<p>The AXIS Project aims to facilitate the development of an African internet infrastructure through policy and regulatory reform, capacity building and technical assistance. Development of an African internet infrastructure refers to the establishment of regional internet exchange points (IXPs) and internet carriers.</p>

<p>The AXIS Project is being implemented through two phases. Phase I consists of capacity building to support the establishment of national IXPs through providing a series of two workshops for stakeholders and the Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) on  I) best practice and benefits of IXP and II) technical assistance through workshops which will cover the technical and administrative skills needed to set up, operate, and administer an IXP.</p>

<p>Phase II focuses on supporting establishment of Regional IXP and Regional Internet Carrier through provisioning Capacity building workshops on best practice and benefits of setting up RIXP/IC and providing technical assistance.</p>

<p>The AXIS Project is a flagship project of the African Regional Action Plan on Knowledge Economy (ARAPKE) endorsed by the African Union Executive Council.</p>

<p>Establishing the Zobue/ Mwanza OSBP which lies on the Tete/ Nacala Corridor, with Zobue on the Mozambican side and Mwanza on the Malawian side.</p>

<p>The project road runs North from the turn-off to Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) to the North of Lilongwe to the turn-off to the district centre of Mzimba in Northern Malawi for approximately 234 km. The road starts at KIA junction and travels North via Kasungu and Jenda where it ends at the turn-off to Mzimba Boma. The section between the KIA turn-off to Jenda was constructed in the early 1980s and a portion of this section between Chatoloma and Jenda was resealed in 2005. The road is used by both motorised and non-motorised vehicles, in particular between Lilongwe and Kasungu where there are many trading centres and towns along the route. Between Lilongwe and the Kachinda turn-off to the S113 the road traverses mainly rolling to flat terrain with several river crossings including three high level bridges. It passes the following trading centres:</p>

<ul>
<li>Lumbadzi Trading Centre</li>
<li>Mponela Trading Centre</li>
<li>Madisi Trading Centre</li>
<li>Bua Trading Centre</li>
<li>Chinkhoma Trading Centre</li>
<li>Dwangwa Trading Centre</li>
<li>Phomwa Trading Centre</li>
<li>Bowe Trading Centre</li>
<li>Chatoloma Trading Centre</li>
<li>Nkhamenya Trading Centre</li>
<li>Jenda Trading Centre</li>
</ul>

<p>North of the Kachindamoto turn-off the terrain becomes hilly and the road passes through the Chimaliro Forest Reserve before reaching Jenda. North of Jenda there are a few trading centres and settlements but with far fewer people seen on the road than South of the Kachinda turn-off and in the vicinity of Jenda. The road passes through the Vipya forest reserve before reaching the turn-of to Mzimba.</p>

The project forms part of the upgrading of the 1,200 km of narrow gauge railway between Abidjan and Ouagadougou. In particular it involves the section in Ivory Coast, from Abidjan to the border with Burkina Fasso.

<p>The project commences at the port city of Mombasa and covers a distance of 480 km to Nairobi and then 120km to Naivasha. It then proceeds 500km westwards to the Kenya/Uganda border through Kisumu. On the Ugandan side, the project covers the 250km Malaba - Kampala section and the spur from Tororo to Gulu via Soroti </p>

<p>The aim is to provide solutions to the problems of interrupted navigation on the Oubangui and consequently on the Congo, during the period</p>
<p>and the supply of electricity to the CAR, North Congo and the DRC, through the construction of a dam to regulate the flow of the the Oubangui river and generate at the Palambo site, around about 60 km upstream of Bangui. The characteristics of the scenario selected of the solutions proposed by SOGREAH in 1990 were as follows : - Normal reservoir level: 361 m Dam height (approx.): 18 m Surface area: 606x106 m&sup2; - Length</p>
<p>(approx.): 1,200 m - Minimum downstream flow to be reached at Zinga (70 km downstream of downstream of Bangui): 920 m3/s - Storage volume storage volume: 2,370 million m3 Power: 30 MW - Number of generating units Number of generating units: 4 bulbous (unit flow rate: 94 m3/s) The plan is to s to carry out studies of : APS APD DAO.</p>

<p>The railway section is about 1,000 km running from Mtwara Port at the Indian Ocean to Mbambabay/ (Ameliabay) in Lake Nyasa with Spurs connecting to Mineral fields of Mchuchuma coal and Liganga iron ore mines in the south west of Tanzania. </p>
