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>Implementation of Sudan section of the 500 kV Ethiopia to Sudan transmission interconnection line and the associated high voltage substations based on the conclusions of the final feasibility. The Project comprises a power transmission interconnector between Ethiopia and Sudan, including 580km of new 500kV transmission lines, of which approximately 564km will be in Sudan, terminating in Khartoum.</p>
Description

<p> Construction of a 500 kV transmission line and the associated substations that connects the power networks of Ethiopia and Sudan to facilitate trading in electricity and promote power systems stability. The Project also includes two new, 500 kV capacitated substations at Rabak and Jebel Aulia (both in Sudan), and power line bay extensions at the following existing substations: Grand Renaissance (500kV Ethiopia), Rabak (220kV, Sudan) and Jebel Aulia (220kV, Sudan).</p>

Project Risk

<ul>
<li>Environmental Risk: Potential impact during the construction and operational phases relating to biodiversity and ecosystems (including avifauna), material use as it impacts on soil and groundwater recharge as well as solid waste and wastewater pollution impact on water bodies</li>
<li>Socio-economic Risk: Potential impact during the construction and operational phases relating to quality of air and dust emissions, noise and other nuisance as well as the impact on tourism and cultural heritage due to visual and aesthetic impacts. Resettlement necessary for project-affected communities. Furthermore, possible adverse community health and safety effects from electromagnetic fields.</li>
<li>Construction Risk: A comprehensive set of risks have been identified, including potential degradation and damage of the existing structures including any archaeological materials and terrain due to excavation,</li>
<li>Operation Risk: Collision of birds with conductors, permanent interference between the project and local habitats as well as air emissions from maintenance equipment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Feasibility Study highlights two sets of project-related risks in the ESMP, namely construction risk and operation risk. - adverse physical and/or economic impacts, temporary or permanent displacement, as well as temporary or permanent loss of assets, facilities or access to resource such as crops, woodlots, grazing lands, wells, businesses and services, etc. Among the risks identified, the Project considered the social risk of resettlement as being particularly serious</p>
