  • Malawi Has a Very Limited Transport System and It Is One of the Lowest in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region
    SECTOR POSITION PAPER Malawi Office TRANSPORT 1. Current situation and major challenges of the sector: Malawi has a very limited transport system and it is one of the lowest in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. As a result of all these problems, the country faces high transport costs (average cost in the region of US$7 per ton per km and Malawi with a cost of US$7 to US$10) rendering economic and social development difficult. However, there is an attempt to invest in aviation; rejuvenation of the rail subsector is also a target of the Government of Malawi as well as continued expansion of the roads subsector. The COVID-19 Pandemic is also severely affecting the sector. Many experts from development partners have had to return to their country of origin and the import of crucial materials especially for construction has proved to be more challenging as the movement of goods from country to country has slowed down. Malawi’s transport sector comprises of the following sub-sectors: a) Road sub-sector: According to the Ministry of Transport Joint Sector Review (2018) The main method of transportation is by road with 90% of goods and 70 % of passengers using this method of transportation for local and international destinations respectively. Classified road network comprises 15,451 km of which only 26% (2,317.7 km) is paved. b) Inland water transport extends from the northern to the southern region passing through the centre. Main ship ports are Monkey Bay in the south, which is also a ship assembling dock, Chipoka and Nkhota-kota in the central region, Nkhata Bay, and Chilumba in the northern region.
