Abstract: In African countries like Cameroon, the reform of network utilities occurs in a context characterized by an absence of financial market, a lack of equity culture, a lack of regulation and inefficiency of public ownership. Hence the question of whether in such a context, sustainable development of these industries is possible. We study the case of railway transportation industry in Cameroon and show that under such conditions, the industry is going through successive stages of opportunism, social responsibility and maturity. Only this last step initiates a real sustainable development.
