1 Guinea Country Profile
Generic Information:
Guinea (pronunciation: ɡɪni), officially the Republic of Guinea (French: République de Guinée), is a country in West Africa. Formerly known as French Guinea (French: Guinée française), the modern country is sometimes referred to as Guinea-Conakry in order to distinguish it from other parts of the wider region of the same name, such as Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea. Guinea has a population of 10.5 million and an area of 245,860 square kilometres (94,927 mi2).
Guinea is a republic. The president is directly elected by the people and is head of state and head of government. The unicameral Guinean National Assembly is the legislative body of the country, and its members are also directly elected by the people. The judicial branch is led by the Guinea Supreme Court, the highest and final court of appeal in the country.
Guinea is a predominantly Islamic country, with Muslims representing 85 percent of the population. Guinea's people belong to twenty-four ethnic groups. French, the official language of Guinea, is the main language of communication in schools, in government administration, in the media, and among the country's security forces, but more than twenty-four indigenous languages are also spoken.
Guinea's economy is largely dependent on agriculture and mineral production. It is the world's second largest producer of bauxite, and has rich deposits of diamonds and gold.

1.1 Guinea Humanitarian Background
Disasters, Conflicts and Migration |
||
---|---|---|
Natural Disasters |
Yes / No |
Comments / Details |
Drought |
Yes | The most severe drought took place in 2001. Deforestation, desertification, soil contamination and erosion, overpopulation in forest regions and poor mining practices have led to environmental damage. |
Earthquakes |
Yes | Tremors could occur. An earthquake in 1983 hit Conakry, Boffa and Forécariah leaving 300 victims and thousands injured and homeless. |
Epidemics |
Yes | Ebola outbreak in 2014/2015, Malaria, severe Cholera outbreaks, Measles, HIV/AIDS, Neglected Tropical Diseases, Yellow fever, Tuberculosis and Meningitis |
Extreme Temperatures |
Yes | In the northern parts of the country in Boke region during the dry season temperature can go above 40° Celsius. |
Flooding |
Yes | Floods during the rainy season from July to October, especially in Guinea Forest, and along the Ivory Coast, Liberian and Sierra Leone borders. In Low Guinea, rivers are flooded and thus road traffic is often blocked. Prefectures of particular concern are: Boké, Dabola, Kankan, Mandiana. Immediate problems after floods include access to aforementioned areas of concern, as well as loss of harvests and food stocks. |
Insect Infestation |
Yes | There might in some years be migratory locusts in the Northern East area. |
Mudslides |
Yes | Due to the heavy rain in the rainy season and the topography of the land and soil in addition to the abusive deforestation. |
Volcanic Eruptions |
No | There are no known active volcanoes in Guinea, only an extinct one which formed the three islands just facing Conakry. |
High Waves / Surges |
Yes | Guinea has a 320 km of coastline; therefore the country is exposed to an eventual tsunami or floods caused by high waves in case a major earthquake happens in the Atlantic Ocean. |
Wildfires |
Yes | Occur during the dry season. The main issue is the lack of will in the local population to fight these incidents. |
High Winds |
Yes | The Harmattan is a cold-dry and dusty trade wind, blowing over the West African region. This north-easterly wind blows from the Sahara Desert into the Gulf of Guinea between the end of November and the middle of March. |
Other Comments |
Guinea was the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in 2014 which heavily affected the country. |
|
Man-Made Issues |
||
Civil Strife |
Yes | The presidential elections will take place in 11th October 2015 which might lead to protests and manifestations. |
International Conflict |
Yes | Guinea is exposed to international conflicts such as in Ivory coast or south Sénégal. The civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone also affected the country. |
Internally Displaced Persons |
Yes | N/A |
Refugees Present |
Yes | 5,500 Refugees from Ivory Coast are present in the region of N’zérékoré |
Landmines / UXO Present |
No | N/A |
Other Comments |
Food insecurity during the lean season (June – August), water contamination due to households without potable water, malnutrition in the eastern regions. |

