The Africa n Development Bank has successfully concluded a two-day preparatory workshop on implementing the Africa n Ports Connectivity Portal Project to improve data collection and connectivity among the continent's ports.
The initiative comes as a response to longstanding inefficiencies in African ports operations, which have led to higher logistics costs and hindered economic growth. Many ports across the continent have suffered from underinvestment and lack of reliable port performance data, essential for effective planning and management.
The workshop resulted in several recommendations including the need to involve supranational organizations such as the African Union Commission, African governments, regional organizations, port management associations, port authorities, and the private sector. Marco Yamaguchi, Division Manager, Transport and Logistics at the African Development Bank, described the envisioned portal as"a tool for optimizing port operations to facilitate intra-African trade, enhance security and transparency, and promote sustainable development."
