Cooperation in Africa's railway transport sector

Abstract

This report sets out to examine the present nature of cooperation between railway networks in Africa, assess its scope and extent, highlight the infrastructural, structural and institutional obstacles affecting it and identify new avenues for strengthening and expanding cooperation. To that end, and with the object of coming up with concrete proposals based on the study, the Economic Commission for Africa has opted for a methodology centered on associating managers of railway transport systems in the search for ways and means of strengthening and expanding cooperation where it exists, and of establishing it where it is absent.
