Transportation development in Sub-Saharan Africa - Modern EU Master Programme & Capacity Building

Modern transport systems, including road, rail, water and air transport, are one of the key elements allowing for the development of a country, an increase in the wealth of society, equal opportunities in improving the quality of life for the inhabitants of countries and regions. Europe is one of the leaders of change in this field, particularly with the current trend towards switching to so-called green transport. Unfortunately, unlike EU countries, African countries do not have a developed transport system, especially road transport. Transport Systems programs at all management levels have been implemented in EU countries for many years. The experience gained will allow the development of study programs that best meet the needs of local partners. In order to address the above-described problems, the project aims to develop new curriculum of Master's program. The project not only aims to develop a new study program for graduate students, but also will design a number of training courses for Transport specialists in DR Congo, and Cameroon to present how to work effectively and efficiently.
