A multimodal transport platform in the Mora area (northern part of Cameroon) has been inaugurated by the Cameroonian Minister for Local Development, Georges Elanga Obam, thanks to funding from the German Cooperation Bank, KFW. This is along the Douala-Ndjamena corridor linking Cameroon and Chad.
The platform which costs over one billion CFA francs and comprises a parking area, a bus station with six terminals, a courier office, a four-store block, a commercial block with 12 shops, a toilet facility, a restaurant with 54 seats, a police station and a borehole. This infrastructure comes in response to a complaint from transporters who asked for a rest area and a platform to facilitate the transit of goods. This area allows transporters to eat in a secure environment.
The inauguration of this new multimodal platform is taking place in a context where the World Bank estimates that the Douala-Ndjamena corridor "holds about 35% of the GDP of these two countries and supplies about 20% of the population of Chad and 35% of that of Cameroon". According to the 2021 statistical yearbook of the Ministry of Transport, 900,000 tonnes of goods transited the Douala-Ndjamena corridor in 2020. The quantities in 2019 reached one million tonnes.
