MEF 2014 - THB Kenya - Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF) Phase III. Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

Promotion of the national quality system SICAL and its actors in Colombia (ARTICAL II). The Colombian government has initiated a series of measures for green and inclusive economic growth, aiming at sustainable consumption and production patterns, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, improved integration of the country into global trade, and thus also an improvement of the income and employment structure. The module contributes to the implementation of Colombia's strategies and focuses on the circular economy and food safety sectors. Despite the impressive progress already made by the Colombian quality system SICAL, there are deficits in service delivery. The aim of the module is to develop competent metrological services, accreditation procedures as well as technical regulations and standards for an efficient circular economy and for the improvement of food safety. 
Essential measures to achieve the goal are divided into three main areas of action: Mechanisms for institutional cooperation are to be further developed and the cooperation between SICAL actors is to be strengthened  competent SICAL services in the food sector, especially the milk value chain, as well as for the circular economy are to be developed.
Partners of the project are the Directorate of Regulation of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism (Mincomercio), which is responsible for SICAL, as well as the national metrology institute INM, the national standardization institute ICONTEC, the national accreditation body ONAC, the regulatory authority SIC and the national industrial business association ANDI. Other institutions important to the sectors of food safety (ICA, INVIMA) and environmental and resource protection (IDEAM), including responsible ministries, will be involved in the activities. 

As the partner institutes are based in Bogotá, a large part of the project's work is concentrated on the capital. However, the aim is to increasingly involve laboratories, universities and innovation centers from the regions in the activities.  Colombia relies on coordinated and competent quality services provided by the Subsistema Nacional de la Calidad (SICAL), especially for the circular economy and food safety.

November 2016. ŒZiel des FZ-Programms ist es, zur Implementierung der Friedensagenda nach Abschluss des Friedensabkommens mit den FARC (Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común) notwendige institutionelle und strukturelle Reformen zu unterstützen und der kolumbianischen Regierung finanzielle Ressourcen zu deren Implementierung zu günstigen Bedingungen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Œ ŒDie Zielgruppe im weiteren Sinne sind die 49 Mio. Bürger/innen Kolumbiens, die sich als Nutznießer der strukturbildenden Maßnahmen des FZ-Programms auf nationaler Ebene unter besseren Lebensbedingungen in einem dauerhaften Frieden entfalten können. Besonders begünstigt werden darunter die Opfer des Gewaltkonflikts, wie die sieben Millionen Binnenflüchtlinge. Ihnen kommen die Reformen der Opferentschädigung und -wiedergutmachung sowie Modernisierung der damit befassten Behörden in Kolumbien, die vom Sektorreformprogramm befördert werden, in besonderem Maße zugute. Œ ŒDas FZ-Programm besteht aus zunächst zwei Phasen, die inhaltlich aufeinander aufbauen und als sektorale Budgetfinanzierung gestaltet sind, mit der Option mindestens einer anschließenden dritten Phase. Nach der Umsetzung der mit der kolumbianischen Regierung für jede Phase des Programms vereinbarten Reformschritte, werden die Mittel an das kolumbianische Finanzministerium ausbezahlt und in das allgemeine, nationale Budget eingestellt.

Agricultural financing Kenya. Targets. Within the context of the special initiative "EINEWELT ohne Hunger" [a world without hunger], it is envisaged that the project "Agricultural Financing Kenya" improves access to medium- and long-term sustainable agricultural financial services for small- and medium-sized farmers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, which operate within the up- and downstream of the agricultural value chain as well as producer organizations and primary cooperatives. Moreover, the project is intended to contribute to a growth in investments in the agricultural sector. The project contributes towards deepening and broadening the financial system and towards creating and securing income in the rural areas. Indirectly, the project can provide a substantial contribution towards reducing poverty and improving food security.  Targets.

Promotion of TVET (ICT). Despite economic successes with growth averaging 5% over the past decade and a good demographic starting point, Kenya is characterized by high youth unemployment (17 to 40%) and a simultaneous shortage of skilled workers. The creation of high-quality vocational training opportunities for Kenyan youth is therefore central to increasing the employment of young people in Kenya and improving the supply of qualified skilled workers. Against this backdrop, the promotion of vocational education and training, particularly in Africa, is also a key concern for the German government. Therefore, in early 2017, Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) initiated the Kenyan-German TVET Initiative (KGTI) to promote youth employment in Kenya. The FC measure presented here is the core of this initiative. ŒThe FC module aims to develop state vocational schools into centers of excellence for cooperative vocational education. A particular focus is on greater involvement of private companies in the training in order to ensure the labor market orientation of the supported training. The target group of the FC measure is young people in Kenya, in particular those leaving the school system (secondary level), who are seeking formal multi-year vocational training at skilled worker level in selected sectors. ŒThe total cost of the FC module is EUR 22.73 million. An FC contribution (IDA loan of EUR 20 million) is planned to finance these costs. Furthermore, the financing of a training measure in the amount of EUR 2 million is required to ensure the sustainability of the FC investment measures. To scale up the approach described here in a second phase or further development, this program proposal includes a reserve audit component in the amount of EUR 50 million.

Partnership Facility for Green Bonds-Colombian Window. The project aims to establish a Colombian investment window of the Latin American Green Bond Fund ("LAGREEN"). Green bonds are fixed-interest bonds issued by players with an active involvement in climate financing (including private and state banks, project developers of renewable energy projects). In this context, the proceeds from the bond are allocated to a specific climate project and compliance with binding criteria is monitored transparently during the term of the bond. ŒAn anchor investment by LAGREEN in a green bond has a positive signalling effect to the local capital market: if LAGREEN examines and implements an investment, it becomes more attractive for local investors to invest in the same green bond. This introduces private investors to this relatively new financial market instrument and attracts them to invest directly in Green Bonds. The LAGREEN thus leverages the public funds used and provides urgently needed additional private capital for climate-friendly investments to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, LAGREEN plans to invest in local currency green bonds where possible to encourage the development of local capital markets.

Promotion of TVET - VPT I. Despite economic success with growth of 5% on average over the past decade and a good demographic starting point, Kenya is characterized by high youth unemployment (17% to 40%) and a simultaneous shortage of skilled workers. The creation of high-quality vocational training opportunities for Kenyan young people is therefore crucial in order to increase the employment of young people in Kenya and to improve the supply of qualified specialists. Against this background, the promotion of vocational training, particularly in Africa, is a central concern for the German government. For this reason, the BMZ initiated the Kenyan-German TVET Initiative (KGTI) in early 2017 to promote youth employment in Kenya. The FC measure shown here is at the heart of this initiative. ŒThe Project is the continuation of the first phase of the project "Promotion of Youth Employment and Vocational Training in Kenya" (BMZ No: 2016 67 211). The Project concerns the establishment of Centres of Excellence for Cooperative Training ("CoE") at selected public Technical and Vocational Education and Training ("TVET") institutes that shall offer high-quality labour market-oriented training for Kenyan youth in specific trades with a strong engagement of surrounding industries. The purpose of the Project is that Kenyan youth have successfully completed a high-quality labour market-oriented TVET at these newly established CoEs. This is to contribute to improved employment of qualified labor in Kenya. ŒThe total costs of this FC module amount to around EUR 13.00 million. An FC contribution (IDA loan in the amount of EUR 12 million) is planned to finance these costs and is part of the total inventory check in the amount of EUR 50 million.

Promotion of legal security and self-help forces of threatened communities in rural regions  In the target region, biomes are threatened by destruction through monocultures and large-scale mining and energy projects, and the small-scale rural population by displacement for the same reason due to lack of land tenure. The project supports traditional rural communities and human rights defenders in defending their territories, their food security, and their social and political self-help capacities.

Defending the rights and livelihoods of smallholder families and traditional populations in the target region. Defending the rights and livelihoods of smallholder families and traditional populations in the target region  In the target region, the biomes are threatened by destruction through monocultures and large-scale projects in mining, energy production and port construction. The smallholder as well as indigenous and traditional rural population is exposed to multiple human rights violations and threatened by displacement due to lack of land titles. The project aims to improve the level of organization of the population and to network with other civil society actors in order to successfully shape public policy on issues relevant to human rights.

Securing land rights and promoting agroecology and food sovereignty of smallholder and quilombola communities in Brazil. Securing land rights and promoting agroecology and food sovereignty of smallholder and quilombola communities in Brazil  The target region is threatened by salinisation of cultivated land, contamination and drying out of water sources, and accelerated desertification processes. Smallholder communities, such as Quilombola, face threats from large landowners who claim ownership of their land. The project aims to strengthen the rights of smallholder families and quilombola communities and to strengthen adapted farming methods through horizontal learning and the revaluation of traditional knowledge existing in smallholder and quilombola communities.

Protection of human rights in Brazilian agrarian reform settlements. Protection of human rights in Brazilian agrarian reform settlements  The project contributes to the retention of families living in squats and agrarian reform settlements. Violence in the countryside is combated, land ownership is gradually democratized and the agrarian reform process in Brazil is promoted.

Promoting the level of organization and political mobilization of Brazilian rural communities. Promoting the level of organization and political mobilization of Brazilian rural communities  In Brazil, discrimination against communities of former slaves (quilombos) remains very serious. Although their special status is recognized by law, they are in fact affected by exclusion and land theft. The aim of the project is therefore to strengthen the self-identification of the communities as quilombos and to empower them to work for the improvement of their own living conditions. This is to be achieved, among other things, through workshops and exchange with social and political institutions.

Strengthening civil society participation in the enforcement of the human right to health in Brazil. Strengthening civil society participation in the enforcement of the human right to health in Brazil  In Brazil, the public health system has major weaknesses and is not accessible to all. The aim of the project is to counteract the deficits revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This is to be achieved, among other things, through the qualification of members of health advisory councils as well as lobbying and public relations work. Due to the macro dimension of the project, the target group cannot be precisely defined. The beneficiaries of the measures include members of student, trade union and social movements who are closely involved with health.

Securing land rights and supporting self-determined sustainable development of indigenous peoples in the target region. Securing land rights and supporting self-determined sustainable development of indigenous peoples in the target region  Many rights provided for in the Brazilian constitution, such as the protection of indigenous territories and the right to culturally appropriate development, are insufficiently implemented by the state. The aim is to strengthen indigenous peoples politically and organizationally so that they can successfully campaign for the realization of their territorial rights and the guarantee of their physical integrity, and live and do business in accordance with their traditions. Central measures are training and exchange meetings on site, legal support and lobbying at the political level.

Strengthening the economic autonomy and political participation of women smallholders. Strengthening the economic autonomy and political participation of women smallholders  In Brazil, agribusiness is increasingly expanding as the dominant agricultural model, threatening smallholder agroecological initiatives and agrobiodiversity. The aim of the project is therefore to support smallholders in preserving their native seeds and to strengthen their political participation so that they can better assert their rights. This is to be achieved, among other things, through workshops and broad-based mobilization campaigns. The target group consists mainly of women, whose economic autonomy needs to be strengthened.

Supporting fishing communities in their self-organization and the preservation of traditional economic and lifestyle practices. Supporting fishing communities in their self-organization and the preservation of traditional economic and lifestyle practices  The traditional way of life of small-scale fishermen in Brazil is recognized and enjoys special protection. However, this protection is often not guaranteed by state authorities. The existence of the communities is threatened by land speculation, mining, energy and tourism projects. The partner organization supports fishing communities to stay on the land, to organize themselves and to preserve traditional ways of life and economy

Lobbying and public relations work for an agricultural policy geared to the semi-arid region and poverty reduction. Lobbying and public relations work for an agricultural policy geared to the semi-arid region and poverty reduction  The target region is characterized by very irregular and infrequent rainfall, so that many smallholder families suffer from water shortages. The aim of the project is to work towards the implementation of a water and agricultural policy adapted to the semi-arid region and oriented towards self-help-oriented poverty reduction. To this end, the NGO network of the semiarid region (ASA) is to be strengthened organizationally and a broad-based public relations and lobbying campaign is to be carried out.

Strengthening the territorial legal security and political participation of rural and traditional communities in the impact area. Strengthening the territorial legal security and political participation of rural and traditional communities in the impact area  In Brazil, agribusiness and mining cause serious land conflicts that put pressure on vulnerable groups. The aim of the project is therefore to support those affected to assert their own rights and to move forward in land regulation processes. This is to be achieved, among other things, through workshops, exchange of experiences and public mobilisation work. The target group consists of smallholder families, some of whom belong to traditional communities. A special focus is on the promotion of women and young people.

Resistance to violence and advocacy for children&apos s and young people&apos s rights in the area of action. Resistance to violence and advocacy for children's and young people's rights in the area of action  Children's and young people's rights in Brazil are often disregarded. In the area of impact, one of the major problems is violence against children and young people organised by police militias, as well as everyday domestic violence. The project aims to develop strategies to promote the human rights of children, adolescents and their mothers. In addition to relevant case monitoring, the main lines of intervention are the development of policy proposals, the implementation of prevention measures as well as public relations and lobbying campaigns.

Verbesserung der Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung in Timbuktu II (VPT I)  Renforcement du système d&apos alimentation en eau potable et d&apos assainissement de la ville de Tombouctou. Kernproblem ŒDie Wasserproduktion, Speicherkapazitäten sowie die Sanitärversorgung in der Stadt Timbuktu reichen derzeit nicht aus, um sämtliche Einwohner kontinuierlich zu versorgen. Die Unterversorgung der Bevölkerung Malis mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser und die unzureichende Verfügbarkeit sanitärer Einrichtungen stellen auch generell zentrale Entwicklungshemmnisse für den malischen Staat dar. In Timbuktu, der Stadt, die symbolisch für den gesamten strukturell unterversorgten Norden Malis steht, spielt die Erbringung adäquater Dienstleistungen in einem Schlüsselbereich der öffentlichen Versorgung auch eine wichtige Rolle bei der krisenbedingt notwendigen Legitimitätsstärkung staatlicher Strukturen und somit der Schaffung von Stabilität und Frieden. Œ ŒModulziel ŒDie FZ-Maßnahme knüpft an die Investitionsmaßnahem zur Erweiterung der Wasserproduktion und -speicherung sowie des Verteilnetz in Timbuktu und Investitionsmaßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Sanitärversorgung im Rahmen der ersten Phase des Vorhabens an. Neben des erhöhten Versorgungsgrads ist es weiterhin Ziel des Vorhabens, durch sichtbare staatliche Investitionen einen Beitrag zur Stabilisierung des Nordens zu leisten. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Wasserproduktion in der Stadt Timbuktu soll durch das Vorhaben mehr als verdoppelt und die Anschlussrate von derzeit 63% auf 80% erhöht werden, um somit eine kontinuierliche Wasserversorgung zu erreichen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die schnell wachsende Gesamtbevölkerung der Stadt Timbuktu mit ihren ca. 63.000 Einwohnern.

Le sous-approvisionnement de la population malienne en eau potable hygiénique et la disponibilité insuffisante d'installations sanitaires constituent également des obstacles majeurs au développement de l'État malien en général. A Tombouctou, la ville qui symbolise l'ensemble du nord du Mali structurellement mal desservi, la fourniture de services adéquats dans un secteur clé de l'approvisionnement public joue également un rôle important dans le renforcement de la légitimité des structures étatiques, nécessaire en raison de la crise, et donc dans l'instauration de la stabilité et de la paix. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒL'action de la coopération financière s'inscrit dans le prolongement des mesures d'investissement visant à étendre la production et le stockage de l'eau ainsi que le réseau de distribution à Tombouctou et des mesures d'investissement visant à améliorer l'approvisionnement en eau potable dans le cadre de la première phase du projet. Outre l'augmentation du niveau d'approvisionnement, l'objectif du projet reste de contribuer à la stabilisation du Nord par des investissements publics visibles.

Programm zur Unterstützung der Dezentralisierung und Kommunalentwicklung - FADEC V (Korbfinanzierung) - VP  Programme d&apos appui à la décentralisation et au développement communal - FADEC V (Basket financing) - VP. Auch wenn sich ausgewählte Kerndienstleistungen der Kommunen verbessert haben, so hat insbesondere die Landbevölkerung noch immer nur unzureichenden Zugang zu staatlichen Diensten und wenig Möglichkeiten, lokal relevante Entscheidungsprozesse zu beeinflussen (Kernproblem). Die FZ-Maßnahme leistet einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des gleichberechtigten Zugangs der Bevölkerung zu einer angemessenen und nachhaltigen Grundversorgung durch den nationalen Finanztransfermechanismus FADeC im Einklang mit den Grundsätzen der Good Governance (Modulziel). Es handelt sich um eine Fortführung des FZ-Engagements im Rahmen der Vorgängerphasen des Vorhabens. Die Erfahrungen aus den Phasen I bis IV (BMZ-Nummern 200666438, 201065739, 201365089, 201667179) werden insbesondere im Bereich der Weiterentwicklung des FADeC-Mechanismus sowie der Stärkung der lokalen Guten Regierungsführung genutzt. Das Vorhaben unterstützt die COVID19-Strategie der beninischen Regierung. Bei dem Vorhaben handelt es sich um eine Korbfinanzierung. Das Modul trägt direkt zu dem aktuell gültigen EZ-Programm bei, welches darauf abzielt, dass die politische, administrative und fiskalische Verantwortlichkeiten auf dezentrale Gebietskörperschaften übertragen werden und diese in der Lage sind, bessere und vor allem bedarfsorientierte Dienstleistungen zu erbringen, insbesondere für die ärmere Bevölkerung.  Même si certains services de base des communes se sont améliorés, la population rurale en particulier n'a toujours qu'un accès insuffisant aux services de l'État et peu de possibilités d'influencer les processus décisionnels pertinents au niveau local (problème central). L'intervention de la FZ contribue à améliorer l'égalité d'accès de la population à des services de base adéquats et durables par le biais du mécanisme national de transfert financier FADeC, conformément aux principes de bonne gouvernance (objectif du module). Il s'agit d'une continuation de l'engagement de la FZ dans le cadre des phases précédentes du projet. Les expériences acquises lors des phases I à IV (numéros BMZ 200666438, 201065739, 201365089, 201667179) sont notamment mises à profit dans le domaine du développement du mécanisme FADeC et du renforcement de la bonne gouvernance locale. Le projet soutient la stratégie COVID19 du gouvernement béninois. Le projet est un financement de type "panier". Le module contribue directement au programme de coopération au développement actuellement en vigueur, qui vise à ce que les responsabilités politiques, administratives et fiscales soient transférées aux collectivités territoriales décentralisées et que celles-ci soient en mesure de fournir des services de meilleure qualité et surtout axés sur les besoins, en particulier pour la population la plus pauvre.

Unterstützung des nationalen Programms zur Kleinbewässerungslandwirtschaft Gao II  Appui au Programme national d&apos Irrigation de Proximité - Gao. Kernproblem ŒDie Situation in Mali, vor allem im Norden, ist bis heute maßgeblich durch die Nachwirkungen der Krise von 2012/2013 und die zunehmende Invasion von islamischen Extremisten geprägt. Die Steigerung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion und die Schaffung von Beschäftigung spielen eine tragende Rolle für die Entwicklung Nord-Malis. Hier setzt das Vorhaben durch den Bau und die Bewirtschaftung von Bewässerungsinfrastruktur in Gao und Ménaka an. Œ ŒModulziel ŒBeitrag zur Nutzung des wirtschaftlichen Potentials in der Kleinbewässerung für eine nachhaltige und rentable Landwirtschaft sowie eine erhöhte Nahrungssicherheit und damit zur Stabilität in den jeweiligen Zielregionen (hier speziell: Gao, Ménaka). Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Anzahl an Bewässerungsperimetern, neu ausgebauten natürlichen Senken, Gartenbauperimetern, Lagerhallen und Transportkähnen soll erhöht und damit die landwirtschaftlicher Produktion gefördert werden. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒDirekte Zielgruppe der FZ Maßnahme ist die ländliche Bevölkerung in den Projektregionen Gao und Ménaka, die in absoluter Armut lebt. Die Jugend ist die größte arbeitssuchende Gruppe in Mali und profitiert damit in besonderem Maße von landwirtschaftlichen Investitionen. So auch die Malierinnen, die entscheidend für die Diversifizierung des Haushaltseinkommens und der Nahrungsmittel sind. Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 ŒDie Maßnahmen tragen insbesondere zum Ziel "Den Hunger beenden, Ernährungssicherheit und eine bessere Ernährung erreichen und eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft fördern" für nachhaltige Entwicklung bei.  Enjeu central ŒLa situation au Mali, surtout dans le nord, est encore aujourd'hui largement marquée par les séquelles de la crise de 2012/2013 et par l´invasion des groupes islamiques extrêmes. L'augmentation de la production agricole et la création d'emplois jouent un rôle essentiel dans le développement du Nord du Mali. C'est là qu'intervient le projet par la construction et la gestion d'infrastructures d'irrigation à Gao et Ménaka. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒContribuer à l'exploitation du potentiel économique dans la petite irrigation pour une agriculture durable et rentable ainsi qu'une sécurité alimentaire accrue et donc à la stabilité dans les régions cibles respectives (particulièrement Gao, Ménaka). Œ ŒPrincipaux extrants ŒAugmenter le nombre de périmètres d'irrigation, de mares naturelles nouvellement aménagées, de périmètres maraîchers, de magasins de stockage et de bateaux de transport et ainsi favoriser la production agricole. Œ ŒGroupe cible ŒLe groupe cible direct de l'action de la FC est la population rurale des régions du projet à Gao et Ménaka, qui vit dans une pauvreté absolue. Les jeunes sont le plus grand groupe de demandeurs d'emploi au Mali et profitent donc particulièrement des investissements agricoles. Il en va de même pour les femmes maliennes, car elles jouent un rôle crucial dans la diversification des revenus et des aliments des ménages.

Verbesserung der Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung in Timbuktu III  Renforcement du système d&apos alimentation en eau potable et d&apos assainissement de la ville de Tombouctou. Kernproblem ŒDie Wasserproduktion, Speicherkapazitäten sowie die Sanitärversorgung in der Stadt Timbuktu reichen derzeit nicht aus, um sämtliche Einwohner kontinuierlich zu versorgen. Die Unterversorgung der Bevölkerung Malis mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser und die unzureichende Verfügbarkeit sanitärer Einrichtungen stellen auch generell zentrale Entwicklungshemmnisse für den malischen Staat dar. In Timbuktu, der Stadt, die symbolisch für den gesamten strukturell unterversorgten Norden Malis steht, spielt die Erbringung adäquater Dienstleistungen in einem Schlüsselbereich der öffentlichen Versorgung auch eine wichtige Rolle bei der krisenbedingt notwendigen Legitimitätsstärkung staatlicher Strukturen und somit der Schaffung von Stabilität und Frieden. Œ ŒModulziel ŒDie FZ-Maßnahme knüpft an die Investitionsmaßnahem zur Erweiterung der Wasserproduktion und -speicherung sowie des Verteilnetz in Timbuktu und Investitionsmaßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Sanitärversorgung im Rahmen der ersten Phase des Vorhabens an. Neben des erhöhten Versorgungsgrads ist es weiterhin Ziel des Vorhabens, durch sichtbare staatliche Investitionen einen Beitrag zur Stabilisierung des Nordens zu leisten. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Wasserproduktion in der Stadt Timbuktu soll durch das Vorhaben mehr als verdoppelt und die Anschlussrate von derzeit 63% auf 80% erhöht werden, um somit eine kontinuierliche Wasserversorgung zu erreichen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die schnell wachsende Gesamtbevölkerung der Stadt Timbuktu mit ihren ca. 63.000 Einwohnern.

Stabilisierungsprogramm Ménaka  Programme de stabilisation à Ménaka. Das Ziel des Vorhabens ist, einen kurzfristig sichtbaren Beitrag zur Stabilisierung der neuen Verwaltungsregion Ménaka zu leisten und so den Friedensprozess im Norden Malis zu unterstützen. Über die Bereitstellung und Ausstattung von Regierungs- und Verwaltungsgebäuden (Komponente 1) werden die Handlungsfähigkeit und Sichtbarkeit des Staates gestärkt und so die Grundvoraussetzungen für die Wiederherstellung einer stabilen staatlichen Ordnung geschaffen. Gleichzeitig werden ergänzend einige sichtbare wirtschaftliche und soziale Basisinfrastrukturprojekte (Komponente 2) umgesetzt, um die Lebensbedingungen der lokalen Bevölkerung zu verbessern und die Legitimität des Staates zu stärken. Durch Maßnahmen zur Stärkung der Umsetzungskapazitäten (Komponente 3) werden die beteiligten Akteure (lokale Bauunternehmen, dezentrale Gebietskörperschaften, dekonzentrierte Sektorbehörden) in die Lage versetzt, die Umsetzung, den Betrieb und die Instandhaltung der Maßnahmen zu gewährleisten. Die Umsetzung des Programms erfolgt über die staatliche Agence d'exécution des travaux d'intérêt public pour l'emploi (AGETIPE), die im Auftrag der dezentralen Gebietskörperschaften (Collectivités Territoriales, CT) die Funktion des stellvertretenden Bauherrn (maître d'ouvrage délégué) übernimmt. Politischer Träger des Vorhabens ist das Ministère de l'Administration Territoriale et de la Décentralisation. Zur Finanzierung des Vorhabens stellt das BMZ 14,0 Mio. EUR bereit.  L'objectif du projet est de contribuer de manières visible et immédiate à la stabilisation de la nouvelle région administrative de Ménaka et ainsi de soutenir le processus de paix dans le nord du Mali. La mise en place et l'équipement de bâtiments gouvernementaux et administratifs (composante 1) renforcent la capacité et la visibilité de l'État en créant les conditions nécessaires au rétablissement d'un ordre public stable. Parallèlement, certains projets d'infrastructures économiques et sociales de base (composante 2) sont mis en oeuvre afin d'améliorer les conditions de vie de la population locale et de renforcer la légitimité de l'État. Par des mesures de renforcement des capacités (composante 3), les acteurs concernés (entreprises locales de construction, collectivités territoriales décentralisées, autorités sectorielles déconcentrées) seront capables d'assurer la mise en oeuvre, la gestion et la maintenance des mesures. Dans ce contexte, l'Agence d'exécution des travaux d'intérêt public pour l'emploi (AGETIPE), qui assume la fonction de maître d'ouvrage délégué sur mandat des Collectivités Territoriales (CT), est responsable de la mise en oeuvre du projet.

Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbeto im Kontext des West African Power Pool (WAPP)  Réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto dans le cadre de la West African Power Pool (WAPP). Das Programm sieht die Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbéto (65 MW) in Togo vor. Es umfasst Modernisierungsmaßnahmen sowie Consultingleistungen zur Planung und Durchführung des Vorhabens. Das Kraftwerk wurde von 1984 bis 1987 mit Mitteln der deutschen finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) gebaut und liefert seit 1988 Strom für Togo und sein Nachbarland Benin. Heute produziert Nangbéto den mit Abstand günstigsten Strom und ist die einzige genutzte erneuerbare Energiequelle beider Länder. Aus diesen Gründen betrachtet auch der regionale Energieverbund WAPP (West African Power Pool) die Rehabilitierung als Priorität. Œ ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, langfristig zu einer zuverlässigen Versorgung Togos und Benins mit kostengünstigem und umweltfreundlichem Strom beizutragen (FZ-Modulziel). Mit der Deckung des Strombedarfs der Haushalte, öffentlichen Einrichtungen und Unternehmen leistet die Maßnahme einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Entwicklung der Länder (übergeordnetes entwicklungspolitisches Ziel). Zudem wird ein positiver Beitrag zum globalen Klimaschutz geleistet (Vermeidung von über 51.493 Tonnen CO2/Jahr). Zielgruppe sind die derzeitigen und zukünftigen Stromkonsumenten (private Haushalte, Unternehmen, öffentliche Einrichtungen) in Benin und Togo. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens belaufen sich auf 26,05 Mio. EUR. Der deutsche Beitrag von 23 Mio. EUR (inkl. 4 Mio. EUR Vorratsprüfung) soll in Form eines FZ-Zuschusses dargestellt werden. Empfänger der Finanzierung ist die Communauté Electrique du Bénin (CEB). Die CEB ist ein beninisch-togolesisches Gemeinschaftsunternehmen, welches für die Elektrizitätserzeugung, -importe und -übertragung in beiden Ländern zuständig ist. Der Eigenanteil der CEB beträgt 3,05 Mio. EUR.  Le programme prévoit la réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto (65 MW) au Togo. Il comprend des mesures de réhabilitation et les prestations d'un ingénieur conseil pour la planification et le suivi du projet. L'aménagement hydroélectrique de Nangbéto fut construit entre 1984 et 1987, grâce entre autres, au budget de la Coopération allemande. La centrale fournit de l'électricité au Togo et à son pays voisin, le Bénin, depuis 1988. L'électricité produite par la centrale est la moins chère et la seule source d'énergie renouvelable actuellement en exploitation dans les deux pays. Dans ce contexte, le programme de réhabilitation est considéré comme un projet prioritaire du système d'Echanges d'Energie Electrique Ouest Africain (EEEOA). Œ ŒL'objectif du projet est de garantir à long terme une source d'approvisionnement électrique fiable, de moindre coût et respectueuse de l'environnement (Objectif FZ). En contribuant à la satisfaction des besoins en électricité des ménages, des services d'Etat et des entreprises, le projet participe durablement au développement économique et social des pays (objectif de la politique de développement). Par ailleurs, le projet contribuera à la lutte contre le changement climatique (évitement de CO2 estimé à 51.493 tonnes par an). Les bénéficiaires du projet sont les consommateurs actuels et futurs (ménages, entreprises, structures étatiques) au Bénin et au Togo. Œ ŒLe coût total du projet s'élève à EUR 26,05 M.

Programm zur Stärkung zentraler Governance-Strukturen  Programme de Renforcement des Structures Centrales de Gouvernance (PRSCG). Das FZ-Programm zur Stärkung zentraler Governance-Strukturen hat zum Ziel, durch ein verbessertes Informationsmanagement zu einer erhöhten Effizienz und Transparenz der öffentlichen Verwaltung insbesondere im Finanzwesen beizutragen. Ein zentrales Problem der beninischen Verwaltung ist die fehlende Vernetzung sowohl zwischen den Ministerien in Cotonou als auch mit den dekonzentrierten staatlichen Stellen und den Kommunen. Dies führt dazu, dass bereits vorhandene IT-Anwendungen im Bereich des öffentlichen Finanzwesens (z.B. für Budgetplanung, Auszahlungsmanagement, Vergabewesen) auf dekonzentrierter und dezentralisierter Ebene nur eingeschränkt genutzt werden können, was Verzögerungen, Ineffizienzen und mangelnde Transparenz bei der Datenverarbeitung zur Folge hat. Zukünftig werden alle IT-Anwendungen der Verwaltung webbasiert sein, so dass der Aufbau eines verlässlichen und dauerhaften Regierungsnetzes eine grundlegende Voraussetzung für deren Nutzung darstellt. Das Vorhaben umfasst daher den Aufbau eines Netzwerks für die Verwaltung zwischen den Ministerien und Behörden auf zentralstaatlicher Ebene als auch mit den dekonzentrierten Behörden des Finanzministeriums auf Präfektur- und kommunaler Ebene sowie ein nationales Datencenter. Zudem werden ausgewählte IT-Applikationen (Vergabesoftware SIGMAP und IP-Telefonie) unterstützt, um das finanzierte Regierungsnetz direkt in Wert zu setzen. In einer zweiten Phase (Vorratsprüfung) ist die Anbindung weiterer öffentlicher Stellen vorgesehen (Kommu-nalverwaltungen, Steuerbehörden etc.). Träger des Vorhabens ist die Agence des Services et Systèmes d'Information (ASSI), das Finanzministerium übernimmt eine Steuerungs- und Monitoringfunktion. Der Finanzierungsbeitrag der ersten Phase beläuft sich auf EUR 10,0 Mio.  Programme de Renforcement des Structures Centrales de Gouvernance (PRSCG)  Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Schaffung eines verlässlichen und sicheren Netzwerks für die öffentliche Verwaltung, das für die Einführung von neuen webbasierten IT-Anwendungen genutzt wird.

Office du Niger - Bewässerung N&apos Débougou IV in Mali  Office du Niger - Irrigation N&apos Débougou IV au Mali. Kernproblem ŒDie derzeit vorhandenen Bewässerungsflächen im Gebiet des Office du Niger (ON) in Zentralmali reichen noch nicht aus, um der dort stark wachsenden Bevölkerung eine ausreichende Lebensgrundlage zu bieten. Während die Nachfrage nach bewässerten Flächen weiterhin stark steigt, hat sich die durchschnittliche Betriebsgröße der kleinbäuerlichen Betriebe über die Jahre von idealerweise 3 ha auf ca. 1,6 ha verkleinert, was einen nachhaltigen und rentablen Betrieb erschwert. Infolgedessen ist die landwirtschaftliche Produktion großer Teile der Bevölkerung in der Projektregion nicht ausreichend, um deren Ernährungssicherung und ein ausreichendes Einkommen sowie die Zahlung der Wassergebühren und damit den nachhaltigen Betrieb der Bewässerungsinfrastruktur durch das Office du Niger gewährleisten zu können. Œ ŒModulziel ŒDie landwirtschaftliche Produktivität von Kleinbäuerinnen und Kleinbauern ist durch Sanierung und Ausweitung von Be- und Entwässerungsinfrastruktur im Gebiet des Office du Niger (Zone N'Débougou) verbessert. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒBewässerungs- und Entwässerungsinfrastruktur sind ordnungsgemäß saniert bzw. gebaut  das ON und die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer der Flächen sind befähigt, Œdiese angemessen zu managen und zu bewirtschaften  die geplanten Umweltmaßnahmen sind durchgeführt und das Management der Landrechte ist verbessert. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒDie Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die ländliche Bevölkerung in der Region, insbesondere sechs Dörfer (ca. 16.000 Personen, davon mehr als 50 % Frauen und Mädchen). Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 ŒDas Modul trägt zur Erreichung folgender der 17 vereinbarten Ziele bei: Keine Armut, kein Hunger, Geschlechtergleichheit, sauberes Trinkwasser und sanitäre Einrichtungen, gute Arbeit und Wirtschaftswachstum, Klimaschutz und Anpassung.  Enjeu central ŒLes surfaces irriguées actuellement disponibles dans la région de l'Office du Niger (ON) au Mali central ne suffisent pas encore à offrir des moyens de subsistance suffisants à la population en forte croissance. Alors que la demande de terres irriguées continue de croître fortement, la taille moyenne des petites exploitations agricoles a diminué au fil des ans, passant de 3 ha idéalement à environ 1,6 ha, ce qui rend difficile une exploitation durable et rentable.

Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbeto im Kontext des West African Power Pool (WAPP)  Réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto. Das Programm sieht die Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbéto (65 MW) in Togo vor. Es umfasst Modernisierungsmaßnahmen sowie Consultingleistungen zur Planung und Durchführung des Vorhabens. Das Kraftwerk wurde von 1984 bis 1987 mit Mitteln der deutschen finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) gebaut und liefert seit 1988 Strom für Togo und sein Nachbarland Benin. Heute produziert Nangbéto den mit Abstand günstigsten Strom und ist die einzige genutzte erneuerbare Energiequelle beider Länder. Aus diesen Gründen betrachtet auch der regionale Energieverbund WAPP (West African Power Pool) die Rehabilitierung als Priorität. Œ ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, langfristig zu einer zuverlässigen Versorgung Togos und Benins mit kostengünstigem und umweltfreundlichem Strom beizutragen (FZ-Modulziel). Mit der Deckung des Strombedarfs der Haushalte, öffentlichen Einrichtungen und Unternehmen leistet die Maßnahme einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Entwicklung der Länder (übergeordnetes entwicklungspolitisches Ziel). Zudem wird ein positiver Beitrag zum globalen Klimaschutz geleistet (Vermeidung von über 51.493 Tonnen CO2/Jahr). Zielgruppe sind die derzeitigen und zukünftigen Stromkonsumenten (private Haushalte, Unternehmen, öffentliche Einrichtungen) in Benin und Togo. Œ ŒDie Kosten der im Rahmen der Vorratsprüfung vorgestellten Maßnahmen betragen 8 Mio. EUR. Unter Berücksichtigung der genannten Maßnahmen belaufen sich die Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens auf 26,05 Mio. EUR. Der deutsche Gesamtbeitrag beträgt 23 Mio. EUR und soll in Form eines FZ-Zuschusses dargestellt werden. Empfänger der Finanzierung ist die Communtauté Electrique du Bénin (CEB). Die CEB ist ein beninisch-togolesisches Gemeinschaftsunternehmen, welches für die Elektrizitätserzeugung, -importe und -übertragung in beiden Ländern zuständig ist. Der Eigenanteil der CEB beträgt 3,05 Mio. EUR.  Le programme prévoit la réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto (65 MW) au Togo. Il comprend des mesures de réhabilitation et les prestations d'un ingénieur conseil pour la planification et le suivi du projet. L'aménagement hydroélectrique de Nangbéto fut construit entre 1984 et 1987, grâce entre autres, au budget de la Coopération allemande. La centrale fournit de l'électricité au Togo et à son pays voisin, le Bénin, depuis 1988. L'électricité produite par la centrale est la moins chère et la seule source d'énergie renouvelable actuellement en exploitation dans les deux pays. Dans ce contexte, le programme de réhabilitation est considéré comme un projet prioritaire du système d'Echanges d'Energie Electrique Ouest Africain (EEEOA). Œ ŒL'objectif du projet est de garantir à long terme une source d'approvisionnement électrique fiable, de moindre coût et respectueuse de l'environnement (Objectif FZ). En contribuant à la satisfaction des besoins en électricité des ménages, des services d'Etat et des entreprises, le projet participe durablement au développement économique et social des pays (objectif de la politique de développement). Par ailleurs, le projet contribuera à la lutte contre le changement climatique (évitement de CO2 estimé à 51.493 tonnes par an).

Agrarfinanzierung in Mali  Financement agricole au Mali. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens "Agrarfinanzierung Mali" soll der Zugang zu zielgruppenorientierten Finanzdienstleistungen für kleine und mittlere agrarische Unternehmen (KMA) entlang der unterschiedlichen landwirtschaftlichen Wertschöpfungsketten in ganz Mali verbessert und ausgeweitet werden. Das Vorhaben trägt somit zur Verbesserung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktivität und damit zur Ernährungssicherung, zur Schaffung und Sicherung von Einkommen und Arbeitsplätzen sowie zur Vertiefung und Verbreiterung des Finanzsystems bei. Langfristig kann damit ein Beitrag zur Armutsreduzierung geleistet werden. Œ ŒIn der zweiten Phase des FZ-Vorhabens geht es inhaltlich darum, das Geschäft der BNDA stärker auf die Förderung von kleineren Unternehmen (KKMU) im landwirtschaftlichen Bereich auszurichten. Hierfür benötigt die BNDA ein langfristiges Darlehen (Nachrangdarlehen) durch welches Darlehen an landwirtschaftliche KKMU refinanziert werden sollen. Hier hat sich die Relevanz im Vergleich zu Phase 1 aufgrund der weltweiten Corona-Pandemie weiter erhöht. Die BNDA hat aktuell einen sehr hohen Refinanzierungsbedarf für ihr langfristiges Kreditgeschäft, zu dessen Deckung mit ca. 14,6 Mio. EUR aus der FZ-SEWOH-Maßnahme beigetragen werden soll. Weiterhin benötigt die BNDA langfristige personelle Unterstützung zur Umsetzung einer neuen KKMU-Strategie. Für die Entwicklung dieser KKMU-Strategie wurde bereits ein SBF-finanziertes Consultingunternehmen beauftragt. Die Zielsetzung ist hier klar eine noch bessere Ausrichtung der BNDA auf kleinere landwirtschaftliche KKMU, u.a. durch die Digitalisierung, neue Finanzierungsprodukte oder Finanzierungspartner. Dabei sollen insbesondere die Potentiale zur Förderung agrarökologischer Ansätze ausgelotet und Vorschläge zur Förderung agrarökologisch arbeitender Unternehmen durch die BNDA gemacht werden. Zudem soll geprüft werden wie die Zielgruppe von MyAgro mit formellen Dienstleistungen der BNDA bedient werden können. Ebenfalls benötigt die BNDA personelle Unterstützung sowie einen Zuschuss für Soft- und Hardware zur Umsetzung ihrer Digitalisierungsstrategie. Für die Unterstützung der Umsetzung der KKMU- und der Digitalisierungsstrategie soll die FZ-SEWOH-Maßnahme bis zu 1,7 Mio. EUR beitragen.

Das FZ-Programm zur Stärkung zentraler Governance-Strukturen hat zum Ziel, durch ein verbessertes Informationsmanagement zu einer erhöhten Effizienz und Transparenz der öffentlichen Verwaltung insbesondere im Finanzwesen beizutragen. ŒEin großes Hindernis für die Umsetzung der ambitionierten Reformziele der beninischen Regierung ist weiterhin die fehlende Vernetzung der öffentlichen Verwaltung, insbesondere der dekonzentrierten Verwaltungsstrukturen und Kommunen. So können aufgrund fehlender Anbindung bereits vorhandene IT-Anwendungen im Bereich des öffentlichen Finanzwesens (z.B. für Budgetplanung, Vergabewesen) nur eingeschränkt genutzt werden, was Verzögerungen, Ineffizienzen und mangelnde Transparenz bei der Datenverarbeitung zur Folge hat. Zukünftig sollen alle IT-Anwendungen der Verwaltung webbasiert sein, so dass der Auf- und Ausbau eines verlässlichen und gesicherten Regierungsnetzes eine grundlegende Voraussetzung für deren Nutzung darstellt. Die zweite Phase des PRSCG zielt daher auf die Schaffung eines verlässlichen und sicheren Datennetzwerks für die öffentliche Verwaltung, insbesondere des Finanzwesens, ab, das für die Einführung von webbasierten IT-Anwendungen genutzt wird. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind die Mitarbeiter der zentralen und dezentralen staatlichen Behörden Benins, die das nationale Netzwerk und seine Anwendungen nutzen sowie die beninische Bevölkerung, die von einem effizienteren und transparenteren Verwaltungshandeln profitiert.Träger des Vorhabens ist die Agence des Services et Systèmes d'Information (ASSI), das Finanzministerium übernimmt eine Steuerungs- und Monitoringfunktion. Der Finanzierungsbeitrag der zweiten Phase beläuft sich auf 14,3 Mio. EUR.  Le Programme de Renforcement des Structures Centrales de Gouvernance (PRSCG) vise à contribuer à améliorer l'efficacité et la transparence de l'administration publique, en particulier dans le domaine des finances, grâce à une meilleure gestion de l'information. Cependant, le manque persistant de mise en réseau de l'administration publique, en particulier des structures administratives décentralisées et des communes, constitue un obstacle majeur à la réalisation des objectifs ambitieux de réforme du gouvernement béninois. En raison de l'absence de connectivité des applications informatiques déjà existantes dans le domaine des finances publiques (par exemple pour la planification budgétaire et les marchés publics), ces applications ne peuvent être utilisées que de manière limitée ce qui entraîne des retards, des inefficacités et un manque de transparence dans le traitement des données. A l'avenir, toutes les applications informatiques de l'administration seront basées sur le web. Dans ce sens, la mise en place et l'extension d'un réseau gouvernemental fiable et sécurisé constitue une condition fondamentale pour leur utilisation. La deuxième phase du PRSCG vise à créer un réseau de données fiable et sécurisé pour l'administration publique, en particulier pour les finances, qui sera utilisé pour l'introduction d'applications informatiques basées sur le web. Le groupe cible du projet est le personnel des administrations centrales et décentralisées de l'État béninois qui utilise le réseau national et ses applications, ainsi que la population béninoise qui bénéficie traitement administratif plus efficace et plus transparent. Le promoteur du projet est l'Agence des Services et Systèmes d'Information (ASSI), le ministère des Finances assume la fonction de pilotage et de suivi.

Unterstützung des nationalen Programms zur Kleinbewässerung  Appui au programme national de petite irrigation. Das Vorhaben zielt darauf ab, durch die Schaffung von Kleinbewässerungsanlagen und Landwirtschaftsinfrastruktur die Ernährungssituation der ländlichen Bevölkerung Malis zu verbessern. Dies geschieht sowohl durch eine erhöhte und gerechte Nutzung des Bewässerungspotenzials, durch eine nachhaltige und ressourcenschonende Bewirtschaftung der Anbauflächen als auch durch die Ausbildung von Frauen zu verbesserten Ernährungspraktiken. Darüber hinaus werden Themen der agrarökologischen Erzeugung und Diversifizierung sowie der nachhaltigen Inwertsetzung sowie Instandhaltung forciert. ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens sind ca. 50.000 Personen in den Regionen Mopti und Timbuktu. Zur Zielgruppe zählen vor allem Kleinbauernfamilien und Kleinunternehmer des Agrarsektors, mit einem expliziten Fokus auf Frauen und junge Menschen. Für die Durchführung die "Direction Nationale du Génie Rural" (DNGR) als nationaler Träger, unterstützt durch einen internationalen Consultant, verantwortlich, wodurch der malische Staat auch in sicherheitskritischen Regionen Präsenz zeigt und so zu Frieden und Stabilisierung beiträgt. Die Gesamtkosten des Programmes belaufen sich auf voraussichtlich 10,6 Mio. EUR, die sich in einen FZ-Beitrag von 10 Mio. EUR und einen Beitrag von 0,6 Mio. EUR, den der malische Staat und die Nutzer tragen, aufteilen.

Pistenprogramm Gao II  Pistes pour la Paix II. In der Region Gao lässt sich wie im gesamten Norden Malis ein Zusammenspiel aus einer sich verschlechternden Sicherheitslage und der schleppenden Umsetzung des Friedensabkommens von 2015 in Verbindung mit staatlicher Fragilität und vielschichtigen Strukturproblemen beobachten. ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist es, die Lebensbedingungen der Bevölkerung in Gao zu verbessern und so einen Beitrag zur Stabilisierung und Friedenskonsolidierung in der Region zu leisten. Hierfür werden vorrangig ländliche Pisten instandgesetzt. Weiterhin werden begleitende sozio-ökonomische Maßnahmen entlang der verbesserten Pisten finanziert, um die Inwertsetzung der sozio-ökonomischen Effekte der Pisten zu unterstützen und gleichzeitig die Resilienz der lokalen Bevölkerung zu stärken. Ebenso wie die Pistenabschnitte, werden die konkreten Maßnahmen im Zuge der Umsetzung unter enger Einbeziehung der lokalen Bevölkerung und Gebietskörperschaften bedarfsorientiert ausgewählt und können beispielsweise erwerbsorientierte Aktivitäten wie Marktinfrastruktur umfassen. Dabei soll die möglichst arbeitsintensive Gestaltung aller Baumaßnahmen ("cash for work") kurzfristige Einkommens- und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten schaffen, was gerade Jugendlichen eine Perspektive jenseits der Gewalt aufzeigen soll. Schließlich sollen die Kapazitäten der wichtigsten lokalen Akteure für Umsetzung, Betrieb und Instandhaltung der Einzelmaßnahmen begleitend gestärkt werden. Politischer Träger des Vorhabens ist das Ministère de l'Administration Territoriale et de la Décentralisation (MATD). Die Funktion des Projektträgers, verantwortlich für die Umsetzung des Vorhabens, übernimmt die Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (WHH) in Zusammenarbeit mit einer lokalen NRO. Als Zielgruppe profitiert vor allem die ländliche Bevölkerung in der Region Gao von den Maßnahmen. Die Implementierung begann im Januar 2022 und ist auf einen Zeitraum von 42 Monaten ausgelegt.  Dans la région de Gao, comme dans l'ensemble du nord du Mali, on observe la combinaison d'une détérioration de la situation sécuritaire et de la lenteur de la mise en oeuvre de l'accord de paix de 2015, associée à la fragilité de l'État et des problèmes structurels à multiples niveaux. ŒL'objectif du programme est de contribuer à la stabilisation et à la consolidation de la paix dans la région de Gao à travers l'amélioration des conditions de vie de populations. Pour cela, l'accent est mis sur la réhabilitation des pistes rurales. En plus, des activités connexes seront financées le long des pistes améliorées pour contribuer à renforcer leur impact socio-économique et en même temps renforcer la résilience de la population locale. Tout comme les tronçons de pistes, les mesures concrètes au cours de la mise en oeuvre seront sélectionnées avec la participation étroite de la population et des collectivités territoriales en vue de leurs besoins, et peuvent inclure, par exemple, des activités économiques marchandes, telles que des infrastructures de marché. La réalisation des travaux de construction, dans la mesure du possible, en haute intensité de main d'oeuvre (« cash for work ») doit permettre de créer des opportunités temporaires de revenus et d'emplois, ce qui doit montrer aux jeunes en particulier une perspective au-delà de la violence. Enfin, les capacités des acteurs locaux les plus importants pour la mise en oeuvre, l'exploitation et la maintenance des mesures individuelles doivent être renforcées. Le Ministère de l'Administration Territoriale et de la Décentralisation (MATD) agit comme promoteur politique du projet. Le promoteur du projet, responsable pour la mise en oeuvre du programme, est la Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (WHH) en coopération avec une ONG locale. Le principal groupe cible qui bénéficiera de ces mesures est la population rurale de la région de Gao. La mise en oeuvre a commencé en janvier 2022 et est prévue pour une période de 42 mois.  Das Ziel des Programms ist, durch die arbeitsintensive Sanierung ländlicher Straßen sowie die Bereitstellung ergänzender Basisinfrastruktur einen Beitrag zur Stabilisierung und Friedenskonsolidierung in Gao zu leisten.  Dans la région de Gao, comme dans l'ensemble du nord du Mali, on observe la combinaison d'une détérioration de la situation sécuritaire et de la lenteur de la mise en oeuvre de l'accord de paix de 2015, associée à la fragilité de l'État et des problèmes structurels à multiples niveaux. ŒL'objectif du programme est de contribuer à la stabilisation et à la consolidation de la paix dans la région de Gao à travers l'amélioration des conditions de vie de populations. Pour cela, l'accent est mis sur la réhabilitation des pistes rurales. En plus, des activités connexes seront financées le long des pistes améliorées pour contribuer à renforcer leur impact socio-économique et en même temps renforcer la résilience de la population locale. Tout comme les tronçons de pistes, les mesures concrètes au cours de la mise en oeuvre seront sélectionnées avec la participation étroite de la population et des collectivités territoriales en vue de leurs besoins, et peuvent inclure, par exemple, des activités économiques marchandes, telles que des infrastructures de marché. La réalisation des travaux de construction, dans la mesure du possible, en haute intensité de main d'oeuvre (« cash for work ») doit permettre de créer des opportunités temporaires de revenus et d'emplois, ce qui doit montrer aux jeunes en particulier une perspective au-delà de la violence. Enfin, les capacités des acteurs locaux les plus importants pour la mise en oeuvre, l'exploitation et la maintenance des mesures individuelles doivent être renforcées. Le Ministère de l'Administration Territoriale et de la Décentralisation (MATD) agit comme promoteur politique du projet. Le promoteur du projet, responsable pour la mise en oeuvre du programme, est la Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (WHH) en coopération avec une ONG locale.

Strengthening quality infrastructure for the soy value chain in Benin. The soy sector in Benin has been developing very dynamically for years. However, quality problems, both of seeds and soybeans and of processed soy products, are an obstacle to sustainable growth of the sector. In particular, there is a lack of protection for consumers. Improved and proven quality could also open new markets for the soy sector. However, the quality services available for the soy sector in Benin are insufficient.
The project provides advisory services and capacity development measures for staff and managers within Benin's quality infrastructure institutions. 
The project aims to improve the conditions for increasing the quality all along the soy value chain.
Key measures for achieving the objectives are support for standardization, specialized trainings for laboratory staff and the procurement of equipment for laboratories with the aim of offering more quality services. In addition, a demand-driven and strategically oriented external communication of the institutions in charge of quality infrastructure is supported. 
The project's implementing partners are the quality infrastructure institutions under the Ministry of Agriculture and the Benin Agency for Standardization, Metrology and Quality Control. The political partner is the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Among the main beneficiaries of the project are particularly women who work in soy processing as micro-entrepreneurs.
The project is being implemented in close cooperation with a parallel measure of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Benin.  The project aims to improve the conditions for increasing the quality all along the soy value chain focusing on extending the quality infrastructure services.

Ländliche Finanzierung Benin II (VPT)  Financement rural au Bénin II. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens "Ländliche Finanzierung Benin Phase I" soll der Zugang zu zielgruppenorientierten, nachhaltigen Finanzdienstleistungen für ländliche kleinste, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen in ganz Benin verbessert und so erhöhte Investitionen in Produktions- und Betriebsmittel ermöglicht werden. Das Vorhaben trägt somit zur Verbesserung der Produktivität im ländlichen Raum und damit zur Ernährungssicherung, zur Schaffung und Sicherung von Einkommen und Arbeitsplätzen sowie zur Vertiefung und Verbreiterung des Finanzsystems bei. Langfristig kann damit ein Beitrag zur Armutsreduzierung geleistet werden. ŒDas Vorhaben hat ein Volumen von ca. 14,5 Mio. EUR, die der Republik Benin im Rahmen der Sonderinitiative EINEWELT ohne Hunger (SEWOH) als Zuschuss der Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Der Projektträger wird durch den ihm vom Empfänger als Nachrangdarlehen weitergeleiteten Teil der FZ-SEWOH-Mittel in der Lage sein, seinen Wachstumskurs und damit die Ausweitung des Darlehensgeschäftes fortzusetzen. Durch den vom Empfänger an ihn als Zuschuss weitergeleiteten Teil der FZ-SEWOH-Mittel kann die Kosteneffizienz des Trägers weiter gesteigert werden. Neben der Digitalisierung der Kernsoftware des Trägers soll dabei auch die Digitalisierung der in Phase I entwickelten Kreditprodukte unterstützt werden. ŒWie auch in Phase I ist für Phase II ein Durchführungsconsultant vorgesehen, um den Erfolg der Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen sicherzustellen. Die Förderung der FECECAM inmitten eines als schwierig einzustufenden Umfelds stärkt den Finanzsektor und wirkt strukturbildend auf das Angebot an landwirtschaftlichen Finanzdienstleistungen.  Le projet "Financement rural Bénin Phase I" vise à améliorer l'accès à des services financiers durables et ciblés pour les micro, petites et moyennes entreprises rurales dans tout le Bénin et à permettre ainsi des investissements accrus dans les moyens de production et d'exploitation. Le projet contribue ainsi à l'amélioration de la productivité dans les zones rurales et donc à la sécurité alimentaire, à la création et au maintien de revenus et d'emplois ainsi qu'à l'approfondissement et à l'élargissement du système financier. À long terme, il peut ainsi contribuer à la réduction de la pauvreté. ŒLe projet a un volume de ca. 14,5 millions d'euros qui sont mis à la disposition de la République du Bénin sous forme d'aide non remboursable dans le cadre de l'initiative spéciale UN SEUL MONDE SANS FAIM (SEWOH). Grâce à la partie des fonds de la Cooperation Financière-SEWOH qui lui est transférée par le bénéficiaire sous forme de prêt subordonné, le promoteur du projet sera en mesure de poursuivre sa croissance et donc d'étendre ses activités de prêt. La partie des fonds FZ-SEWOH qui lui est transférée par le bénéficiaire sous forme de subvention permettra d'améliorer encore l'efficacité des coûts du promoteur. Outre la numérisation du logiciel de base de l'institution, la numérisation des produits de crédit développés au cours de la phase I doit également être soutenue. ŒComme pour la phase I, un consultant en matière de mise en uvre est prévu pour la phase II afin de garantir le succès des mesures de numérisation. Le soutien de la FECECAM, dans un contexte que l'on peut qualifier de difficile, renforce le secteur financier et a un effet structurant sur l'offre de services financiers agricoles.

Programm Randstädtische Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung III (VPT)  Programme Eau Potable et Assainissement III (VPT). Kernproblem ŒRasante Wachstumsraten in urbanen Gebieten stellen die beninische Wasserversorgung jedoch vor enorme Herausforderungen. Das schnelle Wachstum der Städte im Umkreis von Cotonou führt zu prekären Versorgungssituationen insbesondere in den Stadtrandgebieten, wie zum Beispiel auch im Versorgungssystem Porto-Novo/Sèmè-Kpodji. Die Unterversorgung der Bevölkerung Benins mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Trinkwasser stellt zentrale Entwicklungshemmnisse dar. Œ ŒModulziel ŒZiel des FZ-Moduls ist die nachhaltige Sicherstellung einer ausreichenden Versorgung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem und vor Abwasser und Fäkalien geschütztem Trinkwasser in der Projektregion, insbesondere des Versorgungsgebiets Porto-Novo/Sèmè-Kpodji. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Phase III ergänzt die vorstehenden Phasen durch Investitionen im östlichen Teilgebiet des Großraums Cotonou. Sie finanziert insbesondere den Ausbau der Wasseraufbereitungs-, Speicher- und Verteilkapazitäten im Versorgungsgebiet Porto-Novo/Sèmè-Kpodji. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒDurch die Verdichtung und Erweiterung der bestehenden Wasserversorgungsnetze erhalten 70.000 überwiegend sozial schwache Einwohner einen neuen oder verbesserten Trinkwasseranschluss in Sèmè-Kpodji.

Le sous-approvisionnement de la population béninoise en eau potable de qualité hygiénique constitue un obstacle majeur au développement. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒL'objectif du module de coopération au développement est de garantir durablement un approvisionnement suffisant en eau potable hygiéniquement irréprochable et protégée contre les eaux usées et les matières fécales dans la région du projet, en particulier dans la zone d'approvisionnement Porto-Novo/Sèmè-Kpodji. Œ ŒExtrants principaux ŒLa phase III complète les phases précédentes par des investissements dans la partie est de l'agglomération de Cotonou.

Digital solutions to achieve general health protection. The Tanzanian government plans to introduce mandatory health insurance for the entire population (approx. 56 million people). The systems and processes of the national health insurer NHIF are currently designed to manage around 3.6 million members. In order to handle an increase in its membership base, it is necessary to expand the IT structure and harmonize organizational processes. This is particularly important in view of the challenge to also include poor population groups in rural areas. The project aims to develop context-specific digital solutions for core business processes of the NHIF that will be used to efficiently manage a growing and expanded membership base. The specific digital solutions, e.g. for claim management, membership registration, data management or customer communication, will be developed with the involvement of the insurer's IT staff and future users.

Wiederaufforstung und Waldschutz durch Kleinbauern  Reflorestamento e Proteção Florestal através de Pequenos Agricultores. Entwaldung und nicht angepasste Landnutzung führen zur Degradierung der natürlichen Ressourcen und beeinträchtigen die Wasserproduktionskapazität der Quellen in der Region Rio Doce. Das Vorhaben leistet daher einen Beitrag zur Wiederaufforstung und den Waldschutz durch Kleinbauern. Œ ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist es, Wälder auf degradierten landwirtschaftlichen Flächen wieder aufzuforsten und Quellen wiederherzustellen. Das Vorhaben trägt somit zum Schutz des globalen Klimas (SGD 13), zum Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt (SDG 15) und zur Verfügbarkeit und nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung von Wasser (SDG 6) bei. Œ ŒDie Zuschussmittel des FZ-Moduls in Höhe von 13,1 Mio. Euro dienen der Finanzierung von Aufforstungen mit heimischen Baumarten, sodass Quellen wiederhergestellt werden können. Zudem werden vier Demonstrationseinheiten zur gezielten Förderung der Agroforstwirtschaft sowie Maßnahmen zur Umweltbildung finanziert. Œ ŒDer Empfänger und Projektträger ist die brasilianische Nichtregierungsorganisation (NRO) Instituto Terra mit Sitz in Aimorés, im Bundesstaat Minas Gerais. WWF Brasilien fungiert als Kooperationspartner. Als Zielgruppe profitieren vor allem lokale Kleinbauern und deren Familien.

Œ ŒDas Vorhaben wird im tropischen Küstenwald Brasiliens, der Mata Atlântica, umgesetzt. Das Projektgebiet erstreckt sich über die Bundesstaaten Minas Gerais und Espírito Santo.  O desmatamento e o uso inadequado do solo levam à degradação dos recursos naturais e afetam a capacidade de produção de água das nascentes e das áreas de recarga hídrica na bacia do Rio Doce. O projeto contribui, portanto, para o reflorestamento e à proteção florestal através de pequenos produtores. Œ ŒO objetivo do projeto é reflorestar as terras agrícolas degradadas e restaurar as nascentes e áreas de recarga hídrica.

Œ ŒOs recursos da Cooperação Financeira, no valor de até 13,1 milhões de Euros, serão utilizados para financiar o reflorestamento com espécies de árvores nativas, para que as nascentes possam ser restauradas.

African Local Currency Bond Fund (ALCB Fund). The mission of the ALCB Fund is to promote corporate local currency bond markets as a viable source of funding in Africa. The primary activity of the Fund is to make investments in local currency bonds issued by non-sovereign entities in African countries. In this respect, the Fund acts as an anchor investor and aims at mobilizing local investors to invest alongside the Fund. ŒThe Fund's ultimate beneficiaries are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private lower income households, who will benefit from the issuer's improved or expanded capability to provide financial services for, or direct investments in, housing, education, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy and energy efficiency. ŒThe key developmental challenge for African bond markets is to increase deal-flow and capital market experience of issuers, investors and intermediaries. The ALCB Fund offers several interventions. To help bring new deals to market, the ALCB Fund acts as an anchor investor in first-time or innovative bond issuances by local entities. The Fund also provides technical assistance to support bond issuances, which may include reviewing bond documentation to improve documentation standards  supporting public listings to support market transparency  and encouraging credit rating to enhance the credit appraisal standards of the market. ŒThe supported bond issuers are typically financial institutions, corporates in the real economy or "special purpose vehicles" for structured finance transactions.

Global Health Investment Fund (GHIF). The objective of the FC module is the availability of new and improved health products at the lowest possible prices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to combat poverty-related diseases and to improve sexual and reproductive health and mother-child health. Œ ŒIn 2012, the BMZ made EUR 10 million available. KfW disbursed this as a repayable grant to the Global Health Investment Corporation (GHIC). The GHIC is the umbrella organisation, founder and managing member of the first target fund, the Global Health Investment Fund (GHIF). GHIC invested the provided capital in this fund in December 2012. The term of the fund was ten years with an option to extend, currently until the end of 2023. The fund had made twelve investments by 2018. Due to the economic success, all investors have received their investments back. In 2021, it was agreed to invest the German funds of up to EUR 10 million in another target fund, the Women's and Children's Health Tech Fund (WCHTF). Œ ŒThe WCHTF is intended to contribute to the increased and cost-effective availability of new and improved health products and technology in the field of mother-child and youth health in LMIC. This is because the development of health products and technologies as well as access to them for women, children and adolescents, which are particularly applicable in LMIC, continue to be systematically neglected worldwide. Accordingly, these population groups are structurally disadvantaged. The target fund thus explicitly focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals SDG 3 and SDG 5, and indirectly SDG 1, 8 and SDG 10. It also promotes increased cooperation with the private sector for development cooperation.

Climate Insurance Fund II (Trust Funds). Developing countries (DC) are particularly affected by the increase in environmental disasters as a result of climate change and suffer higher losses due to natural disasters relative to their economic strength than OECD countries. Households, businesses and public authorities in DCs generally have little or no access to insurance solutions that could help manage the economic consequences of severe weather disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. Œ ŒAs a contribution to climate adaptation, the German G7 presidency therefore launched the InsuResilience Initiative in 2015, succeeded by the G20 InsuResilience Global Partnership. The InsuResilience Investment Fund (IIF, previously called the Climate Insurance Fund) is a contribution of German Financial Cooperation (FC) to this initiative. The IIF aims to increase capacity in DC to deal with impacts and adapt to climate change by improving the supply and use of extreme weather insurance. These help mitigate the costs of consequences and associated financial and sometimes existential risks for poor and vulnerable affected people (such as low-income households, microfinance clients, and farms in DCs). In addition, the Fund is pursuing the further development of insurance products among investees to provide additional incentives for climate change adaptation measures. ŒTo achieve these goals, the IIF provides equity investments as well as loans, guarantees or so-called contingency loans to insurance companies or intermediaries working with them (e.g. brokers and financial institutions). In addition to the financing measures, advisory and training measures are financed for the development of needs-oriented insurance policies, the empowerment of investment recipients, the design of simple, understandable and fair insurance policies in the sense of responsible finance, and, if necessary, measures to promote the basic financial education of policyholders (financial literacy). To enable the development of financially sustainable insurance solutions for extreme weather risks, the IIF will also support market development in the reinsurance sector where necessary. In order to support the introduction of new insurance products, the Fund will additionally provide temporary and limited funding to reduce insurance premiums for end-insureds.

The FC funds are to be used exclusively for SFD education projects. ŒThe FC project comprises the expansion, rehabilitation and demand-oriented construction of primary and secondary schools in rural communities in Yemen. In addition, the SFD carries out measures to train teaching staff and raise awareness among the target population with regard to enrolment of girls. The objective of the FC measure is thus to increase access to and use of primary and secondary schools in rural areas. The target group are pupils from grades 1 to 9 in the programme area. We assume that in Phase 1 around 5,500 children will benefit directly from the FC measure. Thus, the project makes a direct contribution to the overall objective of German bilateral DC in the education sector, which summarises the objectives of the national strategies for primary and secondary education: "Children and young people receive and use access to an appropriate range of education in primary and secondary education". ŒIn a first phase, we propose to co-finance the SFD education programme in the amount of EUR 5.5 million (FC grant). The Yemeni government's own contribution amounts to around EUR 0.55 million. A second phase with an additional EUR 10 million of FC financing (inventory control share) can be implemented in parallel from 2015.

Small and medium-sized irrigation perimeters (Accompanying Measure). With a supply of renewable fresh water resources of approx. 650 m³/capita/year, Morocco is exposed to a chronic and constantly worsening shortage of fresh water and is therefore considered to be water-scarce. Nevertheless, in many regions of Morocco, the majority of the available fresh water resources (approx. 80-90%) are used for agricultural irrigation. In view of the resulting continuous lowering of the groundwater table, the main challenge in the field of agricultural irrigation lies in reducing the constantly high water consumption due to ongoing dynamic socio-economic developments. Other problems facing agriculture are the increasing scarcity of resources due to climate change and the limited availability of water due to unfavorable seasonal rainfall patterns. Œ ŒThis is the starting point for the project, which aims to improve the mobilization and distribution of water by increasing production areas and yields and using efficient irrigation methods. The rehabilitation measures planned as part of the project cover the entire spectrum of hydraulic infrastructure - from water catchment to water distribution through primary and secondary canals. This is also intended to contribute to improving living conditions (including increasing incomes) in the Souss-Massa project region. The target group of the project are the small farms in the project region, whose living conditions are characterized by low incomes and insufficient employment opportunities (approx. 35,000 people). By improving subsistence levels, the program has a direct impact on the poor rural population. To ensure the success of the project, the regional project executing agencies are to be supported by a complementary measure and the water user communities by project-related basic and advanced training measures.

Die Treuhandbeteiligung i.H.v. insgesamt 9,5 Mio. EUR ermöglicht JAIDA den marokkanische Mikrofinanzinstituten (Associations de Micro Crédit, AMC) Refinanzierungsmittel zur Verfügung zu stellen und fördert somit das nachhaltige Wachstum der Kreditvergabe an Mikrounternehmen (Kleinst- und Kleinunternehmen, KKU). Das wiederum versetzt KKUs in die Lage Finanzierungslücken zu decken und Investitionen zu tätigen, was positive Einkommens- und Beschäftigungswirkungen hat. ŒJAIDA dient auch der Mobilisierung privater Finanzierungsquellen (Banken und Versicherungen in Marokko) und unterstützt damit die Verbindung zwischen den AMC und dem marokkanischen Kapitalmarkt sowie die Koordinierung von Geberaktivitäten im Mikrofinanzsektor. Als flexibles Finanzierungs- und Beratungsinstrument unterstützt JAIDA auch bei Marktveränderungen die AMC in ihrem Mikrofinanzgeschäft und fördert transparente Strukturen im Sektor. ŒDas Vorhaben umfasst die Phasen I-III (Serienvorhaben) der laufenden Projekte "Mikrofinanzierung" und "Refinanzierungsfonds Mikrofinanzierung JAIDA". Die FZ-Maßnahme besteht aus einer Treuhandbeteilung an JAIDA und deren Aufstockung in drei Phasen auf insgesamt 9,5 Mio. EUR, was einem Anteil von 31,4% am Eigenkapital des Fonds entspricht.

Support of a Pan-African quality infrastructure. African developing countries have so far been able to exploit the advantages offered by globalisation relatively little compared to countries in other developing regions due to a number of internal development obstacles and unfavourable framework conditions for the private sector. This is reflected, among other things, in Africa's almost steadily declining share of world exports, but also in the low weight of intra-African trade.
A prerequisite for participation in trade, as well as for ensuring consumer, health and environmental protection, is that trade goods and services comply with agreed standards and technical regulations. This conformity must not only be proven (conformity assessment), but the process itself must comply with international agreements and be mutually recognised. This network of standards, measurement, testing, certification and accreditation is called the quality infrastructure. The African continent as a whole does not yet meet the requirements of an internationally recognised quality infrastructure and complies with existing international obligations only in individual cases (core problem).  The African integration is supported by efficient Pan African institutions of Quality Infrastructure.

Ziel des Programms "Effizienzsteigerung Trinkwasser" ist die kontinuierliche, bedarfsgerechte und effizientere Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser. Damit zielt das Programm außerdem auf eine Anpassung an den Klimawandel. Dafür sollen in ca. 40-50 marokkanischen Zentren landesweit gezielte Investitionsmaßnahmen im Bereich der Produktion und Verteilung von Trinkwasser, wie u. a. Modernisierung und Rehabilitierung von Produktionsanlagen, Ferntransportleitungen und Verteilungssystemen, Einführung der elektronischen Fernleittechnik, Ersatz von veralteten Pumpen, durchgeführt werden. Diese dienen der Wasserverlustreduzierung und der Erhöhung der betrieblichen Effizienz der Wasserversorgung (WV) der nationalen Trinkwasserbehörde, des Office National de l'Eau Potable (ONEE). ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens sind (1) alle städtischen und ländlichen Einwohner Marokkos, die direkt oder indirekt über die zu rehabilitierenden und zu modernisierenden Produktions- und Transporteinrichtungen versorgt werden, (2) sowie die Wohnbevölkerung der Programmorte, deren Trinkwasserverteilungsnetze zur Rehabilitierung durch ONEE anstehen. ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Programms belaufen sich auf rund 101,0 Mio. EUR und setzen sich zusammen aus Investitionskosten und Kosten für personelle Unterstützung. Die Gemeinschaftsfinanzierung wird im Rahmen der Europäischen Nachbarschaftsinvestitionsfazilität (NIF) unter der Federführung der KfW und unter Beteiligung der Kofinanziers Europäischen Kommission (EC) und Agence Française de Développement (AFD) realisiert.

KMU Entwicklungsgesellschaft Marokko  PME Croissance. Marokkos Wirtschaft hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren insgesamt günstig entwickelt. Das Wachstum war jedoch starken Schwankungen unterworfen und die Arbeitslosigkeit ist hoch. Um die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung zu stabilisieren und die Arbeitslosenquote zu senken, spielen KKMU eine wichtige Rolle, da sie 90% der Unternehmen ausmachen und ca. 50% aller Arbeitsplätze stellen. Tunesische KMU sind mit diversen Beschränkungen konfrontiert, vor allem mit mangelndem Zugang zu Kapital. So können KMU ihr Wachstumspotenzial nicht voll ausschöpfen und nicht so viele Arbeitsplätze wie möglich schaffen. Œ ŒUm diese "Finanzierungslücke" zu schließen, ist 2012 auf Initiative der marokkanischen Regierung die Beteiligungsgesellschaft PME Croissance entstanden. Das Vorhaben stellt PME Croissance Eigenkapital zur Verfügung, mit dem sich PME Croissance an KMU beteiligt und sie auf ihrem Wachstumspfad unterstützt. Œ ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist, dass erfolgreiche, marokkanische kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) ihr Wachstum erhöht haben, positive Beschäftigungseffekte erzielt haben und von einem verbesserten Zugang zu angemessenen Finanzdienstleistungen profitieren. Œ ŒProjektträger ist die marokkanische Beteiligungsgesellschaft PME Croissance (PMEC), an der die KfW eine Treuhandbeteiligung in Höhe von 4 Mio. EUR eingegangen ist. Das Fondsmanagement wird durch die erfahrene private Fondsmanagementfirma TunInvest, mit ihrem marokkanischen Ableger Marocinvest, wahrgenommen. PMEC investiert Eigenkapital oder eigenkapitalähnliche Mittel in erfolgversprechende und innovative KMUs und unterstützt als Teil des Managements den Aufbau, die Expansion sowie den Übergang von familiengeführten Unternehmen in Kapitalgesellschaften. Œ ŒPMEC hat Mittelzusagen in Höhe von 452 Mio. MAD (ca. 41 Mio. EUR) erhalten. Das Kapital wurde in 13 KMU mit einem Jahresumsatz von weniger als 100 Mio. MAD (rd. 9 Mio. EUR) investiert. Die Laufzeit der Gesellschaft ist auf maximal 12 Jahre festgesetzt (bis 2024).  Morocco's economy has developed favorably overall in recent years. However, growth has been subject to strong fluctuations and unemployment is high. In order to stabilize economic development and reduce the unemployment rate, MSMEs play an important role, as they account for 90% of enterprises and provide about 50% of all jobs. Tunisian SMEs face various constraints, most notably a lack of access to capital. As a result, SMEs are unable to fully realize their growth potential and create as many jobs as would be possible. Œ ŒTo close this financing gap, the PME Croissance equity fund was created in 2012 at the initiative of the Moroccan government. The project provides PME Croissance with equity capital, which it uses to invest in SMEs and support them on their growth path. Œ ŒThe objective of the project is that successful Moroccan small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have increased their growth, achieved positive employment effects and benefit from improved access to appropriate financial services. Œ ŒOur project executing agency is the Moroccan investment company PME Croissance (PMEC), in which KfW holds an equity investment as trustee for the BMZ of EUR 4 million. The fund is managed by the experienced private fund management company TunInvest, with its Moroccan office Marocinvest. PMEC invests equity or equity-like funds in promising and innovative SMEs and supports them as part of their management in the establishment of their businesses, their expansion as well as the transition of family-run businesses into corporations. Œ ŒPMEC has received funding commitments of MAD 452 million (approximately EUR 41 million). The capital was invested in 13 SMEs with annual turnover of less than MAD 100 million (about EUR 9 million). The lifetime of PMEC is set for a maximum of 12 years (until 2024).

Trinkwasserversorgung Taroudant  Alimentation en eau potable de Taroudant. Das Vorhaben sichert nachhaltig die gegenwärtig aufgrund von Grundwasserabsenkungen akut gefährdete Trinkwasserversorgung der zentral im Souss-Tal gelegenen Stadt Taroudant durch den Bau einer Ferntransportleitung einschließlich Trinkwasseraufbereitungsanlage und deren Anschluss an den Staudamm Aoulouz. Gleichzeitig sollen in einer späteren Investitionsphase im Einzugsbereich der Ferntransportleitung gelegene kleinere Zentren und ländliche Dorfgruppen über Stichleitungen versorgt werden. Bei der Auslegung von Wasseraufbereitungsanlage und Fernleitung ist die Bedarfsdeckung der Dorfgruppen berücksichtigt. Der Anschuss der Dorfgruppen wird vom ONEE eigenständig geplant und durchgeführt und ist damit nicht Bestandteil des Vorhabens. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, die nachhaltig gesicherte Versorgung der Stadtbevölkerung von Taroudant mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser. Zusätzlich wer-den die Voraussetzungen geschaffen, die Landbevölkerung von unzureichend versorgten Dörfern im Souss-Tal durch Anschluss an die Fernleitung mit sauberem Trinkwasser zu versorgen. Bereits im Jahre 2009 konnte der städtische Bedarf in Taroudant aufgrund der Absenkung der Grundwasserspiegel nicht mehr durch die verfügbaren Pumpkapazitäten aus Tiefbrunnen gedeckt werden. Laut den Prognosen des Wasserwirtschaftsamtes für die Region Souss Massa (ABHSM) werden sich die Entnahmemengen aus Tiefbrunnen mittel- bis langfristig halbieren. Die Sicherung der Trinkwasserversorgung im Programmgebiet mit zusätzlichem Oberflächenwasser aus dem Stausee Aoulouz wird angesichts des rapide sinkenden Grundwasserspiegels im Souss-Tal notwendig. ŒZielgruppe ist die kleinstädtische Bevölkerung im Projektgebiet sowie mittelbar die ländliche Bevölkerung in der Souss Ebene der Provinz Taroudant. In Taroudant erreicht der Anschlussgrad über Hausanschlüsse 95 %, die Zielgruppe ist nicht geschlechtsspezifisch zu differenzie-ren. In den ländlichen Gebieten sind Frauen als Hauptverantwortliche für Wasserbeschaffung, Wassertransport und Wasserverwendung der bedeutendste Teil der Zielgruppe. Bei der Bevölkerung handelt es sich um überwiegend Arme, so dass das Vorhaben einen unmittelbaren Armutsbezug hat (Beitrag zur Erreichung des MDG 7 Unterziel 10). ŒDie Gesamtkosten der Investitionsmaßnahmemaß betragen rd. 34 Mio. EUR. Davon werden bis zu 21,0 Mio. EUR (61 %) durch ein zinssubventioniertes Darlehen finanziert. Die restlichen 39 % der Investitionskosten werden durch den Träger finanziert. Die Zinssubventionsmittel in Höhe von 2,5 Mio. EUR wurden aus umprogrammierten Mitteln der Begleitmaßnahme für das Sektorprogramm IV (BMZ-Nr. 2007 70 123) finanziert.

Wasserversorgung (AoD)  AEP (AoD). Die dem üblichen Lebensniveau in marokkanischen Städten entsprechende Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Trinkwasser ist, durch den fehlenden Anschluss armer Haushalte an die städtischen Trinkwasserversorgungssysteme, nicht in allen Städten und Stadtgebieten gleichermaßen gewährleistet. . Ziel des im offenen Programmansatz konzipierten FZ-Moduls ist es, die Versorgung der Bevölkerung ausgewählter periurbaner Gebiete sowie bisher nicht angeschlossene Stadtviertel mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser durch den Anschluss an die städtischen Trinkwasserversorgungssysteme zu sichern. Dadurch sollen soziale Disparitäten in den Städten abgebaut werden. Das Modulziel soll mittels eines "Aid on Delivery (AoD)"-Ansatzes erreicht werden. Die ergebnisabhängige Zahlung einer AoD-Subvention (oder "AoD-Prämie") soll bewirken, dass der Anschluss der Viertel im Vergleich zu den bisherigen Erfahrungen deutlich verkürzt wird. Zielgruppe des AoD-Programms sind ca. 150.000 Bewohner von etwa 350 bis 400 periurbanen Stadtvierteln, aber auch von unversorgten "Inseln" in den Stadtgebieten, die bisher nicht an die städtischen Trinkwassernetze angeschlossen sind und sich derzeit noch aus anderen Quellen (öffentliche Zapfstellen, Brunnen, Nachbarn) mit Trinkwasser versorgen müssen. Die Gesamtkosten des Investitionsvorhabens betragen nach vorläufigen Schätzungen ca. 15,4 Mio. EUR. Die Kosten für die Begleitmaßnahme belaufen sich auf ca. 1,0 Mio EUR. Zur Finanzierung des Investitionsvorhabens steht ein klassisches Verbunddarlehen in Höhe von 9,0 Mio. EUR zur Verfügung, das sich aus 4,5 Mio. EUR Haushaltsmitteln und 4,5 Mio.

Efficient irrigation Zerrar. With a supply of renewable fresh water resources of approx. 650 m³/capita/year, Morocco is exposed to a chronic and constantly worsening shortage of fresh water and is therefore considered to be water-scarce. Nevertheless, in many regions of Morocco, the majority of the available fresh water resources (approx. 80-90%) are used for agricultural irrigation. In view of the resulting continuous lowering of the groundwater table, the main challenge in the field of agricultural irrigation lies in reducing the constantly high water consumption due to ongoing dynamic socio-economic developments. Other problems in agriculture include the climate-related scarcity of resources and the limited availability of water due to unfavorable seasonal rainfall patterns. Œ Œ ŒThe planned FC project therefore aims to increase efficiency in the Moroccan province of Essaouira on an area of approx. 1,200 hectares (ha) by expanding and modernizing the existing irrigation system through the introduction of new irrigation techniques (drip irrigation) with the aim of achieving better water use and higher agricultural productivity in irrigated agriculture. The planned investment measures cover the entire spectrum of hydraulic irrigation infrastructure from the connection to the Zerrar dam, the transport lines and the water filtration system to water distribution through main and secondary lines, including water distribution on the plot through drip irrigation, and are supported by a complementary measure. Œ  The aim of the FC module is to improve the mobilization, distribution and efficient use of water for its sustainable protection and conservation on the one hand and to increase the income base of farming families from irrigated agriculture on the other.

Regional MSME Investmentfund for SSA. Regional Investment Fund for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (REGMIFA) is an international initiative launched by KfW and BMZ which was adopted in the 2007 G8 Summit in Heiligendamm. Œ ŒREGMIFA aims to improve the inadequate supply of local currency financing in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Longer-term loans in local currency are used to create financing opportunities for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and SMEs in the region. This is intended to contribute to the systemic development of the local SME financing sector as an important element of economic development. Œ ŒConsequently, REGMIFA contributes to an improvement in the economic and social situation of the target group and sustainable poverty reduction and makes a direct contribution to the achievement of SDG 1 "End poverty" and SDG 8 "Sustainable economic growth and decent work for all".

Wind Programme Morocco Phase IV. The FC measure is part of the second phase of the Moroccan Integrated Wind Programme and comprises the construction of two wind farms at the Midelt and Jbel Lahdid sites with an installed capacity of approximately 450 MW. The FC module objective is the cost-efficient, ecologically, and socially compatible generation of electrical energy. This will reduce climate-damaging C02 emissions and Morocco's dependence on imported energy resources. It also contributes to meeting the long-term increase in energy demand. The development policy objective is to support Morocco in introducing a development model that minimises the negative impacts on the environment and climate and takes precautions against climate change. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable (ONEE). The implementation of the measure is planned as a public-private partnership (PPP).

Small and medium-sized irrigation perimeters III - grant. With a supply of renewable fresh water resources of approx. 650 m³/capita/year, Morocco is exposed to a chronic and constantly worsening shortage of fresh water and is therefore considered to be water-scarce. Nevertheless, in many regions of Morocco, the majority of the available fresh water resources (approx. 80-90%) are used for agricultural irrigation. In view of the resulting continuous lowering of the groundwater table, the main challenge in the field of agricultural irrigation lies in reducing the constantly high water consumption due to ongoing dynamic socio-economic developments. Other problems facing agriculture are the increasing scarcity of resources due to climate change and the limited availability of water due to unfavorable seasonal rainfall patterns. Œ ŒThis is the starting point for the project, which aims to improve the mobilization and distribution of water by increasing production areas and yields and using efficient irrigation methods. The rehabilitation measures planned as part of the project cover the entire spectrum of hydraulic infrastructure - from water catchment to water distribution through primary and secondary canals. This is also intended to contribute to improving living conditions (including increasing incomes) in the Souss-Massa project region. The target group of the project are the small farms in the project region, whose living conditions are characterized by low incomes and insufficient employment opportunities (approx. 35,000 people). By improving subsistence levels, the program has a direct impact on the poor rural population. To ensure the success of the project, the regional project executing agencies are to be supported by a complementary measure and the water user communities by project-related basic and advanced training measures.

The Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Fund (AATIF) - formerly ATEP - is a public-private partnership fund that implements its development goals on an economically sustainable basis. On the one hand, the fund relies on close cooperation with financial institutions that are willing to provide or develop the necessary know-how in the agricultural sector and offer corresponding financial services. On the other hand, AATIF cooperates directly with experienced African companies that have detailed knowledge about agricultural value chains and want to increase production and productivity, mostly with the involvement of small farmers. AATIF's financing products include loans and, to a more limited extent, guarantees. The AATIF Compliance Advisor (the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Environment Program) supports AATIF's partner institutions in complying with environmental and social standards and records their effects. In addition, the partner institutions are provided with technical advice via a TA facility. ŒAATIF was founded in August 2011 as part of the German development cooperation in response to the liquidity and food crisis resulting from the 2008/2009 financial crisis. The fund invests in the African agricultural sector to promote agricultural SMEs and SMEs along agricultural value chains. AATIF issues primarily loans in the range of USD 1 million - USD 30 million. The project contributes to the increase of the added value and productivity of agriculture, manufacturing and the agricultural export economy in Africa. This is to be achieved particularly by integrating African farmers and companies into international value chains. The fund's business activities also aim to promote efficient production methods in Africa which are both environmentally and socially sustainable. ŒThe AATIF helps the German government to achieve its objectives, particularly in the areas of rural development and food security. The project supports the implementation of the Pan-African agriculture program CAADP and is in line with the Federal Government's Africa strategy. As part of the 2018 Development Investment Fund Initiative (EIF), the AATIF supports SMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Compact-with-Africa (CwA) countries (focus on CwA-countries as an implementation module under the German G20 presidency). ŒThe AATIF improves the access to financial services and to markets for companies and smallholders in rural areas of Africa and thus contributes in particular to the achievement of SDG 2 (no hunger), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 10 (reducing inequalities). Further SDGs are addressed through the application of the AATIF environmental and social guidelines. ŒGermany is the largest donor of the AATIF. The Federal Government and KfW played an active and essential role in the planning and development of the fund. Other investors are the European Commission, the Austrian Development Bank, KfW, DWS, the Common Fund for Commodities and other private investors.

Facility "Investing for Employment". Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition" ŒThe SI "Decent Work for a Just Transition" aims to support selected African countries that show potential for reform in promoting sustainable employment in cooperation with the private sector. The SI currently supports Ethiopia, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Rwanda and Egypt and is part of the "Marshall Plan with Africa" and the "G20 Compact with Africa" initiatives. The SI Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition" focuses on removing barriers to investment based on the concrete needs of African and European/German companies in terms of job creation. To implement suitable investment measures within the framework of the SI in a demand-oriented, efficient and flexible manner, a cross-regional facility was established. This facility provides grants to applicants/providers to support them in the preparation and implementation of suitable investment measures. The aim of the project is to ensure that more people are formally employed and benefit from improved incomes and working conditions. It also aims to support enterprises in the context of the Corona pandemic in terms of job retention. The total cost of the facility is estimated at €400 million (pre-appraisal) and is based on available funds. The Special Initiative funds (grant quality) will be used to capitalise the Facility, which has been established as a GmbH (limited liability company) under German law.

Worldwide, 1.7 billion people in 149 countries suffer from one of the 20 diseases defined as "neglected tropical diseases" (NTDs). Of these, 40% of all diseases can be located on the African continent. The diseases often have severe and long-lasting courses and cause individual and macroeconomic economic damage by burdening the health care systems of the countries and reducing the earning capacity of those affected, thus perpetuating their poverty. Although reliable data are not yet available, it can be assumed that the weakening of the immune system associated with NTD infections increases the vulnerability of those affected to severe courses of COVID-19. In any case, it is undisputed that the overburdening of health care systems and the necessary mobility and contact restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted NTD control. Because of widespread poverty among those affected, comparatively little attention has been paid to researching and developing new therapies for NTDs. Central African scientists who are working on these issues and could assist their home countries in the effort are often not sufficiently connected to the international and African research community. Œ ŒThe project will provide EUR 18 million to support ministries of health in the Central African Economic and Monetary Union (CEMAC) countries to implement programs to treat and control NTDs.

Stärkung der ökologischen Konnektivität im Gebiet Tai-Grebo-Sapo. In der westafrikanischen Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion (UEMOA) ist der Bedarf an Investitionen in Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungsprojekte angesichts der zunehmenden Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die Region hoch. Die verfügbaren Finanzierungsmittel für Investitionen dieser Art reichen jedoch nicht aus, um den Bedarf zu decken. Zudem benötigen Entwicklungsländer bei Naturkatastrophen rasch zusätzliche finanzielle Unterstützung der internationalen Gemeinschaft, die jedoch häufig erst mit Verzögerung kommt und nicht ausreicht. Die betroffenen Länder sind dann gezwungen Budgets für Nothilfe- und Wiederaufbaumaßnahmen aus anderen Bereichen (wie z.B. soziale Infrastruktur) umzuschichten, oder aber Ausgabenkürzungen vorzunehmen. Œ ŒDas FZ-Vorhaben Förderung des Angebots von gegen Naturkatastrophen abgesicherter Darlehen durch die BOAD in Westafrika setzt genau hier an. Das Vorhaben hat die Finanzierung von Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungsinvestitionen in den-UEMOA-Mitgliedstaaten mittels gegen Naturkatastrophen abgesicherter Kredite (Shock Resilient Loans, SRL) der Westafrikanischen Entwicklungsbank (BOAD) zum Ziel. Mittler zur Zielgruppe sind die Regierungen der UEMOA-Mitgliedstaaten, die über die BOAD gegen Naturkatastrophen abgesicherte Kredite für Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassungsinvestitionen erhalten. Zielgruppe ist die (arme) Bevölkerung des jeweiligen UEMOA-Mitgliedstaats, die von Naturkatastrophen betroffen ist und dadurch von Klimaschutz- und Klimaanpassungsinvestitionen sowie im Naturkatastrophenfall von Nothilfe und Wiederaufbaumaßnahmen profitiert. Œ ŒIn Phase I werden Klimaanpassungsinvestitionen in den UEMOA-Mitgliedsländern durch die aus der FZ-Maßnahme geförderten BOAD-Darlehen finanziert. In Phase II soll dieser Verwendungszweck erweitert werden, um die Finanzierung von Investitionen in Gesundheitsinfrastruktur zu ermöglichen. In beiden Phasen sollen die Darlehen der BOAD zunächst mit einer Klimarisikoversicherung abgesichert werden.

LAFCO - Lending for African Farming Company. The project consists of the Lending for Farming Coompany - "LAFCo" to finance small and medium enterprises in the agricultural sector in Africa. LAFCo provides urgently needed working capital finance in the form of loans for "Crop Purchase Finance" and "Input Finance",combined with agronomic and financial advice to smallholder farmers (technical advice). The facility focuses on agri-food value chains whose actors predominantly supply local and regional markets. ŒThe objective of the measure is to improve the integration of smallholders into value chains through improved access to working capital financing for local SMEs, and thus to increase the productivity and income of smallholders. This improves food security, growth and employment in rural areas as a whole, and thus contributes to the main objectives of SEWOH (Initiative One world - no hunger). As a result, there is a positive effect for poverty-reducing economic development. ŒThe facility was originally conceived by AgDevCo, which is providing the seed capital together with the Financial Cooperation as an anchor investor. The initial volume of the facility is currently around USD 23,5 million. In the medium term, the facility's volume is to be expanded to USD 100 million in partnership with other investors. The Financial Cooperation measure within the framework of SEWOH includes KfW's participation, as trustee for the German government, in the amount of EUR 17,6 million (in USD). ŒIn addition, the Local Currency Support Trust (FX Trust) was established and provided with SEWOH funds in the amount of EUR 2.37 million. Those financial resources can be used to partially cover currency hedging costs incurred by LAFCo in financing SMEs in local value chains. ŒA Technical Assistance Facility will additionally support the expansion of LAFCo's business activities to other SEWOH countries and the measurement of impact. To date, funds of EUR 2 million have been provided for this purpose.

This improves food security, growth and employment in rural areas as a whole, and thus contributes to the main objectives of SEWOH (Initiative One world - no hunger). As a result, there is a positive effect for poverty-reducing economic development. ŒThe facility was originally conceived by AgDevCo, which is providing the seed capital together with the Financial Cooperation as an anchor investor. The initial volume of the facility is currently around USD 23,5 million. In the medium term, the facility's volume is to be expanded to USD 100 million in partnership with other investors. The Financial Cooperation measure within the framework of SEWOH includes KfW's participation, as trustee for the German government, in the amount of EUR 17,6 million (in USD). ŒIn addition, the Local Currency Support Trust (FX Trust) was established and provided with SEWOH funds in the amount of EUR 2.37 million. Those financial resources can be used to partially cover currency hedging costs incurred by LAFCo in financing SMEs in local value chains. ŒA Technical Assistance Facility will additionally support the expansion of LAFCo's business activities to other SEWOH countries and the measurement of impact. To date, funds of EUR 2 million have been provided for this purpose.

eco.business Fund Afrika (EBFA III). Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity, for example deforestation and forest degradation are major problems. The principal drivers of degradation of nature and cultivated landscapes include land-use changes, water pollution, and unsustainable forms of agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Without adequate conservation of natural resources, the sustainability of other successful approaches to combating climate change, poverty and hunger will be jeopardised. This is particularly serious in Africa: the population and its demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Therefore, the restructuring of the economic system towards more sustainability is crucial. The financial sector has an important supporting role to play here: sufficient capital must be made available and channelled in such a way that an ecological transformation of central sectors becomes possible. ŒIn order to achieve these objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible, German development cooperation should provide incentives for private actors to invest more in projects that promote a more sustainable economic system in Africa. The concept of the eco.business Fund aims precisely at implementing these activities. The fund started its business exclusively in Latin America. However, in order to be able to address the above-mentioned challenges in an appropriate way, the eco.business Fund is being expanded to sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of natural resources, the mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its impacts through economic action. The fund was established in 2014 by KfW, the non-governmental organisation Conservation International (CI) and Finance in Motion (FiM) as a public-private partnership instrument with four different risk classes in the form of a fund based in Luxemburg. Through direct investments and the granting of loans via partner financial institutions, the fund supports companies that replace conventional production processes with sustainable methods. There is a focus on the sectors of agriculture and rural processing, fishing and aquaculture, forestry and tourism.  Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources.

Aqua-Spark Fonds: Sustainable Aquaculture in Africa. Global food production will have to increase by 50% in the next 30 years to meet a growing global demand. Already, an estimated 260 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are undernourished and above half of the population is food insecure. It is also projected that the population of sub-Saharan Africa will double by 2050, further exacerbating the challenge of food security. ŒIn this context, foods produced through sustainable Aquaculture can make an essential contribution to food security. Fish in particular, as an important supplier of proteins and micronutrients, plays an important role in strengthening food security and adressing malnutrition in Africa through the provision of nutritious and comparatively climate-friendly food all the while protecting natural resources of the oceans and preserving marine ecosystems. ŒThe Aqua Spark Africa Fund (ASAF) aims to promote sustainable and resource-efficient growth of the African aquaculture sector and thus contribute to food security on the continent. The fund will provide equity financing to companies on the African continent along the entire aquaculture value chain with the aim of expanding their production and making it ecologically sustainable. In addition, a Technical Assistance Facility operating besides the fund will provide, among other things, advisory services to the companies supported by the ASAF.  The aim of the Aqua Spark Africa Fund is to help the African aquaculture sector grow in a climate-friendly and sustainable way by providing equity financing to companies, thereby meeting the growing food needs of the population, preventing overfishing and degradation of the oceans, protecting important natural resources and preserving biodiversity in marine ecosystems.

myAgro II - Food security for small farmers and agro-ecological transformation. The project is a grant to promote the non-governmental organisation (NGO) myAgro in expanding its activities. MyAgro's mission is to support farmers, especially micro-farmers and women. The support is offered by combining the provision of seeds and fertilisers in the form of a layaway savings-product with training courses to increase agricultural productivity and efficiency. myAgro had previously received funding by KfW in an initial phase and this grant is the continuation of the cooperation after a positive evaluation and success of the project. Œ ŒIn the second phase of the project, farmers will receive support through two project components: an emergency relief programme and the implementation of agro-ecological principles in agricultural practices. Œ ŒThe emergency relief programme aims to offer the layaway packages offered by myAgro at a subsidised price. Farmers in Mali have been affected by multiple crises and, as a result of increased prices, can often only farm smaller areas than before. The emergency relief programme is intended to enable them farm larger areas and thereby achieve higher incomes through increased yields. This is expected to have a lasting impact on farmers' income in the long term and to contribute to food security in Mali. Œ ŒThe second component of the project is aimed at promoting agro-ecological farming practices and soil protection. This objective will be achieved by planting 500,000 trees, reducing the use of chemical fertilisers and by the use of organic fertilisers, as well as by piloting intercropping as a farming practice.  The aim of the project is to increase food security for small farmers in Mali through an emergency relief program and to contribute to an agro-ecological transformation.

ARC Premium Subsidisation Sahel. The African Risk Capacity (ARC) was launched 2012 on initiative of African countries to help them improve their disaster and risk management and thus increase their resilience to extreme weather and natural disaster risks. African Risk Capacity is an institution of the African Union (AU). In this context, the BMZ, through KfW, supported the creation of ARC's insurance arm, ARC Limited, by providing a an equity equivalent subordinated loan. ŒSince 2014, ARC has been offering drought insurance to the participating countries through ARC Limited. Since 2020, an insurance against tropical cyclones is offered. Since then, ARC has increased its portfolio by offering an insurance against epidemics since and, from autumn 2023, an insurance against floods. In order to achieve a broader coverage of the population in African countries, the "Replica programme" was developed and introduced 2016. Here, humanitarian partners - until now WFP and Start Network - can replicate government insurances and thus expand coverage. ŒThis programme will focus on creating climate resilience to drought and flooding in the SAHEL region. This will promote food security, especially for rural and vulnerable populations in the event of climate-induced disasters. By providing subsidies for insurance premiums, Sahel countries and replica partners can expand existing ARC insurances and/or buy new insurances against flooding.

ŒThe objective of the measure is to improve the integration of smallholders into value chains through improved access to working capital financing for local SMEs, and thus to increase the productivity and income of smallholders. This improves food security, growth and employment in rural areas as a whole, and thus contributes to the main objectives of SEWOH (Initiative One world - no hunger). As a result, there is a positive effect for poverty-reducing economic development. ŒThe facility was originally conceived by AgDevCo, which is providing the seed capital together with the Financial Cooperation as an anchor investor. The initial volume of the facility is currently around USD 23,5 million. In the medium term, the facility's volume is to be expanded to USD 100 million in partnership with other investors. The Financial Cooperation measure within the framework of SEWOH includes KfW's participation, as trustee for the German government, in the amount of 17,6 million (in USD). ŒIn addition, the Local Currency Support Trust (FX Trust) was established and provided with SEWOH funds in the amount of EUR 2.37 million. Those financial resources can be used to partially cover currency hedging costs incurred by LAFCo in financing SMEs in local value chains. ŒA Technical Assistance Facility will additionally support the expansion of LAFCo's business activities to other SEWOH countries and the measurement of impact. To date, funds of EUR 2 million have been provided for this purpose. Œ

The aim of the project is to increase the sustainable and efficient supply of needs-based financial services for MSMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa. For this purpose, business models geared to lending to MSMEs or promoting MSMEs are promoted by granting equity and quasi-equity loans to financial institutions, holding companies and financial sector funds. The financing enables MSMEs to make investments that promote business growth. Growth thus indirectly leads to job retention and income generation, and the project contributes to poverty reduction in sub-Saharan Africa.

The transboundary Yamoussa National Park (Bouba Ndjida, Cameroon, Sena Oura, Chad) is of great importance for biodiversity conservation in the Soudano-Guinean zone of West and Central Africa and is one of the last refuges of important endangered species in the region. Rising population and the accompanying increase in land use for livestock and agriculture are increasing pressure on the park. In addition, there are newly discovered gold reserves, resource degradation in adjacent hunting zones in Cameroon, and an increase in organized, international ivory poaching, with effective park management not yet in place (core problem). The module objective is: The monitoring and protection of the transboundary national park Yamoussa and its periphery are improved. Œ ŒThe target group in the narrower sense is the local population living around the protected areas, most of whom live in poor conditions and use the natural resources for their livelihoods. There is worldwide interest in positive effects on the global goods "biodiversity" and "climate". In the FC module, the park administrations of the two protected areas are to be supported by an international NGO in monitoring and protection measures, thus contributing to improved park management. Furthermore, socio-economic infrastructure is to contribute to improving the livelihoods of the local population. ŒWith total costs of around EUR 17.4 million and a term of 4 years, the FC contribution of EUR 13 million mainly comprises the improvement of the basic infrastructure (buildings, road network, park boundary marking) and equipment (vehicles, energy supply, field equipment) of the protected areas as well as the implementation of the monitoring measures.

WSK Rechte, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit + zivilrechtliche Nutzung natürl.Ressourcen (Fortführung). Die Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du fleuve Gambie (OMVG) ist eine aus den vier Ländern Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau und Guinea bestehende Regionalorganisation, mit dem Ziel einer verbesserten sozio-ökonomischen Integration der Mitgliedsstaaten durch die Entwicklung und Nutzung der Ressourcen der Flussbecken der Flüsse Gambia, Kayanga/Géba sowie Koliba/Corubal. In diesem Rahmen kofinanziert die FZ ein regionales Energievorhaben, welches die Mitgliedsländer über ein Stromübertragungssystem miteinander verbinden soll. Insgesamt umfasst der Bau eine 1677 km lange 225 kV Hochspannungsleitung mit fünfzehn Umspannstationen und zwei Lastverteilern. Die deutsche FZ hat den Teilabschnitt des Stromübertragungssystems von Kaolack über Birkelane im Senegal bis nach Soma in Gambia finanziert. ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, die Stromversorgung in den Mitgliedsländern der OMVG durch Stromhandel und Stromaustausch zu verbessern und zu stabilisieren, die regionale Kooperation zu vertiefen und die Nutzung regenerativer Energien zu fördern. Über die Leitung sollte vornehmlich Strom aus zwei geplanten bzw. sich im Bau befindlichen Wasserkraftwerken in die vier OMVG-Mitgliedsländer übertragen werden. ŒDie Gesamtkosten des OMVG Leitungsvorhabens waren auf etwa 610 Mio. EUR geschätzt, hiervon finanzierte die deutsche FZ ca. 27 Mio. EUR in Form eines Darlehens. Die OMVG Länder selbst beteiligten sich mit 31 Mio. EUR.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) cause great human suffering in Central Africa. The effects of 20 of the World Health Organization defined NTD range from reduced performance to lifelong disabilities and even death. High economic costs are associated. Due to the widespread poverty among the affected people, relatively little attention is paid to research and development for new treatments. Central African scientists who could deal with these issues and support their home countries in their efforts to fight NTD are often not sufficiently linked to the international and African research community. Although treatment options exist, they are not widely used due to the lack of funding or knowledge about the emergence of these diseases. The project supports the health ministries of the countries of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) in a subsidiary way with EUR 10,1 million in the implementation of their programs for the treatment and control of NTD. At the same time, young and local researchers dealing with these subjects are promoted and connected to other researchers in Africa and worldwide.

Central African scientists who could deal with these issues and support their home countries in their efforts to fight NTD are often not sufficiently linked to the international and African research community. Although treatment options exist, they are not widely used due to the lack of funding or knowledge about the emergence of these diseases. The project supports the health ministries of the countries of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) in a subsidiary way with EUR 10,1 million in the implementation of their programs for the treatment and control of NTD. At the same time, young and local researchers dealing with these subjects are promoted and connected to other researchers in Africa and worldwide.

Project Preparation and and Development Facility (PPDF) II - VPT. The Project Preparation and Development Facility (PPDF) of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) supports the preparation of feasibility studies and other preparatory studies for regionally significant infrastructure projects in southern Africa. Œ ŒThe SADC region has a significant need for economic and social infrastructure in the energy, water, transportation, telecommunications and tourism sectors, among others. However, there is a lack of financial and technical resources to prepare regional, especially cross-border projects. The PPDF is intended to address this core problem by providing funds and expertise for the preparation of infrastructure projects, taking into account international environmental and social standards. Œ ŒIn three financial phases, a total of over 20 million euros has been and will be committed for project preparation studies and a pipeline of projects will be established and further developed. Public and private organizations can act as sponsors for project proposals. Œ ŒThe measure thus supports the SADC in the implementation of its Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan and in the development of priority regional infrastructure projects. To this end, the PPDF not only finances the preparation of projects listed in the RIDMP, but also projects of a regional nature that are not yet included in it. The project will further strengthen the SADC in the implementation of its regional integration and management function.

Accompanying measure to support the expansion of the African Risk Capacity. African countries are particularly affected by the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events due to climate change. At the same time, they usually do not have access to climate risk finance solutions that can help them cope with extreme weather and natural disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. It is against this background that the African Risk Capacity (ARC) was founded on the initiative of the African Union (AU) in 2014. Since then, ARC provides insurance against weather extremes such as droughts and tropical cyclones to African countries. Compared to other risk pools, ARC stands out because it closely links climate risk insurance with an early warning system and emergency response planning. ŒThe main objective of the programme is to reduce the vulnerability of African countries to the increased weather extremes resulting from climate change by improving access to and use of needs-based insurance solutions. The indirect target group of the project are African households particularly affected by extreme weather events, as they receive faster and more effective help in the event of disaster. ŒThe German funding includes a capital contribution into the insurance company ARC Ltd., grant funding for technical support in the context of the accompanying measures, premium support as well as support to the ARC Replica programme. ARC Replica enables humanitarian actors to top up ("replicate") an ARC insurance coverage purchased by a country. ŒApart from Germany, other international donors include France, Great Britain, Canada, Switzerland, and the USA. The Programme contributes to the BMZ core area "Responsibility for the planet - climate and energy" and to its action field "Climate Adaptation and Climate risk Management" within the Agenda 2030. It is embedded in the German G7/G20 initiative "InsuResilience Global Partnership".

Facility for the financing of agricultural value chains / LAFCO - Lending for African Farming. The project consists of the Lending for Farming Coompany - "LAFCo" to finance small and medium enterprises in the agricultural sector in Africa. LAFCo provides urgently needed working capital finance in the form of loans for "Crop Purchase Finance" and "Input Finance",combined with agronomic and financial advice to smallholder farmers (technical advice). The facility focuses on agri-food value chains whose actors predominantly supply local and regional markets. ŒThe objective of the measure is to improve the integration of smallholders into value chains through improved access to working capital financing for local SMEs, and thus to increase the productivity and income of smallholders. This improves food security, growth and employment in rural areas as a whole, and thus contributes to the main objectives of SEWOH (Initiative One world - no hunger). As a result, there is a positive effect for poverty-reducing economic development. ŒThe facility was originally conceived by AgDevCo, which is providing the seed capital together with the Financial Cooperation as an anchor investor. The initial volume of the facility is currently around USD 23,5 million. In the medium term, the facility's volume is to be expanded to USD 100 million in partnership with other investors. The Financial Cooperation measure within the framework of SEWOH includes KfW's participation, as trustee for the German government, in the amount of 17,6 million (in USD). ŒIn addition, the Local Currency Support Trust (FX Trust) was established and provided with SEWOH funds in the amount of EUR 2.37 million. Those financial resources can be used to partially cover currency hedging costs incurred by LAFCo in financing SMEs in local value chains. ŒA Technical Assistance Facility will additionally support the expansion of LAFCo's business activities to other SEWOH countries and the measurement of impact. To date, funds of EUR 2 million have been provided for this purpose.

The aim of the project is to increase the sustainable and efficient supply of needs-based financial services for MSMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa. For this purpose, business models geared to lending to MSMEs or promoting MSMEs are promoted by granting equity and quasi-equity loans to financial institutions, holding companies and financial sector funds. The financing enables MSMEs to make investments that promote business growth. Growth thus indirectly leads to job retention and income generation, and the project contributes to poverty reduction in sub-Saharan Africa.

Further development of the Microfinance Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa II (MIFSSA), ninth tranche. Kurzbeschreibung Vorschlag (englisch): ŒThe project is the 7th tranche of the further development of the Microfinance Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa (MIFSSA II). The aim of the project is to increase the sustainable and efficient supply of needs-based financial services for MSMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa. For this purpose, business models geared to lending to MSMEs or promoting MSMEs are promoted by granting equity and quasi-equity loans to financial institutions, holding companies and financial sector funds. The financing enables MSMEs to make investments that promote business growth. Growth thus indirectly leads to job retention and income generation, and the project contributes to poverty reduction in sub-Saharan Africa.

4E-Initiative SSA / Serengeti Energy. The aim of the project is to develop, finance and operate renewable energy (RE) projects and to mobilize private investments in these RE projects in order to meet the increasing energy demand in Africa and to avoid greenhouse gas emissions. ŒThe immediate target group are project companies and companies that are active in the field of regenerative energy generation. Œ ŒThe specially founded company responsAbility Renewable Energy Holding (rAREH) - now renamed "Serengeti Energy", a public-private partnership, will work on site using project development teams and use the funds on a revolving basis and a medium-term target volume of at least USD 100 million reach. rAREH should identify small and medium-sized renewable energy project approaches and promote their development at least up to electricity generation. Through the holistic approach of providing start-up financing and project development know-how along the entire project cycle, especially during the cost-intensive initial phase, rAREH assumes early project risks and thus helps the private sector to become an investor. The funds released through the sale of project shares are reinvested in the development and expansion of new renewable energy projects. Co-investors are Norfund and NDF. Œ ŒFor the purpose of efficient implementation, this initiative is to be designed as a follow-up phase to the already existing 4E initiative SSA - with the project developer and financier (rAREH) founded in this context. This is intended to accelerate the establishment of a renewable energy project pipeline as well as the development and construction of renewable energy projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Since it was founded, the 4E initiative SSA has continuously developed into a fully integrated (end-to-end) project developer and financier due to a lack of "investable" projects in SSA. The additional funds will enable the company to examine and develop further projects in addition to those that have already progressed. In this way, several projects are ready for the market in parallel and the company can build a balanced portfolio of projects in different development and operating phases. By promoting environmentally friendly energy generation, the project is intended to help close the energy gap in Africa. Reliable access to sustainable energy improves the living conditions of private households and increases the economic activity and competitiveness of existing companies. This makes a contribution to reducing emissions, conserving resources and thereby protecting the climate and the environment.

FZ-Programm zur Umsetzung der nationalen Klimaschutzziele im mexikanischen Transportsektor  Programa FC para la implementación de metas nacionales de protección climática en el sector transporte mexicano. Das Vorhaben sieht einen FZ-Entwicklungskredit i.H.v. bis zu 100 Mio. EUR an die mexikanische Entwicklungsbank NAFIN vor, die über Finanzintermediäre sowie ggf. direkt Kredite an KKMU für die Finanzierung von emissionsarmen Fahrzeugen auslegt. Das FZ-Darlehen wird durch einen Investitionszuschuss i.H.v. 10 Mio. EUR flankiert. Durch den Investitionszuschuss werden Verschrottungsprämien für KKMU zur Verfügung gestellt, die im Rahmen des Vorhabens einen Kredit zur Finanzierung eines emissionsarmen Fahrzeuges erhalten und ihr Altfahrzeug verschrotten lassen. ŒZiel des FZ-Moduls ist es, einen Beitrag zur Verminderung von Treibhausgasemissionen im Transportsektor in Mexiko zu leisten und die mexikanische Regierung somit bei der Erfüllung der eingegangenen Klimaverpflichtungen (NDC) zu unterstützen. Um die angestrebten Emissionseinsparungen tatsächlich zu erzielen, wird für jedes Neufahrzeug ein Altfahrzeug verschrottet. Da es für die Verschrottung von Fahrzeugen in Mexiko bis dato kaum regulatorische oder finanzielle Anreize gibt, werden den Kreditnehmern Verschrottungsprämien angeboten, die durch den Investitionszuschuss und Eigenbeiträge der teilnehmenden mexikanischen Bundesstaaten finanziert werden. Die unmittelbare Zielgruppe des FZ-Vorhabens sind KKMU im städtischen Transportsektor in den Bundesstaaten Mexiko-Stadt, Jalisco und Oaxaca. Mittelbare Zielgruppe ist die Bevölkerung in den Städten bzw. urbanen Gebieten, in denen das Vorhaben umgesetzt wird. Diese profitieren von verbesserten Transportbedingungen und durch die Minderungen von Stickoxid- Ruß-, und Feinstaubemissionen von einer verbesserten Luftqualität und den daraus resultierenden geringeren gesundheitlichen Risiken von Atemwegserkrankungen.  El proyecto proporciona un préstamo de desarrollo de hasta 100 millones de euros al banco de desarrollo mexicano NAFIN, que concede préstamos a las MIPYMES a través de intermediarios financieros y, en caso necesario, directamente para la financiación de vehículos de bajas emisiones. El préstamo va acompañado de una subvención a la inversión de 10 millones de euros. La subvención a la inversión ofrece primas por desguace a las mipymes que reciban un préstamo en el marco del proyecto para financiar un vehículo de bajas emisiones y desguazar su antiguo vehículo. ŒEl objetivo del módulo es contribuir a la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en el sector del transporte en México y así apoyar al gobierno mexicano en el cumplimiento de los compromisos climáticos que ha asumido (NDC). Para lograr realmente la reducción de emisiones prevista, se desecha un vehículo al final de su vida útil por cada vehículo nuevo. Dado que hasta la fecha apenas existen incentivos normativos o financieros para el desguace de vehículos en México, se ofrecen a los prestatarios primas de desguace que se financian con la subvención de la inversión y con aportaciones propias de las entidades federativas participantes. El grupo meta directo del proyecto son las MIPYMES del sector del transporte urbano en los estados de Ciudad de México, Jalisco y Oaxaca. El grupo meta indirecto es la población de las ciudades o zonas urbanas donde se ejecuta el proyecto. Se benefician de la mejora de las condiciones de transporte y, gracias a la reducción de las emisiones de óxido de nitrógeno, hollín y partículas, de la mejora de la calidad del aire y del consiguiente menor riesgo de enfermedades respiratorias.

Trust investment African Guarantee Fund (AGF). The African Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (AGF) is a fund that offers guarantees to partner financial institutions (PFIs) that provide loans to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Africa. A loan guarantee scheme is essentially a risk-sharing tool. It provides access to finance for MSMEs that are unable to access credit due to lack of collateral and information asymmetries by covering their share of the risk of default on the loan. In the event of default, the guarantor bears part of the bank's capital loss. Œ ŒThus, the main objective of the AGF is to promote capital and lending to MSMEs in Africa by covering default risks and to contribute to closing the financing gap for MSMEs in Africa. In doing so, the AGF contributes to sustainable economic development (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 8,9)), poverty eradication (SDG 1) and reduction of inequalities (SDG 10). In addition, the project also contributes to the promotion of renewable energy (SDG 7,13) through a Green Guarantee Facility. Œ ŒThe AGF Guarantee Fund is an active fund since 2011 and it is operating in 38 countries at the pan-African level. Since its foundation, the AGF cumulatively issued USD 1.35 billion of guarantees to 169 Partner Financial Institutions, reaching 23,700 SMEs, half of which are in rural areas. In the same period, around 149,000 additional jobs have been created. Œ ŒThe first KfW trust investment from 2018 of EUR 25 million, was increased by another EUR 30 million in 2019. In addition to providing guarantees, the AGF also supports PFIs with a Technical Assistance Facility to help them improve their MSME financing capabilities.

The SI currently supports Ethiopia, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Rwanda and Egypt and is part of the "Marshall Plan with Africa" and the "G20 Compact with Africa" initiatives. The SI Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition" focuses on removing barriers to investment based on the concrete needs of African and European/German companies in terms of job creation. To implement suitable investment measures within the framework of the SI in a demand-oriented, efficient and flexible manner, a cross-regional facility was established. This facility provides grants to applicants/providers to support them in the preparation and implementation of suitable investment measures. The aim of the project is to ensure that more people are formally employed and benefit from improved incomes and working conditions. It also aims to support enterprises in the context of the Corona pandemic in terms of job retention. The total cost of the facility is estimated at €400 million (pre-appraisal) and is based on available funds. The Special Initiative funds (grant quality) will be used to capitalise the Facility, which has been established as a GmbH (limited liability company) under German law. The capital is used in the form of a trust holding by KfW. Œ

IGAD Regional Fund for Migrants, Refugees and Host Communities at the Horn of Africa Phase III. The proposed action will establish a Regional Migration Fund (RMF) within IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development). The overall objective of the project is to mitigate the negative effects of displacement and migration in the region and to contribute to improving the living conditions and economic opportunities of migrants, refugees and host communities in the region, as well as to strengthen social cohesion. In order to achieve this objective, measures are foreseen in two funding windows: Within the 1st The financial window will support the economic development of transit areas along migratory routes, in particular through the establishment of catalytic economic infrastructure with cross-border impact. Within the 2nd The financing window provides for the socio-economic connection of long-standing refugee camps to host communities. The project also aims to strengthen IGAD's mandate in the context of migration and displacement, thus contributing to regional integration. The establishment of a regional migration fund makes it possible to use the resources of the FZ flexibly and in accordance with needs and to act across borders, which is difficult when a bilateral measure is taken. The RMF serves as a basis for an IGAD Migration Fund to be established under the Migration Action Plan (MAP) of 2014, with the aim of attracting more donors. The RMF therefore has the potential to create a mechanism that can be connected to other donors and thus contributes to donor harmonisation.  Improving living conditions and economic prospects for refugees and host communities at the Horn of Africa.

Training facilities and programmes for wildlife rangers and managers in the SADC Region II). Since 2013 SADC member states have developed and promoted up to 18 mainly terrestrial transfrontier conservation areas, with 6 of them legally established and recognized through a signed MoU or treaty. Consequently, TFCAs play an increasingly significant role in the management of critical ecosystems and flagship species across international borders, in the implementation of the concept of biodiversity conservation through sustainable use and in the promotion of tourism. Due to lacking training capacity in terms of offer and supply, funding and programs, the SADC region, however, is lacking wildlife managers and rangers (WMR) who are well trained in terms of skills, knowledge and capaities to manage TFCAs adequately. ŒFor a sustainable support and funding of WMR training in the SADC region 10.0 million EUR were committed to SADC back in 2011. As agreed during the intergovernmental negoitiations in July 2013 the program was initially focussed on the training of WMR in Great Limpopo and KAZA TFCAs. The appraisal report for a program of up to 25 million EUR was submitted to BMZ in November 2013 with a first phase of 10.0 million EUR (BMZ Nr. 2011 66 685). In 2019 another 5 million EUR were committed to SADC for a phase II in order to extend and expand the program to the training of further WMR in KAZA, Great Limpopo and Malawi Zambia TFCAs. ŒThe program aims at increasing the number of well trained WMR in the SADC region who are adequately trained to manage TFCAs effectively. The funding focusses on the improvement of training supply through improved infrastructure, equipment and other means as well as on the improvement of training demand through financial support for covering training costs.

Förderung von Menschenrechten und demokratischer Gerechtigkeit in Mexiko. Im Rahmen des EZ-Programms "Förderung eines regionalen Stromverbundes in Westafrika" wird durch die Finanzierung einer netzgebundenen 27 MW-Photovoltaikanlage (Phase I: 14 MW  Phase II 13 MW) und eines Kurzzeitstromspeichers (Speichervolumen 7 MWh) in der Nähe der Stadt Bobo-Dioulasso zu einer klimafreundlichen, verlässlichen und kostengünstigen Stromversorgung in Burkina Faso und in den Nachbarländern des West African Power Pools (WAPP) beigetragen. Burkina Faso verfügt über ein hohes natürliches Potenzial für Solarenergie (Einstrahlungswerte: 5,5 kWh/m2/Tag  im Vergleich: Deutschland 2-4) und die Regierung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt bis 2030 30% seines Stroms aus regenerativen Energien herzustellen. Durch die Installation von kostengünstiger Solarenergie und des Batteriespeichers wird ein Beitrag zur Senkung der Stromkosten geleistet und die Stabilität des regionalen Stromnetzes gestärkt. Dadurch werden die Produktionsbedingungen und somit die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der lokalen Wirtschaft in Bobo-Dioulasso, der zweitgrößten Stadt des Landes und gleichzeitig wichtiges Wirtschaftszentrum, verbessert. Außerdem kann durch die zusätzliche Erzeugungskapazität der Photovoltaik-Anlage teurer und umweltschädlicher Dieselstrom aus dem sich in unmittelbarer Nähe befindenden Dieselkraftwerk teilweise substituiert werden, sodass das Kraftwerk vermehrt in den Abendstunden produziert und als Reservekapazität fungiert, was gleichzeitig auch zu einer verlässlicheren Energieversorgung führt. Damit leistet das Vorhaben auch einen Beitrag zum globalen Klimaschutz (KLM:2) und zur Agenda 2030 (SDG: 2030). ŒNeben den lokalen Wirkungen, kann das Vorhaben, aufgrund der Installation am Knotenpunkt zweier regionaler Übertragungsleitungen, zu einer Stabilisierung des regionalen WAPP-Verbundnetzes beitragen. Mittel- und langfristig ist auch ein Export von überschüssigem Tagstrom der PV-Anlage in die Nachbarländer Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana und Mali möglich. Das Projekt ist auch ein der Prioritätsprojekt des WAPP in Burkina Faso und birgt Synergien mit anderen geplanten WAPP-Projekten (z.B. Ghana-Burkina-Mali Leitung).  Dans le cadre du programme de coopération au développement "Promotion d'une interconnexion électrique régionale en Afrique de l'Ouest", le financement d'une centrale photovoltaïque de 27 MW (Phase I: 14 MW  Phase II 13 MW) raccordée au réseau et d'un système de stockage d'électricité à court terme (volume de stockage de 7 MWh) à proximité de la ville de Bobo-Dioulasso contribuera à un approvisionnement en électricité respectueux du climat, fiable et économique au Burkina Faso et dans les pays voisins du West African Power Pool (WAPP). Le Burkina Faso dispose d'un potentiel naturel élevé pour l'énergie solaire (valeurs d'ensoleillement : 5,5 kWh/m2/jour   en comparaison : Allemagne 2-4) et le gouvernement s'est fixé pour objectif de produire 30% de son électricité à partir d'énergies renouvelables d'ici 2030. L'installation d'énergie solaire bon marché et du système de stockage par batterie contribuera à réduire les coûts de l'électricité et à renforcer la stabilité du réseau électrique régional. Les conditions de production et donc la compétitivité de l'économie locale de Bobo-Dioulasso, deuxième ville du pays et également important centre économique, s'en trouveront améliorées. En outre, la capacité de production supplémentaire de l'installation photovoltaïque permet de remplacer en partie l'électricité diesel coûteuse et nocive pour l'environnement produite par la centrale électrique diesel située à proximité immédiate, de sorte que la centrale produit davantage en soirée et fonctionne comme capacité de réserve, ce qui permet en même temps un approvisionnement énergétique plus fiable. Le projet contribue ainsi également à la protection du climat mondial et à l'Agenda 2030. ŒOutre les effets locaux, le projet peut contribuer à stabiliser le réseau régional d'interconnexion WAPP en raison de son installation au point de jonction de deux lignes de transport régionales. À moyen et long terme, il est également possible d'exporter l'excédent d'électricité de l'installation photovoltaïque vers les pays voisins que sont la Côte d'Ivoire, le Ghana et le Mali. Le projet est également l'un des projets prioritaires du WAPP au Burkina Faso et présente des synergies avec d'autres mesures de coopération financière prévues dans le cadre du WAPP.

Denn eine zentrale Voraussetzung zur Verbesserung der Regierungsführung in Afrika ist deren digitale Transformation: Durch die Digitalisierung der Verwaltung und Automatisierung ihrer Prozesse können die Kosten reduziert, Effizienz und Transparenz erhöht werden. Eine Œdigitale Verwaltung kann damit entscheidend dazu beitragen, die Korruption zu senken und die Rechenschaftspflicht der Regierung gegenüber ihren Bürger/innen zu fördern. Sie kann Œdabei unterstützen, dass dem Staat weniger Eigeneinnahmen entgehen, z.B. indem der Prozess der Steuerhebung digitalisiert wird. Eine verbesserte Datenlage erleichtert darüber Œhinaus die Entwicklungs- und Budgetplanung und macht Finanzströme besser nachverfolgbar. Œ ŒDas Vorhaben leistet einen Beitrag zur Umsetzung der digitalen Transformation der öffentlichen Verwaltung der UEMOA-Region und umfasst zwei zentrale Komponenten: Die erste Komponente beinhaltet die Bereitstellung von Finanzmitteln über die westafrikanische Entwicklungsbank BOAD für Digitalisierungsprojekte in den Verwaltungen der acht UEMOA-Mitgliedsländer mit Fokus auf (i) Verbesserung der Regierungsnetzwerke und IT-Ausstattung  (ii) Entwicklung und Bereitstellung von digitalen Dienstleistungen (e-services) und (iii) Erhöhung der digitalen Sicherheit (Daten-, Netzwerksicherheit etc.). Die zweite Komponente unterstützt den Aufbau der BOAD zu einem wichtigen Akteur der digitalen Transformation in der UEMOA-Region Œ ŒStaatliche Institutionen verschiedener Ebenen können Projektvorschläge einreichen (Ministerien, Regionen oder Kommunen). Die Projekte werden u.a. anhand von Effizienz-, Effektivitäts- und entwicklungspolitischen Kriterien ausgewählt.  Les administrations publiques d'Afrique de l'Ouest ont un grand besoin de modernisation pour atteindre les ODD. En effet, une condition centrale pour améliorer la gouvernance en Afrique est sa transformation numérique : l'automatisation des processus administratifs permet de réduire les coûts des administrations publiques et d'accroître l'efficacité et la transparence. L'administration numérique peut donc contribuer de manière décisive à réduire la corruption et à promouvoir la responsabilité du gouvernement vis-à-vis de ses citoyens. Elle peut contribuer à réduire les pertes de recettes propres de l'État, par exemple en numérisant le processus de collecte des impôts. L'amélioration des données facilite en outre la planification du développement et du budget et permet de mieux suivre les flux financiers. Œ ŒLe projet contribue à la mise en oeuvre de la transformation numérique de l'administration publique dans l'UEMOA et comprend deux composantes centrales : La première composante consiste à fournir un financement via la Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement (BOAD) pour des projets de numérisation dans les administrations des huit pays membres de l'UEMOA, en mettant l'accent sur (i) l'amélioration des réseaux gouvernementaux et des équipements informatiques   (ii) le développement et la fourniture de services numériques (e-services) et (iii) le renforcement de la sécurité numérique (sécurité des données, des réseaux, etc.). La deuxième composante soutient le renforcement de capacités au sein de la BOAD afin d'en faire un acteur majeur de la transformation numérique dans la région UEMOA.

In view of the ongoing and massive threats to human rights defenders, the project component on the protection of human rights defenders is also of great importance.

African Local Currency Bund Fund (ALCB Fund) VII (AM). The mission of the ALCB Fund is to promote corporate local currency bond markets as a viable source of funding in Africa. The primary activity of the Fund is to make investments in local currency bonds issued by non-sovereign entities in African countries. In this respect, the Fund acts as an anchor investor and aims at mobilizing local investors to invest alongside the Fund. ŒThe Fund's ultimate beneficiaries are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private lower income households, who will benefit from the issuer's improved or expanded capability to provide financial services for, or direct investments in, housing, education, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy and energy efficiency. ŒThe key developmental challenge for African bond markets is to increase deal-flow and capital market experience of issuers, investors and intermediaries. The ALCB Fund offers several interventions. To help bring new deals to market, the ALCB Fund acts as an anchor investor in first-time or innovative bond issuances by local entities. The Fund also provides technical assistance to support bond issuances, which may include reviewing bond documentation to improve documentation standards  supporting public listings to support market transparency  and encouraging credit rating to enhance the credit appraisal standards of the market. ŒThe supported bond issuers are typically financial institutions, corporates in the real economy or "special purpose vehicles" for structured finance transactions.

Defense of the economic, social and cultural rights of rural and indigenous communities. Defense of the economic, social and cultural rights of rural and indigenous communities  Large-scale projects in the country often violate the law, and the ignorance of those affected is often exploited. The project addresses this issue by informing the communities about their rights and providing them with legal support in claiming them. By strengthening the women and traditional organizational structures of the communities, they succeed in effectively standing up for collective territorial rights. In this way, the organization counteracts attempts to divide the communities and the targeted disintegration of social cohesion.

eco.Business Fund - Africa Window (EBFA). Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity, for example deforestation and forest degradation are major problems. The principal drivers of degradation of nature and cultivated landscapes include land-use changes, water pollution, and unsustainable forms of agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Without adequate conservation of natural resources, the sustainability of other successful approaches to combating climate change, poverty and hunger will be jeopardised. This is particularly serious in Africa: the population and its demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Therefore, the restructuring of the economic system towards more sustainability is crucial. The financial sector has an important supporting role to play here: sufficient capital must be made available and channelled in such a way that an ecological transformation of central sectors becomes possible. ŒIn order to achieve these objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible, German development cooperation should provide incentives for private actors to invest more in projects that promote a more sustainable economic system in Africa. The concept of the eco.business Fund aims precisely at implementing these activities. The fund started its business exclusively in Latin America. However, in order to be able to address the above-mentioned challenges in an appropriate way, the eco.business Fund is being expanded to sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of natural resources, the mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its impacts through economic action. The fund was established in 2014 by KfW, the non-governmental organisation Conservation International (CI) and Finance in Motion (FiM) as a public-private partnership instrument with four different risk classes in the form of a fund based in Luxemburg. Through direct investments and the granting of loans via partner financial institutions, the fund supports companies that replace conventional production processes with sustainable methods. There is a focus on the sectors of agriculture and rural processing, fishing and aquaculture, forestry and tourism. Œ  Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources.

Regional WASH Programme for Refugees, IDPs and Host Communities in East Africa ("R-WASH"). Violence and armed conflicts as well as severe droughts and famines mean that many people in Eastern Africa are displaced in their own country or flee to neighbouring countries. With 13 million people displaced, East Africa is one of the regions most affected by flight worldwide. Since the states have no capacity to provide for all people, many of them are cared for in large camps or settlement areas by the UN refugee agency UNHCR. The basic supply, such as drinking water.B, is not sufficient both in the camps and in the host communities. The increased pressure on limited resources can therefore also lead to distribution conflicts. ŒThe aim of the regional programme is therefore to contribute to improved, more sustainable, inclusive and integrated water and sanitation services for refugees, internally displaced persons and host communities in East Africa. With a financing volume of EUR 26 million, the construction and expansion of water supply systems and sanitation facilities at four locations in Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan and Somalia will be supported. Extensive accompanying measures support the local water suppliers in ensuring that operation and maintenance are as cost-covering and sustainable as possible, thus ensuring the supply of both refugees and the host communities. The takeover of state operators also relieves the budgets of humanitarian organizations such as UNHCR. In addition, short-term measures to contain Covid-19 are to be implemented. Local communities should be closely involved in all measures. Œ ŒThe beneficiary and promoter of the project is the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which is implementing the measures in close cooperation with UNHCR.

Fazilität "Investitionen für Beschäftigung" GmbH III. Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition" ŒThe SI "Decent Work for a Just Transition" aims to support selected African countries that show potential for reform in promoting sustainable employment in cooperation with the private sector. The SI currently supports Ethiopia, Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Rwanda and Egypt and is part of the "Marshall Plan with Africa" and the "G20 Compact with Africa" initiatives. The SI Special Initiative "Decent Work for a Just Transition" focuses on removing barriers to investment based on the concrete needs of African and European/German companies in terms of job creation. To implement suitable investment measures within the framework of the SI in a demand-oriented, efficient and flexible manner, a cross-regional facility was established.

Alliance for product quality in Africa. African partner countries can only increase their local value creation to a limited extent due to the poor quality of products. Participation in global value chains is thus made more difficult, and trade with companies and buyers in Germany and Europe is prevented. The emergence of a supplier industry is hindered.
Through its measures, the project increases product quality in selected economic sectors and business locations in the partner countries. To this end, PTB supports the quality infrastructure institutions in the partner countries so that they can establish or expand their services and meet the demand for quality assurance services from the private sector. A quality-assured increase in product quality enables companies to offer their products on the international goods market. The economic performance of the partner countries thus increases. Increased demand for locally produced quality infrastructure products and services leads to increased employment. So far, the main measures to achieve the objectives have been the implementation of training measures for laboratory staff of a textile testing laboratory in Ethiopia and training in the use of plant protection products and pesticides for staff of the Ghanaian environmental and plant protection authorities. There is no political partner. Instead, the project works with the various quality infrastructure service providers in the partner countries. The target group includes employees of quality assurance service providers as well as local companies. The Alliance for Product Quality in Africa consists of three modules, which are implemented by PTB and GIZ. The implementation takes place in the partner countries of the Special Initiative for Jobs (Egypt, Ethiopia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Tunisia).  Product quality is enhanced in selected economic sectors and settings in Africa.

Programm Ländliche Wasserversorgung  AEP en Milieu Rural. Ziel des Programms ist die Trinkwasserversorgung von ca. 450 kleinen Dörfern in den Provinzen Tanger, Tétouan, Chefchaouen und benachbarten Gebieten im Nordwesten Marokkos, die bislang noch nicht an die zentrale Wasserversorgung angeschlossen sind (FZ-finanzierte Investitionen an ca. 150 der 450 Dörfer, Consultingleistungen an allen Standorten). Das Projekt ordnet sich in das nationale Entwicklungsprogramm der marokkanischen Regierung PRDTS ("Programme de réduction des disparités territoriales et sociales") ein. Obwohl die Programmgebiete in einer der niederschlagsreichsten Regionen Marokkos liegen, gibt es bislang keine ganzjährig ausreichend verfügbare Trinkwasserversorgung, u.a. aufgrund der naturräumlichen Situation, die die Nutzung von ohnehin knappen Grundwasserressourcen erschwert. Daher sollen die Programmgebiete über Fernwasserleitungen versorgt werden. Das Programm beinhaltet neben dem Bau dieser Fernwasserleitungen auch den Bau der Verteilungsleitungen in die einzelnen Dörfer, die der Bevölkerung einen Anschluss an die Versorgung über Hausanschlüsse oder Zapfstellen erlaubt. Durch die Bereitstellung einwandfreien Trinkwassers werden die Lebensbedingungen in ländlichen Regionen verbessert und ein Beitrag zu Gesundheit und Geschlechtergerechtigkeit geleistet. Um die nachhaltige Wirksamkeit dieses kleinteiligen und komplexen Programms zu gewährleisten und den Nutzen der Zielgruppe aus der Investition zu maximieren, wird das Vorhaben durch eine Begleitmaßnahme unterstützt, die insbesondere der Einbindung und Begleitung der Zielgruppe dient.  L'objectif du programme est l'approvisionnement en eau potable d'environ 450 petits villages dans les provinces de Tanger, Tétouan, Chefchaouen et des régions avoisinantes dans le nord-ouest du Maroc (financement KfW pour investissement dans environ 150 des 450 douars, financement KfW pour l'AT dans tous les douars). Le projet contribute à la réalisation du Programme de Réduction des Disparités Territoriales et Sociales (PRDTS) du gouvernement marocain. ŒBien que la zone d'intervention du programme soit située dans l'une des régions les plus pluvieuses du Maroc, elle ne profite actuellement pas d'un approvisionnement en eau potable continu durant toute l'année.

Complexe Solaire Noor Midelt (BM). Component 1 "PMIS": Linked to the NOOR Midelt solar project and in response to MASEN's current challenges in implementing its mandate, which has been expanded by law from solar power to include wind and hydropower, MASEN is seeking support through a reorganisation study to analyse and adapt its organisational procedures and structures. ŒIn order for MASEN to meet these challenges and continue to operate efficiently and successfully, the entire organisation needs to be reorganised. New internal processes need to be defined and formalised, and needed skills need to be built. Only if MASEN succeeds in efficiently aligning its processes and structures to the new tasks and the new situation, and in building up the corresponding capabilities, can a successful implementation of the projects continue to be guaranteed. Accordingly, successful restructuring is an essential prerequisite for achieving the FC objectives (not only in the context of the FC measure "Noor Midelt Solar Complex", but also for other projects). Œ Œ ŒComponent 2 "Employability improvement": ..  Component 1 "PMIS": The objective of the complementary measure is to efficiently align MASEN's processes and structures with its mandate, in particular with the new tasks that MASEN will face as part of the mandate expansion, and thus to sustainably strengthen the executing agency to ensure the success of the FC-financed investment projects.

Intégration des énergies renouvelables dans le réseau ONEE (Mesure d&apos accompagnement Programme Éolien Intégré). As part of the accompanying measure, ONEE is to be supported in aligning its processes and structures with its foreseeable future mandate, particularly with regard to the shift in core tasks from electricity production to grid stabilisation. Furthermore, ONEE is to be supported in further improving its performance with regard to the consideration of environmental and social aspects. In this way, ONEE is to be strengthened as an executing agency in the long term. Thus, the BM serves the implementation capacity of the current and future FC portfolio.  Definition and design of ONEE's role as a grid operator in an environment characterised by fluctuating energies and building up correspondoing, additionally required capabilities in the organisation as well as an efficient alignment of processes and structures to the new tasks. In addition, ONEE (here: water and energy business areas) should be enabled to better deal with the challenges in the U+S sector.

Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Fund (AATIF). The Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Fund (AATIF) - formerly ATEP - is a public-private partnership fund that implements its development goals on an economically sustainable basis. On the one hand, the fund relies on close cooperation with financial institutions that are willing to provide or develop the necessary know-how in the agricultural sector and offer corresponding financial services. On the other hand, AATIF cooperates directly with experienced African companies that have detailed knowledge about agricultural value chains and want to increase production and productivity, mostly with the involvement of small farmers. AATIF's financing products include loans and, to a more limited extent, guarantees. The AATIF Compliance Advisor (the International Labor Organization and the United Nations Environment Program) supports AATIF's partner institutions in complying with environmental and social standards and records their effects. In addition, the partner institutions are provided with technical advice via a TA facility. ŒAATIF was founded in August 2011 as part of the German development cooperation in response to the liquidity and food crisis resulting from the 2008/2009 financial crisis. The fund invests in the African agricultural sector to promote agricultural SMEs and SMEs along agricultural value chains. AATIF issues primarily loans in the range of USD 1 million - USD 30 million. The project contributes to the increase of the added value and productivity of agriculture, manufacturing and the agricultural export economy in Africa. This is to be achieved particularly by integrating African farmers and companies into international value chains. The fund's business activities also aim to promote efficient production methods in Africa which are both environmentally and socially sustainable. ŒThe AATIF helps the German government to achieve its objectives, particularly in the areas of rural development and food security. The project supports the implementation of the Pan-African agriculture program CAADP and is in line with the Federal Government's Africa strategy. As part of the 2018 Development Investment Fund Initiative (EIF), the AATIF supports SMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Compact-with-Africa (CwA) countries (focus on CwA-countries as an implementation module under the German G20 presidency). ŒThe AATIF improves the access to financial services and to markets for companies and smallholders in rural areas of Africa and thus contributes in particular to the achievement of SDG 2 (no hunger), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 10 (reducing inequalities). Further SDGs are addressed through the application of the AATIF environmental and social guidelines. ŒGermany is the largest donor of the AATIF. The Federal Government and KfW played an active and essential role in the planning and development of the fund. Other investors are the European Commission, the Austrian Development Bank, KfW, DWS, the Common Fund for Commodities and other private investors.

Programm Ländliche Wasserversorgung - BM  Alimentation en eau potable dans les regions rurales (mesure d&apos accompagnement). Ziel des Programms ist die Trinkwasserversorgung von ca. 450 kleinen Dörfern in den Provinzen Tanger, Tétouan, Chefchaouen und benachbarten Gebieten im Nordwesten Marokkos, die bislang noch nicht an die zentrale Wasserversorgung angeschlossen sind (FZ-finanzierte Investitionen an ca. 150 der 450 Dörfer, Consultingleistungen an allen Standorten). Das Projekt ordnet sich in das nationale Entwicklungsprogramm der marokkanischen Regierung PRDTS ("Programme de réduction des disparités territoriales et sociales") ein. Obwohl die Programmgebiete in einer der niederschlagsreichsten Regionen Marokkos liegen, gibt es bislang keine ganzjährig ausreichend verfügbare Trinkwasserversorgung, u.a. aufgrund der naturräumlichen Situation, die die Nutzung von ohnehin knappen Grundwasserressourcen erschwert. Daher sollen die Programmgebiete über Fernwasserleitungen versorgt werden. Das Programm beinhaltet neben dem Bau dieser Fernwasserleitungen auch den Bau der Verteilungsleitungen in die einzelnen Dörfer, die der Bevölkerung einen Anschluss an die Versorgung über Hausanschlüsse oder Zapfstellen erlaubt. Durch die Bereitstellung einwandfreien Trinkwassers werden die Lebensbedingungen in ländlichen Regionen verbessert und ein Beitrag zu Gesundheit und Geschlechtergerechtigkeit geleistet. Um die nachhaltige Wirksamkeit dieses kleinteiligen und komplexen Programms zu gewährleisten und den Nutzen der Zielgruppe aus der Investition zu maximieren, wird das Vorhaben durch eine Begleitmaßnahme unterstützt, die insbesondere der Einbindung und Begleitung der Zielgruppe dient.

In 2000, the transboundary protected area complex TNS (Trinational de la Sangha) was created by the presidents of the countries of the Central African Republic (CAR), Cameroon and the Republic of Congo. The protected area consists of three parks - Dzanga-Sangha (APDS) in CAR, Nouabale Ndoki (PNNN) in the Republic of Congo and Lobeke (PNL) in Cameroon - each with its own national park management with some management autonomy. A coordination mechanism has been established for transboundary issues. In addition, an international foundation (FTNS) was established to ensure sustainable, project-independent financing of the protected area complex from the interest income of a trust fund. ŒWithin the framework of the DC programme: "Sustainable Forest Management in the Congo Basin", the FC module via the environmental foundation is intended to improve the conditions for efficient management of the PNL protected area and the transboundary measures and complements the FC measure to support the other TNS protected areas and the TNS Foundation (BMZ No. 2010 67 206) as well as the capital contribution in favour of the PML (BMZ No. 2004 65 302). The objective is: "The efficient management of the Lobeke Protected Area and the transboundary measures is secured in the long term". ŒThe direct target group is the largely poor population in the peripheral zone of the national park, which comprises around 23,000 people.

Strengthening quality infrastructure for photovoltaics. Required proof of quality for photovoltaic (PV) systems is currently not yet sufficiently provided and transparency about the quality of products and services has not been established. The reason for this is that not all the necessary competences and capacities for quality assurance of PV systems are yet available or are not sufficiently used. The aim of the project is to strengthen the technical and institutional capacities of the quality infrastructure and to raise awareness among decision-makers about quality assurance for photovoltaics. Essential measures to achieve the objective are strengthening the capacities and competences of quality infrastructure institutions, identifying the needs of local industry and private and public users of PV systems for relevant quality infrastructure services, and agreeing on necessary elements to improve the framework conditions for quality assurance in the photovoltaic sector. The partner of the project is the Ministry for Energy Transition and Sustainable Development. The direct target groups are the users of quality infrastructure services in the photovoltaic sector as well as political decision-makers who shape the framework for the sector. The project is being implemented in Morocco.  Quality infrastructure services are available to the photovoltaic sector according to national needs.

The Moroccan economy is approaching its limits in terms of inclusive socio-economic development across all regions of Morocco. Stronger activation and dynamization of the private sector can promote income and employment prospects for all segments of the Moroccan population. However, due to underlying framework conditions and a lack of access to financial services, the private sector is unable to develop its full potential. ŒThe project addresses this issue within the context t of the reform partnership between the German and Moroccan governments. It supports reforms in the areas of financial inclusion, capital market development and financial system stability with a loan totaling up to EUR 450 million (reform financing) to the Moroccan state and an accompanying measure of EUR 15 million (transformation support). The reforms have been structured in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Economy and Finance and other stakeholders in the sector (e.g., the central bank) in a reform matrix, which is set to run for three phases (2020-2023).

Supporting financial system reforms in Morocco III. The Moroccan economy is approaching its limits in terms of inclusive socio-economic development across all regions of Morocco. Stronger activation and dynamization of the private sector can promote income and employment prospects for all segments of the Moroccan population. However, due to underlying framework conditions and a lack of access to financial services, the private sector is unable to develop its full potential. ŒThe project addresses this issue within the context t of the reform partnership between the German and Moroccan governments. It supports reforms in the areas of financial inclusion, capital market development and financial system stability with a loan totaling up to EUR 450 million (reform financing) to the Moroccan state and an accompanying measure of EUR 15 million (transformation support). The reforms have been structured in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Economy and Finance and other stakeholders in the sector (e.g., the central bank) in a reform matrix, which is set to run for three phases (2020-2023). The loan is disbursed based on results: A tranche of reform financing will only be disbursed to the Moroccan state budget if the milestones defined in advance for the respective phase have been implemented. The matrix comprises a total of 17 reform measures, ten of which have been defined as relevant for disbursement. ŒThe aim of the project is to support the implementation or the Moroccan reform agenda. This pursues a socially inclusive development model through improved framework conditions for investments and easier access to financial services for individuals (especially vulnerable groups of the population) as well as domestic and foreign private companies. In addition, the reform measures will benefit the entire Moroccan population by improving economic conditions and achieving sustainable economic development.

Unterstützung der Finanzsystemreformen I  Appui aux réformes du système financier I. Das marokkanische Entwicklungsmodell gerät hinsichtlich einer Sicherstellung von Wirtschaftswachstum, Fortschritt und Entwicklung für alle Regionen Marokkos zunehmend an seine Grenzen. Eine verstärkte Aktivierung und Dynamisierung des Privatsektors kann die Schaffung verbesserter Einkommens- und Beschäftigungsperspektiven für alle Bevölkerungsgruppen Marokkos befördern. Unzureichende Rahmenbedingungen und mangelnder Zugang zu Finanzdienstleistungen führen jedoch dazu, dass der Privatsektor sein Potential derzeit nicht vollständig entfalten kann. ŒHier setzt das FZ-Modul an, indem es Reformen in den Bereichen finanzielle Inklusion, Kapitalmarktentwicklung und Finanzsystemstabilität entlang der Prioritäten der marokkanischen Regierung fördert. Die Umsetzung der Reformen wird mithilfe eines Darlehens in Höhe von insgesamt bis zu 450 Mio. EUR (Reformfinanzierung) an den marokkanischen Staat und in Form einer Begleitmaßnahme in Höhe von 15 Mio. EUR (Transformationsunterstützung) unterstützt. Die Reformen in den drei genannten Bereichen sind in Zusammenarbeit mit dem marokkanischen Finanzministerium und anderen wichtigen Akteuren im Sektor (bspw. Zentralbank) in einer Reformmatrix vereinbart worden, welche auf drei Jahre angelegt ist (2020-2022). Pro Jahr möchte und muss der marokkanische Staat bestimmte Reformschritte gehen. Diese werden in Form von Meilensteinen in der Matrix klar definiert. Die Auszahlung des Darlehens erfolgt ergebnisbasiert: Nur wenn die für ein Jahr vereinbarten Reformschritte (Meilensteine) umgesetzt sind, wird pro Jahr eine Tranche der Reformfinanzierung in den marokkanischen Staatshaushalt ausgezahlt. Insgesamt umfasst die Matrix 17 ambitionierte Reformmaßnahmen, von denen zehn Reformmaßnahmen als auszahlungsrelevant vereinbart worden sind. ŒZiel des FZ-Moduls ist es, die marokkanische Reformagenda umzusetzen. Diese verfolgt ein sozial inklusives Entwicklungsmodell durch strukturell verbesserte Rahmenbedingungen für Investitionen und einen verbesserten Zugang zu Finanzdienstleistungen für Privatpersonen sowie in- und ausländische Privatunternehmen. Zielgruppe im weiteren Sinne ist die gesamte marokkanische Bevölkerung, die nach der Umsetzung politischer Reformen von verbesserten ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen durch nachhaltiges Wirtschafts- und Beschäftigungswachstum profitiert. Unmittelbare Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind vulnerable Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie in- und ausländische Privatunternehmen, insbesondere KKMU und Startups, und deren Angestellte.

Corona-Soforthilfe in Marokko - Garantiemechanismus zur Abfederung wirtschaftlicher Auswirkungen  Aide d&apos urgence Corona au Maroc - Mécanisme de garantie pour amortir l&apos impact économique. Neun von zehn Unternehmen in Marokko sind kleinste, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KKMU). Sie sind ein entscheidender Motor für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und Beschäftigung. Zwar hat der Anteil der KKMU mit Zugang zu Krediten in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Dennoch wird die noch unzureichende Finanzierung der Geschäftstätigkeit von KKMU weiterhin als wesentliches Wachstumshindernis identifiziert. Weder Geschäftsbanken, noch Mikrofinanzinstitutionen können diese Kundengruppe bislang in adäquater Weise bedienen ("Missing Middle"). Die wirtschaftlich unsichere Lage angesichts der COVID-19-Pandemie verschärft diese Situation. Insbesondere KKMU leiden massiv unter den wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der COVID-19 Pandemie. Immer weniger Banken stellen KKMU Finanzierungen zur Verfügung - gleichzeitig haben diese einen erhöhten Bedarf, um Liquiditätsengpässe zu überwinden, Insolvenzen zu vermeiden oder die Geschäftstätigkeiten wieder aufzunehmen. ŒDas Vorhaben "Corona-Soforthilfe in Marokko - Garantiemechanismus zur Abfederung wirtschaftlicher Auswirkungen" soll mit kurz- bis mittelfristig umsetzbaren Maßnahmen marokkanische KKMU bei der Bewältigung der wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie unterstützen. Mithilfe von Kreditgarantien, welche von der staatlichen Garantieinstitution Caisse Centrale de Garantie (CCG) an marokkanische Banken herausgelegt werden, können diese ihre Kredite an KKMU absichern. Damit soll der Zugang zu Finanzierung für KKMU - auch in Zeiten der COVID-19-Pandemie - sichergestellt und verbessert werden. ŒZur Finanzierung des Vorhabens wird ein zinsverbilligtes Darlehen in Höhe von bis zu 400 Mio. EUR an den marokkanischen Staat herausgelegt. Die CCG hat das Mandat, aus diesen Mitteln dann Kreditgarantien zu finanzieren. ŒDas Vorhaben zielt auf die Abmilderung der negativen wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der COVID-19 Pandemie auf KKMU in Marokko ab, indem der Zugang zu Finanzierung sichergestellt bzw. verbessert und somit das Überleben von KKMU sowie die Wiederbelebung ihrer Wirtschaftstätigkeit gefördert werden. Die Zielgruppe sind formelle marokkanische KKMU, die von der COVID-19 Pandemie betroffen sind.

Digitale Transformation der marokkanischen Verwaltung. Die Region der Großen Seen wird in ihrer sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung von einem gravierenden Mangel an moderner Energie behindert. Die nationalen Strommärkte sind durch unzureichende Stromversorgung und schlechte Netzinfrastruktur einerseits und hohe Erzeugungskosten und ungünstige strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen anderseits gekennzeichnet. Im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (DRC), insbesondere in den Provinzen Nord- und Süd Kivu ist die Situation zusätzlich verschärft, da die Region nicht an das nationale Verbundnetz angeschlossen ist. Durch den geplanten Bau neuer (Ruzizi III, perspektivisch Ruzizi IV) und der Rehabilitierung bestehender (Ruzizi I, II) Wasserkraftwerke (WKW) am Grenzfluss Ruzizi wollen die drei Anrainerstaaten Ruanda, Burundi und die DRC diesem Hemmnis begegnen. Œ ŒDas hier vorgeschlagene Projekt beinhaltet die Finanzierung der zu den Ruzizi WKW zugehörigen - und ebenfalls regionalen - Infrastruktur. Diese umfasst den Bau der zum WKW Ruzizi III zugehörigen Schaltanlage, die Einrichtung eines regionalen Netzkontrollzentrums (sog. Dispatching Centre) mit der Aufgabe der Lastverteilung in der Region, sowie den Bau eines regionalen Wasserkoordinierungszentrums für die WKW Ruzizi I, II und III. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens betragen EUR 10,5 Mio. und werden von der FZ mit einem an die Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL) zugesagten FZ-Zuschuss (Afrika N.A.) in gleicher Höhe finanziert. Das Projekt wird unter der Federführung der Regionalorganisation EGL (Energie des Grands Lacs) in Abstimmung mit den drei nationalen Energieversorgern REG (Ruanda), REGIDESO (Burundi) und SNEL (DRC) sowie der Regionalorganisation NELSAP umgesetzt. Œ ŒProjektziel ist eine verbesserte Versorgung der Bevölkerung Burundis, Ruandas und des Ostkongos mit kostengünstigem und umweltfreundlichem Strom aus Wasserkraft. Hierdurch wird ein Beitrag zur Erhöhung der Versorgungssicherheit, zur Reduzierung der Kosten der Energieversorgung und zur Vertiefung der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit durch die Integration der regionalen Strommärkte geleistet (EZ-Programmziel). Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind die Stromkonsumenten in Ruanda, Burundi und dem Ostkongo, die von einer verbesserten Stromversorgung und niedrigeren Erzeugungskosten profitieren werden.  The Great Lakes region is hampered in its social and economic development by a severe lack of modern energy. The national electricity markets are characterised by insufficient power supply and poor grid infrastructure on the one hand, and high generation costs and unfavourable structural conditions on the other. In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), especially in the provinces of North and South Kivu, the situation is further aggravated as the region is not connected to the national interconnected grid. Through the planned construction of new (Ruzizi III, prospectively Ruzizi IV) and rehabilitation of existing (Ruzizi I, II) hydropower plants (HPPs) on the border river Ruzizi, the three riparian states Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC want to address this constraint. Œ ŒThe project proposed here includes the financing of the infrastructure associated with the Ruzizi hydropower plants, which is also regional. This includes the construction of the switching station associated with the Ruzizi III HPP, the establishment of a regional dispatching centre with the task of load sharing in the region, and the construction of a regional water coordination centre for the Ruzizi I, II and III HPPs.

