The African Cooperation within Egypt-Sudan using Multimodal Transportation: Systematic Review Paper

Abstract

Purpose: Investigating the advancements and implementation facilities required in Egypt and Sudan in terms of Multimodal transport to maximize Egypt's economic gains within the footprints of the agreements between the two nations and African cooperatives. To strike a balance between social, economic, and environmental concerns, the Egyptian government prioritizes transportation projects as part of its ambitious objective of providing and integrating varied transportation networks and technologies.
 Methodology: Conducting a comprehensive, systematic literature review of 55 published studies in order to compile the most significant published papers matching the research keywords, supporting the theoretical contributions of the research and the previous researchers' recommendations for the subsequent studies, by assessing primary data collected through semi-structured interviews with Egyptian and African transport authority officials.
 Results: It has been shown that too few research studies have used the river connection to disrupt commerce flow in order to examine multimodal transportation. There has also been no further inquiry into the border terminals and route networks between Egypt and Sudan that might help in the enhancement of the countries' import and export operations, notably the upgrading and modernization of ports in Nile Basin countries, despite the fact that increased activities, services, and hubs might help both countries' transportation networks, seaports and logistics networks surrounded by Africa.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practices: The research provides an original contribution to the literature by identifying the impact of cooperation in terms of transport sector by improving inter-modality services and logistics services between the two countries. A network of highways linking Egypt and Sudan will gain better benefits using data from real investigations and theoretical models established by the researcher, but it will need considerable exploration and actuality.
