Published purpose
The goal of the project is to help reduce poverty and to contribute to sustainable economic and monetary growth, within the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). Its purpose is to increase the WAEMU market's credibility and performance by mobilizing more public savings in an environment conducive to the transparency, security, and integrity of transactions. This US$ 408 million program was developed with the support of the West African Development Bank (WADB) and the World Bank. The bulk of this funding is allocated for regional infrastructure (paving of dirt roads, repairing roads, hydro and irrigation dams). This comprehensive program has three components: technical assistance and institutional support, development loans, and a guarantee facility. Canada's support focused on technical assistance and institutional support.
