Rwanda’s hilly topography increases infrastructure costs

Rwanda’s mountainous terrain and lack of access to the sea puts the country at a great challenge of high infrastructure costs, according to the African Development Bank (ADB) official. Alex Rugamba, Coordinator of Infrastructure Consortium for Africa at ADB told Business Times in an Interview that Rwanda could however lower theses costs through the planned Isaaka-Kigali railway line because long distance cargo is much cheaper with railway corridors.
