Match each African transport and trade corridor listed on the left with the landlocked state dependency and coastal port gateway it serves on the right.
- Dakar–Bamako Transport CorridorServes landlocked Mali by connecting its capital to the major Atlantic seaport in Senegal.
- Northern Logistics CorridorServes landlocked Uganda and Rwanda by linking them to the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa in Kenya.
- Nacala Transit CorridorServes landlocked Malawi by providing rail and road access to a deep-water port in northern Mozambique.
- Maputo Development CorridorServes landlocked Eswatini and South Africa's industrial interior via the Mozambican port of Maputo.
Answer
Dakar–Bamako Transport Corridor connects landlocked Mali to Dakar (Senegal); Northern Logistics Corridor connects landlocked Uganda and Rwanda to Mombasa (Kenya); Nacala Transit Corridor connects landlocked Malawi to Nacala (Mozambique); Maputo Development Corridor connects landlocked Eswatini and Gauteng to Maputo (Mozambique).
Each transport corridor in Africa serves distinct landlocked hinterlands: the Dakar–Bamako route links Mali to Senegal; the Northern Corridor links Uganda and Rwanda to Kenya's Mombasa port; the Nacala Corridor provides Malawi with access to Mozambique's deep-water port; and the Maputo Corridor connects Eswatini and South Africa to Maputo.
