The Nacala Road Corridor comprises a total of 1033km of road works and two one-stop border posts one between Mozambique and Malawi and the other between Malawi and Zambia. Due to the size of the project it is to be implemented in three Phases: Phase I the subject comprises 361km or 35% of road works in Mozambique and Malawi. Phase II comprises 360km or 34.9% of road works in Zambia and Phase III of 312km or 30.1% of road works in Mozambique and Malawi and two one-stop border posts between Mozambique and Malawi and Malawi and Zambia. The financing requirements for Phase I amounts to UA195.94 million comprising UA180.03 million to finance the components in Mozambique and UA15.91 million to finance the components in Malawi.
The main beneficiaries of the project include transport industry, export/import operators, freight operators, business community, and communities along the corridor. The impacts on the beneficiaries will include reduced travel time, transport cost savings, shorter turnaround time for international cargo freighters, protection of pavement from premature damage, and improved accessibility of communities to social services and markets. During construction, beneficiaries will participate through provision of labour, goods and services for road and related works. During operation, the beneficiaries will be charged with responsibility for care of road assets and abiding by axle-load controls.
