Sustainable Development Strategies For Sub-Sahara African Ports

Abstract

This study adopted literature review to evaluate sustainable development strategy that regulates the distributive flow of freight in an allocative manner across the road, rail and short sea shipping sector. It was revealed that a planned freight distributive strategy will ensure the sustainable development of the entire transport sector. Suggested sustainable development options for the sub-Saharan African port hinterland include the Pan African land bridge linking Mombasa in Kenya and Dakar in Senegal West Africa to be funded by the governments of West, Central and East Africa, the development of short sea shipping along the coastal waters among others.
