Summary
The construction of a multipurpose dam that will include the expansion of irrigation of agriculture and the supply of 90 to 100 MW of hydropower that would be connected to the West Africa Power Pool (WAPP). The project will preserve the ecosystem of the Niger River Basin, generating electricity, developing irrigated agriculture, fish farming and river transport.
Description

<p>Construction of a dam and hydroelectric plant of 90 MW on the Niandan River in Guinea with a reservoir of about 5 billion m3 of water.</p>

<p>The project has two components, namely:<br />
- Strengthen the institutional and financial capacity of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) to sustainably fulfill its basic mandate; and<br />
- Facilitate evidence-based decision-making in the process of preparing Fomi&#39;s multipurpose dams and in parallel strengthening of ABN&#39;s capabilities through its direct involvement in this complex project.</p>

<p>The Fomi Dam initiative has been continued in two related projects:<br />
First, an APL-1 project on water resources development and sustainable ecosystem management (WRD SEM) funded by the World Bank (P093806) and secondly, the Niger River Basin Management Project. It is unclear if the APL-1 project is still active through a follow-up phase which might likely be聽named APL-2.<br />
The Niger River Basin Management Project was approved for CIWA funding in November 2014 and aims to strengthen the NBA&#39;s capacity to prepare for Fomi in two phases, namely:<br />
a) facilitate dialogue between stakeholders in Guinea, Mali and the NBA to develop a roadmap on how to proceed with the preparation of the Fomi dam project; and<br />
b) Complementary studies to the main preparatory studies supported by WRD SEM (APL-1).</p>

Summary
<p>The drastic fall in the availability of fresh water in the Lake Chad basin has led to a volume of the lake by 95% from1963 to the present day. At the same time the degradation of the Lake Chad ecosystem Chad ecosystem following the droughts of 1973-74 and 1985-86 led to erosion of the watershed and and silting of Lake Chad and its Chad and its main tributaries, the Chari and Logone rivers.The actual rate of silting and sedimentation of Lake Chad is unknown.However, it has been estimated that the lake could receive around 2.8 million tonnes of sediment by rivers each year, and approximately 150 tonnes of wind-generated per km&sup2; of lake per year. Due to silting and sedimentation in the lake, it has become difficult to navigate,especially during low-water periods.Other obstacles to navigation in Lake Chad include invasive plants. The 14th Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the LCBC,held in N'Djamena in April 2012, approved the following measures as a means of improving availability of water in the Chari River and Lake Chad:</p>
<p>i. Improve the hydraulic capacity of the Chari in order to limit losses in flood plains; </p>
<p>ii. Develop Lake Chad and its main tributaries through dredging and desilting to ensure a better distribution of water in the</p>
<p>the various basins of the lake.</p>
<p>There is therefore a need for the intervention strategy should begin by acquiring knowledge,as well as the need for observation and short-term measurements.</p>

Summary
<p>The main objective is to provide connectivity to Mozambique so that they can have access to sea cables of EASSy and SEACOM landed at Dar es salaam and also Tanzania will have access to sea cables landed in Mozambique and therefore will create resilience of international connectivity in SADC and EAC regions.</p>
Description

<p>Government of Tanzania constructed a National ICT Broadband Backbone (NICTBB) connecting all Regions in Tanzania and cross boarder connectivity to Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The NICTBB has a total length of 7,910Km. The aim of NICTBB is to connect all neighboring countries. Now the government is planning to connect Mozambique so that to enable access of submarine cables landed in both countries. This connect will increase the reliability of the sea cables in the SADC and EAC regions.</p>

Summary
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Amasis MT Pro',serif;">The VICMED project is a strategic initiative aimed at establishing a navigational line connecting Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea through the Nile River. This ambitious project, championed by Egypt and approved by the African Union in 2013, seeks to foster socio-economic integration, sustainable multimodal transport, and enhanced trade among the Nile Basin countries.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Amasis MT Pro',serif;">The project's objectives include poverty reduction, economic development, and improved global economic participation for the region. Key activities involve creating a safe, efficient waterway, building capacity for river navigation management, and promoting cross-border trade and tourism. The project emphasizes environmental balance, gender responsiveness, and inclusive development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Amasis MT Pro',serif;">Organizationally, COMESA coordinates between the champion country (Egypt), the Project Management Unit, and other footprint countries. A Steering Committee with representatives from transport and water sectors oversees activities, while National Committees in each country represent stakeholders. The Regional Project Management Unit in Egypt manages operations and capacity building.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Amasis MT Pro',serif;">The VICMED project is part of the PIDA Priority Action Plan 2 and aligns with various African development initiatives, including the AU's Agenda 2063 and AfDB's High-5 priorities. It supports climate change mitigation through low-carbon transport. The project has completed its prefeasibility study (funded by Egypt) and Phase 1 of the feasibility study (funded by AfDB), with Phase 2 currently in progress.</span></p>

Project Risk

<p>The main risks associated with the proposed studies relate to:</p>
<p>&bull; Delayed mobilization of financing for undertaking the Full Feasibility Study and Detailed Design and Implementation of the preferred alternative;</p>
<p>&bull; The limited funding made available for data collection could negatively affect the quality of the data taken into the next phase and therefore partially achieve the expected outcomes; and</p>
<p>&bull; There is a risk of delays in arrangements that entails an executing agency, could delay reviews and clearances of critical activities, such as procurement. &bull; These risks will be mitigated by the following:</p>
<p>&bull; The Bank Project Team and the Government of Egypt will work jointly to mitigate potential delays to ensure timely signature and ratification of the grant agreement;</p>
<p>&bull; The Bank through NEPAD IPPF will mobilize resources from partners to finance the next stage to Full Feasibility and Detail Design, Documentation to implementation;</p>
<p>&bull; A Steering Committee of Permanent/Principal Secretaries of the footprint states chaired by COMESA will be established to provide policy directions to the study. The scope of work in the TORs will be structured to ensure that quality data collected feeds into the next phase of the project. OMU will require close collaboration with OCUs with set timelines in which to complete reviews</p>
