A new One Stop Border Post (OSBP) between the United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia was officially inaugurated on 5 October by the Presidents of the two countries. The Tunduma – Nakonde OSBP handles traffic from the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam to Zambia and DR Congo (and vice versa).
One of the main benefits of an OSBP is the enhancement of operational efficiency of the border agencies of the two adjoining countries, which leads to faster clearing times because of the reduced waiting times at the border, in turn, lowering the costs of trading.
The governments of Tanzania and Zambia are implementing a comprehensive programme aimed at finalising the legal, operational and institutional arrangements required for the efficient operation of the OSBP.
In particular, the institutional structures that will oversee the establishment of the Nakonde/Tunduma OSBP will include:
