Upgrading of the 240 km single carriageway road from Garoua to Boulai to N’Gaoundéré in Cameroon.

<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 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>Construction of the Galafi One-Stop Border Post, between Djibouti and Ethiopia, which lies on the Djibouti Corridor.</p>

<p>In northeastern Morocco with the road network:</p>
<p>- Bifurcation-Project origin :Taza-Oujda freeway connection; - Oujda Nord interchange (RN2): also provides access to Sa&iuml;dia via RN2; - Isly interchange (Nouvelle ville); - A full-lane A full-lane toll plaza; - A service service area.</p>

<p>The Government of Liberia"’s development goals for ICT and Telecommunications are to modernize networks and create added value through the effective utilization of ICTs that make use of different technology solutions. Through this policy agenda and recognizing the essential social and economic potentials of broadband connectivity, the Government of Liberia including its development partners and local industry players facilitated Liberia"’s connection to the global community through the ACE Communication Network.  </p>

<p>Liberia has since 2013 had access to broadband interconnection to the rest of the world via ACE. However, this connectivity does not extend outside the capital, Monrovia, since service providers transmission links does not have the necessary capacity required for broadband services.</p>

<p>The proposed development of a National ICT Backbone is a key initiative expected to provide the necessary connectivity infrastructure which will carry the volume of data traffic that is projected in the coming years and increase the diffusion of broadband access in order to reap the development benefits.</p>

<p>Establishing Forbes/ Machipanda One-Stop Border Post (OSBP). Zimbabwe has prepared improvement plans for both Forbes and Nyamapanda that have been ready since 2005 but have not been implemented. The improvement plans envisage the expansion of the border control area and building of additional facilities and infrastructure. The existing Forbes border post building is currently under renovation and expansion to accommodate commercial office and increasing space in the travellers&#39; clearance hall.</p>

<p>The degradation of the Niger River Basin ecosystem may ultimately compromise the existence of local populations and deteriorate their living conditions. This is why the development of the Fomi dam is the best alternative for sustainable development in the Upper Niger, a guarantee of safeguarding the natural resources of the river basin.</p>
