The forum is geared toward an African audience, with the goal of accessibility to trade corridors and to enhancing cross border trade among African countries and connecting the continent through a rail system, that is reliable, efficient and safe.
Mr. Mulugeta will be covering a case study on the development of the standard gauge electrified railway network in Ethiopia and the innovative financing methods used for the projects. He has vast experience accomplishing different business development, monitoring and evaluation and programme management initiatives in transport and energy projects. Mr. Mulugeta has experience in HSE policy and strategy implementation in railway construction projects and operation; specifically in infrastructure asset management and planning, training and monitoring.
