<p>The Trans Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) is a main gas transmission pipeline from Calabar in Nigeria to Beni Saf in Algeria. The dimension is 48" with a design pressure of 100 barg, which gives an overall transport capacity of 20 bcm/year (60mcm/day). The overall length of the pipeline is ca 4400 km, of which 1037 km in Nigeria, 841 km in Niger, 2303 km in Algeria and 220km Subsea from Algeria to Spain.  </p>

<p>The pipeline route follows the route of the Trans-Nigerian pipeline from Calabar to Kano in Nigeria. It is expected that the pipeline will be connected to the Nigerian gas transmission system. In Niger, it is expected that there will be off-take points in the south for power production plants and in the north close to the mines for power production and potentially for direct use in the vehicles and machines used in the mining activities, where gas could replace oil. In Algeria, the pipeline follows the Trans-Saharan highway to Hassi R´Mel, where the pipeline will be connected to the northern part of the integrated gas transmission system. From Hassi R´Mel, the pipeline will follow a number of existing pipelines to Beni Saf. The middle part of the Algerian section will run in the same horizontal level as pipelines from In Salah and In Armenas. More than half of the pipeline section is hence to be constructed in well-known terrain and conditions in respectively Nigeria and Algeria. Only the middle section, from Kano in Nigeria to the south of Algeria, via Niger, is to be considered as new terrain for large diameter pipeline construction. Finally a 220km subsea pipeline would be constructed from Beni saf in Algeria to Spain in order to supply gas to the European market.</p>

<p>The governments of Kenya and Uganda and Rwanda have committed to the development of a standard gauge railway that links the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya. This project entails the section from Tororo to Gulu to Pakwach in Uganda.</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>

<p>The duplication of the RN06 between the town of Mascara with high agricultural potential and that of Bechar in the south and the RN 50 between Bechar and the town of Tindouf to continue to the border with Mauritania. This motorway axis can extend to the town of Choum in Mauritania.</p><p>The project serves an existing infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is more than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector existing asset.</p><p><br></p>

<p>LAPSSET Standard Gauge Railways (SGR) is the fourth key component of the corridor. It will start from Lamu to lsiolo and then branches at lsiolo to South Sudan and lsiolo to Ethiopia while another section will run from Nairobi to lsiolo, and the latter would bridge LAPSSET corridor and Northern corridor. The costs for construction of LAPSSET Corridor Railway and procurement of rolling stocks are estimated at approximately US$ 7,100 million comprising of  civil works US$ 3,480 million, tracks US$ 1,200 million, rolling stock US$ 1,220 million, signal and telecom US$ 520 million, buildings and other infrastructure USD$ 300 million.. The railway has overall ElRR of 15.6% for all sections combined and is above the threshold of 12% thus feasible.</p>

<p>Feasibility study and preliminary engineering designs of LAPSSET Standard Gauge Railway were completed. So far, bilateral agreements were signed between Kenya and Ethiopia and South Sudan in respect to this railway development. Ethiopia is currently undertaking the development of its side Moyale-Addis Ababa in three different stages.</p>

<ul>
<li>Construction of Addis Ababa-Modjo section of about 120 km part of the Addis-Djibouti railway is complete</li>
<li>Pre-Feasibility study has been completed for Modjo-Hawassa-Moyale section, and funding being sought to undertake feasibility and preliminary design. </li>
</ul>

<p>The project entails the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a new road new bridge and the construction of new access roads to the bridge. It further involves operation and maintenance of the old Samora Machel bridge, and rehabilitation, maintenance and operation of associated toll roads. The new bridge will cross the river at Benga, about six kilometres downstream from the Samora Machel bridge. Benga is the site of the coal mining concession awarded to the Australian company, Riversdale.</p>

<p>The aim is to carry out technical and economic feasibility studies, the results of which must enable the decision-making data to be decided on the integration of the electricity market of Morocco and Mauritania in the context of the integration of the Maghreb market. Also allow visibility on the cost of this interconnection and the potential of its financing closing.</p><p>Study to shed light on technical and economic data on the importance of the inteconnexion of electric reseaxu of Marco and Mauritania<br></p><p>The project does not serve an existing or planned infrastructure asset of another sector. There is no interconnection between Morocco and Mauritania today, which weakens the chances of regional integration.</p>

<p> Construction of the Tanzania section of the Tanzania-Malawi transmission interconnector. Tanzania section consists of construction of a 400kV interconnector from Tanzania (KyelaMbeya) to the Songwe border post at the frontier with Malawi. (TOR feasibility study for Tanzania Malawi Interconnector)</p>
<p> </p>

<p>This project involves a feasibility study for the 400 kV Malawi-Tanzania inter-connector, which will run from Nkhoma, in Malawi, to Tanzania through Songwe. The Malawi&acirc;&euro;"Tanzania link will interconnect the SAPP with the Eastern African Power&Acirc; Pool, making Malawi a key player in African power trade.</p>
