<p>The proposed Kaléta dam project entails the construction of a gravity dam, with a 240 MW capacity. The Kaléta site is located in Guinea, 115 km northeast of Conakry and 130 km upstream of the mouth of the Konkouré River.</p>

<p>This project was previously part of the larger Gambia River Basin Development Organisation (OMVG) project involving the four countries, namely The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal. Guinea, however, decided to develop Kaléta as a stand-alone. Interconnection to other OMVG countries remains intended in future.</p>

<p>The project will have the following characteristics:</p>

<ul>
<li>Storage hydropower plant with 240 MW of hydropower capacity</li>
<li>Net average generation: 660 GWh/year</li>
<li>Gravity dam with maximum height: 22 m, crest length: 1060 m, reservoir storage: 23 million m3.</li>
</ul>

The Isiolo - Lokichar Highway is 416 km long. A 49 km section is already
upgraded under a separate Isiolo-Moyale project. The section to be constructed
under LAPSSET project is therefore 367 km. Currently no direct road link exists
along the proposed routing, but some segments have unpaved road tracks. The
road will be largely new construction requiring paving, drainage and road
furniture. The road is intended to divert transit traffic from Mombasa Port and
the Northern Corridor via Uganda to Juba in South Sudan.
The design standards adopted are an asphalt paved
single carriageway highway with carriageway width 7m and 2.0m wide paved
shoulders. General design speed is 100 - 120 km/h and maximum gradients 3%
except for 20km mountain section with 60 -90 km/h design speed and 10-12%
gradients. The road section commences
east of Isiolo town, proceeds north along Isiolo Moyale highway for 49km before
branching west at Lerata to Wamba , Baragoi, across Suguta Valley to Lokori and
Lokichar located along the Kitale - Lodwar - South Sudan highway. The road traverses a fairly easy flat to
rolling terrain except for the 20km mountainous escarpment section descending
to the 28km flat floor of the Suguta valley.
The notable bridge structures cross several perennial and dry season
rivers and the Suguta floodplain. The
key junctions are at the intersection with Isiolo-Moyale highway and the
Kenya-Sudan highway where grade separated interchanges are proposed. In order
to cater for future increase in capacity, the road reserve to be acquired for
the project is 100m wide which will allow for construction of a future second
carriageway.

<p>The design for the LAPSSET higway components provide for a heavy transportation route from Lamu to South Sudan through Garissa, Isiolo, Kisima and Nginyang to meet the existing Kenya - South Sudan road at Lokichar, from where it continues to the border at Nadapal. The Lamu - Isiolo - Lokichar - Lodwar - Nadapal section measures about 1,300 km. The Northern Branch of the corridor to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia is the Isiolo- Moyale section which is also part of LAPSSET Corridor road. Construction on this section has been completed and the One Stop Border Post (OSBP) construction is currently underway.</p>

<p>The project is divided into four sections as follows:</p>

<ul>
<li>Lamu - Garissa  Road -263km</li>
<li>Garissa-Isiolo Road - 305km</li>
<li>Isiolo - Nginyang Road - 212km</li>
<li>Nginyang - Lokichar - Nadapal - 533km</li>
</ul>

<p>NB: The Government of Kenya is currently working on the re-alignment of Isiolo-Nginyang-Lokichar Section). The new aligned section takes the route: Isiolo-Lareta-Maralal-Baragoi-Lokori-Lokichar). Other sections remain the same.</p>

<p>The road runs in a north-easterly direction from Harare to the Nyamanpanda Border Post (between Zimbabwe and Mozambique), covering a total distance of 278km. See this project on an interactive GIS map (with Google Earth satellite imagery and geo-referenced photographs) at www.tmsagis.co.za.</p&gt;

<p>The Harare-Nyamapanda road is part of the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN Link NR 25) as well as the Trans-African Highway NR 9 and the rehabilitation of Marehwa-Nyamapanda is a section of this project, which covers a distance of 172km.</p>

VICMED Project is a multimodal transport project to link Lake Victoria and the Mediterranean Sea. The project aims to connect countries via an environmentally friendly, relatively low-cost transport route that is safe, secure, and energy efficient. It supports trade, tourism, and regional integration while providing access to international seas and boosting economic development. The project was launched by the Egyptian Government and NEPAD Agency in 2013. Phases include Pre-Feasibility, Feasibility Study 1 (2019), and upcoming Phase 2 studies.

<p>This project forms part of the ELTAM transmission interconnector which connects the power markets of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Mali. In particular, it involves the reinforcement of the Libya part of the 340 km / 500 kV Egypt to Libya section from the Egypt border to Tobruk.</p>

<p>Construction of road sections on Douala-N’Gaoundéré-N&#39;Djamena road (Chad).</p>

<p>Rehabilitation and upgrading of the 197 km of road which would be the first toll road in Tanzania (First 100 km 6 lanes and then 4 lanes). The project requires the construction of a new road, adjacent to the existing road, that will give drivers the choice between paying for a superior toll road, constructed to expressway standards, or making use of the existing road. The project comprises four and six lane carriageways, 8 interchanges, 7 toll plazas and weigh bridges as well as a number of bridges.</p>
