News site Al Monitor reported earlier this year that the Cairo-Cape Town Road is being co-funded by the African Development Bank, in cooperation with the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the African Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will complete the Cairo-Cape Town Road that will cross through nine African countries as part of Egypt\u2019s efforts to connect with neighboring countries,\u201d Egypt\u2019s Transport Minister Kamel el-Wazir said in January this year.<\/p>\n

Malawi\u2019s President Lazarus Chakwera is an advocate of the pan-African highway even through the road will not cross through Malawi. Speaking in Zambia at the funeral of Former Zambia President Kenneth Kaunda earlier this month, Chakwera spoke about the need for current African leaders to construct the pan-African highway.
