The overall disbursement rate of the project has improved and the works and supervision contracts were launched for the rehabilitation of the Maroua-Mora road section which constituted about 70% of the total credit amount. The launching of the study of the elaboration of the Integrated Multimodal Transport Infrastructures Strategy for Cameroon will also improve the performance of the project. The effective implementation of the action plan elaborated during the November/December 2016 mission and revised during the March/June 2017 missions as well as the GoC’s commitment has helped improve project performance. What follows is a short update on the implementation status of the project. A. ROAD COMPONENT Both the Contractor and the Supervision Engineer for the rehabilitation works of the Maroua-Mora road section are fully mobilized since 05 January 2017. Works which were suspended for reasons of rainy season have been resumed since November 15, 2018. The key personnel for both the Contractor and the Supervision Engineer are mobilized at almost 100% respectively. A social assessment was carried out and the outcomes captured in a resettlement policy framework currently being implemented. The MINTP has confirmed that this section of road will maintained the same principle returned for the Mora - Dabanga - Kousseri section under the CEMAC TTF project, which consisted of limiting the right of way to 10-15 meters in order to minimize any expropriations impact. This section of the road considering the lesser insecurity risk (No incident has been recorded here since 2015) is under consideration to be integrated in an adaptable manner under the same security arrangement by the permanent special security detachment (DST), fully financed by the GoC for the Mora-Dabanga-Kousseri section. It is worth noting that in case this happens, the same trained military personnel by ICRC on sexual harassment, GRM, international human rights law, first aid, worker health, gender-based violence and safety, etc will be deployed to ensure security in this section. B. Railway Component: The major activity under this component is the railway signaling works and it constitutes 73% of the overall railway component. A revised bidding document has been elaborated to cover three key areas with the possibility of implementation in phases based on availability of funds. This is to address the difficulties faced in the first unsuccessful bidding process. The re-launching of new consultations is planned for March 3018. Implementation of this activity will contribute to the improvement of railway safety, which is a major challenge for the sector in Cameroon. OTHER UNDERTAKINGS: • The elaboration of the Integrated Multimodal Transport Infrastructure Strategy has been contracted with a view to completing it by the end of January 2019 so that its results are reflected in the Second Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (DSCE 2), whose preparation is expected to begin in early 2019; • Improving project environmental and social management: The December 2017 mission reiterated the requirement to have and effectively implement, environmental and social clauses for all Bank financed projects including Gender Based Violence considerations.
