Satisfactory results obtained during the first TRANSLEQ 2004 edition the short time for the preparation, as well as the encouragements and recommendations from participants prove that that there is still the need to carry on this participatory action to development in the field of Transport in this Southern part of Africa.

n fact, taking into account the importance of transports in the economies of the African countries in particular, of their strategic interface and the need to upgrade and adapt them, it is necessary and justified to continue maintaining the promotion of this sector at all geographic levels, namely: continental, regional and sub-regional.

The organization of this important event in Dakar, the gateway to West Africa, gives enormous opportunities by enabling easy access for other neighboring countries (Mali, Mauritania, The Gambia, Bissau Guinea, Guinea Conakry).

  • to be a framework for professional meetings and setting up of partnership relations.

    • acquire better equipment in order to better meet the huge needs of African countries as regards transport;
    • help decentralise the African regions by facilitating access to products and equipment;
    • contribute more effectively to the economical and social development of Africa: by reducing the transport costs, supporting the competitiveness of the African export products and by amplifying the creation of economic activities.