The target group of the project are electricity consumers in Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Congo, who will benefit from an improved electricity supply and lower generation costs.  Verbesserung der Energieversorgung in der Region der Großen Seen  The Great Lakes region is hampered in its social and economic development by a severe lack of modern energy. The national electricity markets are characterised by insufficient power supply and poor grid infrastructure on the one hand, and high generation costs and unfavourable structural conditions on the other. In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), especially in the provinces of North and South Kivu, the situation is further aggravated as the region is not connected to the national interconnected grid. Through the planned construction of new (Ruzizi III, prospectively Ruzizi IV) and rehabilitation of existing (Ruzizi I, II) hydropower plants (HPPs) on the border river Ruzizi, the three riparian states Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC want to address this constraint.

Sustainable Management of Groundwater Resources in the Lake Chad Basin II. The Lake Chad Basin is one of Africa's largest water basin with a population of about 38 million in a region that is both economically and ecologically important. Ground-water resources account for more than 90 % of the total available water resources. The groundwater recharge rate and thus the availability of the resource will decrease due to decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures as consequences of climate change. The objective of the project is to strengthen the technical capacities of the Lake Chad Basin Commission to fulfil its mandate to advise and support its member countries on transboundary groundwater management adapted to climate change.  The services of the project include advising, supporting and training Lake Chad Basin Commission employees and experts from member countries in the preparation of climatic water balances and the development of a groundwater model for the Lake Chad Basin. A very good understanding of the dynamics and the development of the aquifers, taking into account the impacts of climate change, is a requirement for the development and implementation of measures adapted to the respective local conditions for the conservation and protection of water resources. These can include, e.g., the use of alternative groundwater resources (deep aquifers), bank filtration, rainwater collection and, if necessary, infiltration. For sustainable transboundary groundwater management, these will be further developed and coordinated with the member countries. The implementation of these measures can contribute to the adaptation to climate change as well as to water resource security and thus to the preservation of the livelihoods of the people in the Lake Chad basin.  The capacites of the CBLT to advise its member countries on transboundary groundwater management in the Lake Chad Basin adapted to climate change are strengthened.

epidemic control and health system strengthening. In Phase III, the core areas (1) and (2) are to be continued and the approach consolidated. In core area (1), in addition to consolidating the early warning system for epidemics, there will be a focus on expanding small-scale WASH infrastructure for additional health facilities in order to reduce the risk of epidemics spreading through adequate hygiene facilities. In the core area (2), there will be increased collaboration of community-based organisations on family planning, including early pregnancy prevention, sexual violence prevention and HIV/AIDS prevention. Due to the enormous need in this area, further engagement in social marketing with the national AIDS secretariat seems to make sense. This will result in improved integration and consolidate prevention measures against HIV/AIDS and promotional activities for the target group. In addition, it is planned to fund buildings for emergency obstetric care to the district hospital in Kambia in close cooperation with TC.

Programm Mikrofinanzsystementwicklung  Programme Developpement du Systeme de Microfinance. Projektziele sind die Stabilisierung des kongolesischen Finanzsektors, mehr Transparenz bei Kreditentscheidungen, eine nachhaltige und effiziente Angebotsausweitung von KKMU-Finanzdienstleistungen und letztlich der verbesserte Zugang von KKMU zu Krediten. Ein leistungsfähiges, zentral gesteuertes Kreditbüro ist dazu ein sehr geeignetes Instrument. Verschiedene Studien belegen die positive Korrelation zwischen dem Bestehen von Kreditbüros und dem Zugang zu Krediten. Die Einrichtung eines Kreditbüros, das umfassende, kreditrelevante Daten zeitnah elektronisch erfasst und zur Verfügung stellt, ist auch in der DRK ein wichtiger Bestandteil für die Förderung des Kleinkundengeschäfts durch Finanzinstitutionen. Kreditnehmer haben über die zentralisierte Sammlung von Kreditinformationen durch das Kreditbüro die Möglichkeit eine Kredithistorie aufzubauen und sich somit im Zeitverlauf für höhere Kreditsummen zu qualifizieren. Die Finanzinstitutionen können durch die Kredithistorie den Kreditnehmer besser einschätzen und mittelfristig ihre Kreditvergabe sowie das ausgelegte Kreditvolumen ausweiten. Dies ist aus Know-Your-Customer-Prinzipien, aber auch aus Responsible-Finance-Kriterien (Verantwortung zur Vermeidung von Überschuldung der Kreditnehmer) ein zentraler entwicklungspolitischer Effekt des Kreditbüros, wie die Verringerung der Kreditausfälle auf Seiten der Finanzinstitutionen (Reduktion der Kreditausfälle). Ferner entsteht eine signifikant verbesserte Datenlage für die Zentralbank, so dass diese ihrer Aufsichtsfunktion nachkommen kann. Erfahrungsgemäß umfasst der Aufbau eines Kreditbüros ebenfalls die Einführung eines Personenidentifikationssystems, so dass weitergehende Leistungen für andere entwicklungsrelevante Bereiche zu erwarten sind.  Programme Developpement du Systeme de Microfinance  Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, durch die Stärkung der Leistungsfähigkeit von kongolesischen Mikrofinanzinstituten (MFI) das nachhaltige und effiziente Angebot von bedarfsgerechten Finanzdienstleistungen für KKMU zu vergrößern.

Durch das FZ-Vorhaben kann somit ein umweltfreundlicher Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Stromversorgung in der DRC und im SAPP geleistet werden. Damit werden die Voraussetzungen für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und eine Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen im Land und in der Region geschaffen.  L'objectif du projet de la coopération financière allemande est de contribuer en temps utile à l'amélioration de l'approvisionnement en électricité en République démocratique du Congo (RDC) et dans le South African Power Pool (SAPP), de manière rentable et respectueuse de l'environnement.

Vocational Training and Agricultural Education. The FC project "Vocational Training and Agricultural Education, Phase IV" follows on conceptually from the previous FC commitment in the priority area "vocational training" and supports the Ethiopian vocational training sector. Quality improvement and capacity expansion in training for vocational students and vocational school teachers are to be improved in the new phase, particularly in agricultural training. Improved alignment of training with the needs of the labor market and the agricultural sector will improve employment and income opportunities for the target groups. With an additional gender component and the expansion of the training occupations to occupations more in demand by women, the project benefits women and girls in particular. A basic and advanced training measure (A+F) ensures the optimal and sustainable use of the equipment provided and raises the qualifications of vocational school teachers. Œ ŒThe FC program is integrated into the Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP 2010/11-2014/15) and the fourth phase of the Ethiopian Education Sector Development Program (ESDP IV). The measures work in synergy with the projects implemented by TC in the field of vocational and agricultural training as well as with the second DC priority area "Sustainable Land Management" (SLM) and, in the long term, with the innovation cluster of the BMZ special initiative "A World Without Hunger".

Credit line for MSMEs and agricultural finance. Core problem: ŒThe majority of the Mozambican population lives in rural areas and is engaged in agriculture. However, financial services for the sector are inadequate. According to the Mozambican Central Bank, on average only about 3 percent of domestic credit is provided to the agricultural sector. One reason for the lack of access to finance is the low presence of formal financial institutions in rural areas. To make matters worse, since the Mozambican financial crisis in 2016, financial institutions have become much more risk-averse, lending less and demanding a high risk premium, especially in rural areas. The Corona pandemic further exacerbates this issue. Œ ŒModule Objective: ŒThe module objective is: "Needs-based financing instruments targeted at MSMEs and the agricultural sector - preferably for rural areas - are sustainably provided and used." ŒThe FC module aims to provide a credit line to Mozambican partner financial institutions (PFIs) yet to be selected, which are to use these funds for lending to MSMEs operating in rural areas or in the agricultural sector. ŒIn times of the Corona pandemic, the PFIs will act even more risk-averse and be very selective in extending loans due to the increased risk of default. In order to ensure that there are still enough economically sound borrowers after the crisis, a grant component is provided in order to finance the running costs of the MSMEs. The grant component thus aims to maintain eligible MSMEs and, if necessary, to support them in their development and growth after the pandemic by facilitating access to loans at economically viable conditions. ŒAmong other things, the grants are also intended to counteract the expected mass loan defaults, which could also put the PFIs into financial difficulties. ŒIn this way, the foundation is laid for the sustainable development and expansion of the lending business geared to the rural sector. The module contributes to the stable provision and use of a broad range of needs-based financing instruments for MSMEs operating in rural regions and in the agricultural sector. Œ Œ ŒKey outputs: Œ- Economically sound MSMEs are sustained through the grant. Œ- Refinancing to selected PFIs is provided and utilised. Œ- Lending to borrowers in rural areas and the agricultural sector is improved. Œ ŒTarget group: ŒThe indirect target group of the FC module are preferably MSMEs operating in rural areas and in the agricultural sector, which receive improved access to financial services. Indirect beneficiaries are employees and the associated households and families of the supported MSMEs. ŒThe direct target group is the PFI and the Central Bank of Mozambique (BdM). Œ ŒContribution to the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda: ŒThe FC engagement in the priority area contributes to the creation of broad-based and sustainable economic growth as well as productive and decent employment (SDG 8). Overarching goals that are indirectly influenced by the measure are gender equality (SDG 5), the reduction of hunger (SDG 2) and poverty (SDG 1).

In order to ensure that there are still enough economically sound borrowers after the crisis, a grant component is provided in order to finance the running costs of the MSMEs. The grant component thus aims to maintain eligible MSMEs and, if necessary, to support them in their development and growth after the pandemic by facilitating access to loans at economically viable conditions. ŒAmong other things, the grants are also intended to counteract the expected mass loan defaults, which could also put the PFIs into financial difficulties. ŒIn this way, the foundation is laid for the sustainable development and expansion of the lending business geared to the rural sector. The module contributes to the stable provision and use of a broad range of needs-based financing instruments for MSMEs operating in rural regions and in the agricultural sector. Œ Œ ŒKey outputs: Œ- Economically sound MSMEs are sustained through the grant. Œ- Refinancing to selected PFIs is provided and utilised. Œ- Lending to borrowers in rural areas and the agricultural sector is improved. Œ ŒTarget group: ŒThe indirect target group of the FC module are preferably MSMEs operating in rural areas and in the agricultural sector, which receive improved access to financial services. Indirect beneficiaries are employees and the associated households and families of the supported MSMEs. ŒThe direct target group is the PFI and the Central Bank of Mozambique (BdM). Œ ŒContribution to the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda: ŒThe FC engagement in the priority area contributes to the creation of broad-based and sustainable economic growth as well as productive and decent employment (SDG 8). Overarching goals that are indirectly influenced by the measure are gender equality (SDG 5), the reduction of hunger (SDG 2) and poverty (SDG 1).

Kreditlinie KKMU und Agrarfinanzierung  Credit line for MSMEs and agricultural finance (AM). Kernproblem: ŒDie Mehrheit der mosambikanischen Bevölkerung lebt im ländlichen Raum und ist in der Landwirtschaft tätig. Finanzdienstleistungen für den Sektor sind jedoch unzureichend. Nach Angaben der mosambikanischen Zentralbank werden durchschnittlich nur rd. 3 Prozent inländischer Kredite für den Agrarsektor bereitgestellt. Ein Grund für den fehlenden Zugang zu Finanzmitteln ist u.a. die geringe Präsenz formaler Finanzinstitute in ländlichen Gebieten. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass die Finanzinstitute seit der mosambikanischen Finanzkrise in 2016 deutlich risikoaverser agieren und insbesondere im ländlichen Raum weniger Kredite auslegen und einen hohen Risikoaufschlag fordern. Durch die Corona-Pandemie wird diese Problematik noch weiter verschärft. Œ ŒModulziel: ŒDas Modulziel lautet: "Auf KKMU und den Agrarsektor ausgerichtete, bedarfsgerechte Finanzierungsinstrumente - vorzugsweise für den ländlichen Raum - werden nachhaltig bereitgestellt und genutzt." ŒDas FZ-Modul zielt auf die Bereitstellung von Capacity Building- und Trainingsmaßnahmen ab, die (i) die Partnerfinanzinstitutionen ("PFls") befähigen sollen, ihre Kapazitäten für die zielgruppenorientierte Kreditvergabe an Kleinst-, Klein- und mittlere Betriebe ("KKMU") und die Agrarfinanzierung auszubauen  (ii) die Kapazitäten des Projektträgers zur Verwaltung der Kreditlinien an ausgewählte PFIs erhöhen sollen. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs: Œ Wirtschaftlich gesunde KKMU werden durch den Zuschuss erhalten. Œ Refinanzierung an ausgewählte PFI ist bereitgestellt und wird genutzt. Œ Kreditvergabe an Kreditnehmer (KN) im ländlichen Raum und dem Agrarsektor wird verbessert. Œ ŒZielgruppe: ŒMittelbare Zielgruppe des FZ-Moduls sind vorzugsweise in ländlichen Regionen und im Agrarsektor tätige KKMU, die verbesserten Zugang zu Finanzdienstleistungen erhalten. Indirekt profitieren Mitarbeiter und die dazugehörigen Haushalte und Familien der geförderten KKMU. ŒUnmittelbare Zielaruppe sind die PFI sowie die mosambikanische Zentralbank (BdM). Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030: ŒDas FZ-Engagement im Schwerpunkt trägt zur Schaffung von breitenwirksamen und nachhaltigem Wirtschaftswachstum sowie zu produktiver und menschenwürdiger Beschäftigung (SDG 8) bei. Übergeordnete Ziele, die durch die Maßnahme indirekt beeinflusst werden, sind die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter (SDG 5), die Reduzierung von Hunger (SDG 2) und Armut (SDG 1).  Core problem: ŒThe majority of the Mozambican population lives in rural areas and is engaged in agriculture. However, financial services for the sector are inadequate. According to the Mozambican Central Bank, on average only about 3 percent of domestic credit is provided to the agricultural sector. One reason for the lack of access to finance is the low presence of formal financial institutions in rural areas. To make matters worse, since the Mozambican financial crisis in 2016, financial institutions have become much more risk-averse, lending less and demanding a high risk premium, especially in rural areas. The Corona pandemic further exacerbates this issue. Œ ŒModule Objective: ŒThe module objective is: "Needs-based financing instruments targeted at MSMEs and the agricultural sector - preferably for rural areas - are sustainably provided and used." ŒThe FC module concerns capacity building and training measures (i) to enable partner financial institutions ("PFls") to upgrade their capacities for target-group oriented credit lending to micro, small and medium enterprises ("MSME") and agricultural financing  (ii) to increase the capacities of the Project-Executing Agency to administer the credit lines to selected PFIs.

Jordan: Promotion of Vocational Education III (VPT2 to 37524). Lacking income and employment opportunities represent a major challenge in the MENA region. This also applies to Jordan, where official unemployment among youth has reached more than 40% (15-24 years, 2021). This is due to cultural values and often poor quality of trainings provided by Vocational Institutes in Jordan. Young people thus have few opportunities for economic participation and employment, while the private sector suffers from a shortage of qualified employees. ŒThis measure represents the second phase if a very closely interlinked first phase (see 37524) of the overall concept 'HTUplus'. ŒThe aim of HTUplus is to increase the attractiveness of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and thus to contribute to a mind-shift among younger population in Jordan, where an academic career is considered as the preferable path to strive for. Œ ŒPhase I foresees i) construction and equipment of a new TVET campus under the umbrella of the Al Hussein Technical University (HTU) in Amman, and ii) rehabilitate, upgrade and provide modernized training courses in selected areas of the public vocational institutes in Irbid for their long-term integration into the HTUplus model. Œ ŒPhase II (consisting of 40425 and 40322) is intended to provide further support to the project partner HTU as lighthouse of labormarket-oriented TVET and in acting as driver of change, reforming the TVET sector in Jordan. Under Phase II, the concept of HTUplus is to be extended to additional 5 TVET institutes, geographically located all across Jordan. Rehabilitation and construction works, as well as a modernization of training capacities and programmes in selected areas ought to pave the way for a long-term integration under the umbrella of HTUplus in order to support a nationwide breakthrough of practice-oriented and high-quality TVET in Jordan.

Water Loss Reduction Programme (DKTI). Jordan's water supply is already one of the lowest in the world and will continue to decline as a result of climate change. As a result, for example, 300 million m³ of desalinated seawater will be transported from Aqaba to Amman in an energy-intensive manner via the so-called "National Conveyor". At the same time, unbilled water accounts for between 32% and 71% of the water fed into the grid. In view of the high energy consumption of the Jordanian water sector and the associated high greenhouse gas emissions, it is all the more important that drinking water is not infiltrated but is available for the supply of the population. Œ ŒThe project entails a performance-based contract with a private operator. In order to reduce administrative and technical losses, old pipelines will be rehabilitated, water meters installed, and house connections replaced. The private operator will be responsible for invoicing and bill collection, as well as having the mandate to disconnect illegal connections with the support of WAJ and Yarmouk Water Company. After the construction measures have been carried out, the private operator will take over several years of operation management of the drinking water infrastructure. Œ ŒThe aim of the module is to improve the water balance and financial situation of the water company by reducing technical and administrative water losses in the project area, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to strengthen the climate resilience of the population. Œ ŒThe project is being implemented in Jordan in the northern governorate of Mafraq in the service area of Mafraq ROU. The target group to benefit from a general stabilisation of the water supply is the inhabitants of the project area in Mafraq. It is home to approx. 380,000 people, many of which are refugees.  By sustainably reducing technical and administrative water losses in the programme area, the water balance and the financial situation of the water utilities are improved, the greenhouse gas emissions are reduced and the climate resilience of the population is strengthened.

Corona emergency aid: Social security against COVID-19-induced poverty. In addition to health impacts, the COVID 19 pandemic has had significant negative socio-economic impacts in Jordan. Particularly affected are vulnerable, poor, or households at risk of poverty who have now lost their income and are not entitled to unemployment insurance. They can hardly cover their basic needs. The project contributes to the social protection of the affected households by supporting the National Aid Fund (NAF) as the central actor for social assistance payments to poor Jordanian households through a Joint Financing Agreement (JFA). The German contribution is intended to support the implementation of the NAF's COVID 19 special programmes. The aim is to co-finance the "Takaful No. 3 Recovery Program", which will provide cash transfers for up to 100,000 households for a period of up to twelve months beginning in January 2021. It focuses on households that received their income from informal work and are now unemployed and without social protection. Furthermore, households which were in regular employment before the crisis but have lost it and are not (anymore) receiving insurance benefits due to gaps in insurance coverage can also benefit from the services.

Education Financing for Employment (AM). The project is intended to make a direct contribution to improving the attractiveness and relevance of vocational training and the interfaces to school and university training in Jordan, as well as its relevance to the labor market. ŒAs part of the project, a state-wide financing facility is to be established which, by granting student loans, will enable talented and ambitious young people with limited financial resources to complete selected recognized training courses and (short-term) training courses in promising areas and to promote their employability. On the one hand, on the basis of appropriate selection mechanisms and cooperation structures between the funding program and reputable TVET providers and growth companies, needs-based educational offers are to be identified that are assessed as qualifying by the private sector and enable formal employment with sufficient income. At the same time, talented, motivated young people who need financial support for admission to one of the preselected training measures are to be identified and selected. ŒThese should strive to take up formal employment and at the same time commit to repaying the funds provided in the form of a time-based percentage of future salary. In the course of and after completing their qualification measure, the beneficiaries are to be supported by a wide range of non-financial services. Œ ŒThe Jordanian Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) will be responsible for this. The CPF will delegate implementation responsibility to a fund management unit which, as a 100% subsidiary of the CPF and a legally independent, non-profit company, is institutionally located directly below the CPF.  It is the goal of the measure to contribute to the provision of demand-oriented financing instruments for talented youth in Jordaen to enable them to enter into a high-quality TVET education measure. The measure will put a specific focus on supporting women.

UNICEF Jordanien, No Lost Generation / Makani Center IV (VPT 3). The Project is a continuation of the German support to the "No Lost Generation Initiative", the UNICEF education and social protection programme in Jordan. The aim of the project is to improve access to education and protection for vulnerable children and youth, as well as to support vulnerable youth in finding employment. Œ ŒJordan's economic situation has deteriorated following the COVID-19 pandemic. Unemployment rates rose sharply in the first quarter of 2021, especially among young adults.

Urban Infrastructure Insurance Facility (UIIF). The project strives to improve the protection of critical infrastructure and poor and vulnerable population in cities in Latin America against the negative impacts of climate change. Cities receive support to make use of new or restructured insurance cover against natural disasters, which quickly provides financial resources to rebuild critical infrastructure and support the poor vulnerable population through emergency relief measures. The UIIF initiates product development by the private sector and bears a share of the development costs. Cities are supported in the acquisition of the policy by a temporary limited premium subsidy. The insurance policies are bundled in a newly established risk pool in order to achieve diversification benefits. The cities will be strengthened in their capabilities in comprehensive climate risk management through targeted technical advice in order to minimize risks and to use the insurance payments in a sustainable manner.

Green bonds are fixed-interest bonds issued by players with an active involvement in climate financing (including private and state banks, project developers of renewable energy projects). In this context, the proceeds from the bond are allocated to a specific climate project and compliance with binding criteria is monitored transparently during the term of the bond. ŒAn anchor investment by LAGREEN in a green bond has a positive signalling effect to the local capital market: if LAGREEN examines and implements an investment, it becomes more attractive for local investors to invest in the same green bond. This introduces private investors to this relatively new financial market instrument and attracts them to invest directly in Green Bonds. The LAGREEN thus leverages the public funds used and provides urgently needed additional private capital for climate-friendly investments to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, LAGREEN plans to invest in local currency green bonds where possible to encourage the development of local capital markets.

Financing of salaries in support of accelerating access for Syrian refugee children in formal education VI. The Jordanian education system is heavily overloaded due to high numbers of Syrian refugees, so that a large number of Syrian children cannot be properly educated. The majority of refugee children are taught in double-shift schools mostly separately from local children, which makes integration more difficult. At the same time, there is a lack of employment opportunities for Jordanians, which increasingly leads to social tensions against the backdrop of the refugee crisis. The core problem was further exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. ŒThe project aims to contribute to maintaining and expanding the employment of teachers and administrative staff in order to improve access to primary and secondary education for Syrian refugee children. The measure includes the funding for the salaries of a total of 7,890 teachers and administrative staff in the school year 2021/2022 and focuses primarily on regions with a particularly high density of refugees in the north of the country and in Amman. In cooperation with other donors (especially the EU, USAID, UK), this will ensure the financing of education for up to 147,800 Syrian children.

JOR - UNICEF, Support of the Education Sector by Syrian Refugees, Phase III. The ongoing civil war in Syria has led to an influx of refugees into Jordan. The project's aim is to generate income and improve the living conditions for Syrian refugees in Jordan. It also contributes to improving the integration opportunities of Syrian refugee children into the Jordanian school system. It is assumed that no return of refugees to Syria will be possible for the time being. Œ ŒThe overall objective of the SI (Special Initiative on Displacement) measure is to create access to employment opportunities and thus improve the social protection of Syrian refugees in Jordan. Additionally, the quality of education at educational institutions shall be improved through the support of Syrian refugees. Syrian refugee children will benefit from improved living conditions and future prospects through the support by Syrian volunteers for schools and kindergarten (in host communities and the Azraq and Za'atari refugee camps) as well as Makani centres. This will prevent the creation of a "lost generation". Œ ŒThe direct target group are Syrian refugees (approximately 1,490 refugees per year) who will support the existing teaching and school staff in the educational institutions as well as support educational programs in the Makani centres in various roles. The indirect target group are Syrian refugee children (approximately 158,000 children in schools and 60,000 children in Makani centres annually).

Water Supply and Sanitation for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities X. Jordan is amongst the water scarcest countries worldwide. For years, the water consumption in the country has exceeded the supply of renewable water resources, resulting in a continuous decrease of groundwater levels. At the same time, there has been a rapid population increase in recent years to now 10 million people, partly due to the large number of refugees who reached the country in the wake of the Syria crisis. The UN refugee agency UNHCR currently counts around 670,000 registered Syrian refugees, 80% of whom live in host communities. Particularly the public service provision in the Northern Governorates of Jordan continues to suffer from the influx of refugees. Œ ŒThis project aims at improving the water supply and sewage services for the local population and Syrian refugees in the North of Jordan and at preventing conflicts. By protecting groundwater from pollution through improved wastewater disposal as well as by reducing water losses in the water network the project also contributes to support the adaptation to climate change. The planned measures in the field of water supply in particular include the rehabilitation of water networks, of main transmission lines and of pumping stations. In the field of wastewater disposal, the main focus shall lie on the extension of sewer networks. Small-scale measures to improve the water supply and sanitation situation of vulnerable households are also planned. Œ ŒSyrian refugees and the local population in the four Northern Governorates, with a population of around two million, will benefit from the project. A special focus is on the host communities of Mafraq, Irbid, as well as Ajloun and Jerash. The project will be implemented with the Water Authority of Jordan as the project executing agency.

Climate-adapted infrastructure planning in the water sector. With available water resources of 65 m3 per year and inhabitant, Jordan is already one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. While the demand for water will increase in the coming years, a further decline in water resources is expected due to climate change. In order to ensure the human right of the Jordanian population to adequate water and sanitation in the long term, efficient use of water resources is essential. The basic prerequisite for this is the introduction and implementation of water management planning in the Jordanian water sector. ŒBuilding on the results of ongoing projects of the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the preparation of a national water master plan, a detailed wastewater treatment concept for the cities of Amman and Zarqa is to be preparedwithin the framework of this module. The aim of the module is to contribute to a sustainable and efficient management of scarce water resources in Jordan derived from strategic water management and infrastructure planning. ŒIn addition to resource protection, improved wastewater infrastructure planning is intended to promote essential elements of good governance as well as increasing Jordan's adaptive capacity to climate change. ŒThe module objective is to be achieved through the use of an international consulting firm to support the project executing agency in the preparation of climate-resilient wastewater infrastructure planning. ŒThe project executing agency is the Water Authority of Jordan, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and is already a long-standing partner of the German financial cooperation.

Financing of salaries in support of accelerating access for Syrian refugee children in formal education VII. The Jordanian education system is heavily overloaded due to high numbers of Syrian refugees, so that a large number of Syrian children cannot be properly educated. The majority of refugee children are taught in double-shift schools mostly separately from local children, which makes integration more difficult. At the same time, there is a lack of employment opportunities for Jordanians, which increasingly leads to social tensions against the backdrop of the refugee crisis. The core problem was further exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. ŒThe project aims to contribute to maintaining and expanding the employment of teachers and administrative staff in order to improve access to primary and secondary education for Syrian refugee children. The measure includes the funding for the salaries of a total of 5,430 teachers and administrative staff in the school year 2022/2023 and focuses primarily on regions with a particularly high density of refugees in the north of the country and in Amman. In cooperation with other donors (especially the EU, USAID, UK), this will ensure the financing of education for up to 150,000 Syrian children.

Results-based Financing in the Watersector II. The "Results-based Financing in the Water Sector II" project concerns the proper operation and maintenance of Jordan's water supply and sanitation infrastructure. The purpose of the Project is to contribute to improving the cost-efficient operation and maintenance of Jordan's water supply and sanitation infrastructure and thus increase the resilience of water utilities to external shocks. This shall be achieved through: Œ- the results-based financing of small and medium sized infrastructure and maintenance projects at the level of all water utilities (component 1) and Œ- the financing of performance-based contracts for the operation of selected wastewater treatment plants of Yarmouk Water Company (component 2). ŒThe project is being implemented together with Jordan's three regional water supply companies and the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) as the project sponsor. The target group is the population that will benefit from the improved operation of the infrastructure and maintenance projects identified during the course of the project.

Latin American Green Bond Fund - Regional Investment Window, Phase III. The objective of the structured fund Latin American Green Bond Fund (LAGREEN) is to prepare and make anchor investments in green bonds in cooperation with local issuers in Latin America. Green bonds are fixed-interest bonds issued by players with an active involvement in climate financing (including private and state banks, project developers of renewable energy projects). In this context, the proceeds from the bond are allocated to a specific climate project and compliance with binding criteria is monitored transparently during the term of the bond. ŒAn anchor investment by LAGREEN in a green bond has a positive signalling effect to the local capital market: if LAGREEN examines and implements an investment, it becomes more attractive for local investors to invest in the same green bond. This introduces private investors to this relatively new financial market instrument and attracts them to invest directly in Green Bonds. The LAGREEN thus leverages the public funds used and provides urgently needed additional private capital for climate-friendly investments to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, LAGREEN plans to invest in local currency green bonds where possible to encourage the development of local capital markets.

Credit guarantees for private sector employment. The measure supports the Project Partner and Implementing Agency Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation (JLGC) in setting up a new loan guarantee facility for the explicit promotion of employment in Jordan. The provision of loan guarantees to Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs) means a sharing of default risk resulting from SME-loans. This sets an incentive for PFIs to further extend their loan activities to SMEs. In turn, the improved access to finance for SMEs allows them to invest, grow and thus create jobs. The promotion of new, formal and sustainable employment opportunities is the explicit and ultimate target of the measure. Accordingly, the granting of the loan guarantees is directly linked to the plausible job creation potential at the borrowing SME. In addition, a job creation premium, stretched over a period of five years, provides an incentive to not only create but also sustainably maintain a job. The premium will only be paid upon periodic proof of the existence and social security coverage of the job. Œ ŒThe new facility particularly aims at those SMEs with no or only insufficient access to finance. Therefore, a more pro-active and new role is foreseen for JLGC, becoming the point of entry for SMEs. This implies an inversion of the traditional approval and granting process (1. Bank loan, 2. JLGC loan guarantee). This is expected to strengthen the bankability and thus financing chances for SMEs. The incentive for Partnerbanks, in turn, lies within a simplification of the selection process and thus lower transaction costs.

Water Resources Management Programme VIII. The "Water Resources Management Program VIII" project builds on the predecessor projects of the WRMP (WRMP I - VII) and is designed as a fundamentally open program for the financing of water projects in Jordan. Financing is currently planned for a seawater desalination plant (component 1), for water loss reduction (component 2) and a component for financial support of the Project Management Unit (PMU), located at the Water Authority of Jordan project management agency, (component 3). However, measures to expand supply networks or water transport systems could also be taken into account or measures to reduce water loss could be expanded if these are prioritized by the partner due to changed framework conditions. For component 1, the German contribution to the National Desalination Project, a cooperation was entered into with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the French Agence Française de Développement (AFD) under the Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI), where the EIB acts as the lead donor. The target group of the project is the entire population of Jordan (around 11 million people including Syrian refugees in the project region).

Credit guarantees for private sector employment (Accompanying Measure). The accompnaying measure aims at supporting the achievement of the objectives of the associated main measure (50883, loan guarantees for employment in Jordan). The main measure supports the Project Partner and Implementing Agency Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation (JLGC) in setting up a new loan guarantee facility for the explicit promotion of employment in Jordan. The aim is to increase banks' lending activities to SMEs by providing loan guarantees, thus sharing the default risk. The improved access to finance for SMEs allows them to invest, grow and thus create jobs. Given the innovative and comprehensive character of the measure, combining a financial sector approach with the explicit target of employment promotion requires targeted, yet strong support for implementation. Therefore, the accompanying measure will provide technical as well as systemic-technical support for JLGC in particular, for whom the implementation of the measure implies a new role, increasing tasks and responsibilities for setting up and managing the new facility. Further, needs-based measures for digital support of the processes at JLGC aim at promoting efficient and productive management of the facility. In addition, targeted technical support is to be provided for SMEs to strengthen their applications as well as for banks in selected areas, e.g. to support their risk assessment. Further, a marketing campaign is foreseen to ensure a broad, but targeted publication of the new facility.

Financing of salaries in support of accelerating access for Syrian refugee children in formal education JOR VIII. The Jordanian education system is heavily overloaded due to high numbers of Syrian refugees, so that a large number of Syrian children cannot be properly educated. The majority of refugee children are taught in double-shift schools mostly separately from local children, which makes integration more difficult. At the same time, there is a lack of employment opportunities for Jordanians, which increasingly leads to social tensions against the backdrop of the refugee crisis. ŒThe project aims to contribute to maintaining and expanding the employment of teachers and administrative staff in order to improve access to primary and secondary education for Syrian refugee children. The measure includes the funding for the salaries of a total of 5,700 teachers and administrative staff in the school year 2023/2024 and focuses primarily on regions with a particularly high density of refugees in the north of the country and in Amman. In cooperation with other donors (especially the EU, USAID, UK), this will ensure the financing of education for up to 150,000 Syrian children.

Additionally, the quality of education at educational institutions shall be improved through the support of Syrian refugees. Syrian refugee children will benefit from improved living conditions and future prospects through the support by Syrian volunteers for schools and kindergarten (in host communities and the refugee camps Azraq and Za'atari) as well as Makani centres. This will prevent the creation of a "lost generation". Œ ŒThe direct target group are Syrian refugees (appr. 635) who will support the existing teaching and school staff in the educational institutions as well as support in educational programs in the Makani centres in various roles. The indirect target group are Syrian refugee children (appr. 103,000 children in schools and 30,000 children in Makani centres annually).

Policy Advice Groundwater - Sustainable resources management for socioeconomic development and resilience. The SV will be active in three priority areas, two of them will be carried out in cooperation with GIZ and KfW. With the "Blue Transition" initiative, the SV develops concepts for GW management in urban areas (focus 1). In accordance with the concept of the "sponge city", water is to be kept and stored in the city via green infrastructure, thus contributing to climate adaptation through cooling and to a higher quality of life through recreational areas. In addition, GW resources provide a reliable source of water for the city's drinking water supply.   The SV will also focus on the potential of groundwater resources in rural areas in SSA (focus 2). New findings on the availability of renewable groundwater resources show a considerable development potential for rural drinking water supply and agricultural development. In addition to a secure drinking water supply, food security, poverty reduction, climate change adaptation and gender equality can be addressed through integrated planning of water resources and development policy goals. In the context of development cooperation, nature-based solutions also offer multiple benefits in many fields of application compared to classical approaches to natural resource management. Although they require more coordination between the sectors and actors involved. Groundwater often plays an important role as a natural water reservoir in this context, but there is often still a lack of scientifically sound concepts for the integrated assessment of its benefits and the weighing of conflicting development goals. Therefore, in the following term, the SV will develop a concept of how groundwater can generate added value in terms of development policy within the framework of nature-based solutions.

Œ Fishery resources in MPAs and relevant connectivity areas of the PTEC are used more sustainably and with the involvement of relevant stakeholders. Œ The regional integration for the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources in PTEC is strengthened. ŒThe direct target group are the people who are actively involved in the implementation of the FC module. This is likely to include primarly the staff of the project executing agency PACIFICO, the staff of the supported protected areas, local communities and user groups, NGOs, representatives of science and politics, and the private sector. ŒIndirect beneficiaries are all inhabitants of the PTEC coastal region whose livelihoods depend on the ecological functions of the PTEC. Œ  The Central Tropical Eastern Pacific (Spanish: Pacífico Tropical Este Central, PTEC) includes the exclusive economic zones, islands, and coastal regions of four countries (Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia and Panama) over an area of around 2 million km² and is considered one of the most biologically diverse and productive marine regions in the world. The FC regional project "Fondo Pacífico - Marine Conservation" aims to contribute to the preservation of the region's biodiversity and ensure the sustainable use of its natural resources. To this end, a grant of EUR 10 million is to be provided to the project executing agency, the regional environmental fund PACIFICO.

SME Fund for nature conservation-related private investments (ECO Business III). The Region of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity. The main drivers of degradation include land use changes, water pollution and unsustainable forms of fishing and nature tourism. Political and private decision-makers have been calling for the transformation of our economic system towards a "green economy" for several years. The financial sector is playing an important supporting role in this process. Capital must be available in sufficient amounts and channelled in such a way that an ecological restructuring ("greening") of central sectors becomes possible. ŒThe overarching developmental objective of the measure is the conservation of natural resources and the protection of biodiversity through the efficient and needs-based provision of capital for biodiversity-friendly and resource-efficient forms of production in the agriculture, forestry, fisheries and nature-based tourism sectors. The module objective is the successful introduction of a new financial product for the financing and promotion of resource-efficient and biodiversity-friendly forms of production in LAC. The project executing agency is the eco.business Fund. The fund was established in 2014 by KfW, the non-governmental organisation Conservation International (CI) and Finance in Motion (FiM) as a public-private partnership instrument in the form of a structured fund based in Luxembourg. The target groups of the measure are i) selected locally based partner financial institutions, ii) local enterprises from the agriculture, forestry, fisheries and nature-based tourism sectors, and iii) private sector investors.

Latin American Green Bond Fund - Regional Investment Window, Phase I. The objective of the structured fund Latin American Green Bond Fund (LAGREEN) is to prepare and make anchor investments in green bonds in cooperation with local issuers. Green bonds are fixed-interest bonds issued by players with an active involvement in climate financing (including private and state banks, project developers of renewable energy projects). In this context, the proceeds from the bond are allocated to a specific climate project and compliance with binding criteria is monitored transparently during the term of the bond. ŒAn anchor investment by LAGREEN in a green bond has a positive signalling effect to the local capital market: if LAGREEN examines and implements an investment, it becomes more attractive for local investors to invest in the same green bond. This introduces private investors to this relatively new financial market instrument and attracts them to invest directly in Green Bonds. The LAGREEN thus leverages the public funds used and provides urgently needed additional private capital for climate-friendly investments to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, LAGREEN plans to invest in local currency green bonds where possible to encourage the development of local capital markets.

Groundwater Resources Management in Jordan. Jordan is one of the most water-poor countries in the world and water consumption is constantly increasing due to poor management, population growth, economic development, agricultural irrigation and the absorption of Syrian refugees. Jordan has 57 m³ per capita per year of renewable water resources. The use of groundwater is not sustainable, since the proportion of non-renewable resources and overexploitation of about 600 Mm³ far exceeds the amount of renewable resources. Agriculture consumes between 50 and 70% of the country's fresh water resources and the trend is increasing. With a share of 15% of the total electricity consumption, the water suppliers are among the largest electricity consumers in Jordan. It is also associated with high CO2 emissions, as over 90% of electricity generation in Jordan is based on imported fossil fuels. The competencies of the Jordanian Ministry of Water for monitoring, evaluating and managing groundwater resources and for assessing the economic viability of options for action are insufficient. The target group are the employees of the MWI and the WAJ. In addition, decision-makers in water and planning authorities, parliamentary decision-makers and other important actors in the water sector are involved. The TC approach of the module is the combination of a scientifically based, professional international contribution with the institutionalization of processes for improved management of groundwater resources in the Jordanian government and administration. The project implements skills development measures as well as organizational and process consulting. It works with MWI, WAJ and water suppliers and supports the formation of networks for the coordination and control tasks of the state.  The competencies of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI) and its subordinate agencies for managing Groundwater Resources are improved.

The project is a continuation and conceptual development of the project "Natural Forest Maya I", which ended in 2020. The target is to consolidate its positive results and further strengthen regional cooperation by contributing to the implementation of the "Estrategia Integral Selva Maya 2030" developed in Phase I. As the largest contiguous tropical forest area north of the Amazon, the Selva Maya extends across southeastern Mexico, northern Guatemala and Belize. Thus, the Selva Maya represents a significant carbon sink and forms the livelihood of the population living in the project area and dependent on the use of natural resources. Due to numerous archaeological sites, the Selva Maya also has a high cultural value. However, the unique ecosystem, its biodiversity as well as the provision of ecosystem services is increasingly threatened through loss of forest resources, degradation and fragmentation of forest landscapes. Therefore, the project aims to conserve and protect biodiversity, cultural heritage and sustainable use of natural resources in selected protected areas and their zones of interconnection. The project contributes to the protection of the global climate (SDG 13) and the conservation of biodiversity (SDG 15). Œ ŒThe measures financed are selected using the principle of competition. Among other things, they help to improve the connectivity and management of protected areas and promote the sustainable use of natural resources. The recipient of the grant of up to EUR 20.5 million and project promoter is the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The target group of the project is the rural population of the Selva Maya, whose livelihood is based on the use of natural resources. The project area covers territories in the three countries of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.

Integrated environmental management with indigenous peoples in Central America II. The Project seeks to promote the identification, designation and recognition of areas outside of state protected areas whose main concern is not the protection of nature, but which conserve biodiversity as a "by-product" through effective measures (so-called "Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures", OECMs) - a case in point are indigenous territories with low human interference. The Project thus makes a significant contribution to the implementation of the international Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, in particular to the achievement of Strategic Goal 1 (Reducing threats to biodiversity) and its Key Objective 3. Œ ŒUnder the Project, indigenous peoples and local communities (target group) are rewarded for ensuring the long-term conservation of biodiversity in the areas they collectively manage, thereby providing important ecosystem services. Compensation payments financed from Project can be used to finance community investments on the basis of Local Development Plans. Œ ŒThe objective of the Project is for indigenous peoples and local communities in Central America to make a long-term contribution to the conservation of biodiversity in strategically important ecosystems, secure their livelihoods and strengthen their self-determination. Œ ŒThe target group are indigenous peoples and local communities that protect strategically important ecosystems in prioritized landscapes in Central America and use their natural resources sustainably. According to current estimates around 20,000 people will benefit directly from the project measures.  Indigenous peoples and local communities in Central America make a long-term contribution to the conservation of biodiversity in strategically important ecosystems, secure their livelihoods and strengthen their self-determination.

UNOPS Jordan II Employment intensive maintenance and repair in public spaces (public schools in Jordan). The Jordanian government estimates that around 1.3 million of the 6.7 million Syrian refugees are staying in Jordan. In September 2023, around 650,000 (around 50% children) were registered with the UNHCR. In addition, there are Palestinian refugees and refugees from other countries such as Iraq, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia. The majority of refugees in Jordan do not live in camps, but in host communities, with the largest number of Syrian refugees living in the northern governorates. Œ ŒThe Jordanian labour market was already characterised by structural problems before the outbreak of the Syrian war. Unemployment remains high, even though the economy recovered from the Covid-19 crisis in 2021. There is a lack of income opportunities for both vulnerable Jordanians and refugees. These developments lead to increasing tensions between and within population groups. ŒRegarding the education sector, even before the Syrian crisis, around 400 schools were operating on a double-shift basis. The high number of refugees because of the Syrian crisis has exacerbated this situation. According to the UNHCR, 50% of the refugees are under 17 years old. Endurance of school buildings is considerably shortened due to overuse. This effect is exacerbated by the fact that Jordan does not have a functioning cleaning, maintenance, and repair system for public schools. As a result, schools find themselves in poor condition only a few years (sometimes months) after they are put into operation. Œ ŒBy creating short-term employment opportunities for up to 12,000 beneficiaries, the project aims to help improve the living conditions of vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians, as well as the learning environment in up to 390 public schools in Jordan in the short term.

Water and sanitation of Syrian refugees - Phase IX. Jordan is amongst the water scarcest countries worldwide. For years, the water consumption in the country has exceeded the supply of renewable water resources, resulting in a continuous decrease of groundwater levels. At the same time, there has been a rapid population increase in recent years to now 10 million people, partly due to the large number of refugees who reached the country in the wake of the Syria crisis. The UN refugee agency UNHCR currently counts around 670,000 registered Syrian refugees, 80% of whom live in host communities. Particularly the public service provision in the Northern Governorates of Jordan continues to suffer from the influx of refugees. Œ ŒThis project aims at improving the water supply and sewage services for the local population and Syrian refugees in the North of Jordan and at preventing conflicts. By protecting groundwater from pollution through improved wastewater disposal as well as by reducing water losses in the water network the project also contributes to support the adaptation to climate change. The planned measures in the field of water supply in particular include the rehabilitation of water networks, of main transmission lines and of pumping stations. In the field of wastewater disposal, the main focus shall lie on the extension of sewer networks. Small-scale measures to improve the water supply and sanitation situation of vulnerable households are also planned. Œ ŒSyrian refugees and the local population in the four Northern Governorates, with a population of around two million, will benefit from the project. A special focus is on the host communities of Mafraq, Irbid, as well as Ajloun and Jerash. The project will be implemented with the Water Authority of Jordan as the project executing agency.

Promotion of Technical and Vocational Education and Training. Lacking income and employment opportunities represent a major challenge in the MENA region. This also applies to Jordan, where official unemployment among youth has reached more than 40% (15-24 years, 2021). This is due to cultural values and often poor quality of trainings provided by Vocational Institutes in Jordan. Young people thus have few opportunities for economic participation and employment, while the private sector suffers from a shortage of qualified employees. The aim of the FC funded measure is to increase the attractiveness of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and therefore to contribute to a mind-shift among younger population in Jordan, where an academic career is considered as the preferable path to strive for. Œ ŒImplementing partner of the project is the Al Hussein Technical University (HTU). The foreseen 'downscaling' approach aims at HTU starting to gradually integrate two existing vocational institutes in Irbid and setting-up its own TVET Campus in Amman (HTUplus TVET Campus). Œ ŒThe envisaged increase of attractiveness of TVET is aimed for by Œ- Having a technical university, an institution of the Crown Prince Foundation with excellent reputation, offering non-academic TVET trainings Œ- Allowing for permeability, i.e. making it possible to potentially continue with a bachelor's degree even without having a Jordanian high school diploma, after successful completion of various TVET levels Œ- Providing affordable, high-quality and labour-market oriented TVET programmes Œ ŒTVET programmes are initially to be offered in 7 occupational areas and based on German occupational standards and profiles. Œ ŒIn a second Phase of the project, which is very closely interlinked, the HTUplus model is foreseen to be further extended to additional existing TVET Institutes throughout Jordan (see 40425 and 43022).

Improving Energy Efficiency through Electricity Generation from Biogas in Wastewater Treatment Plants (DKTI). Goal: Optimisation of the energy balance through biogas production from sewage sludge. ŒIn Jordan, sewage sludge is mostly temporarily stored on the site of sewage treatment plants and, after partial drying, improperly dumped on household waste landfills. In addition to the danger of pollutants and germs seeping into the groundwater, this leaves considerable potential for energy generation and associated, urgently needed cost reductions untapped. Energy-optimised and environmentally sound sewage sludge treatment also contributes to greenhouse gas reduction. The FC module aims to reduce the enormous energy-related cost pressure on the funded sewage treatment plants by introducing innovative technologies for sewage sludge treatment and the energetic use of the biogas obtained. By reducing greenhouse gases, the project contributes to Jordan's nationally determined climate contributions and is thus in line with the strategic objectives of the German government. German FC has financed the first biogas plant in Jordan (Wadi Shalalla), which is a model project for the entire Middle East region. The Jordanian government is very interested in the nationwide implementation of further biogas plants. The project also builds on the experience gained in the FC module "Climate Protection Programme in the Wastewater Sector".

Finanzierung von Lehrergehältern für die Unterrichtung von syrischen Flüchtlingskindern in Jordanien III. Mittelamerika hat eine Landfläche von rd. 522.000 km2. In den sieben Länder der Region lebten 2017 fast 48 Millionen Menschen. Der Anteil der ländlichen Bevölkerung ist hoch und wird auf annähernd 40 % geschätzt. In der Region leben 65 indigene Völker, welche insgesamt etwas mehr als ein Fünftel der Gesamtbevölkerung repräsentieren. Fast die Hälfte der Bevölkerung (47 %) lebt in Armut  nahezu ein Fünftel (18 %) in extremer Armut. In ländlichen Regionen liegt der Anteil Armer sogar bei 56 %. Für seinen Lebensunterhalt ist dieser Teil der Bevölkerung in ganz besonderem Maße von dem in der Region noch vorhandenen Naturkapital abhängig. ŒDer hohe Grad an Armut in der Region steht im Gegensatz zu ihrer Ausstattung mit natürlichen Ressourcen. Zentralamerika zählt als Bestandteil von Mesoamerika zu den weltweit 36 von Conservation International (CI) definierten Biodiversitäts-"hot spots". In der Region ist ein Anteil von zwölf % der weltweit vorhandenen Artenvielfalt beheimatet. ŒUm ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten, sind die Menschen in ländlichen Gebieten der Region v.a. Ökosystemleistungen angewiesen. Allerdings wird das Angebot dieser Leistungen immer weiter eingeschränkt, da die Ausweitung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion zu einem zunehmenden Verlust insbesondere der Waldbedeckung führt und eine Fragmentierung der Landschaften zur Folge hat. Ähnliches gilt für die Übernutzung der marinen Ressourcen und deren Auswirkungen auf die marinen Ökosysteme. Dabei sind die negativen Auswirkungen der Expansion von Landwirtschaft und Fischerei zum größeren Teil von einer kommerziellen Nutzung im industriellen Ausmaß verursacht  gleichzeitig aber drängt die vorherrschende Armut auch die Zielgruppe zu einer unangepassten, nicht nachhaltigen Nutzung. Zusammenfassend lässt sich feststellen, dass die zunehmende Verschlechterung, Zersplitterung und Zerstörung von wichtigen Ökosystemen in Schutzgebieten und ihren verbindenden Zonen wie Biokorridoren (Landschaften) die Lebensgrundlage vieler überwiegend armer Menschen und den Fortbestand der Artenvielfalt bedroht. ŒFür das des Vorhabens sind deshalb fünf Landschaften priorisiert worden: Golf von Honduras und dessen Einzugsgebiet  Restbestände des pazifischen Mangrovengürtels,Teile der sog. Miskitia von Honduras und Nicaragua, Karibikküste um die Mündung des Río San Juan in Nicaragua und Costa Rica, Cordillera de Talamanca und die Cordillera Central in Costa Rica und Panamá mit Teilen der angrenzenden Karibikküste. Dort soll die Managementeffektivität von 19 Schutzgebieten in verbessert, Maßnahmen zur Restaurierung der ökolögischen Integrität und Wiederherstellung der Konnektivität der fünf Landschaften finanziert und eine Verwaltungsstruktur für die fünf Landschaften etabliert werden. ŒDas Vorhaben wird auf Wunsch des Sistema de Integración Centroamericana von IUCN durchgeführt. Es ist beabsichtigt, auf einer Fläche von insgesamt über 37.000 km2 für rd.1,4 Mio. Menschen den Zugang zu Ökosystemleistungen zu verbessern und die Biodiversität besser zu schützen. Für eine erste Phase sind fast 27 Mio. EUR vorgesehen, davon werden 18,9 Mio. EUR vom BMZ bereitgestellt.

Young people thus have few opportunities for economic participation and employment, while the private sector suffers from a shortage of qualified employees. ŒThis measure represents the second phase if a very closely interlinked first phase (see 37524) of the overall concept 'HTUplus'. ŒThe aim of HTUplus is to increase the attractiveness of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and thus to contribute to a mind-shift among younger population in Jordan, where an academic career is considered as the preferable path to strive for. Œ ŒPhase I foresees i) construction and equipment of a new TVET campus under the umbrella of the Al Hussein Technical University (HTU) in Amman, and ii) rehabilitate, upgrade and provide modernized training courses in selected areas of the public vocational institutes in Irbid for their long-term integration into the HTUplus model. Œ ŒPhase II (consisting of 40425 and 40322) is intended to provide further support to the project partner HTU as lighthouse of labormarket-oriented TVET and in acting as driver of change, reforming the TVET sector in Jordan. Under Phase II, the concept of HTUplus is to be extended to additional 5 TVET institutes, geographically located all across Jordan.

Trinkwasserversorgung und Abwasserentsorgung für syrische Flüchtlinge und aufnehmende Gemeinden VIII. Beim Mesoamerikanischen Riff (Sistema Arrecifal Mesoamericano - SAM) handelt es sich um das weltweit größte grenzüberschreitende Korallenriff, das sich in einem globalen Biodiversitätshotspot befindet. Neben ökologischen Funktionen wie dem Schutz vor Naturgewalten, dient das SAM auch als Aufzucht- und Rückzugsgebiet für Meeresbewohner, sowie als Nahrungsgrundlage für Meereslebewesen, und CO2-Speicher. Zudem trägt es zur Ernährungssicherung, und wirtschaftlichen Grundlage (Fischerei, Tourismus) vieler im Gebiet lebender Menschen bei. Die ökologischen Funktionen der wichtigen Ökosysteme wie Mangrovenwälder, Korallenriffe und Seegraswiesen im SAM werden jedoch zunehmend stark beeinträchtigt. Œ ŒZum Schutz und Erhalt der ökologischen Funktionen des SAM haben die vier Staaten mit Anteil am Mesoamerikanischen Riff (Mexiko, Belize, Guatemala und Honduras) aktuell rd. 70 Küsten- und Meeresschutzgebiete mit einer Fläche von ca. 8,8 Mio. ha ausgewiesen. Die Unterschutzstellung von knapp 20% der Fläche des SAM, gemeinsam mit der Ausweisung weiterer terrestrischer Schutzgebiete in den vier Ländern, ging bislang jedoch nicht mit den notwendigen staatlichen Budgeterhöhungen zur Finanzierung der Gebiete einher. Œ ŒDas Ziel des Moduls "Schutz von Meeresressourcen in Zentralamerika III" ist daher der Erhalt und die nachhaltige Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen in und im Umfeld von ausgewählten Küsten- und Meeresschutzgebieten des SAM. Die Mittel der dritten Phase des Projektes werden für Schutzmaßnahmen und Maßnahmen zur nachhaltigen Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen in mind. 18 Schutzgebieten in der Projektregion verwendet, die im Rahmen von Ideenwettbewerben ausgewählt werden. Wie bei den beiden Vorgängervorhaben ist Vertragspartner und Empfänger der Mittel der Meso-American Reef Fund (MAR Fund).

Climate Protection in the Water Sector: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies V (DKTI). The King Abdallah Canal (KAC) carries water from the northern to the southern Jordan Valley, which is used for both drinking water supply and irrigation purposes. The advanced age and poor condition of the KAC, as well as unauthorized abstractions, contribute to significant water losses along the canal, while at the same time water in Jordan is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive new resources, mainly through the energy-intensive desalination of seawater and brackish water, must be developed to meet the country's water needs in the medium term. Œ ŒAgainst this background the project supports the rehabilitation of the northern section of the KAC over its full length (65km) and the procurement of complementary equipment for operation and maintenance.

Quality Infrastructure for Efficient Water Management. Jordan is one of the countries with the highest water scarcity. Water losses in Jordan's water supply are estimated at about 50%, and are believed to be equally technical (e.g., due to defective pipes) and commercial (e.g., incorrect metering of consumption). Given the country's extreme water scarcity, these losses contribute to the fact that water supply to the population, which has grown rapidly in recent years (10.5 million people plus 770,000 registered Syrian refugees), is not sustainable and can only be provided intermittently in large parts of the country.
The project aims to help establish new services at QI institutions and improve collaboration between the QI and the water sector. In addition, capacities of water sector institutions to measure consumption will be enhanced to make water management efficient and resource protective. These are fundamental for the social and economic development and the water access of the population.
To this end, the flow measurement services offered by the Jordan National Metrology Institute will be enhanced. The cooperation between the QI institutions and the institutions of the water sector (ministry, authority, as well as water supply utilities) will be expanded in order to increase the capacities of the water sector in the field of water flow measurement. For this purpose, the project mainly relies on workshops and trainings. In addition, technical equipment is being procured for relevant fields of application.
The target group of the project is the population of Jordan, including Syrian refugees.
The project works primarily in Jordan's capital Amman, where most of the actors are located, while water companies outside Amman (Yarmouk, Aqaba) are also involved in the project processes.  The institutions of the Jordanian water sector (Ministry for Water and Irrigation and water utilities) make use of new quality infrastructure services.

SME Fund for nature conservation-related private investments, Phase II. The Region of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity. The main drivers of degradation include land use changes, water pollution and unsustainable forms of fishing and nature tourism. Political and private decision-makers have been calling for the transformation of our economic system towards a "green economy" for several years.

ILO Jordan, Employment Intense Investment Program V. The project addresses the problem that both Jordanians and Syrian refugees in Jordan hardly find work and thus have no income opportunities. The project also focuses on the problem of very complex work permit processes for Syrians through close coordination with other donors (CfW Working Group) and a dialogue with the Ministry of Labor (MoL). The objective of the FC project is to create short-term employment opportunities for Syrian refugees and Jordanians and to facilitate access to the labor market for the target group in the medium term. The project is the fifth phase of the project and can therefore build on successes already achieved (e.g. capacity strengthening in the administrations of the participating municipalities, successes in facilitating work permit issuance through MoL). This fifth phase of the project will focus on labor-intensive road rehabilitation activities and small rehabilitation works in host communities. Furthermore, various accompanying measures and trainings for Syrians and Jordanians are planned. The participation rate of 50% refugees in all activities of the project is also intended to promote social cohesion. The measures will be carried out in continuation of the previous phases of the program in the governorates of Amman, Irbid, Mafraq and Zarqa and will be complemented by the governorate of Karak, which also hosts a relatively high proportion of Syrian refugees and has high vulnerability rates. The target group is Syrian refugees as well as vulnerable Jordanians in Jordan. As in previous phases, the project is being implemented with the International Labor Organization.

Education Financing for Employment. The project is intended to make a direct contribution to improving the attractiveness and relevance of vocational training and the interfaces to school and university training in Jordan, as well as its relevance to the labor market. ŒAs part of the project, a state-wide financing facility is to be established which, by granting student loans, will enable talented and ambitious young people with limited financial resources to complete selected recognized training courses and (short-term) training courses in promising areas and to promote their employability. On the one hand, on the basis of appropriate selection mechanisms and cooperation structures between the funding program and reputable TVET providers and growth companies, needs-based educational offers are to be identified that are assessed as qualifying by the private sector and enable formal employment with sufficient income. At the same time, talented, motivated young people who need financial support for admission to one of the preselected training measures are to be identified and selected. ŒThese should strive to take up formal employment and at the same time commit to repaying the funds provided in the form of a time-based percentage of future salary. In the course of and after completing their qualification measure, the beneficiaries are to be supported by a wide range of non-financial services. Œ ŒThe Jordanian Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) will be responsible for this. The CPF will delegate implementation responsibility to a fund management unit which, as a 100% subsidiary of the CPF and a legally independent, non-profit company, is institutionally located directly below the CPF.  It is the goal of the measure to contribute to the provision of demand-oriented financing instruments for talented youth in Jordaen to enable them to enter into a high-quality TVET education measure. The measure will put a specific focus on supporting women.

climate protection in the water sector - energy efficiency and renewable energies VI. The King Abdallah Canal (KAC) carries water from the northern to the southern Jordan Valley, which is used for both drinking water supply and irrigation purposes. The advanced age and poor condition of the KAC, as well as unauthorized abstractions, contribute to significant water losses along the canal, while at the same time water in Jordan is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive new resources, mainly through the energy-intensive desalination of seawater and brackish water, must be developed to meet the country's water needs in the medium term. Œ ŒAgainst this background the project supports the rehabilitation of the northern section of the KAC over its full length (65km) and the procurement of complementary equipment for operation and maintenance. A parallel investment project of the European Investment Bank, on the other hand, focuses on the southern section of the KAC. Œ ŒThe objective of the FC project is to reduce water losses and to increase the amount of drinking water available for Irbid and Amman. This shall reduce the need for the costly and energy-intensive use of alternative resources and contribute to adaptation to climate change by protecting Jordan's scarce water resources. Œ ŒThe target group is, on the one hand, the population in the greater areas of Amman and Irbid, who benefit from a secure water supply. On the other hand, the public water utilities as well as the Water Authority Jordan (WAJ) benefit, since due to the additional water quantities from the KAC they can cover the drinking water supply more cost-effectively overall and require less desalinated water.

Support to the Jordanian Education Sector - School Construction. The aim of the project is to improve equal access and quality of primary and secondary education in public schools in Jordan. Access to education in underserved regions will be improved through the construction and equipment of approx. 20 new schools, as well as expansions of existing schools by approx. 100 additional classrooms. Alternatively, overloaded schools in double-shift operation, run-down schools, as well as rented school buildings unsuitable for school operation will be replaced. In total, new modern premises with a capacity for about 18,000 students can be created. School locations are determined during project implementation based on socio-economic and technical criteria. ŒTo achieve these goals, the German Federal Government is providing a concessional loan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The main executing agencies for the Programme's implementation are the Jordanian Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, under whose direction the construction measures are being carried out. An accompanying measure strengthens the technical capacities required for this purpose, particularly within the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, with regard to compliance with international quality standards in school construction (e.g. design planning, construction standards, environment & social standards, tendering procedures).

Promotion of civil society lobbying and networking and alternative development narratives in Brazil and Latin America. Promotion of civil society lobbying and networking and alternative development narratives in Brazil and Latin America  In Brazil, the prevailing development model is still strongly based on the production and export of raw materials. Social and environmental challenges are insufficiently addressed and exacerbated by asymmetric international trade relations. The project therefore aims to increase the visibility of this problem, expose corporate greenwashing strategies and disseminate alternative narratives. This is to be achieved, among other things, through lobbying measures and public relations work. The target group consists mainly of political decision-makers.

Greenfield Advans MFB. Through this Financial Cooperation project, KfW is participating in the microfinance institution (MFI) established in 2012 and based in Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria, as well as in the pro-rata financing of the personnel support (PU) required for the successful establishment of the business. ŒMicro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), hardly receive loans from commercial banks. Private households rarely have access to financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). The sector approach with focus on microfinance in Nigeria aims to improve the sustainable supply of and access to needs-based financial services. The target groups of the project are primarily MSMEs and the Nigerian population. To this end, Financial Cooperation's activities in recent years have been designed in such a way that the individual measures interlock at several levels. This project enables rural and urban MSMEs and private households to gain sustainable access to financial products and to make the necessary investments to be able to trade economically: Since MSMEs often operate in a labor-intensive manner, positive effects can be expected for the households of the entrepreneurs themselves, but also for their employees and their families. In addition, access to needs-based financial products increases the target group's room for maneuver in order to be able to respond to extraordinary burdens. ŒThe project thus contributes to the global Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda such as No.1 No poverty, No. 5 Gender equality, No. 8 Decent work and economic growth, No. 10 Reduce inequalities and No. 17 Partnerships to achieve the goals.

Promotion of AB Microfinance Bank Nigeria (Fiduciary equity participation). The overall performance of the Nigerian financial sector is inadequate to provide sufficient target group-appropriate financial services to the general population and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The majority of the population in Nigeria is excluded from formal banking services and MSMEs do not have adequate access to credit. As a result, growth- and employment-enhancing investments often cannot be made. This represents a serious obstacle to Nigeria's overall economic development. ŒThe aim of the project is to provide loans and other financial services to the target group of MSMEs in an efficient, needs-based and sustainable manner. ŒTo achieve the objective, the project includes a participation in AB Microfinance Bank Nigeria to strengthen the equity base so that the range of sustainable financial services for Nigerian MSMEs can be expanded.

Another important field of action is informing decision-makers in relevant institutions about quality infrastructure services and improving their understanding of the relevance of these services. Furthermore, awareness of quality aspects and quality assurance services amongst practitioners in the PV sector will be raised.
The project partner at the political level is the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and the implementation partner is the Directorate General for New and Renewable Energy (EBTKE). Quality infrastructure institutions, such as the National Standardization Agency (BSN), the National Metrology Institute (BSN-SNSU) and the PV module testing laboratory BPPT-B2TKE, as well as BAPPENAS, private sector associations and the national energy provider (PLN) are considered key partners for the successful implementation of the project.

To address its growing environmental and climate challenges, the Indonesian government has set ambitious targets in the so-called “Green Medium-Term National Development Plan 2020-2024”.

Together with the implementing partner, the National Standards Institute (BSN), the project supports quality infrastructure institutions in building up improved measurement capacities and at the same time, in dialogue with industry and politics, in anchoring these more firmly in practical application.
The aim of the project is to increase the availability and use of quality infrastructure services in the fields of environmental protection and climate monitoring, especially in water and air analysis. The improved measurement capacities provide actors from politics and industry with a solid data basis for achieving national environmental and climate goals.  The availability and use of quality infrastructure services in the areas of environmental protection and climate monitoring, especially in water and air analysis, have increased

Erhalt des Comoé-Nationalparks  Conservation du Parc National de la Comoé. Kernproblem ŒDer Comoé Nationalpark ist mit 11.500 km² der größte Nationalpark Westafrikas. Durch die andauernde politisch- militärische Krise des Landes ist der Park stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen worden: Die Infrastruktur verfiel, die Parküberwachung konnte nicht mehr auf dem erforderlichen Niveau sichergestellt werden, Fauna und Flora wurden durch menschliche Einflüsse empfindlich gestört. Gleichzeitig bleiben die Lebensbedingungen der Menschen im Umfeld des Parks nach wie vor hinter dem Landesdurchschnitt zurück. Œ ŒModulziel ŒZiel der EZ-Maßnahme (Projektziel) ist der Schutz und die nachhaltige Bewahrung des Parks vor zerstörerischer menschlicher Einwirkung in Zusammenarbeit mit der Anrainerbevölkerung und anderen lokalen und regionalen Partnern. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Parkverwaltung wird beim Auf- und Ausbau der zur Parküberwachung erforderlichen Infrastruktur, der Anschaffung der notwendigen Ausrüstung und der Erarbeitung von partizipativen Schutz- und Überwachungsstrategien unterstützt. Darüber hinaus werden Kleinprojekte in der Parkrandzone finanziert und Aufklärungs- und Sensibilisierungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt. Im Zusammenspiel mit Beratungsmaßnahmen der TZ und der langfristigen Finanzierung, die der Park im Rahmen einer 2012 zwischen der Bundesrepublik und der Côte d'Ivoire vereinbarten Schuldenumwandlung über die ivorische Stiftung Fondation pour les Parcs et Réserves en Côte d'Ivoire (FPRCI) erhält, werden so wichtige Voraussetzungen für eine dauerhafte Bewahrung und ein nachhaltiges Management des Parks geschaffen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒIst die Anrainerbevölkerung im Umland des Parks, deren Lebensbedingungen verbessert und die auf diese Weise motiviert wird, ihren Beitrag zur Bewahrung des Parks zu leisten. Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 ŒIm Rahmen des BMZ 2030 Prozesses wurde das Vorhaben dem Kernthema "Schutz unserer Lebensgrundlagen - Umwelt und natürliche Ressourcen" und dort dem Aktionsfeld "Biodiversität" zugeordnet.

Familienplanung und HIV-Prävention Phase V  Planning Familiale et Prévention V. Die Côte d'Ivoire ist seit 1962 Partner der Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Nach jahrelangem Bürgerkrieg ist die Côte d'Ivoire eines der ärmsten Länder der Welt und unter den letzten 20 Ländern beim HDI (Human Development Index). Dies spiegelt sich auch im nationalen Gesundheitssystem, welches insgesamt sehr schwach ist. So sind Komplikationen bei Schwangerschaft und Geburt noch immer die häufigste Todesursache bei Frauen zwischen 15 und 49 Jahren. Der häufig kurze Abstand und die hohe Anzahl von Geburten haben einen direkten Einfluss auf den Gesundheitszustand der Mütter. Weiterhin besteht ein hoher ungedeckter Bedarf an Familienplanung. Ein schlechter Gesundheitszustand der Mütter übersetzt sich auch direkt in eine hohe Kindersterblichkeit, denn im Todes- oder Krankheitsfall der Mutter vermindern sich die Überlebenschancen ihrer Kinder signifikant. Auch in Bezug auf die HIV-Problematik hat das Land mit Herausforderungen zu kämpfen - hier liegt die HIV Prävalenz vor allem in den urbanen Räumen und bei den Frauen deutlich über dem regionalen Durchschnitt. Œ ŒDer Fokus des FZ-Programms liegt auf den Themen Mutter- und Kind-Gesundheit, Sexuelle und Reproduktive Gesundheit und Rechte sowie HIV/AIDS-Prävention. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die sexuell aktive Bevölkerung, mit Fokus auf junge Menschen zwischen 15 und 24 Jahren, insbesondere junge Frauen. Somit soll ein nachhaltiger Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Gesundheitssituation der Bevölkerung geleistet werden. Œ ŒDer vorliegende FZ-Beitrag der Phase V des Programms beläuft sich auf EUR 5 Mio. - zuzüglich Erlöse aus dem Verkauf der Kontrazeptiva - und baut auf die Aktivitäten der Vorläuferphase (IV) auf.

Gesundheitssystemstärkung in Côte d&apos Ivoire  Renforcement du système de la santé en Côte d&apos Ivoire. Das FZ-Vorhaben leistet einen Beitrag zur Stärkung des Gesundheitssystems in der Côte d'Ivoire und trägt zur Verbesserung der Gesundheit von Frauen im reproduktiven Alter und von Neugeborenen bei (Impact). Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, die Nutzung qualitativ verbesserter Gesundheitsdienstleistungen im Bereich der reproduktiven Gesundheit in den Regionen Lôh Djiboua und Haut Sassandra sowie die Nutzung von Kontrazeptiva und Kondomen in diesen Regionen zu steigern. Dies soll durch Rehabilitierung und Ausstattung von Gesundheitseinrichtungen einschließlich Fortbildungsmaßnahmen für Gesundheitspersonal sowie durch eine Verbesserung der Verfügbarkeit von für die Zielgruppe erschwinglicher Kontrazeptiva und Kondome erzielt werden. Übergreifende Informations- und Sensibilisierungsmaßnahmen (IEC) sowie Kommunikation zur Verhaltensänderung (BCC), die auf Familienplanung, HIV-Prävention und Mutter-Kind-Gesundheit ausgerichtet sind, sollen die Nachfrage nach den Gesundheitsdienstleistungen bzw. Kontrazeptiva und Kondomen steigern. In das Vorhaben wurden in Folge der Kanzlerinnenzusage die Verteilung von 251.000 Moskitonetzen integriert. Ebenso wurden Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung des nationalen Covid-Präventionsplans in das Vorhaben integriert (Sensibilisierung sowie Beschaffung von Hygiene- und Schutzmaterial). Œ ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens sind Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter - insbesondere Schwangere - und Neugeborene. Darüber hinaus werden durch die Kommunikationsaktivitäten Jugendliche, als besonders vulnerable Gruppe, und Männer, als Entscheidungsträger, angesprochen. Die investitionsbegleitenden Fortbildungen richten sich an Gesundheits- und Verwaltungspersonal in den beiden Hauptinterventionszonen.

Contribution to rehabilitation and reconstruction after the floods in Sindh, Pakistan. Contribution to rehabilitation and reconstruction after the floods in Sindh, Pakistan  The scale of the disaster caused by climate change is frightening, and rapid relief is needed.  In Pakistan, climate change means that large parts of the country are and will be uninhabitable. Pakistan is already one of the countries most affected by climate change in the world. Yet there is a lack of government prevention and relief programmes. Thus, the population is largely left to fend for itself. The people in the country need international support to cope with the acute emergency and to adapt to a changing climate  .

Regionale Lastverteilzentren für Stromnetzstabilität  Centres de distribution de charge régionaux pour la stabilité du réseau électrique. Das vorgeschlagene Vorhaben sieht den Bau und die digitale Ausstattung dreier regionaler Lastverteilzentren in Abidjan, Bouaké und Man vor. Dies ermöglicht der staatlichen Energiegesellschaft Côte d'Ivoire Énergies (CI-ENERGIES) eine effiziente Netzsteuerung und -Überwachung und erhöht die Reaktionsfähigkeit bei Netzstörungen auf regionaler Ebene. Die zuverlässige Datenerfassung und -übertragung wird im Rahmen des Vorhabens durch den Ausbau fehlender Glasfaserkabel auf bestehenden Leitungen und die digitale Anbindung an die Schaltanlagen gewährleistet. Glasfaserkabel erlauben die Übertragung großer Datenmengen in Lichtgeschwindigkeit, so dass auftretende Störungen im Netzbetrieb schnell genug identifiziert und an die Lastverteilzentren weitergeleitet werden können, die auf die Instabilität im Netz reagieren können. Die verbesserte Netzsteuerung sorgt auch dafür, dass Kraftwerke gleichmäßiger produzieren können und somit der Verschleiß der Schaltgeräte verringert wird, was zu einer erhöhten Effizienz und damit zu Einsparungen von Treibhausgasemissionen führt. Die verbesserte Stromversorgung und die Vermeidung unnötiger Stromabschaltungen kommt letztendlich der Bevölkerung der Côte d'Ivoire zu Gute. Ein verbessertes Investitionsklima im Land sorgt für Produktivitätsgewinne und schafft neue Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten im Privatsektor. Dies schützt vor Versorgungsengpässen sowie Einkommensverlusten und fördert langfristig die soziale und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im Land.

Strengthening Social Protection for Health and Climate Resilience. The devastating flood disaster in Pakistan, triggered in August 2022, hits the poor, and here women and children, particularly hard. Immediate and effective support is therefore urgently needed, as the poor have hardly any financial reserves. ŒThe aim of the project is, on the one hand, to make a rapid contribution for the poor, especially women and children, to cover their basic needs in the context of the flood disaster. On the other hand, the resilience of the poor and vulnerable population is to be strengthened as a preventive measure for upcoming climate extremes. ŒThis is to be achieved by strengthening the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and its capacity to provide poor and vulnerable population groups with adequate social protection, adapted to the frequency of increasing climate risks. The module objective is to be achieved with the following measures: Extension of support to the BISP program to reach flood victims (Unconditional Cash Transfer Payments (UCT) or Conditional Cash Transfer Payments (CCT)  Further development and implementation of the CCT concept under BISP for mothers and children, which will also provide targeted transfer services for certain climate changes or extremes  Further development of the payment system of transfer payments for UCT as well as CCT to the BISP recipients. ŒThe target group of the project are the BISP recipients and thus the poor and vulnerable population in the project region, in particular victims of the flood disaster.

Energie für nachhaltige Entwicklung: Solarkraftwerk für die Côte d&apos Ivoire im Kontext des West African Power Pool (WAPP)  Energy for sustainable development: solar power for Côte d&apos Ivoire in the context of the West African Power (WAPP). Côte d'Ivoire verfügt über sehr hohes natürliches Potenzial für die Nutzung von Solarenergie. Die Anzahl der Sonnenstunden liegt je nach Region zwischen 2.000 und 2.700 Stunden pro Jahr (Vergleich Deutschland: zwischen 1.400 und 1.700 Stunden). Bislang nutzt die Côte d'Ivoire aber nur einen Bruchteil dieses Potenzials. Um den steigenden Energiebedarf der schnell wachsenden Bevölkerung zu bedienen und die Energieerzeugung auf eine nachhaltige und breitere Basis zu stellen, plant die staatliche Energiegesellschaft Côte d'Ivoire Energies (CI-ENERGIES) die Installation einer netzgebundenen Solarkraftanlage mit einer Leistung von 37,5 MWp in Boundiali im Norden des Landes. Das geplante Solarkraftwerk wird mittelfristig einen Beitrag zu einer verlässlichen, kostengünstigen und umweltfreundlichen Energieversorgung in der Côte d'Ivoire leisten und damit langfristig zu wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung und Armutsminderung beitragen. Da der zusätzliche Strom auch sozialen Einrichtungen, wie Krankenhäusern und Schulen zugutekommt, können entsprechende Dienstleistungsangebote verbessert bzw. ausgebaut werden. Auch der Privatsektor profitiert von einer zuverlässigeren und kostengünstigen Stromversorgung für Produktion und Beschäftigung. Das Vorhaben steht im Einklang mit den Reformprioritäten der Côte d'Ivoire, wie der Diversifizierung des Energieportfolios, der Erhöhung des Anteils erneuerbarer Energien am Energiemix sowie nachhaltiger Wirtschaftsentwicklung. Auf regionaler Ebene fördert das Vorhaben die Zusammenarbeit im Stromverbund "West African Power Pool" (WAPP) und unterstützt auf internationaler Ebene die Umsetzung der Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) der Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung. Zudem steht das Vorhaben im Einklang mit der im November 2017 abgeschlossenen Reformpartnerschaft zwischen der Côte d'Ivoire und Deutschland, in deren Rahmen die Zusammenarbeit im Energiesektor, insbesondere mit Blick auf die Förderung erneuerbarer Energien, verstärkt werden soll.

Familienplanung und HIV-Prävention Phase VI  Phase VI de la planification familiale et de la prévention du VIH. Die Côte d'Ivoire ist seit 1962 Partner der Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Nach jahrelangem Bürgerkrieg ist die Côte d'Ivoire eines der ärmsten Länder der Welt und unter den letzten 20 Ländern beim HDI (Human Development Index). Dies spiegelt sich auch im nationalen Gesundheitssystem, welches insgesamt sehr schwach ist. So sind Komplikationen bei Schwangerschaft und Geburt noch immer die häufigste Todesursache bei Frauen zwischen 15 und 49 Jahren. Der häufig kurze Abstand und die hohe Anzahl von Geburten haben einen direkten Einfluss auf den Gesundheitszustand der Mütter. Weiterhin besteht ein hoher ungedeckter Bedarf an Familienplanung. Ein schlechter Gesundheitszustand der Mütter übersetzt sich auch direkt in eine hohe Kindersterblichkeit, denn im Todes- oder Krankheitsfall der Mutter vermindern sich die Überlebenschancen ihrer Kinder signifikant. Auch in Bezug auf die HIV-Problematik hat das Land mit Herausforderungen zu kämpfen - hier liegt die HIV Prävalenz vor allem in den urbanen Räumen und bei den Frauen deutlich über dem regionalen Durchschnitt. Œ ŒDer Fokus des FZ-Programms liegt auf den Themen Mutter- und Kind-Gesundheit, Sexuelle und Reproduktive Gesundheit und Rechte sowie HIV/AIDS-Prävention. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die sexuell aktive Bevölkerung, mit Fokus auf junge Menschen zwischen 15 und 24 Jahren, insbesondere junge Frauen. Somit soll ein nachhaltiger Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Gesundheitssituation der Bevölkerung geleistet werden. Œ ŒDer vorliegende FZ-Beitrag der Phase VI des Programms beläuft sich auf 5 Mio. EUR - zuzüglich Erlöse aus dem Verkauf der Kontrazeptiva - und baut auf die Aktivitäten der Vorläuferphase (V) auf.

Familienplanung und HIV-Prävention IV  Planning Familiale et Prévention VIH/SIDA IV. Jahrelange bewaffnete Konflikte haben in der ehemals wohlhabenden Côte d'Ivoire die Armuts-quote von 10 % (1985) auf über 50 % (2010) stark steigen lassen. Auch das nationale Gesundheitssystem ist sehr schwach, so sind z.B. Komplikationen bei Schwangerschaft und Geburt noch immer die häufigste Todesursache bei Frauen zwischen 15 und 49 Jahren. Der häufig kurze Abstand und die oft hohe Anzahl von Geburten haben einen direkten Einfluss auf den Gesundheitszustand der Mütter. Weiterhin besteht ein hoher ungedeckter Bedarf an Familienplanung. Ein schlechter Gesundheitszustand der Mütter übersetzt sich auch direkt in eine hohe Kindersterblichkeit, denn im Todes- oder Krankheitsfall der Mutter vermindern sich die Überlebenschancen ihrer Kinder signifikant. Auch in Bezug auf die HIV-Problematik hat das Land mit Herausforderungen zu kämpfen - hier liegt die HIV Prävalenz vor allem in den urbanen Räumen und bei den Frauen deutlich über dem regionalen Durchschnitt. Œ ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist es, einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Gesundheit der ivorischen Bevölkerung zu leisten. Dies geschieht vor allem durch die Vermeidung ungewollter Schwangerschaften und die Vergrößerung der Geburtenabstände sowie durch die Verringerung von sexuell übertragenen Infektionen, insbesondere HIV/AIDS. Mit der FZ-Maßnahme soll ein Beitrag zu Veränderungen im Sinne eines gestärkt verantwortungsbewussten Verhaltens bei den Zielgruppen im Bereich der sexuellen und reproduktiven Gesundheit geleistet werden. Dabei legt das Programm einen Fokus auf die selbstbestimmte Familienplanung. Die Programmkomponenten beinhalten Sensibilisierungs- und Aufklärungsmaßnahmen sowie den Vertrieb von subventionierten Produkten der reproduktiven Gesundheit und Kondomen. Zur Erhöhung der Wirksamkeit des Programms wird in der Phase IV über die neu einzuführende Komponente des "Social Franchising" die Intrauterinspirale als zusätzliches Verhütungsmittel zur Verfügung gestellt.

Kernproblem ŒDer grenzüberschreitende ivorisch-liberianische Tai-Grebo-Sapo-Regenwaldkomplex umfasst mit dem Taï-Nationalpark (Côte d'Ivoire), dem Grebo-Forst sowie dem Sapo-Nationalpark (beide in Liberia) die letzten noch weitgehend intakten Regenwaldflächen des westafrikanischen Regenwaldgürtels. Vor dem Hintergrund des beständig steigenden Nutzungsdrucks kann einer Verinselung des Tai-Nationalparks nur durch die zügige Herstellung einer Habitatverbindung zum Grebo-Forst zuvorgekommen werden kann.

Billion Tree Afforestation Support Project (BTASP). Pakistan is one of the countries that is affected the most by the climate change. The province Khyber Pakhtunkwa (KP) with 1.684.000 ha forest area is the most wooded province in Pakistan and of high importance for the climate and the water supply to the whole country. However, the province is affected by immense deforestation, which is mainly due to the use of the forest stand as firewood and illegal lumber trade for the construction industry. Due to the high deforestation in the last decades the livelihood of the poor population of the province KP is at risk. Œ ŒThe FC-module supports the Pakistani government with the sustainability and governance of the government program "Billion Tree Afforestation Program" (BTAP) and its follow-up project 10BTAP through a co-finance. Œ ŒThe objective of the support to the government program is the securing of long term and sustainable protection of local natural resources as well as the generation of additional income sources from forestry and affiliated activities. Through the following central measures the project also contributes significantly to the improvement of the living conditions for the mostly poor rural population: preparation of participatory forest management plans and the improvement of the management information systems of the forest department, co-financing of the 10BATP-measures designated for the target districts as well as strengthening of the capacities of the forest department and its implementing partners. Œ ŒThe target group is the population (around 270.000 people) of around 100 villages in 12 districts in the three forest districts Malakand, Upper & Lower Hazara as well as up to three villages in the Peshawar district in the province KP in Pakistan. The module is designed as an open program which is oriented towards the priorities of the governmental project executing agency, the forest department of the province KP.  The main objective of the FC module is to improve the living conditions of the poor population, particularly including women and young people, in the project target areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkwa (KP). The secondary objective is to improve governance in the KP target districts through direct cooperation with the provincial government and its deconcentrated authorities.

Self-Employment of women in the private health sector (Sitara Baji). The project is based on the concept of "social franchising" for family planning products and services, which is already being implemented successfully (and highly scalable) in Pakistan, giving trained midwives in underserved areas (urban slums, rural areas) the Chance to open their own health station and earn an income. The project aims to build / rehabilitate basic health stations consisting of 2-3 rooms and equip them with medical equipment and furniture. The regular supply of the women entrepreneurs with sales goods such as contraceptives and sanitary items takes place via the distribution network of private Providers that offer wholesale Prices. The operation of the health stations offers women profitable employment in their local environment, with profits which, according to past experience, are well above the salaries they receive under the public health programs. In addition, the provision of family planning services to the local population will be improved. As part of the project, the existing business model will be further developed and expanded in terms of employment promotion.

Promoting Resilience against Natural Disaster Impacts in Pakistan. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and floods repeatedly threaten the lives, livelihoods and infrastructure of Pakistan's population. The consequences of climate change will further aggravate the situation. Due to a lack of spatial planning, the responsible authorities in Disaster Risk Management (DRM) are not able to mitigate these risks. The aim of the project is to develop a guideline and a tool that take geohazards, e.g. the exposure of certain sites to landslides, into account in location decisions. The project brings together the partner National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and other DRM and relevant stakeholders to stimulate an exchange of spatial interests, interdisciplinary communication and data sharing for risk-sensitive spatial planning. Pilots of the tool are planned for KP and Punjab.  The efficiency of disaster risk reduction management (with regard to natural hazards) in Pakistan has improved.

Promoting education in Pakistan. Promoting education in Pakistan  The project is prompted by the extremely poor level of school education in Pakistan, which neither enables people to take up a qualified profession nor to participate as enlightened citizens in the consolidation of democracy in the sense of tolerance and legal awareness. The goal is therefore to equip individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills and values necessary for sustainable personal and social development. Methodological-conceptual teacher training and continuing education as well as the development of transparent school administrations contribute to this.

Cote d&apos Ivoire: Erhalt des Comoé-Nationalparks II  Cote d&apos Ivoire: Conservation du Parc de la Comoé II. Kernproblem ŒDer Comoé Nationalpark ist mit 11.500 km² der größte Nationalpark Westafrikas. Durch die andauernde politisch- militärische Krise des Landes ist der Park stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen worden: Die Infrastruktur verfiel, die Parküberwachung konnte nicht mehr auf dem erforderlichen Niveau sichergestellt werden, Fauna und Flora wurden durch menschliche Einflüsse empfindlich gestört. Gleichzeitig bleiben die Lebensbedingungen der Menschen im Umfeld des Parks nach wie vor hinter dem Landesdurchschnitt zurück. Œ ŒModulziel ŒZiel der EZ-Maßnahme (Projektziel) ist der Schutz und die nachhaltige Bewahrung des Parks vor zerstörerischer menschlicher Einwirkung in Zusammenarbeit mit der Anrainerbevölkerung und anderen lokalen und regionalen Partnern. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDie Parkverwaltung wird beim Auf- und Ausbau der zur Parküberwachung erforderlichen Infrastruktur, der Anschaffung der notwendigen Ausrüstung und der Erarbeitung von partizipativen Schutz- und Überwachungsstrategien unterstützt. Darüber hinaus werden Kleinprojekte in der Parkrandzone finanziert und Aufklärungs- und Sensibilisierungsmaßnahmen durchgeführt. Im Zusammenspiel mit Beratungsmaßnahmen der TZ und der langfristigen Finanzierung, die der Park im Rahmen einer 2012 zwischen der Bundesrepublik und der Côte d'Ivoire vereinbarten Schuldenumwandlung über die ivorische Stiftung Fondation pour les Parcs et Réserves en Côte d'Ivoire (FPRCI) erhält, werden so wichtige Voraussetzungen für eine dauerhafte Bewahrung und ein nachhaltiges Management des Parks geschaffen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒIst die Anrainerbevölkerung im Umland des Parks, deren Lebensbedingungen verbessert und die auf diese Weise motiviert wird, ihren Beitrag zur Bewahrung des Parks zu leisten.

The project aims to expand the capacity of the solar power plant in Boundiali built under the FC project &quot Energy for Sustainable Development: Solar Power Plant for Côte d&apos Ivoire&quot  by up to 45.6 MWp. This is intended to contribute to an efficient, reliable and long-term secure as well as environmentally friendly and climate-friendly power supply to increase the share of renewable energies in the energy mix in Côte d&apos Ivoire. ŒWith a total capacity of approx. 80 MWp, the Boundiali solar power plant would then contribute substantially to the regional expansion targets of the WAPP (West African Power Pool). ŒCôte d&apos Ivoire has very high natural potential for the use of solar energy. Depending on the region, the number of hours of sunshine is between 2,000 and 2,700 hours per year ( Germany in comparison: between 1,400 and 1,700 hours). So far, however, Côte d&apos Ivoire has used only a fraction of this potential. In order to meet the increasing energy needs of the rapidly growing population and to put energy generation on a sustainable and broader basis, the state-owned energy company Côte d&apos Ivoire Energies (CI-ENERGIES) is planning to install a grid-connected solar power plant in Boundiali in the north of the country. In the medium term, the planned solar power plant will contribute to a reliable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy supply in Côte d&apos Ivoire and thus contribute to economic development and poverty reduction in the long term. As the additional electricity will also benefit social institutions such as hospitals and schools, corresponding service offerings can be improved or expanded.

Community-based resilience building in northern Côte d&apos Ivoire. The project "Promoting Resilience in the north of Côte d'Ivoire", which is financed by the Financial Cooperation (FC) is aimed at the communities and the population in the northern parts of the country. Their resilience shall be reinforced by establishing and expanding basic infrastructure (including water supplies, health and educational facilities), accompanied by measures strengthening social cohesion and child protection. ŒUNICEF operates as project Promoter - in Côte d'Ivoire (CIV), UNICEF is represented, alongside its national office, by a regional office in Korhogo and has a well-established structure in the north of the country. ŒThe north of CIV is characterized by considerable deficits in the provision of basic social services (education, health, water and sanitation). The core problem consists in particular of a complex interplay of (1) the tense security situation in the Sahel region and the associated refugee movements, (2) the high proportion of people in poverty, (3) difficult access to basic social services (limited access to education and inadequate water, food and health care), (4) weak economic development, particularly in the target regions of Bounkani (north-east) and Tchologo (north), and in many cases (5) unsecured basic rights for children and young people. At community level, these lead to a compromised social cohesion and a high susceptibility to crises. Among other things, the project aims to provide reliable access to water, sanitation and hygiene services, healthcare, nutrition and education.

Conservation of Ivorian National Parks (Foundation Window FPRCI), Phase II. The loss of nature and biodiversity is a global challenge and robs many people of their livelihoods. The establishment and long-term preservation of local conservation areas is an important measure to create space for the preservation of nature and natural resources. ŒThe project supports this endeavour through the long-term financing of the two national parks Taï and Comoé, which have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are considered a valuable global public good due to their unique biodiversity, as well as the Bossématié and Cavally nature reserves. The aim is to achieve effective park management of the Ivorian protected areas by the Office Ivoirien des Parcs et Réserves (OIPR). ŒTo this end, the project funds are paid into the endowment capital of the Fondation des Parcs et Réserves Ivoriens (FPRCI). The capital assets of the FPRCI are used to generate income. While the foundation's assets are preserved in the long term, the returns generated can be utilised to cover the operating costs of the national parks. This ensures the financial sustainability of the national parks. ŒThe partner of the project is the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, represented by the Ministry of Finance, and the project organiser is the FPRCI Nature Conservation Foundation. The final beneficiary of the programme is the park administration OIPR, which carries out the management of the protected areas in the national parks.  To contribute to the effective and sustainable management of protected areas, and therefore to the conservation of the Comoé and Taï National Parks, as well as the Cavally and Bossématié nature reserves, through regular, long-term funding.

Nachhaltige Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen und Biodiversität  Programa de conservación y uso sostenible de los recursos naturales. Kolumbien ist eines der 17 megabiodiversen Länder der Welt, in denen mehr als 70 % aller Tier- und Pflanzenarten des Planeten beheimatet sind. Mit der Ausweisung von 16,7% seiner Land- und 13,4% seiner Meeresfläche hat Kolumbien bereits erhebliche Anstrengungen zum Schutz der Artenvielfalt unternommen. Die Schutzgebiete stellen bedeutende Ökosystemleistungen, wie Kohlenstoffbindung, bereit. Zudem bilden die natürlichen Ressourcen der Schutzgebiete, insbesondere in den ländlichen Regionen, die Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung. Jedoch bedrohen Formen nicht-nachhaltiger Landnutzung die Schutzkorridore und den Erhalt der Biodiversität. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es daher, das Schutzgebietsmanagement zu konsolidieren und die Konnektivität in prioritären Korridoren sowie den Schutz und die nachhaltige Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen zu verbessern. Das Vorhaben leistet einen Beitrag zum Schutz des globalen Klimas (SDG 13) und zum Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt (SDG 15). ŒDie durchgeführten Maßnahmen werden in priorisierten Schutzgebieten und ihren Pufferzonen umgesetzt. Die Maßnahmen tragen zur Verbesserung der Managementeffektivität in ausgewählten Schutzgebieten bei und fördern die Konnektivität. Zudem werden eine bessere Einbindung und Beteiligung der lokalen Bevölkerung in den Schutz und die nachhaltige Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen unterstützt. ŒDer Empfänger des Zuschusses von bis zu 7 Mio. Euro ist das kolumbianische Umweltministerium. Projektträger ist Parques Nacionales Naturales, die Nationale Schutzgebietsbehörde. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die ländliche Bevölkerung in und im Umfeld der priorisierten Schutzgebiete. Von dem Maßnahmen profitieren zudem die Schutzgebietsverwaltung und die Parkmitarbeiter. ŒDas Interventionsgebiet des Vorhabens umfasst drei ausgewählte Landschaftsmosaike (Cordillera Central, Transición Orinoquía, Piedemonte Andino-Amazónico) mit vier nationalen und sieben regionalen Schutzgebieten.  Colombia es uno de los 17 países megadiversos del mundo, que alberga más del 70% de las especies animales y vegetales del planeta. Con la designación de 16,7% de su superficie terrestre y de 13,4% de su superficie marina, Colombia ya ha realizado importantes esfuerzos para proteger la biodiversidad. Las áreas protegidas proporcionan importantes servicios ecosistémicos, como la captura de carbono. Además, los recursos naturales de las áreas protegidas, especialmente en las zonas rurales, constituyen la base del desarrollo sostenible. El uso insostenible de la tierra amenaza los corredores protegidos y la conservación de la biodiversidad. El objetivo del proyecto consiste en consolidar la gestión de áreas protegidas y mejorar la conectividad en corredores prioritarios como contribución a la protección y el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales. El proyecto contribuye a la protección del clima mundial (ODS 13) y a la conservación de la biodiversidad (ODS 15). ŒLas medidas apoyadas se aplican en las áreas protegidas prioritarias y en sus zonas de amortiguación. Las principales medidas para alcanzar el objetivo del proyecto son promover la gestión efectiva de áreas protegidas y mejorar la conectividad. Además, se apoya la participación de la población local en la protección y el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales. ŒLa receptora de los recursos de hasta 7 millones de euros es el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible. La entidad ejecutora del proyecto es Parques Nacionales Naturales de Colombia. El grupo meta directo es la población rural de las zonas protegidas prioritarias y sus alrededores. La administración de áreas protegidas y el personal del parque también se benefician de las medidas apoyadas.

Results-based Forest Conservation in the Amazon. This is the second phase of the REM Mato Grosso project, which began in 2018. The project's objective is to support the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso in its efforts to reduce deforestation and promote the sustainable use of forests. The project is part of the REDD Early Movers (REM) programme, which, since 2012, has been providing grants as results-based financing for verified emission reductions from avoided deforestation under the UNFCCC REDD+ mechanism. In the first phase, emission reductions of 10 million tCO2e were compensated with the equivalent of EUR 44.3 million. During the second phase, contributions of EUR 15 million from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and GBP 15 million from the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) will be provided to make results-based payments for emission reductions from avoided deforestation for the years 2018 to 2025. Œ ŒThe funds disbursed will be reinvested in four sub-programs within a pre-agreed benefit-sharing system. At least 65% of the funds are intended to generate direct impacts at local level and improve the living conditions of the target group (smallholders, indigenous peoples, collectors, fishermen, traditional communities, medium-sized agricultural enterprises), focusing on the establishment of deforestation-free value chains and low-carbon agriculture. The remaining funds support government measures to control and combat deforestation and forest fires, as well as measures to strengthen the state's REDD+ system. Œ ŒThe political partner of the project is the government of the state of Mato Grosso, represented by its State Secretary of Environment (SEMA). The recipient of the funds is the Brazilian non-governmental organization Fundação Amazônia Sustentável (FAS), which manages and implements the funds in cooperation with the SEMA.

Sustainable climate protection Brazil - mobility. As a result of rapid urbanisation in Brazil, around 87% of the country's population now live in cities. Public transport systems play a key role in determining the level of economic productivity of these cities, the quality of living conditions for residents and their access to jobs and government services. Inadequate public transport systems and services are the cause of rising volumes of motorised private transport, environmental pollution, high greenhouse gas emissions and considerable costs for economic players. It is therefore crucial for Brazil's sustainable development to use scarce energy resources more efficiently and in line with demand by applying adapted forms of technology for local public transport services, thereby simultaneously reducing the impact on the environment and climate. Œ ŒWith an FC development loan of up to EUR 100 million to the Brazilian state development bank BNDES (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social), sustainable urban mobility systems are to be promoted in up to two cities with a population of more than 500,000 inhabitants in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban transport and contribute to climate protection and sustainable urban development.

Energy Efficiency Guarantee Fund. With a grant financing of up to EUR 25 million, the Brazilian development bank BNDES is being supported in the introduction and implementation of a guarantee fund for loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) investing in energy efficiency measures. The objective of the project is to mobilize private sector investment in energy efficiency measures. This can contribute to the achievement of climate protection goals on the one hand, and to securing the economic stability of small and medium-sized enterprises on the other (economic recovery "post-COVID"). The planned total volume of the guarantee fund is about EUR 130 million. This includes an FC grant of up to EUR 25 million (phase 1) and a further FC grant of up to EUR 25 million for a second phase of implementation. Furthermore, BRL 45 million (EUR 8.86 million) will be made available for the guarantee fund from the national program for the promotion of energy efficiency PROCEL. By 2024, BNDES intends to raise an additional USD 75 million (EUR 69.44 million) from the Green Climate Fund for the Guarantee Fund. The project is supported by an accompanying measure with the aim of improving the framework conditions for successful implementation. From a technical point of view, it fits into the existing priority area "Promotion of Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency" of the German cooperation with Brazil as well as into the framework of the "Corona-Sofortprogramm" of the BMZ and thus corresponds to the funding objectives of the German government.

SWAP Wasser Kleinstädte  Syst. AEP Centres Secondaires. Kernproblem ŒDie Unterversorgung der Bevölkerung Malis mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Trinkwasser und die unzureichende Verfügbarkeit sanitärer Einrichtungen stellen zentrale Entwicklungshemmnisse für den malischen Staat dar. Die Bereitstellung von Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung im ländlichen und kleinstädtischen Bereich hat in den letzten Jahren nachgelassen. Ursache hierfür sind mangelnde Kapazitäten und fehlendes Zusammenspiel der dekonzentrierten Strukturen, ausgeprägte regionale Versorgungsdefizite, ein starkes Bevölkerungswachstum kombiniert mit krisenbedingter Binnenmigration sowie ein zwischenzeitiger, ebenfalls krisenbedingter Investitionsstopp. Œ ŒModulziel ŒProgrammziel ist die Sicherstellung einer ganzjährigen Versorgung der in der Programmregion in Klein- und Mittelstädten ansässigen Bevölkerung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Wasser und die Verbesserung ihrer Sanitärsituation.

Ländliches Umweltkataster (CAR) III  Environmental Land Registration (CAR) III. Das Neuvorhaben soll die gesetzlich vorgesehene Registrierung privater ländlicher Grundstücke in ein staatlich geführtes Umweltregister CAR, (Cadastro Ambiental Rural) in den Bundesstaaten Pará, Mato Grosso und Rondônia unterstützen. Œ ŒProjektträger ist das brasilianische Umweltministerium MMA. Als Empfänger der FZ-Mittel ist die staatliche Bank "CAIXA", die bereits in anderen FZ-Vorhaben erfolgreich als Finanzagent agiert hat, vorgesehen. Œ ŒDas Kernproblem ist die mangelnde Implementierung, Überwachung und Durchsetzung des CAR Registers auf über 5 Millionen ländlichen Grundstücken in Brasilien, mit einer Gesamtfläche von mehr als 3 Millionen km2. Die direkten Auswirkungen einer unzureichenden Flächen- und Aktivitätenregistrierung im CAR sind vor allem die Schwierigkeiten der Regierung bei der Überwachung von Flächennutzung und Einhaltung der Gesetze und Umweltplanung, ganz besonders in Hinblick auf Schutz von Wald, biologischer Korridore und Wassereinzugsgebiete. Œ ŒDas übergeordnete entwicklungspolitische Ziel (Oberziel) des Neuvorhabens ist die Erhaltung und Wiederaufforstung von Wäldern und anderer Vegetationsformen in Amazonien und im Cerrado, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Reduzierung der Entwaldung, des Erhalts der Biodiversität und der Verringerung der Emissionen von Treibhausgasen. Das Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme (FZ Modulziel) ist die Implementierung des Umweltregisters CAR in ausgewählten Gebieten Amazoniens und des Übergangsbereichs zum Cerrado, um ländlichen Klein- und Großgrundbesitzern verbesserten Zugang zur umweltrechtlichen Regulierung zu ermöglichen. ŒDie 3.Phase des Vorhabens hat ein Projektvolumen von 10 Mio. EUR. Œ Œ ŒDas FZ-Vorhaben steht in direktem Bezug zu dem Vorhaben der Technischen Zusammenarbeit der GIZ.

REDD Early Movers (REM) Mato Grosso  REDD Early Movers (REM) Mato Grosso. Durch die ergebnisbasierte Finanzierung des REDD Early Mover Programms wird erreichte Entwaldungsreduktion ex-post vergütet. Ziel des Vorhabens sind signifikante Emissionsreduktionen (ER) im brasilianischen Bundesstaat Mato Grosso. Die Mittel i.H.v. 17 Mio. EUR mit 30 Mio. EUR Vorratsprüfung sowie Mandatsmittel des Vereinigten Königreichs (Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Energie und Industriestrategie, BEIS) von bis zu 23,9 Mio. GBP sollen dazu genutzt werden, um ergebnisbasierte Zahlungen für Emissionsreduktionen aus der ver-miedenen Entwaldung zu leisten. Damit trägt es zum Gesamtziel des REDD Early Movers (REM) Programms bei, als REDD-Interimfinanzierung in Übereinstimmung mit UNFCCC Vorgaben durch Walderhalt den Klimaschutz zu befördern. Das neue FZ-Vorhaben soll zudem die Brückenbildung zwischen subnationalen REDD+ Ansätzen hin zu einem integrierten nationalen System unterstützen. Œ ŒNur wenn die jährliche Entwaldung unter dem vereinbarten REM Performance Trigger von 1788 km² (durchschnittliche Bruttoentwaldung im Zeitraum 2004-2015) liegt, werden ergebnisbasierte Zahlungen geleistet. So wird der Anreiz zur weiteren Entwaldungsreduktion erhöht. Modulziel ist über das REM-Programm Emissionsreduktionen (ER) aus der vermiedenen Entwaldung aus den Jahren 2016 bis 2019 ergebnisbasiert zu vergüten, mit einem Zielvolumen von ca. 3,74 Mio. tCO2e (über deutsche Mittel) bzw. 8,94 Mio. tCO2e (einschließlich Mandatsmittel von BEIS). Als Eigenleistung und Risikovorsorge legt Mato Grosso für jede vergütete Tonne CO2e mindestens eine weitere Tonne still, die nicht anderweitig vergütet werden kann. Œ ŒDie Mittel der ergebnisbasierten Finanzierung (EBF) werden innerhalb eines vereinbarten Ver-teilungssystems (Benefit Sharing) reinvestiert und sollen zur Generation vielfältiger positiver Entwicklungswirkungen beitragen. So wird ein Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Unterstützung der im und vom Wald lebenden lokale Bevölkerungsgruppen, inklusive indigene Gruppen, sowie kleiner und mittelgroßer Landbesitzer und damit zur Armutsbekämpfung geleistet. Neben der Unterstützung von indigenen Gemeinden sollen Anreize zu nachhaltiger und emissionsreduzierter Produktion in der kleinbäuerlichen und mittleren Landwirtschaft gesetzt werden. Œ ŒTräger ist die Landesregierung von Mato Grosso, vertreten durch das Landesumweltministe-rium (SEMA). Als Empfänger wird der brasilianische Biodiversitätsfonds FUNBIO vorgeschlagen, der das Vorhaben finanziell und administrativ abwickeln soll. Die Mittel werden gemäß des vereinbarten Benefit Sharing Systems durch Landesministerien und weitere staatliche und nichtstaatliche Organisationen umgesetzt. Das GIZ-Vorhaben zur REM Instrumentenförderung leistet gezielte Unterstützung insbesondere zu REDD+ Safeguards, Partizipation und Governance mit besonderem Fokus auf der Teilhabe der indigenen Bevöl-kerung. Das Vorhaben ist Teil des EZ-Programms "Schutz und Nachhaltige Nutzung des Tropenwaldes Brasilien".

Programmziel ist über das REM-Programm Emissionsreduktionen (ER) aus der vermiedenen Entwaldung im Biom Amazonien aus den Jahren 2015 bis 2019 ergebnisbasiert zu vergüten, mit einem Zielvolumen von ca. 2,2 Mio. tCO2e (über deutsche Mittel) bzw. 5,2 Mio. tCO2e (einschließlich Mandatsmittel von BEIS). Die REM-Mittel werden auf der Basis im Rahmen von vereinbarten Benefit-Sharing Subprogramm reinvestiert, um Waldschutz zu belohnen, nachhaltige Entwicklung zu fördern und Beiträge zu weiterer Entwaldungsminderung zu leisten. Dabei können bis zu 30% für Investitionen in Politikmaßnahmen und operative Umsetzung verwendet werden. Mindestens 70% der Vergütungsmittel sollen im Rahmen des vereinbarten Benefit-Sharing als Investitionen auf lokaler Ebene um-gesetzt werden, sodass sie der Bevölkerung Acres (u.a. auch Indigenen) direkt zugutekommen.

Förderung der beruflichen Bildung  Programme d&apos Investissement dans le Secteur de la Formation Technique et Professionelle. Die berufliche Bildung in Mauretanien hat in den letzten 20 Jahren eine kontinuierliche Ausweitung erfahren. Die Regierung ist bestrebt, das Angebot an beruflicher Bildung landesweit weiter auszudehnen. Die bestehenden Berufsbildungsinstitutionen haben jedoch nur begrenzte Kapazitäten, Fachkräfte in ausreichender Zahl und arbeitsmarktgerechter Qualität aus- und fortzubilden (Kernproblem: Fachkräftemangel). Deswegen müssen Großbetriebe zum Teil selbst ausbilden oder sehen sich gezwungen, auf ausländische Fachkräfte zurückzugreifen, da das benötigte Know-How auf dem heimischen Arbeitsmarkt fehlt. Klein- und mittelständische Unternehmen hingegen haben nicht die finanzielle und organisatorische Kapazität, um in die sehr kostenintensive Qualifikation der Mitarbeiter zu investieren, und sind daher auf die Qualifizierung durch die Berufsschulen angewiesen. Jedoch erfüllen Berufsbildungsinstitutionen die Aufgabe, qualifizierte Fachkräfte für den Arbeitsmarkt in ausreichender Anzahl aus- und fortzubilden und so zu Beschäftigung, Wirtschaftswachstum und Innovationsentwicklung beizutragen, nur unzureichend. Œ ŒDurch das FZ-Vorhaben "Förderung der beruflichen Bildung in Mauretanien" wird der mauretanische Berufsbildungssektor unterstützt. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, die Anzahl der arbeitsmarktrelevant qualifizierten AbsolventInnen in den FZ-unterstützten Berufsschulen zu erhöhen und somit einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensmöglichkeiten der mauretanischen Bevölkerung zu leisten. Zur Erreichung des genannten Ziels wurden im Rahmen des Vorhabens fünf Schulen ausgewählt, welche von Rehabilitierung, Erweiterung, Ausstattung und Performance-Verträgen profitieren.

Fisheries Surveillance, Phase V. Mauritania's coastal zone is one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Its economic exploitation makes an important contribution to Mauritania's national budget. However, the fish population is endangered by overexploitation. In order to make an effective contribution to the long-term conservation of Mauritania's fish resources, German development cooperation is providing support at two levels: Ongoing sector dialogue is used to help shape fisheries policy in the interests of sustainable resource management  at the operational level, FC has been supporting Mauritanian partners for many years in monitoring fishing in the country's Exclusive Economic Zone (area beyond the coast up to an extension of 200 nm). The aim of the FC project is to improve the capacity of the Mauritanian Coast Guards in charge of fishereies surveillance to efficiently monitor and control fishing areas by supplementing and optimising its technical equipment and support the institution through training. Œ  Enable the Mauritanien Coast Guards to monitor and control fishing activities more efficiently and effectively, particularly in the coastal reproduction zones, by supplementing and optimizing the existing fisheries control system.

Environmental policy, resource protection: fisheries monitoring V. Mauritania's coastal zone is one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Their economic exploitation makes an important contribution to Mauritania's national budget. However, the fish population is endangered by overexploitation. The Mauritanian government faces a dilemma between the pressure to achieve short-term economic success and economic contributions and, on the other hand, to secure the natural resource base in this central sector in the long term. On the one hand, the excessive allocation of fishing licenses can lead to the overexploitation of fish resources. On the other hand, compliance with fishing methods and zones should be consistently monitored as part of a modern management system. Um in diesem Spannungsfeld einen wirksamen Beitrag zum langfristigen Erhalt der Fischressourcen Mauretaniens zu leisten, setzt die Unterstützung durch die deutsche EZ auf zwei Ebenen an: Über kontinuierlichen Sektordialog wird die Fischereipolitik im Sinne nachhaltiger Ressourcenbewirtschaftung mitgestaltet  auf operativer Ebene unterstützt die FZ die mauretanischen Partner seit vielen Jahren bei der Überwachung des Fischfangs in der Ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszone des Landes (Gebiet jenseits der Küste bis zu einer Erstreckung von 200 sm). Ziel des FZ-Vorhabens ist es, die Fischereiüberwachungsbehörde durch Ergänzung und Optimierung ihrer technischen Ausstattung und Trainingsmaßnahmen immer besser zu befähigen, die Überwachung und Kontrolle von küstennahen Fisch-Reproduktionsgebieten, aber auch von Fanggebieten auf hoher See effizient durchzuführen. Œ  The overall objective of the development cooperation program is to contribute to the protection and sustainable management of Mauritania's fisheries resources. The objective of this phase is to enable the GCM coast guard to monitor and control fishing activities more effectively and efficiently by expanding the existing fisheries monitoring system and through accompanying targeted training measures.

Program for the sustainable fisheries management. The aim of the investment measure is to permanently establish the two key institutions in fisheries management, the coast guards (Garde Côtes Mauritanienne, GCM) and the oceanographic research institute (Institut Mauritanien de Recherches Océanographiques et de Pêches, IMROP) at the Tours Bleues site in Nouadhibou (""Complexe Opérationnel et Scientifique des Tours Bleues"" - COS for short) and to provide them with the infrastructure they need to carry out their scientific and sovereign tasks. With its estimates of fish stocks and the derivation of sustainable maximum catches, the oceanographic institute provides the basis for the creation of management plans by the Ministry of Fisheries MPEM and the monitoring of stocks. The coast guards in turn register the catches according to fish species and quantity and monitor compliance with the license agreements. It also combats illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing activities. ŒActivities: Œ- Component 1: Construction of the ""Complexe Opérationnel et Scientifique des Tours Bleues (COS)"" in the south of the city of Nouadhibou. The complex will cover an area of approx. 20 ha and will mainly comprise the administrative buildings of the two institutions, the IMROP laboratories and a conference center.

Modernization of the artisanal fishing port of Nouadhibou. The FC project ""Modernization of the small-scale fishing port of Nouadhibou (""Modernization du Port des Pêches Artisanales de Nouadhibou"") provides for the construction of an auction and refrigeration hall, 680 storage sheds, a sewage network and asphalted roads of approx. 7 km in length as well as an enclosure wall for the fishing port (investment measure). ŒThe overarching developmental objective of the project is to make a positive contribution to resource conservation, employment and food security in Mauritania's fisheries sector (overall objective). By modernizing the small-scale fishing port in Nouadhibou, the project aims to increase the availability of high-quality fish for human consumption in Mauritania and to contribute to improving the income of the population working in the fisheries sector (project objective). ŒThe project executing agency is the responsible Mauritanian fishing port, the Etablissement Portuaire de la Baie du Repos (EPBR), which is subordinate to the Nouadhibou free trade zone. The project's target group is Mauritanian consumers, whose access to high-quality and affordable fish will be improved by reducing losses during landing, handling and marketing. In addition, fishermen, traders and fish processing workers will benefit from new employment and income opportunities created by the development and optimization of existing value chains.

Support of the mining sector in Mauretania. Metallic minerals such as iron ore account for a large proportion of Mauritania's export earnings and a significant portion of its gross domestic product. However, the strong focus on exporting iron ore has repeatedly led to significant economic and social problems in the past due to the volatility of commodity prices on the world market. Non-metallic raw materials in particular offer great potential for greater diversification of the mining sector and the development of local value creation. The project therefore focuses on the exploration of non-metallic minerals in order to contribute to the development of domestic value creation and the diversification of the mining sector. The objective of the project is therefore that the private sector is using the information provided by ANARPAM to make investment decisions in Mauritania's mining sector. The focus is on the economic-geological evaluation of deposits of non-metallic minerals. In addition, ANARPAM as a partner will continue to be supported in database management and digital interpretation of data, and will be advised on quality management of laboratory analysis. The target group of the project is the population of Mauritania.  The private sector uses the information provided by the OMRG for investment decisions in Mauritania's mining sector.

Accompanying measure BACoMaB. The coastal region of Mauritania is one of the richest areas in the world for fish. In addition, more than 2.5 million birds spend the winter months in the country's largest coastal protected area alone, the Banc d'Arguin National Park. Other protected areas such as the Diawling or Chat T'Boul form important ecosystems which, taken together, are of global significance. The aim of the project is to ensure the efficient and sustainable management of the protected areas to preserve biodiversity (and in particular the economically important fish resources ) on the Mauritanian coast in the long term. In this context, the environmental fund "Banc d'Arguin, and Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Trust Fund Limited" (BACoMaB) is being supported in order to ensure the long-term financing of the operating costs of coastal and marine protected areas in Mauritania. As part of the complementary measure, the fund is now to be strengthened institutionally in various areas in order to improve its functioning and performance. The two marine protected areas (MPAs) PNBA and PND are also to benefit from advisory services as part of the project.

Das FZ-Vorhaben weist ein Finanzierungsvolumen in Form von zinsverbilligten Entwicklungskrediten von bis zu 110 Mio. EUR auf und ist als offenes Programm aufgebaut. Es zielt darauf ab, Wasserversorgungsunternehmen (WVU) mittels Investitionen zu unterstützen, Treibhausgasemissionen bei der Abwasserentsorgung einzusparen (Hauptziel) und zu einer umweltgerechten Abwasserentsorgung beizutragen (Nebenziel). Das offene Programm beinhaltet ein FZ-Vorhaben EMBASA und voraussichtlich ein FZ-Vorhaben mit einem anderen WVU. Ein Vertragsabschluss der Hauptmaßnahme ist für 2019 mit dem WVU EMBASA geplant. Œ ŒEMBASA plant ein FZ-Vorhaben mit einem Finanzierungsvolumen von bis zu 60 Mio. EUR. Dabei soll die aktuell schlecht funktionierende Abwasserentsorgung in den Städten Camaçari und Dias d'Avila (Metropolitanregion von Salvador) neu strukturiert und aufgebaut werden. Hauptinvestitionskomponenten bilden die Abwassersammlung (Anschlüsse, Abwasserkontrollschächte, Anbindung an das Kanalnetz), der Abwassertransport zu einer Kläranlage (Netze, Sammler, Hebestationen) sowie die eigentliche Behandlung auf einer Kläranlage mit entsprechender Biogasnutzung und umweltgerechter Schlammentsorgung. Œ ŒDie PU-Maßnahme adressiert 3 Schwerpunkte, die mit ihren Aktivitäten zur Erreichung des Modulziels der Hauptmaßnahme beitragen.

Serengeti Ecosystem Development and Conservation Project (SEDCP). Tanzania's protected areas are of global importance for biodiversity and contribute about 10% to Tanzania's GDP. In particular, well-known ecosystems such as the Serengeti National Park play a central role. However, the local population's involvement in the management of natural resources as well as the realized benefits are still inadequate. The two bordering districts of Serengeti and Ngorongoro therefore generally have a worse socio-economic infrastructure than the average of Tanzania. As a result, identification with conservation efforts is still low. Poachers are supported and herds of livestock encroach into the park. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of the local population and to integrate them into the management of the natural resources. Therefore, the project will also contribute to the protection of the Serengeti ecosystem. Key components include investments in the socio-economic infrastructure of the districts, the rehabilitation of the rural road network, the development of wildlife management areas and the strengthening of the Serengeti National Park Administration. The primary target group is the population in the two districts Serengeti and Ngorongoro. KfW's share of the total costs of EUR 24 million amounts to EUR 20.5 million. The Frankfurt Zoological Society will contribute EUR 1.0 million to the financing and support the project executing agency Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) in implementing measures for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. The partner contribution of TANAPA and the target groups is estimated at EUR 2.5 million. Œ ŒAn increase of project funds by EUR 9 million was signed in early 2024. Among further infrastructure measures, additional livelihood support measures in the Ngorongoro district will be financed Œ  Tanzania's protected areas are of global importance for biodiversity and contribute about 10% to Tanzania's GDP. In particular, well-known ecosystems such as the Serengeti National Park play a central role. However, the local population's involvement in the management of natural resources as well as the realized benefits are still inadequate. The two bordering districts of Serengeti and Ngorongoro therefore generally have a worse socio-economic infrastructure than the average of Tanzania. As a result, identification with conservation efforts is still low. Poachers are supported and herds of livestock encroach into the park. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is to improve the living conditions of the local population and to integrate them into the management of the natural resources. Therefore, the project will also contribute to the protection of the Serengeti ecosystem. Key components include investments in the socio-economic infrastructure of the districts, the rehabilitation of the rural road network, the development of wildlife management areas and the strengthening of the Serengeti National Park Administration. The primary target group is the population in the two districts Serengeti and Ngorongoro. KfW's share of the total costs of EUR 24 million amounts to EUR 20.5 million.

Der Fonds soll dazu beitragen, die in der Nationalen Klimawandelpolitik festgelegten Emissionsminderungsziele, die eine Reduzierung der jährlichen Entwaldung in Amazonien um 80 % zwischen 2005 und 2020 vorsehen, umzusetzen. Hierzu wirbt der Fonds finanzielle Beiträge ein und setzt diese für Projekte u. a. in den Themenfeldern Schutzgebiete, nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung, Umweltkontrolle und Landtitulierung ein. Begünstigte sind Bevölkerungsgruppen, die Nutzen aus dem Tropenwalderhalt ziehen, darunter Indigene, traditionelle Bevölkerungsgruppen und Kleinbauern. Œ ŒMit dem Fonds wird ein innovativer Mechanismus für umweltbasierte Transferzahlungen aus den Industrieländern an Heimatländer global bedeutender Umweltressourcen etabliert und ein Beitrag zu einem globalen umweltpolitischen Prozess geleistet, der zu einer angemessenen Lastenverteilung von Umweltkosten und -nutzen führen soll. Norwegen hat bislang einen Beitrag von USD 1,0 Mrd. an die BNDES ausgezahlt sowie Mittel in Höhe von USD 600 Mio. in Aussicht gestellt.

Office du Niger - Bewässerung N&apos Débougou IV in Mali  Office du Niger - Irrigation N&apos Débougou IV au Mali. Kernproblem ŒDie derzeit vorhandenen Bewässerungsflächen im Gebiet des Office du Niger (ON) in Zentralmali reichen noch nicht aus, um der dort stark wachsenden Bevölkerung eine ausreichende Lebensgrundlage zu bieten. Während die Nachfrage nach bewässerten Flächen weiterhin stark steigt, hat sich die durchschnittliche Betriebsgröße der kleinbäuerlichen Betriebe über die Jahre von idealerweise 3 ha auf ca. 1,6 ha verkleinert, was einen nachhaltigen und rentablen Betrieb erschwert. Infolgedessen ist die landwirtschaftliche Produktion großer Teile der Bevölkerung in der Projektregion nicht ausreichend, um deren Ernährungssicherung und ein ausreichendes Einkommen sowie die Zahlung der Wassergebühren und damit den nachhaltigen Betrieb der Bewässerungsinfrastruktur durch das Office du Niger gewährleisten zu können. Œ ŒModulziel ŒDie landwirtschaftliche Produktivität von Kleinbäuerinnen und Kleinbauern ist durch Sanierung und Ausweitung von Be- und Entwässerungsinfrastruktur im Gebiet des Office du Niger (Zone N'Débougou) verbessert.

Alors que la demande de terres irriguées continue de croître fortement, la taille moyenne des petites exploitations agricoles a diminué au fil des ans, passant de 3 ha idéalement à environ 1,6 ha, ce qui rend difficile une exploitation durable et rentable. En conséquence, la production agricole d'une grande partie de la population de la région du projet n'est pas suffisante pour pouvoir garantir leur sécurité alimentaire et un revenu suffisant ainsi que le paiement des taxes sur l'eau et donc l'exploitation durable des infrastructures d'irrigation par l'Office du Niger. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒLa productivité agricole des petits paysans est améliorée par la réhabilitation et l'extension des infrastructures d'irrigation et de drainage dans la zone de l'Office du Niger (zone N'Débougou).

Programm kleinstädtische Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung (VPT 1)  Programme d&apos Alimentation en Eau Potable et Mesures d&apos Assainissement dans les centres semi-urbains et ruraux - PAEPMA II. Kernproblem ŒDie Unterversorgung der Bevölkerung Malis mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Trinkwasser und die unzureichende Verfügbarkeit sanitärer Einrichtungen stellen zentrale Entwicklungshemmnisse für den malischen Staat dar. Die Bereitstellung von Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung im ländlichen und kleinstädtischen Bereich hat in den letzten Jahren nachgelassen. Ursache hierfür sind mangelnde Kapazitäten und fehlendes Zusammenspiel der dekonzentrierten Strukturen, ausgeprägte regionale Versorgungsdefizite, ein starkes Bevölkerungswachstum kombiniert mit krisenbedingter Binnenmigration sowie ein zwischenzeitiger, ebenfalls krisenbedingter Investitionsstopp. Œ ŒModulziel ŒDas Vorhaben soll den Zugang der armen, ländlichen und kleinstädtischen Bevölkerung in Mali zu hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser und angemessener Sanitärversorgung verbessern. Ziel ist die nachhaltige Sicherstellung einer ganzjährigen Versorgung der in der Programmregion in Klein- und Mittelstädten ansässigen Bevölkerung mit hygienisch einwandfreiem Wasser und angemessenen Sanitäranlagen. ŒZiel ist es, bis 2015 eine nationale Wasserversorgungsrate von 82% herzustellen und bis 2025 den globalen Zugang zu Wasserversorgung in Mali zu ermöglichen. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒDas Vorhaben umfasst ein Bohrprogramm, den Neubau und die Rehabilitierung von Wasserversorgungssystemen, die Einrichtung von Basissanitärlösungen sowie Begleitmaßnahmen, Informations- und Sensibilisierungs-Maßnahmen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒZielgruppe ist die Bevölkerung von Klein- und Mittelstädten mit einer Einwohnerzahl zwischen 2.000 und 30.000 insbesondere in den malischen Regionen Kayes und Koulikoro.

Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒLe projet vise à améliorer l'accès de la population pauvre, rurale et des petites villes du Mali à de l'eau potable hygiéniquement saine et à un assainissement adéquat.

Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings. As part of the FC measure "Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings", the energy rehabilitation of schools in Serbia is to be promoted. There is a strong need for investment in the outdated school infrastructure, which is in serious need of repair due to a lack of maintenance. Most of the buildings are in a poor condition, especially from an energy point of view. Therefore, energy-saving measures on the building façades of about 30 schools are to be financed, heating systems are to be renewed if necessary, and general renovation work is to be carried out to a limited extent. Œ ŒThe objectives of the FC measure are to improve energy efficiency and the teaching and learning conditions in the participating schools (outcome). The overall development objective is to contribute to the sustainable economic development of Serbia and to local environmental and global climate protection (impact). The target group of the FC measure are the pupils and teachers of the participating schools. Œ ŒThe FC measure is financed through an FC development loan (low-interest loan) to the Republic of Serbia represented by the Ministry of Finance in the amount of EUR 15 million. The loan is secured by the German federal government's guarantee framework for subsidised loans. In addition, a counterpart contribution by the municipalities of the participating schools is planned, which is expected to be in the range of EUR 1 - 2 million. In addition, EU grant funds in the amount of 2 million euros are available from the Western Balkan Investment Framework (WBIF) to finance a necessary accompanying measure.  As part of the FC measure "Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings", the energy rehabilitation of schools in Serbia is to be promoted. There is a strong need for investment in the outdated school infrastructure, which is in serious need of repair due to a lack of maintenance. Most of the buildings are in a poor condition, especially from an energy point of view. Therefore, energy-saving measures on the building façades of about 30 schools are to be financed, heating systems are to be renewed if necessary, and general renovation work is to be carried out to a limited extent. Œ ŒThe objectives of the FC measure are to improve energy efficiency and the teaching and learning conditions in the participating schools (outcome). The overall development objective is to contribute to the sustainable economic development of Serbia and to local environmental and global climate protection (impact). The target group of the FC measure are the pupils and teachers of the participating schools. Œ ŒThe FC measure is financed through an FC development loan (low-interest loan) to the Republic of Serbia represented by the Ministry of Finance in the amount of EUR 15 million. The loan is secured by the German federal government's guarantee framework for subsidised loans. In addition, a counterpart contribution by the municipalities of the participating schools is planned, which is expected to be in the range of EUR 1 - 2 million. In addition, EU grant funds in the amount of 2 million euros are available from the Western Balkan Investment Framework (WBIF) to finance a necessary accompanying measure.

Supporting the national quality infrastructure. The Palestinian territories (PSE) are classified as middle-income countries with medium human development. As a result of the Paris Protocol (1994), there is a de facto tariff union between Israel and PSE with Israel exercising full control over the movement of goods and services. The implementation of the national quality policy adopted in 2014 contributes to the two-state solution negotiated by Germany and provides particularly for the development and implementation of legally binding technical regulations that have not yet been drawn up in accordance with international practices. In addition, the quality assurance services offered in the field of metrology and testing do not meet national needs neither in number nor in quality and thus constitute a central bottleneck for the development of the Palestinian economy and for joining the WTO. The project advises and supports quality infrastructure institutions in expanding and improving these essential elements and their institutional network. Within the framework of the programme “Sustainable Economic Development, Employment Promotion and Education in Palestine” the project aims to expand quality assurance services in accordance with international good practices. The Ministry of National Economy is the lead executing agency. The target groups benefiting from the project outcome are primarily companies from industry, production and trade, consumers and the public sector. Key activities to achieve this objective include the establishment of a central, independent working unit for technical regulations, the introduction and improvement of quality assurance services for companies and the use of a demand-oriented capacity development fund.  Quality assurance services are expanded according to international good
practices

UNDP Palestinian Territory, Investment Programme for Resilience (IPR - COVID-19 response). Against the backdrop of the Middle East conflict, the people of the Palestinian Territories are suffering from a protracted crisis, including growing unemployment, limited access to resources, geographic fragmentation, and severe restrictions on the movement of people and goods due to the Israeli occupation and blockade of Gaza.

Local Government COVID-19 Response. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on communities in the Palestinian Territories. Economic activities are now even more restricted than before, which also further increases the unemployment. The income of Palestinian municipalities is declining, so that the running costs cannot be covered and basic municipal services cannot be adequately provided. The objective of the project is to provide rapid and effective support to municipalities in creating short-term employment opportunities through labour-intensive municipal measures, maintaining municipal services and building resilience to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a very constructive and successful cooperation with the project executing agency "Municipal Development and Lending Fund (MDLF)" for years. Within the framework of the already ongoing MDP III municipal development programme, a special "COVID-19 Response Component" was set up, through which the COVID-19 emergency programme can be implemented very quickly. In total, about 3.7 million citizens of the current 154 Palestinian municipalities, which account for about 75% of the total Palestinian population, can benefit from the provided funds.  The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on communities in the Palestinian Territories. Economic activities are now even more restricted than before, which also further increases the unemployment. The income of Palestinian municipalities is declining, so that the running costs cannot be covered and basic municipal services cannot be adequately provided. The objective of the project is to provide rapid and effective support to municipalities in creating short-term employment opportunities through labour-intensive municipal measures, maintaining municipal services and building resilience to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a very constructive and successful cooperation with the project executing agency "Municipal Development and Lending Fund (MDLF)" for years.

MDLF X - Municipal Development Programme. The program focuses on municipal development in the Palestinian Territories. Its overarching objective is to enhance the effectiveness of public services by strengthening the institutional capacities of local administrative units in the Palestinian territories. The activities brought together under the program are divided into two areas: (i) the MDP IV and (ii) the Area C component. The first component involves the co-financing of a follow-up phase of the national Palestinian Municipal Development Program (MDP). The aim of the MDP is to strengthen the institutional capacities of the municipalities (Municipalities) in the West Bank and Gaza for more sustainable service delivery with improved accountability. It combines the financing of municipal investments in the Palestinian A and B areas with reform incentives for citizen-oriented and transparent governance as well as measures to strengthen municipal administrations. ŒThe second component is intended to co-finance the implementation of infrastructure measures in Area C building on the EU's master plan approach. The project measures based on the master plans should also contribute to improving public services in the selected localities.

Multi-Sectorial Investment Programme (MIP) PHASE III Gaza. The supply gap for electrical energy in Gaza amounts to around 75% and affects the operation of critical infrastructure as well as the living standard in Gaza. In addition, adequate water supply is a key problem in Gaza, for which one approach is the use of desalination plants. However, the operation of the small-volume, northern desalination plant (NSTLV) in Gaza requires a continuous supply of stable electricity (24/7), which the power grid currently does not provide. The project promotes the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, thus, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Further, energy independence in Gaza will be increased and energy sources diversified. An alternative power supply concept (solar power) for the NSTLV in Gaza will increase the reliability of the drinking water supply and reduce operating costs of the desalination plant. The goal of the project is to support a more reliable, efficient, and climate-friendly operation of public infrastructure in Gaza. Two PV plants with a total of up to 18 MWP will be installed, and training measures will be carried out. The project will be implemented with the project executing agency PENRA, the Palestinian Energy Authority, and in cooperation with GEDCO (energy supplier in Gaza) and PWA, the Palestinian Water Authority. The target group is, in a broader sense, the population in Gaza who will benefit from an improved energy supply, as well as around 250,000 people who will profit from an improved drinking water supply from the desalination plant.

Promotion of Employment. The aim of the project is to improve the employment and income situation in the Palestinian Territories. In the short term, economic relief is to be achieved for beneficiaries, their families and the Palestinian economy. In the long term, opportunities for medium and long-term employment should be created that will last beyond the end of the project. The individual project interventions include the development and successful application of wage subsidies to secure and generate jobs in the private sector, supported by accompanying training measures for beneficiaries. A total of around 2,000 people will find employment in this way, 60% of whom should be women. The target group are primarily unemployed Palestinians or those threatened by unemployment (graduates and workers) and, above all, particularly vulnerable groups, such as young people and women, who are severely affected by unemployment and loss of income. A particular priority is the promotion of employment in especially vulnerable parts of the Palestinian Territories (Gaza Strip).

UNRWA Housing rehabilitation in Gaza. With its approximately 2 million inhabitants, the Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Around 1.4 million people (approx. 70% of the population) have been living in the Gaza Strip as UNRWA-registered refugees for more than 70 years. Their living situation is characterized by the ongoing conflict situation, which repeatedly escalates violently - most recently in May 2021 and August 2022 - and the land, sea and air blockade imposed by Israel that has lasted for 16 years. In addition to the recurring escalations, the socio-economic crisis situation that has persisted for years has had an impact on the living conditions of many residents of the Gaza Strip. In view of increasing poverty, population growth, rising costs for maintenance/repairs and a simultaneous shortage of living space, the already precarious housing conditions of many Palestine refugees have deteriorated dramatically since 2014. The rehabilitation of so called "substandard shelters" has therefore become a priority to support vulnerable families to improve their immediate living conditions. Œ ŒThe target group of the project are vulnerable Palestinian refugees in precarious living conditions in the Gaza Strip. Families are prioritized according to their housing situation (technical/structural criteria) and based on multidimensional vulnerability criteria. In this first phase of the project, around 220 of the neediest families will be supported to comprehensively rehabilitate their residential units. Works are implemented independently by the beneficiaries ("self-help approach") or their self-selected construction companies and craftsmen with financial support and close monitoring by UNRWA.

Le problème central dans la menace qui pèse sur la biodiversité des parties libériennes est l'absence de statut de protection d'importantes surfaces de forêt tropicale, la menace d'enclavement des zones protégées qui en découle, parallèlement à des capacités insuffisantes des acteurs responsables de la conservation des zones protégées et à l'absence de coopération transfrontalière avec les autorités de protection de la nature du pays voisin, la Côte d'Ivoire. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒAméliorer les conditions de conservation des zones protégées dans la partie libérienne du complexe de la forêt tropicale de Tai Grebo Sapo et de la biodiversité.

Promoting the circular economy via Quality Infrastructure. Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved success in their economic and social development in recent decades. However, economic growth has so far been associated with high energy and resource consumption. To solve these challenges in the long term, the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy is required. In this context, the contributions of the different components of the quality infrastructure are an important prerequisite for the development of methods to determine environmental impacts reliably and comparably and to increase resource efficiency. 
The project contributes to the adaptation of existing quality infrastructure services and the development of new ones. Furthermore, the project contributes to a stronger networking of actors, both within the different areas of the quality infrastructure and with the actors of the circular economy. The overall objective here is to strengthen the quality infrastructure for the circular economy sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Key measures to achieve the goal are divided into three main areas of action: Strengthening relevant technical competencies at quality infrastructure institutions, promoting cooperation among the regional organizations SIM, COPANT and IAAC regarding circular economy, and raising awareness among circular economy stakeholders on the benefits of quality infrastructure. 
The partners of the project are the regional organization of quality infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean: The Inter-American Metrology System (SIM), the Pan-American Standards Commission (COPANT), and the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC). The political sponsor of the project is the Organization of American States (OAS). The work of the project takes place both virtually and in the region in the member countries of SIM, COPANT and IAAC.  The quality infrastructure for the circular economy is strengthened in Latin America and the Caribbean

Liberia Reconstruction Trust Fund VI (VPT1). The LRTF has three primary development objectives: a) improving the enabling environment to increase economic growth  b) allowing increased access to basic services  and c) building government capacity to plan and manage development projects. Poor roads, a decaying port, non-functional water and sanitation facilities, a lack of agriculture-related infrastructure, and non-existent power supply structures leave Liberia in a poor position to achieve broad-based economic growth and to increase popular access to basic services, such as health and education. By pooling donor funds (to date USD 218 million  main donors EU, Germany, Sweden, UK) to allow financing of large projects, this fund will contribute towards improving Liberia's devastated basic infrastructure (e,g. roads, ports, water and sanitation facilities, power supply structures, and more), thereby promoting economic growth (agriculture-based and otherwise) and facilitating the Government's efforts to ensure service delivery to the population at large, contributing to improving the population's living conditions (programme objective). The fund would also promote capacity development, both within Government and the private sector. Private sector development would result naturally from the increased opportunities available to contractors, while Government's capacity would increase as a result of Government participation in project planning and execution.

Strengthening Drought Resilience in Ethiopia&apos s Lowlands. The German - Ethiopian Financial Cooperation Project is being co-financed by the German Government through KfW with up to EUR 15 million. The project area is the Afar region in Ethiopia's lowlands. Traditionally, the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists living in this area are well adopted to the harsh climatic conditions. However, increasingly frequent and prolonged droughts, exceptional rainfall events in combination with increasing pressure from a growing population and land use changes lead to degradation of plant cover, overgrazing, increased erosion and loss of fertile soil. In view of these circumstances, the project area is characterized by a high vulnerability to natural disasters and climatic changes (e.g. floods, extreme droughts, locust invasions). Especially the prevailing traditional system of semi-nomadic livestock farming is coming under pressure. The pastoralists' traditional access to important water and land resources is becoming increasingly difficult, and each drought exacerbates the situation of this fragile ecosystem and weakens the livelihoods of the people, becoming more and more vulnerable to food and feed shortages. In order to counteract such developments, the project invests in measures to strengthening the drought resilience of the pastoral and agro-pastoral population in the project area. The measures will be selected in close cooperation with the beneficiaries. It is expected to strengthen the production system of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists as well as to diversify their income base. Thereby, the project contributes to improving the adaptation of the population to climate change and natural disasters and to a more sustainable use of the limited valuable natural resources.

Contribute to avoid a lost generation - Education Development Fund III (Phase 4). To help alleviate the greatest need for vulnerable groups in Zimbabwe, especially children, and to strengthen the structural basis of schools in Zimbabwe to better deal with crises caused, for example, by El Niño phenomena, €10 million will be made available through the UNICEF-managed Education Development Fund (EDF) for Zimbabwe. These measures complement already ongoing activities amounting to EUR 54 million. ŒThe current EDF II (2016 - 2021) offers an established platform for the rapid and effective implementation of the measures, particularly through the application-based "School Improvement Grants" component. In this component, schools have the opportunity to provide for and apply for measures to improve school structures within the framework of school development plans, also in order to better prepare for crises and external shocks such as drought or hunger. ŒIn particular, the funds earmarked are intended to provide the opportunity to implement long-term, structure-building measures. This primarily involves resilience-building measures, such as the construction of wells and water pipes for a secure water supply, the improvement of hygienic conditions via WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) and the provision of Emergency School Improvement Grants (SIGs) for schools. ŒThe EDF includes a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) component in its current phase, which aims to strengthen national risk reduction structures, e.g. by further developing disaster risk mitigation strategies at school system level, developing a national DRR strategy. To strengthen resilience, psycho-social support (PSS) will also be increasingly promoted in the future, e.g. through training for teachers, the integration of PSS measures into the curriculum and also PSS for teachers (Caring-for-the-Carer) and students.

To strengthen resilience, psycho-social support (PSS) will also be increasingly promoted in the future, e.g. through training for teachers, the integration of PSS measures into the curriculum and also PSS for teachers (Caring-for-the-Carer) and students.

Renewable energies and energy efficiency II. The initiative is part of the Reform and Investment Partnership with Ghana. It is part of the DC programme "Responsibility for our Planet: Climate and Energy" and the FC programme "Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency". Two projects are running under this initiative: Government Goes Solar and Accra-Kumasi Transmission Line. ŒGovernment Goes Solar involves the installation of distributed grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems (rooftop systems, carports and possibly ground-mounted systems) for up to 36 public institutions (Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs) with an estimated total generation capacity of 22 MWp. The high solar potential in Ghana is still untapped, but high debt and liquidity problems of state institutions in the energy sector hinder the expansion of renewable energy (RE). 50% of the sector's arrears are due to unpaid electricity bills from MDAs. The project objective is therefore that PV systems contribute to meeting the electricity needs of selected MDAs in Ghana in a climate-friendly and cost-effective manner. In this way, CO2 emissions are to be saved and the MDAs' expenditure on electricity bills reduced.  The initiative is part of the Reform and Investment Partnership with Ghana.

Support for Technical and Vocational Education and Training III. The project "Promotion of Vocational Training in Ghana, Phase III" is part of the German-Ghanaian EZ priority area "Training and Sustainable Growth for Good Jobs". The aim of the project is to establish a "Centre of Excellence for Green Technologies" at the Kumasi Technical Institute, Ghana. The FZ module also aims to improve access for Ghanaian youth and skilled workers to demand-oriented and high-quality education and training opportunities in occupational fields relevant to a "green economy". ŒAn FZ contribution of EUR 5 million (grant) is available for the construction of the necessary building infrastructure and the equipment and installation of workshops and classrooms. ŒThe Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) is the project executing agency. Œ ŒBackground: the state vocational training system is currently unable to train skilled workers to the extent and quality required by the labour market. The youth population entering the Ghanaian labour market largely possesses only very inadequate labour market-relevant skills. The insufficient involvement of the private sector in government vocational education and training inhibits companies' access to skilled workers trained on the basis of their needs. As a result, this inhibits innovation and growth of Ghanaian enterprises, and thus their potential to contribute to inclusive economic growth. ŒThe immediate target group of the FZ module are female and male youth and professionals from different social strata and with different educational qualifications.

Performance Oriented Public Financial Management, Ghana Audit Service. In order to sustainably stabilize the macroeconomic situation in Ghana, measures for the efficient use of funds, improved transparency and accountability as well as a reduction in corruption are necessary. The Ghana Audit Service plays a key role here: it is responsible for auditing the financial management of all public institutions. ŒThe objective of the FC project is therefore to improve the control of accountability by strengthening the regional structure of the Ghana Audit Service. To achieve this objective, FC funds amounting to EUR 11.5 million are to be made available for the establishment of a total of 12 regional and district offices at strategically relevant locations. The investment measure will strengthen the independence of the Court of Audit, which is currently housed at the decentralized level in the offices of the institutions it is supposed to audit. This will strengthen the coverage of the decentralized institutions by Court of Audit reports.

In addition, the project contributes to greater efficiency and transparency in the Ghanaian banking and financial sector. ŒFor this purpose, debt financing in the form of a subordinated loan from trust funds totalling EUR 46.5 million is to be provided directly to DBG.

Promotion of vocational training IV. The programme "Promotion of Vocational Training in Ghana" is part of the German-Ghanaian EZ priority area "Sustainable Economic Development". It addresses the existing weaknesses in the vocational training system, which contribute to the fact that small and micro enterprises from the informal sector enjoy only very limited financial and economic participation. The aim of the project is to improve access to needs-based vocational training with the goal of decent employment. The target group is owners, apprentices and workers of small and micro enterprises in the informal sector who have not yet had access to formal vocational training. ŒThe project-executing agency Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (C-TVET) hands out the FZ-subsidised training vouchers for practice-oriented short courses to the target group. The vouchers can only be redeemed at private and public training institutes that comply with the quality criteria defined in cooperation with the professional associations. The project is complementary to the TZ programme, which aims to improve the framework conditions for competence-oriented education and training measures, advising, among others, C-TVET on the implementation of quality assurance mechanisms in vocational education and training. ŒThe impacts of the programme extend beyond the immediate target group to the entire vocational education sector. For example, dual training and the Competency Based Training (CBT) approach are being introduced for the first time in Ghana for the informal sector. The project promotes competition between the existing 650 training providers on the basis of the criterion of quality/market justice. Incentives are provided for training providers to adapt the quality and quantity of their training offers to the needs of the enterprises.

Sustainable Transfortmation of the energy sector. The poor condition of Ghana's power transmission grid negatively impacts the efficiency of the country's energy sector. In the medium term, electricity supply will become increasingly unreliable and black outs more frequent. Especially urban hubs in the country's South like Accra and Kumasi already suffer from the effects of overburdened power supply lines. Without any investments into the grid infrastructure, those effects are further going to be exacerbated in the near future. ŒSimultaneously, the Renewable Energy Master Plan aims at substantially increasing the country's electricity generation capacity from renewable sources. A decentralized generation, altered electricity flows, increased electrification, as well as a naturally intensified electricity generation variability require a stable and robust grid infrastructure. Hence, the construction of the 330 kV transmission line is a necessary pre-condition for the successful implementation of the Renewable Energy Master Plan. It further contributes to an efficient, sustainable, and climate-friendly electricity supply, as well as to an increased grid stability and consequently to the country's sustainable economic development. ŒPrivate households, public institutions, as well as companies are directly going to benefit from an improved and more reliable power supply. The project will be implemented in cooperation with GRIDCo as the main project executing agency.

GHA Floating Solar. Solar energy is playing an increasingly important role in the Ghanaian energy sector. However, in addition to the many advantages of traditional land-based solar PV systems, there are also a number of challenges, in particular high land consumption and power generation that fluctuates greatly depending on the weather and time of day. Floating solar systems, in which the solar panels are installed on water surfaces, are an innovative solution to these challenges. This not only reduces additional land consumption, but also offers the advantage, particularly in combination with existing hydropower plants, of enabling a consistent power supply relatively independent of the weather or time of day. Solar and hydropower can thus be used in a complementary way. By utilising existing infrastructure to collect electricity at these locations, the costs and time required for the projects can also be significantly reduced. The target group here are current and future electricity consumers in Ghana, who benefit from a more reliable and cost-effective electricity supply. ŒFloating solar systems are therefore an innovative solution for utilising solar energy efficiently and thereby driving forward the expansion of renewable energies in Ghana (key message). On the one hand, this reduces the country's dependence on oil imports and, on the other, makes a significant contribution to achieving climate targets by reducing greenhouse gases and implementing climate change adaptation measures. ŒIn the context of the reform and investment partnership, innovative approaches in the field of renewable energies are to be promoted. The promotion of a floating solar project as an innovative approach with the project organiser Volta River Authority (VRA) therefore fits in very well with the objectives of the reform and investment partnership. ŒPlanned measures: Œ- Construction of a floating solar plant (30 MW) Œ- Implementation of accompanying gender measures Œ- 2 years of operational support  Solar energy is playing an increasingly important role in the Ghanaian energy sector.

Maternity Hospital Galle. The project covers the new construction of the maternal hospital "Mahamodara Maternity Hospital" in Galle that was damaged by the devastating tsunami in 2004. The new maternity hospital will be located further inland and in close distance to the general hospital Galle. The project was initiated by the private Helmut Kohl Maternity Hospital Galle Foundation (HKMHGF) in 2006 but came to a halt in 2008 as financial resources of the foundation turned out to be too small for the realization of the project. Œ ŒThe Mahamodara Maternity Hospital in Galle in the south province of Sri Lanka is a teaching hospital and a reference center for obstetrics and gynecology with a target population of about three million individuals. At the present, 12.000 births are attended annually at the hospital. Besides the treatment of complicated cases due to the specialized character of the hospital and general medical care services during pregnancy, the hospital performs education and training services as well as monitoring of hospitals on a lower reference level. Overall, the project aims to restore sufficient natal care services and seeks to improve the health infrastructure as well as the health situation of people living in the south province of Sri Lanka. Œ ŒThe construction of the pile foundation and the concrete plate was financed by the Helmut Kohl Maternity Hospital Galle Foundation. The funds of the financial cooperation amounting to 41 million Euro (interest-subsidized loan in two loan tranches) will therefore exclusively finance further construction measures, the monitoring of the construction measures as well as essential medical and non-medical equipment for the hospital.

Stabilisation of the Economy by supporting the Energy Sector Reform. The reform project focuses on two main areas. The first one is the establishment of a functioning electricity market in Georgia "based on the EU model. ŒThe second one is the promotion of energy efficiency, with the building sector in particular playing a key role, accounting for around 40% of energy consumption and around one-third of CO2 emissions. The core problem is a post-Soviet organized electricity market with intransparency, cross-subsidization, central price setting and resulting inefficiencies as well as massive deficits in energy efficiency, especially in buildings. Both lead to inefficiencies in energy and monetary terms as well as an increasingly high energy dependence on neighboring countries, which poses a risk to Georgia's energy security and thus to its overall economic development. Through the implementation of the energy sector reform based on the EU model, an efficient electricity market has been established and energy efficiency in buildings has been improved. The target group of the project is the population of Georgia. They benefit from the increase in efficiency in the energy sector and the country's energy independence, which are promoted by the political reforms in the energy sector, as well as from the resulting economic stabilization. The beneficiary is the Republic of Georgia represented by the Ministry of Finance. The project executing agency is the Ministry of Finance of Georgia. The first phase of the program was launched in 2018. Currently, the fifth of a total of six phases is being implemented. In the first four phases, EUR 564 million of PBL loans were provided by KfW/AFD for the program. With the current fifth phase, another EUR 27 million of FC financing is being provided. The funds are disbursed annually after the fulfillment of specific reform measures, which are agreed in advance for each program phase in an annual trigger matrix.

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. Within the framework of the G20 Africa Partnership, Germany and Ghana aim to deepen cooperation in the field of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) promotion, which should contribute to achieving the goals set under the Compact with Africa (CwA) (promotion of private investment, renewable energy, and employment and vocational training). The CwA is an initiative launched under the German G20 Presidency in 2017 with selected countries in Africa, with the aim of improving the framework conditions for private investment in these countries. The rationale behind this is that state resources and public development funds alone will not be sufficient to offer employment prospects to Africa's rapidly growing young population and thus alleviate migration pressure. The German government is flanking the G20 CwA initiative with so-called "reform partnerships" (or "investment partnerships") with substantial funding commitments at the bilateral level. So far, selected "reform champions" are Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and Tunisia. The reform partnerships also fit into the BMZ's "Marshall Plan with Africa", which aims to realign cooperation with Africa in order to improve framework conditions for public and private investment on the continent. We estimate the total cost of the FC programme at EUR 135 million (FC loan) and EUR 10 million grant for the complementary measure. FC loan funds of EUR 85 million and FC grant funds of EUR 10 million are available to finance the first phase of the reform partnership. ŒThe recipient of the entire FC loan and the complementary measure (FC grant) is the Republic of Ghana, represented by the Ministry of Finance.

Establishment of a fit-for-future national metrology institute in Ghana. Currently, companies in Ghana wishing to participate in international trade and seeking internationally recognised certification often had to have their measuring instruments calibrated abroad, which is time-consuming and costly. The project improves the possibilities for compliance with and verification of international quality standards in Ghana for the different economic sectors. In addition, the share of high-quality products on the market is improving and consumer protection is being enhanced. 
The project supports the strategic planning of the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) and promotes the development of its competencies in metrology and calibration. GSA assists with in-depth needs assessment, technical training, and the provision of laboratory equipment, as well as the development of sustainable business plans.
The aim of the project is to enable the National Metrology Institute (NMI) in Ghana to provide relevant services to industry, academia and consumer protection.  From the current time-consuming and cost-intensive traceability of standards abroad, the aim is to successively enable traceability in Ghana and for the region as demand increases.
Key measures to achieve the goal are secondments of staff to advanced national metrology institutes, technical training and consultancy, strategic advice and study tours for management, and equipment procurement. Awareness-raising measures are also carried out for clients.
The target groups are Ghanaian and West African companies, employees of research and scientific institutions, employees of the NMI and consumers of local and regional products.
The political partner of the project is the Ministry of Trade and Industry. Place of implementation is Accra.  The National Metrology Institute (NMI) in Ghana provides relevant services to industry, academia and consumer protection.

Open Programme Energy Sector (Accompanying Measure). The project "Open Program Energy Sector" aims to support the Georgian state in the expansion and valorization of renewable energy generation capacities through investments in the power transmission sector. At the same time, the export capability is to be strengthened and transmission losses minimized through energy efficiency measures in the power grid. In addition, investments of a pilot nature in the field of renewable energies can also be financed under the "Open Program Energy Sector". The overall aim is to further promote Georgia's economic and social development. ŒTo this end, an FC development loan of up to EUR 100 million will be used to finance investments in the Georgian energy sector. The project is designed as an open programme and is intended to enable the Georgian side to set its own priorities for investments in the energy sector within the framework of the agreed sectoral focus themes. ŒThe expansion of transmission capacities through the construction of transmission lines and switchgear is necessary in order to connect the privately financed renewable energy power plants (mainly hydropower) to the power grid in the coming years. ŒThe investment component is to be accompanied by a complementary measure in the amount of EUR 1 million to support the Georgian partners in building further capacities in the energy sector. In particular, the adaptation to EU standards and the harmonization of the electricity markets with Georgia's neighboring countries are relevant in order to promote the regional integration of the electricity grids that has already begun. ŒThe target group of the project are all consumers connected to the grid. As the connection rate in Georgia is almost 100%, both private households and companies will benefit.

Management of Groundwater Resources in Libanon. The "Management of Groundwater Resources" project in Lebanon supports Lebanese efforts to improve water resource management and protection of groundwater resources.  Against the background of the drastically worsening situation in the water sector, among other things due to the political circumstances in the region, the national authorities need to be strengthened in the assessment of the water resources available nationwide in order to ensure a permanent supply of drinking water. The project contributes to an improved balancing of the available and usable groundwater resources, including the consideration of the water quality, in order to enable more effective planning of the water supply infrastructure, the management of the water resources and the water resource protection for the mandated ministries and institutions. As a result, they can better meet the current challenges that arise for the water sector, among other things, from the influx of refugees. Likewise, through geoscientific advice and the provision of geoscientific information, the site selection and decision-making processes and participation measures with those affected and civil society for potentially water-polluting activities such as sewage treatment plants, waste dumps, industrial sites are improved.  The aim of the project is: Selected state water sector institutions have created further prerequisites for a more sustainable use of groundwater resources. The project works with the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) to coordinate overarching sectoral policy issues. The focus is on strengthening the expertise and capacity of the local public water utilities Beirut & Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE) and South Lebanon Water Establishment (SLWE).  Selected governmental water sector institutions have the necessary knowledge for a more sustainable management of groundwater resources.

Palestinians who fled within Lebanon after the camp was destroyed in 2007 shall be able to return to houses that are structurally safe and appropriate to their families' situation. Indirectly, those who have already returned to NBC will also benefit from the continuation of reconstruction, as well as Palestinian refugees from Syria and residents of surrounding camps/settlements which will be less overcrowded. In total, the project will directly benefit at least 173 families in the fourth phase through newly created housing and commercial space, and additional people will benefit from new short- to medium-term jobs in the construction sector. The project also includes a contribution to sustainable water supply and the protection of archaeological sites as part of the construction measures. ŒThe beneficiary and promoter of the project is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The fourth phase comprises a financial contribution of EUR 10 million. The implementation period is 24 months from Q4 2021.

UNICEF Lebanon-Support for the lebanese education programme, TREF, SY 2021/2022 (Phase I). The multiple and deteriorating crises in Lebanon have a negative impact on education supply and demand. The Lebanese government is increasingly unable to provide basic social services such as education to population. At the same time, due to the economic crisis, the cost of education is increasing significantly, leading to negative coping strategies by many families (e.g. deregistration or increased school absence) and hence a reduction of demand for education. Vulnerable Lebanese and non-Lebanese children are particularly affected by these developments. Œ ŒThe project therefore aims to improve personal and economic development opportunities for children in Lebanon. This is to be achieved through improvements in access to and quality of public education. The funds provided will be used to finance tuition fees for Lebanese and non-Lebanese children to formal education in the school year 2021/2022. Œ ŒTo this end, in coordination with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Lebanese Ministry of Education (MEHE), the school fees of vulnerable children (Lebanese and non-Lebanese) will be proportionally financed through this measure. The measure is implemented within the framework of the so-called TREF (Transition and Resilience Education Fund).

