Project Description

In recent years, African governments, with the help of funding agencies, have directed their efforts towards the improvement of the road sector and inter-regional links, without forgetting the internal development, with the aim of reducing the cost of transport both nationally and internationally.

The other objective is to restore access to all regions of the country throughout the whole year, including during the rainy season, allowing connections with all capitals and major cities.

The improvement of the road sector, in addition to facilitating transport and, therefore, economic development, with the reduction in transport costs, also improves the conditions of life of people, not only by reducing poverty, but also extending lifetime. And this is done by facilitating links with health centers and, thanks to the increase of road safety and the evolution of culture, also improving links to the administrative centers, schools and religious centers, etc.

The project concerning the Control and supervision of construction and asphalting works of the national road N°22 (RN22) Kongoussi – Djibo / Section 2: from Ch. 16+000 to Ch. 96+000 (Djibo) is included in this context.
