    4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure

    Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure 4.1 Infrastructure Bottlenecks under Growth Scenarios 4.1.1 Current Industrial Situation of the Corridors In parallel with the macro analysis undertaken in Chapter 2, summary information on development potential in the region (especially of mineral resources development accompanied by cross-border transport improvements and an overview of a Mega Project) are presented in this section. More details may be found in Appendix B. The results serve as input to Section 4.1.3 on Infrastructure Bottlenecks under the Growth Scenarios. The figure below visually summarizes the mineral and agricultural potential in the Southern African region. (The number of corridor in Figure 4.1.1 corresponds to this section’s paragraph number.) Figure 4.1.1 Mineral and Agricultural Resources and Corridors (1) Nacala Corridor Nacala is regarded as the best location for a deepwater port on the East African coast. The Nacala Corridor has consequently been at the forefront of ongoing initiatives to rehabilitate the rail link to Malawi, thereby creating a number of “anchor” tenants and promoting development 4-1 Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 along the corridor. Together with Beira and other corridors (Sena and Tete), these developments have been linked to the possible export of coal from the Moatize and Benga coal fields as well as from the Muchana Vuzi coal fields north of the Cahorra Bassa Dam in Tete Province, Mozambique. The corridor is ultimately seen as linking Lusaka in Zambia with the Port of Nacala.

D., Co-Advisor This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract The Walvis Bay Corridor Group will use this report as a strategy for transforming the Trans-Kalahari Corridor from a transport route to an economic development corridor. This report, compiled from interviews with government and private sector officials as well as town councils, will determine the current, planned, and envisioned projects that are under development along the Trans-Kalahari Corridor. Furthermore, it will provide recommendations for solutions to the socio-economic issues that will need to be overcome for corridor development. i Executive Summary After gaining independence in 1990, Namibia established a National Development Plan with the objective of creating and maintaining economic growth, increasing employment opportunities, reducing poverty, and decreasing the inequalities in income distribution. The long term plan for this objective was Vision 2030, which established a goal of transforming Namibia from a low-income developing country to a high-income developed country by the year 2030.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Keywords: transportation, infrastructure, truck stops ABSTRACT We created this report to help the Walvis Bay Corridor Group create truck stops in Namibia to improve the country’s transportation infrastructure for truck drivers. We conducted a survey of truck drivers and numerous interviews with relevant companies to determine what services truck stops in Namibia should feature and where they should be located. Furthermore, we made recommendations about how to expand our plan to install truck stops in additional locations in the future. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank Gilbert Boois, our on-site liaison, and everyone else at the Walvis Bay Corridor Group who guided and helped us throughout our time in Namibia.
