  • A Political Economy Analysis of the Nacala and Beira Corridors
    ecdpm’s Making policies work DISCUSSION PAPER No. 277 A political economy analysis of the Nacala and Beira corridors By Bruce Byiers, Poorva Karkare and Luckystar Miyandazi July 2020 While trade and transport costs in Africa are high, those faced in Malawi are higher than in the wider region. International partners are keen to invest in improving trade and transportation, with a view to promoting socio-economic development in the region, but trade and transport are highly political in both Malawi and Mozambique. This study maps out the different factors and actors that shape current use of the Nacala and Beira corridors connecting Malawi to the Mozambican coast. High-level political relations have fluctuated through time, and though cordial, do not provide a solid basis for improving efficiency along the Nacala rail corridor, with domestic priorities on both sides dominating cross-border cooperation. Thus far, Beira has emerged in Mozambique as the more efficient port serving Malawi and the wider region where state-business relations have aligned with political objectives. Nacala has been made efficient for coal exports but coordination for other trade is lacking, with political interests more geared towards a competition for control of rents. Mozambican road transporters have also the upper hand over Malawian transport, though the market is highly segmented for imports and exports and different goods. External support to improve efficiency will need to take account of the vested state-business interests round the ports and corridors, particularly in Mozambique, and rekindle multi-actor cross-border coordination mechanisms, ideally including different government bodies, private service providers as well as businesses engaged in exports/imports, and learning from past failures to coordinate better.

    Project to improve the institutional capacities of local authorities in Brazil and Mozambique as actors of decentralised cooperation guarulhos porto alegre Canoas maringá dondo VITÓRIA belo horizonte lichinga maputo inhambane XAI XAI nampula manhiça MATOLA United Cities and Local Governments and our members are committed to decentralised coo- peration, and have a long history of supporting solidarity and learning among local and regio- nal governments around the world. Members of UCLG are present in all world regions, organi- sed into seven Regional Sections, one Metropo- litan Section and one Forum of Regions. With over 170 associations of local governments as our members, UCLG represents more than 240,000 cities, towns, and local and regional governments. Through the City Future project initiated in 2007 with the support of the Mi- nistry of Norway and Cities Alliance, UCLG re- newed opportunities to develop a South-South and triangular peer-to-peer exchange that has become stronger throughout the years. This project has had a particular impact on coope- ration between Brazilian and Mozambican cities. UCLG, the National Association of Local Authori- ties of Mozambique (ANAMM) and the National Front of Mayors of Brazil (FNP) have developed various initiatives through political coordina- tion between municipalities, and by identifying the significant needs of the cooperation. Project coordination agreements were signed within the aforementioned organisations and logistical sup- port and a technical interface between the cities were provided by our project partner Architects without Borders – Catalonia (ASF-Cat) and our academic partner UNESCO Chair’s Intermediary Cities Network (CIMES) at the University of Llei- da.

Introduction 1.1 The overall objective of the project is to provide accessibility to the remotest districts of Niassa and Cabo Delgado provinces of Mozambique. Its purpose is to reduce transport costs and stimulate economic development, national integration as well as developing an alternative corridor for regional and international trade. 1.2 The strategic environmental context has been comprehensively studied in the commissioned Lichinga–Montepuez EIA (Volume 3 of the Feasibility Study), September 2003. This report was financed by the Bank and covers the entire corridor. Detailed socio- economic information is presented regarding the populations in the two provinces, the development context and subsistence base. The report covers in depth the nature of potentially affected heritage and cultural sites (particularly grave sites) as well as wildlife issues. The report also contains a well articulated environmental management plan as a ‘stand-alone’ attachment to the report. 1.3 The report has been updated for the current project sector, together with a Compensation Plan or detailed Resettlement Plan in line with the Bank’s requirements for a Category 1 project. This document is a summary of the major findings and recommendations. 2. Project Description
