Southern African nations get road, rail funds
The African Development Bank and other lending institutions have pledged $1.2 billion to improve the road and rail network in southern Africa, Associated Press reported Monday.
The funds will be used to build projects that can ease traffic bottlenecks along the so-called North-South Corridor that links eight nations — South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Botswana and Mozambique.
ADB will provide half of the funds over the next three years.
