Day 2️⃣ | PIDA Steering Committee Meeting – Abuja, Nigeria Day 2️⃣ | PIDA Steering Committee Meeting – Abuja, Nigeria Regional Economic Communities are the building blocks of Africa’s much-needed regional integration, and #PIDA remains the physical expression of that vision. On the second day of the PIDA Steering Committee Meeting in Abuja, discussions focused on the progress made across regions in advancing PIDA-PAP2 priority projects. Flagship initiatives such as the 1,028 km Abidjan–Lagos Corridor and the Praia–Dakar–Abidjan multimodal corridor were highlighted as benchmarks, with a clear consensus to redouble efforts to accelerate implementation. Closing financing gaps, strengthening project preparation, and ensuring sustained political leadership were deemed essential to advancing projects from concept to construction.//

Congolese travellers returning from Livingstone, Zambia, recently spent eight night hours crouched at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport waiting for a flight to Addis Ababa, where they would connect to Kinshasa, a journey of nearly 7,000km and more than 10 hours in the air. Zambia and the DRC share a border, one traveller noted. A direct flight from Lusaka to Kinshasa would cover the 1,872km distance in under three hours. But no such route exists. zurl.co/EE7XN

Africa needs « development corridors » and has already defined them in #Pida ; #development corridors are inclusive in their design , the so called mining corridors are essentially extractive by nature. @LopesInsights @claverGatete @lwantchekon
