About
The Western Trade Coast Infrastructure Strategy (Infrastructure Strategy) is a coordinated and collaborative assessment of the infrastructure and policy mechanisms required to address existing and future constraints to industrial development in the Western Trade Coast.
The Infrastructure Strategy comprises infrastructure and policy mechanisms to deconstrain the Western Trade Coast and facilitate its transformation into a Global Advanced Industries Hub. It includes 12 development strategies, organized by focus area: transport, maritime, utility, land use, and policy and regulatory frameworks.
Each development strategy has discrete recommendations which are outlined below.
Next steps
The development options identified in the Infrastructure Strategy provide a shortlist of possible government-led initiatives that may be beneficial in addressing the constraints to industrial development in the Western Trade Coast. They will inform government investigations and will be used to guide sequential investment in the region.
