π Tender Overview
Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe looking to develop port and rail project.
The project foresees the construction of a deep-water port over an area of 13,000 hectares, and of 1,200 kilometre-long railway line crossing Zimbabwe and connecting Mozambique to Botswana. Construction of the Techobanine Railway and Port will be developed through a Public-Private Partnership, with agreed institutional arrangements between Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique, as stakeholders in the project.
The Techobanine rail and port project, currently estimated to be worth around US$1.5 billion, will increase cargo handling capacity across the three countries.
Furthermore, a definitive study will establish the value of the project, which may also be financed by the AfDB, as well as the governments involved and international partners.
