AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Port & Roads: Tanzania’s Port of Mtwara is expanding capacity with a new berth and deeper water, boosting year-round handling of fuel, cement, coal, pigeon peas, cashew nuts and heavy vehicles—cargo now reaches Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Mozambique. Transport Infrastructure: Dar es Salaam’s Nelson Mandela Road expansion is set to start next year, with Tanroads planning an eight-lane upgrade plus BRT lanes to cut congestion and speed port-linked freight. Regional Trade & Payments: Burundi will join the East African Payment System by December 2026, aiming for real-time cross-border payments and less reliance on foreign currencies; meanwhile Tanzania and DRC plan to strengthen multimodal links to expand a Sh794bn trade corridor. Humanitarian & Business Impact: DP World and WFP delivered 5,000 tonnes of rice to Burundi, DRC and Rwanda to support emergency food aid. Refugee Access to Services: In Malawi’s Dzaleka camp, two Burundian women reportedly died after being unable to pay healthcare deposits, sparking allegations of discrimination and poor access. Health Systems Pressure: Masaka hospital’s CT scanner breakdown has left Ugandan patients stranded for weeks, pushing urgent scans to private facilities. Finance: KCB unveiled a Sustainability Bond Framework ahead of a planned KSh 300bn medium-term note programme.
