The funding comprises a grant of €3.2 million from the African Development Fund, the Bank Group’s concessional funding window and another grant of €40.96 million from the Transition Support Facility, a mechanism designed to provide additional concessional resources to countries facing situations of fragility and conflict. The project will help open up the southern and eastern regions of Chad, and build resilience in target communities, especially for women and youth. It will help improve transport conditions for goods and people between Kyabé and Singako by creating a road that will be passable throughout the year and facilitate the flow of agricultural and agropastoral products from the fertile areas of Moyen Chari and Salamat to the consumption centres of Sarh, Moundou, N’Djamena and Abéché. It will also open up the region to neighbouring Sudan. As a landlocked country in Central Africa, Chad is a long distance from the sea, and the new road will help to reduce the very high transport costs along the major regional corridors. The Kyabé-Mayo section of the road between Kyabé and Singako is one of the missing links in the N’Djamena-Moundou-Sarh-Kyabé-Am Timan-Abéché corridor and forms part of the critical priority network that the government of Chad wants to build to ensure permanent coverage and accessibility across the whole of the country.
