Landlocked Burundi relies heavily on its road network; however, much of it is in poor condition. This situation constrains income generation and limits access to social services, thus perpetuating poverty in underprivileged regions.
The project will construct a 14.5 km-long paved stretch of road through the Bubanza and Cibitole Provinces in the northwest, where poverty levels are some of the highest in the country. Also planned is the building of two bridges and the installation of drainage facilities. The improved road will bring numerous benefits to the beneficiary population, including enhanced access to basic services and helping end isolation.
