This document discusses the growth of ports and transport corridors in Namibia to facilitate regional trade integration. It outlines Namibia's strategic investments in port development in Walvis Bay, as well as road and rail links to neighboring countries. These transport corridors have accelerated economic growth and established Namibia as a gateway for trade within the SADC region. Cargo volumes through the port of Walvis Bay and along the transport corridors have increased dramatically in recent years as a result of the corridor development initiatives.