Cash for Work for Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon Phase IV. The initial situation of the project is the limited access of Palestinian refugees to basic services and employment opportunities, which is further aggravated by the various crises in Lebanon. The objective of the FC measure is to improve the livelihoods and prospects of Palestinian refugees from Lebanon and Syria. The generation of short-term employment opportunities provides a source of income to cover basic needs such as nutrition, education and health. In addition, the measures are intended to contribute to improving the supply situation and labour market opportunities and to increase the quality of UNRWA infrastructure and services. Œ ŒThe partner and project executing agency is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The project focuses on measures for the employment-intensive rehabilitation of UNRWA infrastructure (schools, vocational schools, health centres and administrative offices) and the improvement of sanitation in 12 Palestinian refugee camps. In addition, two to four-month internships as well as job placement, counselling and training services for youth and young adults are financed. Œ ŒThe jobs created are intended to support poverty reduction, increase purchasing power and reduce the refugees' dependence on humanitarian aid. Phase IV of the Cash-for-Work project presented here pursues similar goals as the previous phases I-III. It is currently assumed that at least 5,000 jobs will be created within the framework of the project.

UNDP Lebanon: employment in rural areas Phase V (VP) - BO NO. The civil war in Syria has caused massive refugee movements to Lebanon. The high influx puts an additional strain on the country's socio-economic situation, which has also been affected by the sovereign financial crisis since 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020. Tensions between refugees and the local population are accordingly high, with competition for employment and earning opportunities in host communities playing a prominent role. Due to the ongoing crisis, there is a high need for investment. Many refugees from Syria as well as the host communities are dependent on support for an unforeseeable period of time. Œ ŒThe objective of the FC measure is therefore to create short- and medium-term income opportunities for refugees from Syria and needy Lebanese. The project focuses on measures for the rehabilitation or construction of irrigation infrastructure (irrigation canals and agricultural storage reservoirs). In addition to the short-term employment opportunities on the construction sites, the efficiency and profitability of agricultural production in the project regions is to be increased, resulting in further employment effects. Œ ŒThe project is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Œ ŒThe costs of this phase amount to EUR 15 million. The FC funds are provided as a grant.

LBN - &quot UNICEF Libanon: WASH IV&quot . Lebanon is caught between multiple crises. As a result of the economic and financial crises and the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lack of employment opportunities for vulnerable Lebanese and non-Lebanese, increasingly leading to social tensions between Lebanese themselves and between them and the refugee population. Furthermore, Lebanon's public water sector was in a desolate state even before the influx of Syrian refugees into vulnerable host communities. The infrastructure was and continues to be in urgent need of rehabilitation and expansion in many communities. Œ ŒThe project aims to improve the living conditions and prospects of vulnerable Lebanese and refugees in host communities in Lebanon by improving the target groups' access to short-term decent employment and by improving water and sanitation infrastructure. The target groups benefiting from the measure are the Lebanese population and the Syrian/ Palestinian refugees in the host communities. Œ ŒThe main measures of the project are the construction and expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure to improve the supply situation and mitigate environmental hazards in socially particularly vulnerable areas. Furthermore, at least 4,000 employment opportunities will be created as part of the labor-intensive implementation of the infrastructure measures. The project is being implemented jointly with UNICEF.  Lebanon is caught between multiple crises.

Réhabilitation du système de santé II. The Central African Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world. For decades, the landlocked country has suffered from numerous violent conflicts and weak state structures. This project addresses the particularly vulnerable health sector and builds on the content of the first phase "Reconstruction of the Health System in CAR". ŒThe aim of the project is to increase the use of qualitatively improved health services by the target group, especially women and children, in the project region. The rehabilitation and equipping of health facilities will be expanded to additional locations in the project area in Phase II. At the same time, support for the 16 facilities selected in Phase I will be continued in order to respond to continuing needs and to safeguard what has been achieved so far.

The EU Trust Fund &quot Bêkou&quot  is financed by the EU and its member countries, as well as other investors if necessary, and aims to support the government of the Central African Republic in ending the political-military crisis and to achieve an improvement in the economic situation of the population. The fund is thus a so-called LRRD programme (&quot linking relief, rehabilitation and development&quot ), which is to be seen as a link between humanitarian emergency aid and classic development aid. Within the framework of a multi-sectoral approach, the fund invests in measures that contribute to the resumption of community functions and the supply of the population with basic services and goods. Particular attention is paid here to restoring peaceful coexistence among the various ethnic and religious population groups, the refugee-related living conditions of many people and the special situation and role of women in the crisis context. The Federal Government is a founding investor in the fund together with France, the Netherlands and the EU. The founding document (founding act) was signed by the Federal Government (BM Gerd Müller) in Florence on 15 July 2014.

The Central African Republic (CAR) is one of the poorest countries in the world, not least because of its history of violent takeovers. The education system in particular is suffering from the consequences of the political-military crisis that has been going on since 2013, and learning opportunities for children and young people are severely limited. ŒThe aim of the transitional aid measure is therefore to increase the resilience of children in CAR against the risk of dropping out of school, a consequence of the lasting crisis in CAR, and also to improve their access to and use of water and sanitation facilities. The beneficiary and project-executing agency of the measure is the United Nations Children&apos s Fund (UNICEF). The project consists of the integrated components 1) improvement to inclusive educational opportunities, 2) improvement of drinking water and sanitation, and 3) measures to prevent and treat malnutrition. The measures include infrastructure and in-kind contributions as well as further education and awareness-raising measures. The financial contribution amounts to EUR 16 million and the implementation period is 36 months.

African Local Currency Bund Fund (ALCB Fund). The mission of the ALCB Fund is to promote corporate local currency bond markets as a viable source of funding in Africa. The primary activity of the Fund is to make investments in local currency bonds issued by non-sovereign entities in African countries. In this respect, the Fund acts as an anchor investor and aims at mobilizing local investors to invest alongside the Fund. ŒThe Fund's ultimate beneficiaries are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private lower income households, who will benefit from the issuer's improved or expanded capability to provide financial services for, or direct investments in, housing, education, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy and energy efficiency. ŒThe key developmental challenge for African bond markets is to increase deal-flow and capital market experience of issuers, investors and intermediaries. The ALCB Fund offers several interventions. To help bring new deals to market, the ALCB Fund acts as an anchor investor in first-time or innovative bond issuances by local entities. The Fund also provides technical assistance to support bond issuances, which may include reviewing bond documentation to improve documentation standards  supporting public listings to support market transparency  and encouraging credit rating to enhance the credit appraisal standards of the market. ŒThe supported bond issuers are typically financial institutions, corporates in the real economy or "special purpose vehicles" for structured finance transactions. ŒThis mission follows the G20 Action Plan to Support the Development of Local Currency Bond Markets, adopted by the Group under the French Presidency in 2011.

Promotion of Quality Assurance Services for Sustainable Energy. Vietnam is experiencing a strong increase in electricity demand and at the same time it is in the process of an energy transition. Renewable energies have grown enormously due to generous compensation for electricity feed-in tariffs and are expected to be further expanded significantly by 2030. The ambitious expansion plans are indispensable for achieving the national emission reduction targets, but are accompanied by new financial, regulatory and technological challenges. While the energy sector focuses on the quantitative expansion of renewable energy plants, quality and sustainability aspects have received only limited attention so far. For example, the development of quality infrastructure (QI) services and mechanisms has not kept pace with the rapid developments of the renewable energy sector in Vietnam. This leads to risks for ensuring the quality and sustainability of renewable energy systems, especially in the photovoltaic sector, in ecological, social and economic dimensions. 
The project supports the development of quality assurance services in compliance with international good practice and its availability in Vietnam. The aim of the project is to improve the QI for the production and use of renewable energies with a focus on the photovoltaic sector. 
For this purpose, a technical approach with emphasis on the promotion of testing and measurement services and the development of relevant standards is pursued. The use of standards supports the improvement of quality assurance mechanisms as well as the promotion of information exchange and coordination between stakeholders in the sector. 
The project strengthens the actors responsible for quality infrastructure in Vietnam, in particular the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ), in their efforts to offer quality assurance services for a sustainable energy supply and use.  The quality infrastructure required to generate and use renewable energy has been improved with a focus on photovoltaic systems.

Friedliches Zusammenleben und Schaffung sicherer Räume für Jugendliche II  Convivencia y espacios seguros para jóvenes en Honduras. Die CONVIVIR-Vorhaben werden in El Salvador, Guatemala und Honduras umgesetzt. Sie finanzieren Investitionen im öffentlichen Raum in von Gewalt betroffenen Gemeinden und Stadtteilen. Dieser Ansatz zur Schaffung "sicherer Räume" wird mit der Förderung von sozialen und beruflichen Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen verbunden. Darüber hinaus werden die beteiligten Akteure institutionell gestärkt. ŒJugendliche und Anwohner*innen werden in die Auswahl und den Bau der Infrastrukturmaßnahmen sowie in ihre Verwaltung und Instandhaltung einbezogen. Ziel ist es, dass die geschaffenen sicheren Räume unter aktiver gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe von Jugendlichen nachhaltig genutzt werden. Die Maßnahmen leisten einen Beitrag zur Armutsreduzierung sowie zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. ŒZielgruppe des Programms sind Jugendliche beiderlei Geschlechts zwischen 14 und 25 Jahren, die in Stadtteilen mit hohen Gewaltindizes leben und daher besonders von Gewalt und Kriminalität betroffen sind. ŒDarlehensnehmer und Empfänger des CONVIVIR-Vorhabens in Honduras ist die Republik Honduras, vertreten durch das Finanzministerium.

Green Goal - Non-motorized Transportation Program. As part of this FC measure, 3 municipalities across South Africa are to be supported to implement Non-Motorised Transport (NMT) as a cost-effective and safe transport alternative to fuel-based modes of transport. By facilitating improved access to social services and jobs, it is envisaged that the living conditions of the local population will be impacted positively. This benefit will accrue particularly to the poorer sections of South African society who are the primary users of NMT. The development of a sustainable transport infrastructure in South African cities also contributes to global climate change mitigation. The FC measure supports the construction of footpaths, cycle paths, cycle-parking facilities, traffic calming and road safety measures. In addition, increasing economic opportunities for the poor through the creation of small business opportunities (such as bike rental companies), jobs and apprenticeships is another desired benefit of this project. The recipient of the FC subsidy of EUR 5 million (potentially rising to EUR 10 million) is the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA).The project is designed as an open program. Sponsors are select South African municipalities.

Program for Renewable Energy (Small IPP Support Program) - Phase I. The Renewable Energy Program - Small IPP Support Program aims to introduce small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from South Africa to the rapidly growing renewable energy (RE) and, to a lesser extent, energy efficiency (EE) market, thereby sustainably anchoring the growth of the RE and EE market in the local economy. This will be achieved by mobilizing additional private capital to finance small-scale RE and innovative EE projects through the FIRST facility. In addition, the funding of small-scale projects is intended to further increase the use of renewable energy sources in South Africa and thus contribute to the achievement of South Africa's climate targets through CO2 savings (Investment Facility). This is Phase I of the program of the same name (Phase II: BMZ No. 2015 69 169, Phase III: BMZ No. 2018 67 548). In parallel to the Investment Facility, a Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) was launched (BMZ No. 2014 70 459), through which various consulting services can be provided to support project developers, most of whom are inexperienced in the RE and EE sector, in preparing their small-scale RE and EE projects, as well as to reduce the high transaction costs for project appraisal and structuring due to the small-scale nature of the projects.

Protection and legal aid for children and underage refugees and migrants without legal status in South Africa. Protection and legal aid for children and underage refugees and migrants without legal status in South Africa  In South Africa, cases of children from difficult family or living circumstances, or children who do not have legal status, are very complex and lengthy and do not guarantee the welfare of the children. The aim is therefore to provide these children with voluntary representation and accompaniment, ensuring that their cases are closed and that there is follow-up. Beyond the children, the lawyers, mediators, teachers and community leaders are the target group, as they are engaged and trained to adequately accompany these children.

Funding program Green Hydrogen South Africa (financed from funds allocated by the BMWK). On behalf of the German Government, KfW supports the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) in its mandate to promote the market development of a green hydrogen economy in South Africa. KfW aims at supporting catalytic projects that are financed by the IDC to make a significant initial contribution to the market ramp-up of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The project addresses the challenge of sustainably ramping up a green hydrogen economy in South Africa, including the financing of reference plants that are required in the first phase of this market ramp up. The project is aligned with national strategic vision of South Africa hydrogen market development and thus fits into IDC's corporate strategy and government mandate. On the path to a CO2-neutral future, green hydrogen applications can form the fourth pillar of the energy sector transformation, alongside renewables, energy efficiency and smart grids. This is especially true for sectors in which energy efficiency and the direct use of electricity from renewables are not sufficient (i.e., industry, chemicals, and heavy-duty transport). Finally, the development of a hydrogen economy and the strengthening of South Africa as a global hydrogen partner country will also create new jobs and thus contribute to a socially acceptable energy transition in South Africa ("Just Energy Transition - JET").

Support of development and production of vaccines in South Africa. The module objective is to strengthen the vaccine value chain in South Africa, thereby enabling the local development of APIs for vaccine production (also beyond Covid-19 vaccines). This is done by procuring equipment to operate pilot plants for the production of vaccines for clinical trials, upgrading laboratory and research facilities for vaccine development, and strengthening the national regulatory authority, including its reference laboratory for the certification of new medical devices. Access to locally produced APIs and their production for clinical trials is thus made possible. This reduces South Africa's dependence on imports, which is very high, as it is in Africa as a whole. By strengthening the national regulatory authority, vaccines can be certified WHO-compliant, which in turn enables the export of locally manufactured products and their acceptance by GAVI. Thus, the project can indirectly contribute to reducing the disease burden of the population on the African continent and in developing countries. The beneficiary of the grant is the Republic of South Africa, represented by the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI). The project executing agency of the FC measure is the South African Medical Research Council (MRC).

Sektorprogramm Wasser  Programm d&apos Eau. Die Entwicklungen im Wassersektor seit dem 25. April 2015 wurden von der gesamtpolitischen Situation (bestehender Gewaltkonflikt vor und nach den Wahlen zur dritten Amtszeit des Präsidenten) maßgeblich beeinflusst. Die Weiterentwicklung der sektorpolitischen Strategien und Rahmenbedingungen, die eine wesentliche Dimension des EZ-Engagements im Wassersektor ist, konnte nicht mehr fortgeführt werden. Die regierungsnahe Zusammenarbeit wurde von der deutschen EZ ausgesetzt (BMZ-Briefe an die DO vom19.6.2015 (TZ), 23.06.2015 (FZ) und Verbalnote vom 5.6.2015). Die EZ-Massnahmen, die weitergeführt werden können, werden in den jeweiligen Maßnahmenspezifischen Berichterstattungen aufgeführt. Œ ŒDie organisatorischen und gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen im burundischen Wassersektor haben sich in den letzten Jahren mit der Verabschiedung von Sektorstrategien und des Wasserrahmengesetzes, der Anpassung der Ausgabenplanung und der Einführung eines nationalen Monitoringsystems verbessert. Die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Trinkwasser ist gemäß dem nationalen Wasser- und Sanitärinventar (Inventaire National Eau et Assainissement - INEA) von etwa 50 % (2008) auf 62 % (2012) angestiegen. Das bedeutet, dass Œüber eine Million Menschen zusätzlich Zugang zu Trinkwasser haben. Das nationale Ziel einer Versorgung von 75 % bis 2015 wird Burundi jedoch nicht erreichen. Bezüglich des Zugangs zu einer angemessenen Sanitärversorgung besteht mit ca. 15 % im ländlichen und ca. 27 % im städtischen Raum (Enquête Nationale d'Assainissement de Base 2014) keine Verbesserung. Œ ŒSowohl im Trinkwasser- als auch im Sanitärbereich sind also noch erhebliche Investitionen zu leisten. Neben dem enormen Investitionsbedarf ist der dauerhafte Betrieb der bestehenden ländlichen Wasser- und Sanitärversorgungsinfrastruktur eine noch nicht bewältigte Herausforderung, vor allem im ländlichen Raum. In der Folge funktioniert heute nur die Hälfte aller öffentlichen Zapfstellen. Als weiteres Problem ist die unzureichende Qualität von Trinkwasser zu nennen. Ein signifikanter Anteil der Quellen, die der Trinkwasserversorgung dienen, ist mit coliformen Bakterien verschmutzt. Prekäre Hygieneverhältnisse verursachen eine zusätzliche Verschmutzung des Trinkwassers in den Haushalten. ŒDas EZ-Programmziel gemäß dem gemeinsamen Programmvorschlag von 2012 lautet: Die Versorgung der städtischen und ländlichen Bevölkerung Burundis mit hygienisch unbedenklichem Trinkwasser und angemessenen Sanitäreinrichtungen ist verbessert, unter Berücksichtigung der Prinzipien einer nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung der Wasserressourcen (Zielhorizont 2020). Œ ŒDas EZ-Programm wird arbeitsteilig durch TZ und FZ umgesetzt und umfasste vor der Teilsuspendierung folgende Handlungsfelder: Œ Œ(i) Infrastrukturmaßnahmen für einen verbesserten Zugang der Bevölkerung zu Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung einschließlich Maßnahmen zur Hygienesensibilisierung, Œ(ii) Verbesserung der Sektorkoordination  Œ(iii) Unterstützung der Planungs- und Steuerungsaufgaben des MEM Œ(iv) Effizienzsteigerung bei der REGIDESO (v) Stärkung der kommunalen Bauherren- und Trägerschaft in der Wasser- und Sanitärversorgung (vi) Management und Schutz der Wasserressourcen Œ(vii) Verringerung der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Wasser- und Bodenressourcen.

The social and economic development of the Great Lakes region is hampered by a serious lack of modern energy. The national electricity markets are characterized by inadequate power supply and poor grid infrastructure on the one hand and high generation costs and unfavourable structural conditions on the other. In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in the provinces of North and South Kivu, the situation is further exacerbated as the region is not connected to the national grid. By building the Ruzizi III hydropower plant on the border river of the same name, the three neighboring countries of Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC want to counter this obstacle. The Ruzizi III HPP is being implemented by a project company, Ruzizi III Energy Limited (REL). Under the leadership of the regional organization EGL (Energie des Grands Lacs), the construction of the Ruzizi III HPP is to be implemented as a public-private partnership (PPP) with the significant participation of a private investor via a project company, Ruzizi Energy Limited (REL). The total costs for the construction of the Ruzizi III HPP are estimated at around USD 795 million (approx. EUR 736 million). Financing is being provided primarily by bilateral and multilateral development banks. FC is supporting the regional project with an FC grant to Burundi in the amount of EUR 14.5 million. Œ ŒThe construction and rehabilitation of the HPPs will significantly increase the amount of electricity available in the region and contribute to a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly electricity supply in the region (project objective). The target group of the project are the electricity consumers in Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo, who will benefit from an improved electricity supply and lower generation costs. The social and economic development of the Great Lakes region is hampered by a serious lack of modern energy. The national electricity markets are characterized by inadequate power supply and poor grid infrastructure on the one hand and high generation costs and unfavourable structural conditions on the other. In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in the provinces of North and South Kivu, the situation is further exacerbated as the region is not connected to the national grid. By building the Ruzizi III hydropower plant on the border river of the same name, the three neighboring countries of Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC want to counter this obstacle.

Sector project: Support of the Quality Infrastructure - Sectoral, Nationa, Regional. "Quality infrastructure (QI)" is a collective term for all those measures that are necessary to ensure and prove the quality of products and services: metrology, standardization and testing, quality management and conformity assessment as well as certification and accreditation. The individual components form a close network which encompasses public and private institutions and is based on a hierarchy of specialized institutions. The network is embedded in a regulatory framework which has to meet international requirements. The core problem is that in developing countries the degree of maturity of the system structure and its elements are barely available or do not yet form a fully functional network to meet the national, regional and international technical requirements. This has the consequence, for example, that the countries concerned are only inadequately utilizing their trade-policy potential or are only inadequately able to meet their consumer policy responsibilities. It is a supraregional project without geographical or sectoral delimitation  The stakeholders of the technical cooperation use demand-oriented approaches for the setting up of an internationally recognized QI system.

Cross-border MFI refinancing facility to bridge liquidity shortages (MEF) IV. Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

Climate Insurance Fund IV - Trust Funds. Developing countries (DC) are particularly affected by the increase in environmental disasters as a result of climate change and suffer higher losses due to natural disasters relative to their economic strength than OECD countries. Households, businesses and public authorities in DCs generally have little or no access to insurance solutions that could help manage the economic consequences of severe weather disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. Œ ŒAs a contribution to climate adaptation, the German G7 presidency therefore launched the InsuResilience Initiative in 2015, succeeded by the G20 InsuResilience Global Partnership. The InsuResilience Investment Fund (IIF, previously called the Climate Insurance Fund) is a contribution of German Financial Cooperation (FC) to this initiative. The IIF aims to increase capacity in DC to deal with impacts and adapt to climate change by improving the supply and use of extreme weather insurance. These help mitigate the costs of consequences and associated financial and sometimes existential risks for poor and vulnerable affected people (such as low-income households, microfinance clients, and farms in DCs). In addition, the Fund is pursuing the further development of insurance products among investees to provide additional incentives for climate change adaptation measures. ŒTo achieve these goals, the IIF provides equity investments as well as loans, guarantees or so-called contingency loans to insurance companies or intermediaries working with them (e.g. brokers and financial institutions). In addition to the financing measures, advisory and training measures are financed for the development of needs-oriented insurance policies, the empowerment of investment recipients, the design of simple, understandable and fair insurance policies in the sense of responsible finance, and, if necessary, measures to promote the basic financial education of policyholders (financial literacy). To enable the development of financially sustainable insurance solutions for extreme weather risks, the IIF will also support market development in the reinsurance sector where necessary. In order to support the introduction of new insurance products, the Fund will additionally provide temporary and limited funding to reduce insurance premiums for end-insureds.

Global Crop Diversity Trust, follow-up phase. Core problem: Œ800 million people are already going hungry today. In order to feed the growing world population, agricultural crop production is fundamental. At the same time, climate change will continue and significantly alter the framework conditions for plant-based food production. In this context, plant genetic diversity, through breeding of adapted varieties, can enable room for maneuver. Œ ŒModule objective: ŒThe aim of the project is to contribute to long-term food security through the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources. To this end, the financial cooperation will provide a financial contribution to the already existing endowment fund of the Global Crop Diversity Fund (Crop Trust). Œ ŒKey outputs: ŒIncreased efficiency in the operation of the Crop Trust  long-term provision of funds through the Crop Trust  improved operation and management of seed banks. Œ ŒTarget group: ŒThe target group are the users of the funded seed banks. The conservation of the global asset "crop diversity" serves food security for the entire world population which hence represents the target group in the broader sense. Œ ŒContribution to the national implementation of the 2030 Agenda (not in the MA): ŒThus, the project contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals 1 "End poverty in all its forms and everywhere permanently" , 2 "End hunger and create food security", 3 "Promote health for all people and their well-being" , 13 "Take action to combat climate change" and 15 "Protect ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss" and thus to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

SEWOH-MEF - MSME Agricultural Finance Facilty for Nigeria and Malawi. Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

KCGF Phase III: Financial Services for Growth and Employment in the MSME Sector. The Kosovo Credit Guarantee Fund (KCGF) provides credit guarantees to local banks and microfinance institutions for the benefit of micro, small and medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kosovo. By providing partial coverage of credit risks, KCGF promotes access to adequate financing for MSMEs and entrepreneurs who want to invest but who are perceived as risky, for example because they have little collateral (such as real estate) to secure financing. Œ ŒThis follow-up phase to previous German support for KCGF provides additional guarantee capital for three thematic "guarantee windows" as well as technical assistance grants to support deployment of those guarantees. The first supported thematic guarantee window is for the agricultural sector, to promote investments that increase competitiveness, income and employment particularly in rural areas. The second thematic window supported by the project was specifically created in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It provides flexible, subsidized guarantee terms and can temporarily provide higher coverage to maintain access to finance despite increased uncertainty due to the pandemic. Third, a "Green Recovery Window" is being created as part of the pandemic response and to contribute to investments in economic recovery that increase energy efficiency, resource efficiency or renewable energy investments.

Solar Energy Program II - Solar 4 Kosovo II (Solar District Heating), Part 2. In Kosovo, 94% of the country's electrical energy is generated in the two outdated coal-fired power plants Kosovo A and B. Coal combustion in the power plants and also in individual domestic stoves is a major reason for the enormous air pollution, especially in Pristina. Approximately 75% of Pristina's buildings are not yet connected to the city's central district heating system and obtain heat by using coal-based electricity and by burning unsustainably sourced wood or lignite. Deterioration in air quality is particularly measurable during the heating-intensive winter months, especially in urban areas not connected to the district heating system. In most cases, the heating systems are outdated, inefficient and characterized by high operating costs. Œ ŒThe core problem targeted by the FC module measures is the inefficient, unreliable, climate-damaging and quantitatively insufficient heat supply to households, public institutions and businesses in Pristina. The FC module will provide additional heat capacities on the basis of solar thermal generation in Pristina, create the preconditions for the new district heating connection of building units through network expansion measures, and increase the efficiency of the municipal district heating company Termokos, the project executing agency, among other things through training and education measures. The overall project will make it possible to replace the outdated heat supply to building units in Pristina, which is based on fossil fuels, with modern and sustainable district heating. The direct target group of the project are approx. 38,000 residents, users and owners of buildings that will be newly connected to the district heating supply in Pristina as part of the network expansion measures and will thus benefit from a reliable, inexpensive and more environmentally friendly heat supply.

Solar Energy Program II - Solar 4 Kosovo II (Solar District Heating), Part 3. In Kosovo, 94 percent of the country's electrical energy is generated in the two outdated coal-fired power plants Kosovo A and B. Coal combustion in the power plants and also in individual domestic stoves is a major reason for the enormous air pollution, especially in Pristina. Approximately 75 percent of Pristina's buildings are not yet connected to the city's central district heating system and obtain heat by using coal-based electricity and by burning unsustainably sourced wood or lignite. Deterioration in air quality is particularly measurable during the heating-intensive winter months, especially in urban areas not connected to the district heating system. In most cases, the heating systems are outdated, inefficient and characterized by high operating costs. Œ ŒThe core problem targeted by the FC module measures is the inefficient, unreliable, climate-damaging and quantitatively insufficient heat supply to households, public institutions and businesses in Pristina. The FC module will provide additional heat capacities on the basis of solar thermal generation in Pristina, create the preconditions for the new district heating connection of building units through network expansion measures, and increase the efficiency of the municipal district heating company Termokos, the project executing agency, among other things through training and education measures. The overall project will make it possible to replace the outdated heat supply to building units in Pristina, which is based on fossil fuels, with modern and sustainable district heating. The direct target group of the project are approx. 38,000 residents, users and owners of buildings that will be newly connected to the district heating supply in Pristina as part of the network expansion measures and will thus benefit from a reliable, inexpensive and more environmentally friendly heat supply.

Climate Appropriate Urban Development Waste Water Pristina (III). The aim is to fundamentally and sustainably improve wastewater disposal and rainwater management in the Pristina region so the local population - around a quarter of the country's total population - benefits from efficient and better quality disposal services. It also supports the approximation to EU environmental standards and contributes to the protection of scarce water resources. An important secondary objective is the ability to adapt to climate change (KLA1). ŒThe module is one of three components to be implemented as part of the "Wastewater Kosovo" program. Other components are the construction of collectors to the wastewater treatment plant sites (including any necessary pumping stations), as well as the construction of wastewater treatment plants for the city of Pristina (parallel financing through a French export credit, Kosovo's own contributions and possibly AFD loans and WBIF grants).

Solid Waste Mangement Programm II-IV (IV). The objective of the module (Waste Management Programme ll-IV) is to contribute to environmentally sound, hygienically safe and sustainable waste management and to support the implementation of the national waste strategy as well as the approximation to EU environmental standards. An important secondary objective is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and thus climate protection. In this way, the module contributes to the objectives of the DC programme and, in particular, to satisfying key basic needs of the population. Œ ŒUnder the project, all landfills and the transfer station of the Kosovo Landfill Management Company (KLMC) are to be rehabilitated, closed, expanded or newly built according to modern standards. In addition, the performance of the project executing agency is to be increased through accompanying measures in order to ensure efficient and sustainable operation. Œ ŒThe target group of the project is the entire population of the municipalities whose waste is disposed of at the KLMC facilities. The project thus reaches around three quarters of the Kosovar population. The total costs of the project, including the stockpile testing part, are estimated at EUR 75 million (plus taxes and own contributions), of which EUR 72 million are for investment costs and EUR 3 million for accompanying measures. The project is to be financed through FC grants and grants from other donors (especially the EU). So far, EUR 13 million have been pledged for the project (2016/ 2018 budget), as well as a further EUR 8 million from the 2020 framework planning.

Unterstützung eines Berufsbildungszentrums für Energie und Umwelt (ISEP)  Promotion d&apos un Institut supérieur d&apos Enseignement professionnel dans le domaine des Energies renouvelables et de l&apos Effica. Das FZ-Vorhaben "Unterstützung eines Berufsbildungszentrums für Energie und Umwelt (ISEP)" soll einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erweiterung des Angebots und der Verbesserung des Zugangs zu höherer praxisorientierter beruflicher Bildung im Bereich Erneuerbare Energien und Energieeffizienz im Senegal leisten. ISEP steht für Institut Supérieur d'Enseignement Professionnel und entspricht aufgrund der praxisorientierten Ausrichtung etwa einer Berufsakademie im deutschen System. Durch die Finanzierung werden die Reformbemühungen der senegalesischen Regierung zum Aufbau eines arbeitsmarktorientierten Berufsbildungs- und Hochschulsystems mit einem Netzwerk aus zukünftig insgesamt 14 Berufsakademien/ ISEP in allen Regionen des Landes unterstützt. Œ ŒDas Vorhaben schafft durch Investitionen in den Bau und die Ausstattung des geplanten ISEP in Mbacké, in der Region Diourbel, infrastrukturelle Voraussetzungen zu praxisorientierter und berufsqualifizierender Ausbildung zur Modernisierung des Energiesektors und weiterer energieintensiver Wirtschaftssektoren mit Blick auf Energieeffizienz, erneuerbare Energien und Umweltverträglichkeit. Dabei soll der Gebäudekomplex über eine entsprechende energieeffiziente, klimaangepasste und ökologische Bauweise (Campus vert) direkt als Anwendungsbeispiel dienen. Œ  Le projet de coopération financière proposé ici, intitulé "Soutien à un centre de formation professionnelle pour l'énergie et l'environnement (ISEP)", doit apporter une contribution importante à l'élargissement de l'offre et à l'amélioration de l'accès à une formation professionnelle supérieure orientée vers la pratique dans le domaine des énergies renouvelables et de l'efficacité énergétique au Sénégal, afin de faire face, d'une part, à la pénurie de personnel qualifié et, d'autre part, d'augmenter les chances d'emploi des diplômés. ISEP signifie Institut Supérieur d'Enseignement Professionnel et correspond à peu près à une académie professionnelle dans le système allemand en raison de son orientation vers la pratique. Œ ŒLe souhait du gouvernement sénégalais de planifier l'ISEP à Mbacké en mettant l'accent sur les domaines professionnels dans le secteur de "l'efficacité énergétique et des énergies renouvelables" souligne la priorité élevée de ce thème, tant dans la politique nationale que dans la coopération sénégalo-allemande. Œ ŒLa construction et l'équipement d'un ISEP à Mbacké dans la région de Diourbel sont au premier plan du projet de coopération financière. Cela permettra de soutenir les efforts de réforme du gouvernement sénégalais visant à mettre en place un système de formation professionnelle et d'enseignement supérieur orienté vers le marché du travail, avec un réseau de 14 académies professionnelles au total à l'avenir, dans toutes les régions du pays, afin d'élargir l'offre de diplômes professionnels supérieurs orientés vers la pratique et de combler le fossé existant jusqu'à présent entre la formation professionnelle pure et la formation académique par l'obtention du diplôme de technicien (bac+2=BTS).

Senegal: Programm zur Integration Erneuerbarer Energien  Intégration des Energies Renouvelables. Der ansteigende Zubau an erneuerbaren Energien stellt den senegalesischen Stromsektor vor neue Aufgaben. Die fluktuierende Erzeugung aus den regenerativen Energiequellen - Sonne und Wind stehen nicht kontinuierlich zur Verfügung - ist für die Netzintegration und -steuerung eine permanente Herausforderung. Das Vorhaben zielt daher auf die Verbesserung der Stromqualität und die Reduzierung von Stromausfällen durch die Integration erneuerbarer Energien sowie die Minderung von CO2 Emissionen ab. Um Schwankungen auszugleichen, ist u.a. die Installation eines elektrischen Batteriespeichers (BESS) vorgesehen. Zusätzlich übernimmt dieser BESS die Funktion, der noch fehlenden, schnell mobilisierbarer Betriebsreserve bei Senelec, dem staatlichen Energieversorgungsunternehmen. Überlastungen des Stromübertragungsnetzes können durch die anpassungsfähige Aufnahme und Abgabe von Energie vermieden und Ausfälle sowie Schäden am Netz und Maschinen reduziert werden. Die Substitution von fossiler Stromerzeugung leistet darüber hinaus einen Beitrag zur Dekarbonisierung und Einsparung von CO2-Emissionen. Die Erschließung der im Senegal verfügbaren erneuerbaren Energieressourcen ist von strategischer Bedeutung, um die Energieabhängigkeit vom Importteurer fossilen Brennstoffe zu verringern und letztlich auch die Stromgestehungskosten zu reduzieren. ŒDer BESS soll neben dem Solarkraftwerk Diass errichtet und dort an die Umspannstation angeschlossen werden. ŒZielgruppen sind alle Bevölkerungsgruppen und Wirtschaftszweige, die von einer verlässlichen, nachhaltigen und energieeffizienten Energieversorgung und -nutzung profitieren. ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Projekts werden auf 28,6 Mio. EUR geschätzt (FZ-Mittel 18 Mio. EUR AFD-Darlehen 8 Mio. EUR sowie Eigenbeitrag von Senelec ca. 2,6 Mio.). Der voraussichtliche Durchführungszeitraum des Projektes beläuft sich auf die Jahre 2021-2024.  Au cours des dernières années, une forte augmentation des énergies renouvelables a été enregistrée au Sénégal. Par conséquence une meilleure intégration des énergies renouvelables intermittentes, en particulier l'intégration des centrales solaires photovoltaïques et des centrales éoliennes est requise pour renforcer les réseaux électriques. ŒLe projet vise à un soutien au réseau électrique pour éviter les évènements de délestage de fréquence par l'installation des systèmes de stockage d'énergie par batterie (battery energy storage system = BESS) sur le réseau interconnecté sénégalais. L'objectif du projet est l'amélioration de la qualité de l'alimentation électrique ainsi que le renforcement de la résilience générale du réseau électrique par l'intégration des énergies renouvelables, permettant aussi une réduction des émissions du CO2. ŒLe BESS sera situé près de la centrale photovoltaïque sur le site de Diass et raccordés au poste de haute tension. Œ ŒLes groupes cibles sont tous les groupes de population et les secteurs économiques qui bénéficient d'un approvisionnement et d'une utilisation de l'énergie fiable, durable et efficace sur le plan énergétique. Œ ŒLe coût total du projet est estimé à 28,6 millions d'euros. Le financement de la coopération financière allemande à travers la KfW s'élève à un montant de 18 millions d'euros. Le co-financement de l'AFD (Agence Française de Développement) s'élève à 8 millions d'euros. En plus, le Promoteur de projet Senelec contribue une contrepartie d'environ 2,6 millions d'euros. Le projet sera réalisé entre 2021 et 2024.  Durch Netzstärkungs- und -verbesserungsmaßnahmen wird eine sichere und zuverlässige Integration Erneuerbarer Energien ermöglicht.

Förderung der Landrechtsverwaltung  Programme de Modernisation de la Gestion foncière (PROMOGEF). Das FZ-Vorhaben PROMOGEF hat durch die Bereitstellung von dezentraler Infrastruktur und deren Ausstattung, die Digitalisierung der Landrechtsverwaltung und deren Modernisierung die Verbesserung des Zugangs zu Landnutzungsrechten und Landtiteln als Ziel und unterstützt damit die Umsetzung der senegalesischen Reformagenda (Plan Senegal Emergent II). Œ ŒKernproblem: ŒZuständigkeiten im Bereich Landrecht sind unklar, staatliche Stellen und Gemeinden sind nicht ausreichend für die Aufgabe ausgerüstet und die aktuelle Rechtslage trägt den Bedürfnissen der Gemeinden noch nicht ausreichend Rechnung (z.B. hinsichtlich der Ausweisung als Weideflächen, Gemeindeland oder Gruppenbesitz). Außerdem besteht Misstrauen zwischen Kommunen und staatlichen Behörden, da die Kommunen fürchten, ihr Recht der Landverwaltung durch eine Formalisierung abgesprochen zu bekommen. Œ ŒModulziel: ŒDie Landrechtsverwaltung durch die zuständigen Behörden (Verwaltungsbehörden, lokale Behörden und technische Dienste) ist effizient, transparent und verantwortungsvoll. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs: Œ Die Infrastruktur und die Ausrüstung für die Verwaltung der Landrechte ist modernisiert. Œ Das digitalisierte System der Landrechtsveraltung (SGF), das ein digitales Grundbuch und ein geographisches Informationssystem umfasst, ist eingerichtet. Œ Die für die Projektdurchführung erforderlichen Management- und Governance-Fähigkeiten der DGID sind gestärkt (dies erfolgt durch die Entwicklung und Umsetzung eines Change-Management-Plans der Behörde, der u.a. die Einbeziehung der Zivilgesellschaft und die Berücksichtigung von Bedürfnissen vulnerabler Gruppen, darunter v.a. Frauen, in Verwaltungshandeln einbindet). Œ ŒZielgruppe: ŒDie Zielgruppe ist die Bevölkerung in den Interventionsregionen. Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030: ŒDas Modul leistet einen Beitrag zur Erreichung des Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1, SDG 8 und SDG 16 der Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung, welche durch den nationalen Entwicklungsplan Plan Sénégal Emergent (PSE) umgesetzt wird.

Ziel Projekts ist die Wachstumsförderung von formellen senegalesischen KMU in beschäftigungsrelevanten Sektoren über den Fonds PME (Oyass Capital), einen senegalesischen Impact Investitionsfonds. Oyass Capital bietet den KMU Wachstumskapital in Form von (Eigenkapital ähnlichen Darlehen) an. ŒDie KfW hat dafür im Rahmen der Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit 25 Mio. Euro zugesagt und 14 Mio. Euro dafür Ende 2021 bereitgestellt. Der Beitrag der senegalesischen Regierung beläuft sich auf 5 Mio. Euro. Die an Oyass Capital zurückfließenden Darlehen und Zinserträge werden für neue Investitionen in KMU genutzt. Private und öffentliche Investoren können sich an Oyass Capital beteiligen. Um deren Investitionsbereitschaft zu erhöhen werden die Mittel der FZ Maßnahme als Risikokapital eingesetzt. ŒAuf Grund der Schaffung einer besseren Verfügbarkeit von Wachstumskapital für die KMU im Senegal ist das Projekt besonders innovativ. Somit kann der Zugang zu Finanzierungen und die Armut des Landes verbessert werden. ŒDa Oyass Capital noch keine Investitionen getätigt hat, sind bislang noch keine Wirkungen bei den KMU eingetreten.

Green Power Islands for Al. The project aims to improve the electricity supply in remote locations in the Saloum river delta. Photovoltaic solar systems supported by a battery storage system (and possibly diesel generators) are intended to ease access to electricity or allow it in the first place. Some locations have been electrified in the past, but the systems are only partially functional and can only supply the villages with electricity for a few hours a day. At other locations, access to electricity will be made possible for the first time. The German government has provided a grant of 30 million euros. The project is a follow-up phase of the "Program to Promote Renewable Energies". ŒThe improved electricity supply resulting from the project has a positive effect on the promotion of the local economy and has a positive impact on income-generating measures in a structurally weak region. One promising sector is the fish processing industry with complex value chains. Shortening the value chain is a first opportunity to improve the income of primary producers, who would otherwise only receive fractions of the sales prices. In addition, a long-term stable energy supply provides the basis for the growth of the promising tourism sector and the associated creation of jobs. The sustainable energy supply and environmentally friendly production offer the opportunity to specialize in "green tourism" in the region. As the delta has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, there are promising structures in place already. Further, the environmentally friendly production of energy benefits a wide range of agricultural products.

Fin 2020, un projet de la coopération financière (CF) pour la promotion de l'emploi et du secteur privé pour les MPME a été lancé, dans le cadre duquel AccèsBanque Madagascar (ABM) fournit des crédits supplémentaires à taux réduit aux MPME particulièrement touchées par les effets de la pandémie ou qui ont un impact important sur l'emploi. La situation problématique s'est encore aggravée en raison de la persistance de la pandémie de COVID-19. ŒObjectif du module : ŒCette deuxième facilité d'urgence COVID-19 vise à préserver l'emploi en fournissant des services financiers adaptés aux besoins et des mesures de soutien aux MPME à Madagascar. ŒPrincipales réalisations : ŒGrâce à la subvention de la CF, l'ABM peut fournir des prêts supplémentaires à taux réduit aux MPME ainsi que subventionner leurs actions de maintien de l'emploi, dans les secteurs particulièrement touchés par l'impact économique de la pandémie. ŒGroupe cible : ŒLes facilités décrites ci-dessus sont transmises au groupe cible, les MPME, en particulier dans les secteurs d'activité du transport et de la logistique, de la formation, du commerce ou de la production, afin de soutenir leur personnel et en infrastructures et de pouvoir ainsi stabiliser leur situation économique. ŒContribution à la mise en oeuvre nationale de l'Agenda 2030 : ŒMadagascar s'efforce de protéger la population contre les infections à COVID-19 tout en minimisant l'impact sur l'économie et la société. Ce projet de CF soutient les MPME avec des financements de transition afin de pouvoir surmonter la crise et préserver les emplois dans les secteurs particulièrement touchés.

The financial cooperation (FC) module contributes to the development cooperation (DC) programme &quot Environmental Policy, Conservation and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources in Madagascar&quot  whose aim is: The conservation and sustainable climate-resilient use of natural resources is increasing. The Malagassy Nature Conservation trust fund&apos s (Fondation des Aires Protégées et de la Biodiversité de Madagascar) mission is to support Madagascar&apos s biodiversity conservation by promoting and financing the protected areas expansion, creation, protection and enhancement. ŒThe financial contributions to FAPBM are intended to contribute to a sustainable financial stability of Madagascar&apos s Protected Area System (SAPM) and to the protection of Madagascar&apos s sensitive ecosystems (DC programme&apos s objective). This module consists in a financial contribution of EUR 30.6 million to the fund&apos s capital. The increasing capital will enable FAPBM to generate higher returns from the capital and to disburse correspondingly higher amounts to the protected areas of the SAPM. These disbursements are intended to improve the financing of protected areas managed by Madagascar National Parks (MNP) and the so-called New Protected Areas (NAP). At the same time, the contributions are intended to leverage further capital contributions from other donors, thus improving the international credibility of FAPBM. Furthermore, the renewed FC contribution has the potential to reduce administrative costs of FAPBM, leading to economies of scale, and thus strengthen the efficiency of FAPBM management. The entire local population living in the vicinity of the currently up to 36 financed protected areas benefits from the protection of the habitats and their economic potential, from clear regulations on use and from the development of tourism.

Coastal and Marine Protection III (VPT). The Coastal and Marine Conservation II (Pêche Côtière Durable - PCD II) project contributes to the DC programme "Conservation and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources" in Madagascar. It aims at the sustainable management of mangroves and other natural marine resources by local communities, which thereby improve their socio-economic livelihood. Œ ŒCommunities are supported by selected non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to manage areas transferred to them for use in a more sustainable way through "transfert de gestion". The measures promoted by NGOs include the participatory development and implementation of resource management agreements such as rules of use for mangroves, the establishment of a control and monitoring system as well as ecological monitoring, the promotion of alternative sources of income and new value chains for mangrove products as well as awareness-raising and qualification measures. One focus of the measures is on the restoration, valorisation and management of the mangroves on Madagascar's west coast. Œ ŒThe primary target group is the rural population in the six intervention zones in the target regions DIANA and Menabe. The FC module is conceptually based on the predecessor project PCD I (BMZ No. 201669027). Œ ŒThe recipient of the FC contribution is the Republic of Madagascar, represented by the Ministry of Finance. The project executing agency is Madagascar National Parks, which is responsible not only for the management of terrestrial and marine protected areas, but also for involving the local population in the sustainable protection of the sensitive ecosystems. To this end, MNP works closely with NGOs that are already active in the planned project regions. The total cost of the project is estimated at around EUR 7.2 million. An FC grant of EUR 7.1 million is available to finance the costs of the project, which will be supplemented by MNP's own contributions.

Kernproblem ŒBurkina Faso sieht sich bei der dauerhaften Sicherung seiner Ernährungsbasis einer dreifachen Problemlage gegenüber: einer steigenden Nahrungsmittelnachfrage aufgrund des nach wie vor hohen Bevölkerungswachstums, einer schrumpfenden Verfügbarkeit landwirtschaftlicher Nutzflächen aufgrund fortschreitender Bodendegradierung und einer hieraus resultierenden hohen Abhängigkeit von importierten Lebensmitteln bei gleichzeitiger Erwartung langfristig steigender und volatiler Weltmarktpreise für Grundnahrungsmittel. Hieraus leiten sich für den Agrarsektor konkrete Handlungsbedarfe ab, die von staatlicher Seite wie von privaten Akteuren durch entsprechende Investitionen in Infrastruktur und Ausbildung zu adressieren sind.

Verbesserung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktivität durch boden- und wasserkonservierende Maßnahmen (SEWOH - Boden)  Projet d&apos Amélioration de la Productivité Agricole par la Conservation des Eaux et des Sols (PACES). Kernproblem ŒRund 80% der burkinischen Bevölkerung leben von der Landwirtschaft und sind damit von der nachhaltigen Nutzbarkeit der natürlichen Ressourcen des Landes abhängig. Ein aufgrund starken Bevölkerungswachstums kontinuierlich steigender Nutzflächenbedarf, eine niedrige landwirtschaftliche Produktivität sowie die zunehmende Bodendegradation stellen die Ernährungssicherung des Landes vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Œ ŒModulziel ŒZiel ist es, den Ertrag und die Produktivität des Regenfeldbaus auf den rehabilitierten Flächen zu steigern und die Resilienz der Produzenten gegenüber dem Klimawandel zu stärken. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs ŒMit Hilfe von boden- und wasserkonservierenden Maßnahmen, wie z.B. der Errichtung von Steinkonturwällen, Gras- und Ackerrandstreifen und demi-lunes (halbmondförmige Anhäufungen mit Kies und Erde um eine oder mehrere Pflanzen herum) sollen degradierte und/oder degradationsgefährdete Anbauflächen rehabilitiert und geschützt werden. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die Bevölkerung im ländlichen Raum der beiden Provinzen Plateau Central und Centre Nord, deren Flächen vor Degradation bewahrt werden bzw. die bereits degradierten Flächen mit Hilfe der Maßnahmen wieder landwirtschaftlich nutzbar machen können. Die Menschen vor Ort erhalten auf diese Weise die Möglichkeit, ihre Ernährungssituation dauerhaft zu verbessern.

Verbesserung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktivität durch boden- und wasserkonservierende Maßnahmen (SEWOH) - VPT  Projet d&apos Amélioration de la Productivité Agricole par la Conservation des Eaux et des Sols (PACES) - VPT. Kernproblem ŒRund 80% der burkinischen Bevölkerung leben von der Landwirtschaft und sind damit von der nachhaltigen Nutzbarkeit der natürlichen Ressourcen des Landes abhängig.

Vocational training in gardening and landscaping. Vocational training in gardening and landscaping  In Uganda an increasingly affluent middle class has emerged. As a result, the demand for services such as hotels, leisure facilities or restaurants is increasing. At the same time, there is a lack of training opportunities for young people outside the traditional trades. Training courses for gardening and landscaping close this gap. Short courses and longer trainings for the formal as well as for the informal employment sector respond to the increased demand.

Regional Energy Efficiency Fund Western Balkans ("Green for Growth Fund") - BMZ C-Shares. To counteract climate change and support sustainable development in the target regions (Western Balkans, Eastern and Southern EU Neigbourhood Region), further environmentally friendly investments are needed. The supply for sustainable and effective financing of investments in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energies (RE) is not sufficiently provided by local financial markets. Œ ŒThe objective of the project is first and foremost to sustainably build up and expand the supply of effective financing for investments in EE/RE in the target regions. Secondarily, the measure contributes to the reduction of energy consumption and/or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions among end-borrowers in the target region. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the regional energy efficiency fund for the Western Balkans and European neighborhood regions, the Green for Growth Fund (GGF). The fund was established in December 2009 under the sponsorship of KfW and the EIB. The Fund contributes to the development of the EE and RE markets by supporting investments by MSMEs and households through the local financial sector as well as, increasingly, direct investments in RE project companies that achieve on average 20% energy savings and/or 20% CO2 emission reductions. The GGF is now active in 19 countries in the Western Balkans (+Turkey) and in the EU's Eastern and Southern Neighborhood region. Œ ŒBMZ and the EU are the largest donors to the GGF and hold a large share of the GGF's first-loss tranche in the form of C- and L-shares. Furthermore, significant contributions from FZR funds for accompanying measures have been paid into the Technical Assistance (TA) Facility.

WB EDIF - Enterprise Innovation Fund (ENIF). ENIF is part of the Western Balkans Enterprise Development and Innovation Facility (WB EDIF) private sector initiative. It aims to improve access to financial services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the target countries of South-Eastern Europe. In addition to providing equity capital to SMEs and guarantee instruments for local banks, the focus is also on improving the regulatory and financial framework for the establishment and growth of SMEs in the region.

Friedliches Zusammenleben und sichere Räume für Jugendliche in Zentralamerika (CONVIVIR) - Komponente für El Salvador  Convivencia y espacios seguros para jóvenes en El Salvador. Die CONVIVIR-Vorhaben werden in El Salvador, Guatemala und Honduras umgesetzt. Sie finanzieren Investitionen im öffentlichen Raum in von Gewalt betroffenen Gemeinden und Stadtteilen. Dieser Ansatz zur Schaffung "sicherer Räume" wird mit der Förderung von sozialen und beruflichen Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen verbunden. Darüber hinaus werden die beteiligten Akteure institutionell gestärkt. ŒJugendliche und Anwohner*innen werden in die Auswahl und den Bau der Infrastrukturmaßnahmen sowie in ihre Verwaltung und Instandhaltung einbezogen. Ziel ist es, dass die geschaffenen sicheren Räume unter aktiver gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe von Jugendlichen nachhaltig genutzt werden. Die Maßnahmen leisten einen Beitrag zur Armutsreduzierung sowie zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. ŒZielgruppe des Programms sind Jugendliche beiderlei Geschlechts zwischen 14 und 25 Jahren, die in Stadtteilen mit hohen Gewaltindizes leben und daher besonders von Gewalt und Kriminalität betroffen sind. ŒDarlehensnehmer und Empfänger des CONVIVIR-Vorhabens in El Salvador ist die Republik El Salvador, vertreten durch das Finanzministerium. Politischer Träger ist das Ministerium für Justiz und Öffentliche Sicherheit  Durchführungseinheit ist die Nationale Direktion für kommunale Baumaßnahmen.

El objetivo es que los espacios seguros creados, sean utilizados de forma sostenible por los y las jóvenes con su participación activa en la sociedad. Las medidas contribuyen a la reducción de la pobreza y la igualdad de género. ŒLos beneficiarios del proyecto son jóvenes de ambos sexos entre 14 y 25 años, que viven en barrios con altos índices de violencia y, por tanto, están especialmente afectados por la violencia y la delincuencia.

Unterstützung des nationalen Plans zur verbesserten Abfallwirtschaft  Apoyo al Plan Nacional para el Mejoramiento del Maenjo de los Desechos Solidos. Das Vorhaben unterstützt die Umsetzung des im Mai 2010 verabschiedeten "Nationalen Plan zur verbesserten Abfallwirtschaft" durch die Einführung eines umweltverträglichen, Ressourcen schonenden und wirtschaftlich tragfähigen Abfallwirtschaftssystems in El Salvador. Durch das Vorhaben sollen Beiträge zur nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung natürlicher Ressourcen, zum Schutz der Umwelt und der Siedlungshygiene geleistet werden. Œ ŒDas Vorhaben umfasst Lieferungen und Leistungen zum Aufbau des Abfallwirtschaftssystems. Das Umweltministerium wird als Projektträger Abfalldeponien und Transferstationen in den peri-pheren Gebieten auf- und ausbauen, die von Kommunen und Zweckverbänden als Betreiber übernommen werden. Ursprgl. sollten ab einer Kapazität von 200t Abfall/Tag Anlagen zur Gas-fassung und -verbrennung errichtet werden, um die klimaschädlichen Methanemissionen zu reduzieren. Diese Einzelmaßnahme wurde bei keiner Deponie umgesetzt, da die betrieblichen Voraussetzungen für eine Gasfassung und -verbrennung an keinem Standort ausreichend gut gegeben waren. Der Projektträger und die Betreiber wurden ergänzend durch eine A+F Maß-nahme unterstützt. Œ ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die Gesamtbevölkerung im Projektgebiet, die von den dargestellten lokalen und regionalen positiven Umwelt- und Gesundheitswirkungen profitiert. Œ ŒDie Investitionskosten (einschließlich Consultingleistungen für die Implementierung sowie des lokalen Eigenanteils) belaufen sich auf rd. 25,9 Mio. EUR  für Maßnahmen der personellen Un-terstützung (PU-Maßnahmen) entstehen voraussichtlich Kosten in Höhe von 1,0 Mio. EUR. Aus FZ sollen zur Finanzierung der Investitionskosten 15,0 Mio. EUR als Integrierte Verbundfinan-zierung (davon 4,0 Mio. EUR Haushaltsmittel) und zur Finanzierung der PU-Maßnahmen 1,0 Mio. EUR als Finanzierungsbeitrag (A+F-Maßnahme) zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Œ  El Proyecto abarca la construcción y ampliación de rellenos sanitarios seleccionados, la construcción de estaciones intermedias y la adquisición de equipamiento, con el fin de apoyar al "Plan Nacional para el Mejoramiento del Manejo de Desechos Sólidos en El Salvador" que fue aprobado en mayo de 2010. El objetivo del Proyecto consiste en el uso de una red descentralizada de sitios para la disposición final de los desechos sólidos de forma sostenible en términos ambientales, con respecto a los recursos naturales y los problemas sanitarios urbanos. De esta manera, se pretende contribuir a mejorar las condiciones ambientales y sanitarias de una forma sostenible en las comunas beneficiadas del Proyecto, como también al Buen Gobierno a nivel local.

Risk Assessment and Management for Adaptation to Climate Change (Loss and Damage). Appropriate concepts for climate risk assessment and management in regions most severely affected by the impacts of climate change are readily available to be implemented by the German Development cooperation and its international partner organizations.

Climate Insurance Fund ("CIF"). Developing countries (DC) are particularly affected by the increase in environmental disasters as a result of climate change and suffer higher losses due to natural disasters relative to their economic strength than OECD countries. Households, businesses and public authorities in DCs generally have little or no access to insurance solutions that could help manage the economic consequences of severe weather disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. Œ ŒAs a contribution to climate adaptation, the German G7 presidency therefore launched the InsuResilience Initiative in 2015, succeeded by the G20 InsuResilience Global Partnership. The InsuResilience Investment Fund (IIF, previously called the Climate Insurance Fund) is a contribution of German Financial Cooperation (FC) to this initiative. The IIF aims to increase capacity in DC to deal with impacts and adapt to climate change by improving the supply and use of extreme weather insurance. These help mitigate the costs of consequences and associated financial and sometimes existential risks for poor and vulnerable affected people (such as low-income households, microfinance clients, and farms in DCs). In addition, the Fund is pursuing the further development of insurance products among investees to provide additional incentives for climate change adaptation measures. ŒTo achieve these goals, the IIF provides equity investments as well as loans, guarantees or so-called contingency loans to insurance companies or intermediaries working with them (e.g. brokers and financial institutions). In addition to the financing measures, advisory and training measures are financed for the development of needs-oriented insurance policies, the empowerment of investment recipients, the design of simple, understandable and fair insurance policies in the sense of responsible finance, and, if necessary, measures to promote the basic financial education of policyholders (financial literacy). To enable the development of financially sustainable insurance solutions for extreme weather risks, the IIF will also support market development in the reinsurance sector where necessary. In order to support the introduction of new insurance products, the Fund will additionally provide temporary and limited funding to reduce insurance premiums for end-insureds.

Enhancement of Quality Infrastructure Services for Innovtion in the Agriculture and Food Sector. Innovations in the agricultural and food sector are of central importance in order to ensure the constantly growing demand for food.
Ethiopia and Ghana are strongly characterised by agriculture and have significant natural potential for agricultural production. Nevertheless, agricultural productivity in both countries is low by global standards, mainly due to the fact that production methods are simple and often unsustainable.
Quality assurance has so far played only a subordinate role in the agricultural subsistence economy of Ethiopia and Ghana. This applies to the entire value chain, especially for wheat and maize, starting with inputs (seeds, fertilisers and pesticides), through harvesting and storage, to marketing and processing of agricultural products. The population in selected rural regions in Ethiopia and Ghana lacks access to quality assurance services, such as laboratory analyses and calibrations as an important prerequisite for the application of quality-related innovations in the agri-food sector (core problem).  The use of those quality infrastructure services that contribute to the application of quality-related innovations in the selected regions and value chains of the agricultural and food sectors in two African countries (Ethiopia and Ghana) has increased.

The introduction of modern means of production can significantly increase the cultivated area as well as the yield and income of smallholders and ultimately contribute to poverty reduction in rural areas. ŒWith the SEWOH funds, a leasing company for the agricultural sector in Zambia was founded at the end of 2017: AgLeaseCo. The target clients of AgLeaseCo are smallholders on 5 ha - 20 ha, who have so far had little or no access to finance and would like to modernize their cultivation methods by purchasing equipment (e.g. tractors, cultivators or trailers). AgLeaseCo works with local machine suppliers to identify and review customers. The company offers its customers financing in local currency at a fixed interest rate of 28% for 4-5 years. This corresponds to the market interest rate in Zambia, which is relatively high due to exchange rate fluctuations and inflation. By mechanizing their cultivation, the smallholders should be able to at least triple their income.

Climate-resilient decentralised infrastructure. The Programme concerns the funding of local public infrastructure in Southern Province. The purpose of the Programme is to improve the capacity of the beneficiary local governments to provide climate resilient public infrastructure within their mandate in a sustainable way and to the satisfaction of the population. This is to contribute to the improvement of service delivery and public participation at local level according to the provisions of the National Development Plan and the Zambian decentralisation policy. The programme aims at financing infrastructure that will improve the climate sensitive accessibility to basic health, education or markets (for example small dams, roads, bridges or drainages to cope with changed rainfall patterns). It can also include investment in community level flood control in order to protect residential areas of the poorer population. The details of the programme correspond to those of the programme Strengthening Local Government Phase III which is implemented nearly at the same time. Therefore, the implementation of both programmes should make use of synergy effects as far as possible. Œ  The Programme concerns the funding of local public infrastructure in Southern Province.

The programme aims at financing infrastructure that will improve the climate sensitive accessibility to basic health, education or markets (for example small dams, roads, bridges or drainages to cope with changed rainfall patterns). It can also include investment in community level flood control in order to protect residential areas of the poorer population. The details of the programme correspond to those of the programme Strengthening Local Government Phase III which is implemented nearly at the same time. Therefore, the implementation of both programmes should make use of synergy effects as far as possible. Œ

Management of Water Resources and Sanitation for medium-sized cities. One core problem in Sambia is the high need for investment in water and sanitation infrastructure: As a result of the limited capacities of available water resources, population growth, climatic changes and the only partially functional, outdated water supply infrastructure that is not adapted to the changing climatic conditions, access to an adequate water supply for the population in the target area is constantly deteriorating or is severely restricted in some cases on a seasonal basis. The resulting health risks are exacerbated by inadequate access to sanitation facilities, especially for poor sections of the population. Œ ŒThe ojectives of the module are the efficient use of available water resources which contribute to improved access to hygienically safe drinking water and thus strengthens the climate resilience of the target group. The provision of sustainable sanitation solutions which contribute to the protection of existing water resources and reduce health risks for the population of selected urban as well as peri-urban areas of Chomas.

Strengthening Decentralization in Medium Sized Municipalities. 1) Module objective of the project: The supported local governments provide public infrastructure sustainably and to the satisfaction of the population within their legally defined area of responsibility, oriented to the needs of the local population. To this end, infrastructure investments and accompanying measures are carried out in the districts of Choma, Kazungula, Kalomo, Monze, Mazabuka and Siavonga in the Southern Province in Zambia. Œ2) Starting point (core problem): Local governments (districts) are inadequately prepared to implement sector evolution plans. The local governments' endowment of financial resources is generally at a very low level and serves almost exclusively to cover running costs. As a result, there are often insufficient financial resources available to implement urgently needed infrastructure measures at the local level with participatory consideration of the needs of the citizens. Œ3) The target group of the project are the employees of the district administrations and the population of the towns and catchment areas of the respective projects in the above-mentioned districts. Furthermore, the private sector and the rural environment will benefit from the measures. Œ4) Components of the project: ŒComponent 1: Infrastructure measures (markets, bus station, truck parks, sports and play areas, bridges and roads incl. drainage) in the above-mentioned districts. ŒComponent 2: Close involvement of the local administration in the infrastructure project with tendering, planning and implementation of the infrastructure measures and development of operation and maintenance concepts as well as training of the local administration.

Innovative Ground and Surface Water Management in Zambia&apos s Southern Province. Rising temperatures associated with climate change, changes in precipitation distribution and amount as well as a strong population growth are leading to a reduction in water availability, especially from surface water resources, in the Southern Province of Zambia. At the same time, the potential of existing groundwater resources in the intervention area is underutilized and inefficient. Pollutant inputs and inadequate protection of existing well catchment areas threaten groundwater quality. An operational monitoring system for integrated water resource and demand planning at the water utility level is not in place. Necessary measures for adaptation to the consequences of climate change are thus not possible. As a result of the above, the water supply security of the population of Chomas is at risk (core problem). In order to address the core problem, the following measures are implemented: 1. securing groundwater use capacities in connection with increasing the groundwater share in the total supply, 2. contributing to ensuring groundwater quality and protecting groundwater extraction wells, and 3. establishing an operational monitoring system for integrated water resources and demand planning as well as related management tools. The objective of the measures is to make the water supply in the Southern Province of Zambia, especially in the city of Choma, more resilient and thus to contribute to climate change adaptation. The target group includes the entire population of Choma, especially the poor population living in the peri-urban and adjacent rural areas, which are severely affected by the impacts of climate change. The total project costs of EUR 10.0 million will be covered by a grant of the same amount. In addition, the executing agency will receive selective technical support measures (including on-the-job trainings).  The resilience of water supply in the Southern Province of Zambia, particularly in the town of Choma, has been improved, thus contributing to climate change adaptation.

Strengthening regional cooperation in Asia-Pacific accreditation networks. An important component in the reduction of technical barriers to trade is the independent evaluation and assessment of the competency of laboratories as well as of certification and inspection bodies (by conformity assessment bodies) whose services are increasingly demanded by consumers and trading partners. This applies not only to direct trade relations but also to furnishing the proof of environmentally friendly production processes, and to the safety of food or to the reliability of technologies in the field of renewable energies, to highlight just three of these policy fields. For the development of international trading processes in this policy field, certificates of accredited laboratories and proofs of competence of laboratories are often prerequisite in order to initiate or maintain trade relations. These services can only be provided by internationally recognised accreditation bodies.  This project strives to strengthen the regional accreditation network APAC (from 2019 onwards, formerly APLAC and PAC) in its ability to support its members and aspiring members from developing and emerging economies in their sustainable economic development.

The investment period was completed in mid-2014. The fund has significantly exceeded its investment target of USD 75 million with an investment volume of USD 93.5 million. Meanwhile, the fund has successfully completed 7 out of 8 exits. The fund was closed in May 2021 after two one-year term extensions. Œ ŒThe commitment volume of the 18 international investors remained unchanged at USD 135 million. Through the BMZ Africa funds contribution of EUR 11 million (approx. USD 14.2 million), together with the BMZ Asia funds contribution of EUR 6 million (approx. USD 7.6 million) and the KfW promotional participation (USD 3 million), the German FC has a total stake in LeapFrog of USD 24.8 million making it the largest shareholder of the fund with 18.4%. In addition, an FC financial contribution of EUR 1 million finances training and education measures for the fund's portfolio companies, which are offered by the TA-Facility LeapFrog Labs. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is the sustainable, efficient and customer-oriented provision of microinsurance products appropriate to the target group. The target group is low-income people (USD 1.25 to USD 10 per day), i.e. people who have had little or no opportunity to take out insurance tailored to their needs. With approximately 221 million consumers reached, 79% of whom were low-income individuals, this goal was successfully achieved. Additionally, the fund was able to demonstrate financial success in addition to social impact. Œ ŒThe success achieved by the fund company Leapfrog since its foundation in 2007, also through its impact fund "Leapfrog Financial Inclusion Fund", in which KfW plays a major role as an anchor investor, is also reflected in the very successful capital raising. In total, Leapfrog has raised USD 2 billion for its funds since 2007. In May 2021, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, Temasek, also joined Leapfrog as a minority shareholder with a capital injection of USD 500 million to strengthen its "impact investments". This is the world's largest single investment in an impact fund manager to date and shows how important sustainable investments based on ESG criteria have become to the international fund industry.

Extension of Green for Growth Fund - GGF II. To counteract climate change and support sustainable development in the target regions (Western Balkans, Eastern and Southern EU Neigbourhood Region), further environmentally friendly investments are needed. The supply for sustainable and effective financing of investments in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energies (RE) is not sufficiently provided by local financial markets. Œ ŒThe objective of the project is first and foremost to sustainably build up and expand the supply of effective financing for investments in EE/RE in the target regions. Secondarily, the measure contributes to the reduction of energy consumption and/or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions among end-borrowers in the target region. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the regional energy efficiency fund for the Western Balkans and European neighborhood regions, the Green for Growth Fund (GGF). The fund was established in December 2009 under the sponsorship of KfW and the EIB. The Fund contributes to the development of the EE and RE markets by supporting investments by MSMEs and households through the local financial sector as well as, increasingly, direct investments in RE project companies that achieve on average 20% energy savings and/or 20% CO2 emission reductions. The GGF is now active in 19 countries in the Western Balkans (+Turkey) and in the EU's Eastern and Southern Neighborhood region.

The objective of this FC measure is to provide a flexible range of products for the refinancing of sustainable perating, target group-oriented MFIs in Asia. This makes it easier for the MFIs to connect to the capital markets. The fund offers MFIs access to (subordinated) loans with longer maturities and fixed-rate products. This meets the demand for needs-based financial services from MSMEs and low-income households in Asia, thereby improving economic and social living conditions by increasing income, employment and growth. This also contributes to the goal of poverty reduction. Furthermore, the FC measure contributes to the stabilization of financial systems, which is an essential element for economic development.

Grundbildungsprogramm I  Programme d&apos Education Primaire Phase I. Niger ist eines der ärmsten Länder weltweit und verzeichnet mit knapp 4% ein rasantes Bevölkerungswachstum. Die mit diesem Bevölkerungszuwachs verbundenen Herausforderungen für das nigrische Bildungssystem, das bereits jetzt im westafrikanischen und internationalen Vergleich schlechte Ergebnisse verzeichnet, werden für das Land kaum zu bewältigen sein. Dem Staatshaushalt steht eine unzureichende Finanzierung für den Bildungssektor zur Verfügung und sowohl die Effizienz als auch die Qualität der Bildung liegen weit unter dem regionalen Durchschnitt. Dies ist auf die unzureichende Motivation der Lehrer/-innen, Schüler/-innen und Eltern zurückzuführen sowie auf das unzureichende Engagement und die mangelnde Kapazität der zentralen Ebene, das Funktionieren des Bildungssystems sicherzustellen. Das Programm setzt an diesen Kernproblemen des nigrischen Bildungssektors an, indem es auf klassische und innovative Ansätze der finanziellen Unterstützung zurückgreift. Œ ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Verbesserung des Grundbildungszugangs und der Motivation von Lehrer/-innen und Schüler/-innen in den Programmregionen. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind Schüler/-innen, Eltern und Lehrer/-innen in den Regionen Niamey, Tillabéri und Tahoua. Das Programm zielt auf die ärmste Bevölkerung ab und soll diese in die Lage versetzen, ihre Situation aus eigener Kraft zu verbessern. Gleichzeitig wird der Mehrwert von Bildung aus Sicht der Zielgruppe erhöht. Œ ŒDas FZ-Programm umfasst zwei Komponenten, die auf die wichtigsten Probleme des Bildungssektors, der Bildungsinfrastruktur und der Motivation der Lehrer/-innen, Schüler/-innen und Eltern zugeschnitten sind. Die Hauptkomponente umfasst den Bau und die Ausstattung von Klassenzimmern zuzüglich Lehrerwohnungen und sanitärer Infrastruktur in Niamey und den Regionen Tillabéri und Tahoua. Im Rahmen einer weiteren Komponente sollen die Kommunen weitere Nutzungsmöglichkeiten der Räume außerhalb der Unterrichtszeiten festlegen und erhalten dafür technische Unterstützung und Material. Dafür ist ein Finanzierungsbeitrag von knapp 9 Mio. EUR vorgesehen. Œ ŒDas Programm ist strukturbildend, da es partizipativ mit hohem Eigeneinsatz der Bevölkerung durchgeführt wird. Neben einer engen Zusammenarbeit mit der lokalen Bildungsverwaltung der Programmregionen werden die Kommunen und Elternvertreter in die Programmumsetzung eingebunden. Eine Innovation in der Bereitstellung didaktischer Materialien stellt der "Bildungskatalog" dar, über den verschiedene Bildungspakete wie z.B. eine Schulbibliothek, zweisprachige Lehrbücher, Radios und Audiomaterial, Material für Alphabetisierungskurse etc. gewählt werden können. Durch die Wahlmöglichkeiten wird die Selbstbestimmung in der Bildungspolitik auf lokaler Ebene gefördert und die Zielgruppe auf Eltern und Dorfbewohner ausgeweitet. Die Anwesenheit der Lehrer im Unterricht soll durch die Eltern-Schüler-Räte kontrolliert werden.  Le Niger est l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde et connaît une croissance démographique rapide d'un peu moins de 4%. Les défis pour le système éducatif nigérian, qui connaît déjà des résultats médiocres par rapport aux normes ouest-africaines et internationales, seront difficilement gérables pour le pays. Le budget de l'État ne dispose pas de fonds suffisants pour le secteur de l'éducation et l'efficacité et la qualité de l'éducation sont nettement inférieures à la moyenne régionale. Cela est dû au manque de motivation des enseignants, des élèves et des parents, ainsi qu'au manque d'engagement et de capacité au niveau central pour assurer le fonctionnement du système éducatif. Le programme s'attaque à ces problèmes fondamentaux du secteur nigérien de l'éducation en utilisant des approches traditionnelles et novatrices en matière de soutien financier. Œ ŒL'objectif du projet de la CF est d'améliorer l'accès à l'éducation de base et la motivation des enseignants et des élèves dans les régions du programme. Le groupe cible du projet sont les élèves, les parents et les enseignants des régions de Niamey, Tillabéri et Tahoua. Le programme cible les populations les plus pauvres et vise à leur permettre d'améliorer leur situation par elles-mêmes. En même temps, la valeur de l'éducation est augmentée du point de vue du groupe cible. Œ ŒLe programme de la CF comporte deux composantes qui sont adaptées aux problèmes les plus importants du secteur de l'éducation : l'infrastructure scolaire et la motivation des enseignants, des élèves et des parents. La composante principale comprend la construction et l'équipement de salles de classe, de logements pour les enseignants et d'infrastructures sanitaires à Niamey et dans les régions de Tillabéri et Tahoua. Dans le cadre d'une autre composante, les municipalités doivent déterminer d'autres utilisations possibles des salles en dehors des heures de classe et recevront en retour un soutien technique et du matériel. Une contribution financière d'un peu moins de 9 millions d'euros est prévue à cette fin. Œ ŒLe programme a un impact structurel car il est mis en uvre de manière participative avec un haut niveau d'engagement personnel de la part de la population. En plus d'une étroite coopération avec les autorités éducatives locales dans les régions du programme, les municipalités et les représentants des parents seront impliqués dans la mise en uvre du programme. Une innovation dans la fourniture de matériel didactique est le "Catalogue de l'éducation", qui peut être utilisé pour sélectionner divers outils pédagogiques tels qu'une bibliothèque scolaire, des manuels scolaires bilingues, des radios et du matériel audio, du matériel pour les cours d'alphabétisation, etc. Le "Catalogue de l'éducation" est un outil innovant pour fournir du matériel didactique. Ces options favorisent l'autodétermination dans la politique éducative au niveau local et étendent le groupe cible aux parents et aux villageois. La présence des enseignants en classe doit être contrôlée par les conseils parents-élèves.  Niger ist eines der ärmsten Länder weltweit und verzeichnet mit knapp 4% ein rasantes Bevölkerungswachstum.

Das Programm setzt an diesen Kernproblemen des nigrischen Bildungssektors an, indem es auf klassische und innovative Ansätze der finanziellen Unterstützung zurückgreift. Œ ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Verbesserung des Grundbildungszugangs und der Motivation von Lehrer/-innen und Schüler/-innen in den Programmregionen. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind Schüler/-innen, Eltern und Lehrer/-innen in den Regionen Niamey, Tillabéri und Tahoua. Das Programm zielt auf die ärmste Bevölkerung ab und soll diese in die Lage versetzen, ihre Situation aus eigener Kraft zu verbessern. Gleichzeitig wird der Mehrwert von Bildung aus Sicht der Zielgruppe erhöht. Œ ŒDas FZ-Programm umfasst zwei Komponenten, die auf die wichtigsten Probleme des Bildungssektors, der Bildungsinfrastruktur und der Motivation der Lehrer/-innen, Schüler/-innen und Eltern zugeschnitten sind. Die Hauptkomponente umfasst den Bau und die Ausstattung von Klassenzimmern zuzüglich Lehrerwohnungen und sanitärer Infrastruktur in Niamey und den Regionen Tillabéri und Tahoua. Im Rahmen einer weiteren Komponente sollen die Kommunen weitere Nutzungsmöglichkeiten der Räume außerhalb der Unterrichtszeiten festlegen und erhalten dafür technische Unterstützung und Material. Dafür ist ein Finanzierungsbeitrag von knapp 9 Mio. EUR vorgesehen. Œ ŒDas Programm ist strukturbildend, da es partizipativ mit hohem Eigeneinsatz der Bevölkerung durchgeführt wird. Neben einer engen Zusammenarbeit mit der lokalen Bildungsverwaltung der Programmregionen werden die Kommunen und Elternvertreter in die Programmumsetzung eingebunden. Eine Innovation in der Bereitstellung didaktischer Materialien stellt der "Bildungskatalog" dar, über den verschiedene Bildungspakete wie z.B. eine Schulbibliothek, zweisprachige Lehrbücher, Radios und Audiomaterial, Material für Alphabetisierungskurse etc. gewählt werden können. Durch die Wahlmöglichkeiten wird die Selbstbestimmung in der Bildungspolitik auf lokaler Ebene gefördert und die Zielgruppe auf Eltern und Dorfbewohner ausgeweitet. Die Anwesenheit der Lehrer im Unterricht soll durch die Eltern-Schüler-Räte kontrolliert werden.  Le Niger est l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde et connaît une croissance démographique rapide d'un peu moins de 4%. Les défis pour le système éducatif nigérian, qui connaît déjà des résultats médiocres par rapport aux normes ouest-africaines et internationales, seront difficilement gérables pour le pays. Le budget de l'État ne dispose pas de fonds suffisants pour le secteur de l'éducation et l'efficacité et la qualité de l'éducation sont nettement inférieures à la moyenne régionale. Cela est dû au manque de motivation des enseignants, des élèves et des parents, ainsi qu'au manque d'engagement et de capacité au niveau central pour assurer le fonctionnement du système éducatif. Le programme s'attaque à ces problèmes fondamentaux du secteur nigérien de l'éducation en utilisant des approches traditionnelles et novatrices en matière de soutien financier. Œ ŒL'objectif du projet de la CF est d'améliorer l'accès à l'éducation de base et la motivation des enseignants et des élèves dans les régions du programme. Le groupe cible du projet sont les élèves, les parents et les enseignants des régions de Niamey, Tillabéri et Tahoua. Le programme cible les populations les plus pauvres et vise à leur permettre d'améliorer leur situation par elles-mêmes. En même temps, la valeur de l'éducation est augmentée du point de vue du groupe cible. Œ ŒLe programme de la CF comporte deux composantes qui sont adaptées aux problèmes les plus importants du secteur de l'éducation : l'infrastructure scolaire et la motivation des enseignants, des élèves et des parents. La composante principale comprend la construction et l'équipement de salles de classe, de logements pour les enseignants et d'infrastructures sanitaires à Niamey et dans les régions de Tillabéri et Tahoua. Dans le cadre d'une autre composante, les municipalités doivent déterminer d'autres utilisations possibles des salles en dehors des heures de classe et recevront en retour un soutien technique et du matériel. Une contribution financière d'un peu moins de 9 millions d'euros est prévue à cette fin. Œ ŒLe programme a un impact structurel car il est mis en uvre de manière participative avec un haut niveau d'engagement personnel de la part de la population. En plus d'une étroite coopération avec les autorités éducatives locales dans les régions du programme, les municipalités et les représentants des parents seront impliqués dans la mise en uvre du programme. Une innovation dans la fourniture de matériel didactique est le "Catalogue de l'éducation", qui peut être utilisé pour sélectionner divers outils pédagogiques tels qu'une bibliothèque scolaire, des manuels scolaires bilingues, des radios et du matériel audio, du matériel pour les cours d'alphabétisation, etc. Le "Catalogue de l'éducation" est un outil innovant pour fournir du matériel didactique. Ces options favorisent l'autodétermination dans la politique éducative au niveau local et étendent le groupe cible aux parents et aux villageois. La présence des enseignants en classe doit être contrôlée par les conseils parents-élèves.

Programm Dezentralisierung / kommunale Entwicklung  Prog.d&apos investissement e.d.Capacitation p.l. Collectivités Territoriales p.l. Décentralsation et la Bonne Gouvernance. Das Vorhaben ist Teil des deutsch-nigrischen Schwerpunktprogramms "Dezentralisierung und gute Regierungsführung" und ist in enger Verzahnung mit den entsprechenden TZ-Aktivitäten auf die Stärkung zentraler Institutionen des nigrischen Dezentralisierungsprozesses ausgerichtet. Dadurch sollen diese Institutionen befähigt werden, die ihnen übertragenen Aufgaben effektiver und effizienter zu erfüllen. Das Programm beinhaltet deshalb die Verbesserung der lokalen öffentlichen Dienstleistungen mit einem Schwerpunkt auf kommunalen Infrastrukturinvestitionen in den drei Programmregionen (Komponente I), die Verbesserung des Aus- und Fortbildungsangebots für die lokalen Gebietskörperschaften im Bereich Planung, Bau, Betrieb und Wartung kommunaler Infrastruktur (Komponente II) sowie die Unterstützung für den Aufbau des nationalen Transfermechanismus ANFICT (Komponente III). Damit werden die investiven und investitionsbegleitenden Aktivitäten des bisherigen FZ-Engagements "Kommunaler Investitionsfonds FICOD I-III" innovativ und unter Einbeziehung der neu geschaffenen Regionen weitergeführt und die Konsolidierung der fiskalischen Dezentralisierung durch die Einführung des nationalen Transfersystems vorbereitet. ŒDie Gesamtkosten des als offenes Programm konzipierten Vorhabens belaufen sich auf rd. 29 Mio. Euro, die über den zur Verfügung stehenden FZ-Zuschuss in Höhe von 28,5 Mio. Euro sowie einen nigrischen Eigenbeitrag in Höhe von rd. 0,5 Mio. Euro finanziert werden sollen.  Le projet fait partie du programme germano-nigérian "Décentralisation et bonne gouvernance" et, en étroite coordination avec les activités de la CT allemande, vise à renforcer les institutions centrales du processus de décentralisation au Niger.

Programm Dezentralisierung u. gute Regierungsführung-Investition- und Förderungsprogramm zur Kommunalentwicklung (PICCT)  Programme d&apos Investissement et de Capacitation pour les Collectivités Territoriales II (PICCT II). Das Vorhaben ordnet sich in den deutschen EZ-Schwerpunkt "Dezentralisierung und gute Regierungsführung" ein und versteht sich als Fortführung der laufenden, ersten Phase des Programme d'Investissement et de Capacitation pour les Collectivités Territoriales (PICCT I) der deutsch-nigrischen Finanziellen Zusammenarbeit und baut auf dessen Erfahrungen und Ergebnissen auf. Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist weiterhin die nachhaltige Nutzung der gemäß den Bedürfnissen der Bevölkerung bereitgestellten Infrastruktur und damit eine Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen in den Regionen Tillabéri, Tahoua und Agadez. Die begünstigten Kommunen stellen an den Bedürfnissen der Bevölkerung ausgerichtete soziale, ökonomische und administrative Infrastruktur bereit (Komponente I) und bauen die dafür erforderlichen Kapazitäten mit Hilfe (1.) der praktischen Begleitung durch den erfahrenen Projektträger Fonds d'Investissement des Collectivités Décentralisées (FICOD) sowie (2.) der verbesserten Aus- und Fortbildungsangebote des nationalen Ausbildungszentrums für lokale Gebietskörperschaften (Centre de Formation en Gestion des Collectivités Territoriales, CFGCT) auf (Komponente II). Mittelfristig können die Gebietskörperschaften, insbesondere die Regionalverwaltungen, zur Finanzierung von öffentlicher Infrastruktur auf einen handlungsfähigen, nationalen Transfermechanismus zugreifen (Komponente III). Durch eine geplante zeitliche Überschneidung der Umsetzung von PICCT I und II sollen Synergien und Effizienzgewinne genutzt werden.  Le projet s'inscrit dans le cadre prioritaire de la coopération de développement allemande "Décentralisation et bonne gouvernance" et s'inscrit dans la continuité de la première phase en cours du Programme d'Investissement et de Capacitation pour les Collectivités Territoriales (PICCT I) de la CF. L'objectif du projet reste l'utilisation durable des infrastructures mises à disposition en fonction des besoins de la population et donc l'amélioration des conditions de vie dans les régions de Tillabéri, Tahoua et Agadez. Les municipalités bénéficiaires mettront en place des infrastructures sociales, économiques et administratives adaptées aux besoins de la population (composante I) et renforceront les capacités nécessaires avec l'aide (1) du promoteur, le Fonds d'Investissement des Collectivités Décentralisées (FICOD) et (2) du Centre de Formation en Gestion des Collectivités Territoriales (CFGCT) (composante II) pour améliorer la formation. À moyen terme, les collectivités locales et régionales, en particulier les administrations régionales, auront accès à un mécanisme national de transfert efficace pour financer les infrastructures publiques (composante III). Les synergies et les gains d'efficacité doivent être exploités grâce à un chevauchement prévu dans la mise en uvre des années PICCT I et II (2013-2018).

Programm ländliche Entwicklung und produktive Landwirtschaft - Ernährungssicherung und Kleinbewässerung (PISA II)  Programme Développement rural et agriculture productive- Promotion de la Petite Irrigation et de la Securité Alimentaire. Kernproblem ŒDie landwirtschaftliche Produktivität auf der ackerbaulich nutzbaren Fläche im Niger ist vielerorts unzureichend, da ein Großteil der stark schwankenden Niederschlagsmengen mangels Infrastruktur zur Wasserrückhaltung ungenutzt abfließt und außerdem die Infrastruktur zur Bewässerung mit Grundwasser insgesamt zu wenig ausgebaut ist. Œ ŒModulziel ŒErhöhung der Produktion und Einkommen von Kleinlandwirten und Viehhaltern sowie Verbesserung der Voraussetzungen für die nachhaltige und klimaintelligente Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen in den Programmregionen Tillabéri, Tahoua und Agadez. Œ ŒWesentliche Outputs Œ- Maßnahmen zu besserem Wassermanagement und Bodenerosionsschutz. Œ- Verbesserung der Betriebsmittel-, Lagerhaltungs- und Vermarktungsinfrastruktur. Œ- Ausbau der Viehwirtschaftsinfrastruktur. Œ- Begleitende Beratung für die Landwirte und Kommunen. Œ ŒZielgruppe ŒDie Zielgruppe ist die mehrheitlich arme, in der Landwirtschaft tätige Bevölkerung der drei Programmregionen Tillabéri, Tahoua und Agadez. Œ ŒBeitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030 ŒDas Modul leistet durch die klimaintelligente und ressourcenschonende Steigerung der Produktion kleiner landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe einen Beitrag zur nationalen Umsetzung der Agenda 2030. Insbesondere bezüglich der nachhaltigen Entwicklungsziele 1 ("Armut in jeder Form und überall beenden"), 2 ("Den Hunger beenden, Ernährungssicherheit und eine bessere Ernährung erreichen und eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft fördern"), 13 ("Umgehend Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels und seiner Auswirkungen ergreifen") und 15 ("Landökosysteme schützen, wiederherstellen und ihre nachhaltige Nutzung fördern, Wälder nachhaltig bewirtschaften, Wüstenbildung bekämpfen, Bodenverschlechterung stoppen und umkehren und den Biodiversitätsverlust stoppen").  Enjeu central ŒLa productivité agricole sur les surfaces cultivables au Niger est insuffisante en de nombreux endroits, car une grande partie des précipitations très variables s'écoule sans être utilisée, faute d'infrastructures de rétention d'eau, et de plus, l'infrastructure d'irrigation par les eaux souterraines est globalement trop peu développée. Œ ŒRésultats immédiats ŒAugmentation de la production et des revenus des petits agriculteurs et éleveurs et amélioration des conditions pour une utilisation durable et intelligente des ressources naturelles dans les régions du programme de Tillabéri, Tahoua et Agadez. Œ ŒExtrants principaux Œ- Mesures visant à améliorer la gestion de l'eau et la protection contre l'érosion des sols.

Programm Reproduktive Gesundheit  Programme de la Santé Reproductive. Das FZ-Programm "Förderung der Reproduktiven Gesundheit" stellt die erste Phase eines mit FZ-Mitteln finanzierten Neuvorhabens dar, das im Niger im Gestaltungsspielraum Gesundheit implementiert wird. Es knüpft an das langjährige Engagement der FZ im Sektor an (Familienpla-nung und HIV-AIDS-Prävention, Phasen I bis VI, 2003 - 2018). Œ ŒObwohl bereits sichtbare Verbesserungen in den vergangenen Jahren erzielt wurden, bleiben die Themen Reproduktive Gesundheit und Familienplanung bei durchschnittlich über7 Geburten pro Frau und einer in diesem Zusammenhang noch immer hohen Rate an schwangerschaftsbe-dingten Komplikationen von zentraler Bedeutung für die nigrische Gesundheitspolitik. Eine Müt-tersterblichkeit mit 630/100.000 und die Säuglingssterblichkeit mit 24/1.000 bestätigen die be-sorgniserregende Situation. Grund dafür ist die weiterhin prekäre Situation der Gesundheitsver-sorgung der Bevölkerung: die vorhandene Infrastruktur ist in desolatem Zustand, es fehlt an Medikamenten und ausreichend qualifiziertem Personal. Vor allem im ländlichen Raum ist die Abdeckung mit medizinischer Versorgung (die sog. couverture sanitaire) mit im Durchschnitt weniger als 45 % unzureichend. An dieser Problematik setzt das Vorhaben an: Durch ergebnis-orientierte Erstattungen von Gesundheitsdienstleistungen (Results based financing  RBF, Kom-ponente 1) sowie den Ausbau, die Rehabilitierung und die Ausstattung von Gesundheitseinrich-tungen (Komponente 2) werden das Angebot von und die Nachfrage nach hochwertigen Dienst-leistungen der Reproduktiven Gesundheit gefördert. Dadurch soll zur Verbesserung der Ge-sundheit von Müttern und Neugeborenen in Niger beigetragen werden. Ergänzend dazu soll über gezielte Sensibilisierungs- und Kommunikationsmaßnahmen an ausgewählten Primar- und Sekundarschulen sowie in angrenzenden Dörfern (gemeindebasierte Distribution und Kommu-nikation DBC/ CCC) die Nachfrage nach Dienstleistungen der reproduktiven Gesundheit und Familienplanung erhöht werden (Komponente 3). Aus- und Fortbildung von Gesundheitsmitar-beitern, Verwaltern und Lehrern, sowie von Mitarbeitern von lokalen NROs sind in allen drei Komponenten Teil der Maßnahmenpakete (Querschnittsthema). Œ ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist in der ersten Phase die Bevölkerung in Tillabéri. Zentraler Fokus liegt dabei auf Frauen im gebärfähigen Alter (rund 600.000) und Neugeborenen sowie auf Ju-gendlichen an Primar- und Sekundarschulen. Träger des Vorhabens ist das Gesundheitsminis-terium (Ministère de la Santé Publique  MSP), das die Durchführung an die Regionaldirektion für Gesundheit (Direction Regionale de la Santé Publique (DRSP)) von Tillabéri delegiert. Sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf regionaler Ebene wird ein FZ-Durchführungsconsultant die Umset-zung des Vorhabens eng begleiten und unterstützen. Das FZ-Vorhaben hat ein Volumen von EUR 27 Mio. und soll in einem Zeitraum von 4 bis 5 Jahren umgesetzt werden. Œ  Le programme de CF "Promotion de la santé reproductive" représente la première phase d'un nouveau projet financé par des fonds de la CF, qui doit être mis en uvre au Niger avec une marge de man uvre en matière de santé. Il fait suite à de nombreuses années d'engagement de la CF dans le secteur (planification familiale et prévention du VIH/SIDA, phases I à VI, 2003 - 2018). Bien que des améliorations visibles aient déjà été réalisées ces dernières années, les questions de santé reproductive et de planification familiale restent d'une importance capitale pour la politique sanitaire nigérienne, avec une moyenne d'environ 8 naissances par femme et un taux toujours élevé de complications liées à la grossesse dans ce contexte. Un taux de mortalité maternelle de 630/100 000 et un taux de mortalité infantile de 24/1 000 confirment cette situation préoccupante. La raison pour cela est due à la situation toujours précaire du système de santé : l'infrastructure existante est dans un état désolant, il y a un manque de médicaments et de personnel suffisamment qualifié. En particulier dans les zones rurales, la couverture médicale (dite couverture sanitaire) est insuffisante avec moins de 45% en moyenne. Le projet s'attaque à ce problème : Le financement axé sur les résultats (composante 1) et l'expansion, la remise en état et l'équipement des établissements de santé (composante 2) favorisent l'offre et la demande de services de santé génésique de qualité. Cela devrait contribuer à améliorer la santé des mères et des nouveau-nés au Niger. En outre, des mesures ciblées de sensibilisation et de communication dans certaines écoles primaires et secondaires et dans les villages voisins (distribution et communication communautaires DBC/CCC) visent à accroître la demande de services de santé procréative et de planification familiale (composante 3). L'éducation et la formation des agents de santé, des administrateurs et des enseignants, ainsi que du personnel des ONG locales font partie des paquets de mesures dans les trois composantes (thème transversal). Dans la première phase, le groupe cible du projet est la population de Tillabéri. L'accent est mis sur les femmes en âge de procréer (environ 600 000) et les nouveau-nés, ainsi que sur les jeunes dans les écoles primaires et secondaires. L'agence d'exécution du projet est le Ministère de la Santé Publique (MSP), qui délègue la mise en uvre à la Direction Régionale de la Santé Publique (DRSP) de Tillabéri. Aux niveaux national et régional, un consultant suivra de près et soutiendra la mise en uvre du projet.

Bildungs- und Beschäftigungsförderung  Programme de Promotion de l&apos Education et de l&apos Emploi. Das übergeordnete entwicklungspolitische Ziel (Wirkungs-Ebene) des FZ-Eilvorhabens "Programm Bildungs- und Beschäftigungsförderung" (frz.: Programme de Promotion de l'Education et de l'Emploi, PP2E) ist, die Lebensbedingungen und lokalen Entwicklungsperspektiven der Bevölkerung in der Region Agadez, trotz des ökonomischen Verlusts durch die staatliche Beschränkung der Schleuserökonomie, zu verbessern und zur Stabilität der Region beizutragen. Modulziel des FZ-Vorhabens ist, dass die Bevölkerung in der Programmregion Agadez (Zielgruppe) einen verbesserten Zugang zu Basisdienstleistungen wie Märkten, Bildungs- und Verkehrsinfrastruktur nutzt sowie legale Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten annimmt. Die Programmmaßnahmen umfassen die Bereitstellung von Finanzierungsmitteln für den Bau und die Ausstattung von Wirtschaftsinfrastruktur, wie z.B. Märkten, Lagerhallen, Ladenzeilen (Komponente 1), Primar- und Sekundarschulen (Komponente 2), und ländlichen, interkommunalen Pisten (Komponente 3). Die Komponente Schulbau soll zur Einschulung von zusätzlich ca. 6.000 Kindern und verbesserten Unterrichtsbedingungen für 76.000 Schülerinnen und Schüler führen. ŒDer Bau der Infrastruktur erfolgt arbeitsintensiv, um Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensmöglichkeiten für die Zielgruppe zu schaffen. Ca. 3.500 Menschen werden beschäftigt. Die Projekteinheit PP2E in Agadez, unter Leitung des Trägers Premierministeramt, ist für die Begleitung der Gebietskörperschaften und staatlichen Stellen bei der Planung und Umsetzung der vorgesehenen Einzelinvestitionen zuständig und seit Oktober 2017 operativ.  L'objectif primordial de développement du projet d'urgence "Programme de Promotion de l'Education et de l'Emploi" (PP2E) est d'améliorer les conditions de vie et les perspectives de développement local de la population d'Agadez et de contribuer à la stabilité régionale, malgré la perte économique causée par la restriction de l'économie clandestine par l'état. L'objectif du projet de CF est que la population de la région d'Agadez (groupe cible) bénéficie d'un meilleur accès aux services de base (marchés, éducation, infrastructure de transport) et qu'elle accepte des possibilités d'emploi légales. Les mesures du programme comprennent le financement pour la construction et l'équipement d'infrastructures économiques telles que des marchés, des entrepôts, des rangées de magasins (composante 1), des écoles primaires et secondaires (composante 2) et des pistes rurales et intercommunales (composante 3). La composante concernant la construction scolaire devrait permettre la scolarisation de 6 000 enfants supplémentaires et l'amélioration les conditions de 76 000 élèves déja scolarisés. ŒLa construction de l'infrastructure est à forte intensité de main-d' uvre afin de créer des emplois et des possibilités de revenus pour le groupe cible. Environ 3 500 personnes seront employées. Le Programme, operationelle depuis octobre 2017, PP2E à Agadez, dirigée par le Cabinet du Premier ministre, est chargée d'aider les autorités locales à planifier et à réaliser les investissements individuels prévus.  Die Bevölkerung nutzt einen verbesserten Zugang zu Basisdienstleistungen wie Märkten, Bildungs- und Verkehrsinfrastruktur und geht verstärkt legaler Beschäftigung nach.

L'objectif du projet de CF est que la population de la région d'Agadez (groupe cible) bénéficie d'un meilleur accès aux services de base (marchés, éducation, infrastructure de transport) et qu'elle accepte des possibilités d'emploi légales. Les mesures du programme comprennent le financement pour la construction et l'équipement d'infrastructures économiques telles que des marchés, des entrepôts, des rangées de magasins (composante 1), des écoles primaires et secondaires (composante 2) et des pistes rurales et intercommunales (composante 3). La composante concernant la construction scolaire devrait permettre la scolarisation de 6 000 enfants supplémentaires et l'amélioration les conditions de 76 000 élèves déja scolarisés. ŒLa construction de l'infrastructure est à forte intensité de main-d' uvre afin de créer des emplois et des possibilités de revenus pour le groupe cible. Environ 3 500 personnes seront employées. Le Programme, operationelle depuis octobre 2017, PP2E à Agadez, dirigée par le Cabinet du Premier ministre, est chargée d'aider les autorités locales à planifier et à réaliser les investissements individuels prévus.

Programm Dezentralisierung und kommunale Entwicklung, PICCT III  Programme de formation et de communication, PICCT III. Das FZ-Vorhaben PICCT III setzt die Vorgängerphasen PICCT I (BMZ-Nr. 2012 66 923) und PICCT II (BMZ-Nr. 2014 67 208) fort. Durch die Fortführung der Finanzierung von Infrastrukturvorhaben in kommunaler Bauherrenschaft über den "Fonds d'Investissement des Collectivités Décentralisées" fördert das Modul lokale Kapazitäten in Planung und Bau von kommunaler Infrastruktur und verbessert den Zugang der meist ländlichen Bevölkerung zu Basisdienstleistungen. Durch die partizipative Planung, Betrieb und Wartung durch lokale Nutzergruppen werden die Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten der Bürgerinnen und Bürger erweitert und gestärkt. Durch die Infrastrukturfinanzierung über den nationalen Transfermechanismus "Agence de Financement des Collectivités Territoriales" werden überdies dessen technische und finanziellee Kapazitäten gestärkt und transparente Finanztransferverfahren vorangetrieben (Komponente II). Das kommunale und regionale Personal und die Gewählten profitieren von den nachfrageorientierten Aus- und Fortbildungen des Ausbildungszentrums für die territorialen Gebietskörperschaften "Centre de Formation en Gestion des Collectivités Territoriales".  Le projet PICCT III s'inscrit dans la continuité des phases précédentes PICCT I (BMZ n° 2012 66 923) et PICCT II (BMZ n° 2014 67 208). En continuant à financer des projets d'infrastructures municipales par le biais du Fonds d'Investissement des Collectivités Décentralisées, le module favorise les capacités locales en matière de planification et de construction des infrastructures municipales et améliore l'accès aux services de base pour la population majoritairement rurale. Grâce à la planification, à l'exploitation et à l'entretien participatifs par les groupes d'utilisateurs locaux, les possibilités de participation des citoyens sont élargies et renforcées. Le financement des infrastructures par le biais de l'Agence de Financement des Collectivités Territoriales renforce également ses capacités techniques et financières et favorise la transparence des procédures de transfert financier (Volet II). Les agents locaux et régionaux et les élus bénéficient de la formation à la demande dispensée par le Centre de Formation en Gestion des Collectivités Territoriales.

Familienplanung und Sensibilisierung (ANIMAS), Phase I  planification familiale et sensibilisation, phase I. Das übergeordnete entwicklungspolitische Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Verbesserung der sexuellen und reproduktiven Gesundheit und Rechte (SRGR) der nigrischen Bevölkerung durch die Vermeidung ungeplanter Schwangerschaften und die Vergrößerung der Geburtenabstände sowie die Verringerung von sexuell übertragbaren Infektionen, insbesondere HIV. Das Programm richtet sich mit der HIV-Komponente an HIV-Risikogruppen, wie Fernfahrer oder Prostituierte und im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens erstmalig auch an Migranten. Œ ŒDas FZ-Vorhaben wird über die lokale Social Marketing Agentur ANIMAS-SUTURA durchgeführt, die sich in den vergangenen Jahren als dynamische und verlässliche Durchführungsorganisation für Social Marketing Vorhaben zur Familienplanung und HIV-Prävention etabliert hat und mit FZ-Mitteln gefördert wurde. Œ ŒDie Projektmaßnahmen umfassen folgende Elemente: (1) einen verstärkten Fokus der Zusammenarbeit auf jungen Menschen besonders an Primar- und Sekundarschulen, (2) ein neuer Fokus auf Migranten und aufnehmenden Gemeinden, (3) Maßnahmen um einen längeren Schulbesuch für Mädchen zu begünstigen, (4) die Ausweitung der bestehenden Interventionen auf Agadez und Tahoua bei Fortführung der Aktivitäten in bestehenden Projektregionen (Tillabéry und Maradi) und (5) die weitere institutionelle und finanzielle Konsolidierung von ANIMAS-SUTURA. Dadurch soll das FZ-Maßnahmenziel einer verstärkten Nutzung von Kondomen und modernen Kontrazeptiva sowie eine beobachtbare Verhaltensänderung der Zielgruppen im Hinblick auf selbstbestimmte Familienplanung, HIV-AIDS-Prävention und Kinderehen erreicht werden. Œ ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist in erster Linie die Bevölkerung im reproduktiven Alter (15-49 Jahre) mit besonderem Fokus auf Migranten sowie jugendlichen Mädchen und Schülerinnen. Das FZ-Vorhaben hat ein Volumen von 12,0 Mio. EUR und soll sich über vier Jahre von Mitte 2017 bis Mitte 2021 erstrecken. Das Neuvorhaben knüpft an das laufende Vorhaben Familienplanung und HIV-AIDS-Prävention VI (201468529) an, das ebenfalls seit 2003 über ANIMAS-SUTURA umgesetzt wird, stellt dieses aber in den neuen Kontext der Migrationsbekämpfung.  L'objectif de développement primordial de la mesure de la CF est d'améliorer la santé et les droits sexuels de la population nigérienne en prévenant les grossesses non planifiées et en augmentant l'intervalle entre les naissances, ainsi qu'en réduisant les infections sexuellement transmissibles, notamment le VIH. La composante VIH du programme s'adresse aux groupes à risque tels que les conducteurs à longue distance ou les prostituées et, pour la première fois, aux migrants dans le cadre de ce projet. Œ ŒLe projet de la CF est mis en uvre par l'agence locale de marketing social ANIMAS-SUTURA, qui s'est imposée ces dernières années comme une organisation dynamique et fiable de mise en uvre de projets de marketing social pour la planification familiale et la prévention du VIH et qui a bénéficié de fonds de la CF. Œ ŒLes mesures du projet comprennent les éléments suivants : (1) un renforcement de la coopération en faveur des jeunes, en particulier dans les écoles primaires et secondaires, (2) un nouvel accent sur les migrants et les communautés d'accueil, (3) des mesures visant à promouvoir une scolarisation plus longue des filles, (4) l'extension des interventions existantes à Agadez et Tahoua tout en poursuivant les activités dans les régions concernées (Tillabéry et Maradi) et (5) la consolidation institutionnelle et financière accrue du projet ANIMAS-SUTURA. Il s'agit d'atteindre l'objectif, à savoir une utilisation accrue des préservatifs et des contraceptifs modernes, ainsi qu'un changement observable dans le comportement des groupes cibles en matière de planification familiale autodéterminée, de prévention du VIH-sida et de mariages d'enfants. Œ ŒLe groupe cible du projet est principalement la population en âge de procréer (15-49 ans) avec un accent particulier sur les migrants, les jeunes filles et les écolières.

Reproduktive Gesundheit III  Programme de Santé Réproductive III. Das FZ-Programm ist die dritte Phase des Vorhaben "Förderung der Reproduktiven Gesundheit", welcher an das langjährige Engagement der FZ im Sektor anknüpft (Familienplanung und HIV-AIDS-Prävention, Phasen I bis VI, 2003 - 2018). Œ ŒObwohl bereits sichtbare Verbesserungen in den vergangenen Jahren erzielt wurden, bleiben die Themen Reproduktive Gesundheit und Familienplanung bei durchschnittlich rund 8 Geburten pro Frau und einer in diesem Zusammenhang noch immer hohen Rate an schwanger-schaftsbedingten Komplikationen von zentraler Bedeutung für die nigrische Gesundheitspolitik. Eine Müttersterblichkeit mit 630/100.000 und eine Säuglingssterblichkeit mit 24/1.000 bestätigen die besorgniserregende Situation. Grund dafür ist die weiterhin prekäre Situation der Gesund-heitsversorgung der Bevölkerung: die vorhandene Infrastruktur ist in desolatem Zustand, es fehlt an Medikamenten und ausreichend qualifiziertem Personal. Vor allem im ländlichen Raum ist die Abdeckung mit medizinischer Versorgung (die sog. couverture sanitaire) mit im Durchschnitt weniger als 45 % unzureichend. An dieser Problematik setzt das Vorhaben an: Durch ergebnis-orientierte Erstattungen von Gesundheitsdienstleistungen (Results based financing  RBF, Kom-ponente 1) sowie den Ausbau, die Rehabilitierung und die Ausstattung von Gesundheitseinrich-tungen (Komponente 2) werden das Angebot von und die Nachfrage nach hochwertigen Dienst-leistungen der Reproduktiven Gesundheit gefördert. Dadurch soll zur Verbesserung der Ge-sundheit von Müttern und Neugeborenen in Niger beigetragen werden. Ergänzend dazu soll über gezielte Sensibilisierungs- und Kommunikationsmaßnahmen an ausgewählten Primar- und Sekundarschulen sowie in angrenzenden Dörfern (gemeindebasierte Distribution und Kommu-nikation DBC/ CCC) die Nachfrage nach Dienstleistungen der reproduktiven Gesundheit und Familienplanung erhöht werden (Komponente 3). Aus- und Fortbildung von Gesundheitsmitar-beitern, Verwaltern und Lehrern, sowie von Mitarbeitern von lokalen NROs sind in allen drei Komponenten Teil der Maßnahmenpakete (Querschnittsthema). Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist in der ersten Phase die Bevölkerung in Tillabéri. Zentraler Fokus liegt dabei auf Frauen im ge-bärfähigen Alter (rund 600.000) und Neugeborenen sowie auf Jugendlichen an Primar- und Se-kundarschulen. Œ ŒTräger des Vorhabens ist das Gesundheitsministerium (Ministère de la Santé Publique  MSP), das die Durchführung an die Regionaldirektion für Gesundheit (Direction Regionale de la Santé Publique (DRSP)) von Tillabéri delegiert. Sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf regionaler Ebene wird ein FZ-Durchführungsconsultant die Umsetzung des Vorhabens eng begleiten und unter-stützen. In der dritten Phase des Vorhabens wird vor allem die Komponente 1 finanziert, (Result Based Financing), damit Gesundheitsdienstleistungen in der ganze Region Tillabéri erstattet werden können.

Hydropower Cascade Vorotan. Under the planned FC measure, comprehensive rehabilitation work is being carried out on the outdated and worn electromechanical equipment of the three power plants in the Vorotan power cascade. The power stations went into operation between 1970 and 1989. The total installed capacity of the three power plants of the Vorotan cascade amounts to about 404 MW. Together with the power plants of the Sevan-Hrazdan cascade (560 MW) they form the backbone of hydropower-based electricity generation in Armenia. Œ ŒThe renewal and rehabilitation measures are intended to ensure reliable operation in the long term. The objective of the FC measure is to contribute to improving the power supply from a qualitative (use of the domestic potential of renewable energies) and quantitative point of view (securing or increasing the generation capacity). With regard to the intended synchronous operation of the Armenian interconnected system with the neighboring countries, the benefits expected from the implementation of the measure will also benefit the neighboring countries. Consequently, the project contributes to economic growth, to improving the living conditions and to environmental and climate protection (overall developmental objective). The target group are all consumers connected to the Armenian network, especially the inhabitants of the provinces of Syunik and Vayots Dzor in south-eastern Armenia. Œ ŒThe borrower is the Republic of Armenia, represented by the Ministry of Finance. The obligations of the promoter were transferred from the state-owned power plant operator Vorotan Cascade CJSC to the private investor ContourGlobal Hydro Cascade CJSC in December 2016. Œ ŒOf the total investment volume of around EUR 53.9 million, FC financing amounts to up to EUR 51 million. This total amount consists of a mixed financing (EUR 29 million) and a low-interest loan (EUR 22 million). The Armenian side's own contribution is around EUR 2.9 million.

Caucasus Transmission Network I (Transmission Lines Armenia-Georgia/Substations). The entire Caucasus Energy Network project was originally divided into three phases. The first phase comprises the expansion of the Armenian transmission grid and the connection to the Georgian electricity grid through the construction of a high-voltage direct-current transmission short coupling (HVDC) at the system transition to Georgia. In the second phase, the further expansion of the grid is to take place through the construction of a 400 kV transmission line and the 400/220 kV D'd-mashen transformer station as well as the modernization of two smaller transmission lines. The third phase will be used to add another module to the HGKK and connect new power plant capacities in the Vanadzor region. The current FC commitment is limited to phases 1 and 2, and the FC measures are restricted to the Armenian territory. Œ ŒThe objective of the FC measure is to create a stable asynchronous grid operation between Armenia and Georgia in order to enable a reliable exchange of electricity not only between Armenia and Georgia but also with the other countries in the region (regional interconnection system) and thus contribute to improving the security and quality of supply, especially in Armenia. In this way, the measure contributes to a more efficient use of generation capacities and a safe and reliable coverage of energy needs in both countries and the Caucasus region in line with the German Federal Government's Caucasus Initiative and the EU Neighborhood Policy and supports the further economic and social development of both countries.

MIFA Debt Fund - Renewable Energy. In line with the objectives of the MIFA Initiative, the MIFA Debt Fund is intended to support commercially sustainable MFIs in their efforts to improve the supply of needs-based microfinance products, especially for poor sections of the population in Asia. This expansion of FC participation will additionally refinance the financing of domestic RE systems through microfinance institutions. Domestic RE systems generate environmentally friendly energy, especially for lighting, cooling and cooking purposes as well as for telecommunications (cell phone, radio, television). Thus, RE systems improve the living conditions of rural households by reducing health hazards from smoke and exhaust fumes, reducing workload, and increasing income. Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) benefit from increased productivity and resource efficiency. In addition, the environment is relieved through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reduced biomass use and thus protection of forests and increase in soil quality (biomass remains on the ground and fulfills natural fertilizer function). The funds from the MIFA Debt Fund help to close financing gaps on the part of the users of RE systems, to introduce MFIs to these technologies and to support their further dissemination via an offer of earmarked microloans.

National Rural Water Sup/Sanitation Prog. The project focuses on the establishment of a joint financing mechanism (basket funding) for the implementation of the National Rural Water and Sanitation Sector Reform Programme (NRWSSP). The Ministry of Water Development and Sanitation (MWDS) acts as the project-executing agency and forwards the FC contribution provided by the Ministry of Finance to the district administrations. They use it to finance services such as bore wells and decentralised sanitation measures that are coordinated within the framework of work and cost planning. Furthermore, the FC implementation consultant supports the central and decentralised administrative structures in planning, budgeting and implementing project measures in the rural water sector. The aim is to improve the rural population's access to water and sanitation and at the same time strengthen the capacities of the institutions responsible for rural water supply. In terms of development policy, the project thus contributes to improving the health of the population and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), as well as to the assumption of services by the decentralised local structures in the context of decentralisation. All financed measures are part of the NRWSSP service catalogue agreed between the Zambian government and donors.

Support of the quality infrastructure in Serbia. Although the Serbian QI institutions have a long tradition and good technical expertise, there is a lack of stable framework conditions to maintain and develop this expertise. Growing tasks in the course of EU convergence have not yet been reflected in correspondingly adjusted budgets and staffing. Frequent changes in staff lead to even the level already achieved in the past being jeopardised again. Political decisions are often not made on the basis of professional assessment and necessity.
In October 2015, the Serbian government adopted the Strategy for Strengthening QI in Serbia in 2015-2020 (QI Strategy), which is based on relevant Serbian strategies such as the Industrial Development Strategy 2011-2020, the Market Surveillance Strategy or the SME Strategy 2015-2020 and includes all elements of QI. However, the appropriate resources have not yet been made available to implement the strategy comprehensively. 
Future access to the EU internal market holds many opportunities for a new EU member state, but also risks, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The relative competitiveness of Serbian SMEs and their products is still low, although progress has been made in recent years.  The capacities of the Serbian Quality Infrastructure system to meet domestic and European legal and market requirements have been strengthened

Strengthening the Social Infrastructure in Communities under Stress due to the Migrant Crisis II. The project aims at strengthening structurally weak Serbian municipalities in the current migrant crisis by investing in the social and economic infrastructure. The project's focus will be on municipalities affected by migrants in transit as well as on structurally weak municipalities from which migrants originate. By improving social infrastructure services and thus the humanitarian situation for the local population and vulnerable groups in the respective municipalities, the incentive to emigrate will be reduced. Locations and investment measures will be chosen - as is the case in phase I - in accordance with the respective needs. Measures e.g. comprise: construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of nursery schools, schools, youth education centers, healthcare institutions, public spaces and parks, the procurement of waste collection vehicles and medical equipment, as well as the development of public transport and social housing. As a soft measure, the assignment of social workers/mentors targets the access of vulnerable groups (in particular Roma) to related public services and social inclusion.

Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings and Renewable Energies in the District Heating Sector (Greening the Public Sector). The FC project is the energy renovation and rehabilitation of the largest and most important hospital in Serbia, the Military Medical Academy (VMA) in Belgrade. The VMA has around 1200 beds and covers an area of around 180,000m² and 15 floors. The hospital is owned by the Serbian Ministry of Defence (MoD). However, the services of the VMA are mainly for civilians (90% of all treatments). Œ ŒAfter 38 years of operation without any significant renovations, the buildings and facilities of the VMA have reached the end of their lifespan. Hospital-specific standards (e.g. hygiene, fire safety), which are common in the EU, are insufficiently met. The hospital's electricity consumption is about twice and water consump-tion four times as high compared to hospitals in the Federal Republic of Germany. The steam loss on the 1.5 km long pipeline between the hospital's own gas-fired local heating plant and the building is 25% on average and around 40% on winter days. Against this background, an energetic renovation of the VMA is urgently needed and will lead to high energy savings. Œ ŒCompared to other energy efficiency measures in public buildings, the renovation measures during uninterrupted hospital operation are to be classified as more challenging, multi-layered and complex than average. The renovation is to be carried out in stages, on the one hand to ensure the operability of this system-relevant hospital, and on the other hand to spread the investment burden over several budget years.

Erneuerbare Energien  Energías Renovables. Durch die Finanzierung von netzunabhängigen Kleinwasserkraftwerken (KWKW) in abgelegenen Gegenden soll ein Beitrag zur sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung ländlicher Gebiete geleistet werden (übergeordnetes entwicklungspolitisches Ziel). Neben der Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen armer Bevölkerungsschichten sollen auch gewerbliche und produktive Unternehmen gefördert werden (Ziel FZ-Maßnahme). Die nachhaltige Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energiequellen wird zudem zu einer Reduzierung von Umwelt- und Gesundheitsbelastungen führen. Das Vorhaben ist als offenes Programm konzipiert, wobei ursprünglich insgesamt 17 KWKW geplant waren. Der Betrieb der KWKW erfolgt durch kommunale Betreibergesellschaften. Das ursprüngliche Projektkonzept hat sich jedoch nicht bewährt, da auf Gemeindeebene keine hinreichenden Umsetzungs- und Betreiberstrukturen bestehen. Mit entsprechenden Anpassungen im Programmdesign, wurde der Fokus weg von dezentralen Betreibergesellschaften hin zu einer Zusammenarbeit mit dem staatlichen Energieversorger ENDE und einer netzgebundenen, größeren Anlage gelegt. ŒEmpfänger des Zuschusses ist die Republik Bolivien und Programmträger das "Viceministerio de Electricidad y Energías Alternativas" (VMEEA) des "Ministerio de Energia". Insgesamt stehen aus FZ-Mitteln 5,1 Mio. EUR für die Finanzierung des Programms zur Verfügung.  Energías Renovables  Nachhaltige Nutzung von regenerativer Energie für konsumtive und produktive Zwecke in abgelegenen ländlichen Gebieten, die von dezentralen Betreibergesellschaften der Kleinwasserkraftwerke effizient bereitgestellt wird.

Bewässerungsprogramm Wasser und Klimawandel  Programa de Riego &quot Agua y Cambio Climático&quot . Aufgrund der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels werden sich in Bolivien die Niederschlagsmenge und -verteilung zum Nachteil der landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugung verändern. Ziel des Vorhabens ist, den Auswirkungen dieser Entwicklung durch die Verbesserung des landwirtschaftlichen Wassermanagements entgegenzuwirken. Œ ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die (vorwiegend arme) ländliche Bevölkerung in Regionen, die vom Klimawandel besonders betroffen sind. Träger des Vorhabens ist das Vizeministerium für Wasserressourcen und Bewässerung im bolivianischen Umwelt- und Wasserministerium. Die Projektabwicklung erfolgt über die Ausführungseinheit des Ministeriums (Entidad Ejecutora de Medio Ambiente y Agua - EMAGUA). Das Vorhaben arbeitet komplementär zum Plan Nacional de Riego (PNDR) sowie zum Plan Nacional de Cuencas (PNC), die ebenfalls von der deutschen EZ unterstützt werden. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens betragen EUR 16,68 Mio. Das Darlehen für die Umsetzung beträgt EUR 12,0 Mio. Die Eigenbeteiligung der Nutzer, des Trägers sowie der beteiligten Regionalregierungen und Gemeinden beträgt EUR 4,68 Mio. (entspricht ca. 28 % der Gesamtkosten). Œ ŒDas Vorhaben ist als offenes Programm in den Regionen Chuquisaca und Cochabamba angelegt. Die Spannbreite der möglichen Investitionen umfasst Bau und Rehabilitierung von Kleinstaudämmen und Kanalsystemen, Umstellung kleinbäuerlicher Produktionssysteme von Schwerkraftbewässerung auf Beregnung und Tröpfchenbewässerung, Verbesserung der Be-wässerungsorganisation sowie Ausbau von Wassererntesystemen (Water Harvesting) Die Wassernutzer werden für die spätere Übernahme der Betriebs- und Unterhaltungsverantwortung geschult und im ersten Jahr nach Fertigstellung der Bauwerke bei der Wahrnehmung dieser Aufgaben begleitet (BMZ Nr. 201370360).

Electro-mechanical rehabilitation of HPP Fierza. The Project includes rehabilitation measures to be carried out at the Fierza hydropower plant (HPP) in northern Albania. Fierza HPP is one of the three large state-owned hydropower plants along the Drin Cascade: Fierza, Komani and Vau I Dejes. With an installed capacity of 500 MW and an average annual generation of 1,328 GWh, it generates about a quarter of the domestically generated electricity. There have been insufficient investments in the state's power generation infrastructure in recent decades, with the result that important maintenance and expansion investments have not been made. The Fierza HPP was built more than 40 years ago and is now in a precarious condition, sometimes causing supply shortages with significant negative effects on the economy. Generation losses have to be compensated by expensive electricity imports from abroad and additional greenhouse gas emissions. The project is expected to address the most pressing problems regarding two severely outdated turbines and four generators and thus lead to an extension of the HPP's lifetime by at least 30 years as well as to an increase in the HPP's reliability, efficiency and capacity. The investment will ultimately make a positive contribution to ensuring that households and businesses can be reliably and cost-effectively supplied with electricity and that high electricity import prices do not have an increasing impact on either end-user prices or the state budget, thus weakening the current account balance. The project executing agency is the state-owned power generation company KESH. The target group of the project are all consumers connected to the power grid.

SME Support via Credit Guarantees (Corona). The Project expands the Albanian Development Guarantee Foundation (ADGF  formerly: Rural Credit Guarantee Foundation, RCGF) which provides credit guarantees to local banks and microfinance institutions for the benefit of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Albania. By providing partial coverage of credit risks, ADGF promotes access to adequate financing for MSMEs and entrepreneurs who want to invest but who are perceived as risky, for example because they have little collateral (such as real estate) to secure financing. Œ ŒThis follow-up phase to previous German and EU support for ADGF provides additional guarantee capital as well as technical assistance grants to counter the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Through this Covid-19 response, ADGF is enabled to provide flexible, concessional guarantee terms including higher risk coverage to maintain MSME access to finance despite increased uncertainty due to the pandemic. Under a new, thematic "Start-up Guarantee Window" this project enables ADGF to support recently registered MSMEs which are often perceived as particularly risky.

Strengthening of Metrology for the Improvement of Competitiveness in the Egyptian Economy (SMIC). With a rapidly growing population and a promising agricultural sector, Egypt has great potential for economic growth. However, the private sector is struggling to develop and create jobs due to an unstable financial and regulatory environment. The food processing sector faces the challenge of bringing its products to market because of a lack in metrological services in Egypt. Metrology services that meet the needs of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have been insufficiently offered by service providers in the Egyptian quality infrastructure.
This is what the project aims at, to support the Egyptian National Institute of Standards (NIS) in offering additional metrology services to its clients in the food processing sector. The concrete aim is to strengthen NIS’ capacities and of other state and private sector actors in the development and provision of metrological services to the food processing sector. This is done through technical consulting, training, organizational development and, above all, networking of the two sectors.
The main focus of the project is to improve the cooperation between NIS and its customers from the food processing sector, including other relevant actors, and to strengthen the metrological competences of NIS for the production of certified reference materials and for the performance of comparative measurements for food analysis.
Target groups of the project are employees of NIS and other QI service providers (mainly testing and calibration laboratories), MSMEs from the food processing sector, and consumers.
The project works primarily in Cairo and will define further partners, possibly beyond the capital, in coordination with the NIS.  The Egyptian National Institute of Standards (NIS) offers additional metrological services to its customers in the food processing sector

Sustainable Use of the Mineral Resource Potential of Namibia III. Namibia is rich in mineral resources, the mining sector is an important economic sector and raw materials contribute more than 50% to export earnings. With further positive development, this can result in higher tax revenues and employment and contribute to strengthening the Namibian economy as a whole. The Namibian mining sector thus has a high potential to reduce poverty in Namibia. The joint project of the Geological Survey of Namibia (GSN) and BGR aims to exploit the potential of raw materials for economic development. For this  purpose, it is essential that investors and political decision-makers have access to processed economic geological information as well as in-depth knowledge of opportunities for value creation in this sector. In addition to the public provision of information and products by means of digital information portals, a stronger cooperation with Namibian actors is aimed at, especially with local companies, investors, ministries, authorities as well as universities. Furthermore, practical training and further education measures will be carried out for the partner.  Economic geologically prepared information on raw materials and their value-added potential are used for investment decisions.

NamPost Microfinance Credit Line II - Promotion of MSE and disadvantaged households in coping with the corona crisis. Namibia suffers from a high level of financial exclusion, particularly in rural areas, which is caused by a lack of comprehensive offerings from the formal financial sector. This particularly affects micro and small businesses (MSEs) and private households with low incomes, which cannot be provided with urgently needed medium or long-term financial services. ŒThe project promotes non-discriminatory access to and a broader range of financial services for previously underserved customer groups, in particular MSEs and households with low incomes (financial inclusion). ŒThe FC measure proposed here is conceptually based on the previous program "Nam-Post Microfinance Credit Line to Promote Financial Inclusion for MSEs and Disadvantaged Households" (INPRO No. 40792 / BMZ No. 2017 68 423), which was approved in 2019 and has since been fully paid out . A follow-up phase was already planned in the module proposal at the time (supply check). The project is primarily aimed at MSEs as well as informal micro-enterprises and self-employed poorer households, including low-pension recipients. The measure is intended to ensure that these target groups, especially in rural regions, continue to have access to (micro) loans, especially in the economic crisis exacerbated by Corona. In addition, the measure aims to make it easier for women to access credit and financial services. ŒAs in 2019, the state-owned Namibia Post Ltd. will once again be in charge.

Promotion of small and medium-sized companies (SME) to foster economic recovery - grants for final borrower (EKN). In May 2019, the Namibian Ministry of Finance announced a comprehensive emergency relief and recovery programme to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic on Namibian economic operators. Among other measures, the Development Bank of Namibia (DBN) was mandated to establish a 500 million Namibia Dollar (NAD) credit line for SMEs in the non-agricultural sector. Œ ŒThe German Government has supported this measure through an interest subsidised loan of ZAR 450 million (equivalent to approx. EUR 25 million), interest subsidy from budget funds EUR 2.5 million, (Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to Support Economic Recovery in Namibia, BMZ No.: 2020 68 773). Œ ŒThe credit line is intended to help ensure access to low-interest sub-loans to the target group. The sub-loans disbursed from the credit line are intended to bridge liquidity bottlenecks due to collapsed incomes as well as to make important investments for economic recovery and potentially a reorientation of the enterprises that were economically hard hit by Corona. Œ ŒAs the outflow of funds is not as expected and is much slower than estimated in the module proposal, a grant of EUR 2 million is to be provided to the DBN.

Energy efficient housing - fiduciary holding. The aim of the International Housing Solutions (IHS) Fund II SA is to create energy-efficient and affordable housing in South Africa through their investments. IHS is the first financier of social housing in South Africa with a focus on energy efficiency. KfW has been participating in the equity fund since 2014 with funding from the BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development) totalling EUR 22,5 million to promote the construction of green housing projects in South Africa. In this way, Germany contributes effectively and visibly to supporting the South African government in achieving its goals in the field of renewable energies and energy efficiency as well as climate protection. The project aims further to reduce the consumption of electricity and resources in housing for middle and low income households. The project is also intended to contribute to improving the tense situation on the housing market in South Africa. The fund plans to build and rent or sell a total of 5,700 energy-efficient housing units in South Africa by the end of 2026. Energy efficiency is achieved by certifying the residential units with the EDGE standard, which recognises a 20% reduction in energy consumption through the reduction of water and electricity use, as well as a 20% reduction in the use of building materials during construction. The fiduciary participation is also intended to promote the establishment of the EDGE certificate in the South African housing market. By acting as a model in the energy-efficient housing construction sector, the IHS is intended to be copied. The aim is that other actors will build another 5,000 housing units according to EDGE standards in South Africa by 2026. At the same time, compliance with the standards should contribute to savings on costs for utilities in the households, from which the target group, i.e. middle and low income households, will benefit.

Small IPP Support Program - TA. The Renewable Energy Program - Small IPP Support Program project aims to introduce small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from South Africa to the rapidly growing renewable energy (RE) and, to a lesser extent, energy efficiency (EE) markets, thereby sustainably anchoring the growth of the RE and EE markets in the local economy. This will be achieved by mobilizing additional private capital to finance small-scale RE and innovative EE projects through the FIRST facility. In addition, the funding of small-scale projects is intended to further increase the use of renewable energy sources in South Africa and thus contribute to the achievement of South Africa's climate targets through CO2 savings (Investment Facility). ŒThis is the accompanying measure or Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) (BMZ No. 2014 70 459) for the investment component. The accompanying measure can provide various consulting services to support project developers, most of whom are inexperienced in the RE and EE sectors, in the preparation of their small RE and EE projects and to reduce the high transaction costs for project appraisal and structuring due to the small-scale nature of the projects.

Program for Renewable Energy (Small IPP Support Program) - Phase II. The Renewable Energy Program - Small IPP Support Program aims to introduce small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from South Africa to the rapidly growing renewable energy (RE) and, to a lesser extent, energy efficiency (EE) market, thereby sustainably anchoring the growth of the RE and EE market in the local economy. This will be achieved by mobilizing additional private capital to finance small-scale RE and innovative EE projects through the FIRST facility. In addition, by supporting small-scale projects, the use of renewable energy sources in South Africa is to be further increased, thus contributing to the achievement of South Africa's climate targets through CO2 savings (Investment Facility). This is Phase II of the program of the same name (Phase I: BMZ No. 2010 66 620, Phase III: BMZ No. 2018 67 548). In parallel to the Investment Facility, a Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) was launched (BMZ No. 2014 70 459), which can provide various consulting services to support project developers, most of whom are inexperienced in the RE and RE sector, in preparing their small RE and RE projects and to reduce the high transaction costs for appraising and structuring the projects due to the small-scale nature of the projects.

The programme Promotion of Reproductive and Family Health in Guinea builds on Germany&apos s long-standing commitment in the sector. However, with the Ministry of Health as the executing agency and the pilot implementation of a performance-based financing mechanism for health services, the programme represents a new form of cooperation. The spread of the Ebola epidemic in Guinea has exposed and further exacerbated the weaknesses of the Guinean healthcare system. Its core problems include the desolate state of the infrastructure, chronic underfunding, particularly of peripheral healthcare facilities, and a lack of qualified staff. This is reflected in the poor state of health of the population, particularly in the area of reproductive health. ŒThis is where the programme comes in: The rehabilitation, expansion and equipping of peripheral health facilities (infrastructure component, component I) is linked to a new financing mechanism for the reimbursement of reproductive health services (reimbursement fund, component II) in order to improve the supply of high-quality reproductive health services. In addition, the demand for reproductive health services is increased through awareness-raising and communication measures (Component III). ŒThe aim of the project is to increase the supply of and demand for high-quality reproductive health services in the programme regions and thus improve the health of mothers and newborns in the programme regions. ŒThe target group of the project is the Guinean population in the programme regions with a focus on women of childbearing age and newborns.The project is being implemented in the programme regions of Kindia and Boké. A financing volume of EUR 15 million is available. The Guinean counterpart contribution amounts to EUR 450,000.

Ziel des Vorhabens ist der verbesserte Zugang zu Primarschulbildung in ausgewählten Projektregionen. ŒZielgruppe des Vorhabens sind Kinder im Primarschulalter, vor allem in benachteiligten ländlichen Gebieten. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf Mädchen. Daneben profitieren auch Eltern und Lehrer, sowie Kommunen und lokale Bauunternehmen direkt und indirekt von den vorgesehenen Maßnahmen. ŒDas FZ-Vorhaben wird in den Regionen Faranah und Mamou umgesetzt. Das Vorhaben umfasst schwerpunktmäßig den Bau und die Ausstattung von Primarschulen. Für jedes Schulgebäude werden Zugang zu Wasser und Latrinen bereitgestellt. In einigen Schulgemeinden werden zusätzlich Lehrerwohnungen errichtet. Zudem wird die Beschaffung von Lehrmaterialien finanziert. Die Fortbildung von Primarschullehrerinnen und -lehrern stellt eine wichtige Komponente des Vorhabens dar. Sensibilisierungs- und Mobilisierungsmaßnahmen zielen darauf ab, dass Familien und Gemeindemitglieder eine höhere Wertschätzung für Grundschulbildung insbesondere von Mädchen entwickeln, sich in Elternvereinen engagieren und sich aktiv am Unterhalt der Schulgebäude beteiligen. ŒBei dem Vorhaben handelt es sich um eine Folgephase des im Juni 2018 ausgelaufenen "Programms Grundbildung Guinea" (BMZ Nr. 2002 67 005), das von der NRO Plan International in Zusammenarbeit mit dem MENA und der Koordinierungseinheit des PSE umgesetzt wurde.

Umweltkatastrierung in Amazonien (CAR II)  Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR II). Das Neuvorhaben soll die gesetzlich vorgesehene Registrierung privater ländlicher Grundstücke in ein staatlich geführtes Umweltregister CAR, (Cadastro Ambiental Rural) in den Bundesstaaten Pará, Mato Grosso und Rondônia unterstützen. Œ ŒProjektträger ist das brasilianische Umweltministerium MMA. Als Empfänger der FZ-Mittel ist die staatliche Bank "CAIXA", die bereits in anderen FZ-Vorhaben erfolgreich als Finanzagent agiert hat, vorgesehen. Œ ŒDas Kernproblem ist die mangelnde Implementierung, Überwachung und Durchsetzung des CAR Registers auf über 5 Millionen ländlichen Grundstücken in Brasilien, mit einer Gesamtfläche von mehr als 3 Millionen km2. Die direkten Auswirkungen einer unzureichenden Flächen- und Aktivitätenregistrierung im CAR sind vor allem die Schwierigkeiten der Regierung bei der Überwachung von Flächennutzung und Einhaltung der Gesetze und Umweltplanung, ganz besonders in Hinblick auf Schutz von Wald, biologischer Korridore und Wassereinzugsgebiete. Œ ŒDas übergeordnete entwicklungspolitische Ziel (Oberziel) des Neuvorhabens ist die Erhaltung und Wiederaufforstung von Wäldern und anderer Vegetationsformen in Amazonien und im Cerrado, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Reduzierung der Entwaldung, des Erhalts der Biodiversität und der Verringerung der Emissionen von Treibhausgasen. Das Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme (FZ Modulziel) ist die Implementierung des Umweltregisters CAR in ausgewählten Gebieten Amazoniens und des Übergangsbereichs zum Cerrado, um ländlichen Klein- und Großgrundbesitzern verbesserten Zugang zur umweltrechtlichen Regulierung zu ermöglichen. ŒDer FZ-Beitrag beläuft sich auf einen Brasilien in mehreren Tranchen zugesagten Zuschuss in Höhe von insgesamt 23,0 Mio. EUR. Während der Regierungsverhandlungen sollen weitere 10 Mio. EUR zugesagt werden.Der im Rahmen der Regierungsverhandlungen zu unterzeichnende Vertrag beläuft sich auf die bereits zugesagten 23 Mio. EUR.

Förderung klimafreundlicher Biogastechnologien  Promoção da tecnologia de biogás (Paraná Bem Tratado). Bei der zumeist anaeroben Abwasserbehandlung in Brasilien entstehen u.a. methanhaltige Klärgase, die zum überwiegenden Teil als Treibhausgase in die Atmosphäre gelangen und damit zum Klimawandel beitragen. An Kläranlagen wird das Potenzial zur Energiegewinnung aus Biogas in geringem Umfang genutzt. Zudem werden Abwässer nicht vollständig und gemäß vorhandener Umweltvorschriften behandelt, was zur Verunreinigung der Umwelt beiträgt. Œ ŒIm Rahmen des Vorhabens mit dem Wasserversorgungsunternehmen (WVU) SANEPAR sind investive Maßnahmen für die Verbesserung und den Ausbau von insgesamt 8 Kläranlagen vorgesehen. Die Reinigungsleistung der Kläranlagen wird dabei streng an bestehenden Umweltrichtlinien ausgerichtet. Darüber hinaus soll das im Klärprozess entstehende Biogas umweltgerecht gefasst und weitestgehend energetisch verwertet werden. Für eine erfolgreiche Durchführung des Vorhabens wird SANEPAR bei der Planung und Umsetzung durch Beratungsleistungen unterstützt. Œ ŒDie Kosten für die Maßnahmen im Rahmen des Programms mit SANEPAR belaufen sich auf umgerechnet 97,2 Mio. EUR und werden mit 50 Mio. EUR aus Mitteln der FZ (ZV-Darlehen) und aus Eigenmitteln von SANEPAR (47,2 Mio. EUR) finanziert. Œ ŒNach erfolgten Investitionen und Betriebsaufnahme der Kläranlagen sollen jährlich 10 tausend Tonnen CO2eq weniger an Treibhausgasen (THG) ausgestoßen und 4 GWh elektrische und thermische Energie genutzt werden.  In many cases wastewater treatment processes in Brazil are anaerobic, generating amongst other methane containing gases. The main part of these gases gets as greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Thus, these sewer gases contribute to climate change. The potential of using biogas for energy generation at wastewater treatment plants remains untapped. Furthermore, sewage is not treated totally and in accordance with environmental standards, which contributes to environmental pollution. Œ ŒWithin the program implemented by the Water Company SANEPAR all investments shall improve and further develop all in all up to 8 wastewater treatment plants. Sewage treatment standards are closely aligned to the environmental standards. The biogas produced as a by-product out of the wastewater treatment process will be collected and predominantelly converted into energy. To ensure a successful program implementation, SANEPAR is supported by consulting services. Œ ŒThe total cost of the program with SANEPAR is up to € 97,2 mn. The funding is made by a subsidized loan of € 50 mn. (KfW) and by € 47,2 mn. of funds by SANEPAR. Œ ŒAs soon as the investments are executed and after starting the operations of the wastewater treatment plants, greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 10,000 tons of CO2eq and 4 GWh of electric and thermal energy will be used.  Verbreitung von klimafreundlichen Biogastechnologien in den Bereichen der Abwasserklärung und Förderung der energetischen Nutzung von Biogas aus weiteren Quellen in Brasilien.

Social Protection of the Ultra-Poor VI. The objective of the project "Social protection of the absolutely poor VI" is to help households in seven districts of Malawi that meet the criteria "ultra poor" and "labor constrained" and belong to the poorest 10% of households to escape absolute poverty by means of regular cash transfer payments. The project is a conceptual continuation of the FC projects "Social protection of the absolutely poor I, II, III, IV and V". ŒWith the available FC funds totaling EUR 8 million, the target group households in the districts of Machinga, Mangochi, Mchinji, Salima, Likoma, Chitipa and Phalombe can be supported through regular transfers presumably until Q1 / 2023. The project is divided into the following three components: (1) an investment component to finance the transfers and related operational costs, (2) a technical component to support the executing ministry (MGCDSW), particularly in the establishment and operation of a management information system and adequate disbursement structures (including potential introduction of "e-payments"), (3) a component to provide complementary support to the program (M&E activities, targeting, etc.). This approach is consistent with national poverty reduction efforts. It supports Malawi's most vulnerable population and enables better livelihoods through regular income. Œ ŒBy providing additional targeted support for the education of children and adolescents, who make up around 70% of the target group, this project also contributes to strengthening human capital and thus to the sustainable social and economic development of the country.

More income and employment in rural areas through infrastructure and financing in Malawi. The objective of the FC measure is to contribute to increasing employment and income along selected value chains, especially for poorer sections of the population in rural areas of Malawi. To achieve this, the FC measure supports the Malawi Innovation Challenge Fund (MICF) already with a third contribution. The MICF is implemented via UNDP, the United Nations Development Programme. A second UNDP instrument for private sector development supported by German financial cooperation is the so called Growth Accelerator (GA). ŒMICF provides private enterprises with matching grants to help them introduce innovative and inclusive business models.The respective company must raise at least 50% of the investment sum from its own or third-party funds (e.g. via loans). Only projects with positive developmental impacts (in particular the promotion of the poor, women and young people, other positive social or environmental impacts) and which have the potential to reduce Malawi's dependence on imports and contribute to export promotion are able to qualify. Since 2014, the MICF has launched nine financing rounds to support innovative business models in the fields of agriculture (including irrigation), production, logistics, financial sector development and, most recently, tourism. Financial Cooperation so far supported four of these financing rounds with a total of 23 business models.The operational modality for the Growth Accelerator follows the blueprint of the MICF, but on a much smaller scale targeting post-revenue start-ups with their own contribution amounting to 30%. ŒExtra COVID-19 funds (EUR 6 million) have been commited to Malawi to help mitigate the effects of the corona pandemic.

Basic Health Services (HSJF) IV. The project is pursuing a new coordinated donor approach in the health sector. To this end, the Malawian government as well as Germany, Norway, UK and Flanders signed a Joint Declaration of Intent for a Health Services Joint Fund (HSJF) in December 2015, as well as for a more coordinated financial supervision in the health sector. Through the HSJF, major donors coordinate measures in the health sector more closely with each other and with the Malawian Ministry of Health, thereby increasing efficiency. At the same time, the financial management of the Ministry of Health is strengthened through additional support measures. Œ ŒThe HSJF is a coordination mechanism through which donor funds are channeled into defined packages of measures via joint, non-governmental disbursement structures. In the HSJF, donors can specifically allocate their funds to individual measures and do not give up control over the allocation of funds. The funds from the FC measure flow primarily into investments to improve health infrastructure (new construction / rehabilitation of health facilities, medical equipment), in the procurement of vaccines and contraceptives. Œ ŒThe measure contributes to the aim of the development cooperation program to improve universal access to and use of high-quality basic health services. The project is part of the development cooperation program to support the health sector in Malawi and is in line with the national health strategy HSSP II (Health Sector Strategic Plan II). The target group of the project are the users of public health facilities and thus the entire population of Malawi with a special focus on the poor, women and children.

Private Sector Development for More Income and Employment in Rural Areas IV. The objective of the FC module is for private sector enterprises to use financing through the Green Economic Transition Facility (GETF) instrument to invest in potentially viable, profitable, inclusive, and innovative green business solutions (e.g., products, services, production, processing, distribution) that are commercially viable and on track to profitability and that benefit the poor, women, and youth. The target group is small to medium-sized private enterprises (SMEs) in Malawi beyond the start-up phase that want to make a shift towards greener products/services and production methods, as well as poor people in the population and women who will benefit from increased income through employment in the supported enterprises or along the selected value chains. Matching grant funding reduces the investment risk for SMEs. This provides investment incentives for private companies to innovate in environmentally sound, sustainable "green" products and processes. This contributes - in the short-term and also in the long-term - to the creation of jobs as well as, at the same time, to reducing the pressure on natural livelihoods. By defining impact-oriented criteria for project selection, the granting of subsidies is to be controlled in such a way that the subsidized investment has the greatest possible innovation potential and that disadvantaged population groups in particular (poor people as well as women and youth) benefit from it - e.g. through employment effects.

Œ ŒDie FZ-Maßnahme beinhaltet ein zinsverbilligtes Darlehen (Hauptmaßnahme) von bis zu 50 Mio. EUR an die Republik Tunesien, vertreten durch das Außenministerium. Projektträger sind wirtschaftlich solide tunesische Geschäftsbanken mit einem großen Interesse an der KKMU-Finanzierung (Downscaling). Ergänzend zu den zinsverbilligten Darlehensmitteln wird eine personelle Unterstützung (Begleitmaßnahme) über 6,45 Mio. EUR durchgeführt, um die Partnerbanken durch gezielte Consultingeinsätze beim nachhaltigen Auf- bzw. Ausbau ihres KKMU-Geschäfts zu unterstützen sowie KKMU über geeignete Workshops dazu zu befähigen, "bankable" zu werden und an den formalen Bankensektor heranzuführen. Œ ŒDas Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die nachhaltige Bereitstellung und Nutzung eines bedarfsgerechten Angebots an Finanzdienstleistungen für KKMU in den Partnerbanken. Das Vorhaben leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung des Zugangs tunesischer KKMU zu Fremdkapital, die auf diese Weise ihre Geschäftstätigkeit ausweiten und schließlich neue Arbeitsplätze generieren können, und trägt damit zur Erreichung des übergeordneten entwicklungspolitischen Ziels, der nachhaltigen Reduzierung von Armut durch die Schaffung und Sicherung von Arbeitsplätzen sowie der Ausweitung und Vertiefung des tunesischen Finanzsektors, bei. Œ ŒZielgruppe sind tunesische kleinste, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KKMU), die über den Zugang zu Kapital die Möglichkeit erhalten, ihre Geschäftstätigkeit auszuweiten und zusätzliches Einkommen zu generieren, sowie indirekt Angestellte und deren Familien. Œ ŒAm 20.12.2017 hat das BMZ zugestimmt die Mittel zudem zur Unterstützung von Reformen im Finanzsektor nutzen zu können, und damit für Trägerinstitutionen, Zielgruppen und andere zulässige Einheiten (wie Regulierer und Ministerien). Œ  Le projet se concentre à l'un des défis fondamentaux du secteur financier tunisien, le manque de dotation en capital pour les très petites, petites et moyennes entreprises (TPME). Comme dans d'autres pays de la région, les TPME fournissent une grande partie des emplois en Tunisie et elles ont donc une grande importance économique et sociale. Vue l'importance particulière des TPME pour le développement futur du pays, faciliter leur accès au financement est fermement ancré dans la stratégie de développement du gouvernement tunisien. Œ ŒLa mesure de coopération financière comprend un prêt à faible taux d'intérêt (mesure principale) d'un montant maximum de 50 millions d'euros à la République de Tunisie, représentée par le Ministère des Affaires Étrangères. Les porteurs des projets sont des banques commerciales tunisiennes économiquement saines avec un intérêt marqué pour le financement des TPME (downscaling). En plus des fonds de prêts à un taux d'intérêt bonifié, un projet d'assistance technique au personnel (mesure d'accompagnement) de 6,45 millions d'euros est mise en uvre. Dans le cadre de cette mesure des missions de conseil ciblées pour aider les banques partenaires à établir et à développer durablement leurs activités dans le secteur TPME et des ateliers pour permettre aux TPME de devenir "bancables" et d'être introduites dans le secteur bancaire formel sont organisés. Œ ŒL'objectif du projet est la fourniture et l'utilisation durables d'une gamme de services financiers axés sur les TPME de la part des banques partenaires. Le projet contribue ainsi à l'amélioration d'accès aux capitaux d'emprunt pour les TPME tunisiennes, qui peuvent ainsi développer leurs activités commerciales et créer des nouveaux emplois.

IWRM Küstenschutzprogramm Tunesien II  Programme de Protection du Littoral - phase 2. Tunesiens Küsten haben aufgrund ihrer hohen Siedlungsdichte und ihres Wirtschaftspotenzials (Tourismus, Industrie, Fischerei und Landwirtschaft) eine große sozioökonomische Bedeutung für das Land. In den Küstengebieten leben 65% der tunesischen Bevölkerung, die 90% der industriellen und touristischen Leistung des Landes produzieren. Die Bedrohung eines Teils dieser Küste durch Erosionserscheinungen stellt damit neben der Bedrohung für die Biodiversität auch unmittelbar eine Bedrohung für die im Küstenbereich lebenden Menschen und die wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten vor Ort dar. Œ ŒDas Programm umfasst eine Kombination von infrastrukturellen Schutzmaßnahmen - Unterwasserwellenbrecher, Buhnen, Deichbauwerke - und "weichen" baulichen Stabilisierungsmaßnahmen - Dünenstabilisierung, Sandauffüllung von Stränden - für den Erosionsschutz an besonders gefährdeten Küstenabschnitten des Landes. ŒIn der ersten Phase des Programms werden diese Küstenschutzmaßnahmen auf der Insel Kerkennah und in RafRaf umgesetzt. An weiteren fünf Standorten werden Dünenstabilisierungen vorgenommen.

KMU-Beteiligungsfonds Tunesien (TunInvest Croissance) (Inv.)  Tunisie: TunInvest Croissance (Inv.). KKMU bilden in Tunesien das Rückgrat der Wirtschaft: Sie machen 99 % aller Unternehmen aus und bieten rund 85 % der arbeitenden Bevölkerung Beschäftigung. Trotzdem haben KKMU kaum Zugang zu Krediten, Beteiligungskapital und anderen Finanzdienstleistungen, was ihre Leistungsfähigkeit und das Wachstum der tunesischen Volkswirtschaft hemmt. Œ ŒUm diese "Finanzierungslücke" zu schließen, ist 2013 die Beteiligungsgesellschaft TunInvest Croissance entstanden. Das Vorhaben stellt der TunInvest Eigenkapital zur Verfügung, mit dem sich die Gesellschaft an KMU beteiligt und sie auf ihrem Wachstumspfad unterstützt. Œ ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist, dass die teilnehmenden KMU von einem verbesserten Zugang zu Eigenkapital profitieren, ihre Geschäftstätigkeit ausweiten und schließlich neue Arbeitsplätze generieren. Œ ŒProjektträger ist der tunesische Beteiligungsfonds TunInvest Croissance" mit einem Fondsvolumen von 25,8 Mio. TND (rd. 11,5 Mio. EUR), an dem die KfW eine Treuhandbeteiligung i.H.v. EUR 2,5 Mio. (22,5 % des Fondskapitals) eingegangen ist. Der Fonds wird durch den erfahrenen Fondsmanager "Tunlnvest Gestion Financière" verwaltet, der diesen Fonds auch initiiert hat. Œ ŒTunInvest unterstützt innovative KMU in ihrem Wachstum sowie beim Übergang der Betriebe von familiengeführten Unternehmen in Kapitalgesellschaften, indem der Fonds sich am Eigenkapital der KMU beteiligt und aktiv in deren Management mitwirkt. Das Kapital wurde in 10 KMU investiert. Die Laufzeit der Gesellschaft ist auf maximal 12 Jahre festgesetzt (bis 2025).  MSMEs are the backbone of the economy in Tunisia: they account for 99% of all enterprises and provide employment for around 85% of the working population. Despite this, MSMEs have little access to loans, equity capital and other financial services, which hampers their performance and the growth of the Tunisian economy. Œ ŒTo address this financing gap, the TunInvest Croissance equity fund was created in 2013. The project provides TunInvest with equity capital, which the company uses to invest in SMEs and support them on their growth path. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is for the participating SMEs to benefit from improved access to equity, expand their business activities and ultimately generate new jobs. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the Tunisian investment fund "TunInvest Croissance" with a fund volume of TND 25.8 million (approx.

Wasserspeicherung und Hochwasserschutz zur Klimaanpassung im Rahmen von IWRM  Programme de stockage de l&apos eau et de la protection contre les inondations dans le cadre d&apos une GIRE en Tunisie. Ziel des Moduls "Wasserspeicherung und Hochwasserschutz zur Klimaanpassung im Rahmen von IWRM, Phase 1+ 2" ist die Förderung der sozio-ökonomischen Entwicklung benachteiligter Gebiete in Tunesien und die Erhöhung der Klimaresilienz der Programmregion durch ein effizienteres, vorrausschauendes und nachhaltiges Wassermanagement. Durch umfassende Hochwasserschutzmaßnahmen im Medjerdatal (Gouvernorate Jendouba und Beja) sowie Wasserspeicherprojekte in Jendouba und Kairouan werden die wesentlichen Lebens- und Existenzgrundlagen der Menschen vor Hochwasserereignissen geschützt. Über eine verstärkte Oberflä-chenwassermobilisierung und der in Folge verbesserten Wasserversorgung in der landwirtschaftlichen Bewässerung wird zudem direkt die sozio-ökonomisch Entwicklung in der Modulregion gefördert. Hierdurch werden wichtige Arbeitsplätze in der Landwirtschaft erhalten und die Entstehung von neuen Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten gefördert. Im Einzelnen sind folgende Maßnahmen vorgesehen: Œ1. Neubau des Staudamms Raghai im Gouvernorat Jendouba in der Nähe der Stadt Ghardimaou bei der Einmündung des Oued El Jorf in den Fluss Raghai, ein Nebenfluss des Medjerda. Der geplante Staudamm wird ein Speichervolumen von ca. 40 Mio. m³ haben. Er wird zum Hochwasserschutz in der Region gebaut und soll zudem der Bewässerung von 5.200 ha landwirtschaftlich genutzter Fläche sowie der Verbesserung der Trinkwasserversorgung der Delegation Ghardimaou dienen. Im Rahmen der Maßnahme werden ca. sieben Kilometer asphaltierter Straßen und nicht asphaltierter Wege geflutet, weshalb diese Strecken neu angelegt werden sollen. Des Weiteren ist der Bau ergänzender Straßen und einer Brücke geplant, um die Mobilität der Bevölkerung nach dem Dammbau zu erhalten bzw. im Vergleich zur Ist-Situation sogar zu verbessern. Œ2. Rehabilitierung und Erhöhung des bestehenden Staudamms Sidi Saad im Gouvernorat Kairouan. Um seine Funktionstüchtigkeit - Hochwasserschutz und Ermöglichung von Bewässerungslandwirtschaft - in der Region auch für die kommenden Jahrzehnte sicherzustellen, werden umfangreiche Stabilisierungs- und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen am Überlauf und anschließender Schussrinne des Staudamms vorgenommen. Darüber hinaus wird durch den Einbau einer Schwelle im Zuführungskanal zur Hochwasserentlastungsanlage das Speichervolumen um ca. 100-150 Mio. m³ erhöht. Das zusätzliche Stauvolumen kann nach der erfolgten Rehabilitierung nachhaltig für den Hochwasserschutz, aber auch zur Bewässerung landwirtschaftlicher Flächen genutzt werden. Œ3. Umfassende Hochwasserschutzmaßnahmen im oberen Teil des Medjerdatals zwischen der algerischen Grenze und dem Staudamm Sidi Salem (Zone U1+M und Zone U2). In diesen Zonen sollen Deiche, Polder und Überflutungsflächen angelegt sowie Querschnittsanpassungen durchgeführt und voraussichtlich ein Hochwasserentlastungskanal zum Schutz der Stadt Bou Salem gebaut werden. In diesem Zusammenhang werden zudem Wartungsgeräte beschafft. Des Weiteren werden Maßnahmen getroffen, um der Erderosion am Ufer des Medjerda entgegenzuwirken.

Kommunalfinanzierung (BM)  Programme de financement des collectivités locales (MA). Tunesien gehört zu den am stärksten urbanisierten Ländern in der Region Nordafrika. Es bestehen große Unterschiede zwischen den Lebensverhältnissen an der dicht besiedelten Küste und dem strukturschwachen Binnenland. Dabei ist das tunesische Verwaltungssystem besonders zentralistisch organisiert, mit nur wenigen Kompetenzen auf der lokalen Ebene. Lange war ein signifikanter Teil des Staatsgebietes, vor allem im dünn bevölkerten Binnenland, nicht kommunal organisiert. In der neuen Verfassung von 2014 wurde jedoch den politischen Willen für eine stärkere Selbstverwaltung von Gemeinden festgeschrieben und entsprechende Reformen in die Wege geleitet.

KKMU-Kreditprogramm zur Beschäftigungsförderung II  Programme de prêts des MPME pour la promotion de l&apos emploi II. Das Vorhaben "KKMU-Kreditprogramm II" setzt an dem weiterhin anhaltenden Kernproblem des tunesischen Finanzsektors, der mangelnden Kapitalausstattung von kleinsten, kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KKMU) an. Bedarfsgerechte Finanzdienstleistungen sind für die zukünftige Entwicklung des Landes von großer Bedeutung und sollen einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Abbau von (Jugend-) Arbeitslosigkeit leisten. Œ ŒDas Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Verbesserung der nachhaltigen Bereitstellung und Nutzung eines bedarfsgerechten Angebots an Finanzdienstleistungen für KKMU in städtischen und ländlichen Regionen in Tunesien. Zielgruppe sind tunesische KKMU, die verbesserten Zugang zu Fremdkapital erhalten und auf diese Weise ihre Geschäftstätigkeit ausweiten und schließlich neue Arbeitsplätze generieren können. Œ ŒDazu werden im Rahmen des Vorhabens zinsverbilligte Darlehen von bis zu 140 Mio. EUR über die tunesische Regierung als Darlehensnehmer an sieben qualifizierte Partner-Finanzinstitutionen zur Refinanzierung ihres KKMU-Geschäfts ausgelegt. Die tunesische Zentralbank verwaltet die Kreditlinie für die tunesische Regierung. Ergänzend zu dem Darlehen steht eine Begleitmaßnahme über 20,0 Mio. EUR zur Verfügung, um die Reformbestrebungen im Banken- und Finanzsektor sowie die Partner-Finanzinstitutionen durch gezielte Consultingeinsätze beim nachhaltigen Auf- bzw. Ausbau ihres KKMU-Geschäfts zu unterstützen.

