The representatives of this company, who are going to elaborate the design documentation and supervise the construction works, discussed with the members of the project implementation team, employed by the Southern Regional Development Agency (ADR Sud).
According to the Financing Agreement signed with KfW Bank, ADR Sud is to provide expertise within the project in the procurement procedures, expenditure and to ensure visibility of the project.