Calamities and Seasonal Effects
Seasonal Effects on Transport |
||
---|---|---|
Transport |
Comments |
From (month) to (month) |
Primary Road Transport |
The primary roads are in good condition as they are paved and there is continuous rehabilitation work on them. However, in some parts they can be affected during the rainy season especially between Kissidougou and Guékedou and between Guékedou and Macenta. |
June - November |
Secondary Road Transport |
The secondary roads are generally dirt roads which deteriorate very quickly in the rainy season making them impracticable. |
May - November |
Rail Transport |
The rail transport isexclusively for some mining companies. The Conakry Express of 40 Km long is used to transport passengers only twice a day. |
|
Air Transport |
The heavy rain and storms in the rainy season might cause some delays and the Harmattan dust storms during the dry season might reduce the visibility and cause delays. |
January - December |
Waterway Transport |
The port of Conakry suffers from congestion especially during the rainy season. |
June - September |
There are a significant number of transporters in the Conakry therefore there is no lack of trucks. The harvest season has little impact on the availability of trucks as the farmers and merchants use the cheapest trucks owned by individuals or small companies. Also, the type of trucks suitable for their transport are mainly of 20 mt or less due to the bad roads. The secondary and tertiary roads are in bad condition and it is difficult for heavy trucks (more than 20 mt) to use them during the rainy season. The Port of Conakry faces delays and congestion from 15 June up to 15 September due to the rainy season.
Seasonal Effects on Storage and Handling (economic, social, climate…) |
||
---|---|---|
Activity |
Comments |
From <month> to <month> |
Storage |
In general, there is limited storage capacity in the country. |
January to December |
Handling |
Due to the high rate of unemployment, daily workers are available around the year. |
Due to the limited capacity in storage and the difficult transportation during the rainy season, it is highly recommended to pre-position humanitarian assistance (Food, NFI and other) closer to the beneficiaries before the rainy season.
Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
SENAH “Service National de l’Action Humanitaire,” (National Service for Humanitarian Action), is responsible for the management and prevention of national catastrophes, and liaises with different actors (local and national authorities, NGOs, etc.) in the case of emergency. SENAH has no financial or logistics capacity that can be effectively used. SENAH’s activities are not very visible but they may act as government part in case of serious emergency in collaboration with the UN team. They participate in cluster meetings and contribute to contingency planning elaboration. SENAH is the governmental interface to emergencies with decentralized structures at level of sub regions where focal points are based. BRICS, part of SENAH, is in N’zerekoré and interested in the issues of refugees.
In 2014, Guinea was the epicentre of the Ebola Virus Disease outbreak in West Africa with the first detected cases in March of that year in the Guinea Forest region in the south east of the country. A national health emergency was declared on 13 August 2014 and a Presidential Decree established the National Coordination Committee for Monitoring and Control of the Ebola Epidemic, under the chairmanship of Dr. Sakoba Keita and the vice chairmanship of Dr. Sekou Conde. This committee was empowered to organize all necessary measures for the epidemiological monitoring of citizens visiting Guinea, informing the public about protective measures, and training staff on the use of disease surveillance and protection. The MoH had also activated the national and district emergency management committees to coordinate the response.
For information on Guinea Government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Guinea Government Contact List
Humanitarian Community
The mechanism of emergency preparedness is functional in Guinea and more enhanced in the forest Guinea (Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone) border zone. Heads of United Nations agencies, NGOs representatives of and Government representatives participate at different levels in emergency preparedness. The SMT and UNCT are heads of UN agency meetings, involved in security questions and operational issues and ahead by the Resident Coordinator. COPIA coordinates emergency operations and brings together heads or deputy heads of UN agencies, NGOs and Government. Cluster leads are nominated by agencies according to their mandate. Different clusters are represented in the forest Guinea in sectorial meeting. UN agencies send out joint funding appeals for emergencies. A call for funds of the CAPE is ongoing involving UNHCR and WFP. CERF funds are also requested from time to time depending on the type of emergency. During the Ebola response, the number of UN agencies and NGOs in the country increased greatly. WFP provided to humanitarian community with logistics services in storage, transportation and the construction of Ebola Treatment Units across the country.

Donations to refugees are free of taxes. NGOs pay only the RTL 2% and the TVA 18% on their importation. The diplomatic mission and similar organisations are exempted from duties. The donations and importation of UN agencies are not subject to the pre-shipment inspection.
Organizational Requirements to obtain Duty Free Status |
---|
United Nations Agencies |
United Nation Agencies have to request a customs duty free. The request must consist of a letter: “Demande d’Exonération Diplomatique” or FDI, and the following documents:
The aforementioned documents with the original letter request (+ 3 copies) are then given to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guinea. One copy is given to the clearing Agent. Usually the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds within 2 weeks, with a signature of acceptance for the UN request. The minister is the only authority authorised to sign the document. The signed letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is given to the clearing Agent, who issues a FDI form and submits it together with the Exoneration to customs to obtain a customs waiver. |
Non Governmental Organizations |
NGOs have to present following documents for their imports:
NGOs must also have a gift certificate (donation certificate) which proves to local authorities that goods are not for resale, and are a donation to be used for humanitarian purposes. |
Exemption Certificate Application Procedure
Duties and Taxes Exemption Application Procedure |
---|
Generalities (include a list of necessary documentation) |
UN Agencies: The UN Agency concerned has to write a letter requesting a duty and taxes waiver to the national customs office of Conakry. The Agency must also include all of the above mentioned documents and the signed letter of “demande d’exonération diplomatique” (FDI); without the reply from the national customs office, it’s impossible to sort out the container from the Conakry port. NGOs: When NGOs begin activity in the country, the best for the organisation is to get a sort of “Memorandum of Understanding”, called “Convention d’Etablissement” signed by Ministry of Interior & Security. This Ministry sends a signed protocol to the Ministry on which the NGO “depends”, (for example NGOs working with health issues will discuss with the Ministry of Health). This procedure facilitates a lot of the future importations. Then, NGOs have to write a letter requesting a duty and taxes waiver to the national customs office of Conakry, but through the Ministry of the concerned activity (usually health, agriculture or education) with the set of documents attached If the NGO obtain a duty waiver the organisation should have to pay: Redevance Traitement des Liquidations = RTL: 2% on CIF value of the goods concerned. CIF Value (GNF) + RTL (in GNF) = Base of calculation of VAT, if goods concerned are subjected to VAT application (See above). |

At the end of the process, a Clean Report of Findings (AV) is issued when the final conclusion of the assessment is satisfactory. The AV is provided to the Importer in Guinea for Customs clearance. When the goods are also subject to the PSI program of Guinea, the AV will also include the results of both programs. In case of non-compliance, a Non conformity Report (ARA) is issued in place of the AV. |

