Abstract

In 2022 European Union has released a new policy to foster trade and transport connections globally, including a specific focus on Africa, by selecting 11 priority transport corridors and a revision of external funding and financing sources. It was also quite clear from the statements that this policy aims at fostering European trade and position in Africa and elsewhere to balance the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and other external influences. Given the current economic and geopolitical situations, this strategy is becoming relevant in achieving transport connections also in order to foster the project of Africa trade union and get access to essential mineral resources that are necessary to mitigate climate change and achieve carbon emission reduction targets. The paper aims at providing an analysis of this policy in regards especially of the transport corridors strategy, inherited from the PIDA strategy, and to confront it with BRI initiative on transport corridors in Africa with a specific focus on railway corridors.
