The sensitization campaign recently reached Lower Mbot, engaging community members, students, and pupils in discussions on pressing social and environmental issues. Participants were educated on the prevention of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the importance of road safety measures, and the need to safeguard national patrimony. The sessions also highlighted the dangers of illegal logging and the growing threat of pollution, encouraging collective responsibility in protecting both people and the environment.
As the tarring of the Ring Road by MAG SARL progresses, new challenges emerge with the improved infrastructure. Increased road quality often leads to higher travel speeds, raising concerns about accidents involving bike riders and drivers. To address this, measures are being introduced to curb reckless driving and ensure that communities adapt safely to the changes brought by modernized road conditions. This was the reason behind the massive sensitization in Lower Mbot in Mbot village on December 17, 2025.
The Ring Road construction project, funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB), is widely expected to transform lives across the Northwest Region. By improving connectivity, the project will enhance trade, mobility, and access to essential services, while also fostering economic growth and social development.
This sensitization initiative was organized by the Cameroon Development Network (CDN) in partnership with AfDB, the Ministry of Public Works (MINTP), and MAG SARL. Together, these institutions are ensuring that communities are not only beneficiaries of the road project but also active participants in shaping safer, healthier, and more sustainable futures.
