The railway sector in Africa, facing recently different reforms, becomes progressively entirely controlled by private consortiums. Studying a panel of 16 sub-Saharan railways companies from between 1995 and 2005, we found private management had a positive effect on technical efficiency as measured by Data Envelopment Analysis. This approach also showed that public–private partnerships create several distortions in the sector, including the progressive abandonment of passenger transport.
