ADB to finance Ketta-Djoum road between Cameroon and Congo

The African Development Bank (AfDB) has agreed to provide a financial package of more than US$421 million, which will be used to finance construction of the second phase of the improvement work for the international Ketta-Djoum road.

The Ketta-Djoum project - between Yaoundé in the Cameroon and Brazzaville in the Congo - involves 312km of road construction works that will last up to 36 months. The project was launched in 2012.
