Dobraja expressed optimism that with the availability of more road networks in the country Liberians will gain access to remote parts of the country in the shortest possible time, something which, she noted, will also reduce transportation cost thereby leading to economic gains for the country.
In an interview with a team of reporters in Gbarnga, Bong County during an assessment of the Road Access Management Project (LIBRAMP), the World Bank official noted that seeing a tangible result of funds committed for the development of Liberia brings relief to the donor and the confidence to provide further assistance for the development of the nation.
Dobraja congratulated the contractors and monitoring consultants for efforts exerted in implementing a significant portion of the job, but cautioned them to ensure that the job is done to quality level.
LIBRAMP is intended to support efforts to reduce transportation cost along the road leading from Monrovia to the Guinea border and to maintain the road over a ten-year period.
The first component of the project is aimed at designing, rehabilitating and maintaining the road through a ten year Output and Performance-based Road Contract (OPRC), for the two segments of the road beginning from Monrovia, Red Light to Gbarnga, and from Gbarnga to Ganta to the Guinea border.
The second component is aimed at enhancing consultant services, operating cost and training under which a consultancy firm will be hired to perform a Monitoring Consultancy (MC) role for the OPRC, among others.
