Ethiopia – Alemgena - Butajira Road Upgrading Project

This intervention concerns the Alemgena - Butajira Road Rehabilitation Project. It aims to support ongoing socio-economic development programmes in Ethiopia by removing transport bottlenecks and improving the quality of the road network. The road should also facilitate easy and low-cost access to markets. This route should increase farmers' awareness of market trends and strengthen their bargaining power. The project includes (i) construction works for the rehabilitation of the gravel road, which would be paved with bitumen and provided with a 7-metre pavement with 1.5 metres of shoulder on each side and a total length of 120 km between Alemgena and Butajira; and (ii) consultancy services for (a) supervision of the construction works for the structure mentioned in (i) above; (b) audit services for the project.
