Project Showcase

The Bugarama- Bujumbura road is about 35 km on the RN1, and forms part of the Central Corridor.

The road runs in a south westernly direction from Bulawayo to the Beitbridge Border Post (between Botswana and South-Africa), covering a total of 320km. See this project on an interactive GIS map (with Google Earth satellite imagery and geo-referenced photographs) at www.tmsagis.co.za. The Bulawayo - Beitbridge road is part of the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN Link Nr 311).

The project proposes construction of approximately 128.3 km of paved road from Rihaid El Birdi in Sudan to Om Dafug at the Central African Republic border. It would improve a remote cross-border connection and facilitate movement of people, goods and services. The road is intended to reduce transport costs and isolation, improve regional trade and access and strengthen Sudan–Central African Republic connectivity. The PAP II financial baseline is USD 102.64 million in CAPEX. The previously stored total of 200,000,000 was incompatible with the database’s USD-million convention and also differed materially from the approved baseline. Preparation and operation costs remain NULL. The existing length value of 128 metres is corrected to 128,300 metres, equivalent to 128.3 km. Achieved length remains NULL because no completed works are verified. The project retains S2B as the last verified milestone; current conflict and limited owner reporting do not support a later stage.

The Ethiopia (Gambela) - South Sudan (Malakal) Power Transmission Line - Phase 1 project is located in the transboundary corridor connecting the Gambela region in southwestern Ethiopia to Malakal in South Sudan. It involves constructing a 357 km, 220400 kV transmission line connecting the Gambela region in Ethiopia to Malakal in South Sudan. This interconnection aims to facilitate the export of 100800 MW of electricity from Ethiopia to South Sudan initially, with plans to gradually increase power imports up to 4001000 MW, thereby addressing South Sudan's critical electricity demand while generating revenue for Ethiopia. The project includes conducting feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessments, and resettlement action plans, with construction expected to commence within two years following study completion. It is part of a broader regional effort to enhance electricity trade, grid integration, and energy security between the two countries, supported by a joint technical committee to oversee implementation and future expansions, including a planned 700-kilometer line from Ethiopia's Tepi distribution centre to Juba, South Sudan's capital.

Why this Project is Needed Now? The project is a timely intervention to strengthen the climate resilience of targeted communities in a region frequently affected by drought. By focusing on sustainable groundwater management, it aims to provide a buffer against climate shocks and improve livelihoods. The project builds on the achievements of earlier initiatives, such as the HoA-Groundwater Initiative (HoA GWI), to create a consolidated and sustainable institutional framework for managing transboundary aquifers. Phase II project will benefit from lessons learnt from the GW4R project Phase 1. Anticipated Benefits: The project's primary beneficiaries will be decision-makers and groundwater management professionals in regional and national institutions, who will benefit from strengthened capacity, better information, and improved policies. Indirectly, inhabitants of the IGAD region will benefit from more sustainable groundwater management and increased resilience to climate shocks. The investment is justified by its potential to promote peaceful coexistence over shared resources and enhance economic livelihoods. Regional and Global Significance: The project's focus on transboundary water management aligns with broader regional and global development agendas. By strengthening cooperative frameworks for a vital natural resource, it contributes to regional stability and sustainable development. The project also supports the achievement of SDGs (especially SDG 6), AU Agenda 2063, African Water Policy and Vision 2025, and IGAD and NBI goals. Alignment with Nile Basin Investment Program: The project should be included in the Nile River Basin Investment Program as it presents a novel approach for transboundary groundwater management that can strengthen livelihoods and climate resilience, offering a model that could be replicated and upscaled across the Nile Basin. Furthermore, it conducts pre-investment activities in key transboundary aquifers located within the Nile Basin, specifically the Sudd Aquifer (shared by Ethiopia and South Sudan) and the Gedaref Aquifer (shared by Ethiopia and Sudan), which are the focus of the current phase of the project.

