Funding worth US$300 million is being sought by Cameroon from the Islamic Development Bank. This will be used to improve the 218km road linking Douala with Bafoussam. Upgrades to the route are expected to cost $302 million, with the Cameroon Government providing the remainder.

Meanwhile, Cameroon’s Northwest Region is also to benefit from further road development works. This is of key importance as current transport links in the north of the country are poor. Work is ongoing for the road connecting Bamenda with Babadjou as well as for the ring road around Bamenda.
