Abstract
The European Union (EU) is supporting Zambia’s Great North Road Upgrading (GNRU) project via its External Investment Plan (EIP). The project aims at fostering regional integration by expanding intra-Africa trade, strengthening growth, and reducing the time and cost of transport along the corridor.The simulation is conducted to assess the temporary employment impact of the implementation (construction) of the project as well as the permanent employment impacts generated by the expansion of transport sector capacity as the result of the GNRU project.
