Niger: Transport Sector Program Support Project

IDA Grant: US$30 Million

Project Description: The Transport Sector Program Support Project supports the Government of Niger’s efforts to: (i) improve the physical access of rural population to markets and services on selected unpaved sections of the national road network, and (ii) strengthen the institutional framework, management and implementation of road maintenance in Niger. The project will contribute to the overarching growth acceleration objective of Niger’s Poverty Reduction Strategy by improving the core road infrastructure which is the backbone of the country’s access to world markets.
