Background
The Southern Africa Trade and Connectivity Project (SATCP), funded by the World Bank with a $150
million budget over six years (July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2027), aims to bolster private sector
engagement along designated corridors in Malawi and Mozambique. Its overarching goal is to
support these countries in enhancing regional trade coordination, minimizing trade costs and time,
fostering the development of regional value chains, and enhancing access to infrastructure. SATCP,
along with initiatives like the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA),
facilitates significant economic benefits by promoting increased regional trade, income growth, job
creation, and resilience to economic shocks through coordinated and controlled movements
across borders.
In this context, promoting regular cross-border movement to enhance trade is essential for
advancing Malawi's development priorities and supporting the implementation of the African
Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) as mandated by the African Union (AU) Member
States, especially across identified trade routes/ corridors with significant economic roles.
However, frequent delays in passenger and freight movement result in significant financial losses
for the region annually. Inadequate and disjointed border management remains a primary obstacle
to trade facilitation, leading to increased delays and prolonged immigration and customs
processing times. Moreover, insufficient information and data-sharing systems among
neighbouring countries, coupled with a lack of harmonized immigration ICT systems and challenges
such as the COVID-19 pandemic, further hinder the smooth movement of people and goods across
borders.