The Kakono hydropower site is located on the Kagera River, Northwest Tanzania near the border with Uganda. As a key component of Tanzania's energy strategy, Kakono offers a strategic opportunity for expanding renewable energy, enhancing grid stability, and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This run-of-river site, downstream among the potential locations on the Kagera River, aligns with national development goals. The Project will entail the construction of a concrete-faced rockfill dam (42 m high and 1,380 m long) and a gravity roller-compacted concrete dam (61 m high and 284 m long) producing a hydropower potential exploited through a powerhouse at the toe of the dam. The limited live reservoir storage volume of 90 Mm3 will allow the option of daily regulation of the river flow when necessary. The power plant will comprise two Kaplan turbines, each with a capacity of 43.9MW and a maximum combined discharge of is 3,16m3/s. The project will also include a 38.5 km long 220 kV transmission line to the existing substation at Kyaka and will be managed by Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO). Preparations are well advanced and include a detailed Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), completed in 2022.

The project area covers the Akanyaru marshland, the Lakes Cyohoha and Rweru and their watersheds shared by Rwanda and Burundi, and is located in the Akanyaru sub-basin and the downstream Nyabarongo sub-basin, both being part of the Kagera sub-basin shared by Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania. The project area has experienced a steady decline in the level of ecosystem services from being the food basket of Rwanda and Burundi in the 1960s with widespread forest area and plenty of rainfall to its current status of frequent drought, soil erosion and lack of grazing land. The objective of this project is to enhance: Co-ordination, sustainable development, management and utilization of the Lakes Cyohoha, Rweru, Akanyaru marshland environment, including water and fisheries resources production Contribute to poverty reduction and the reversal of environmental degradation in the Bugesera region shared by Rwanda and Burundi, especially in the Rweru and Cyohoha lakes basins and Akanyaru marshland.

The Development of Data Centre Infrastructures Underpinning the Digital Economy is a regional ICT programme under the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). It envisions establishing six new data centres in Burundi, Central African Republic, Sao Tome and Principe, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon, alongside the reinforcement of five existing centres in Angola, Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The programme is grounded in the Consensual Master Plan for the Development of Electronic Communications Infrastructure in Central Africa (PACDICE-AC), established in 2019, which identified data centre development as a regional priority. The project was formally included in the PIDA Priority Action Plan 2 (PIDA PAP2, 2021-2030) in 2020. Total programme investment is estimated at USD 92.5 million across all components. The programme aims to secure Central African cyberspace, build user confidence in digital services, and regionalise intra-ECCAS data exchange to reduce latency and improve access times. Key challenges include implementation complexity across 11 countries, technical coordination requirements, and funding mobilisation for pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. Ce projet vise à doter l'espace sous-régional de la CEEAC des infrastructures qui participent de la sécurisation du cyberespace et contribuent à créer de la confiance dans un monde de plus en plus numérique et à garantir la souveraineté numérique des Etats.

Regional project under PIDA PAP 2 (2021-2030) to provide and strengthen each ECCAS Member State with high bandwidth fiber optic connectivity and establish a sub-regional data hosting centre in the ECCAS space. The project covers all 11 ECCAS member states (Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Sao Tome and Principe) and aims to create a comprehensive broadband backbone network across Central Africa. The initiative builds on prior work undertaken by the World Bank, PPIAF, and the ITU to address connectivity gaps in the ECCAS sub-region and renew momentum for ECCAS and CEMAC harmonization efforts. Core objectives include securing regional cyberspace, building digital trust, ensuring data sovereignty, and enabling cross-border connectivity. The ECCAS region faces significant ICT access deficits, with only 10.2 internet access lines per 1,000 inhabitants compared to 61.8 for the continent as a whole. Ce programme vise l'interconnexion des Etats membres de la CEEAC, deux à deux, à partir des dernières chambres des backbones nationaux vers les frontières

