The Trans-Cunene Corridor links Walvis Bay to Angola’s southern region, extending economic opportunities to Lubango and beyond. 

With plans to connect railway systems across the border, the Trans-Cunene Corridor represents the future of integrated transport in Africa.

In May 1997, the Republic of Namibia and the Republic of Angola formally agreed to create the Trans-Cunene corridor as a means of opening northern Namibia and southern Angola to economic development opportunities.

The Corridor road infrastructure is supported by the northern railway line, which presently extends from the Port of Walvis Bay to Oshikango. A further extension of the rail line across the Angolan border is planned, where Angola will extend their rail line to connect to this line.

The Angolan Government is in progress with road rehabilitations nationwide, which include the Santa Clara – Lubango leg, as well as the Lubango – Lobito leg which extends the Trans-Cunene Corridor up to Luanda.
