Louis Berger, as part of a consortium led by NTU International A/S, has been hired to support the development of the transportation sector in the African, Caribbean and Pacific (A.C.P.) Group of States, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa.
This EUR 2.3 million project aims to promote inclusive political, economic and social development through enhanced regional integration by strengthening African countries’ ability to regulate, organize and finance better inter-regional and continental transportation infrastructure through safe transboundary transportation corridors and harmonized transportation policies. The project also will support progress toward the Millennium Development Goals in A.C.P. countries.
The consortium will help the African Union Commission’s Department of Infrastructure and Energy improve its sector management capacity as well as support the implementation of the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) Priority Action Plan projects. In addition, the consortium will strengthen the transportation pillar of the 2014-2017 Infrastructure Agenda of the Joint Africa-European Union Strategy, an initiative that outlines a long term shared vision of the future of Africa-European Union relations in a globalized world, and will promote the start-up of smart corridor activities.
