To upgrade a 188km-long stretch that serves 24 villages, where key economic activities include agriculture and animal husbandry. At least 16,000 inhabitants will benefit from improved links to marketplaces and social services, as well as job opportunities. The project will also provide all-year and all-weather access to the northern part of the Koulikoro Region. The upgraded road will also provide internal and external access throughout the country by providing a permanent link from the capital Bamako to the city of Nara, which is close to the Mauritanian border. This in turn will open up trade opportunities.
