The Durban Gauteng corridor is the most significant General Freight corridor in the South African rail system. It connects the Port of Durban and the proposed DDOP (Durban Dig-out Port) to Gauteng. About 27 mtpaof 87 mtpaGF in 2014/15 was transported on this corridor, of which 8.9 mtpawere containers, (mainly import and export) via Port of Durban. The Transnet FDM indicates tonnages up to 105 mtpaon the corridor by 2046, (30 year forecast). Containerisedtraffic will account for more than 50% of this tonnage by 2046. Demand is expected to exceed capacity on this corridor from 2026. Even with operational efficiency improvements at that stage, extra capacity is required from 2029. Capacity is firstly added by shorter headways (block splits), then by moving to 75-wagon container trains, and then by moving to 150-wagon DP container trains & 100-wagon DP GFB trains. The Gauteng Freight Ring also requires doubling of single-line sections. All sections require electrical upgrades, and bypassing of certain PRASA sections (Union-City Deep, Skansdamlink, Cato Ridge Bypass link, Rosslyn link) Development Strategy Supporting intermodal growthThe Sub-Programmesare: -NATCOR -Gauteng Rail Freight Ring -Gauteng Hubs and Terminals -Durban Port and Rail Terminals

Rapid population increase coupled with expanding agriculture, urbanisation, industrialisation, aging waste water treatment infrastructure and expansion of irrigation schemes in the Eastern Nile pose a serious threat to water quality in the EN Basin. The conflicts associated with access to water is expected be heightened by deterioration in water quality. The Eastern Nile Transboundary Water Quality Monitoring Programme is one of several priority projects identified by the Eastern Nile states under the Eastern Nile Multi-Sectoral Investment Opportunity Analysis (MSIOA). This project will be used to develop a water quality monitoring programme within the whole of the Eastern Nile. Propose dproject components include the review of water quality standards and guidelines (and development of a standard set of water quality guidelines and standards for the EN Basin; review of baseline data on water quality and filling of gaps; identification of physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters to be monitored, developing and implementing a monitoring programme; review of legal, institutional and capacity related requirements; identification of existing and future pollution sources and pollutants and analysis of associated environmental, socioeconomic and health risks. Â The project identification was completed in 2015 with funding from the World Bank under the Nile Cooperation for Results Project (NCORE).

The project is a coordinated feasibility, technical-study and action-programme package for Lake Chad and its principal tributaries. It addresses poorly quantified sedimentation and siltation, invasive aquatic vegetation, unequal water distribution between the northern and southern basins, degraded navigation and declining economic activity. The planned work includes bathymetric surveys, physical and chemical analysis of sediments and water, design of dredging and de-silting interventions, navigation and landing facilities, and restoration measures for fisheries and irrigated agriculture.

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. The project has two components, namely: - Strengthen the institutional and financial capacity of the Niger Basin Authority (NBA) to sustainably fulfill its basic mandate; and - Facilitate evidence-based decision-making in the process of preparing Fomi's multipurpose dams and in parallel strengthening of ABN's capabilities through its direct involvement in this complex project. The Fomi Dam initiative has been continued in two related projects: 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 named APL-2. The Niger River Basin Management Project was approved for CIWA funding in November 2014 and aims to strengthen the NBA's capacity to prepare for Fomi in two phases, namely: 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 b) Complementary studies to the main preparatory studies supported by WRD SEM (APL-1).

The Jema sub-basin measures 3,241 km2 in area, and is part of the Abbay (Blue Nile) River Basin located in the Central Ethiopian Highlands. The sub-basin partially covers six woredas in Amhara State Region. The sub-basin is characterized by high elevations (2,500 â€" 3000 m amsl in most parts; down to 1,200 m in the lowest part), steep slopes, high rainfall intensity that generates considerable runoff, intensive cultivation, overgrazing and deforestation. These characteristics, and the use of inefficient traditional farming methods and growing human population on naturel resources lead to soil erosion, soil fertility decline, water scarcity and deepening poverty. The objectives of the Jema project are fourfold, to: (a) improve natural resources management through sustainable land management practices; (b) improve agricultural productivity by introducing improved crop and livestock technologies; (c) enhance Institutional capacity through various capacity building activities; and (d) diversify the livelihoods of local communities with a focus on women and youth by introducing different off-farm activities. The project as three components on sustainable land management, livelihoods support, and institution capacity building. The project was identified in 2007 under the Cooperative Regional Assessment (CRA) of the Eastern Nile Watershed Management Project (ENWM), which was itself part of the Integrated Development of the Eastern Nile. Full feasibility and project preparation studies were completed in 2012 under the Project Delineation and Prioritization study supported under the NBI Institutional Strengthening Project (ISP). Both phases of the studies were funded by the Nile Basin Trust Fund.Â

The One - Stop - Border - Post (OSBP) is juxtaposed. Offices in Burundi and Tanzania are located in each country at a certain distance from the borderline. In offices, the different Officers (from both countries) are seated side by side and all sevices are done simultaneously.The construction of all offices in Burundi and Tanzania has been funded by Trade Mark Africa.

~~At this stage , the project does require a feasibility study in order to define to the attention of the investor ,all aspects regarding the project namely economic , social, technical and environmental. This port was built during colonial rule by  1928 and since then big rehabilitation works had never taken place ; its infrastructures are nowadays in a very dilapidation state as described below : The port of Kalemie is managed by the DRC Railways company « SNCC » .The maintenance of seawalls, du chenal d’accès, des jetées  is under the supervision of «  la Régie des Voies Fluviales, RFV». The main activity of the port is linked to railways traffic. The port consists of a mole of 383,5 m moving toward the lake : On the internal side, there is a appontement in an armed concreteof 9,5m width, On the external side, embankments andrip- rapsdo protect the structure against theswells. The port does also have a dry dock which is in operations, but we do have a lot of difficulties regarding its functioning ie a launching longitudinal  slipway has not been used since 1974 because of a very badstate and the hydrocarbon jetée is partially destroyed and currently out of service . These structures are deteriorated and no longer offer conditions regarding security for port activities. The port being located on the Northern side of the l"’embouchure of Kalemie river, the courseof sand being brought by the river from south to north is being felt under the l"’influence of dominant wind moving from south-east to theendand inside the pier. The overhanging of sand dangerously decreases the width on the entrance to the port , influencing by that also theanchorage . This quantity of sand can be estimated to ± 400.000m3. All these deteriorated structures together with port cranes lead to a big bottleneckthat greatly reduces the corridor evacuation capacity.
