Participation, Voice and Governance in African Investment Corridors
The Lamu Port and South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor Project (LAPSSET)
Abstract
An investment or growth corridor is a geographical area of a country or group of countries surrounding a major transport route, which supports economic activity either end of, and along, the route. Drawing on APRA’s work studying growth corridors in East Africa, this brief focuses on the Lamu Port and South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor, presenting an overview of the corridor’s infrastructural plan and its place within the region’s politics, as well as its implications for those who live and work along the corridor’s planned route – including smallholders, fishers and pastoralists.
This work is part of the APRA (Agricultural Policy Research Policy in Africa) Programme
