(Business in Cameroon) - Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi, the Cameroonian minister of public works announced to the country’s parliamentarians that innovative products will be used for road maintenance in the country as of 2018. He said this while defending his ministry’s budget plan for 2018.

Indeed, on April 19, 2016, Philémon Yang, Cameroon’s prime minister published a decree “bringing into full effect the tender call standard for the procurement of contracts for road maintenance and renovation with innovative products or not”.

This decree allowed for the use of five new products to maintain earth roads in the country, in order to reduce road maintenance costs and address the shortage of laterite quarries.

These products are Con-Aid/CBR Plus, made in South Africa; Rocamix made by the Chinese firm Beijing Medicines & Health products IMP; System Consolid’s products made by a Spanish firm; Pavement Composite Technology fabricated in the USA by Integrated Traffic System Inc.; and Carboncor, a South African product used for cold paving.

According to road experts, for 5 years, maintenance will not be needed for earth roads serviced with such products.
