On Monday, October 19, 2026, in Abidjan, a meeting between the IFF and SITARAIL (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Internationale de Transport Africain par Rail) provided an opportunity for fruitful and constructive discussions with the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agenda included a tour of the facilities and several working sessions focused on developing railway skills and identifying new avenues for cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several priority areas were identified: welder certification, rolling stock maintenance, mentoring future leaders, training train conductors, and providing support to the \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure des M\u00e9tiers Ferroviaires (ESMF) in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to the SITARAIL teams for their warm welcome and the quality of the discussions, both in the meeting rooms and in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
