Build 2,800 km of roads and 700 km of highways at 1,200 billion per year
- Opening up of agricultural production basins, i.e. 800 km per year: 200 billion per year
- Connect each divisional capital to the regional (or federated entity) capital by a paved road, 1,200 km per year: 300 billion per year
- Tarring of urban roads especially in the 10 regional (or federated entities) capitals, i.e. 1,600 km: 400 billion per year
- Construction of a highway network. First phase: (Yaoundé-Douala (Limbe) -Bafoussam (Bamenda) -Yaoundé, about 700 km: 300 billion per year for the initial contribution (« Down Payment »): built mainly on BOT.
FINANCING
- 200 billion from the Road Fund (revenue from tolls and road weighing stations which currently bring
in 140 billion euros a year, modernisation of toll booths and weighing stations could raise revenues to 200 billion euros a year); - 150 billion derived from the activity of the Land Freight Management Bureau (LFMB) estimated at
150-160 billion which are not included in the State budget; - 50 billion recovered from the reduction of petroleum product fraud;
- 400 billion corresponding to 10% of the 4,000 billion of budget revenues;
- 200 billion borrowed from the 4,000 billion granted to Cameroon by the donors, but not disbursed
because of the non-maturation of the projects; - 100 billion from multilateral donors (World Bank, IMF, Islamic Development Bank, EDF, etc.);
- 100 billion from bilateral donors (Eximbank China, India, French Development Agency, DEG, etc.);
RESTORE THE COST OF ROAD ASPHALTING AT REASONABLE PRICES CORRESPONDING TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
The km of paved road costs 150 million in Ghana against 250 million in Cameroon.
To lower the cost of the km of asphalt or paved road, the following measures will be taken:
- Creation of a National Company with a monopoly on feasibility studies for infrastructure projects, especially road projects;
- Rehabilitation of MATGENIE;
- Creation of several crushing units of gravel and pozzolan;
- Industrialisation of sand extraction at sea and in rivers;
- Linear tracing of roads;
- Paving of roads and streets with cobblestones and slabs of the highest technical standards;
With such measures, we can build about 700 km of highway at 2 billion per km against 1 billion per km in South Africa for example
The creation of a National Company for the Study and Control of Public Works (NCSCPW)
We will create a State industrial and commercial company responsible for, among other things, carrying out, alone or in partnership, the studies and the control of all infrastructures and public works in Cameroon (missions that were ensured by the SEDA in the past)
Full and decentralised road maintenance (at the level of the regions or federated entities)
We will intervene on the whole road network, differentiating the levels of intervention, with regard to the financial constraints, the minimum level being to avoid a long isolation to the populations. Action will not be limited to a transfer of resources; it will also take the form of contract-plans signed with the State and containing specific objectives in terms of service to the peoples.
