This project, which is third and final phase, involves the construction to bitumen standard of 320 km road sections including the 122 km Turbi-Moyale road section, in Kenya and the 198 km Hawassa-Ageremariam road section, in Ethiopia. It also includes trade and transport facilitation and capacity building consultancy services. The project's total cost is UA 241.59 million. It is co-financed by the Bank Group (93.1%), the Government of Ethiopia (3.5%) and the Government of Kenya (3.4%). The overall project implementation time is five years (2012–2017).
The development objectives of the project are to promote trade and regional integration and contribute to the countries’ social and economic development and poverty reduction efforts by providing a more efficient and effective transport system.
