Anura Partners Joins the Rail Working Group to Deepen Engagement in Africa’s Rail Future
We’re pleased to announce that Anura Partners is now an official member of the Rail Working Group, supporting the implementation of the Luxembourg Rail Protocol to the Cape Town Convention.
Our membership reflects Anura’s growing involvement in infrastructure, mobility, and asset-backed innovation across emerging markets. As we continue to support ventures that drive long-term development and resilience, the rail sector presents a powerful opportunity for sustainable growth and regional connectivity — especially across the African continent.
Through our participation in the Rail Working Group, we aim to:
- Contribute to global dialogue on railway financing and legal harmonization
- Champion the interests of emerging markets in shaping modern rail ecosystems
- Support initiatives that enhance cross-border investment, transparency, and operational efficiency
Our recent report, ” Tracks to Prosperity: Realising the vision of the South Africa-Botswana railway corridor”, draws on case studies from across the continent, numerous experts across the ecosystem, and our own research and analysis, to explore what it would take to make this corridor a reality. In addition, it outlines key levers for transforming corridors into globally competitive economic arteries.
We believe the Rail Working Group offers a powerful platform to amplify these insights and support the creation of more bankable, harmonised, and future-ready rail systems.
As strategy consultants focused on building long-term value across Africa, our membership represents a natural extension of our deepening work in railway corridor development across the continent. From freight and logistics strategy to governance frameworks and infrastructure planning, we’ve been at the forefront of efforts to unlock the potential of rail networks as engines of regional integration, trade, and climate-smart growth.
We look forward to collaborating with fellow members, sharing insights, and advancing the mission of building a more connected future — track by track.
