Morogoro.<\/p>\r\n<p>The government did not immediately say how it would pay for the cost of building the Morogoro-Makutupora line, but it previously announced that it was constructing the railway section from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro using its own funds.<\/p>\r\n<p>Speaking at a signing ceremony for the Morogoro-Makutopora rail deal, RAHCO\u2019s acting managing director, Masanja Kadogosa, said the line would be built within 36 months. \u2026 \u2026<\/p>\r\n<p>In total, the government expects to spend 14.2 billion U.S. dollars over the next five years to build a 2,561 kilometers

Published : January 15, 2018<\/p>\r\n<p>Rwanda and Tanzania have agreed on joint construction of a Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Isaka (northwestern Tanzania) to Kigali, a move which will facilitate movement of goods between the two countries.<\/p>\r\n<p>The agreement was reached following a meeting between President Paul Kagame and his Tanzanian counterpart John Pombe Magufuli, during the former\u2019s one-day working visit to Dar-es-Salaam, yesterday.<\/p>\r\n<p>President Magufuli said that they have instructed the Infrastructure ministers of the two countries to meet in the coming week to deliberate on an agreeable financing model.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p>The meeting between the ministers will, among other aspects, consider the financing models of the project before a tender announcement for the project is issued.<\/p>\r\n<p>Magufuli said that they expected to break ground for the project within this year.<\/p>\r\n<p>The railway line is expected to link Dar-es-Salaam and Kigali via Isaka, and expected to improve movement of goods into and out of the country considering that over 60 per cent of Rwanda\u2019s imports and exports go through Tanzania.<\/p>\r\n<p>Studies conducted by the East African Community (EAC) indicate that the Tanzanian railway route would cost Rwanda about US$800 to $900 million.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Standard Gauge Railway from the port of Mombasa via Uganda is expected to cost Rwanda close to US$1 billion, initial studies had shown.<\/p>\r\n<p>Rwanda has maintained that the country intends to implement both routes (via Tanzania and Kenya) to increase efficiency and reduce cost of transport of goods.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<h3>2018-01-02 Tanzania to buy 19 electric

Milliarden-Investitionen sind dringend n\u00f6tig. Doch wer bringt das Geld daf\u00fcr?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Von Philip Plickert<\/p>\r\n<p>D\u00dcSSELDORF, 19. November. Verfallene Eisenbahnstrecken, br\u00f6ckelnde Fernstra\u00dfen und verstopfte St\u00e4dte: Die Verkehrsinfrastruktur in Afrika ist in einem beklagenswert schlechten Zustand. Dies ist auch eines der wichtigsten Entwicklungshemmnisse f\u00fcr den Kontinent. Die Weltbank sch\u00e4tzt, dass die Produktivit\u00e4t in Afrika \u2013 also das Wohlstandsniveau \u2013 ohne Infrastrukturdefizite bis zu 40 Prozent h\u00f6her sein k\u00f6nnte. Hohe Transportkosten sind einer der Gr\u00fcnde f\u00fcr den nur schwachen innerafrikanischen Handel. Hinzu kommt die Energiekrise. Wegen h\u00e4ufiger Stromausf\u00e4lle in vielen L\u00e4ndern Afrikas verlieren Unternehmen jedes Jahr rund 5 Prozent ihrer Ums\u00e4tze.<br \/>Die Infrastruktur hat sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eher verschlechtert. Das zeigen die Zahlen zum Eisenbahn-Streckennetz. In den achtziger Jahren gab es 65000 Kilometer Eisenbahnen in Subsahara-Afrika, heute sind weniger als 60000 Kilometer Bahnlinien in Betrieb. Zum Vergleich: Das deutsche Eisenbahnnetz umfasst 43500 Kilometer.<\/p>\r\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\r\n<p>Der Ausbau der Eisenbahnen werde kommen, versprechen die Regierungen. In den 54 L\u00e4ndern des Kontinents w\u00fcrden derzeit 300 Eisenbahnprojekte geplant, allerdings seien die Projekte in sehr unterschiedlichen Stadien, sagt Kenneth Odero vom Namibian-German Center for Logistics. Laut Regierungsangaben liege das Investitionsvolumen bei mehr als 500 Milliarden Dollar, erkl\u00e4rt der Institutsleiter. \u201eWir reden hier \u00fcber einen riesigen Markt.\u201c Ob die Pl\u00e4ne aber verwirklicht werden, steht auf einem anderen Blatt. Eines der Haupthindernisse ist ein Mangel an Finanzierungen.<br \/>Im vergangenen Jahr, als der Rohstoffpreisverfall Afrikas Wirtschaftswachstum stark gebremst hatte, ging die Finanzierung f\u00fcr Infrastrukturprojekte laut Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) um 21 Prozent auf 62 Milliarden Dollar zur\u00fcck, davon 25 Milliarden Dollar f\u00fcr Verkehrsprojekte.<\/p>\r\n<p>(\u2026)<\/p>\r\n<p>Die Chinesen haben vor mehr als einem Jahrzehnt begonnen, den Kontinent systematisch als Investitionsfeld und Markt zu erobern. Sie kleckern nicht, sondern klotzen. Ber\u00fchmt-ber\u00fcchtigt sind sie f\u00fcr ihre gro\u00dfen Investitionen, f\u00fcr die sie gleich eine Finanzierung mit anbieten. Eine chinesische Staatsbank vergibt einen Kredit mit anfangs erstaunlich g\u00fcnstigen Konditionen, wenn afrikanische L\u00e4nder den Auftrag f\u00fcr eine neue Eisenbahn, Fernstra\u00dfe, einen Flughafen oder Hafen an ein chinesisches (Staats-)Unternehmen vergeben. Die Baufirmen bringen oft ihre eigenen Arbeiter mit, zu Tausenden sind Chinesen auf afrikanischen Baustellen t\u00e4tig. Die Kehrseite ist, dass sich afrikanische L\u00e4nder oft zu langfristigen Rohstofflieferungen verpflichten.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<h3>2017-05-12 Auf der Suche nach Geld f\u00fcr den Bahnbau.