The Northern Sahara Aquifer System (SASS) is a basin of more than 1000,000 km shared by three countries (Algeria, Tunisia, Libya) with considerable but not renewable water potential. This water potential is overexploited in view of the estimates of the levies, which rose from 0.6 billion m3/year in 1970 to 2.8 billion m3/year in 2013, almost triple the average recharge (1 billion m3/year).If the state of overexploitation persists, due to the increase in water needs that could double by 2030 due to the extension of irrigation, the consequences will be dramatic and may result, among other things, in a sharp deterioration in water and soil quality. As a result, alternative solutions must be sought through, among other things, the generalization of renewable energy (solar), the realization of renewable water points, drainage systems, water demineralization stations accompanied by efficient management of irrigation water.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.Agricultural development through irrigation efficiency to triple irrigated areas by 2030; The development of solar energy, especially in arid areas; Job creation in the agricultural sector; Modernising irrigation through water-efficient practices; The use of unconventional water in irrigation through the demineralization of brackish water and the recovery of drainage water; The involvement of the private sectors and research in agricultural development; Incentives to invest in major agricultural projects; The development of cold storage capacity and packaging centres, particularly in arid areas; The attractiveness of the agricultural sector to young people. Innovation Drip System: - Use of Solar Energy; - applications of the "renewable energy-water-agriculture" nexus. - Rain systems outside the oasis, available in: - Private irrigated serriculture system and perimeter for the production of early or off-season market garden products with high added value. There, the problem is related to the degradation of the quality of the groundwater resource by salinization by contamination with marine water; The rain-fed olive system, threatened with drought with decline. In both cases, too, the application of a "renewable energy-water-agriculture" nexus is able to safeguard and redeploy them on the path to sustainability. The expected results of this reasoned intensification are as follows: - The conservation of water and soil resources and the preservation of their qualities; - Significant improvement in agronomic performance (saving 30% of irrigation water, recovery and reallocation of drainage water, at least doubling yields/ha relative to baseline, diversification of production and improvement in quality). This with a very positive integration of livestock into crop systems; - The increase (double or even triple) in the income of farmers to the benefit of the local economy; - The consolidation of the social structures and cultural values of these regions based on group solidarity, through new structures created and adopted by the indigenous peoples themselves. - Establishment of demineralization stations for brackish waters

The Nyimur/Limur multipurpose water resources project is a transboundary project located in the Aswa Basin covering parts of Lamwo District, Uganda and Magwi Country, Eastern Equatorial State, South Sudan. The location coordinates are 3.560042°N, 32.361010°E. The project comprises of several components, including a community-based irrigation scheme, a dam and water reservoir, a water and soil conservation component and flood control component. The core scheme of the project consists of a 26 m head dam on the Nyimur River, a mini hydropower plant with a 350 kW capacity; and development of 5,105 ha for paddy rice irrigation. The project is expected to benefit 12,000 people from the two countries. The preparatory studies (2015-2019) included feasibility studies for community-based irrigation, hydropower generation, and watershed management; an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA); and preparation of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). At the project end in 2019, a roundtable donors meeting was held to mobilize resources for the implementation phase. Project preparation activities were funded through a EUR 1.975 million grant from the AfDB, with EUR 0.587 million co-funding from NELSAP-CU and EUR 34,608 in in-kind support from the countries.

