The international transportation bottlenecks affecting Rwanda and Burundi
Venezian, Eduardo
Efficient and economic external transport is vital to the small landlocked countries of Rwanda and Burundi, both of which must import industrial products as well as a large proportion of their primary food requirements. However, their present transport planning capability is inadequate, particularly given the wide range of problems imposed by the transport corridors that link Rwanda and Burundi to the sea. An assessment of available external transport routes indicates: (i) a substantial number of improvements to the two existing routes could benefit both countries without major investments in infrastructure; (ii) a number of projects either recently begun or in an advanced state of preparation will markedly improve the situation; and (iii) railway improvements in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania will considerably benefit Rwanda and Burundi as well.
