Background continued 7 C) History of Railway in Ethiopia and Djibouti  Railway service began before 100 yrs (1915)  The Legacy Railway is 1,000 mm gauge with diesel traction  It is owned and administered by the governments of Djibouti and Ethiopia (Bi-lateral ownership and operation)  It stretches from Addis Ababa – Djibouti (about 780 km: 680 in Ethiopia and 100 in Djibouti

Background continued 8  One Meter gauges were very popular in East African Countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania )  In all of these countries, all suffer from old-age, lack of spares, technology obsolescence  High operating cost, worn out track, too old Locomotives, low capacity ( Ton/Axle)  Intermittent service only in few one segment (Dire Dawa to Port of Djibouti – 459 km)  A legacy system and historical tie of sisterly countries

Ethiopian National Railway Network 9

Background continued 10 G) Railway Development Approach  Two Phases of development 1 st Phase/GTP (2010/ /15) about 2,395 km 2 nd Phase (2015/16 – 2020/21) about 2,665 km  Deploy multiple Lots in parallel  National Railway Network Characteristics Standard Gauge (1,435 mm) Electric Traction High Capacity ( Ton/axle) Moderate Speed ( km/hr for passenger and 120 km/hr for freight) Concrete Sleeper (160cm x20.5cmx22cm)

11 Development of A.A – Djibouti continued

12 b) Consultation: Bilateral (with Republic of Djibouti)  Signed MoU on June 10, 2010 “The Development and Operation of Standard Gauge Railway Line between Ethiopia and Djibouti”  Follow-up meetings and work visits by Ministers  Establishment of technical working group  Technical experts experience sharing  Submission of draft Bilateral agreement on “The Development and Operation of a Standard Gauge Railway Network” by FDRE to the RoD Development of A.A – Djibouti continued

13 c) Consultation with EPC/Turnkey Contractors  Construction contract for Addis Ababa – Mieso Signed on October 25, 2011  Construction contract for Mieso – Dawanle (border of Ethiopia with Djibouti) signed December 16,  Construction Contract Project from Ethiopian border to the Port of Djibouti has signed Development of A.A – Djibouti continued