Œ ŒL'objectif du projet est d'améliorer la mise à disposition et l'utilisation durable d'une offre de services financiers pour les TPME au sein des institutions financières partenaires du programme en fonction des besoins des TPME, notamment, celles qui opèrent dans les 16 gouvernorats ayant l'indice de développement régional le plus faible. Le groupe cible est constitué de TPME tunisiennes qui profitent d'un meilleur accès au financement, ce qui leur permet de développer leurs activités et de créer de nouveaux emplois. Œ ŒPour ce faire, des prêts bonifiés à concurrence de 140 millions d'euros à sept institutions financières partenaires qualifiées, par l'intermédiaire du gouvernement tunisien en tant qu'emprunteur pour le refinancement de leurs activités avec des TPME.

KKMU Kreditprogramm zur Beschäftigungsförderung II (Kreditgarantie)  TPME Programme des crédits pour la promotion d&apos emploi II (Garantie de prêt). Der Covid-19-Schock verschärft die finanzielle Fragilität der Mehrheit der KKMU. Simulationen der Auswirkungen von Covid-19 auf die finanzielle Anfälligkeit der Unternehmen zeigen starke regionale und tätigkeitsbedingte Unterschiede. Konfrontiert mit einem starken Nachfrage- sowie Umsatzrückgang, wurden 10,8 % aller privaten Unternehmen vorübergehend geschlossen, insbesondere Kleinstunternehmen. Über 50 % sind von einer dauerhaften Schließung bedroht oder unter den gegenwärtigen Bedingungen unsicher im Bezug auf die Zukunft des Betriebs. Daraus resultieren verstärkte Ungleichheiten in Bezug auf Einkommen und Möglichkeiten der Unternehmen. Dem wirkt der Kreditgarantiemechanismus SARE entgegen, indem KKMU ermöglicht wird ihren pandemiebedingten Liquiditätsbedarf zu decken, ihren Betrieb aufrechtzuerhalten sowie Arbeitsplätze zu sichern. Œ ŒDas Ziel des Kreditgarantiemechanismus ist die Erhaltung sowie zusätzliche Schaffung des Zugangs zu Krediten für KKMU und neugegründete Unternehmen in Tunesien, die von der COVID-19-Pandemie betroffen sind. Das Vorhaben ist Teil des Covid-19 Maßnahmenpaketes für Tunesein. Der Mechanismus Soutien et Appui à la Résilience des Entreprises (SARE) wurde im März 2020 als eine Maßnahme im Rahmen der Unterstützung der Wirtschaft vor dem Hintergrund der Covid-19 Pandemie ins Leben gerufen und mittels eines Dekrets im April gegründet. Die Ver-waltung des Fonds wurde vom Finanzministerium der staatlichen Sociéte Tunisienne de Garantie SOTUGAR übertragen. Der Garantiemechanismus unterstützt über 16 Partnerbanken Unternehmen mittels Kreditgarantien für Betriebsmittelkredite. Die Kreditgarantien richten sich dabei an Unternehmen oder juristische Personen, die einen Umsatzrückgang von mindestens 25 % bzw. 40 % zwischen 2019 und 2020 (März bzw. April) einbüßen mussten, sofern dieser Rückgang in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Covid-19-Pandemie steht. Die garantierten Kredite können für die Deckung von Betriebskosten und Schulden verwendet werden, die für die Aufrechterhaltung des Personals und die Wiederaufnahme der Tätigkeit unerlässlich sind. Dazu gehören u.a. Löhne, Mieten, Instandhaltung, Wasser, Energie, Gas und Telekommunikationskosten.

Dezentralisierung / Kommunalfinanzierung II  Programme de financement des collectivités locales II (MA). Mit dem Vorhaben sollen prioritäre kommunale Investitionsmaßnahmen (sowohl Neuinvestitionen als auch Rehabilitierungen) über die öffentliche tunesische "Caisse des Prêts et de Soutien des Collectivités Locales" (CPSCL) finanziert werden. In der zweiten Phase werden Investitionsmaßnahmen in den Erweiterungsgebieten der im Zuge der Dezentralisierung erweiterten Gemeinden finanziert. Begünstigte der ersten Phase waren 29 der neu gegründeten Gemeinden. Bei den Investitionen handelt es sich in erster Linie um den Ausbau von bedarfsgerechter Basisinfrastruktur sowie die Bereitstellung kommunaler Dienste. Mögliche Maßnahmen umfassen den Bau und die Sanierung von Gemeindestraßen, ökonomische Infrastrukturprojekte wie öffentliche Märkte, die Anlage von Grün- oder Freizeitflächen oder die Beschaffung von relevantem Gerät. Die genauen Einzelmaßnahmen werden durch die Gemeinden mit Unterstützung der CPSCL ausgewählt. Œ ŒDie Investitionen werden durch eine Begleitmaßnahme abgesichert, mit der die CPSCL in ihrer Durchführungskapazität gestärkt und die Projektgemeinden beim Aufbau ihrer Kapazitäten unterstützt werden sollen. Œ ŒZiel des Gesamtvorhabens ist es, die lokale Selbstverwaltung der erweiterten Gemeinden und ihre Fähigkeiten zur Bereitstellung bedarfsgerechter, nachhaltiger kommunaler Einrichtungen und Dienstleistungen zu stärken. Damit soll ein Beitrag zur Unterstützung des demokratischen Reformprozesses in Tunesien und zur Verbesserung der sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Situation der kommunalen Bevölkerung geleistet werden. Durch die verbesserte Bereitstellung kommunaler Dienstleistungen im Hinblick auf Qualität, Quantität, Effizienz und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit / Armutsorientierung sollen schließlich die Lebensbedingungen der kommunalen Bevölkerung verbessert werden. Œ ŒDer FZ-Beitrag in die Investitionsmaßnahmen des FZ-Vorhabens umfasst EUR 81,67 Mio. und wird in zwei Phasen in Form einer klassischen Verbundfinanzierung (Phase I, EUR 45 Mio.) und eines Haushaltmitteldarlehens (FICOL II, EUR 36,67 Mio.) an die tunesische Republik zur Verfügung gestellt. Wie auch schon in Phase I soll die Begleitmaßnahme zu Phase II durch einen Zuschuss i. H. v. EUR 3,0 Mio. finanziert werden Œ Œ  Le projet est destiné à financer des mesures d'investissement municipales prioritaires (nouveaux investissements et réhabilitation) par l'intermédiaire de la Caisse des Prêts et de Soutien des Collectivités Locales (CPSCL).

Œ ŒLes investissements seront soutenus par une mesure d'accompagnement visant à renforcer la capacité de mise en uvre de CPSCL et à aider les communautés du projet à renforcer leurs capacités.

Cela contribuera à soutenir le processus de réforme démocratique en Tunisie et à améliorer la situation sociale et économique de la population municipale. L'amélioration de la prestation des services municipaux en termes de qualité, de quantité, d'efficacité et de justice distributive / orientation vers la pauvreté ont le but ultime d'avancer les conditions de vie de la population municipale.

Activating Market-based Agricultural Livelihoods (AMAL) - Phase II. The project "Activating Market-based Agricultural Livelihoods (AMAL), Phase II" aims to increase the resilience of Iraqi rural communities Anbar and Salah Al-Din affected by conflicts, by restoring agricultural production, market structures and the associated improvement in the livelihoods of the population. The non-governmental organization (NGO) Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) acts as the project executing and implementing agency. The project will support the following target groups: 1. Internally displaced persons and Iraqi refugees who return to destroyed communities or have already returned (returnees). 2. Households that were not displaced during the armed conflict with IS, but suffered badly and are now struggling to rebuild their lives. 3. Non-conflict internally displaced people (including displaced people due to climate change) and communities in need of help due to chronic water crises. The project includes the rehabilitation of essential agricultural infrastructures and grants the affected farmers access to resources, equipment and technical training. It supports the establishment or expansion of local agricultural businesses to boost employment and agricultural markets and to strengthen the capacities of all actors (including government agencies) who provide essential services to farmers. As such, the project aims to achieve both sustainable management of agricultural land and growth for the agricultural sector itself. The project also actively supports the resilience of individuals and communities. This is to be achieved through a community-based approach that aims to meet the priorities of individuals and communities alike, thereby promoting social cohesion. Attention is always paid to including marginalized groups. This holistic approach will help to build sustainable structures in the communities. This in turn will lead to communities and individual beneficiaries strengthening their resilience and will thus directly help to prevent further emigration in the future.

Das Vorhaben hat die Verbesserung der Abwasserbeseitigung in den Orten Sousse und Kairouan (beide Zentraltunesien) sowie Nefza (Nordwestregion) zum Gegenstand. Oberziel des Vorhabens ist einerseits, einen Beitrag zum Schutz der ober- und unterirdischen Trinkwasserressourcen in Zentraltunesien und der Nordwestregion, der Trinkwassertalsperre Sidi-el-Barrak (Nordwestregion) und des Mittelmeeres zu leisten. Andererseits soll die gesundheitliche Gefährdung der Bevölkerung in den Projektorten sowie in den Teilen Tunesiens, die über die Trinkwassertalsperre Sidi el Barrak versorgt werden, reduziert werden. Projektziel ist, die häuslichen und (z.T. vorgereinigten) gewerblichen Abwässer in den Projektorten ordnungsgemäß zu sammeln und zu reinigen. Die Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens beliefen sich bei Projektprüfung auf 59,7 Mio. TDN (46,9 Mio. EUR). Davon sollte ein Betrag von 23,01 Mio. EUR (49 %) aus einem Verbunddarlehen finanziert werden, wovon 7,67 Mio. EUR aus FZ-Mitteln und 15,34 Mio. EUR aus Marktmitteln stammen sollten. Œ ŒEin Teil der ursprünglich für das Vorhaben vorgesehenen Mittel wurde auf das Vorhaben Abwasserentsorgung Sousse und Kairouan (BMZ-Nr. 1999 66 037) reprogrammiert und eine konzeptionelle Änderung durchgeführt (Übertragung der geplanten Projektmaßnahmen zur Abwasserreinigung in Sousse und zur Erweiterung der Abwassersammlernetze in Akouda und Kalaâ Kebira). Im Zuge dessen wurde die FZ-Zusage auf 18,4 Mio. EUR gekürzt (6,1 Mio. EUR FZ und 12,3 Mio. EUR FK).

Anpassung an den Klimawandel in der Trockenzone Guatemalas (corredor seco)  Adaptación al cambio climático en la zona árida de Guatemala (corredor seco). Guatemala, als Teil des Isthmus zwischen Nord- und Südamerika mit Küsten am Atlantik und Pazifik, ist, wie die gesamte Region Zentralamerika, den Wetterextremen beider Ozeane ausge-liefert. Zusammen mit Honduras und Nicaragua war das Land deswegen unter den "top ten" im Long-Term Climate Risk Index (CRI) von German Watch für 1994 bis 2013 gelistet. Inzwischen ist Guatemala nicht mehr unter den "top ten" (Index 1997-2016). In der sog. Trockenzone des Landes ("corredor seco"), wo sich auch Teile der ärmsten Bevölkerung konzentrieren, wirken sich schon jetzt Dürreperioden und Extremregenfälle mit augenscheinlich zunehmender Häufig-keit katastrophal auf die Lebenssituation der Zielgruppe aus. Die für die Region (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras) vorliegenden Prognosen gehen mit einer hohen Wahrscheinlichkeit von einem starken Temperaturanstieg, begleitet von einer massiven Ausdehnung der Dürreperioden bis 2100, aus, was die Trockengebiete Guatemalas naturgemäß besonders treffen wird. Die Zielgruppe ist diesen Klimaschocks insbesondere wegen der praktizierten unangepassten Landnutzung und mangelndem Zugang zu Technologie in Verbindung mit ihrer Armut besonders ausgesetzt (Kernproblem). Deshalb soll die Zielgruppe im Rahmen des Vorhabens in die Lage versetzt werden, ihre Produktivsysteme und das Management von Böden, Wald und Wasser zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel zu verbessern (Projektziel). Damit leistet das Vorhaben einen Beitrag dazu, dass die Partnerorganisationen den Schutz und die nachhaltige Nutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen verbessern unter Berücksichtigung der Folgen des Klimawandels für benachteiligte Bevölkerungsgruppen (Ziel der deutschen EZ). Das Vorhaben wird in den De-partamentos Baja Verapaz (Munizipien San Miguel Chicaj, Rabinal und Cubulco), El Progreso (Munizipien San Agustín de Acasaguastlán und Morazán) und Zacapa (Munizipien Huité, San Diego und Cabañas) in Form eines offenen Programms durchgeführt. Indirekt werden durch positive Umweltwirkungen bis zu 120.000 Einwohner in den einbezogenen Munizipien erreicht. Direkt von den Maßnahmen werden bis zu 10.000 Familien (50.000 Einwohner) erreicht. Die Gesamtkosten des offenen Programms werden vorläufig auf 24,6 Mio. EUR geschätzt, 9 Mio. EUR Zuschuss aus FZ, 12,9 Mio. EUR werden aus dem nationalen Haushalt bereitgestellt und die Zielgruppe erbringt Eigenleistungen in Höhe von 2,7 Mio. EUR.

Friedliches Zusammenleben und sichere Räume für Jugendliche in Zentralamerika (CONVIVIR) - Komponente für Guatemala  Espacios seguros para jóvenes en Centroamérica (CONVIVIR) - Componente de Guatemala. Die CONVIVIR-Vorhaben werden in El Salvador, Guatemala und Honduras umgesetzt. Sie finanzieren Investitionen im öffentlichen Raum in von Gewalt betroffenen Gemeinden und Stadtteilen. Dieser Ansatz zur Schaffung "sicherer Räume" wird mit der Förderung von sozialen und beruflichen Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen verbunden. Darüber hinaus werden die beteiligten Akteure institutionell gestärkt. ŒJugendliche und Anwohner*innen werden in die Auswahl und den Bau der Infrastrukturmaßnahmen sowie in ihre Verwaltung und Instandhaltung einbezogen. Ziel ist es, dass die geschaffenen sicheren Räume unter aktiver gesellschaftlicher Teilhabe von Jugendlichen nachhaltig genutzt werden. Die Maßnahmen leisten einen Beitrag zur Armutsreduzierung sowie zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. ŒZielgruppe des Programms sind Jugendliche beiderlei Geschlechts zwischen 14 und 25 Jahren, die in Stadtteilen mit hohen Gewaltindizes leben und daher besonders von Gewalt und Kriminalität betroffen sind. ŒEmpfänger und Projektträger des CONVIVIR-Vorhabens in Guatemala ist die Stadtverwaltung von Guatemala-Stadt. Die Gesamtkosten belaufen sich auf EUR 15 Mio. Die Stadtverwaltung von Guatemala-Stadt leistet einen Eigenbeitrag von EUR 6 Mio. Die FZ-Mittel belaufen sich auf EUR 9 Mio., die als Zuschuss bereitgestellt werden.

Verbesserung des Schutzgebietemanagements - LifeWeb  Mejoramiento del Sistema Guatemalteca de Areas Protegidas. Guatemala gehört trotz seiner geringen Größe zu den sog. megadiversen Ländern (Länder mit einer außergewöhnlichen großen Artenvielfalt). Auch das Departement Huehuetenango, auf welches sich die Maßnahmen des Vorhabens konzentrieren, charakterisiert ein außerordentlicher Reichtum an Natur- und Kulturschätzen. So liegen die letzten Bestände Guatemalas an Bergnebelwald (Ökosystem) in Huehuetenango. Allerdings ist diese biologische Vielfalt zunehmend gefährdet aufgrund der Übernutzung der natürlichen Ressourcen sowie der Zerstörung der Ökosysteme va. durch Entwaldung, und der unwiderrufliche Verlust von Arten droht (Kernproblem). Der Projektträger CONAP (Consejo Nacional de Áreas Protegidas) hat sich in seiner mittelfristigen strategischen Planung zum Ziel gesetzt, zur Erfüllung der Verpflichtungen Guatemalas aus der Biodiversitätskonvention landesweit mindestens 15% der Fläche aller Ökosysteme, bzw. die gesamte Fläche bereits jetzt vom Verschwinden bedrohter Lebensräume (Bergnebelwald, Trockenwald) unter Schutz zu stellen. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es, ein Netz von kommunalen Schutzgebieten zum Erhalt der Biodiversität und natürlichen Ressourcen im Department Huehuetenango zu etablieren. Damit wird ein Beitrag geleistet, die Lücke an unterrepräsentierten bedrohten Ökosystemen in Guatemala zu schließen. Gleichzeitig wird damit ein Beitrag zur Umsetzung der strategischen Planung von CONAP erbracht. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die überwiegend indigene Bevölkerung von 12 Munizipien in Huehuetenango, welche den Völkern der Akateko, Chuj, Mam und Q anjob al angehört. CONAP wird im Rahmen des Vorhabens auf einer Fläche bis zu 50.000 ha neue Schutzgebiete etablieren, bzw. bestehende konsolidieren. Dazu wird pilothaft in Huehuetenango ein System von Kompensationszahlungen für den Biodiversitätsschutz eingeführt, welches der Träger später auf ganz Guatemala übertragen will. Weiter sind Beratungsleistungen für die indigene Bevölkerung, Planungswerke, Beschaffung von Ausrüstungsgütern und die Kosten für einen Durchführungsconsultant zur Finanzierung vorgesehen. Die Kosten des offenen Programms werden auf insgesamt 12,5 Mio. EUR geschätzt, davon 10 Mio. EUR als FZ-Zuschuss.  Guatemala, no obstante de tener un territorio no muy extenso, está entre los países considerados megadiversos. El departamento de Huehuetenango, donde se ejecutará el proyecto, alberga una gran riqueza natural y cultural. Los últimos remanentes de bosque neblino de Guatemala se encuentran en este departamento. Lamentablemente, esta biodiversidad está más y más en peligro. El uso insostenible de los recursos naturales, asi como la destrucción de ecosistemas originada en primer lugar por la deforestación causan la pérdida irreversible de muchas especies. La entidad ejecutora del proyecto, el Consejo Nacional de Áreas Protegidas - CONAP -, en el marco de su Plan Estratégico Institucional - PEI - pretende proteger por lo menos 15 % de todos los ecosistemas registrados en Guatemala. En el caso de ecosistemas altamente amenazadas como el bosque neblino y el bosque seco se trata de proteger la totalidad de los remanentes en el país. De tal manera Guatemala contribuye al cumplimiento de las metas de la convención sobre la Biodiversidad. El objetivo de proyecto es establecer una red de áreas protegidas comunales en el departamento de Huehuetenango para conservar la biodiversidad y los recursos naturales. De tal manera se contribuye a reducir los vacíos del Sistema Guatemalteco de Áreas Protegidas. Asimismo, el proyecto apoya a la implementación del PEI del CONAP. La población mayormente indígena de 12 municipios constituye el grupo meta del proyecto. Los indígenas pertenecen a los pueblos Akateko, Chuj, Mam und Q' anjob' al. Durante la implementación se consolidarán respectivamente se crearán áreas protegidas hasta una extensión máxima de 50.000 has. Para tal fin, se establecerá un sistema de pagos por conservación de la biodiversidad en Huehuetenango el cual sirve de piloto para un posterior sistema parecido a nivel nacional. Adicionalmente se financiarán servicios de asesoría para la población indígena que participa, estudios, adquisiciones y servicios de consultoría para acompañar la implementación. Los costos totales se estiman en 12.5 millones de Euros de los cuales 10.0 millones de Euros se financiarán por la Cooperación Financiera alemana en calidad de donación.

Support to the Land Reform Programme II. KfW is assisting the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement (MLR) in its endeavours to eliminate imbalances in land distribution to improve land-based livelihoods in communal areas. The vast majority of the poor population of Namibia lives in the communal areas in the North of the country, separated from the commercial land through so called veterinary fence. The imbalances in land distribution cause drastic income inequality which in turn lead to significant social imbalance and tensions. The development of the communal land is an important part of the Namibian land reform programme and is particularly important for poverty reduction. ŒThe project is designed to establish decentralized and participative communal land boards, which are capable of transforming the traditional customary land rights into modern lease rights with greater tenure security regarding usage rights of natural resources. Additionally, it is envisaged that the project will create a stimulus for investments to improve the poor agricultural productivity on communal land. Moreover, it aims at bringing the regional land use planning forward as well as the development of small-scale commercial farming units in the communal areas. This transformation is expected to lead to a boost of economic productivity because previously underutilized rural areas will be developed. ŒThe FC contribution of EUR 3 million will be fed into a basket fund of the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement.

Labour-based Road Construction IV. The objective of the "labour-based road construction IV" program is to contribute to poverty reduction in rural areas through labour-intensive construction of rural roads in the densely populated Central North of Namibia. The program comprises the construction of approximately 41 km of district roads: DR 3671 (Oshana Region), DR 3672 (Omusati Region) and DR 3650 (Ohangwena Region).

Activating Market-based Agricultural Livelihoods (AMAL), Phase I. The project "Activating Market-based Agricultural Livelihoods (AMAL), Phase I" aims to increase the resilience of Iraqi rural communities in Ninewa and Kirkuk affected by conflicts, by restoring agricultural production, market structures and the associated improvement in the livelihoods of the population. The non-governmental organization (NGO) Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) acts as the project executing and implementing agency. The project will support the following target groups: 1. Internally displaced persons and Iraqi refugees who return to destroyed communities or have already returned (returnees). 2. Households that were not displaced during the conflict, but suffered badly and are now struggling to rebuild their lives. 3. Non-conflict internally displaced people (including displaced people due to climate change) and communities in need of help due to chronic water crises. The project includes the rehabilitation of essential agricultural infrastructures and grants the affected farmers access to resources, equipment and technical training. It supports the establishment or expansion of local agricultural businesses to boost employment and agricultural markets and to strengthen the capacities of all actors (including government agencies) who provide essential services to farmers. As such, the project aims to achieve both sustainable management of agricultural land and growth for the agricultural sector itself. The project also actively supports the resilience of individuals and communities. This is to be achieved through a community-based approach that aims to meet the priorities of individuals and communities alike, thereby promoting social cohesion. Attention is always paid to including marginalized groups. This holistic approach will help to build sustainable structures in the communities. This in turn will lead to communities and individual beneficiaries strengthening their resilience and will thus directly help to prevent further emigration in the future.

Strengthening rural development through adapted land use and reducing the risk of disasters. Tajikistan is the country most affected by climate change and at the same time the poorest country in Central Asia. Scarcity of natural resources and lack of alternative income sources lead to overgrazing and deforestation, and consequently to continued degradation of productive resources as well as landslides and floods. The FC measure "Strengthening rural development through adapted land-use and reducing the risk of disasters" supports the rural development of selected districts of Tajikistan (Khovaling, Muminabad, Rasht, Panjakent and Kulob City) by reducing the risk natural disasters. Based on integrated land-use plans for sustainable forest and pasture management watersheds are reforested and sustainably managed, the population is equipped with firewood-saving technologies, and some infrastructure elements for erosion and flood control are built. Depending on the local vulnerability to disasters and the potential for implementing integrated forestry and pasture management approaches, micro-catchments will be selected in the districts based on various criteria. Energy-saving technologies and small-scale infrastructure measures will be implemented in a complementary manner in locations with functional relationships to forest and pasture activities. A budget of EUR 20 million is available for the FC measure. The target group of the measure are upstream forest and pasture users and the disaster-affected population in the 4 districts mentioned. A participatory, integrated, and watershed-based forest and pasture management will contribute to increased sustainability and to reduced risks of erosion, drought, landslides, and floods. In addition, appropriate protective structures will contribute to mitigating the existing residual risk of landslides and floods.

Strengthening quality assurance services for the drinking water and the waste water sector. The issue of water supply is a key priority in Nicaragua and is a focus of German development co-operation there. Nicaragua is one of the countries with the worst water supply in Latin America, although it is the country with the largest freshwater reserves in Central America. Sanitation and wastewater disposal are inadequate. In order to provide people with a continuous supply of safe drinking water and to be able to adequately dispose of and treat wastewater, more efficient water management is required, among others, which is supported by the quality infrastructure institu-tions and their services.The project contributes to the reliability of consumption and quality meas-urement of drinking water and wastewater through advisory services and capacity development measures for staff of the quality infrastructure institutions in Nicaragua.The aim is to strengthen institutions so that they can develop and apply relevant services, such as quality testing of water and wastewater.In order to achieve this aim, the analytical capacities of the testing laboratories in the field of drinking water and wastewater will be expanded and the calibration laboratories will be supported in improving their consumption measurements.The project's implementing partners are the quality infrastructure institutions and the national water utility ENACAL (Empresa Nicaragüense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados). The project is part of the German development cooperation pro-gramme on water, with the aim of sustainably improving the population's access to affordable and qualitatively appropriate drinking water and sanitation services on the basis of improved frame-work conditions for the sustainable management of water resources. Place of implementation is Nikaragua.  This project aims to strengthen the national quality infrastructure in such a way that its institutions can offer new services that contribute to the reliability of consumption measurements and quality analyses of drinking water and wastewater.

Within the framework of Phases III and IV of the Water and Sanitation Sector Program (Programme Sectoriel d&apos Eau et Assainissement - ProSecEau), a program approach is pursued that integrates improvements in the water and sanitation infrastructure and the performance of the water utility. The objective of the FC modules is to ensure a quantitative, qualitative, economically viable and reliable supply of drinking water and adequate sanitation for the mostly poor population in the program locations, who have been underserved to date. Œ ŒThe towns of Bubanza, Cankuzo, Rutana and Ruyigi, which have already received improved drinking water infrastructure in the FC commitment of the completed phases of ProSecEau, will benefit from improved sanitation infrastructure. In addition, the two towns of Rumonge and Nyanza Lac have been included in the program for improved drinking water and sanitation. Only between 9% and 17% of the population in these locations had access to a safe drinking water supply in 2010, and only 35% had adequate sanitation as defined by Burundi. About 180,000 people currently live in the two cities combined. Œ ŒThe module also includes a training measure (A&amp F measure) to strengthen the project-executing agency REGIDESO (investment-accompanying operational improvements).

Management and protection of groundwater resources III. The project aims to explore the potentials for sustainable use of groundwater resources in Burundi for a safe drinking water supply of the population in priority intervention zones in Burundi and to enable the responsible partner organization IGEBU (Institut Géographique du Burundi) to use them (capacity development). The TC module forms a component of the BMZ sector program "Programme Sectoriel de l'Eau et Assainissement (PROSECEAU)", which aims to "improve the supply of hygienically safe drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities to the urban and rural population of Burundi, taking into account the principles of sustainable water resource management". The TC module places the concept of drinking water supply via groundwater resources, which has received little attention in Burundi to date, with the responsible institutions and suppliers and trains them in the adequate use of this resource. Strengthening the competencies and capacities of the partner IGEBU (Institut Géographique de Burundi) in the collection, processing, management and interpretation of groundwater data is the main focus. Based on these findings, the planning, construction and operation of wells in cooperation with urban and rural water suppliers is supported.  The supply of drinking water from groundwater resources is enhanced based on hydrogeolocigal knowledge.

Prevention of malnutrition and strengthening of resilience at community level in Burundi. The FC project aims at improving food and nutrition security, especially for children and pregnant and lactating women in four provinces in Burundi, and at strengthening resilience for vulnerable households at community level. It directly (or primarily) targets children under two years, pregnant women and lactating mothers. In addition, the measures also support children up to five years of age and adolescents as well as particularly vulnerable households. The indirect target group includes the population in the program provinces and districts (about 1.8 million people) that is severely affected by the current precarious food supply (e.g., through awareness campaigns via radio, or improved availability of fortified flour). The direct target group includes about 450,000 direct beneficiaries annually. Œ ŒThe FC project stipulates a mix of multi-sectoral, needs-based measures and includes nutrition-sensitive and -specific measures through the application of a community-based approach. These include nutrition-sensitive cash transfers accompanied by nutrition-related awareness-raising activities, primarily targeting pregnant and lactating women or women with children under two years.

Klimafreundliche Stromübertragung und -versorgung  Transmisión y suministro de energía eléctrica favorable al clima. Paraguay verfügt über ein großes Angebot an durch Wasserkraft erzeugtem Strom. Die bestehenden Wasserkraftwerke könnten grundsätzlich den momentanen Strombedarf des Landes dreifach decken. Allerdings wächst die Strom nachfrage aufgrund der positiven wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung stark (durchschnittlich um knapp 7,5 % p.a.) und Paraguay verfügt über ein defizitäres Übertragungsnetz. ŒDer umweltfreundlich produzierte Wasserkraftstrom kann daher nicht im erforderlichen Maße in die Verbrauchszentren geleitet werden. Überlastete Übertragungs- und Verteilungsleitungen führen zu erheblichen technischen wie nicht-technischen Verlusten (bis zu 35 %) sowie regelmäßigen Unterbrechungen und Ausfällen der Stromversorgung. Aktuell müssen wegen mangelnder Leitungskapazitäten und daraus resultierender hoher Versorgungsunsicherheit von Unternehmen und Privatpersonen Dieselnotstromaggregate parallel und in Reserve betrieben werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat der staatliche paraguayische Stromversorger Administración Nacional De Electricidad (ANDE, Kreditnehmer und Projektträger) die KfW um einen Entwicklungskredit zum Ausbau von Leitungsnetz, Transformatoren und Verteilung gebeten. ŒDas Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist, Paraguay bei der Beibehaltung seiner zu 100 % erneuerbaren Stromerzeugungsmatrix zu unterstützen, indem die Konstruktion von thermischen Erzeugungsanlagen vermieden wird. Dies wird durch die Stärkung von Stromübertragungs- und Stromverteilungssystemen im westlichen Paraguay erreicht, um die Nutzung von vorhandenen Ressourcen aus Wasser-kraft auszuweiten und perspektivisch weitere erneuerbare Alternativen (vor allem Solar) in das Netz zu integrieren. Damit soll die Übertragungskapazität und Zuverlässigkeit der Stromversorgung verbessert sowie ein Beitrag zum globalen Umwelt- und Klimaschutz geleistet werden.  Paraguay cuenta con una gran oferta de electricidad generada por la energía hidroeléctrica. En principio, las centrales hidroeléctricas existentes podrían cubrir tres veces la demanda actual de electricidad del país. Sin embargo, la demanda de electricidad está creciendo fuertemente debido al desarrollo económico positivo (en promedio casi un 8,5% anual) y Paraguay tiene una red de transmisión deficiente. ŒEn consecuencia, la energía hidroeléctrica producida no puede transmitirse a los centros de consumo en la medida necesaria. Las líneas de transmisión y distribución sobrecargadas provocan considerables pérdidas técnicas y no técnicas (hasta un 35%), así como interrupciones y fallos regulares del suministro eléctrico. En la actualidad, los generadores termicos de diesel tienen que operar en paralelo y en reserva debido a la falta de capacidad de las líneas y a la consiguiente gran inseguridad de suministro de empresas y particulares. En este contexto, la empresa estatal paraguaya Administración Nacional de Electricidad (ANDE, prestataria y entidad ejecutora del proyecto) ha solicitado al KfW un préstamo de desarrollo para ampliar la red de transmision, los subestaciones y el red local de distribución. ŒEl objetivo de la medida es apoyar a Paraguay en el mantenimiento de su matriz de generación eléctrica 100% renovable, evitando la construcción de plantas adicionales de generación térmica. Esto se logrará mediante el fortalecimiento de los sistemas de transmisión y distribución de electricidad en el oeste de Paraguay para ampliar el uso de los recursos hidroeléctricos existentes y, prospectivamente, integrar otras alternativas renovables (especialmente solar) en la red. El objetivo es mejorar la capacidad de transmisión y la fiabilidad del suministro eléctrico y contribuir a la protección global del medio ambiente y el clima.

The project aims to better protect selected Tunisian coastal locations against the effects of climate change, in particular coastal erosion. By rehabilitating particularly eroded coastal sections in the Gulf of Hammamet and the Gulf of Gabès, coastlines are stabilized and protected against renewed erosion. The fourth phase focuses on the southern point of the port of Sousse up to the town of Skanes in the north of Monastir and the coastal section northeast of Djerba in the Gulf of Gabès. Measures such as bank protection walls, rock fills, breakwaters and groynes are being used to permanently stabilize the coast and protect tourism, particularly in the Djerba region. ŒThe project is part of integrated water resource management (IWRM) in Tunisia and helps to protect valuable coastal ecosystems, aquifers and settlements. This also includes economic sectors such as tourism, fishing, agriculture and handicrafts. The project supports adaptation to climate change, strengthens the resilience of the local population and increases the resilience of the Tunisian coastal region to climate-related hazards. The coastal protection measures are being implemented in coordination with the Tunisian coastal protection authority APAL and the Ministry of Environment as a contribution to the national climate adaptation strategy and the protection of threatened ecological and economic sectors.

Wasserspeicherung und Hochwasserschutz zur Klimaanpassung im Rahmen von IWRM  Mesure d´accompagnement - Programme de stockage de l&apos eau et de la protection contre les inondations dans le cadre GIRE. Ziel des Moduls "Wasserspeicherung und Hochwasserschutz zur Klimaanpassung im Rahmen von IWRM, Phase 1+ 2" ist die Förderung der sozio-ökonomischen Entwicklung benachteiligter Gebiete in Tunesien und die Erhöhung der Klimaresilienz der Programmregion durch ein effizi-enteres, vorrausschauendes und nachhaltiges Wassermanagement. Durch umfassende Hoch-wasserschutzmaßnahmen im Medjerdatal (Gouvernorate Jendouba und Beja) sowie Wasser-speicherprojekte in Jendouba und Kairouan werden die wesentlichen Lebens- und Existenz-grundlagen der Menschen vor Hochwasserereignissen geschützt. Über eine verstärkte Oberflä-chenwassermobilisierung und der in Folge verbesserten Wasserversorgung in der landwirt-schaftlichen Bewässerung wird zudem direkt die sozio-ökonomisch Entwicklung in der Modulre-gion gefördert. Hierdurch werden wichtige Arbeitsplätze in der Landwirtschaft erhalten und die Entstehung von neuen Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten gefördert. Im Einzelnen sind folgende Maßnahmen vorgesehen: Œ1. Neubau des Staudamms Raghai im Gouvernorat Jendouba in der Nähe der Stadt Ghardimaou bei der Einmündung des Oued El Jorf in den Fluss Raghai, ein Nebenfluss des Medjerda. Der geplante Staudamm wird ein Speichervolumen von ca. 40 Mio. m³ haben. Er wird zum Hochwasserschutz in der Region gebaut und soll zudem der Bewässerung von 5.200 ha land-wirtschaftlich genutzter Fläche sowie der Verbesserung der Trinkwasserversorgung der Delega-tion Ghardimaou dienen. Im Rahmen der Maßnahme werden ca. sieben Kilometer asphaltierter Straßen und nicht asphaltierter Wege geflutet, weshalb diese Strecken neu angelegt werden sollen. Des Weiteren ist der Bau ergänzender Straßen und einer Brücke geplant, um die Mobilität der Bevölkerung nach dem Dammbau zu erhalten bzw. im Vergleich zur Ist-Situation sogar zu verbessern. Œ2. Rehabilitierung und Erhöhung des bestehenden Staudamms Sidi Saad im Gouvernorat Kairouan. Um seine Funktionstüchtigkeit - Hochwasserschutz und Ermöglichung von Bewässe-rungslandwirtschaft - in der Region auch für die kommenden Jahrzehnte sicherzustellen, werden umfangreiche Stabilisierungs- und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen am Überlauf und anschließender Schussrinne des Staudamms vorgenommen. Darüber hinaus wird durch den Einbau einer Schwelle im Zuführungskanal zur Hochwasserentlastungsanlage das Speichervolumen um ca. 100-150 Mio. m³ erhöht. Das zusätzliche Stauvolumen kann nach der erfolgten Rehabilitierung nachhaltig für den Hochwasserschutz, aber auch zur Bewässerung landwirtschaftlicher Flächen genutzt werden. Œ3. Umfassende Hochwasserschutzmaßnahmen im oberen Teil des Medjerdatals zwischen der algerischen Grenze und dem Staudamm Sidi Salem (Zone U1+M und Zone U2). In diesen Zonen sollen Deiche, Polder und Überflutungsflächen angelegt sowie Querschnittsanpassungen durchgeführt und voraussichtlich ein Hochwasserentlastungskanal zum Schutz der Stadt Bou Salem gebaut werden. In diesem Zusammenhang werden zudem Wartungsgeräte beschafft. Des Weiteren werden Maßnahmen getroffen, um der Erderosion am Ufer des Medjerda entge-genzuwirken.

Developing expertise in quality assurance for the export sector. The development of quality infrastructure services is an important priority of Tunisian policy. However, the quality infrastructure as a whole in Tunisia is not yet in a position to meet the industry's need for services and personnel in the required quality and quantity in a timely and cost-efficient manner. University and vocational training institutes still lack the possibilities and strategies to offer metrology content in a practical and demand-oriented manner. One factor here is the lack of contacts and interaction between education providers and industry. The project aims to provide Tunisian SMEs with quality infrastructure services and trained technical staff to improve the competitiveness of their products for export to the EU.Capacity building is taking place in government institutions in particular, but also in the private sector. Support is provided to the Ministry of Industry, especially the Directorate General for Industrial and Technological Infrastructure and, where appropriate, to the members of the working groups formed in the context of negotiating comprehensive trade agreements. Ca-pacity development also takes place in national specialised institutions of the quality infra-structure (above all INRAP, the accreditation body (TUNAC), technical centres). Support is also provided to state-run university and vocational training institutions and their teaching staff. Other relevant actors are state and private sector actors that provide services for companies in the context of quality assurance for small and medium-sized enterprises in relevant sectors. Direct promotion of the target group is achieved through information measures for SMEs and support for the targeted use of QI services. The target group of the project is Tunisia's industry and economy with a focus on smes that are already exporting or aiming to do so. A further concretisation with regard to industrial products lies in the sectors of electrical products and building materials.The project is implemented in Tunisia.  Tunisian businesses have access to qualified technical staff and to quality infrastructure services that are adapted to their needs in order to enhance their products’ competitiveness for export to the European Union (EU).

Strengthening quality infrastructure for Photovoltaic in Tunisia II. Required quality certificates for PV modules and other components are currently not yet provided in Tunisia and there is a lack of transparency about the quality of products and services on the market. The reason for this is that not all the necessary competences and capacities to improve the quality assurance of PV systems are yet available and existing services are not yet sufficiently used (core problem). 
This is precisely where the project comes in with the following objective: Increased use is made of high-quality services provided by the quality infrastructure to ensure the quality and reliability of PV systems.
By promoting the increased use of quality assurance services of an efficient quality infrastructure, the quality of the products and services used in the PV market improves in the medium term. This strengthens the confidence of users in PV technology and thus supports sustainable PV market development.
Key measures to achieve the objectives are technical training, strategic advice and support in marketing/communication for the partner institutions, as well as awareness-raising measures.
The project cooperates with Tunisian quality infrastructure institutions and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy as a political partner  Quality infrastructure services of high quality to ensure the quality and reliability of PV systems are increasingly used

Nutrition-sensitive cash transfers for particularly vulnerable children in Tunisia - Phase 2. This project is a follow-up phase of the nutrition-sensitive cash transfer program for particularly vulnerable children in Tunisia (2022). The program of originally EUR 25 million is increased by EUR 6 million in the second phase and continues to be financed through SI AGER (previously SEWoH). ŒThe ongoing food crisis caused by the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and a tense economic situation in Tunisia reason the need to extend and expand the program. It contributes to mitigating negative socio-economic effects on child development in vulnerable parts of the Tunisian population. In addition to the goal of adequate nutrition and child development, the project aims to promote a supporting environment for long-term reforms in the tunisian social system, which are currently difficult because of political instability as well as a tense financial situation. In detail, the second phase extends the program length until 2024 and reaches additionally 81,000 children in need (including children with disabilities and preschool children).  By mid-2024, the temporary top-up cash transfer programme mitigates the socio-economic impact of the current crises and increases the targeted vulnerable children's access to basic services, creating an enabling environment for a sustainable, child-sensitive and shock responsive national social protection system.

The connection will enable trade in electricity between Tunisia and Italy as well as the European grid system. Accordingly, Tunisia will be able to diversify its electricity sources and increase its energy security. Moreover, the interconnector will help increase the flexibility of the Tunisian energy system, which represents an important prerequisite for the planned integration of renewable energy. In the future, the project will also enable the export of green electricity from Tunisia to Italy and the European Union. ŒThe Tunisian energy supplier STEG is the project sponsor and borrower. STEG is implementing the project together with the Italian grid operator TERNA. This is the first time a country outside the EU has benefited from a grant from the EU Commission's Connecting Europe Facility. In addition to the EU, the project is being financed by the EIB, EBRD and KfW. Furthermore, the World Bank is making an important financial contribution. The project is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2028. ŒThe aim of the project is to promote cross-border electricity trading between Tunisia and Italy, to increase energy security, reduce electricity generation costs as well as to improve market conditions for renewable energies in the North African country. Œ  The objective of the measure is to support the energy transition in Tunisia.

Prevention of malnutrition and strengthening of resilience at community level in Burundi. The FC project aims at improving food and nutrition security, especially for children and pregnant and lactating women in four provinces in Burundi, and at strengthening resilience for vulnerable households at community level. It directly (or primarily) targets children under two years, pregnant women and lactating mothers. In addition, the measures also support children up to five years of age and adolescents as well as particularly vulnerable households. The indirect target group includes the population in the program provinces and districts (about 1.8 million people) that is severely affected by the current precarious food supply (e.g., through awareness campaigns via radio, or improved availability of fortified flour). The direct target group includes about 450,000 direct beneficiaries annually. Œ ŒThe FC project stipulates a mix of multi-sectoral, needs-based measures and includes nutrition-sensitive and -specific measures through the application of a community-based approach. These include nutrition-sensitive cash transfers accompanied by nutrition-related awareness-raising activities, primarily targeting pregnant and lactating women or women with children under two years. In addition, nutrition-specific interventions are implemented, including special food for children under two years. Œ ŒThe recipients of FC funds are the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). These two UN organizations are also the executing agencies of the measure and will implement the project jointly in accordance with their respective defined responsibilities and core competencies. Œ ŒThe total cost of the project amounts to EUR 15.0 million, which will be financed from SEWOH funds. The implementation period for the services of the overall project is 60 months in total.

Deposit Protection System (Phase II). As part of the German development cooperation programme "Sustainable Economic Development", the project contributes to improving and securing access to innovative and demand-oriented microfinance services and to employment in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) (DC programme objective). After successful implementation of the project, a functioning, sustainable deposit insurance system has been established that is both accepted by the financial institutions and known to the public, which makes a significant contribution to improving the protection and mobilisation of local financial resources (FC module objective). The target group of the project are small savers and micro enterprises, who are enabled by the project to safely invest their savings in the formal financial sector. Indirectly affected are also (i) the Ghanaian financial sector, which is enabled to obtain improved, lower-risk refinancing through increased, longer-term customer deposits, and (ii) economic actors, who are generally expected to benefit from increased confidence and, in particular, from the availability of longer-term loans. For the initial capitalisation of the Deposit Insurance Fund, an IDA loan of EUR 3.5 million was made available in the first phase I. The loan is now being used for a follow-up phase. As part of a follow-up phase, another IDA loan of EUR 9.5 million will now be provided to capitalise the Deposit Insurance Fund. The complementary measure for Phase I of the project mainly serves the institutional development of the new Ghana Deposit Protection Corporation (GDPC). Grant funds of EUR 0.5 million were made available for this purpose. Further grant funds in the amount of EUR 0.5 million will be made available for the subsequent phase (Phase II). These funds will be used to strengthen the Bank of Ghana (BoG), especially in the areas of banking supervision and regulation.

Outgrower and value chain fund Phase III (AM). This is a follow-up financing (follow-on phase) of the Outgrower and Value Chain Fund (OVCF). Œ ŒThe OVCF is a facility to promote contract farming in Ghana. Contract farming is characterised by organised groups of smallholders concluding long-term cooperation agreements with agricultural enterprises (so-called "nucleus farms", usually processing or export companies). The contractual relationship not only regulates the production and marketing of the products, but usually also includes a comprehensive package of agricultural services, including the provision of the necessary inputs (seeds, fertiliser, etc.), transport and storage infrastructure and advice on good agricultural practices. The nucleus farm guarantees to buy the products of the smallholders at a mutually negotiated price in agreed quantities. The smallholders in turn guarantee to sell their products exclusively to the nucleus farm. This contractual obligation creates sufficient security for local credit institutions (project banks), which are now prepared to issue loans for productivity-enhancing investments (at their own risk) to the smallholders and the nucleus farm in the course of contractual economic alliances. The OVCF provides the necessary refinancing, especially long-term refinancing.  This is a follow-up financing (follow-on phase) of the Outgrower and Value Chain Fund (OVCF).

Recycling and Disposal of Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment in an Environmentally Sound Way, Phase 2. Population growth, increasing prosperity and changing consumer habits as well as illegal imports are leading to ever larger quantities of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) in Ghana. Most of the e-waste is processed, recycled or disposed of mainly by people working in the so-called informal sector. To obtain the valuable metals that can be recycled or sold, plastic parts are incinerated rather than being disposed of properly. This is extremely harmful to the health of the workers involved and to the environment, but it is also cheaper than sound recycling and disposal by formal sector companies, who need to comply with all relevant environmental and social standards. ŒThe objective of the project is to support sound recycling and disposal of e-waste in Ghana. This shall be achieved through the development of a financial incentive system, which shall also inform the establishment of the national e-waste recycling system. The project also places importance on the involvement of the informal sector workers, who shall remain integrated in the system without pursuing harmful recycling activities. ŒThrough the project the e-waste types that are recycled or disposed of in a particularly harmful way, such as cables and thermoplastics, are bought from collectors and recyclers from the informal sector. The collected e-waste is then tendered to accredited recycling companies who recycle and dispose of the e-waste according to relevant environmental and social standards. The collection of e-waste is undertaken at a hand-over center, built during the first phase of the project. ŒThe target group of the project includes collectors and recyclers of waste in the informal sector in Ghana's urban centers as well as private companies in the waste and recycling sector in Ghana whose recycling capacities will be enhanced.

Outgrower and value chain fund Phase III. This is a follow-up financing (follow-on phase) of the Outgrower and Value Chain Fund (OVCF). ŒThe OVCF is a facility to promote contract farming in Ghana. Contract farming is characterised by organised groups of smallholders concluding long-term cooperation agreements with agricultural enterprises (so-called "nucleus farms", usually processing or export companies). The contractual relationship not only regulates the production and marketing of the products, but usually also includes a comprehensive package of agricultural services, including the provision of the necessary inputs (seeds, fertiliser, etc.), transport and storage infrastructure and advice on good agricultural practices. The nucleus farm guarantees to buy the products of the smallholders at a mutually negotiated price in agreed quantities. The smallholders in turn guarantee to sell their products exclusively to the nucleus farm. This contractual obligation creates sufficient security for local credit institutions (project banks), which are now prepared to issue loans for productivity-enhancing investments (at their own risk) to the smallholders and the nucleus farm in the course of contractual economic alliances. The OVCF provides the necessary refinancing, especially long-term refinancing.  This is a follow-up financing (follow-on phase) of the Outgrower and Value Chain Fund (OVCF).

Program Renewable Energy. The Project concerns the second phase of a photovoltaic system in the Upper West Region in Ghana. The state-owned power generation company Volta River Authority (VRA) plans to further expand the solar capacities at two locations in the north-west of the country (Lawra and Kaleo) and to install additional capacities of around 19.5MWp. The electricity generated is fed into the national grid and supplies up to 32,000 people with electricity. In this way, a total of 8,700 tons of CO2 can be saved annually. The aim of the FC module is to make a contribution to reliable, cheaper and environmentally friendly power generation in Ghana. This will increase the share of generation capacities from renewable energies and thus contribute to the diversification of electricity generation in Ghana. Solar power plants represent an economically and ecologically sustainable alternative to generating electricity and avoiding carbon dioxide emissions in Ghana. The project also makes an important contribution to the diversification of electricity generation in Ghana. In the long term, this will contribute to the country's economic development. The target group of the planned project includes current and future electricity consumers in Ghana, who will benefit directly from an improved and environmentally friendly power supply.

Support for Technical and Vocational Education and Training II. Small and micro enterprises in the informal sector in Ghana have so far had only very limited financial and economic participation in the vocational training system. The programme "Promotion of Vocational Education and Training in Ghana" is part of the German-Ghanaian DC sector "Sustainable Economic Development" and aims to improve access to demand-oriented vocational education and training and promote decent employment. Major activities to achieve the objectives are FC-subsidised short courses, the introduction of dual training and the Competency Based Training (CBT) approach for the informal sector. The project serves to promote competition between existing training providers on the basis of the criterion of quality/market justice. Incentives are set for the training providers to adapt the quality and quantity of the training offers to the needs of the enterprises. The project partners are the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET), as well as selected training institutes and labour associations. The target group are owners, apprentices and workers of small and micro enterprises in the informal sector who have not yet had access to formal vocational training. Phase II of the FC project will first be limited to the four regions of Greater Accra, Volta, Northern Region and Ashanti along with the five occupational fields of "building construction", "automotive repairs", "consumer electronics", "garment/tailoring/dress making" and "beauty/cosmetics". Phase II will begin simultaneously with Phase I in November 2018 and is expected to be completed in October 2021. With total costs of EUR 11.5 million, the FC contribution amounts to EUR 10.0 million. The Ghanaian Government's own contribution amounts to EUR 1.0 million and that of the course participants to around EUR 0.5 million.

Renewable Energy Programme: Pilot Photovoltaic Project. The objective of the FC measure (outcome) is (i) to contribute to cost-effective and at the same time environmentally friendly power generation in order to improve the security of supply for electricity consumers in Ghana and (ii) to contribute to the diversification of the energy supply in Ghana. The overall developmental objective (impact) of the FC measure is to contribute to economic development and poverty reduction in Ghana as well as to climate and environmental protection. The target group is the entire population of Ghana. Œ ŒMain measure: Under the project, photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of at least 12 MWp are to be installed at two locations in the Upper West Region of Ghana, Kaleo and Lawra. This will be Ghana's first large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power plant. The plants will produce about 17.4 GWh of electricity per year. In addition, the project will achieve substantial CO2 savings of about 4,500 tonnes per year. The electricity generated will be fed into the national grid. Œ ŒCosts / financing: The investment costs are estimated at EUR 26.460 million. An IDA loan of up to EUR 22.816 million is to be granted for financing. The remaining financing is to be provided as part of the executing agency's own contribution.

Microfinanceprogramme III (Rural Microfinance). Access to finance for the rural population, especially for micro and small enterprises (MSEs), remains a major challenge in Ghana. The project "Microfinance III (Rural Microfinance)" supports two financial intermediaries, (i) Fidelity Bank Ghana Ltd. and (ii) Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans Company Ltd., in expanding their rural micro and small business loan portfolio. The target group of the project are economically active households and MSEs in the formal and informal sectors in rural areas. The project enabled the two financial institutions to provide efficient, demand-driven and sustainable loans to the target group. Thus, the project contributed to the overarching development cooperation program objective of improving access to innovative and demand-oriented microfinance services and increasing employment for MSEs.

Deposit Protection System. As part of the German development cooperation programme "Sustainable Economic Development", the project contributes to improving and securing access to innovative and demand-oriented microfinance services and to employment in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) (DC programme objective). After successful implementation of the project, a functioning, sustainable deposit insurance system has been established that is both accepted by the financial institutions and known to the public, which makes a significant contribution to improving the protection and mobilisation of local financial resources (FC module objective). The target group of the project are small savers and micro enterprises, who are enabled by the project to safely invest their savings in the formal financial sector. Indirectly affected are also (i) the Ghanaian financial sector, which is enabled to obtain improved, lower-risk refinancing through increased, longer-term customer deposits, and (ii) economic actors, who are generally expected to benefit from increased confidence and, in particular, from the availability of longer-term loans. For the initial capitalisation of the Deposit Insurance Fund, an IDA loan of EUR 3.5 million was made available in the first phase I. The loan is now being used for a follow-up phase. As part of a follow-up phase, another IDA loan of EUR 9.5 million will now be provided to capitalise the Deposit Insurance Fund. The complementary measure for Phase I of the project mainly serves the institutional development of the new Ghana Deposit Protection Corporation (GDPC). Grant funds of EUR 0.5 million were made available for this purpose. Further grant funds in the amount of EUR 0.5 million will be made available for the subsequent phase (Phase II). These funds will be used to strengthen the Bank of Ghana (BoG), especially in the areas of banking supervision and regulation.

Strengthening quality infrastructure in Myanmar. After almost four decades of political and economic isolation, Myanmar has embarked on an unprecedented transformation process with far-reaching economic and social reforms. Access to external markets and the integration into regional production networks and global supply chains are fundamental to the progress of Myanmar. The project promotes compliance with technical rules and standards and the avoidance of technical barriers to trade (TBT). It aims at improving the local availability and demand of quality assurance services that are based on international requirements, especially in the agricultural and food sector.

Key measures to achieve the project’s objective are strategic, conceptual, and organizational advice as well as training measures in the areas of metrology and conformity assessment. In addition, awareness-raising and information measures are fundamental to foster the exchanges between the public and the private sector.

Project partners are the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Department for Research and Innovation (DRI). Target groups are the users of quality infrastructure services, i.e. companies, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), authorities and society. Particular attention is paid to the agricultural sector, which accounts for most SMEs. Important stakeholders are specialists and managers from quality infrastructure institutions in Myanmar as well as from public and private institutions promoting domestic production and export.

The project is being implemented in Myanmar.  T he project aims at increasing the local availability and usage of quality infrastructure (QI) services which are based on international good practices. It focusses in particular on the QI service needs of the agricultural and food sector accounting for the majority of small and medium enterprises in Myanmar.

Exploration of Geothermal Energy Deposits for Municipal Development in Central America (Yacimientos II). Over 1000 Hot Springs have been identified in Centralamerica. While the field of geothermal power production has been studied since decades, concepts regarding the provision of geothermal resources related information, that can be used for direct use projects, that benefit local (especally rural) development. The regional project aims to the consideration of geothermal utility potential in the local development planning of the SICA member states. Among other things, the project is working on examples in selected communities in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The target group is the local population of municipalities whose territory comprises geothermal potential for local development. The project cooperates with the regional partner SICA (Central American and Caribbean Integration System) and national authorities (energy ministries, state owned companies, local governments and universities) in the following topics: A) Assessment of geothermal manifestations and their usage potential, B) Elaboration of manuals for exploration and use of geothermal resources, C) Cooperation for the development of geothermal energy in the SICA region. The project works intensively on a capacity development component through regional cooperation (regional geocientific working group of SICA) and bilateral exchange between SICA member states (national and local level).  Information about geothermal energy deposits are incorporated in the local development of SICA member states.

Increasing the Use of Quality-Related Services. The transformation process from a planned economy to a market economy system that began with the dissolution of the Soviet Union continues to shape the economic development of Kyrgyzstan. The change from the Soviet system of standards to an international conformity assessment system was characterized by breaks and unequal developments. The entire existing quality infrastructure (QI) was neglected, and national control systems collapsed. Although institutions of the national QI have already developed a range of internationally recognized services, however, they cannot yet meet the existing demand for services in all scopes that are relevant for the Kyrgyz economy.
Therefore, the project aims to increase the development and the use of quality-related services in Kyrgyzstan to improve product quality, consumer protection, and the competitiveness of Kyrgyz businesses in national and international markets. The main measures to achieve the goal include training and consultancy for calibration and testing laboratories in Bishkek as well as education and training for the implementation of calibration services in regional branches by employees of the national metrology institute. Furthermore, consultancy to companies on the implementation of quality-related measures in production processes and the implementation of dialogue events with the private sector in Kyrgyzstan are part of the project's measures.

Community Infrastructure III. After severe unrest between ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz and the political upheavals of 2005 and 2010, political stability has returned to Kyrgyzstan. The Kyrgyz government passed a decentralization law as early as 2002, which provided for far-reaching reforms at all administrative levels. To support the Kyrgyz decentralization process, the Municipal Infrastructure Program, now in its third phase, provides funding for the expansion of social infrastructure for municipalities. Unlike the previous phases, in Phase III the distribution of funds was decided through a local competition in which rural municipalities could apply for both micro and more expensive sub-projects. The program's target group is the 2.6 million inhabitants of the southwestern oblasts of Osh, Jalal-Abad and Batken, which are among the poorest in the country. The project executing agency is the Community Development and Investment Agency of the Kyrgyz Republic (ARIS). The program is closely based on the Village Investment Programme (VIP) developed by the World Bank in cooperation with ARIS and is known in the international context as KfW-VIP III.

Small and medium-sized irrigation perimeters III. With a supply of renewable fresh water resources of approx. 650 m³/capita/year, Morocco is exposed to a chronic and constantly worsening shortage of fresh water and is therefore considered to be water-scarce. Nevertheless, in many regions of Morocco, the majority of the available fresh water resources (approx. 80-90%) are used for agricultural irrigation. In view of the resulting continuous lowering of the groundwater table, the main challenge in the field of agricultural irrigation lies in reducing the constantly high water consumption due to ongoing dynamic socio-economic developments. Other problems facing agriculture are the increasing scarcity of resources due to climate change and the limited availability of water due to unfavorable seasonal rainfall patterns. Œ ŒThis is the starting point for the project, which aims to improve the mobilization and distribution of water by increasing production areas and yields and using efficient irrigation methods. The rehabilitation measures planned as part of the project cover the entire spectrum of hydraulic infrastructure - from water catchment to water distribution through primary and secondary canals. This is also intended to contribute to improving living conditions (including increasing incomes) in the Souss-Massa project region. The target group of the project are the small farms in the project region, whose living conditions are characterized by low incomes and insufficient employment opportunities (approx. 35,000 people). By improving subsistence levels, the program has a direct impact on the poor rural population. To ensure the success of the project, the regional project executing agencies are to be supported by a complementary measure and the water user communities by project-related basic and advanced training measures.

Outgrower and value chain fund. The programme is the 1st Phase of a project introduced as of 01.08.2008 as an ex-ante evaluation. The overall developmental objective of the FC measure is to contribute to reducing rural poverty in the programme regions. The objective of the FC measure is to improve the quantity and quality of agricultural value chains. The aim is to increase agricultural production in line with market quality and improve market access for small farmers through contractual relationships with nucleus enterprises. As part of this, medium- to long-term loans for productive investments are provided to smallholder farmers and small-scale entrepreneurs engaged in contract farming. Large agribusinesses act only as intermediaries without a financing option. The FC funds are channelled through Bank of Ghana to project banks, which are business partners of the farmers and the nucleus enterprises. The tripartite contractual relationship between smallholders, nucleus enterprise and project bank is a key feature of the measure. The target group is poor smallholders in rural areas who have land use rights but insufficient funds and knowledge for market-oriented production. The FC measure is part of the DC programme Promotion of Market-Oriented Agriculture, in which GTZ, DED and KfW cooperate. It builds on the pilot measure Programme to Promote Contract Farming, within which FC promotes rubber farming in the Western Region. The project executing agency is the Ghanaian Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The project is managed by the fund manager based at the project executing agency, which is financed through a complementary measure (EUR 1 million), as are complementary studies. In Phase I, FC will provide a loan of EUR 10 million for the fund, and in Phase II a further EUR 23 million. After a successful start-up phase, the aim is to develop a multi-donor fund.

Outgrower and value chain fund. The "Fund for the Promotion of Market-Oriented Agriculture" aims at improving the competitiveness of smallholders and operators of small and medium-sized processing enterprises on national, regional and international markets, accompanied by an increase in incomes. In order to promote commercial agriculture with smallholders, the integration of smallholders into a value chain by linking them to processing or exporting companies is necessary. This is achieved through the concept of contract farming, in which smallholders enter into contractual relationships with a commercial buyer. This opens up a path to markets with purchasing power for smallholders. ŒFor this purpose, a fund of EUR 10 million (investment funds) is being set up with FC funds, which allocates the funds on the basis of development policy criteria, with the banking operations being carried out by local banking institutions. ŒThe complementary measure finances a consultant who supports the Ministry of Agriculture in structuring and operationalising the fund and manages the fund for an initial period of two years. It is also intended that other development partners will participate in the approach.

Unterstützung der regionalen Koordinierungsstelle eines lateinamerikaweiten Netzwerkes für armenorientierte Stadtentwicklung. Ziel des Programms: Beitrag zum Aufbau und Erweiterung klimafreundlicher ÖPNV und Logistiksysteme. ŒZielgruppe: Das Vorhaben wendet sich über die CAF an lateinamerikanische Entwicklungsländer und staatliche Entwicklungsbanken, denen durch das Programm vergünstigte Zinskonditionen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Die Bevölkerung ist die letztendliche Zielgruppe an den ausgewählten Projektstandorten. Gemeinsam identifiziert sind bisher die Bevölkerung in Quito / Ecuador, Buenos Aires / Argentinien und Niterói / Brasilien. ŒIndikatoren zur Zielerreichung: Œa) Minderung von Treibhausgasen: Einsparung von etwa 200.000 t CO2/Jahr (Monitoring über die CAF) Œb) zusätzliche Mobilisierung von Finanzierung in klimafreundliche angepasste ÖPNV- und Logistiksysteme (eigene Ressourcen der CAF von 200-400 Mio. USD). ŒAusgangslage: Rund 80% der lateinamerikanischen Bevölkerung lebt in Städten Es gibt etwa 60 Städte mit mehr als einer Millionen Einwohner, mehrere Megastädte sogar mit mehr als 10 Mio. Einwohnern. Die öffentlichen Transportsysteme bestimmen maßgeblich den Grad der wirtschaftlichen Produktivität dieser Städte, die Qualität der Lebensbedingungen der Einwohner sowie deren Zugang zu Arbeitsplätzen und staatlichen Dienstleistungen. Folgen unangepasster ÖPNV und Logistiksysteme sind hohe Verkehrsaufkommen, Umweltverschmutzung, hohe Treibhausemissionen und erheblichen Transaktionskosten für die wirtschaftlichen Akteure, die sich negativ auf die Eingliederung in die internationalen Wertschöpfungsketten auswirken. Der Energieverbrauch im Transportsektor wuchs in den vergangenen 30 Jahren viermal schneller als der Gesamtenergieverbrauch. Der Ölverbrauch im Transportsektor ist einer der größten Verursacher von Treibhausgasen. Etwa 80% dieser Emissionen werden durch den Individualverkehr verursacht. Für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung Lateinamerikas ist es deswegen entscheidend, knappe Energieressourcen unter Anwendung angepasster Technologieformen (BRT-Systeme, light-rail, Metros, Logistikinfrastruktur) effizienter zu nutzen und somit die Auswirkungen auf Umwelt und Klima zu minimieren. ŒProjektprüfungen: Erfolgen durch die KfW anhand von Programmdokumenten der CAF mit ausgeweiteter Umwelt- und Sozialprüfung. In die Programmdokumente der CAF werden die Prüfung der Auswirkungen auf Klimawandel und gegebenenfalls Klimaanpassung durch die Infrastrukturvorhaben verbindlich integriert. Die KfW wird zudem einzelne Vor-Ort-Prüfungen durchführen. ŒAusgestaltung des FZ-Vorhabens: Die Mittel werden durch die CAF direkt, ohne Einschaltung von Geschäftsbanken, zur Refinanzierung von Darlehen eingesetzt. Die CAF hat einen Nachweis über die entwicklungspolitische Wirkung, Nachhaltigkeit und Klimawirkung der zu finanzierenden Vorhaben zu erbringen. Einzelvorhaben werden der KfW zur "No objection" vorgelegt. Die CAF gibt den Zinsvorteil durch die FZ-Mittel an Endkreditnehmer weiter (Nennung der dt. EZ erfolgt dabei). Das Regionalvorhaben wird mit erheblichen eigenen Mitteln der CAF ergänzt. Der Anteil je Kreditnehmer soll begrenzt werden auf maximal 40 Mio. USD. Wir gehen von einem FZ-Vertrag Ende 2017 aus.

Water Resources Management Programme V. Building on the four previous projects, the module pursues the overall developmental objective of making a contribution to the efficient and sustainable management of Jordan's scarce water resources to ensure a sustainable supply for the country. Under the project, it is planned to expand the sewage networks in Karak and Amman. After completion of the construction measures, around 120,000 people will have the opportunity to connect to the central sewerage network for the first time. The planned investments in the wastewater sector are designed to reduce the costs of drinking water production by protecting groundwater resources and thus also the need for subsidies from the state budget for the operation of the water infrastructure. In addition, a contribution can be made to mitigate climate change. ŒThe project executing agency is the Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ). KfW is providing an interest-subsidised loan of EUR 45 million to finance the measures. The Jordanian Government's own contribution amounts to 10% of the investment costs.

Programme Sustainable Land Management. Despite impressive growth in Ethiopian agriculture for more than a decade, the predominantly smallholder, subsistence-based sector does not produce enough food to feed the population. Poverty, malnutrition and undernourishment are common consequences. Food aid for millions of rural households remains routine. In addition, inappropriate land management practices, increasing land use pressure and climate change are leading to deforestation, soil depletion, erosion and ultimately soil loss, especially in the densely populated highlands and even in regions designated as potential areas. The decline in natural production potential threatens the income and employment base of farming families and prevents sustainable economic growth in large parts of rural areas. The aim of the project is erosion control and the valorization of agricultural production. Appropriate measures are to be taken to protect farms in the affected areas from the progressive deterioration of soils and production conditions and to provide them with a sustainable economic basis by increasing agricultural production and income. The project or program is in its fifth phase and complements the previous program phases SLM I-IV. Key activities to achieve the objectives are land rehabilitation and watershed management, climate-adapted agriculture and the promotion of income-generating measures and value chains. The project executing agency is the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). The target group of the project is small-scale, predominantly poor agricultural producers in the Lake Chamo catchment area.

Strengthening of agricultural value chains. The FC module "Strengthening rural value chains" aims to promote the transformation of Ethiopian agriculture into a market-oriented, productive sector that is integrated into the overall economy. In this context, agricultural productivity and market access of farms in the project area, dependent on rain-fed agriculture, will be improved, taking into account climate change impacts. Thus, the project is in line with the DC program "Promotion of Agricultural Productivity in Ethiopia" and the associated DC program objective "The income and employment situation of the rural population in Ethiopia is sustainably improved by increasing agricultural productivity". The FC contribution amounts to EUR 25 million and covers a period of almost 6 years. The funding will support small-scale agricultural enterprises through the following project components: Œ Œ Output 1: Improved farmers' access to inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, machinery. Œ Output 2: Improved services provided by key actors critical to the functioning of value chains Œ Output 3: Improved capacity of the project executing agency and project implementing units for efficient project implementation. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), which is supported by an experienced implementation consultant. The project aims to achieve synergies with World Bank's Food System Resilience Program (FSRP). Considering the multiple crises (conflicts, drought, climate change) in the East African region, the project is very relevant, and the promotion of value chains can contribute to higher yields in the agricultural sector and improved food security.

Best Practices, Strategic Dissemination, and Policy Advocacy  The project follows an ambitious approach in terms of sustainable agriculture. Many small-scale farmers have already secured their income sources, which allows them to focus on transforming their cultivation practices towards an ecological agriculture. Promoting agroecology is getting increasingly important, especially in countries focusing on large-scale agriculture with ecologically harmful methods, as it is the case in China. Consequently, the project will try to make a contribution towards strengthening agroecology both in agricultural practice and in academia.

Gute Regierungsführung und Dezentralisierung II  Bonne gouvernance et décentralisation II. Das FZ-Vorhaben im Schwerpunkt Good Governance / Dezentralisierung ist Teil eines gemeinsamen EZ-Programms "Förderung der guten Regierungsführung als Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Dezentralisierung". Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist die Stärkung von Mittelstädten als regionale Wachstumspole durch die Förderung lokaler Wirtschaftskreisläufe, insbesondere durch eine nachhaltige Nutzung der bereitgestellten kommunalen Infrastrukturen, sowie die Verbesserung der lokalen Regierungsführung. Damit soll ein Beitrag zur Grundversorgung mit wirtschaftlicher Infrastruktur und öffentlichen Dienstleistungen sowie der politischen Teilhabe auf kommunaler Ebene geleistet werden. Gleichzeitig sollen dadurch die Grundlagen für die Beteiligung der Städte am Dezentralisierungsprozess gelegt werden. Œ ŒFür das Vorhaben wurden acht Mittelstädte ausgewählt: Kpalimé, Sokodé und Tsévié (aus Phase I) sowie Aného, Atakpamé, Dapaong, Kara und Sotouboua. Zielgruppe sind die Einwohner dieser Mittelstädte und ihres Umlands. Das FZ-Modul besteht aus drei zum TZ-Modul komplementären Komponenten: 1. Ausbau bzw. Sanierung prioritärer ökonomischer und Einnahmen generierender Infrastruktur, 2. Kapazitätsstärkung der Kommunalverwaltungen als Bauherr, bei Betrieb und Wartung sowie bei der Generierung von Eigeneinnahmen und 3. Einsatz eines innovativen, Bürgerpartizipationssystems zur Stärkung von Transparenz und Partizipation der lokalen Verwaltungsprozesse. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des FZ-Vorhabens richten sich nach den zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln von EUR 13,8 Mio., von denen EUR 12 Mio. aus FZ-Mitteln, EUR 1,8 Mio. (15% des FZ-Beitrags) aus Eigenbeiträgen der togoischen Regierung sowie rd. EUR 185.000 aus Eigenbeiträgen der fünf neu hinzugekommenen Mittelstädten finanziert werden sollen.

Ländliche Entwicklung und Landwirtschaft II  Programme d&apos Appui aux Pistes Rurales (PAPR) II. Der Agrarsektor stellt in Togo einen wichtigen Grundpfeiler der Volkswirtschaft und ein zentrales Element der staatlichen Strategie zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, Armutsbekämpfung und Ernährungssicherung dar. Das sektorale Entwicklungspotenzial ist jedoch durch den desolaten Zu-stand der ruralen Infrastruktur, insbesondere auch des ländlichen Wegenetzes, wesentlich einge-schränkt. Die geplante FZ-Maßnahme verbessert im Rahmen des gemeinsamen EZ-Programms "Ländliche Entwicklung und Landwirtschaft" die Anbindung ländlicher Betriebe und Haushalte in den Baumwoll-, Kaffee- und Kakaoanbaugebieten an Betriebsmittel- und Absatz-märkte und steigert dadurch ihre wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit. Der Zugang der Haushalte zu Gesundheits- und Bildungsangeboten erhöht sich ebenfalls, wovon besonders Frauen profitieren. Hierzu sollen laut aktualisierter Planung ca. 600 km ländliche Wege bzw. Pisten und damit asso-ziierte Bauwerke in den Anbaugebieten saniert und ihr nachhaltiger Betrieb unterstützt werden. Geeignete Bauleistungen ebenso wie die manuellen Wartungsarbeiten werden soweit als möglich arbeitsintensiv unter Beteiligung der lokalen Landbevölkerung durchgeführt. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens richten sich nach den zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln von EUR 35,3 Mio. (offenes Programm), der deutsche FZ-Beitrag beläuft sich dabei auf einen Zu-schuss von EUR 17,0 Mio. Die Agence Française de Développement (AFD) stellt eine Ko-Finanzierung zusätzlicher Pistenrehabilitierungen in den Baumwollanbaugebieten im Rahmen der Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI) über einen Kredit i.H.v. EUR 10,0 Mio. zur Verfügung, wobei die KfW als Chef de file agiert. Der togolesische Eigenbeitrag über EUR 8,3 Mio. wird u. a. für die Unterhaltung der rehabilitierten Pisten verwendet. ŒZusätzliche Mittel über EUR 20,0 Mio. für eine Ausweitung des Programms wurden einer Vorratsprüfung unterzogen, von denen EUR 10 Mio. von der KfW zugesagt wurden (Finanzierungs-vertrag von 19.10.2020). Eine Beteiligung der AFD wie in der Phase zuvor ist geplant. ŒPisten verwendet.  Au Togo, le secteur agricole est un pilier important de l'économie nationale et un élément central de la stratégie de l'État pour le développement économique, la réduction de la pauvreté et la sécurité alimentaire. Toutefois, le potentiel de développement sectoriel est considérablement limité par l'état de délabrement des infrastructures rurales, en particulier du réseau routier rural. La mesure prévue dans le cadre du programme commun de coopération au développement "Développement rural et agriculture" améliore la connexion des entreprises et des ménages ruraux des zones de culture du coton, du café et du cacao avec les marchés d'approvisionnement et de vente, ce qui permet d'améliorer leurs performances économiques. L'accès des ménages aux services de santé et d'éducation est également amélioré, dont profitent en particulier les femmes. Selon la planification actualisée, environ 600 km de routes et de pistes rurales et les bâtiments associés dans les zones de production doivent être réhabilités et leur fonctionnement durable soutenu. Des travaux de construction appropriés ainsi que des travaux d'entretien manuels seront effectués, dans la mesure du possible, à forte intensité de main-d' uvre avec la participation de la population rurale locale. Œ ŒLe coût total du projet est basé sur les fonds disponibles de 35,3 millions d'euros (programme ouvert), la contribution du FC allemand s'élevant à une subvention de 17,0 millions d'euros (5 millions d'euros de 201266980 et 12 millions d'euros de 201467356).

Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung II  Formation Professionelle et emploi des jeunes II. Togo gehört mit Platz 165 unter 189 Ländern beim Human Development Index (HDI) zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt (Stand 2017) und weist ein relativ hohes Bevölkerungswachstum von 2,5% auf. Das Pro-Kopf-Einkommen beträgt 679,3 USD (Stand 2018) und 55,1% der Bevölkerung leben unterhalb der nationalen Armutsgrenze. Rund 84-90% der Togoer sind im informellen Sektor tätig. Beschäftigung im formellen Sektor ist fast ausschließlich auf den öffentlichen Bereich beschränkt. Die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit bzw. -unterbeschäftigung liegen nach Schätzungen bei rund 33%, wobei gleichzeitig aufgrund der fehlenden Kapazität und Qualität in der formalen und non-formalen Berufsbildung und in den Ansätzen der Beschäftigungsförderung die Aussichten junger Frauen und Männer auf formelle und informelle Beschäftigung unzureichend (Kernproblem) sind. Œ ŒDurch das FZ-Vorhaben "Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung in Togo" wird der togolesische Berufsbildungssektor gefördert. Es orientiert sich an den relevanten politischen Vorgaben des Sektorentwicklungsplans Bildung der togolesischen Regierung als auch an den Sektorstrategien des BMZ. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, den Zugang und die Qualität der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung in ausgewählten Wachstumsregionen Togos zu verbessern.

Rehabilitation of the hydropower plant in Nangbeto in the context of the West African Power Pool (WAPP). Le programme prévoit la réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto (65 MW) au Togo. Il comprend des mesures de réhabilitation et les prestations d'un ingénieur conseil pour la planification et le suivi du projet. L'aménagement hydroélectrique de Nangbéto fut construit entre 1984 et 1987, grâce entre autres, au budget de la Coopération allemande. La centrale fournit de l'électricité au Togo et à son pays voisin, le Bénin, depuis 1988. L'électricité produite par la centrale est la moins chère et la seule source d'énergie renouvelable actuellement en exploitation dans les deux pays. Dans ce contexte, le programme de réhabilitation est considéré comme un projet prioritaire du système d'Echanges d'Energie Electrique Ouest Africain (EEEOA). Œ ŒL'objectif du projet est de garantir à long terme une source d'approvisionnement électrique fiable, de moindre coût et respectueuse de l'environnement (Objectif FZ). En contribuant à la satisfaction des besoins en électricité des ménages, des services d'Etat et des entreprises, le projet participe durablement au développement économique et social des pays (objectif de la politique de développement). Par ailleurs, le projet contribuera à la lutte contre le changement climatique (évitement de CO2 estimé à 51.493 tonnes par an). Les bénéficiaires du projet sont les consommateurs actuels et futurs (ménages, entreprises, structures étatiques) au Bénin et au Togo.

Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung  Programme de Formation Technique et Professionnelle et Emploi des Jeunes. Togo gehört mit Platz 165 unter 189 Ländern beim Human Development Index (HDI) zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt (Stand 2017) und weist ein relativ hohes Bevölkerungswachstum von 2,5% auf. Das Pro-Kopf-Einkommen beträgt 679,3 USD (Stand 2018) und 55,1% der Bevölkerung leben unterhalb der nationalen Armutsgrenze. Rund 84-90% der Togoer sind im informellen Sektor tätig. Beschäftigung im formellen Sektor ist fast ausschließlich auf den öffentlichen Bereich beschränkt. Die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit bzw. -unterbeschäftigung liegen nach Schätzungen bei rund 33%, wobei gleichzeitig aufgrund der fehlenden Kapazität und Qualität in der formalen und non-formalen Berufsbildung und in den Ansätzen der Beschäftigungsförderung die Aussichten junger Frauen und Männer auf formelle und informelle Beschäftigung unzureichend (Kernproblem) sind. Œ ŒDurch das FZ-Vorhaben "Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung in Togo" wird der togolesische Berufsbildungssektor gefördert. Es orientiert sich an den relevanten politischen Vorgaben des Sektorentwicklungsplans Bildung der togolesischen Regierung als auch an den Sektorstrategien des BMZ. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, den Zugang und die Qualität der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung in ausgewählten Wachstumsregionen Togos zu verbessern. Der Fokus soll dabei auf Berufsbildungsbereichen im landwirtschaftlichen Sektor, sowie auf den mit der Landwirtschaft im weiteren Sinne verbundenen Berufen liegen. Damit soll ein Beitrag geleistet werden zur Verbesserung der Ausbildungs-, Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensmöglichkeiten besonders von Jugendlichen in ausgewählten Wachstumsregionen Togos (EZ-Programmziel). Œ ŒZur Erreichung der genannten Ziele werden im Rahmen der ersten Phase des Vorhabens drei Komponenten finanziert: Erstens werden antragsbasiert gemeinsam mit dem Träger vorab ausgewählte öffentliche und private Ausbildungseinrichtungen rehabilitiert, erweitert und ausgestattet (Infrastruktur- und Hauptkomponente)  zweitens werden begleitend ergänzende Investivmaßnahmen (Aus- und Weiterbildung an den angeschafften Maschinen, Stärkung von Managementkapazitäten, Weiterentwicklung von Ausbildungsprogrammen etc.) finanziert und drittens ein Internationaler Durchführungsconsultant unter Vertrag genommen.

Landwirtschaft  Programme d&apos Appui aux Pistes Rurales (PAPR). Der Agrarsektor stellt in Togo einen wichtigen Grundpfeiler der Volkswirtschaft und ein zentrales Element der staatlichen Strategie zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, Armutsbekämpfung und Ernährungssicherung dar. Das sektorale Entwicklungspotenzial ist jedoch durch den desolaten Zu-stand der ruralen Infrastruktur, insbesondere auch des ländlichen Wegenetzes, wesentlich einge-schränkt. Die geplante FZ-Maßnahme verbessert im Rahmen des gemeinsamen EZ-Programms "Ländliche Entwicklung und Landwirtschaft" die Anbindung ländlicher Betriebe und Haushalte in den Baumwoll-, Kaffee- und Kakaoanbaugebieten an Betriebsmittel- und Absatz-märkte und steigert dadurch ihre wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit. Der Zugang der Haushalte zu Gesundheits- und Bildungsangeboten erhöht sich ebenfalls, wovon besonders Frauen profitieren. Hierzu sollen laut aktualisierter Planung ca. 600 km ländliche Wege bzw. Pisten und damit asso-ziierte Bauwerke in den Anbaugebieten saniert und ihr nachhaltiger Betrieb unterstützt werden. Geeignete Bauleistungen ebenso wie die manuellen Wartungsarbeiten werden soweit als möglich arbeitsintensiv unter Beteiligung der lokalen Landbevölkerung durchgeführt. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens richten sich nach den zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln von EUR 35,3 Mio. (offenes Programm), der deutsche FZ-Beitrag beläuft sich dabei auf einen Zu-schuss von EUR 17,0 Mio. Die Agence Française de Développement (AFD) stellt eine Ko-Finanzierung zusätzlicher Pistenrehabilitierungen in den Baumwollanbaugebieten im Rahmen der Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI) über einen Kredit i.H.v. EUR 10,0 Mio. zur Verfügung, wobei die KfW als Chef de file agiert. Der togolesische Eigenbeitrag über EUR 8,3 Mio. wird u. a. für die Unterhaltung der rehabilitierten Pisten verwendet. ŒZusätzliche Mittel über EUR 20,0 Mio. für eine Ausweitung des Programms wurden einer Vorratsprüfung unterzogen, von denen EUR 10 Mio. von der KfW zugesagt wurden (Finanzierungs-vertrag von 19.10.2020). Eine Beteiligung der AFD wie in der Phase zuvor ist geplant. ŒPisten verwendet.  Au Togo, le secteur agricole est un pilier important de l'économie nationale et un élément central de la stratégie de l'État pour le développement économique, la réduction de la pauvreté et la sécurité alimentaire. Toutefois, le potentiel de développement sectoriel est considérablement limité par l'état de délabrement des infrastructures rurales, en particulier du réseau routier rural. La mesure prévue dans le cadre du programme commun de coopération au développement "Développement rural et agriculture" améliore la connexion des entreprises et des ménages ruraux des zones de culture du coton, du café et du cacao avec les marchés d'approvisionnement et de vente, ce qui permet d'améliorer leurs performances économiques. L'accès des ménages aux services de santé et d'éducation est également amélioré, dont profitent en particulier les femmes. Selon la planification actualisée, environ 600 km de routes et de pistes rurales et les bâtiments associés dans les zones de production doivent être réhabilités et leur fonctionnement durable soutenu. Des travaux de construction appropriés ainsi que des travaux d'entretien manuels seront effectués, dans la mesure du possible, à forte intensité de main-d' uvre avec la participation de la population rurale locale. Œ ŒLe coût total du projet est basé sur les fonds disponibles de 35,3 millions d'euros (programme ouvert), la contribution du FC allemand s'élevant à une subvention de 17,0 millions d'euros (5 millions d'euros de 201266980 et 12 millions d'euros de 201467356).

Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbeto im Kontext des West African Power Pool (WAPP)  Réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto dans le cadre de la West African Power Pool (WAPP). Das Programm sieht die Rehabilitierung des Wasserkraftwerks Nangbéto (65 MW) in Togo vor. Es umfasst Modernisierungsmaßnahmen sowie Consultingleistungen zur Planung und Durchführung des Vorhabens. Das Kraftwerk wurde von 1984 bis 1987 mit Mitteln der deutschen finanziellen Zusammenarbeit (FZ) gebaut und liefert seit 1988 Strom für Togo und sein Nachbarland Benin. Heute produziert Nangbéto den mit Abstand günstigsten Strom und ist die einzige genutzte erneuerbare Energiequelle beider Länder. Aus diesen Gründen betrachtet auch der regionale Energieverbund WAPP (West African Power Pool) die Rehabilitierung als Priorität. Œ ŒZiel der FZ-Maßnahme ist es, langfristig zu einer zuverlässigen Versorgung Togos und Benins mit kostengünstigem und umweltfreundlichem Strom beizutragen (FZ-Modulziel). Mit der Deckung des Strombedarfs der Haushalte, öffentlichen Einrichtungen und Unternehmen leistet die Maßnahme einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Entwicklung der Länder (übergeordnetes entwicklungspolitisches Ziel). Zudem wird ein positiver Beitrag zum globalen Klimaschutz geleistet (Vermeidung von über 51.493 Tonnen CO2/Jahr). Zielgruppe sind die derzeitigen und zukünftigen Stromkonsumenten (private Haushalte, Unternehmen, öffentliche Einrichtungen) in Benin und Togo. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens belaufen sich auf 18,05 Mio. EUR. Der deutsche Beitrag von 15 Mio. EUR soll in Form eines FZ-Zuschusses dargestellt werden. Empfänger der Finanzierung ist die Communtauté Electrique du Bénin (CEB). Die CEB ist ein beninisch-togolesisches Gemeinschaftsunternehmen, welches für die Elektrizitätserzeugung, -importe und -übertragung in beiden Ländern zuständig ist. Der Eigenanteil der CEB beträgt 3,05 Mio. EUR.  Le programme prévoit la réhabilitation de la centrale hydroélectrique de Nangbéto (65 MW) au Togo.

Programm zur Unterstützung der Dezentralisierung  Programme d&apos Appui à la Décentralisation (PAD). Das FZ-Vorhaben im Schwerpunkt Good Governance / Dezentralisierung ist Teil eines gemeinsamen EZ-Programms "Förderung der guten Regierungsführung als Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Dezentralisierung". Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist die Stärkung von Mittelstädten als regionale Wachstumspole durch die Förderung lokaler Wirtschaftskreisläufe, insbesondere durch eine nachhaltige Nutzung der bereitgestellten kommunalen Infrastrukturen, sowie die Verbesserung der lokalen Regierungsführung. Damit soll ein Beitrag zur Grundversorgung mit wirtschaftlicher Infrastruktur und öffentlichen Dienstleistungen sowie der politischen Teilhabe auf kommunaler Ebene geleistet werden. Gleichzeitig sollen dadurch die Grundlagen für die Beteiligung der Städte am Dezentralisierungsprozess gelegt werden. Für das Vorhaben wurden die drei Mittelstädte Kpalimé, Sokodé und Tsévié ausgewählt. Zielgruppe sind die 892.000 Einwohner dieser Mittelstädte und ihres Umlands. Œ ŒDas FZ-Modul besteht aus drei zum TZ-Modul komplementären Komponenten: 1. Ausbau bzw. Sanierung prioritärer ökonomischer Infrastruktur, 2. Kapazitätsstärkung der Kommunalverwaltungen als Bauherr, bei Betrieb und Wartung sowie bei der Generierung von Eigeneinnahmen, und 3. Einsatz eines innovativen Bürgerpartizipationssystems zur Stärkung von Transparenz und Partizipation der lokalen Verwaltungsprozesse. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des FZ-Vorhabens richten sich nach den zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln von EUR 5,815 Mio., von denen EUR 5 Mio aus FZ-Mitteln, EUR 0,75 Mio. (15% des FZ-Beitrags) aus Eigenbeiträgen der togoischen Regierung sowie EUR 65.000 aus Eigenbeiträgen der Kommunen finanziert werden sollen. Im Rahmen einer Vorratsprüfung wurden zusätzliche Investitionsmöglichkeiten in den drei genannten sowie in sieben weiteren Mittelstädten identifiziert.  Le projet de la Coopération Financière (CF) dans le secteur prioritaire Bonne Gouvernance / Décentralisation fait partie d'un programme conjoint de la Coopération allemande "Promotion de la bonne gouvernance comme contribution à la mise en uvre de la décentralisation". L'objectif du module CF est de renforcer les villes moyennes en tant que pôles de croissance régionaux en favorisant les cycles économiques locaux, en particulier par l'utilisation durable des infrastructures municipales fournies, et d'améliorer la gouvernance locale. Il s'agit de contribuer à la fourniture de base d'infrastructures économiques et de services publics et à la participation politique au niveau municipal. Dans le même temps, il est destiné à jeter les bases de la participation des villes au processus de décentralisation. Les trois villes moyennes de Kpalimé, Sokodé et Tsévié ont été sélectionnées pour le projet. Le groupe cible comprend les 892 000 habitants de ces villes moyennes et de leurs environs. Œ ŒLe module FC comprend trois composantes complémentaires au module de la Coopération technique (CT) : 1. l'expansion ou la réhabilitation des infrastructures économiques prioritaires, 2. le renforcement des capacités des autorités locales en tant que clients, en matière d'exploitation et d'entretien et de génération de leurs propres revenus, et 3. l'utilisation d'un système de participation citoyenne innovante, basé sur la téléphonie mobile, pour renforcer la transparence et la participation des processus administratifs locaux. Œ ŒLe coût total du projet CF est basé sur les fonds disponibles de 5,815 millions d'euros, dont 5 millions d'euros doivent être financés par les fonds FC, 0,75 million d'euros (15% de la contribution CF) par les contributions propres du gouvernement togolais et 65 000 euros par les contributions propres des municipalités.

Promotion of a loan guarantee fund for infrastructure - InfraCredit II - VPT1. Despite the long-term planning periods for infrastructure investments, infrastructure companies in Nigeria mainly refinance themselves through short-term bank loans, often denominated in foreign currency, as there are hardly any long-term financing options in local currency on the Nigerian capital market. The Financial Cooperation project aims at contributing to the mobilisation of local private capital for investments in infrastructure through the cooperation with InfraCredit, the first credit guarantee facility for infrastructure finance in Nigeria. ŒInfraCredit guarantees local currency bonds of infrastructure companies, by that improving their ratings making them more attractive for the local capital market. Local pension funds in particular have a strong interest in investing in good quality local currency bonds. In order to successfully implement its business model, InfraCredit needs adequate capital resources to back the issued guarantees with equity. The granting of an equity-eligible subordinated loan enables InfraCredit to expand its guarantee portfolio and successfully introduce guarantees for infrastructure financing to the Nigerian capital market. ŒInfraCredit's loan guarantees improve the financing situation of infrastructure companies significantly and thus lead to the expansion and maintenance of infrastructure. This secures and creates jobs in the construction sector and increases the economic activity of companies in the affected areas. Similarly, living conditions by households in areas covered by the projects improve.

Green Credit Line. Although the Nigerian energy market is developing rapidly, electricity supply remains inadequate, especially in rural areas. Reasons for this include the lack of maintenance of the energy supply infrastructure, failures in power stations, scarcity of oil resources and distribution and liquidity bottlenecks of the energy suppliers. Due to this low energy supply, private and commercial consumers resort to diesel generators, which are often more expensive and polluting. Although there are opportunities to invest in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE), these are limited and not adapted to the needs of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). ŒThe aim of the project is therefore to develop needs-based, efficient and sustainable medium- to long-term financial services for investments in EE and RE by MSMEs. Through Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs) of the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) loans are granted to microfinance companies and MSMEs for investments in EE and RE. The measures financed in this way are intended to contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions and energy consumption. These cost savings lead to a gain in productivity, which in turn has a positive impact on the expansion of the business and the securing and creation of jobs. Thus, investments in EE and RE not only offer the opportunity to contribute to climate protection but also to sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. ŒThe DBN and its PFIs will develop and adapt their products and processes with regard to green finance with the support of an accompanying measure. Furthermore, both the DBN and the PFIs will be supported in their monitoring - especially regarding CO2 and energy savings - and activities for the marketing of the credit line will be developed jointly.

Œ  Although the Nigerian energy market is developing rapidly, electricity supply remains inadequate, especially in rural areas. Reasons for this include the lack of maintenance of the energy supply infrastructure, failures in power stations, scarcity of oil resources and distribution and liquidity bottlenecks of the energy suppliers. Due to this low energy supply, private and commercial consumers resort to diesel generators, which are often more expensive and polluting. Although there are opportunities to invest in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE), these are limited and not adapted to the needs of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). ŒThe aim of the project is therefore to develop needs-based, efficient and sustainable medium- to long-term financial services for investments in EE and RE by MSMEs. Through Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs) of the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) loans are granted to microfinance companies and MSMEs for investments in EE and RE. The measures financed in this way are intended to contribute to a reduction in CO2 emissions and energy consumption. These cost savings lead to a gain in productivity, which in turn has a positive impact on the expansion of the business and the securing and creation of jobs. Thus, investments in EE and RE not only offer the opportunity to contribute to climate protection but also to sustainable economic growth in Nigeria. ŒThe DBN and its PFIs will develop and adapt their products and processes with regard to green finance with the support of an accompanying measure. Furthermore, both the DBN and the PFIs will be supported in their monitoring - especially regarding CO2 and energy savings - and activities for the marketing of the credit line will be developed jointly.

Netzanbindung Solarkomplex NOOR Midelt  Raccordement du complexe solaire NOOR Midelt. Die Maßnahme sieht die Finanzierung der Netzanbindung für die erste Phase (NOOR Midelt I und II) des Solarkomplexes "NOOR Midelt" vor. Die Solarkraftwerke sollen über eine 400 kV-Übertragungsleitung zum Umspannwerk El Ouali verbunden werden. Dafür wird in der Nähe des Standortes des Solarkomplexes eine 225 kV-Schaltanlage gebaut. Mittels dieser Schaltanlage wird der Komplex über zwei Stromübertragungsleitungen an das nationale Hochspannungsnetz angeschlossen. Ebenfalls vorgesehen sind die Erweiterung der bereits bestehenden 225 kV-Umspannanlage El Ouali. Œ ŒKreditnehmer ist die Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy, MASEN. Das staatliche Versorgungsunternehmen ONEE (Office National de l'Electricité et de l'Eau Potable) wird aber als Projektträger für Vorbereitung, Ausschreibung und Umsetzung verantwortlich sein, da ihm die Hoheit über die Übertragungsnetze obliegt und es über die erforderliche Kompetenz verfügt. Nach Fertigstellung wird ONEE als Netzbetreiber auch Eigentümer der Leitung und verantwortlich für den Betrieb sein. Œ ŒDas FZ-Modul ermöglicht das Einspeisen der durch den Solarkomplex NOOR Midelt erzeugten erneuerbaren Energie ins nationale Stromnetz und leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Kern-Herausforderungen im marokkanischen Energiesektor.

Meerwasserentsalzung Sidi Ifni  Dessalement de l&apos eau de mer Sidi Ifni. In der südmarokkanischen Region um die Städte Sidi Ifni, Tiznit und Tlat Lakhsass stehen in den nächsten Jahren in nicht mehr ausreichendem Umfang Trinkwasserressourcen zur Versorgung der Bevölkerung zur Verfügung. Ein wesentlicher Grund dafür ist die gestiegene Nachfrage, verursacht durch die Entwicklung der Region und den Rückgang bestehender Oberflächen- und Grundwasserressourcen. Das durch den Klimawandel verstärkte, zunehmende Eindringen von Meerwasser in Grundwasserspeicher und die daraus resultierende Versalzung der Grundwasserressourcen stellen gerade für die küstennahen, wirtschaftlich bedeutenden Regionen eine zusätzliche Bedrohung dar. Da andere Optionen zur Bedienung des Trinkwasserbedarfs entweder nicht machbar oder mit einem noch höheren finanziellen wie technischen Aufwand verbunden sind, ist der Bau einer Meerwasserentsalzungsanlage geplant. Œ ŒDie Projektmaßnahmen betreffen den Bau einer Meerwasserentsalzungsanlage mittels Umkehrosmose mit einer Kapazität von 8640 m³/Tag. Zusätzlich ist der Bau von zwei Transferleitungen zwischen Tiznit und Sidi Ifni (DN 400-500, 45km) sowie zwischen Tiznit und Tlat Lakhssas (DN 160-315, 39km) in die zusätzlich zu versorgenden Gebiete vorgesehen. Darüber hinaus sollen Rehabilitierungen der Verteilungsnetze in den Städten Sidi Ifni und Ouled Teima durch das Vorhaben finanziert werden. Œ ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist es, die kontinuierliche, nachhaltige und bedarfsgerechte Versorgung von hygienisch unbedenklichem, den marokkanischen Normen entsprechendem Trinkwasser in der Projektregion sicherzustellen. Das soll durch die bedarfsgerechte und nachhaltige Erweiterung und Verbesserung der Trinkwasserversorgung mittels Meerwasserentsalzung in der südmarokkanischen Küstenregion um die Stadt Sidi Ifni erreicht werden. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die Bevölkerung in den Städten Sidi Ifni, Tiznit und Tlat Lakhssas sowie jener kleinen und mittleren Zentren, die durch die Transferleitungen zwischen Sidi Ifni - Tiznit sowie Tifni und Tlat Lakhssas versorgt werden können. Insgesamt leben in der Projektregion ca. 340.000 Menschen, von denen ca. 75 % überwiegend in ländlichen Gegenden angesiedelt sind.

Unterstützung des nationalen Abwasserprogramms im ländlichen Raum  Programme National d&apos Assainissement Rural. Mit dem FZ-Vorhaben "Unterstützung des nationalen Abwasserprogramms im ländlichen Raum" in Marokko soll eine ökonomisch effiziente und umweltgerechte Sanitärversorgung in ausgewählten, ländlichen Kommunen Marokkos aufgebaut werden. Dies geschieht über den Bau von Kläranlagen sowie dazugehöriger Abwasserinfrastruktur. Hierfür wird ein FZ-Entwicklungskredit über 30 Mio. EUR an den marokkanischen Staat herausgelegt und über das marokkanische Innenministerium umgesetzt. ŒIm ländlichen Raum Marokkos leben schätzungsweise 36 % der marokkanischen Bevölkerung (rund 13,1 Mio. Menschen). Davon haben nur rund 40 % Zugang zu verbesserter Sanitärversorgung, wobei es sich hierbei größtenteils um den Zugang zu einfachen Klärgruben handelt. Lediglich 10 % der Haushalte in ländlichen Regionen sind an ein Abwassernetz angeschlossen (i.V. zu 75 % in städtischen Regionen), von den hier eingespeisten Abwässern werden allerdings nur ca. 3 % sicher und fachgerecht behandelt und entsorgt (i.V. zu 50 % im städtischen Raum). Dies geht für die ländliche Bevölkerung mit im Vergleich zur marokkanischen Gesamtbevölkerung erhöhten Hygiene- und Gesundheitsrisiken einher und birgt die Gefahr von Umweltbelastungen, z.B. in Form von Verschmutzungen der Grund- und Oberflächengewässer. Im Rahmen des nationalen Programms "Programme National d'Assainissement Mutualisé" (PNAM), das unter Leitung des marokkanischen Innenministeriums umgesetzt wird, soll dieses Problem angegangen werden. Im Rahmen von PNAM sollen bis 2040 flächendeckende Abwasserinfrastruktur im ländlichen Marokko bereitgestellt werden. Das FZ-Vorhaben unterstützt die marokkanischen Partner bei der Umsetzung dieses Programms. ŒDas Vorhaben trägt zum Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, "Sauberes Wasser und Sanitärversorgung", bei. Die Abwasserentsorgung im ländlichen Raum ist darüber hinaus verbunden mit SDG 3, "Gesundheit und Wohlergehen" sowie SDG 10, "Weniger Ungleichheit".

Vocational education and youth employment IV. Currently, Togo's vocational training system does not meet the demand for skilled labour. One of the reasons for this is the significant shortage of qualified technical vocational teaching and training staff. The Togolese government has recognised this shortage and has prioritised the further development of technical vocational education and training (TVET) in line with the quantitative and qualitative needs of the economy in its current development plan for the education sector (Plan Sectoriel de l'Education 2014-2025). With the national reform agenda Feuille de Route Gouvernementale Togo 2025, the Institut National de Formation et de Perfectionnement Professionnels (INFPP) has been given the mandate to fulfil the task of initial and further training of TVET teachers. ŒThe objective of the project is to establish a high-quality and needs-orientated initial and further training for TVET teachers at the INFPP. This objective is to be achieved by expanding the infrastructure, modernising the equipment and developing the capacities of INFPP teaching staff (master trainers). This will create the conditions for the demand-orientated improvement of the skills of TVET teachers in Togo. The deployment of qualified teachers at the vocational training institutes in turn contributes to increasing the quality, demand- and practice-orientation of vocational training. This improves the skills and thus the employability of graduates and generates positive income effects. A qualified workforce available to the labour market will strengthen the productivity and competitiveness of companies.

Health System Strengthening - Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights III. The project (BMZ no. 2021 68 904) comprises the third phase of the programme "Health System Strengthening - Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Togo", which has been implemented in the Kara region since May 2018 and will be extended to the Savanes and Centrale regions with the additional financing of €22 million. ŒTogo remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita income of around USD 2 per day. Healthcare provision for the population in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is precarious, particularly in rural areas. The maternal mortality rate was 36/100,000 in 2017 and the newborn mortality rate was 25/1,000 in 2020. The project addresses this problem. ŒBy strengthening the health system in the area of SRHR, a contribution is made to improving maternal and newborn health. The aim of the programme is to improve access, use and quality of health services and to increase demand. Under the programme, rural health facilities and district hospitals are to be rehabilitated, expanded and equipped with medical equipment (component 1). Targeted investment-related training and communication measures (components 2 and 3) support the improvement of quality and the creation of demand. The family planning services in the communities are also supported and expanded. ŒThe project executing agency is the Togolese Ministry of Health (Ministère de la Santé, de l'Hygiène Publique et de l'Accès Universel aux Soins), which delegates implementation to the regional directorate. The target group of Phase III of the programme continues to be the rural and predominantly poor population, particularly women of childbearing age and newborns in the Centrale and Savanes regions.

RE/EE - Initiative SSA / Serengeti Energy. Access to reliable and affordable electricity is one of the basic requirements for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction. In Africa, on average, only 24% of the population are connected to the central power supply. In many rural areas there are often far fewer. Inadequate investment conditions and a lack of needs-based finance prevent the private sector from unlocking the huge potential of renewable energy resources. At the same time, the insufficient available capacities are used inefficiently. This is due to a lack of awareness among the population, but also to a lack of financing options for corresponding investments. ŒIn order to meet these challenges, especially from the financial sector perspective, the 4E-initiative provides for the establishment of a fund for Africa that supports the demand-based and needs-based funding of investments in the field of renewable energies and energy efficiency (EERE). Specifically, project companies should be provided with equity and technical expertise in the early and growth phases, thus enabling the implementation of EERE investments. In the medium term, this will make EERE investments for the local financial sector bankable or, in the long term, capital market-ready. The remaining need for debt financing (e.g. in the form of long-term loans) can thus be covered by local financial institutions. Complementary instruments such as the Global Climate Partnership Fund (financed by the BMU), the partnership facility for strengthening local bond markets II, but also the Get-FiT initiative in Uganda support this process.

Reproductive Health incl. Family Planning  HIV/AIDS Prevention in the ECOWAS Region. The project is intended to help improve the sexual and reproductive health of the population in the ECOWAS region. This will be achieved mainly by covering the demand for family planning services and improving the availability of sexual and reproductive health commodities (RHC), particularly contraceptives. Such measures may prevent unwanted pregnancies, increase birth intervals and reduce the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS. The regional health organisation WAHO has, to this end, set up a regional funding mechanism (RFM). The RFM is intended to promote the purchase of contraceptives and strengthen the capacity of the relevant local facilities. The strengthening of the regional health organisation, WAHO, will further help improve the coordination of national policies and will increase the significance of SRH policies. The regional programme notably supports cooperation between public and private healthcare professionals too. Furthermore, the programme promotes regional integration and the distribution of best practices between the countries. ŒThe target group is the sexually active population of the ECOWAS region, focusing particularly on the population of the pilot countries (Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Niger) which will be given priority in the allocation of the RFM funds. ŒThe RFM has been developed and pilot-tested in two preceding phases. The current project is intended to consolidate the funding scheme and build on the experiences gained at previous stages.

Stärkung medizinischer Versorgung für Kinder in Eritrea. Das Übertragungsleitung "Kamanyola - Großraum Bukavu" führt vom regionalen Wasserkraftwerk (WKW) Ruzizi III in die Demokratische Republik Kongo (DRC). Diese 68 km lange Übertragungsleitung ist wesentlicher Bestandteil für die Ableitung des in Ruzizi III produzierten Stroms und von enormer Bedeutung für die kostengünstige und verlässliche Stromversorgung des Ostkongos. Das an der Grenze zwischen DRC und Ruanda liegende WKW Ruzizi III sowie die zugehörigen regionalen Übertragungsleitungen werden von den drei Mitgliedsstaaten der regionalen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft der Länder der Großen Seen (Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs - CEPGL) umgesetzt (DRC, Burundi, Ruanda). Der in Ruzizi III produzierte Strom (installierte Kapazität: 147 MW) soll von der gemeinsamen Schaltanlage Kamanyola gleichermaßen in die drei Mitgliedsstaaten der CEPGL abgeleitet werden. Ziel ist es, durch 220 kV-Übertragungsleitungen in die drei Länder insbesondere den angrenzenden Ballungszentren dieser Staaten einen sicheren Zugang zu Strom zu ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus ist die Leitung Teil des regionalen Verbundnetzes zwischen den Ländern DRC, Burundi, Ruanda, Tanzania, Kenia und Uganda (East AFrican Power Pool).  The "Kamanyola - Greater Bukavu" transmission line runs from the Ruzizi III regional hydropower plant (HPP) to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This 68 km long transmission line is an essential component for the transmission of the electricity produced in Ruzizi III and of enormous importance for the cost-effective and reliable supply of electricity in eastern Congo. Located on the DRC-Rwanda border, the Ruzizi III HPP and associated regional transmission lines are implemented by the three member states of the Regional Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs - CEPGL) (DRC, Burundi, Rwanda). The electricity produced in Ruzizi III (installed capacity: 147 MW) is to be equally diverted from the joint Kamanyola switching station to the three member states of the CEPGL. The aim is to provide secure access to electricity through 220 kV transmission lines to the three countries, especially to the neighbouring urban centres of these states. In addition, the line is part of the regional interconnected grid between the countries DRC, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda (East AFrican Power Pool).

Media School. The population of the EAC countries usually does not receive any serious and objective coverage of political, economic, social and ecological topics through the media. Democratic participation is hardly possible without a free and diverse media sector because only a well-informed population can demand public accountability of rulers and actively participate in social decision-making processes. ŒA professional and pluralistic media landscape is thus a central factor and catalyst for social transformation processes in East Africa. In recent years, more and more people in East Africa gained access to media services. In addition, freedom of the press and opinion has improved in most EAC member states, so that the scope for action of media creators is less restricted by state influence. However, the quality of many media is still insufficient. ŒWithin the framework of the FC project, a regional media faculty, the Graduate School of Media and Communications (GSMC), is to be set up and operated sustainably for students from the EAC countries.

Support the East African Geothermal Initiative. The countries situated along the East Africa Rift Valley have geothermal potential of more than 15,000 MW, which is equivalent to roughly three times the current capacity of Eastern Africa's power plants. However, due to considerable obstacles to investment - primarily the significant start-up risks and cost of harnessing geothermal energy - it has so far only been used to a very limited extend in Kenya and Ethiopia. Reliable information about whether a site is suitable can only be obtained through elaborate and expensive drilling processes, which are often unsuccessful. Up until now, many developers have been unwilling to take this risk. The East African states hope to overcome these obstacles by adopting a regional approach. In June 2009, the energy ministers of eleven countries along the East African Rift Valley signed the Addis Ababa Declaration on Geothermal Energy. This declaration calls on the African Union Commission to devise a strategy for regional cooperation to harness Eastern ŒAfrica's geothermal potential, develop innovative financing mechanisms and set up a regional database.The project aims to attract public and private developers for the construction of geothermal power plants which will feed a clean and reliable source of energy into power grids in Eastern Africa. ŒThe Geothermal Facility provides financial contributions for exploring geothermal sites in Eastern Africa. Governmental or parastatal organisations and private companies can apply for support from the facility. The project measures will deliver high-quality, sound information about the potential of geothermal sites in Eastern Africa, serving as a basis for private investment in new geothermal power plants. In addition, drillings at various sites in the region will improve knowledge about the resources, thereby helping to reduce site development risks when developing future geothermal energy projects in the region.

Foundation "Clean Energy and Energy Inclusion for Africa" ((CEI Africa): Crowdlending / Smart Outcomes Fund. The Foundation Clean Energy and Energy Inclusion for Africa (CEI Africa) has been incorporated by KfW on behalf of the German Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) and has been launched 2022 at COP 27 in Sharm El Sheikh. It contributes to a substainable and fair transition of the partner countries towards just energy transition (JET P). It supports access to climate-friendly off-grid electricity for private households, small enterprises and municipal institutions in rural areas of SSA. The foundation seeks to mobilise money from public donors and private impact investors - including diaspora investors - to increase impact and visibility of each contribution by promoting a purposeful and coordinated approach. To realise its mission CEI Africa has launched two innovative support windows: the Crowdlending Window and the Smart Outcomes Fund Window. With its promotional windows, CEI Africa is among the first foundations world-wide that seeks to combine lending with digital Fintechs and result-based financing to promote rural development through off-grid electrification. To mobilise private savings the foundation will co-invest with European crowdlenders that fulfil conditions of transparency, good governance and sound regulatory and compliance standards. In order to support clean energy mini-grids, CEI Africa will offer results-based and outcome-based grant funding to mobilise private capital in Africa. CEI Africa's initial endowment of EUR 49 million will already have a considerable impact: it aims at giving over 350.000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa access to clean off-grid energy by establishing about 190 mini-grids and many more small off-grid-energy solutions for productive use amounting to new clean electricity generation capacities of about 17 MW. This alone will contribute to avoiding over 55.000 tonnes CO2 per year replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.

ARC Premium Subsidisation. African countries are particularly affected by the increase of extreme weather events due to climate change. However, they usually do not have access to insurance solutions that can help them cope with extreme weather and natural disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. It is against this background that the African Risk Capacity (ARC) was founded on the initiative of the African Union (AU) in 2014. ARC provides insurance against extreme weather risks for African countries currently covering droughts and tropical cyclones. Compared to other risk pools, ARC stands out because it closely links financial disaster insurance with an early warning system and mandatory emergency response planning. ŒGerman funding support to ARC includes capital provisions to the insurance provider ARC Ltd., grant funding to provide technical assistance for institutional development and product development, funding of premium subsidies, and piloting the ARC Replica Program in cooperation with the World Food Program (WFP) and Start Network. ŒThe German ARC Premium Support Programme offers subsidies of a total amount of EUR 18 mio. to set incentives for African states and humanitarian actors in Africa to purchase an insurance with ARC. The premium subsidy is intended to establish ARC insurance premiums in national budgets in the long run and to relieve the financial burden carried by humanitarian actors. Thereby long-term cooperation between ARC and the insurance-accepting states can be achieved and the constraints for first-time insurance purchases can be reduced. ŒThe programme contributes to the BMZ core area "Responsibility for the planet - climate and energy" and to its action field "Climate Adaptation and Climate risk Management" within the Agenda 2030. It is embedded in the German G7/G20 initiative "InsuResilience Global Partnership".  African countries are particularly affected by the increase of extreme weather events due to climate change.

ŒThe German ARC Premium Support Programme offers subsidies of a total amount of EUR 18 mio. to set incentives for African states and humanitarian actors in Africa to purchase an insurance with ARC. The premium subsidy is intended to establish ARC insurance premiums in national budgets in the long run and to relieve the financial burden carried by humanitarian actors. Thereby long-term cooperation between ARC and the insurance-accepting states can be achieved and the constraints for first-time insurance purchases can be reduced. ŒThe programme contributes to the BMZ core area "Responsibility for the planet - climate and energy" and to its action field "Climate Adaptation and Climate risk Management" within the Agenda 2030. It is embedded in the German G7/G20 initiative "InsuResilience Global Partnership".

Further development of the Microfinance Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa II (MIFSSA), 11th. The aim of this Financial Cooperation is to increase the sustainable and efficient supply of required financial services for MSMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa that are in demand by the target group. This is to be achieved through a crisis intervention facility that provides risk capital for solvent (micro)/financial institutions (M/FIs) that suffer from a widespread capitalisation problem, particularly due to the Covid19 pandemic. The recapitalisation of FIs is to be carried out in the form of equity investments and mezzanine financing (e.g. subordinated loans). Three financing approaches are desired: (a) direct investments in FIs  (b) investments via MFI holdings (parent companies), which in turn recapitalise subsidiaries  and (c) investments in funds that exclusively provide equity and mezzanine financing to FIs. The financing is to be used to provide MSME loans by FIs. Thus, this Financial Cooperation contributes to supporting both the financial and the real sector in coping with the Covid19 consequences.

The Africa Conservation & Communities Tourism Fund (ACCT). Tourism activities in sub-Saharan Africa have been severely affected by the COVID pandemic. In the first year of the COVID pandemic, guest numbers dropped by 85%-95%. This has had a significant impact on the livelihoods of the population, since employees of tourism companies suffered from lower earnings and/or were involuntarily exempted from work. In addition to the impact on employment, the COVID pandemic affects conservation, with income from tourism dwindling. There are early signs of an increase in poaching, expansion of agricultural activities and logging by the local population. ŒThe objective of the project is to provide financing to conservation tourism businesses affected by the COVID pandemic so that they can maintain and create jobs in rural areas and provide funding for conservation activities in some of Africa's most biodiverse and ecologically important ecosystems. ŒThe Africa Conservation & Communitities Tourism Fund (ACCT) aims to contribute to the sustainable safeguarding of the socio-economic and ecological livelihood of the local population by securing jobs, preserving biodiversity and functional ecosystems.

ARC premium subsidization. African countries are particularly affected by the increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events due to climate change. At the same time, they usually do not have access to climate risk finance solutions that can help them cope with extreme weather and natural disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. It is against this background that the African Risk Capacity (ARC) was founded on the initiative of the African Union (AU) in 2014. Since then, ARC provides insurance against weather extremes such as droughts and tropical cyclones to African countries. Compared to other risk pools, ARC stands out because it closely links climate risk insurance with an early warning system and emergency response planning. Œ ŒThe main objective of the programme is to reduce the vulnerability of African countries to the increased weather extremes resulting from climate change by improving access to and use of needs-based insurance solutions. The indirect target group of the project are African households particularly affected by extreme weather events, as they receive faster and more effective help in the event of disaster. The Programme contributes to the BMZ core area "Responsibility for the planet - climate and energy" and to its action field "Climate Adaptation and Climate risk Management" within the Agenda 2030. It is embedded in the German G7/G20 initiative "InsuResilience Global Partnership".

Sanitation for refugees, internally displaced persons and host communities in East Africa. Violence and armed conflicts as well as severe droughts and famines mean that many people in Eastern Africa are displaced in their own country or flee to neighbouring countries. With 13 million people displaced, East Africa is one of the regions most affected by flight worldwide. Since the states have no capacity to provide for all people, many of them are cared for in large camps or settlement areas by the UN refugee agency UNHCR. The basic supply, such as drinking water.B, is not sufficient both in the camps and in the host communities. The increased pressure on limited resources can therefore also lead to distribution conflicts. ŒThe aim of the regional programme is therefore to contribute to improved, more sustainable, inclusive and integrated water and sanitation services for refugees, internally displaced persons and host communities in East Africa. With a financing volume of EUR 26 million, the construction and expansion of water supply systems and sanitation facilities at four locations in Ethiopia, Uganda, Sudan and Somalia will be supported. Extensive accompanying measures support the local water suppliers in ensuring that operation and maintenance are as cost-covering and sustainable as possible, thus ensuring the supply of both refugees and the host communities. The takeover of state operators also relieves the budgets of humanitarian organizations such as UNHCR. In addition, short-term measures to contain Covid-19 are to be implemented. Local communities should be closely involved in all measures. Œ ŒThe beneficiary and promoter of the project is the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which is implementing the measures in close cooperation with UNHCR.

Climate change as a driver of flight today - understanding causes, creating opportunities. Climate change as a driver of flight today - understanding causes, creating opportunities  Climate change is already a driver of flight and displacement. Consequences such as draughts, water shortages or degraded farm lands make people flee in West Africa, the Sahel zone and the Maghreb. Also, climate change is fueling conflicts over distribution of natural resources and violence, which again leads to flight and displacements. This is where this projects attacks by creating a sense of urgency for political solutions. If this fails, humanitarian catastrophes loom and Europe will face even more heated debates about migration.

Forest Programme II (REDD+). With about 90 million ha or 10% of the world's remaining tropical forests, Indonesia holds one of the largest areas of tropical forest of any country. At present, due to large-scale deforestation, Indonesia is an significant global emitter of CO2 emissions. ŒTo address this problem, the Ministry of Forestry (MoFor) recently initiated an Integrated Watershed Management Programme as a way to integrate land use planning and forest protection in ecological units, even if these units cut across administrative boundaries.

SFD - Strengthening Resilience through Labor Intensive Works Program V. Phase V of the "Labour Intensive Works Programme" (LIWP) is part of the Special Initiative for Stabilization and Development in the Middle East and North Africa (SI MENA), which was launched by the BMZ in 2014. Œ ŒThe project will be implemented by the FC partner "Social Fund for Development" (SFD) across Yemen using a "cash-for-work" approach to support vulnerable population groups in predominantly rural areas. The aim of the FC project is to contribute to the stabilization of Yemen in the current crisis and to improving the resilience of the target groups. By providing poverty-oriented basic infrastructure in various fields (such as latrines, rainwater collection systems, rural roads, rehabilitation of agricultural lands) the SFD makes a significant contribution to alleviating poverty and improving livelihoods of the crisis affected population. The project thus contributes to economic and social stabilization across the whole of Yemen.

Reproductive Health IX (Voucher Programme IV). The proposal Reproductive Health IX continues the German FC involvement in the sector regarding the improvement of reproductive and mother-child health in a fourth phase. The objective of the voucher program is the vast, inclusive and impartial provision of high-quality health services regarding safe childbirth and family planning in the beneficiary governorates (module objective). This contributes to the strengthening of the sexual and reproductive health and respective rights of women and girls in Yemen (program objective). Moreover, the proposal includes a contribution to the prevention of COVID-19. ŒThe method to reach said objectives is the distribution of vouchers for safe maternity, which among other things finance the transportation to health facilities, professionally supervised childbirth and the treatment of complications. At the same time, vouchers for long-term family planning are distributed and support measures for qualified health facilities are implemented. The latter receive payments to improve the quality of their services through a performance-based financing mechanism. Also, measures to protect the population and health works from COVID-19 are implemented (e.g. distribution of protective equipment). The project-executing partner is the Yemeni Yamaan Foundation in the governorates Ibb, Aden, Lahj and Al Hudaydah. For the project duration of 36 months total costs of EUR 11.02 mil. are estimated. The FC contribution sums up to EUR 11 mil. Further costs are planned to be covered by the sale of contraceptives.

SFD Water/Wastewater Programme V. Yemen suffers from water shortages and inadequate supply infrastructure in the WASH sector (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene). The precarious situation has a negative impact on the health situation and food security. The FC project continues the support of the WASH program of the Yemeni Social Fund for Development (SFD) with another module (Phase 5). Aim of the project is to provide access to improved water sources and safe sanitation facilities. Œ ŒThe project finances, among other things, cisterns on house roofs, water catch basins, latrines, hygiene campaigns and local water/sanitation systems (some of them solar-powered). Much of the interventions are implemented at community level, led by SFD and in direct collaboration with community representatives, particularly with cash-for-work approach, where households receive money to implement the interventions. Larger construction measures are implemented jointly with local water suppliers and construction companies. Households or communities are selected in a multi-stage process based initially on data on needs in the governorates and on a selection of districts by SFD. The individual sub-projects are then selected by SFD through so-called Participatory Rapid Assessments, which determine the needs at the community level and select appropriate measures. Œ ŒThrough poverty-oriented provision of basic infrastructure, SFD makes a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of impoverished population groups in large parts of Yemen.

UNICEF YEM - Enhanced water resource management in IDP communities. Due to the destruction of war, climate change and economic decline, basic services have collapsed in many regions across Yemen. At the same time, many people are no longer able to make a living due to a general shortage in income opportunities. Fueled by a continuous influx of internally displaced persons (IDP), these circumstances lead to resource-related distribution conflicts, especially in the host communities. The project offers approaches for conflict resolution by improving basic infrastructure in the water sector and by providing income-generating measures. The target group are IDP and host communities. The planned measures include: Œ Œ1) Financing of drinking water supply systems for households (e.g. solar-powered pumps, water pipes, house connections) and irrigation infrastructure for agricultural use as well as flood protection (e.g. rainwater reservoirs, irrigation ditches, dams, flood protection walls)  Œ2) Lifelihood measures to generate income (essentially "cash-for-work" and skills training for long-term integration into the labor market)  Œ3) Peace-building measures for conflict mediation (including support to community-based "Water User Associations" (WUAs), "Conflict Resolution Committees" (CRCs) and training and awareness-raising campaigns for a fair distribution and sustainable use of the scarce water resources). Œ ŒThe project is supported by a EUR 10 million grant financed through KfW from the BMZ's Special Initiative to Support Refugees and implemented by the "International Organization for Migration" (IOM).

Building resilience in the vaccine supply chain in Yemen. The project is an open program with a comprehensive approach that includes a package of measures based on needs assessments. This includes rehabilitation measures at Yemeni health logistics facilities (storage facilities), the provision of equipment and training measures. The project complements FC projects already underway with UNOPS (Übergangshilfe) (BMZ 2019.1866.3, BMZ 2020.1804.2, BMZ 2021.1808.1). The objective of the project is to support health logistics in Yemen, in particular to enable the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide. The target group of the project is the population of the catchment area of the facilities that receive COVID-19 vaccine as well as other medical products from the selected warehouses. Thus, the project addresses the specific shortages as well as key barriers to stabilizing access to COVID-19 vaccine and other medical products for the population. Œ ŒSpecifically, the activities include the rehabilitation and equipping of up to 22 warehouses, as well as training for up to 300 employees of the warehouses and women-owned businesses. The rehabilitation measures will be implemented by national construction companies selected in a public tendering process in accordance with UNOPS procurement guidelines. These are given the requirement to use unskilled labor from the local population for selected simple tasks. Equipment, supplies, and furniture are procured for the selected storage facilities to maintain basic functions and improve operational capacity. Examples of equipment include IT equipment/systems and ultra-low temperature cold chain systems (i.e., cold rooms, refrigerated containers). The project also includes training opportunities for staff at the supported storage facilities, including training on the operation of the procured equipment as well as vaccine handling and management. In addition, special training is provided for women-owned enterprises to facilitate their participation in tenders in the project.

Fisheries Sector Rehabilitation, Yemen, Phase II. The project is intended to contribute to stabilizing the economic situation and securing the food supply of the population in the project area (impact). In doing so, the project contributes to enabling people and structures to adapt to long-term changes and to cushion and minimize negative impacts (adaptive capacity). This is to be achieved by improving the utilization possibilities of the fishing port in Aden. In addition, the project contributes to strengthening social cohesion with the aim of paying special attention to the key needs of vulnerable population groups such as young people and women, and leveraging the potential of the fisheries sector to stabilize the precarious situation of various population groups. The primary objective of the project is thus to improve the nutritional situation of particularly vulnerable population groups in Yemen and to create economic prospects in the fisheries sector (outcome). ŒThe project is an open program with a comprehensive approach that includes a package of measures based on needs analyses. At the selected project site in Aden, this includes needs-oriented rehabilitation measures for the fishing port, the provision of equipment and training. In this way, the project addresses the specific bottlenecks and key obstacles to the revitalization and use of the fishing port and the associated new employment opportunities, especially for women.

SFD Water/Wastewater Programme VI. Yemen suffers from water shortages and inadequate supply infrastructure in the WASH sector (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene). The precarious situation has a negative impact on the health situation and food security. The FC project continues the support of the WASH program of the Yemeni Social Fund for Development (SFD) with another module (Phase 6). The aim of the project is to provide access to improved water sources and safe sanitation facilities. Œ ŒThe project finances, among other things, cisterns on house roofs, water catch basins, latrines, hygiene campaigns and local water/sanitation systems (some of them solar-powered). Most of the interventions are implemented at community level, led by SFD and in direct collaboration with community representatives, particularly with cash-for-work approach, where households receive money to implement the interventions. Larger construction measures are implemented jointly with local water suppliers and construction companies. Households or communities are selected in a multi-stage process based initially on data on needs in the governorates and on a selection of districts by SFD. The individual sub-projects are then selected by SFD through so-called Participatory Rapid Assessments, which determine the needs at the community level and select appropriate measures. Œ ŒThrough poverty-oriented provision of basic infrastructure, SFD makes a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of impoverished population groups in large parts of Yemen.

InfraCredit - Credit Guarantee Facility for Infrastructure in Nigeria. Despite the long-term planning periods for infrastructure investments, infrastructure companies in Nigeria mainly refinance themselves through short-term bank loans, often denominated in foreign currency, as there are hardly any long-term financing options in local currency on the Nigerian capital market. The Financial Cooperation project aims at contributing to the mobilisation of local private capital for investments in infrastructure through the cooperation with InfraCredit, the first credit guarantee facility for infrastructure finance in Nigeria. ŒInfraCredit guarantees local currency bonds of infrastructure companies, by that improving their ratings making them more attractive for the local capital market. Local pension funds in particular have a strong interest in investing in good quality local currency bonds. In order to successfully implement its business model, InfraCredit needs adequate capital resources to back the issued guarantees with equity. The granting of an equity-eligible subordinated loan enables InfraCredit to expand its guarantee portfolio and successfully introduce guarantees for infrastructure financing to the Nigerian capital market. ŒInfraCredit's loan guarantees improve the financing situation of infrastructure companies significantly and thus lead to the expansion and maintenance of infrastructure. This secures and creates jobs in the construction sector and increases the economic activity of companies in the affected areas. Similarly, living conditions by households in areas covered by the projects improve.

Development and Usage of Hydropower and Renewable Energies in North Western Frontier Province. The project "Expansion and Utilization of Hydropower and Renewable Energy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa" provides remote communities in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) with decentralized electricity using hydropower and solar energy. The aim of the project is to make a positive contribution to economic development, poverty reduction and resource conservation. To this end, the basic supply of electricity to the population is made possible and the productive use of electricity for income generation is promoted. In addition to the construction of small hydropower plants for electricity generation, solar systems for village lighting are also financed. Around 15,000 people will benefit directly from the measures in the first phase. The project executing agency is the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF). Œ ŒThe project is designed as an open program. Therefore, the total costs will depend on the amount of funds available. A grant of EUR 10 million was committed for the original project in 2009. In July 2019, the project was increased by EUR 1 million with DKTI funds. PPAF is the project execution agency and also the recipient of these funds to increase the number of benficiaries and to support operation and maintenance for a certain period at the beginning.  The basic supply of electricity to the population in remote districts in the north of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is made possible by the decentralized use of hydropower. The share of firewood and kerosene in energy production is reduced and the commercial use of electricity increases economic activity in the target region. In other districts in the south and center of the province, the availability of light is being improved through the provision of solar systems.

TFCA financing facility. The project aims at supporting sustainable use and protection of natural resources in Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) in Southern Africa. The region is home to numerous species, including many endangered species like elephants, rhinos and large cats of prey. This unique fauna and flora provides the livelihood for the resident population, which keeps growing. Along with climate change and poaching, the growth in population puts pressure on the ecosystem. The goal of this project is to combine conservation with socioeconomic development of the resident population in Transfrontier Conservation Areas - protection and sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of the people. Therefore, the project addresses three dimensions: Conservation, improved livelihoods for the resident population and improved management of TFCAs. Œ ŒIn order to achieve this goal, a flexible, demand-oriented and performance-based financing mechanism will be established, which allows for investments into thematically and geographically complementary measures. Project partner is the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Œ ŒFor the first phase of the project a financial contribution of 12 million euros is envisaged. 80 percent of these funds are earmarked for measures in the three biggest TFCAs - KAZA, Great Limpopo, Malawi-Zambia - which together represent 60 percent of the total TFCA area in the SADC-region. The project is expected to run from 2019 to 2025. Œ  The project aims at supporting sustainable use and protection of natural resources in Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) in Southern Africa.

Programm zur Förderung ländlicher Wege III (VPT 1)  Programme d&apos Appui aux Pistes Rurales (PAPR) III. Der Agrarsektor stellt in Togo einen wichtigen Grundpfeiler der Volkswirtschaft und ein zentrales Element der staatlichen Strategie zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, Armutsbekämpfung und Ernährungssicherung dar. Das sektorale Entwicklungspotenzial ist jedoch durch den desolaten Zustand der ruralen Infrastruktur, insbesondere auch des ländlichen Wegenetzes, wesentlich eingeschränkt. Die geplante FZ-Maßnahme verbessert im Rahmen des gemeinsamen EZ-Programms "Ländliche Entwicklung und Landwirtschaft" die Anbindung ländlicher Betriebe und Haushalte in den Baumwoll-, Kaffee- und Kakaoanbaugebieten an Betriebsmittel- und Absatz-märkte und steigert dadurch ihre wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit. Der Zugang der Haushalte zu Gesundheits- und Bildungsangeboten erhöht sich ebenfalls, wovon besonders Frauen profitieren. Hierzu sollen laut aktualisierter Planung ca. 600 km ländliche Wege bzw. Pisten und damit assoziierte Bauwerke in den Anbaugebieten saniert und ihr nachhaltiger Betrieb unterstützt werden. Geeignete Bauleistungen ebenso wie die manuellen Wartungsarbeiten werden soweit als möglich arbeitsintensiv unter Beteiligung der lokalen Landbevölkerung durchgeführt. Œ Œ  Au Togo, le secteur agricole est un pilier important de l'économie nationale et un élément central de la stratégie de l'État pour le développement économique, la réduction de la pauvreté et la sécurité alimentaire. Toutefois, le potentiel de développement sectoriel est considérablement limité par l'état de délabrement des infrastructures rurales, en particulier du réseau routier rural. La mesure prévue dans le cadre du programme commun de coopération au développement "Développement rural et agriculture" améliore la connexion des entreprises et des ménages ruraux des zones de culture du coton, du café et du cacao avec les marchés d'approvisionnement et de vente, ce qui permet d'améliorer leurs performances économiques. L'accès des ménages aux services de santé et d'éducation est également amélioré, dont profitent en particulier les femmes. Selon la planification actualisée, environ 600 km de routes et de pistes rurales et les bâtiments associés dans les zones de production doivent être réhabilités et leur fonctionnement durable soutenu. Des travaux de construction appropriés ainsi que des travaux d'entretien manuels seront effectués, dans la mesure du possible, à forte intensité de main-d' uvre avec la participation de la population rurale locale.

Förderung der Dezentralisierung III (VP)  Programme d&apos Appui à la Décentralisation PAD III (VP). Das Vorhaben dient - als Folge der Ende Juni 2019 durchgeführten Kommunalwahlen in Togo - dazu, Rathäuser in neu geschaffenen (ländlichen) Gemeinden zu finanzieren. Diese verfügen bislang nicht über die notwendige administrative Infrastruktur, um die ihnen übertragenen Aufgaben wahrzunehmen. Das Vorhaben leistet damit einen wichtigen und sichtbaren Beitrag für eine erfolgreiche Dezentralisierung in Togo, mit denen die Bevölkerung hohe Erwartungen hinsichtlich eines besseren Zugangs zu öffentlichen Dienstleistungen und einer verstärkten politische Teilhabe verbindet. Œ ŒDie Zielsetzung ist es, kommunale Dienstleistungen in den neuen Rathäusern von kompetentem Personal anzubieten und die Infrastruktur den gewählten Gemeinderäten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten belaufen sich auf EUR 9,2 Mio., davon sind EUR 1,2 Mio. Eigenbeitrag der togoischen Regierung.

Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung III  Formation Professionelle et emploi jeunes III. Togo gehört mit Platz 165 unter 189 Ländern beim Human Development Index (HDI) zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt (Stand 2017) und weist ein relativ hohes Bevölkerungswachstum von 2,5% auf. Das Pro-Kopf-Einkommen beträgt 679,3 USD (Stand 2018) und 55,1% der Bevölkerung leben unterhalb der nationalen Armutsgrenze. Rund 84-90% der Togoer sind im informellen Sektor tätig. Beschäftigung im formellen Sektor ist fast ausschließlich auf den öffentlichen Bereich beschränkt. Die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit bzw. -unterbeschäftigung liegen nach Schätzungen bei rund 33%, wobei gleichzeitig aufgrund der fehlenden Kapazität und Qualität in der formalen und non-formalen Berufsbildung und in den Ansätzen der Beschäftigungsförderung die Aussichten junger Frauen und Männer auf formelle und informelle Beschäftigung unzureichend (Kernproblem) sind. Œ ŒDurch das FZ-Vorhaben "Berufliche Bildung und Jugendbeschäftigung in Togo" wird der togolesische Berufsbildungssektor gefördert. Es orientiert sich an den relevanten politischen Vorgaben des Sektorentwicklungsplans Bildung der togolesischen Regierung als auch an den Sektorstrategien des BMZ. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, den Zugang und die Qualität der beruflichen Aus- und Weiterbildung in ausgewählten Wachstumsregionen Togos zu verbessern. Der Fokus soll dabei auf Berufsbildungsbereichen im landwirtschaftlichen Sektor, sowie auf den mit der Landwirtschaft im weiteren Sinne verbundenen Berufen liegen. Damit soll ein Beitrag geleistet werden zur Verbesserung der Ausbildungs-, Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensmöglichkeiten besonders von Jugendlichen in ausgewählten Wachstumsregionen Togos (EZ-Programmziel). Œ ŒZur Erreichung der genannten Ziele werden im Rahmen der ersten Phase des Vorhabens drei Komponenten finanziert: Erstens werden antragsbasiert gemeinsam mit dem Träger vorab ausgewählte öffentliche und private Ausbildungseinrichtungen rehabilitiert, erweitert und ausgestattet (Infrastruktur- und Hauptkomponente)  zweitens werden begleitend ergänzende Investivmaßnahmen (Aus- und Weiterbildung an den angeschafften Maschinen, Stärkung von Managementkapazitäten, Weiterentwicklung von Ausbildungsprogrammen etc.) finanziert und drittens ein Internationaler Durchführungsconsultant unter Vertrag genommen.

Rehabilitierung und Ausbau des Verteilnetzes Togo  Réhabilitation et renforcement du réseau de distribution á Togo. Das Vorhaben umfasst die Rehabilitierung und Erweiterung des Stromverteilnetzes im Großraum Lomé, die Installation eines Netzkontrollzentrums, sowie den Aufbau von Kapazitäten der CEET und soll damit einen Beitrag zur Sicherung und Stabilisierung der Stromversorgung im Großraum Lomé leisten. Dadurch werden Effizienz- und Stabilitätssteigerungen im Netzbereich erreicht und Treibhausgasemissionen reduziert. Œ ŒMit den Maßnahmen können über den zuverlässigen Zugang zu elektrischer Energie insgesamt 300 000 Menschen erreicht werden. Eine zuverlässige Stromversorgung ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für eine wettbewerbsfähige industrielle und gewerbliche Entwicklung, die Arbeitsplätze und Einkommen schafft und somit auch einen essentiellen Beitrag zur Reduzierung der Armut leisten kann. Zielgruppe dieses Vorhabens sind die bereits an das Netz angeschlossenen und zukünftigen Stromverbraucher im Großraum Lomé.

The HIV/AIDS epidemic causes great human suffering in the countries of Central Africa and represents a major obstacle to development due to the high direct and indirect economic costs. The aim of the project is to strengthen prevention work in the countries of Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo and Gabon as part of a regional project. The focus of the measures is on the target group of young people (15-24 years). Within the framework of a so-called "social marketing" approach, measures are implemented to improve the target group's knowledge about HIV/AIDS and to lead to a responsible approach to the risks of HIV infection. In addition to HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies are also addressed. In order to enable poor population groups to use high-quality condoms, their sale in retail stores is subsidized by the project. The income from the sale of condoms is reinvested in the project. The total cost of the project is EUR 23 million, of which EUR 20.0 million will be financed from the financial cooperation contribution and EUR 3.0 million from revenues from condom sales. The duration of the project is 3 years.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) cause great human suffering in Central Africa. The effects of 20 of the World Health Organization defined NTD range from reduced performance to lifelong disabilities and even death. High economic costs are associated. Due to the widespread poverty among the affected people, relatively little attention is paid to research and development for new treatments. Central African scientists who could deal with these issues and support their home countries in their efforts to fight NTD are often not sufficiently linked to the international and African research community. Although treatment options exist, they are not widely used due to the lack of funding or knowledge about the emergence of these diseases. The project supports the health ministries of the countries of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) in a subsidiary way with EUR 10,1 Million for the first phase and EUR 5,0 Million for the second phase in the implementation of their programs for the treatment and control of NTD. At the same time, young and local researchers dealing with these subjects are promoted and connected to other researchers in Africa and worldwide.

TFCA financing facility II. The project aims at supporting sustainable use and protection of natural resources in Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) in Southern Africa. The region is home to numerous species, including many endangered species like elephants, rhinos and large cats of prey. This unique fauna and flora provides the livelihood for the resident population, which keeps growing. Along with climate change and poaching, the growth in population puts pressure on the ecosystem. The goal of this project is to combine conservation with socioeconomic development of the resident population in Transfrontier Conservation Areas - protection and sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of the people. Therefore, the project addresses three dimensions: Conservation, improved livelihoods for the resident population and improved management of TFCAs. Œ ŒIn order to achieve this goal, for the first time a flexible, demand-oriented and performance-based financing mechanism will be established, which allows for investments into thematically and geographically complementary measures. Project partner is the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Œ ŒFor the first phase of the project, after the commitment of EUR 12 million in 2016 another financial contribution of EUR 11 million is envisaged. 80 % of these funds are earmarked for measures in the three biggest TFCAs - KAZA, Great Limpopo, Malawi-Zambia - which together represent 60 % of the total TFCA area in the SADC-region. The project is expected to run from 2020 to 2025.  The project aims at supporting sustainable use and protection of natural resources in Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) in Southern Africa.

Partnership to Develop Local Bond Markets VII. The mission of the ALCB Fund is to promote corporate local currency bond markets as a viable source of funding in Africa. The primary activity of the Fund is to make investments in local currency bonds issued by non-sovereign entities in African countries. In this respect, the Fund acts as an anchor investor and aims at mobilizing local investors to invest alongside the Fund. ŒThe Fund's ultimate beneficiaries are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private lower income households, who will benefit from the issuer's improved or expanded capability to provide financial services for, or direct investments in, housing, education, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy and energy efficiency. ŒThe key developmental challenge for African bond markets is to increase deal-flow and capital market experience of issuers, investors and intermediaries. The ALCB Fund offers several interventions. To help bring new deals to market, the ALCB Fund acts as an anchor investor in first-time or innovative bond issuances by local entities. The Fund also provides technical assistance to support bond issuances, which may include reviewing bond documentation to improve documentation standards  supporting public listings to support market transparency  and encouraging credit rating to enhance the credit appraisal standards of the market. ŒThe supported bond issuers are typically financial institutions, corporates in the real economy or "special purpose vehicles" for structured finance transactions.

eco.Business Fund - Africa Window (EBFA), accompanying measure. Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity, for example deforestation and forest degradation are major problems. The principal drivers of degradation of nature and cultivated landscapes include land-use changes, water pollution, and unsustainable forms of agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Without adequate conservation of natural resources, the sustainability of other successful approaches to combating climate change, poverty and hunger will be jeopardised. This is particularly serious in Africa: the population and its demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Therefore, the restructuring of the economic system towards more sustainability is crucial. The financial sector has an important supporting role to play here: sufficient capital must be made available and channelled in such a way that an ecological transformation of central sectors becomes possible. ŒIn order to achieve these objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible, German development cooperation should provide incentives for private actors to invest more in projects that promote a more sustainable economic system in Africa. The concept of the eco.business Fund aims precisely at implementing these activities. The fund started its business exclusively in Latin America. However, in order to be able to address the above-mentioned challenges in an appropriate way, the eco.business Fund is being expanded to sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of natural resources, the mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its impacts through economic action. The fund was established in 2014 by KfW, the non-governmental organisation Conservation International (CI) and Finance in Motion (FiM) as a public-private partnership instrument with four different risk classes in the form of a fund based in Luxemburg. Through direct investments and the granting of loans via partner financial institutions, the fund supports companies that replace conventional production processes with sustainable methods. There is a focus on the sectors of agriculture and rural processing, fishing and aquaculture, forestry and tourism. ŒIn addition to the funds from the four capital tranches, the eco.business Fund Africa has a legally independent and separately managed development facility. This is a trust account managed separately from the sub-fund, which is administered according to its own rules and managed by the fund advisor. The Development Facility funds are used to finance investment complementary support measures for cooperation partners and final borrowers but also technical assistance for sector development. The grants can support individual projects, e.g. for the selective preparation of investment projects and support for the establishment of Environmental and Social Management Systems. Furthermore, the Development Facility can also be used for market and sector-specific analyses.  Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources.

Quality Infrastructure for renewable energies and energy efficiency in Mexico. The development cooperation program "Sustainable Energy in Mexico" supports the effective implementation of national policies in the field of sustainable energy and the 2030 Agenda, which require the development of renewable energies on a large scale.  
Quality assurance services are an important prerequisite for achieving the energy policy goals and the development cooperation program because they are indispensable for building confidence in the new technologies and ensuring their safety, efficiency and reliability. Safety and quality criteria must not only be demanded in tenders and funding programs, but also reliably verified. This applies not only to individual components (solar modules), but also to the more complex interrelationships in component groups, construction, installation and maintenance. This situation is massively improved by building up professional competence and reliable quality assurance. Proof of the energy savings actually achieved and the further energy savings potential for political planning is based on reliable and internationally recognized measurements. New challenges to the reliability and stability of public power grids due to increasing feed-in of renewable energies can be met by improved measurement and control technology.  The quality infrastructure institutions support the Mexican energy transition and transfer technical competencies through triangular cooperation.

Project Preparation and and Development Facility (PPDF) III. The Project Preparation and Development Facility (PPDF) of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) supports the preparation of feasibility studies and other preparatory studies for regionally significant infrastructure projects in southern Africa. Œ ŒThe SADC region has a significant need for economic and social infrastructure in the energy, water, transportation, telecommunications and tourism sectors, among others. However, there is a lack of financial and technical resources to prepare regional, especially cross-border projects. The PPDF is intended to address this core problem by providing funds and expertise for the preparation of infrastructure projects, taking into account international environmental and social standards. Œ ŒIn three financial phases, a total of over 20 million euros has been and will be committed for project preparation studies and a pipeline of projects will be established and further developed. Public and private organizations can act as sponsors for project proposals. Œ ŒThe measure thus supports the SADC in the implementation of its Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan and in the development of priority regional infrastructure projects. To this end, the PPDF not only finances the preparation of projects listed in the RIDMP, but also projects of a regional nature that are not yet included in it. The project will further strengthen the SADC in the implementation of its regional integration and management function. Œ ŒSADC is the recipient of the funds and is responsible for the political management of the PPDF via the SADC Secretariat. Operationally, the PPDF is implemented via the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) as the project executing agency.

Programm zur Umsetzung der nationalen Klimaschutzziele im mexikanischen Transportsektor  Programa para Mitigación del Cambio Climático (NDC) en el Sector Transporte. Das Vorhaben sieht einen FZ-Entwicklungskredit i.H.v. bis zu 100 Mio. EUR an die mexikanische Entwicklungsbank NAFIN vor, die über Finanzintermediäre sowie ggf. direkt Kredite an KKMU für die Finanzierung von emissionsarmen Fahrzeugen auslegt. Das FZ-Darlehen wird durch einen Investitionszuschuss i.H.v. 10 Mio. EUR sowie eine Begleitmaßnahme (BM) i.H.v. 2 Mio. EUR flankiert. Ziel des FZ-Moduls ist es, einen Beitrag zur Verminderung von Treibhausgasemissionen im Transportsektor in Mexiko zu leisten und die mexikanische Regierung somit bei der Erfüllung der eingegangenen Klimaverpflichtungen (NDC) zu unterstützen. ŒUm die angestrebten Emissionseinsparungen tatsächlich zu erzielen, wird für jedes Neufahrzeug ein Altfahrzeug verschrottet. Da es für die Verschrottung von Fahrzeugen in Mexiko bis dato kaum regulatorische oder finanzielle Anreize gibt, werden den Kreditnehmern Verschrottungsprämien angeboten, die durch den Investitionszuschuss und Eigenbeiträge der teilnehmenden mexikanischen Bundesstaaten finanziert werden. Über die BM sollen zudem die lokalen Verschrottungskapazitäten gestärkt werden. Des Weiteren werden durch die BM die Gestaltung und Umsetzung staatlicher Politiken auf Ebene der Bundesstaaten, die zur Modulzielerreichung bei-tragen, ebenso wie der politische Dialog zwischen bundes- und nationalstaatlichen Institutionen unterstützt. Zudem erhält NAFIN als Programmträger beratende Unterstützung, um das komplexe Vorhaben umsetzen zu können. ŒDie unmittelbare Zielgruppe des FZ-Vorhabens sind KKMU im städtischen Transportsektor in den Bundesstaaten Mexiko-Stadt, Jalisco und Oaxaca. Mittelbare Zielgruppe ist die Bevölkerung in den Städten bzw. urbanen Gebieten, in denen das Vorhaben umgesetzt wird.  El proyecto proporciona un préstamo de desarrollo de hasta 100 millones de euros al banco de desarrollo mexicano NAFIN, que a su vez concede préstamos a las MIPYMES a través de intermediarios financieros y, en algunos casos, directamente para la financiación de vehículos de bajas emisiones. El préstamo de la CF va acompañado de una subvención a la inversión de 10 millones de euros y una medida complementaria (MC) de 2 millones de euros. El objetivo del módulo de la CF es contribuir a la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en el sector del transporte en México y así apoyar al gobierno mexicano en el cumplimiento de los compromisos climáticos que ha asumido (NDC). ŒPara lograr realmente la reducción de emisiones prevista, se chatarriza un vehículo al final de su vida útil por cada vehículo nuevo. Dado que hasta la fecha apenas existen incentivos normativos o financieros para el desguace de vehículos en México, se ofrecen a los prestatarios bonos de chatarrización que se financian con la subvención de la inversión y las aportaciones propias de las entidades federativas participantes. La MC también pretende reforzar las capacidades locales de chatarrización. Además, la MC apoyará el diseño y la aplicación de políticas públicas a nivel estatal que contribuyan a la consecución de los objetivos del módulo, así como el diálogo político entre las instituciones federales y nacionales. Además, la NAFIN, como organismo ejecutor del programa, recibe apoyo de asesoramiento para poder ejecutar el complejo proyecto. ŒEl grupo meta directo del proyecto son las MIPYMES del sector del transporte urbano en los estados de Ciudad de México, Jalisco y Oaxaca. El grupo meta indirecto es la población de las ciudades o zonas urbanas donde se ejecuta el proyecto.

4E-Initiative SSA (Folgephase). The aim of the project is to develop, finance and operate renewable energy (RE) projects and to mobilize private investments in these RE projects in order to meet the increasing energy demand in Africa and to avoid greenhouse gas emissions. ŒThe immediate target group are project companies and companies that are active in the field of regenerative energy generation. Œ ŒThe specially founded company responsAbility Renewable Energy Holding (rAREH) - now renamed "Serengeti Energy", a public-private partnership, will work on site using project development teams and use the funds on a revolving basis and a medium-term target volume of at least USD 100 million reach. rAREH should identify small and medium-sized renewable energy project approaches and promote their development at least up to electricity generation. Through the holistic approach of providing start-up financing and project development know-how along the entire project cycle, especially during the cost-intensive initial phase, rAREH assumes early project risks and thus helps the private sector to become an investor. The funds released through the sale of project shares are reinvested in the development and expansion of new renewable energy projects. Co-investors are Norfund and NDF. Œ ŒFor the purpose of efficient implementation, this initiative is to be designed as a follow-up phase to the already existing 4E initiative SSA - with the project developer and financier (rAREH) founded in this context. This is intended to accelerate the establishment of a renewable energy project pipeline as well as the development and construction of renewable energy projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Since it was founded, the 4E initiative SSA has continuously developed into a fully integrated (end-to-end) project developer and financier due to a lack of "investable" projects in SSA. The additional funds will enable the company to examine and develop further projects in addition to those that have already progressed. In this way, several projects are ready for the market in parallel and the company can build a balanced portfolio of projects in different development and operating phases. By promoting environmentally friendly energy generation, the project is intended to help close the energy gap in Africa. Reliable access to sustainable energy improves the living conditions of private households and increases the economic activity and competitiveness of existing companies. This makes a contribution to reducing emissions, conserving resources and thereby protecting the climate and the environment.

The Currency Exchange Fund (TCX). The Currency Exchange Fund N.V. ("TCX"), Netherlands, is a currency hedging provider operating since 2008 and financed by German Financial Cooperation together with several other development banks, e.g. FMO and also IFC, EIB and EBRD. ŒThe overall developmental objective of the measure is to improve borrowers' access to local currency loans and to contribute to the development of local currency and capital markets. ŒBorrowers in emerging markets with local currency assets often have to choose between two equally risky and unattractive alternatives for long-term financing: Either they finance long-term local-currency assets with short-term local-currency liabilities, which thus pose a risk due to timing mismatches. Or they finance these assets with long-term, hard currency liabilities from international investors, and thus have the risk of currency mismatch. Both alternatives imply a risk that, in the worst case, leads to a potential threat to continuity and growth, as well as to the inefficient use of capital. To help microfinance institutions, banks, and public infrastructure in developing countries that are locally financed reduce these undesirable market risks, TCX offers local currency hedging products in countries respectively currencies that are on the list of the Official Development Assistance recipients of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD"  or its Development Assistance Committee ("DAC"). TCX thus facilitates developmentally desirable financing and its underlying business models. ŒIn addition, TCX is involved in financing studies and projects with the same objective through a dedicated Technical Assistance Fund ("JoDEA"). Œ  The Currency Exchange Fund N.V.

Babban Gona. The project is an equity investment in Babban Gona (BG). BG is a Nigerian social enterprise that was founded in 2012. BG's main objective is to support smallholder farmers through a combination of the provision and pre-financing of seeds and fertilisers, agronomic training and post-harvest support by storing the products and selling them at a later date and thus at higher prices. After a planned project duration of five years, the equity participation is to be transferred to the Babban Gona Members' Trust (BGMT) and to the Babban Gona Employee Share Trust (BGEST). In this way, the funds directly benefit the small farmers in the medium term. They can thus participate in the company's success. BG currently operates in northern Nigeria. The SEWOH funds are intended to enable the planned expansion and scaling of business activities in the SEWOH countries Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana. ŒThe objective of the project is to generate additional income for smallholder farmers, additional jobs for women and an improvement in food security in SEWOH countries by expanding BG's business activities. BG's target group are smallholder farmers with an estimated average land area of about 2 hectares (ha), of which, however, only about one third is cultivated with BG products. Thus, BG reaches a part of the population that has so far largely had no access to formal financing offers for agricultural products. ŒOver a period of five years, a total of up to EUR 13.0 million in grant funds will be made available from SEWOH by the end of 2023.

Eco.Business Fund - Africa Window. Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources. This wealth is increasingly threatened by human activity, for example deforestation and forest degradation are major problems. The principal drivers of degradation of nature and cultivated landscapes include land-use changes, water pollution, and unsustainable forms of agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Without adequate conservation of natural resources, the sustainability of other successful approaches to combating climate change, poverty and hunger will be jeopardised. This is particularly serious in Africa: the population and its demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Therefore, the restructuring of the economic system towards more sustainability is crucial. The financial sector has an important supporting role to play here: sufficient capital must be made available and channelled in such a way that an ecological transformation of central sectors becomes possible. ŒIn order to achieve these objectives as quickly and efficiently as possible, German development cooperation should provide incentives for private actors to invest more in projects that promote a more sustainable economic system in Africa. The concept of the eco.business Fund aims precisely at implementing these activities. The fund started its business exclusively in Latin America. However, in order to be able to address the above-mentioned challenges in an appropriate way, the eco.business Fund is being expanded to sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of natural resources, the mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its impacts through economic action. The fund was established in 2014 by KfW, the non-governmental organisation Conservation International (CI) and Finance in Motion (FiM) as a public-private partnership instrument with four different risk classes in the form of a fund based in Luxemburg. Through direct investments and the granting of loans via partner financial institutions, the fund supports companies that replace conventional production processes with sustainable methods. There is a focus on the sectors of agriculture and rural processing, fishing and aquaculture, forestry and tourism. Œ  Africa is characterised by a great wealth of biodiversity and natural resources.

TAHIL Stabilization and Development Facility V (Lebanon Housing V) (VPT 1). In 2021, 82% of the population was already experiencing multidimensional poverty and thus lacking in at least one of the areas such as education, health, public services and income, among others. The group of refugees in Lebanon are particularly affected. Accordingly, about 88% of Syrian refugees were living in extreme poverty in 2021, meaning that nearly nine out of 10 Syrian households in Lebanon could not afford essential goods and services that ensure a minimum standard of living. Œ ŒThe project therefore aims to strengthen the capacity of the local population to host Syrian refugees and provide adequate housing based on transparent and secure tenancy arrangements for refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. This should lead to improved living conditions and peaceful coexistence between refugees from Syria and the Lebanese population. Œ ŒKey activities are: Œ- The rehabilitation of around 1,800 apartments for around 9,000 beneficiaries plus the financing of rental costs (Cash for Rent, CfR) for around 8,000 beneficiaries. Œ- Improved housing-related public infrastructure for about 20,000 residents. Œ- Improved crisis management (Disaster Risk Management) performance of eight selected municipalities. Œ- Consulting services for about 70,000 beneficiaries. Œ ŒThe project contributes to SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions) by improving infrastructure in refugee host communities.

This is intended to contribute to stabilizing the living conditions of Syrian refugee children and adolescents as well as needy Lebanese children, thereby also reducing their vulnerability. It also reduces the potential for local conflict between refugees and host communities.

