Dakar Diamniadio Toll Highway

closed

The objectives of the Dakar Diamniadio Toll Highway (DDTH) Project for Senegal are to: (i) improve mobility between Dakar and Diamniadio; and (ii) provide communities affected by the construction of the highway access to basic social and economic services. There are four components to the project, the first component being road infrastructure. The Government of Senegal (GoS) has been keen to attract private sector involvement in the project via a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement as a way of: (1) mobilizing private sector investment in the road sector; and (2) ensuring that it will be built, operated, and maintained to the largest extent possible by the private sector. The second component is the right of way clearing, urban development of the Tivaouane Peulh resettlement site, and implementation of the Mbao forest management plan. The third component is the urban restructuring of Pikine Irrigulier Sud. The main objectives of this component will thus be to: (a) provide incentive and framework for securing land ownership titles for current residents; and (b) improve the livelihoods of the population through better access to basic services such as land titles, health care, education, and commercial facilities. Finally, the fourth component is the program implementation. This component will include all activities related to the coordination and supervision of the program activities as performed by the Investment Promotion and Large Projects Agency (APIX, s.a.), including the monitoring and evaluation.