Transit Regime
Transit from Guinea to neighbouring countries is possible for both local purchase and for goods received in Conakry port. No transport bond, bonded warehouses situation. UN organisations or NGOs have to make sure the proper documents are signed by local customs services and the copy of customs clearance is attached for all imports received through Conakry port. Therefore, the organisation at the receiving country has to make sure that the customs clearance is also made at the first entry point of the country.
The following documents are requested in order to establish a transit cargo:
- To note that the payment of a guarantee of taxes is THE condition to be fulfilled by a clearing agent authorized to clear in this office.
- A detailed declaration will be needed with a transit request and an invoice, a Waybill, Grey Card for the vehicle and EMAGUI identification visa for the transit to Bamako.
The following requirements must be met at the international transit office:
- Address a letter (or request) for transit to the National Director of Customs
- Establish the statement by a clearing agent authorized by the Customs.
- The word "transit" shall appear on the manifest for all goods to be admitted under this customs procedure.
- The fuel must not be declared in transit
2 Guinea Logistics Infrastructure
The development of the infrastructure is clearly defined as a national priority in the government strategy documents.
A number of major projects have been executed or are underway, especially the hydro electrical dam of Kaléta, the acquisition of Electric production capacity of 100 megawatts, the rehabilitation and the extension of the electric network in Conakry, the asphalting of urban roads in Conakry and the cities in the country and the enlargement of the Autonomic Port of Conakry. However, it is important to underline the weakness of the human and financial capacities for an efficient execution of these projects and the monitoring and evaluation of the quality. The advanced degradation of transport infrastructure and energy production and the absence of massive investment in these areas for several years make insufficient the significant efforts since 2012. However, setting Kaleta dam service on June 2015 had significantly improved electricity service conditions in Lower Guinea /Conakry and is encouraging the development of economic activity. The total production capacity of Kaleta dam has not been totally exploited (around 10 MW produced from 240 MW available) due mainly to the poor condition of the electricity network in the country.
Regulatory frameworks in the field of infrastructures exist, but the application of certain texts encounters difficulties. It requires an update by the government to address new challenges, particularly in the mining sector investment. The transport and logistics sector should benefit from these investments. When new players, such as mining companies, are involved in the realization of transport infrastructure, the question of coordination of stakeholders reveals a particular interest. The public finance reform program initiated in 2011 is beginning to show results in terms of improved governance and transparency in the management of public funds, including for infrastructure. But weaknesses persist for public procurement: the new code has only been applied since September 2014. The market control is entrusted to the administration and control of large projects (CPGA). Furthermore, the new Organic Law on Finance Laws (LORLF), adopted in August 2013, establishes multiannual loans to public investment projects, as well as institutionalization of the concept of payment and commitment appropriations.
The transport sector in the Republic of Guinea is mainly dominated by road transport; about 95 % of the movement of people and goods are carried by road. In 1985 the industry experienced the first actions of privatization especially in the maritime sub-sector where all maritime auxiliary services (transit, stevedoring, handling etc.) have been privatized. Gradually the other sub-sectors were also privatized: urban and interurban road transport and air transport.
Projects executed or underway are:
- Arranging the highway from Conakry to km 36 into 2x2 lanes and from that point to be reconnected to the different national roads.
- Arranging the road Enta – Sonfonia into 2x1 lane for 2.6 km and the south cross section for 2 km.
- Asphalting different roads in some cities and towns which are: Faranah, Kissidougou, Dabola, Kouroussa, Siguiri, Mandiana, Kérouané and Dinguiraye for a total of 52 km of roads.
- The African Bank for Development is financing a project of road interconnectivity between Ivory Coast and Guinea. US $50 million will be used to pave ta section of Lola motorway. Lola is a town in Guinea situated in the border zone between Guinea and Ivory Coast. In addition the project will rehabilitate 300 km of roads between three countries of the Mano River Union.
- Louis Berger recently launched a project of supervision of construction work of €1.3 million (US $1.4 million) for the repairing of a section of 151 kilometres of the National road (RN1) connecting Dabola to Kouroussa in the center of Guinea.
- The construction of the national road RN2. Sogea-Satom realizes the rehabilitation of the RN2 a distance of 53 km between Kissidougou and Guéckédou, as well as the reconstruction of ten bridges. Worth €55 million, the project is funded by the European Union (10th EDF program). It will be implemented within 24 months.
- In July 20, 2015, the loading of the first tons of bauxite from the consortium China Hongqiao Group Limited, UMS, Winning, Yantai Port Group, WAP and SMB via the river port of Boke. Located in the district of Katougouma, sub-prefecture of Tanéné, in the Prefecture of Boke, this river port of 41 hectares that will extend over the bank of the Rio Nuñez, evacuates bauxite minerals from the Mining Society Boke and other companies in this prefecture. With a capacity of 230 million tons including 50 million tons of bauxite per year, this port will provide more than 3,000 jobs for youth. The work was completed in three months by the Chinese company Winning Alliance ports with a total cost of US $100 million.
- Rehabilitation of 194 kilometers between Kankan and Kissidougou road into a modern road meeting international standards. This road major project expected to open up areas of the Haute -Guinée, the Middle Guinea and facilitate access to maritime corridor.
- The construction of the railway line Conakry-Kankan, the second largest city in the country (662 km long) was entrusted to the French group Bolloré. Also announced that the construction of the railway line Conakry - Kagbélén, approximately 142 km long.