Strengthening Quality Infrastructure for renewable energies and energy efficiency in Bolivia. As a result of economic growth and social development, Bolivia is facing an increasing demand for energy. Bolivia's electricity generation is mainly based on fossil fuels with corresponding negative effects on the environment. At the same time, energy intensity (consumption per unit of GNP) is high, almost three times that of Brazil or Chile. The reasons for the highest energy intensity of all Latin American countries, apart from Venezuela, are the availability of domestic energy sources with costs below the usual market prices and the widespread use of inefficient appliances. For the implementation of the goals, it is indispensable that the framework conditions and technical infrastructures are developed in such a way that confidence in energy efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies is created. However, the required competencies and experience are lacking among the institutions involved in the qualification infrastructure in this sector. At the macro level, the causes lie in a lack of awareness among political decision-makers of the need for a functioning quality infrastructure. The module strengthens the institutions of the quality infrastructure in the development of the necessary technical competence, so that they are enabled to technically support the energy transition and transformation of the energy sector.  A strengthened Quality Infrastructure that meets the need for new services contributes to the implementation of the Energy Policy.

Promotion of the Quality Infrastructure to support the measurement of consumption and quality of drinking water and waste water II. In the Bolivian constitution, access to water is enshrined as a human right, so that water supply is a high political priority. The work of quality infrastructure institutions creates important conditions for guaranteeing the right to water of adequate quality and quantity. Competent quality infrastructure services can contribute to a sustainable and non-discriminatory water policy by providing decision-makers with necessary and reliable information. However, the technical, personal and institutional capacities of all the institutions of the quality infrastructure are still insufficient to ensure the necessary tasks in the field of wastewater, water monitoring, the detection of pollutants in agricultural products through irrigation with treated wastewater, consumption measurements and adequate drinking water quality in peri-urban areas (core problem). The module objective is derived from this: The reliability of quality analyses in the areas of drinking water and wastewater, measurements of drinking water consumption and water monitoring are improved by strengthening the institutions of the quality infrastructure in Bolivia.  The reliability of quality analyses in the areas of drinking water and wastewater, measurements of drinking water consumption and water monitoring have been improved by strengthening the quality infrastructure institutions in Bolivia.

Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

The EU Trust Fund &quot Bêkou&quot  is financed by the EU and its member countries, as well as other investors if necessary, and aims to support the government of the Central African Republic in ending the political-military crisis and to achieve an improvement in the economic situation of the population. The fund is thus a so-called LRRD programme (&quot linking relief, rehabilitation and development&quot ), which is to be seen as a link between humanitarian emergency aid and classic development aid. Within the framework of a multi-sectoral approach, the fund invests in measures that contribute to the resumption of community functions and the supply of the population with basic services and goods. Particular attention is paid here to restoring peaceful coexistence among the various ethnic and religious population groups, the refugee-related living conditions of many people and the special situation and role of women in the crisis context. The Federal Government is a founding investor in the fund together with France, the Netherlands and the EU. The founding document (founding act) was signed by the Federal Government (BM Gerd Müller) in Florence on 15 July 2014.

Réhabilitation du système de santé. The Central African Republic, with its population of just under 5 million, is one of the poorest countries in the world. The landlocked country has suffered for decades from numerous violent conflicts and weak and inefficient governments. Many people are internally displaced or have fled to neighboring countries. Basic government services are scarce in such a fragile environment. This project aims to address the particularly vulnerable health sector: On the one hand, the rehabilitation of health stations in rural areas (including equipment, water and electricity supply) is planned, and on the other hand, training facilities for health personnel in the capital Bangui are to be established and expanded. In both activities, the international and national Red Cross/Red Crescent organizations will be entrusted by the CAR government with the implementation of the measures. The project aims to reduce the country's most serious health problems, such as high maternal and child mortality. A financial cooperation contribution of EUR 11 million is available for this purpose.

MEF 2014 - THB Bolivien - Transnational MFI lending facility (Phase III). Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

Bewässerungsprogramm Wasser und Klimawandel II  Programa &quot Agua y Cambio Climático&quot  II. Es handelt sich um die 2. Phase des Bewässerungsprogramms "Wasser und Klimawandel" (200765610). Das Vorhaben dient der Verringerung der Vulnerabilität kleinbäuerlicher Betriebe gegenüber den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. Insbesondere wird erwartet, dass die Niederschläge unregelmäßiger werden  dies bedeutet Verschiebungen beim Beginn der Regenzeit, längere und unerwartete Trockenperioden und vermehrte Starkregenereignisse. Um dem entgegen zu wirken werden Bewässerungsinfrastrukturen im Departement Cochabamba in enger Zusammenarbeit mit bestehenden Bewässerungsverbänden verbessert. Die Maßnahmen umfassen den Bau oder die Instandsetzung von Staudämmen, die Anlage von offenen Überleitungskanälen und Druckleitungen sowie die Einführung effizienter Bewässerungsmethoden. Die Wassernutzer werden für die spätere Übernahme der Betriebs- und Unterhaltungsverantwortung geschult und im ersten Jahr nach Fertigstellung der Bauwerke bei der Wahrnehmung dieser Aufgaben begleitet.  La finalidad del programa es disminuir la vulnerabilidad de pequeños productores agropecuarios frente a los efectos del cambio climático. Estos efectos incluyen, entre otros, periodos de sequía más irregulares y más largas. Para enfrentar este desafío se financian inversiones en la mejora de sistemas tradicionales de riego. Las medidas incluyen la construcción o rehabilitación de presas, de canales y sistemas presurizados así como la introducción de tecnologías eficientes de riego en la parcela. Los comités y asociaciones de riego son capacitados y acompañados durante el primer año de funcionamiento para garantizar la gestión sostenible de los sistemas de riego.  Anpassungsfähigkeit der Zielgruppen in den Provinzen Tiraque und ggf. Punata im Hinblick auf zunehmenden Wasserstress in der Landwirtschaft verbessert.

Energy Efficiency in the grid-based Power Supply. The project complements the already ongoing FC project "Improvement of Power Transmission in the West Zone" (BMZ-No. 2012 66 436). It aims at supporting a reliable and efficient energy supply in Bangladesh and will therefore contribute to economic development, an improvement of living conditions as well as a climate and environmental friendly energy sector in Bangladesh. By extending the capacities of the transmission grid, the reliability shall be strengthened also in the light of growing demand. Technical losses and voltage fluctuations will be reduced and the availability of the transmission grid will be enhanced. The reduction of technical losses is directly connected to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from thermal power plants. Œ ŒPower Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) is acting as Project Executing Agency for the FC project. Œ ŒThe project enlarges the German FC support in the transmission sector in Bangladesh. It comprises the new construction and the enhancement of different transmission lines (230 and 132 kV) as well as of a number of sub-stations (230/132 kV and 132/33 kV) in the high voltage transmission grid of PGCB. The proposed measures form part of the National Grid Enlargement Plan and have been prioritized in the feasibility study by the Consultant Gopa Intec in cooperation with the Project Executing Agency PGCB. An accompanying measure to strengthen PGCB in its institutional capacity forms additional part of the German FC support. Œ ŒThe target group comprises the consumers connected by the national grid. These include private sector enterprises, private households and public institutions, all benefitting from higher grid stability and enhanced reliability of energy supply. Œ ŒThe total project costs comprise EUR 187.9 million. The costs will be financed by a German FC Development Loan of EUR 137.5 million  EUR 48.4 will be contributed by the Bangladesh side.

Geo-Information for Urban Planning and Adaptation to Climate Change. Strong urbanisation and climate change impacts pose major challenges to Bangladesh's cities, which are under high land-use pressure. The capacity of the government partner, the Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB), which is responsible for geodata, is being improved so that geoinformation ( subsoil stability, seismic hazard, flooding and land subsidence) can be provided to and taken into account by the urban planning authorities for urban land use planning. Specialised personnel in the GSB are trained in various methods and procedures for the collection, processing and visualisation of geoinformation. The proper use of geoinformation strengthens urban areas in five partnering urban areas with regard to the coming hazards.

Climate change adapted Drinking Water Resources Management Dhaka - Saidabad Water Treatment Plant Project Phase III. The goal of the project is to increase the resilience of Dhaka against rising sea levels, flooding and climate-related ground water salination. The project contributes significantly to transforming the water supply of Dhaka from ground to surface water. The capital city of Bangladesh lies four meters above the sea level, but sinks each year by 14 mm. This is a result of the excessive extraction of ground water resources, from which the megacity takes its drinking water (roughly 78%). The city becomes more vulnerable against rising sea levels, which in case of an average global warming of 4°C could endanger the lives of 12 million people. The project finances: a new raw water intake with pumping stations at the Meghna river, a new water treatment plant, 26km transmission pipes that supply new and existing Treatment plants of the public water provider DWASA, and the extension of the distribution network. The project secures the drinking water supply of 4.5 million people (almost a third of the capital's population), among them 200,000 slum inhabitants. The effects of the project reduce the depletion of acquifers and the associated land sinking. Œ ŒAt the time of the appraisal, the total cost of this ground-breaking large-scale investment runs at roughly 568.7 million EUR. A European consortium of AFD (115 million EUR), DANIDA (185 million EUR), EIB (40 million EUR) and German FC (90 million EUR) supports the Bangladesh government (contribution of 138.7 million EUR) in financing this Project.

Climate-Adapted Urban Development Program in Bangladesh, Phase III. The FC module aims to improve the living conditions of the population affected by climate change and flooding in small and medium-sized towns in Bangladesh. To this end, investments in climate-adapted urban infrastructure projects will be implemented through the project executing agency Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) in initially three cities. The individual investments will be selected, among other things, according to climate vulnerability criteria, taking into account special needs, particularly of the urban poor. A particular focus of the individual projects implemented in cooperation with the relevant city administrations is on flood protection measures. This includes drainage channels, dike roads and so-called blue-green infrastructure, which, through a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural areas such as ponds, park areas and watercourses, not only serve to increase resilience to flooding events, but also contribute to improving the quality of life in public spaces in the project cities. Thus, the project contributes to strengthening urban resilience to the impacts of climate change. Œ ŒThe estimated financing requirement for three cities is around EUR 47.7 million. The FC financing contribution amounts to EUR 31 million. A further grant of EUR 2.5 million will be used to strengthen the capacity of the participating project cities and the project executing agency in various aspects of planning, implementation and sustainable operation of individual investments in infrastructures specifically oriented towards strengthening climate resilience.

Geo-information for the implementation of a climate change-resilient urbanization. In Bangladesh, information on the geological subsurface is rarely taken into account in urban and development planning. Industrial settlements and building land have been and are being designated in unsuitable areas due to a lack of geo-information. Earthquakes, flooding, soil liquefaction or subsidence, for example, cause damage to infrastructure and pose risks to the population, which will occur more frequently due to climatic changes. Ongoing migration further increases the pressure on urban areas and intensifies the demand for settlement areas, which are already growing uncontrollably in width and height due to high population growth. By taking geodata into account in the development planning of urban areas, areas at risk can be identified and, with appropriate land use planning, contribute to preventive disaster management. The project promotes the capacities of specialised staff of the Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB) to analyse and interpret existing geodata in a professional manner and to systematically record data to be collected. The goal is to establish workflows for quality assurance of geoinformation and expand the still limited inter-institutional exchange for the use of quality-assured data. In particular, staff in urban/spatial planning authorities in the German TC partner cities and at universities should benefit from these procedures in order to take into account information on the building ground suitability in urban planning processes.  Actors in urban and development planning integrate quality assured geo-information into urban development plans to increase resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Climate Insurance Fund III (Caucasus Window) (Trust Funds). Developing countries (DC) are particularly affected by the increase in environmental disasters as a result of climate change and suffer higher losses due to natural disasters relative to their economic strength than OECD countries. Households, businesses and public authorities in DCs generally have little or no access to insurance solutions that could help manage the economic consequences of severe weather disasters and facilitate adaptation to climate change. Œ ŒAs a contribution to climate adaptation, the German G7 presidency therefore launched the InsuResilience Initiative in 2015, succeeded by the G20 InsuResilience Global Partnership. The InsuResilience Investment Fund (IIF, previously called the Climate Insurance Fund) is a contribution of German Financial Cooperation (FC) to this initiative. The IIF aims to increase capacity in DC to deal with impacts and adapt to climate change by improving the supply and use of extreme weather insurance. These help mitigate the costs of consequences and associated financial and sometimes existential risks for poor and vulnerable affected people (such as low-income households, microfinance clients, and farms in DCs). In addition, the Fund is pursuing the further development of insurance products among investees to provide additional incentives for climate change adaptation measures. ŒTo achieve these goals, the IIF provides equity investments as well as loans, guarantees or so-called contingency loans to insurance companies or intermediaries working with them (e.g. brokers and financial institutions). In addition to the financing measures, advisory and training measures are financed for the development of needs-oriented insurance policies, the empowerment of investment recipients, the design of simple, understandable and fair insurance policies in the sense of responsible finance, and, if necessary, measures to promote the basic financial education of policyholders (financial literacy). To enable the development of financially sustainable insurance solutions for extreme weather risks, the IIF will also support market development in the reinsurance sector where necessary. In order to support the introduction of new insurance products, the Fund will additionally provide temporary and limited funding to reduce insurance premiums for end-insureds.

Integrated Programm to Improve Living Conditions in Gulu, Phase II. The FC project pursues an integrated approach which, for the first time in Uganda, combines measures in the area of water and sanitation with measures in the areas of waste disposal, surface drainage and technical land use planning. Œ ŒFor decades, the region around the city of Gulu was the centre of the armed conflict between the Ugandan military and the rebel group Lord Resistance Army (LRA). Due to the strong population growth caused by the settlement of refugees, neglected investments in infrastructure and a lack of land use planning, the access rates to an adequate water supply system in Gulu are far below the national average. Due to a lack of planned surface drainage, floods repeatedly occur, especially in informal settlement areas. There is no functioning waste disposal system. Œ ŒAgainst this background, the FC module aims to supply the population of Gulu, especially the inhabitants of informal settlement areas, with hygienically safe drinking water at economically viable and socially acceptable prices, to guarantee basic sanitation services that are both hygienic and ecologically sound, and to improve settlement hygiene through a functioning waste disposal system and planned surface drainage in districts particularly affected by flooding. Œ ŒDue to the high investment requirements and the current acute undersupply of the city with central basic infrastructure, the project is divided into two phases. Phase I comprises short-term effective immediate measures to improve the supply situation as quickly as possible  the second phase is being prepared in parallel and comprises the development of the Nile as a water source for Gulu, whereby the demand for water can be fully met. In Phase I, the World Bank is supporting the urban water supplier National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) in Gulu in rehabilitating and expanding the urban water and sanitation infrastructure in parallel with FC.

The consequences of climate change are a major contributor to these developments. Œ ŒThe aim of the Project is to strengthen the population's drought resilience. In addition, the nutritional basis as well as employment and income opportunities should be improved. The target group (indigenous peoples) is the agro-pastoral and pastoral farming population of the Karamoja sub-region as well as migrating nomads from the bordering regions in Kenya and South Sudan. The Project contributes to the objective of the IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI) by strengthening the drought resilience of communities in arid and semi-arid areas. It also contributes to the Uganda Vision 2040, the Marshall Plan of BMZ and the Agenda 2063 of the African Union.

composite financing project solar credit line via TKYB. With its growing population and economy, Turkey is a major electricity consumer and greenhouse gas emitter in the region and is therefore of considerable importance for global climate protection. In the "Intended Nationally Determined Contribution" (INDC) announced with the Paris Climate Agreement, Turkey has set itself an expansion target of 30 GW for solar electricity by 2030. The financing requirements to achieve these expansion targets are huge. The project "Solar credit line via TKYB" aims at private investments in renewable energies - especially at photovoltaic investments - in order to promote environmentally friendly power generation. For this purpose KfW provides the Turkish development bank TKYB (Türkiye Kalkinma ve Yatirim Bankasi A.S) with funds of up to EUR 45 million (concessional development loan via the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Turkey). Œ ŒThe state-owned development bank TKYB has a lot of experience in financing renewable energy facilities. With this new "Solar Credit Line via TKYB" this experience is taken into account while TKYB is focusing on the financing of medium-sized and small photovoltaic systems. Thus TKYB is in a position to provide favorable and long-term loans for projects in the field of electricity generation from renewable energies, so that project developers have incentives to invest more in these types of projects. The purpose of the project is to contribute to the ambitious solar electricity expansion targets of the Turkish government, to global climate protection and to sustainable economic growth in Turkey. The direct beneficiaries of the project are private investors who implement photovoltaic projects with loans through TKYB. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are all electricity consumers connected to the grid. Private households, companies and energy consumers in the public sector benefit from an increased supply of electricity. The Turkish population benefits through improved living conditions in the long term, reduced environmental pollution, stable economic development and reduced import dependency through the use of domestic renewable energy sources.

Latin American Green Bond Fund - Peru Window. The project aims to establish a Peruvian investment window of the Latin American Green Bond Fund ("LAGREEN"). Green bonds are fixed-interest bonds issued by players with an active involvement in climate financing (including private and state banks, project developers of renewable energy projects). In this context, the proceeds from the bond are allocated to a specific climate project and compliance with binding criteria is monitored transparently during the term of the bond. ŒAn anchor investment by LAGREEN in a green bond has a positive signalling effect to the local capital market: if LAGREEN examines and implements an investment, it becomes more attractive for local investors to invest in the same green bond. This introduces private investors to this relatively new financial market instrument and attracts them to invest directly in Green Bonds. The LAGREEN thus leverages the public funds used and provides urgently needed additional private capital for climate-friendly investments to achieve the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In addition, LAGREEN plans to invest in local currency green bonds where possible to encourage the development of local capital markets.

Mivivienda Verde Fase III. The main objective of this project is to contribute to the dissemination of appropriate energy efficiency technologies in the social housing sector in Peru, increase the sustainability of the national energy system and mitigate GHG emissions within the framework of the National Determined Contributions for Combating Climate Change (NDC) defined by the Peruvian government. Œ ŒThus, under the joint phase III programme between AFD and KfW, two lines of credit are being prepared for Fondo Mivivienda with the aim of financing mortgage loans on favorable terms through financial intermediaries (IFI) for new owners for the acquisition of energy efficient and certified social homes and apartments, while supporting Fondo Mivienda in strengthening its social and inclusive role. Œ ŒIn quantitative terms, it is estimated the Project could finance around 4,000 additional social housing units consolidating substantially the sustainable housing market on both the demand and supply sides, strengthening green project certification requirements and related financial incentives. Last but not least stronger focus on gender equality and on groups such as persons with disabilities, from low-income classes or living in locations outside Lima.

Aufbau eines Fahrradwegnetzes im Metropolbereich Lima  Construction of a bicycle trail network in Metropolitan Lima. In Peru wird das Fahrrad bisher kaum als öffentliches Verkehrsmittel genutzt und selbst in der Hauptstadt Lima gibt es nur vereinzelt Radwege. Bisher gibt es aber auf Zentralebene keinen "Sponsor", der den Ausbau der Fahrradinfrastruktur unterstützt und die Lokalregierungen sind ohne Unterstützung bei dessen Planung und Finanzierung überfordert. Ziel des Vorhabens ist es daher, Peru bei der Strukturierung und Umsetzung eines öffentlichen Investitionsvorhabens zu unterstützen, welches das Fahrrad als alternatives öffentliches Verkehrsmittel etabliert. Das Fahrradnetz insbesondere in Lima soll vervollständigt und intermodale Schnittstellen zu Metro/Schnellbussystem hergestellt werden. Der Anteil des nicht motorisierten Verkehrs soll so erhöht und die öffentliche Wahrnehmung bezgl. angepassten alternativen Verkehrsformen gestärkt werden. Geplante Maßnahmen sind u.a. die Planung für den Aufbau eines integrierten Fahrradnetzes, Finanzierung von Feasibility-Studien für einzelne Radwegabschnitte und Investitionsfinanzierung zur Vervollständigung des Netzes in Lima. Die breitangelegte Nutzung von Fahrrädern als Verkehrsmittel hat erhebliche positive Auswirkungen auf die Klimaziele Perus und steht im Einklang mit einer Reform des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs in Peru. Zudem wird das Projekt eine umfassende Multiplikatorwirkung entfalten. Das geplante FZ-Vorhaben sieht einen FZ-Zuschuss i.H.v. EUR 20 Mio. an die Stadt Lima als Projektträger vor. Das DKTI Projekt wird inhaltlich folgende andere FZ-Vorhaben ergänzen: a) NAMA-PBL (Policy Based Lending) zu urbaner Mobilität, welcher Politikreformen im Bereich des ÖPNVs und Transportsektors strukturiert und unterstützt  b) DKTI-Vorhaben: Aufbau von ÖPNV-Systemen in ausgewählten Städten und c) Investitionsvorhaben zur Teilfinanzierung der Metrolinie 2 in Lima. Das Projekt ist Teil der deutschen BMZ-Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) und gliedert sich in den BMZ-Schwerpunkt "Nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung" ein.  En Perú, la bicicleta apenas se usa como medio de transporte público y hasta en la capital, Lima, sólo hay muy pocos ciclovías. Sin embargo, hasta ahora no hay ningún "patrocinador" a nivel central que apoye la ampliación de la infraestructura para bicicletas y los gobiernos locales no lo logran sin apoyo externo en la planificación y financiación. Por ende, el objetivo de este proyecto es apoyar a Perú en la estructuración y ejecución de un proyecto de inversión pública que establezca la bicicleta como medio de transporte público alternativo. La red de ciclovías en Lima será completada y se establecerán interfaces intermodales con el sistema de metro/autobús rápido. Así se pretende aumentar la cuota del transporte no motorizado y reforzar la percepción pública de las formas alternativas de transporte. Las medidas incluyen la planificación del desarrollo de una red ciclista integrada, la financiación de estudios de viabilidad de tramos individuales de carril bici y la financiación de inversiones para completar la red en Lima. El uso generalizado de la bicicleta como medio de transporte tiene un impacto muy positivo en los objetivos climáticos de Perú y está en consonancia con una reforma del transporte público en el país. Además, el proyecto tendrá un amplio efecto multiplicador. El proyecto prevé una subvención de 20 millones de euros a la ciudad de Lima como ejecutor. El proyecto DKTI complementará los siguientes proyectos de la FC: a) NAMA-PBL de movilidad urbana, que estructura y apoya las reformas políticas en el ámbito del transporte público y el sector del transporte  b) proyecto DKTI: Desarrollo de sistemas de transporte público en ciudades seleccionadas  y c) Proyecto de inversión para cofinanciar la línea 2 del metro de Lima. El proyecto forma parte de la Iniciativa de Movilidad Urbana Transformadora (TUMI) del BMZ alemán y se integra en el área prioritaria del BMZ "Desarrollo Urbano Sostenible".

COVID-19: Grüner Wiederaufbau in Peru  COVID 19: Green Recovery Program in Peru. Mit dem übergeordneten Ziel, einen Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Klimaschutzstrategie der peruanischen Regierung zu leisten, soll der peruanischen Entwicklungsbank COFIDE im Rahmen ihres staatlichen Auftrags zur Förderung der Klimafinanzierung ein zinsverbilligtes Darlehen als offene Kreditlinie in Höhe von bis zu 250 Mio. EUR in USD-Gegenwert zur Verfügung gestellt werden. ŒAufgrund der anhaltenden Corona-Krise und der damit verbundenen wirtschaftlichen Rezession soll mit dem Vorhaben zunächst die peruanische Wirtschaft im Rahmen des per Regierungsdekret verabschiedeten Corona-Soforthilfeprogramms bei der Bekämpfung der unmittelbaren negativen Folgen der Pandemie für Kleinst- und kleine Unternehmen (KKU) kurzfristig unterstützt werden. ŒZentrale Instrumente des peruanischen Corona-Soforthilfeprogramms sind die eigens dafür eingerichteten nationalen Garantiefonds Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a Micro y Pequeñas Empresas (FAE-MYPE) und Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del Sector Turismo (FAE-TURISMO), die in Abhängigkeit der Kreditsumme bis zu 98% der Einzelkredite gegenüber den lokalen FI oder Kreditgenossenschaften (und damit mittelbar gegenüber COFIDE) absichern. ŒDie französische Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD), die Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) und die European Investment Bank (EIB) werden sich voraussichtlich ebenfalls an dem Programm beteiligen. ŒDer Beitrag zum grünen Wiederaufbau ("COVID-19: grüner Wiederaufbau") wird durch Finanzierung klimafreundlicher Investitionen geleistet, sobald sich die peruanische Wirtschaft erholt hat, die kurzfristigen Corona-Soforthilfen an die FI bzw. COFIDE zurückgezahlt worden sind und die Investitionsbereitschaft bei den Unternehmen in den nächsten Jahren wieder gestiegen ist.  Con el objetivo general de contribuir a la aplicación de la estrategia de protección del clima del gobierno peruano, la Corporación Financiera al Desarrollo (COFIDE), el banco de desarrollo peruano, recibirá un préstamo concesional como una línea de crédito de hasta 250 millones de Euros equivalentes en Dólares estadounidenses, como parte de su mandato gubernamental de promover la financiación del clima. ŒDebido a la actual crisis económica derivada de la emergencia sanitaria originada por el Covid 19, el proyecto tiene por objeto inicialmente prestar apoyo a corto plazo a la economía peruana en el marco de las medidas gubernamentales en materia económica y financiera para la promoción del financiamiento de las micro y pequeñas empresas (MYPE), que se vean afectadas por el contexto internacional y local adverso, producto de la propagación del COVID-19 en el territorio peruano. ŒLos instrumentos centrales de estas medidas extraordinarias contenidas en el Decreto de Urgencia 029-2020 y el Decreto de Urgencia 076-2020 son los fondos de garantía nacionales: Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a Micro y Pequeñas Empresas (FAE-MYPE) y Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del Sector Turismo (FAE-TURISMO), que fueron creados específicamente para este fin y que, dependiendo del monto del préstamo, dan garantía de hasta el 98% del monto de los préstamos individuales a las Financieras de Intermediación (FI) o cooperativas de crédito locales (y por lo tanto indirectamente a COFIDE). También se espera que participen en el programa la Agencia Francesa de Desarrollo (AFD), la Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) y el Banco Europeo de Inversiones (BEI). ŒLa contribución a la reconstrucción verde ("COVID-19: Programa de Reconstrucción Verde") se hará mediante la financiación de inversiones para el combate del cambio climático una vez que la economía peruana se haya recuperado, los créditos a corto plazo de corona se hayan amortizado a las FI o a COFIDE y la voluntad de las empresas de invertir haya aumentado de nuevo en los próximos años.

Sektorprogramm NAMA für nachhaltigen Stadtverkehr  Programa sectorial de reformas &quot NAMA para un Transporte Urbano Sostenible en el Perú (fase III+IV)&quot . Der Transportsektor in Peru ist für 14.9 MtCO2 pro Jahr (entspricht etwa 40%) an Emissionen verantwortlich, einen funktionierenden ÖPNV gibt es nicht. Inhaltlich soll dieses Vorhaben (NAMA - Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action) die peruanische Regierung dabei unterstützen, Politikreformen im Bereich des ÖPNVs und Transportsektors anhand einer Policy Matrix zu strukturieren und über mehrere Jahre zu begleiten (Sektorreformprogramm). Die vorgesehenen Policy Reformen des Vorhabens werden folgende Themenfelder des Sektors bearbeiten: 1) ÖPNV System in Lima  2) Aufbau von ÖPNV-Systemen in ausgewählten Sekundärstädten  3) Maßnahmen zur Begrenzung von Schadstoffemissionen durch den Individualverkehr  4) Modernisierung der öffentlichen Busflotten  5) Weiterentwicklung der institutionellen Koordinierung des öffentlichen Transportwesens in der Metropolregion Lima  6) Nicht-motorisierter Verkehr. ŒEs bestehen zwischen der Policy Matrix und den FZ-Vorhaben im Transportsektor wichtige Querverbindungen. Über gemeinsames Auftreten und Strukturierung des Vorhabens durch TZ und FZ können wichtige Impulse gegeben werden (und in diesem spezifischen Fall Sichtbarkeit und Relevanz erhöht werden). Seitens der dt. EZ (DOs FZ und TZ) konnten zu den einzelnen Policyfeldern erhebliche Impulse geleistet werden, die sich in einer potentiellen Phase III und IV weiter ausbauen und absichern lassen. Als Finanzierungsinstrument zur Unterstützung des Sektorreformprogramm soll ein Policy Based Lending (PBL) zur Anwendung kommen ŒZiel des Vorhabens ist es, Peru bei der Strukturierung und Umsetzung von Politikreformen im Bereich des ÖPNVs und Transportsektors weiter zu unterstützen und über 2-3 Jahre (2 Phasen) kontinuierlich zu begleiten (Sektorreformprogramm). Das Vorhaben konnte bisher nachweisbare und gut darstellbare strukturverändernde Policy Reformen unterstützen. Es ist entwicklungspolitisch sehr opportun diese und andere Policy Reformen bei der weiteren Umsetzung zu begleiten.

Strengthening of the National Quality Infrastructure for the Management of Natural Ressources and Monitoring of Environmental and Climate Parameters II. Environmental monitoring and the sustainable use of natural resources are important political issues in Peru. So far, quality infrastructure services are not sufficiently available to support public environmental monitoring and value chains of biodiversity-relevant products. The project therefore helps to ensure that measurements and analyses in the context of environmental monitoring are a reliable basis for decision-makers and that the product quality of biodiversity-relevant products is also increased. The goal is to strengthen the quality infrastructure to expand the range of services for the management of natural resources and the monitoring of environmental and climate parameters in Peru.
Key measures to achieve the objectives are divided into three fields of action: Strengthening quality infrastructure and promoting exchanges with the environmental sector regarding environmental monitoring, and with actors from value chains more relevant to biodiversity to increase product quality of Brazil nuts and tara. The third, overarching component aims at institutional strengthening of INACAL in order to further develop quality infrastructure services and collaborate with new sectors.
Partners of the project are the Peruvian Quality Institute (INACAL) with its departments of Metrology, Standardization, Accreditation and Strategic Development. In addition, the project supports the exchange of INACAL with the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) and with actors of the Brazil nut and Tara value chains. INACAL and MINAM are based in Lima, therefore much of the project activities were concentrated in the capital. However, awareness-raising activities and work on value chains is also intended to take place in regions such as Madre de Dios and Cajamarca.  Public sector and private sector actors are increasingly using quality infrastructure services in the field of environmental monitoring and sustainable use of natural resources.

Integrated Sector Program Irrigation (JISA) (BM). Egypt, with its extremely low rainfall, is one of the most arid countries in the world. Its agriculture, which at 80% uses the majority of the fresh water available each year - almost all of it Nile water - for irrigation, suffers from water shortages. The already foreseeable negative effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, higher evaporation rates and the salinization of coastal waters due to rising sea levels, will exacerbate the problem of water scarcity. With decreasing water availability per capita, increasing agricultural water productivity is the only practicable way to secure irrigated agriculture as a source of income for the predominantly poor (small) farmers. Œ ŒThe project is jointly financed by several donors and has two components. On the one hand, there is the intensification of the irrigation sector dialog between the Egyptian Ministry of Water and the participating donors with the aim of contributing to an increase in the coherence of sector reform planning and its implementation. The second component consists of financing necessary investments in the rehabilitation and expansion of the irrigation canal network, the nationwide drainage system and irrigation and drainage pumping stations Œ  Sustainable safeguarding of irrigated agriculture despite declining water availability per capita across the country Œ

Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation II. The project "Rehabilitation of Hydropower Plants II" is to continue the modernisation of the strategically important hydropower plants in Aswan. The project includes necessary modernisation measures at all three power plants, which complement the previous projects in a meaningful way, in particular the urgent replacement of large machine transformers. FC financing is to be provided in the form of a standard loan of up to EUR 41 million. The borrower is the Arab Republic of Egypt, represented by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The programme executing agency is the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) and its legally independent subsidiary, the Hydro Plant Generation Company (HPGC). HPGC owns and operates the two hydropower plants. Both programme executing agencies are long-standing and established partners of KfW Entwicklungsbank. ŒThe aim of the project is to sustainably ensure the contribution of hydropower to a reliable, climate-friendly and cost-efficient electricity supply as well as to stabilise the grid and cover peak loads. In addition to meeting the electricity needs of around 7.5 million Egyptians in a climate-friendly and cost-efficient manner, the three large Aswan power plants (together currently 2,692 MW) have an important stabilising function in the operation of the entire Egyptian electricity supply system and in the integration of fluctuating renewable energies into the interconnected grid. In this way, the project contributes to global climate protection and sustainable electricity supply as the basis for Egypt's economic development. From the perspective of German DC, the project offers the opportunity to assert itself as a reliable bilateral partner with a valuable unique selling point in a sub-sector that remains strategically important for Egypt.  Sustainable securing of hydropower as a contribution to a reliable, climate-friendly and cost-efficient electricity supply as well as to grid stabilisation and coverage of peak loads.

Joint Integrated Sector Approach (JISA ) - Rehabilitaion of Canals. The core problem is the severe water shortage in Egypt: since 1990, the annual availability of renewable fresh water per inhabitant has fallen below the water shortage limit of 1,000 m³ and is currently around 570 m³/inhabitant and year. A demand of about 114 billion m³/year is matched by a supply of only 59 billion m³/year. Furthermore, Egypt is almost exclusively dependent on the Nile as its only water resource (about 95%). Poor water management, especially in irrigated agriculture, with a water use efficiency of only about 50%, further contributes to water scarcity. Œ ŒThe FC thematic project is financed through a budget loan and a grant for the accompanying measure. Under the project, various rehabilitation measures are being carried out at the secondary canal level (branch canals) of the Egyptian irrigation system. This includes rehabilitation work on the canal cross-section as well as rehabilitation or replacement work on the hydraulic structures and the road bridges over the canals. Specifically, the measures are to be carried out on the two canals El Khandel El Sharky and Sahel Morkos.

Program Energy Efficiency II. In this project, funds are provided to enable lending by the Micro- Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency (MSMEDA) project executing agency to Egyptian micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) to invest in energy or emission saving measures. The special feature of this project is the approach of downscaling energy efficient investments: Through attractive financing conditions, the mass of Egyptian entrepreneurs* should also be given incentives to invest in saving greenhouse gases, which also makes economic sense in the long run. This can involve measures such as the purchase of modern air-conditioning units, but also the use of climate-friendly vehicles, i.e. standardized measures, which is more practicable for volume business in the MSME sector than individual tests. All investments will be assessed in line with the criteria used by the Green for Growth Fund (GGF) before any lending takes place. This may also require the involvement of an external expert in order to guarantee the set target of at least 20% reduction in greenhouse gases across the entire portfolio. Due to the novelty of the product, the accompanying measure will strengthen MSMEDA's capacity to establish and further develop its credit and all downstream processes.

Rehabilitation of Technical and Vocational Education and Training Schools II. The Egyptian economy suffers from a shortage of well-trained specialists. At the same time, there is a very high number of young people looking for work. Due to high population growth, about 850,000 young people enter the labor market each year, most of whom do not find employment in the formal sector. A central cause of this disparity is inadequate vocational training at state vocational schools. Graduates do not have the skills needed in the private sector and, accordingly, are not hired in their skill areas. The Egyptian government has recognized the need for a comprehensive transformation in the vocational training sector and launched the "Technical Education 2.0" reform. Œ ŒThe project focuses on adequate and practical training of teachers from state vocational training schools and training personnel from the private sector in accordance with the new quality standards of the Egyptian education reform. The aim is to improve the quality, broad impact, and reputation of vocational training. This is intended to improve the institutional and human resource conditions for sustainable and job-creating economic growth in Egypt. Œ ŒTo this end, three centers of excellence - including one each in Hurghada and Aswan - are being expanded to include modern training centers where advanced training courses of the Technical Vocational Education Teachers Academy (TVETA) can be held.

FCTI - Financial Support for the Comprehensive Technical Education Initiative. The Egyptian economy suffers from a shortage of well-trained specialists. At the same time, there is a very high number of young people looking for work. Due to high population growth, about 1 million young people enter the labor market each year, most of whom do not find employment in the formal sector. A central cause of this disparity is inadequate vocational training at public vocational schools. Graduates do not have the skills needed in the private sector, resulting in one of three people under the age of 25 being unemployed. The Egyptian government has recognized the need for a comprehensive transformation in the technical education sector and launched the "Technical Education 2.0" reform. Œ ŒThe project is part of the New and Comprehensive Technical Education Initiative and supports the Egyptian government's technical education reform. The aim is to improve the employment situation of young adults with high-quality, practice-oriented vocational training that is relevant to the labor market and thereby to promote the local economy. Œ ŒFor this purpose, the project finances the design, construction, equipment and setup of several sectoral Centers of Competence (CoC). The CoCs shall be developed as a brand and quality seal for the provision of high quality and practically oriented training, related to the needs of the regional and sectoral labor market, as well as to the potential of resource and environmental protection. They will support a green transition in the respective sectors, providing the required competences to enhance the environmental performance of related production processes. Students shall find a tailored education that makes them fit for employment in the relevant sectors, and companies shall have the opportunity to actively shape the skill formation of their future employees.  The Egyptian economy suffers from a shortage of well-trained specialists. At the same time, there is a very high number of young people looking for work. Due to high population growth, about 1 million young people enter the labor market each year, most of whom do not find employment in the formal sector. A central cause of this disparity is inadequate vocational training at public vocational schools. Graduates do not have the skills needed in the private sector, resulting in one of three people under the age of 25 being unemployed. The Egyptian government has recognized the need for a comprehensive transformation in the technical education sector and launched the "Technical Education 2.0" reform. Œ ŒThe project is part of the New and Comprehensive Technical Education Initiative and supports the Egyptian government's technical education reform. The aim is to improve the employment situation of young adults with high-quality, practice-oriented vocational training that is relevant to the labor market and thereby to promote the local economy. Œ ŒFor this purpose, the project finances the design, construction, equipment and setup of several sectoral Centers of Competence (CoC). The CoCs shall be developed as a brand and quality seal for the provision of high quality and practically oriented training, related to the needs of the regional and sectoral labor market, as well as to the potential of resource and environmental protection. They will support a green transition in the respective sectors, providing the required competences to enhance the environmental performance of related production processes. Students shall find a tailored education that makes them fit for employment in the relevant sectors, and companies shall have the opportunity to actively shape the skill formation of their future employees.

Promotion of Energy Efficiency. The module is part of the thematic program 'Green Energy Transition Program' in Egypt which consists of several components with a mix of different financing instruments and project implementing agencies. The total financing amounts to 147,0 m EUR (104 m EUR in budgetary loans as well as 43 m EUR grants). The project supports the national climate goals and initiatives of the Egyptian government for the implementation of the green energy transition, namely, an 18%-increase in energy efficiency and achieving 42% of renewable electricity generation capacity in the energy mix until 2030. This can only be reached through substantial investments in the expansion of renewables, the expansion and modernization of the existing transmission grid as well as energy efficiency measures. Through the first two components a central substation and accompanying measures in the areas of digitalization, sustainability and capacity building are financed in cooperation with the Egyptian Energy Transmission Company as the PIA. Further investments will be developed together with the partners, such as further investments in the expansion of transmission and distribution networks or renewable energy generation capacity as well as pilot measures in the area of energy efficiency, digitalization and certification of green electricity.  The module is part of the thematic program 'Green Energy Transition Program' with the aim to contribute to an efficient and climate-friendly electricity supply in Egypt. Concretely, the modernization of the transmission grid infrastructure as well as energy efficiency measures shall be financed through the module.

Building resilience and enhancing food security for vulnerable rural households in Egypt. Egypt is the world's largest importer of wheat, whilst importing 62% of its total wheat consumption (approximately 11.3 million tonnes) from Russia and Ukraine in 2020. The increases in food prices due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine thus threaten the food security of the Egyptian population, especially vulnerable households such as families with children. ŒThe project "Building resilience and enhancing food security for vulnerable rural households in Egypt" is implemented by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), which works closely with the Egyptian Ministries of Agriculture and Education, as well as the regional governments. The project aims to increase the food security of 15,000 vulnerable households and 20,000 smallholder farmers in the Sharkeya and Sohag governorates in Egypt. This is to be achieved through cash transfers for the poorest rural population in return for their children's school attendance and resilience building by increasing the productivity of wheat and other crops. The measures will be complemented by support for the national wheat fortification programme and the establishment of about 500 wheat producers' associations. The proposed interventions are aligned with the WFP Country Programme 2018-2023 for Egypt. ŒThe implementation of the project is expected to start in October 2022 with a scheduled implementation period of 18 months. The German contribution of EUR 20 million will be financed from the special initiative "One World Without Hunger" (SI AGER).  Improving the food situation through food aid and transfer payments to rural households in order to ensure social security, especially for children, young people and women.

Financial Sector Development: promoting growth and export-oriented small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Rwanda. The project "Promotion of growth and export-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)" aims to improve the supply of needs-based financial services for growth and export-oriented SMEs (target group) in Rwanda, as an important driver of Rwanda's economic stability and development, and thus to contribute to broadening and deepening the financial sector (FC module objective). In this way, the project contributes to securing and increasing skilled employment and income (German DC programme objective) and thus to reducing poverty (overarching developmental objective). An FC grant of EUR 8.5 million is available for the project. Of this, EUR 6 million is to be disbursed by the project partner Rwandan Devlopment Bank (BRD) as loans to selected partner financial institutions (PFIs) and used to grant loans to growth and export-oriented SMEs (component 1). A complementary measure in the amount of EUR 2.5 million is to support the project executing agency and the partner financial institutions in establishing a corresponding product range (component 2). The Rwandan Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) and the BRD as the project partner will provide an additional RWF 1.0 million for the project (counterpart contribution). Due to the novelty of the project, we intend to carry out a pilot phase of up to twelve months, during which the project concept will be reviewed and adapted if necessary. The pilot phase also serves to validate the indicators. After completion of the pilot phase, the project is to be extended to other partner financial institutions. If the project progresses positively, we anticipate a medium-term need for additional FC funds in the amount of EUR 15 million (ex-ante review).

Wasserkraftwerk Ruzizi III  Centrale hydroélectrique régionale Ruzizi III. Die Region der Großen Seen wird in ihrer sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung von einem gravierenden Mangel an moderner Energie behindert. Die nationalen Strommärkte sind durch unzureichende Stromversorgung und schlechte Netzinfrastruktur einerseits und hohe Erzeugungskosten und ungünstige strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen anderseits gekennzeichnet. Im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (DRC), insbesondere in den Provinzen Nord- und Süd Kivu, ist die Situation zusätzlich verschärft, da die Region nicht an das nationale Verbundnetz angeschlossen ist. Durch den Bau des Wasserkraftwerks (WKW) Ruzizi III am gleichnamigen Grenzfluss wollen die drei Anrainerstaaten Ruanda, Burundi und die DRC diesem Hemmnis begegnen. Das WKW Ruzizi III wird über eine Projektgesellschaft, die Ruzizi III Energy Limited (REL) umgesetzt. Œ ŒUnter der Federführung der Regionalorganisation EGL (Energie des Grands Lacs) soll der Bau des WKW Ruzizi III als Public Private Partnership (PPP) unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung eines privaten Investors über eine Projektgesellschaft, die Ruzizi Energy Limited (REL) umgesetzt werden. Die Gesamtkosten für den Bau des WKW Ruzizi III werden auf etwa 795 Mio. USD (ca. 736 Mio. EUR) geschätzt. Die Finanzierung erfolgt vor allem durch bi- und multilaterale Entwicklungsbanken. Die FZ unterstützt das regionale Vorhaben mit einem FZ-Zuschuss an Ruanda i.H.v. 15 Mio. EUR Der FZ-Beitrag soll über Ruanda an die Projektgesellschaft in Form von Fremdkapital weiter geleitet werden.

The project contributes to the sustainable management of natural resources as part of Madagascar&apos s national poverty reduction strategy and national environmental programme (DC programme objective). The main objective is to contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources in Madagascar&apos s coastal areas (FC module objective). ŒThe natural resources are to be managed more sustainably by supporting locally managed marine areas (LMMAs) in cooperation with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) already active there. The measures promoted by NGOs in the LMMAs include the development and implementation of resource management agreements such as the designation of protected zones and seasons, restrictions on fishing tools, the promotion of alternative sources of income in aquaculture and agriculture, and the reforestation of mangrove forests. The increased yields from improved natural resource management benefit the riparian population dependent on subsistence fishing and farming. ŒThe recipient of the Financial Cooperation contribution is the Republic of Madagascar, represented by the Ministry of Finance. The project executing agency is Madagascar National Parks, which is responsible not only for the management of terrestrial and marine protected areas, but also for involving the local population in the sustainable protection of the sensitive ecosystems. To this end, MNP is working closely with NGOs that are already implementing the LMMA approach in the planned project regions. The total cost of the project is estimated at around EUR 12.1 million. An FC grant of EUR 10 million is available to finance the costs of the project, which will be supplemented by contributions from the NGOs and MNP.

Electrification of rural areas through renewable energy II. The Financial Cooperation (FC) project "Electrification of Rural Regions through Renewable Energies" (Phase I and II) aims to achieve an ecologically and economically sustainable supply of previously unelectrified rural regions with electricity generated from renewable energies. ŒThe project executing agency is the Agence de Développement de l'Electrification Rurale (ADER), which is responsible for the electrification of rural regions in Madagascar. The project is being implemented as a public-private partnership (PPP) project, under which two hydropower plants with a total capacity of 9.2 MW are to be planned, (partly) financed, constructed and operated by private concessionaries. ŒThe central target group is the population in rural areas outside the interconnected grid of the state power utility JIRAMA, i.e. predominantly poorer sections of the population with little or no access to electricity. The project also aims to promote local businesses and tradespeople that help create employment and income opportunities for the local population. ŒFC primarily provides funds to subsidize the investment costs of the projects through ADER. This is intended to enable electricity tariffs to be set in such a way that the electricity is affordable for end customers and the resulting income is sustainably adequate for the concessionaires. ŒThe total cost of the project is estimated at around EUR 47 million. FC funds are to provide a total financial contribution of EUR 31.1 million, the concessionaires are to contribute about EUR 11 million and the Malagasy state about EUR 4.5 million. For a planned complementary measure, additional FC funds in the amount of EUR 1 million are proposed for financing. ŒThe project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

The project contributes to the conservation of Madagascar&apos s diverse and unique flora and fauna and its use through nature tourism. The objective of the project (FC module objective) is to enable the project-executing agency Madagascar National Parks (MNP) to ensure the integrated and sustainable management of the protected areas on a permanent basis in terms of strategy, administration, technology and finance, thus contributing to the development of the riparian areas. The FC module builds on the previous successful cooperation with MNP. The project executing agency is supported in the implementation of its newly developed strategic plan (2022 - 2026), which incorporates the learning experiences from the implementation of the previous strategic plan. The measures of the project are oriented towards the four strategic pillars of MNPs: nature conservation, participatory protected area management, priority markets and management. The project will focus on the implementation of activities to promote the socio-economic development of the riparian communities and investments in tourism infrastructure. In addition, salaries and operating costs will be financed on a degressive basis. It is planned that from 2027 onwards, the nature conservation foundation FAPBM, which is also supported by FC, will take over the financing of the salaries of all 43 MNP protected areas. Furthermore, through the module on technical and organisational guidance, MNP will be encouraged to further improve its organisational efficiency, reduce operating costs and increase and diversify revenues.

Promotion of vocational training (TVET) IV. Despite Rwanda's dynamic economic development, both youth unemployment (22.4%) and underemployment (55.7%) remain very prevalent, which was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These labor market problems partly stem from a lack of vocational education and training, as well as weak demand for vocational measures. Thus, the project on the one hand aims at strengthening the quality and availability of vocational training and, on the other hand, increasing its attractiveness while at the same time facilitating access. Phase IV and V of the project are being carried out together, with the overall support amounting to EUR 29 million. In addition, the measures are to be continued with a potential sum of EUR 30 million. The program builds on existing infrastructure investments at a total of 19 vocational schools. Similar to the previous phases, the goal of the project is to increase the number of graduates with employment-relevant skills with an additional focus on women.

Œ ŒAs part of Rwanda's decentralisation policy, the FC measure supports the institution LODA, which finances local infrastructure projects at district level and accompanies or advises the districts in the planning, implementation and operation of these projects. The objective of the project is (i) to contribute to poverty reduction by improving the general living conditions of the target population and (ii) to improve the administrative services of the districts in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and transparency (dual objective). Œ ŒLODA is responsible for implementing funds from several donors as well as the Rwandan government. The infrastructure projects stem from the district development plans drawn up with the involvement of the population and their elected representatives. The FC measure serves the needs of the local population nationwide in all 30 districts. In accordance with the project concept, the focus is on individual projects that contribute to the sustainable economic development and socio-economic development of rural areas. In addition to investments in local infrastructure projects, the FC contribution also finances consulting services to strengthen the administrative capacities of the districts and LODA. The target group is the entire population of Rwanda (approx. 11.7 million people). The FC contribution amounts to up to EUR 12.0 million.

Measures to support environmental and climate change mitigation and adaptation (FONERWA). The project is embedded in the German programme to support decentralisation and good governance. The FC measure promotes the implementation of environmental and climate protection and adaptation measures at the local level through the Rwandan environment and climate fund FONERWA. The fund selects relevant individual projects on the basis of project applications from the districts, but following its strategic realignment it is also intended to increasingly mobilise, manage and coordinate funds to finance climate-relevant programmes of national and strategic interest. The first approach to this is to support the Green City Pilot (GCP) in Gasabo District / Kigali as a showcase project for environmentally sound and climate-friendly urban development. Œ ŒThe overall objective of the project is to increase resilience to the impacts of climate change and to ensure sustainable socio-economic development in Rwanda. The target group of the project is the entire population in the 30 districts of Rwanda (11.7 million people), which is affected by the consequences of climate change and dependent on the sustainable use of natural resources. Œ ŒThe FC contribution amounts to up to EUR 7.0 million. In line with the concept of the previous funding phase, up to EUR 2.0 million will be allocated to investments in local infrastructure projects in all 30 districts, in accordance with the FONERWA application principle (classic approach). Up to EUR 4.5 million will be used to prepare tender-ready planning documents for the Green City Kigali Pilot. EUR 0.5 million will be used for a consulting contract co-financed with SIDA and FCDO to provide institutional advice to FONERWA.

The fund selects relevant individual projects on the basis of project applications from the districts, but following its strategic realignment it is also intended to increasingly mobilise, manage and coordinate funds to finance climate-relevant programmes of national and strategic interest. The first approach to this is to support the Green City Pilot (GCP) in Gasabo District / Kigali as a showcase project for environmentally sound and climate-friendly urban development. Œ ŒThe overall objective of the project is to increase resilience to the impacts of climate change and to ensure sustainable socio-economic development in Rwanda. The target group of the project is the entire population in the 30 districts of Rwanda (11.7 million people), which is affected by the consequences of climate change and dependent on the sustainable use of natural resources. Œ ŒThe FC contribution amounts to up to EUR 7.0 million. In line with the concept of the previous funding phase, up to EUR 2.0 million will be allocated to investments in local infrastructure projects in all 30 districts, in accordance with the FONERWA application principle (classic approach). Up to EUR 4.5 million will be used to prepare tender-ready planning documents for the Green City Kigali Pilot. EUR 0.5 million will be used for a consulting contract co-financed with SIDA and FCDO to provide institutional advice to FONERWA. Œ

Sustainable Urban Development in Rwanda - Green City Kigali. Over the past decades, urbanisation in Rwanda has contributed significantly to poverty reduction and economic development. At the same time, Rwanda is the most densely populated country in Africa and more affected by climate change than the global average. As a result of declining agricultural yields, the trend towards urbanisation is intensifying. Cities often grow unplanned, urban sprawl occurs and informal neighbourhoods often emerge. Due to high soil sealing, however, cities are particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall events, which are becoming more frequent and more severe as a result of climate change. This increases the risk of landslides on the slopes of the country's many hills. ŒAgainst this overall background, the Rwandan government is planning a sustainable and dense urban development, the Green City Kigali, on a 600 ha area on Kinyinya Hill not far from the Rwandan capital. As part of a financial cooperation pilot project, a 16 ha area of this site will be developed and approximately 1,680 housing units will be built. The project serves as a blueprint for integrated, environmentally sound and climate-friendly urban development while increasing settlement density and creating affordable housing. It thus makes a concrete contribution to making Rwanda's cities climate-smart. The target group benefiting from this includes up to 7,000 citizens of Kigali. They benefit from liveable housing, public infrastructure and urban services in the immediate vicinity. This potentially creates improved conditions for employment and economic development.

Promotion of growth and export oriented SMEs including the establishment of an export credit guarantee facility (ECGF). With an FC loan of EUR 14.108 million (EUR 14.11 million in the following text) and a accompanying measure of EUR 1.5 million, a facility is to be set up at the level of the project-executing agency, the Rwanda Development Bank (BRD), which issues loan guarantees to partner financial institutions (PFIs). These guarantees are intended to enable PFIs to finance both growing and export-orientated small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) so that these companies can take up new economic activities and generate additional income. The aim of the programme is to provide a needs-based range of financial services for SMEs and therefore contribute to the diversification and strengthening of the private sector as an important driver of economic stability and development in Rwanda. In this way, the programme not only contributes to the further development of the financial sector, but also increases the country's economic strength and export revenues, thereby helping to promote the private sector and employment and reduce poverty.

Support Reforms of Public Financial Management II. Rwanda's economy has been growing by an average of around seven percent annually for several years. Tax revenues in relation to GDP have also risen steadily in recent years. This development fits in well with Rwanda's efforts to sustainably expand the Rwandan government's (GoR) room for action through increased own revenues and at the same time reduce dependence on donor support. ŒIn recent years, the government has made considerable progress in building a robust and modern public finance system. However, weaknesses remain, particularly in the areas of own revenue mobilisation and management, effective implementation of the Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), accounting and internal audit, and external control.

Thus, the Government of Rwanda has prioritized ICT as a major cross-cutting enabler in reaching its goal of becoming a knowledge-based upper-middle income country. In this context, the public sector plays an important role to push digitalization and innovation forward.

Œ ŒAgainst this background, the ICT Facility supports public sector projects by means of grants. The goal is to enhance the quality of service provision of Rwandan public sector institutions through digital solutions. Supported projects are prioritized in close coordination with public sector stakeholders (ministries, departments, agencies, district and city governments) and selected based on predefined criteria that ensure alignment with national priorities and strategies and that the desired outcomes are achieved efficiently and sustainably.

Support of Social Protection Sector Reforms Rwanda. With Vision 2050, Rwanda aims to become a middle-income country by 2035 and a high-income country by 2050. So far, however, more than half of the population lives below the international poverty line of 1.90 USD per day. In order to fight poverty and realise Vision 2050, the Rwandan government is focusing on the expansion of social protection, which is being implemented through the Vision Umurenge Programme (VUP), among others. In context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has driven many Rwandans into poverty again or for the first time, the VUP is to be expanded both horizontally and vertically as part of the national Covid-19 Economic Recovery Programme (ERP), in addition to the expansion already decided in the course of the national transformation strategy (NST1) and sector strategy. ŒWithin the framework of sector budget financing (policy-based financing), the Rwandan budget is to be supported with EUR 36 million in the expansion of the VUP for vulnerable groups in need of social assistance in order to further reduce extreme poverty in Rwanda. The Local Administrative Entities Development Agency (LODA) is responsible for implementing the VUP at the local level on behalf of the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC).

ICT Facility Rwanda Phase II. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) bear great potential for the socioeconomic development of Rwanda. Thus, the Government of Rwanda has prioritized ICT as a major cross-cutting enabler in reaching its goal of becoming a knowledge-based upper-middle income country. In this context, the public sector plays an important role to push digitalization and innovation forward. Despite impressive progress in digital infrastructure and e-government services, there is still a need for additional investment to fully make use of the potential of ICT to increase government efficiency and to accelerate the socioeconomic development of Rwanda. Œ ŒAgainst this background, the ICT Facility supports public sector projects by means of grants. The goal is to enhance the quality of service provision of Rwandan public sector institutions through digital solutions. Supported projects are prioritized in close coordination with public sector stakeholders (ministries, departments, agencies, district and city governments) and selected based on predefined criteria that ensure alignment with national priorities and strategies and that the desired outcomes are achieved efficiently and sustainably. Funded projects thereby benefit the entire Rwandan population, which potentially benefits from improved public service delivery.

Basket funding for pro-poor infrastructure in Rwanda. The objective of the FC module is to improve the access to basic public services and its utilization of the rural poor population in selected districts. ŒThe basket funding builds on the progress made in the past with FC in local economic development (LED) and the existing systems and regulations. It ensures their application and further develops the framework conditions for LED and infrastructure projects as needed. Existing potentials of citizen participation are better leveraged and expanded by strengthening the role of civil society. Œ ŒThe module thus pursues a systemic and transformative approach that supports Rwanda's politico-strategic goals for local economic development. The approach consists of measures in three integrated and complementary pillars: At the overall strategic level, existing challenges for LED projects are analysed and improvements in the framework conditions and operational processes are proposed and implemented (Pillar I). At the local level, the basket finances pro-poor infrastructure projects in rural poor districts, which are implemented by the district administrations using existing systems and guidelines (Pillar II). This is accompanied by support from a consultant for the establishment of the basket and capacity strengthening at the local level (Pillar III). ŒWe estimate the costs of the module for a 3-year term at EUR 32 million, which will be financed from FC funds in the amount of EUR 16 million (grant) and funds from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) in the amount of EUR 16 million (loan).

Support for Rwanda&apos s NDC implementation (NDC Facility) III. In March 2022, the Climate Partnership between Rwanda and Germany was launched by Federal Minister Schulze and Rwandan Environment Minister Jeanne d'Arc Mujawamariya. One of the main focuses of the climate partnership is to improve climate finance for adaptation and mitigation measures: Finance is the biggest hurdle to implementing Rwanda's climate ambitions. Œ ŒAs a beacon of cooperation, the Rwanda Environment and Climate Fund (FONERWA) is setting up a financing facility with FC support. This NDC facility, known in Rwanda as "Intego", is a key gateway for financing public sector climate projects in Rwanda. ŒIn this context, FONERWA works as an intermediary that forwards FC grants to Rwandan government executing agencies (e.g. municipalities, ministries, state agencies). The projects are selected competitively according to criteria such as their contribution to improving gender equality or their potential to reach vulnerable population groups. These selection criteria aim to ensure that at least 60% of the beneficiaries are women. The gender-specific impacts are to be surveyed regularly. Œ ŒFONERWA's innovative institutional concept of acquiring grants from international donors to support local projects in the field of environment and climate is considered exemplary on the African continent. An essential component of the project is to support FONERWA in further improving grant management procedures (project selection, technical monitoring of project activities and use of funds, environmental and social standards, monitoring of impacts).

Legacy Landscape Initiative. Ecosystems and the services they provide are the basis of human existence and their economic activities, but are threatened by growing human influence. One million species are threatened with extinction. Many ODA countries still have last wilderness areas with significant concentrations of endemic species and regionally and globally important ecosystems. These areas are threatened by massive degradation as a result of increasing anthropogenic pressure. Rural communities and indigenous peoples would lose their livelihoods. Effectively managed protected areas are widely recognized as the most effective tool for safeguarding important landscapes, their biodiversity and ecosystem services. If protected areas are managed and protected appropriately, while respecting the rights and needs of local communities, an important part of the Earth's biodiversity can be preserved. By protecting intact ecosystems, an important contribution can be made to preventing the spread of zoonoses. The core problem is the insufficient funding of the globally most important natural landscapes in the poorer countries of the global south ("Legacy Landscapes"). This contributes to inadequate management of these areas and the loss of globally significant biodiversity. The project aims to secure long-term core funding for globally significant landscapes through a joint public and philanthropic financial transfer from developed countries, strengthening their management and thus making a significant contribution to the conservation of global biodiversity. It contributes significantly to the conservation of globally important terrestrial ecosystems. Based on annual grants from the LLF Foundation, professional partnerships in ODA countries manage selected Legacy Landscapes efficiently and sustainably (Module objective). Recipient of the funds and executing agency of the measure is the non-profit foundation "Legacy Landscapes Fund" established in December 2020.  Ecosystems and the services they provide are the basis of human existence and their economic activities, but are threatened by growing human influence. One million species are threatened with extinction. Many ODA countries still have last wilderness areas with significant concentrations of endemic species and regionally and globally important ecosystems. These areas are threatened by massive degradation as a result of increasing anthropogenic pressure. Rural communities and indigenous peoples would lose their livelihoods. Effectively managed protected areas are widely recognized as the most effective tool for safeguarding important landscapes, their biodiversity and ecosystem services. If protected areas are managed and protected appropriately, while respecting the rights and needs of local communities, an important part of the Earth's biodiversity can be preserved. By protecting intact ecosystems, an important contribution can be made to preventing the spread of zoonoses. The core problem is the insufficient funding of the globally most important natural landscapes in the poorer countries of the global south ("Legacy Landscapes"). This contributes to inadequate management of these areas and the loss of globally significant biodiversity. The project aims to secure long-term core funding for globally significant landscapes through a joint public and philanthropic financial transfer from developed countries, strengthening their management and thus making a significant contribution to the conservation of global biodiversity. It contributes significantly to the conservation of globally important terrestrial ecosystems. Based on annual grants from the LLF Foundation, professional partnerships in ODA countries manage selected Legacy Landscapes efficiently and sustainably (Module objective). Recipient of the funds and executing agency of the measure is the non-profit foundation "Legacy Landscapes Fund" established in December 2020.

FAF Agri-Finance Liquidity Facility (ALF). The project is an investment fund (FAF Agri-finance Liquidity Facility "ALF") to provide liquidity support to farmer enterprises and fair trade organisations in Africa and Latin America. ŒThrough the fund, working capital and bridging loans are provided to Fairtrade or adequately certified producer organisations, agricultural MSMEs and agriculture-focused (micro) financial institutions to meet the urgently needed liquidity needs of these enterprises as a result of the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic. This measure will enable the supported agribusinesses to continue their business operations and thus the impacts in the target regions and to maintain the value chains, especially in the fair trade sector. ŒThe Financial Cooperation measure is part of the BMZ's Corona Immediate Programme and includes a fiduciary holding of a total of EUR 40 million from funds in the 2020 supplementary budget.

Blue Orchard Covid Fund. The objective of the module is to provide liquidity support and risk capital to solvent financial institutions to bridge the liquidity bottlenecks induced by Covid-19 in order to maintain the loan-supply to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing and emerging countries, mainly run by women. For this purpose, BlueOrchard Finance Limited launched the "BlueOrchard COVID-19 Emerging & Frontier Markets MSME Support Fund" (BOCF). The objective of the Fund is to support selected financial institutions in developing and emerging markets through the provision of liquidity facilities and subordinated loans to enhance their resilience and mitigate the negative economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, the Fund's funding approach is designed to tie the provision of credit to the maintenance of lending to MSMEs. Thus, the Fund will support both the financial and real sectors in coping with the Covid 19 consequences.

Natural Disaster Fund (Global Parametrics) II. Under the German G7 Presidency, the G7 InsuResilience Initiative was launched in 2015. Its goal is to provide additional access to solutions and insurance to climate risks for around 400 million poor people in developing countries by 2020. Since 2017, it has been part of the G20 InsuResilience Global Partnership for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance Solutions. In the process, the beneficiary target was expanded to 500 million by 2025. The Natural Disaster Fund (NDF) is one of the measures initiated under it. Œ ŒSo far, there are only few opportunities in developing countries to transfer the financial risks resulting from natural disasters especially for the target group. This lack of risk transfer means that those affected have no financial security after natural disasters and their poverty situation is thus perpetuated for years to come. Necessary social emergency and reconstruction measures remain underfunded, which sustainably reduces economic growth and productivity and increases the risk of conflict. Œ ŒThe NDF addresses this chronic and growing problem by providing customized insurance coverage in developing countries - building on scientific weather models, actuarial methods, and risk transfer tools. Through NDF, Global Parametrics (GP) covers the entire value chain from risk modeling to structuring to underwriting. In doing so, it seeks to partner closely with its private sector clients to develop holistic, multi-year Financial Disaster Risk Management (FDRM) approaches that go beyond insurance coverage. As a pioneer of this type of coverage and its risk transfers, the NDF will ideally also serve as a role model to inspire other risk takers and additional imitators. Also, with its own limited risk bearing capacity, the NDF will work with reinsurers and other capital market participants to mobilize private investors to hedge climate risks in developing countries.

Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF) - Covid-19-Response. Microfinance Enhancement Facility (MEF), Luxembourg, was launched in 2009 by KfW and IFC (International Finance Corporation) as a joint initiative with OeEB (Austrian Development Bank). ŒMicro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries, hardly receive loans from commercial banks. This in turn makes it difficult for private households to access financial services (e.g. loans and savings products). ŒThe overarching development policy objective of the measure is to promote economic development and prosperity worldwide. This is achieved by providing short- and medium-term financing to financial institutions that support microfinance institutions (MFIs) and microenterprises that have difficulty obtaining financing. In doing so, the fund follows the principles of sustainability and connective development along with market orientation. ŒMEF is advised by four leading private investment advisors (BlueOrchard Finance AG, Incofin Investment Management, responsability Investments AG and Symbiotics SA). Their goal is to ensure that microfinance continues to drive growth, create jobs and reduce poverty in emerging markets. ŒBy restructuring the MEF as part of "MEF 2025", it is intended to adjust the investment policy and focus the MEF on the topic of "gender financing". In this context, the governance of the fund will also be adapted.

Global Health Investment Fund (GHIF) - Next Generation. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), mortality and disease rates remain very high, amid poverty-related infectious diseases and increasingly chronic diseases, malnutrition, and inadequate maternal-child health. Due to the orientation of commercial research and development towards the needs of the US and European markets, the availability of effective and adequate health products and technologies (HPT) is limited due to the lack or insufficient financial incentives for private sector research and development. The aim of the project is to increase the availability of new and cheap HPTs in LMICs to combat poverty-related diseases. The main measure of the project is the provision of a grant to the Global Health Investment Corporation (GHIC) for the implementation of the Catalytic Health Investment Platform (CHIP) in the amount of USD 15.5 million equivalent for the Confederation. As part of the platform, the GHIC uses the paid-in capital to design financing solutions to impact investment funds, companies and other organisations in the areas of global health and global health security (first use). Œ ŒThe project will directly contribute to Impact Investment Funds for Global Health (Target Funds) to be selected and to other companies and organisations that are expected to attract further investors with the help of an anchor investment from the platform (from grant to equity solutions) or are enabled to develop HPT and make it available in LMIC by providing support measures. As a result, the project also has an indirect impact on populations in LMICs, including vulnerable groups such as women and children, as well as on industrial partners such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the health sector, whose products can also be used and financed for LMICs.  The aim of the project is to contribute to improving health and well-being (SDG 3), in particular for vulnerable population in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To this end, the development, local accreditation and improved and affordable availability of innovative health products and technologies in LMIC are financed through SMEs directly by investments of either the project executing agency GHIC and Global Health Impact Investments Funds (SDG 5, 9 and 10).

Blue Action Fund (BAF) - 5th Phase. The programme serves to intensify coastal and marine protection in partner countries of German Development Cooperation. The FC financial contributions to the Blue Action Fund (BAF) are to promote the conservation of networks of globally important coastal and marine protected areas (FC programme objective). The BAF foundation established for this purpose will provide co-financing to enable international NGOs to improve the management of globally important marine and coastal protected areas and their buffer zones in cooperation with relevant institutions (module objective). The programme executing agency is the BAF. The programme area is located in selected regions of Africa, Asia/Pacific and Latin America/Caribbean and includes ecologically particularly valuable coastal and marine areas. The direct target group of the supported NGO projects consists of the population of the marine and coastal areas worthy of protection. ŒThrough initial financing contributions (BMZ No. 2016.9751.5) totaling EUR 24 million (1st phase: EUR 15 million, 2nd phase: EUR 9 million), a sinking fund of EUR 22 million was established for the BAF in 2016, with EUR 2 million disbursed into the BAF's endowment capital, which is to be maintained permanently. For a third phase (BMZ No. 2017 97521), an additional EUR 20 million was provided for the BAF reserve in 2017, for a fourth phase (BMZ No. 2018 34043), an additional EUR 11.1 Million in 2018, and for a fifth phase in 2020, an additional EUR 12 million (BMZ No. 2020 48726). The Swedish government has provided a total of EUR 16.4 million (SK 136 million) 2017-2021, and the French AFD EUR 10 million in 2018-2021. Norway plans to join the BAF from 2022 on.

Foundation Alliance for Development and Climate. The climate targets of the Paris Agreement and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 can only be reached, if - on top of public funding - also substantial private funding can be mobilized. In order to support this mobilization, the Foundation Alliance for Development and Climate was founded according to German law in September 2020. The activities of the Foundation are based on the voluntary market for carbon certificates. Via these certificates, private entities finance climate projects in developing countries and emerging economies, which at the same time support economic development, improvement of livelihoods and nature conservation. In return, the financiers receive CO2-certificates which quantify their contribution to climate protection by emissions avoided or sequestration of greenhouse gases. The foundation supports the further development of this approach via public information, technical advice, participation in the national and international climate dialogue, and research and support to the development of innovative project types. Apart from the development impact, the Foundation puts special emphasis on the high and secure quality of the certificates, including compliance with strict social and environmental standards. At present (June 2021), the Foundation cooperates already with more than 1,000 supporters from business, public administrations and civil society.

Strengthening quality infrastructure for  energy efficiency. Sustainable energy supply and increased energy efficiency in household appliances and industry are important policy issues in Ecuador. To date, services for compliance with energy efficiency requirements have not been sufficiently available. This is where the project comes in, contributing to more effective market monitoring in the interest of consumers and raising awareness of this issue in politics and among the public. The aim is to strengthen the quality infrastructure for the demand for services in the field of energy efficiency in Ecuador.
Essential measures to achieve the goal are divided into four main areas of action: the development of technical competencies for conformity assessment, the promotion of the national metrology institute in the topics of temperature, humidity and photometry, the increased exchange within the institutions of the national quality infrastructure on two selected products (refrigerators, light bulbs) and the sensitization of external actors in politics and society. 
Partners of the project are the Ecuadorian Ministry of Production MPCEIP, the National Institute for Standardization (INEN) and the Ecuadorian Accreditation Service (SAE). In addition, the project collaborates with private laboratories and companies, as well as with the Ministry of Energy. The location of these institutions is Quito, so the work of the project is concentrated in the capital, but companies in other parts of the country also participate in the activities.  The national system of quality infrastructure promotes the use of energy efficient electrical products both from national production and importation.

Extension of the Univeristy of Namibia (UNAM) - Ongwediva Campus II. The lack of qualified engineers is a major obstacle to the development of Namibia's transport sector and infrastructure. The construction of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on the new Campus José Eduardo dos Santos of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FoE) of the University of Namibia (UNAM) in Ongwediva represents a significant expansion of the capacity for training engineers urgently needed. The target group for the project are secondary school graduates, especially from Northern Namibia and from neighbouring SADC countries as well as the teaching staff of the engineering faculty. The new department is primarily intended to train engineers for the transport sector, but it is also hoped to improve the learning conditions at the University in general. Œ ŒThe condition of the general infrastructure of the Campus is still inadequate. In order to improve the conditions for the students, the Project supports the construction of social infrastructure on Campus (student hall and Cafeteria) with EUR 5.0 Million. The total cost of the Project amounts to EUR 5.7 Mio. Œ ŒThe project will thus make a major contribution to supplying Namibia with urgently needed civil engineers, strengthen the performance of Namibian partner institutions and generally promote the country's economic and social development. Furthermore, the project will help reduce regional disparities within Namibian between the central Windhoek region and the Northern regions of the country, while promoting integration in the SADC Region.

GET FIT Program Namibia. As one of the first utility- scale storage projects in Southern Africa, GET FiT BESS can be described as a flagship project. It will provide one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in the region (58 MW / 75 MWh). BESS will take on three major tasks that are related to the challenges identified from an RE expansion perspective: Œ Œ1) Surplus electricity from RE generation, as well as cheaper electricity imports from the SAPP, can be stored in the BESS which can then be used to supply customers with energy during peak times. This will reduce coal based electricity imports and substitute RE for fossil energy from the aging Van Eck coal power plant. Œ2) The electricity grid in Namibia will be stabilized as short and medium term power fluctuations from RE generation can be absorbed by the storage system. Given the planned growth of RE, this will ensure a stable power supply in the long term and create good production conditions for future growth and economic development. Œ3) The battery storage facility enables Namibia to expand its participation in electricity trade within the 12 member states of the South African Power Pool (SAPP) in a more balanced way. If surplus generation from RE can be traded in the SAPP, a contribution can be made to regional climate protection. Œ ŒThe CO2 savings of the battery storage facility - up to 821.000 tons over the planned 19 years lifespan of the project - will be equivalent to the savings of a solar PV power plant with a capacity of up to 40 MW.

NDP 5 Support Programme Phase 3. The road network forms the backbone of the Namibian economy. There are only two and a half million inhabitants in an area three times the size of Germany. Due to the low population density, national markets are extremely dependent on transport. Network costs per capita are among the highest in the world. The sustainable financing of transport routes is a major challenge for the country due to this structural condition alone. The government often lacks the funds to adequately maintain the road network. ŒThe subsidised loan will be used to rehabilitate the approximately 30km section of the TR 7/1 road between Usakos and Karibib, which, at over 50 years old, is in urgent need of renewal and at the same time central to the achievement of the target under NDP 5. The section of road, which is important for national and regional traffic, is one of the most accident-prone in Namibia due to its high traffic volume and the lack of overtaking facilities. Currently, 91 accidents occur per year on this section. In addition to rehabilitating the current lanes, it is planned to add an overtaking lane in sections. This should allow smaller vehicles in particular to overtake slower trucks safely. To ensure safety, especially for the residents of the villages of Usakos and Karibib, roundabouts and speed bumps will be integrated at the village entrances. In addition, some 80 flood culverts and three bridges will be widened to better prevent flooding along the route. ŒAs in the previous phases, the contractor will also work with Namibian smaller construction companies. It is envisaged that the Namibian contractors to implement at least 25% of the total contract value.  The road network forms the backbone of the Namibian economy.

Securing Windhoek Water Supply - Water reclamation plant Gammams DPR. The project is to finance the construction of another so-called Direct Potable Reclamation (DPR 2) plant in Windhoek. This technological term refers to a plant that treats treated wastewater to drinking water quality, which is then fed back into the city's drinking water cycle. Since the 1960s, Namibia has been a global pioneer in the use of this sophisticated technology, which already ensures up to 25% of Windhoek's drinking water supply. With the construction of a second DPR plant, this share can be increased to up to 50% and the resilience of the rapidly growing capital against water shortages and droughts can be strengthened. Œ ŒAgainst the background of the limited capacities of the usable surface drinking water sources and the population growth of Windhoek, there is a high need for investment in the water infrastructure. The project contributes to improving access to drinking water for the urban population and businesses, taking into account the impacts of climate change (extreme weather events, persistent droughts, reduced rainfall, etc.). It thus makes a direct and immediate contribution to Namibia's adaptation to climate change and to resource conservation. In addition, the DPR II project contributes to the achievement of the Namibian Government's Vision 2030. Œ ŒKfW is granting the Namibian Ministry of Finance a low-interest loan in local currency to finance the first expansion phase of the project. The project executing agency is the national water authority Namibia Water Corporation. Œ ŒThe successful implementation of DPR 2 goes hand in hand with substantial reconstruction and connection measures at the Gammams and Otjomuise wastewater treatment plants in Windhoek. These measures, which are necessary for the operation of DPR 2, are to be implemented in parallel.

Support to Nepal in the field of quality infrastructure. The key points of the programme were defined in a sector review of economic cooperation with Nepal conducted by the German Evaluation Institute in the first half of 2017. According to this, the programme is to concentrate on improving the framework conditions for private sector development with a focus on the current priority region - provinces in western Nepal. 
Regardless of how the further procedure is defined, quality infrastructure is an essential and relevant component in the envisaged programme context. On the one hand, the strengthening of quality assurance institutions will create an improved range of economically relevant measurement and testing services. This can be used by companies - successively also at regional level - to improve their product quality and thus strengthen their competitiveness. In addition, the transfer of international standards and good practices in quality management facilitates access to regional and international markets. With the appropriate integration of upstream cultivation and processing enterprises, the entire value chain benefits, which contributes to the development of sustainable economic structures.  Nepali economic actors use services of quality assurance in the regional and technical focal areas of bilateral development cooperation.

Sustainable Economic Development in Rural and Semi-Urban Areas - MSME Finance Phase II. The objective of the FC-module is the sustainable provision and use of a target-group oriented loan portfolio for predominantly rural and semi-urban micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) for their business investments (working capital and fixed capital investments). By better tailoring the financing offer to the needs of rural and semi-urban MSMEs, the FC-module contributes to the overall goal of improving the entrepreneurial ecosystem for sustainable and socially balanced economic development in Nepal. In the context of the covid-crisis, the FC-module shall further provide access to short-term bridge loans in order to support MSME's liquidity. Œ ŒThe indirect target group are predominantly rural and semi-urban MSMEs (incl. cooperatives and single entrepreneurs), which will benefit from improved access to a needs-based loan offer thanks to the additional refinancing and the MSME-tailored products. The direct target group are two selected banks - the commercial bank Siddhartha Bank Limited (SBL) and the development bank Muktinath Bikas Bank Limited (MNBBL) - which provide financial services to MSMEs and whose capacities and activities in the area of rural and semi-urban MSME finance will be strengthened. Œ ŒThe total cost of the FC-module is EUR 14.5 million, of which in total EUR 7.0 million will be financed by a FC-grant: EUR 6.0 million FC-grant will be provided in form of a long-term loan for the refinancing of the MSME loan portfolio of the two partner financial institutions (PFIs) and EUR 1.0 million FC-grant will be provided for an Accompanying Measure. EUR 7.5 million will be provided as an own contribution by the PFIs to leverage the FC-funds for the refinancing line. Under the Accompanying Measure, the capacities and know-how of the PFIs (incl. crisis management) as well as of the MSMEs (particularly financial literacy) shall be strengthened. Moreover, the central bank Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) shall be supported in the set-up and administration of a revolving fund for MSME Finance.  The objective of the FC-module is the sustainable provision and use of a target-group oriented loan portfolio for predominantly rural and semi-urban micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) for their business investments (working capital and fixed capital investments).

UNRWA Stabilisation and Basic Services in the Context of the Corona Crisis. The Israeli-Arab wars since 1948 have caused significant displacement of Palestinians. Around 2.5 million people living in the Palestinian territories are refugees, around a third of them live in refugee camps. In Jordan, around 2.4 million people are registered as refugees with UNRWA. In the Palestinian Territories, the Israeli occupation and repeated escalations of violence continue to significantly impacting access to medical care and education for Palestinian refugees. Particularly in the Gaza Strip, persistent restrictions on the movement of goods and people, regular power outages and lack of resources have a severe impact on the availability, accessibility and quality of health services. The spread of the coronavirus since the beginning of 2020 further increased demands on the already overstretched public health system. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is to maintain access to basic medical care and primary education for Palestine refugees in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jordan, who are affected by multidimensional poverty, during and after the corona pandemic. This will contribute to strengthening the resilience of Palestine refugees, whose precarious socio-economic conditions have further eroded due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to reducing the potential for conflict that arises due to high levels of poverty among the refugee population and the pressures on resources and services within the camps. Œ ŒFunding for medical professionals in UNRWA health centers and teaching staff in UNRWA schools is expected to indirectly benefit refugees in Gaza and the West Bank.

The overall objective of the programme is to visibly improve the living conditions of the population affected by the ongoing crises in and around Palestinian refugee camps in the Middle East. The project is intended to contribute to securing peace and stability in the region. The programme objective is to improve access to and demand-oriented provision of social and economic infrastructure for the population in and around Palestinian refugee camps. ŒThe project (REPAC IX) is designed as an open programme. Individual measures are identified during implementation through the participatory involvement of the residents of the Palestinian refugee camps and can be expanded immediately if further funds become available. It builds on the activities of the previous projects and will essentially comprise two project components: Project Component A includes social and economic infrastructure measures designed and implemented through a participatory approach (Camp Improvement Plan) in selected UNRWA refugee camps. Project Component B includes investment measures in social and economic infrastructure that can be implemented by UNRWA without a participatory process, provided they serve to meet the immediate basic needs of affected Palestinian refugees. In addition to infrastructure, Component B temporary comprises the provision of subsidies for the household income of poor refugees. The funds of the fifth phase of the ex-ante evaluation presented here, amounting to EUR 13 million (REPAC IX), are to be used for measures under Component A in the Deir El Balah and Khan Younis refugee camps in the Gaza Strip.

Rural Infrastructure Programme VIII - Rural Infrastructure Development for Cambodia (RID4CAM). The Rural Infrastructure Development for Cambodia (RID4CAM) Program is implemented by the Cambodian Ministry for Rural Development and aims to improve the living conditions of the rural population in the project regions and to strengthen their climate resilience. The project focuses on improving year-round access to markets, schools, health centres and public administration. The increasing adverse effects of climate change such as storms and heavy rainfall in recent years are taken into account by paying special attention to adaptation to climate change. As a follow-up project to the Rural Infrastructure Programme (RIP), RID4CAM contributes to economic and social development of the rural population and promotes poverty reduction. KfW provides a concessional loan of EUR 30 million with the support of BMZ and the French Agence française de développement (AFD) contributes EUR 50 million under the Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI). In addition, the German government contributes EUR 7.1 million grant funds from the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) while EU makes available EUR 8.8 million grant funds from the EU-Asian Investment Fund (AIF). The major part of the RID4CAM investments will be in rural roads, with loan financing to be used primarily for strategically important bituminised roads (approx. 550 km) and the BMZ grant to be used for supplementary laterite or gravel roads. The selection of the road sections will be coordinated with the AFD-financed project "Water Resources Management and Agro-ecological Transition for Cambodia " (WAT4CAM). The roads financed under the new programme in the vicinity of WAT4CAM irrigation systems provide rural producers with time- and cost-efficient access to inputs and sales markets. Overall, the two projects in combination with other development initiatives in the region (e.g. GIZ projects) form an integrated approach to the development of larger agricultural areas. The EU contribution finances multisectoral municipal infrastructure (e.g. small water supply systems, smaller access roads to fields, warehouses and dry areas) for the communities along the project roads as well as accompanying capacity building for operation and maintenance of the infrastructure in the project communities and at the Project Executing Agency.

Nutrition Program II. The Financial Cooperation measure contributes to improving the nutritional status of Cambodia through participation in the World Bank's "Cambodia Nutrition Project". In addition to Germany, Australia, the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF) and the World Bank are co-financiers. The aim of the program is to help improve the nutritional status of mothers and children and, in particular, to reduce chronic malnutrition. On the supply side (health service providers), among other things, the provision of nutrition-specific (health) services is promoted, integrated into the health services provided by public institutions. On the demand side, promotional and awareness-raising activities in particular are supported in order to bring about changes in behavior. The target groups of the nationwide program are primarily children under two years of age and mothers or women of reproductive age. Since malnutrition affects poor and vulnerable groups disproportionately, these population groups are explicitly promoted. The project starts at national and sub-national level. The part aimed at municipalities and health facilities, which is initially regionally focused, is to be increasingly expanded geographically, depending on the available funding volume. The carrier of the program is the Cambodian government, represented by the Ministry of Health.

Access to Clean Energy. The FC-measure comprises the provision of a credit line to the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) to promote access to climate-friendly energy services. The objective of the FC-measure is the provision and use of climate-friendly and modern energy services, particularly in rural India, through improved access to credits for private energy service providers. In this way, the FC-measure contributes to the DC-programme objective of making a contribution to a broad-based, technically and economically efficient and socially and ecologically sustainable energy supply. ŒThe target group of the FC-measure includes the population and Business areas in India, which have little access to a modern energy supply. ŒThis pilot project is intended to promote investments with total costs of up to EUR 28 million. A low-interest loan of up to EUR 20 million is to be provided to finance the measures. Furthermore, an additional grant component of up to EUR 4 million will partly cushion the credit risks and partly be provided as subsidies linked to milestones. An accompanying measure of EUR 1 million is planned.

Strengthening quality infrastructure for the solar industry. The sustainable development of high-quality, safe and efficient photovoltaic systems and products as well as their components require internationally recognized and need-based services of national QI (metrology, accreditation, standardization, conformity assessment). Currently, such services are not sufficiently provided and efficiently used in India. There is also a lack of quality control mechanisms. Consequently, the potential of solar energy can only be insufficiently exploited and used for India's socio-economic development. To tackle this problem, three outputs have been defined: The range of services offered by selected metrology and test laboratories has improved  new or improved criteria have been defined for selected quality control mechanisms  the knowledge of stakeholders in the solar energy sector about the relevance of quality infrastructure services and the importance of quality assurance procedures has increased. The module has been designed as a multi-level approach. The focus is on the meso level, i.e. the strengthening of institutional competences of the QI organizations, including the responsible executing agencies of essential quality control mechanisms. National and international short-term experts and – to a limited extent – material funds can be used as instruments.  Quality infrastructure services required for assuring the quality and reliability of photovoltaic systems have been improved by taking into account the needs of the so-lar energy sector.

Climate-Resilient Reconstruction after Flooding in Kerala (Loan). The southern Indian state of Kerala, located on the Malabar coast, is one of the most densely populated regions in India. Unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season caused severe flooding in Kerala in August 2018, which the Kerala government described as the most severe in 100 years. An estimated 5.4 million people, 1/6 of Kerala's population, were affected by the impact of this monsoon. In addition to direct loss of life, flooding and numerous landslides caused widespread damage to buildings and road infrastructure, which are vital to the economy and society. A joint World Bank and ADB (Asian Development Bank) needs assessment conducted on behalf of the Government of Kerala In September 2018, the total cost of rebuilding Kerala is estimated at USD 3.56 billion. The largest funding requirement for reconstruction is for infrastructure in the transport sector, at USD 1.2 billion. ŒIn the future, climate-resilient elements such as road drainage, slope protection and elevation of roads are to be included in the rehabilitation of roads and bridges so that future monsoon rains, which will occur more frequently as a result of climate change, do not lead to comparable damage to the road infrastructure. For this purpose, KfW is providing an FC development loan (low-interest loan) in the amount of EUR 90 million as a credit line to the Public Works Department Kerala, which is to be implemented by the Kerala State Transport Program. An Accompanying Measures in the amount of EUR 3 millionwill provide additional support to the Kerala State Transport Program in climate/disaster resilient planning. The FC development loan thus supports the Government of Kerala's goal of a green, sustainable and resilient Kerala and also contributes to SDG 9 - Resilient infrastructure and sustainable industrialization, as well as SDG 13 - Take immediate action to address climate change and its impacts. Œ ŒThe project "Climate-Resilient Reconstruction after Floods in Kerala" is followed by a second phase, which also focuses on financing the climate-resilient reconstruction of road infrastructure in the Indian state of Kerala.

Financing Facilities for Urban Development I. The aim of the project is to provide sustainable financial services for urban infrastructure investments in order to strengthen the climate resilience of the municipalities, improve the living conditions of urban population and enhance the capacities of the ULBs so that they can plan, manage and operate sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure. The project provides loans to selected municipalities (Urban Local Bodies - "ULBs") to provide climate-adapted and sustainable urban infrastructure projects. Mainly climate-resilient infrastructure projects in the areas of water supply and sanitation are to be financed. Other possible areas are also: solid waste management, storm water management, energy efficient street lighting and rehabilitation of water bodies. The main aim is to support the Indian government's AMRUT 2.0 program. Furthermore, projects can also be co-financed as part of other initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 or Smart Cities Mission, since many ULBs lack a sufficient financial basis to independently implement sustainable infrastructure investments. This enables the ULBs to perform their growing tasks in the provision of municipal services due to advancing urbanization and to further develop the urban infrastructure in a climate-resilient manner.

Sustainable urban development (water / waste water). India is undergoing a rapid process of urbanization. Urban planning and the expansion of infrastructure can hardly keep pace with this dynamic and rapid growth of cities. Urban densification and expansion are particularly challenging for the state of Uttarakhand. Providing water supply, stormwater management and sanitation, as well as other urban infrastructure for its cities, most of which grow into the surrounding mountains, is particularly technically challenging and expensive. ŒThe measures to be financed under this programme are assigned to the two individual measures "Environmentally friendly Urban Development Phase II" (EM 1) and "Integrated Urban Infrastructure Development in Rishikesh" (EM 2). The objective of the programme is to provide the population of the cities of Haridwar and Rishkesh with a qualitatively and quantitatively improved supply of environmentally friendly infrastructure, in particular wastewater disposal, water supply, rainwater management and sustainable mobility. ŒKey measures to achieve the objectives under EM 1 are the construction of new sewers including pumping stations and the construction of a wastewater treatment plant. In addition, adapted solutions for wastewater disposal in slums are to be financed. The measures to be financed under EM 2 have yet to be finalized. The focus will be on water supply and sanitation as well as stormwater management and sustainable urban mobility. ŒThe project will be implemented in the Indian state of Uttarakhand in the two cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh.

Integrated Watershed Development for Rehabilitation of Degraded Soils and Climate Change Adaptation - Component II. The Indian rainfield areas have been affected by high erosion. This is partly due to, overgrazing and unsustainable agricultural management. The consequences of climate change and variability, such as droughts and heavy rainfalls, also contribute to the degradation of soils. Consequences of erosion are a significant reduction in soil fertility and reduction of water infiltration into the soil and thus decreasing groundwater renewal. This leads to loss of fertile topsoil, a decrease in agricultural productivity and endangerment of food security and livelihoods of the local populations. ŒThe aim of the FC project "Climate Change Adaptation and soil rehabilitation in watershed" is to strengthen the adaptability of farmers against climate change or variability by improving the natural resources soil and water and using them sustainably. ŒThe main target group is the rural population in particularly affected by erosion and climate vulnerable watersheds in 2 states. Project Executing Agency is the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The FC project is carried out in close coordination between the financial and the technical cooperation.

Energy Reform Programme India I. The proposed FC-measure is intended to support the Indian government DISCOM reform programme, specifically the Discom Reform Scheme announced in 2021 - a results based scheme. The Indian distribution companies ("Discoms") currently represent the weakest link in the Indian energy sector. With large regional differences, they most of them are in poor financial condition and suffer from significant operational and technical inefficiencies leading to technical and commercial losses, thus to an unreliable and inefficient energy distribution. This situation requires extensive investment measures, as well as measures to improve the technical and commercial management of the mainly state-owned DISCOMS. Furthermore, strengthening the performance of Indian DISCOMs is important for the integration of renewable energy in the country, as DISCOMs act as off-takers, distributors and sellers of the rapidly increasing solar power in India. The objective of the FC-module is to contribute to a more secure, stable, environmentally and climate-friendly power supply by investing in the grid infrastructure of the Discoms and promoting improved grid management. The module thus contributes to the implementation of the Indian government's DISCOMS Reform Scheme and to climate protection.

Programm Dezentralisierung und Kommunalentwicklung  FDC II - Programme Décentralisation et Développement communal II. Im Rahmen des FZ-Vorhabens "Kommunalentwicklungsfonds II" (Fonds de Développement Communal II, FDC II) werden den Städten und Gemeinden des Programmgebiets über zwei Fonds Mittel zur Finanzierung prioritärer, kommunaler Investitionen zur Verfügung gestellt. ŒDurch den nationalen Kommunalentwicklungsfonds FPDCT (Fonds Permanent pour le Développement des Collectivités Territoriales) erhalten alle Kommunen im Programmgebiet über jährliche Ziehungsrechte Investitionsmittel. Durch den bilateralen FZ-Kommunalinvestitionsfonds FICOD (Fonds d'Investissement pour les Collectivités Décentralisées) werden größere kommunale Investitionen im Programmgebiet finanziert. Darüber hinaus begleitet FICOD die Gemeinden bei der Auswahl und Durchführung aller (mit FICOD- oder FPDCT-Mitteln finanzierten) Einzelinvestitionen. Ferner wird der FPDCT als Organisation institutionell gestärkt und weiterentwickelt. Programmgebiet sind wie in den Vorgängerphasen die Regionen Süd-West, Ost sowie teilweise die Region Zentrum-Ost. Œ ŒDas Ziel des Neuvorhabens ist die Stärkung der Kommunalverwaltungen in Burkina Faso sowie die nachhaltige Bereitstellung kommunaler Infrastruktur zur verbesserten Erbringung öffentlicher Dienstleistungen und zur Förderung der lokalen Wirtschaft. Vor dem Hintergrund des Regierungsumsturzes Ende 2014 und der Ende 2015 bzw. im Mai 2016 erfolgten Parlaments- und Kommunalwahlen wird das Neuvorhaben einen Beitrag dazu leisten, den Gemeinden einerseits größtmögliche Kontinuität zu bieten, und das laufende Vorhaben weitgehend fortsetzen. Als Voraussetzung dafür werden neu gewählte Kommunalvertreter in ihren Aufgaben geschult. Andererseits sollen die Grundlagen geschaffen werden, den FPDCT mittelfristig als den in Burkina Faso maßgeblichen nationalen Transfermechanismus für Kommunalfinanzierung zu etablieren. ŒZielgruppe der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Bevölkerung im Programmgebiet (ca. 3,5 Millionen überwiegend arme und analphabetische Menschen) sowie die Vertreter von 15 städtischen und 71 ländlichen Kommunalverwaltungen. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens werden auf EUR 8,9 Mio. geschätzt. Der FZ-Anteil beträgt EUR 8,5 Mio., der voraussichtliche Eigenbeitrag des burkinischen Staates und der Gemeinden EUR 0,4 Mio.

Pour ce faire, les représentants municipaux nouvellement élus seront formés à leurs tâches. D'autre part, les bases doivent être jetées pour établir le FPDCT à moyen terme comme le principal mécanisme national de transfert pour le financement municipal au Burkina Faso.

Cash Transfers zur Ernährungssicherung in Burkina Faso  Cash Transfers for Food Security in Burkina Faso. Ziel des SI-SEWOH-Vorhabens "Cash Transfers zur Ernährungssicherung in Burkina Faso" ist es, die Ernährungssicherheit von Frauen und Kleinkindern in ländlichen Regionen Burkina Fasos zu verbessern und Mangelernährung zu reduzieren. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind schwangere Frauen und Kleinkinder unter 5 Jahren in der Provinz Ioba (Region Südwesten). Ein besonderer Fokus wird auf Kindern unter 2 Jahren liegen. Die Projektmaßnahmen umfassen regelmäßige, unkonditionierte Transferzahlungen (Cash Transfers) sowie ergänzenden (Sensibilisierungs-) Maßnahmen in Bereichen wie Ernährung, Gesundheit und Hygiene, wobei ein Fokus auf Säuglings-/Kleinkindernährung liegt. Um die Nachhaltigkeit der Transferzahlungen zu fördern, sollen die Frauen zusätzlich in geringerem Umfang beraten werden, wie sie einen Teil des Geldes erfolgreich in einkommensschaffende Aktivitäten (z.B. Viehzucht, Gemüseanbau, etc.) investieren können, um eine nachhaltige Einkommensquelle aufzubauen. Das Vorhaben wird als Parallelfinanzierung zu dem bestehenden Weltbank-finanzierten Grundsicherungsprogramm der burkinischen Regierung (Projet Filets Sociaux, PFS) umgesetzt werden, durch das bereits knapp 60.000 arme und vulnerable Haushalte in den Regionen Est, Centre-Est, Centre-Ouest und Nord von regelmäßigen Cash Transfers profitieren. Für die Umsetzung soll die bestehende Implementie-rungseinheit des PFS innerhalb des Ministeriums für Frauen, Nationale Solidarität, Familie und Humanitäre Hilfe (MFSNFAH) verantwortlich sein.

Core problem: ŒMany municipalities are hardly up to the challenge of the National Water Supply Programme (PN-AEPA), which has been in place since 2006. The expansion and operation of the WSV can hardly keep up with the constantly increasing demand for clean drinking water and the demand for good sanitation. At the national level, there is a lack of experience in managing complex reform processes. At the municipal level, insufficient financial, personnel, organisational and technical competences stand in the way of the development and sustainable operation of the supply infrastructure. Œ ŒModule Objective: ŒThis financial an technical cooperation project aims to provide simple water and sanitation (WV/SV) supply systems in public places and for households in small and medium-sized towns (2,000 to 20,000 inhabitants) in the southwest of Burkina Faso. Œ ŒKey outputs: ŒThe financial cooperation accompanying measures, which are carried out close to the investments and closely coordinated with the technical cooperation advisory measures, provide the target group with additional support in the immediate preparation of the project (formation of user groups).

Programm Dezentralisierung und Kommunalentwicklung  FDC I - Programme Décentralisation et développement communal. Das Ziel der FZ-Maßnahme ist die Stärkung der Kommunalverwaltungen in Burkina Faso und die nachhaltige Bereitstellung vorwiegend kommunaler Infrastruktur, die den Bedürfnissen der Bevölkerung gerecht wird und die lokale Wirtschaft stärkt. Die FZ-Maßnahme ist Teil des EZ-Programms "Dezentralisierung und Kommunalentwicklung" und leistet einen Beitrag zur Umset-zung der nationalen Dezentralisierungsstrategie CSMOD (Cadre Stratégique de Mise en oeuvre de la Décentralisation). Die FZ-Maßnahme soll stufenweise den Übergang von dem bilateralen Kommunalentwicklungsfonds FICOD (Fonds d'Investissement pour les Collectivités Décentralisées) zum nationalen Investitionsfonds für Gebietskörperschaften FPDCT (Fonds Permanent pour le Développement des Collectivités Territoriales) gestalten. Dazu soll zunächst die Zusammenarbeit mit dem FICOD fortgesetzt und gleichzeitig die Funktionsfähigkeit des FPDCT in einem Programmgebiet, das die Verwaltungsregionen Ost, Zentrum-Ost und Süd-West umfasst, über ein so genanntes regionales Finanzierungsfenster ausgeweitet werden. Die investiven Mittel sollen primär im Programmgebiet sowohl über FICOD als auch FPDCT in Infrastruktur umgesetzt werden, und zwar in erster Linie auf kommunaler Ebene. Zielgruppe des Vorhabens sind die Bevölkerung bzw. die Akteure in den Verwaltungen im Programmgebiet. Die Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens werden auf 16,9 Mio. EUR geschätzt. Der FZ-Anteil beläuft sich auf 16,5 Mio. EUR, der voraussichtliche Eigenbeitrag der Kommunen auf 0,4 Mio. EUR.  L'objectif du projet est de renforcer l'administration locale au Burkina Faso et de fournir durablement des infrastructures essentiellement municipales qui répondent aux besoins de la population et renforcent l'économie locale. Le projet s'inscrit dans le cadre du programme de coopération au développement "Décentralisation et développement municipal" et contribue à la mise en uvre de la stratégie nationale de décentralisation CSMOD (Cadre Stratégique de Mise en uvre de la Décentralisation). Le projet vise à faciliter progressivement le passage du Fonds d'Investissement pour les Collectivités Décentralisées (FICOD) au Fonds Permanent pour le Développement des Collectivités Territoriales (FPDCT). A cette fin, la coopération avec le FICOD doit être poursuivie et, dans le même temps, la capacité opérationnelle du FPDCT dans une zone de programme comprenant les régions administratives de l'Est, du Centre-Est et du Sud-Ouest doit être élargie au moyen d'un guichet de financement régional. Dans la zone du programme, les fonds d'investissement doivent être traduits en infrastructures à travers le FICOD et le FPDCT, principalement au niveau municipal. Le groupe cible du projet est la population et les acteurs des administrations de la zone du programme. Le coût total du projet est estimé à 16,9 millions d'euros. La part de la CF s'élève à 16,5 millions EUR et la contribution propre attendue des municipalités à 0,4 million EUR.

Insbesondere sollen dabei im madagassischen Kontext neuartige Finanzdienstleistungen angeboten werden, die diesen Bevölkerungsgruppen bislang nicht zugänglich waren. ABM wird die langfristige FZ-Finanzierung nutzen, um Betreibern von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) Wohnraumkredite und Kredite zur Finanzierung von Investitionen in erneuerbare Energien und Energieeffizienz (4E) anzubieten. Durch die Ausweitung des Produktangebotes der ABM (eine der zwei größten Mikrofinanzbanken des Landes) wird ein Beitrag zur zielgruppenorientierten Verbreiterung und Vertiefung des madagassischen Finanzsektors geleistet. Darüber hinaus sind Demonstrations- und Nachahmungseffekte auf andere Mikrofinanzbanken möglich. ŒDer ABM wird ein langfristiges FZ-Nachrangdarlehen ausgelegt. Die langfristige Refinanzierung ermöglicht der Bank, auch längerfristige Kredite auszureichen. Dies ist für die Finanzierung von Wohnraum und von größeren Investitionen besonders wichtig. Œ  The project to promote Accessbank Madagascar (ABM) contributes to improving access to needs-based financial services for economically active, low-income sections of the population in Madagascar. It aims to offer new types of financial services in the Madagascan context that have not been accessible to these groups. ABM will use long-term FC financing to offer housing loans and loans to finance investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency (4E) to operators of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Expanding the product offering of ABM (one of the two largest microfinance banks in the country) will contribute to the target group-oriented broadening and deepening of Madagascar's financial sector. In addition, demonstration and imitation effects on other microfinance banks are possible. ŒThe ABM is designed as a long-term FC subordinated loan.

Contribution to securing the drinking water supply of Damascus - protection of the Figeh spring system. The Figeh spring system rises in the middle Barada river valley and produces around two thirds of the water supply of the city of Damascus. In recent years, the population of the villages in the middle Barada river valley has continued to increase. The waste water is decentralized in the water-permeable subsoil (karstified limestone)  disposed of and have led to microbiological pollution of the Figeh springs during the low-rainfall season since 2006.  In order to ensure the water supply of Damascus / Syria, it is planned to carry out a geological-hydrogeological study in the catchment area of the Figeh spring system in order to clarify and localize the causes of the pollution of the groundwater. In this consideration, the verification of the amount of water that can be used sustainably from the aquifer will also play an important role.  The Figeh springs are sampled using special methods by external experts, on the one hand to determine the type and quantity of the components of the microbiological pollution and on the other hand to narrow down the origin of this pollution.  An attempt should be made to determine the amount of groundwater recharge and the residence time of the groundwater more precisely. This data is necessary to assess whether additional groundwater volumes can be extracted from the Figeh catchment in the future. High-resolution satellite imagery will be obtained and evaluated with the aim of (a) locating structures where polluted surface water seeps into the subsoil rapidly and unfiltered, thereby endangering groundwater quality, (b) mapping current land use and potential sources of pollution, and ( c) to determine the precise watershed boundaries of the Figeh Springs. Field work will complement this work and help to assess the hazard potential more precisely.  Practical and analytical basic data for the protection of the water resources of the Figeh spring system are established.

ZV &quot Assiut dam&quot . The project involves replacing the over 100-year-old Nile weir in Assiut with a new one. The basic function of the Assiut weir is to discharge Nile water into the approximately 350 km long Ibrahimia main canal, which supplies 690,000 hectares of agricultural land with irrigation water. The project serves to maintain this function and thus secures the livelihood of at least 5 million Egyptians, most of whom are low-income smallholder farming families. Œ ŒThe new construction of the weir will be used to integrate a hydropower plant into the dam body. By generating electricity from the renewable energy source of hydropower, the consumption of fossil fuels and environmentally harmful CO2 emissions will be avoided compared to generation in an alternative thermal power plant, thus contributing to global environmental protection. Œ ŒThe investments in property, plant and equipment include the construction of the new dam with hydropower plant, lock and road crossing as well as the repair of some ancillary facilities. The project also includes a package of environmental measures to avoid or reduce negative environmental effects and, where necessary, to compensate those affected. The implementation of this environmental program is supported by an FC complementary measure. Œ  (1) securing irrigation for an agricultural area of approx. 690,000 ha and (2) environmentally friendly electricity generation from a renewable energy source Œ

National Drainage Program III in the framework of the Joint Integrated Sector Approach for Irrigation (NDP III / JISA). Egypt, with its extremely low rainfall, is one of the most arid countries in the world. Its agriculture, which at 80% uses the majority of the fresh water available each year - almost all of it Nile water - for irrigation, suffers from water shortages. The already foreseeable negative effects of climate change, such as rising temperatures, higher evaporation rates and the salinization of coastal waters due to rising sea levels, will exacerbate the problem of water scarcity. With decreasing water availability per capita, increasing agricultural water productivity is the only practicable way to secure irrigated agriculture as a source of income for the predominantly poor (small) farmers. Œ ŒThe project is jointly financed by several donors and has two components. On the one hand, there is the intensification of the irrigation sector dialog between the Egyptian Ministry of Water and the participating donors with the aim of contributing to an increase in the coherence of sector reform planning and its implementation. The second component consists of financing necessary investments in the rehabilitation and expansion of the irrigation canal network, the nationwide drainage system and irrigation and drainage pumping stations Œ  Increasing agricultural yields by increasing soil fertility in the intervention area. This is to be achieved by lowering the groundwater table through more effective drainage. This should contribute to stabilizing and increasing the income of the target group, the small agricultural enterprises in the Nile Valley and Delta. Œ

The DC programme objective is to contribute to universal access to basic education and gender equality and to the establishment of a more efficient, decentralised system for the planning, maintenance and repair of school infrastructure. ŒThe aim of the project is to improve access to primary schools suitable for children and to sustainably improve the quality of the learning environment in selected districts of the Sharkia project area. The target group are school-age children in grades 1 to 6, their teachers, parents, the school management (especially school supervisory boards, boards of trustees) and the school administration at district and governorate level. In addition to infrastructure financing (rehabilitation and extension of school buildings, to a small extent also new construction of schools) from FC, the school administration in Sharkia is to be introduced to decentralised planning and maintenance of school infrastructure. Here the project ties in with the FC involvement in the Egyptian primary school sector to date. A complementary measure is to sensitise the school management, teachers, parents and pupils to topics such as sustainable use of the school building (maintenance, cleanliness) and participatory teaching and learning methods with the involvement of local non-governmental organisations (NGOs). In addition, schools should develop and implement ideas for income-generating measures. The project executing agency is the General Authority for Educational Buildings (for the investment component) and the Egyptian Ministry of Education (for the complementary measure). Œ ŒThe estimated total costs amount to EUR 11 million. An FC financing contribution of EUR 10 million (investment: EUR 8 million, complementary measure: EUR 2 million  grant) is planned.

Integrated program to promote resilience and strengthen social cohesion (UNICEF). As a result of the long-standing conflict situation and the ongoing economic crisis, a large part of the population in Sudan, and particularly in the Darfur region, faces acute obstacles in accessing basic services, especially in the areas of nutrition, health and education. The persistent fragile situation also makes the population particularly vulnerable to the aftermath of ongoing and renewed violent conflict, as well as natural disasters and similar external shocks. Many households lack the means to respond to such situations and to adapt and secure livelihoods accordingly. Moreover, conflict dynamics in Darfur have been further exacerbated in the past by the lack of inclusive, transparent, and accountable state structures and processes. This loss of trust has permanently damaged the society's social cohesion. ŒAs a result, key needs are to strengthen appropriate resilience mechanisms and measures to enhance social cohesion. The project therefore aims to strengthen the resilience and social cohesion of vulnerable population groups in North, Central and South Darfur by improving access to integrated basic services (especially education, health and food security) and promoting inclusive and participatory government processes. ŒThe project provides for demand-oriented measures from the intervention areas of food security, basic services, promotion of community-based structures and strengthening of social cohesion. In addition, knowledge generation and impact evaluation measures will be implemented. ŒOverall, the project is expected to benefit approximately 300,000 direct beneficiaries and approximately 2,400,000 indirect beneficiaries in the project regions of North, South and Central Darfur.

Integrated service provision for children and families in South Kordofan and Blue Nile States. The objective of Phase II remains to improve the provision of basic education, health and water/sanitation services to disadvantaged groups, especially children, and to promote community participation and engagement in the project region. The core problem of inadequate provision of basic infrastructure and services to the population persists due to ongoing armed conflict and neglect. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) will provide an additional €10,000,000 over two years to support a range of activities, including the rehabilitation of water supply systems in schools and health centres, the treatment of child malnutrition, the equipping of classrooms and the establishment of 'safe spaces' for children and young people. UNICEF's implementation structures and partner organisations, established during the first project phase, have fostered a relationship of trust with the local population. Building on this foundation, a new project component will be integrated in the second phase to promote local peace initiatives and social cohesion. The project will benefit up to 200,000 people in selected areas under the political control of the SPLM-N in the "Two Areas" states of Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile, two of Sudan's historically most marginalised and conflict-ridden regions.

Maternal and Child Cash Transfers (1,000 days of life), Phase IV. The project offers pregnant women, nursing mothers and their babies a safety net during pregnancy and the first years of a child's life. ŒThe situation of vulnerable populations in Sudan, particularly women and young children, is extremely precarious. Access to basic health and nutrition services has deteriorated in the wake of a series of political upheavals over the past few years. Almost half of the population faces acute food insecurity and poverty. Œ ŒThe project provides regular, unconditional cash transfers to pregnant women and mothers of children under two years of age. The payments are made to local health centres, where they are able to attend mothers' groups, midwife appointments and awareness-raising sessions for themselves and their families. This provides relevant knowledge on pregnancy and infant nutrition, breastfeeding, or family planning, brings women into contact with each other, and introduces them to relevant pre- and postnatal health services. The combination of cash and knowledge is designed to support families at a critical time in their child's development. In addition, smaller investments will be made in the equipment and facilities of the health centres to improve the range of services offered. Œ ŒThe aim of the project is to provide pregnant women and children with improved social protection in the first 1000 days of life in order to mitigate the effects of different crises. Œ ŒThe project is implemented by UNICEF. The fourth phase will be funded with EUR 30 million. It is estimated to reach 17,000 women and their young children. Exact project locations will be selected during the inception phase according to defined criteria.  Social protection and improved nutrition for pregnant and lactating women and their children

Integrated education and child protection project in eastern Sudan. The follow-up phase of the Integrated Education and Child Protection project in Eastern Sudan has the same objective as the initial project - to improve access to integrated basic services such as education, WASH and child protection for the most vulnerable children and youth. In the project region, ongoing fighting has worsened the core issues of extreme poverty and inadequate provision of basic infrastructure and services. The resulting internal displacement has added to the burden of providing for internally displaced persons, especially in the areas of education, child protection, and water and sanitation, placing an additional strain on host communities. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) will provide 20.600.000 EUR over two years to support e-learning concepts, initial psychosocial care for children and young people, and the provision of drinking water and sanitation in 85 so-called 'Makannas'. The 'Makannas' project concept encompasses integrated interventions in schools and IDP camps. These measures are flexible and adaptable, making them particularly suitable for volatile and fragile contexts like Eastern Sudan. The project benefits up to 220,000 beneficiaries, including children, young people, and their families, in selected districts of Northern State and River Nile. The project region will remain in Eastern Sudan, but it will be expanded to include the regions in the north and north-east of the country hosting IDPs.

Promotion of vocational training (TVET) Phase V. Despite Rwanda's dynamic economic development, both youth unemployment (22.4%) and underemployment (55.7%) remain very prevalent, which was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These labor market problems partly stem from a lack of vocational education and training, as well as weak demand for vocational measures. Thus, the project on the one hand aims at strengthening the quality and availability of vocational training and, on the other hand, increasing its attractiveness while at the same time facilitating access. Phase IV and V of the project are being carried out together, with the overall support amounting to EUR 29 million. In addition, the measures are to be continued with a potential sum of EUR 30 million. The program builds on existing infrastructure investments at a total of 19 vocational schools. Similar to the previous phases, the goal of the project is to increase the number of graduates with employment-relevant skills with an additional focus on women. The project includes the following components: Œ1) Investment in infrastructure and equipment at Rwandan vocational and polytechnic schools (school buildings, boarding rooms and modern equipment). Œ2) TVET scholarship program (approx. 4000 learners from vulnerable population groups with good school performance) Œ3) Consulting services for the support of the project executing agency, support of the school management and teaching staff for an efficient and sustainable operation of the schools) ŒThe project executing agency is the non-commercial, public institution Rwanda Technical and Vocational Education and Training Board (RTB).

Support to Social Protection III. With Vision 2050, Rwanda aims to become a middle-income country by 2035 and a high-income country by 2050. To date, however, more than half of the population lives below the international poverty line of USD 1.90 a day. To fight poverty and realize Vision 2050, the Rwandan government is focusing on expanding social protection, which is being implemented through the Vision Umurenge Program (VUP), among other measures. ŒThe relevance of this measure has been further increased by the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine and the associated economic consequences compared to the audit situation. Price increases for food in Rwanda currently amount to about 20%, affecting the poor population in particular. ŒThe expansion of the social assistance programs (VUP) in their scope and performance is intended to reduce the short-term effects of the pandemic and inflation (by expanding the group of recipients) and to ensure a medium-term expansion of the programs (including an increase in contributions). ŒWithin the framework of sector budget financing (Policy Based Financing), the Rwandan budget is to be supported with EUR 15 million in the expansion of the VUP for vulnerable groups in need of social assistance in order to further reduce extreme poverty in Rwanda.

Integration of Watershed Development for Rehabilitation of Degraded Soils and Climate Change Adaptation in India. The Indian rainfield areas have been affected by high erosion. This is partly due to, overgrazing and unsustainable agricultural management. The consequences of climate change and variability, such as droughts and heavy rainfalls, also contribute to the degradation of soils. Consequences of erosion are a significant reduction in soil fertility and reduction of water infiltration into the soil and thus decreasing groundwater renewal. This leads to loss of fertile topsoil, a decrease in agricultural productivity and endangerment of food security and livelihoods of the local populations. ŒThe aim of the FC project "Climate Change Adaptation and soil rehabilitation in watershed" is to strengthen the adaptability of farmers against climate change or variability by improving the natural resources soil and water and using them sustainably. ŒThe main target group is the rural population in particularly affected by erosion and climate vulnerable watersheds in 5 states. Project Executing Agency is the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The FC project is carried out in close coordination between the financial and the technical cooperation.

Partnership for climate resilience in Uganda. The project contributes (EUR 18 million) to the multilateral Multi Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) of the Partnership for Support to the Implementation of Uganda's National Development Plans, managed by the World Bank (WB). Window 5 of the MDTF supports the implementation of the GoU's Investing in Forests and Protected Areas for Climate-Smart Development (IFPA-CD) project. The objective of the project is to improve sustainable management of forests and protected areas and to increase the benefits of forests to communities in the target landscapes (north to south-western Uganda). The sharp decline in forest cover in Uganda (50% over 30 years) is due to conversion of forests to agricultural and other land uses, as well as increasing demand for fuelwood. Commercial forestry in Uganda is not developed enough to sustainably meet demand and develop value chain (core problem). IFPA-CD comprises 4 components: 1) improving forest/protected area management  2) increasing income and employment from forests/protected areas  3) improving tree cover outside protected areas  4) project management. The key project implementation partner on the Ugandan side is the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE). Earmarking of donor contributions in the MDTF is not possible. However, soft preferencing for the German contribution has been agreed with the WB. Germany will support value creation in the wood processing industry through a matching-grant scheme and promote market linkage measures for the wood processing industry. Districts will be supported to develop mixed-use agroforestry systems on household land parcels as well as smaller commercially oriented woodlots to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Community forests outside protected areas are also supported.

This is to be achieved, among other things, through individual and group training courses and the integration of local leaders.

Defending land and fishing rights and ensuring food security in Uganda. Defending land and fishing rights and ensuring food security in Uganda  Despite good conditions for agriculture, food security is not given in the country. This is also expressed, for example, in a high rate of malnourished and undernourished people. The situation is exacerbated by violent land evictions. The human right to food and nutrition is disregarded in many places. Therefore, a rights-based approach is needed. By documenting human rights violations, the project aims to lobby at the national level in order to work towards legal compliance with the right to food.

Promotion of sustainable agriculture project in Masaka Diocese (SAMADI),. Promotion of sustainable agriculture project in Masaka Diocese (SAMADI),  Due to climate change, the situation of smallholder farmers is steadily deteriorating. Prolonged droughts, floods and unpredictable rainy seasons affect yields. In addition, there are other problems such as deforestation, decreasing arable land, land grabbing or unequal gender roles. The project executing agency responds to these challenges with a variety of training and other measures. Among other things, the living conditions are improved with the help of diversification of the cultivated products, new methods in livestock farming and new water management.

Integrated and gender-based promotion of organised smallholder families. Integrated and gender-based promotion of organised smallholder families  In the rural project region, most of the inhabitants practise subsistence farming. Due to various external and internal factors, the yields are decreasing visibly and thus the income is decreasing and food insecurity is increasing. In addition, there are social problems, such as patriarchal structures or a high level of violence within the families, as well as hygiene problems. The project executing agency is trying to counteract this with methods of sustainable agriculture, by improving sanitary facilities and strengthening family structures.

Regional Energy Efficiency Fund Western Balkans and Neighborhood Regions (GGF VII). To counteract climate change and support sustainable development in the target regions (Western Balkans, Eastern and Southern EU Neigbourhood Region), further environmentally friendly investments are needed. The supply for sustainable and effective financing of investments in energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energies (RE) is not sufficiently provided by local financial markets. Œ ŒThe objective of the project is first and foremost to sustainably build up and expand the supply of effective financing for investments in EE/RE in the target regions. Secondarily, the measure contributes to the reduction of energy consumption and/or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions among end-borrowers in the target region. Œ ŒThe project executing agency is the regional energy efficiency fund for the Western Balkans and European neighborhood regions, the Green for Growth Fund (GGF). The fund was established in December 2009 under the sponsorship of KfW and the EIB. The Fund contributes to the development of the EE and RE markets by supporting investments by MSMEs and households through the local financial sector as well as, increasingly, direct investments in RE project companies that achieve on average 20% energy savings and/or 20% CO2 emission reductions. The GGF is now active in 19 countries in the Western Balkans (+Turkey) and in the EU's Eastern and Southern Neighborhood region. Œ ŒBMZ and the EU are the largest donors to the GGF and hold a large share of the GGF's first-loss tranche in the form of C- and L-shares. Furthermore, significant contributions from FZR funds for accompanying measures have been paid into the Technical Assistance (TA) Facility.

European Fund For Southeast Europe (EFSE). Under the umbrella of the new strategic EFSE initiative , the European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE) intends to offer more local currency financing. The MSME's and private households' increasing need for financial products in local currency is mainly a result of negative experiences regarding recent local currency devaluations in some EFSE target countries (i.e. Ukraine or Azerbaijan) and their economic consequences for final borrowers. Up to now, especially long-term local currency financing for SME and private households is hardly available due to its high risk. Within the framework of the new project concept, a further share class (L Shares) was to be implemented in addition to the existing A, B and C Shares of the fund. These L Shares serve the provision and hedging of local currency financing, especially in the target countries of the Eastern European Partnership Region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus and Ukraine). The new EFSE project, funded by the BMZ, also supports and strengthens the mission of the fund to provide sustainable and long-term access to finance for undersupplied micro and small enterprises (MSE) as well as low-income households. The project is an important contribution to a stronger integration of the Eastern European Partnership Region. The new EFSE business strategy also encourages local government initiatives and the policies of the central banks in order to counteract the dollarization of the financial sector and to establish local currency financing in the near future. The BMZ contribution consists of funding for L-Shares (10,0 Mio. EUR).

Ländliche Infrastruktur II  Rural Infrastucture II. Die FZ-Maßnahme fördert die nachhaltige Anbindung isolierter ländlicher Gebiete in den Regionen Nord (Phase I) und Adamaoua (Phase II). Ziel der FZ-Maßnahmen ist es, die nachhaltige und ganzjährige Nutzung der ländlichen Wegeinfrastruktur zu verbessern und dadurch den ländlichen Haushalten eine Steigerung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion und die Verbesserung ihrer Einkommen zu ermöglichen. Œ ŒMit den vorgesehenen Investitionsmaßnahmen soll die ganzjährige Befahrbarkeit der Wege in der Projektregion verbessert werden. Es sind überwiegend Maßnahmen zur Beseitigung von Engpässen und Hindernissen z.B. an Fluss oder Sumpfquerungen auf den ländlichen Pisten vorgesehen, die langfristig die Anbindung landwirtschaftlicher Produktionsflächen an Märkte und den Zugang zu Betriebsmitteln zur Intensivierung der Agrarproduktion durch die Zielgruppe ermöglichen. Œ ŒHauptzielgruppe sind überwiegend als arm eingestufte landwirtschaftliche Haushalte, die größtenteils auf Subsistenzniveau wirtschaften. Darüber hinaus profitiert auch die übrige ländliche Bevölkerung von den Maßnahmen durch den verbesserten Zugang zu sozialer Infrastruktur. Ein Großteil der Zielgruppe lebt unterhalb der nationalen Armutsgrenze. Œ ŒDie Gesamtkosten des Vorhabens, das als offenes Programm durchgeführt werden soll, werden auf 32,5 Mio. EUR geschätzt. Zur Finanzierung einer ersten Programmphase in der Region Nord, steht ein FZ-Beitrag in Höhe von 10 Mio. EUR zur Verfügung.  L'objectif global de la Coopération Allemande dans le cadre du programme "Développement Rural" est de contribuer à l'amélioration de la situation économies de la population rurale. Le projet de la Coopération Financière a pour but de dynamiser les zones de production agricole du Nord et de l'Adamaoua en améliorant l'accès aux zones agricoles. Œ ŒPar les mesures d'investissement du projet, il est prévu d'éliminer les impasses sur les pistes rurales afin qu'elles soient praticables toute l'année et de relier les zones des productions avec les marchés.

Girls and women in Cameroon often have no or insufficient access to health services and medicines. This is particularly true in rural regions of Cameroon and among poor population groups, and is one of the reasons why Cameroon has one of the highest maternal and child mortality rates in the world. Reducing maternal and child mortality is a strategic goal of Cameroon&apos s health policy. German development cooperation supports this strategy. Through the follow-up phase of the &quot Private Sector Reproductive Health Project&quot  and the measures anchored therein for an increased use of qualitatively improved health services for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The target group is women of childbearing age (15-49 years), especially adolescents, but also their sexual partners and children. The project contributes to improving girls&apos  and women&apos s access to quality-assured SRHR products and services in four regions of Cameroon (Extrême-Nord, Nord, Adamaoua, Est). These are offered through a &quot social franchise&quot  network of private and public clinics. In the previous project, 372 clinics were included in the network, which receive subsidised medicines, staff training, supervision and basic equipment through the franchise model. In addition, the integration of local opinion leaders, information and sensitisation measures adapted to the socio-cultural context will be intensified in the follow-up phase, which is intended to permanently improve the acceptance and knowledge of family planning in the regions. The total cost of the project is around EUR 10 million. The partner contributes around EUR 0.7 million to the financing and around EUR 0.3 million is provided from sales proceeds.

Scenario development and modelling of soil and water resources under consideration of climate change in Cameroon. The impact of climate change on the natural resources of soil and water are already measurable in the project regions of Adamaoua and North in Cameroon.  In the project "Scenario Development and Modelling of Soil and Water Resources considering Climate Change in Cameroon", the Cameroonian partners should be enabled to develop scenarios and models independently, to be able to derive conclusions and measures for sustainable management of water and soil resources considering climate change. Therefore, the aim of the project is "Based on a participatory process, modelling concerning future changes in soil use and water management under consideration of climate change is available". Main measures to achieve the goal are the development of the scenarios in a participatory approach and the implementation of modelling by the partner. Implementing partners are the two research institutes for agriculture and development and geology and mining. The measures are focussed at the target group of the rural population, especially smallholders and pastoralists. The project is being implemented in Cameroon, with a focus on the Adamaoua and North regions.  Based on a participatory process, modelling of future changes in soil use and water management, taking into account climate change, is available.

Supporting female refugees and malnourished children from the CAF, NGA and CMR. According to UNHCR, Cameroon had received approximately 306,000 refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) and approximately 116,000 refugees from Nigeria as of September 2020. The situation in Cameroon is also exacerbated by the increasing number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), who, like refugees from CAR and Nigeria, have moved primarily to the four regions of Extreme North, North, Adamaoua, and East. In these regions, refugees make up between 20% and 30% of the total population. Œ ŒThe municipalities are barely able to respond to the increased needs of the predominantly poor population. In particular, there is a lack of food, access to clean drinking water and basic health care, especially for young women, pregnant women, mothers and their infants. The persistent malnutrition of many mothers can lead to physical and cognitive malformations in newborns. The reasons for malnutrition in many mothers are often due to the very short intervals between births, very young ages, and frequent unwanted pregnancies. These reasons are amplified in refugee situations, where women are also particularly vulnerable in the context of sexualized violence. Œ ŒThe overarching goal of the measure financed by the special initiative "Fighting the Causes of Flight - Reintegrating Refugees" is therefore to improve the health and nutritional situation of refugees and the host population, especially malnourished women and children under the age of 5, in the regions mentioned. This is to be achieved on the one hand by improving the nutritional situation and on the other hand by strengthening the role of women through improved opportunities for self-determined family planning.

Soil information for sustainable land use in Cameroon. With its technical expertise, the BGR supports the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development (Ministère de l'Economie, de la Planification et l‘Aménagement du Territoire (MINEPAT)), as well as the Institut de Recherche Agricole pour le Développement (IRAD), in the field of soil sciences and in the preparation of geoscientific data bases, primarily in the field of soil for sustainable spatial planning. It is planned to collect soil data and, if required, additional soil-relevant information at provincial and municipal level, and to make it available in a central information system at national level for the evaluation of soil properties and quality. An improved information situation thus represents an important prerequisite for strategy development with regard to adapted and sustainable soil management within the framework of land use planning and rural development.   The support takes place within the framework of the priority area "Rural Development" of the German-Cameroonian cooperation.  Rural development actors use soil information for sustainable land use in the North and Adamaoua (and South West) regions.

Private Sector Reproductive Health Project III. Girls and women in Cameroon often have no or insufficient access to healthcare services and medicines. This is particularly true in rural regions of Cameroon and among poor population groups and is one of the reasons why Cameroon is one of the countries with the highest maternal and child mortality rates worldwide. Reducing maternal and infant mortality is a strategic goal of Cameroon's health policy. This strategy is supported by German development cooperation. Through the follow-up phases II and III of the "Reproductive Health Private Sector Programme" and the measures anchored therein for an increased use of qualitatively improved health services for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The target group is women of childbearing age (15-49 years), particularly adolescents, but also their sexual partners and children. The programme contributes to improving access to quality-assured medical products and SRHR services for girls and women in four regions of Cameroon (Extrême-Nord, Nord, Adamaoua, Est). These are offered via a "social franchise" network of private and public clinics, which will be expanded from 372 clinics to 465 clinics in Phase III. The clinics are supplied with subsidised medicines, receive training and further education of the staff, supervision and basic equipment. The involvement of local opinion leaders and information and awareness-raising measures adapted to the socio-cultural context are intensified. Young girls (aged 10-14) are empowered in their sexual rights through menstrual hygiene education. In addition, measures are offered to strengthen resilience and provide initial support for victims of gender-based violence. Overall, these measures are intended to permanently improve acceptance and knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the regions.

Get Access Uganda - Support to minigrids. The persistently low electrification rate in peri-urban and especially remote rural regions of Uganda, combined with very low per capita use of electricity, represent a relevant development constraint for the economic and social area. The GET ACCESS project tackles this issue, by aiming to improve supply of climate-friendly, renewable energy to households, businesses, and social institutions in remote rural areas. It is part of the FC-programme 'Green transformation to support affordable, reliable, and climate-neutral access to energy in Uganda'. Key measures to achieve the goal include promoting the construction and operation of off-grid, solar minigrids in around 130 villages. Moreover, productive use of energy shall be promoted, while predominantly targeting women-led enterprises. Thus, the GET ACCESS scheme builds on the approach and experience of the 'Pro Minigrid' project piloted by GiZ. ŒThe project executing agency is the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development of Uganda. The intervention will be implemented as a PPP measure through a tender for subsidies to private project developers for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the minigrids. As project site the four clusters in Palorinya - Maaji, Kalangala-Wakiso, Buvuma East - Buvuma West and lake Albert have been selected. These regions show growth potential in fisheries and agriculture. The realization of these potentials is to be promoted in parallel through measures aimed at strengthening the productive use of energy. Local households, companies and public institutions are the project's direct target group. About 25.000 households are to be reached. ŒThe total cost of the project is approximately EUR 35.50 million, financed by contributions from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of the Federal Republic of Germany (EUR 15 million), the EU (EUR 10 million), the Ugandan Government (EUR 5 million) and contributions from private developers (EUR 5.25 million).

Promoting mother-tongue basic education for marginalised groups in Eastern India, India. Promoting mother-tongue basic education for marginalised groups in Eastern India, India  Promoting mother tongue or multilingual education in pre- and primary schools in rural India is an important component in reducing the high drop-out rate among marginalised children and giving them a better start for attending secondary schools. To this end, indigenous culture and language are to be maintained through the development and effective use of mother tongue-based multilingual teaching materials, and primary school teachers are trained in this pedagogy.

Decarbonising mobility, transport and the built environment and strengthening the climate agenda in educational institutions in India. Decarbonising mobility, transport and the built environment and strengthening the climate agenda in educational institutions in India  India's rapid urbanisation is leading to a massive expansion of infrastructure and built structures. Almost 44 percent of India's fast-growing carbon emissions are urban emissions from transport, industry, buildings.  Elements of pro-poor and climate-friendly urban and mobility planning are to be implemented.  Awareness-raising and capacity-building measures will be taken by various actors from politics, administration and civil society.  Target groups are governmental and non-governmental institutions, organisations at all levels.

Strengthening the leadership skills of nomads and other Adivasi groups to promote social change. Strengthening the leadership skills of nomads and other Adivasi groups to promote social change  The situation of the Adivasis is characterised by stigmatisation and lack of access to resources. The project helps to ensure that trained local leaders from indigenous groups support their communities in the process of sustainable development. The leaders build awareness among the people about their constitutional, social and economic entitlements and support their participation in democratic processes. Communities in Maharashtra are mobilised and networked to work together to address injustices and exclusions.

Sustainable improvement of the situation and prospects of young people in the target area. Sustainable improvement of the situation and prospects of young people in the target area  About 40 million people live in the target area, where adolescents and young adults make up about one third of the total population. About 32 percent of them belong to the ethnic groups of the so-called Adivasi and about 13 percent to the casteless. About 38 percent of women aged 15 to 24 were married before the age of 18. There is a lack of prospects for young people. Target groups are Adivasi and Dalit youth. Their living situation is to be improved by giving them direct access to awareness raising, education and livelihood.

Capacity building of indigenous children and youth in Northern India. Capacity building of indigenous children and youth in Northern India  There is rampant poverty in the target area, which leads to the unsafe migration of young people. The aim is therefore to offer children and young people better prospects in their villages. The protection of children and young people from abuse and exploitation is a priority. To this end, education is provided on the right to education, health and economic, social and cultural development, as well as income-generating measures. The target groups are children and young people from the Adivasi communities.

Promotion of women&apos s empowerment and regional cooperation in the target area. Promotion of women's empowerment and regional cooperation in the target area  In India's traditional society, women, especially Dalit and Adivasi, have a subordinate status in economic, social, political, educational, cultural and technological spheres. The negative effects of some customs as well as patriarchal mentality and behaviour affect the development of women immensely. Therefore, their living situation and that of their families should be improved. To this end, capacity strengthening measures are being implemented for diocesan development organisations and women's groups to promote gender justice.

Promotion of the poor and marginalised population groups in the target area. Promotion of the poor and marginalised population groups in the target area  In the last five years, the level of human rights violations in the target area has significantly deteriorated. Disadvantaged population groups and survivors of human rights violations in the target area shall therefore have direct access to constitutional rights. By supporting human rights centers for legal advice and legal assistance, especially for Dalit and Adivasi and human rights defenders, a greater convergence of the Indian constitution and constitutional reality in the project area shall be cautiously supported.

On the supply side, peripheral health facilities are to be rehabilitated and equipped with medical technology equipment. The construction of staff housing in remote areas will increase the attractiveness of the workplace for staff. On the demand side, health services for vulnerable groups (pregnant women and newborns) will be financed through a health voucher. This should contribute to an improvement in the health situation of the population living in Cameroon, especially in low-income rural regions.

Renewable Energy Power Plant / Storage. The project 'Power Plant Renewable Energy' is aimed at installing a solar park with the capacity of 125 MW in the state West Bengal in the North of India. Suffienty large surfaces for such systems are very scarce in this state that has a high population density. The system is being developed on a surface located close to the coast in the South of Kolkata, that has been used for obtaining salt during the past decades and that today is rather barren. The power that will be generated from the project will be provided to households and companies in the state of West Bengal. The system will utilise the high solar insolation at the site efficiently and not generate any greenhouse gas emmissions. Œ ŒKfW supports the partner organisation in preparing the project and has committed a reduced interest rate loan for the construction of the solar park. The preparation of the project is a complex task due to the fact that the conditions at site are quite challenging. A high level of salt in the ground and strong cyclone storms occuring in the region are a part of the envrionmental conditions that the solar park will have to endure over the lifetime of 25 years and that make this project rather unique. In order to make the system more resistant to strong winds the solar generator has been designed as East-West facing, a set-up that has so far not been adopted in India. The partner organisation, the regional electricity distribution company, is contributing the plot of land as well as the infrastructre for connecting the solar park with the grid. For this the partner organisation is constructing a high-voltage line with a length of over 20 km. This will allow to feed the generated energy into the grid with little losses. Œ ŒThe solar park will save emmissions of up to 163,000 t CO2-equivalent per year in comparison to conventional power plants that are common in India. In doing so the project can reduce the dependency of imported ressources and contribute towards avoiding climate-change.

Climate Change Adaptation in the Himalaya - Grant component II. Due to uncontrolled deforestation, lack of framework conditions and investments for sustainable and participatory forest management and climate-induced changes, Indian states in the North and Northeast are facing the challenge of halting the degradation of forest and watershed areas. As these ecosystems represent the most important livelihood of the rural population, measures for climate-adapted rehabilitation and protection of forests will be implemented in selected Indian states in the Himalayan catchment area. The main target group is the rural indigenous population in the selected Indian states in the Himalayan catchment area. The project executing agencies are the respective forest and environment administrations. Œ ŒThe objective of the programme is the rehabilitation, protection and sustainable, climate-resilient and community-based use of selected forest areas in at least three states in the north/northeast of India to sustain the livelihood of the local population. This is to improve the rehabilitation, protection and sustainable use of selected forest areas, their productivity and water resources, and to develop and strengthen the resilience of forests and vulnerable populations to climate change. The present grant component is to support the second phase of the first component of the FC programme in the state of Manipur.

Sustainable Urban Development - Smart Cities. The aim of the project is to provide sustainable financial services for urban infrastructure investments in order to strengthen the climate resilience of the municipalities, improve the living conditions of urban population and enhance the capacities of the ULBs so that they can plan, manage and operate sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure. The project provides loans to selected municipalities (Urban Local Bodies - "ULBs") to provide climate-adapted and sustainable urban infrastructure projects. Mainly climate-resilient infrastructure projects in the areas of water supply and sanitation are to be financed. Other possible areas are also: solid waste management, storm water management, energy efficient street lighting and rehabilitation of water bodies. The main aim is to support the Indian government's AMRUT 2.0 program. Furthermore, projects can also be co-financed as part of other initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 or Smart Cities Mission, since many ULBs lack a sufficient financial basis to independently implement sustainable infrastructure investments. This enables the ULBs to perform their growing tasks in the provision of municipal services due to advancing urbanization and to further develop the urban infrastructure in a climate-resilient manner.

Ger.-Ind. Solar Partnership II. As part of the Indo-German Solar Partnership initiated by the cabinet consultations in 2015, up to EUR 1 billion is to be made available over the next few years for the expansion of solar power utilization in India. This involves on the one hand i) the financing of PV systems on roof surfaces, with the primary focus on self-consumption of the electricity produced, and on the other ii) the promotion and financing of solar parks, land-neutral PV systems and their infrastructure. The latter would then also be related to the Indo-German partnership agreed for the so-called "Green Energy Corridors", under which transmission lines for connecting and feeding renewable energies into India's high-voltage grids are financed. As a third, complementary pillar, iii) the financing of decentralized micro grids to improve access to modern forms of energy is conceivable. Œ ŒThe objective of the FC measure is to support the restructuring of the energy supply in India towards greater use of solar energy (FC module objective), among other things through increased promotion of photovoltaics. In this way, the project contributes to a broad-based, technically and economically efficient as well as socially and ecologically sustainable energy supply (DC program objective). The target group of the project is not only investors in solar energy but also private and commercial electricity consumers who benefit from a secure as well as climate and environmentally friendly power generation. Œ ŒBorrowers and promoters of the Solar Partnership II are the Bank of Baroda (Component 1  EUR 100 million) and REC Ltd. (Component 2  EUR 150 million, under appraisal).

Climate-Friendly Urban Mobility III. In 2001, around 370 million people lived in major Indian cities  by 2030, this figure will have risen to 600 million. Most Indian cities are already today massively overburdened with this population growth. Traffic is chaotically organized. Air pollution and CO2 emissions are increasing dramatically. Œ ŒThe objective of the programme is therefore to increase the sustainable use of an inclusive, climate-friendly and energy-efficient public transport system in the selected programme locations. The programme thus contributes to reducing the negative climate and environmental impacts caused by urban transport. Œ ŒThe FC programme supports selected states and cities in developing energy-efficient and sustainable mobility solutions. When selecting the programme components, focus is placed on maximum impacts, feasibility and the integration of different modes of transport (rail, bus, motorised and non-motorised individual transport). FC investments are made in the following transport systems, among others: Bus Rapid Transit Systems, Light Rail Train / Metro, energy-efficient buses (including natural gas, electric and hybrid technologies), ferries, bicycle and pedestrian paths, park & ride facilities, intelligent traffic control systems and integrated ticketing. The investments can be flanked by accompanying measures for strengthening the Project-Executing Agencies. Œ ŒThe Project-Executing Agencies are public enterprises in the states where the respective programme component is implemented. The target group of the programme will be all users of public transport. Œ ŒThe pogramme fits into the BMZ's sector priority strategy for the environment sector and responds to a strong demand on the Indian side. It follows on from the predecessor programmes "Climate-friendly urban mobility I and II". Œ ŒUnder this programme, the component "Surat Metro" is financed.

Transport Network Development Investment Program - Tranche 3. Physical interventions under Tranche 3 include 178 km of reconstructed national road from Dar-i-Suf to Yakawlang linking the roads already completed under the ADB financed North South Corridor Project.  Completion of this national road provides an alternative north south transit route from Mazar-e-Sharif to Kabul from the currently overloaded Salang Tunnel, a facility which has exceeded its engineering design life and is in need of major rehabilitation if it is going to continue to function. Additionally, Tranche 3 will provide community infrastructure specifically designed to improve the lives of women and children in some of Afghanistan?s poorest provinces, Bamyan and Samangan, through betterment of sanitation facilities and practices.  

Water Resources Development Investment Program - Project 2. The proposed Lower Kokcha Irrigation Project (LKIP) will rehabilitate and improve the Shahrawan and Archi canals. Both canals suffer under both scour and sedimentation and water levels (Shahrawan canal) and capacity (Archi canal) are compromised if no works are undertaken. The Shahrawan intake, the approach channel and outflow channel have degraded significantly and are in danger of being washed away. Failure of water delivery would negatively impact around 46,000 ha of crops. The Shahrawan intake headworks will be rehabilitated and upgraded to fully discharge its design flow (60 m3/s) in a controlled manner into the Shahrawan canal. The Archi main canal will be rehabilitated and upgraded to its original design capacity of 36 m3/s (current flow rate is estimated at 30 m3/s). The flow capacity of the canal will continually degrade in the future in the absence of the project, further reducing the current area of crops of 23,041 ha (ie 85.3% crop intensity). The technology proposed is compatible with local conditions and comprises mostly unlined canals, with lined canals in areas of high flows. The project will strengthen water management institutions through creating irrigation and water users associations, and strengthening river basin and sub-basin authorities. To ensure sufficient operations and maintenance (O&M) the concept of an irrigation service fee will be introduced in Lower Kokcha Irrigation Scheme (LKIS), tied to equity and reliability of water supply and incremental benefits.  

Horticulture Value Chain Development Sector Project. The proposed project will help strengthen the horticulture value chain in Afghanistan by (i) improving the processing efficiency and marketing capacity of domestic agro-business enterprises (ABEs)  (ii) modernizing crop production through better planting material, trellising, modern greenhouses, and on-farm facilities  and (iii) contributing to the national effort in establishing internationally recognized brands of Afghan horticultural produce. It will increase value addition for horticultural commodities produced in 11 provinces in the central, southern, and eastern parts of Afghanistan. As such, the project will contribute to increasing the supply of fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, and expanding exports of high-value fruit, vegetables, and nuts in which the country has a comparative advantage.  

North-South Power Transmission Enhancement Project (formerly Power Distribution Project).

The PRF itself is tailored to ensure the high project readiness of these ensuing projects, and thereby facilitate the timely and cost-effective achievement of the expected project outcomes.  

Thailand Flooding 2011. Exceptionally heavy rains in August and September 2011 have caused Thailand?s worst flooding since 1942. As of 8 November 2011, the Thai Government has confirmed 527 deaths and an accumulation of 3.32 million households or 11.3 million people have been affected since 25 July 2011.  The Thai Ministry of Finance would like to avail the $3.0 million grant funds from the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) for emergency relief activities.  

Capital Market Development Program (CMDP). The Capital Market Development Program (CMDP) will support the government’s key reform priorities aimed at higher and sustainable investment growth and transformation to a higher income economy, sustained by an increased contribution of the domestic capital market. The reform priorities under the CMDP include efforts to enhance financial sector stability through better coordination between  regulatory oversight agencies and measures to enhance transparency. The CMDP aims to increase capital market efficiency and depth through strengthening the capital market infrastructure (demutualization of the stock exchange), promoting competition in the securities market, developing the domestic bond market, and financial product development. The CMDP also aims to expand the investor base and support Thailand’s efforts to integrate with regional capital markets.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Highway Expansion Phase 2 Project. The proposed project includes: (i) upgrading National Highway (NH) 22 and NH23 sections from their present single 2-lane carriageway to 4-lane carriageways with a median  and (ii) strengthening capacity in road safety management. The project road sections span about 142.422 kilometers (km) traversing the four provinces of Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Roi Et, and Yasothon of northeastern Thailand covering 10 districts, 29 sub-districts, and 64 villages. Road sections for expansion are 54.514 km for NH22 and 55.057 km for NH23. The works for road safety purpose under all civil works packages have a total length of 32.851 km, as a result of technical adjustments at the time of bid documents finalization and reflected in the contractors' contracts. They involve median works, and improvement of pavement within the existing right-of-way (ROW). Furthermore, three truck rest areas will be established to offer quality driving environment. To enhance the road safety features of the upgrading of the sections, the road design will be subjected to detailed road safety audits before construction commences, during construction, and before final acceptance of the completed roads. The project will also strengthen the government's capacity in road safety management through safety awareness training and hands-on experience in road safety audits.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The proposed program supports the government’s efforts to counter the impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). As of 18 June 2020, COVID-19 has infected 3,141 people and claimed 58 lives in Thailand. As a result, the government imposed a partial lockdown and travel bans in April and significantly increased health spending. However, while the health impact has been contained, the efforts to flatten the pandemic curve have steepened the recession curve.

With a large tourism sector, strong global supply chain links, and a large base of migrant workers, Thailand’s economy is highly vulnerable to the pandemic. Real gross domestic product (GDP) is forecasted to contract 6.7% in 2020, down from the pre-pandemic projection of 3%.2 An estimated 3.1 million workers are expected to lose their jobs, and 5.2 million people are expected to fall back into poverty. Given the country’s strong regional trade, investment, and labor links, an economic crisis in Thailand could induce large negative spillovers to neighboring countries, particularly Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar, and Viet Nam (CLMV).  

Chonburi Natural Gas Power Project. The project entails the construction and operation of a 2,500 megawatt natural gas power project in Chonburi province, Thailand.

The project will utilize natural gas and will be the first to employ a new high-efficiency technology that reduces pollutants and emissions, providing cleaner air quality and lower carbon footprint.  

PROVINCIAL SOLAR POWER PROJECT. The Project was developed and implemented over two phases (Phase 2A [Chaiyaphum] and Phase 2B [Ayutthaya]) under 4 standard renewable energy PPAs (25 MW for each site) with PEA in Chaiyaphum and Ayutthaya Provinces. The Project has a total capacity of 50 MW installed gross capacity and utilizes multicrystalline photovoltaic technology. Any additional generation from the Project beyond the PPA contract capacity will be distributed to the grid free of charge as an economic benefit for the country. The Project was developed under a separate engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) arrangements for each phase.  

Subyai Wind Power Project. The Subyai Wind Power Project entails the construction of a 90MW wind power plant in Subyai district, Chaiyaphum province. The Project will be implemented under a 5-year automatically-renewable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) under the Small Power Producers (SPP) program. The Project is an extension of the very small 7.5 MW Theppana Wind Power Project, which was financed by the ADB in 2013 to provide a financing structure that can be easily replicated for the much larger 90MW Subyai Wind Power Project.  

Bangkok Mass Rapid Transit Project (Pink and Yellow Lines). The Thai government approved the implementation of PPP Net Cost scheme for the monorail system of the MRT Pink Line and Yellow Line projects in Bangkok in March 2016, in which the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) will be responsible for provision of the land and the right of way whereas the private sector will invest in all civil works, M&E systems, and rolling stocks, including operations & maintenance services. The two projects are feeder lines to diversify the transport modality of the city, and to feed passengers to the main MRT lines, in particular those that connect to Bangkok CBD. The projects will mitigate traffic congestion and associated environmental issues, provide convenient and cost-effective public transportation system, and reduce the government's fiscal burden. The projects are parts of the government's stimulus measures to improve infrastructure which is an essential part of the country's sustainable development.

The MRTA announced invitations for tender of the MRT Pink Line and Yellow Line projects in July 2016. Although the tender process was undertaken separately for the two lines, the BSR Joint Venture (BSR) submitted the most competitive proposal and was selected as the preferred bidder for both lines in December 2016. BSR has entered into the concession agreements with MRTA for the MRT Pink Line and Yellow Line projects, respectively, in June 2017. Under the concession, BSR will obtain the rights to operate the lines, and be entitled to receive farebox revenues, commercial development fees, and parking fees during the concession period.

BSR comprises BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (BTS Group), the market leader in mass transit business, operating existing Green line, Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Public Company Limited (Sino-Thai), major construction company, and Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding Public Company Limited (Ratchaburi Electricity), one of the largest energy investment company.

The MRT Pink Line will operate between Min Buri district (Bangkok) and Khae Rai (Nonthaburi province), it will connect with existing MRT lines (e.g. Purple Line, Green Line), and new MRT lines (e.g. Red Line, Orange Line). The entire route length is about 34.5 kilometers, and the project components include 30 stations, one depot and stabling yard, and one park & ride building. The MRT Yellow line will operate between Lat Phrao (Bangkok) and Samrong (Sumut Prakarn province), it will connect with existing MRT lines (e.g. Green Line, Airport Rail Link), and new MRT lines (e.g. Blue Line, Orange Line). The entire route length is about 30 km., with 23 stations, one depot, and one park & ride building.

The government will provide subsidies during the first 10 years of the operation when the ridership is most uncertain. To further mitigate the ridership risk, ADB will extend a loan tranche whose door-to-door tenor is longer than the commercial banks to reduce the annual schedule repayment amount during the period following the expiry of the government subsidies.  

Green Loan for Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicle Charging Network. The project entails a corporate loan with a 3-year tenor to support the ongoing renewable energy and sustainable transport activities of Energy Absolute Public Company Limited (Energy Absolute). The loan is expected to be the first green loan in Thailand certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative and only the second in Asia. The assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will support Thailand's renewable energy sector, increase awareness about green loans, and support the transition from a conventional automotive industry to an electric vehicle industry in Thailand by establishing a comprehensive EVCN across Thailand's major cities. ADB's assistance will also support a leading clean energy and sustainable transport company in Thailand at a time when capital markets are still adjusting to the ongoing disruptions caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.  

Improving Domestic Resource Mobilization for Inclusive Growth. The program will enhance inclusive growth options by opening up the fiscal space for the government to meet its planned significant funding of inclusive social and economic services. To achieve this, the program will support fiscal consolidation, improve revenue management, strengthen public expenditure management, enhance the generation of domestic savings, and increase private resource mobilization for investment opportunities, especially for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. 
	The program impact will be citizens, particularly women, benefiting from higher living standards and more employment opportunities. The outcome will be the effective mobilization of domestic resources for increased public and private investment. The program will help enable improved fiscal space, better business opportunities and pension arrangements for women, more sustainable social service delivery, and a better environment for economic growth. The outputs are: (i) improved management of debt, cash and fiscal risk  (ii) strengthened revneue and public expendiutre management  (iii) enhanced generation of domestic savings  and (iv) increased mobilization of private resources for investment.

Project Readiness Financing: Livable Cities Investment Program. Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia, contributes 70% of the national GDP, with about half of the country's urban population concentrated in it.  The city's urban population steadily increased from 47% to 51% of the country's total between 2007 and 2017, while cities in the regions of Kakheti and Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti experienced decline in their urban population during the same period. The reverse trend in regional cities highlights issues such as out-migration, unbalanced economic growth, limited employment opportunities and poor livability in these regions. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) undertook a National Urban Assessment (NUA) in 2015 that identified the need for balanced regional development to unlock the potential for inclusive economic growth through urban development by adopting multiple strategies, new initiatives, and innovative funding mechanisms at the national and regional level through integrated urban investment planning.

To achieve this, the program supports fiscal consolidation, improve revenue management, strengthen public expenditure management, enhance the generation of domestic savings, and increase private resource mobilization for investment opportunities, especially for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses. 

The program impact will be that citizens, particularly women, benefit from higher living standards and more employment opportunities. The outcome will be the effective mobilization of domestic resources for increased public and private investment. The program supports inclusive growth by generating long-term savings and making short-term capital available for small businesses and infrastructure. The outputs are: (i) improved management of debt, cash and fiscal risk  (ii) strengthened revneue and public expendiutre management  (iii) enhanced generation of domestic savings  and (iv) increased mobilization of private resources for investment.  

COVID-19: Vaccine Support under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The project is aligned with the following impacts: (i) stabilize the situation and save lives  and (ii) spread, morbidity, and mortality of COVID-19 reduced and confidence of
citizens restored. The project outcome is that the target populations per the NVDP
are vaccinated against COVID-19.

Output 1. COVID-19 vaccine procured and delivered to designated points. The
project will finance procurement and delivery of vaccines through bilateral deals between the
government and manufacturers and/or through the COVAX Facility. Procurement through
bilateral deals with other countries will be considered, subject to due diligence and necessary
approvals. To vaccinate an estimated 0.3 million persons, 0.7 million doses of COVID-19

Livable Cities Investment Project for Balanced Development. Georgia is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, rich in natural resources and cultural heritage. Despite these comparative advantages, substantial infrastructure, services, and capacity gaps remain to unlock its  economic growth potential. Although Georgia is an upper middle-income country. 20.1% of the population still lives below the poverty line. Economic growth has been unevenly distributed between Tbilisi and across the regions. Georgia has a population of 3.7 million people (of which 1.9 million are women), with about 59% living in urban areas. Over 30% of the total population lives in Tbilisi, which contributed 52% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019. The total population of Georgia has steadily declined from 4.12 million in 2000 to 3.72 million in 2020. Population in Tbilisi increased from 1,100,000 to 1,184,800 during 2010-2020, while the picturesque Kakheti and Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti regions experienced a decline in their population during the same period from 369,800 to 310,000 and 413,200 to 311,100 respectively. The reverse trend in the regions highlights issues such as out-migration, limited job opportunities, low social benefits, and poor quality of life.  Growing disparities between Tbilisi and the regions challenge inclusive and sustainable economic growth.  

Growth Recovery Support Program. The loss of investor confidence, caused initially by the August 2008 conflict and then by the international financial crisis have caused a sharp  slowdown  in  capital  inflows  (both  foreign  direct  investment and private lending) to Georgia. The inflows may not recover to the pre-crises  levels  until  2010.  These  exogenous  shocks  are  being amplified by a slowdown in Georgia's export markets and a reduction in incoming remittances. All major components of aggregate demand in the economy have contracted and the macroeconomic  outlook  for  Georgia  has  been  revised  downwards, and remains very uncertain at this stage. Before the August conflict, real gross domestic product (GDP) was forecast to grow at 11–12% in 2008. The actual GDP growth was 2%, with the forecast for 2009 at  1%.  Economic  activity  has  slowed  considerably,  profit  margins have sharply decreased, and layoffs have risen. The social consequences of these developments could be very severe.
 
The  Government  and  the  monetary  and  financial  sector  authorities in Georgia have worked closely to address these challenges. When the Georgian lari came under pressure in August 2008, and again in October and November, the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) intervened  to  support  the  currency.  To  shore  up  reserves  depleted in  defense  of  the  lari  and  to  bolster  lari  depositor  confidence,  the Government  and  the  NBG  entered  into  a  $750  million  Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). By helping  to  rebuild  the  official  foreign  exchange  reserves  and  to restore  confidence  in  the  lari,  the  SBA  framework  supports  the Government's macroeconomic policy objectives of accelerating recovery  through  fiscal  stimulus,  allowing  exchange  rate  flexibility, and safeguarding banking system stability.
 
A  significant  macroeconomic  stimulus  is  required  to  counter  these adverse  shocks.  However,  the  very  high  and  increasing  use  of  the US dollar in the economy constrains what fiscal or monetary policy can  do.  Such  constraints  can  only  be  relaxed  by:  (i)  recourse  to external and long-term loans from development partners to finance core  public  expenditures  and  augment  foreign  exchange  reserves, and (ii) maintenance of some exchange rate stability, to avoid sharp fluctuations  in  the  value  of  the  lari.  In  parallel,  the  banking  system needs to remain stable for these measures to be effective. 
 
