The @NorthernCoridor, in collaboration with @Rwandainfra , @RTDARwanda and other national stakeholders, convened a Validation Workshop for the Feasibility Study, Detailed Engineering Designs and Master Plan for the proposed 𝗥𝘂𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱 in @Gicumbi_Rwanda .

The workshop provides a platform for government institutions, transport operators, private sector representatives and other stakeholders to review, validate and enrich the study findings, engineering designs and long-term development vision before implementation. Their valuable contributions will ensure that the project responds effectively to the needs of Northern corridor users while aligning with national and regional transport priorities.

Once implemented, the Rukomo Truck Holding Yard will serve as a modern Roadside Station (RSS) designed to improve freight transport efficiency, road safety and driver welfare along the Northern Corridor. The facility will provide secure parking for trucks, quality rest areas, sanitation facilities, and other essential amenities that reduce roadside parking and driver fatigue.

It is also expected to ease congestion in urban centres, enhance cargo movement, strengthen supply chain reliability, improve security for goods and vehicles, and stimulate local economic development through increased business opportunities and job creation.

Today, the @NorthernCoridor held its 38th Meeting of the Council of Ministers in Nairobi, Kenya, bringing together Ministers and Permanent Secretaries from the Northern Corridor Member States to review progress and set the strategic direction for the Authority.

The meeting was chaired by Hon. Egide Nijimbere, Minister for Infrastructure, Social Housing, Transport and Equipment of the Republic of Burundi and Chairperson of the Northern Corridor Council of Ministers, who commended Member States for the successful deliberations and urged them to expedite the implementation of the Council's decisions, particularly in infrastructure development, policy harmonisation and resource mobilisation for priority regional projects.

The Council applauded the continued improvement in the performance of the Northern Corridor, including increased cargo throughput at the Port of Mombasa, growth in transit volumes, and strengthened collaboration with development partners.

To further facilitate trade and improve the movement of goods across the region, the Council directed the Secretariat to intensify efforts to eliminate non-tariff barriers, fast-track customs systems integration, implement the Green Freight Strategy 2030, and closely monitor implementation of the updated Northern Corridor Infrastructure Master Plan.

The Council also approved the Annual Work Plan and Budget for the 2026/2027 Financial Year and called on Member States to fast-track the signing and ratification of the revised Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Agreement.

These decisions reaffirm the Member States' shared commitment to building a more connected, efficient, resilient and sustainable Northern Corridor that drives regional trade, economic growth and prosperity.

MEMORIAL RUTSINDURA 2026

From May 22 to 24, 2026, we held a wonderful Rutsindura Alphonse Memorial Tournament 2026 .

We sincerely thank everyone who contributed to the success of this event, especially Father Superior Jean De Dieu Habanabashaka, the sponsors, the leadership of Huye and Gisagara Districts, the 60 teams from all categories that participated in the tournament, volleyball fans, and the former students of the Petit Séminaire de Butare who dedicated themselves to this initiative.

Rutsindura Alphonse was killed during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi together with his wife, Verene Mukarubayiza, and their three children.

Alphonse Rutsindura was a teacher and volleyball coach of the famous volleyball team of the Petit Séminaire de Butare during the 1984–1985 academic year. Many of us passed through his hands, and for many of us, he was the one who taught us volleyball from scratch.

He was also a musician and songwriter who founded the Choir “IJURU,” which still exists today.

He was also a journalist who founded the newspaper called “AMAKURU KI BUTARE.”

We also remember the other Tutsi who worked or studied at the Petit Séminaire de Butare and who were killed during the Genocide against the Tutsi: priests, teachers, staff members, and students.

May God grant them eternal rest, and we shall remember them forever.

Remember — Unite — Renew

The launch of Nyali Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station and the flag-off of the Mombasa-Nairobi EV Parade mark another bold step toward a cleaner and smarter transport future for the region.

As the backbone of regional trade and connectivity, the @NorthernCoridor continues to champion sustainable transport solutions across its 13,000 km multimodal network that links the Port of Mombasa to the Great Lakes Region. Every day, the Corridor facilitates the movement of nearly 75,000 tons of freight, reinforcing its critical role in driving economic growth while advancing climate-conscious transport systems.

Through the Green Freight Strategy 2030, the Northern Corridor is accelerating efforts to reduce freight emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and build resilient transport infrastructure for the future. With ongoing initiatives such as the Electrification Readiness Study, eco-driving and fleet management trainings, and support for electric freight transport infrastructure, the Corridor is steadily positioning itself as a leader in green mobility in Africa.

The Nyali EV Charging Station represents more than infrastructure; it symbolizes the region’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and a net-zero emission Corridor by 2050.

A major milestone for the future of regional trade and transport is taking shape as stakeholders convene in Mombasa for the validation of the Feasibility Studies, Master Plan, and Detailed Engineering Designs for the development of the @NorthernCoridor Regional Logistics Hub within the Naivasha Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

This transformative initiative has the potential to redefine logistics⚙️, cargo movement🚛 , and regional connectivity along the Northern Corridor, positioning Naivasha as a strategic gateway for trade and economic growth across East Africa.

The validation brought together key stakeholders, including representatives from Northern Corridor Member States, to deliberate on a project expected to enhance efficiency, reduce transport costs, strengthen multimodal transport systems, and unlock new investment opportunities for the region.

Global Sustainable Logistics Survey (GSLS)

🌍🚀 Now live: The GSLS - we invite the logistics community along the @NorthernCoridor to help shape the future of sustainable logistics.

The Global Sustainable Logistics Survey (GSLS) has been launched — a new global effort to track progress toward more sustainable logistics systems.

Developed by the Kuehne Climate Center (KCC) together with the Center for Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chains at Kuehne Logistics University, the GSLS is an independent, long-term global survey and an official contribution to the UN Decade of Action on Sustainable Transport (2026–2036).

📊 Why it matters:
It seeks to establish a global baseline and continuously track how logistics systems evolve; across emissions, corporate strategies, policy development, and global investments.
