Réunion and Mayotte. Mozambique and Madagascar often considered part of Southern Africa, on the eastern side of the sub-continent. Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe often also included in Southern Africa. The countries that make up East Africa belong to different regional blocs. The table below shows the countries in East Africa (italicised) that belong to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the East African Community (EAC).

It won the Strategic Project of the Year award and the Job Creation Project of the Year. The award testifies to the importance of the North- South Corridor in driving regional integration in the 26 countries in the Tripartite (EAC-COMESA-SADC) with their combined population of 600 million. The USD11bn corridor consists of more than kilometres of road across eight countries in southern and eastern Africa. The North-South Corridor links the port of Durban to the Copperbelt in DRC and Zambia. In addition, spurs link the port of Dar es Salaam with the Copperbelt and link Durban to Malawi (TradeMark SA, 2014). 5 The Northern corridor, pictured below, is the transport corridor linking the land locked countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi with s maritime port of Mombasa. Similarly, the Northern Corridor serves the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, southern Sudan and northern Tanzania. The Northern Corridor infrastructure connects all the five countries of the East African Community and links around 200 million people to global markets through the Mombasa port.

6 Source: Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority, 2014 The major ports in East Africa include Mombasa, Dar es Salam and Tanga. TradeMark East Africa (2013) data shows that year-on-year growth in port traffic since 2008 was 8% at Mombasa (), 13% at Dar es Salaam and 7% at Tanga (Tanzania). In light of this rapid growth many East African states and Asian investors have provided funding for infrastructure upgrades in the region. 6 In terms of port upgrades, is spending USD366m to construct a new container terminal in Mombasa that will more than double the capacity of the current port, from handling 900, foot equivalent unit (TEU) containers to 2,1 million containers (Financial Mail, 2013). A new terminal is also being built on land reclaimed from the sea by Japan Ports Consultants, with the third phase expected to be completed in The new terminal will enable the country to handle larger vessels. China is financing the USD11bn Bagamoyo port in Tanzania. This port is expected to handle 20 million containers a year, more than the total handled by Dar es Salaam and Mombasa. The China Merchant Group is funding the construction of the USD70m Damerjog livestock port and the USD400m Doraleh port in Djibouti. In 2012, Djibouti Ports & Free Zones Authority also announced it was negotiating the financing of USD4,4bn to build five new airports by According to the UN Conference on Trade & Development, Djibouti has overtaken its neighbours and has become an important trans-shipment centre, connecting east-west trade services with feeder services from east and southern Africa.
