The transportation infrastructure of Madagascar is set for improvement after the World Bank Group approved funding of 200 million US dollars. These funds are intended for the Madagascar Multimodal Transport and Logistics Project, which aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, and climate resilience of the country’s transport and logistics infrastructure, as stated by the corporate group.
Renovation of transport corridors
According to the World Bank Group, Madagascar’s transportation infrastructure plays a crucial role in the country’s economy. It supports not only domestic trade but also food supply, tourism, and exports. However, in recent years, repeated cyclones and years of underinvestment have made key transport routes vulnerable to disruptions. The new project from the World Bank Group will particularly focus on the renovation and strengthening of the Tananarive–Côte Est railway line. This 371-kilometer line connects the capital Antananarivo with the port of Toamasina.
In addition to renovating the railway line, the project will support the construction of a railway dry port and a logistics platform near Antananarivo. These measures aim to help reduce congestion at the port of Toamasina and optimize freight transport between the coast and the capital. Furthermore, the ports of Majunga in the northwest and Tulear in the southwest are set to be renovated. Additionally, the project will include safety, security, and climate protection improvements at regional airports.
