This project aims to create a direct waterway that would connect the landlocked countries around Lake Victoria to global markets through the Mediterranean Sea. By doing so, it seeks to enhance regional trade, transportation, and connectivity.
The specific objectives of the VICMED project, as mentioned in the provided information, are as follows:
1. Connecting footprint countries: The project aims to establish a transportation link that connects the countries in the region, facilitating the movement of goods and people between them.
2. Providing opportunities for landlocked countries: Landlocked countries in the vicinity of Lake Victoria would benefit from the project by gaining access to international markets through the navigational line.
3. Supporting economic development: The VICMED project is expected to contribute to the economic development of the countries involved by promoting trade, attracting investment, and creating employment opportunities.
The VICMED PMU is actively collaborating with the African Development Bank (AfDB), the NEPAD Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (NEPAD-IPPF), and COMESA to secure committed funding for Phase 2 of the feasibility study, which amounts to $11.7 million. The preparation of the Terms of Reference for the Phase 2 feasibility study has been finalized, and the study was officially launched in December 2022.
