Abstract

An investment or growth corridor is a geographical area of a country or group of countries surrounding a major transport route, which supports economic activity either end of, and along, the route. Drawing on APRA鈥檚 work studying growth corridors in East Africa, this brief focuses on the Lamu Port and South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor, presenting an overview of the corridor鈥檚聽 infrastructural plan and its place within the region鈥檚 politics, as well as its implications for those who live and work along the corridor鈥檚 planned route 鈥� including smallholders, fishers and pastoralists.

This work is part of the APRA (Agricultural Policy Research Policy in Africa) Programme
