Ask the Author: East Africa Freight Transport: Enhancing Regional Connectivity

In this 30-minute online presentation and question-and-answer session, author Josephine Macharia presents the findings of the latest ITF report, "East Africa Freight Transport: Enhancing Regional Connectivity". Connecting goods and materials with people and markets is an essential driver of economic growth and prosperity. This project explores freight connectivity and infrastructure capacity up to 2050 in one of Africa’s fastest-growing regions: East Africa. The project highlights potential connectivity issues by evaluating the major regional projects underway and offers recommendations for hard and soft measures to improve freight connectivity. Home to over 400 million people, the East Africa region relies on strategic transport corridors for goods movement and regional integration. Since most of the countries in the project scope are landlocked, regional co-operation and trade harmonisation policies play a significant role in reducing the high cost of transport and improving competitiveness.
