<p>Strategically located half-way down the coast of Namibia, with direct access to principal shipping routes, Walvis Bay is a natural gateway for international trade. Walvis Bay is Namibia&#39;s largest commercial port, receiving approximately 3,000 vessel calls each year and handling about 5 million tonnes of cargo. In order to deal with even higher levels of throughput, cargo-handling facilities have been improved, and Namibia Port Authority (Namport) remains committed to infrastructure development, in line with Namport&#39;s Mission to provide efficient and effective port and related services.</p>

<p>The project will expand the Port of Walvis Bay"’s container handling as well as bulk handling capacity ahead of demand by the construction of a 30 hectare large new modern container terminal on reclaimed land with 600m of quay wall length designed for a water depth of 16.5m alongside but dredged to 14.0m initially. In so doing the current container terminal will be converted back to a multipurpose terminal capable of handling more bulk and break bulk cargo.</p>

Upgrading of the access road to the Port of Kigoma (Tanzania) by the Lake Tanganyika.

<p>Establish and protect fenced forest areas around wells using clean new and renewable energies to extract water. Installing pumps on a number of 15 pastoral wells in Sahel Al-Jafara in northwestern Libya, and they are operated by solar energy or wind energy for the purpose of watering animals and establishing forest areas around the wells that are among its priorities to establish natural reserves for different animals that are distinguished in the region in addition to developing the area pastorally.</p><p>The project serves a planned infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is less than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector planned asset.</p><p>The other sector such as:</p><ul><li>The agricultural sector (increasing vegetation and combating desertification)</li><li>Tourism and leisure sector (establishment of green spaces and parks)</li><li>Environmental sector and facing climate change (preserving wildlife such as migratory birds and animals)</li></ul>

<p>The project involves upgrading of ports on Rivers Congo, Obangui and Sangha in Congo, Central African Republic and DRC.</p>

<p>Transborder Submarine Fiber PoPs and Regional Smart Hub Facility and Data center. Kenya already has several sub-marine fibers landing in Mombasa and has already done terrestrial fiber connecting the sub-marine cable to the borders of the other partner countries ( Busia border for Uganda, Mandera border for Somalia, Moyale border for Ethiopia, Nadapal border for South sudan, Lunga-lunga, Namanga and Holili border for Tanzania). The inter-connectivity infrastructure at the border points comprising 400 Gbps PoPs and Smart Hub data centre in Mombasa are lacking.</p>

<p>The project is a major Terrestrial Broadband Backbone designed to convey the excess bandwidth capacity from the shores to the hinterland and also provide an alternative gateway to Europe through Algiers as well as provide access point to landlocked Countries. It is also one of the presidential infrastructure champion Initiative (PICI) 2010 - 2015 of NEPAD aimed at accelerating socioeconomic diversification of benefiting Countries.</p>
