Project description
Project scope

The railway services in the east African region are inefficient and unreliable. At present, more 90% of the freight handled at the sea port of Mombasa is transported by road.

The aim of the project is to optimise transportation within the east African region by implementing a harmonised railway system to the standard Gauge. The Kampala- Kigali railway encompasses two lots.

    • Lot 1 is Kampala – Mirama Hills with spurs to Kasese/Mpondwe and Muko with an estimated length of 904 km
    • Lot 2 is Mirama Hill- Kigali, with an estimated length of 200km

Activities under this project included the following;

  • Traffic and Market study 
  • Preliminary Engineering Designs 
  • Environmental and Social Impact Study
  • Economic and Financial analysis
  • Legal, institutional and regulatory analysis
  • Geological and Geotechnical analysis
  • Investments study
  • Feasibility studies of PPPs
  • Final Reports