4.5 Guinea Airport Company Contact List
Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft
The application procedure for traffic rights at the International Conakry airport (which are the same for chartered flights and humanitarian flights) are as follows:
- 72 hours before the flight departure: A letter signed by the Representative of the concerned Organization is to be sent to the Civil Air Aviation in Guinea (Direction Nationale de l’Aviation Civile). The letter should be signed and returned by the CAA. The following information should be specified in the letter: Registration number of the aircraft, flight number, call sign, the pilot’s license, and the purpose of the flight, specifying also the name of the company and the name and address of the chatterer. Also to be attached is a copy of the insurance certificate and a copy of the airworthiness certificate.
- As soon as possible when the charter contract is confirmed with a schedule, the air company / the operator of the aircraft should send an SITA telex requesting a landing permit number and over flight permit to Conakry. Like all international airports, Conakry has a SITA address. The request coming from an air company has to contain the exact same information as the letter to the Civil Air Aviation in Guinea, specifying: Type of freight, type of context (for instance, for emergency humanitarian aid), name and address details of the chatterer of the aircraft and the consignee at the destination.
Usually the answer from the Civil Air Aviation will be ready within 24 hours after the SITA message has been received by the Civil Air Aviation. If there are problems getting the permission the charterer should ask the consignee - the humanitarian organisation at the destination - to take an appointment with the Civil Air Aviation to find out what are the problems and discuss them with the Guinean authorities.
For charted flights carrying VIP passengers, additional clearance should be requested at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Normally for chartered flights you need to send a pre-advice to SOGEAC to book the handling, minimum 12 hours before ETD of the flight.
For information on Guinea procedures, please directly contact the Directorate of the National Aviation. Contact details can be found in the 4.5 Guinea Airport Company Contact List.

In order to increase the airport's performance, SOGEAC is planning to build a taxi way which will double the capacity of the airport as the planes will be able to taxi during landing or take-off instead of using the only runway available in the airport.

In order to improve the airport services and attract more air companies (especially cargo), SOGEAC is working on obtaining the RA3 which is a cargo-handling entity located in a third country that is validated and approved as such on the basis of an EU aviation security validation. The RA3 must ensure that security controls, including screening, are applied to all EU/EEA bound consignments and protected from interference. The RA3 and the KC3 checklist is the instrument used by the EU aviation security validator for assessing the level of security applied to EU/EEA bound air cargo or air mail or under the responsibility of the entity seeking designation as a RA3 or KC3. The completed checklist is signed by the EU aviation security validator and, where applicable, commented by the validated entity. If the EU aviation security validator concludes that the entity has succeeded in the complying with the objectives referred to in the checklist, a validation report shall be given to the validated entity. The validation report shall state that the entity is designated Third Country EU aviation security validated Regulars Agent (RA3) or Known Consignor (KC3). The audit will be conducted by Air France. This is the first step to obtain the ACC3 = ‘Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport’. It is required by the European Union (including Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) for carriers to fly air cargo into or through the EU. As from 1 July 2014, carrier stations in third countries must have a Security Validation in order to acquire or maintain their ACC3 designation. This validation needs to be reissued every five years.

Airfield Cost
Navigation Charges
The navigation charges are distinguished by the charges to be paid to the Guinean National Navigation Authority for flights level below 100 which is calculated as following equation: √weight of the plane in mt / 1 x US $65. In addition to that there are the regional navigation charges to be paid to the Flight Information Region based at Roberts International Airport in Monrovia, Liberia for flights level above 100. The landing charges at Gbessia International Airport are detailed per metric ton as each metric ton has a different amount for charging. Airspace is divided into lower and upper airspace and into Flight Information Regions (FIRs), which can, as required, encompass Terminal Control Areas (TMAs) or Upper Control Areas (UTAs). An FIR is an airspace with specific dimensions, in which an information service and an alert service are provided. The Roberts FIR TMA extends 40 nm north of Conakry and 99 nm south of Monrovia. The Roberts FIR is a dismemberment of the Dakar FIR. It was established in January 1975 by Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which decided to manage their airspace jointly. The FIR was named after Roberts International Airport (also known as Robertsfield), which hosted the headquarters at its creation. The headquarters was transferred to Freetown in June 1990 because of the war in Liberia. It has been based in Conakry since June 1997 as a result of the war in Sierra Leone.

