The BCI’s main objective is to create a platform and drive engagement with its various stakeholders, whereby constraints can be addressed and solutions can be obtained, thus improving the corridor for all its national and international users, and hinterland economies – Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe – as whole.
A two day event, 1st & 2nd of August, took place in Harare, Zimbabwe with over 200 guests in which RBG AL successfully participated.
The Beira Corridor Initiative has already held conferences in Harare twice and in Lilongwe once while similar conferences in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are scheduled for September, 2019.
