  • 2.4 Benin Railway Assessment
    2.4 Benin Railway Assessment Benin railway network was constructed between 1900 and 1936. It’s structured around a single track, narrow gauge (1m) of 577 km in total and divided in three lines: 1. The Central line, from Cotonou to Parakou - 438km. 2. The West line, linked to the central line at Pahou (Pobè) - 32 km from Pahou to Segbohoue via Ouidah. 3. The East line, from Cotonou to Pobe via Porto-Novo, 107 km. For the moment, only the central line is being used and the last two lines have been put out of operation: Cotonou – Pobè and Cotonou – Sègbohoué. In November 2013, Benin and Niger signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a railway line linking Cotonou to Niamey, Niger. In addition to linking Parakou with Gaya, this project aimed to rehabilitate and modernize the Cotonou-Parakou railway line. The end of the work was originally scheduled for September 2015 but has been delayed. The governments of Benin and Niger decided to launch the project AFRICARAIL together with Togo and Burkina Faso. The objective of the project is for the first phase to build 1,300 km of rails to connect to the partner countries. For further information on contact details for railway companies please see the following links: 4.1 Benin Government Contact List 4.9 Benin Railway Companies Contact List Travel Time Matrix Travel Time from Capital City to Major Towns (Hours) Cotonou Abomey Parakou Cotonou - 2h 9h Abomey 2h - 7h Parakou 9h 7h - Railway Companies and Consortia The former joint organization Benin Niger Railways and Transport Organisation (OCBN) was privatised in 2014 to become Benin Rail.

  • Summary Report
    Bénin - Burkina Faso - Niger - Togo Government of Togo Grand-Duché de Luxembourg UNIDROIT/Africarail Colloquium The Cape Town Convention and its Rail Protocol A new driving force for rail investments in Africa Lomé, 17 November 2006 - Summary Report - Background The Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment was adopted in Cape Town, South Africa on 16 November 2001. The Convention aims primarily at facilitating the financing of mobile equipment operated in the territories of more than one State by means of international rules for the creation, registration and enforcement of “international interests” held in such equipment. The same day, a first protocol dealing with aircraft equipment was adopted alongside the Convention under the joint auspices of the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (I.C.A.O.). Its implementation has already revealed its economic impact, some companies actually finding that ratification of the Aircraft Protocol constitutes the key to access to new civil aircraft, essential equipment for the development and consolidation of their markets. A new sectoral protocol dealing with railway rolling stock will be submitted for adoption by States at a Diplomatic Conference to be held in Luxembourg from 12 to 23 February 2007. In the run-up to these negotiations, and in follow-up to two other such regional symposia held in Europe (Warsaw, Poland) and Latin America (Mexico), respectively, Africarail and UNIDROIT took the opportunity, on the occasion of the Convention’s fifth anniversary Convention, to invite actors involved in railway infrastructure projects in Africa to a meeting intended to illustrate the economic benefits that would accrue both to States and investors from the application of the future Rail Protocol.

  • “International Transport Corridors in the OIC Member Countries”
    A STUDY OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT CORRIDORS IN OIC MEMBER COUNTRIES Prepared by September 2011 This publication was commissioned and funded by the Islamic Development Bank. PGlobal Global Advisory and Training Services This report has been prepared by “PGlobal Global Advisory and Training Services” upon the request of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) in 2011. Please see the “Disclaimer” section for further explanation. Preface Pre face The Study on Transport Corridors in OIC Member Countries is an assessment of the role and importance of transport corridors (TC) in contributing to economic growth and cooperation, trade and regional integration with a view to identify a policy framework among the 57 OIC member countries. It has conducted in order to present and to discuss prioritization of transport corridors passing through in OIC Member Countries in an international workshop in Izmir, attended by delegates from 21 OIC member countries and 11 international institutions. This exercise aims to identify priority TC and challenges together with policy formulation. In a more globalized and integrated world, TCs are commanding attention and gaining importance, particularly in developing economies and emerging markets, because of their role in economic development and trade facilitation. The report begin with examining potential trade movement among the countries by identifying the comparative advantage of each country adjacent to the relevant TCs, as well as the existing trade flow patterns and utilization level of those corridors. The report, therefore, aims to heavily underscore the need for efficient international TCs among the OIC member countries, as well as propose a set of priority TCs that deserve attention and inclusion in the political and development agenda of member countries and international organizations.

A l'issue de l'audience qui s'est tenue devant la Cour le 17 octobre dernier, Monsieur le Juge Cançado Trindade a posé aux Parties les questions suivantes : « Premièrement, les Parties pourraient-elles indiquer sur une carte les zones fréquentées par les populations nomades à l'époque de l'accession à l'indépendance et aujourd'hui, et préciser dans quelle mesure le tracé de la frontière aura une incidence pom ces populations ? Deuxièmement, dans quel rayon autour de la frontière séparant les deux Etats ces populations évoluent-elles (merci d'indiquer sur une carte, si possible, quelles sont exactement les portions de la frontière concernées)? Troisièmement, quels sont les villages susceptibles d'être affectés par le tracé de la frontière que les Patties revendiquent ? ». Le Burkina Faso y répond ci-dessous. 1) Le Burkina pourrait-il indiquer sur une carte les zones fréquentées par les populations nomades à l'époque de l'accession à l'indépendance 2.
