AB  - Many  mega­projects  are  underway  within  development  corridors  in  Africa, 
focused  on  mineral  and  oil  extraction,  along  with  auxiliary  infrastructure 
developments;  including  Kenya’s  Standard  Gauge  Railway  project,  the  largest 
post­independence project.
2. East African savannah ecosystems and local livelihoods are highly vulnerable to 
habitat fragmentation from linear infrastructure, especially due to the importance 
of mobility for both migratory wildlife and livestock.
3. Independent  EIAs  and  free,  prior  and  informed  consent  (FPIC)  from  local 
communities is necessary to reduce social and environmental impacts. 
4. New  linear  infrastructure  should  be  located  where  costs  are  smaller,  in  highly 
settled  areas  with  high  agricultural  potential,  and  built  with  mitigating 
infrastructure to avoid ecosystem fragmentation.
