The French project title is du projet « Un pont, une route » or travaux d’aménagement et d’élargissement de la Route des Niayes et le Programme d’amélioration des accès routiers routiers à Dakar or Le viaduc de Cambéréne, de la Route des Niayes.

  2. One source suggests that the loan agreement may have been signed in early 2023. This issue warrants further investigation.
  3. The Chinese Loans to Africa (CLA) Database, managed by the Boston University Global Development Policy (GDP) Center, claims that Bank of China is the lender of record rather than China Development Bank (see https://www.bu.edu/gdp/files/2023/08/GCI_PB_019_CLA-2023-FIN.pdf). AidData has not independently corroborated this claim. All of the underlying sources that AidData relies upon refer to China Development Bank as the lender of record.
