Looking at this I found that infrastructure is categorized as "Other Economic Growth Efforts", and it seems that infrastructure is not included in the figures. I only see a broad category called "Trade and investment assistance", but it seems to cover other spending. It's set at 134 million, but I would like to know if there's a more reliable figure than that.

Economic Growth (including Climate Change). Economic growth assistance would see a 50% upswing from FY2021 allocations, with $936 million requested for FY2023.51 Aid for agriculture, the largest focus area of U.S. economic growth funding for Africa, would see a $65 million increase from FY2021 (see Text Box). Trade and investment assistance would also increase, to $134 million, including $100 million for Prosper Africa and $27 million requested separately for USAID’s East Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa regional operating units. The request proposes $20 million for USAID’s Africa Regional Bureau (AFR) for “Digital Africa,” intended to “foster the growth of an inclusive and resilient African digital ecosystem led by African communities and built on an open, interoperable, reliable, and secure Internet.”
