Project General Description

The proposed project seeks to address development constraints caused by poor road infrastructure in the Northern Region of Ghana, which is the one of the most impoverished and isolated Regions of the country. It aims at constructing the 147.5 km of road between Fufulso and Sawla as well as key socio-economic infrastructure. The upgrading of the road will specifically enhance regional integration and cooperation between Ghana and its Northern neighbours by facilitating cross border international traffic, especially towards Cote d?Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. This is harnessed by the fact that it will link the Tema-Ouagadougou-Bamako corridor (UEMOA/Ghana Road Program I financed by the Bank) with Ghana?s Western Corridor (Elubo – Wa - Hamile road) which goes towards Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. The estimated project cost, exclusive of taxes and duties, is UA 110.58 million.

Project Objectives

The transport sector goal is to provide an integrated, viable and sustainable transport infrastructure to meet the goals of ECOWAS regional integration. The objective of the Project is to enhance accessibility along the Fufulso-Sawla road and improve the livelihoods in the project area of influence.

Beneficiaries

The road corridor?s immediate vicinity is inhabited by an estimated population of 30,000; of whom 50.8% are women. These will constitute among others, the direct beneficiaries of the project. Other beneficiaries are people from other parts of the Northern Region, traders and road transport operators and travelers from the Upper East and West Regions as well as Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
