Honoured to represent the Central Corridor at the Land Linked Zambia 2026 in Lusaka under the theme Beyond Borders: Re-Imagining Africa’s Transport Corridors for Prosperity.

The future of Africa lies in integrated, efficient and green corridors that connect markets, unlock trade, create jobs and transform lives. Zambia’s vision to become a land-linked hub strongly aligns with the Central Corridor shared regional agenda for prosperity.

My Remarks to the participants during the Event Opening Ceremony emphasized stronger partnerships, smarter infrastructure and seamless trade systems, which can build corridors that drive growth across Southern, Eastern and Central Africa.

The three Central Corridor member states of Tanzania, Burundi, and DRC have reaffirmed their commitment to developing an electrified SGR network linking the region, during a Tripartite Ministerial Meeting held in Kinshasa on 31 March 2026.

Convened at the invitation of H.E. Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport of the DRC, the meeting brought together Ministers, Ambassadors, senior officials, and technical experts from the three countries, alongside the project consultant, with coordination support from CCTTFA.

Participants reviewed and approved the interim report covering railway operations, signaling, telecommunications, and energy components, while emphasizing the need to fast-track the remaining deliverables in line with agreed timelines.

The project was reaffirmed as a key driver of regional economic development, given its potential to unlock opportunities in mining, agriculture, and trade among the partner states.

[CCTTFA @ccttfaorg]

The Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency, with support from TradeMark Africa @TradeMarkAfrica , conducted national validation workshops in Lubumbashi, DRC from 24 to 25 March 2026 for two strategic studies aimed at improving trade facilitation and security along the Southern Route.

The workshops reviewed the reports of:

1. The feasibility study on the deployment of a cashless payment system for transport and transit-related payments; and
2. The feasibility study on surveillance systems to strengthen security at border posts and key hotspots.

The sessions were facilitated by the respective consultancy Team Leaders and brought together key stakeholders from Government, security agencies, municipalities, private sector operators, commercial banks, and mobile money service providers in the DRC.

The validation process ensured alignment with national priorities, strengthened stakeholder ownership, and enhanced the technical robustness of the studies ahead of their finalisation and implementation.

These initiatives complement ongoing government efforts and are expected to enhance efficiency, transparency, and security along the Corridor, in line with CCTTFA’s mandate to facilitate seamless trade and reduce transit costs.

Dondoo;
1. Kila meli moja ina uwezo wa kuchukua tani 2,000 za mzigo (Jumla tani 8,000 kwa mpigo)
2. Meli hizi zitafanya safari kati ya Bandari ya Karema Tanzania na Bandari ya Kalemii nchini DRC
3. Zitawezesha usafirishaji wa zaidi ya Tani Milioni 2 za mizigo kwa mwaka kwenda DRC (Hii itakuwa ni mara ya kwanza kufikia rekodi ya usafirishaji wa kiwango hicho kikubwa cha mzigo)
4. Wawekezaji wa meli hizi pia watajenga Bandari ya Kigoma na bandari ya Kalemii nchini DRC pamoja na kujenga kilometa 500 za barabara ya lami kati ya Kalemii na eneo la madini la Manono ambalo lina mgodi mkubwa zaidi Duniani wa madini aina ya Lithium yanayotumika kutengeneza betri za magari.
5. Uwekezaji huu unatajiwa kuongeza ufanisi wa Bandari ya Dar es Salaam.

While on a working mission in Kinshasa, DRC, today I had the honor of paying a courtesy visit to H.E. Amb. Dr. Deo Mwapinga @dmwaps , Secretary General of the Forum of Parliaments of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region @FP_ICGLR under @ICGLR.

We held productive discussions on the work of our respective organizations and identified preliminary areas of synergy between @CCTTFA and @ICGLR in promoting regional development particularly as six of the seven Central Corridor member states are also ICGLR members.

We emphasized regional cooperation and infrastructure development as key drivers of economic growth in our member countries.

We look forward to deepening this collaboration.

On behalf of the Central Corridor, I extend our warmest congratulations to the Governments of the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republic of Uganda on the successful signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the development of a cross-border railway linking western Uganda to Tanzania’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) network and the Port of Dar es Salaam. The MoU was signed on Friday 13th March 2026 on the margin of the Tanzania-Uganda Joint Permanent Commission meeting held in Dar es Salaam.

The proposed railway would extend from Isaka in northwestern Tanzania, where the Dar es Salaam–Mwanza SGR terminates, crossing into Uganda at Kikagati before continuing through Mbarara, Bihanga and Kasese to Mpondwe at the DRC border.

This important milestone reflects the strong commitment of both Governments to deepen regional integration, enhance trade facilitation, and strengthen sustainable transport infrastructure across the Central Corridor.

The Central Corridor remains committed to supporting initiatives that advance regional connectivity and unlock new opportunities for trade, investment, and shared prosperity across the region.

[FLORY OKANDJU OKONGE @FloryOKANDJU]

The Governments of Tanzania and DRC have reaffirmed their strong commitment to advancing regional integration and trade through the development of modern transport infrastructure.

During the 2nd High-Level Steering Committee Meeting on the implementation of the Transport Infrastructure Development Program for strengthening Trade between the United Republic of Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo held in Kigoma on 18 March 2026, following the Joint Technical Experts Meeting, significant progress was recorded across key sectors including dry ports development, rail infrastructure, maritime transport, roads, and air connectivity.

The meeting also addressed critical challenges and endorsed strategic actions to accelerate implementation, strengthen partnerships, and enhance coordination between the two countries.

The Central Corridor continues to play a central role in facilitating this collaboration and advancing the shared vision of efficient, interconnected transport systems to reduce logistics costs and support economic growth.

The session concluded with site visits to the Port of Kigoma and Kigoma Airport to assess ongoing infrastructure developments.

Yesterday, 12 March 2026, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), I had the honour of witnessing the signing of the Concession Contract between the Government of the DRC and Boston Developers Ltd for the development of the 45-hectare DRC Dry Port at Kwala in Tanzania.

The contract was signed by H.E. Jean Pierre Bemba, Vice-Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Ways of Communication and Opening Up on behalf of the Government of the DRC, and Mr. Nilax Bhatt, CEO of Boston Developers Ltd, marking the official launch of the project’s implementation.

The project will establish a dedicated logistics platform for the DRC within the 502-hectare Kwala Dry Port complex in Kibaha District, Coast Region of Tanzania, about 60 km from the Port of Dar es Salaam.

Once operational, the facility will serve as an inland logistics hub for Congolese cargo, helping reduce congestion at the Port of Dar es Salaam while improving cargo clearance and transportation to the eastern and southern regions of the DRC.

Developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), the project will be financed and operated by Boston Developers Ltd, and represents an important step in strengthening trade and logistics along the Central Corridor.