2.3 Guinea Road Network
National roads in Guinea represent 16% of the 44,301 km of the inventoried road network. This network includes prefecture (or secondary) roads - 36%; and community (or tertiary) roads - 48%. The overall state of national roads is very unsatisfactory (paved: good 16%, average 31% and bad 50%; unpaved: good 6%, average 51% and bad 43%). There are different projects that the government intends to launch with the support of development partners. The road plan contains a portfolio of 31 priority projects estimated at 1.12 billion Euros (US $1.54 billion, GNF 10.8 trillion). It covers:
- Construction or rehabilitation of 2,262 km of national roads;
- Construction of 31 km of two-lane roads;
- Rehabilitation of 96 km of national roads;
- Reinforcement of 725 km of national roads;
- Improvement of 3,000 km of roads for prefectures and 4,000 km of community road;
- Construction 620 km of urban roads, including 140 km in Conakry; and
- Installation of five (5) toll-weighing stations.
On 30 June 2015, Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) announced a loan of EUR 30 million to EBOMAF Group for the rehabilitation and paving of a section of 194 km of National Highway 6 (RN 6), connecting Kissidougou and Kankan. Built in the 1970s as part of the Guinea-Cuban cooperation, the stretch of the N6 between Kissidougou and Kankan displays a serious state of deterioration, and high congestion levels and heavy rains will make the transport of persons, freight and livestock extremely difficult.
Sogea-Satom is realizing the rehabilitation of the RN2, a distance of 53 km between Kissidougou and Guéckédou, as well as the reconstruction of ten bridges. The project is worth €55 m and is funded by the European Union (10th EDF program). It will be implemented within 24 months.
The road network in Guinea Republic is composed of 44,301 km as follows:
- National road (RN): 7,576 km of which:
- 2,346 km is paved roads
- 5,230 km is dirt roads
- Prefectural roads: 15,879 km (dirt road)
- Communal roads: 19,846 km (dirt road)
- Urban roads: 1,000 km
On the national and regional roads there are the following crossings:
- Ferries: 24 in good and bad conditions
- Wooden bridges: 5
- Temporary bridges: 31
- Concrete bridges: 1,946
- Metal bridges: 39 (26 renovated)
The national roads are composed of the following itineraries:
- N1: connecting Conakry - Coyah - Kindia - Mamou - Dabola - Kouroussa - Kankan
- N2: connecting Mamou - Faranah - Kissidougou -Guékédou - Macenta - Nzérékoré - Lola. In dry season can reach Yamoussoukro (Côte d'Ivoire)
- N4: connecting Coyah - Forécariah - Farmoreya - towards Sierra Leone
- N5: connecting Mamou - Dalaba - Pita - Labé (Fouta Djalon region) from there, the road is not practicable during the rainy season.
- N6: Connecting Kissidougou - Kankan - Siguiri - Bamako (Mali)
- N20: Connecting Kamsar - Kolaboui - Boké

Road Security
The road security is low due to the road conditions and absence of proper regulations and implementation of road safety measures. The roads in general are in bad condition. The absence of speed limits, bad condition of vehicles, drivers without a minimum knowledge of road regulations, no lights during the night and the overloading of trucks are all factors that impact the road security level in the country.

2.4 Guinea Railway Assessment
For information on Guinea Conakry Railway company contact details, please see the following link: 4.10 Guinea Railway Company Contact List
Even though it appears on the maps, in reality the railway between Conakry and Kankan does not exist anymore (the rails themselves were either sold or taken away). Currently there are four different railways operating in Guinea:
- Bauxite railway company – Conakry railway (CBG)
- Conakry - Kindia: A standard gauge railway line with a length of 105 km. The route is operated by the state owned mining company Societé des Bauxites de Kindia (SBK). The transport includes the delivery of bauxite (annually 1,2 million mt) from Kindia to Conakry harbour.
- Boké railway: The Northern Line of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) gauge (standard gauge) carries about 12 million mt per annum. The route is: Port Kamsar – port Boké - Sangarédi - bauxite mine. The Company de Bauxite du Guinea (CBG), assisted by the Aluminum Corporation of America (Alcoa), operates the Boké Railway, which has been quietly getting on with heavy haul for the last 40 years with six-daily 13,000-ton bauxite trains behind pairs of EMD SD40-2 locomotives.
- Conakry Express: The Chinese International Funding (CIF) funded initiative delivered a passenger rail transport system in June 2010 which provides a 30 km of service in Conakry area. This public railway service between Conakry and Simbaya (36 km) runs once a day in each direction.
One of the major projects in the near future will be to rehabilitate the Conakry - Kankan rail network. A Chinese company has started the renovation to join Kindia to Kankan and up to Bamako. The main network function is to transfer mine products from the site of production to the port Kamsar or Conakry. Guinea has 1,086 km of railways.
The transport company AMA Africa is in partnership with the company RUSAL which is realizing a container terminal station at Debele near Kindia (Road N1 from Conakry, direction Mamou). It is possible to transport the containers by railway from Conakry port to Debelé / Kindia; this train connection is today used by RUSAL for Bauxite transportation from Kimbo. The Surface of the Debele site is 36,000 m² which can accommodate 300 TEU in the first phase. This dry port is dedicated to the Mali corridor; after the containers arrival by train at Debelé dry port, the containers should be positioned on trucks to reach Bamako via Kankan as there is no railway to Kankan.
Proposed Trans-Guinean Railways: The heavy duty Trans-Guinean Railways is about 750 km long and would be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) (standard gauge). It goes from iron ore mines in the south east and bauxite mines in the north to a new port at Matakong. The route would be: Matakong - Deepwater port - Forécariah - Madina Woula (way station) - Bambafouga(junction) – Marela (way station) - Faranah - Tiro – Kissidougou (way station) - Macenta - Koule - Nzerekore - Lola – Simandou (iron ore deposit) - Diéké – Nimba (iron ore) – Pontiola (bauxite) – Tougué (branch terminus - bauxite).
The SGTE Société Générale de Technique et d'Études is the National company for rehabilitation and modernisation of the Railways of Guinea.
The Conakry Express, operating between Petit Bateau and K36, has the following schedule:

