The Republic of Djibouti is a strategically located country in one of the busiest maritime routes in the world interconnecting Africa, Asia and Europe. Bolstered by its Vision 2035 program, Djibouti’s pace of development has accelerated manifold in the last five years as it positions itself to be one of the important trade hubs not only in Africa but in the entire world. There are many ongoing as well as forthcoming industrial and infrastructure projects in Djibouti focused on port development, rail & road networks, power generation and transmission. Besides contemporary development, Djibouti is also a natural wonder nestling unique natural ecosystems and biodiversity. In such a scenario, it becomes crucial for all stakeholders to take adequate care to maintain a fine balance between economic development and environmental and social wellbeing to ensure a sustainable future.
