Presently, the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Management Authority (ALCoMA) is being established as part
of the project ‘Study of the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Development’ financed by the African
Development Bank. The basic idea is to create a corridor management governance structure with more
authority and resources than ALCO.
5.3.5 Infrastructure: financing, planning and programming
The establishment of ALCoMA foresees that after the end of the support of the African Development
Bank, which includes financing of one-year of operations of ALCoMA, the Participating Member
Countries (PMC) through ECOWAS will take full responsibility for the long-term financing of its
operations from other resources.
5.3.6 Corridor performance monitoring and dissemination
Corridor performance monitoring and dissemination mainly takes place at project level. There is still
no uniform observatory systemwhich collects, processes, publishes and disseminates performance on
a regular basis.