The joint needs assessment (JNA) by several development partners in  September  2008  remains  the  most  appropriate  framework  for dealing with the crisis, both in terms of assessing the need for, and designing, budget support and infrastructure and social sector assistance. The JNA identifies a need for intervention and development partner assistance in three major areas: (i) to help the Government ensure that critical economic and social needs are met and confidence is maintained, with quick-disbursing budget support to  back-stop  countercyclical  fiscal  measures  of  rapid  effect   (ii)  to resettle    internally  displaced  persons  and  address  the  post-conflict needs of affected populations  and (iii) to support critical new investments. The JNA notes that high-value and high-yield investments  are  key  to  maximizing  recovery  prospects  and  that such  investments  will  also  have  lasting  positive  effects  on  the economy's productive capacity.
 
The JNA estimated the overall resource requirements at $3.7 billion over a 3-year period. Actions were prioritized in three stages: stage 1  (6  months,  September  2008–March  2009)   stage  2  (12  months, April 2009–March 2010)  and stage 3 (12–18 months, March 2010–September 2011). The relevance of the JNA has been reinforced by the severity of the impact of the crisis on Georgia and the continuing uncertainty of capital flows.
 
The proposed Program is a follow-up to the EAPCR. The macroeconomic policy framework anchor is provided for in the SBA between  Georgia  and  the  IMF.  Like  the  earlier    program,  it  is anchored on the JNA. It will continue ADB support for the Government to help it meet critical public expenditures and cushion the  adverse  revenue  shocks  that  will  probably  persist  throughout 2009. The Program will complement two planned ADB infrastructure projects (the Municipal and Urban Infrastructure Development  Project  and  the  Ajara  Bypass  Roads  Project).  The World  Bank  plans  to  provide  $85  million  in  budget  support  through its  Development  Policy  Operation.  The  European  Union  is  also expected  to  provide  budgetary  assistance  in  the  near  future.  The Program will support the following outputs.  
    
Output  1.  Incremental  expenditure  needs  arising  from  the  worse-than-expected economic conditions in 2009 are met without complete drawn down of cash balances at NBG.
 
Output 2. The delivery of the core Government expenditure program for 2009 in accordance with the approved budget, irrespective of subsequent revisions that take into account shortfalls in revenue.

It is consistent with the ADB Water Operational Plan 2011-2020,  ADB's Country Operations Business Plan, 2019-2021 for Uzbekistan  and aligns with previous and ongoing ADB-funded WSS projects contributing to key operational priorities such as livable cities, governance and institutional capacity improvement and environmental sustainability enhancement under ADB's Strategy 2030  as well as the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.  

The project will be aligned with the following impact: environment, health and living conditions in Tashkent province improved. The outputs will result in the following outcome: access to reliable wastewater services in the cities of Akhangaran, Almalyk, Angren, Bekabod, Chirchik, Yangiyul and the Chinaz urban center, and the rural areas of Yangiyul and Chinaz districts improved and expanded.  The project is expected to directly benefit one million people with the following proposed outputs.  

Land Improvement Project. The Land degradation is a serious economic,social, and environmental problem in Uzbekistan and the rest Central Asia. It directly affects the livelihoods of the rural population by reducing land productivity, and by causing africultural production losses estimated at $2 billion a year for the region.

The project will address the rapidly worsening and expanding land degradation in nine districts in Bukhara, Kashkadarya and Navoi provinces. The project area,covering 162,300 hectares (ha) of irrigated land, suffers from increased soil salinity and shallow groundwater table the most serious forms of land degradation. Crop yields in these areas are reportedly have  declined by 30% since 1991. These problems are caused by (i) poor water management, (ii) deteriorating irrigation and drainage infrastructure(I&D), and (iii) a policy environment that constrains production growth and reduces incentives to invest in land improvement.  Worsening land degradation  directly affects a rural population of 1.4 million in the project districts. 

To help the Government halt and reverse land degradation, the Project will (i) develop and disseminate improved land reclamation practices adapted to local conditions  (ii) strengthen  institutions to address land degradation issues at central, provincial and community levels  and (iii) improve land and water management infrastructure to enhance water control and efficiency. Through agreed policy reforms, the Project also will help to increase farmers' incentives to raise land productivity and invest in land, as well as improve rural governance.  

Sustainable Solid-Waste Management Project. The proposed Sustainable Solid Waste Management Project will assist the Government of Uzbekistan (government) to develop the nation's solid waste management (SWM) sector by                    (i) supporting sector reforms  and (ii) improving access to SWM services for small cities and peri-urban and rural citizens.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 6 (Marakand–Karshi) Railway Electrification Project. The project will increase regional trade and accelerate economic growth.

The Kandym field development program will comprise construction of production wells, gas collection clusters, a gas-processing plant, ancillary infrastructure, and other associated facilities. Khauzak–Shady gas production started in November 2007. LOU (Lukoil Overseas Uzbekistan) plans to expand production capacity of Khauzak–Shady field.  

Mortgage Market Sector Development Program. 1. The program is aligned with the following impact: living standards improved for the population of Uzbekistan.  The program will have the following outcome: availability of affordable market-based residential mortgage credit increased.  The outcome will be achieved by establishing the premise for improved access to long-term market-based funding and enhanced development of competitive housing finance products, as well as reforming the inefficient housing subsidy framework and some of its programs.

2. The program will have three outputs. The stand-alone multitranche PBL will primarily support reforms under outputs 1 and 2.  The PBL comprises 13 policy actions under tranche 1 and 14 policy actions under tranche 2. The FIL will focus on delivering output 3 of the program.

3. Output 1: Policy, regulatory, and legal framework for the mortgage finance industry strengthened. The government will revise and strengthen the existing housing policy and subsidy framework, which is presently distorting the financial system (i.e., government housing programs are provided at below-market rates, crowding out market funding and pricing). Activities include review of the existing, and establishment of better targeted, subsidy programs that reach lower-income households. Some of the changes under tranche 1 of the PBL are aimed at reducing excessive subsidies and their regressive nature.  Policy actions under tranche 2 of the PBL will further deepen these reforms to enhance the fiscal sustainability and effectiveness of pro-poor targeting.  The transition, which the UMRC will facilitate, toward stronger private sector participation in the development of the housing sector will be supported by (i) introducing a new category of financial institutions specializing in mortgage refinancing activities, (ii) mandating the Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) to supervise and regulate this new category of financial institutions, and (iii) developing new regulations on mortgage lending to induce sound lending practices by banks.

4. Output 2: Housing finance strategy and subsidy framework strengthened. Tranche 1 of the PBL will establish the institutional mechanisms required to effectively implement and rationalize the government's housing subsidy framework. The government will establish the HAU to coordinate all existing housing policies and subsidy programs.  In the initial phase, the HAU will take stock of the existing government housing programs and redefine the eligibility criteria for beneficiaries, review the housing policy framework, and agree on a road map that sets out priorities for the required legal and policy reforms. Ultimately, the HAU will become a single point of contact for all housing programs and subsidy schemes, with the objectives of reducing the excessive burden on the public budget and improving efficiency and sustainability. The HAU will also increase coverage by developing innovative and new housing finance solutions and instruments (such as the up-front and one-time subsidy schemes for low-income beneficiaries, and rental programs in the housing sector).

5. The following actions will be carried out by the government under tranche 2 of the PBL to facilitate implementation of outputs 1 and 2: (i) introduction of a pilot program of income-based up-front housing subsidies for low-income families and preparation of a feasibility study for a new government-sponsored housing assistance scheme  (ii) development of a comprehensive housing and mortgage market database  (iii) eventual transformation of the HAU into an independent housing agency  (iv) preparation and approval of a new system for the collection and timely dissemination of statistical data and information on the housing sector, which will ultimately lead to the establishment of a house price index  (v) review and amendment of the current prudential and regulatory framework governing housing finance and mortgage lending in line with international norms  and (vi) comprehensive review of the housing sector (demand and supply sides) to identify areas and initiatives to promote greater competition by introducing international best practices. A feasibility study will also look into the future roles and relevance of the two dominant state-owned real estate developers.

6. Output 3: The establishment and operationalization of the mortgage refinancing company supported with long-term funding. Under this output (solely addressed by the FIL), ADB will provide long-term funding to the proposed UMRC to make long-term local currency resources available to banks to fund residential mortgage and housing improvement loans.  The UMRC will facilitate the provision of mortgage loans at an interest rate close to market rates (with an average loan maturity of 10 years), and address the demand for housing improvement loans, which are currently unavailable in the market.  The UMRC will address a fundamental market constraint that is preventing banks from expanding their housing finance portfolios, by better matching their assets and liabilities.  The UMRC will provide loans to participating financial institutions (PFIs) that are secured by eligible mortgage loans, based on criteria that will assess product design, market-based pricing, underwriting practices, loan documentation, and performance. This will help to professionalize the overall housing finance industry and address the risks associated with broadening access to housing finance across new borrower segments.  Eligibility criteria will also target end-beneficiaries that are currently underserved by the banking sector. In the medium to long term, the UMRC will support more exponential sector growth by using new debt instruments such as corporate bonds, covered bonds, and/or mortgage-backed securities to mobilize long-term funds from institutional investors.  

Sustainable Hydropower Project. 1.	The project will construct three new run-of-river small-sized hydropower plants (HPPs), and provide capacity development for mini/micro HPPs development in the Republic of Uzbekistan.  The three sub-projects are selected based on technical and economic viability, and prioritized in the national investment program.  The project will contribute to increasing renewable energy and access to reliable energy, and building capacity for sustainable clean energy development.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor 2 Karakalpakstan Road (A380 Kungrad to Daut-Ata Section) Project. The proposed project will rehabilitate 240 km of Uzbekistan's A380 highway, providing last mile connectivity to the international border with Kazakhstan. This will provide an all-weather connectivity between the 2 countries and lower the transport costs for trade in the region. The project  road is located in the Kungrad district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan and has a total length of 240 km. It starts at km 964 on A380 highway and runs towards the Kazakh border at km 1,204.

Horticulture Value Chain Development Project. The project will provide a loan to the Republic of Uzbekistan to channel through qualified participating financial institutions (PFI's) who will on-lend to horticulture-related farmers and businesses for fixed asset investments such as intensive orchards, cold storages, processing and packaging equipment.  The project will address the critical constraint - lack of long term resources in the Uzbekistan banking system. Since horticulture sector has high value produces, the project will contribute significantly to creating sustainable enterprises, increasing employment, and improving household income. Key lessons learnt from previous and ongoing projects financed by ADB and development partners are taken into account in the project design: (i) there needs be a dedicated project management office, other than the Ministry of Finance, to monitor the PFIs' lending activities and safeguards compliance  and (ii) terms and conditions of PFIs' subloans must be business- and demand-based without any government interventions.  

Rural Basic Education Project. The justification for funding basic education in rural areas rests on inequities in the provision of quality education services. A comprehensive school survey revealed clear disparities between rural and urban schools. Across the country, schools in rural communities that are remote from provincial and district centers are disadvantaged in almost every aspect in relation to the quality of school facilities, as well as availability of learning and teaching inputs. 

About 80% of Uzbekistan's 9,773 basic schools are located in rural areas. The vast majority of rural basic schools are considered in very poor condition requiring emergency repairs and major rehabilitation works. Common defects were leaking roofs, water infiltration to the building structures, damaged windows and doors, defective floors, malfunctioning sanitary and plumbing facilities, broken heating systems, and leaking water supply system. Most classroom furniture is also in very poor condition. About 70% of schools had no science laboratory equipment and lack modern teaching aids and learning materials. 

Teaching techniques and subject knowledge of many teachers particularly in rural schools are inadequate and outdated. Most teachers still apply traditional teaching methods, devoting attention mostly to narrow subject knowledge, requiring students to memorize and repeat notions and definitions. Critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills and teamwork do not receive sufficient attention. Although training programs for teachers have been revised gradually, the current in-service training system needs to become more flexible to adjust to specific subject related requirements of teachers in rural school, who work under difficult circumstances. 

To address the issues in rural schools, the Government launched the National Program for Basic Education Development (NPBED) 2004-2009, which aims to strengthen basic education to meet international standards and remove disparities. The investment costs of the NPBED, are estimated at $1.2 billion, to be financed by a combination of 75% budget financing, 20% foreign investment financing, and 5% local donor contributions. Major investments include school construction and rehabilitation, and significant salary increases for teachers.

It is proposed that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) intervention will complement Government's NPBED and focus on improving the relevance and quality of basic education in rural areas. Other ongoing ADB interventions in the education sector provide assistance in addressing issues related to (i) policy planning, governance and management  (ii) curriculum modernization and textbook development  and (iii) improving teaching and learning through information and communication technology (ICT).

The impact of the Project will be improved opportunities for graduates from rural basic schools to progress to higher levels of education. The Project outcome will be improved equitable access to and enhanced quality and relevance of basic education in rural areas in three project oblasts. The expected outcome will be achieved by (i) upgrading of school facilities, (ii) enhancing the capacity of teacher training institutions and raion education departments to strengthen teaching in rural schools, and (iii) increasing community participation in school life.  

Power Sector Reform Program (Subprogram 1). The proposed Power Sector Reform Program will support Uzbekistan''s reforms aimed at restructuring the power industry to to enable competition and creating conducive environment private investment in the sector. These measures will improve the sector's financial sustainability and ensure adequate and timely investment in critical infrastructure, which will help reboot economic growth and bring new employment opportunities when recovering from the pandemic crisis. The program will place the clean energy transition at the center of reforms and accelerate modern reliable and clean energy infrastructure to put greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into structural decline. The program will support the government''s ultimate objectives of improving the quality of people''s lives and creating jobs by developing a robust private sector, fully aligned with the Asian Development Bank''s (ADB) country partnership strategy for 2019-2023 for Uzbekistan.  

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Program (Subprogram 2). The subprogram will further strengthen the operating environment for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to become drivers of private sector-led, diversified economic growth and increase their resilience to economic shocks such as those triggered by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Reforms under the subprogram (and overall program) are grouped into four pillars: (i) diversifying formal bank and nonbank financial instruments  (ii) reducing the institutional costs of doing business  (iii) improving trade facilitation and digitalization  and (iv) aligning skills and market needs.  

Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program - Tranche 1. Part I of the Project include the (i) rehabilitation of Damkhodja water source and water supply systems in 2 district centers/towns  (ii) improvement of wastewater collection and treatment in Termez city in Surkhandarya province to meet service levels of 60-70% through 2025  (iii) development of improved sanitation practices and positive hygiene behavior in local health clinics, schools and general population in subproject towns with focus on children and women to help further improve the overall public health of project beneficiaries.

Distribution Network Digital Transformation and Resiliency Project. Distribution Network Digital Transformation and Resiliency project aims to rehabilitate medium voltage distribution substations and associated overhead lines across the country and modernize the distribution system operations. The project is aligned with the following impact: social and economic development through provision of green infrastructure services achieved. The project outcome: distribution grid operation reliability and efficiency improved--will be achieved through the following outputs: Output 1: Distribution substations modernized and digitalized  Output 2: Women's energy-based livelihoods improved  and Output 3: Institutional capacity for sustainability and climate resilience enhanced.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor 2 (Pap-Namangan-Andijan) Railway Electrification Project. The Government of Uzbekistan (the government) has requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance for the electrification of the railway line from Pap to Namangan to Andijan.   The proposed project (the Project) will electrify the missing 145.1 kilometers (km) of non-electrified track between 5.2km east of Pap station to Andijan 1 Station, linking major cities in the populous Fergana Valley with Tashkent. This will facilitate direct and efficient operation of both freight and passenger train services and thereby promote economic and social development of the Fergana Valley.  

Horticulture Value Chain Development Project (Additional Financing). The project will provide an ADDITIONAL loan to the Republic of Uzbekistan to channel through qualified participating financial institutions (PFI s) who will on-lend to horticulture-related farmers and businesses for fixed asset investments such as intensive orchards, cold storages, processing and packaging equipment. The project will address the critical constraint lack of long term resources in the Uzbekistan banking system. Since horticulture sector has high value produces, the project will contribute significantly to creating sustainable enterprises, increasing employment, and improving household income. Key lessons learnt from previous and ongoing projects financed by ADB and development partners are taken into account in the project design: (i) there needs be a dedicated project management office, other than the Ministry of Finance, to monitor the PFIs  lending activities and safeguards compliance  and (ii) terms and conditions of PFIs  subloans must be business- and demand-based without any government interventions  

Korzinka COVID-19 Food Retail Supply Chain Support Project. 3-year senior secured loan of up to $12 million (local currency equivalent) with 1 year grace period and semi-annual equal amortization to support increased working capital and operational expenditure needs related to COVID-19.  

Horticulture Value Chain Infrastructure Project. The proposed project supports the Government of Uzbekistan's plan to establish horticulture clusters where production and post-harvest services can be consolidated to improve efficiency and economies of scale. It will finance the establishment of agro-logistic centers (ALCs) in two locations - Andijan and Samarkand regions - considering international best practices. The ALCs will provide all necessary facilities and services in one place: trading, storage, processing, food safety certification, customs clearance, transport, shipping, marketing advisory services, trade finance, and commercial banking. Significantly larger volumes of product with improved quality will be marketed as a result of better post-harvest logistics that will facilitate reduced post-harvest losses and increased domestic sales and exports. The ALCs will enhance value chain linkages with production, post-harvest processing, and handling following international quality and safety standards. Increased export and domestic marketing of horticultural products will increase price transmission to small-scale producers and small and medium-sized agribusinesses. It will also diversify the country's agriculture from cotton to horticulture, which generates higher financial and economic returns and involves fewer social and environmental concerns.  

Public Finance Management Reform. The Project impact will be more efficient allocation and utilization of fiscal resources and improved macroeconomic management. The Project outcome will include (i) an efficient and sustainable Treasury mechanism fulfilling its mandated responsibilities as defined in the Treasury law  and (ii) improved transparency, accountability and efficiency of public finance management processes. The project impact outcome will be monitored by progresses in the following areas: (i) cash and debt management, (ii) expenditure control and management in line with budget policies and priorities, (iii) minimized delays in payment cycle, (iv) creation of a modern accounting system to conform to international standards, and (v) generation of timely and accurate management reports to meet diverse user needs.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 2 Road Investment Program - Tranche 1. Under the CAREC Corridor 2 Road Investment Program, the Project will comprise civil works for rehabilitating about 50 km of the Uzbekistan Section of CAREC Corridor 2 Road (between Km 440 and 490 of A380 highway), support to to the expansion and implementation of the road asset management system, and support capacity building for the Road Fund and the local communities living along the Investment Program road.  

Integrated Urban Development Project. The proposed project will support inclusive, resilient, and sustainable urban infrastructure and services in four secondary cities (Djizzak, Havast, Khiva, and Yangiyer) experiencing low livability and lagging growth exacerbated by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It will demonstrate integrated and innovative solutions, and strengthen institutional capacity for "building back better". These measures will (i) enhance livability for residents and visitors, including persons with disabilities  (ii) support green and resilient economic recovery targeting women  (iii) accelerate digital transformation, particularly in the tourism and water sectors  and (iv) increase the quality, coverage, efficiency, and reliability of urban services. The project supports the government's national development strategy, 2022-2026, which aims to accelerate growth and reduce poverty through improved urbanization and balanced regional development.  

Samarkand Solar Power Project. The proposed Samarkand Solar Power Project (the Project) aims to increase renewable energy generation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Uzbekistan. The Project has two main components: (i) construction of a 100 megawatt (MW) grid-connected crystalline photovoltaic (PV) power plant with single axis tracking system  (ii) institutional capacity building on solar energy and grid integration, and (iii) project management and supervision.

Uzbekistan has among the highest energy and carbon intensities in the world, both over six times the world average, calling for drastic increases in energy efficiency and renewable energy to reduce GHG emissions. Despite the huge potential, renewable energy supplies less than 11% of the country's power demand, and only hydro resources are being tapped. Over 89% of Uzbekistan's 12.6 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity are conventional thermal power plants fueled by natural gas (76%), fuel oil (7%), and coal (6%). Half of this fossil-based energy is generated in power plants built before 1982, with only 10% generated in power plants built after 1997. Moreover, total grid losses is about 20%, due in part to long distance transmission and distribution. While Uzbekistan is almost 100% electrified, the demand-supply gap leaves many provinces, including Samarkand, with intermittent power. In addition, the domestic consumption of gas equals lost export revenues, estimated at over $900 million for 2012 alone. 

The Project's impact is improved sustainability of the energy supply in Uzbekistan, and the outcome is increased renewable energy generation in Uzbekistan. The Project has two main outputs: (i) construction of a 100 MW on-grid crystalline PV power plant, transmission and support facilities  and (ii) capacity building, project management and supervision support for Uzbekenergo.  

COVID-19: Emergency Response Project. The proposed project is part of a comprehensive ADB package which also includes budget support for the COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support (CARES) Program. The proposed project will be co-financed by ADB and AIIB to urgently increase Uzbekistan's resilience to COVID-19 pandemics and other epidemics. The project will support the testing, surveillance, and case management of COVID-19 in Uzbekistan by equipping and refurbishing the national laboratory system, establishing an
IT-based national surveillance and monitoring system, and improving and expanding the COVID-19 treatment capacity. Activities will be coordinated with, and complementary to, assistance of the World Bank, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and fill remaining gaps in medical equipment and supplies.

The proposed project is aligned with four operational priorities of Strategy 2030: (i) addressing poverty and reducing inequalities through improved health access  (ii) accelerating gender equality through occupational safety and training targets for women  (iii) strengthening governance and institutional capacity  and (iv) fostering regional cooperation through reducing risks of cross-border disease transmission. The project further aligns with Uzbekistan's National Actions Strategy for 20172021, and the government-adopted "The Concept of Development of the Healthcare System of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 20192025." Reforms will address systematic health systems issues such as fragmentation, inefficiency, and the insufficient emphasis on non-communicable diseases prevention and early detection.

The project is aligned with (i) concept for the development of the health system of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 20192025, and (ii) the SPRP. The project will have the following outcome: resilience to outbreaks of COVID-19 and other epidemics reinforced. The project will have three outputs: Output 1 - national laboratory system strengthened  Output 2 - national surveillance and response system established for COVID-19 and other epidemics  and Output 3 - COVID-19 treatment capacity expanded.  

Navoi Solar Power Project. The project consists of a 100-megawatt grid connected solar power plant in Navoi District, Uzbekistan. _Nur Navoi Solar_ Foreign Enterprise (NNS), a Limited Liability Company is the borrower for the loan and will build, own, and operate the project. Masdar is the sponsor of NNS. The project Power Purchase Agreement was signed with JSC National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan in 2019.  

Housing for Integrated Rural Development Improvement Program - Tranche 2. The Housing for Integrated Rural Development (HIRD) Program is a high priority component of Uzbekistan s Welfare Improvement Strategy (WIS) 2012 2015 for achieving inclusive growth and greater diversification of the economy.   HIRD focuses on rural housing as an engine for economic transformation and accelerating rural development. Planned communities, modern house designs, new construction technology and materials, and more environmentally sustainable construction solutions are advancing the construction sector and providing opportunities for Uzbek entrepreneurs and industries. As part of HIRD up to 10,000 homes are being built per year, creating opportunities for up to 1,000 small rural contractors and 100,000 rural construction jobs annually. Improved access to nearby schools and clinics is a key part of this program. More reliable electricity, gas, and water supply, combined with community designs that include space for retail shops and commercial services, are opening up opportunities for home-based businesses. HIRD is an important driver for the 500,000 rural micro and small enterprises and home-based jobs targeted each year. 

On 31 August 2011, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a $500 million multitranche financing facility (MFF) for the Housing for Integrated Rural Development (HIRD) Investment Program principally to provide financing to participating commercial banks (PCBs) for onlending to more than 40,000 targeted rural homebuyers.  

Under HIRD, subloans financed by the MFF help support construction of new modern houses built in planned rural community sites, with serviced land plots with electricity, gas, water supply and sanitation, and roads provided by local governments. Local governments also provide access to and improvements in nearby schools and medical clinics, and are making space available for new retail shops and commercial services.  

Project Readiness Financing: Urban Services Projects. Proposed project readiness financing. ADB's experience in Uzbekistan shows that slow project start-up after approval caused mainly by the government's inability to prepare the detailed engineering design (DED) and procurement documents in a timely manner has a negative impact on projects by prolonging implementation, increasing cost, and compromising their impact. The proposed project readiness financing (PRF) is an integral part of ADB's support to the sector. It will support a high level of project readiness by preparing and completing DED, procurement documents, and advance assessment of procurement packages before project approval. The PRF will also strengthen the capacity of project executing and implementing agencies of each ensuing project. The design of the PRF is aligned with ADB's country partnership strategy for Uzbekistan, 2019-2023,  and ADB's water and urban operational plans, and environmental operational directions. It also contributes to three of the seven key operational priorities under ADB's Strategy 2030 regarding livable cities, strengthening governance and institutional capacity, and enhancing environmental sustainability.  

Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program - Tranche 4. The current sewerage system in Fergana and Margilan is also used by Tashlak and nearby districts. There is one treatment plant covering these cities which was built in the 1970s and because of the aging infrastructure and inadequate maintenance the sewage treatment facility is only operating at 20% of its designed capacity. The treated sewage has high levels of pollutants. Sewage is discharged into the nearby river when the sewage treatment facility is non-operational. Due to frequent sewer breakage, the surrounding streets and land are highly polluted. Where expansion has occurred in the cities, these areas have not been covered by the sewerage system.

The government has decentralized many WSS services to devolve greater ownership and responsibility to local level, but the success at the level of local water enterprises is limited, with little accountability and incentives to improve services. Vodokanal staff have had limited opportunities for upgrading their skills. Consumption of electricity is high. Improvements are required in O&M procedures, system maintenance, customer relations, collection rate, performance monitoring, and benchmarking systems. 

On 11 February 2013, the government submitted a periodic financing request (PFR) to ADB for Tranche 4, to finance rehabilitation and expansion of the sewerage system in Fergana and Margilan cities,  and capacity development and project implementation support.  

Primary Health Care Improvement Project. The project will support the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan's health service optimization process, which aims to improve and expand primary health care services delivered in the rural areas.  The proposed project will strengthen the rural health sector by providing the 793 newly established rural family polyclinics with modern diagnostic equipment and health workforce development to expand their service delivery. This will be supported by tools to monitor the government's broader primary health care reform and the project, and include a pilot of a health management information system in a rural region.  

Amu Bukhara Irrigation System Rehabilitation Project. The proposed project is located in Bukhara Province and two districts in Navoi Province in the central part of Uzbekistan. The project will ensuer a sustainable and reliable water supply for irrigated agriculture in the main command area of 250,000 ha in the Amu Bukhara Irrigation System (ABIS) and drinking water for 725,000 population.  

Kashkadarya and Navoi Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project. The Project will improve the living conditions and public health in rural areas of Kashkadarya and Navoi oblasts. The Project will upgrade service levels, delivery efficiency, and achieve better cost recovery by providing capacity building and project management support. The Project will assist the Government in the implementation of institutional reform for water supply infrastrucutre services, and the provision and upgrading of reliable financially sustainable water supply services that will improve public health, promote economic development, and reduce rural poverty. The project components are (i) physical infrastructure  and (ii) institutional development, which includes a capacity-building program, a hygiene and sanitation education program, and consulting services for project management support.  

Solid Waste Management Improvement Project. The project fully supports the government's priority of improving Tashkent's solid waste management (SWM) system through an investment package to accelerate waste minimization and recycling initiatives, upgrade and rehabilitate the city's solid waste collection and transfer systems, and develop a new sanitary landfill (SLF) to potentially serve the city until at least the year 2060.  Concurrently, it will assist government to develop a national SWM strategy and investment program in order to guide national SWM sector improvements over the medium term. The project also supports the government's recent proposals to progressively increase private sector involvement in SWM provision,  reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality.  

Climate Adaptive Water Resources Management in the Aral Sea Basin Sector Project. The proposed project will build on lessons learned from past and ongoing projects of ADB in water resources in Uzbekistan.  It will undertake a long-term, strategic and knowledge-based approach. The project will deliver climate adaptive solutions to water resources management by modernizing irrigation and drainage in selected subprojects within the Amu Darya and (selective reaches of the) Zarafshan River Basins in Uzbekistan.  

Tashkent Province Water Supply Development Project. The project will support the Government of Uzbekistan in the rehabilitation of a regional water supply system located in two districts of Tashkent Province.

The proposed investment of Batch 2 Investment Program will continue focusing on improving domestic transport system serving inter-provincial traffic and selected national highways.

The proposed subprojects under Batch 2 Investment Program are: Sukkur-Jacobabad and Qila Saifullah-Zhob roads.  

PATRIND HYDROPOWER PROJECT. The Project involves construction and operation of a 147 MW run-of-the-river hydroelectric power generation facility between the Kunhar and Jhelum rivers near Muzaffarabad on a BOOT basis for a period of 30 years from the commercial operations date.  

Punjab Government Efficiency Improvement Program (Subprogram 1). Building on the PRMP and other programs, PGEIP will support the GoPb in realizing the long-term goals expressed in Vision 2020, through which the government has committed itself to significantly improving the standard of living of the people of Punjab, especially the poor and vulnerable. The PGEIP will improve the overall functioning of the provincial, district, and municipal governments and the quality of public services. The improvements will take the following forms: (i) greater performance-oriented planning and budgeting  (ii) a more efficient civil service, with adequate incentives and merit-based appointment and career progression  (iii) a funded and well-managed pension system, which increases the
confidence of civil servants and the public, and generates fiscal space for high-priority investments in the social sectors  and (iv) greater private sector contribution to growth and facilitation of public-private partnerships. 

As reforms in these areas are complex and take time to filter through the bureaucracy, PGEIP will be processed as a program cluster comprising three single-tranche SPs. This modality provides adequate flexibility to meet emerging reform needs and use program conditions genuinely for policy reform, rather than as rigid prescriptions. ADB's Management and Board will also have greater involvement in recommending measures for future operations within a cluster, in a way that is not possible in traditional multiple-tranche operations. Separate reports and recommendations of the President (RRPs) will be prepared for each subprogram. The policy matrix developed thus far for SP1 has indicative actions for SP2 and SP3. In addition, detailed action plans will be developed in combination with policy matrices to guide reforms. In order to ensure that all the six pillars of the Vision 2020 are in place,
the GoPb has also sought ADB's support for accelerating the attainment of the MDGs and implementation of provincial-level judicial reforms, in addition to the government efficiency improvements under PGEIP. In line with this request, ADB will also prepare two additional program clusters, namely the PMDGP and PAJP, in an integrated manner along with PGEIP over 2007-2011. The integrated approach and the preliminary details of the PMDGP and PAJP. The integrated approach will improve program coordination, reduce duplication, minimize inconsistency in policy advice and measures, and focus resources for desired outcomes.

The reforms under the three program clusters will accelerate and sustain economic growth, improve the delivery of public services, create more employment opportunities, and reduce poverty.  

Private Participation in Infrastructure Program I. The Private Participation in Infrastructure and Program (PPIP) aims to enhance economic growth through improved infrastructure services. The outcome will be enhanced private sector participation in infrastructure investment and maintenance to reduce the Government's fiscal burden and provide better infrastructure services to the population and enterprises.  To achieve these objectives, Subprogram ! will (i) strengthen the enabling environment for PPI by addressing remaining policy, legal, regulatory, and institutional constraints to PPI and (ii) provide technical and financial support for PPI projects.

The PPIP is a cluster program that will consist of Subprogram 1 and Subprogram 2 (the design of which will depend on the outcome of Subprogram 1 and the Government's emerging priorities).  A TA grant will support implementation of Subprogram 1 and capacity building initiatives required to support the Government's PPI initiatives over the medium-and long-term.

By promoting PPI, the operation will help the Government to leverage more financial resources into infrastructure by using the private sector as an intermediary. This will help to fill the gap between (i) the infrastructure the Government can afford and (ii) the infrastructure needed for economic development and poverty reduction, as articulated under the Government's Medium Term Development Framework (MTDF).  

Jalalpur Irrigation Project Design Advance. The Jalalpur Irrigation Project (JIP) is located along right bank of River Jhelum in Punjab, Pakistan. It will create new non-perennial irrigation services for enhanced agricultural production on 79,750 ha in Pind Daden Khan and Khushab districts.  The project will increase kharif crop intensity by 50%, improve crop yield and reduce land degradation. It will directly benefit over 200,000 rural people  mostly poor. The project will (i) construct over 200 km new irrigation canals, (ii) introduce institutional reforms and establish farmers' organizations (FOs), and (iii) build farmers capacity. The project will contribute to food security and economic growth and will alleviate rural poverty in the project area.

National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program, Tranche 2.

Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project. Through this project, the Asian Development Bank will support the Government of Nepal in its efforts to put thousands of children back into schools, return vital government services to desperate communities, and create jobs and income for families by repairing critical road networks. The project will rebuild or repair least 700 schools damaged by the earthquake. The schools that are rebuilt or repaired under the project will include stronger construction and engineering specifications that are designed to help the structures withstand future disasters. They will also include improved bathrooms with separate facilities for boys and girls. As part of the project, disaster risk management principles and awareness will be developed in the communities surrounding the refurbished schools. To get vital social services to the people as quickly as possible, transitional government offices will be established while disaster-resistant structures are being built and furnished. The project will also repair and improve about 135 km of strategic roads and about 450 km of rural roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides. The roads will be rebuilt with improved road safety features and designed to withstand future disasters and the impact of climate change. The long term outcome of the work being done under the project is the construction of roads, schools and government buildings that are designed to withstand the disasters of the future. This will speed up the social and economic recovery of communities devastated by the earthquake.  

Commercial Agriculture Development. The Project will reduce poverty in the rural communities of 11 EDR districts through equitable and sustainable commercialization of agriculture. The project outcome will be improved efficiency of production, marketing, and processing of HVCs such as vegetables, fruits, tea, and spices in the EDR.

The project outputs include (i) increased public and private investment in commercial agriculture, (ii) inclusion of poor and semicommercial stakeholders in commercial agriculture, (iii) timely availability of market information to farmers, and (iv) enhanced capacity of project partners in supporting farmers.  

Power Transmission and Distribution Efficiency Enhancement Project. Electricity is a necessary requirement for accelerating the economic development of any country and is considered an important input to improve quality of life. Overall, the electricity demand has far outgrown the supply, leading to load curtailment and increased dependence on imports from India in recent times. The peak suppressed demand in Nepal in FY2013-2014 has been around 1,200 megawatt (MW) as against installed capacity of 787 MW, hence resulting in a deficit of about 440 MW due to non-availability of generation. Government has plans to generate additional 10,000 MW in the next 10 years. About 63% of the population in Nepal has access to electricity but the supply quality is unreliable and inadequate. The government has recognized the immediate need for reinforcement and upgrade of outdated distribution systems crucial to deliver the required energy to the customers even if the generation and transmission lines are in place. In this regard, the need for immediate distribution network enhancement is included in the government's action plan to address energy crisis and provide universal access to reliable and efficient electricity for all by 2030. This will contribute in promoting sustainable energy for all (Sustainable Development Goal #7) and Nepal's Intended Nationally Determined Commitments for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

ADB's Nepal country partnership strategy 2013-2017 supports the government's development objective of accelerated and inclusive economic growth. It seeks to address the infrastructure bottlenecks in the key areas such as energy services and creating an enabling environment for increased business and employment opportunities. ADB's support for the energy sector in Nepal has largely focused on generation and transmission with some distribution extension. This project will be ADB's first investment in Nepal specifically targeting energy efficiency through distribution system enhancements measures.  

Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Improvement Project. ADB and the Government of Nepal are working together to help the residents of the Kathmandu Valley to obtain greater access to clean water on a long-term basis.

Component 2 will entail development of safe, accessible, and adequate water supply and sanitation facilities in about 20 small towns. Component 3 will strengthen governance and capacity for project management and operation.  

Detailed Engineering Study for the Upper Seti Hydropower Project. The Study will provide consulting services for each of two major engineering design specifications: (i) civil works on geological risk ssessments, and (ii) facilities on technical and hydrological risk assessments. It is essential for hydropower development to clarify the project's uncertain factors and to incorporate preventive actions and risk mitigation measures in the project design, prior to financing decisions and implementation. To minimize project risks, the Study will focus on geological and hydrological assessments through rock tests and hydraulic model simulation to establish engineering design parameters.  

Community Irrigation Project. The project  will develop or improve small-scale irrigation systems in 12 districts in Nepal through a community-driven process targeted at the poor, women, and other disadvantaged groups. Small irrigation systems are defined as systems with less than 25 hectares of irrigation area in the hills and mountains and less than 200 hectares in the Terai plains. The participating districts were selected because of their high poverty, food insecurity and irrigation potential. They are Kanchanpur, Kailali, Dang, Kapilvastu in the Terai plains  Doti, Salyan, Rukum, Rolpa, Pyuthan in the hills  and Bajhang, Jumla, Mugu in the mountains. As the first large-scale intervention in small irrigation development in Nepal, the project will demonstrate participatory irrigation planning and management and build the capacity of all levels of the government for small-scale irrigation development. Farmers will form or strengthen existing water users associations (WUAs) to apply for project support. The project will provide support to rehabilitate and build new surface water irrigation schemes and to develop groundwater irrigation through shallow tube wells. It will also facilitate access to microfinance support and provide extension services. For farmers without access to electricity who are installing shallow tube wells, the project will connect them to the electricity network. WUAs will in turn learn to manage water more efficiently and equitably, maintain their systems, and apply improved agricultural practices.

Punjab province will also develop a cluster of low-head, high-volume small hydropower stations that can be installed in the existing irrigation canal system with perennial water flows. The scope may get expanded to cover other renewable sources as well as other provinces in the future. An effort will also be made for capacity development of renewable energy sector related agencies.  

National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program - Tranche 1. The National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program (NTCHIP) aims to assist the Government of Pakistan in the implementation of its flagship initiative approved by the Government in 2005. The objective of NTCHIP is to develop and improve road connectivity along the main north-south national highway corridor that will support the national trade corridor (NTC). Road sector efficiencies will be linked to policy reforms and action as identified and endorsed by the Government's reform agenda on NTC.

The Project will construct a four-lane highway from Faisalabad to Gojra (Section 1 of the Faisalabad-Khanewal Highway), including full-depth asphalt pavement, bridges, flyovers, underpasses, and interchanges.

Consulting services for construction supervision of the National Trade Corridor Highway are required to assist the National Highway Authority (NHA) in implementing the proposed improvements and construction.  

National Highway Development Sector Investment Program-Project 1. The proposed project is designed to achieve three specific objectives:  (i) improve road sector efficiency on the main transport corridors in Pakistan, (ii) support regional cooperation by removing or relaxing physical, institutional and other barriers to improve transportation and increase trade  and (iii) institutional capacity building of NHA.  

Improving Workforce Readiness in Punjab Project. The proposed Improving Workforce Readiness in Punjab Project (IWRPP) is estimated to cost $110 million, of which the ADB will finance $100 million from ordinary capital resources (regular loan). The Government of Punjab will contribute in-kind assistance of $10 million. The IWRP Project will strengthen the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector's ability to support economic growth and job creation in priority economic sectors, including export-oriented sectors. The IWRP Project will expand use of competency-based training and assessment (CBTA), reform the TVET institutional framework, and develop TVET centers of excellence (COEs) and sector skills councils. It will also expand work-based training, strengthen of industry-TVET linkages, address the lack of female participation in TVET, expand entrepreneurship programs for TVET graduates, and introduce the private management of public TVET institutes.  

Accelerating Economic Transformation Program (Subprogram 2). Pakistan  continues  to  face  a  range  of  macroeconomic  challenges. While the food and fuel price shocks of late 2007 and early 2008 have largely  dissipated,  the  economy  is  likely  to  be  on  a  slow  growth  path for the next 2 years at least, because of the general global slowdown. Real  gross  domestic  product  (GDP)  growth  declined  to  5.8%  in  fiscal year (FY) 2008, after averaging at 7% over the 5 years. It is projected to decline to 2.5% in FY2009.   

On  30  September  2008,  ADB’s  Board  approved  the  AETP  program cluster  framework  and  two  loans  totaling  $500  million  for  the  first subprogram ($200 million ADF and $300 million OCR) (AETP1). AETP1 supported credible measures to (i) cushion the poorest through social  safety  nets   (ii)  move  toward  market-based  wheat  pricing   (iii) resolve  the  long-term  circular  debt  burden  in  the  power  sector   (iv) improve  risk  management  in  the  financial  sector   and  (v)  launch  work on medium-term economic transformation.      

In parallel to AETP1 preparation, the Government sought advice from the  International  Monetary  Fund  (IMF)  on  policy  measures  to  restore macroeconomic  stability.  Subsequently,  IMF’s  standby  arrangement (SBA) to Pakistan was approved on 24 November 2008 in the amount of $7.6 billion equivalent and $3.1 billion was disbursed. On 30 March 2009,  the  IMF  concluded  its  first  review  of  the  SBA  and  disbursed $847  million.  On  26  March  2009,  the  World  Bank  approved  the  $500 million  Poverty  Reduction  and  Economic  Stabilization  Operation.  On 17  April,  the  Friends  of  Democratic  Pakistan  pledged  $5.3  billion  in support of reforms and investments.  
 
The proposed second AETP subprogram (AETP2) will help the Government  complete  short-term  stabilization  measures.  In  parallel, ADB  will  support  Pakistan  in  taking  steps  for  medium-term  economic transformation. Future AETP subprograms will focus on implementation,  and  they  will  put  into  effect  public–private  dialogue mechanisms to transform the economic structure gradually.

The transaction involves a loan of up to $20,000,000 to Kushhali Bank Limited (KBL) for Expanding Access to Credit for Agriculture and Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) Borrowers in Pakistan.  

Punjab Government Efficiency Improvement Program - Subprogram 2. Punjab is the largest provincial economy and the most populous province of Pakistan, accounting for over 50% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and population. The economic performance of Punjab plays a critical role in the overall economic strength of the country. Punjab has achieved robust economic growth and significant poverty reduction in recent years. However, it still faces numerous development challenges. The first is the low living standard and high poverty incidence. Average per capita income in the province is about $1,000 which is about two thirds of the low middle income country average. Poverty ratio remains high at over 20%. The second is the low level of non-income well being as measured by social indicators. For example, over one third of children under 5 years of age are underweight. Third, Punjab faces large infrastructure deficits. There is acute power shortage, and 90% of the provincial road network is rated as "fair to poor". Fourth, Punjab needs productive employment opportunities. Each year nearly 1.6 million youth enter the labor force. The official unemployment rate of 8% underestimates the degree of unemployment due to prevalent under reporting. Three quarters of the nonagricultural employed labor force is in the informal sector.  

Addressing Punjab's development challenges requires the province to maintain 7-8% growth per annum. Yet, long run economic growth since the 1970s has only been about 5%. Punjab's growth must also be inclusive. This requires the provision of infrastructure and social services to enable the poor and vulnerable to participate in economic development.  

The Government of Punjab (the government) has set accelerating income growth and improving social services as its twin development objectives. Punjab's Vision 2020 envisages the doubling of per capita income to about $2,000 by 2020 and significantly improved service delivery. Realizing that Punjab's Vision requires an efficient public sector and a dynamic private sector. The government has identified an efficient, accountable, and capable public sector as the key institutional foundation for achieving Punjab's development objectives. These elements underpin the design of the Program.  

Sustainable Energy Sector Reform Program (Subprogram 3). The Program will help the Government with the short-term stabilization measures and start the long-term restructuring for a sustainable power sector. The impact of the overall program will be a more reliable, sustainable, and secure energy sector that supports the country's economic growth. The outcome will be an improved reliability, sustainability, and affordability of the energy system.

The programmatic approach and subprogram 1 were approved on 24 April 2014 in support of the 2013 National Power Policy of the Government of Pakistan, which seeks to build an affordable, reliable, sustainable, and secure energy sector to support the countrys economic growth. The program, fully coordinated with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under its extended fund facility, takes a phased approach over multiple years to provide dynamic, long-term support to multidimensional reforms, with subprograms that match the government's budget cycle. The IMF completed its final review of the program in September 2016. The World Bank and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) cofinanced subprograms 1 and 2, and Agence Française de Developpement (AFD) will cofinance subprogram 3, which is the third and final year of the programmatic approach and builds on the reforms initiated during previous subprograms.

The project will also make Peshawar more livable and safe, boost private sector investment, and foster gender equity.  

PAK: KARACHI ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPANY LTD. (KESC) POST-PRIVATIZATION REHABILITATION, UPGRADE & EXPANSION. The assistance finances the turnaround of KESC, a loss-making, integrated utility with an exclusive license to supply electric power to the city of Karachi and surrounding areas. Following nationalization of KESC in the 1950's, ADB has supported KESC with several loans over the last 30 years through its public sector operations. Initially, ADB's assistance was mainly directed towards upgrading of physical assets, but with an acknowledged lack of focus on governance and management reform. Later efforts have recognized this, and privatization of KESC became a priority in later ADB interventions in the sector. After KESC?s privatization in late 2005, assisted by ADB, its new owners have embarked on a three-tier turnaround strategy based on (i) organizational restructuring and development  (ii) system balancing, modernization, and replacement  and (iii) generation capacity enhancement. The turnaround strategy requires capital expenditure during FY2007 to ?FY2009 of approximately PRs52 billion ($809 million): (i) generation rehabilitation and expansion, approximately PRs34 billion ($525 million)  (ii) transmission and distribution (T&D) network investments, PRs17 billion ($268 million)  and (iii) upgrading of commercial systems and rehabilitation of existing generation facilities, PRs1 billion ($16 million). 

In January 2014, KESC launched a rebranding strategy for its 100th year of incorporation, and changed its business name to K-Electric Limited.

The project will cost about $125.5 million and ADB will provide finance of $100 million and the government of Balochistan will provide the balance. 

The project will adopt an integrated water resources management approach for the irrigation development activities. The project will support implementation of the IWRM policy, and in turn supports and strengthens several principal elements of ADB's water policy, including: (i) improving the efficiency of water use and delivery  (ii) fostering water conservation and sustainability of infrastructure  and (iii) improving governance through beneficiary participation and capacity building.  In addition to irrigation infrastructure, the project will help establish water resources information system for improved water resources management and monitoring, address watershed degradation by improving vegetative cover and undertaking physical interventions to reduce erosion in critical areas through integrated and participatory approaches. It will further seek to strengthen the capacity of and coordination between the agencies in charge of watershed management through the project implementation process. Improved on-farm water management is critical to raising cropping intensities and optimizing productivity increases from the investments in irrigation infrastructure. In addition, the project will support high value agriculture which is essential to improve farmers' income in Balochistan. These aspects also form an integral part of the project design and will help to achieve benefits that would not be possible through investments in water resources infrastructure alone. 

To address the GoB's limited capacity and experience in data collecting and processing, the project will work in partnership with Pakistan Council for Water Resources to establish and maintain a water resources information system to strengthen GoB's capacity to collect, transmit, process, and share hydrometeorology data for improved water management.  The project design also explicitly recognizes the institutional, social, and cultural barriers to women's empowerment and the impact this may have on access to and participation in water resources development activities. Female community organizers at the project's implementing offices will collect data and information on the roles and responsibilities of women and assess their specific requirements. The possible effects of scheme development for women will be assessed and practical opportunities to develop and implement gender-specific interventions identified, particularly provision of efficient on-farm water and agronomic management and high value agricultural production.

Jaipur Metro Rail Line 1-Phase B Project. Jaipur, the capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan, is the 10th largest city and one of the fastest growing cities in India. It is a center of both traditional and modern industries, and is a very popular tourist destination for cultural heritage and historic architecture. The population of Jaipur city was 3.1 million in 2011, and it is projected to reach 8.1 million by 2031.  The fast-paced industrial and commercial development has resulted in a steep rise in travel demand, but the city's existing public transport infrastructure is inadequate in terms of capacity and service. With the growing economy, passengers are shifting to private modes of transport, as evident in the rise in vehicle ownership, aggravating congestion and pollution. The modal share for public transport was 19% in 2009, one of the lowest in cities with more than 3 million inhabitants in India.

In 2009, Jaipur Development Authority developed a comprehensive mobility plan, seeking to provide an overall transport plan, up to 2031, that emphasizes the preeminence of public transport for the movement of people, not just vehicles, and integrating land use with transport networks.  It prioritized mobility corridors, which can be utilized to optimize movement of people, focusing on mass transport, rather than vehicular traffic  and identified solutions including bus fleet augmentation, bus rapid transit system, and a high-capacity rail-based system (metro). The city bus fleet has been augmented with modern buses and the bus rapid transit system is being introduced.  However, the main road corridors cannot accommodate segregated bus lanes, while the city's radial development pattern is generating high demand for trips to and from the central business and commercial districts. To meet the increasing mobility requirement and avoid further congestion, high capacity metro lines were recommended along the city's two backbone arterial corridors. These consist of Line 1 for the east-west corridor of 12 km from Mansarovar to Badi Chopar, and Line 2 for the north-south corridor of 23 km from Ambabadi to Sitapura. The metro lines are mainly elevated along the major arterial roads and underground beneath the city's busy central zone.

In January 2010, the government of Rajasthan established the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) as a special purpose vehicle to implement the metro rail lines. Line 1-Phase A (9.7 km elevated portion from Mansarovar to Chandpole), estimated to cost about $400 million and financed entirely by the government, was completed in 2014 and began commercial operation in June 2015. The proposed ADB loan is to help finance Line 1-Phase B, consisting of the 2.3 km underground portion from Chandpole to Badi Chopar, with two stations for completion and operation by early 2018. Line 2 for the north-south corridor is being planned, and the proposed financing includes consulting services for JMRC to update the detailed project report, which includes updating traffic demand, reviewing route selection, the preliminary engineering and cost estimate, and assessing economic and financial viability. It will help JMRC identify viable financing options and implementation arrangements to take the next steps toward achieving comprehensive improvements for the mass rapid transit system in Jaipur.

These will be achieved by replacing diesel power with solar power in Funafuti and three outer islands, and by installing a large battery energy storage system (BESS) in Funafuti.  

Strengthened Public Financial Management Program. The focus of ADB's program the Strengthened Public Financial Management Program (SPFMP) is consistent with the objectives of Tuvalu's National Strategy for Sustainable Development 2005-2015, known as Te Kakeega II, and ADB's Pacific Approach 2010-2014, which aims to achieve sound macroeconomic and fiscal management, and strengthened and improved public enterprise management.    The program will assist the government to address key issues affecting fiscal sustainability, specifically, weak budget credibility and poorly performing public enterprises. The SPFMP will continue ADB's support for strengthening public sector management and the environment for private sector development in Tuvalu areas of historical ADB involvement. Other development partners will focus their respective budget support programs on reforms in the health and education sectors. Appendix 1 provides basic program information.

The SPFMP will be supported by ADB technical assistance (TA) (funding of US$300,000), which is expected to be approved in June 2012. Advisors from the Pacific Economic Management (PEM) , and Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) regional TA projects, as well as from the IMF's Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Center (PFTAC) will also help the government to accomplish the policy actions contained in the program (and highlighted in Table 2, below). 

The SPFMP builds on lessons and outcomes of the Improved Financial Management Program (IFMP), which was ADB's first budget support operation in Tuvalu (albeit a programmatic budget support operation with multiple tranches).  This program was aimed at strengthening the governance framework for Tuvalu's public enterprises, improving the government's capacity for oversight, strengthening capacity to manage debt, and reducing the government's debt to the National Bank of Tuvalu (NBT). The IFMP was instrumental in helping the government to implement several substantive reform actions including:

-improved debt management capability via the approval of a debt risk management and mitigation policy and strategy 
-strengthened oversight of public enterprises via approval of a public enterprise governance reform strategic policy and the enactment of the Public Enterprise (Performance and Accountability) Act 2009  and
-strengthened management capacity in public enterprises via approval of an asset/liability management (liquidity) policy and a loan grading policy for NBT that allows timely collection of past due loans and advances of credit, and measuring, monitoring and maintaining adequate liquidity. The Banking Commission Act 2011, which provided the legal framework for the licensing and on-going supervision and regulation of banking institutions in Tuvalu based on the Basel core principles for effective banking supervision, was also approved by Parliament in 2011.

SECURED LOAN REPUBLIC OF THE MALDIVES: SOUTH ASIAN SME LEASING FACILITY. The proposed ADB assistance is expected to strengthen the leasing industry further and expand the funding resources and financial services available to the SME sector in the two countries. The activity of leasing companies in Sri Lanka and the Maldives is constrained by the need to borrow at short maturity to fund a business that lends at a longer maturity. The underdeveloped nature of corporate debt markets in both countries has made nonbank leasing firms heavily dependent on commercial banks for their funding through short-term borrowings and commercial paper. This has resulted in maturity mismatches in assets and liabilities and higher costs of funds for these institutions.

The proposed loans from ADB to the two companies will provide them access to long- term funds and thereby enable them to promote alternative financing instruments to SME entrepreneurs, promote their operations and profitability, and enhance their competitiveness.  

Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development Project - Additional Financing.

Inclusive Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development Project. The proposed project intends to develop and expand the micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) subsector leading to broad-based, private sector-led, and sustainable inclusive growth. MSME development was a part of the development strategy for Maldives under the 7th National Plan 2006-2010. MSMEDP will focus on enhancing the business environment and support infrastructure for doing business with better knowledge, greater access to financing, and expanded business opportunities for MSMEs. 
The proposed Inclusive MSME Development Project will promote economic and financial inclusion in the Maldives by enhancing economic activities including those in the remote islands through more opportunities and access to finance for MSMEs which will thereby contribute to private sector development and overall growth.  

Accelerating Sustainable System Development Using Renewable Energy Project. The Maldives has significant renewable energy resources, i.e., the potential to generate solar power, ocean energy and in some pockets, wind power. To improve energy security, the government has committed to increase the use of renewable energy and promote energy efficiency. In 2014, the government has initiated two major programs (i) Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development (POISED) supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to introduce solar photovoltaic battery-based hybrid systems in outer islands  and (ii) Accelerating Sustainable Private Investments in Renewable Energy supported by World Bank to mobilize private sector investments in solar photovoltaic in greater Male region.The POISED project was approved by ADB's Board of Directors on 29 September 2014 and is one of the largest renewable energy sector interventions in Maldives. The project finances the replacement of inefficient diesel-based power generation grids in 160 outer islands of Maldives and in Male with renewable-energy-ready grid systems, energy management systems, upgraded distribution grids including online monitoring and supervisory control systems. These interventions will contribute to reducing the cost of electricity, the subsidy burden on the government budget, and emissions, and will diversify the power generation mix. ADB also approved a second additional financing on 30 October 2020 to expand the POISED project. The POISED project has played a vital role in escalating the penetration of renewable energy and the project has installed more than 10.5 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity, 5.6 megawatt-hours of battery storage, and 11.6 MW of energy-efficient diesel generators and associated investments covering 70 outer islands across eight atolls. The implementation is in various stages for remaining 90 islands.

COVID-19: Emergency Response. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus in the same family that caused the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in 2012. Epidemiological evidence shows that COVID-19 can be transmitted from one individual to another, likely through droplets, personal contact, and contaminated objects. On 11 March 2020, WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. As of 21 March 2020, WHO estimated that more than 266,073 have been infected and over 11,184 deaths have been recorded in 156 countries. 

In Maldives, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) reported its first case of COVID-19 on 7 March 2020. As of 19 March 2020, the number of confirmed cases has reached 13 from resort islands and safari vessels,  with five patients being hospitalized. Eighty-two persons are in quarantine facilities, 15 in isolation and still under investigation. A State of Public Health Emergency was declared by the Minister of Health for a period of 30 days from 12 March 2020. The National Emergency Operation Centre has been set up as defined in the National Health Emergency Operation Plan and standard operating procedures have been activated with the declaration of public health emergency in the country. A number of response measures are in place including border controls, social distancing, closure of schools and educational establishments, contact screening, the deployment of a rapid response team for risk assessment of the confirmed case settings, quarantine of high-risk cases, and isolation of suspected cases. While the state of emergency imposes measures to strengthen containment of the disease, there is no restriction for tourists to enter the country, in general, except for countries identified by the government of Maldives for temporary suspension of travelers. This increases the risk of imported cases and the spread of the disease across the islands.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The CARES Program is to provide budget support to the government for implementing its countercyclical expenditure program for mitigating the adverse social and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support Program (Subprogram 2). The Recovery through Improved Systems and Expenditure Support (RISES) Program comprises two subprograms supporting public sector management reforms that will facilitate Palau's recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. Subprogram 2 deepens and implements reforms initiated under subprogram 1, which was approved on 23 April 2021. Overall, the program seeks to (i) strengthen the policy and legislative framework for public financial management  (ii) reduce fiscal risks from weak management of public revenue, expenditure, and liabilities  and (iii) support private sector development, toward restoring sustained and equitable economic growth. Under subprogram 2, ADB supports 10 prior actions, all of which have been completed. The proposed budget support amount is $30 million (regular OCR) under subprogram 2 in FY2022, which along with the $25 million ($20 million COL and $5 million OCR) approved under subprogram 1, brings ADB's total financing under this program to $55 million.

Although Palau demonstrated sound macro-fiscal management by maintaining annual fiscal surpluses averaging 3.0% of GDP during FY2011FY2019, the lingering impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic have heightened fiscal risks that can constrain sustainable recovery. Recognizing these risks, the government has developed an ambitious reform agenda comprising critical policy reforms to, among others: develop an overarching fiscal responsibility legislation and a corresponding medium-term fiscal strategy  implement a comprehensive tax reform package to modernize and increase the efficiency of Palau's tax system  and strengthen the legal and institutional frameworks for international commercial arbitration, public-private partnerships, and business registrations. The RISES Program aligns with and supports government's broad-ranging reform agenda to help shift Palau's economic recovery onto a more sustainable path.  

Palau Public Utilities Corporation Reform Program (Subprogram 2). The program aims to strengthen state-owned enterprises in Palau by improving the corporate governance and financial management of Palau?s electricity and water utility company, Palau Public Utilities Corporation, and providing an enabling environment for private sector participation in the electricity and water subsectors in Palau. The program will support the government?s long-term reforms in electricity and water and sanitation.

REG: TRADE FINANCE FACILITATION PROGRAM. ADB's TFP increases access to trade finance and therefore provides support for international trade in the most challenging markets. 

The TFP works exclusively through commercial banks.  As such, and in addition to supporting trade, the TFP also seeks to develop the capability of local banks to provide trade finance products to importers and exporters. 

By providing guarantees and liquidity, even during crisis, the TFP helps provide stability to the trade finance system.  The Trade Finance Program (TFP) closes market gaps for trade finance by providing guarantees and loans to partner banks to support trade. Drawing the private sector into developing countries is important to closing gaps and TFP is the biggest mobilizer of private sector financing at ADB. In addition to doing transactions TFP provides a number of 'knowledge products' which contribute to closing financing gaps. More information can be found at www.adb.org/tfp.

Rajasthan Urban Sector Development Investment Program - Tranche 2. Urban development for economic growth is a universal strategy of the Government of India as its 10th Five-Year Plan [FYP], 2002-2007, and 11th FYP, 2007-2012, show. The strategy is spearheaded by such urban development schemes as the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and its subcomponent the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns. Apart from supporting the Government's priority of planned development of urban centers in the country, the Investment Program is also aligned with the objectives of fostering economic growth and reducing poverty in Rajasthan. The fast growing sectors in Rajasthan are mostly in urban areas, where productivity is 3.5 times higher than in rural areas. 

The emphasis on urban development in Rajasthan, financial reforms and the passage of the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act in 1992, which laid the basis for decentralization in the urban sector, have made some improvements, but large inefficiencies in service delivery, low investment in wider service coverage, and poor maintenance persist.

The Investment Program and its road map are guided by the 10th FYP 2002-2007 and 11th FYP 2007-2012 of the Government of India. (See the Framework Financing Agreement for the Investment Program, Schedule 1) The Investment Program links capital investments to reforms for sustainable impact. It targets medium size towns with economic growth and tourism potentials, while maintaining regional balance.

Himachal Pradesh Subtropical Horticulture, Irrigation, and Value Addition Project. Himachal Pradesh is a small state with more than 50% of its areas in mountains and less than 10% in cultivation. The state's economic growth in the 1990s was driven by agriculture and its allied activities, but has gradually shifted to the industrial/manufacturing and services sectors. Still, Himachal Pradesh is the only state in India where 90% of the state's population live in rural areas and nearly 62% of the state population relies on agriculture and its allied sectors for employment. Despite the importance of agriculture in the livelihood of large rural population, there is a distinct agricultural development gap between the northern (or temperate horticulture areas) and southern (or subtropical horticulture areas) parts of Himachal Pradesh. Subtropical horticulture farmers earn only $116 per month while temperate horticulture farmers earn about $1,550 per month. Temperate horticulture in northern Himachal Pradesh has been dominated by the production of apple, which is the most important fruit crop for the state accounting for 79% of the state's fruit production in 2017 -2018. The state recognizes the need to diversity horticulture production. This is because apple production fluctuates due to weather and changing markets, and the potential to reduce income disparity between the northern and southern parts of Himachal Pradesh, benefiting from accessing off-season markets of other fruits and vegetables in the subtropical area. The State Government of Himachal Pradesh requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support development of horticulture in subtropical areas of the state, and reduce income gap between farmers in subtropical and temperate horticulture regions.  

Power Sector Reform Program (Subprogram 1). The proposed programmatic approach Policy-Based Loan (PBL) will support the urgently required electricity sector reforms to restore the financial viability in electricity distribution in an inclusive manner, improve quality of service and private sector participation and contribute to climate change mitigation by facilitating renewable energy integration.  

Railway Sector Investment Program - Tranche 1. ADB and the Government of India are working together to make the country's train system safer, more efficient and able to handle greater amounts of passengers and freight. The Railway Sector Investment Program is building second tracks alongside 840 kilometers of existing rail systems, essentially doubling the capacity of high-density routes. Another 640 kilometers of track will have electrification systems added. This is increasing the capacity of India's rail system. It is also increasing efficiency by installing modern signaling systems, and working to reform the accounting system. The result of the work is that India's trains are using less fuel, creating less pollution, keeping closer to schedules and costing customers less.  

Assam Power Sector Investment Program - Tranche 3.

The project will use the hydropower potential of the Kopili River, a south bank tributary of the Brahmaputra river. LKHEP is designed to operate as a run-of-river power plant with diurnal storage with a total capacity of 120 megawatts (MW), comprising a main plant rated at 110 MW and an auxiliary plant rated at 10 MW.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support (CARES) Program, under the Countercyclical Support Facility COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option (CPRO) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will provide critically needed support to help the government mitigate the severe health, social, and economic impact caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. ADB's support will allow the government to undertake public expenditures that are essential for supporting vulnerable populations and curtailing spread of the disease.

The ADB CARES Program will contribute directly to the immediate priorities in government's response to the pandemic- the need to improve access to health facilities and care, and protect the weakest economic section of the population and disadvantaged groups. It will contribute to the government's efforts in containing COVID-19 and treating infected people, for free, thus protecting the lives of the poor and vulnerable and preventing them from falling deeper into poverty because of medical expenses. The program also targets providing social assistance and protection over 3 months to more than 800 million people, including families below poverty line, farmers, health care workers, women, women's self-help groups, widows, senior citizens, people with disabilities, low wage earners, and construction workers. Beneficiaries will be reached through established channels under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY), or the Prime Minister's Welfare Scheme for the Poor. Food, gas, and cash for the affected and vulnerable beneficiaries will help them endure the shocks induced by the lockdown. Support in these areas will help a quicker economic recovery when the lockdown is eased. Any further fiscal stimulus will be sub-optimal if these urgent concerns are not addressed. The numbers of beneficiaries are detailed in the government's COVID-19 Response Program.  

Himachal Pradesh Rural Drinking Water Improvement and Livelihood Project. The project will provide safe, sustainable, gender-responsive, and inclusive rural water supply and rural sanitation services for about 620,000 people in 10 districts of Himachal Pradesh.

The Investment Program will ensure that the benefits from investments are enjoyed by the poor, women and all other vulnerable groups, and that any negative environmental and social impacts are alleviated.  

Kolkata Environmental Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 1. Kolkata is the largest city in the state of West Bengal and the seventh largest in India. It has a population of 4.5 million and contributes at least 13% of West Bengal's gross domestic product. The city is and will remain the dominant commercial and financial hub in the state. Although its livability has improved, the quality of basic urban services remains below national standards. The gap is particularly noticeable in water supply and sewerage services in regard to coverage, continuity, and quality. This affects the city's ability to attract investment, facilitate trade, and create jobs, as well as its productivity, its competitiveness, and, most importantly, its quality of life and welfare. Investment and policy gaps hinder how effectively and efficiently institutions deliver services, and how well the policy framework creates an enabling environment for better service delivery and sustainability. These limitations have been manageable, but Kolkata's expanding economy and deficient investment and maintenance over the years have made narrowing the gaps more urgent. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), created to administer the city under the KMC Act in 1980, is responsible for delivering water and sewerage services. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been working with KMC since 2000, but only regarding sewerage.  The partnership has yielded good results. KMC has a strategy, sector road map, policy framework, and investment plan to address gaps in operational efficiency, institutional effectiveness, policy, and sustainability.  The investment program combines physical and other investments. KMC wants ADB to continue its role as a key financing and advisory partner.

The Project proposed for financing under the Periodic Financing Request will deliver three outputs: 
(i) Inefficient water supply assets rehabilitated 
(ii) Sewerage and extension to peripheral areas continued  and
(iii) Financial and project management capacity further developed.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Road Connectivity Investment Program - Tranche 1.

Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission and Distribution System Improvement Project. Madhya Pradesh power transmission and distribution system served a peak demand of 8,505 megawatt (MW) and delivered 41,392 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2012. However, the estimated peak demand was 9,151 MW, resulting in an unmet energy demand of 8,393 GWh (20% of the requirement). There are 8.21 million electricity customers in the state, of which 6.1 million were household customers with a legal power connection, representing about 60% of all households. New power connections are provided to households under a number of programs, and consumption per customer is also expected to increase in the face of robust economic growth in the state. Therefore, the demand for electricity is expected to increase and meeting this growing demand requires upgrading and expansion of the transmission and distribution network in the state.

Quality of power supply and reliability of service in MP used to be substantially below the standards expected of a modern public electricity network. The Asian Development Bank (ADB), other development partners, and the government undertook a series of investments for expansion, upgrading and reconfiguration of the transmission and distribution networks since 2001. The ADB alone has approved about $1.37 billion worth of investment projects since 2001, mainly for transmission and distribution improvements. The government's own programs includes: (i) Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) program for rural electrification  (ii) the Restructured Accelerated Power Development Reforms Program (R-APDRP), to improve electricity distribution infrastructure in urban areas  and (iii) Feeder Separation Program to limit agricultural supply to 8 hours and to provide rural households with 24-hour power supply. While the RGGVY and R-APDRP programs are nearing their completion, the feeder separation program is half way through its implementation.

In order to facilitate transfer of renewable energy from the renewable energy rich states to other states, as well as absorption and smoothing out of the intermittency from such power sources, Powergrid has identified requisite investments in a phased approach to commence during the 12th Five Year Plan. 

Madhya Pradesh District Connectivity Sector Project. ADB and the Government of India are working together to upgrade district roads in India's Madhya Pradesh state in a project which will tackle an important link in road improvements. The Madhya Pradesh District Connectivity Sector Project is ADB's first in the district roads sector in India. These secondary roads provide a key link between rural roads and state highways, but they are often neglected in road network upgrade programs. The project is upgrading about 1,600 kilometers of major district roads through lane widening, surface improvements, and strengthening of culverts and bridges. This is helping to cut travel times, improve traffic flow and road safety, and provide better access to markets and social services for poor and remote communities. Performance-based maintenance contracts are included to ensure that the roads are built to high standards and well maintained. The project roads are also covered under an accident response system being developed in the state that is financing the immediate hospital treatment costs for road accident victims. The project is also having a direct impact on the poor by providing better access to markets and social services for remote communities.  

COVID-19: Responsive COVID-19 Vaccines for Recovery Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The project will benefit significantly from an abbreviated consideration period by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Board of Directors since it supports the Government of India?s rapid vaccination rollout to contain the ongoing pandemic and the severity of a possible third wave as well as the loss of lives. The government has already placed orders for APVAX-eligible vaccines and incurred substantial costs from the accelerated pace of vaccination since August 2021.  Timely ADB support would add value by helping meet urgent financing needs for delivering APVAX eligible vaccines for priority population, and allow government resources to procure the planned non-APVAX eligible vaccines.  Vaccine financing would also safeguard essential expenditure on emergency response needs, strengthen the resilience of health systems, and contribute to the country?s commitment to an earlier resumption of vaccine export. 

The project will provide the government with timely financing to procure safe and effective coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines based on an agreed list of eligible expenditures under the rapid response component (RRC) of the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX). Ongoing technical assistance (TA) will complement the project by strengthening the vaccine delivery system.

Rural Connectivity Investment Program - Tranche 1. The components proposed for financing under the requested PFR include Road Connectivity and Capacity Building. 

A. Road Connectivity component
	
This comprises construction of rural roads that are part of the PMGSY to provide connectivity to all habitations of population of 500 persons (250 or more in hilly or desert areas, or scheduled tribe areas) or more with all weather roads. Subprojects covering about 3,461 km in total (342 km in Assam, 1,008 km in Chhattisgarh, 1,187 km in Madhya Pradesh, 757 km in Odisha, and 167 km in West Bengal) are proposed to be taken up in the 1st PFR. 

B. Capacity Building component

This component will include (i) support to the establishment of Rural Connectivity Training and Research Centers (RCTRCs)  (ii) support to the establishing of Rural Road Network Management Units (RRNMUs) in each participating state  (iii) assistance to the MORD/NRRDA and state governments in implementation of the additional policy, and administrative requirements inherent to ADB-assisted projects  and (iv) additional support in operation, monitoring, evaluation and risk management. 

One RCTRC and one pilot RRNMU will be established in each state under PFR 1. The support will include construction of modern field offices, including laboratories and providing all necessary state-of-the art equipment, system and tools. Support to RCTRCs will also include consulting services to assist staff in rolling out systematic and large scale training in participating states and support RCTRCs in research and compiling best practices and experiences in rural roads. 

Assistance to the MORD/NRRDA and state governments to comply with administrative requirements inherent to ADB-assisted projects, and additional support in operation, monitoring, evaluation and risk management will be provided through the engagement of a Project Implementation Consultant (PIC) engaged and financed by the Government of India, and Technical Support Consultant (TSC) engaged by NRRDA and financed by ADB.  

Uttarakhand Integrated and Resilient Urban Development Project - Additional Financing. The overall project's impacts remain unchanged from those of the ongoing project. The project is aligned with the following impacts: (i) universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water improved, and (ii) access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene enhanced to end open defecation. The overall project will have the same outcome and will include the names of the additional project towns under the additional financing. The additional financing will have the following outcome: reliability and efficiency of resilient WSS services in Dehradun, Haldwani, Nainital, and Tanakpur enhanced. The overall project has the same four outputs but is modified to reflect additional towns under the additional financing. Only the additional components under each output of the additional financing are described below.Output 1: Resilient water supply system and service in Haldwani, and Tanakpur improved. By 2030, the additional financing will construct about 817 kilometers (km) of piped water supply networks in the western part of Haldwani and the entire town of Tanakpur to replace the existing 209.8 km water supply network, which has significant leakage. The new network will ensure a reliable and quality 24-hour continuous water supply system with a standard of 135 lpcd. The additional financing will provide water meters to about 45,000 household connections, enabling more efficient water use and volumetric billing, including for at least 90% of identified poor and vulnerable household consumers. This will reduce NRW in the project area from 45%-50% to at most 25%, which exceeds the state's performance standard. To further advance NRW management, AIB leak detection technologies and data management platforms will be deployed in all water supply systems under the ongoing project and the additional financing. The AIB leak detection devices can monitor leakage sounds and can be operated by unskilled community women, reducing the requirement to use skilled water leak technicians, which will be time- and resource-efficient and cost-effective. When properly used AIB devices are more reliable and accurate than human detection, as exact locations and the scale of leakage can be identified, eliminating human errors. The inclusion in all water supply works contracts of sustainable materials such as low-carbon cement, highly energy-efficient equipment, and incentivized performance payments for asset management will contribute to climate change mitigation and high-quality and sophisticated asset management throughout the long-term O&M period. Output 2: Integrated and resilient sanitation systems and drainage established in Dehradun and Haldwani. By 2030, The additional financing will construct (i) one sewage treatment plant with a total treatment capacity of 10 million liters per day  (ii) 268 km of sewer networks to minimize greenhouse gas emissions from untreated wastewater  (iii) about 99 km of stormwater drainage networks that take into account projected flood events  and (iv) 12,000 household sewer connections in Dehradun and Haldwani, including at least 90% of identified poor and vulnerable households. The use of advanced sewage treatment technology will ensure quality sanitation system development while contributing to additional greenhouse mitigation. The additional financing will include fecal sludge and septage management (FSSM) for households not connected to sewer networks within the project areas to enhance citywide inclusive sanitation provision. The sewage treatment plant will be equipped with a co-treatment facility for treating fecal sludge and septage, meaning the regular sewage treatment process will not be disrupted. In addition, low-carbon cement will be used in all the sanitation work contracts because the low-carbon cement market in India is mature.Output 3: Computerized maintenance and management systems for water and sanitation developed and implemented in Haldwani and Tanakpur. By 2029, CMMSs will be installed in Haldwani WSS and Tanakpur water supply to advance the O&M performance and management of WSS assets. The CMMSs will connect various smart platforms-such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), geographic information system (GIS), and AIB leak detection technologies and data management platforms-and process and translate data from these platforms into user-friendly CMMS functions for (i) recording and presenting the operational status  (ii) scheduling and tracking inspections  (iii) planning, implementing, and reporting the results of preventive maintenance  (iv) generating status reports  (v) managing fixed assets across multiple sites  (vi) managing inventory, work orders, and contracts  and (vii) providing customer services through consumer data management systems that will be established. At least an additional 20 staff, including 10 female staff from utility operators and two ULBs, will be provided training on CMMS use.Output 4: Institutional capacity and knowledge strengthened. The additional financing will support institutional and governance reforms to enhance the financial management of ULBs, strengthen ULBs' revenue systems, enable effective urban planning and development, and improve the provision of urban services with strong ownership. The additional financing will also expand the activities of the ongoing project by (i) providing training on customized WSS O&M manuals and the CMMS  (ii) carrying out community awareness, participation, and behavioral change programs that promote water conservation  sound public health and hygiene practices  waste reduction  and safe, clean, and healthy community environments  and (iii) expanding target numbers for the gender assessment and action plan to include additional ULBs and introduce new activities, including (a) engagement of women self-help group (SHG) members in water bill collection and/or distribution in at least five wards in Haldwani, and (b) conducting awareness campaigns to reach at least 300 women in the four project towns on menstrual hygiene and safe disposal of menstrual and sanitary waste by training women SHG members.  

Rural Connectivity Investment Program - Tranche 2. The project is the second tranche under MFF0069-IND: Rural Connectivity Investment Program (RCIP), which will address the lack of adequate coverage in terms of all-weather road connectivity. Poverty head count rates in these states are among the highest in India. The project will contribute to the reduction of poverty and deprivation, and to inclusive socio-economic growth in the communities served in Assam, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal.  

Kerala Sustainable Urban Development (formerly Urban Infrastructure Development and Environment II). The expected impact of the Project is increased growth potential of and reduced poverty in the Project cities. The expected outcome of the Project is improved urban environment, economy, and living conditions for the 2.6 million people living the five Project cities. To this end, the Project will (i) improve and expand urban infrastructure and services  (ii) enhance livelihoods  and (iii) improve urban management, planning, and financing capacity of the setor institutions especially the MCs to ensure sustainable provision of urban infrastructure and services.  

Supporting National Urban Health Mission. ADB is reinforcing the efforts of Government of India to improve the health of people who live in cities, especially the poor. The project is strengthening broadly-defined urban health systems across cities and towns to deliver quality essential health services for all, with a particular focus on the poor and vulnerable. The project is improving the networks of primary health facilities in urban areas and introducing a quality assurance mechanism for them. It is also helping to improve planning, management, and innovation, in order to bring best practices to city clinics and health centers. The financing for the project is being disbursed based on the achievement of results, including more births in health facilities and higher childhood immunization rates.  

Uttarakhand Emergency Assistance Project. The emergency loan will help economic and social recovery in Uttarakhand in the aftermath of the June 2013 disaster. The outcome will be the rehabilitation of basic public and social infrastructure, as well as improvements to disaster preparedness, project management and institutional effectiveness.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Uttarakhand State-Road Investment Program (Subproject 2). Uttarakhand State Road Investment Program -Project 2 will help the State of Uttarakhand to (i) improve a sub-network of roads totaling about 898 kilometers  (ii) undertake business process re-engineering of Public Works Department (PWD)  and (iii) increase PWD staff's asset management skills.  

Madhya Pradesh Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 2. Adequate and better quality power supply in rural Madhya Pradesh (MP), where 70% of the population lives, would spur economic growth and development. In order to ensure good quality, 24 hour power supply to rural households, Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) has been undertaking a distribution improvement program (feeder separation program) with an approximate cost of $1100 million. The first phase of this program is already under implementation and the proposed Facility provides financial assistance to the investment program that constitutes the second phase. The investment program will install separate feeders  for households and irrigation water pumps, install high voltage distribution systems (HVDS), provide new power connections, install meters, map the assets of the distribution companies and undertake network analysis to ensure better quality power supply to households and financial sustainability of the distribution companies.  Of the total of 50 districts of MP, the investment program covers 32 districts served by three distribution companies: Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Limited (DISCOM-C)  Madhya Pradesh Poorva Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Limited (DISCOM-E)  and Madhya Pradesh Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Limited (DISCOM-W).  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Development Investment Program - Tranche 3. Himachal Pradesh is a mountainous state with abundant water resources in the five major rivers flowing through the state from the western Himalayas. The power generation potential of Himachal Pradesh is about 23,000 MW - about one fourth of India's total hydropower potential - out of which about 6,480 MW has been developed. Recognizing the state's comparative advantage in hydropower generation, the main strategy of the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GOHP) is the development of Himachal Pradesh as the "hydropower state" of India. Harnessing this hydropower is vital to meet all in-state demand by providing affordable, reliable power to its residents as the state currently meets only about 50% of its power demand through its own power generating capacity. Harnessing this hydropower will also enable the export of excess power to the rest of the country for the benefit of power deficient states. Himachal Pradesh's focus on clean energy development will provide jobs to state residents and will further the country's goal of meeting its energy needs through treading a low carbon path. Furthermore, the Program will meet capacity development needs to further improve the state's power sector.  

Smartchem Climate-Smart High-Efficiency Crop Nutrition Project. The project will support farmers to adopt enhanced efficiency speciality fertilizers (EESF), such as slow and controlled release fertilizers and water soluble fertilizers, which will in-turn aid increased food production towards increased farmer income and food security in India. Higher efficiency in nutrient delivery will result in increased agricultural productivity, reduced water and soil contamination, and improved resilience to climate change. The project will also support energy efficiency capex and gender inclusion. The project is fully aligned with the Government of India's goals to enhance agricultural productivity and increase farmers' incomes. The TA will focus on building the climate resilient soil management skills and financial literacy of 1,800 farmers.  

IND: EREN EDF Solar Power (EDEN Mumbai Solar Private Limited). The Project involves the development of 200MW solar photovoltaic power projects by ACME Solar Energy Private Limited during 2014-2016. ACME Solar Energy Private Limited is owned by the ACME group, EDF Energies Nouvelles and EREN S.A. Five projects for a total 100MW (20MW x 5) have so far been identified for 5 SPVs, namely ACME Gurgaon Power Private Limited, ACME Mumbai Power Private Limited, ACME Rajdhani Power Private Limited, Medha Energy Private Limited, and Ranji Solar Energy Private Limited, for which ADB is lending $50 million. In 2016, ACME Solar Energy Private Limited sold its ownership interest to the other two shareholders. As a result, the projects are now jointly owned by EDF Energies Nouvelles S.A. and EREN Renewable Energy S.A. SPV names were changed to EDEN Solar Energy Gurgaon Private Limited, EDEN Mumbai Solar Private Limited, EDEN Solar Rajdhani Private Limited, Medha Energy Private Limited (no change), and EDEN Renewable Ranji Private Limited, respectively.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Assam Integrated Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Investment Program - Tranche 1. The components for financing under the Project are (i) development of flood and riverbank erosion risk management (FRERM) planning, institutional and knowledge bases, (ii)establishment of comprehensive FRERM systems (in particular, the Project will support the priority interventions to strengthen the FRERM systems of the 3 subproject area, viz., Dibrugarh in Dibrugarh district, Kaziranga in Golaghat district, and Palasbari-Gumi in Kamrup district), and (iii) provision of multidisciplinary project management systems.  

Maharashtra Rural High Voltage Distribution System Expansion Program. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has financed HVDS projects in India for reliable supply to rural customers through conventional project loan or program loan approach.   Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and Government of Maharashtra (GOM) have requested the result-based lending (RBL) approach. The RBL is suitable for the following reasons (i) it uses MSEDCL's systems  that contribute to institutional strengthening beyond the RBL  (ii) strong government interest and ownership of the rural electrification program  (iii) it would help lower transaction costs for over 600 small-scale contracts during implementation  and (iv) the focus on results and the government's willingness to link disbursements to results.  

Accelerating Infrastructure Investment Facility in India - Tranche 1. Project 1 (Tranche 1) involves a financial intermediary loan of $400 million from the ordinary capital resources of the Asian Development Bank to India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited, to be guaranteed by India, to support renewed government efforts to accelerate infrastructure growth through increased private sector investment given competing pressures on fiscal resources.

The loan supports for financing of public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects through (i) direct lending  (ii) take-out financing  and (iii) subordinate debt, all in line with IIFCL's operational mandates.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Uttarakhand Power Sector Investment Program - Project 2. The Project will assist in construction of the approximately 90 kilometer 400 KV D/C Loharinagpala-Koteshwar transmission line.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Development Investment Program -Tranche 2. Tranche 2 investments will include the final contract package for the 111 MW Sawra Kuddu project that was not included in Tranche 1, consisting of certain civil works (diversion barrage, power intake and desanding arrangements).  Harnessing this hydropower is vital to meet all in-state electricity demand by providng affordable, reliable power to its residents, as the state currently meets only about 50% of its power demand through its own power generating capacity.  Harnessing this hydropower will also enable the export of excess power to the rest of the country for the benefit of poorer and power deficient states.  Himachal Pradesh's focus on clean energy development will provide jobs to state residents and will furher the country's goal of meeting its energy through clean, indigenous sources.  

Public-Private Partnership in Madhya Pradesh Road Sector Project. The proposed project will improve transport connectivity in Madhya Pradesh by rehabilitating and upgrading about 1,600 kilometers of state highways and major district roads (MDRs). It will involve upgrading newly declared state highways and single-lane MDRs to two-lane width. The project will be implemented under the hybrid-annuity model (HAM), which is a form of public-private partnership. This will be the first HAM project by the executing agency and will pave the way for increased investment in the transport sector by mobilizing private sector participation.  

Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor Development Program - Project 1. The Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor Development Program (VCICDP) will complement the ongoing efforts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) to enhance industrial growth and create high quality jobs. The VCICDP comprises a multitranche financing facility (MFF), a grant, and a policy-based loan (PBL). The MFF and the grant will support priority infrastructure investments in the Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC), and the PBL will support policy reforms and institutional development in the state.  

National Highway Sector II. The main objective of the proposed Project is to improve transport efficiency leading to expanded economic opportunities. This objective will be achieved through the following components: (i) Institutional Strengthening - strengthening the National Highways Authority of India's capacity for national highway development and operation and maintenance  (ii) Highway Development Component - upgrading and increasing the capacity of 566 km of key national arterial corridors, particularly the north-south corridor  (iii) Road Safety Component - improving road safety along the road-safety zone  and (iv) HIV-AIDS and Human Trafficking Awareness Component - preventing spread of HIV/AIDS and human trafficking along the project highways.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Biodiversity Conservation Corridors Project (Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, and Viet Nam). The Project will enhance transboundary cooperation for preventing and mitigating fragmentation of biodiversity rich forest landscapes of the Cardamom Mountains and Eastern Plains Dry Forest in Cambodia, Triborder Forest areas located in southern Lao PDR, and the Central Annamites in Viet Nam.  

Secondary Education Sector Development Program (formerly Basic Education Sector Development Program II). The Secondary Education Sector Development Program (SESDP) is a sector development program (SDP), consisting of (i) a program loan  and (ii) a project grant.  The program loan supports key policy reform actions focused on strengthening the secondary education subsector (SES) -- which consists of lower secondary and upper secondary education (LSE and USE) -- throughout the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR).  The project grant finances investments that directly link to and support delivery on those policy actions and ensure they are effectively operationalized. Complementary program and project components collectively address key priorities related to equitable access, quality and relevance, and subsector management in SES. While support under SESDP's program and project components is principally national/nationwide in scope, project investments to expand access principally target 30 selected districts that are simultaneously classified by the government as "poorest"and "educationally disadvantaged".

The Program design directly supports the Ministry of Education in operationalizing the government's reform agenda and programs to strengthen education (with a focus on SES), including key targets set for SES under the Education Sector Development Framework (ESDF).  Aligned with Lao PDR's ongoing SES reform agenda and ESDF's 3 pillars, the Program (including complementary policy program and investment project interventions) will deliver 3 core outputs: (i) expanded access to secondary education  (ii) improved delivery of new secondary education curricula  and (iii) strengthened SES management.  

Cambodia/Lao People's Democratic Republic: Trade Facilitation: Improved Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Handling in Greater Mekong Subregion Trade Project. The project will strengthen institutions and operational and management capacities in Cambodia and the Lao PDR for operating cost-effective SPS systems that facilitate trade and protect health.2 The project will focus on GMS trade in agriculture, food, and forestry (AFF) products for which SPS measures for plant health, animal health, and food safety apply. The project will establish, strengthen, and implement (i) surveillance and inspection programs for plant health, animal health, and food safety  (ii) enhanced education levels and university training of SPS specialists  and (iii) regional cooperation and harmonization for SPS measures and practices. It will selectively strengthen food safety capacities of private food handling enterprises and restaurants in tourist areas. The project will be implemented by the national authorities in each country.  

Health Sector Governance Program. The program will (i) support the government to increase the number of HEF and free MNCH beneficiaries, and to implement health-related human resource and financial management reforms  and (ii) support chronologically sequenced reforms in line with the HSRS implementation plan. The proposed modality combines a programmatic approach designed to support government reforms with a TA loan to build national and subnational capacity to implement reforms. The programmatic approach is designed to provide more effective and flexible ways to translate complex structural reform objectives into implementable policy actions.

The programmatic approach comprises two subprograms that facilitate a concerted policy dialogue on the basis of an agreed policy matrix related to key health governance reforms and sector priorities. The program policy matrix includes reforms completed prior to consideration of subprogram 1 by the ADB Board of Directors, and indicative triggers for subprogram 2 to facilitate continuous dialogue with the government (Appendix 4). Subprogram 1 supports policy reforms to achieve the program's four outputs. Further reforms in these key policy areas are foreseen to be supported under subprogram 2. The MOH and the government began undertaking the key subprogram 1 reforms in August 2013, and all 15 policy measures required for subprogram 1 have been completed. Subprogram 2 specifies 11 triggers (prior actions that are to be completed before submission to the Board) that need to be completed by July 2018. These triggers will advance the accomplishments achieved under subprogram 1.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Capacity Building for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) Prevention Project. The project impact is to contribute to achieving and sustaining the Millennium Development Goal to have halted and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS in the Lao PDR and Viet Nam. The expected outcome of the project will be increased coverage and quality of services for targeted populations in 23 border provinces.  The project has four outputs.

Output 1: Strengthened planning and management capacity at national, provincial, and district levels. 
Output 2: Enhanced capacity to provide quality and accessible services to people vulnerable to HIV transmission.   
Output 3: Improved access to HIV prevention outreach among target populations in communities and cross-border areas.
Output 4: Effective and sustainable regional collaboration to strengthen HIV response established.  

Strengthening Public Finance Management Program (Subprogram 1). The program will help the Government of the Lao PDR achieve fiscal consolidation and
advance public finance management (PFM) by (i) strengthening public debt management and
reforming tax administration, (ii) improving medium-term fiscal planning and budgeting, and
(iii) enhancing governance and budget credibility. The program will support the government’s
Vision to 2030 and Public Finance Development Strategy to 2025 (Strategy 2025), 1 and help the
government realize its development priorities in the Eighth National Socio-Economic
Development Plan (NSEDP) 2016–2020.

 The program has been classified as effective gender
mainstreaming and contributes to gender equality (operational priority 2) under Strategy 2030 of
the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It will build the foundations for gender-responsive budgeting,
including gender capacity assessments to strengthen organizational structures and ensure
greater representation of gender stakeholders in key PFM reform structures. The program also
contributes to Strategy 2030 by strengthening governance and institutional capacity (operational
priority 6).
 The program addresses Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 by strengthening
governance and inclusive institutions, and SDG 17 by enhancing domestic revenue mobilization
and building capacity. The program is aligned with ADB’s country partnership strategy,
2017–2020,
4 and is included in the country operations business plan, 2019–2021 for the Lao
PDR.5  

Second Strengthening Higher Education Project. The project will strengthen the links between higher education services and socioeconomic needs by improving higher education quality, enhancing access to modern higher education programs, and strengthening governance and management of higher education institutions (HEIs).  

Health Sector Governance Program - Subprogram 2. Equitable and inclusive growth. The 8th Five-Year National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) (2016-2020) aims for the Lao PDR to graduate from least-developed country status by 2020, and become an upper middle-income country by 2030.  Forecasts for 2017 indicate that the country's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 6.8%, resulting in GDP per capita of $2,579, and its poverty rate fell to 20.0%.  Significant development challenges remain, however, including (i) a high fiscal deficit, (ii) accumulated public and publicly guaranteed debt, and (iii) an undiversified resource-based economy. The government recognizes that equitable and inclusive growth requires targeted policy interventions for vulnerable groups, and the NSEDP commits sustained investment to improve access to and the quality of basic social services such as health care, with a view to improving health outcomes, especially for the poor, women, and children. Better health of the workforce results in lower absenteeism, higher labor productivity, and increased wages, all of which contribute to economic growth. Such effects are particularly important in countries where many are engaged in unskilled labor. 

Unfulfilled health targets. The Lao PDR has made good progress in achieving many health targets:  (i) life expectancy in 2015 was 68 years, and (ii) the maternal mortality ratio decreased from 905 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1995 to 206 deaths in 2015 (the MDG target is 260).  Compared with other Asian countries, however, the Lao PDR fares poorly on key health indicators, including those for maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), which impedes full achievement of the health-related SDGs.  The country's under-5 mortality rate remains the highest in Southeast Asia at 86 deaths per 1,000 live births 2015 (the MDG target is 70), and infant mortality rate in 2016 was 48.9 deaths per 1,000 infants, above the MDG target of 45.  Child malnutrition, or underweight children under 5 years of age, dropped to 26.5% in 2011 (more recent data are not available), above the target of 20% (footnote 12). Communicable diseases such as HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis are prevalent.  The incidence of non communicable diseases, accidents, and injuries remains significant as well  the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that non communicable diseases constituted 60% of the burden of disease in 2008, while accidents and injuries accounted for 10%.  

Limited utilization of health care services. Poor health outcomes are closely linked to the limited use of health services. The overall use of public health services is reported to have increased fivefold during 2000-2013 to about 0.6 visits per person per year (footnote 12), but this is still low and gaps in coverage remain between the poor and rich, and rural and non-rural populations, especially for MNCH services, including immunization, antenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and surgery. Children in the poorest quintile are 3.6 times more likely to die before reaching age 5 compared with those in the wealthiest quintile, and children born in Phongsaly province are five times more likely to die before reaching age 5 than those born in Vientiane.  

Second Private Sector and Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Program - Subprogram 1. The proposed Subprogram 1 of the Second Private Sector and SME Development Program, to be financed from a loan totaling $5 million equivalent plus a grant of $10 million (both from ADF sources), will support the Government of Lao PDR's strategy to develop the small and medium-sized enterprises sector and undertake domestic trade-related reforms with a view to promoting the SME sector as a way to achieve sustained and inclusive economic growth. The expected overall impact of the Program is the expansion of the SME formal sector. The program has three outputs as follows (i) implementation of small and medium-sized enterprises policy, including Improving small and medium-sized enterprises' access to services  (ii) promoting regulatory efficiency  and (iii) strengthening trade policies to support small and medium-sized enterprises' growth.  

Governance and Capacity Development in Public Sector Management Program - Subprogram 1. The proposed Governance and Capacity Development in Public Sector Management Program is a programmatic approach comprised of two subprograms. The program will provide support to the government to improve the overall capacity of the public sector, as well as the related governance framework, and will further the implementation of public financial management (PFM) and public administration reforms. The expected impact will be improved delivery of key public services, and the outcome will be strengthened national and subnational public-sector management. Specific outputs of the program and the related capacity development project will (i) implement multiyear budgeting and intergovernmental fiscal relations  (ii) strengthen civil service capacity at the central and subnational level, including gender-responsive capacity  and (iii) strengthen investment management capacity in the public sector for private sector investments (potentially including public-private partnership arrangements). The program and the related capacity development project is embedded in the Seventh National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP7), 20102015, which envisages an accountable, effective, transparent, and responsive public administration as a key development objective to strengthen service delivery.  

Highlands Region Road Improvement Investment Program - Project 2. The proposed Project 2 of the Program will contribute to establishing a sustainable road system in the Highlands region that will enable maximum use of its natural, mineral, and human resources. It will support the Government's objectives of (i) export-driven economic growth  (ii) rural development, and poverty reduction  (iii) good governance  and (iv) promotion of sustainable agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism. Project 2 has three components which include (i) transport infrastructure development, (ii) program support and capacity development, and (iii) program administration. The following outputs will achieve Project 2 components: (i) improvements to 118 km of priority national roads of the HCRN, with design considerations for all road users including pedestrians and public motor vehicles  (ii) maintenance arrangements for 500 km  (iii) improved capacity of the National Road Authority (NRA) to plan and manage long-term road maintenance contracts  (iv) more efficient Department of Works (DOW) capable of delivering road improvements with attention to safeguards capacity, and an established asset management system of the HCRN  and (v) improved road safety capacity of the National Road Safety Council (NRSC).

The DOW is the executing agency (EA) and the implementing agency (IA) for the road improvement works. The NRA is the IA for road maintenance. The Highlands Road Management Group (HRMG) is the DOW project implementation unit for the ongoing ADB loans. Based on lessons learned from Project 1 implementation, the unit will be strengthened under Project 2 specifically on safeguards and on-going monitoring and evaluation. HRMG will engage all consulting services and road improvement contracts under the Program. The NRA established a project implementation unit (PIU) consisting of key NRA staff and supported by Program consultants.

Urban Water Supply and Environmental Improvement in Madhya Pradesh Project (Supplementary Loan). The  initial  loan  for  the  Urban  Water  Supply  and  Environmental Improvement in Madhya Pradesh Project was approved in December  2003.  Despite  the  initial  slow  start-up,  the  project  is progressing well. In 2007 alone, contracts worth $156 million were awarded out of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan proceeds of  $181  million.  The  cumulative  contract  awards  reached  $173 million,  with  a  loan  balance  of  $8  million  for  further  contract awards.  There  is,  however,  about  $82  million  worth  of  contracts  that remain to be awarded. In other words, the project faces a cost overrun. 
 
The reason for the cost overrun is an increase in the original cost estimates,  caused  mainly  by  (i)  rupee  appreciation,  and  (ii)  price increases between the initial loan appraisal in 2003 and 2007. The recent steep appreciation of the rupee resulted in the reduction of the  initial  loan  amount  in  rupee  terms  by  approximately  Rs2.0 billion ($50.6 million equivalent). The high demand for construction  materials  in  the  booming  Indian  economy  and  a worldwide  increase  in  oil  prices  have  led  to  large  cost  increases for  construction  materials—the  price  index  of  steel  increased  by 12%  per  year  on  average,  cement  increased  by  10%,  and  fuel increased  by  9%.  The  impact  of  the  price  escalation  on  the  total project cost was estimated at Rs1.2 billion ($31 million equivalent), or 9%. 
  
Without additional financing, the project in its original scope cannot be completed, and the system integrity of the urban infrastructure for water supply, sewerage, and waste disposal will be  severely  undermined.  Consequently,  not  only  will  there  be  about a 35% reduction in the number of potential beneficiaries of the project, but the beneficiaries will also be connected to incomplete  systems  of  urban  infrastructure.  Being  a  high  priority project, these pending works will eventually have to be carried out by the government of Madhya Pradesh and the municipal corporations.  However,  due  to  the  limited  availability  of  long-term  financial resources, it is uncertain when the government of Madhya  Pradesh  and  the  municipal  corporations  can  secure  the full  amount  to  complete  the  original  project  scope.  The  economic and financial analyses of the initial loan indicate that the extent of reduction  in  the  internal  rate  of  returns  is  greater  for  a  1-year  delay  in  benefit  than  for  a  10%  capital  cost  increase.  In  other  words, there is a clear indication that completion of the full scope of  the  project  is  more  financially  sustainable  and  economically  viable than leaving the project incomplete for an unknown period. 
  
There  are  about  30  contracts  under  the  proposed  supplementary  financing. Out of the 30 contracts, nine are ready to be awarded, and  are  expecting  to  receive  ADB  retroactive  financing.  Detailed  engineering  design  will  be  completed  for  eight  contracts  before  September  2008  and  for  all  remaining  contracts  before  January  2009.

Support for the Implementation of the Poverty Reduction Program V - Subprogram 2. Viet Nam has made remarkable progress in poverty reduction over the last 15 years by carrying out a broad range of policy reforms to foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth and strengthen social protection. Since 2002, an increasing number of multilateral and bilateral development agencies have supported these reforms through the World Bank led PRSC process. The PRSC process comprises several closely related activities jointly undertaken each year by participating development agencies to help the Government carry out policy reforms needed for the successful implementation of its poverty reduction strategy. The process involves the preparation of Viet Nam development reports by participating agencies, consultations on the policy matrices for PRSCs among participating agencies and between these agencies and the Government, and general budget support (in the form of grants and concessional loans) to Viet Nam by participating agencies to cover some of the costs of the policy reforms to the budget. The World Bank coordinates PRSC activities for the participating development agencies. ADB joined the PRSC process in 2003 and has taken part in all PRSC activities since then. In 2004 2007, ADB approved four single tranche standard program loans (one loan every year) to Viet Nam to support, through the PRSC process, the implementation of the Government's poverty reduction programs. SIPRPs I III provided parallel financing with the World Bank's PRSCs 3 5, respectively, in support of the implementation of the Government's Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy 2002 2010. SIPRP IV provided parallel financing with PRSC 6 in support of the implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. With SIPRP V, ADB will stay involved in the PRSC process through 2010, that is, until the implementation of SEDP 2006 2010 is completed. This will enable ADB to promote, with relatively modest financing, a wide spectrum of policy reforms that are essential for the successful implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. Consequently, the proposed program cluster will help ADB achieve the strategic objective of its country strategy and program 2007 2010 for Viet Nam, which is to help the Government reduce the poverty rate to 10% 11% by 2010 through the successful implementation of SEDP 2006 2010. Furthermore, continued participation in the PRCS process will provide ADB with another means of coordinating its activities in Viet Nam with those of other development agencies. SIPRP V will help ADB fulfill its obligations under the Rome Declaration on Harmonization (2003), the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), and the Hanoi Core Statement on Aid Effectiveness (2005).  

Support to Border Areas Development Project. The project supports the Cambodia-Lao PDR-Viet Nam Development Triangle Area objectives of (i) facilitating the flow of goods, people, and investment capital  and (ii) accelerating economic growth within the five Viet Nam Development Triangle Area (VDTA) provinces of Binh Phuoc, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai and Kon Tum. The VDTA is characterized by a high concentration of ethnic minorities, low gross domestic product, and areas of persistent poverty. The key impediments to more inclusive growth are insufficient transport and other basic infrastructure, as well as limited institutional capacity. To improve the efficiency of public investment and maximize the benefits of economies of scale and synergies with ongoing or planned projects, the Government of Viet Nam is advocating an integrated area approach under which neighboring localities will work towards common development goals, gaining economies of scale, and jointly enhanced competitiveness. This approach characterizes the design philosophy of the project, which will address the key impediments to inclusive growth.

Second Northern Greater Mekong Subregion Transport Network Improvement Project - Additional Financing. The GMS Northeastern Corridor (encompassing Nanning in Guangxi Province, People's Republic of China  Hanoi and Thanh Hoa in Viet Nam  Louang Phrabang, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic  and Bangkok, Thailand) is one of the corridors identified in the GMS Transport Sector Strategy Study and links northeastern Lao PDR and northern Viet Nam. Many of the roads in the transport corridor have been improved including the sections of the corridor in northeastern Lao PDR and northern Viet Nam under the ongoing project (L2703 VIE) to maximize the economic potential of the GMS Northeastern Corridor and to improve northern Lao PDR with year-round access to seaports. As  the road conditions between km 59.8 (where Highway 217 intersects with Ho Chi Minh Highway which connects Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh cities) and km 104.9 have significantly deteriorated due to the increased traffic (coming from Na Meo, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh cities) and the vehicle overloading, the Government of Viet Nam requested ADB to consider providing additional financing for full scale improvement of the road section km 59.8-104.9 rather than simple repair as originally planned under L2703.  

Central Region Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project. The project will increase access to water supply and sanitation, improving the health and quality of life of the rural population in six selected provinces in the central coastal region of Viet Nam. The project will support the government in implementing its Socioeconomic Development Plan, 2006-2010, including reducing poverty to 10%-11% of households by 2010. In so doing, it will help the government to achieve the Vietnamese Millennium Development Goals. The project will provide piped water and hygienic sanitation to about 350,000 people living in rural areas. The project has a strong poverty focus and its design is based on lessons from previous interventions in the sector. The implementation will follow a community-based approach and will focus on (i) improving hygienic behavior, (ii) strengthening operation and maintenance of the water supply works, and (iii) monitoring and evaluation of the outputs and impacts of rural water supply and sanitation investments.

Sustainable Urban Transport for Ho Chi Minh City Mass Rapid Transit Line 2. The Project will develop an integrated public transport system in six districts of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) that will support effective utilization of HCMC Urban Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 2 . Improved public transport will facilitate connectivity and greatly enhance access to transport services in five districts of HCMC, as well as support the HCMC Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP) objective of increasing public transport usage to over 40% of demand and reducing dependency on private vehicles. The Project will provide infrastructure for improving accessibility to MRT2 stations, implement feeder bus links, integrated multi-modal stations with "park and ride" facilities where appropriate, infrastructure for improving accessibility to MRT2 stations as well as a parking plan for the city. Project management and institutional capacity building measures, together with expected policy and regulatory reforms, will also help achieve an improved public transport system and reduce GHG emissions. The project components, public transport services and other facilities will be designed to incorporate gender sensitive features that will compliment similar measures under the MRT2 project.  

B.Grimm Viet Nam Solar Power Project (Dau Tieng Project). The Project will be some of Viet Nam's first independent power producer (IPP) renewable energy projects. Less than 1% of Viet Nam's electricity capacity comes from wind and solar energy and rapid scaling up of Viet Nam's solar capacity will demonstrate to the Government of Viet Nam that variable renewable energy capacity can help to meet the country's rapidly growing demand for energy.  

B.Grimm Viet Nam Solar Power Project (Phu Yen Project). The Projects will be some of Viet Nam's first independent power producer (IPP) renewable energy projects. Less than 1% of Viet Nam's electricity capacity comes from wind and solar energy and rapid scaling up of Viet Nam's solar capacity will demonstrate to the Government of Viet Nam that variable renewable energy capacity can help to meet the country's rapidly growing demand for energy.  

Public Private Partnership Support Project. The project entails the use of an ADF project loan of $20 million to fund the establishment of a Project Development Facility (PDF) that would help bring bankable PPP projects to the market.  The PDF would be used by government ministries / project sponsors to fund PPP project preparation activities which include pre-feasibility studies, full feasibility studies and the engagement of transaction advisors who would structure deals to bring to the private sector for bidding.  

Third Financial Sector Program Loan Cluster - Subprogram 2. Output 1: Enhanced capital market liquidity through improved information disclosure. Timely disclosure of material information reduces information asymmetries among market participants, strengthening investor confidence and supporting market liquidity. Subprogram 2 supports a new core policy action covering the new regulation issued by MOF covering information disclosure for listed and unlisted public companies which moves them closer to the adoption of international best practices. Under a new core policy action, SSC completed a comprehensive analysis of a strategic development and sector road map for 2010 to 2020 to address market infrastructure bottlenecks for capital market growth. To address accounting standards, the government initiated a gap assessment to more closely align Vietnamese accounting standards with the IAS and developed an implementation timeline. To enhance market information standards, the draft Law on Independent Audit was submitted to the government. To enhance information disclosure, the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD) completed the pilot implementation of the automatic synchronization of records between its head office and branches for public companies registered with VSD. To strengthen VSD s risk management capacity, a risk assessment of its central depository and clearing functions benchmarked against international practices will be undertaken.

Output 2: Strengthened institutional framework for securities issuance. To develop the government securities market, the program supports institutional reforms such as the establishment of Public Debt Management Office (PDMO). Together with the Banking and Financial Institutions Department of MOF, PDMO will provide an institutional focal point to support a range of key reforms in the bond markets. To improve the risk management and the operating efficiency of the money market, and open market operations for the development of a liquid secondary market, SBV will incorporate the short-term risk mitigation measures identified in the ADB TA report.

Output 3: Enhanced legal and regulatory framework for investor and consumer protection and financial sector stability. The program supports a review of the legal framework for the Securities Law with a view to strengthening enforcement powers and investor protection. State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV), as part of its response to the global financial crisis, introduced measures to strengthen commercial banks including (i) adopting new corporate governance requirements based on the corporate governance principles of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development  (ii) increasing the charter capital of banks  and (iii) amending the SBV Law, Credit Institutions Law, and application of Bankruptcy Law on credit institutions, including special control by SBV in an effort to drive banking consolidation. As part of its efforts to strengthen its anti-money laundering regime, Viet Nam joined the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering and in July 2009 was evaluated by the group. A new core policy action supported under subprogram 2 is the submission of the draft amendments to the insurance law to the government by August 2010 and the issuance of a decree on administrative penalties for insurance businesses.

Output 4: Improved regional cooperation and human resource development. One of the conditions stipulated in subprogram 1 is for the State Securities Commission (SSC) to assess its ability to meet benchmarks under the International Organization of Securities Regulators (IOSCO) multilateral memorandum of understanding (MMOU) and to develop a road map for it to become a signatory to Annex B of the IOSCO MMOU. Viet Nam has been accepted as an IOSCO MMOU Annex B signatory, which is subject to government approval. The reformulated policy action for subprogram 2 requires MOF to submit a request to the government to approve Viet Nam s membership in the MMOU Annex B signatory. Subprogram 2 supports a systematic approach to capacity building for financial sector development. SBV is developing a 5-year human resource development plan to 2015 with a vision up to 2020. In line with this move, SBV will conduct a skill gap assessment to formulate a comprehensive capacity-building program.  

State-owned Enterprises (SOE) Reform and Corporate Governance Facilitation Program - Tranche 1. The SRCGFP will support  the agenda of the Government of Viet Nam for state-owned enterprise (SOE) reform by equitizing and transforming general corporations. Participating general corporations will be restructured under a comprehensive package of corporate and financial restructuring and enhanced operational efficiency and corporate governance. Debt restructuring will strengthen general corporation balance sheets through improved cash flows and debt-servicing capacity, generating additional resources for productive activities. None of the restructured debt will be nonperforming loans. Corporate restructuring will enable participating general corporations to exploit economies of both scale and scope by merging several small joint stock subsidiaries in each general corporation into larger entities organized along lines of business, combined with the divestiture of disparate non-core business units. Additionally, management restructuring will enhance operational efficiency by strengthening corporate management processes and improving governance. OCR will be used to support financial and corporate restructuring, while operational restructuring and improved corporate governance will be supported by the complementary loan component funded from ADF resources.  

Urban Environment and Climate Change Adaptation Project. The proposed project will construct and upgrade the infrastructure facilities to improve urban environmental conditions in three coastal cities of Dong Hoi (Quang Binh province), Hoi An (Quang Nam province), and Sam Son (Thanh Hoa province). The improved urban environment is expected to strengthen the municipal financial bases in the project cities through an increase of tax revenues from the appreciation of land values and the tourism industry.  

Secondary Education Sector Development Program (Program Loan). The Secondary Education Sector Development Program (SESDP) will be the first education sector development program in Viet Nam. It will comprise a program loan for policy reforms and an accompanying investment loan for addressing three key constraints on secondary education: sector management and accountability, quality and relevance, and access and equity. The Program is anchored in the Government's reforms in secondary education. The SESDP is aimed at improving the average learning outcome among secondary students through three outputs: effective and accountable management of secondary education, improvements in quality for international competitiveness, and better access and equity for disadvantaged groups.

Third Financial Sector Program Loan (Subprogram 1) (formerly Financial Sector Program Loan III). The objective of FSPL III is to create a more diversified, deeper, and more resilient financial sector. The bank-dominated financial sector cannot adequately finance the economy’s investment needs. FSPL III will lead to an increased share of capital markets in the financing of domestic investment, which will promote and facilitate sustained high growth in the economy with reduced risks. Development of diversified capital markets will result in increased efficiency of financial intermediation in the economy, more efficient allocation of resources, and a sound macroeconomic environment that is more resilient to external and regional shocks. 
FSPL III will also support Government efforts to promote greater regional cooperation through cooperation with regulators of other securities markets in the region. The outputs of the subprogram 1 include: (i) enhanced market liquidity by lowering of transaction costs, (ii) institutional framework for securities issuance, (iii) investor and consumer protection, and (iv) improved regional cooperation in securities market regulation.  

Second Upper Secondary Education Development Project. The proposed Second Upper Secondary Education Development Project (USEPD II/the Project) is designed as a positive school-sector intervention for effective human resource development that will contribute to the economic development of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (the Government) and address such social and economic issues as poverty reduction, improved knowledge and skills for school graduates entering the labor force and greater equity of educational opportunity across all spectrums of society. The Project will help the Government to promote its ongoing reform initiative for upper secondary education (USE) through upgrading of teaching and learning to international standards, improve student access and retention, especially in disadvantaged regions and strengthen school management to achieve the planned objectives for USE. Project activities include construction of education facilities for USSs, provision of simulation classrooms for selected teacher training universities (TTUs) to provide practical teaching experiences, improved instructional materials and equipment for disadvantaged schools and planned model schools, oral English materials to improve foreign language learning, pilot support for disabled students at USE level, provincial block grants to local education authorities, pilot teacher training programs through public-private partnership (PPP), support to the National Institute of Education Management (NIEM), and conduct a number of research studies to examine ways to improve USE planning and management. The Project will principally be national in scope, with access-related project investments targeted to selected disadvantaged areas.  

Low Carbon Agricultural Support Project. The Project will enhance climate smart agriculture development and practices  focused on strengthening Low Carbong Agriculture (LCA) policies and institutions  establishing infrastructure support for agri-waste management  and, enhancing LCA technology and development transfer. These will be parts of climate change (CC) mitigation and adaptation measures to reduce green house gas (GHG) emission in 19 provinces of Viet Nam.  

University of Science and Technology of Hanoi Development (New Model University) Project. The project seeks to establish a new model university (NMU) focused on international standard teaching and research in science and technology. This NMU—the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH)—will demonstrate a new policy framework for the governance, financing, and quality assurance of universities in Viet Nam. The USTH will be established in partnership with the Government of France and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The Government of France will provide about €100 million to support development and operating costs until at least 2020, including provision of curricula, research capacity, the rector, academic staff, and scholarships. The USTH opened in October 2010 using facilities at VAST and enrollments are expected to reach 1,000 by 2014. It will migrate to its new campus at Hoa Lac High Tech Park (HHTP), which is being developed in cooperation with the Japan International Cooperation Agency, once it is ready. The World Bank approved the development of an NMU—the Vietnamese–German University—in June 2010.  

Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway Construction Project. The Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway (HLD expressway) Project comprises construction of approximately 51 kilometers of four-lane, tolled expressway. The expressway will commence at the junction of the Second Ring Road in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), and end at a junction with National Highway 1 at Dau Giay, Dong Nai Province. It will provide a direct connection from the center of HCMC to economic growth areas in provinces to the north of HCMC along National Highway 1, which connects HCMC to Hanoi. The expressway will be a toll road, with access initially restricted to three locations: the intersection with the Second Ring Road, the intersection with National Highway 51 at the southern end of Long Thanh town, and at Dau Giay. The Project includes construction of a major new 1,700-meter bridge over the Dong Nai River at Long Thanh, and two rest and service areas.

The project will provide targeted support to: (i) TTIs in ethnic minority areas  (ii) ethnic minority students, particularly women  and (iii) TTIs in areas of rapid economic growth.  

Northern Power Transmission Expansion (Sector) Project. The project represents a 5-year time slice of Electricity of Viet Nam's (EVN) power transmission system development plan, covering 500 kilovolt (kV) and 220 kV transmission lines and associated substations. The project will transmit power from remote power plants to the northern part of Viet Nam, which is relatively poor. This enables adequate and reliable power supply required in the planned socio-economic development activities including new industrial parks. The Project will also create the potential for regional power interconnection.  

Renewable Energy Development and Network Expansion and Rehabilitation for Remote Communes Sector Project (Formerly Renewable Energy for Remote Commune). The primary objective of the sector Project is to develop rural electrification and renewable energy in Viet Nam to benefit ethnic minority communities inhabiting remote and poorer parts of the country. The Project consists of two investment components: (i) development of mini-hydropower plants in mountain provinces, and (ii) network expansion and rehabilitation of distribution networks serving poor provinces.

Component 1 of the Project will develop about 5-10 grid-connected run-of-river mini-hydropower plants of 7.5 megawatts (MW) or less capacity, totaling 30 MW in several  provinces in northern and central Viet Nam. Electricity connections will be provided to about 60-75 villages in poor, remote ethnic minority areas in northern Viet Nam, and minimum 100 gigawatt hours (GWh) of hydropower energy to the national grid. 

Component 2 of the Project will support the Government's ongoing special program of supporting rural electrification of poor provinces inhabited by ethnic minorities. The Government requested assistance to extend this program to five provinces:  Dien Bien and Lai Chau in Northern region  Tra Vinh and Soc Trang in Mekong Delta   and Quang Tri in central Viet Nam. Approximately 100,000 poor households in about 1,000 villages are expected to receive electricity under this component.

The Project will include an associated technical assistance (TA) grant for capacity building for renewable energy development.  

Secondary Cities Development Project. The Secondar Cities Development Project in Ha Tiinh, Tam Ky and Buon Ma Thuot, focusses on flood risk reduction, urban environment improvement and provides project management and capacity building support. The sub-project selection criteria includes economic planning and development, social cohesion and equity, climate resilience, environmental sustainability and good governance. Land demand and design standards are accorded high priority. High consideration was provided to the protection of communities from floods and natural disaster risks, therefore completion of flood control and drainage works from the Central Regions Urban Environment Improvement Project (CRUEIP) where there were gaps in essential flood protection work in Ha Tinh and Tam Ky was given highest priority.  The sub-projects include in : (i)  Buon Ma Thuot - solid waste management and urban connectivity through upgrading of strategic roads  (ii) Ha Tinh - completion of drainage channels, regulating basins, lake improvement, and upgrading of access roads  (iii) Tam Ky - completion of flood dyke and strategic roads construction.  

Second Northern Greater Mekong and Subregion (GMS) Transport Network Improvement. The GMS Northeastern Corridor (stretching from Thanh Hoa in northern Viet Nam through northern Lao PDR to Bangkok) is one of the corridors identified in the transport sector
strategy study and links northeastern Lao PDR with northern Viet Nam and its seaports. Many of the corridor roads between Thanh Hoa and Bangkok are in good condition. Others are now being improved, including a 367-kilometer (km) stretch of Route 4 in the Lao PDR from the Louangphrabang area to the Lao PDR-Thailand border that is being upgraded under ADB's Northern GMS Transport Network Improvement Project, approved in 2007. The section of the corridor between the coast through the provinces of Thanh Hoa in northern Viet Nam and Houaphanh in northeastern Lao PDR, however, needs to be improved to a higher, all-weather, international standard if the Northeastern Corridor is to deliver its full potential increase in traffic, trade, and economic development and give the northern region of the Lao PDR valuable yearround access to rapidly developing ports on the South China Sea. The proposed project will fill this key gap. It was accorded priority in the GMS transport sector study and is strongly supported by the governments of the Lao PDR and Viet Nam, which believe it will strengthen the economies of both countries and help reduce current high poverty rates in the project provinces on both sides of their border. The project is included in the GMS regional cooperation business plan for 2010-2012.

Road maintenance and vehicle overloading are key issues affecting the sustainability of road projects in Viet Nam and the Lao PDR. Both governments have agreed to maintain the
project roads to the national standard. In Lao PDR, this will be done through the use of performance-based maintenance contracts. In Viet Nam, performance-based maintenance
contracts will also be used for the project road, subject to the successful outcome of ongoing pilot tests of these contracts. MOT will develop a program to control vehicle overloading of vehicles on the project road in Viet Nam. To address vehicle overloading in the Lao PDR, scales for weighing vehicles will be procured under the project, and checkpoints to control the overloading of vehicles will be established along the project roads.

Strengthening Sustainable Urban Transport for Ha Noi Metro Line 3. The Project will develop an integrated public transport system in five districts of Ha Noi that will support effective utilization of Ha Noi metro Line 3 .  Improved public transport will facilitate public transport connectivity and greatly enhance access in five districts of Ha Noi, as well as support the Ha Noi Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP) objective of increasing ridership on public transport to over 40% of demand and reducing dependency on vehicle ownership.  The Project will support Ha Noi's climate change mitigation efforts in adopting a low carbon transport growth path, which is more energy efficient and lowers GHG emissions.

The Project will provide infrastructure for improving accessibility to Metro Line 3 stations, implement feeder bus links, a public transport management system, integrated multi-modal stations with "park and ride" facilities, as well as a comprehensive parking plan for the city. The project components, public transport services and other facilities will be designed to incorporate gender sensitive features that will complement similar measures under the Metro Line 3 project.  In addition, any policy and regulatory measures developed will be fully inclusive.  The proposed project management and institutional capacity building measures for Metro line 3, together with expected policy and regulatory reforms, will also help achieve an improved public transport system and reduce GHG emissions. ADB proposes concurrent assistance to develop sustainable urban transport in Ho Chi Minh City for mass rapid transit line 2, and both projects' preparation and implementation will be closely coordinated, including between respective city governments.

The Project outputs will be: (i) improved accessibility features in and around metro stations  (ii) integrated and innovative public transport services and measures connecting to metro stations  and (iii) support for transformational policies and regulatory measures to encourage modal shift to public transportation modes. Measures related to the bus system will be closely coordinated with ongoing institutional reform and system improvements.

Southern Thailand Wind Power and Battery Energy Storage Project. The project consists of a 10 MW wind power project with an integrated 1.88 MWh pilot BESS.  The wind  farm  consists  of  four  wind  turbines  from  Xinjiang Goldwind  Science and Technology with a rated capacity of 2.5 MW each. The project company entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), the Thai state-owned utility handling all distribution and retail sales outside the greater Bangkok area, for up to 8.965 MW under the Ministry of Energy’s very small power producer (VSPP) program. The PPA is automatically renewed every 5 years, and in addition to the wholesale tariff, the project receives a tariff incentive (the so-called "adder") of B3.5 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), applicable for 10 years from the commercial operations date. The wind turbines reached commercial operations in April 2019.

The 1.88 MWh BESS is a small pilot scheme comprising a lithium-ion battery with installed capacity of 731 kWh and an UltraBattery with installed capacity of 1,152 kWh. The lithium-ion battery  has  peak  charge  and discharge  capacity of 731 kilowatts  (kW).  The UltraBattery  has  a peak charge  capacity  of  461  kW  and  a  peak discharge  capacity  of  691  kW.  Combining  these technologies allows the project to benefit from both the high charge rate, high depth of discharge, and high durability of lithium-ion and the low energy capacity cost of the UltraBattery.

The project is in southern Thailand, one of the country’s least developed regions, which suffers  from  lack  of  investment,  job opportunities,  and  access  to  basic  services.  The  lack  of  economic  activity  in  the  region  has  led  to  underinvestment  in  the  local  power  system,  which  continues to experience energy shortages. The project will provide additional generation capacity to the region, help make the power network more resilient, and thus support economic growth.

The electric ferries will also act as a demonstration project for other vehicle modes (especially taxis and delivery vehicles) on the advantages and potential of this type of fast-charging batteries.  

Skills Development for a Modern Economy Project. The growth of Uzbekistan's economy has not led to commensurate job creation. Annually more than 600,000 graduates from colleges and academic lyceums are entering labor market, while the annual increase in jobs is only about 200,000?-300,000.  Very recent economic downturn was accompanied with significant flow of returning migrants (300,000-400,000) from 2015 to 2017, adding pressure to the labor market.  Unemployment rate was reported at 9.3% in 2018, and even higher at 17% for people aged 16-25 years. The proposed project will support the government to expand and upgrade reskilling service to the unemployed through selected professional training centers (PTCs), modernize skills development in selected TVET colleges (TVETCs), and promote performance-based partnerships with the industries including private sector. The overarching priority is to ensure market-driven skills learnt by students and jobseekers. The proposed project will be fully aligned with the country's Action Strategy for the Five Priority Areas (2017-?2021), Strategy on Innovative Development (2019?-2021), and the Education Sector Plan (2019?-2023), and with the ADB's Country Partnership Strategy (2019-2023) and Country Operations Business Plan (2019-2021).

Western Uzbekistan Water Supply System Development Project. Spanning more than 165,000 square kilometers, the RK covers the entire northwestern extremity of Uzbekistan.  It has a dispersed population of about 1.8 million, and its primary economic drivers are agriculture, natural gas, and minerals. The RK's natural environment is primarily arid desert comprising sparse, barren lands that are subject to severe drought. As such, the RK suffers from acute surface water shortage. Although aquifers exist, the groundwater is mostly saline and of limited value, as it is prohibitively expensive to treat for human consumption. Water supply conditions are therefore critical.

Municipal water supply services in the RK are provided by a regional WSS utility, the State Unitary Enterprise Department for Operation of Interregional Water Supply Tuyamuyun-Nukus (TN).  Although operational, TN faces considerable challenges as most of its Soviet-era infrastructure has depreciated to the point of dilapidation. Its services are unreliable, leakage losses are high, and water quality is a growing concern. These deficiencies prevent TN from delivering services that meet regulator and public expectations, which in turn undermines consumer confidence and willingness to pay, increases regulator reluctance to raise tariffs, and reduces financial and institutional performance. As with similar utilities in Uzbekistan, has become locked in a vicious cycle that requires external intervention to modernize and expand its asset base while overhauling its institutional capacity.

TN's service deficiencies relate directly to poor WSS sector performance. In the RK, only 36.6% of the population in Karakalpakstan (12.9% in rural areas) is connected to the centralized water supply system. Recent surveys indicate that 40% of households receive water for less than 6 hours per week and that water pressures are often low.  About 75% of households reportedly experience excessive water salinity and hardness issues. Correlations are also frequently drawn between poor water quality and waterborne disease incidence.  The substantial consumer base that is yet to be connected to a centralized water supply is forced to purchase water from trucked supplies at exorbitant prices or consume water that is increasingly polluted. 

The government fully recognized the sector constraints and, with support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other development partners, has responded by implementing a phased, nationwide institutional consolidation and sector-wide management, financial, and cost recovery reform program. The initial phase, driven largely by the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 306, has led to the consolidation of Karakalpakstan's WSS services into TN and the implementation of more than 40 time-bound corporate governance improvements to strengthen utility capacity.  The second phase is overhauling the wider institutional framework by creating the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services (MHCS).  The Agency Kommunhizmat (CSA), reporting to the MHCS, is responsible for implementing externally funded projects including those funded by ADB. 

The project supports the government's WSS reform program by helping improve TN's institutional capacity while revitalizing its regional water supply system. It will benefit 388,000 inhabitants in six districts and 116 rural settlements by providing reliable and safe water supply through universal metered household connections.  It is consistent with ADB's Water Operational Plan, 2011-2020  and country operations business plan, 2018-2020 for Uzbekistan.

Lessons to be incorporated in the project design include (i) securing timely counterpart support by engaging government agencies at the early stage of project preparation, (ii) improving project quality and efficiency by adopting least-cost solutions in project design, (iii) providing training and capacity building of project implementation personnel to reduce procurement and construction delay, and (iv) accelerating domestic approval procedures by engaging design institutes during project preparation.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 2 Road Investment Program - Tranche 3. A multitranche financing facility for the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 2 Road Investment Program (the investment program) was approved in April 2010 for an aggregate amount of $600 million. The third tranche (Loan 2868-UZB) of the investment program was approved in June 2012 for $100 million from the Asian Development Fund. The project will lead to better connectivity and an efficient transport system along the Uzbekistan section of the CAREC Corridor 2 road. The project outcome will be the reconstructed A380 highway section and crossborder facilities with improved travel time and efficiency. The project outputs are (i) an approximately 40 km of the reconstructed Uzbekistan section of CAREC Corridor 2 road (between Km315 and Km355 of A380 highway), (ii) improved cross-border facilities, and (iii) community development.  

Economic Management Improvement Program, Phase 2 (Subprogram 1). The proposed Economic Management Improvement Program, Phase 2 (EMIP II) supports transformation of Uzbekistan's state-dominated economy by strengthening fiscal management,improving governance and operations of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and enhancing public sector accountability. The program is aligned with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) countrypartnership strategy for Uzbekistan, 2019-2023 and operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030 that are (i) strengthening governance, quality, and capacity of public institutions to undertakepolicy reforms and promote private sector development  (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality  (iii) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities  and (iv) tackling climatechange, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability.The program is designed under a policy-based lending modality with two subprograms. While subprogram 1 focuses on improving the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework, subprogram 2 supports measures for effective and transparent fiscal management  SOE transformation, including strengthening of the competitive environment  and improving anticorruption and audit systems. The programmatic approach allows for comprehensive policy dialogue and flexibility in implementing logically sequenced structural reforms in a multiyear framework. The attached technical assistance (TA) of $250,000 supports the implementation.  

Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program - Tranche 2. The Project will rehabilitate and expand the water supply and wastewater management systems in Andijan and Kokand cities and water supply systems in Fergana, Margilan, and Rishtan cities, which are priorities for development. Its impact will be improved public health and hygiene in Andijan, Fergana, Kokand, Margilan and Rishtan cities. The outcome will be safe, reliable, and sustainable WSS services and improved hygiene for 1.4 million people by 2025.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 2 Road Investment Program - Tranche 2. The project's outcome will be reconstructed, effectively operated and maintained A380 highway section with improved travel time. The project has two outputs--(i) reconstructed Uzbekistan section of CAREC Corridor 2 road (85 km of the A380 highway between Km355 and Km440), and (ii) road sector sustainability strategy and plans adopted by the Republican Road Fund (RRF).  

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Program (Subprogram 1). The proposed Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Development Program aims to support the Government of Uzbekistan in improving the ecosystem for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to become catalysts for economic diversification and high value-added job creation, in line with the country's overall development strategy.  The ecosystem will be improved through a simplified regulatory, policy, and institutional framework  diversified financial instruments  digital infrastructure  skilled labor  and improved financial and digital literacy.

The program is included in the country operations business plan for Uzbekistan, 2021-2023 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and is aligned with ADB's country partnership strategy for Uzbekistan, 2019-2023.  It is also aligned with ADB's Strategy 2030 operational priorities 1, 2, 3 and 6, which support SME development, quality job creation, gender equality, and strengthening institutional capacity and governance.  Improving the ecosystem for SME development requires parallel multisector policy, institutional, and process reforms. In Uzbekistan, the situation is compounded by the multiplicity of agencies involved and the ongoing restructuring of some of these agencies, including the Small Business Entrepreneurship Development Agency (SBEDA) which requires substantial capacity building to lead reforms effectively. The coordination necessary to enable each subprogram to, individually and collectively, achieve meaningful improvements using well-sequenced, cross-sector reforms across many weak agencies, is the key rationale for a two-subprogram policy-based programmatic approach. The approach will also help the SBEDA to become an effective host institution for future SME development interventions through a sector development program or a results-based program.  

Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program - Tranche 3. On 28 August 2009, the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan (the Government) signed a Financing Framework Agreement (FFA) with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a multitranche financing facility (MFF) to finance the Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) Services Investment Program, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $300 million from ADB Special Funds resources. On 29 September 2009, the ADB Board of Directors approved the MFF WSS Investment Program with the Uzbekistan Communal Services Agency (UCSA) as the executing agency. 
The investment program combines physical and non-physical improvements in water supply and wastewater management sectors through investment and institutional strengthening and capacity building.

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor 2 (Pap-Namangan-Andijan) Railway Electrification Project – Additional Financing. The Government of Uzbekistan (the government) and Joint Stock Company O'zbekiston Temir Yo'llari (UTY) have requested the ADB to provide additional financing for the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 2 (Pap-Namangan-Andijan) Railway Electrification Project, for Modernization of Electrified Line Angren-Pap-Kokand-Andjian Railway Line.  

Second Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor 2 Road Investment Program - Tranche 1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a multitranche financing facility for an aggregate amount not exceeding $500 million for the Second CAREC Corridor 2 Road Investment Program on 23 August 2011 and an OCR loan of $130 million for Loan 2772-UZB Project 1 on 2 September 2011. The investment program aims to increase domestic and international trade. The outputs under the investment program will be (i) about 236 km of the reconstructed road section of CAREC Corridor 2  and (ii) implemented road system sustainability plans, which relate to road safety and asset management. The investment program will finance three separate projects.

Loan 2772-UZB Project 1 was signed on 1 December 2011 and became effective on 13 January 2012 with current loan closing of 31 December 2017. The project intends to reconstruct about 58 km of the A373 highway (between Km 116 and Km 190), and improve road safety management.  

UZB: SURGIL NATURAL GAS CHEMICALS. The project is located approximately 1,300 kilometers (km) from Tashkent in the Ustyurt region of Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic in northwestern Uzbekistan. The integrated gas-to-chemical project consists of (i) upstream development and operations at the Surgil Field involving drilling new production wells and constructing upstream infrastructure including expanding the complex gas treatment unit to supply up to 3 billion cubic meters per annum (BCMA) of gas and 115 thousand tons per annum (KTPA) of condensate  (ii) downstream development and operations at the gas treatment site, located approximately 115 km southwest of the Surgil Field, involving constructing a new gas separation plant, an ethylene cracker, a high-density polyethylene plant, a polypropylene plant, and associated utilities and supporting facilities  and (iii) associated gas pipelines, product transportation, and water supply infrastructure  the project also includes three 35-megawatt gas turbine generator sets for power supply independent of the national grid. 

The project sources gas from its own Surgil Field and purchase gas, through a gas supply agreement with UNG, from the East Berdakh and North Berdakh fields. Each of the fields is currently in production and the incremental production of the three gas fields available to the project provides the required gas volume. Condensate supply (another raw material required for the polymer process) is provided under long-term supply contracts.

The upstream and downstream components of the project is connected by two parallel 115-km pipelines constructed to supply gas and condensate from the Surgil Field to the gas separation plant. The process technology is supplied by each of the downstream engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts and is fully aligned with technology license arrangements, providing the project with process performance guarantees and ongoing technical support from the process licensors.  

Second Tashkent Province Water Supply Development Project. The project will support the Government of Uzbekistan in the rehabilitation and expansion of a regional water supply system located in the Yangiyul and Chinaz districts of Tashkent province.  Responding directly to the water supply shortage of the population in the project area, it will improve water supply and sanitation services, pilot the decentralized wastewater disposal systems, and strengthen institutional capacity in the province's water supply and wastewater utility. The project is listed in the Asian Development Bank (ADB) country operations business plan for Uzbekistan, 2019-2021.  

Advanced Electricity Metering Project. The Advanced Electricity Metering Project will install an advanced electricity metering (AEM) system, with modern, accurate, and theft-proof revenue meters for about one million residential and commercial entity customers in Samarkand, Bukhara, and Jizzakh regions. AEM will allow appropriate accounting for every unit of power consumed, which is essential for minimizing commercial losses and identifying upgrades that would result in a lower technical loss. The project will contribute to improving energy efficiency, and will help reduce commercial losses and improve collection efficiency of electricity revenue.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The program supports the government's COVID-19 pandemic response plan, of which the ACF is the predominant part, to help mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the population's health, incomes, and economic opportunities as well as macroeconomic stability. The outcome will be the COVID-19 outbreak more effectively managed and its adverse social and economic impacts reduced.  

Small Business and Entrepreneurship Development Project. The project will enable women's small businesses and rural small businesses to grow, develop, expand, compete, and play a greater income-generating role in Uzbekistan. Through this financial intermediation loan, participating commercial banks (PCBs) will provide subloans to small businesses. At least 30% of the subloans will be to women's small businesses  and at least 50% will be to small businesses outside the city of Tashkent. The project will be supported by TA to strengthen PCBs' capacity to provide loans to and improve the entrepreneurial capacities of women's small businesses and rural small businesses. The project implementation period is 2014-2017.  

COVID-19: Imexpharm COVID-19 Generic Pharmaceutical Project. The proceeds of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan and Imexpharm’s internal cash accruals will be used to fund Imexpharm’s working capital needs amid the global coronavirus disease  (COVID-19)  pandemic  and  the  resulting  economic  crisis.  The  project  is  an  indirect COVID-19 response to address the challenges that arose as a result of supply chain constraints during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Imexpharm have had to stockpile inputs amid the supply disruption of pharmaceutical inputs. ADB’s funding will be partly utilized  for  the  retroactive  financing  of  capital  needs  since  the  beginning  of  the  COVID-19 pandemic. Imexpharm has so far managed the increased cash needs by negotiating extended payment  terms  with  its  suppliers  and  using  internal  cash  accruals  in  anticipation  of  ADB’s financing. The proceeds will be used for (i) the purchase of ingredients for pharmaceutical drug manufacturing and (ii) other general working capital needs.  

Integrated Rural Development Sector Project in the Central Provinces - Additional Financing. The additional financing will support the upgrading of underdeveloped or outdated productive rural infrastructure (PRI), thus increasing agricultural and rural productivity. It also aims to improve the integration of strengthened dams and reservoirs, primary and
secondary canals, and access roads to facilitate increased agricultural productivity and diversification and reduce vulnerability caused by natural disasters.  

Power Transmission Investment Program - Tranche 2. The investment program will contribute to meeting electricity demand growth of industrial, commercial, and residential consumers in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. The outcome of the investment program is enhanced capacity of the transmission network to balance power load. The investment program also supports partial implementation of National Power Sector Development Master Plan VII (PDMP VII) to meet growing electricity demand of industrial, commercial and residential consumers throughout Viet Nam, and improve the operational effectiveness and efficiency of the National Power Transmission Corporation (NPT) - the entity responsible for financing, managing, and operating the transmission network - to ensure reliable electricity supply. 

Tranche 2 will finance part of each of the three output components:

Component 1: Expanded Transmission Network (Physical investment)
Component 2: Improved Operational Effectiveness and Efficiency (Non-physical investment)
Component 3: Project Implementation Support (Non-physical investment)  

Municipal Waste-to-Energy Project. Rapid urbanization coupled with population growth have led to an increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Viet Nam to unmanageable levels. During the period 2004 ? 2015, waste generation increased by about 87% from 15 million tons per year (MT/y) to about 28 MT/y by 2015. Significant portion of the waste collected are disposed at landfills within 200-500 meters of residential areas. Less than 30% of those sites are classified as engineered or sanitary landfills. This poses a significant threat for public health in areas where there is high level of waste generation due to the contamination of the ground and surface water by untreated leachate  emissions of airborne pollutants, and the spread of flies, mosquitoes, rodents and dust.

To address the increasing problems of MSW management, the Government of Viet Nam issued a series of laws and regulations requiring immediate attention to the management and disposal of waste in an environmentally sustainable manner. Waste-to-energy (WTE) was recognized as an effective method to reduce waste volume by 90% and to eliminate methane (CH4) emissions. WTE technologies use the waste heat from incineration to produce electricity and heat. By substituting for fossil fuel combustion and avoiding CH4, WTE technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and mitigate climate change. Despite the recent policy shift in favor of WTE and the increased interest of municipal governments in clean technologies, market barriers still limit private sector participation in WTE. However, through ongoing discussions with stakeholders, the project team identified that China Everbright International Limited (CEIL) can effectively burn MSW in Viet Nam without the need to use supplemental fuel (such as coal) and enter a municipal level public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement.  

The Project will support the construction and operation of a series of WTE plants with advanced clean technologies including flue gas emission control to meet EU standards in multiple municipalities throughout Viet Nam.  The design of the proposed Project in Viet Nam took careful consideration of the experience from previous WTE projects.  ADB supported municipal and agricultural waste to energy projects in the PRC in 2009 and 2012. ADB?s portfolio approach has also facilitated the financing of multiple subprojects too small to be financed alone. This has contributed to PPP developments in municipal environmental infrastructure sector and has effectively mitigated GHG emissions.  

Emergency Rehabilitation of Calamity Damage Project (Supplementary). Flooding triggered by typhoons and storms is the most prevalent and serious natural disaster in Viet Nam. In 2005, tropical storms and typhoons affected large parts of Viet Nam, causing loss of life and extensive damage in 16 provinces. Many types of infrastructure that are critical to the livelihoods of poor rural households were destroyed in the 10 most seriously affected provinces: Ha Giang, Ha Tinh, Nam Dinh, Nghe An, Phu Tho, Phu Yen, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thanh Hoa, and Yen Bai.

In recognition of the strong link between vulnerability to natural disasters and persistent poverty, the Government's 5-year Socioeconomic Development Plan (SEDP) for 2006-2010 will increase investment in its poverty reduction programs in remote and disaster-stricken regions. For such vulnerable areas, the SEDP sets 12 poverty reduction and social development targets to be achieved by 2010  one is to build social welfare networks to reduce vulnerability of the disadvantaged and poor. This is to be achieved by, among others, preventing and mitigating natural disasters. The Country Strategy and Program (CSP) 2007-2010 for Viet Nam includes assistance in addressing climate change and the calamities that are expected as Viet Nam is among the most vulnerable developing countries to climate change and sea level rise.

In response to Government's request, Loan 2273-VIE(SF): Emergency Rehabilitation of Calamity Damage Project (the Project) in Special Drawing Rights (SDR) equivalent to $50.97 million of ADF resources was approved on 21 November 2006, signed on 07 December 2006 and became effective on 23 April 2007. The Project will (i) reinstate essential infrastructure, including roads, flood protection, irrigation systems, and social infrastructure in the ten provinces that were severely affected by typhoons and storms in 2005  and (ii) concurrently provide equivalent or enhanced storm and flood protection to vulnerable areas where feasible. The Project will also support increased disaster preparedness and mitigation, and will help the Government mainstream prevention and preparedness activities into the development process to prepare for and avoid the worst impacts of natural disasters.

Following a sector loan approach, which was applied to facilitate an effective emergency response, 89 subprojects with an estimated cost of $69.5 million were envisaged during Project appraisal. Subsequently, with delays in commencement of the Project and given the urgency of some, a number of subprojects were carried out solely using Government funds. Thus, the number of subprojects was reduced to 75, of which civil works contracts have been awarded and are being implemented for 7, bidding is being processed for another 33, and designs are being prepared for 23 subprojects. Work on the remaining 12 subprojects has not yet commenced and, unless additional financing is approved, may have to be abandoned. As of 31 March 2008, cumulative contract awards and disbursements were $7.8 million and $5.0 million, equivalent to 13.7% and 8.8% of the net loan amount, respectively. The ADB loan finances 85% of subproject construction costs.

Recent high inflation in the Viet Nam economy, which reached 21.4% in April 2008, has greatly increased costs of civil works, materials and labour. The high costs have been further compounded by delays in subproject implementation and additional damages to infrastructure caused by typhoons in 2006 and 2007. All subprojects now have total cost estimates that significantly exceed the original estimates of the Borrower. With price escalation, the Government executing agency (EA) has estimated the current total Project cost at $99.5 million, which represents total subproject cost overruns of $30.0 million, or cost overruns of 43.2%. Normally the Borrower finances cost overruns from its own resources and the EA is willing to apply for additional counterpart financing equivalent to 15% of subproject cost overruns. However, given the size and significance of recent price escalation in Viet Nam, the Government cannot finance the full extent of the increased costs and there is a risk that the number of subprojects will be further reduced. The Government is in general agreement to provide additional funding to the Project from the remaining balance of $225.5 million of Viet Nam's biennial ADF allocation for 2007-2008. This was confirmed during the Country Program Confirmation Mission in January 2008. 

Given the previous reduction in the number of subprojects from 89 to 75 and significant increase in construction costs for the remaining subprojects, and Government's inability to wholly finance the cost overruns, ADB staff consider an increase in ADB's and Government's contributions essential to ensure that the number of subprojects identified at appraisal is not further reduced. Any further reduction would jeopardize achievement of the original Project objectives and realization of the intended benefits.  

Power Transmission Investment Program - Tranche 1. The Project proposed for financing under Tranche 1 comprises the following three components:

(i)  expansion and upgrading of 500kV and 220kV transmission lines and associated substations throughout Viet Nam. Tranche 1 will financed four subprojects.

The Project will have four components: (1) leadership and strategy support for HIV/AIDS prevention among youth  (2) a national mass media program for behavior change  (3) community-based HIV/AIDS prevention resources for youth including harm reduction outreach services, HIV prevention for vulnerable youth, and primary prevention programs for youth and families  and (4) project management, capacity building, monitoring, and evaluation.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Corridor Towns Development Project. The project will enhance the competitiveness of towns along the East-West Economic Corridor (EWEC) and the Southern Economic Corridor (SEC) and support the development of the GMS transport corridors into vibrant economic corridors. The project will transform the corridor towns of Dong Ha, Lao Bao, and Moc Bai into economic hubs by improving urban environmental infrastructure and strengthening institutional capacities of provincial and local authorities. Increased climate resilience through flood control measures will significantly improve the productivity of economic enterprises in these towns. Clean wastewater, solid-waste disposal, and enhanced mobility on improved urban roads will improve the environment. The project will provide environmental infrastructure, of which wastewater treatment and solid-waste management specifically will help to reduce the carbon footprint of these towns, making them cleaner, greener, and more livable. The project finances 10 subprojects in the three towns.  

Central Mekong Delta Region Connectivity Project. The investment project will improve connectivity in the Mekong Delta Region in Viet Nam and provide efficient access from Ho Chi Minh City to the Southern Coastal Region through construction of two cable stayed bridges across the Mekong River and associated roads:
(i)	Component 1: Cao Lanh Bridge (2.0 km) and approach roads (5.4 km)  
(ii)	Component 2: Interconnecting Road (15.7 km)  
(iii)	Component 3: Vam Cong Bridge (2.97 km) and approach roads (4.08 km) 

The investment project is located on the boundaries of Dong Thap province and Can Tho city. The two cable stayed bridges will be constructed to four-lane carriageway and two-lane motorcycle lane standard with total bridge width of 27.5 meters and the interconnecting road will be constructed initially to four-lane standard with a formation width of 20.6 meters in the Southern section and 23.0 meters in the Northern section  to be widened to six-lane standard in future.

Associated with the investment project, ADB approved a technical assistance (TA 7822, the TA project) fully financed by the Government of Australia. This TA project was approved to meet two fundamental project needs: (i) preparing detailed designs and bidding documents for the portion of the investment project that ADB and the Government of Australia are considering financing, and (ii) ensuring the early availability of social and environmental planning documents for the investment project. The objectives of the TA project were to: (i) reduce project start-up delays and speed up implementation of the investment project  (ii) respond to the government's target for construction and commissioning of the investment project during 2013-2017  (iii) reduce the government's loan servicing cost on the ADB loan for the investment project  and (iv) include construction supervision services and capacity building support, which are critical for the successful implementation of the investment project. Detailed designs, bidding documents, and safeguards planning documents were completed and advance action approved as part of the TA project. Procurement and safeguards implementation are well advanced. The project, thus, is expected to be completed within the Loan Closing date.  

Thanh Hoa City Comprehensive Socioeconomic Development Project. The Project seeks to enable an intermediary state of development for Thanh Hoa and support its socioeconomic enhancement. It is a comprehensive and multisectoral project that will target priority investments and create a suitable and sustainable urban environment for Thanh Hoa and strengthen its role as provincial capital. The Project will upgrade Thanh Hoa's urban core, integrate its peri-urban areas and further develop its urban infrastructure and key economic sectors. The expected outputs will be: (i) an improved urban road network (22 km) to link peri-urban urban villages with the city center along with complementary basic urban services  (ii) an expanded and upgraded water supply distribution network, including about 19 km of primary and secondary water supply pipes and  connections to expand the service to peri-urban areas and replacement of 19 km of damaged pipes in the city  (iii) improved drainage and wastewater treatment in Thanh Hoa through the construction of 47 km of interceptors for sewerage and drainage, 13 pumping stations, a central wastewater treatment pond, and three delocalized wastewater treatment facilities for the city general hospital  (iv) improved tourism infrastructure through the construction of tourism facilities at tourist sites in Ham  Rong and Mat Son  and (v) improved human capacity within local utilities and line departments of Thanh Hoa and THP and improved labor skills, achieved through the upgrading of vocational training centers and other capacity building initiatives.  

Agriculture Science and Technology. The Project aims to strengthen the national AST system in Viet Nam, thereby contributing to the sustainable and equitable growth of the agriculture sector and ultimately to reduced rural poverty. The Project will address critical issues involved in AST development, including the low level of linkages among key AST areas (agricultural research, extension, and training), and the gap in the capacity of physical and human resources for the national AST system. The Project will contribute to the resolution of these issues and increase the effectiveness and relevance of AST activities for clients to receive benefits of improved AST, and promote on-farm and off-farm sustainable use of natural resources. Including the three key AST areas under the Project as part of the integrated national system is vital if the full potential of AST development is to be realized. 

The Project scope will cover (i) client-oriented agricultural research and capacity strengthening, (ii) grassroots agricultural extension improvement, and (iii) rural-based technical and vocational training. The activities will be undertaken through close linkages among the components. Specific project outcomes will include (i) improved capacity of physical and human resources for agricultural research, (ii) increased responsiveness of agricultural research activities to client needs, (iii) improved farmer access to participatory and pro-poor agricultural extension services, (iv) strengthened linkage between agricultural research and extension, (v) increased responsiveness of rural-based technical and vocational training to national sector goals, and (vi) strengthened capacity of rural-based agricultural training. The project scope has been carefully designed to avoid overlapping, and be technically complementary to the ongoing policy and institutional reforms under the ASDP.  

Second Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Development Program - Subprogram II. The Subprogram seeks to assist sustainable high economic growth in Viet Nam, by supporting the development and competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Subprogram will support the Government reforms efforts by: (i) enhancing the policy and planning framework for SME development  (ii) improving the efficiency of administrative systems in support of SME development and operations  (iii) strengthening the regulatory framework for competition policy  and (iv) enhancing SME access to finance.  

Northern Mountain Provinces Transport Connectivity Project. The project will improve and upgrade two road stretches totaling 198 km that connect several towns and districts in the provinces of Lai Chau, Lao Cai and Yen Bai to the Noi Bai Lao Cai Expressway. These road stretches will connect to other main roads under the Lao Cai province transport development master plan to improve network connectivity with the Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway. The existing roads pass through very difficult terrain with high mountains or large rivers, so many substandard curves and grades have been adopted. Their conditions are poor  the average travel speed is 25 km per hour and several sections are not passable year round. Therefore, a major rehabilitation or improvement is required to accommodate the expected traffic growth due to the current economic development of the region.

The improved connectivity will (i) provide reliable access to basic social services such as education, health care, job training, and emergency disaster relief, and (ii) increase economic and employment opportunities for the people of the northwestern provinces, especially the poor ethnic minorities. The enhanced connectivity to the Noi Bai Lao Cai Expressway will provide further opportunities of cross-border trade with the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the People's Republic of China (PRC). The improved roads will help save travel time and costs, hence reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The improvement and upgrade works will ensure consistency of standards over the entire road stretches, including climate resilience features namely slope protection measures in areas prone to landslides and rockfalls, raising and/or reconstructing highway embankments and bridges along road sections prone to dangerous flooding, and increasing cross-drainage capacity. The project will include awareness campaigns for road safety, HIV/AIDS, and human trafficking which will enable the vulnerable ethnic minorities to cope with possible negative impacts of the project roads.  

Greater Mekong and Subregion (GMS) Southern Coastal Corridor Project. The Project will complete the Greater Mekong Subregion Southern Coastal Corridor (GMS-SCC) in Cambodia and Viet Nam. The Project will include the following components: (i) Rehabilitation of Transport Infrastructure. In Cambodia 15 km of NR33 will be improved to the border with Viet Nam at Preak Chak. In Viet Nam 89.5 km of National Highway (QL) 80 and QL63 will be improved, include construction of two large bridges across the Cai Be and Cai Lon Rivers  (ii) Cross Border Facilities. A new cross border facility will be provided, the design will take into account the ongoing work on the implementation of the GMS Cross-Border Transport Agreement  (iii) HIV/AIDS and trafficking awareness and prevention  and (iv) Road maintenance in Cambodia.  

Productive Rural Infrastructure Sector Project in the Central Highlands. The project aims to regenerate and upgrade underdeveloped or outdated productive rural infrastructure (PRI), targeting areas with good potential for agricultural production with existing irrigation schemes. The PRI investments will include irrigation and associated access infrastructure. The project will be carried out in Viet Nam's Central Highland provinces (CHPs) of Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, and Lam Dong over 5 years. It directly supports the Government of Viet Nam's National Target Program for New Rural Development, 2010-2020 (NRD) with activities based on the socioeconomic development plans (SEDPs) of the participating provinces. It supports the National Water Resources Strategy (NWRS), 2006-2020, for which the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is playing a major role in revising and updating water resources policy and strengthening water sector institutions.  

Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City Power Grid Development Sector Project. The project will strengthen the capacities and reliabilities of the power infrastructure in the two largest cities of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (Viet Nam) - Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City - through rehabilitation, expansion and development of the 220 kilovolt (kV) and 110 kV electricity power grids in the respective cities. The Government of Viet Nam has requested for a sector loan from ADB's OCR and a sector loan funded through participation of the AIF to assist with the financing of the project. The project is included in the country partnership strategy, 2012-2015 for Viet Nam.  

Strengthening Water Management and Irrigation Systems Rehabilitation Project. The project is designed to address two binding constraints that contribute to the core sector problem of poor quality and delivery of water-related services. These constraints are insufficient human resource capacity and inadequate public infrastructure. The project will address these constraints by funding education facilities to train engineers in water-related fields that are needed to meet the heightened demands of a rapidly growing economy. The project will also address the requirements of dilapidated irrigation and drainage infrastructure with funding to upgrade and modernize the management of irrigation canal systems. It will help the government increase the number of qualified agriculturerelated
water management engineers, improve the governance and management of irrigation systems, increase agricultural production, and improve the productivity of project areas to
increase poor farmers' incomes and reduce poverty.  

Greater Mekong and Subregion (GMS) Kunming-Haiphong Transport Corridor: Yen Vien-Lao Cai Railway Upgrading Project. The Project is designed to promote sustainable economic growth by rehabilitating 285 kilometers of railway line from Yen Vien station in the the northern suburbs of Hanoi to Lao Cai on the border with the People's Republic of China (the PRC). The Project will develop a safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable railway transport system in the northwest region of Viet Nam, enhance connectivity with the PRC through the Kunming-Hai Phong transport corridor, and assist with institutional reform of the railway subsector.  

Climate Resilient Inclusive Infrastructure for Ethnic Minorities Project I. The project is aligned with the following impact: inclusive socioeconomic development of Binh Dinh and Quang Nam provinces accelerated.  The project will have the following outcome: social and economic status and inclusiveness of ethnic minorities communities improved.  
Output 1: Transport infrastructure improved. The project will upgrade seven district and commune roads totaling about 121.8 km, which will improve connectivity and mobility of EMCs within seven districts with a total population of 206,700 of which an average of 48% belong to EMCs. The climate-resilient transport links will integrate remote rural production into market chains and processing facilities. Freight movement of acacia and high value crops will be improved. The effort of EMCs to dependably reach essential services including health, education, and markets will be reduced. The overall transport network will be much more efficient, reducing travel time for road users and especially improving access to health, education, and market services especially for women who already suffer from time poverty.

Output 2: Water resource infrastructure improved. This output will benefit about 36,300 people through the construction, upgrade, rehabilitation, or stabilization of: (i) RDWSs to provide water to approximately 18,600 people through 115 km of piped networks  (ii) an existing reservoir to support 117 ha of irrigation command area with more reliable and efficient water supply  and (iii) cultural tourism infrastructure including one river defense - 3.6 km of embankment, visitor car parking and solid waste collection in district's communities with a total population of 17,700 of which 94% are from EMCs. Activities under this output will improve communities' health by reducing the risk of water borne diseases and will particularly benefit women by reducing their time for water collection.

Output 3: Data systems for climate risk management updated. This output will provide improved access to reliable weather and climate data, in a timely and cost-effective manner, to user agencies to inform a wide range of decisions including design of climate resilient infrastructure, strengthened early warning systems, and improved disaster response.  High level online technology will be employed to improve the capacity of existing data and client interfaces managed by the provincial government, to collect, archive, and share data.  

