EU backs Africa-Europe strategic trade corridors

[FfFfFfFF 59,067]

The European Union is stepping up efforts to improve transport and trade connections between Africa and Europe through its Global Gateway strategy

A recent assessment by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) has identified 11 strategic transport corridor investments across Africa with the potential to improve mobility, trade efficiency, and regional development.

These corridor investments span over 30 countries and are designed to create smart, clean, and secure connections across digital, energy, and transport sectors. The initiative aligns with the EU’s goal of building new trade and investment partnerships while supporting Africa’s long-term economic and social growth.

The 11 identified corridors cover a wide geographical spread across West, Central, East, and Southern Africa. These include:

Abidjan-Lagos, Abidjan-Ouagadougou, and Praia-Dakar-Abidjan in West Africa

Libreville-Kribi-Douala-N’Djamena and Douala-Kampala in Central Africa

Dar es Salaam to Djibouti and Mombasa-Kisangani in East Africa

Maputo-Walvis Bay, Durban-Lubumbashi, and Lobito-Ndola in Southern Africa.

One corridor, Cairo to Kampala, is still under review.
