U.S. Boosts Regional Integration and Economic Development in East Africa. The United States has pledged to enhance regional integration and sustainable economic development in Tanzania and its neighboring countries. This commitment was announced by Helaina Matza, the U.S. Acting Special Coordinator for the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, during a recent virtual press briefing. The announcement follows Matza's visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania, where she explored opportunities to expand the Lobito Corridor, a significant infrastructure project aimed at connecting the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The Lobito Corridor initiative seeks to establish a Trans-Africa Corridor that will link the DRC and Tanzania, facilitating trade and economic growth across the region. Matza emphasized that the corridor is not solely about infrastructure but also about shaping the future of the region by promoting high-quality, sustainable projects that drive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance trade. The initiative prioritizes transparency, good governance, and aims to spur investments in agriculture, digital connectivity, food security, and clean energy. A significant aspect of this initiative is the partnership with Lifezone Metals to support a new nickel project in Tanzania, which includes developing a special economic zone. #USA #Africa #Lobitocorridor
