The government of Rwanda and Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency have signed a financing agreement of USDD 100,000 to conduct a comprehensive Feasibility Study for the development of roadside stations in Rwanda. The signing ceremony took place in Kigali, at the Ministry of Infrastructure.
Eng. Patricie Uwase, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Infrastructure signed on behalf of the government of Rwanda and Capt. Dieudonne Dukundane, Executive Secretary, signed on behalf of CCTTFA.
The feasibility study will assess how roadside stations can provide rest stops for cargo trucks, reduce driver fatigue, secure parking yards and be used by other motorists as refreshing stops. In addition, these facilities will not only improve safety of drivers but also enhance development of local communities.
