In short
- A World Bank regional vice president cited Ethiopia’s Mojo Dry Port as a practical model for reducing trade friction and supporting African economic integration.
A World Bank official has pointed to Ethiopia’s Mojo Dry Port as a practical example of infrastructure that can support regional economic integration by improving logistics and reducing barriers to trade.
Ndiamé Diop, the World Bank’s vice president for Eastern and Southern Africa, made the assessment in remarks reported on August 29, 2026. The comments linked investment in modern logistics facilities with broader efforts to lower trade friction across African markets.
Mojo Dry Port is part of Ethiopia’s land-based freight system. Its regional significance rests on whether upgraded logistics can move goods more efficiently between the landlocked country and neighboring transport corridors. The reported remarks did not provide new figures on cargo capacity, costs or project financing.
