Effects induced by the execution of projects and programs
The completion of construction work on several roads and their commissioning have to date noted a positive impact on several sectors of socio-economic life. Two transport agencies provide connections on the Yaoundé-Ntam line (Congo border) twice a week and transport an average of 700 passengers from Douala and Yaoundé to Brazzaville each month since the start of 2023. We note in addition that around 150 large carriers cross the road each week with their cargoes and the customs revenues of the Ntam customs office reached a rate of 135% in 2023. Furthermore, there is an increase of 8% in the quantities of products exported from Cameroon to Congo since 2020 and a considerable reduction in transport costs (from 35,000 FCFA to 12,000 FCFA on average) and delays (3 days at 6 a.m.) between Yaoundé and Ntam (Cameroon-border).
