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. 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.

Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from Eldoret to the border with Uganda.

Construction of a petroleum pipeline between Eldoret, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda. This involves the section from the border with Kenya to Kampala, Uganda.

Construction of petroleum pipeline between Malaba, Kenya to eastern side of Kampala, Uganda. It is envisaged that the 210 km,  8 inch diameter pipeline will move Malaba to Jinja (130 km) and then Jinja to Kampala (80 km). It will have a pumping rate of 168 m3 per hour and an annual capacity of 1.2 million cubic meter. The pipeline will carry refined petroleum products from the Kenyan port city of Mombasa to Nairobi, then continue to Eldoret. It was then to be extended to the Kampala, Uganda from Eldoret. The total construction cost for the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali portion of the pipeline is estimated at approximately US$5 billion. In November 2014, the International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank, pledged to lend US$600 million towards the construction of the Eldoret-Kampala section of the project. The Kampala terminal will have a capacity of 72,000 m3 and comprise of 7 products and 4 interface tanks. It is estimated that the Malaba-Kampala line will cost USD 96.9 million. The Uganda Government is considering relocating the storage facility from the eastern side to the west side of Kampala city. The Ugandan Government has acquired land in Namwambula village for setting up the multi-user storage terminal  It will among other things: Serve as a distribution center for petroleum products from the refinery to market centers in Kampala, Western Kenya, Northern Tanzania and Rwanda A storage and distribution centre for imported petroleum products A delivery point for the planned Hoima - Kampala products pipeline and the planned Eldoret (Kenya) - Kampala (Uganda) products pipeline. It will as well serve as the starting point for the planned Kampala (Uganda)-Kigali (Rwanda) products pipelineCurrent truck transportation rates vary from $40 - $ 42 per m3. Total duration to procure, construct and commission 2 to 2.5 years. The feasibility study for the Eldoret to Kampala pipeline extension was awarded to an international firm in 1997. The study was completed in 1998, and the report was submitted the following year. The study was funded by the European Investment Bank.  Construction is expected to begin in 2014, with a 32-month construction time frame. Commissioning is expected in 2016.

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. The project is divided into four sections as follows: Lamu - Garissa  Road -263km Garissa-Isiolo Road - 305km Isiolo - Nginyang Road - 212km Nginyang - Lokichar - Nadapal - 533km 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.
