Mwanza One Stop Border Post
The project is located at the border with Mozambique in Mwanza.
The works involve expansion of the existing border facility at Mwanza Border Post by constructing the following additional structures; main Passenger terminal and Port health building, Office Block for MRA, MBS and other agencies, Bus parking and inspection shed, New electrical and transformer room, Generator room, Parking areas, access roads and perimeter 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.
