Good practice of corridor governance
Based on the information provided above, the following good practices can be identified:
 The MCLI is based on a collaboration between public and private partners; with infrastructure
investors, service providers and users included, all focused on the promotion and further
development of the Maputo Corridor;
 The MCLI provides a strong example where a number of corridor founders, which were
predominantly representatives from the private sector, have created a successful initiative towards
developing a transport corridor, with obvious broader socio-economic impact, and is based on
strong international collaboration, including Mozambique, Swaziland and South Africa.
