Railroads in Côte d’Ivoire: Strategy for Railroad Transport
Unfortunately, most of railroads are very old and do not follow international standards. For this reason, the government decided to intervene in the railroad sector.
Today, there are the railways that connect Abidjan to Burkina Faso and other railways that connect Abidjan to Kaya. A new railroad is being discussed that would connect Abidjan to Niamey as well as a line that would begin at San Pédro and end at the Malian border, more specifically, Sikasso.
Unfortunately, most of these railroads are very old and do not follow international standards. For this reason, the government decided to intervene in the railroad sector. Yet wise investments should be made to maintain the current railroads rather than huge investments.