The Port of Beira is Mozambique’s principal maritime gateway for the central region and an important outlet for landlocked markets in Southern Africa. It is connected by road and rail to Zimbabwe and Zambia, by the Sena corridor towards Tete and Malawi, and by pipeline to Zimbabwe. The original PIDA PAP II submission identifies the regional beneficiaries as Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project responds to the need for additional cargo-handling capacity and more reliable port infrastructure along a corridor that carries containers, general cargo, fertilizer, agricultural commodities, minerals and petroleum products. The approved Phase I package is broader than a single terminal expansion. It includes construction of a multipurpose terminal; expansion of the container terminal; construction of wharves 11A and 11B and paving of more than 20 hectares; construction of a fertilizer terminal and its supporting infrastructure; and rehabilitation and expansion of the fuel terminal. The submitted technical target is to increase annual handling capacity from 13.6 million tonnes to 24 million tonnes. The historical Phase I cost is USD 88.6 million. The submission also refers to a possible Phase II minerals terminal estimated at USD 509.1 million, but that amount is separate and must not be added to the Phase I project cost unless the database is formally re-scoped. Current port information helps explain the operating base on which the PAP II project is being implemented, but it must not be confused with completed project outputs. The 2026/2027 operator directory records a 645-metre multipurpose container terminal with a design capacity of approximately 500,000 TEU per year, a 300,000 square metre container yard, four ship-to-shore cranes and associated yard equipment. It records a general cargo terminal with 670 metres of quay and a design capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per year, as well as an oil terminal with an annual capacity of 2.5 million tonnes. These are current port facilities and capacities; they are not, by themselves, evidence that the full PAP II investment package has been completed. Physical implementation is clearest in the container and general-cargo components. The operator reported that the container terminal handled 469,664 TEU in 2025 and was adding two new ship-to-shore cranes to its equipment fleet. The stated development direction is to expand container handling towards 700,000 TEU per year. Earlier operator reporting also described expansion of general-cargo capacity from 3.5 million to 5 million tonnes per year and a dedicated fertilizer-handling facility with a conveyor from ship to warehouse and a dedicated mobile harbour crane. These activities relate directly to the approved container-terminal and fertilizer-terminal components and support a portfolio-level classification of S4B – Construction. They do not establish that wharves 11A and 11B, the multipurpose terminal and every supporting facility have all been completed. The fuel-terminal component remains less advanced. In 2025, CFM issued an expression of interest for consultancy services to develop a multi-user floating fuel pier, technically described as a single buoy or single point mooring. The consultancy covers assessment of regional fuel demand and storage requirements; collection of technical, environmental, legal and financial information; risk assessment; selection of a public-private partnership model; preparation and evaluation of partner-procurement documents; contract negotiation; and later supervision of works. This evidence shows active project preparation and procurement for the fuel component, not completed construction or operation. For database reporting, the project should therefore be treated as a mixed-maturity portfolio. S4B is justified because material components of the approved scope are under physical implementation, but the narrative must state that other components remain in preparation or have not been independently verified. The project must not be advanced to S4C until official evidence confirms commissioning and operation of the complete approved phase, or until the project is formally divided into separately reportable components. The USD 88.6 million value should continue to be described as the original Phase I baseline rather than a verified current cost estimate.

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.

The proposed project road is one of the six (6) international trunk routes connecting Zimbabwe with the neighbouring countries of Botswana and South Africa Overall, it is intended that the proposed intervention will reduce travel costs for road users as well as maintenance costs for the Government. A major objective is to help improve road safety conditions for international and regional traffic and for local residents The project road starts from the Bulawayo Main Post Office and ends at the intersection* with the Masvingo road about 4 km north of the international border area. The approximate limits of the subject Project road are indicated in Map.

The power system interconnection project involved the construction of a high voltage transmission line from Ethiopia to Sudan to utilise surplus hydropower from Ethiopia to replace oil-based thermal generation in Sudan. The interconnection was also intended to allow for pooling of reserves in emergency situations, which would allow electricity to be transferred from Sudan to Ethiopia during times of severe hydrological conditions in Ethiopia. The interconnection will also achieve considerable savings in the operation of power plants in the long run. The Ethiopia-Sudan Transmission Interconnection Project comprised of a new 194 km double circuit 230/220 KV transmission line linking Shehedi in Ethiopia to Gedaref in Sudan; reinforcement of Ethiopia’s existing 260 km single circuit line linking Bahir Dar to Gonder and Shehedi; and a new 36.5 km high voltage, double circuit, 230/220 kV, three phase alternating current transmission line linking Shehedi to Metema at the Ethiopia-Sudan border. The transmission capacity of the power lines is 100 MW. The construction phase of the project was nationally funded and implemented between 2009 and 2013.

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.   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. 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.

