Koudougou-Dedougou Road Project

Burkina Faso

This 130 km-long road runs through the western provinces of Boulkiemdé, Sanguié and Mohoun, an area populated by around one million inhabitants. While these provinces have enormous potential for the production of food and cash crops, the transport of produce is difficult, as the earth-surfaced road has deteriorated and becomes easily flooded.

The project will address this issue by paving the stretch and building drainage works. Some 35 km of earth access roads linking schools, health centers and other social services will also be constructed. After completion, the beneficiary population will be able to enjoy better incomes and improved food security.
