Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

According to the Government of Mauritania’s Development Assistance Database (DAD), the Chinese Government and the Government of Mauritania signed an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) on December 29, 2010, which committed RMB 60 million of grant funding for the 172 km Aftout Echarghui Road Project. The purpose of this project was to open up the poverty-stricken southern areas of Mauritania. The Aftout Echarghui Road Project was broken into two lots: Lot 1 supported the 81 km El Ghayra-Barkeol road segment and Lot 2 supported the 91 km Chogar-Male-Sawata road segment. China Overseas Engineering Co., Ltd. was the contractor responsible for implementation. It signed a commercial contract to build the road in April 2010. The project officially commenced on November 22, 2010 and it was completed on April 21, 2015. The Aftout Echarghui Road was also financed partially through an RMB 583 million government concessional loan from China Eximbank, which is captured in Record ID#18756.
