Agriculture plays a key role in Chad's economy, providing livelihoods for over three-quarters of the population. Chad’s road network is vital for transporting agricultural goods, but much of the network is in poor condition. This situation is particularly acute in the isolated prefecture of Salamat, where the Am Timan-Haraze Mangueigne road, a corridor that connects Salamat to markets and commercial centers in the capital city N'Djamena, has become seriously deteriorated.
The project will pave a 162-km section of the road and install drainage works to prevent flooding. Once completed, over 187,000 people in Salamat, as well as surrounding communities, will benefit from cheaper transport of agricultural goods and year-round access to social services.
