Report of the meeting on feeder links to the Trans-African Highway : Addis Ababa 12-15 September 1972

Abstract

The meeting on feeder links to the Transafrican Highway was held-at Addis Ababa from 12 to 04 September 1972.It was decided to carry out the Transafrican Highway project in two stages. In the first stager the study of the main highway from Mombasa to Lagos would be carried out through the agencies for co-operation which have already been established for the purpose (the Co-ordinating Committee and the TAH Bureau). Once the broad outlines.of the project had been decided upon, the second, stage would consist of having the countries concerned in the various sub-regions associated with the project so that it would be enlarged to form a true trans-African road network. It was stressed that the two stages should not be entirely separate and studies affecting them both might be undertaken concomitantly by the TAH Bureau.