Key Route Information
Central Line
This line is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge and heads in a northwestern direction from Conakry (capital and port) - Dubréka - Fria - bauxite mine.
Southern Line
This line is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge, but conversion to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) gauge has been proposed. The route is: Conakry (capital and port) - Kindia (provincial capital) - Kolèntèn - Konkouré (several km north of railway) - Mamou (provincial capital) - Kégnégo - Dabola (junction and break of gauge) - Bissikrima - Cisséla - Kouroussa (bridge over Niger River) - Kankan (terminus and provincial capital) - Dabola (junction and break of gauge) - Tougué (bauxite).
South west line
This line is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) and parallels the Southern line. The route is: Conakry (capital and port) - Kindia - bauxite mine.
2.5 Guinea Waterways Assessment
This mode of transport is insignificant due to the navigability on the two rivers (Niger from Kouroussa and Milo from Kankan) towards Bamako (Republic of Mali) being possible over a period of only four months in the year.
2.6 Guinea Storage Assessment
There is limited available storage capacity in the country and the existing structures usually need rehabilitation and repairs. In Conakry city, it is difficult to find any suitable warehouses of big capacity and in good condition inside the city premises. Transporters and Freight Forwarding companies usually have some storage capacity. During the Ebola crisis, WFP deployed Mobile Storage Units in the country for the special operation of common services / Logistics Cluster by establishing three logistics bases with the main one in Conakry near the Gbessia International Airport, one in Nzérékoré and the third one in Kissidougou. These three logistics bases provided storage facilities to all humanitarian and governmental actors involved in the Ebola response. In some localities, there isn’t any structure that can be used as storage facility while in other places maybe an old cinema theatre could serve as temporary storage facility.
For information on storage contacts, please see the following link: 4.6 Guinea Storage and Milling Company Contact List
Commercial Storage
Limited commercial storage exists in the country. It might be time consuming to find a suitable warehouse especially in the remote areas.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Humanitarian organizations use their own storage facility, either a warehouse or in the empty rooms in their offices. During the Ebola crisis, the humanitarian organizations opted to use the storage facilities provided by the WFP Special Operation of Common Services & Logistics Cluster. In order to provide suitable storage capacity for the Ebola Response, WFP Common Services/Logistics Cluster established three Logistics bases: Main Logistics Base (MLB) next to Conakry airport and two Forward Logistics Bases (FLB) in Kissidougou and N’Zérékoré. In addition to that, WFP Common Services/ Logistics Cluster provided Mobile Storage Units (MSU) to the humanitarian organizations including transport and erecting the MSU in different locations upon request. There are forwarding companies offering services in stock management but this option was not used by the humanitarian organizations as the main preferences is to run their own facilities. The major humanitarian organizations storing items in the country are the Pharmacy Central de Guinée (PCG), World Health Organization, UNICEF and WFP for both food and non-food items. Most of the items are Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), preventive materials against Ebola and food. The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) is currently supporting the Guinean Red Cross by financing the establishment of a new headquarters for the Guinean Red Cross that could serve as a main logistics base for their activities. During the Ebola response, WFP Common Services supported the Pharmacy Central de Guinea (PCG) with storage facilities and transport.

Public Sector Storage
There is some some public storage available to be used by humanitarian organizations in different locations in Guinea if the request and the need are formulated to the local authorities. The best option is to directly contact the prefet/mayor of the locality who will help in identifying the available warehouses or locations. Most of these storage locations will need some rehabilitation and repairs.

Cold Chain
There are not many cold chain facilities in the country. WFP Common Service/Logistics Cluster is deploying 6 Reefer containers at the Main Logistics Base in Conakry, 2 Reefer containers in Forward Logistics Base in N’zérékoré and 2 others in Kissidougou’s Forward Logistics. All the containers are 40’ containers. The Programme Elargie de Vaccination ‘PEV’ located in the PCG premises has cold chain facilities in Conakry and in the country as shown in the table here below. Their actual capacity satisfies their actual needs even though in some cases when there is a major vaccination campaign they find themselves relying on other structures to provide them with temporary storage. In 2015 – 2017 the PEV will be supported by DAVI and many of their installations will be renewed in 2016 which is the first phase of the project. In the second phase, the 4 PEV trucks will be replaced with new ones.

Overview
The following sections contain information on the service and supply industries of Guinea.
The service and supply sector in Guinea is competitive and offers good service quality. The majority of the goods is imported as local factories and transformation industries are rare due to the high cost of electricity. There is a good number of suppliers and service providers especially in the capital Conakry.

