MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND ETIHAD RAIL ON PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA’S RAILWAY SYSTEM
The meeting centered on Ghana’s railway development under the national Railway Master Plan (updated 2020), exploring UAE collaboration opportunities via Etihad Rail.
The Ministry presented sector status, ongoing projects, financial metrics, and investment gaps, while the UAE side, including an Etihad Rail presentation, emphasized a data-driven approach to feasibility, bankability, and returns alignment. Both parties have committed to deeper technical/financial engagement for validation of the proposed project cost.
This engagement represents a strategic entry point for UAE participation in Ghana’s rail infrastructure development, particularly in structuring large-scale transport infrastructure under PPP and blended finance models, introducing global best practices in rail engineering, operations, and financing, supporting Ghana’s transition from narrow gauge to modern standard gauge systems, and unlocking mineral logistics corridors, critical for export-led growth.
