Beskrivelse
Summary:This article is essentially a positive story of ports & free zones-led progress. Why are ports so critical? A well-organized port can make the difference between locally or, in the case of Djibouti, regionally produced products being viable for export, or priced out of the market1. A well-run facility builds self-reliance in the local executive management and economy, thus drawing new industry and investment, and promoting tourism. Furthermore, enhancements to port infrastructure frequently raise forces to shore up the weaker links in regional supply chains, such as below-standard roads and railways2.
