The project commences at the port city of Mombasa and covers a distance of 480 km to Nairobi and then 120km to Naivasha. It then proceeds 500km westwards to the Kenya/Uganda border through Kisumu. On the Ugandan side, the project covers the 250km Malaba - Kampala section and the spur from Tororo to Gulu via Soroti

The project supports operationalisation of the Single African Air Transport Market by addressing the infrastructure and airspace-management constraints that limit safe, efficient and competitive air transport. It covers both physical aviation infrastructure, including airports and air-navigation systems, and the institutional and technical architecture required for a seamless African airspace. The master plan is expected to consolidate national and regional plans, forecast traffic and capacity needs, identify infrastructure gaps, prioritise investments and develop an implementation roadmap. The seamless airspace component is intended to promote harmonised procedures, performance-based navigation, flexible routes, common surveillance-code arrangements and interoperable CNS/ATM systems. The African Union Commission and AFCAC are the principal continental institutions, working with ICAO, regional economic communities, air-navigation service providers, civil-aviation authorities and industry stakeholders. All African Union member states are beneficiaries. A continent-wide aviation infrastructure gap analysis was completed and validated in 2023. Official ICAO and AFCAC reporting in 2024-2026 indicates that its results are being used to refine the air-navigation master strategy and identify bankable national and regional projects. The 2026 AU Assembly still called for mobilisation of financing for development of the Continental Aviation Infrastructure Master Plan.

The design for the LAPSSET higway components provide for a heavy transportation route from Lamu to South Sudan through Garissa, Isiolo, Kisima and Nginyang to meet the existing Kenya - South Sudan road at Lokichar, from where it continues to the border at Nadapal. The Lamu - Isiolo - Lokichar - Lodwar - Nadapal section measures about 1,300 km. The Northern Branch of the corridor to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia is the Isiolo- Moyale section which is also part of LAPSSET Corridor road. Construction on this section has been completed and the One Stop Border Post (OSBP) construction is currently underway. The project is divided into four sections as follows: Lamu - Garissa  Road -263km Garissa-Isiolo Road - 305km Isiolo - Nginyang Road - 212km Nginyang - Lokichar - Nadapal - 533km NB: The Government of Kenya is currently working on the re-alignment of Isiolo-Nginyang-Lokichar Section). The new aligned section takes the route: Isiolo-Lareta-Maralal-Baragoi-Lokori-Lokichar). Other sections remain the same.

The AXIS Project aims to facilitate the development of an African internet infrastructure through policy and regulatory reform, capacity building and technical assistance. Development of an African internet infrastructure refers to the establishment of regional internet exchange points (IXPs) and internet carriers. The AXIS Project is being implemented through two phases. Phase I consists of capacity building to support the establishment of national IXPs through providing a series of two workshops for stakeholders and the Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) on I) best practice and benefits of IXP and II) technical assistance through workshops which will cover the technical and administrative skills needed to set up, operate, and administer an IXP.

Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from Eldoret to the border with Uganda.

Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from the border with Kenya to Kampala, Uganda.

Construction of petroleum pipeline between Malaba, Kenya to eastern side of Kampala, Uganda. It is envisaged that the 210 km,  8 inch diameter pipeline will move Malaba to Jinja (130 km) and then Jinja to Kampala (80 km). It will have a pumping rate of 168 m3 per hour and an annual capacity of 1.2 million cubic meter. The pipeline will carry refined petroleum products from the Kenyan port city of Mombasa to Nairobi, then continue to Eldoret. It was then to be extended to the Kampala, Uganda from Eldoret. The total construction cost for the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali portion of the pipeline is estimated at approximately US$5 billion. In November 2014, the International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank, pledged to lend US$600 million towards the construction of the Eldoret-Kampala section of the project. The Kampala terminal will have a capacity of 72,000 m3 and comprise of 7 products and 4 interface tanks. It is estimated that the Malaba-Kampala line will cost USD 96.9 million. The Uganda Government is considering relocating the storage facility from the eastern side to the west side of Kampala city. The Ugandan Government has acquired land in Namwambula village for setting up the multi-user storage terminal  It will among other things: Serve as a distribution center for petroleum products from the refinery to market centers in Kampala, Western Kenya, Northern Tanzania and Rwanda A storage and distribution centre for imported petroleum products A delivery point for the planned Hoima - Kampala products pipeline and the planned Eldoret (Kenya) - Kampala (Uganda) products pipeline. It will as well serve as the starting point for the planned Kampala (Uganda)-Kigali (Rwanda) products pipelineCurrent truck transportation rates vary from $40 - $ 42 per m3. Total duration to procure, construct and commission 2 to 2.5 years. The feasibility study for the Eldoret to Kampala pipeline extension was awarded to an international firm in 1997. The study was completed in 1998, and the report was submitted the following year. The study was funded by the European Investment Bank.  Construction is expected to begin in 2014, with a 32-month construction time frame. Commissioning is expected in 2016.

The railway project preliminary designs are complete for the Kenyan and Ethiopian route and expected to proceed to the Detailed Engineering Design stage. The Government Kenya and the Government of Ethiopia have signed a Bilateral Agreement to jointly pursue the development of the LAPSSET Standard Gauge Railway. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between LCDA and Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to facilitate the financing of this stage though an Infrastructure Project Preparatory Fund (IPPF) available through the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD).

The project scope will cover construction of the first nine deep sea berths at the Lamu Port in Manda Bay to contain Crude Oil and Coal Terminals, General Cargo and Bulk Cargo Terminals.  This may involve some of all of the following activities, i.e. dredging and reclamation; construction of berths and yards; construction of revetment, causeway and road; construction of buildings and utilities; procurement of equipment and tug boats; etc.  

A One-Stop Border Post (OSBP) facility at Nadapal border between South Sudan and Kenya on the Northern Corridor.

The governments of Kenya and Uganda and Rwanda have committed to the development of a standard gauge railway that links the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya. This project entails the section from Tororo to Gulu to Pakwach in Uganda.

Kenya already has several sub-marine fibers landing in Mombasa and has already done terrestrial fiber connecting the sub-marine cable to the borders of the other partner countries ( Busia border for Uganda, Mandera border for Somalia, Moyale border for Ethiopia, Nadapal border for South sudan, Lunga-lunga, Namanga and Holili border for Tanzania). The inter-connectivity infrastructure at the border points comprising 400 Gbps PoPs and Smart Hub data centre in Mombasa are lacking.
