PIDA Code: T.21.01

Project Overview

The Kribi–Campo–Bata Road is a planned cross-border corridor between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It is intended to connect the ports and economic areas around Kribi and Bata through road improvements, the Ntem River bridge and associated border infrastructure. Detailed road and bridge packages are being prepared separately, including a 39 km Cameroon access-road component.

Description

<p>The project entails detailed studies and engineering designs for the construction of a bridge over the Ntem River and its access roads linking the Republics of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.</p>

<p>The project also includes the construction of a one-stop border post (OSBP) and the implementation of trade facilitation measures along the Transport Corridor linking Yaoundé in Cameroon, Bata in Equatorial Guinea and Libreville in Gabon.</p>

<p> </p>

Objectives

<p>The Kribi-Campo-Bata road is one of the major corridors identified in the Central Africa"'s Transport Master Plan to improve competitiveness, provide integration and trade opportunities in the region.</p>

<p>The project will strengthen bilateral cooperation between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, open up economic opportunities, and drive further infrastructure development and improvement in the region. The studies, which include environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA), are expected to facilitate subsequent financing and implementation of the project, which will also benefit local populations by opening the region to productive economic activities by improving access, mobility and reducing travel times and costs. </p>
