….Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan explore technical and financial viability to enhance regional trade and connectivity
NAIROBI-(MaraviPost)-Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan have launched a nine-week feasibility study to evaluate the potential extension of the Naivasha–Kisumu–Malaba railway line.
The study aims to assess both the technical and financial viability of the proposed railway expansion.
Officials say the findings will guide plans to link the line to the Malaba border and ultimately extend it into South Sudan.
The project is expected to significantly boost regional connectivity, facilitating smoother trade across East Africa.
By connecting key commercial hubs, the railway extension could reduce transport costs and improve the efficiency of cross-border logistics.
The study involves consultations with engineers, financial experts, and regional stakeholders to ensure the project meets international standards and economic feasibility.
If successfully implemented, the railway line would strengthen economic integration among the three countries and promote sustainable regional development.
The governments involved have emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving a project that benefits communities, businesses, and the broader East African economy.
