African Integrated High Speed Railway Network (AIHSRN): Connecting Africa Through Agenda 2063

In 2013, the African Union heads of state and governments pledged the development of a Continental Agenda to the Year 2063: Agenda 2063... Developing African infrastructure will play a vital role in Agenda 2063 by stimulating physical consolidation, as well as social and economic development in African countries... Agenda 2063 encompasses 12 flagship projects, including the African Integrated High-Speed Railway Network... Using the latest in railway technology, the integrated Network is expected to be a key driver for inclusivity, and sustainable economic development of the continent, connecting landlocked countries and regions to ports, African capitals, special economic zones and industrial hubs.
