| Summary: | The project (1996-2001) objectives were
to contribute to the revitalization of the railway transport
service in Cote d'Ivoire in order to promote
competitiveness and regional integration through the
rehabilitation of the railway infrastructure and equipment
assets. The credit of approximately US$18 million financed
the following project components: infrastructure
rehabilitation; equipment rehabilitation and acquisition;
and works supervision and training. The project provided the
necessary resources to finance physical investments on the
railway track in support of the private concession of
railway operations on the Abidjan-Ouagadougou-Kaya line
jointly awarded by Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso in
1993 and made effective in 1995. Despite the suspension of
all Bank-assisted projects since October 30, 2000, almost
all contracts and disbursements have been completed, 93
percent of the credit was disbursed when the project closed.
The other partners were the Agence Francaise de Developpment
(France), the European Investment Bank, the Administration
Generale pour la cooperation et le Developpement (Belgium). |
