Africa50 - Infrastructure

Africa50’s has invested into Scanning Systems, a company specialized in the design, financing, and implementation of One-Stop Joint Border Posts (JBPs) in Africa. The investment will support Scanning Systems to develop JBPs and deliver efficient border management with modern facilities and tools, facilitate transit and increase traffic across the borders of Africa.

The company has been successfully operating the Cinkansé JBP between Burkina Faso and Togo for 10 years and is constructing two additional JBPs in Zégoua (Côte d'Ivoire-Mali border) and Laléraba (Burkina Faso-Côte d'Ivoire border).
