This project concerns the construction of the regional bridge over the Ntem River between Campo (Cameroon) and Rio Campo (Equatorial Guinea) and transport facilitation on the Yaoundé-Bata-Libreville corridor. The demarcated corridor is incorporated in the Central African Consensual Master Plan (PDCT-AC) adopted under the aegis of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). Construction of the bridge over the Ntem River will benefit from all these projects. Moreover, the combined effects of previous or ongoing investments in road networks of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea will contribute to a rapid increase in traffic and achievement of the project’s development objectives. This operation is high on the list of integrating projects in the ECCAS/CEMAC zone, especially in the PDCT-AC whose objective is to foster regional integration within the community area. The project, by establishing a fixed land link between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea will contribute to the expansion of intra-community trade and an increase in trade outlets for producers in the area. The project has four (4) components: (i) works, (ii) support for transport facilitation and the emergence of an industrial port hub in the Kribi-Bata area, (iii) institutional support and sectoral studies, (iv) project management and compensation. The project contributes to climate finance, with 15 million USD of the total approved amount dedicated to adaptation.
