Project description: 

The Global objective is to create a positive environment and dynamic concession that would enable Malawi railways to perform up to its potential.

The experts supported the Government of Malawi in the finalisation of negotiations with a Brazilian mining concessionaire on the construction of a new rail link from the Moatize coal fields to the existing Nacala rail corridor. In addition negotiations with a regional rail company were prepared for the operation of the Malawi rail network in parallel to the mining traffic. Considerations also covered Zambia and Mozambique

Service description:

  • Support of concession agreement negotiations;

  • Elaboration of draft, revised and final concession agreements;

  • Development of a financial model to assess the concessions’ viability; and

  • Advisory to GoM officials on all aspects related to the concessions.

Result: 

The outputs are a refined concession agreement with the Brazilian mining company, a financial model and a negotiation strategy for the negotiations with the regional railway company and full supporting documentation. Support to the Malawi Government team during negotiations was provided.
