Project Description

Through the MobiliseYourCity initiative, the Yaoundé Urban Community (CUY) has received technical and financial support from AFD and the European Union to develop its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) adopted in September 2019.This SUMP has made it possible to identify priority mobility projects, including the Yaoundé Cœur de Ville (YCDV) project.
The aim of the YCDV is to redevelop around ten sites in order to increase the efficiency of the city’s road network, facilitate the use of public transport, improve the quality of pedestrian walkways, enhance road safety, reduce gender inequalities and better link the sites to the surrounding urban fabric. The project includes the redevelopment of three major junctions, two intercity bus stations and pedestrian walkways. It also includes smaller, quick-impact actions such as the development of three crossroads, improvements to three small-scale transport network terminals, the development of footpaths and access to several schools.
Part of the 3rd Debt Reduction and Development Contract (C2D) and implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MINHDU) and the CUY, the YCDV project has a budget of 43.6 billion FCFA (€75 million).