3.1 Guinea Fuel
There is no refinery in the country nor domestic production of oil. A National Import Committee is responsible for launching international bids to import fuel in the country. The HFO fuel for the centrals is managed separately from the other common fuel such as petrol, diesel and JET A1. The Société Guinéene de Pétrole (SGP) is the only entity authorized to import fuel and it is the main authority in this field. The SGP has the following nominal storage capacity; 73,000 m3 for diesel, 33,000 m3 for petrol and 3,700 m3 for JET A1. Two tankers arrive at Conakry port on a monthly basis to be offloaded and stocked at SGP facilities. After receiving the fuel in SGP tanks, the private distributors (17 different distributors including Total and Vivo Energy) can withdraw the quantities allocated to each one of them by submitting an order form. The companies can transport the fuel either using their own fleet or via their sub-contractors. It is strictly prohibited to import fuel without the authorization from the SGP or to use any other entry point except of Conakry Port. It is possible to find service stations in the main cities and towns and along the national roads. There are more than 150 Total stations and around 60 Vivo Energy (Shell), which have storing capacity of 40,353 m3. Total Ltd offers various services including payment with their NIMBA card and they also have a partnership with Orange to pay by Orange Money.
For information on Guinea Conakry Fuel contact details, please see the following links:
4.1 Guinea Government Contact List
4.7 Guinea Fuel Provider Contact List
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
The importation of the fuel is done by transparent bidding which is collectively managed by a tripartite committee composed of representatives of the administration, distribution companies and the Guinean Petroleum Corporation. The fuel prices are determined on a monthly basis according to the variations of the international prices. According to The SGP, the fuel in Guinea is subsidized.
Fuel Prices as of: 15.09.2015 (local currency and US$) |
|
---|---|
Petrol (per litre) |
8,000 GNF (US $0.95) |
Diesel (per litre) |

Jet A1 (per litre) Domestic flights International flights |
9,539 GNF (US $1.231) 7,359 GNF (US $0.950) |
Seasonal Variations
Some delays in offloading a tanker during the rainy season might occur but does not disturb the availability of fuel in the country. Gas stations close their operations in the evening at around 22h00 and reopen at 06h00 in the morning. Inside the country, there are individuals selling fuel at higher prices as service stations are scarce.

Fuel Transportation
Fuel transportation is either ensured by the distributors or by their sub-contractors. Some service stations in the country might face shortage in supplies due to the bad roads and the delays that might occur during the rainy season. During the Ebola crisis, there was an agreement between the Logistics Cluster and Total to have an emergency stock of 5,000 litres in different locations. In addition to that TOTAL Guinée provided JET A1 at Kissidougou airfield.
Standards, Quality and Testing
There are national standards regulating the quality in the country. Currently, there are two companies authorized to test the fuel; Société Générale de Guinée (SGS) tests petrol and diesel while Veritas Guinée tests JET A1.

3.2 Guinea Transporters
The commercial transport in Guinea can be divided to 4 categories. At the top, there are the companies that transport primarily for the account of mining companies and oil distribution companies, which require top quality service and reliability. Then come the SME transporters who either have a direct contract with a freight forwarding company or are sub-contracted by larger firms in the first category. These companies are managed in a good manner and offer above average quality of service. These SMEs are still confronted with the practices of third and fourth category of carriers in the market which disrupt the price level and the overloading. The third category is that of carriers with low management capacity, have recourse to the transporters associations or unions that monopolize the market share and offer cargo to their members. This is especially the case at the Port of Conakry and in different public markets. The rates charged are not negotiable; a commission is retained and the share collected by the carrier cover barely for the transportation costs. This encourages the practice of overloading since there aren’t any weighing bridge in the country. At the bottom of the scale are those called commonly "the banabanas" or marginal carriers that do not accept the affiliation and the system set up by the trade union and l’Union des Transporteurs Routiers de Guinée (UNTRG) and prefer to use less expensive brokers. These carriers are poorly paid, use equipment in very poor condition and offer poor service. The last two categories compose more than 60% of the total trucking capacity in the country.
l’Union des Transporteurs Routiers de Guinée or (UNTRG) is the main transport union in the country.
The number of trucks in the country is sufficient for the local market. It is important to note that some transporters might not accept to operate on certain routes during the rainy season.

3.3 Guinea Manual Labor Costs
Guinea's Labor Code permits all workers (except military and paramilitary) to create and participate in labor organizations. The General Workers Union of Guinea (UGTG) and the Free Union of Teachers and Researchers of Guinea (SLECG) have emerged since the code ended the previously existing trade union monopoly system. However, the National Confederation of Guinean Workers (CNTG) remains the largest labor organization. Collective bargaining is protected by law. Salaried workers, including public sector civilian employees, have the right to strike, provided that they have given 10 days' notice of an intent to strike and that they are not engaged in an essential service. About 5% of the workforce is unionized.
The minimum working age is 16, and is enforced for large firms working in the formal economy. However, most children work, either in the informal economy or in agriculture. The workweek is technically 48 hours, but most people work longer hours. The labor code has provisions for a minimum wage but the government has yet to establish one, and most workers do not earn a living wage.

There is a common radio room managed by UNDSS. All radio bases (HF/VHF) are located at UNDSS (Maison Commune) where UNDP, UNFPA, UNAIDS are located. The repeaters are located at Kakourima mountain located at 40 km from Conakry Town Centre. This is an inter-agency radio room; all UN agencies use the same frequencies. For the rest of connectivity and telecoms systems such as VSAT, each agency depends on its own.
3.5 Guinea Food and Additional Suppliers
It is possible to procure on the local market depending on the commodity itself. The local market is able to meet demand and to scale up if required. During the Ebola Response there was a huge demand for plastic tools such as plastic buckets and similar equipment used as preventive measures for hand washing. The local manufacturer faced some challenges at the start but was able to accommodate the multiple demands from different UN agencies and NGOs.
Although Guinea has mining resources, it is estimated that 60% of the Guinean population is engaged in agricultural production. The growing of corn, cassava, peanuts, rice, fonio, cola, citrus, tropical fruits and coffee assure 24% of GDP despite a lower growth rate in 2001 (0,1%). The arable land is estimated at 7.5 million ha with a cultivated area of 3,000,000 ha.
Key exports and imports are:
- Exports:
- $1.31 billion (2013 est.); $1.348 billion (2012 est.)
- Commodities: bauxite, alumina, gold, diamonds, coffee, fish, agricultural products
- Partners: India 10.6%, Spain 9.6%, Chile 9.4%, US 7.1%, Ireland 6.3%, Germany 6.3%, Ukraine 5.7%, France 5% (2012)
- Imports:
- $2.384 billion (2013 est.); $2.606 billion (2012 est.)
- Commodities: petroleum products, metals, machinery, transport equipment, textiles, grain and other foodstuffs
- Partners: China 14.2%, Netherlands 7.6% (2012)

