Abstract

The article focuses on the African Development Bank's approval of contracts for the reconstruction of a crucial 278-kilometer highway in northern Cameroon, which is essential for trade with Chad. Four Chinese companies—CGCOC Group, China Harbour Engineering Co., China First Highway Engineering Co., and China International Water & Electric Corp.—will undertake the €337.9 million project, primarily funded by the African Development Bank. This highway facilitates significant economic activity, contributing approximately 35% to Cameroon's GDP and serving a substantial portion of the populations of both Cameroon and Chad. The project, expected to be completed by 2030, aims to enhance cross-border trade and improve economic competitiveness between the two nations. [Extracted from the article]
