In 2019, Cerema undertook a study on behalf of the French Development Agency (AFD) as part of the « Yaoundé Cœur de Ville » project, whose aim was to improve traffic and mobility within the city. The study focused on road safety within the redevelopment of three major crossroads.
Road Safety Project in Madagascar
On behalf of the French Development Agency (AFD), Cerema delivered an engineering project in Madagascar, ensuring that road safety was incorporated into the ring road development in Antananarivo, which would bypass the east and north-east of the city.
AFD Cerema framework agreement
The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and Cerema have signed in 2020 a framework contract to strengthen the expertise provided on official development assistance projects supported by France.
Twinning initiatives funded by the European Union

Twinning in Morocco (2018 - 2020)
Cerema supported the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines and Environment (MEM) in drawing up its national energy strategy to secure its energy supply, guarantee access to energy, and protect the environment. Cerema assisted with the evaluation and implementation of insulation thermal element regulations for buildings in Morocco, as well as energy performance contracts.
Help improving planning and approval techniques for road safety and airports
Twinning in Algeria (January 2016 - November 2018)
Cerema assisted the CTTP, Algeria’s national public works technical control body, in analysing its high-traffic road network, bolstering regulations on highways equipment, and improving inspections of airport infrastructure.
Assistance in managing the highways network and civil engineering works
Twinning in Algeria (May 2015 - August 2017)
Cerema assisted the CTTP, Algeria’s national public works technical control body, in setting up a preventative maintenance system for highway infrastructure, based on creating a database of highways and civil engineering works.