Phuoc Hoa Water Resources Project (Supplementary). The Project was prepared in 2003. This led to approval of an initial ADB loan of SDR63.042 million in November 2003 with cofinancing from the Agence Française de Developpement (AFD) of 29.6 million.  Project implementation was initially deficient and has also been affected by cost increases caused by high inflation in Viet Nam's economy. This has led to cost overruns and a financing gap of $131.6 million (see Table 1). However, implementation progress improved markedly with the mobilization of project implementation consultants in May 2006 and the transfer of overall project management responsibility to the Hydraulic Project Investment and Construction Management Board No.9 (ICMB9), based in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), in November 2006.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway Project – Tranche 2. The Project constructs a 57.1 km expressway between Ben Luc and Long Thanh in the south of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), which is a short link of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Southern Economic Corridor. The project expressway is divided into a western section (21.14 km), a middle section (10.71 km), and an eastern section (25.25 km). For the expressway construction, ADB finances the western and eastern sections, and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) finances the middle section. The project was estimated to cost $1.608 billion at appraisal, inclusive of local taxes, contingencies, and financing charges during development. Tranche 2 in the amount of $286 million will cover construction of the eastern section of the expressway.  

Mainstreaming Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Lending Project. ADB will provide a senior unsecured loan to Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) of up to $200 million in up to two tranches in tenors of up to 5 years. ADB expects to syndicate a B loan of up to $100,000,000 among commercial banks and other eligible B loan participants on a best-effort basis and subject to market conditions.  

Financial Sector Deepening Program (Subprogram 2). Subprogram 2 continues and deepens the reforms begun under subprogram 1. It will support the development of a well-functioning money market and a deeper and more liquid capital market, and improve the capacity of public and private institutions in the finance sector.  

Vietnam Prosperity Bank Expanding Access to Finance for Women-Owned Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Project. The proposed loan of up to $500 million to Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank comprising (i) a senior unsecured A Loan of up to $100,000,000 and (ii) B Loan of up to $400,000,000, expanding access to finance for women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises.  

Water Sector Investment Program - Tranche 3. In November 2014, Asian Development Bank (ADB) received the State Bank of Vietnam's periodic financing request letter for project 3 requesting $142.5 million to finance seven water companies (WSCs) having completed their project preparation and initiated advance action under project 2. The investments would improve water services for 1.2 million persons, including 17,500 poor households with their own piped water connection for the first time.

Project 3 outputs will support the multitranche financing facility (MFF) outputs: (i) increased coverage  (ii) improved business planning, financial management, and asset management  and (iii) effective nonrevenue water reduction for seven WSCs for the following: Bac Giang City, Cua Lo Town, Nghi Son Economic Zone, Tam Hiep-Dien Nam, Dien Ngoc Towns, Thai Hoa Town, Thai Nguyen City and Vinh City in four provinces.

Special features of project 3 include (i) promoting technical and financial sustainability by enforcing water tariff increase to full-cost recovery, while reducing subsidies and meeting targets of selected key performance indicators  (ii) providing access to finance for second-ranked WSCs willing to secure their debt through water tariff increase, resulting in greater access to safe water for the poor  and (iii) promotion of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts.

The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), coordinating agency for the MFF, is responsible for (i) selecting WSCs that can access the MFF, and (ii) consolidating reports with the assistance of the WSCs. Under project 3, the project management is delegated to the WSCs, and the provincial people committees (PPCs) are the executing agencies. Each WSC has set up a project management unit (PMU) in its organizational structure under project 2. The PMU organizes the procurement of consulting services and works. The MPI has no role in procurement. 

Project 3 is structured with one loan to the government. The Ministry of Finance will sign seven subsidiary loan agreements  with the participating WSCs with a letter of guarantee from the respective PPC, after the loan signing. Each WSC, acting as implementing agency, will implement its procurement plan separately. The MPI will consolidate the reporting with assistance of the WSCs. The project performance management information system was set-up under project 1 and applies to all subsequent tranches.  

Sustainable Urban Transport for Ho Chi Minh Mass Rapid Transit Line 2. The Project will develop an integrated public transport system in six districts of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) that will support effective utilization of HCMC Urban Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 2 .  Improved public transport will facilitate connectivity and greatly enhance access to transport services in five districts of HCMC, as well as support the HCMC Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP) objective of increasing public transport usage to over 40% of demand and reducing dependency on private vehicles.  

The Project will provide infrastructure for improving accessibility to MRT2 stations, implement feeder bus links, integrated multi-modal stations with "park and ride" facilities where appropriate, infrastructure for improving accessibility to MRT2 stations as well as a parking plan for the city. Project management and institutional capacity building measures, together with expected policy and regulatory reforms, will also help achieve an improved public transport system and reduce GHG emissions.  The project components, public transport services and other facilities will be designed to incorporate gender sensitive features that will compliment similar measures under the MRT2 project.  

Integrated Rural Development Sector Project in the Central Provinces. The overall impact of the project is expected to enhance rural livelihood opportunities and standard of living for the rural population residing in the Central Region of Viet Nam. This is to be achieved through improved quality, greater coverage and bettter integration of rural infrastructure. The Project has the following components: (i) rural and coastal infrastructure, further divided into (a) rural and coastal infrastructure subprojects, and (b) design support studies and community participation  (ii) capacity building  and (iii) central project management.  

Second Health Care in the Central Highlands Project. The project will help the government to further reduce maternal and child mortality by addressing access to and quality gaps in commune health stations (CHSs) and hospitals and by strengthening provincial health management in five provinces, thereby targeting the poor, ethnic groups, and women and children in particular.  

Ha Noi Metro Line Sysem Project (Line 3: Nhon-Hanoi Station Section) Additional Financing. The Project will establish an integrated sustainable public transport system in six districts of Ha Noi by constructing 12.5 kilometers of a dual track rail metro line from Nhon to Ha Noi railway station. The Project will develop a new double track metro rail line in Ha Noi, which is one of four priority lines of a planned larger urban transportation system under the Ha Noi Urban Transport Master Plan (HUTMP). Metro line 3 will (i) facilitate public transport connectivity, (ii) greatly enhance access in six districts of Ha Noi, and (iii) be an an important integral part of an improved public transport system, which aims to achieve increased public modal share through low-carbon transport that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.  

Crisis Recovery Support Program (Program Grant). The Program will provide short-term fiscal stimulus to mitigate the economic and social impact of the crisis. The Program will help meet critical public expenditures such as social allowances, employment programs, and food and utilities expenses of social institutions. 

The Program is fully in line with the Government's economic stabilization and expenditure management programs. Under the latter, the Government has prioritized specific social and safety net expenditures for the revised 2009 budget. Program proceeds will help meet some of the prioritized public expenditures.

The Program has four special features:
"First, it is anchored fully on the IMF's Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), which sets out the key macroeconomic parameters and identifies priority reform measures. 
" Second, it uses the Program-Based Approach recognized under Asian Development Bank's (ADB's) Program Lending Policy. TCSP is structured on the Government's crisis mitigation program. The Government has adopted a crisis budget, which cuts non-essential expenditures and prioritizes social sector spending. ADB's financing will be part of the overall financing plan of the crisis mitigation program.
" Third, TCSP does not have a policy matrix or separate reform measures, in order to swiftly meet the counter-cyclical fiscal stimulus needs of Tajikistan.
" Fourth, ADB-through technical assistance and close coordination with other development partners-will focus on ensuring good financial management of the crisis-mitigation program.  

Water Resources Management in the Pyanj River Basin Project (Additional Finance). The project will support the development of the State Agency for Hydrometeorology (Hydromet) to a sustainable and well-resourced institution that produces timely and accurate forecasting of extreme weather events particularly in the Pyanj River Basin. In doing so, the project will address key institutional weaknesses. The project will (i) modernize Hydromet's campus and associated facilities, (ii) support legal and organizational transformation and capacity building of Hydromet into a government entity with flexibility to set staff salaries and retain additional entrepreneurial revenue, (iii) undertake capacity building for improve forecasting and warning of extreme weather events, and (iv) support development and implementation of a viable business model through marketing of fee-based services.  

Wholesale Metering and Transmission Reinforcement Project. The proposed project will improve: (i) electricity wholesale metering and billing all over the Republic of Tajikistan  and (ii) electricity supply in Panjakent region through reinforcement of high voltage transmission network.  The outcome of the project will be an expanded and metered transmission system. The outputs of the project include: (i) installation of 2,700 wholesale meters and billing system  and (ii) 90 km of new 220kV transmission line interconnecting the Panjakent and Ayni regions. 

In 2001 the government initiated a three phase (commercialization, separation, privatization) restructuring process of Barki Tojik. The first phase, commercialization, is extensively supported by ADB through Sector Operational Performance Improvement Program (SOPI).   The program addresses the issues of governance, financial management, control and audit, legal and regulatory frameworks, management systems, organizational structure and technical operations. On 11 June 2013, the government approved the restructuring action plan and new structure of Barki Tojik, with three departments under the same legal entity  generation, transmission, and distribution. Heads of these departments have already been appointed and formation of new structure, based on international practices of modern power utility, is ongoing. 

Restructuring of Barki Tojik,  requires capital investments. The government undertook steps in this direction as well. The turnkey contract for installation of supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) and associated telecommunication system, financed by ADB,  is expected to be awarded in the first quarter of 2014. The World Bank and EBRD are financing the installation of the retail (end-user) meters in the two biggest load centers, Dushanbe and Khujand. The remaining gap is the bulk electricity metering from generation, through transmission and up to retail meters. There is a need of installation of wholesale meters and associated billing system, which will enable the management of Barki Tojik to: (i) account all electricity flows and associated costs  (ii) quantify technical and non-technical losses at the wholesale level of the entire grid, and plan actions for their reduction  and (iii) support the restructuring through definition of clear borders between generation, transmission and distribution. 

At the same time, certain parts the Tajikistan transmission grid of still suffer from disconnection from the Central Asian Power System in November 2009. Prior to the disconnection, the Penjikend region of Tajikistan, with population of 261,000 (39,122 customers), was supplied from two 220 kilovolt (kV) lines from Uzbekistan.  From Panjakent electricity was further transmitted to Ayni region with population of 75,000 (2,100 customers). Peak demands of Panjakent and Ayni are 75 MW and 20 MW, respectively. From Panjakent to Ayni electricity was transmitted over 102 kilometers through 110 kV line built in 1965 and with maximum rating of 67 MW. After 2009, these two regions became isolated from the main transmission grid of Tajikistan. 

Barki Tojik addressed the issue and in 2011 energized new Sugd-Ayni 220 kV line which interconnected Ayni with main transmission grid. From Ayni electricity is currently supplied further to Panjakent using old 110 kV line. However, since the demand in Panjakent is higher than the capacity of the line, households and industry in the region suffer from load shedding even in summer time, which is energy surplus period in Tajikistan. Additional transmission capacity is, urgently needed to satisfy current and future power demand, which is expected to grow to 100 MW in next 3-5 years primarily caused by industrial development.  

COVID-19: Vaccine Support Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The project responds to the government's request for ADB support under APVAX to help meet COVID-19 vaccine response challenges. In accordance with the guidance of the APVAX policy, the project investment component under APVAX will support ADB?s procurement and project implementation, which will benefit Tajikistan given due diligence assessments that identified fiduciary-related risks.  

Water Resources Management in the Pyanj River Basin Project (Second Additional Financing). The proposed grant will help finance the cost overruns of the original project for constructing a sediment excluding basin (SEB), which is the key infrastructure for the sustainability of the project to decrease the sediment inflow by 85% to the upper stream of the Chubek Irrigation System (CIS). The cost overrun was identified by acquisition of historical suspended sediment particle size distribution data and detailed topographic data during the detailed design stage which was not available during the feasibility study. The data resulted in a revised design criteria and general arrangements to address the new information, and accommodate an alternative basin flushing method. It was identified that a larger basin size will be required to achieve the expected sediment removal, and the construction cost for the SEB will increase accordingly.  

Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and Migration. The program will aim to mitigate the risks of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) - in a context characterized by cross-border seasonal migration and human trafficking - during and after the implementation of the proposed Dushanbe-Kyrgyz Border Road Rehabilitation Project (II). This will be done by supporting local Government, NGOs and communities to develop and implement an integrated and gender-responsive approach to HIV/AIDS and STI prevention in the campsites and corridor of influence. The Project area covers three districts from the Region of Republican Subordination, namely the districts of Nurabad, Rasht, and Tajikabad with 26 jamoats (or villages) and a population of about 180,900 (2003), and includes the 12-km section at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border (Karamik). The Project area - commonly referred to as the Rasht Valley - is characterized by a combination of gender-relevant factors, which have to be considered in the design of HIV/STI prevention programs. These include: traditional rural societies, seasonal male labor migration to the Russian Federation, conservative religious beliefs and associated gender-based practices, high percentage of female-headed (including Tajik war widow-headed) households, women's lack of employable skills, increasing drug trafficking and consumption patterns, and HIV/AIDS and STI stigmas and discrimination. The program will have three subcomponents: (1) Capacity development for local government agencies and NGOs, providing training to implement the Government's policies, strategies, and regulations in HIV/STI prevention, anti-trafficking and regulation of migration  (2) Behavior Change and Communication for local communities and high-risk groups, aimed at reducing the level of risk along the road corridor and establishing an environment conducive to the maintenance of safe behavior among seasonal migrants  women  IDU  sex workers  and transport and construction operators  and (c) Clinical Support, through the provision of HIV testing kits and STI treatment packages to health clinics, to help them meet incremental needs of mobile populations and local communities.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 3 and 5 Enhancement Project. The impact of the project will be enhanced regional economic cooperation and inclusive economic growth in Tajikistan. The outcome will be improved regional network (CAREC corridors 3 and 5 and the subnetwork) connectivity. The project outputs will be (i) improved road conditions and enhanced road safety on CAREC corridors 3 and 5 (the Sayron-Karamyk road section, 88 km) and the subnetwork (the Vose-Khovaling road, 87 km) totaling 175 km  (ii) extended access to local communities through the improvement of rural feeder roads  and (iii) institutional strengthening of project management, contract supervision, and efficient road maintenance.  

Investment Climate Reforms Program (Subprogram 1). The Investment Climate Reforms Program is a policy-based programmatic approach with three subprograms of reforms that promote private sector development and expansion of economic opportunities. The program provides budget support to (i) reduce costs of doing business, (ii) strengthen protection for businesses, and (iii) increase business innovation and productivity.

Under the program, ADB provides the government with advice on the design and implementation of new policy and institutional mechanisms to improve the investment climate. ADB budget support also provides the government with incentives to undertake reforms that otherwise would be delayed or not implemented. ADB support is important because the political system is often divided and vested interests resist economic policy changes. The programmatic approach is the best modality to implement the required reforms in a chronologically sequenced manner.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 2, 3, And 5 (Obigarm-Nurobod) Road Project. The Obigarm-Nurobod road section of the existing M41 highway, which carries about 3,000 vehicles per day, will be inundated once the HPP reservoir has filled to operating levels. The realignment of this road section through the river valley is not part of the Rogun HPP project. A bypass road must be completed and opened to traffic by latest November 2023, the date by which the rising water in the HPP reservoir will have inundated several critical sections of the M41 highway. No other part of Tajikistan's national highway network can provide for this traffic, and the only alternative route would represent a deviation of about 500 km. The government has requested ADB's assistance to construct a 72 km long road section that will bypass the HPP reservoir through mountainous terrain (the project road). It will be constructed to two-lane asphalt surfaced standard, and will include three tunnels with a total length of about 6 km, one high level bridge about 700 m long, and 13 shorter bridges with a total length of about 975 m. The construction of some parts of the project road started in 1988 (mostly earthworks) but was suspended following the abandonment of the Rogun HPP project.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The proposed COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support (CARES) program will support the implementation of the government?s countercyclical measures, targeting the poor and vulnerable while meeting financing needs and achieving debt sustainability. The program is aligned with the overarching development objective: COVID-19 transmission reduced while minimizing economic, public, and social impacts. The effect of the program will be: COVID-19 outbreak more effectively managed, and social and economic impacts reduced. The program has three outputs: (i) health measures for COVID-19 country preparedness and response implemented, (ii) increased social assistance and food security measures implemented, and (iii) enhanced support for business entities and measures to safeguard employment implemented. The proposed CARES program grant is $50 million.  The program is coordinated with ADB?s overall assistance package to the CAREC region, incorporating a regional cooperation aspect in responding to this global as well as regional crisis. The program will also support CAREC-2030?s Operational Cluster 5 (human development), by addressing pandemic risks and controlling transboundary communicable diseases. The CARES program will also promote the adoption of international preparedness and response standards and best practices, especially those recommended by WHO, to manage pandemics and public health emergencies. Food, medical items, seeds, and fertilizers from neighboring countries will be procured as measures for the COVID-19 response.  

Power Sector Development Program. The proposed Power Sector Development Program (PSDP) will accelerate the implementation of on-going reforms and restore financial sustainability of the power sector in Tajikistan. ADB has supported Tajikistan power sector reforms through the ongoing Sector Operation Performance Improvements (SOPI) program, which has built the basis for the fundamental reform program of PSDP that includes unbundling of the vertically integrated power utility company, restructuring of the utility's excessive liabilities, establishment of a regulator, adoption of a tariff methodology, and establishment of a new centralized cash control system among unbundled entities. As a part of reforms and institutional capacity building, a newly established power distribution company will be given a 5-year management contract. Investments in the retail advanced metering system in Dushanbe and 6 other cities will also fill the key deficiencies in the sector's power loss accounting and bill collection systems. The program is included in the Country Operations Business Plan, 2019-2021. A separately approved transaction technical assistance facility (FTRTA) will be used to finalize due diligence activities.  

Water Resources Management in Pyanj River Basin Project. The proposed Water Resources Management in the Pyanj River basin (PRB) Project will improve institutional and physical capacities of water resources management (WRM) system in PRB of southern Tajikistan, and it will: (i) establish a PRB organization, council, and Joint PRB committee, and develop a PRB management plan  (ii) modernize and climate-proof the Chubek Irrigation System (CIS)  and (iii) improve farm and water use management capacities.  

The impact of the proposed project will be increased farm incomes in CIS area of PRB. The outcome will be increased agricultural water productivity in CIS area of PRB. The key outputs will be (i) WRM capacity improved in PRB  (ii) WRM infrastructure in PRB modernized and climate-proofed  (iii) farm management and water use capacities increased  and (iv) efficient and effective project management system. The installation of a sediment basin, the replacement of pumps and motors in the pump stations with energy efficient ones, and more profitable farm management to enable them to pay water use levies will result in more sustainable O&M of CIS. 

ALRI will be the executing agency to manage the overall project implementation. MEWR will be the implementing agency responsible for implementing output 1. Considering that the reform of WRM system is still ongoing, implementation arrangement will be further clarified during project preparation. A representative to be appointed by ALRI and MEWR each will serve as the project director and the deputy project director, respectively. The international competitive bidding will be the majority of procurement, and all procurement will follow ADB's Procurement Guidelines (2013, as amended from time to time). Consulting firms will be recruited to support the project implementation following ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time).   

The proposed project is categorized as "complex." While MLRWR had reasonable administration capacity for externally financed projects including ADB's financed projects, it should be confirmed during project preparation whether ALRI inherited the capacity from MLRWR. The proposed project will be category B for impact on involuntary resettlement, C for impact on indigenous peoples, and B for impact on environment. 

PPTA will be implemented over a period of 11 months (July 2014-May 2015).  

Improving the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Secondary Education Project. The project aims to build a human capital base to support Tajikistan’s transition to higher labor productivity and competitiveness. It will strengthen gender-inclusive access to quality secondary education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects and develop climate change awareness among the country’s secondary school graduates. The project proposes to modernize teaching, upgrade the learning environment, improve school management, introduce and integrate climate change education, and expand girls’ participation in STEM studies and women’s career paths toward high-productivity sectors.  

Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training. The impact of the proposed Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project (the project) will be a national workforce with an increased proportion of skilled workers employed in Tajikistan. The outcome will be a demand-driven, quality-assured, and flexible TVET system responsive to labor market needs.

The project comprises four outputs, as follows: (i) TVET system methodology modernized  (ii) physical learning facilities in selected TVET institutions upgraded  (iii) access to quality TVET programs improved  and (iv) governance and management of TVET system strengthened. These are explained below.

Output 1: TVET system methodology modernized. The project will develop competency standards and assessment tools aligned to an adapted European Qualification Framework (EQF).  Competency-based training (CBT) curriculum and gender-sensitive learning materials will be developed, and competency assessors for 17 occupations will be trained. The occupations have been selected based on the government's development priorities, a labor market survey conducted during project preparation, and inputs from key stakeholders.  An implementation plan for the development of the CBT components has been developed involving industry sector working groups, training providers, and development partners.  Guidelines and manuals will be prepared to promote future sustainability and institutionalize tasks related to development of competency standards, qualifications and curriculum. The Center for Training Methodology and Monitoring of Education Quality (CTMMEQ) under MOLME will take the lead in implementing Output 1. The project will build CTMMEQ capacity a twinning partnership with a reputable foreign workforce development agency. The CBT curriculum and learning materials will be piloted in 29 TVET institutions. The project will strengthen the selected TVET institutions' core programs to enable them to serve as resource centers for other TVET institutions in their respective sectors.

Output 2: Physical learning facilities in selected TVET institutions upgraded. The project will upgrade the physical learning and teaching facilities of the selected TVET institutions. The design of rehabilitation works takes into consideration teaching requirements, student needs, and environmental and social safeguards. In three project sites, green reconstruction and power approaches will demonstrate options for general building rehabilitation, and help train teachers and students in green reconstruction. The project will also support gender-appropriate dormitory upgrades, which will help increase female student access to formal TVET system. 

Output 3: Access to quality TVET programs improved. The project will develop an in-service TVET teachers training plan to provide teachers and masters with a clear understanding of the CBT methodology, competencies n student-centered training delivery, and practical knowledge and skills in respective technology areas through industry internships.

Output 4: Governance and management strengthened. The project will support the establishment and operation of industry advisory committees and working groups in the five priority sectors  training in modern TVET management, strengthening of the secretariat of the National Coordination Council for Vocational Education and Training  provision of equipment for the Scientific Research Institute on Labour, Migration and Employment under MOLME to support annual labor market assessments  a social marketing program  development and implementation of the project monitoring and evaluation system  and designation of a resource center in each region to facilitate coordination and ensure efficient project implementation. A skills conference in year 4 will showcase CBT achievements.  

Dushanbe Water Supply and Sanitation Project (Supplemental Financing). The project will support Tajikistan in (i) rehabilitating and expanding climate-resilient water supply and sanitation (WSS) infrastructure, pilot testing the establishment of district metering areas (DMAs) for nonrevenue water (NRW) management in selected districts of Dushanbe city and rehabilitation of the south sewage collector, benefitting 352,000 people   and (ii) developing a business model for the State Unitary Enterprise Dushanbevodokanal (DVK) to improve the sustainability of operations, including an accountability and incentive mechanism with a performance benchmarking matrix and smart management system. The project will pilot test a behavior change component for raising public awareness on water usage and conservation and the benefits of smart meters. This is the first urban sector project of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Tajikistan, demonstrating efficient network management with potential for scaling up citywide. It is listed in the ADB country operations business plan for Tajikistan, 2018-2020.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Regional Road Corridor Improvement Project (Tajikistan). The PRC-Kyrgyz Republic-Tajikistan road corridor, which runs from Irkeshtam on the Kyrgyz Republic border with the People's Republic of China (PRC) to Dushanbe and is approximately 550 kilometers in length, is a key transport artery for the two landlocked countries, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan, to trade with the PRC. It is also an integral part of the regional road network in Central Asia linking the Kyrgyz Republic, PRC, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. The project road has become a bottleneck for regional trade and transport due to its poor condition and lack of maintenance. 

The Project will improve the Corridor's missing links. Its outputs include (i) improved 263 km of the two-lane road from Sary Tash in the Kyrgyz Republic to Nimich in Tajikistan (about 142 km from Sary Tash to the Kyrgyz-Tajik border and 121 km from the Kyrgyz-Tajik border to Nimich)  (ii) improved infrastructure at the Kyrgyz-PRC border crossing (Irkeshtam) and the Kyrgyz-Tajik border crossing (Karamik)  (iii) increased sustainability and capacity of the road subsector through outsourcing maintenance operations to the private sector in the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan  and (iv) a cross-border agreement among the Kyrgyz Republic, PRC, and Tajikistan.

The Project will contribute to reducing transport costs and fostering regional trade and cooperation among Kyrgyz Republic, PRC, Tajikistan, and other Central Asian countries. The project outcome is increased regional traffic and trade, along with improved access to regional markets and social services for people living along the Corridor.  

National Disaster Risk Management Project (Additional Financing). The additional financing will expand the scope and reinforce the outcome and outputs of the ongoing National Disaster Risk Management Project. This will be achieved by supporting persons displaced by disasters and enhancing the executing agency's technical and institutional capacities for strategic disaster risk management. The overall project will further enhance the disaster preparedness of the country against the projected heightened exposure to climate change.  

Sustainable Cotton Subsector Project. The project's impact is the development of an economically sustainable cotton subsector in Tajikistan's two major cotton-growing regions, Khatlon and Sughd. Its outcome is for the debt-restructured cotton farms in Vose and Yovon raions of Khatlon and Mastchoh and Zafarabad raions in Sughd to sustainably improve their financial viability based on market principles. 

The Project will provide three key outputs to achieve the desired outcome. The two key outputs in the four selected cotton-producing raions are that (i) the strategies, policy measures, and mechanisms to effectively address and resolve indebtedness of cotton farms are in place  and (ii) participating commercial banks (PCBs) provide suitable financing products and services to the debt-restructured cotton farms.  At the supply chain's marketing level, the Project's third output is putting into effect grading and marketing regulations, a joint venture established by the Government with an internationally recognized cotton classification organization, and bonding warehousing of cotton following international standards.  To support the delivery of the outputs, an effective Common Center for Project Management will be established.  

Project Readines Financing: Tourism Development Project. Tajikistan is recognized as a potential tourism hotspot because of its mountainous topography, natural assets, culture, and history as an important link along the old Silk Road. However, this potential remains largely untapped for various reasons, including poor connectivity, inadequate infrastructure, the absence of a comprehensive tourism ecosystem to ensure quality service delivery, weak institutional and regulatory capacity, and a poor business environment. The government has adopted modest measures to promote tourism, including the introduction of an e-visa system and the provision of tax exemptions for investments in tourism-related facilities such as small hotels and motels, hunting and fishing facilities, and mountaineering infrastructure. However, it has yet to formulate a tourism satellite account (TSA), which is a strategic prerequisite for developing and monitoring the tourism industry in the country and Asian Development Bank (ADB) support is needed to move the government's development efforts to the next level.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridor 6 (Ayni-Uzbekistan Border Road) Improvement Project. The project will finance the rehabilitation and reconstruction of a road of approximately 113 km between Ayni-Panjakent and the border with Uzbekistan, the improvement of road safety, the upgrading of Sarazm border post infrastructure and community development including improvement of feeder roads and public facilities and provision of training for local communities.

The impact of the project will be enhanced regional cooperation and inclusive economic growth in Tajikistan, particularly in the Sughd province. The outcome will be improved connectivity and mobility along the CAREC Corridor 6 (Ayni-Uzbekistan Border Road). The outputs will comprise (i) approximately 113 km of rehabilitated and reconstructed road between Ayni-Panjakent and the border with Uzbekistan  (ii) improved road safety  and (iii) upgraded Sarazm border post infrastructure and improved local communities.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 3 (Dushanbe-Uzbekistan Border) Improvement Project. CAREC Corridor 3 covers almost 7,000 km of roads and runs across Central Asia in the north-south direction, linking the Russian Federation to the Persian Gulf. The corridor serves as a main conduit for regional and international trade. The project will complete the corridor's missing link in Tajikistan's territory - the section from Dushanbe to the Uzbekistan border. This will help further reduce transport cost and travel time, and increase regional and transit trade.  

Finance Sector and Fiscal Management Improvement Program, Subprogram 2. The program continues to support the implementation of reforms in the National Development Strategy of the Republic of Tajikistan for the Period up to 2030 (NDS 2030) and its overarching objective of improving the standard of living by transitioning the economy toward industrial growth supported by investment in knowledge and innovation. 1 The program is a milestone in the NDS 2030, connecting past reform support by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to Tajikistan for improving banking sector stability, finance sector oversight and development, and fiscal management. Tajikistan is recovering from the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which caused severe economic and employment contraction and fiscal difficulties from about April 2020. Personal consumption dependent on the volume of remittances, and overall investment and growth are constrained by the turmoil in neighboring Afghanistan and the contraction of the Russian Federation economy because of foreign sanctions imposed over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Potential COVID-19 flare-ups, regional security risks, and slow progress in structural reforms further undermine the economic outlook. To help mitigate the impact of these emerging challenges on overall reform progress, the program has been strengthened to ensure that the government stays on course by (i) insulating the originally planned and needed medium-term reform efforts from the effects of the various crises  and (ii) adding urgent reforms to improve governance and fiscal management, including public debt management and tax reforms, which are crucial enablers of the original medium-term reform agenda.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Regional Improvement of Border Services Project (RIBS). The project will support the construction and renovation of border crossing points (BCPs) in cases where investments to upgrade complementary facilities on the other side of the border have been completed or are nearing completion. National single windows (NSWs) alone would not be enough to achieve best results because all CAREC countries are transit countries and shipments have to cross multiple borders. This requires networking and the interoperability of NSWs at the CAREC regional level. 

The project will benefit from ongoing and proposed CAREC Customs Cooperation Committee initiatives, including joint customs control, simplification of customs procedures, and the development of information and communication technology for customs modernization. Specifically, the project will focus on the following:

1. BCP improvement. The project will improve infrastructure at two road BCPs to improve working conditions and performance of border management personnel, and reduce processing time and cost: 
(i) In the Kyrgyz Republic, at the Karamyk BCP, located along CAREC corridors 3b and 5, (a) the inspection facilities including customs, sanitary and quarantine, and veterinary checkpoints will be improved to handle traffic growth and improve the inspection process  and (b) power, water supply and sewerage facilities, communication facilities, and office and inspection equipment will be provided. 
(ii) In Tajikistan, at the Guliston BCP, located in a key conduit of the regional Osh-Khujand highway, facilities will be upgraded and equipped, including infrastructure for vehicle inspection and two new border check posts, and water supply and sewerage facilities provided.

2. NSW development. This project will support the establishment of NSW facilities to streamline data submission to international trade regulators, and ensure conformity of submitted data with the requirements of business processes in various stages of trade and transport in the international supply chain. International standards will be adopted to ensure regional interoperability.  The subcomponents of NSW facilities in the two countries include (i) single window and trade portal software development  (ii) single window backup system and hardware, regional centers, and trade portal hardware  (iii) certificate of origin and licensed track and trace of system development  (iv) operating assistance to the single window governance and working groups  (v) business process analysis and re-engineering (for up to 10 government agencies)  (vi) legal and regulatory framework review  (vii) stakeholder engagement and public awareness activities  and (viii) market study and research. In terms of sequencing, a flexible software development process will incorporate possible policy and regulatory changes resulting from subcomponents (v) and (vi).  

Golovnaya 240-Megawatt Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation Project. The proposed Project will increase supply of renewable energy to national and regional power systems. The Project will refurbish electric and mechanical equipment for power generation at Golovnaya Hydropower Plant (HPP) in Tajikistan. This will increase availability of year-round clean power for domestic sales and for export to Afghanistan. The Project will increase the generation capacity and operational efficiency of the power plant.   

The total installed generation capacity of Tajikistan is 5,055 MW. A large share of hydro generation (98%) is impacted by hydrology fluctuation and results in summer surplus and winter deficit. The power assets in Tajikistan have aged beyond their economic life. The maintenance has been kept at insufficient level due to non availability of spare parts and lack of funding at the vertically integrated state power utility Barki Tojik. The power sector regional master plan, prepared in 2012 under the Central Asian Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC),  identified that nearly 80% of all generation and transmission assets in the country need to be replaced in order to meet the demand and eliminate winter deficit. The master plan identified rehabilitation of Golovnaya HPP as a priority generation project. ADB Country Partnership Strategy 2010-2014 defines the rehabilitation of existing hydro power plants as one of the key areas for intervention. The reliable and secured operation of the large generation plant and high voltage transmission network is equally important for reliability of interconnected neighboring grid and is a prerequisite for power trade

The impact of the Project will be increased supply of renewable energy to national and regional power systems from 743 GWh in 2012 to 1,130 GWh in 2026. The Project outcome will be increased weighted average generation efficiency of the power plant from maximum 83% to 89%. The Project output will be rehabilitated Golovnaya HPP with generation capacity increased from 240 MW to 252 MW.  

Skills and Employability Enhancement Project. The project aims to promote inclusive growth in Tajikistan by improving the vocational, technical and soft skills and employability of youth (ages 15 - 29), women, and labor migrants. It will support (i) the construction of migration service centers (MSCs) to provide more comprehensive services to labor migrants  (ii) the construction of model "Job Centers" that will provide market-responsive training and employment services for youth and women  and (iii) the capacity development of migration and employment agencies.  

Preparing the Khatlon Province Flood Management Project. Tajikistan is susceptible to natural disasters, particularly floods. The floods of 1998 and 1999 were especially devastating, causing 32 deaths and agricultural and infrastructure damage estimated at $55 million. 

The Project aims to help Tajikistan address recurring flood risks through a holistic and coordinated approach involving both physical and non-physical measures in one of the most floodprone areas in the country - Hamadoni, Farkhor, Kulyab, and Vose districts in Khatlon province. A major part of the Project funds will be used for the physical works for the rehabilitation of 8.3 km of flood protection embankment along the Pyanj River. In addition, the project will develop and disseminate a flood risk map, strengthen flood warning systems, prepare a flood preparedness and evacuation plan, and strengthen flood forecasting capacity by rehabilitating the hydrometeorological network. 

Given that the Pyanj River borders Tajikistan and Afghanistan, the possible environmental impacts of the Project's physical works in both Tajikistan and Afghanistan were examined. The initial environment examination study found that there is unlikely to be significant negative environmental impact. The Project is expected to have a significant positive impact on ecological resources and socioeconomic conditions in the area. 

In addition, the project will help the Government define and implement the policy reforms needed to improve its flood preparedness, and to remove some of its persisting operation and maintenance (O&M) funding constraints for the flood levees and bank protection works.

The Project will strengthen capacity at the Ministry of Land Reclamation and Water Resources (MLRWR) and the local government bodies to manage flood disaster risks, and to apply
need-based O&M budget planning, allocations, and monitoring for the flood protection structures. The application of performance based O&M contracts will also be pilot tested.  

Regional Power Transmission Interconnection Project (Afghanistan/Tajikistan). The Project will interconnect the power grids in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

The Project's scope will cover the construction of a 220 kilovolt (kV) double-circuit transmission line that will link the hydropower stations located on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan to the border town of Sherkan Bandar  then to Kunduz, Baglan, and Pul-e-Khumri in Afghanistan. This line will be ultimately linked to Afghanistan's major electricity demand centre, Kabul, through the Afghan 220 kV corridor currently under construction, linking Pul-e-Khumri to Kabul.

The Project will also include upgrading and new investments in Tajikistan that will help reduce the winter power deficit by (i) increasing the available level of generation, and (ii) decreasing the level of technical losses in south Tajikistan. Both measures will aim to export 300 megawatt (MW) to Afghanistan and generate additional 320 gigawatt-hour (GWh) annually in Tajikistan. 

The Project is in line with the governments' strategies and policies. In Afghanistan, the policy is to provide reliable power supply to all Afghans. In Tajikistan, the policy is to maximize the use of its hydropower assets. 

The project scope has been coordinated with other external funding agencies.

Support will be provided in budget and fiscal management, public service management and revenue collection and enforcement.  

Majuro Power Network Strengthening Project. 2. 	The Project will support the Republic of the Marshall Islands' (RMI) renewable energy targets and greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets through investments in the Majuro distribution network. The project will install an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in the Majuro power distribution network to enable Marshalls Energy Company (MEC) to collect data on physical energy flows within its network, reduce system technical and commercial losses, and improve system reliability. The data provided by the AMI will also inform successive investments in Majuro's power system, including siting of additional renewable energy generation assets on the Majuro power system. Consulting advisory services will be provided to support the AMI implementation, and to prepare a comprehensive capacity-building and business-process reengineering (BPR) roadmap for implementation under successive investment projects.  

Ebeye Water Supply and Sanitation Project (Additional Financing). The additional financing will: (i) further strengthen KAJUR's financial and technical capacity to sustainable deliver water supply and sewerage services on Ebeye  and (ii) sustain the improved water supply and sanitation services and enhanced hygiene awareness and behaviors on Ebeye which are critical to eliminate the transmission of COVID-19 and other waterborne and transmissible diseases. The project sustainability will be improved which is in line with the lessons learnt for the Pacific Department in the Independent Evaluation Department's Annual Evaluation Report of 2019. The project's target impacts will remain unchanged and outputs will be strengthened.  

Public Financial Management Project (Second Additional Financing). The overall project’s intended impact will remain the same: more effective governance achieved in the Marshall Islands. The target outcome continues to be improved public financial management, to be achieved by sustaining efforts to strengthen Ministry of Finance’s institutional capacity for (i) prioritizing and implementing the PFM Reform Roadmap, and (ii) designing and implementing SOE reforms.  

Second Generation of Capital Market Reform Program. The impact of the proposed Program will be enhanced economic growth through a more efficient and balanced financial system. The Program's outcome will be increased resource mobilization through the capital market for productive investment and employment generation by providing efficient savings vehicles for retail and institutional investors and diversify funding sources for enterprises. This diversification of funding sources will also make the corporate and financial sector more resilient to shocks. 

The Program will: (i) support the development of institutional investors to facilitate long-term capital formation and increase the demand for securities, (ii) improve the efficiency of securities markets to increase the supply of corporate securities and optimize the allocation of financial resources into productive investment, and (iii) strengthen the governance of capital markets to improve market transparency and protect investors.  

Sindh Coastal Community Development Project (formerly Sindh Coastal and Inland Community Development). The overall Project impact is income and Government service access increases for poor households in Sindh Province. The outcome is improved, ecologically sustainable income and access to public services for poor residents in the eight coastal talukas  (sub-districts) of Thatta and Badin districts.

Naulong Integrated Water Resources Development Project. The project readiness financing (PRF) from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will prepare the Naulong Integrated Water Resources Development Project. The project supports the Government of Pakistans Vision 2025 and ADBs country partnership strategy for Pakistan, 2021 to 2025, which emphasizes the need for water, energy, and food security. It aligns with ADBs Strategy 2030 in addressing poverty and inequalities, gender equality, climate change, and rural development and food security. The project also aligns with Pakistan's Nationally Determined Contribution. Pakistan has committed to mitigating climate vulnerability and reducing its annual greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by 20%. The PRF is included in ADBs indicative country operations business plan for Pakistan, 2021 to 2023. The national government approved the Planning Commission Proforma-I for the proposed PRF and the ensuing project in January 2022.

The PRF will ensure high-quality design, stakeholder engagement, and safeguards and procurement readiness and procurement support of the ensuing project. It will facilitate the timely and cost-effective achievement of the projects outcomes. The PRF builds on the project planning documents, including the feasibility study and associated studies commissioned by the Water and Power Development Authority. The PRF will validate the project design and update social and environmental safeguards documents and other due diligence assessments.

The project is in Jhal Magsi District of the Balochistan province. The provinces population represents 6% of the countrys population and and contributes up to 4.5% percent of the national GDP. Agriculture is central to Balochistans economy and about 72 percent of the population lives in rural areas and depends mainly on agriculture. The agriculture sector accounts for about one third of the provincial gross domestic product, employs two-third of its labor force and provides livelihood to half of its population. About 70 percent of farmers in Balochistan do not have access to regular source of water. Variability in water availability in Balochistan is far higher than the national average, and per capita water storage is only 20 percent of the national average that itself is already grossly inadequate in comparison to other countries in the region. Extended droughts and destructive flash floods are common, and are likely to worsen with future climate change projections. The people most vulnerable to water scarcity in Balochistan are the rural poor, especially women and children.  

Drought Disaster Response Project. I.	CRISIS OVERVIEW 

1.	Approximately 5,000 people in northern areas of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Marshall Islands) are experiencing severe drought conditions. Affected areas include Wotho, Ujae, Lae, Aur, Maloelap, Wotje, Ailuk, and Utrik atolls, and Mejit Island.   An estimated 11,000 people, including populations residing on Ebeye Island, are experiencing less severe drought conditions. 

2.	The Government of Marshall Islands (the government) declared a state of emergency on April 19 2013 in response to persistent severe drought conditions. On 7 May 2013, the situation was elevated to a ?State of Disaster?. The National Disaster Committee under the Office of the Chief Secretary is coordinating and monitoring measures being undertaken by government agencies and development partners. 

3.	The situation continues to worsen. In the worst affected areas, rainwater supplies have been exhausted completely, and groundwater from wells has become unsafe to drink because of high salinity levels and bacteriological contamination. Water scarcity has also contributed to outbreaks of water-borne disease such as diarrhea, particularly among children. 

4.	While reverse osmosis (RO) desalination units have been provided to affected atolls, production capacity is insufficient to meet total household drinking water needs on larger atolls with populations of 500-600 hundred people. RO units in these areas are supplying only around 3.8 liters of water per day for families of up to 6 people, which is significantly below the minimum daily level of 7.5 liters per person recommended by the World Health Organization. On other atolls, the entire population is reliant on freshwater produced from a single RO unit. Some islands have reported that units are not fully operational. In the event that a RO units stops working because of a lack of spare parts or fuel, the atoll population would be left without any potable water.

5.	The drought is also contributing to food shortages. Subsistence crops such as breadfruit, taro, and bananas are the main sources of food in the country?s northern atolls. Breadfruit is harvested twice a year, with the main harvest starting in mid-May, and a much smaller harvest occurring in December. In the worst affected atolls, crops have been completely destroyed due to prolonged dry conditions.  

Ebeye Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The project will address factors which result in the high incidence of waterborne disease on Ebeye, an island within Kwajalein Atoll.  

Public Financial Management Project-Additional Financing. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is supporting the Government of the Marshall Islands through a project grant to strengthen public financial management (PFM).  The additional financing will scale up and extend the benefits of the ongoing project by further helping the Ministry of Finance (MOF) to prioritize and implement reforms to strengthen PFM in line with the scope of the ongoing project. The outputs of the proposed additional financing will remain the same as the ongoing project: (i) the MOF's institutional capacity to implement the PFM Reform Roadmap strengthened, and (ii) the MOF's institutional capacity to implement SOE reforms strengthened.  

COVID-19: Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Progam. The HEALS program will support the government’s response to the potentially
catastrophic health and economic impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), anchored by its $45.8 million COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan.2 The government is implementing a comprehensive response package that covers (i) strengthening the health system’s capacity for enhanced surveillance, infection control, and potential case management  (ii) providing economic relief and recovery assistance to businesses adversely affected by the prevailing travel restrictions  and (iii) mitigating impacts on the RMI’s most vulnerable communities, all within the context of a sound and sustainable fiscal framework. The RMI meets all the access criteria for the CPRO.  

Second Drought Disaster Response Project. The proposed grant of $200,000 for financing under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund is part of ADB'?s response to the ongoing severe drought experienced by the 6,384 people on 15 islands and atolls in northern parts of the Republic of Marshall Islands.  

Public Financial Management Project. The project will enhance the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) to effectively implement PFM and state-owned enterprise (SOE) reforms.  

Public Sector Program - Subprogram 2. The program, supported by a policy-based loan, is to improve the long-term fiscal sustainability of the RMI government. In 2010, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved (i) a program cluster for the public sector program, and (ii) financing from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) of $9.5 million (special drawing rights of 6,413,000) for subprogram 1 of the public sector program.  The public sector program supports the implementation of the government's reform initiatives and initiates the adjustments required to achieve long-term fiscal sustainability. Under subprogram 1, policy actions were designed and the implementation of immediate reform priorities began. Subprogram 2 will complete the implementation of the policy actions.  

COVID-19: Ebeye Solid Waste Management Project. The project will establish a sustainable and effective solid waste management (SWM) system in Ebeye, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), by (i) building a high-temperature incinerator and upgrading the dump site, (ii) upgrading and replacing equipment for municipal solid waste management, (iii) strengthening institutional capacity to sustain the SWM services, The project will also prevent the spreading of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and other transmittable and waterborne diseases through improved medical waste disposal and strengthened medical waste management capacity. A project readiness financing grant was approved in 2019 to prepare the project and facilitate a smooth transition to the project implementation.  

Third Drought Disaster Response Project. The  grant of $200,000 for financing under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) is ADB?s response to the ongoing severe drought experienced by the entire population of the Republic of Marshall Islands.  

Preparing Urban Service Improvement Projects. The project readiness financing (PRF) will prepare for two ensuing projects (the proposed Ebeye SWM and Majuro WSS projects), facilitate the preparation of the projects, and facilitate a smooth transition to project implementation. The PRF will also support the development of a strategic and integrated SWM investment plan for Majuro.  

Climate-Friendly Agribusiness Value Chains Sector Project. The proposed project supports fulfilling the government's Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS), 2018-2023 and the National Export Strategy, 2015-2019 by boosting competitiveness in value chains for rice, beans, pulses, and oilseeds in the Magway, Mandalay, and Sagaing regions in the central dry zone (CDZ). The project will increase climate resilience for critical rural infrastructure, promote quality and safety testing capacity, strengthen technical and institutional capacity for climate-smart agriculture (CSA), and create an enabling policy environment for climate-friendly agribusinesses. The project will reduce food insecurity and rural poverty, increase smallholders' incomes and access to markets, and improve resource efficiency and environmental sustainability for agribusinesses.  

Tropical Cyclone Lola Emergency Response Project. The project consists of activities relating to the provision of life preserving services for communities affected by the following natural disaster: Tropical Cyclone Lola.

The Grant proceeds will be used for activities including but not limited to: (i) provision of medical kits, food, and bottled drinking water  (ii) purchase of water purification and sanitation systems  (iii) provision of transitional shelter  (iv) provision of personal hygiene kits  and (v) covering the additional costs of critical health and related services.  

Tropical Cyclone Harold Emergency Response Project. The category 5 Tropical Cyclone (TC) Harold made landfall on 6 April 2020 in Sanma Province on the island of Espiritu Santo, delivering sustained winds of 200km/h gusting to 235km/h. Due to its path across the centre of Vanuatu, TC Harold directly impacted a large number of populated islands, including Ambrym, Malekula, Paama, Ambae Pentecost, Maewo, Malo, and the country's second largest city, Luganville, with a population of 16,000. Preliminary assessments indicated substantial structural damage (up to 70% of houses and structures in Luganville) - evacuation centers are reportedly full. Widespread crop damage has also raised food security concerns as the northern provinces produce about 80% of all major agricultural exports. 
The first aerial surveillance assessments of 7 April by Vanuatu's National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) assessed the total number of affected people at 159,474 (nearly 50% of the total population). The provinces of Sanma (53,344 people), Penama (32,055 people), and Malampa (40,917 people) have been assigned priority for assistance, while the needs in the provinces of Torba (10,012 people) and Sheperds Group (23,056 people) have been assigned second priority.
On 11 April 2020, he government declared a 30-day state of emergency. Notably, access to affected areas for the delivery of humanitarian relief may be inhibited by existing access controls intended to protect the population against COVID-19 transmission. Early situation reports from NDMO and United Nations indicate that immedicate efforts must focus on provision of potable water, shelter, logistics support to address  food security risks, and the restoration of communications and power infrastructure.  

Cyclone Pam Road Reconstruction Project. The Cyclone Pam Road Reconstruction Project will support the efforts of the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu to reconstruct, and climate and disaster proof, the transport sector infrastructure on Efate ring road damaged by the Cyclone Pam floods and storm surges during 12-14 March 2015.  

Tropical Cyclone Judy and Tropical Cyclone Kevin Emergency Response Project. This Project is in response to the two tropical cyclones and two earthquakes in Vanuatu. The paths of the two cyclones crossed through the center of Vanuatu and directly impacting populated islands and causing severe damage to infrastructure, buildings, connectivity, and crops. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that approximately 251,000 people (approximately 80% of Vanuatu's population) have been exposed to the impacts of the cyclones, with 5,156 people registered in 106 evacuation centers in Shefa and Tafea. The United Nations Resident Coordinator for Vanuatu confirmed Vanuatu's Ministry of Finance and Economic Management estimates that the impact of the disaster is at 40% of the gross domestic product with recovery costs estimated at $50 million, noting that the damage assessment is ongoing.  

Port Vila Urban Development Project. The proposed Port Vila Urban Development Project (PUDP) will improve drainage, roads and sanitation systems in greater Port Vila (municipality and adjacent urban and peri-urban areas in the Shefa province). The Project will implement the recommendations of the drainage and sanitation master plan prepared through a project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA)  which identified priority interventions for improved access to, and delivery of drainage and sanitation services to the residents of Port Vila.  It will support affordable, sustainable, and effective sanitation, roads and storm water drainage services, and contribute to climate resilient and sustainable urban development in and around Port Vila.

The project will address the following key issues:  
(i)	Link between sanitation and drainage and road development. It is critical to coordinate and integrate the design and implementation of the drainage and sanitation project within the long-term priorities for urban infrastructure development in and around Port Vila, particularly with the development plans for the road sector. 
(ii)	Poor coordination in the delivery of services and weak capacity of institutions. The responsibilities of relevant agencies involved in urban development are not clearly delineated. Coordination among these agencies is poor, and concerned agencies have limited capacity in urban planning and lack human resources. A dearth of skills, resources, and performance incentives makes it difficult to provide high-quality public services.    
(iii)	Role of hygiene as an integral part of improved sanitation. As the sanitation master plan emphasizes the role of hygiene in the improvement of public health, complementary sanitation and hygiene promotion will be implemented alongside investment in infrastructure and facilities. This includes adequate drainage within communities, as a part of hygiene and public health and training and awareness programs.
(iv)	Gender mainstreaming and universal access to basic services.  Approaches and methodology will be developed for hygiene and health education and awareness activities, to ensure active involvement of the youth and women in the peri-urban, informal and rural settlements. Existing and newly created women groups will be made part of the management and maintenance of the community hygiene facilities. The pros and cons of adopting local employment generation as part of the project strategy during the design and preparation of the investment project will also be identified.
(v)	Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and sustainability of drainage and sanitation services. The sustainability of drainage, roads and sanitation services is heavily dependent upon appropriate institutional arrangements for O&M, including debt servicing and cost recovery. The project envisaged that cost recovery will be achieved by increasing property taxes or other direct charges such as user fees or levies. It is anticipated that the O&M services will be outsourced to private service providers, supervised by the Government.  
(vi)	Mitigating adverse environmental impacts and adapting to climate change. These can be achieved by emphasizing in the project design appropriate investment in climate proofing to ensure a sustainable and climate resilient urban development in Port Vila.  

Cyclone Pam Road Reconstruction Project Additional Financing. The Cyclone Pam Road Reconstruction Project will support the efforts of the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu to reconstruct, and climate and disaster proof, the transport sector infrastructure on Efate ring road damaged by TCP floods and storm surges.  

COVID-19: Response for Affected Poor and Vulnerable Groups Project. The project aims to meet the immediate needs of vulnerable groups affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, while building their resilience to withstand further pandemic impacts and other external shocks in the future. The project has two components: (i) food security and income-generating support delivered to poor and vulnerable women, and (ii) multidisciplinary responses to gender-based violence (GBV) implemented.  

Vanuatu Cyclone Pam Disaster Response Project. Tropical Cyclone (TC) Pam struck Vanuatu as an extremely destructive category 5 cyclone on the evening of 13 March around 11 p.m. local time. The cyclone?s eye passed close to Efate Island in Shefa Province, where Vanuatu?s capital, Port Vila, is located. Winds were estimated to have reached 250 kph with gusts peaking at around 320 kph. The entire country has been affected, and Port Vila suffered widespread damage from extremely strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding. The southernmost islands of Tafea Province, the northern islands of Sanma, Penama and Torba Provinces are reported to have been heavily impacted by the cyclone. The communication in most of the affected areas is reported to be cut and some roads are impassable. Preliminary estimates show that more than 90% of the structures in Port Vila are damaged or destroyed. The international airport at Port Vila was closed and resumed flights only on 17 March. Most domestic airports are still closed. Radio and communication to outer islands is yet to be established.  

Second Manaro Volcano Disaster Response Project. ADB will provide support from the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Project will complement the government resources and other donor assistance in providing life-preserving services to the displaced people of Ambae.  

Interisland Shipping Support Project. The aim of project is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of interisland shipping services through provision of an integrated package of assistance.  It comprises two major components: 

(a) infrastructure investments in the capital of Port Vila and five outer islands,  and 

(b) establishment of a shipping support scheme to catalyze the provision of services to remote noncommercial destinations using an output-based aid approach. 

The Project is complemented by associated TA to improve sector governance through institutional strengthening and legal and regulatory reforms, and by project management services.  

Energy Access Project. The project will increase energy access and renewable energy generation in the two islands of Espiritu Santo and Malekula, being second and third largest population centers after Efate. The project will assist Vanuatu install hydropower generation to replace diesel generation in Malekula and will extend the distribution grid in both Malekula and Espiritu Santo. Project preparatory technical assistance was used in project preparation.  

Vanuatu Manaro Volcano Disaster Response Project. Vanuatu Manaro Volcano Disaster Response Project - Health/Disease control of non-communicable diseases and other priority programs  

Interisland Shipping Support Project (Additional Financing). The project will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of interisland shipping services. This involves (i) the construction and repair of wharves and jetties, with associated facilities, in the national capital of Port Vila and five outer islands  and (ii) the establishment of a shipping support scheme (SSS) to catalyze the provision of services to remote noncommercial destinations using an output-based aid approach.  

COVID-19: Fiscal Response Program. Vanuatu has avoided an outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) through decisive early action to close borders and adopt prevention and containment measures. As of 12 November 2020, the country had only one confirmed case of COVID-19 contained in quarantine after being identified from a repatriation flight. Vanuatu's efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have come at significant economic and social costs. The program will help finance the implementation of the government’s countercyclical response, which is anchored on the Health Preparedness and Response Plan (HPRP) and the Economic Stimulus Program (ESP), to mitigate the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19. The proposed program is aligned with four operational priorities of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Strategy 2030—(i) addressing remaining poverty and addressing inequalities, (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality, (iii) strengthening governance and institutional capacity, and (iv) promoting rural development and food security. It is also aligned with the Pacific Approach priority of managing risks and building resilience by strengthening the health and agriculture sectors. Vanuatu meets all the CPRO access criteria.  

COVID-19: Systems Strengthening for Effective Coverage of New Vaccines in the Pacific Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (Additional Financing). The original project adopts a regional approach to improving immunization outcomes by introducing three vaccines in Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. It supports the countries in (i) pooling the procurement of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), and the rotavirus vaccine through the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)  (ii) strengthening primary health care and the capacity to deliver vaccination programs  and (iii) increasing community awareness and the population's knowledge of and attitude toward vaccines.  The project will reduce the burden and minimize outbreaks related to vaccine-preventable diseases, integrate immunization programs into broader health systems, and improve access to primary health  services.  As a response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the governments of Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu have been preparing for the imminent arrival of COVID-19 vaccines, and have requested additional financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to further strengthen immunization programs and prepare for the vaccine rollout.  The additional financing will build on the original project to support the four governments in meeting their urgent needs.  

Sindh Growth and Rural Revitalization Program - Subprogram 2. The program will support accelerated and sustainable economic growth in the province of Sindh in Pakistan (Sindh). This will be achieved by reforming public expenditure management and improving the business environment for the private sector to participate in infrastructure investments and service delivery. The program will stimulate economic activity, which will create employment opportunities. Gender mainstreaming at policy and project design levels will ensure that benefits accrue to both men and women in Sindh. The program will thus help reduce poverty, starting with rural Sindh  

Social Protection Development Project. The project will support the Government of Pakistan's national social safety net program, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). The project will enable the expansion of the cash transfer program (paid to the female head of targeted poor families) by registering an additional 2.4 million eligible families and financing the first few quarters of their cash transfers. In addition, it will support the strengthening and phased expansion of the pilot health insurance and skills development programs to increase income and good health for targeted families. The project will provide technical support and finance part of the scaling-up costs of both programs using a performance-based allocation. The substantial fiduciary risk of the project will be mitigated through the strengthening of BISP financial management systems and capacity.  

Pakistan: 2022 Flood Emergency Response. The Project is in response to 2022 Flood in Pakistan that has affected over 33 million population across the country. The heavy rains across Pakistan that started in late June and are continuing which have caused flash floods, landslides, and glacial lake outburst across Pakistan. The country received over 60% of the total normal monsoon rainfall in just 3 weeks of July. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) reported in the donors' conference on 25 August 2022 that as compared to the last 30 years' average of monsoon rainfall, Balochistan and Sindh have already received 404.23% and 476% more monsoon rainfall this year.

As of 27 August 2022, around 33 million people have been affected from floods. At least 1,033 people, including 348 children and 207 women, have died, while 1,527 people have been injured. A total of 498,442 people are currently in relief camps. According to the NDMA, 949,858 houses have been damaged, out of which 287,412 have been destroyed. A total of 3,451 kilometers (km) of roads, mostly in Sindh (2,328 km), and Balochistan (1,000 km), have been damaged, in addition to 149 bridges. A total of 719,558 livestock, a critical source of sustenance and livelihoods for many families, have perished. According to the UN Situation Report number 3, around 2 million acres of crops and orchards have also been impacted, including at least 304,000 acres in Balochistan, 178,000 acres in Punjab and some 1,540,000 acres in Sindh. Data from provincial education departments show that at least 17,566 schools were damaged or destroyed during the floods, including 15,842 schools in Sindh, 544 in Balochistan and 1,180 in Punjab.

The APDRF Grant assistance will be used to meet the the key needs of the flood affected people as identified by the government, which include (i) tents and bedding, (ii) mosquito nets, (iii) emergency medical supplies, (iv) WASH supplies, (v) food supplies, and (vi) relief and rescue equipment, where required. However, needs and demands may change as the situation evolves in the coming weeks.

Senior loan of US$100 million to Ratnakar Bank (RBL or the Bank) to support its transformation from a regional to pan-Indian bank and scale up its core businesses focused on financial inclusion through supporting MFIs and MSMEs, primarily engaged in agribusiness. Despite India's impressive progress in poverty reduction over the past decades, poverty incidence fell from 66% (1977) to 33% (2009) there remain 400 million poor of which more than live in rural India. It is estimated that 60% of population in rural areas is unbanked which provides a significant scope for mobilizing deposits and offering other banking services, which in turn could be used for offering credit facilities to good customers increasing access to finance in rural areas. In addition, improving agricultural productivity is essential as half the Indian population draws their income from rural activity. More importantly population growth, increasing urbanization, water scarcity and pressure on agricultural resources generate large demand for private investment in the farming and agribusiness value chains. The growing demand for food India's urban population is 400 million (2012) and growing by 10 million every year and an increasing middle income population - provide compelling market opportunities for agriculture that requires massive capital resources by the private sector. This trend provides an opportunity for realizing productivity improvements throughout the agriculture value chains.  

Himachal Pradesh Skills Development Project. Himachal Pradesh, located in northern India along the lower Himalayas, has a population of 6.8 million. Despite constraints such as its hilly terrain, poor connectivity, and predominantly rural population (90%), the state's economic, poverty, education, and health indicators have improved significantly since 2000 owing to the efforts of the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GOHP) to improve infrastructure and delivery of basic public services. While the government has successfully increased school and college enrollments over the past decade, it now faces the "second-generation" challenge of providing relevant and good quality technical and vocational education and training (TVET) opportunities to its youth to prepare them for the changing needs of the labor market.

Karnataka Integrated Urban Water Management Investment Program-Tranche 2. Tranche 2 will enhance urban water supply and sanitation infrastructure  and improve water resource planning, monitoring and service delivery in four coastal towns (Kundapura, Mangalore, Puttur, and Udupi). The rapid pace of economic development and urbanization of the coastal region of Karnataka has put considerable stress on the existing urban water supply and sanitation  infrastructure. The groundwater table is shallow and contaminated by saltwater intrusion. The coastal towns should promote the efficient and sustainable use of water by reducing nonrevenue water, expanding water treatment capacity, improving storage facilities, and extending more connections to end-users. The sewerage system of Mangalore requires immediate rehabilitation and upgrading to enhance the capacity of the pumping main and expand coverage. To offer improved water services, urban local bodies (ULBs) must enhance their technical and financial capacity. Climate adaptation measures are required to protect this ecologically sensitive region from climate change impacts.  

Sustainable Coastal Protection and Management Investment Program - Tranche 1.

National Grid Improvement Project. To optimize transnational power supply and promote country-wide power transfer in an efficient manner, the Government aims to integrate regional power grid network systems, which comprise five interconnected electrical regions including northern, north-eastern, eastern, western, and southern. Each electrical region attempts to connect and synchronize power system of neighboring states within the region, but interregional power transfer capacity has still been limited. Since natural energy resources are unevenly distributed and concentrated in certain locations, surplus power from some regions can be transferred to other regions in power deficit only when creating "transmission super highways" among the regions. While the existing interregional transmission capacity stands at 22,400 MW, the Government targets to increase this capacity to 27,950 MW by 2012, growing to 57,000 MW by 2015, and 75,000 MW by 2017 under the 12th Five Year Plan. Such interregional transmission strengthening will create a backbone to sustain open power supply and investment in both generation and distribution.

The Project experienced substantial cost overruns mainly due to underestimation of cost of noncore subprojects, price escalation of construction materials and the financing gap caused by the local currency appreciation. 

The supplementary loan of $100 million was approved on 30 June 2009 to ensure completion of the Project by addressing: (i) constraints impeding the project implementation and undertaking remedial measures to resolve them  and (ii) the issue of cost overrun in civil works.  

Uttar Pradesh Major District Roads Improvement Project. The project will improve about 430 kilometers (km) of major district roads (MDRs) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, in line with the Strategic Core Road Network Master Plan for Uttar Pradesh. It will involve upgrading of MDRs depending on traffic requirements  reconstruction, widening and strengthening of culverts and bridges  and maintenance of the improved road assets for 5 years after construction.  The project will also conduct a road safety audit of the MDRs on the core road network (CRN) and initiate remedial measures at identified critical locations.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Rural Roads Sector II Investment Program - Project 2. As one of the key features of the Government’s poverty reduction agenda  for  the  rural  sector,  the  Government  is  implementing  a  nation-wide rural road investment program, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak  Yojana  (PMGSY).  PMGSY  aims  to  provide  all-weather road connectivity to currently unserved habitations in India’s rural areas, where 70% of the population live. PMGSY is in its fifth year of implementation and has successfully improved, through participating states, 66,000 kilometers (km) of rural roads with an additional 47,000 km nearing completion, connecting 34,000 habitations (20% of eligible habitations under PMGSY) nationwide to a greater transportation network.  PMGSY  also  includes  noninvestment  interventions  to  strengthen  the  capacity  of  state  level  agencies for  the  implementation  of  the  program in the area of project planning and design, management oversight for construction activities, safeguards, procurement and fiduciary arrangements.
 
The  latest  estimate  for  the  overall  PMGSY  financing  requirement  is  about  $30  billion.  Currently  available  financing  sources  include  a  portion  of  the  excise  tax  (cess)  on  high-speed  diesel  oil  ($0.9  billion annually), ADB ($0.4 billion committed under the first loan), and  the  World  Bank  ($0.4  billion  under  its  first  loan-credit).  The  financing gap is huge. While exploring the possibilities of domestic borrowing, the Government approached ADB and World Bank for additional financial assistance.  

ADB has been requested to provide assistance to the Investment Program through a multitranche financing facility (MFF). The MFF is most appropriate in this instance. The Government has a well-defined program with clear program goals, well-structured standard operating procedures based on an annual program implementation  cycle,  and  the  long-term  need  for  co-financing.  Involvement of multiple state level agencies with different levels of absorption  capacity  will  require  flexible  financing arrangements that  allow  fund  allocation  on  the  basis  of  progress  achieved  and  readiness for new investment in each participating state. The MFF caters well to these two sets of needs: one for predictable financing sources, and the other for flexible financing arrangements. 

The  Investment  Program  is  expected  to  construct  or  upgrade  about 30,000 km of rural roads connecting about 19,000 habitations.  For  the  investments  in  physical  infrastructure  to  be  effective,  the  Investment  Program  will  also  focus  on  capacity  building, especially in relation to planning, design, operation, safeguard, financial, road safety, and maintenance matters. 
 
The  financing  plan  for  the  Investment  Program  currently  includes ADB and the cess proceeds allocated to the Investment Program states.  

Infrastructure Development Investment Program for Tourism - Tranche 3. ADB and the Government of India are working together promote tourism in rural areas in order to benefit the poor. The Infrastructure Development Investment Program for Tourism is making rural tourist destinations more visitor friendly with improved water facilities, upgraded restrooms and sanitation systems, new signs and street lights, and more efficient garbage disposal methods. The program is helping state governments build the basic infrastructure for tourism while encouraging private companies to provide services and facilities. Work is also being done to help manage India's many heritage sites and to encourage greater local community participation tourist activities. This includes an emphasis on bring tourism-related facilities to remote communities. The program is primarily focused on the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand (the three main states of the North West Himalayan Heritage Circuit) and Tamil Nadu (the anchor state of the South Heritage Circuit). As a result of the program, the Government of India hopes to see a 50% increase in tourism-related employment in the participating states, as well as a 30% increase in the contribution of tourism to the states' gross domestic product.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Transport, Trade Facilitation and Logistics Project. The project will promote regional connectivity in the Phuentsholing area with a direct road connection between Samtse and Chhukha districts. The new road section between Phuentsholing and Chamkuna will (i) complete the last missing 3.3-kilometer (km) link along the Phuentsholing-Samtse national highway, (ii) activate the full value of the entire 58 km Southern East-West Highway (SEWH) section for road users, and (iii) link Samtse district to the rest of the country. The trade facilitation and logistics component is aimed at improving the infrastructure and services at the border crossing points by adding additional equipment to facilitate cross-border traffic and transit of goods and services, trade, and commerce nationwide.  These interventions are targeted at improving the working conditions and service delivery at the checkpoints so that goods and services can be exported and imported safely and efficiently.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Road Connectivity Project. ADB and the Government of Bhutan are working together to bring safer roads and more opportunities to the southern part of the country. The South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Road Connectivity Project will build 68.3 km of the vital Southern East West Highway between the towns of Dewathang and Nganglam, which is one of the main crossing points between Bhutan and India. The new stretch of road will improve the connection between Bhutan's main north-south highways and India's national highway network. As a result, travel time between Nganglam and Dewathang is being reduced by 80% from 12 hours to just a few hours. The project is also building a 1.2 km access road between Bhutan's border with India and the Pasakha industrial estate, reducing travel time by 90 percent from nearly two hours to about 10 minutes. Border crossing stations in Phuentsholing City the town of Alay will also be improved, and a 2.7 km access road to the national highway will be built. The new roads and facilities will help develop the capacity of the country's engineers and government officials to build modern transport infrastructure.

Payment System Modernization Project. The current payments system is composed of an interbank payment infrastructure and a retail payment infrastructure. The former covers the real time gross settlement system (RTGS) for high-value transactions and the low-value payments system (LVPS) for low value transactions. It also covers the auctioning and trading of foreign exchange and securities, although the present system does not cover collateral management nor the pledging of securities/bonds. This includes a General Ledger system that is now outdated and needs to be integrated with participating banks statutory accounts with BOM. The retail payment infrastructure is based on the Electronic Transfer System (ETS) system acquired by BOM and covers electronic fund transport at point of sale / automatic teller machine (EFTPOS/ATM) switching but it can also support card and merchant management and EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) and hybrid cards. To be able to accommodate these however, the ETS needs to be upgraded.

The current system was built with support from the World Bank under its Financial Capacity Development Project completed in 2009 and considered one of its successful interventions under the project. However, it was recognized even at the close of the project that the payments system needs to undergo further development as market requirements evolve and due to technical limitations of the system as well as to address policy issues that emerge. The issues that need to be addressed include: 

(i)	ability of the current software to accept future expansion of services and reliance of the current system on the current application provider for upgrade and maintenance  
(ii)	design of an open, flexible, modular architecture that can accommodate the introduction of new electronic payment services, as well as money and capital market instruments that suit evolving market needs and provide transparency, reduction of cash circulation in a modern broadband connected environment  
(iii)	development of an Eco System which ensures interoperability and competitiveness between service providers that may be implemented by competing institutions to avoid fragmented services and avail of scale economies  
(iv)	develop local standards and authentication procedures that more appropriately meet local requirements aligned with prescribed international standards  
(v)	set-up business continuity and disaster management plan to address system vulnerabilities such as network and system failure (computer crashes) and computer hacking, among others  and not the least  and
(vi)	establish an appropriate legal/regulatory framework that provides for the use of digital signatures, conduct of electronic payments, etc. and required authorities for oversight and supervision, market discipline and transparent rules. 

A Payments Law is currently under consideration. More importantly, the current system's processing cost has been calculated to reach about 20 times that of the Republic of Korea's on a per transaction basis and has been increasing at the rate of 10% per year.  

Aimags and Soums Green Regional Development Investment Program - Tranche 1. The program represents a fundamental paradigm shift in applying a transformative model to promote green territorial development and urban-rural linkages, whereby livable human settlements - aimag (province) and soum (subunit of an aimag) centers - become anchors of green agribusinesses that promote sustainable, resilient, and high-carbon sequestration rangeland management. Initially focusing on Mongolia's western aimags, the program will promote climate finance and private sector investment mechanisms that can be replicated countrywide.  The objective of the Investment Program is expected to achieve economic, social development, and environmental sustainability.

The project will deliver sustainable and comprehensive solutions to transform the substandard, climate-vulnerable, and heavily polluting ger areas of Ulaanbaatar city into affordable, low carbon, climate-resilient, and livable eco-districts. It will leverage private sector investment to (i) deliver 10,000 affordable green housing units  and (ii) redevelop 100 hectares of ger areas into eco-districts. 

The project is aligned with the following impacts: living conditions in Mongolia improved  and Ulaanbaatar is a safe, healthy, and green city that is resilient to climate change, and provides a livable environment for its residents. The project will have the following outcome: access to low-carbon and climate-resilient eco-districts and green affordable housing in Ulaanbaatar ger areas increased. The project is consistent with ADB's country partnership strategy for Mongolia, 2017-2020, and with the core themes of green, competitive, and inclusive cities of ADB's Urban Operational Plan.

The project will have three outputs: (i) resilient urban infrastructure, public facilities, and social housing units in ger areas constructed (public sector component)   (ii) long-term financing to developers for low-carbon affordable housing, market rate housing, and economic facilities in ger areas and to households for green mortgages increased (financial intermediation loan [FIL] component)  and (iii) sector policy reforms implemented and capacity strengthened. Output 1 will deliver (i) green social housing units with climate adaptation and mitigation features  and (ii) resilient infrastructure, public space, and public facilities. Under output 2, up to $75.7 million of the GCF loan will be made available under the proposed FIL to enable an eco-district and affordable housing fund (EDAF) to provide long-term debt financing (denominated in local currency) to eligible commercial banks to support real estate developers' participation in the low-carbon housing market, and produce affordable green mortgages. Output 3 will support (i) project implementation  (ii) eco-district feasibility and development, policy improvement on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and improved supply and access to affordable green housing units  (iii) detailed design and supervision  and (iv) sustainable green housing finance.

Eco-district parameters. The project eco-districts will be low-carbon, climate-resilient, mixed-income, and mixed-use areas with approximately 30% public space. The project's five phases will deliver about 20 eco-districts or subprojects, with each covering an average of 5 ha. Phase 1 include two core subprojects (10 ha) in Bayankhoshuu and Selbe subcenters, phases 2-3 will have 8 subprojects (40 ha), and phases 4-5 will have 10 subprojects (50 ha). Each subproject should be completed within 5 years.  Phases 2-5 will identify and prepare a batch of subprojects to be appraised based on eligibility and selection criteria, including financial and physical parameters, formulated from the feasibility study of the two core subprojects.  A detailed infrastructure and architectural design produced for each subproject will ensure (i) adequate ratio for social (15%), affordable (55%), and market rate (30%) housing units  (ii) balance between public space and amenities, commercial areas, and residential units  and (iii) financial viability and rentability to allow private sector participation. The redevelopment process and housing construction will be undertaken onsite, and will be demand-driven.

Sector lending with financial intermediation loan component modality. The sector lending modality was deemed the most appropriate modality to achieve the project objectives because (i) a large number of subprojects in the sector are to be financed  (ii) the government and MUB have sector development plans (SDPs) to ensure the priority development needs of the cross sectoral policy improvement plan are met, and to guide project implementation  (iii) sector and institutional capacity analyses  have shown that the government and MUB have adequate institutional capacity to implement the SDPs and the project  and (iv) policies applicable to the sector are deemed appropriate and will be improved, if warranted. The project will support the government and MUB in translating their SDPs into implementable investments, and coordinated policies, actions, and institutional improvement.   

Financial and institutional arrangements will facilitate the application of a blended finance strategy using the FIL modality. The FIL modality will leverage private resources through the EDAF to be established and managed by the Asset Management Company of DBM (AMC-DBM) on behalf of the Ministry of Finance.  The EDAF will be established as a private investment fund structured as a revolving fund, and will be used to onlend a portion of the GCF loan to participating commercial banks. Based on eligibility and selection criteria, commercial banks will use the GCF loan proceeds to support housing supply and demand: (i) for supply, the EDAF will provide medium-term loans to selected private developers, which will be combined with the developers' equities and additional loans by DBM and participating commercial banks to implement output 2  and (ii) for demand, the loan proceeds will be converted into low-cost long-term mortgages to home buyers for purchases of the affordable housing and market rate housing units.  

Supporting the Credit Guarantee System for Economic Diversification and Employment Project. The project aims to improve the access of Mongolia’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to finance to sustain their businesses and thereby foster growth, diversify the economy, lessen its dependence on the mining sector, and create jobs. The TA will improve the quality of the Credit Guarantee Fund of Mongolia (CGFM) and the country’s credit guarantee system. The government has asked the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support commercial banks’ lending to SMEs by backing CGFM credit guarantees. The project will expand the financing for SMEs in sectors not related to mining.

It will also entail the construction of a 110/10kV substation, a 14-km long 110kV double circuit overhead electricity transmission line, as well as the extension of the 110/10kV Khushig substation owned by the National Power Transmission Grid SOJSC.  

Financial Regulation and Governance Program. The purpose of the Program is to support the development of a sound and broad-based financial sector that effectively channels resources to productive investment. Specifically, the Program will seek to: (i) reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by improving the framework for secured transactions, (ii) protect depositors from poor governance practices in banks, (iii) enhance the role of the non-bank financial (NBF) sector in savings mobilization for investment capital, and (iv) improve investor confidence by reducing the risks from potential money laundering through the financial system.

The Program has three main components: (i) banking sector  (ii) NBF sector  and (iii) Anti-money laundering (AML) regime. The banking sector component will aim to reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by facilitating debt enforcement and lowering the cost of collateral registration. This component will also introduce legal and regulatory changes to strengthen corporate governance in banks and to improve the supervision of groups and conglomerates that control financial institutions. The NBF sector component will seek to enhance the sector's role in resource mobilization and allocation by developing the legal and regulatory framework, strenghening regulatory capacity through the establishment of a single regulator for NBF sector, the Nonbank Financial Regulatory Commission (NBFRC), and strengthening corporate governance and transparency. This component will also aim to reduce the distortionary impact of tax policies on the financial sector. The AML component will seek to mitigate the potential risks from money laundering activities by supporting the development of the legal and regulatory framework for the AML regime, and the establishment of a financial intelligence unit to monitor and report suspicious financial transactions.  

Agriculture and Rural Development Project. The Project will develop value chains to deliver unique premium value products to niche markets. The Project will deliver these outputs through three components: (i) value-chain development under which it will establish a deposit account to guarantee 50% of the total amount of loans made by private commercial banks to agribusiness enterprises for value-chain development investment plans (selected by the bank from among a group of prequalified plans with high public goods elements), (ii) a local grant and infrastructure development facility to develop rural infrastructure and services, and (iii) project management. In a break with traditional approaches, the Project will provide private enterprises with resources to undertake value-chain investments that have typically been undertaken by public agencies.

The government has requested ADB s consideration of a second additional financing loan to the current project to scale up and extend its socio-economic benefits through improving the quality and reliability of wastewater management services in five additional prominent and fast growing aimag centers in other regions of the country. The additional financing will also continue to strengthen system sustainability through the provision of technical assistance to enhance wastewater management capabilities of the aimag public utility service organizations in the additional project aimag centers.  

Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Livestock Development Project. The Government of Mongolia, during the country programming mission held in Ulaanbaatar in April 2018, requested the Asian Development Bank to provide lending support to prepare the Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Livestock Development Project. The project is included in ADB's country operations business plan for Mongolia for 20192021.  

Additional Financing of Food and Nutrition Social Welfare Project. The original program ($9 million ADF) included the design and implementation of a food stamp program as part of the social welfare system. The original project ($3 million ADF) improved targeting and prepared strategies to reform social welfare.  The additional financing will scale up the original project by pursuing the reforms initiated to date in social welfare. Social welfare benefits will be further consolidated to reduce the complexity of the system and increase its effectiveness. The use of proxy means testing to identify poor households will be expanded to apply to other social welfare benefits.  The additional financing will also support an expansion in the scope of the original project by improving social insurance services. The additional financing meets the three criteria for priority consideration set out in OM H5/BP para.11: (i) the project is performing well  (ii) there is a high degree of project readiness to implement the additional financing  and (iii) developing social welfare and insurance services that are effective, efficient, transparent, and user-centered is highly innovative in the context of Mongolia and could have a demonstration effect for other sectors.  

COVID-19: Support for COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery in Mongolia under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The risk of continued community spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Mongolia remains substantial. Since the first case of community transmission was reported on

10 November 2020, several clusters of local transmission have emerged in the capital city and six provinces.

Proposal. The Government of Mongolia officially requested ADB support for securing safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. The proposed project seeks to provide a loan, through the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX) facility, amounting to $40 million to support COVID-19 vaccine delivery in Mongolia.  

Food and Nutrition Social Welfare Program and Project (Capacity Development Project). ADB has secured a $12 million grant to build on the existing social welfare system and assist the Government in (i) designing and implementing emergency measures that specially target mitigating the impact of the food crisis on the poor and (ii) mid-term measures to address social welfare issues. This will include designing social safety nets that provide assistance directly to the poor, building capacity among stakeholders, and providing technical assistance to reform social welfare strategies in the mid-term.  

Ulaanbaatar Air Quality Improvement Program. The Government of Mongolia has requested financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank in the form of a policy-based loan to address Ulaanbaatar's severe air pollution problem which (i) harms citizens' health, disproportionally affecting children and poor people  and (ii) results in significant health and economic costs, which are a long-term burden on the already weak national economy. The proposed program is grounded in the 2017-2025 National Program for Reducing Air and Environmental Pollution.  

Ulaanbaatar Air Quality Improvement Program - Phase 2. The program, which builds on reforms initiated in Ulaanbaatar Air Quality Improvement Program (Phase 1), is embedded in the 2017–2025 National Program for Reducing Air and Environmental Pollution. The government’s ownership of and commitment to implementation of the proposed reforms under Phase 2 was conveyed by the Ministry of Finance (MOF) in the development policy letter (Appendix 3). Phase 2 will support the government in implementing urgent actions to mitigate air pollution during the winter of 2019–2020 and introducing medium- to long-term clean heating solutions. The TA will facilitate the government’s efforts to continue longer-term reforms through an agreed post-program partnership framework (PPPF).  

Fifth Health Sector Development Project. The project will improve patients' and health workers' safety in hospitals in Mongolia. It will (i) improve the safety of blood transfusions, (ii) strengthen medical waste management, and (iii) prevent and control hospital acquired infections.  It complements previous Asian Development Bank (ADB) initiatives in the health sector in Mongolia.  

Gender Inclusive Dairy Value Chain Project. The project will support Milko's investment plan during 2019 to 2020 by financing dairy procurement and processing expansion and permanent working capital investments for smallholder farmer and herder supply of raw milk and berries.  

Urban Development Sector Project. The objectives of the Project is to improve the living conditions and the quality of life of the urban population.

The Project follows a sector lending approach and supports sector policies on urban development, including the Government's Action Plan for 2004-2008 and program to provide 40,000 households with opportunities to live in housing with improved basic services. The Project will consist of four components: (i) A: improvement of basic urban services, (ii) B: urban road improvement, (iii) C: small loans for water connections and on-plot facility improvements, and (iv) D: institutional development and training.

Project implementation will start with two core subprojects: (i) improvement of the Hailaast road section in Ulaanbaatar  and (ii) water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management in Erdenet. The remaining subprojects will be identified and formulated during project implementation in accordance with rigorous procedures for screening, identification, selection, and appraisal of the subprojects. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) reviewed the two core subprojects and found that they are viable from a technical, institutional, social, financial, economic, and environmental perspective. For each of the remaining subprojects, the Ulaanbaatar municipal government and concerned aimag (province) governments and public urban services organizations (PUSOs) will prepare a feasibility study, including a resettlement plan and environmental impact assessment. For the water supply subcomponent, concerned aimag governments will be required to indicate strong political commitment to implement the tariff reforms to ensure repayment to the Government.  

Developing the Economic Cooperation Zone Project. The project aims to operationalize the Zamyn-Uud free zone and support the development of the Zamyn-Uud-Erenhot cross-border economic zone, through: (i) construction of infrastructure and facilities  (ii) strengthened management and operation  and (iii) establishment of a CBEZ port of entry system. The project is expected to improve Mongolia's regional trade and investment linkages particularly in CAREC corridor.  

Fourth Health Sector Development Project. The project will strengthen the hospital sector in Ulaanbaatar and improve drug safety nationwide. It complements previous Asian Development Bank (ADB) development initiatives in the health sector in Mongolia.  

Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program - Tranche 1. The program approach aims to initiate a redevelopment process in ger areas. Improving infrastructure within the ger area subcenters and connectivity with the city core center is critical for inclusiveness and important to facilitate the movement of people and goods, develop urban corridors, and create clusters of subcenters. Better urban planning combined with a network of infrastructure along priority roads will initiate a structural change of subcenter urban fabric. This will (i) improve residents  access to basic urban services, public space, and socioeconomic facilities  (ii) support local economic development  (iii) allow residents and businesses to take advantage of urban economies  and (iv) provide better housing options. The changes in land use and higher urban density will improve water, sanitation, and heating services delivery.

Road map. Based on government and Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB) priorities to redevelop ger areas, the road map for the program will support the MUB in establishing a network of well-developed subcenters to provide jobs, housing, and economic opportunities with reduced soil and air pollution. It comprises sequenced investments, municipal reforms, and capacity building (policy, planning, and monitoring), with four strategic objectives: (i) expand roads and basic urban services (water, sewerage, and heating) within subcenters and improve connectivity to initiate land use transformation  (ii) increase economic and public services through investments in socioeconomic facilities to meet population needs, increase urban functions, and encourage job creation  (iii) increase service provider efficiency by improving water supply, sewerage, and heating service operations  and (iv) strengthen institutions and capacity by improving urban planning and subcenter development, community awareness, participation and empowerment, service provider operations and management, and program implementation capacity. 

Strategic context and sector policy. In February 2013, Parliament approved the Adjustments to the Ulaanbaatar City Urban Development Master Plan 2020 and Development Directions 2030. The master plan produced two important outcomes: (i) integration of ger area development into the city master plan, and (ii) acknowledgement of the value and function of ger area subcenters as key elements of future city growth. The MUB is developing the Ger Area Development Program and established a Ger Area Development Agency, supervised by the vice mayor in charge of urban development and investment. On 30 May 2013, the city council resolution No.10/38 endorsed the program, subcenter locations under project 1, and coordination of the investment program with the city master plan. The MUB proposed a special purpose development vehicle (subcenter redevelopment authority) to facilitate, supervise, and coordinate the redevelopment process of the selected subcenters. In addition, the Ministry of Economic Development s Street Project is to improve road conditions in Ulaanbaatar and includes a ger area component. The National Development Strategy and the New Reconstruction Midterm Program (2008 2016) constitute the national framework for program implementation. The program is consistent with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) country partnership strategy, 2012 2016 for Mongolia  ADB s Strategy 2020 priorities, including environmental sustainability and private sector development  as well as the core themes of green, competitive, and inclusive cities of ADB s Urban Operational Plan. 

Policy dialogue and capacity development. To supplement the strong policy framework, policy dialogue and capacity development will focus (i) in communities, on community participation, awareness, and empowerment, including design and implementation of the social and gender action plan  and establishment of community development councils (CDCs) and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development councils (SDCs)  (ii) in subcenters, on subcenter upgrading, including technical guidance for preparing and implementing local development plans, urban zoning regulation and construction standards, and a development framework with a transparent mechanism to regulate land redevelopment insuring current residents are integrated in the redevelopment plan  and (iii) in the city, on the master plan through ongoing ADB technical assistance to strengthen urban planning capacity. Capacity development for water and wastewater utilities will target (i) improving the MUB and USUG management contract, (ii) defining a clearer tariff road map, and (iii) providing technical support to the Water and Sewerage Regulatory Commission. For heating, the focus will be to ensure financial sustainability and capacity of new and existing heating facilities operators in the selected subcenters and to strengthen provisions in management contracts.

Financing modality. An MFF is the proposed financing modality to promote a long-term partnership between ADB, the government, and the MUB to facilitate the development of sustainable, inclusive, and livable ger areas. The MFF will support the policy framework for the redevelopment of ger areas, and provide opportunities for constructive dialogue and capacity development on city planning, policy reforms, and physical and nonphysical investments. It will generate critical mass, predictability, and continuity for basic urban services provision in ger areas, and enable ADB to better respond to MUB needs. 

Development coordination. In preparing the program, ADB coordinated closely with development partners involved in Ulaanbaatar s urban sector. Three ADB-financed projects will directly support the program: (i) a bus rapid transit line from the city center to Selbe subcenter  (ii) support for housing and micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise financing in ger areas targeted by the program  and (iii) capacity development technical assistance to strengthen MUB urban planning capacity.  

Regional Road Development Project - Supplementary. The Project will assist the Government in achieving the objectives of the Initial Project by financing cost overruns related to the following Parts of the Initial Project:
Part A Initial Project Road: (a) The construction of the remaining sixty-two (62) kilometers (km) of the two-lane road section of about four hundred thirty (430) km from Choyr to the border near Zamyn-Uud   (b) The price adjustment for the contracts related to the construction of the road sections from (i) 35th Railway Crossing to 18th Khudag, and (ii) 18th Khudag to 62.2 km mile post.
Part D Area Development: (a) The price adjustment for contract related to the construction of the access road to Urgun Soum.  

Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program - Tranche 3. Ulaanbaatar city is home to more than 1.44 million people. The central city core with comprehensive utility services is surrounded by vast, substandard, and unserved ger areas of about 100 square kilometers. Ger areas accommodate about 60% of the city's population (about 840,000 inhabitants) and have spread and expanded through successive waves of migration. These settlements of low- and medium-income households are characterized by loosely aligned plots, creating irregular unpaved pathways. The majority of households living here have land tenure. Lack of basic urban infrastructure and services in ger areas has caused severe pollution that threatens city residents' health. Obsolete household coal stoves for heating, and traffic congestion caused by unplanned road networks have helped generate some of the highest levels of air pollution in the world. Households exclusive reliance on open pit latrines and a poor solid waste collection system has led to poor sanitation, along with limited access to water supplied by water kiosks. There is a lack of basic social and public facilities, such as green spaces, parks, sports centers, kindergartens, and primary health centers. The upgrading of ger areas is constrained by inadequate urban infrastructure, lack of urban planning, poor urban services, and limited public spaces and facilities.

On 12 December 2013, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved the Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program using multitranche financing facility (MFF) modality, comprising three tranches. On 16 April 2020, the President approved the extension of the MFF availability period from 9 years to 10 years (or from 31 December 2022 to 11 December 2023) to ensure the timely implementation of tranche 3. The total program cost is $320.00 million, of which $163.70 million will be financed by ADB  $96.00 million by the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB)  and up to 50.00 million euros ($60.30 million equivalent at the time of approval) parallel cofinancing by the European Investment Bank. This program is the result of a successful policy dialogue between ADB and the MUB that catalyzed the (i) integration of ger areas in the Ulaanbaatar city master plan for the first time in December 2013, and (ii) adoption of a priority service and economic hubs (subcenters) development strategy in ger areas as a catalyst for more polycentric and inclusive city development. Under this program, a road map has been developed to establish a network of well-developed city subcenters to provide jobs, housing, and economic opportunities with reduced soil and air pollution. The program has introduced a paradigm shift and replicable mechanism to systematically extend modern infrastructure and key social facilities to ger area. The framework financing agreement was signed on 9 December 2013 and ratified by the Mongolian Parliament on 23 May 2014.

Tranche 3 of the MFF will align with the program strategic road map to support the redevelopment of two additional subcenters in the eastern and western ger areas (Sharkhad and Tolgoit).  

Senior Loans to XacBank and TenGer Financial Group for Supporting Micro, Small, Medium-Sized Enterprises and Leasing Finance. The proposed unsecured senior loans to XacBank for up to $30 million and to TFG (for onlending to XacLeasing) for up to $10 million will support Mongolian MSMEs through subloans made by XacBank and through leases provided by XacLeasing.  

Social Sectors Support Program. The Program will support the fiscal adjustment necessary for Mongolia's economic stabilization program and help to ensure that the budget for social sectors expenditures remains adequate. The Program will protect the poor during the financial crisis by implementing a set of policy measures in the social welfare, health, and education sectors to provide essential social services, and to initiate longer-term reforms to improve the targeting of social assistance and living conditions of the poor, especially in ger areas of Ulaanbaatar.  

Darkhan Wastewater Management Project. The project will support environmentally sustainable urban development and improved living standards in Darkhan City, Mongolia. It will improve the city's wastewater management infrastructure and service delivery through (i) a modern wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), (ii) improved sewer system and pumping stations, and (iii) institutional capacity development and policy dialogue. The project will promote poverty alleviation supporting of a city with 27% poverty incidence and contribute to a more balanced national urban system and strengthened urban-rural relationships by supporting urban and industrial development of a second tier city in Mongolia. The project will contribute to improved cross-border water quality management by improved water quality of the Kharaa River that drains into the Baikal Lake in the Russian Federation.  

Riau Natural Gas Power Project. The project entails construction, operation and maintenance of a 275 megawatt (MW) combined-cycle gas-fired power plant (CCGT), located in Tenayan Raya District, Pekanbaru City Regency, Riau Province in the central part of Sumatra, and including a gas pipeline of approximately 40 km, a transmission line of approximately 750 m, and associated facilities.  

Electricity Grid Strengthening—Sumatra Program. One of the priorities in the Government of Indonesia's National Medium-Term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional or RPJMN), 2015-2019 is to enhance domestic energy security. Within the sector, the Electricity Power Supply Business Plan (Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik or RUPTL) provides a ten-year plan (2015-2024) which also includes a five-year Electricity Development Plan with specific targets for 2015-2019. The government is now calling for expanding power generation capacity across Indonesia by an additional 35 gigawatts (GW) from 2015 to 2019 to achieve 7% economic growth and alleviate existing grid constraints of which 9 GW is to be installed in Sumatra. The program will contribute to PLN's overarching power development plans for Sumatra as identified in the RUPTL 2015-2024. A stronger transmission system with robust distribution networks will increase reliability of connections with industrial, commercial, and residential customers. At the impact level, the program is aligned with the RUPTL's goal of enhancing the quality of life in Indonesian society by the sustainable use of electricity as a key driver of increased economic activity. The expected outcome of the RBL program is that the adequacy and reliability of power supply are achieved for Sumatra. This adequacy and reliability is defined by the outcome indicators, which are measured against realistically set targets. The outcome is linked to all five Results Areas in the national electricity results framework and the key performance indicators for the RBL program outcome are identical or similar to those used by PLN in their own Results Areas (increase in number of customers, electricity sales, and customer satisfaction). In RBL modality, disbursement-linked results consist of disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs) that can include development outcomes, intermediate outcomes, outputs, and institutional strengthening.  

Community Water Services and Health. The Project will provide rural water supply and sanitation facilities and services to about 1,000 communities in 20 districts in provinces of West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, Jambi and Bengkulu  combined with capacity building for districts and communities, and sanitation and hygiene behavioral change programs. The Project will provide an estimated 1.2 million people with safe drinking water, of whom about 0.6 million will also benefit from improved sanitation facilities. 

The objective of the Project is to enhance the health status of low-income communities in rural areas based on better hygiene behavior and sustain access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation. 

The Project has four components: (i) improving the capacity of local governments for facilitating, regulating and delivering quality services in water and sanitation to the target communities  (ii) strengthening the community capability to design, co-finance, build, operate, and manage community-based water and sanitation facilities  (iii) improving access to water and sanitation services through construction of adequate facilities based community demand  and (iv) increasing hygiene awareness through information, education, and communication campaigns. The Project will cover about 1,000 communities in 20 districts in the provinces of West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, Jambi, and Bengkulu.  

Economic Recovery Support Program - Subprogram 2. The Samoa ERSP is a program cluster of two subprogram loans totaling $26.82 million. The ERSP program cluster aims to assist Samoa's economic recovery and movement to a higher medium-term growth rate, following the double impact of the global economic crisis and the September 2009 tsunami. Subprogram 2 of the program cluster will support improved fiscal management and structural measures that will place the economy on a sustainable medium-term growth path. Budget support will help create the fiscal space to enable raised levels of capital spending over the medium term. This will be complemented by measures that enable targeting of services to protect the vulnerable and by engagement with key stakeholders.

Subprogram 2 completes the program reform agenda under the ERSP program cluster. Subprogram 2 is consistent with the strategic focus of the country partnership strategy for Samoa (2008-2012) to address binding constraints to growth, including deficiencies in access to public services and in the quality of public service delivery, and weaknesses in the private sector-enabling environment. Subprogram 2 of the ERSP program cluster supports the government's economic and financial reform program in coordination with key development partners including Australia, the European Union and the World Bank. The national elections, in March 2011, slowed the formulation and implementation of policy and as such proved a challenge to the program cluster. Subsequent to this, the government remains strongly committed to continuing dialogue with development partners. 

Subprogram 2 loan financing will help meet the Government's overall budget financing needs, particularly given the adjustment costs arising from implementing an economic reform program to place the economy on a sustainable growth path. Structural and governance measures will strengthen prospects for sustaining economic growth over the medium term. Infrastructure will be upgraded and rebuilt amid constant efforts to reinforce fiscal safeguards to preserve fiscal sustainability and sustain the expansion in capital expenditure, while paying special attention to the needs of the vulnerable members of the community and ensuring widespread engagement in the program.  

Science and Technology Project in Upper Secondary Education. The proposed project is part of Asian Development Bank (ADB) strategically sequenced support to harness the transformational potential of upper secondary education (USE) in Cambodia. The project will build on the first two USE programs by deepening reforms in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and address the increasing demand for high-quality human resources to boost Cambodia's rapidly evolving economy. It will improve upper secondary STEM education by (i) providing high-quality teaching-learning environments in a wide range of upper secondary schools (USSs) nationwide, (ii) increasing the skills of USE STEM teachers and strengthening STEM education delivery, and (iii) strengthening USS leadership and management capacity.  

Fourth Greater Mekong Subregion Corridor Towns Development Project. The project will improve urban services and enhance regional economic connectivity in provincial capital towns of Kampong Cham, Kratie, and Stung Treng along the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Central Corridor in Cambodia. The project will finance key urban environmental infrastructure and enhance institutional effectiveness with a focus on private sector engagement and information and communication technology-based public management systems, and the policy and planning environment for regional economic connectivity.  

Climate Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development Program.

The proposal for Asian Development Bank (ADB) financing includes (i) wastewater management and pollution control, including the establishment of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and water reuse facilities along the south bank of the Hai River estuary  (ii) clean-up and reuse of contaminated sediment in the Hai River estuary area  (iii) ecosystem rehabilitation in the Hai River estuary area  (iv) establishment of an environmental monitoring and emergency response center (EMERC) in the Harboer Economic Area (HEA), formerly called the Harbor Industrial Park  and (v) prevention of storm-surge  disasters. A project preparatory technical assistance was provided [ADB. 2009. Technical Assistance to the People's Republic of China for the Hai River Pollution Control and Ecosystem Rehabilitation. Manila (TA 7312-PRC, $700,000, approved on 14 July)].  

Second Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project - Additional Financing. The project was designed to expand access to improved rural water supply and
sanitation (RWSS) and to improve the health of rural residents in six provinces around the Tonle
Sap Lake in Cambodia  

Flood Damage Emergency Reconstruction Project. The project will rehabilitate infrastructure (national, provincial, and rural roads and irrigation facilities) damaged by the 2011 flood to be implemented from April 2012 to March 2015.  

Skills for Future Economy Sector Development Program (Subprogram 1). The sector development program (SDP) is part of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) support to the Government of Cambodia to strengthen human capital and transform the country into a technology-driven, knowledge-based industrial economy. It combines a programmatic PBL approach with a project investment to achieve strategically sequenced structural and institutional reforms in technical and vocational education and training (TVET), which includes increased private sector involvement to address skills gaps and shortages. The SDP will improve employability of the current and future labor force through policy reforms and project investments that will mutually reinforce each other to enhance the skills development ecosystem, deliver industry-led inclusive training, and mobilize more resources for demand-driven skills development.  

Prime Road National Solar Park Project. The project finance loan will support Prime Road Alternative (Cambodia) Co. Ltd to develop and operate a 60-megawatt alternating current (MWac) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia. The project is the culmination of a One ADB effort over several years involving SERD, SDCC, OPPP, and PSOD. The ADB financing will meet the borrower's requirements for longer-tenor, United States (US) dollar-denominated project financing, which local financial institutions are unable to provide. ADB has been leading the transaction and will mobilize over $5 of cofinancing from commercial, development finance, and concessional sources (including CFPSII) for every $1 of ADB investment. Classified effective gender mainstreaming, the project will also promote gender equality and women's empowerment in Cambodia.  

Second Power Transmission and Distribution Project. Sihanoukville, Cambodia's only deep-sea port, is a fast-growing city with major ongoing developments to (i) expand the port facilities, (ii) upgrade the airport, and (iii) set up an export processing zone, thus making Sihanoukville an import gateway to the southern economic corridor. No power transmission grid connects Sihanoukville to the national grid. The city gets its power from a small, isolated power system based on diesel generators. This mode of power generation is expensive, inefficient, as it does not achieve economies of scale, and cannot meet the demand. The Project will complement previous investments in the transmission and distribution facilities. It will (i) extend the 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Kampot to Sihanoukville, (ii) build associated substations and bulk supply distribution facilities, and (iii) carry out institutional development and capacity building for ElectricitÂ¿ du Cambodge (EDC).  

Third Financial Sector Program - Subprogram 3. ADB has been the leading development partner of the finance sector in Cambodia since 1999. A comprehensive approach was required to rebuild the financial system in a devastated economy that had no finance sector. Responding to the government's needs, the approach has been broadly based so far. After successfully rebuilding the basic foundation of the banking industry under the first and second programs,  the third program has begun to support the sector's expansion to cover the important subsectors of nonbanking services and capital markets, and to boost investors' and beneficiaries' confidence in the system with a stronger legal and regulatory framework, necessary infrastructure, and better quality of services, including consumer protection.

The third program has focused on creating an enabling environment for all sector stakeholders, including the various regulators. The scope has shifted from the establishment of regulatory frameworks to their effective implementation and oversight, and more transparency. Proper financial infrastructure is required to meet rising market needs for more efficient and diverse financial services, as is further development of the legal foundations to ensure smooth transactions in the sector. These reforms require coordination within the government and careful sequencing, including dialogue with the private sector. The third program has been facilitating closer coordination.

After completion of the third program, ADB will continue the policy dialogue with the government under the Post-Program Partnership Framework. Also, ADB's technical assistance (TA) for implementing subprogram 2 of the Third Financial Sector Program has been extended to June 2015 to deal with the remaining issues.6 However, for the next round of support, ADB should concentrate on its areas of comparative advantage, in consultation with other development partners and the government. A first dialogue with the government to this end has started in the process of formulating the CPS, sector assessment, and strategy and road map.

The impact will be a sound, market-oriented finance sector that supports the mobilization of financial resources. The outcome will be a growing, resilient, and efficient financial system.  

Integrated Urban Environmental Management in the Tonle Sap Basin Project. The project will finance environmental infrastructure (for flood protection, drainage, wastewater management and treatment, and solid waste management) in Kampong Chhnang and Pursat. The project will finance small-scale community-driven environmental infrastructure  strengthen sector operations and coordination  and build capacity for project management and operations and maintenance.  

Upper Secondary Education Sector Development Program. The program is the response of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the government's vision of improving the quality of its human resources to sustain Cambodia's economic development and enhance its competitiveness. This will be achieved by supporting sequenced reforms aimed at improving the effectiveness of upper secondary education (USE). The program will (i) support initiatives to improve access to, quality of, and relevance of USE  and (ii) strengthen institutional capacity for planning, management, and delivery of education. While the policy reforms will be applied nationwide, most of the project activities will be implemented in seven disadvantaged provinces.  

Promoting Economic Diversification Program - Subprogram 1. The PED Program will support the Government's private sector development agenda, including institutional capacity development.  

Tonle Sap Lowlands Rural Development Project. The Project will support community mobilization for formulation of development plans and implementation of small scale infrastructure to enhance rural incomes and thereby relieve pressures on the natural resource base of the Tonle Sap Basin. It will increase options for people to develop the necessary skills and to access additional financial resources to enable pursuit of new livelihood activities. The Project consists of three components: (i) improve rural infrastructure - (a) improvement and development of social infrastructure  (b) improvement of agricultural water management infrastructure  and (c) improvement of rural roads and communication infrastructure  (ii) increase livelihood options for rural communities - financial services and technical services  and (iii) project management.  

Commune Council Development Project (Phase II). Building on the already reviewed achievements and lessons from the Commune Council Development Project 2003-2006 (Loan 1953-CAM), the Project provides a second phase of support to local administration in Cambodia. The Project has three components: a) Commune Council Facilities, which will enable about 235 more commune councils to build their own `Local Assembly' premises, enabling them to function, and to symbolize the permanent status of local democracy across the country, b) civil Registration System Development, to consolidate Cambodia's record achievement in collecting hard-copy civil registration records over 2003-2006 through creating a modern, computerized national civil registration system  and c) Capacity Development, to continue building the awareness, understanding and concept of public services, democratic rights and responsibilities.  

Decentralized Public Service and Financial Management Sector Development Program - Subprogram 1. The program seeks to improve public service delivery by supporting the development of efficient and accountable subnational administrations.

Tonle Sap Sustainable Livelihoods. The impact of the Project will be improved livelihoods. The outcome of the Project will be increased access to assets in the five provinces that adjoin the Tonle Sap. The project area encompasses the buffer zone and core areas. Specifically, it covers 37 communes, comprising 316 villages with a population of 287,430 in 54,857 families. These communes qualify because they pursue livelihood activities in the buffer zone.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Border Areas Health Project. The project will improve access to quality health services for populations residing in and migrating across Banteay Meanchey province in Cambodia's northwest. Banteay Meanchey province serves as a transit point for migrants departing to and returning from Thailand. It also serves as a destination point for internal migrants seeking opportunities in the province's special economic zones (SEZs) and informal sector industries. Populations residing in and migrating through Banteay Meanchey are susceptible to mobility-linked health threats, including communicable diseases and environmental and social risk factors. The project will invest in new health facilities and equipment, expand the availability of clinical care and migrant-specific health services, improve the quality of the health workforce, and extend health-care-related financial protection to migrants.  

Third Rural Water Supply And Sanitation Sector Development Program. The proposed project will continue expansion of rural water supply and sanitation (RWSS) services, expanding the number of provinces from six to eight (Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Thom, Kampong Speu, Kampot, Pursat, and Siem Reap), and serving about 600 villages. While the general approach will remain the same, refinements to the project will include: (i) improved hybrid-CLTS approach developed under the JFPR grant, incorporating climate change, disaster risk management, and water and sanitation safety planning  (ii) improved water quality testing  (iii) revised approach for the sanitation subsidy and new target of open defecation free communes  and (iv) new sanitation solutions for fecal sludge management and floating villages developed under the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant.  

Port Development Project for Project Design Advance. Apia Port is increasingly vulnerable to sea swell, which impacts the safety of vessel operations during wet seasons. A Ports Development Master Plan study assessed various options to improve Apia Port's capacity and operation.  To enhance safety and capacity, the study recommended extension of the existing breakwater, enlargement of the turning basin, and reconfiguration of the port area to enhance port operating efficiency. In addition, the government has also requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support additional scope to install a cargo X-ray facility to enhance security, facilitate efficiency in customs inspections, thereby promoting trade facilitation. Together, these measures would facilitate international trade at Apia Port and provide sufficient capacity to meet forecast port demand until 2035.

To obtain more robust cost estimates and to enhance project readiness, the government requested for a Project Design Advance (PDA) facility to (i) prepare the detailed engineering designs for the breakwater extension and rehabilitation, realignment of the navigation channel (if necessary), land-based improvements within Apia Port, and a cargo examination facility to accommodate a proposed mobile container X-ray scanner  and (iii) assist the government in procuring civil works under the ensuing project.

Dairy Farmer Support and Food Security Project. The project will help PT Cisarua Mountain Dairy (CMD) sustain its operations through the COVID-19 crisis by providing financing for working capital and operational expenditure. Due to global logistic disruptions, CMD needs to increase its inventory levels of imported materials to ensure adequate buffers for sustained operations. The US dollar appreciation versus Indonesian rupiah has been weighing on the cost of imported materials, further increasing liquidity needs for building up those inventories. In addition, CMD has started experiencing delayed payments from some of its customers, which have been more severely affected by the crisis. As a result, the cash conversion cycle of the company is expected to increase significantly and cannot be financed from the company's operating cash flow alone. The liquidity support will allow CMD to sustain business operations, enabling stable production and timely payments to farmers, suppliers, employees and sales agents.  

Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program (Subprogram 3). The program's programmatic approach supports the Government of Indonesia's energy sector reform priorities and represents a sustained partnership between ADB, the government, and other development partners.

Economic Recovery Support Program (Subprogram 1). The Economic Recovery Support Program (ERSP) provides for elevated government capital expenditure to undertake post-tsunami reconstruction and provide a short-term boost to economic activity (output 1). Complementary policy actions will safeguard the overall fiscal position and enhance the quality of government expenditure (output 2). Structural and governance improvements will support medium-term prospects for economic growth by enhancing the economy's productivity (output 3). Policy actions will also provide opportunities for the vulnerable to make economic growth more inclusive (output 4). Engaging private sector and civil society stakeholders in public policy will be enhanced to deepen local awareness, understanding, and ownership of the ERSP (output 5). The five outputs will progress concurrently under the two subprograms of the ERSP. The ERSP targets economic growth led by the private sector. At the macro level, the ERSP will assist the private sector by supporting aggregate demand and lessening the risk that fiscal stress will bring macroeconomic instability. At the micro level, the ERSP will emphasize ensuring sound public investment, continuing to rationalize state-owned enterprises, improving the performance of those that remain under government ownership, ensuring effective competition in the economy and thorough efforts to modernize the legal framework affecting business.  

Central Cross Island Road Upgrading Project. The Government of Samoa requested assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the Central Cross Island Road Upgrading (the ensuing Project) a priority investment in transport sector. Samoa's land transport depends on key arterial roads that serve the two main islands, Upolu where capital Apia is located, and Savai'i. Upolu is served by three cross-island roads strategically located at the eastern, western, and central sections. The Central Cross Island Road is the key arterial road connecting West Coast Road in Apia with the South Coast Road in Siumu. The project road is 19.70 kilometers (km) that provides access to 8 villages to the capital, Apia. The existing two-lane narrow carriageway (4 meters-5 meters) road with surface seal carrying up to 6,000 average daily traffic (ADT) along first 5 km, and up to 1,500 ADT thereafter, is unsafe for road users and in need of upgrading. The project will also improve institutional capacity of executing and implementing agencies to plan, execute and maintain investment projects and will provide support to the Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment (MNRE) to improve their capacity in updating the current cadastral system.  

Power Sector Expansion Project. The Project supports the Government's overarching objective of providing sustainable and reliable electricity services to all consumers at cost-efficient prices.

The SchoolNet and Community Access Project (the Project) will help the Government of Samoa (the Government) develop the capacity of relevant divisions of the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture (MESC), as well as of teachers and students from all government and mission secondary schools, in information and communications technology (ICT) competencies. The Project will complement and expand Education Sector Project II 2006-2012 (ESP II) activities to include ICT competencies and best practices for developing and using e-learning resources in classroom teaching and learning processes. This will enhance the quality of education and cost-effectively improve student learning outcomes in six academic subjects aligned to the ESP II priorities of mathematics and science. It will also support the Government's efforts to improve the overall efficiency of the education sector and help to develop management models and partnership arrangements to ensure the sustainability of the project outcomes. The Project will foster the use of the Internet, where possible, and communication among schools domestically and internationally. The Government, through its Samoa Development Strategy 2005-2007 (SDS) and Strategic Policies and Plan July 2006-June 2015 (SPP), is fully committed to achieving efficiency and quality goals in education and aligning the education sector with the national ICT strategy. 

The Project will have four main components: (i) improving the quality of teaching and learning in secondary schools  (ii) improving access to education through ICT  (iii) establishing the Community Access Program and developing its partnerships  and (iv) strengthening education management and coordination, including improving analyses of economic efficiency, equity, and sustainability.

The Project will be implemented in two stages. This will allow the Government to assess the impact of SchoolNet and ICT on learning outcomes and postsecondary employment, and will contribute to strengthening the research and evaluation capacity of MESC.  

Enhancing Safety, Security, and Sustainability of Apia Port Project. The project delivers 4 key outputs:
1. Climate and disaster resilience. As the existing breakwater is inadequate to withstand the impact of future climate change (sea level rise) and the 100-year storm, the project will reconstruct and strengthen the breakwater, to enhance its resilience serve as a lifeline port i.e to operate in the aftermath of disasters to receive vessels carrying aid and emergency supplies. 
2.Safety and capacity. Although the port requires about 1.9 hectares of gross container terminal area to meet projected demand by 2035, the current area is only 1.4 hectares due to inefficient flow of container handling due to damaged areas within the terminal area, and sub-optimal location of utilities. The project will repair damaged areas on wharf deck, upgrade lighting, provide appropriate pavement, provide additional reefer capacity, and reconfigure container terminal layout for efficiency. The government has also requested ADB's support to urgently replace one tugboats, which has expired its operational life. 
3.	Border Security and Trade Facilitation. To enhance border security and facilitate trade, the government intends to upgrade and implement a modern risk-based intelligent customs management system. The project will provide a new container x-ray scanner and new customs examination facility. 
4.	Gender sensitive green port initiatives. To address the lack of coordinated effort to tackle environmental issues, the proposed pilot of green port initiatives would develop procedures for monitoring compliance and environmental performance. These would be embedded in Samoa Ports Authority's institutional structure.  

COVID-19: Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support Program. The Samoa Health Expenditure and Livelihoods Support (HEALS) Program is part of an integrated package of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support to help the country’s short-term efforts to mitigate the severe socioeconomic impacts and manage potential health impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Second Financial Sector Program Cluster - Subprogram 3 (SF). The FSP II aims to promote the development of a sound, market-based financial system to support resource mobilization and sustainable economic growth. With a growing, resilient, and more efficient financial system as the expected outcome, subprogram 3 will continue the following reform activities:
(i) Improve financial intermediation by upgrading the payments, clearance, and settlement system to support growing financial services  enhance market confidence by improving public financial disclosure and establishing a credit information bureau  support market development by establishing an interbank market and tradable government securities  and improving the outreach of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in a sustainable manner.
(ii) Enhance resilience of the financial sector by revising and updating the law on banking and financial institutions, and by introducing supportive regulations to strengthen financial activities  tighten prudential supervision and regulations of banks and microfinance institutions  and build on the legal and regulatory foundation by adopting a new law on commercial contracts that includes specific sections on agencies and franchising.
(iii) Promote good governance by implementing international initiatives on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism, by enhancing corporate governance and transparency in the insurance industry, by establishing commercial dispute resolution mechanisms, and by improving the capability and increasing the number of qualified national accountants and auditors.
(iv) Enhance efficiency by computerizing the management information system of the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), as well as by upgrading the skills and capacity of microfinance agencies’ staff.  

Second Decentralized Public Service and Financial Management Sector Development Program, Subprogram 1. The proposed sector development program (SDP) combines a PBL with an investment component to support key reforms in public financial management (PFM) and decentralization. The PBL adopts a programmatic approach to strengthen subnational fiscal planning, PFM, and public administration. This enables the sequencing of reforms and phased support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to improve service delivery and bridge the urban–rural divide. The programmatic approach builds on ADB’s ongoing first Decentralized Public Service and Financial Management Sector Development Program. The project component will operationalize the National School of Local Administration (NASLA) to provide sustainable capacity development for staff of subnational administrations (SNAs).  

Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project - Additional Financing. An additional financing to the Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project is proposed for seven provinces (Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Prey Veng, Siem Reap, and Tboung Khmum) in Cambodia. The additional financing will enhance agricultural productivity and improve access to markets in 270 target communes through investments in climate-resilient productive infrastructure, building capacity in disaster risk management of the communities and commune councils, and creating an enabled environment for agricultural productivity, diversification and climate resilience.

The Government of the PRC submitted a request for a loan up to $140 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources for tranche 3 on 6 August 2021. Tranche 3 of the MFF will align with the program strategic roadmap to support (i) SME development in the border areas through vocational training capacity enhancement and expansion of the Sino-ASEAN Agricultural Products Trade Center in Baise City, (ii) integrated cross-border e-commerce platforms development for the PRC and Viet Nam, (iii) provision of key infrastructure and trade-related services in BEZs, and (iv) physical and informational connectivity and policy coordination through development of the Sino-Viet Nam Cross-Border Tourism Cooperation Zone in Chongzuo City.  

Air Quality Improvement in the Greater Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region—Shandong Clean Heating and Cooling Project. The proposed project will implement three clean heating and cooling subprojects to accelerate air pollution abatement in Shandong Province. The heating and cooling projects proposed are innovative, as they will combine renewable energy technologies and waste heat recovered from industry and power plants to reduce the energy and carbon intensity of heat production and refrigeration, and thereby reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the heat island effect in urban areas. An overview of each subproject is provided below.
Subproject 1: West Jinan Waste Heat Utilization and Clean Energy Subproject.This subproject will provide heat to urban residents, industrial, and business customers. The technologies to be used on the project include: (i) Large temperature difference waste heat exchange technology is adopted for transporting waste heat from the nearby power plants to the city, which will increase the heat transport capacity by more than 50% than using the standard technology, and same time reduce electricity consumption for cycling pumps. The large temperature difference is achieved by lowering the temperature of return water to the primary pipeline. The waste heat will be used to supply heating to about 80 million m2 of buildings  (ii) Year-round heat supply needs to be provided to an industrial park with industrial and business customers located in west Jinan. A biomass-based combined heating and power plant using biomass briquette made of agriculture waste will supply heating to 1.54 million m2 buildings and will generate electricity of 133 GWh per year. A feedstock assessment showed that only 12% of the available agriculture waste will be consumed by the biomass plant  (iii) Jinan is endowed with geothermal resources. Deep-well geothermal offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the current practice of using coal-based space heating. Deep-well reinjection technology will be used to extract and exchange heat from the underground water, which will then be filtered and recharged back to the same aquifer  and (iv) For a few newly built resident communities not covered by the heating network and where geothermal resource is not available, distributed gas-fired boilers will be used. This subproject enables Jinan to fully utilize waste heat in the neighboring regions, to form a waste heat-dominated heating system, with distributed energy supply from biomass, geothermal and natural gas as supplementary.
Subproject 2: Shanghe Coal-Free Clean Heating Demonstration Subproject. This subproject covers the urban area of Shanghe County, the semi-urban area of 11 towns and 80,000 rural households where coal-fired stoves or coal-fired boilers are common for space heating. The subproject will use geothermal energy as the main heat source to replace coal-fired heating. Other clean options, such as air-source heat pump, are selected as distributed heating source where the pipeline network is not available. Gas-fired boilers will be an auxiliary heat source. This subproject also plans to retrofit total 660,400 m2 of urban buildings and 30,000 rural households to improve their energy efficiency. Based on the available resources, heavily polluting coal-fired stoves in 80,000 rural households will be replaced by air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps, heat-storage radiators, carbon crystal plate radiators and small household gas heaters. This subproject will play an important role in, and have demonstration effect to, other counties in the northern PRC who are also facing similar air quality issues caused by the winter heating.
Subproject 3: East Jinan Low-Emission Combined District Heating and Cooling Subproject. East Jinan is where the central business district located. The large amount of heating and cooling demands in this area requires a low-emission system supplying both heat and cooling. For heating supply, two options will be used: (i) Industrial waste heat through long-distance pipeline will be used to supply heat to 6.2 million m2 buildings  and (ii) Electrode boilers with heat storage will use off-peak electricity at night, and then deliver hot water to the households in the day time to heat up to 700,000 m2 area. For district cooling, two technologies will be adopted: (i) Ice storage, which uses off-peak electricity during the night and stores the cooling energy in the form of ice. During peak hours in the daytime, ice is melted to provide cooling  and (ii) When the cooling demand is large enough, lithium bromide absorption chiller driven by the waste heat from the power plant will be used to deliver cold water to the consumers through long-distance pipelines. The subproject aims to expand the area of waste heat supply, and at the same time use off-peak electricity to produce and store heating and cooling capacity to improve the waste heat utilization and shift peak load.

Jiangxi Xinyu Kongmu River Watershed Flood Control and Environmental Improvement Project. The project will demonstrate harmonization of development and flood and environmental management in the river basin that is a manageable size for project level intervention, using an integrated river basin model. One demonstration will be an introduction of innovative storm water management systems. Urban development increases storm water runoff by cutting trees and covering grounds with concrete or asphalt. Innovative storm water management systems reduce peak storm water runoff by promoting storm water infiltration into soil and increasing storm water retention. The demonstration and the river basin model can be replicated in other many similar-sized river basins, particularly where development is anticipated. Potential climate change impact assessment and sensitivity analysis of flood control structures' capacities will be conducted based on climate change modeling. The use of sensitivity analysis to examine potential climate change impacts and risks of flood control structures can be also replicated to other projects. The project will help XCG review Xinyu City Master Plan for 2008 6 2030 and revisit city's infrastructure planning, which will be another ADB's value addition.

The project is consistent with (i) a decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in Beijing in November 2013, which supports construction of eco-civilization and establishment of a system to protect ecological environment  (ii) ADB's recommendations for preparation of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan of the People's Republic of China (PRC), 2016-2020, and ADB's upcoming Country Partnership Strategy for the PRC, 2016-2020, which supports or seems to support improvement of water security  (iii) ADB's strategy 2020 and the midterm review of the strategy that prioritize natural resource management  ,  and (iv) ADB's Water Operational Plan, 2011-2020 which prioritizes integrated water resources management and efficiency and productivity in the delivery of water services.

Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration II Project. Chongqing is one of four centrally-administered municipalities of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Located in the upper middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Chongqing is a part of the less-developed western region which is targeted by the PRC's national preferential policies under the National Strategy for Development of the West (NSDW). Although the NSDW has contributed to double Chongqing's gross domestic product (GDP) in the past five years, economic benefits have been unevenly distributed due to Chongqing's topographical characteristics of vast hinterlands and predominantly hilly and mountainous terrain.  In Chongqing, a few rapidly developing central districts co-exist with poverty-stricken peripheral counties, and widening development gaps among districts and counties.  Within districts and counties, imbalanced socioeconomic development is also increasingly evident where urban expansion meets rural areas. The urban-rural average income gap increased to 3.4 times in 2010 and 1.45 million people live below the designated poverty line of CNY1,400 per annum.

In accordance with the national and municipal strategic priorities, Chongqing has shifted its focus from traditional centralized urban development to balanced urban-rural development.  However, many rural villages, small towns and cities still struggle with poor basic infrastructures. In addition to insufficient rural road access and limited water supply provision, frequent flooding in second and third-tier cities becomes a clear development hindrance.

Integrated Wastewater Management Project. Restoring the health of river and lake ecosystems and improving resilience to water-related disasters are increasingly important priorities of the Government. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, 28% of the available surface water of the country's seven major rivers and 31% of the water of key lakes and reservoirs are unfit for human consumption. Once polluted to this degree, traditional pollution mitigation measures, such as standalone wastewater treatment facilities, are usually insufficient to recovery a water ecosystem. In response, an increasing number of local governments are adopting a more comprehensive approach, whereby they engage engaging private operators to mitigate pollution and restore the health of river and lake ecosystems through multiple, interlocking subprojects tendered under a single basin-wide concession.

The project will support the implementation of integrated wastewater management concessions targeting environmental services for rivers and lakes. The ADB loan will support CWE in designing, constructing, and operating a series of facilities spanning several components, including (i) wastewater treatment plants  (ii) sludge treatment plants  (iii) sewage conveyance and interception pipelines  (iv) other civil works, such as the dredging of rivers and lakes, riverbank reinforcements, odor treatment, and landscaping  and (vi) the development of wetlands.

COVID-19: COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support program provides budget support to meet Azerbaijan's development financing needs, arising from the pandemic response measures. The program is aligned with the country's overarching development objective that the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the population's health, incomes, and economic opportunities as well as macroeconomic stability are mitigated. The program has three outputs: (i) COVID-19 response and health system strengthening measures implemented, (ii) social protection for the poor and vulnerable households expanded, and (iii) affected sectors supported to prevent job losses from the economic downturn. Identifying the risk that the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, global economic slowdown, and fall in oil prices could hurt the growth prospects, necessitating more financial resources than originally envisaged, based on the program's theory of change, the outputs contribute to achievement of the expected outcome that the COVID-19 outbreak is more effectively managed and its adverse social and economic impacts are reduced. The design and monitoring framework presents the relevant indicators reflecting the pandemic response measures. The program is aligned with the ADB's country partnership strategy, 2019-2023 for Azerbaijan and the government's development strategy.  

Water Supply and Sanitation Investment Program - Tranche 3. Project 3 under the Investment Program is divided into two main subprojects benefitting the population of 50,573. The first subproject will improve the water supply and sewerage network in Aghjabedi town, whereas the second subproject will improve the same in peri-urban towns of Nakhchivan, namely , namely Qaracuq, Qarahanbeyli, Bulgan, Haciniyyet and Tumbul, located south and southwest of Nakhchivan city. 

The main objectives of the subprojects are to (i) meet the demand for water by increasing the proposed volume at the consumer end to 147 liters per capita per day (lpcd) for domestic consumption and 29.4 lpcd for non-domestic consumption  (ii) increase the abstraction of water from the existing and new sources to meet water demand  (iii) improved water distribution network to provide between 90 to 100% of the households with safe and reliable water supply as compared to 32% in 2011  (iv) reduction of non-revenue water (NRW) to 10% of production through district/bulk metering  hydraulic zoning  leak detection and consumer metering. 

Under the Aghjabedi subproject, the investment in infrastructure would include improvement of the water intake facilities, water supply network, sewerage system as well as the administrative infrastructure. Specific activities will include: (i) rehabilitation of two existing bore wells and construction of 8 new bore wells  (ii) rehabilitation of the two existing reservoirs and construction of four new reservoirs  (iii) construction of sewage collecting system, pump stations, and effluent discharge pipelines, (iv) wastewater treatment plant and associated workshop office buildings. Under the Nakhchivan subproject, the construction of only water distribution and sewage collection networks is envisaged for peri-urban towns, as the water treatment plant and sewage treatment plant constructed under Project 1 and Project 2 respectively would also cater to the peri-urban towns of Nakhchivan. Overall, Project 3 includes construction of 266 km of water supply network, 8,000 cubic meters of storage reservoirs, 245 km of sewer lines, and a sewage treatment plant of 20 MLD capacity in Aghjabedi.  

Second Road Network Development Investment Program - Tranche 2. The project will finance construction of new motorway between Jalilabad and Shorsulu, provide capacity development and install a tolling system along M3 motorway. With progress having been made in the implementation of the first tranche, the land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) implemented, and works contractor mobilized, the government is now requesting ADB in the second PFR for Tranche 2 to help finance Project 2. Project 2 aims to develop Jalilabad to Shorsulu motorway section and provide sector capacity development. Tranche 2 will be the last tranche of the MFF.  

Power Transmission Enhancement Project. The Project is a priority investment project under the state program on the development of the fuel and energy sector in the Republic of Azerbaijan. It will construct a double-circuit 220 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Mingechevir hydropower plant to Absheron substation, to replace the existing two single-circuit 220 kV transmission lines (Mingechevir 1 and 2), which have been used for about 60 years. The Project will increase the capacity of the power transmission network in the west-to-east direction. This is crucial for ensuring the required stability of power supply to consumers in the key Azeri industrial and economic hub closest to the capital city of Baku.

The project components comprise (i) construction of a double-circuit 220 kV transmission line of 280 kilometers (km)  (ii) construction of Agdash substation with installation of two 125 megavolt-ampere (MVA) transformers and associated 110 kV transmission lines near Agdash substations  (iii) expansion of Absheron substation  (iv) project management support  and (v) institutional strengthening.

The assistance is in the form of a dollar-denominated subordinated loan (Tier II capital) of up to $10 million to Bank Respublika Open Joint-Stock Company in order to strengthen the bank's capital position and underpin the expansion of its lending activities, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).  

Road Network Development Program - Tranche 1. Project 1 of the Road Network Investment Program aims to develop an adequate, efficient, safe, and sustainable road network, linking the country domestically and internationally.

Project 1 has four components: (i) construction of about 22.1 km of a new expressway between Masalli and Astara on the southern corridor, (ii) rehabilitation of local roads in the project area and along East-West highway, (iii) installation of four vehicle weighing stations in selected locations, and (iv) project support and capacity building for road network management.  

Fiscal And Public Expenditure Management Program (Subprogram 3). The program supports critical fiscal and public expenditure management reforms to improve the quality of government spending on health, education, social protection and infrastructure, and is consistent with the government's reform priorities to: (i) align the medium-term expenditure with the National Medium Term Development Plan 2015-2019 (RPJMN 2015-2019) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)  (ii) enhance the national public expenditure system  and (iii) improve fiscal transfers and spending for better service delivery at the subnational government level.  The proposed subprogram is aligned with the operational priorities in ADB Strategy 2030 to: (i) address poverty and reduce inequality, (ii) strengthen governance and institutional capacity and (iii) accelerate progress on gender equality.  

Capital Market Development Program Cluster (Subprogram I) (formerly Financial Governance and Social Security Reform Program II). The proposed Program is the second loan in the cluster program comprising two loans to support policy reforms for financial governance and social security. The Program will build upon completed reforms for strengthening the financial sector under FGSSR I, and will support the Government in carrying forward its reform agenda for the financial sector as set forth under the Government's Economic Policy Package Pre and Post IMF (White Paper) issued in 2003.  

Fiscal and Public Expenditure Management Program (Subprogram 1). FPEMP supports the government's commitment to reduce household income inequality, and represents a medium- to long-term partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government. The government's priority areas to reduce income inequality include (i) aligning medium-term expenditure and programs with its national medium-term development plan (RPJMN) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets,  (ii) enhancing the national public expenditure systems to improve quality of spending, and (iii) improving fiscal transfers and subnational governments' spending to promote better public service delivery.  

Development Policy Support Program II. The proposed loan for the second DPSP (DPSP-2), which is subprogram 1 of the proposed program cluster, building on the support provided through the first DPSP approved by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in December 2005. The DPSP series—cofinancing the Development Policy Loan (DPL) series supported by the World Bank and the Government of Japan—is embedded in the Government’s Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM) for 2004–2009. It supports the broad goal of the RPJM to stimulate higher and sustainable economic growth (to 7% average annual growth by 2009 from around 4% prior to 2004) and halve poverty (from 16.6% in 2004 to 8.2% by 2009). To achieve these goals, DPSP-2 supports wide-ranging reforms in four core areas to (i) improve macroeconomic stability and creditworthiness, (ii) promote investments, (iii) strengthen the public financial management and anticorruption framework, and (iv) improve the delivery of public services. DPSP-2 is proposed as a single tranche operation based on a range of up-front actions taken by the Government in the core areas.  

Stepping-Up Investments for Growth Acceleration Program-Subprogram 1. The program will support the Government of Indonesia's key reform priorities aimed at accelerating domestic and foreign direct investment to enable the country to reach its average medium-term economic growth target of 7%-9% per annum for the next 10 years. The reform priorities include a more predictable and open business environment, diversified modalities of infrastructure financing, and faster and more transparent public procurement. The program reflects the government's bottom-up and lessons-learned approach in reform design and implementation to ensure policy coherence among agencies and different tiers of government.  

Sustainable Energy Access in Eastern Indonesia-Electricity Grid Development Program. The proposed $600 million result-based loan (RBL) program aims to support the development of electricity distribution networks to connect businesses and households and to enhance the quality of life in Eastern Indonesia by the sustainable use of electricity as a key driver of increased economic activity. The program will complement a proposed sector loan for small- to mid-sized natural gas-fired power stations to deliver more sustainable energy services to communities across Eastern Indonesia. Natural gas is a much cleaner fuel compared to diesel and the quick-responding nature of gas-fired engines and turbines make them a good match for intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. It is an appropriate transition fuel to move towards a low-carbon energy system. The two loans will help enhance access to sustainable energy services and contribute to climate change mitigation. 

The overall investment needs for the government's generation, transmission, and distribution program are $83.5 billion of which $43.5 billion is to come from the private sector (independent power producers) and the balance of $40 billion from the State Electricity Corporation (Perusahaan Listrik Negara or PLN).  The government and PLN will not be able to meet the investment needs on their own. PLN has an estimated funding gap of $30.3 billion which will have to be borne by other financing sources including from development partners. In Eastern Indonesia where there are many isolated grids, PLN is already using its own resources to establish 70 kilovolt (kV) and 150 kV backbone transmission systems while seeking support from ADB and other partners to strengthen and expand local distribution networks.

A results-based lending modality will be used for this proposed operation. This will finance a slice of the overall broader program needs as identified in PLN's Electric Power Supply Business Plan (Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik or RUPTL) 2015-2024 for grid development in Eastern Indonesia. A results-based lending modality will be used for this proposed operation for strengthening and developing the electricity distribution network, which involves many small-scale activities and expenditures. This will finance a slice of the overall broader program needs as identified in PLN's RUPTL, 2016-2025 for grid development in Eastern Indonesia. The RBL  is a suitable modality for the program as: (i) it allows PLN to use its own program systems, thus providing a platform for institutional strengthening  (ii) it focuses attention on results rather than expenditures, leading to a stronger evaluation culture and in line with the government's intent to move towards performance-based regulation  (iii) it is well-aligned to a broader nationwide PLN program and is, therefore, able to scale up innovations from the RBL program  (iv) it has lower transaction costs associated with program implementation  and (v) it could stimulate cofinancing and donor harmonization with other development partners through a focus on common results.  This operation is part of an overall programmatic approach and is embedded within a policy reform framework that is supported by the Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program policy-based loan  and complements the ongoing RBL for grid strengthening in Sumatra.  This RBL is included in the Country Operations Business Plan, 2015-2017 and is integral to the Country Partnership Strategy's goal of closing the energy divide between Western and Eastern Indonesia.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The CARES program will provide timely support for urgent public health measures and for the expansion of social and economic assistance. It builds on ADB’s trusted relationship with the Government of Indonesia through longstanding engagement. Indonesia meets all of the access criteria of ADB’s COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option (CPRO) under the Countercyclical Support Facility (CSF), which include robust macroeconomic management, undertaking of key structural reforms, a pro-poor countercyclical expenditure program, and public debt levels maintained at sustainable levels.  

Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Project. The project will develop geothermal steam resources through production and injection facilities in the Liki Pinangawan Muaralaboh concession area and construct, operate, and maintain a single power generation unit with a total capacity of approximately 80 megawatts (MW). The concession is located in the South Solok Regency, 150 kilometers (km) southeast of Padang, West Sumatra. The project will be developed and implemented under a 30-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with PLN (the off-taker) and a 20-year support from the Ministry of Finance, as stipulated under a business viability guarantee letter (BVGL). It is intended for base load operation. PLN will build 80 km of transmission lines from the plant site to two 150 kilovolt (kV) substations near Muara Laboh and Sungai Rumbai. The substations will connect power from the generation unit to the Sumatra grid through an existing 275 kV transmission line.  

Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas Expansion Project. The Tangguh natural gas liquefaction facility (Tangguh) has been operating in West Papua, Indonesia's least developed region, since 2009. It currently consists of two trains (Train 1 and 2) that were financed with ADB, JBIC and international commercial bank support in 2007. Each train is designed to produce 3.8 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) each. The LNG is currently sold to buyers in Indonesia, the PRC, Japan, Korea, and USA. The Tangguh Expansion consists of a third 3.8 mtpa LNG train (Train 3) and associated offshore and onshore production facilities and supporting infrastructure. Train 3 is expected to commence production in 2020, and has committed 40% of production to PLN (the Indonesian national electric utility) under a long term sales and purchase agreement (SPA).

The financing of Tangguh Expansion will be through a New York-based commercial bank that will act as trustee borrower. The sponsors of Tangguh, through production-sharing arrangements with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) are: BP (37.2%)  CNOOC (13.9%)  Mitsubishi Corp. and INPEX Corp. (together 16.3%)  Nippon Oil Corp. and Japan Oil Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMEC) (together 12.2%)  Mitsui (10% in JV with Mitsubishi Corp., INPEX, Nippon Oil, JOGMEC)  Sumitomo and Sojiz (together 7.3%)  and Talisman Energy Inc (3.1%). A subsidiary of BP, BP Berau Limited, operates the Tangguh project on behalf of the sponsors.  

SARULLA GEOTHERMAL POWER GENERATION PROJECT. The project will develop the steam resources in the Sarulla concession area and construct, operate, and maintain three geothermal power generation units with a total capacity of about 320 megawatts (MW). The units will be powered by steam from production and injection facilities at the Silangkitang and Namora-I-Langit reservoirs, located in North Sumatra. The project will be developed and implemented under a 30-year energy sales contract (ESC) with PLN, a 30-year joint operating contract (JOC) with Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) and a 20-year guarantee from the Ministry of Finance, as stipulated under a business viability guarantee letter (BVGL).  

Nutrition Improvement through Community Empowerment. The ultimate goal of the Project is to help Indonesia achieve target 2 of Millenium Development Goal (MDG) 1: to halve the number of underweight children under five years of age by 2015 and related MDG goals. To achieve this, the Project aims to reduce the prevalence of underweight in children under five years of age, and pregnant and lactating women through strengthening the capacity of central and local governments in improving the management of nutrition services. Strengthening community-based services for children and women, and social mobilization for improved nutrition and hygiene is the centerpiece of the Project. 
The Project is expected to cover about 4,000 villages in 18 districts, including poor urban areas in 6 cities, in 6 provinces.  The participating provinces were selected and agreed upon between the Government, ADB and major stakeholders based on the following criteria: (i) prevalence of malnutrition, (ii) poverty incidence and (iii) local government commitment to contribute counterpart funding.  The Project is expected to have a demonstration effect, which may lead to an expansion of nutrition interventions to other provinces.  

Primary Healthcare and Public Health Laboratories Upgrading and Strengthening Project. The Primary Healthcare and Public Health Laboratories Upgrading and Strengthening Project will assist the Ministry of Health in strengthening primary care services and public health laboratories. Along with three multilateral development banks, ADB will cofinance the provision of equipment to upgrade and enhance the capacity of primary care facilities and public health laboratories throughout the country. It will also help address the adverse health impact of climate change and improve the preparedness and resilience of the health system to handle future public health threats. The outcome of project will be equitable access to primary care and public health laboratory services for the prevention, detection, and treatment of communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and other health conditions, expanded.  

Promoting Innovative Financial Inclusion Program (Subprogram 1). The programmatic approach supports the government's ongoing efforts to further enhance financial inclusion. It will (i) improve the government's capabilities to better target and track financial inclusion efforts and enhance supporting infrastructure  (ii) directly increase access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and the underserved using innovative technology  and (iii) strengthen the regulatory framework for digital financial services, data privacy, and consumer protection.  

Loan to Indonesia Eximbank. Loan to Indonesia Eximbank. The country strategy and program (CSP) aims to help the government achieve higher pro-poor sustainable growth and social development, with particular attention to governance and anticorruption measures in all operations, which are the objectives of the government_s medium-term development plan for 2010_2014. The CSP identifies five areas of engagement to reach these objectives: (i) better infrastructure and infrastructure services, (ii) a deeper financial sector, (iii) more decentralized government functions, (iv) achieving Millennium Development Goals, and (v) more robust management of the environment and natural resources. Consultations with the government during the country programming mission confirmed the validity of these strategies and their consistency with the government_s medium-term priorities and Strategy 2020.  

Infrastructure Project Development Facility. The objective of the Project is to assist the Government, both national and regional, in preparing PPP projects effectively to increase PSP, resulting in improved availability and quality of infrastrucutre services. The Project has three components: (i) establishment of a national PDF (NPDF) to fund large-scale projects mostly in power, toll road, and trasnport sectors, and of a regional PDF (RPDF) to fund smaller-scale, decentralized infrastructure projects  (ii) technical advisory services to the PDF and capacity building for PPP project promotion and execution  and (iii) procurement and administrative services to the PDF.  

Flood Management in North Java Project. The proposed Flood Management in North Java Project will strengthen the climate resilience of the people and the economy in the Cimanuk-Cisanggarung (CimanCis) and the Seluna river basin territories (RBTs). It will help in reducing the risk to 485,000 people, of which 200,000 are poor and vulnerable, agricultural crops, and assets from flooding in the rapidly urbanizing and industrializing northern coast area of Java island. The project will make the flood risk management (FRM) approach operational by (i) establishing earth observation services (EOSs) and flood forecasting early warning and flood evaluation systems (FFEWFESs) to enhance flood preparedness of communities, (ii) improving regional planning and land zoning to reduce exposure to floods, and (iii) increasing climate resilience of flood protection infrastructure and its operation and maintenance (O&M).  

Accelerating Infrastructure Delivery through Better Engineering Services Project. The Accelerating Infrastructure Delivery through Better Engineering Services Project (ESP) will help meet the infrastructure development objectives of the Strategic Plan, 2015-2019, of Indonesia's Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH). ESP will strengthen the MPWH's capacity to efficiently design and implement its increased public investment program by (i) improving the quality and timely start-up of infrastructure projects, and (ii) strengthening the MPWH's public investment management systems. The impact will be the attainment of the infrastructure objectives of the MPWH's Strategic Plan, 2015-2019. The outcome will be strengthened capacity of MPWH's DGH, DGHS, and DGWR to efficiently design and implement MPWH's public investment program. ESP's outputs are:

Output 1: Improved quality and timely start-up of infrastructure projects. This output will support the preparation, design, and delivery of up to 40 projects in irrigation, flood management, bulk water, dam, water supply and sanitation, and national road sectors. These infrastructure projects are to be mainly financed from the government budget. 

Output 2: Strengthened capacity in public investment management. This output will strengthen the MPWH's capacity in master planning, survey methodologies and design standards, value engineering, technical and financial assessments during construction, use of multi-year contracting for civil works, asset management, safeguards and procurement systems.

MPWH, through its secretariat general, will be the executing agency, with DGH, DGWR, and DGHS as implementing agencies.  MPWH will establish a steering committee to monitor the ESP's overall implementation and ensure ESP-supported projects are prioritized for implementation. A project coordination office will be established at the Bureau of Budget Planning and International Cooperation of the MPWH's secretariat general to support the steering committee.  DGH, DGHS, and DGWR will each establish (i) a project management office headed by a project director and supported by administrative staff  and (ii) project implementation units within their respective sector directorates to lead the selection of consultants for project preparation, with participation of concerned local offices of DGH, DGHS, and DGWR, as required. The project implementation units and local offices of DGH, DGHS, and DGWR will establish project teams to review and endorse the outputs of consulting firms for direct payment by ADB. All consultants will be recruited and managed in accordance with ADB's Guidelines on the Use of Consultants (2013, as amended from time to time).

Under the ESP, a large number of consulting firm contracts will need to be expeditiously procured. Given this, and based on ADB's unique experience in supporting the preparation of large pipelines of PPP projects in India and the Philippines,  the ESP will apply the following two-phase method for selecting consulting firms for project preparation purposes: (i) the consulting firms will be selected to be part of a panel, and the empanelled firms will be retained for up to 3 years on a noncommittal basis under indefinite delivery contracts (empanelment phase)  and (ii) for preparation of individual projects, a selection will be made from the panel based on the evaluation of full technical proposals submitted by the consultants (call-down phase).  MPWH will apply this two-phase approach for the first time under the ESP. The National Public Procurement Agency has encouraged piloting testing this approach at MPWH for eventual replication in other sectors.  

Higher Education for Technology and Innovation Project. The proposed project will support the government?s human capital development agenda by strengthening the capacity of two public universities?the Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) in East Java Province and Universitas Lampung (UNILA) in Lampung Province?to provide cutting edge higher education and high-quality research?two key drivers of technology development and innovation. It will provide world-class academic facilities and innovation centers, and will strengthen faculty, staff, and student capacity to teach, research, and innovate. It will support the construction of a teaching hospital to boost capacity to develop high-quality health personnel and provide quality medical services to respond to increased demand for health services, including those triggered by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The project will provide new research facilities and grants to stimulate commercialization of new products and foster collaboration between universities and industry.  

Stepping Up Investments for Growth Acceleration Program (Subprogram 2). SIGAP is designed to adopt a bottom-up approach by promoting an evidenced-based policy dialogue approach through piloting the implementation of certain policy actions at local levels. It also adopts a new approach to dialogue between national and local governments and the business community to address policy incoherence between different tiers of government. The interplay of an evidence-based approach and effective public-private dialogue aims to achieve better buy-in from all stakeholders, improve coordination and ease implementation difficulties, where the largest set back has been experienced in the past.  

Local Government Finance and Governance Reform Program. The overall goal of the Program is to enhance transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of basic services at regional level. The purpose of the proposed Program is to help Indonesia achieve this goal through a series of policy, institutional, legal and requlatory reform measures.The policy objectives are to achieve (i) Supportive enabling environment for local government finance and governance reform  (ii) Effective and sustainable intergovernmental relations  and (iii) Improved local government perfomance and accountability in public expenditure managemetn and service delivery. These objectives will be achieved though policy actions in a number of key result areas including (i) strengthening the legal and regulatory framework guiding regional autonomy and fiscal relations  (ii) improving the equity and efficiency of inter-governmental fiscal relations  (iii) improving intergovernmental coordination  (iv) enhancing local accountabilty through financial management reforms  (v) strengthening local public expenditure management through planning, budgeting and borrowing reforms  and (vi) building capacity at central and regional level for effective fiscal and financial management.  

Eastern Indonesia Renewable Energy Project (Phase 2). Phase 2 of the project will construct, operate and maintain a 21 MW solar power plant in Likupang (North Sulawesi) and three 7 MW solar power plants, in Pringgabaya, Selong, and Sengkol (Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara).  

Public Expenditure Support Facility Program. The Public Expenditure Reform Facility (PESF) is part of a joint effort of the World Bank, ADB, Government of Australia, and Government of Japan to support a common crisismitigating action agenda with the Government, and provide contingent budget financing in the event of further instability in credit markets that may result in a shortfall in budget financing needs.  

Eastern Indonesia Renewable Energy Project (Phase 1). Phase 1 of the project will construct, operate and maintain a 72 MW wind power plant in Jeneponto (South Sulawesi).  

West Kalimantan Power Grid Strengthening Project. The proposed project is perfectly aligned with ADB's Energy Sector Assessment Strategy and Roadmap, which supports investment in strategic transmission assets that connects regions or countries across seas or international boundaries to optimize power networks by reducing the overall need for reserve capacity, improving system reliability, removing transmission bottlenecks, and transmitting cheaper power from one area to the other, addressing overall regional socio-economic and environmental improvement.  

Second Local Government Finance and Governance Reform Program - Subprogram 1. LGFGR 2 will have significant benefits and positive effects on regional service delivery, financing, and capacity development. The key expected benefits are as follows: (i) Strengthened management and coordination of fiscal decentralization by the central Government, and improved leadership, supervision, and coordination of the capacity
development of regional governments. (ii) Clearer assignment of expenditures between levels of government and improved criteria for establishing new regional governments, leading to more efficient allocation of expenditures and better vertical balance in financing between levels of government. (iii) Improved technical and policy environment for
intergovernmental fiscal transfers, revenue sharing, and local own-source revenues, leading to more transparent and equitable outcomes across regions (better horizontal
balance), and less dependence on central government transfers. (iv) Strengthened management of regional reserves and debts, contributing to better access to long-term
investment financing for infrastructure. (v) Enhanced organizational, systems, and human resource capacity of regional governments, particularly to manage and report finances and to measure performance, thus improving public service delivery and accountability. (vi) Strengthened governance through coordinated performance monitoring and evaluation to improve accountability.  

Fourth Development Policy Support Program. The fourth Development Policy Support Program (DPSP-4) is the fourth such operation in Indonesia. It is in substantive terms a continuation of DPSPs 1–3, the programmatic series of annual single-tranche operations from 2005 to 2007. The DPSP series—cofinancing the Development Policy Loan (DPL) series supported by the World Bank and the Government of Japan—is embedded in the Government’s Medium-Term National Development Plan (RPJM) for 2004–2009. It supports the RPJM’s broad goals of stimulating higher and sustainable economic growth with lower levels of unemployment and poverty, in three core areas: (i) investment climate, (ii) enhanced public financial management and governance, and (iii) public service delivery to the poor. The DPSP-4 is also proposed as a single-tranche operation based on completed actions demonstrating satisfactory progress. It builds on reforms undertaken during past DPSPs and sets the groundwork for an expanded policy dialogue for future operations.  

Inclusive Growth through Improved Connectivity Program, Subprogram 2. The proposed subprogram 2 will support the continuation of reforms on the second strategic pillar of the MP3EI achieved under the first subprogram. The government has implemented further reforms aimed at improving the policy, regulatory, financial, institutional, and business climate frameworks for connectivity and infrastructure development. A stronger enabling environment for domestic and international connectivity will in turn enable increased infrastructure investments by the public and private sectors to support sustainable higher and more inclusive economic growth.  Now there is increased urgency to accelerate implementation of these reforms to accelerate connectivity improvement and infrastructure development in general as economic growth has started to slowthe protracted nature of the recovery of the global economy.  

Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Rehabilitation from Recent Disasters. The proposed EARRD aims to help mitigate the adverse economic and social impacts of recent disasters in Central Sulawesi and Lombok. The EARRD will provide the Government of Indonesia with immediate and flexible financing to meet additional expenditures arising from disaster response.  

Development Policy Support Program. The proposed Development Policy Support Program (DPSP) is embedded in the Government’s Medium Term Development Plan (RPJM) for 2004-2009. It supports the RPJM’s broad goal of stimulating higher and sustainable economic growth (to 7% average annual growth by 2009 up from levels around 4% prior to 2004) and halving poverty (to 8.2% by 2009 from 16.6% in 2004). To achieve these goals, the DPSP is a policy engagement tool that accelerates economy-wide and cross cutting reforms. More specifically, it has involved the implementation of a set of policy actions in four core areas to (i) improve macroeconomic stability and creditworthiness  (ii) promote investments  (iii) strengthen the financial sector  and (iv) enhance the quality of public financial management and reduce corruption. Supported by a $200 million single tranche operation, the DPSP’s key achievements are the upfront implementation of the core policy actions, and the development and building of full Government commitment for a forward-looking program that deepens the reforms in the core areas, while striving to strengthen public service delivery to the poor.  

Competitiveness, Industrial Modernization, and Trade Acceleration Program, Subprogram 1. The proposed program is geared towards helping Indonesia achieve faster growth that is both inclusive and sustainable, in order to realize its development aspirations. The program comes at a critical time as the country tries to turn a corner on the COVID-19 pandemic and will focus on (i) creating an enabling environment for investments, (ii) easing barriers to trade, and (iii) growing and upscaling enterprises.  

Fifth Development Policy Support Program. This Development Policy Support Program (DPSP-5) is the fifth in the programmatic series of annual single-tranche operations in Indonesia. It is a continuation of DPSPs 1–4. The DPSP series—cofinancing the Development Policy Loan (DPL) series supported by the World Bank and the Government of Japan—is embedded in the Government’s Medium-Term National Development Plan (RPJM) for 2004–2009. It supports the RPJM’s broad goals of stimulating higher and sustainable economic growth, with lower levels of unemployment and poverty, in three core areas: (i) investment climate, (ii) public financial management and governance, and (iii) poverty alleviation and public service delivery to the poor. DPSP-5 is also a single-tranche operation based on completed actions demonstrating satisfactory progress. It builds on reforms undertaken during past DPSPs and establishes policy actions for possible future operation.  

Rural Infrastructure Support to the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM) Mandiri Project II. The Project forms part of the Government of Indonesia's ongoing flagship poverty reduction program - the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM Mandiri). The Asian Development Bank (ADB) supports the PNPM Mandiri through the Rural Infrastructure Support to PNPM Mandiri Project I (RIS-PNPM I), which included community facilitation and mobilization, and rural infrastructure support in the four provinces of Jambi, Lampung, Riau, and South Sumatra. The Project continues the support for RIS-PNPM I, financing two cycles of village planning and block grants in about 1,500 villages in 215 kecamatans in four provinces. The Project follows a community-driven development approach and will empower communities  strengthen their capacity to prioritize, design, implement, and monitor community-based projects  and provide block grants to finance community-identified needs and priorities.  

Vocational Education Strengthening Project. In partnership with the Government and other donors, the Project is expected to increase the number of Indonesian workers with internationally competitive and entrepreneurial skills over the long term. This is consistent with the Government's economic and industry policy agenda. The medium-term outcome of the Project is expected to be expanded enrolments, improved quality, relevance and efficiency, and strengthened partnerships with industry in the model VSSS.  Key success indicators will include (i) a 20% increase in enrolments in model VSSS, (ii) teaching of academic subjects, especially mathematics, the sciences and English, upgraded to national standards through upgraded curricula with increased time allocations in model and alliance schools, (iii) agreements with local industry in at least 50% of model VSSS to implement student skills assessment using local industry personnel, (iv) entrepreneurship start-up programs offered in all model VSSS  (v) arrangements with international companies or agencies for mutual skills recognition trialled in at least 40 model VSSS.  

Sustainable Energy Access in Eastern Indonesia — Electricity Grid Development Program (Phase 2). SEAEI is a multi-year initiative with a series of interrelated lending programs and projects
in Eastern Indonesia covering power generation, transmission, and distribution.3
 The SEAEI—
Electricity Grid Development Program, approved in 2017, covers the regions of Sulawesi and
Nusa Tenggara (Phase 1).4
 Phase 2 will cover the remaining regions of Eastern Indonesia,
namely Kalimantan, Maluku, and Papua. The program aims to enhance access to sustainable
and modern energy services in the target regions as envisioned in PLN’s Electricity Power Supply
Business Plan (RUPTL), 2019–2028, which will improve connectivity and help the regions’
response to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) impacts.5
 The program also addresses a key priority
of the government’s National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020–2024 to stimulate
more inclusive growth with a focus on Eastern Indonesia.  

Promoting Research and Innovation through Modern and Efficient Science and Technology Parks Project. Macroeconomic context. In 2020, Indonesia was the world's 4th most populous nation with over 260 million people and the 7th largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity. Indonesia's annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth has averaged 5.0% since 2015, and poverty levels fell to single digits in 2018 for the first time. However, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions put in place to contain the spread of the virus, its GDP growth contracted by 2.1% in 2020, grew at a slower rate of 3.7% in 2021 and estimated to grow at 5.0% in 2022. To sustain economic recovery, Indonesia has to safeguard health and human development  reopen the economy, create jobs, and boost consumption  and pursue broader and deeper structural reforms to raise productivity and growth.

Importance of research and development and innovation. Prior to the pandemic, the main factor constraining economic growth had been a flat productivity rate partly attributed to limited technology sophistication in Indonesian industries. Technology sophistication means using more advanced operations and technologies with extensive research and development (R&D) in production and industry processes. There is also a lack of absorptive capacity for technology and innovation knowhow among Indonesia's workforce. A study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ministry of Finance indicates that the adoption of new technologies could result in an additional annual GDP growth of 0.55 percentage points over the next two decades, thereby putting Indonesia's economy in the high-income group.

Government's strategy. Indonesia's policy on science and technology, and innovation is framed under the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), 2020-2024, especially its pillar 1 and pillar 2. Pillar 1 emphasizes human development and mastery of science and technology, while pillar 2 focuses on sustainable economic development. The development of Science and Technology Parks (STPs) is part of the vision and mission of the President of the Republic of Indonesia and is affirmed by the Presidential Regulation Number 18 of 2020 issued on 27 January 2020. RPJMN 2020-2024 prioritizes the development of five STPs under the following higher education institutions (HEIs): Bogor Agriculture University (IPB), Institute of Technology Bandung, Gajah Mada University, University of Indonesia, and Institute of Technology Sepuluh Nopember. Indonesia has also taken important steps to strengthen its innovation system through new fiscal incentives for R&D, large investments in digital infrastructure, and new funding mechanisms to support research.  

COVID-19: Disaster Resilience Improvement Program. The program is an integral part of Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) support to the government’s efforts to enhance environmental sustainability  disaster and climate resilience  and human capital development, including health and gender equality. The program supports reforms in disaster risk management and health services and will help manage the fiscal risks arising from future disasters triggered by natural hazards and pandemics.  

Java-Bali 500-Kilovolt Power Transmission Crossing. The proposed investment project will strengthen the Java-Bali power transmission grid by constructing 220 km of extra high voltage transmission lines with associated substations. The project forms part of the governments regional economic development master plan and its long-term power development plan. The project will benefit the population in Bali by meeting future demand growth in Bali Island, thus ensuring long-term power supply security to support sustained socio-economic growth and  government plan to achieve 90% electrification by 2020.  

