Description
Description | The Fourth Highway Project will comprise: (a) a three-year training program for road maintenance personnel, consisting of technical assistance (120 man-months) and fellowships; (b) procurement of road maintenance equipment and spare parts; (c) pavement strengthening of the Lome-Notse-Atakpame road (157 km); (d) pre-investment studies of the Notse-Tohoun road (57 km); (e) technical assistance (60 man-months) to the General Directorate of Transport to improve transport planning and coordination; and (f) technical assistance (46 man-months) to CFT to improve railway operations. Project benefits will essentially be in savings in vehicle operating costs, which will directly benefit the transporters but could eventually be passed on to small farmers and consumers in the form of higher farmgate prices and slower increases in transport costs. The main risk of the project is linked to the generally slow response of the Togolese authorities to technical assistance, in particular as it relates to planning. The recent progress made, however, in the establishment of the General Directorate of Transport (GDT), staffing and the definition of its work program is an indication of the Government's commitment to strengthen planning. |
