Backed by major multilateral donors such as the African Development Bank, the World Bank, and the European Union, these programs represent a cumulative envelope exceeding 600 billion FCFA for over 700 kilometers of roadways, a substantial portion of which lies on the strategic corridor linking major economic centers to national borders.


Technical evaluations, however, reveal particularly contrasting execution paces. On the Ngaoundéré-Garoua axis, despite startup advances received by contracting firms and the establishment of logistical installations, work progress remains below the critical 5% threshold for all lots. Similar situations are observed on other vital segments, where the exhaustion of a large portion of contractual timelines contrasts with modest advancement rates.


These delays are compounded by recurring constraints related to cash flow tensions, disbursement delays, land release formalities, and security challenges inherent to certain intervention zones.

Faced with this situation, the sectoral administration has hardened its stance, demanding a drastic strengthening of monitoring and the issuance of formal notices to defaulting contractors.


The ability of public authorities to clear pending accounts and compel companies to adhere to their chronological commitments will condition the effective delivery of these infrastructures, indispensable for boosting economic activity and securing the fluidity of logistical flows.
