The Maputo Corridor Logistics Initiative (MCLI) has developed a five-year strategy to address a number of non-tariff trade barriers on this key trade corridor connecting Johannesburg to Maputo.
Speaking at a joint MCLI and Transport Special Interest Group (SIG) Forum held in Nelspruit last month, MCLI CEO Barbara Mommen highlighted the need for integration of infrastructure, policy, legislation, processes and systems across borders to ensure sustainable development and competitive supply chains.
“Only through seamless integration of port, road, border and rail, via effective partnerships between the corridor’s private and public sector associates, can predictability, reliability and efficiency – which are crucial to supply chains – be achieved.”
She said that part of MCLI’s vision was to ensure the sharing of information, accountability by all partners and the subsequent delivery of efficient and cost-effective services on the Maputo Corridor.