The project involves the construction of a submarine optical fiber cable across Lake Tanganyika, connecting Kigoma in Tanzania to Kalemie in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The cable is 186 km in length and will be deployed at lake depths reaching up to 1,470 meters. It will use G652D standard single-mode optical fiber with an initial capacity of 100 Gbps, expandable to several terabits per second using OTN over DWDM overlay technology. The primary component is the lake-bed cable, which will extend the existing Tanzania National ICT Broadband Backbone (NICTBB) into eastern DRC. The NICTBB, managed by Tanzania Telecommunications Corporation (TTCL) on behalf of the Government of Tanzania, already spans approximately 7,910 km and connects Tanzania to six neighboring countries: Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. The project also includes establishing Points of Presence (PoPs) on both sides to facilitate interconnection and service delivery. The cable design incorporates specialized burial techniques and environmental safeguards to address seismic risks along the East African Rift. Joint environmental studies by TTCL and the Societe Congolaise des Postes et Telecommunications (SCPT) are being conducted to ensure compliance with the Ramsar Convention protecting Lake Tanganyika's biodiversity. This infrastructure is critical for digital integration within the East African Community (EAC) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), providing a direct, high-capacity link that bypasses challenging overland routes. The project is recognized under the AUDA-NEPAD 2nd PIDA Priority Action Plan (2021-2030) as a key link for digital integration in East and Southern Africa. The 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 provide connectivity to all neighboring countries. Now the government is planning to connect with DRC by construction of optical fiber cable. The ideal of connection is between Kigoma in Tanzania and Kalemie in DRC, where the submarine optical fiber cable will be constructed. To achieve direct cross border link across lake Tanganyika, it will requires understanding of lake Tanganyika's bottom terrain and hydrology, landscape of beach sides, assessment of risks for marine activity and analysis of environmental factors for an in-depth design. The process will need to involve desk study, preliminary system design, route survey then detailed system design, which will determine the requirements for its implementation and operation. However, for generic understanding of requirements, we have identified possible locations of cable landing points along the shores of lake Tanganyika. The direct water distances between the two points is approximate to 150km with 1,470m considered as possible maximum depth of lake Tanganyika. Therefore considering that the cable will need to be layed down at the bottom of the lake, about 200km of submarine OFC could be needed for laying between the two points.

The project is designed to meet the need for additional liquid bulk capacity through design of a BOT project for a single buoy point or off shore jetty system.

The project is intended to establish a reliable maritime connection of more than 660 km between Praia and Dakar, with potential interfaces to other West African ports through the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan corridor. The service is intended to carry passengers and cargo and may use a combined container and RoPax operating model. The project includes market and traffic analysis, vessel and port-infrastructure requirements, environmental and social analysis, financial modelling, management and governance arrangements, procurement design and a sustainable operating model. The April 2015 Cabo Verde-Senegal memorandum and the later ECOWAS corridor framework provide the institutional basis. ECOWAS reported progress in completing financial and technical studies in 2024. In July 2025, stakeholders validated the financial and implementation strategy but also required ECOWAS to establish operational, infrastructure and technical preconditions, define management procedures, optimise cost estimates and prepare an appropriate procurement mechanism. A 2026 finance-specialist recruitment further confirms continuing structuring work. Announced expectations for operation by the end of 2026 are targets.

The Fomi project is a multipurpose dam proposed on the Niandan River in Guinea within the Upper Niger Basin. The approved project concept includes a reservoir of about 4,978 million cubic metres, a dam of approximately 50 metres, three generating units totalling around 90 MW, irrigated agriculture, fisheries, improved navigation and environmental-flow regulation. Guinea is the project member state, while benefits extend across the wider Niger Basin.

High-quality ducted fiber corridor linking Port Sudan undersea cable landings to inland Central African states, supporting broadband connectivity to Chad, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. The corridor positions Sudan as a digital gateway for landlocked Sahel countries, reducing satellite reliance particularly for humanitarian actors. Technical design specifies high-quality ducted fiber at 130-170 cm depth with multi-mode capacity and distributed open access points. Project implementation has been severely constrained by ongoing conflict in Sudan since 2023, though humanitarian telecommunications infrastructure has been activated at Port Sudan landing sites. The proposed project addresses enlargement of the regional ICT coverage by providing services for unconnected customers with satisfied and affordable quality and prices. Moreover crossing border cable will significantly contribute in injecting new communities and activities across its route as well as additive job opportunities.

ZiZaBoNa creates a new Western Transmission Corridor in Southern Africa, by linking the power systems of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. This part of the project involves the construction of a 231 km / 330 kV transmission interconnector from Livingstone Substation (Zambia) to Zambezi Substation at Katima (Botswana), with a transmission capacity of 300 MW. Here it joins the Caprivi HVDC link.
