Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor
The Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET) is a major infrastructure project aimed at enhancing trade and transportation in East Africa. It connects the Lamu Port in Kenya to South Sudan and Ethiopia, facilitating the movement of goods and people across these countries. The corridor includes roads, railways, and pipelines, promoting economic growth and regional integration.
This transport corridor is expected to boost access to international markets for landlocked countries like South Sudan and Ethiopia. By improving connectivity, LAPSSET aims to reduce transportation costs and time, ultimately benefiting local economies and enhancing trade opportunities in the region.
