| Summary: | This review is designed to assist the
development community and policy makers in other countries
who may be contemplating railway privatization. The report
is principally concerned with the results of privatization
rather than the processes or detailed concession structures,
which have varied from country to country depending on
diverse local circumstances. This report is concerned with
the results of the African concessions. The report contains
three main sections: (i) A summary of the background to
railway development in sub-Saharan Africa to the start of
the 1990's, together with a list of the railway
privatizations and concessions undertaken over the last 10
years and a brief description of the main concessionaires;
(ii) A more detailed presentation of the thirteen
concessions, particularly the three which have been
operating the longest ; (iii) An assessment of the overall
results of railway privatization/concessioning. |
