The African Development Bank (AfDB) is committed to financing Senegal to upgrade 600 km of roads for the period 2021-2025. This support is part of its five-year plan

The pan-African development institution will support Senegal in strengthening its transport infrastructure and regional integration. On Monday, April 19, the ADB published its country strategy document (DSP 2021-2025) for Senegal. According to the five-year plan, the financial institution plans to rehabilitate 500 kilometers of paved roads and build 100 kilometers of paved roads, as well as related social

“The Bank's interventions will improve access and the quality of transport services: for paved roads, from 82% in the “good/average” index in 2019 to 85% in 2025, and for unpaved roads, in the “good/average” index of 55% to 60% over the period,” indicates the ADB.

Note that the Bank is already helping to finance the construction of the Rosso bridge (between Senegal and Mauritania) — which should reduce the river crossing to two minutes — and the Farim — Tanaff road (Senegal-Guinea Bissau), which will improve the logistics performance index from 2.32 in 2019 to 2.60 in 2025.
