The project comprises of four components. The first component, road rehabilitation and maintenance work is designed to support the ongoing efforts to improve transport connectivity in the greater Lake Chad region and the Far North of Cameroon. The second component, improved community infrastructure in selected areas and refugee host communities of the Far North region is designed to integrate local socio-economic content in the main operation with the objective of maximizing the wider economic benefits of the roads to be rehabilitated. The third component, transport sector institutional strengthening will finance capacity building and institutional-strengthening activities of the transport sector, among other things. The fourth component, contingency emergency response component will facilitate access to rapid financing by allowing reallocation of uncommitted project funds in the event of a natural disaster, either by a formal declaration of a national emergency or upon a formal request from the Government of Cameroon.
