The project involves the construction of the Koukoutamba multi-purpose dam (previously known as Gourbassy dam) between Mali and Senegal. A feasibility study and preliminary design for the Gourbassy Dam was completed by SNC LAVALIN International in 2012 for the OMVS Secretariat (Haut Commissariat de l"’OMVS), with funding from the World Bank under the project PGIRE 1. The main summary report is dated July 2012. Since then, some (rather modest) progress has been made on further project preparation and mobilisation of finance. Activities that have been undertaken include: preparation of terms of reference for detailed design studies and tender documents. The preparation of studies to assess the cost of building the dam; and development of plans to mobilise finance, including planning for a donor round table and sending out funding requests to potential partners has been done.

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'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's Mission to provide efficient and effective port and related services. 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.

The Amilcar Cabral Submarine Cable System (ACSCS) is a 3,555 km submarine fibre optic cable project connecting Cabo Verde, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The system comprises a 2,955 km main trunk and includes four branching units to the mainland countries and two stubs for future expansion to the north and south respectively. It is designed with a minimum capacity of 12 Tbps per fibre pair and a 25-year operational lifespan. The cable will land in Praia, Cabo Verde, and connect to the EllaLink submarine cable system, providing a direct link to Brazil and Europe. The project is a key component of the ECOWAS broadband backbone programme and aims to provide a redundant, high-capacity international gateway for the participating countries, which currently rely predominantly on the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) submarine cable. The project has been in development since 2018 and is led by a consortium of national operators and public entities from the six participating countries, coordinated by the ECOWAS Project Preparation and Development Unit (PPDU). The full system cost is estimated at USD 91.3 million, with Liberia's portion estimated at USD 14.29 million. The Amilcar Cabral submarine Cable Project is part of the ECOWAS broadband Backbone infrastructure programme aimed at connecting the island nation of Cabo Verde to its nearest neighbors on the mainland namely Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.

The project aims to identify all the obstacles to navigate the Congo River, and the Oubangui and Sangha tributaries as well as the port infrastructure needs in order to improve the conditions and the capacity of safe river transport. The Congo River is navigable for a distance of about 1700 km between Kinshasa and Kisangani. The Oubangui is navigable to Bangui from Liranga, which is 600 km from Brazzaville and the Sangha is navigable for a distance of roughly 710 km between Nola and the confluence with the Congo River. The project proposes sustainable solutions for the rehabilitation, development and operation of the river transport network. At the end of the feasibility study phase, the following developments are proposed for navigation and ports: Navigation: Improvement of the markup, the dredging of the main and secondary channel of the Congo River as well as the management of the difficult passes identified on Oubangui and Sangha. Ports: Dredging in front of wharves, salvaging wrecks, rehabilitating quay walls and quays, acquiring and repairing port operating equipment, rehabilitating buildings, warehouses and roads as well as the layout of certain existing berthing areas, etc. In addition, the project proposes skills development of the personnel of the institutions in charge of river transport of the three countries in the fields related to the code of inland navigation, the safety and security of navigation and port operations.
