Kaya-Dori National Road Project

Burkina Faso

The 163 km-long Kaya–Dori road in the northeast plays a vital role in the country’s road network, as it is part of a corridor that links Burkina Faso to Côte d’Ivoire and Niger. The gravel-surfaced road has become worn over the years, however, resulting in frequent flooding and road closures.

Under the project, the road will be paved with an all-weather surface. Since the stretch passes over two earth dams that also have deteriorated, they will be rebuilt. Once completed, some one million inhabitants living in and around the project area will enjoy easier transport of produce and inputs, and better access to markets, social services and jobs.
