This loan will co-finance completion of a project originally launched in 1997 and has since been expanded to encompass the prefectures of Telimele, Dubreka, Fria, Boka and Boffa, home to around 700,000 people.
The project will construct/upgrade some 178 km of feeder roads and 12 bridges, and develop over 120 ha of lowland territory to expand rice-cropping activities. Water supplies will be enhanced through the drilling of boreholes, installation of pumps, and rehabilitation of village springs. Additionally, vital infrastructure will be built and appropriately equipped and furnished. Training for the beneficiary population will also be provided in order to insure the sustainability of the initiative.
