The Ethiopia – Djibouti Transport Corridor Project Phase I will improve logistics and road access to sea ports to Ethiopia and deepen regional integration in the economy, trade and transport. The project consists of the construction of 60km of the new 126 km 4-lane expressway from Adama to Awash, design of one-stop-border post and sections of road, policy, sector reforms in Djibouti transport sector and capacity building. The expressway is along the southern export-import route through Dewele/Galile border point which is a shorter route to the sea by 120km compared to the existing northern route passing through Galafi border point. The project will cost UA 181.60 million and is financed by an ADF Grant of UA 69.64 million to Ethiopia and ADF Grant of UA 3.80 million to Djibouti and a GoE contribution of UA 108.16 million. The road works will take 4.5 years whilst the various Djibouti consultancy services will take up to 3 years to complete. In supporting this project, the Bank is adding value to Ethiopia’s export / import sector and will contribute to Djibouti’s growth through the ports by facilitating trade and transport and linking economic growth poles, in line with Bank’s aspirations for a transformed Africa.
