General description
The Garoua river port, located on the Bénoué River in northern Cameroon, is a historic infrastructure and a major, currently underused economic asset. Intended to facilitate the transport of goods between Cameroon, Nigeria, and landlocked countries (Chad, Central African Republic), it could become a vital regional logistics hub. However, its infrastructure is dilapidated, the river suffers from silting that limits navigation, the equipment is obsolete, and integrated logistics chains are lacking. This mission aims to modernize this key infrastructure to unlock its economic and regional potential.
Impacts / Objectives
Transform the Garoua port into an efficient multimodal logistics hub, reducing transport costs by 20% for essential goods (agricultural products, fuels) and increasing the volume of goods in transit by 30% within 5 years. This modernization will stimulate the local and regional economy, create direct and indirect jobs, and strengthen the economic integration of the sub-region by connecting the port to land and maritime corridors (Kribi, Douala).
Contribution details
**Investment:** Direct financing of river logistics companies (transport, ship maintenance) and the construction of modern infrastructure (warehouses, storage silos for agricultural products).
**Entrepreneurship:** Creating and developing SMEs specialized in digitalized port management (cargo tracking, logistics ticketing, flow management).
**Technical Expertise:** Sharing skills and providing support for the training of young local engineers and technicians in port and logistics professions.
**Partnerships:** Mobilizing international investors through public-private partnerships (PPP).
**Equipment Donations:** Contributing modern equipment (navigation systems, mobile cranes, digital management tools).
Mission conditions
A long-term commitment to ensure the sustainability of the actions. Close collaboration with local authorities, economic stakeholders, and communities. Compliance with environmental standards and national regulations. Transparency in the management of projects and resources.
