Dedza One Stop Border Post
The project involves construction of a new border facility at Dedza. The following facilities will be constructed at the new Dedza border facility; Main Passenger terminal and Port health building, Office Block for MRA, MBS and other agencies, Bus inspection shed, warehouse, Scanner shed, Voltage regulator room for scanner equipment, Animal and plant/ Agriculture products clearance building, Cargo Inspection shed, Transformer and electrical equipment house, Generator house, Solar equipment house, Gate houses, parking areas and roads and Permanent fence
The construction of the border will lead to an improvement in the processing of imports and exports at the border crossing between Malawi and Mozambique which will see a reduction in truck and passenger wait time at the border once the facility becomes a One Stop Border Post.
