Economic corridor · horizon 7–10 years

Logistics and economic corridor

Turn a transport axis into a development corridor: logistics, energy, services and activity hubs.

Programme modelReplicable model: sizing assumptions, to be adapted to each territory.

The vision

A corridor is not a road: it is an economic system. The programme articulates the transport axis with logistics platforms, energy, digital connectivity and activity hubs at strategic nodes — so that value flows through, and stops in, the territories crossed.

Programme components

Axis infrastructure

Rehabilitation/maintenance of the axis, structures, road safety.

Logistics platforms

Dry ports, freight stations, bonded warehouses.

Energy & digital

Electrification of the nodes, fibre and mobile coverage.

Activity hubs

Business zones at intersections, services to hauliers.

Facilitation

One-stop shops, customs interoperability, flow observatory.

Intended effects, to be measured

  • Lower logistics costs and lead times along the axis.
  • Activity and jobs at the corridor's nodes.
  • Better-captured customs and tax revenue.

Anchor — where our legitimacy on this model comes from

Mobilisable anchor: the promoter's experience on major transport infrastructure — Ouagadougou-Donsin airport (80 buildings, 120,000 m², 34 MW), Malabo, Yaoundé-Nsimalen and Douala (GEQUIPS reference sheets, engagement framework stated).

Our place

ODT replaces neither the mayor, nor the ministry, nor the funder. It designs, integrates and verifies.

ODT is an architect, an integrator and a trusted third party. It coordinates and designs; it does not replace sector authorities and does not hold the funds. Each model or principle described here is tested on the Productive Territories demonstrators, whose status is dated.

From model to programme

Adapt this model to your territory

A model is only a starting point: yours is sized with your data, your actors and your financing windows.
