The railways sector is not included in the current SSATP’s Second Development Plan. Considering the potentially significant role of railways in land transportation, trade facilitation, regional integration and development, the SSATP Annual Meeting 2010 in Kampala recommended that it is time to learn lessons from the recent experiences in SSA railways sector. Following this recommendation SSATP launched a study on railways performance in SSA, in order to prepare the frameworks for further decisions and implementing relevant policies by SSATP member countries.
