Corridors to accelerate Infrastructure development
• Government invested in major transport infrastructure to link Namibia with rest of neighbouring countries:
•Port development, •Rail development, (Links with Angola, Botswana, Zambia)•Road development (Links with Angola, Botswana, Zambia)
• Optimize unique location of Namibia and to establish new trade routes to link Namibia with rest of the SADC region
• Increased/important role of transport & logistics as GDP %
