| Project Detail |
The project consists of the rehabilitation of several sections of the road corridor from NDjamena to the Cameroon border in the South. Once rehabilitated, this 596 km long corridor will enable Chad to have access to the nearest seaport located in Douala, Cameroon.
Objectives
The project aims at addressing the transport and mobility constraints in Chad for both individuals and goods. The proposed project will cover the rehabilitation and limited widening of several sections totalling some 280 km out of the 596 km of the road corridor from NDjamena to Moundou, on the Cameroon border. Overall, the project aims at improving transport conditions, including level of service, road safety and climate change resilience. The project will improve the access of Chad, a landlocked country, to trade and economic activities thanks to the improvement of this main portal road link to the Douala seaport. The project will contribute to most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in particular to SDG 9 and SDG 13, respectively aiming at improving Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and contributing to Climate Action. It will also contribute to other more general SDGs such as SDG 1 (reducing poverty) and SDG 8 (providing decent work and economic growth).