3.6 Guinea Additional Service Providers
The number of qualified suppliers is limited in the country therefore it is important to assess the market and the supply to avoid any gaps in programme support needs.
For information on Guinea Additional Service Providers contact details, please see the following link: 4.9 Guinea Additional Service Provision Contact List
Accommodation
Accommodation/housing is available in country. In Conakry, the rent can be expensive especially if the place meets the minimum security requirements. Rents usually starts from US $900 / month for foreigners. It is important to note that finding good accommodations or housing inside the country might be difficult and renters often should expect to do some rehabilitation before moving in. The majority of owners demand to be paid a year in advance or at least 6 months plus the deposit of a caution of two months rent.
Financial Service Providers
There is a limited number of banks in Guinea; however, it is possible to find the following services: commercial and investment banking services, foreign exchange services, insurance and bank cards. Money transfer is possible either by the main international companies like Western Union or MoneyGram or by local companies which are in the capital.
ECOBANK
Ecobank Guinea (EGN) is supervised and regulated by the Central Bank of the Republic of Guinea (BCRG). EGN has 18 branches and 207 employees. The return on equity (ROE) was 20.6% in 2012 and has remained steady at around 30 per cent over the past two years. The return on assets (ROA) turns around 2 per cent over the last three years. EGN has experienced strong revenue growth over the past three years and occupies the second place in the Guinean market. Currently, it focuses more on the bank of individuals investing in cards and ATMs.

Freight Forwarding Agents
There are a few reliable freight forwarding agents in Guinea Conakry. The main agents are based in the Cité de Chemins de fer. The major freight forwarders are Ama Africa, Bolloré Africa, Transco and TTM which is specialized in exemption formalities. The aforementioned companies offer good service and have the capacity to pre-finance their activities.
Handling Equipment Rentals
Freight handling equipment is available for rent or lease such as forklifts and other materials. The pallets available are mainly not from good quality and are not conform to the European standards. The price of a pallet can vary from US $4 to US $10.
Postal and Courier Services
The national post is undergoing a major renovation and revitalization. There are post offices in the major cities and towns in the country. The major international express courier companies are also present in Guinea and offer their services on national and international levels.
Publishing/Printing Service Providers
Publishing and printing service providers are limited in Guinea but available and offer acceptable service in quality and price.
Taxi Companies
Taxis are owned by individuals and there aren’t any taxi companies in the country. The taxis are old cars, badly maintained and driven by unqualified drivers so it might be dangerous to travel by taxi.
Vehicle Rental
There is a good number of companies offering vehicle rentals. These companies showed a good capacity in providing sufficient vehicles during the Ebola crisis and were able to satisfy the high demand on vehicles from the humanitarian organizations in a short period of time. The vehicles are usually in good condition and accompanied by experienced drivers.
Electricity and Power
The power supplier in the country is the ‘Electricité de Guinée’ or EDG, The national grid covers only some cities in the western coast; however, even in Conakry the electricity black out is frequent and some neighborhoods do not receive electricity on a regular basis. The national production is not sufficient and its shortage is one of the principal reasons for investors and businesses closing down. In the regional capitals, electricity is provided through diesel power plants only and the electricity is only available during the night and for a certain period of time, generally between 20h00 and 24h00. Towns and villages are not provided with electricity. This situation obliges individuals and companies to rely heavily on generators. A new hydroelectric plant was inaugurated in July 2015 with total installed capacity of 240 MW but due to the poor condition of the network, only 140 MW are being exploited.

Waste Management and Disposal Providers
The household waste management in the capital Conakry, estimated at more than 700 tons per day according to official statistics, seems to have always been at the heart of the challenges facing the governorate of Conakry. Long term appropriate solutions in cleaning up this agglomeration with a population estimated at over two million people are slow.
A structure called the SPTD (public service waste transfer), attached to the governorship of Conakry, is in charge of garbage collection in the various collection points listed in the city to land them the discharge of the ‘Minière’,
Today, it's more than forty small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who are responsible for garbage collection at the household level, against payment of a monthly fee of 15,000 or 20,000 Guinean francs per family. A rate which varies according to the zones. A state that by lack of resources, these SMEs that depend on subsidies from some development partners are struggling to function properly.
Waste Disposal - Non Hazardous
The waste disposal is normally either burnt at site or transported to one of the random landfills in the area.
Waste Disposal - Hazardous
There are no restrictions regarding the disposal of used motor oil, fuel, electronics / computers, and any other solid waste.
There are no procedures nor processes for disposing of waste water (black and grey water).
