Summary
The IXP project is to keep in local internet communication local. It aims at building the technical capacity of the beneficiary country in managing Internet Exchange Point and to provide, when necessary, equipment needed for the establishment of the Internet exchange point.
Description

<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 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>

Summary
<p>National Road No. 01 stretches from Algiers to Mali and Niger over more than 2400 km. It has been twinned for approximately 500 km (between Algiers and Laghouat) and includes a branch towards Tunisia, continuing all the way to Lagos and N'Djamena. The Trans-Saharan route begins from the East/West Highway in the Wilaya of Blida (located 50 km west of the capital Algiers) and extends to Ain Guezzal at the border with the Republic of Niger, covering around 2400 km, with a branch extending to the Republic of Mali.</p>
<p>The current state of the Trans-Saharan route is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>From the junction with the East/West Highway to the northern limit of the Wilaya of Ghardaia, approximately 580 km, the road is twinned. For 53 km (between the junction with the East/West Highway and the town of Berrouaghia), it has the characteristics of a highway (the works are nearing completion);</li>
<li>From the northern limit of the Wilaya of Ghardaia to the town of El Ghol&eacute;a (El Menea), over 268 km, twinning studies are ongoing, conducted by an Algerian engineering firm;</li>
<li>From the southern limit of Ghardaia to Ain Guezzam at the border with Niger, approximately 1257 km, 342 km are under preservation works, while the remaining 915 km require preservation operations (not yet scheduled).</li>
</ul>
<p>The goal is to increase the capacity of the Trans-Saharan route by twinning the remaining 1525 km. It is also noteworthy that the entire length of the Trans-African road is paved. As a prime example of a trans-African project, contributions from African entities to the development and modernization of this axis are highly desired.</p>
<p><strong>Objective and Rationale for the Project:</strong></p>
<p>This North-South corridor facilitates regional integration. It offers African countries, particularly those in the Sahel, the possibility of access to the Mediterranean Sea and the use of Algerian ports, especially in their trade with European countries. The Trans-Saharan road is connected to the East/West Highway in the Wilaya of Blida (about 50 km west of the capital Algiers). It thus facilitates East/West exchanges, particularly with neighboring countries Morocco and Tunisia.</p>
