A novel approach to road maintenance is being seen in the central African country of Gabon. Some €2.36 million ($2.71 million) in technical assistance is being funded through the 1116 European Union, with work being carried out by an international consortium, which includes Louis Berger. Through this contract Louis Berger will train around 20 Gabon-based small- and medium-sized businesses, providing knowledge and capabilities needed to maintain and monitor the country’s roads long term.

The contract, part of Gabon’s Sector Governance Support Program, is the second that Louis Berger has won in the last eight years. Between 2007 and 2012, the company also was involved in the program’s previous phase, providing institutional capacity building for public and private sector organisations working to improve the maintenance of Gabon’s road network.
