Corridor Trade Sustainability & Investment Promotion Organisation
COTSIO focuses on trade and investment corridors that connect ports, production hubs and markets across regions. We work with partner countries along these corridors to design and implement practical programmes.
Our country engagement is anchored in local institutions, while keeping a strong regional and corridor perspective – recognising that goods, services and investment do not stop at borders.
Somalia plays a crucial role in Horn of Africa trade routes, linking ports and border markets. COTSIO supports improvements in logistics, cross-border trade, fisheries value chains and MSME competitiveness.
As a strategic gateway through Berbera Port, Somaliland connects regional markets. COTSIO supports investment promotion, border efficiency and development of key value chains.
Ethiopia is a major economic hub in the Horn of Africa, linked to multiple trade corridors. COTSIO supports manufacturing, services, investment climate, and regional value chains.
Djibouti is a key maritime gateway serving the Horn of Africa. COTSIO supports logistics upgrades, port-linked value chains and regional transport systems.
Work with us
Governments, development partners, investors and business associations can approach COTSIO to explore how our corridor model can be applied in their context – from initial diagnostics to full programmes.
