<p>Construction of a transmission linethat connects the power networks ofTanzania and Kenya. This projectincludes the section of 414km of400kV transmission line from Singidato Namanga via Arusha. The designcapacity is 2,000MW.</p>

<p>Construction of a transmission line that connects the power networks of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya. This project includes the section of 670km of 400kV transmission line from Iringa to Shinyanga via Dodoma and Singida.&Acirc; The&Acirc; design capacity of this section is 2000MW.</p>

<p>The Serenje-Nakonde project road runs in a north eastern direction from Serenje in Zambia&#39;s Central Province to Nakonde (at the border post between Zambia and Tanzania) in the Northern Province covering a total distance of 611.5 km. The road is divided in 3 links: Link 1: Serenje to Mpika (238.3 km), Link 2: Mpika to Chinsali (164.6 k), Link 3: Chinsali to Nakonde (208.6 km) The Serenje-Nakonde road is part of the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN Link 15) as well as the Trans-African Highway Nr 4.</p>

<p>The proposed Sambangalou dam project entails the construction of a gravity dam, with a 128 MW capacity, and a 3.8 km3 reservoir. The dam is located in Senegal, 930 km upstream from the mouth of the Gambia river and about 25 km south of Kédougou. The reservoir overlaps Senegal and Guinea. The project now has two components, i.e. Sambangalou Dam and an interconnection transmission line which will link the Sambangalou and Kaleta dams to the electric grid of the four member countries.</p>

<p>The project was formerly part of larger OMVG Energy project involving fuoir countries (with Kaleta dam in Guinea and interconnecting power grid), however it split in 2011 after Guinea decided to develop Kaleta dam as a standalone.</p>

<p>A 147&Acirc; MW hydropower plant will be constructred on the Ruzizi River. It will provide electricity supply to Rwanda, Burundi and the&Acirc; DRC.&Acirc; It entails the construction of a run-of-river dam between DRC and Rwanda, downstream from the Ruzizi II hydropower dam, a 147&Acirc; MW power plant and a distribution station. Power will be transmitted to the three countries from the Kamanyola substation by 220 kV transmission lines.</p>
<p>The Ruzizi III project will significantly transform the electricity sectors in the countries concerned. Its implementation will contribute to:&Acirc; </p>
<p>(i) optimal exploitation of the Ruzizi River's energy potential to improve security of supplies and access to electricity; and</p>
<p>(ii) the strengthening of regional economic integration by creating a market for electricity.</p>

<p>Construction of Ras Adjir One-Stop Border Post between Tunisia and Libya on the Trans-Maghreb Highway.</p>

<p>Construction of Oujda Tlemcen One-Stop Border Post between Morocco and Algeria, which lies on the Trans-African Highway 1 Corridor.</p>

<p>Construction of Ouidah/Hillacondji/Sanveekondji One-Stop Border Post between Togo and Benin. This part of the project relates specifically to the facilities in Togo.</p>

<p>The Ouesso-Bangui-Ndjamena road is a link in the Pointe Noire-Brazzaville / Kinshasa-Bangui-Ndjamena multimodal transport corridor. The road is also part of the network of the priority program of the consensual master plan of transport in Central Africa (PDCAT). The corridor connects the capitals of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Chad. It also provides the CAR and Chad with a second access to the sea.</p>

<p>A highway network of approximately 1310 km, which starts from Ouesso in North Congo to MbaA¯koro (near Moundou) in the South of Chad while passing through Bangui in Central African Republic. It comprises the following two sections: (i) the Ouesso-Bangui section in the equatorial forest to the South, which is about 640 km long and lies across Congo and the CAR; and (ii) the Bangui-MbaA¯koro section in the savannah woodland to the North, which is about 670 km long and lies in CAR and Chad territory;</p>

<p>The study of the Ntem River Bridge is part of the Kribi-Campo-Bata maritime route linking the port of Kribi to Cameroon and Bata in Equatorial Guinea. The inter-capital connections study will identify missing links and determine the technical and economic feasibility of the construction of a crossing structure and the development of a single border control post at the border of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It will make technical, legal and financial recommendations for the management and operation of the Yaounde-Kribi-Bata-Libreville development and corridor.</p>
