RAILWAY PROJECT IN EAST AFRICA

China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) was established in 1979 under the approval of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. In 2003, the company underwent strategic reorganization and was merged into China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), listed among the world’s top 100 international contractors for 19 consecutive years by the Engineering News Record.

Ever since the 1960s when CCECC contracted the largest foreign aid project--Tanzania-Zambia Railway, CCECC has established subsidiaries, branch offices or project management headquarters in 105 countries and regions, spreading across Asia, Europe, Africa, America and Oceania. Among the more than 12,000km of international railroads built by Chinese enterprises so far, more than 8,000km has been constructed by CCECC and becomes well-known in the industry as the pioneer for the “going global” of Chinese railways.
