Roads represent the predominant mode of transport in landlocked Botswana; however, only around 6,000 km of the 19,000 km network is paved. In order to increase the efficiency of the transport sector, this project will carry out works in the capital Gaborone and the Southern District.
A pilot scheme will rehabilitate and upgrade around 827 km of rural and semi-urban roads in the Southern District, while in Gaborone intersections will be widened and a multi-level intersection built. The project also contains a pre-investment and capacity-building component that will introduce strategic planning and transport integration methods, as well as knowledge strengthening and sharing.