Java-Bali Electricity Distribution Performance Improvement Project. The key objectives of the project are to mainstream energy efficiency as a strategic planning option to reduce the overall cost of operating the distribution business for PLN and its customers  and deliver good quality (less voltage fluctuations and improved harmonics) and reliable (less frequent and shorter-duration interruptions) electricity. 

The proposed energy efficiency project will deliver good quality, reliable power with lower losses by using existing distribution resources more efficiently. The proposed project will: (i) improve overall efficiency of electricity distribution in the Java Bali grid, and (ii) promote demand side management practices in the form of Retrofitting to LED by improving capacity within municipal governments, PLN and the private sector in select Indonesian cities to design, finance and implement municipal street lighting upgrade programs.  

Infrastructure Reform Sector Development Program - Subprogram 3. The Government fully recognized that private sector participation (PSP) could not be taken for granted, and that major structural and institutional reforms were needed. The IRSDP, formulated jointly by the Government and its principal development partners, supports a comprehensive medium-term reform agenda in various infrastructure sectors. The program loan supports three key reform pillars which are (i) strategic cross-sector reforms, (ii) sector-specific reforms for transportation, power, oil and gas, water supply and sanitation, and telecommunications  and (iii) facilitation of the preparation of public-private partnerships (PPP) resulting in sound model infrastructure projects that can be replicated.  

Outer Island Renewable Energy Project. The proposed Tonga Outer Island Renewable Energy Project (the Project) will construct grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) power plants on the outer islands of Tonga, thereby demonstrating a method for reducing the country's heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels for power generation. The Project will supply secure, environmentally sustainable energy to households, schools, and other public facilities, on the islands of 'Eua, Ha'apai, and Vava'u.  The Project will quantify the solar resource and facilitate the integration of intermittent renewable energy with a conventional diesel grid.  The Project will build the capacity of the power utility, Tonga Power Limited (TPL), in the operation and maintenance of renewable technologies. Customers will be made aware of the importance of energy conservation and opportunities for passing cost savings to poor households by way of a subsidized tariff will be assessed during project preparation.  

Infrastructure Reform Sector Development Program (Subprogram 1). The program loans, to be supported by the three proposed SPs under the IRSDP, have three key reform pillars to support:

I. Strategic Cross-Sector Reforms, resulting in:
(a) Improved policy, legal and institutional framework for greater PSP that is anchored on good governance principles  (b) Well structured risk management framework that promotes PSP  and (c) Accelerated mobilization of domestic long-term financial resources for infrastructure development  and the establishment of innovative funding mechanisms to finance PPP transactions  and (d) Streamlined regional autonomy framework, clearly delineating functional responsibilities between national and local governments in infrastructure provision.

II. Sector-Specific Policy, Legal, and Institutional Reforms, leading to:

(a) Improved financial soundness and sustainability of infrastructure services through full cost recovery  (b) Greater competition that benefits the consumers through improved service delivery and lower tariffs  (c) Independent regulatory structures that are distinct from the contracting and operating functions  (d) A level playing field between the different actors, and the prevention of abuse of natural monopoly rights  and
(e) Fulfillment of the PSOs of infrastructure service providers, in line with the Government's poverty reduction objectives.  

Rural Infrastructure Support Project. The Project will form part of the rural infrastructure component of the Government’s ongoing Fuel Subsidy Reduction Compensation Program (PKPS-BBM), and it will rehabilitate and improve rural infrastructure in about 1,800 poor and/or isolated villages in less developed districts in East Java, Nusa Tenggara East, South East Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi provinces. The Project will follow a community-driven development approach and will benefit about 2 million people or about 400,000 households.  

Horticulture Development in Dryland Areas Sector Project. The project will help the Ministry of Agriculure to optimize underutilized agriculture dry land towards modern agriculture, increased farming profitability, and climate change resilience. The project is expected to contribute to COVID-19 recovery by stimulating rural economy and supporting smallholder's entrepreneurship.  

Second Local Government Finance and Governance Reform Program - Subprogram 2. The subprogram 2 of the Second Local Government Finance and Governance Reform Program will support government efforts to improve living standards and local service delivery by implementing an efficient and equitable system of intergovernment fiscal relations. The reform priorities include efforts to improve the policy framework for fiscal decentralization, strengthen the capacity of regional government officials, and develop performance-oriented management systems.  

Madrasah Education Development. In partnership with Government and other donors, the Project is expected to contribute over the long term to increased levels of educational attainment among new entrants in the workforce, and increased rates of formal employment and household incomes. The medium-term outcome of the Project will be improved quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of madrasah education at primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary levels. Key success indicators will include (i) improved progression and retention rates within the madrasah system  (ii) improved student performance at all levels, including reduction in the quality gap between the madrasah and general education systems  (iii) reduced district level disparities in student performance in the madrasah system with significant improvements in project madrasah  and (iv) more positive community perceptions of madrasah education quality.
The overall project design rationale is to combine a carefully selected set of supply-side interventions, alongside a number of key governance and institutional reforms. The selection of these interventions and reforms is based on extensive evidence of key determinants of quality and internal efficiency improvements. A second dimension of the design rationale is to focus these interventions on poor rural districts with significant concentrations of medium-sized private madrasah, taking account of the need to avoid duplication with other donor supported initiatives.  
The design is based on well-researched district and school selection criteria and significant stakeholder consultations.  

Integrated Participatory Development and Management of Irrigation Program. The program will support the Government of Indonesia in implementing its irrigation improvement program (IIP), 2015-2025, which advances the overarching agenda of food security and rural poverty reduction through increased and improved water delivery. The focus of the ADB support will be on improving irrigation system operation, maintenance, and water delivery to farmers. The program will finance a time slice of the government's IIP in 74 districts across 16 provinces from 2017 to 2021. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) is providing parallel financing to the Ministry of Agriculture for improved delivery of agricultural services to maximize the benefits of the irrigation improvements.  

Boosting Productivity Through Human Capital Development Program (Subprogram 1). The Boosting Productivity through Human Capital Development Program focuses on economic growth through labor productivity. The program covers various aspects of human capital development, including education, skills development, health, and social assistance all wrapped within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. The program is consistent with (i) the government's National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), 2020-2024 directives on human resources development and (ii) the first strategic pathway of ADB's country partnership strategy for Indonesia, 2020-2024.  

Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program (Subprogram 1). Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program design. SIEP is closely aligned with the government's National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), 2015-2019, the goals of which include (i) expanding electricity access to all Indonesians and increasing per capita consumption from 843 kilowatt-hours to 1,200 kilowatt-hours per year as key goals  (ii) bolstering domestic energy security through expanded production of gas, improved security for downstream oil and oil products, and increased utilization of renewable energy  and (iii) scaling up energy efficiency. The program is also designed to support PLN via the company's Electricity Power Supply Business Plan, 2015-2024. Realizing these goals will require a sustained and multi-year effort. SIEP will be ADB's first policy-based operation in Indonesia that is fully focused on the energy sector. The proposed program takes a chronological approach over the 5-year RPJMN period with three subprograms.  

Fiscal and Public Expenditure Management Program (Subprogram 2). The program was designed to comprise two subprograms with the possibility of including two additional subprograms. This approach allows ADB to pace its support to the government’s reform efforts. Based on the government’s request, FPEMP will include a third subprogram to continue the reform momentum and strengthen the links between the RPJMN and SDGs. Subprogram 2 improves budget preparation, transparency, execution, and monitoring, including implementation of gender-responsive tagging and budgeting. Subprogram 3 will include 13 policy actions, six of which are considered prior actions, including piloting labor market activation programs for SDGs implementation, which will be supported through ADB technical assistance.  

Leveraging Private Infrastructure Investment Project. The project involves a sovereign financial intermediary loan of $100 million to Indonesia, which will be relent to PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero) (SMI), then on-lent to PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) for mobilizing private sector investment in infrastructure development. The project will help close the infrastructure financing gap, raise the quality and standards of infrastructure projects, and alleviate competing demands on fiscal resources.  

Poverty Reduction and Millennium Development Goals Acceleration Program. The Poverty Reduction Millenium Acceleration Program impacts will be to accelerate progress towards achieving the Millenium Development Goals in education (MDG 2), and health (MDGs 4, 5, 6) and contribute to the Government's poverty reduction agenda (MDG 1), and gender equality (MDG 3). The program's outcome is the improvement of access, equity, and quality of service delivery in the education and health sectors to accelerate progress toward the MDGs. It will be implemented in accordance with national priorities as reflected in the current medium term development plan (RPJM). The program will assist the Government in the re-orientation of fiscal expenditures to the social sectors and the reduction of regional disparities. PRMAP will include three main pillars with the following policy outputs:
I. Cross-sectoral reforms. The PRMAP support will result in: (i) increased budget allocation for health and education, especially focused on MDG-related programs  (ii) improved performance incentives and geographical resource allocation to districts for education and health  (iii) a uniform system for targeting the poor for achieving MDGs in health and education  (iv) gender equity in access to health and education services  and (v) a planning framework for MDG acceleration.

The PRMAP will lead to: (i) improved access to junior secondary schools in under-served areas  (ii) improved O&M support for smaller/remote schools  (iii) increased affordability of education by poor students/households  (iv) enhanced quality and equitable deployment of teachers  (v) education service delivery meeting minimum service standards (MSS)  (vi) improved planning and implementation of education services  and (vii) greater transparency of education outcomes to enhance accountability.
III. Policy Reforms in the health sector for MDG acceleration. Program support will result in (i) increased public financing for MDG-related health programs  (ii) better targeting of public financing for health services for the poor  (iii) improved effectiveness of maternal neonatal and child health care (MCH) and reproductive health (RH) service delivery through influencing provider behavior  (iv) improved effectiveness of communicable disease control (CDC) through integrated programs  (v) improved performance and monitoring for health-related MDGs  and (vi) improved financial information with regard to MDG-related health expenditures.  

Integrated Citarum Water Resources Management Investment Program - Project 1. The Project's objective is to improve water availability and improve integrated water resources managment. The Project's scope are project and  program management  IWRM  capacity building  support to water resources insfrastructure development and managment  water rights stregthening  disaster managment  environmental protection   development of information and decision support systems  stakeholder participation.  

Metropolitan Sanitation Management and Health Project. The Project will provide improved urban wastewater services in two regional governmtns (RGs): Kota Medan (provicne of North Sumatra) and Kota Yogyakarta (province of Yogyakarta) including neighboring Kabupaten Sleman and Kabupaten Bantul.  

Metropolitan Sanitation Management Investment Project. The Project will provide improved urban wastewater services in the cities of Cimahi, Jambi, Makassar, Palembang, and Pekanbaru in the Republic of Indonesia. These cities currently lack any piped sewerage and wastewater treatment facilities. The Project will respond to the needs of urban communities, including low-income households, by constructing new separate sewerage systems and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), setting up local wastewater infrastructure management institutions and strengthening the relevant departments of respective regional governments.  

Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program (Subprogram 2). Subprogram 2 supports the revival of Indonesia’s underperforming energy sector through reforms initiated in 2014–2015, which aim to (i) improve fiscal sustainability and governance, (ii) expand private investment in the power and gas markets, and (iii) provide access to clean energy options for all Indonesians. The ADB program, which was approved in September 2015 along with subprogram 1,3 supports the Government of Indonesia’s reform priorities  aligns with ADB’s country partnership strategy (CPS), 2016–2019   and represents a sustained partnership between ADB, the government, and several development partners. Subprogram 2 deepens the reforms begun under subprogram 1 of the programmatic approach.  

Supporting Essential Health Actions and Transformation Program. The proposed results-based lending (RBL) program will support the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Indonesia to implement a nationwide primary care transformation that increases access to quality gender- and climate-responsive primary care services. It builds on earlier Asian Development Bank (ADB) support in responding to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and aims to accelerate implementation of the Government of Indonesia's post-pandemic Health System Transformation Agenda (HSTA). The program will standardize a model of integrated primary care and strengthen public health laboratories, improve the capacity of primary care and laboratory workers (including climate awareness and gender responsiveness), and enhance digital coordination and reporting systems. The program results are aligned with the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2020-2024 and the MOH Strategic Plan 2020-2024. All Indonesians will benefit from the program, particularly the poor, women and children, and other vulnerable groups who rely more heavily on primary health services.  

COVID-19: Emergency Response. The proposed activities ? largely emergency medical supplies and other initial support required for dealing with the COVID-19 crisis ? to be financed by the APDRF align with WHO?s Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19  and the Indonesian Preparedness Plan for COVID-19.  Specifically, the Indonesian Preparedness Plan for COVID-19 emphasizes the need for clinical management particularly of severe and critical cases  infection prevention and control among health workers and the general population  and specimen management and laboratory confirmation to help reduce the spread of the infection.
ADB?s emergency response will help alleviate the government?s financial, logistic, and other constraints to meet the immediate needs and delivery of appropriate medical services. Urgent support is needed to: (i) improve testing capacity (test kits and polymerase chain reaction machines)  (ii) reduce risk of transmission to health workers (personal protective equipment)  and (iii) improve treatment capacity of those in severe and critical care (ventilators). Other needs may be identified as the situation evolves in coming weeks. Recognizing the unpredictable nature of the situation, flexibility is required in designing assistance, along with close coordination with various sources and partners.  

Advanced Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth Project. The proposed project will support advanced skills and knowledge for sustainable economic growth in Indonesia by upgrading three public universities in Sumatra and one public university in Bandung, West Java, as the first phase of higher-education reform. The project will support the construction and/or upgrading of new facilities that incorporate green-building and climate-proofing design features. The project will strengthen staff capacity at the universities and support demand-driven quality education and research aligned with local economic priorities. It will integrate new technologies in teaching programs, strengthen technical and vocational teacher education, and help the government develop a medium-term higher-education investment plan.  

Sulawesi Tsunami Emergency Response. The project provides $3 million grant under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) as emergency assistance to the Government of Indonesia in response to a 4.7 magnitude earthquake occurred on 28 September 2018 near the city of Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was preceded by several foreshocks, the largest of which a magnitude of 6.1, while at least 170 aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 2.9 to 6.3 have subsequently occurred. The 7.4 magnitude temblor also triggered a near-field tsunami, which struck parts of the coasts of Palu and Donggala. As per the situation report from the ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance (AHA) center, at least 1,424 people were confirmed to have died, 2,549 injured, 113 missing and 70,821 people displaced, while electricity and communications have been disrupted, road severely damaged, and 66,238 houses damaged. The displaced population are living in tents in over 141 sites or have no shelter. Liquefaction has been reported, with black mud rising up to five meters and reportedly burying one hundred people alive in Petobo village in Palu.  

Integrated Fishing Ports and International Fish Markets - Phase 2 Preparation Project. The proposed Integrated Fishing Ports and International Fish Markets Phase 2 Project, for board consideration in 2025 for $190 million, will modernize fishing ports to make MMAF quota-based policy operational. The ensuing project will be aligned with the following impact: contribution of the fisheries industry to the national economy increased. It will have the following outcome: profitability and environmental sustainability of the fishing industry improved. The ensuing project will have the following outputs: (i) climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable fishing port infrastructure constructed, and (ii) port management and fishery value chain services modernized.  

Emergency Assistance for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction. In line with the Master Plan for Recovery and Reconstruction for Central Sulawesi (the Master Plan), the Emergency Assistance for Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (EARR) will support the Government of Indonesia in building back better critical infrastructure damaged by the devastating disasters in Central Sulawesi Province in September 2018, where a 7.4-magnitude earthquake triggered a near-field tsunami, landslides, and major liquefaction.  

Financial Market Development and Integration Program. The government's medium-term reform priorities focus on the identified development constraints. First, the government seeks, in particular, to foster economic development by strengthening regulatory oversight. This in turn will increase stability and investor confidence. Also, the Capital Market and Nonbank Financial Industry Master (CMNMP) aims to deepen the capital market, expand access to nonbank financing, and broaden the investor base. To attain these objectives and build momentum for capital market development, the CMNMP provides a functional focus on increasing the linkages between the contractual savings subsector, the subsector dealing in funding arrangements that are compliant with Islamic sharia law, and the traditional capital markets. To support these reforms, the government has requested ADB assistance in the form of a policy-based program loan. The program will build on the government's accomplishments under the post-program partnership framework (P3F) of Subprogram 2 of ADB's Capital Market Development Program Cluster. To support these reforms, the government has requested a loan of $300,000,000 from ADB's ordinary capital resources. The loan will have a 15-year term, including a grace period of 3 years, an annual interest rate determined in accordance with ADB's London interbank offered rate-based lending facility, a commitment charge of 0.15% per year, and such other terms and conditions as set forth in the draft loan agreement. 

Under output 1, the creation of the Integrated Financial Services Authority (OJK) was authorized in law in 2011 and the agency will be operational by the end of 2012. This initiative will provide for independent, harmonized, and comprehensive regulation and supervision of the financial markets. ADB has been a consistent supporter of this effort since 2002.  In addition, Bapepam-LK has further enhanced its supervisory capabilities and those of the successor OJK by processing the revision of three primary financial sector laws on capital markets, insurance, and pensions to include resolution powers over problematic institutions and qualified supervisor immunity. Drafts of all three laws have been completed, socialized and entered into the national legislative agenda. Bapepam-LK has introduced risk-based supervisory practices to the contractual savings subsector and has continued to pursue regional integration initiatives that include the harmonization of standards. As part of these efforts, Bapepam-LK has participated in an initiative to introduce a common set of corporate governance standards in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and has strengthened corporate governance standards in Indonesia in line with this effort. Programs to develop the capacity of the industry and financial regulators have been completed and will continue.

Under output 2, the government focused on coordinated, ongoing activities to strengthen the primary and secondary government debt market, including the market for sukok. Specifically, the Directorate General of Debt Management continued to consolidate government debt issuance around recognized benchmarks. To support the secondary market and to strengthen the conduct of monetary policy, Bank Indonesia discontinued issuance of Bank Indonesia bills, which were supplanted by Treasury bills beginning in 2011. Concurrently, Bank Indonesia began implementing monetary policy through open market operations with its own inventory of securities and repos/reverse repos with maturities of 1 week to 6 months. This reform includes measures to increase the proportion of tradable securities within the government's debt stock by beginning a process through which non-tradable bank recapitalization bonds will be converted to tradable status. To improve market efficiency, increase trading volumes, and strengthen risk management, a draft global master repurchase agreement, with applicable annexes, has been completed and will be introduced into Indonesia in 2013. To provide a greater number and variety of instruments to investors, measures were implemented to ease the securities issuance process and to encourage the use of municipal bonds by rationalizing existing regulations and harmonizing them with those governing the issuance of corporate debt. To improve the quality and transparency of financial information, Bapepam-LK has continued to progress towards full convergence with the International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards. To strengthen investor protections, Bapepam-LK has launched an initiative to create a securities market investor protection fund and has increased participation in the investor area facility to provide investors with the ability to independently self-monitor their investment portfolios. Bapepam-LK has introduced a code of conduct for market intermediaries.

Under output 3, Bapepam-LK has simultaneously increased the contractual savings sector's demand for capital market products. Specifically, Bapepam-LK has encouraged participation in retirement planning by easing the rights issuance process, which benefits employee stock ownership plans, and by exempting investment income earned by pension funds from taxation. Bapepam-LK has also provided an enabling environment for the growth of takaful, a form of Islamic insurance, by issuing guidelines on the governance of takaful undertakings.  Bapepam-LK has adopted and implemented basic principles and standards of financial soundness for shariah compliant insurance and reinsurance. To strengthen the conventional insurance industry, Bapepam-LK raised the minimum capital standards for insurance and reinsurance companies and has worked with the industry to improve pricing and risk management in the life and nonlife insurance subsectors. This included collaboration to develop updated mortality tables based on Indonesian data as well as minimum tariffs for auto insurance. To broaden the investor base, the government has encouraged the development of the Islamic finance sector by giving it the same tax treatment as conventional finance. Bapepam-LK revised the criteria for giving stocks sharia-compliant status. As a result, the number of sharia-based contracts expanded and the number of shariah-compliant securities increased.  Bapepam-LK has strengthened governance in the contractual savings industry and increased investor confidence by strengthening the role of pension fund controllers' committees.  

Financial Market Development And Inclusion Program - Subprogram 3. The program supports the main reform priorities of the government and the Financial
Services Authority (OJK) to further develop and make the finance sector more inclusive by
(i) strengthening the regulatory structure for financial stability, (ii) deepening the financial market,
and (iii) enhancing financial inclusion.  

High-Value Coconut Processing Project. PTSASL was set up in September 2017 in an effort to (i) expand and diversify the Group's coconut sourcing (different geographical/climatic zone) and (ii) benefit from lower cost-base for raw materials and boost the Group competitiveness for its flagship products (virgin coconut oil, desiccated coconut products and coconut water). PTSASL key asset consists of a manufacturing plant located near Luwuk, Sulawesi, which is nearing construction completion. Construction costs of PTSASL processing plant are estimated at $7.0 million and have been fully funded by equity to date.  

State Accountability Revitalization Project. The State Accountability Revitalization (STAR) project aims to support the government's key reform priorities aimed at improving the government's accountability through stronger capacity of the internal auditors and public finance officers at the central and regional levels. The project focuses on providing incentives to auditors and finance officers to improve their capacity, improving the trainers' capacity, implement the e-learning system, and implement the State Accountability Management Information System (SIMA). These will promote good governance in public financial management and improve public service delivery for the benefit of Indonesian citizens.  

Geothermal Power Generation Project. The project will support expansion of Indonesia's geothermal generating capacity to contribute to the sustainability, resiliency, and sufficiency of the electricity system. It is aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 7 on access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all and SDG 13 on urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. The project will support GDE, a state-owned geothermal company focused on development and operation of geothermal resources, to commission an additional 110 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity generating capacity - 55 MW at the Dieng geothermal field in Central Java and 55 MW at the Patuha geothermal field in West Java.  

Sustainable and Reliable Energy Access Program - Western and Central Java. $600 million results-based loan to help state-owned power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) provide affordable, sustainable, and reliable electricity to about 112 million people living in the western and central parts of Java island while also promoting the use of clean energy.  

Competitiveness, Industrial Modernization, and Trade Acceleration Program, Subprogram 2. The program will support Indonesia’s inclusive, resilient, and sustainable development by (i) creating an enabling environment for investments  (ii) easing barriers to trade  and (iii) growing and upscaling micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). It will help raise the living standards of low-income populations, promote the development of MSMEs, create jobs, and reduce poverty and social inequality. The program will also enhance climate mitigation and adaptation and boost economic recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.  

Countercyclical Support Loan. The objective of the INO-CS loan is to provide support for the Government’s countercyclical spending program for 2009 and therefore ensure predictability in its budget financing, given limited market access and the need for a temporary fiscal expansion. This will allow the Government to stimulate the economic recovery in 2009 and 2010, protect its social spending and poverty alleviation programs and objectives, and continue with its longer term development objectives.  

Indonesian Infrastructure Financing Facility Company Project. The proposed financing of IIFF supports the Government of Indonesia's objective to increase the flow of private investment into infrastructure projects to a level that is 6-7 times the current average level.The financial projections developed for this transaction indicate that there is considerable untapped demand for long-tenor financing, however, and the lack of this product has significantly constrained the sustained expansion of infrastructure investment in Indonesia. It is in response to this perceived demand that an institutional response, tentatively named IIFF, was conceived in 2007. IIFF was conceptualized as a nonbanking financial institution incorporated as a limited liability company, with a target fund base of about $1 billion in 5 years from the commencement of operations and estimated to grow to about $4.4 billion by year 10. IIFF will finance commercially viable infrastructure projects  in Indonesia by offering ii long-term debt denominated in local or foreign currency and by providing the intellectual capital needed to catalyze public-private  partnerships in such projects. To help finance infrastructure projects structured as public-private partnerships (PPPs), IIFF will seek financial participation by pension funds, insurance companies, institutions, and new investor classes that can provide long-term sources of finance. IIFF will proactively seek, establish, and develop relationships with regional and local governments
and take on the development of projects promoted by these governments to generate fee-based income in the initial years of its operations. IIFF will be able to capitalize on its early involvement in advising the Government and other parties in relation to developing infrastructure projects to generate funding opportunities.  

Infrastructure Reform Sector Development Program (Subprogram 2). The IRSDP, of which subprogram 2 is an integral part, aims to improve Indonesia's overall investment climate by removing infrastructure bottlenecks and increasing access to infrastructure services  

Local Government Finance and Governance Reform (Project Loan). The project loan implements reforms in public expenditure and financial management (PEFM) under phase 1 through development and upgrading of related FMIS. The project consists of five components: (i) upgrade and expand electronic access tothe regional financial information system (SIKD) by 100 local governments  (ii) computerize the new Directorate General of Regional Financial Management (DG BAKD), at the Ministry of Home Affairs to enhance oversight of PEFM reforms  (iii) develop and implement regional financial management information system (SIPKD) in 71 local governments  (iv) streamline and computerize the system at the Ministry of Finance (MOF) for review of local government regulations (perdas) and draft perdas on taxes and charges for consistency with higher laws and regulations  and (v) develop certification program at MOF for regional financial administrators.  

Rantau Dedap Geothermal Power Project (Phase 2). The project will develop geothermal steam resources through production and injection facilities and construct, operate, and maintain a power generation plant with a total capacity of approximately 90 megawatts (MW) in South Sumatra.  

Third Development Policy Support Program. The proposal comprises the third phase of the Development Policy Support Program (DPSP-3), which is subprogram 2 of a program cluster building on the support provided through subprogram 1 of the cluster approved by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in December 2006 and the first DPSP which was approved in December 2005. The DPSP series—cofinancing the Development Policy Loan (DPL) series supported by the World Bank and the Government of Japan—is embedded in the Government’s Medium-Term National Development Plan (RPJM) for 2004–2009. It supports the RPJM’s broad goals of stimulating higher and sustainable economic growth (up to 7% average annual growth by 2009 from levels of around 4% prior to 2004) and halving poverty (to 8.2% by 2009 from 16.6% in 2004). To achieve these goals, DPSP-3 supports wide-ranging reforms in three core areas to (i) improve the investment climate, (ii) strengthen public financial management and anticorruption, and (iii) improve public service delivery. DPSP-3 is proposed as a single-tranche operation based on completed actions demonstrating satisfactory progress. While building on reforms undertaken during past DPSPs, DPSP-3 sets the groundwork for an expanded policy dialogue for future operations.  

Urban Sanitation and Rural Infrastructure Support to PNPM Mandiri Project. The Project forms part of the Government of Indonesia's ongoing flagship poverty reduction program - the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM Mandiri), which was launched in 2006 with the commitment to reduce poverty by  adapting a community-driven development approach and providing direct support to poor rural and urban communities to improve essential social services and basic infrastructure. In line with the overall objective of the PNPM Mandiri Program, the expected outcome of the Project is improved access to service delivery and healthy livelihoods for the poor, near poor, and women in the project communities. The Project will have three outputs: (i) strengthened capacity for community planning and development  (ii) improved rural basic infrastructure through community development grants  and (iii) improved sanitation services through neighborhood development grants. The Project will be implemented in a geographic slice of the PNPM Mandiri Program and include about 600 rural communities in four provinces  and 1,350 poor urban neighborhoods in 34 cities.  

Financial Market Development and Inclusion Program (Subprogram 2). The proposed subprogram 2 supports the government's main reform priorities in developing and making the finance sector more inclusive, and represents a medium- to long-term partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the government, and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The government's priority areas include (i) strengthening the regulatory structure for financial stability, (ii) deepening the financial market, and (iii) enhancing financial inclusion with a focus on promoting access to financial services to poor households and women.  

Flood Management in Selected River Basins Sector Project. The project will support the Government of Indonesia and river-based communities in better managing and mitigating flood risks.  The project has been designed as a sector loan to support the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Water Resources, 2015-2019 (SPWR) of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH).  The SPWR includes policy measures and priority investments in 63 river basin territories (RBTs) in Indonesia. The project will finance subprojects in the Cidanau-Ciujung-Cidurian (Banten province) and Ambon-Seram (Maluku province) RBTs. Project interventions will (i) enhance hydrometeorological data and analysis, management, and institutional coordination for managing flood risks  (ii) upgrade and develop flood protection infrastructure  (iii) improve watershed conditions to moderate runoff peaks and soil erosion  and (iv) prepare communities to manage floods. The project will promote effective flood risk management (FRM) by coupling infrastructure investment with supporting software measures. It will contribute to the achievement of the government's National Medium Term Development Plan, 2015-2019 (RPJMN) sector target to reduce the magnitude of economic and social damage due to floods.  

Financial Market Development and Inclusion Program Subprogram 1. FMDIP supports the government's key reform priorities in the financial sector and represents the start of a medium to long-term partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the government, and the country's newly formed independent unified financial sector regulator, the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The government's priority areas include the OJK implementing its supervisory mandate over the bank and nonbank sector and promoting financial system stability  deepening the capital market and the nonbank financial sector to provide efficient means for the private sector to raise capital, including infrastructure financing  and promoting access to financial services by poor households to address rising income inequality in Indonesia.  

Precautionary Financing Facility. Like many other economies, the Indonesian economy has been affected by the deterioration in the global economic outlook and turbulence in the financial markets. Learning from lessons learned from the 1997/98 Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) and the 2008/09 global financial crisis, the Government has introduced a number measures to safeguard against any major trade and financial impacts emanating from the current global economic situation. The proposed $500 million INO-PFF (a countercyclical support facility with a precautionary financing option) will enhance the Government's preparedness to address the potential adverse impact of increased volatility in the financial market, given the government's increased dependence on the market to meet its budget financing needs.  The Government has met the access criteria under ADB's guidelines for a countercyclical support facility: (i) continued good macroeconomic management  (ii) potentially significant economic impact (resulting, in this case, from a possible worsening in the eurozone crisis)  and (iii) implementation of a countercyclical program in the revised 2012 budget.  

Geothermal Power Generation Project. The project will support expansion of Indonesia's geothermal generating capacity to contribute to the sustainability and sufficiency of the electricity system, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 7: access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The project will support GDE, a state-owned geothermal company focused on exploration and development of geothermal resources, to commission an additional 100 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity generating capacity 55 MW at the Dieng geothermal field in Central Java and 55 MW at the Patuha geothermal field in West Java.  

Rural Infrastructure Support to PNPM Mandiri Project. The Project will improve the socioeconomic conditions of the rural communities in the project area. The immediate objective of the proposed project is to improve access of the poor and near poor in rural areas in the participating provinces to basic rural infrastructure. The proposed project is proposed to have 3 components (i) community facilitation and mobilization  (ii) infrastructure rehabilitation  and (iii) implementation, monitoring and coordination support.  

Neighborhood Upgrading and Shelter Project (Phase 2). The expected impact of the project will be improved living conditions in urban areas. The outcome will be improved infrastructure and access to service delivery in poor urban neighborhoods in 20 project cities. The Project will have three outputs: (i) Institutional capacities for managing pro-poor urban development are strengthened  (ii) Infrastructure investment plans to upgrade poor neighborhoods are aligned with the overall city development plans and implemented  and (iii) Public private partnerships are established to promote new settlements for poor families.  

Inclusive Growth through Improved Connectivity Program - Subprogram 1. The proposed program will support a key strategic pillar of the government's medium- and long-term development plans to achieve higher and more inclusive economic growth through improved domestic and international connectivity. The program focuses on helping achieve the government's connectivity reform agenda priorities that include: (i)  strengthened coordination, regulatory and institutional frameworks  (ii)  improved intra-island connectivity aimed at connecting rural areas with regional growth poles, and accelerated development and better maintenance of inland transport networks  (iii) improved inter-island connectivity to enhance efficiencies and service performance of transport services  and (iv) improved international connectivity by making the country's key ports, logistics and intermodal systems more efficient in handling increasing traffic and trade volume.  

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Financing Project. Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide a senior unsecured loan to PT Indosurya Inti Finance (Indosurya) of up to $30 million (or its rupiah, equivalent) of up to 5 years. In the event that the A loan or part of it is denominated in US dollars, ADB expects to syndicate a B loan of up to $50 million by mobilizing impact investors and other eligible B loan participants, subject to market conditions. ADB also expects to provide a TA to support and enhance Indosurya?s asset and liability management framework.  

Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program-Coral Triangle Initiative Project. The project will enable coastal communities, and the institutions that support them, to manage coral reef resources, and associated ecosystems and biodiversity in a sustainable manner for increasing the economic and social welfare of coastal communities. COREMAP-CTI will support the government's sector development plan and national targets for establishing effective MPAs. Project implementation will focus on improving the management, sustainability and resilience of marine protected areas (MPAs). Interventions will target three national and seven district marine protected areas (MPAs) located in (i) Bintan, Batam, Lingga, and Natuna districts in Riau province  (ii) Central Tapanuli and North Nias districts in North Sumatra province  (iii) Mentawai district in West Sumatra province  (iv) Anambas national MPA in Anambas district, Riau province  (v) Pulau Pieh national MPA in Pariaman district, West Sumatra Province  and (vi) Gilimatra national MPA in North Lombok district, West Nusa Tenggara province (project area).  

Shandong Green Development Fund Project. The Shandong Green Development Fund Project (SGDF) will pilot an innovative leveraging mechanism to catalyze private, institutional and commercial (PIC) capital for the development of climate positive infrastructure and business in Shandong Province, People's Republic of China (PRC). The project will support a portfolio of mitigation and adaptation subprojects assessed against both climate and financial eligibility criteria. The project will contribute to the province's transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient development patterns: Shandong faces mounting climate change (CC) and environmental protection challenges. The Province tops the country's energy consumption and the number of motor vehicles, responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The project aims to leverage private, institutional and commercial (PIC) finance for climate resilient subprojects assessed against both climate and financial eligibility criteria. The project consists of a mix of public and private sector capital of $1.2 billion and catalytic resources of $300 million from international financing institutions (IFI), which is required to reach sufficient critical mass of funding to achieve a significant leverage ratio over 5. The project finances a portion of the total capital expenditures of selected climate resilient subprojects for a capped period to make the subprojects bankable, by addressing the upfront project risks, as well as promoting advanced technologies and an integrated approach for climate change. The level of catalytic fund and the financing terms are linked to the climate criteria and performance in line with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) investment criteria and framework.  

Shaanxi Green Intelligent Transport and Logistics Management Demonstration Project. The project is aligned with the following impact: green economic development in Shaanxi Province enhanced. The project will have the following outcome: low-carbon, efficient, and climate-friendly logistics services in Shaanxi Province improved.  

Hunan Flood Management Sector Project. The project supported the People's Republic of China's (PRC) and the Hunan Provincial Government's (HnPG) policies and plans for flood protection investments. Since 2000, the Ministry of Water Resources had been changing its policy and strategy from a flood-control approach to a river basin-based integrated flood management approach. The policy shift was economically and environmentally sustainable and aimed to be socially inclusive. The project supported the implementation of an area and time slice of Hunan's integrated flood-control program under the Hunan Provincial 11th and 12th Five-Year Planx (2006-2010, 2011-2015), focusing on a comprehensive framework for flood control, management, and forecasting in the four mountainous river basins-Lishui, Xiangjiang, Yuanjiang, and Zishui. Flood protection works was constructed for up to 35 subprojects. Nonstructural measures were developed to strengthen hydrological monitoring, improve flood forecasting, and enhance flood warning systems. An advisory technical assistance (TA) was provided to support sustainable flood management by assisting the Provincial Water Resources Department (PWRD) to plan and assess nonstructural aspects of flood management and strengthen capacity in plan implementation.  

Hunan Technical and Vocational Education and Training Demonstration Project. The project will provide targeted support to 13 public TVET institutions in Hunan to strengthen the capability to deliver demand-driven quality programs related to priority industries. The project will build the capacity of IAGs and foster partnerships between 13 project TVET institutions and employers to jointly develop the skills needed in the workplace, and prepare graduates who are able to adjust to changing demands in the labor market quickly  modernize the curriculum by developing competency-based curriculum (CBC) in priority areas  upgrade the instructional capacity of vocational instructors and build TVET management capacity  strengthen market-oriented program planning through improved labor market information system (LMIS)  and upgrade equipment and facilities in selected TVET institutions. 

Strategic fit. The project is the first Asian Development Bank (ADB)-financed lending project for TVET in the PRC and is envisaged to play a demonstration role for TVET development in the country. Because lack of worker skills and education are viewed as a constraint to the PRC's inclusive growth, ADB involvement in the TVET sector is strongly justified. The project supports ADB's education policy and education sector strategies and Strategy 2020.  It aligns with ADB's PRC country partnership strategy, 2011-2015  and supports the PRC's 12th Five-Year Plan, which prioritizes developing high-quality human resources, increasing scientific and technological innovations, and accelerating educational reform. The project has the following demonstration features for replication in other provinces and autonomous regions of the PRC: 

(i) Enhancing industry involvement. The project will strengthen partnerships between TVET institutions and industries, and build the capacity of sector-specific IAGs in the priority sectors.
(ii) Promoting inclusive technical and vocational education and training through information and communication technology. The project will broaden access for students from remote areas by developing online TVET courses, and thus foster sharing of teaching and learning resources among well-developed TVET institutions in urban areas and less-developed TVET institutions in poor and remote areas to benefit students in project and non-project TVET institutions. 
(iii) Greening technical and vocational education and training provision. The project will contribute to the Government of the PRC's objectives of developing an environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient society under its 12th Five-Year Plan by designing, constructing, and maintaining teaching and learning buildings that reduce energy and water use, and promoting sustainable practices such as reducing, reusing, and recycling resources  encouraging the selection of training equipment with low energy consumption  and skills mapping to identify skills needed for environmentally sustainable development in Hunan.	

Incorporation of the lessons learned. Lessons from activities in skills training supported by ADB and the World Bank were incorporated into the project design. Lessons include (i) actively involving representatives of industries and IAGs in identifying occupational areas that are in demand, developing competencies for market-demanded occupational areas, and working with the project TVET institutions to develop modular, CBC and learning materials  (ii) conducting tracer studies of the trainees, and strengthening the capacity of the relevant government agencies and the TVET institutions to analyze labor market demand  and (iii) establishing a project benefit monitoring and evaluation system.  

Health Care Finance in Underdeveloped Provinces. ADB will provide a senior unsecured A loan of up to $150,000,000, and a B loan of up to $200,000,000 to Far East Horizon Limited (FEH) for Health Care Finance in Underdeveloped Provinces in the People?s Republic of China (PRC).  

Western Guangxi Roads Development Project. The Project will contribute to pro-poor sustainable economic growth in western Guangxi and northern Viet Nam. This will be achieved by developing an efficient, safe, and environment- friendly regional transport system to promote trade in, and through, western Guangxi and reduce trade barriers with Viet Nam.  

Guangxi Beibu Gulf Cities Development Project. The project will support PRC's balanced socio-economic development and poverty reduction goals by urban development of three key coastal cities in the southern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region - Beihai, Qinzhou, and Fangchenggang. The project will significantly improve obsolate urban infrastructure services and polluted environment, enhancing three coastal cities' potential to fully capture economic benefits by (i) industrialization and urbanization for the local poor including ethnic minorities, (ii) improved investment climate, and (iii) increasing regional and subregional trade activities. The project will have five investment component and one capacity development component in three cities. They include: (i) two urban roads of 16.2 km with related urban utility facilities to guide urban expansion by providing safe and efficient access for new industrial workers and trade logistics to the port area in Beihai  (ii) 16.2 km urban road network with related urban utility facilities in the port area to open up opportunity of employment and better quality of life for local poor and migrating workers and their families in Qinzhou  (iii) a new centralized wastewater treatment plant with a treatment capacity of 30,000 m3/day and associated sewerage network of 24 km to equip the city with appropriate industrial and municipal wastewater treatment technology and prevention of environmental pollution, and 16.1 km urban road upgrading with appropriate urban facilities to accomodate boosting border city trade activity, urban expansion needs and increasing mobilization of people for rapid regional economic integration in Fangchenggang  and (iv) training and capacity development.  

MUNICIPAL WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECT. MUNICIPAL WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECT. Under the Project, the Project Sponsor aims to develop and invest in WTE projects and treat daily 8,000 tons of MSW from 16 million of urban population, and to generate annually approximately 800 gigawatt-hours of green electricity by 2013.  

Air Quality Improvement in the Greater Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region—Regional Emission-Reduction and Pollution-Control Facility. The proposed project is the third in a multiyear, multisector Asian Development Bank (ADB) support program for air quality improvement in the greater Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region. The first loan, approved in 2015, focused on reforming policy and strengthening regulatory capacity in Hebei province.  The second loan, approved in 2016, targeted better access to finance, especially for small and medium sized-enterprises, to scale up investments in pollution-reduction projects in the region.  This third project will complement the previous projects and will directly help remove barriers to deploying high technologies that could reduce air pollution from industries, urban infrastructure, and agriculture.  

Anhui Intermodal Sustainable Transport Project. The Government of the People's Republic of China has requested a loan of $200.0 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources to help finance the Anhui Intermodal Sustainable Transport Project.

The project will (i) upgrade sections of provincial and national highways in Anhui Province and improve the safety features on these roads  (ii) develop new highway sections designed to support public and nonmotorized transport  (iii) improve the capacity of the province's inland waterway network, (iv) construct an intermodal inland river port on the upgraded inland water channel, and (v) strenghten institutional capacity for road and inland water transport.

The executing agency will be the Anhui provincial government, acting through the Anhui Provincial Department of Transport (APDOT). The existing foreign funds project management office of the APDOT will serve as the provincial management office, oversee overall project implementation, and represent the APDOT. Each city and county will have a local project management office responsible for the day-to-day implementation of individual project road components. The county governments of Dongzhi, Hanshan, Hexian, Nanling, and Wuwei will be the implementing agencies for teh road sector inputs. Anhui Provincial Port and Shipping Construction Investment Group will be the implementing agency for the inland waterway transport.

The project will be implemented over 5 years.  

Guangxi Wuzhou Urban Development Project. Wuzhou city is a medium-sized city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Over centuries, Wuzhou has served as a gateway city and regional transportation center to connect Guangxi with national and international markets, particularly through river transportation. In line with the Government's development program, Wuzhou will be developed into a multimode regional transportation hub through domestically funded ongoing transportation projects. 

However, geological and geographic conditions constrain urban development in Wuzhou. The city is in a mountainous region divided into three parts by two big rivers. Because flat urban land is lacking, the residents tended to build their houses in the marginal lands, which were gradually expanding up the mountains along slopes of major valleys. The mountains in Wuzhou are mainly formed by loose earth, eroded granite, and clastic rocks. As such, they are vulnerable to rain-triggered geological disasters (known as geohazards) in the form of landslides, slope collapse, and mud and debris flows. Many of these valleys, though densely populated, have been classified as geohazard-prone zones.

With support from the central Government, the Wuzhou municipal government (WMG) has made enormous investments to strengthen the control of geological disasters, mainly by building and rehabilitating of the slope protections and retaining walls. However, such traditional control measures have not always been economical and optimal solutions. Under severe weather conditions, these slope protections and retaining walls can be washed away together with houses and other buildings.

The Guangxi Wuzhou Urban Development Project will adopt a new approach to address the geohazard concern of the city. The basic principle of this new approach to geohazard management is a shift from disaster rehabilitation to prevention. Under the Project, geological disasters are to be prevented through holistic urban planning and integrated public investment. The combination of these efforts will result in (i) carefully designed urban planning for long-term urban expansion, (ii) relocation of the people living in the geohazard-prone valley to the newly developed geohazard-free urban area, (iii) engineering measures for geohazard control to convert the evacuated geohazard-prone valley into geohazard-free land for urban redevelopment, and (iv) stronger geohazard forecasting and early warning capability to improve the effectiveness of the city's geohazard management system.

The Project is aimed at promoting sustainable urban development and improving quality of life in Wuzhou. The outcomes of the Project include improved environmental management through the enhanced disaster management and infrastructure and improved municipal services, particularly in the areas of wastewater management and solid waste management.  

Dryland Sustainable Agriculture Project. The Project will improve dryland farming in Gansu, Henan, and Shandong provinces, and is located in the transition zone from the northeastern to the central western plains along the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The Project will benefit about 600,000 farm households and improve the production capacity of about 120,000 hectares (ha) in 27 counties, cities, and districts. The Project will adopt a farm-to-market, value-chain approach that creates value for poor farmers, local agroenterprises, and consumers. It will introduce highvalue horticulture crops and improved crop and livestock management, farm technologies, and cultivation practices. Organic fertilizers and agrochemicals will be more effectively used and the quality of farm produce improved through support services provided by participating private agroenterprises. These include soil-testing facilities, agricultural extension and technology transfer centers, organic fertilizer facilities, machinery service centers, seed production centers, agricultural produce information centers, product-testing centers, and expanded horticulture markets.

The Project will develop about 29 partnerships between private agroenterprises and farmers using contract farming arrangements to strengthen farm productivity, and food production and processing capacity to take advantage of growing domestic and international markets. Sustainable production and processing partnerships according to the dragon-head concept will be used to develop crops and other outputs that are processed and marketed by the enterprise. The dragon-head agribusiness structure is a successful, vertically integrated enterprise model that has demonstrated the capacity to contract with a large number of farmers to improve rural incomes through value-chain linkages and efficiencies, access to higher-value markets, and employment opportunities.

The agroenterprises were selected using strict selection criteria and due diligence assessment of financial, economic, environmental, and social factors. They will be provided with long-term financing to expand their food processing and marketing operations. 

Farmers will diversify and modify their existing traditional cultivation of low-yielding and low-value food crops to higher-yielding and highervalue crops. Their partnerships with profitable and expanding agroenterprises will ensure them higher prices for their outputs, premium prices for quality, and a guaranteed price at harvest time. Farmers' average income will increase by an estimated 15%-25% as a result of the Project. Technological improvements include (i) adopting high-yielding varieties and improved animal breeds  conservation agriculture techniques such as returning crop residues to the soil, minimum tillage, and soil conservation measures  water-harvesting techniques such as storage tanks, lined wells, and small check dams  and water-saving technologies such as drip irrigation, sprinklers, and pipes  (ii) minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and replacing them with organic fertilizers, and minimizing the use of pesticides and herbicides  (iii) reducing postharvest losses with the use of advanced postharvest and processing equipment  (iv) intercropping within tree crops  and (v) upgrading vegetable greenhouses and vineyards. 

Local government support services will work with enterprises and farmers to expand environment-friendly farming and processing practices. Local governments will provide project management that will support improved provincial and county project implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and national project coordination. The Executing Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), the three provincial project management offices (PMOs), and the county PMOs were extensively involved in project preparation, including applying the criteria for selecting the agroenterprises and partnerships with farmers. These institutions will receive training to continue applying the criteria and financial administration, and to effectively monitor the performance of the agroenterprises and local government support services, and the delivery of financial and economic benefits to farmers. Training will also be provided on imprest account management, project implementation, and project performance management.

The expected impact of the Project will be reduced rural poverty in the project area of Gansu, Henan, and Shandong provinces with increased incomes and livelihood opportunities from the sustainable use of land and water resources. The expected outcome is increased agricultural productivity through the adoption of sustainable farming practices in the project area to support higher-value, on-farm and postharvest activities.  

Henan Wastewater Management and Water Supply Sector Project. The development objective of the Henan provincial government (HPG) for the sector is to enhance (i) quality of life of the rapidly increasing urban population in the Hai River Basin (HRB), and (ii) economic competitiveness to sustain economic growth in key municipalities, by alleviating degradation of water resources and improving the quality of the urban environment. 

To meet this objective, the Project is designed to increase the collection and treatment of wastewater, and to reduce reliance on abstraction of groundwater from shallow wells (most of which are polluted by wastewater) in the project cities through physical investment, and institutional and financial reforms. The Project will support water quality improvement in several canal and river systems in the project cities through physical investment and improved water management. In addition, the Project will help strengthen water resource protection in the HRB through improved and integrated planning, water quality monitoring, and environmental management. 

The Project has identified 19 physical investment subprojects (8 representative and 11 candidate subprojects) to provide improved wastewater collection and treatment, and water supplies in the 15 project cities. The Project also identified the need for capacity building and training for the project institutions, including county water utility companies. The Project adopts a sector loan approach and will support an area and time slice of the Government's Henan Hai River Basin Plan, which serves as a sector development plan for the HRB.  

Guangxi Regional Cooperation and Integration Promotion Investment Program - Tranche 1. The Guangxi Regional Cooperation and Integration Promotion Investment Program will help the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR) of the People's Republic of China (PRC) implement its strategies and action plans for regional cooperation and integration (RCI) with countries of the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), particularly the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).  

Anhui Hefei Urban Environment Improvement Project. The Project is a key environmental improvement and management initiative of the Hefei municipal government (HMG) to meet national environmental guidelines and ensure Hefei's sustainable growth. The Project will bring tangible benefits to the environment of Hefei, the capital of Anhui province, by (i) enhancing the quality of its water resources, (ii) strengthening the wastewater treatment facilities and sewer networks, (iii) reducing the incidence and damage of flooding in three rivers and Chao Lake, and (iv) improving the urban air quality and reducing road accidents and vehicular emissions through a more efficient city road network and integrated transport management operations in a model development zone. The Project also will provide institutional capacity-building measures in urban environmental management and policy reforms to ensure sustainability of the Project and related facilities.

The Project has three components: (i) wastewater and waste management, (ii) river rehabilitation and flood control improvement, and (iii) improved road infrastructure and traffic management in the Xinzhan zone (this was cancelled in July 2009). The Project also provides for institutional capacity building for project management and operation. The Project supports the Government's 11th Five-Year Program (2006-2010) to improve the living conditions and health in the cities of the PRC, and to promote their sustainable economic development. It is classified as a targeted intervention because it will contribute to achieving Millennium Development Goal 7, Target 10, which calls for halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. The Project is consistent with ADB's water policy and Urban Sector Strategy.  

Shaanxi Qinling Biodiversity Conservation and Demonstration Project. The Qinling Mountains are an internationally important biodiversity hot spot and represent about 70% of the PRC's biodiversity, including an estimated 300 giant pandas. The Qinling Mountains are central to soil and water management of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers. The Project will improve biodiversity conservation and management by restoring forest habitat, improving endangered species management and providing sustainable livelihoods for the population of the project area, and demonstrating the benefits to the rest of the Qinling Mountains and other similar areas in the PRC. The Project will provide significant environmental, economic, and social benefitsthroughout the project area. It will address underlying causes and effects of historical and contemporary resource degradation.

The project area is 458 square kilometers (km2), about 45 kilometers southwest of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi, and is identified as the birthplace of the Taoist religion. The project area is divided into a plains area for ecotourism and agriculture development, and a mountainous area for biodiversity conservation. It is home to about 20,400 people. The plains have about 15,800 residents (77% of the total) who live on about 58 km2 (13% of the total project area) bordering the northern end of the project area. The poverty incidence is about 23%. This area also includes the township of Louguantai  several Taoist temples  the Qinling National Botanical Garden (QNBG) and nursery  the Shaanxi Animal Rescue Center (SARC), which includes threatened species of giant panda, golden monkey, golden takin, and crested ibis  and the Louguantai Forest Farm. About 71 million tourists visit Shaanxi province annually, of which about 400,000 visit the project area and about 1 million visit the Qinling Mountains. The larger but scarcely populated mountainous area is called the Qinling Biological Conservation and Demonstration Area (QBCDA), where the management objective is low-impact development that supports the conservation of biodiversity and provides sustainable livelihoods for about 4,600 residents (23% of total) on about 400 km2 (87% of project area).       

The Project will produce three primary outputs: (i) participatory biodiversity management in the mountainous area, (ii) enhancement of biodiversity conservation in the plains area, and (iii) improved project management. Using sustainable financing mechanisms for biodiversity conservation, the habitat of the mountainous area, QBCDA, will be improved to promote mixed forest coverage, and flora and fauna species expansion. The small population lives in scattered settlements in QBCDA and will be encouraged to support biodiversity conservation objectives and minimize unsustainable farming and other activities.    

The Project will develop biodiversity-based attractions that will generate funds for the management and enhancement of QBCDA. The commercial activities will involve a botanical garden, wildlife breeding and research (including a giant panda center second only to Sichuan province's Wolong Nature Reserve), and related ecotourism. QNBG will address a major weakness of the many past biodiversity projects by ensuring sustainable financing using part of the ecotourism revenue.

Yunnan Sustainable Road Maintenance (Sector) Project. Yunnan  is a poor, densely populated province with a population of 46 million.  Because it is landlocked and mountainous,trade with other provinces and foreign countries involves transportation over long distances, whcih makes its products less competitive.  These are still large pockets of poverty because of inadequate road access, limited land availability for agriculture, and cultural barreirsto out-migration.  In 2011, 27% of Yunnan's rural population was considered poor, using the PRC's official poverty line of CNY2,300 per year.
Yunnan is strategically located along the PRC border with Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, and Viet Nam.  About 60% of freight and 80% of passengers travel by road. The Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB), under the Yunnan Provincial Department of Transport (YPDOT), manages a trunk road network of 24,089 km, which includes 45% of the province's paved roads.  These roads form part of or connect with the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Northern Economic Corridor and North-South Economic Corridors. 
The project will improve the sustainability of Yunnan's trunk road network.  It will (i) rehabilitate about 890 km of trunk roads, (ii) introduce performance-based road maintenance on a pilot bais on 164 km of trunk roads, (iii) set up a road asset management system, and (iv) implement an institutional development plan.  

Hunan Xiangjiang Inland Waterway Transport Project. Hunan is a land-locked province located in central PRC. It has a population of 68.4 million. It is one of the six central provinces supported by Government's Central Region Development Strategy. Hunan is rich in navigable waterway resources. It has the third longest provincial IWT network in the PRC, with over 11,495 km of waterways, 107 ports and 1,880 berths. However, only 5% of the waterway and berths can accommodate vessels of up to 1,000 tons carrying capacity. Historically, IWT used to be the most important transport mode in the province. By 2009 it was carrying 10% of total freight ton-km, reflecting past low public investment in IWT compared to other modes. In 2009 the total IWT investment was CNY551 million, about 1% of total road investment.

The Xiang River (Xiangjiang)  is one of the largest tributaries of the Yangtze  and the largest river in the province. Originating in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, it is 969 km long, with 773 km in Hunan before it flows into the Yangtze River (Map). The Xiang waterway network runs from south to north, via the Yangtze River,  connecting six of Hunan's cities  and major concentrations of population with the PRC's east coast seaports. Habitation and industry in Hunan is oriented along the river valleys. There is a great potential for further development of Xiang waterway to support transport of minerals and agricultural products from their sources inland to the major markets on the eastern seaboard, including by inland shipping services linking the Yangtze and Xiang rivers.

With the encouragement from the MOT's vessel standardization programs, the average vessel capacity in Hunan has increased from 213 deadweight tons (dwt) in 2005 to 318 dwt in 2010. The largest vessel in operation at present is 5,600 dwt. Traffic on the Xiang waterway has grown at 21% per annum since 2000.  However, these increases in vessel size and traffic have taken place in the downstream part of Xiang River and the areas close to the Yangtze River. The middle and upper reaches currently have limited water depth and long rocky shoals prevent safe year-round access by large vessels.  Further growth is also constrained by obsolete and insufficient port infrastructure and landing facilities. These bottlenecks restrict the utilization of the middle and upper streams of the Xiang River, and increase the transport cost and voyage time, which reduce the competiveness of the waterway compared with other modes of transport. Removal of these bottlenecks is a priority.  

Guizhou Gui'an New District New Urbanization Smart Transport System Development Project. The proposed project will support Gui'an New District (Gui'an) in developing an Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and sustainable transport infrastructure. This will make public transport more enticing for all, averting congestion as Gui'an grows and improving quality of life for all.

It will (i) assist 19 selected project agribusiness companies and cooperatives (PACs)—which are producers and traders of selected local specialty agricultural products in 17 counties within the province, including 10 poverty counties—to increase and strengthen their operations and value chains  (ii) engage 10 of these PACs in demonstrating inclusive business practices  and (iii) help the SPG design and pilot an LIBM to promote IGOs.  

PRC: LOAN PROGRAM FOR CLEAN BUS LEASING - FAR EAST HORIZON LIMITED. PRC: LOAN PROGRAM FOR CLEAN BUS LEASING - FAR EAST HORIZON LIMITED. To finance the leasing of clean buses.  

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Industrial Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Project. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in economic development, as they are key drivers of income and employment growth. On the other hand, SMEs are becoming major polluters, and are associated with severe environmental impact in some industrial areas. Industrial wastewater is difficult to treat due to high pollutant concentration, complex chemical composition, and high variance in water quantity and quality. Most SMEs do not have sufficient treatment capability and tend to dump untreated wastewater into waterways or sewers at volumes that often exceed the capacity of municipal wastewater treatment facilities. An additional challenge arises from sludge, which has serious impact on soil and groundwater quality.

The proposed project will support CT Environmental Group Limited (CTEG) to build, own, and operate a series of specialized SME industrial wastewater and sludge treatment plants in the designated areas determined by the local governments. CTEG's facilities will target SMEs in highly polluting industrial sectors, such as textile, paper, chemical, and food processing. Treated wastewater will be discharged according to national environmental standards or supplied to industry for reuse in manufacturing.  

Inner Mongolia Road Development Project. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) is the third largest administrative region of the PRC in terms of land area and is well endowed with natural resources.  As a result of mining, IMAR's economy has been growing rapidly, with gross domestic product increasing at 18% per annum from 2003 to 2011. The proposed project is located in Hulunbeier, one of the fast growing areas of IMAR.  Hulunbeier is a vast area of 253,000 square kilometers  which is very sparsely populated (fewer than 4 million inhabitants).  It borders PRC's Heilongjiang province, the Russian Fedeatin, and Mongolia.  Its economy depends heavily on resource extraction industries (coal, oil, and various minerals), animal husbandry, trade with the Russian Federation and to a lesser extent Mongolia, and a developing tourism industry.

3. The Project also improved access to the import/export market for agricultural produce through the provision of cold chain handling, storage, and inspection services.  

Jilin Yanji Low-Carbon Climate-Resilient Healthy City Project. The project is located in Yanji city, which faces challenges of poor urban livability and traffic management, exposure to climate-related flood risk, and risks to water security and safety. The project will provide multiple cross-benefits from an integrated solution provided to improve the urban livability of a medium-sized city, which is timely and essential to lessen the migration to the coastal mega-urban regions and to provide a demonstration project for replication in the PRC. It will contribute to (i) regional public goods of health and improved air and water quality, and (ii) revitalizing the economically challenged northeast area of the PRC.

The project will support the first bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor in the northeast of the PRC and transform Yanji's urban geography. This will reinforce the east-west linear city arrangement through connecting key areas following principles of transit-oriented development (TOD) with higher density mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly center areas around the BRT stations. It will integrate nonmotorized transport (NMT) lanes and facilities along the corridor, and a series of small roads and river greenways will be provided to ensure safe and pleasant pedestrian and bicycle access to the BRT stations while promoting low-carbon urban mobility and physical activities that enhance public health. The project-supported greenways are designed as "sponge city" green infrastructure, enhancing climate resilience and urban livability. The project will improve the water supply and wastewater management systems to ensure safe and climate-resilient access to water supply and improved water quality. Capacity development will contribute to the preparation of action plans to demonstrate Yanji as a low-carbon, climate-resilient, and healthy city, contributing to the implementation of the Healthy China 2030 program,  and lessons and knowledge will be shared with other developing member countries.  

Fujian Farmland Sustainable Utilization and Demonstration Project. Fujian Province is on the southeast coast of mainland People's Republic of China (PRC) with a population of 37.5 million, of which 40.0% lives in the rural area. Despite its remarkable economic growth driven by urban development on the coastal area, Fujian's rural economy is predominantly agrarian and agriculture remains the means for livelihood for many rural households. Though its importance is declining, Fujian's agriculture still generates 22.7% of the provincial gross domestic product and 25.0% of the provincial employment. The rapid urbanization caused a decrease in the provincial arable land, 1.26 million ha in 1996 to 1.12 million ha in 2010, which is a serious threat for Fujian's agriculture development.  

Gansu Internet-Plus Agriculture Development Project. The project will promote social and economic inclusion and sustainable livelihoods of poor people and vulnerable groups by providing an agriculture service system, information technology for value chains, and information support to areas where rural poverty is still endemic.

The project will include design features to ensure that farmers have access to high-value e-commerce markets and thereby increase their income.  

Climate-Resilient and Smart Urban Water Infrastructure Project. The proposed project will support SZWG's investment in (i) climate- and disaster-resilient urban water infrastructure and (ii) water supply and wastewater treatment facilities with smart water technologies in Shenzhen and third- and fourth-tier cities in the PRC.  

Heilongjiang Green Urban and Economic Revitalization Project (Additional Financing). The current project was approved on 5 December 2017 and declared effective on 4 September 2018. It is performing well and meets all criteria to be eligible for additional financing because (i) it is rated on track under the project performance system  (ii) each safeguard covenant is being complied with  (iii) the delivery of expected outputs is rated successful given that the initial actions such as advanced contracting and retroactive financing, disbursement of an initial advance to the advance account, subsequent liquidation and replenishment, and the preparation of the detailed engineering design and bidding documents are progressing as planned  and (iv) the management of risks is rated successful since all the risks in the Risk Assessment and Risk Management Plan were managed successfully.

The government requested ADB to provide additional financing to cover the financing gap that emerged when originally planned cofinancing by the European Investment Bank (EIB) did not materialize despite EIB's earlier indication of interest. The proposed additional financing was included as a 2019 firm project for $150 million (EURO133.929 million equivalent) from ADB's ordinary capital resources in the country operations business plan for the PRC, 2019-2021 to help finance outputs 3, 4, and 5. The project remains consistent with the country partnership strategy, 2016-2020 for the PRC, and additional financing is essential to fully deliver the outputs and outcome.  

Shaanxi Weinan Luyang Integrated Saline Land Management Project. Located in the east of Guanzhong Plain, Weinan City is part of the Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone, which was approved by the State Council in 2009 to strengthen the development of the western region. In line with the goals of the Guanzhong-Tianshui Economic Zone, including that the gross domestic product (GDP) output reaches one-third of the western region by 2020, the Weinan City Government has prepared a long-term development plan (2007-2025) for the Luyanghu area to improve local livelihoods and environment, attract high-tech industrial investment, promote local tourism, and create job opportunities. The Weinan City Government established the Weinan Luyanghu Construction Development Co. Ltd. (WLCDC) to take charge of the planning and infrastructure improvement of the area.

The Luyanghu area has been barren for decades, mainly due to the long-term problems of saline and alkaline soils, high groundwater tables, and a poor drainage system. Luyanghu is a low-lying waterlogged area, with a watershed of 1,123 square kilometers (km2) across Fuping and Puchen counties. The lake was formed more than 10,000 years ago, and was gradually silted because of dry weather and agricultural activities. The water further receded gradually after a devastated earthquake in 17th century. Currently, only two shallow mud flats are left in Luyanghu area, namely Luboa Tan and Neifu Tan. The groundwater table in Luyanghu area is around 0-3 meters below ground surface. Salt and mineral contents in the groundwater and soils have become very high, which make agricultural activities almost impossible. Local people grow limited cotton and corn crops, with productivities only half of those in Weinan area. 

To remove salts from the soil and improve agricultural productivity in Luyanghu area, the government established the Luoxi desalination drainage system in 1974, which consists of four main desalination drainage canals, i.e., main, west, central, and east canals  and associate minor drainage ditches. The desalination drainage system serves an area of about 418 km2. The original design of the desalination system was of low quality partly due to insufficient investment. Because of the lack of maintenance and management, the system has silted and fails to remove salts to the expected extent. The soil salinity is still high, and agricultural activities are still limited.

Luyanghu area is one of the national poverty areas, with about 32,400 villagers. Most of them were mainly immigrants from Henan and Shandong provinces. More than 90% of the villagers are impoverished. Their 2006 average per capita income was only CNY1,480, which is CNY780 lower than the Shaanxi provincial average. Because of the flat topography and poor flood management system in the area, flooding is common during rainy season. The heavy storm in August 2003 is a case in point that caused heavy casualties and stranded thousands of villagers for days. International development organizations, such as the Department for International Development of the United Kingdom, the Government of Finland, and the World Bank have provided financial support in improving irrigation infrastructure and rural livelihoods in the area.  ADB has also been providing investment and technical assistance in the region to help improve land degradation, biodiversity recovery, environmental quality, and transport.  ADB has also worked with the Global Environment Facility to disseminate best practices for salinization control in dryland.  To help the government develop the western region and improve livelihoods in Luyanghu area, the proposed project will (i) rehabilitate the Luoxi desalination drainage system to remove salts from the soils, (ii) improve flood storage capacity of Luyanghu area to reduce flood risks to local people, and (iii) rehabilitate local wetland environment.  

Eastern Sichuan Roads Development Project.

Hebei Small Cities and Towns Development Demonstration Sector Project. The impact of the Project is sustained socioeconomic growth and improved health and living conditions in small cities and towns in Hebei province. The outocme of the Project is improved infrastructure, environmental protection, and employment generation in small cities and towns in Hebei province.

The proposed Project focuses on supporting sustainable urban development and consist of a number of sector interventions primarily targeted to support industrial development, tourism, job creation, and environmental protection. The main sectors are water and wastewater, solid waste management, upgrading and greening of rivers, and district heating.  The subsectors involve (i) increases in the capacity to supply  potable water and coverage of distribution networks, and provision of sewerage systems with associated wastewater treatment facilities  (ii) river and lake improvement works to reduce the risk of seasonal flooding and increase the capacity to impound water for industrial, irrigation,  and other uses  (iii) provision of modern solid waste collection equipment, development of engineered waste disposal sites, and strengthening of operational management  and (iv) provision of centralized heating plants and the associated heat distribution networks.

Detailed component proposals that fully support the planning strategy and sector goals are being developed for the first group of cities and towns in each province. 

The Project will seek to develop approaches and solutions to problems that can be replicated in urban centers throughout the province and may be used to demonstrate to other provinces across the PRC how to formulate planning strategies and implement programs in support of structured development of small cities and towns.  

PRC: Natural Gas for Land and River Transportation Project. Air pollution continues to be a major environmental challenge in the PRC. Less than 1% of the 500 main cities in the PRC meet the air quality standards recommended by the World Health Organization.  Although industrial emissions have stabilized in the past few years, a rapid increase in vehicular traffic volumes has created a new threat in the form of vehicle and vessel emissions. This factor, as well as the technological developments inspired by successful cases in Europe, has created renewed interest in the application of both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the transport sector, since heavily polluting fuels such as diesel can be replaced with natural gas, which produces no particulate matter, 25% less carbon dioxide, less than one-third as much nitrogen oxides, and 99% less sulfur dioxide than conventional fuel.

CNG is suitable for short-distance inner-city transportation and, therefore, can be used by cars, taxis, and buses. LNG has superior energy density and is more appropriate for long-distance transportation, such as long-distance trucking.  Furthermore, there is untapped potential for further greening transportation using LNG for inland waterway transport (IWT). The PRC has the world's largest IWT network, both in terms of length and freight volume. 

The proposed project is designed to facilitate the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel by building CNG and LNG refueling stations along long-distance land transportation corridors and IWT networks in the PRC that cross municipal and provincial boundaries. With the proposed facility, CGH plans to build and operate subprojects of 600 CNG and 200 LNG filling stations for land-based vehicle use and another 20 LNG filling stations for IWT vessel use during 2015-2018.  

AGRICULTURAL AND MUNICIPAL WASTE TO ENERGY PROJECT. The project objectives are to successfully implement Waste to Energy (WTE) projects and to apply the use of clean, reliable, and safe Municipal Solid Waste(MSW) treatment in secondary cities in the PRC, where WTE infrastructure is lacking and demand is not fully met. Specifically, this project is to

(i) support a series of medium-sized WTE plants using clean technologies built through PPPs, (ii) introduce state-of-the-art technologies  (iii) address environmental problems by replacing landfills  (iv) enabl ADB to fund multiple municipal WTE projects otherwise difficult to assist

directly  and (v) reduce greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating methane gas emissions from landfills and replacing the use of fossil fuels for power generation.

ecosystems, and basic social services in the five IMAR border crossing point (BCP) communities
and surrounding areas on both sides of the 3,200-kilometer (km) PRC–Mongolia frontier, which
lags in economic and social development. Expanded financial and business support to small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in border regions will spur local income growth. Establishment
of an agricultural value chain will enhance livelihoods on both sides of the frontier. The program
will have strong regional spillover benefits to Mongolia: improvement in infrastructure and services
at IMAR–Mongolia BCPs will boost the volume and quality of trade, creating about 3,300 direct
and indirect jobs in Mongolia  and improvement in health and other services will benefit
disadvantaged communities on both sides of the border.  

COVID-19: Emergency Response Project. ADB will provide a 2-year loan to Jointown to support short-term financing needs,  which  will  help  the  company  to  manage  its  inventory.  Increase  in  short-term  funding facilities  is  crucial  if  Jointown  is to  cater  to  the  increased  demand  while  maintaining  service delivery  standards.  The  company  has  committed  to  protecting  the  supply  of  medical  goods, ensuring quality, and continuing service during the outbreak.

With its 75,000 square meter distribution warehouse in Wuhan city, the single largest pharmaceutical distribution center in the PRC, Jointown is uniquely placed to meet the demands of addressing the outbreak at its epicenter. In addition to its headquarters operations in Wuhan, Jointown is playing a crucial role in addressing the epidemic in the most affected provinces of the PRC, including Guangdong, Henan, and Hunan.  

The  COVID-19  outbreak  has  also  overwhelmed  the  operations  of  humanitarian organizations such as the Red Cross. Given Jointown’s sophisticated warehouse and inventory management systems, it has been asked by the local government to manage the warehouses of the Wuhan Branch and the Hubei Branch of the Red Cross Society of China to classify, store, and manage inventory of donated products. Service standards have since vastly improved, and Jointown will likely be requested to manage emergency storages in other affected provinces.

The project's focus on logistics development is in line with the Sustainable Transport Initiative of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which highlights logistics improvements as an important opportunity for sustainable transport operations.  The project also draws on the recommendations of the previous ADB study on logistics development in the PRC.  

Hubei Huanggang Urban Environment Improvement Project. The project aims to promote environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive urbanization in Huanggang, Hubei Province by improving the urban environment. The project will improve the lakes and rivers' water quality, flood-retention capacity, and aesthetic value contributing to economic prosperity and enhanced livability in the lakeside urban areaemployment opportunities.

Huanggang is located on the north bank of the middle reach of the Yangtze River in eastern Hubei Province, 78 kilometers (km) from the provincial capital, Wuhan.  Building on a rural-based economy, Huanggang is one of the poorest municipalities in the province and has a relatively low urbanization rate of 35.7%.  The Huanggang municipal government (HMG) in its Twelfth Five-Year Plan, 2011-2015 targets to transform its economic structure and facilitate urbanization with expanded secondary and tertiary industries. Huanggang is well positioned to take advantage of national and regional development plans due to its proximity to Wuhan  good connectivity with neighboring cities and provinces  and rich historic, cultural, and human resources.  Huanggang has the potential to play a strategic role in facilitating socioeconomic development in the central region of the PRC. This is envisaged under the national plan.  Furthermore, Huanggang is part of the Wuhan 1+8 megacity cluster, which the PRC government endorsed as a pilot for balanced regional development in the province.

Huanggang is on a floodplain, with many lakes and rivers. Protecting the water environment and controlling water pollution in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the largest of the seven river basins in the PRC and also the source of a high amount of wastewater, is a key government strategy. One of the urban development constraints of Huanggang is the deteriorating water quality in lakes and rivers, which are silted and blocked with polluted sediments, hindering natural hydraulic circulation, further degrading the water environment and ecology, weakening resilience to floods and droughts, and adversely affecting public health and safety. Huanggang's three major urban lakes - Baitan, Chiye, and Yiai - are severely polluted with organic matter and nutrients. Much of the surface water quality is currently measured as class V or worse. Realizing the importance of improving water quality for the city's sustainable development, HMG has made plans and increased investments to control pollution at the source and to improve the environment. To date, HMG investment has focused on improving water quality in Yiai Lake in the existing urban area, leaving other lakes and rivers unattended.

Limited urban space also constrains the development potential of Huanggang. The existing central urban area in Huangzhou District is dense and inadequate for increasing economic activities.  Limited urban space and inadequate urban infrastructure has slowed economic development and delayed the urbanization process, resulting in Huanggang becoming sidelined from mainstream developments in the province. To address this constraint, the approved Huanggang Municipal Urban Master Plan, 20122030 provides for eastward urban expansion by developing the New Eastern District (NED) with adequate urban space, infrastructure, and services  and an environment-friendly and socioeconomically inclusive setting to support sustainable urban development and rural-urban transition.

Baitan and Chiye lakes and seven associated rivers are in the center of NED, where HMG's pollution control interventions have not yet reached. Nutrient-laden sediments from agricultural and fish farming have reached levels that affect the lakes' water quality and hydraulic retention capacity. The seven rivers are blocked due to sediments from erosion of unlined banks reducing their drainage capacity. The increased urban development will create more impervious surfaces, resulting in an increase in surface water runoff.  HMG is currently improving point source pollution control in NED.  The project will complement these interventions, focusing primarily on nonpoint source pollution control. It will adopt an integrated approach to water quality and retention capacity enhancements of the lakes and associated rivers by removing contaminated sediments, constructing wetlands, stabilizing lakes and rivers embankments, and improving hydraulic recirculation. As a result, water quality of Baitan and Chiye lakes will improve from class V to class IV, flood protection will increase, and the lakeside aesthetic and amenity value and health benefit will significantly rise.

As part of the project's capacity development component, a water quality monitoring and forecasting system for the upstream Xingfu River catchment and Baitan and Chiye lakes will be developed and used by the Huanggang environment protection authorities for systematic and continuing water quality management. The system, which will be based on the hydraulic and water quality model developed during project preparation, has great replication potential. It can be disseminated as a good practice in sustainable pollution control and ecological preservation applicable to polluted and blocked urban lakes in small and medium-sized cities along the Yangtze River, and elsewhere in the PRC  

Shandong Spring City Green Modern Trolley Bus Demonstration Project.

Qingdao Water Resources and Wetland Protection. Most of the water management problems in the People's Republic of China (PRC), particularly for coastal cities, are the result of a fragmented approach to development. There is a need to move towards a more integrated management approach whereby the different tasks associated with water management (water supply, wastewater management, drainage) and ecosystem rehabilitation are managed together in close coordination with land use planning, coastal zone management and water resource management, and pollution control at the river basin level.  To reduce pollution in the country's coastal waters and sustain ecosystems, a number of specific actions are needed, including (i) adopting a holistic approach to water management in river basins and coastal zones, (ii) reducing land-based pollution sources particularly industrial and urban point sources, and (iii) continuing institutional and financial management reforms to facilitate sustainable environment management.  

Demonstration of Guangxi Elderly Care and Healthcare Integration and Public-Provtae Partnership Project.

Air Quality Improvement in the Greater Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region--Henan Cleaner Fuel Switch Investment Program. The proposed program aims to switch coal to cleaner fuel for residential, commercial, and industrial use for air pollution reduction in Henan Province, which is one of major pollutant provinces in the greater BTH Region. Henan Province has the largest population in PRC. In 2018, the primary energy is highly dependent upon coal which accounts for around 77.6% as compared to 59.0% in the national average. While Henan Province has reduced the dependence on coal from 84.3% in 2010, the province becomes one of the major contributors of air pollution in the greater BTH region. Henan Province records it air pollutant emissions in terms of PM2.5 (62 ug/m3), particulate matter less than 10 micrometer in diameter (PM10) (106 ug/m3), SO2 (21 ug/m3), and NOx (41 ug/m3), all of which are far above the national air quality category I standard, and of the World Health Organization standard.  Since the air pollution is largely sourced from coal burning, the medium and long-term energy development plan in Henan province (2012-2030) was issued in 2012 to accelerate renewable energy penetration into the grid, enhance energy efficiency, and expand natural gas supply network. In 2018, the provincial government also issued the Three Year Action Plan for Henan Province to Combat Blue Sky War (2018-2020), which targeted to (i) reduce PM2.5 to 58 ug/m3 by 2020, and (ii) achieve 35 ug/m3 of national air quality category II standard by 2023. There are wide-ranging actions, which primarily focus on reduction of coal consumption, demolition of energy inefficient coal fired boilers, expansion of cleaner district heating systems, and promotion of gas or the other cleaner energy use.  

Hunan Roads Development III. The Project will help promote sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction in Hunan province and the project area.  It will achieve this by (i) enhancing road transport efficiency and safety  (ii) providing a link in the Changsha-Chongqing corridor, one of eight high-priority western corridors  and (iii) improving rural minority villages' access to income-generating opportunities and social services.  The Project involves (i) constructing a 64 km, access-controlled toll expressway from Jishou to Chadong, (ii) upgrading 129 km of local roads to improve access to 52 poor villages in the rural minority area, (iii) promoting private sector participation through an operation and maintenance concession, and (iv) strengthening the Hunan provincial government's capacity of construction, road safety, project monitoring and evaluation, and asset management and maintenance by means of consulting services and training.  

INNER MONGOLIA WIND POWER PROJECT. The Project will promote sustainable growth and environmental improvement in PRC through contributions toward achieving minimum share targets for renewable energy in the generation mix and for wind power generation in particular. The Project will also mitigate significant amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the energy security of the country by developing indigenous energy sources. By supporting a collaboration between one of the established big-five local power companies and foreign strategic investors with expertise in wind, the Project features a strong model to enhance private sector participation in wind power generation, which is at an early stage and which is crucial for the further development of the sector, and thus will encourage the private sector to invest in wind power projects beyond the Project's interventions. The Project will help Inner Mongolia's economic growth and energy diversification in an environmentally sustainable manner. Finally, by providing long-term CNY financing, the loan will provide the best possible financing solution for the Project under the current market circumstances that would not be available without ADB's participation.  

Shaanxi Xi’an Preschool Education Development Program. As the People's Republic of China (PRC) transitions from a middle-income, manufacturing-based economy to a high-income innovation economy, investing in the human capital of its future labor force is key. As the first step in lifelong learning, investment in early childhood education (ECE) pays off for society, delivering significant social and economic benefits that include increased labor productivity and reduced inequality. Evidence confirms that participation in ECE is associated with additional years of schooling, a key indicator of human capital, and results from the PRC were higher than the pooled average of 12 countries. The government has made significant efforts to ramp up support at this important level. Under a series of national ECE action plans, the PRC's gross enrollment ratio (GER) for 3-year ECE increased by 23 percentage points from 56.6% in 2010 to 79.6% in 2017, but the country has yet to attain the near-universal enrollment (over 90%) achieved in neighboring countries Japan and the Republic of Korea, and in many Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The government recognizes that promoting equitable access to high quality ECE is an effective strategy for inclusive development, and has set ambitious national targets that include, by 2020, a GER of 85% for 3-year ECE for children aged 3?6 years, and a coverage rate of "public-interest kindergartens" ?comprising public kindergartens plus affordable privately-owned kindergartens?of at least 80% of enrolled children.

Located in Shaanxi province, the rapidly growing city of Xi'an is facing a major shortage of affordable kindergarten places, which threatens to widen existing gaps in access and perpetuate inequality. Comprising 11 districts and two counties, Xi'an's increasing population is a result of both the 2016 two-child policy and the 2017 relaxation of household registration policies for migrants. The number of permanent residents grew from 8.8 million in 2016 to more than 10 million by the end of 2018, and is projected to exceed 11.4 million by 2025. Increasing privatization of ECE has led to a proliferation of private kindergartens that charge high fees, which creates cost barriers for low-income families. About 70,000 children attend informal child care centers with uneven quality. With several gaps in the provision of affordable high quality ECE, the Xi'an Municipal Government (XMG) has requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for a results-based lending (RBL) program based on the comprehensive Xi'an Preschool Education Development Plan, 2019?-2025. 

Xi'an has made notable progress in developing ECE especially over the past decade, including through a series of three 3-year ECE plans, a plan for quality improvement, and guidelines for managing privately-owned public-interest kindergartens. However, several critical challenges remain. The 2019?-2025 plan contains a sector analysis that diagnoses the key constraints, including (i) insufficient kindergarten seats to meet current and projected demand  (ii) a geographically imbalanced distribution of high quality public-interest kindergartens  (iii) a shortage of qualified ECE teachers and insufficient in-service training opportunities  and (iv) a need for better financing and cost-sharing mechanisms, regulation, and supervision of ECE, particularly for private kindergartens. A lack of innovation in the curriculum and in the delivery of ECE also affects kindergarten quality. The plan notes that in 2018, a total of 75% of Xi'an's 1,780 registered kindergartens were considered public-interest (36% were public). The Xi'an Education Bureau (XEB) assesses 38% of the existing kindergartens as class IV or V, meaning they do not meet the standards to be considered high quality (either class I, II, or III or designated as a Shaanxi provincial demonstration kindergarten). To address these challenges, the 2019?-2025 plan's intended results include accelerating development of ECE to benefit all while elevating quality and promoting balance.

Gender issues in ECE. The XEB forecasts a shortage of more than 118,000 kindergarten seats by 2025. Children's lack of access to kindergarten has an impact on both children's future learning outcomes and labor market productivity and on their mothers' ability to engage in the formal and informal labor force. A lack of sufficient kindergarten spaces increases women's unpaid care work and time poverty. The proposed RBL program aims at effective gender mainstreaming and will explore these and other gender issues in ECE during program preparation, including (i) boys' and girls' equal access to enrollment, (ii) gender-responsive and inclusive ECE curriculum, (iii) the low representation of men among preschool teachers, (iv) the involvement of fathers in parenting education, and (v) the issue of migrant workers' left-behind children, who are more likely to be girls.

Lessons from ADB country and sector engagement. ADB's education sector partnership with the PRC has evolved from smaller investment lending for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to larger RBL operations in both TVET and ECE. For example, an ongoing TVET project in Nanning, Guangxi is responding to the shortage of ECE teachers. A first ADB ECE lending operation is being developed in Shangrao, Jiangxi province and can provide lessons for the proposed program in Xi'an. Ongoing TVET RBL programs in Guizhou and Guangxi have confirmed the modality's suitability for sector programs that involve many stakeholders. Experience has also shown that RBL is particularly appropriate for large-scale systematic teacher training. Lessons include the need for (i) stakeholders to understand the nature of the program including deliverables for meeting the agreed targets and disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs), (ii) robust financial planning by the executing agency because disbursement is made based on achievement of DLIs, (iii) a strong monitoring mechanism, and (iv) close communication between ADB and the executing agency on progress monitoring towards DLI achievement.

Hubei Huanggang Dabie Mountain Ecosystem Protection and Carbon-Neutral Green Development Project. The Huanggang Municipal Government (HMG) implemented several major reforestation and ecosystem protection programs supported through national and provincial fiscal budget transfers, including the Grain to Green Program, the YRB protective forest system, and wildlife protection and nature reserve construction projects. From 2016 to 2020, a total of CNY2.1 billion in public investments greatly improved the forest habitat and people's livelihoods through job creation. However, the ecosystems remain constrained due to development and population pressure. The forest is degraded, with reduced quality of forest stands, increased soil erosion, and losses of biodiversity and natural habitat. The wetlands, consisting of a complex system of rivers, ponds, and lakes, continue to be degraded. Many of the natural waterbodies either became commercial fishponds or have been drained all together.Depending on the season, the water quality of about 25% to 100% of the tributaries of the Bailian River is equal to or below Class IV. Major sources of pollution are organic and nutrients from agriculture, aquaculture, and domestic sewage. Many villages and towns have inadequate or no wastewater treatment facilities, and women and girls suffer disproportionately from inadequate sanitation. Lakes and rivers are no longer connected aquatic systems, further degrading the water environment and ecology, and weakening resilience to floods and droughts.Agriculture is a major source of pollution in Huanggang. Seasonal flooding and soil erosion from agricultural lands result in excessive levels of nutrients, pesticides, and sediment entering water bodies. The agriculture sector was responsible for 114,694 tons of chemical oxygen demand, 65% of the municipal's total  11,964 tons of nitrogen, 58% of total  1,895 tons of phosphorus, 75% of total  and 9,960 tons of volatile organic compounds, 32% of total in Huanggang in 2019. Agriculture is also a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, producing 55,000 tons of methane from livestock and 77,000 tons from paddy rice cultivation, equivalent to 3.3 million tons of carbon dioxide.In 2021, agriculture contributed CNY89.8 billion, or 35.5% of the annual GDP of the municipality. However, agriculture is still dominated by traditional subsistence farming, often led by women, on small land plots with declining productivity. Low productivity can be attributed to (i) poor soil conditions  (ii) inefficient use of inputs and low adoption of technologies  (iii) inadequate road, irrigation, and drainage infrastructure  and (iv) inadequate agricultural extension services. Rural economic development needs both improved land productivity and enhanced value addition throughout the value chain. However, the value chain is hampered by (i) a lack of crop diversification  (ii) weak capacity of agribusinesses in branding and marketing  (iii) poor post-harvest facilities and services  and (iv) a lack of access to online markets. Nevertheless, with the new E'zhou airport being completed in the region, opportunities exist to enhance the agricultural product value chain in Huanggang.

Qinghai Haidong Urban-Rural Eco Development Project. Qinghai Province, situated mostly on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau in northwestern PRC, has long been home to a number of ethnic groups due to its location along the old Silk Road. Ethnically diverse and featuring a beautiful and rugged landscape with mountains and pastures, Qinghai is the source of the Mekong, Yangtze, and Yellow rivers, making it a socially and environmentally significant province for the PRC. Given the fragile terrain, Qinghai is promoting urbanization within a northeastern corridor linking its capital, Xining, to Lanzhou, in Gansu Province. While protecting its natural resources, Qinghai also aims to protect urban areas from natural hazards such as flash flooding, which has increased in cities across the PRC as a result of impermeable paved surfaces, deforestation, poor waterway management, and an overall decrease in natural water collection areas. 

Haidong, the second-largest city in Qinghai, is located within this corridor, immediately east of Xining. A city of 1.7 million residents (30.0% of Qinghai's total population of 5.7 million), Haidong upgraded to a prefecture-level city in 2013, denoting its importance in regional development. Haidong has two districts - Ping'an and Ledu - and four counties.  Both districts straddle the Huangshui River, an important tributary of the Yellow River.

It builds on and complements ADB's ongoing Upper Secondary Education Sector Development Program (USESDP 1).  The program will (i) improve teacher quality and boost the quality and labor market relevance of USE  and (ii) strengthen institutional capacity for USE planning, management, and delivery. While the policy reforms will apply nationwide, the project activities will cover only selected areas.  

Second Financial Sector Program Cluster (Subprogram 1). The  program  comprises  (i)  a  program  cluster  approach  for  the  Second  Financial  Sector  Program  Cluster  (FSP  II)  comprising  four subprograms for an aggregate amount not exceeding $40  million  equivalent   (ii)  a  program  loan  of  $10  million  equivalent  for subprogram 1, and (iii) a technical assistance (TA) grant for $1.7 million. The four subprograms will be implemented back-to-back with each  succeeding  subprogram  to  be  processed  sequentially  upon  completion of the preceding subprogram.  

Greater Mekong Subregion Flood and Drought Risk Management and Mitigation Project (Cambodia). The project will support the Government of Cambodia as it undertakes structural and nonstructural measures to prepare for and manage disaster risks linked to floods and droughts.  Project interventions will (i) enhance the regional data, information, and knowledge base for the management of floods and droughts  (ii) upgrade or develop water management infrastructure  and (iii) prepare communities to manage disasters such as floods and droughts, and adapt to climate change. Improved drought management and irrigation water structures in Cambodia will benefit farmers on about 16,000 hectares (ha) of agricultural lands, and at least 10,000 people will benefit from improved flood management.  

Expanding Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprise Lending Project. ADB supports the growth of PRASAC's financing portfolio for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), providing needed financial products and services to this underserved segment.  

Cambodia Solar Power Project. The Project involved the construction and operation of the first utility-scale solar power project in Cambodia with capacity of 10 MWp DC. The Project is located in Bavet City, Svay Rieng Province, near the border with Viet Nam. The Project went through an international competitive bidding process which sought public-private partnerships that were transparent, competitive, and provide a level playing field. The Project is therefore expected to unlock Cambodias underutilized renewable energy resources and set an important precedent in the renewable energy sector in the country. A consortium led by Sunseap, a leading solar developer from Singapore, won the bid with a highly competitive tariff which was lower than the estimated average electricity supply cost in Cambodia. Commercial operations started in October 2017.  

Energy Transition Sector Development Program (formerly Energy Efficiency Sector Development Program). Building on ADB’s assistance to Cambodia on climate change since 2011 and clean energy since 2016, the program will provide comprehensive support to the government’s energy transformation agenda, to (i) mainstream renewable energy and energy efficiency while transitioning away from fossil fuels, (ii) adopt data-driven regulation and planning for the power system to enhance flexibility and resilience, and (iii) anchor infrastructure investments on planning
with new technologies and business models as well as implementation through competitive procurement. The programmatic approach will enable sequenced actions to successively strengthen sector governance and the enabling environment, and to provide flexibility for learning and updates, in phases, in the dynamic context of recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID19) pandemic. The program’s combination of policy reforms and project investments will mutually reinforce each other and maximize ADB’s value addition. The policy actions enable and provide a platform for public and private sector investments in critical new technologies, such as energy efficiency and storage  set clean energy targets for the country  and integrate improved power development and energy use planning across sectors, including climate proofing critical infrastructure. The project investments will demonstrate new technologies in energy efficiency and storage including (i) the country’s first grid-connected energy storage system, which will enable additional renewable sources to enter the grid and improve grid stability for consumers  and (ii) comprehensive city-level efficient street-lighting systems in Kampot and Kep provinces, which will demonstrate cost savings and benefits for tourism and public safety. The project component will also improve capacities for new technology scale-up to kick-start new markets.  

COVID-19: Greater Mekong Subregion Health Security Project (Additional Financing). The additional financing will provide targeted investments for additional 8 provincial hospitals and 73 district referral hospitals not covered under the original project. It will focus upgrading of hospital clinical care, laboratory, IPC, and human resource capacity to respond to COVID-19 and other public health threats. The proposed project will strengthen surveillance, response, and risk communications capacity for COVID-19 and other epidemic prone diseases nation-wide. The additional financing will complement ADB support under the COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support (CARES) Program and the The Responsive COVID-19 Vaccines for Recovery (RECOVER) Project. The additional financing project remains aligned with the outcome of the original project: Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) health system performance with regard to health security improved.  

Rural Roads Improvement Project. The project will improve Cambodia's rural road network by paving 505.4 kilometers (km) of rural roads in seven provinces, most of which are located around Tonle Sap Basin. The project also aims to strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) to plan, manage, and monitor road maintenance operations by improving the sustainability of funding for road maintenance, increasing the participation and capacity of the private contracting industry, and strengthening provincial departments of rural development (PDRDs) as a means to support greater decentralization of road maintenance responsibilities. Furthermore, the project will help MRD establish an axle load control program for rural roads, design and manage a rural road safety program for the project provinces, and establish better implementation capacity for social safeguards within MRD. The project also supports initial work on road design and planning for climate change, and on emergency preparedness, mitigation, and response. The feasibility study for the project was prepared through an Asian Development Bank (ADB) technical assistance (TA) to the government.  

Education Sector Project II. The objective of the Project is to establish an equitable and effective education system that will enhance learning outcomes of young people for further study, work and adult life. The specific outcome will be enhanced quality of education by improving the curriculum, assessment system, learning materials, teaching practice and access to better learning environment. The Project has five components: (i) introducing curriculum reform and
assessment systems  (ii) developing effective teachers  (iii) improving access to quality education  (iv) strengthening capacity to undertake research, evaluation, policy analysis, and planning  and (v) strengthening capacity to implement and manage development projects. The Project is designed to establish a learning environment that provides all children with an equal opportunity to learn at a higher level, while increasing the cost-effectiveness of service provision. The Project will contribute to eliminating inequity by minimizing regional disparities in access to quality education, and promoting equitable learning outcomes. Improving access to quality primary and secondary education in poor communities is expected to reduce income deprivation and hardship.  

Fiscal Resilience Improvement Program, Subprogram 1. The policy-based program is designed to improve Samoa's macroeconomic stability and to strengthen the country's fiscal resilience. It supports the government's medium-term fiscal framework (MTFF) through the implementation of the joint policy action matrix (JPAM) on public financial management (PFM) policies and processes, developed by the Government of Samoa and its development partners.

The program is structured around four reform areas, including (i) reduction of fiscal drain through SOE reforms, (ii) improvement of procurement systems, (iii) improvement of debt management, and (iv) promotion of resilience to climate change and variability. Subprogram 1 has 10 policy actions while 7 policy actions are proposed for Subprogram 2. ADB will support Samoa through regional technical assistance (TA) projects for SOE reform and public sector management during the program. The ADB Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) TA will support a range of private sector reforms under way in Samoa that include assistance for developing a public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline.  PSDI will continue support for improving the business regulatory environment. Support for climate change adaptation and mitigation activities will be guided by the ADB climate change implementation plan.  All the outputs are fully aligned with the JPAM.  

Solar Power Development. The proposed financing of up to $3 million will expand an existing 2.2MW  solar farm that has been in operation since April 2015.  The existing facility was completed in December 2015. The project sponsor has already invested about $3.5 million for the construction of the existing solar farm that has generated approximately $1.7 million in revenues since starting operations. An independent power producer, Sun Pacific Energy Limited, is the owner and operator of the plant. The plant currently sells 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar power per year to EPC, the national utility company. With the proposed expansion, the energy yield is expected to increase up to 6 million kWh per year.  

Samoa AgriBusiness Support Project. The project will promote commercializing and exporting agricultural produce and processed products along agro-value chains to stimulate agriculture's role in economic growth and poverty reduction in Samoa. It will provide business support services and financing to agribusinesses.  

Land Transport Sector Development Project. The PRF will support (i) the preparation of a feasibility study including due diligence. Due diligence will cover technical, economic, financial, safeguards, gender, climate change, and integrity of the ensuing projects  (ii) the preparation of detailed engineering designs for civil works components, which will integrate any measures needed to (a) promote resilience to climate change and disasters triggered by natural hazards, (b) support gender equality outcomes including women's economic empowerment through improved access to markets and employment, improved access to services (e.g., healthcare, schools), reducing women's time poverty and ensuring safe and inclusive road networks. The project will also support the executing and implementing agencies in conducting strategic procurement planning and bidding process for advance procurement activities. 

The capacity of the executing and implementing agencies to prepare and implement the PRF and the ensuing projects will be strengthened with the establishment of a project management unit (PMU) within the Land Transport Authority (LTA). The PMU will enable the timely start-up and preparation of the ensuing projects and, through support from consultants, provide on-the-job training and knowledge transfer to the executing and implementing agencies, including exploring capacity development for gender-inclusive human resource policies, gender targets for capacity building, and other measures to enhance benefits for women and contribute to gender equality. The PRF will finance the establishment of the PMU.  

Tropical Cyclone Emergency Response Project. Tropical cyclone Evan significantly impacted Samoa from 13-14 December 2012 causing widespread destruction across both Upolu and Savai?i islands. On the main island of Upolu, flash flooding brought about extensive damage to the urban center and suburbs along the river banks. The southern and south eastern coastal areas of Upolu were flattened. The tropical cyclone claimed five lives in total with 12 persons reported missing.  At the height of the storm, 7,739 people (4% of the total population) took shelter in 34 evacuation centers and churches throughout the country. 

The Samoa National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) completed ground assessments for flood affected areas in and around Apia, the capital of Samoa, and for the east coast of Upolu Island. Following these initial assessments, the damage to homes was described as considerable, with 421 houses completely destroyed and 1,059 damaged (equivalent to 6.4% of households).  Seven schools were completely destroyed, nine have incurred major damage and 35 have sustained minor damages. The main water supply for Apia as well as for central and eastern districts was damaged. Power was restored to Government Buildings, the Apia Central Business District and other areas of Upolu Island. Initial assessments from the island of Savai?i described the damage to homes and infrastructure as minimal with much of the damage in these areas confined to plantations and forestry. 

A state of emergency for 30 days was proclaimed on 17 December 2012. Initial damage and needs assessments was undertaken indicating damages over $125 million (equivalent to 18% of the gross domestic product).  

Strengthening Macroeconomic Resilience Program (Subprogram 1). The program will help the Government of Samoa implement reforms to restore fiscally sustainable growth led by the private sector, which has been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The program will (i) strengthen macro-fiscal resilience through better planning, targeting of reforms, and management of state-owned enterprise financing and risks  (ii) support inclusive private sector growth through improved labor market protections, business regulation, and management of foreign investment  and (iii) enhance financial market development and financial inclusion through improved planning, regulation, and transparency.

The program will be financed through two policy-based grants of $7.5 million each, to be implemented during fiscal year (FY) 2023 and FY2024. The program builds on reforms supported by previous Asian Development Bank (ADB) programs and financial support provided for COVID-19 response.  The program was developed in collaboration with the World Bank and the governments of Australia and New Zealand, and in regular consultation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  

Samoa Submarine Cable Project. The proposed project will improve international broadband connectivity of Samoa. The proposed project focuses on building a submarine cable system (SCS) connecting Samoa to regional and global communications infrastructure.  

Road Network Improvement Project. The project aims to provide efficient transportation on the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Southern Economic Corridor (SEC), which passes through Cambodia, through the improvement of the national road sections in Prey Veng, Siem Reap, and Svay Rieng provinces of Cambodia that are unsafe and prone to flooding. The project will also (i) support the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) in road asset management by (a) strengthening its axle load control operation, (b) introducing a quality assurance system, and (c) improving road maintenance execution  and (ii) help project communities in improving their safety and health by implementing a gender-responsive community-based road safety program and an HIV/AIDS and human trafficking awareness and prevention program (HTAP).  

Energy Transition Sector Development Program, Subprogram 1. Building on ADB’s assistance to Cambodia on climate change since 2011 and clean energy since 2016, the program will provide comprehensive support to the government’s energy transformation agenda, to (i) mainstream renewable energy and energy efficiency while transitioning away from fossil fuels, (ii) adopt data-driven regulation and planning for the power system to enhance flexibility and resilience, and (iii) anchor infrastructure investments on planning with new technologies and business models as well as implementation through competitive procurement. The programmatic approach will enable sequenced actions to successively strengthen sector governance and the enabling environment, and to provide flexibility for learning and updates, in phases, in the dynamic context of recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID19) pandemic. The program’s combination of policy reforms and project investments will mutually reinforce each other and maximize ADB’s value addition. The policy actions enable and provide a platform for public and private sector investments in critical new technologies, such as energy efficiency and storage  set clean energy targets for the country  and integrate improved power development and energy use planning across sectors, including climate proofing critical infrastructure. The project investments will demonstrate new technologies in energy efficiency and storage including (i) the country’s first grid-connected energy storage system, which will enable additional renewable sources to enter the grid and improve grid stability for consumers  and (ii) comprehensive city-level efficient street-lighting systems in Kampot and Kep provinces, which will demonstrate cost savings and benefits for tourism and public safety. The project component will also improve capacities for new technology scale-up to kick-start new markets.  

Inclusive Financial Sector Development Program, Subprogram 1. Based on successful implementation of the past and ongoing ADB Financial Sector Programs (FSP I, II, and III),  with effective and flexible ways of converting complex policy objectives into implementable policy actions, the government requested continuing ADB support to the finance sector through a policy-based loan. 2 The proposed programmatic approach for a total of $30 million equivalent from the Asian Development Fund (ADF), which will comprise two subprograms, is included in the country operations business plan (COBP), 2013-2015. It will be designed within the framework of the Financial Sector Development Strategy (FSDS), 2011-2020 updated under the FSP III.  

Strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project. The Project will support the Government's strategies to reduce poverty and achieve socioeconomic development for all Cambodians. These include (i) promotion of vocational and skills training to ensure continuing improvement in national productivity  (ii) creation of jobs in the formal and nonformal sectors  (iii) an increase in agricultural productivity to create jobs in rural areas  and (iv) the establishment of technical vocational education and training (TVET) networks to assist both men and women, especially the poor, disabled and vulnerable, to respond to labor market needs. 

The Project will help ensure an expanded public TVET system that is endorsed by industry and is better aligned with the skills requirements of the formal and informal economies. The project will develop replicable models for transforming the system so it is more relevant to industry, focusing initially on three industry sectors: mechanics, construction, and business services and information and communication technologies (ICT). These models can be used as the basis for continued reform in other industry sectors.  

Skills for Competitiveness Project. The proposed project will enhance the skills and competitiveness of Cambodia's industrial sector labour force. It will develop human resources to work as skilled-workforce in four priority sectors, namely manufacturing, construction, electricity, and electronics. The project will help transform selected five technical training institutes (TTIs) into leading technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutes in Cambodia, to produce high quality technicians in the priority sectors and to respond to changing technology and industry needs. The project will also strengthen the industry's roles and engagement in skills development, focusing on upskilling and reskilling of the existing workers. Partnership agreements will be forged with industry and TTIs to promote work-based learning (WBL) programs and expand the Skills Development Fund (SDF) as an innovative TVET financing mechanism.  

Climate Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development Program. The Climate Resilient Rice Commercialization Sector Development Program (SDP) is proposed to support and accelerate the efficient and effective implementation of the Strategy on Agriculture and Water (SAW) and the Policy on the Promotion of Paddy Production and Rice Export (the Rice Policy). It will address food security and rice commercialization by prioritizing: (i) strengthening the rice value chain  (ii) improving the legal and regulatory framework in agricultural land management  (iii) improving access to credit by paddy producers and rice millers/exporters  and (iv) enhancing paddy production and productivity through improved irrigation water use efficiency, establishment of paddy post-harvesting facilities, and paddy crop insurance pilots. The SDP will (i) address major strategic thrusts of the 2011-2013 Country Partnership Strategy, and sector strategies and roadmap  and (ii) complement the on-going sector initiatives by emphasizing the commercialization aspects of rice.  

COVID-19: Rapid Response Program. The program aims to help finance the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the government's countercyclical policies which focus on preventing entry of the virus, supporting vulnerable groups, and economic stimulus.  

Economic Growth and Fiscal Reform Program. The program continues efforts of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support the Government of Solomon Islands in implementing an ongoing reform program in coordination with other development partners. The proposed program will support continued policy attention to reform, which has become increasingly essential following recent natural disasters, the closure of a large gold mine (an important source of government revenue), and the decline of logging output over the medium term.  

Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project. The project will implement
high priority components following the government’s water and sanitation sector plan to increase
access to piped water supply and sanitation service, especially among the poor households 
reduce reliance on groundwater and rainwater harvest and ensure more efficient use of water.
The project will also enhance hygiene awareness, promote water conservation and improve fecal
sludge management.  

Improved Fiscal Sustainability Reform Program. The proposed Improved Fiscal Sustainability Reform Program will help the Government of Solomon Islands implement policy and institutional reforms that improve public finances and investments, strengthen fiscal management and sustainability, and contribute to private sector development.  

Economic Recovery Support Program (Subprogram 1). The program will help realize the private sector's potential, and specifically the growth potential of the mining, agriculture, fishing, and tourism industries. Progress is being made toward reopening a large gold mine closed during past civil unrest, and there is a potential to develop large nickel deposits. The best prospects for creating jobs and generating
government revenue lie in large-scale palm oil developments, in fishing (there is already one large fish cannery), and in the smallholder tree crops of cocoa and copra. The supply of fruit and vegetables to the urban centers also offers good prospects, as does the fledgling tourism industry.

The ERSP is anchored in the Solomon Islands Medium Term Development Strategy 2008-2010, supporting sector plans, and the 2009 and 2010 budgets. The program design is aligned with a policy matrix prepared by the government to identify key fiscal measures and structural policy actions. A core economic working group was established by the
government, the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands and key development partners in March 2009. The group was central to the preparation of the government's policy matrix. Through the core economic working group, key development partners have committed to support implementation of the government's policy matrix.

The ESRP builds on the macroeconomic assessment prepared by the International Monetary Fund through its 2009 Article IV Consultation. The consultation concluded that new external assistance in the form of budget support can provide a cushion for undertaking more lasting fiscal adjustment and improving budget execution. The International
Monetary Fund estimated a budget financing gap for the medium term of $25 million per year (around 4% of gross domestic product). 

The ERSP has four output areas: (i) improved fiscal management, (ii) productivity enhancing structural initiatives, (iii) support for the vulnerable, and (iv) communication and ownership of policy actions. Subprograms 1 and 2 support the same four output areas, and these will be progressed concurrently under each subprogram.  

Domestic Maritime Support (Sector) Project. The impact of the project will be increased efficiency, safety, and reliability in the transport sector, contributing to economic growth with improved distribution of benefits.  

Second Road Improvement (Sector) Project. To make the national network of provincial and secondary roads more efficient and effective the Solomon Islands Second Road Improvement (Sector) Project will (i) replace or upgrade about 30 water crossings (bridges, culverts, and wet crossings), build about 20 kilometers (km) of roads and associated bridge approaches, and selectively relocate roads for climate change adaptation  (ii) maintain roads using labor-based, equipment supported (LBES) techniques under national private sector contracts involving local communities  and (iii) carry out project management, implementation supervision, and capacity development including a community education and awareness campaign. Climate change adaptation measures will be incorporated into the subproject designs.  

Senior Secondary Education Improvement Project. The report also describes the proposed administration of a grant to be provided by the Ireland Trust Fund for Building Climate Change and Disaster Resilience in Small Island Developing States for the Senior Secondary Education Improvement Project, and if the Board approves the proposed loan, I, acting under the authority delegated to me by the Board, approve the administration of the grant.The interconnection of climate change and poverty in Solomon Islands underscores the critical need to invest in adaptive and resilient human capital. Such investments reduce vulnerability and pave the way for a just and inclusive transition to a climate-resilient economy. The Government of Solomon Islands has requested assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to strengthen senior secondary education and build climate and disaster resilience. The project will help achieve this by reforming the curriculum for years 1012 to make it more practical and by equipping students with the necessary foundational skills for continuous learning and future employment, focusing on skills and jobs that foster resilience. It will update or construct facilities to climate-resilient standards at 10 schools and strengthen management. It will also address barriers and challenges that girls face by piloting innovative gender-transformative activities and implementing a leadership and management program for aspiring female educators.  

COVID-19: Rapid Response Program. The program will help finance the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the government's countercyclical policies which focus on preventing entry of the virus, supporting vulnerable groups, and economic stimulus. This budget support operation is using the COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option modality.  

Supporting Fiscal and Economic Recovery Program (Subprogram 1). The Supporting Fiscal and Economic Recovery Program will help the Government of Solomon Islands implement reforms to support a resilient economic and fiscal recovery from the contraction caused by the coronavirus disease pandemic. The proposed program comprises two subprograms to promote (i) tax reform for domestic revenue mobilization, (ii) public financial management for fiscal resilience, and (iii) an enabling environment for private sector recovery.  

Transport Sector Development Project. The project will improve access to socioeconomic opportunities by rehabilitating and maintaining land, sea, and air transport infrastructure.  Solomon Islands has been offered significant parallel grant cofinancing from the governments of Australia and New Zealand but has insufficient capacity to plan and implement the necessary civil works. The project will therefore strengthen transport sector institutions by establishing a central project implementation unit (CPIU) to reform the government's institutional structure, implement civil works, and conduct technical and managerial capacity development. In doing so, the project will prepare an environment for a comprehensive transport sector-based approach based on long-term partnerships, sector coordination, and reliance on government systems. Through close cooperation with other development partners, the project will support the government in efficiently implementing all externally funded assistance to the transport sector.  

Land and Maritime Connectivity Project Tranche 1. The entire project scope will be covered under Tranche 1. Tranche 1 will finance the first slice of the works contract packages and consulting services. 

The project is to rehabilitate or upgrade about 35 kilometers of urban and rural roads in Honiara and the surrounding regions in Guadalcanal Province, construct two rural wharves, and reconstruct and strengthen an old wharf in Honiara port. The objective is to improve connectivity, efficiency, and disaster resilience of the transportation network in Solomon Islands. The east-west Guadalcanal road corridor is in deteriorating condition, critical urban road sections have capacity constraints leading to traffic congestion, and inadequate maritime facilities aggravate efficiency of shipping services. The proposed project will provide road and maritime infrastructure, ensuring access to basic services, increase income generating opportunities, and promote social cohesiveness.  

Technical Assistance Grant: Transport Sector Project Development Facility. The proposed Transport Sector Project Development Facility (PDF) will improve the startup efficiency for priority transport projects in roads, maritime and aviation sectors for funding by assisting the government transport agencies to prepare feasibility studies, detailed designs, and supporting initial procurement and safeguards activities.

The project readiness financing (PRF) is required given (i) the weak capacity in the implementing agencies, MECDM and HCC  (ii) the need to prepare an implementation-ready project for efficient use of funds considering resource constraints  (iii) the significant support required to strengthen the enabling environment  (iv) the need for strong coordination  and (v) the importance of early and continuous engagement with beneficiaries. The PRF will create an enabling environment for the sector and for the ensuing project. It will support the government to achieve a high level of readiness for the ensuing project.  

Solar Power Development Project. The project will increase renewable energy generation in five of the eight Solomon Island
provincial grids: Kirakira, Lata, Malu’u, Munda, and Tulagi. The project will help the country
replace diesel generation with solar power hybrid grids including battery storage. This will be the
first solar power project in Solomon Islands supported by battery storage. Following the project,
solar power will generate about 78% of the electricity in the five targeted provincial grids. Project
preparatory technical assistance was used in project preparation.  

Emergency Assistance Project. The Project will rehabilitate essential infrastructure that was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami in Choiseul and Western provinces, including (i) approximately 35 km of rural and town roads, along with about 19 bridges and 35 culverts, (ii) about 4 wharves and 1 jetty, and (iii) the Gizo town water supply and sanitation system. These estimates are subject to detailed damage assessments and cost estimates.  

Provincial Renewable Energy Project. The impact of the Project will be improved economic conditions in provincial centers. The outcome of the Project will be an increased supply of reliable, cleaner power to provincial centers by SIEA. The outputs of the Project will be (i) hydropower plants put into operation by SIEA, (ii) extension of distribution by SIEA , (iii) capacity building undertaken for implementing agency and project beneficiaries, and (iv) the Project Management Unit (PMU) renders efficient project management services.  

Preparing the Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project. The project readiness financing (PRF) will facilitate a smooth transition from preparation to implementation of the proposed Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project and will minimize contracting delays and speed up the initial disbursements for the project.  

Sustainable Transport Infrastructure Improvement Program. The National Transport Plan (NTP) formally sets out strategic objectives of developing an effective transport infrastructure and transport services to support sustained economic growth and social development in Solomon Islands. The plan provides the framework to develop and maintain transport sector physical infrastructure and services, and improve the capacities of government agencies and the private sector.  The National Transport Fund (NTF) serves as a sustainable mechanism to fund the development and maintenance of transport infrastructure and transport services.  Of the 1502 km of sealed and unsealed roads, 377 bridges and 81 wharves, NTP targets to rehabilitate these infrastructure assets to maintainable conditions and 100% to be annually maintained by 2030.  

Road Improvement (Sector) Project (formerly Road Improvement Program). The Project is expected to increase economic growth and reduce poverty in the project area by (i) improving the accessibility of rural residents to markets, as well as economic and social services  (ii) promoting private sector-led development  (iii) fostering market formation, and facilitating domestic and international trade  and (iv) generating income and job opportunities. The outcome will be improved road infrastructure for economic and social development.  

Economic and Financial Reform Program. The proposed program is a single-tranche policy-based grant. The program will support Solomon Islands' transition from post-conflict recovery to sustainable development based on the country's first long-term development strategy, i.e., the National Development Strategy 2011-2020. The program continues to support efforts by the Government of the Solomon Islands to reform public sector management in coordination with other development partners. It aims to strengthen the government's implementation of policy reforms that ensure the adequate delivery of public investment and services.  

Domestic Resource Mobilization Project. The proposed project will support the Government of Solomon Islands to improve tax administration. The development outcome will be improved domestic resource mobilization. This outcome will be achieved through (i) more efficient tax administration that provides better services to taxpayers  and (ii) increased capacity of the Inland Revenue Division (IRD) to manage the transition to a more efficient, fairer, and transparent tax framework. The project will assist in restructuring the IRD to (i) move to a functional structure and train staff in their new roles and processes, (ii) finance the acquisition of a new tax administration information system (TAIS) and train staff in its use, and (iii) deliver a public outreach program to increase taxpayer compliance.  

State Accountability Revitalization (Additional Financing). The additional financing will extend and help sustain the benefits of the ongoing project to further improve the government’s accountability for public expenditure. The additional financing will (i) train and certify an additional 19,400 government internal auditors and public finance officers at the central and local levels  (ii) support the sustainability of a competency- and needs-based e-learning training approach (within the framework of a national training institute) by further upgrading training systems and providing modern facilities adapted to e-learning (including training centers in four regional locations)  and (iii) develop fully integrated systems for financial management reporting and supervision in line with the national e-government strategy, adoption of continuous audit and continuous monitoring (CA/CM), implementation of a risk management approach for internal audit, and provision of training to 12,500 system users.  

Boosting Productivity Through Human Capital Development Program, Subprogram 2. This program provides a platform for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) support for the government’s focus on reducing poverty and inequality through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. Boosting human capital will be important to address scarring from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, including the detrimental effect on education and employment, and to build resilience. The program (i) strengthens policies to finance and monitor the SDGs, (ii) improves educational attainment and skills development, and (iii) enhances social protection and public health systems.  

Sustainable Aquaculture Development for Food Security and Poverty Reduction. The Project supports the Government's program to promote sustainable and community-managed freshwater, brackishwater and marine aquaculture development to reduce poverty and increase the food supply among poor fish-farming communities. It focuses on the development of small-scale and low-cost aquaculture production systems that are economically sound and environment friendly, and that can be easily replicated by fish farmers organizations and small- to medium-scale private entrepreneurs. The Project will provide technical and extension support to fish farmers in order to ensure successful project implementation. Such support includes innovative mechanisms to assist organized fish farmer groups with securing production inputs and marketing their final product. The Project builds the capacity of the Directorate General of Aquaculture (DGA) and the participating district governments to formulate policies and regulations for sustainable aquaculture development and environmental management, and to support the needs of the beneficiaries, their communities, and the country's aquaculture industry as a whole.

The Project is implemented in five districts in four provinces: namely: (i) Langkat in North Sumatera Province, (ii) Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI) in South Sumatera Province, (iii) Karawang and Sumedang in West Java Province, and (iv) Buton in Southeast Sulawesi Province.  

Road Rehabilitation II. The main objectives of the project are: economic growth by fostering mobility, trade, investment  help reduce poverty  and maintain national cohesion. The Project includes components to rehabilitate 1,266 km of deteriorated road links and replace 21 bridges on the Trans-Sumatra Central and Eastern corridors and Trans-Kalimantan Highway, linking producing areas and markets in the country's two largest islands. To ensure that the rehabilitated roads do not deteriorate prematurely and secure sustainable benefits, the Project will also include measures to reduce pavement damage caused by overloaded trucks, strengthen the planning, programming and execution of maintenance, and reduce the risk of accidents among roadside communities by raising levels of awareness of accident risk.  

Road Network Development Program - Project 2. The Project will rehabilitate about 37.5 kilometers (km) of the two-lane paved road bypassing Ganja, Azerbaijan's second largest city. The project road is part of the country's primary east-west highway linking the capital, Baku, to the Georgian border.

Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 1. In recent years Sri Lanka,has improved its energy sector and achieved a national electrification ratio of 94% (2012) as compared with 29% in 1990. However, a longer-term challenge is to reduce its high dependence on expensive fossil fuel energy. The energy sector struggles to (a) meet growing demand for electricity at a low cost and acceptable reliability rates, and (b) attain long term sustainability. The share of thermal oil-fired energy in the power generation mix has increased from 6% in 1995 to 59% in 2012 that creates a high energy cost base. Demand growth has been mostly met by expensive oil-fired thermal plants. This is not a viable and sustainable solution to the country s energy security and environment protection in the long term. Diversification of the generation mix primarily to renewable energy sources, improved network efficiency, reduced technical losses and supply and demand side management is the only way to correct this situation. The transmission network needs expansion and modernization, particularly in the former conflict-affected areas in Northern and Eastern provinces. The 33 kilovolt (kV) medium voltage (MV) network needs to expand power supply into rural areas where many households have poor reliability and inadequate quality of electricity supply. For sustainable functioning of the power sector, the government pursues financial, managerial, and institutional reforms in line with the Sri Lanka Electricity Act, 2009.  

Transport Project Preparatory Facility. The proposed Transport Project Preparatory Facility (the Project) will improve the startup efficiency of priority transport projects in the road, railway, and port subsectors by (i) preparing the feasibility studies, detailed design, and procurement documents, and (ii) providing implementation support during the inception stage of project implementation.  

Health System Enhancement Project - Additional Financing. Sri Lanka is currently being devastated by a third wave of COVID-19. Since the first local case was reported on 11 March 2020, the government was able to curtail the first wave well, with only 3,380 cases and 13 deaths as of end-September 2020. But with the second wave and the ongoing third wave since April 2021, the number of confirmed cases increased exponentially, and by 27 May 2021, there were a total of 172,277 cases, and the number of active cases in hospitals increased exponentially from 2,500 patients on 7 April 2021 to more than 27,190 on 27 May 2021. Deaths due to COVID-19 also increased at an unprecedented rate from 588 on 7 April 2021 to 1,298 deaths as of 27 May 2021.

As an emergency response to meet this exponentially increasing COVID-19 positive case burden, the government is urgently working to meet gaps of medical equipment, improving the services and facilities available at the hospitals, expanding the access to oxygen therapy, carrying out renovations and refurbishments to accommodating COVID-19 patients in all hospitals, and introducing home care services on a pilot basis. MOH intends to manage asymptomatic patients at home, mildly symptomatic patients at treatment centers (intermediate care centers) and symptomatic positive patients at COVID-19 hospitals.  

Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 1. The Investment Program will be implemented over a period of 8 years, from 2013 to 2020.

A similarly phased approach will be taken within the tranches and in NRW reduction efforts. NRW reduction will be tackled first in areas with greater physical and commercial losses, and therefore requiring more critical investment in infrastructure replacement. These include Mattakkuliya, Modera, Kotahena, Grandpass, and Bloemendal in Colombo North Area  Fort, Slave island, Kollupitiya (part), and Union Place in Colombo Northwest Area, and Welikada, Boralla, Dematagoda, Maligawatta (part), and Maradana in  Colombo Northeast Area. These areas will be covered by the first tranche. During this period essential studies and modeling under the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) master plan will also be conducted to inform subsequent tranches.  

Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 2. On 25 October 2012, Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a multitranche financing facility (MFF) of $300 million, envisaged to be funded from ADB's Ordinary Capital Resources (OCR) and Asian Development Fund (ADF), for the Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Program (the Investment Program). Tranche 1 ($84 million) under the Investment Program was approved by the President on 22 November 2012. The MFF is envisaged to comprise three additional tranches as follows: $88 million (Project 2 in 2013)  $90 million (Project 3 in 2015)  and $38 million (Project 4 in 2016). Tranches 1 and 2 focus on reducing non-revenue water (NRW) and improving water service efficiency in Greater Colombo. Tranches 3 and 4 will support improvement of wastewater collection and treatment facilities and management services in Greater Colombo. The Framework Financing Agreement (FFA) for the Investment Program was signed on 12 September 2012.

Secondary Education Sector Improvement Program. Sri Lanka has recorded a steady economic growth of 5% per annum for the past decade. In 2019, it attained an upper middle-income country status with a per capita income of $4,020. To continue achieving higher incomes and better standards of living, the government commits to becoming a knowledge-based economy by 2025. Investments in human capital and education have been prioritized for economic diversification and enhanced productivity.

Alignment with country strategy and ADB's value addition: SESIP is aligned with ADB's Strategy 2030, ADB's Country Partnership Strategy 2018-2022 and contributes to pillar 1 (promoting economic diversification and productivity enhancement) by upgrading human capital. It is included in the ADB's Country Operations Business Plan 2020-2022. Although SESIP financing represents only 3.4% of government secondary education spending, it aims to bring transformational change to secondary education and will add value by (i) supporting integrated reforms in curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment that will influence the overall education sector  (ii) training teachers with innovative training modalities that will impact on both pre-service and in-service teacher training quality and modalities  and (iii) focusing efforts at the school level with dedicated resources to improve learning outcomes of the underperforming rural school students. ADB's extensive engagement and experience in implementing similar reforms in several other Asian countries can be utilized. ADB is a long-term, trusted partner of Sri Lanka in secondary education and skills development and has ongoing projects in skills development and higher education, where strong synergy with secondary education will be sought.

SESIP will support the government's secondary education sub-sector program, expected to cost $5.80 billion from 2020 to 2025. ADB will finance $195 million for the RBL and $5 million for the associated project loan, with the balance to be funded by the government. The program expenditure framework and financing plan is in Appendix 4. Considering the ongoing efforts being made by the government in preparing SESIP, financing for prior results may be considered in areas that are integral to curriculum and pedagogical reform -- central to the success of reform implementation.

The RBL program and the associated project loan will be implemented from May 2020 to December 2025. The MOE will be the executing agency for both RBL and investment project. A SESIP steering committee will be established, comprising MOE, National Education Commission, National Institute of Education, Department of Examinations, Provincial Council, Finance Commission, and PEAs and other key stakeholders. The steering committee will be headed by Secretary, MOE. A SESIP program unit will be established within MOE to coordinate and monitor the progress in achieving the DLIs as well as implement and monitor the procurement of consulting services under the investment project. Procurement for the associated project loan will be undertaken following the ADB Procurement Policy: Goods, Works, Non-consulting and Consulting Services (2017, as amended from time to time)  and the ADB Procurement Regulations for ADB Borrowers: Goods, Works, Non-consulting and Consulting Services (2017, as amended from time to time).

Education Sector Development Program. ADB and the Government of Sri Lanka are working together to revamp the country's secondary school system in order to reduce youth unemployment and meet the country's urgent need for skilled workers. The Education Sector Development Program is ADB's first results-based lending, which links loan payments to the achievement of results, such as increase in number of schools offering advanced level science and commerce education, and increase in pass rates among secondary education graduates. It is also introducing technology courses that allow secondary school graduates to move more easily into vocational courses. Classrooms and laboratories are being upgraded, and teachers are being trained, to increase the number of students studying science and commerce. The program is also helping educators and school administrators improve the financing, management and planning at schools.  

Skills Sector Enhancement Program - Additional Financing. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved the program for $100 million equivalent on 28 March 2014 to support the first phase (2014-2016) of the government's 7-year Skills Sector Development Program (SSDP), 2014-2020.  The SSDP aims to build an efficient skills development system to meet labor market demand. The proposed additional financing will enable the government to implement the SSDP through 2020 and add value by scaling up successful program interventions and accelerating the pace of reform initiatives.  

Local Government Enhancement Sector Project - Additional Financing. The additional financing will scale up the project that is performing well, by supporting water supply systems improvement in chronic kidney disease-affected areas, and improving local infrastructure and basic services delivery and advancing local government policy reform and capacity strengthening in Pradeshiya Sabhas not supported previously.  

Sustainable Power Sector Support. The project  will include the following components: (i) transmission system strengthening to further improve its energy efficiency and reliability and enable rural electrification in the Eastern, North Central, Southern and Uva provinces of Sri Lanka  (ii) rural electrification and distribution system improvement in the Eastern and Uva provinces of the country to expand access for the poor and rural households  and (iii) energy efficiency and renewable energy.  

Greater Colombo Wastewater Management Project. The Project is designed to improve the urban environment and public health for the urban and suburban residents in Colombo through improvements to wastewater management services. The Project will support (i) upgrading the sewerage infrastructure, including pumping stations, sewer pipes, and discharge outfalls  (ii) strengthening institutional and operational capacity in asset management, financial management, operational performance monitoring, environmental regulatory compliance, customer services, and pro-poor sanitation services  and (iii) project management and implementation.  

LOLC Finance and LOLC Micro Credit. Approximately 59% of Sri Lankans do not have access to credit. To improve access to finance for MSMEs and strengthen the leasing sector in Sri Lanka, a project consisting of (i) a senior loan of up to $25 million to LOLC Micro Credit Ltd. (LOMC) and (ii) a senior loan of up to $30 million to Lanka Orix Finance PLC (LOFC) is proposed. LOMC and LOFC are subsidiaries of Lanka Orix Leasing PLC (LOLC), a well-known, diversified company listed on the stock exchange with assets of over $1.65 billion.  The loans will also target underserved geographical areas to promote greater access to finance.  

Financial Sector Stability and Reforms Program (Subprogram 1). The program adopts a programmatic policy-based loan (PBL) modality with two subprograms of $200 million each to properly sequence reforms and ensure the needed flexibility while implementing multi-year policy reforms in a crisis period. Subprogram 1 prioritizes immediate reforms to enhance the crisis management regulatory framework and stabilizing the financial sector while subprogram 2 prioritizes follow-on reforms to build a resilient and inclusive financial system. It will be supported by an attached transaction technical assistance (TA) for subprogram 2 and post-program partnership framework (PPPF) activities. A programmatic approach that combines policy-based loans, TA, and knowledge support was selected as it allows complex and challenging reforms to be addressed comprehensively.  

North East Community Restoration and Development Project II - Supplementary. The main objective of NECORD-II is rapidly to improve the living conditions and well-being of a significant number of people in the conflict-affected areas of the North and East by restoring basic social infrastructure, community and public services, and livelihoods. NECORD-II will also support and augment Sri Lanka's rehabilitation and relief efforts underway in the conflict-affected areas.  

Second Integrated Road Investment Program-Tranche 3. The investment program of $900 million multitranche financing facility (MFF) approved on 29 September 2017 will improve access to the road network in Sri Lanka's rural areas, supporting rural economic and social development. It will upgrade and maintain about 3,400 kilometers (km) of rural access roads to an all-weather standard  rehabilitate and maintain about 340 km of national roads in Eastern, Northern, Uva, and Western provinces  and improve the capacity of road agencies with respect to safeguards, road safety, maintenance, research capacity, and road design and construction. Tranche 3 will finance the third slice of projects identified during the appraisal of the MFF, using the time-slice approach.  

Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program - Tranche 2. The Mahaweli Water Security Investment Program (the investment program) will accelerate the economic activities of Sri Lanka's northern dry zone region by transferring surplus water from the Mahaweli river basin for irrigation, drinking and commercial purposes.  It will develop bulk water conveyance and storage infrastructure planned under the North Central Province Canal Program (NCPCP), a high priority program of the government that will support completion of the Mahaweli Development Program (MDP), which started in 1973.
Key components of the MDP were completed in the 1980s, notably several irrigation systems and large dams for hydropower  however, the planned components for water transfers to the northern dry zone were not implemented largely because of the prolonged conflict. After the conflict ended in 2009, the government prioritized completion of the MDP by initiating the NCPCP. The investment program supports the government's sector objective of ensuring water availability to water users, providing water in adequate quantities with improved management, enhancing productivity and water user efficiency, and addressing the spatial variation of water availability, climate change and disaster vulnerability, as described in the Public Investment Programme 2017-2020.  The outcome will be access to water resources for agricultural and drinking purposes in project areas secured.  
ADB and the government signed the financing framework agreement (FFA) for the investment program on 23 April 2015. On 24 June 2015, the Board approved the provision of loans to Sri Lanka under a multitranche financing facility (MFF) of up to $453 million equivalent to be implemented between July 2015 and December 2024. The MFF comprises three tranches and uses the time-slicing approach with individual tranche outputs covering pieces of the overall facility's outputs: (i) new and improved water conveyance and storage infrastructure constructed  (ii) systems for improving water resources management productivity developed  and (iii) multidisciplinary investment program management operational. Output 1 under the investment program will implement three projects: (i) the Upper Elahera Canal Project (UECP) comprising about 101 kilometers (km) of water conveyance infrastructure linking the existing reservoirs at Kalu Ganga, Moragahakanda, Huruluwewa, Eruwewa, and Mahakanadarawa, which supply existing irrigation and town supply schemes  (ii) the North Western Province Canal Project (NWPCP) that will construct about 91 km of new and rehabilitated conveyance channels and two new reservoirs at Mahakithula and Mahakirula to transfer water from the Dambula Oya River and Wemedilla reservoir to command existing irrigation and town supply schemes  and (iii) the Minipe Left Bank Canal Rehabilitation Project (MLBCRP) that will increase storage in its head reservoir and rehabilitate about 74 km of existing canals to improve conveyance and reliability of service to existing farmers.  

SRI: LOAN TO COMMERCIAL LEASING COMPANY LIMITED. The ADB assistance is a direct loan of up to $7.5 million to Commercial Leasing Company Ltd. (CLC). The loan was used for providing leasing facilities to small and medium-sized companies, especially to support business in rural areas in Sri Lanka.  The ADB assistance has strengthened the leasing industry further and provided funding resources and financial services to the SME sector in Sri Lanka. The loan to Commercial Leasing Co. Ltd. (CLC) has provided access to long-term funds and thereby enabled them to promote alternative financing instruments to SME entrepreneurs to promote their operations, increase profitability and enhance their competitiveness.  

Second Integrated Road Investment Program-Tranche 4. The Second Integrated Road Investment Program, a multitranche financing facility (MFF) for the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka approved on 29 September 2017, will improve access to the road network in Sri Lanka's rural areas, supporting rural economic and social development. The investment program, in the amount if $900 million and with an availability period ending in March 2027, will upgrade and maintain about 3,400 kilometers (km) of rural access roads to an all-weather standard  rehabilitate and maintain about 340 km of national roads in Eastern, Northern, Uva, and Western provinces  and improve the capacity of road agencies with respect to road design and construction, research capacity, maintenance, safeguards, and road safety.A periodic financing request for the fourth tranche was received on 20 September 2023. Tranche 4 is aligned with the road map in the FFA to establish 2,500 rural development centers by upgrading or rehabilitating rural access routes, including local authority, provincial, and national roads. The proposed tranche also aligns with the FFA policy framework by (i) adopting a two-tier strategy to provide nationwide connectivity by (a) establishing a trunk road network with expressways and well-connected national roads, and (b) completing a rural road network to connect the rural population to trunk roads efficiently  and (ii) establishing a project implementation framework for the RDA to improve provincial and local authority roads jointly with local road agencies to accelerate completion of the rural road network by supplementing the limited capacity of the local agencies. The proposed tranche also contributes to achieving the objectives of ADB's country partnership strategy (CPS) for Sri Lanka, 20182022, which aims to strengthen the drivers of economic growth and improve the quality of growth.  

Sustainable and Resilient Recovery Program. The program supports Fiji's efforts to restore fiscal sustainability and inclusive climate-resilient economic growth, which have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and coinciding disasters, while building fiscal, community, and private sector resilience to climate change and future shocks. The program comprises three reform areas and complements ADB's previous engagement while responding to policy challenges intensified by the pandemic. All program policy actions have been completed and reforms are under implementation. Reform area 1: Public financial management for fiscal resilience and debt sustainability. The program supported the government in undertaking a series of reforms to help restore fiscal and debt sustainability. Reform area 2: Public policy for community resilience. The government has undertaken several reforms under program to more effectively support and protect women, the poor, and vulnerable people, especially in the face of shocks. Reform area 3: Enabling environment for resilient private sector recovery. Supporting the recovery of businesses and fostering the creation of new enterprises is critical for economic recovery and resilience. As part of the program, several actions have been completed.  

COVID-19: Sustained Private Sector-Led Growth Reform Program (Subprogram 3). The subprogram 3 supports the government to create an environment in which the private sector can drive economic growth through investment, improve management of public finances, strengthen the performance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and open private investment opportunities, and improve the business and investment climate. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and associated containment measures have negatively affected the private sector in Fiji. The program supports the government’s immediate response to COVID-19 as the government seeks to support businesses through this period.  

Fiji Cyclone Emergency Response Project. Tropical Cyclone Winston struck Fiji on 20?-21 February 2016 causing widespread destruction across the entire country. With winds averaging 220 kph and gusting to 300 kph, it was one of the most powerful cyclones ever recorded in Fiji?s history. Storm surges and flooding from Tropical Cyclone Winston caused severe damage to hospitals, schools, and homes. Power, water, and communication outages have occurred leading to a 30 day State of Natural Disaster being declared, and an international appeal for assistance by the Fiji Government. The latest situation report number 25 issued by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) on 25 February 2016 states that there are 42 confirmed fatalities and more than 20,000 people are sheltering in evacuation centers across Fiji.  

Emergency Flood Recovery (Sector) Project. The emergency assistance loan will rehabilitate public infrastructure that was damaged by torrential rains and flooding that occurred over the Fiji Islands in January 2009. The rehabilitation includes main and rural roads - it involves stabilization of landslides, resurfacing, reconstruction of culverts, and repairs and improvements to wet crossings. The Project will also rehabilitate agricultural drainage schemes and water supplies. Design and construction will incorporate climate proofing to the extent economically feasible. The Project will be implemented under a sector approach.  

Emergency Assistance for Recovery from Tropical Cyclone Winston. The emergency assistance loan (EAL) provides $50 million to assist the government finance additional disaster-related recovery expenditures in the FY2017 budget. The government requested ADB financing primarily to assist with reconstructing and building back better 495 schools that were damaged by Tropical Cyclone Winston. Of this total, 219 schools have been extensively damaged and government anticipates being able to rehabilitate approximately 60% of these during FY2017. All new buildings will be required to adhere to stringent standards to maximize their ability to withstand natural disasters. In addition government proposes to use a significant portion of the loan to finance expenditures for the Help for Homes program. This follows a request by the government to both ADB and the World Bank on 11 April 2016 for fast-disbursing emergency finance. In preparing this operation, ADB has worked closely with the World Bank, which will seek Board approval for $50 million of financing for its policy-based operation on 30 June 2016. 

The EAL complements other support that ADB has provided following Tropical Cyclone Winston, including a $2 million grant from ADB's Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund. The grant agreement was signed by the vice-president of Operations 2 during a visit to Fiji on 28 February 2016 and was disbursed on 29 February 2016. ADB also mobilized $0.3 million from the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility to bring a team from Tonga Power (with which ADB worked previously on cyclone reconstruction in Tonga) to assist the Fiji Electricity Authority restore power lines. ADB is exploring possibilities for financing from the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction to support the recovery effort.  

Project Design Advance Urban Water Supply and Wastewater Management Project. The PDA will support the government to deliver the concept design for designbuildoperate, conceptual and detailed engineering designs for wastewater treatment expansion and sewerage works, and bidding documents for all works, and support the technical evaluation of bid proposals, as well as other project preparatory work for the project including (i) initial environmental assessments  (ii) a land acquisition and resettlement plan  (iii) a consultation and communication strategy for the project  (iv) technical review and support to the Government of Fiji for the approval of a national liquid trade waste program  (v) support for the development and approval of a road map for the corporatization of WAF  and (vi) a strategy to improve WAF accounting practices and financial management, and commence implementation. The PDA will allow the government to complete detailed engineering design and preliminary designs before the proposed project becomes effective.  

Sustained Private Sector-Led Growth Reform Program (Subprogram 1). The government has requested a programmatic policy-based loan series with two subprograms to support the implementation of its medium-term reform program. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been a major reform partner and TA provider in fiscal policy, SOE, and private sector development reforms (footnote 1). The program will leverage complex and critical reforms (costing significant political capital), which provide a range of benefits including a reduced fiscal deficit, improved debt position, and efficiencies in public service provision.  The proposed program is fully integrated with the government-led joint policy reform dialogue, and is aligned with a World Bank development policy operation also planned for Board approval in February 2018. The program incorporates past lessons and good practice, including the need to (i) build strong political consensus, (ii) limit reform to a few major actions, (iii) institutionalize a joint government development partner coordination mechanism, and (iv) adopt a medium-term perspective recognizing that deep institutional and structural change requires time to take root.  

Tropical Cyclone Harold Emergency Response Project. Tropical cyclone (TC) Harold, a category 4 cyclone, struck Fiji on 8 and 9 April 2020. With average hurricane force winds over 170 km/h and gusts up to 240 km/h, the cyclone caused widespread destruction across the Central, Eastern, and Western divisions in Fiji.  Many small and remote islands lay in the direct path of TC Harold. It is estimated that more than 182,500 people in Fiji (or around 20% of the population) were directly affected. Destructive winds, storm surges and flooding from TC Harold destroyed villages, homes and government buildings, and severely damaged agriculture and infrastructure, including for water supply, waste and sanitation, electricity, and communications. An estimated 90% of crops have been destroyed in the most affected areas, leaving families with no alternative food source. Outbreaks of typhoid, leptospirosis, and dengue fever have been identified by the Ministry of Health as a major concern.

A state of natural disaster was declared for the affected divisions in Fiji on 12 April 2020. The NDMO is coordinating and monitoring relief efforts which are being undertaken by government agencies and local and international nongovernmental organizations. This  has been particularly challenging given the remoteness of affected islands, travel restrictions due to COVID-19 outbreak, disruption to communication channels, limited number of boat vessels undertaking assessments, and stretched human resources.  

Suva-Nausori Water Supply and Sewerage Project (Supplementary Loan). The objective of the project is to assist human and economic development in Fiji through the development of water supply and sewerage services in the Suva and Nausori urban areas. A new water source will be developed, water treatment plants will be extended and rehabilitated, and pipelines and distribution systems will be developed  sewerage pumping stations and trunk services will be rehabilitated, and sewerage networks will be extended. The project will provide water and sewerage services of a standard that is suitable for commercialized operations, and will complement institutional developments that are being assisted by the Bank.  

Transport Infrastructure Investment Sector Project (formerly Bridge Replacement Project). The proposed project will improve access to socioeconomic opportunities by supporting the government in upgrading and rehabilitating land and maritime transport infrastructure.  

Flood Emergency Response Project. A tropical depression (TD06F) with associated heavy rainfall affected the Western Division of Fiji from 23-27 January 2012 causing landslides and widespread flooding of low lying areas. Nearly 25,000 people were affected with over 4,000 people being forced from their homes and floods and landslides claiming eight lives in total. Water and electricity supplies were disrupted and infrastructure and crops (in particular, sugarcane) suffered extensive damage.

A state of natural disaster was declared for areas of the Western Division on 25 January 2012 effective for a period of 15 days. The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) coordinated and closely monitored the recovery measures taken by the relevant government agencies and NGOs. The Fiji Red Cross assisted affected people in over 70 evacuation centers throughout Fiji. Assessment reports were collated from Divisional and District Emergency Operation Centers and initial damage and needs assessments were undertaken for agriculture, health, water and sanitation and infrastructure.

Relief efforts have focused on priority areas such as the provision of shelter, education, and food supplies as well as restoring critical water and health services. However, based on preliminary estimation of damages more resources are required in order to meet all relief needs. In recognition of this, the Government of Fiji requested immediate ADB assistance under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) on 27 January 2012.  

Third Road Upgrading (Sector) Project (supplementary loan). The original Project was aimed at helping the Government to (i)  improve the efficiency of road sector services and increase private sector participation, and (ii) improve the management of road assets and sector resources. The intent was to reduce transport sector constraints on economic development, and thus improve the economic returns on transport infrastructure. Support for asset management was to help integrate transport sector planning and macroeconomic planning.

The principal components of the Project (the scope will not change under the supplementary financing) were as follows:
i) Civil works for the upgrading of about 100 km of gravel roads selected from among the 19 roads identified under FRUP III  (ii) Civil works for the rehabilitation of roads and the strengthening of about 80 km of sealed pavements  (iii) Civil works for road safety improvements in road infrastructure under the Fiji Road Safety Action Plan  (iv) The procurement of specialized road maintenance and laboratory equipment  and (v) Consulting services, as follows: (a) Detailed engineering work and construction supervision for road upgrading subprojects  (b) Support for the project management unit (PMU), provided by a project management engineer, a local liaison officer, and an accountant  (c) Strengthening of the technical services of the Public Works Department  and (d) Asset management and engineering support for road rehabilitation subprojects.  

Fiji Flood Rehabilitation Project. A tropical depression (TD17F) and tropical cyclone Daphne with associated heavy rainfall significantly affected the Western and Central Divisions of Fiji from 29 March - 3 April 2012 causing landslides and widespread flooding of low lying areas. Over 200,000 people were directly affected with 14,000 people requiring shelter assistance at 180 evacuation centers opened throughout the Western and Central Division. Floods and landslides claimed four lives in total with one person reported missing. Water and electricity supplies have been disrupted and critical infrastructure, especially roads, bridges, and dams, have suffered extensive damage over and above that caused by the January 2012 floods. Similar to the last floods, the Western Division is the main impacted area but more provinces and districts are currently affected (the north coast and western half of Viti Levu).

A state of natural disaster was declared on 30 March 2012 for parts of the Western Division of Viti Levu and published in the Government of Fiji's Gazette on 1 April 2012. The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) is coordinating and monitoring recovery measures which are being undertaken by relevant government agencies and NGOs. 

The Fiji Red Cross and other nongovernment agencies are assisting the impacted population throughout Fiji and in the evacuation. Initial damage and needs assessments have been undertaken for agriculture, health, water and sanitation, roads and various other sectors. Estimates from this assessment released by NEOC indicate damages to be over $40 million.

To date, relief efforts have focused on priority areas such as the provision of shelter, education, food supplies, and the restoration of critical infrastructure, water and health services. Based on preliminary estimation of damages, additional resources are required to meet relief needs. The Government of Fiji requested immediate ADB assistance under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) on 5 April 2012 recognizing and appreciating previous support provided by ADB through the APDRF in February 2012.  

Urban Water Supply and Wastewater Management Investment Program, Tranche 1. The impact of the proposed investment program will ensure future growth in the greater Suva area (GSA) is sustainable and will improve public health. The outcome will be improved access to sustainable water supply and sewerage services in the GSA.  The investment program has three outputs:

Output 1: Supply and access to safe water in the GSA improved. The investment will expand water supply by 40,000 m3 per day by constructing a new supply intake on the Rewa river with associated water treatment plant, pumping station, reservoir, and transmission main to connect to the existing system. Reliable and sustainable long term operations and maintenance practices will be enhanced through a DBO contracting arrangement. A catchment management plan will be developed to safeguard the water source and ensure long term sustainability. NRW reduction will be achieved by improving leak detection and repairs  replacing meters  and establishing district metering areas and pressure management systems. WAF will supply 200 liters per capital per day to 315,947 persons by 2023, ensuring continuous supply to 98% of the GSA population. The climate change component of Output 1 will include adaptation measures for building the new Rewa river scheme specifically moving the facility from 29 km to 49 km from the river mouth to avoid future climate change impacts embodied in projected rising sea levels and potential migration of the salt water wedge up the river.

Output 2: Wastewater treatment and management capacity in the GSA increased. The wastewater network will be rehabilitated and expanded by: (i) upgrading 31 existing wastewater pumping stations  (ii) upgrading about 18 km of wastewater trunk mains to increase carrying capacity  (iii) relining 13 km of wastewater trunk mains  and (iv) extending the wastewater network to service an additional 15% of households (approximately 4,500 existing lots in backlog areas) currently using on-site septic tanks. Additionally, the WWT capacity at Kinoya will be expanded by 164% to cover approximately 277,000 person equivalent to treat wastewater from current and future households. By improving the network and expanding the WWT capacity, WAF will ensure that 60% of households in GSA will have access to a reticulated sewage collection system by 2023. The remaining households with individual septic units will be catered by a fecal sludge management system.

Output 3: WAF management and sustainable service delivery capacity improved. Program management and capacity development support will be provided to: (i) support WAF in the implementation of water demand management, NRW reduction and the national liquid trade waste management programs   (ii) support the Department of Environment (DOE) developing the environmental regulatory framework for treated municipal wastewater discharge, sludge treatment and disposal practices and standards, and associated monitoring and enforcement  (iii) complete the corporatization of WAF  (iv) formulate water safety plans to protect the quantity and quality of water at all source intakes   (v) improve financial management  (vi) promote gender equity  and (vii) study alternatives to reduce the long term energy consumption of the existing urban WWT system.  

Tropical Cyclone Yasa Emergency Response Project. Tropical cyclone (TC) Yasa, a category 5 cyclone, struck Fiji on 17 and 18 December 2020. With average hurricane force winds up to 240 km/h and gusts up to 345 km/h, the cyclone affected parts of the Fiji Group. Vanua Levu, Fiji's second-largest island in the Northern Division, and the small remote maritime islands of the Yasawa group in the Western Division and Lomaiviti and Lau group in the Eastern Division lay in the direct path of TC Yasa. It is estimated that some 93,000 people in Fiji (or around 10% of the population) were directly affected, and at least four people lost their lives. Destructive winds destroyed villages, homes and government buildings, food gardens, farms, and livestock. At the height of the storm, more than 23,000 people sought shelter in 456 evacuation centers.

National Emergency Operation Center Situation Report No. 21 dated 23 December2020 outlined that about 6,000 evacuees remained in 155 evacuation centers. Preliminary estimates show that 85% of homes in assessed areas on Vanua Levu were partially or  fully  destroyed.  Essential  public  services including  water  supply,  waste  and  sanitation, electricity, and communications are still disrupted. Likely outbreaks of leptospirosis, diarrhea, typhoid, and dengue fever have been identified by the Government of Fiji as a major concern. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) Situation Report No. 3 dated 22 December 2020 highlights that immediate relief efforts are focused on the restoration of critical infrastructure and essential services, and the provision of food, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene kits.

Government of Fiji declared TC Yasa a natural disaster for the whole of Fiji, pursuant to the Natural Disaster Management Act 1998, on 16 December 2020 for a period of 30 days. The National Disaster Management Office is coordinating and monitoring initial damage assessments and relief efforts by government agencies and local and international nongovernmental  organizations. Humanitarian  and  development  partner  support  is  critically needed to help the government meet immediate needs of the impacted population.  

Sustained Private Sector-Led Growth Reform Program (Subprogram 2). The proposed subprogram 2 will support the government in creating an environment in which the private sector is able to develop and better drive national economic growth through investment, by improving management of public finances  strengthening the performance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and opening opportunities for private investment  and enhancing the policy, legislative, and regulatory environment in which businesses operate. The program supports the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Strategy 2030 operational priority on strengthening governance and institutional capacity, particularly in small island developing states.  

COVID-19: Fiji Airways COVID-19 Liquidity Support Facility. Fiji Airways COVID-19 Liquidity Support Facility will fund Fiji Airways' fixed costs during operational shutdown caused by COVID-19 and working capital requirements for a 2021 ramp up and restoration of its flight services.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport Corridor 1 (Bishkek-Torugart Road) Project 1. The 500 kilometer (km) Bishkek-Torugart road is part of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Corridor 1 linking the Kyrgyz Republic with the People's Republic of China (PRC) and other Central Asian countries. The Torugart post is a major border control and customs facility between the Kyrgyz Republic and the PRC. The road condition is poor  border-crossing facilities and procedures are outdated and inefficient, and they obstruct international traffic and trade. Improved road and customs infrastructure will remove the obstruction and open up this corridor for wider regional trade and economic cooperation. It will reduce travel and transit times from the current 3 to 4 days to 2 days. 

Improvement of the Bishkek-Torugart road will be implemented in three phases and includes (i) improving 488 km of the Bishkek-Torugart road in the Kyrgyz Republic and the 20 km Bishkek bypass road, (ii) modernizing infrastructure and facilities at the Kyrgyz Republic-PRC border crossing at Torugart, and (iii) policy and institutional support in the road subsector. The Project 1 outputs are (i) an improved 39-km road section from Km 400 to Km 439 of the Bishkek-Torugart road, (ii) modernized customs infrastructure at the Kyrgyz Republic-PRC border crossing at Torugart, (iii) a transport sector master plan for 2010-2025, and (iv) a fully operational Bishkek-Torugart Road Corridor Management Department (BTRMCD).  

Second Investment Climate Improvement Program (Subprogram 3). The program aims to improve the private sector investment climate and help diversify the economy. The program will accomplish this by supporting increasing access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enabling private participation in infrastructure, diversifying export products and markets, encouraging diversified foreign direct investment (FDI), improving skills to match market needs, increasing transparency in the government, and reducing the cost of doing business.  

Second Vocational Education and Skills Development Project. The project seeks to improve the quality and relevance of, and equitable access to and effectiveness of, the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system in the Kyrgyz Republic. Quality and relevance of the TVET system will be improved through modernization of the training methodology, teaching and learning environments, and training delivery. Equitable access will be improved through the introduction of an innovative skills development fund to provide training in response to urgent labor market needs, and for targeting specific geographic areas or specific groups to provide them with employable skills, such as out-of-school youths, ethnic minorities, and the disabled. The project also includes support to rural primary vocational schools outside of Bishkek and Osh, and better access for physically disabled students and for women. The effectiveness of the TVET system will be improved by strengthening TVET governance and management nationally and within the schools.  

Issyk-Kul Wastewater Management Project. The project will improve wastewater services in two lakeshore cities on Issyk-Kul lake, in the eastern region of the Kyrgyz Republic. It will upgrade and expand the existing wastewater systems, build institutional capacity, and strengthen the sustainability of the water supply and sanitation (WSS) utilities in Balykchy and Karakol.

SEFF Activity 3 for Project Readiness for the Issyk-Kul Environmental Management and Sustainable Tourism Development will finance project preparation activities for the Issyk-Kul Environmental Management and Sustainable Tourism Development Project (the Issyk-Kul project), namely: (i) the consulting services (firm) for the preparation of preliminary design and detailed engineering design (DED) for the Issyk-Kul project, and (ii) the consulting services (individual consultants) to support the project management unit (PMU) for the implementation of Activity 3 and the start-up activities of Issyk-Kul project (implementation support consultants).  

Second Investment Climate Improvement Program (Subprogram 1). The proposed program aims to create a more attractive climate for private sector development in the Kyrgyz Republic. It will provide budget support to implement reforms to (i) increase and diversify financial products and services that better mobilize domestic savings  (ii) increase efficient private sector participation in physical and social infrastructure  (iii) diversify exports and export markets, and foreign direct investment  and (iv) increase the transparency and efficiency of public procurement, and reduce the costs of doing business. The programmatic approach will comprise three subprograms to be implemented during 2015-2018.

The impact of the Second ICIP will be increased private sector investment. The outcome will be an improved business and investment climate in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Second ICIP will deliver four outputs through various policy actions: (i) financial deepening and access to finance increased  (ii) comprehensive public-private partnership program fostered  (iii) trade and investment facilitated  and (iv) transparency and efficiency of doing business increased.

Through the Second ICIP, ADB will continue to support the National Sustainable Development Strategy, 2013-2017 in removing development constraints. Reforms listed in the policy matrix will facilitate the Kyrgyz Republic's transition to a sustainable economic development path. Budget support is necessary to finance part of the development financing needs, particularly covering the period between the introduction of reforms and the fiscal benefits resulting from the reforms. Although not used as a determinant of the program size, ADB's support can also help finance the direct and indirect fiscal costs to the government of implementing and monitoring the reforms. The government has the ability to implement the reforms effectively, demonstrated by its experience under the first ICIP and with the policy-based programs of other development partners.

The Second ICIP is estimated to cost $63 million equivalent for 2015-2018, to help support a part of the development financing needs from the perspective of the overall projected budgetary financing requirements of the country (para. 14). The development financing needs are projected at approximately $600 million (2015), $517 million (2016), and $424 million (2017). The government has requested a grant not exceeding $20 million from ADB's Special Funds resources to help finance subprogram 1. Subprogram 2 (with an estimated loan amount of $23 million) and subprogram 3 (with an estimated loan amount of $20 million) are subject to further discussion between ADB and the government.

The grant for subprogram 1 will be provided in a single tranche and funds may be withdrawn upon fulfillment of the policy actions. The subsequent subprograms will be submitted for ADB Board consideration upon completion of the policy actions. The proceeds of the grant will be disbursed in accordance with ADB's simplification of disbursement procedures and related requirements for policy-based loans
Note: A country's eligibility for Asian Development Fund grants under the revised grant framework is determined by its risk of debt distress. The outlook for the Kyrgyz Republic has deteriorated markedly since 2014. ADB considers that the Kyrgyz Republic is at moderate risk of debt distress for 2014, and is therefore eligible to receive 100% Asian Development Fund grant allocation.  

Osh-Plotina Water Treatment Plant Chlorine Neutralization Unit. The first activity under the facility will support the physical upgrade of the chlorine neutralization unit at the Osh-Plotina WTP, completed in September 2016 under the Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction project. The unit will be upgraded to a higher international standard and provide 400,000 people with access to safe and reliable water supply. The activity will improve the development impact and sustainability of the project.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The Program will, in the short term, help the Government of Kyrgyz Republic mitigate the significant negative economic and fiscal impact of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. The government's planned fiscal stimulus package will protect essential social services, while taking credible steps to contain the spread of the pandemic and to mitigate its impact on the population. The Program was developed in close coordination and consultation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which confirmed in its 2020 Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) that the country remains at moderate risk of debt distress, with some room for concessional borrowing.  

Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction. The Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction (EARR) will (i) rebuild damaged houses and improve essential public and community infrastructure, and (ii) restore the country's immediate fiscal capacity to meet the sharp rise in incremental costs arising from the April and June 2010 conflicts. This will in turn help the Kyrgyz Republic with reconciliation efforts and restoration of normalcy. The impact of the EARR is economic recovery and social reconciliation. The EARR's outcome is maintenance of essential public expenditures and rebuilding of critical social and public infrastructure assets in areas affected by the community violence.  

Promoting Economic Diversification Program (Subprogram 2). The program continues to support the implementation of reforms in the National Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2018-2040 (NDS 2040) and its overarching objective of gradually diversifying the Kyrgyz economy away from an over-reliance on gold production and exports (about 6%-10% of gross domestic product each year) and remittance-led consumption (about 30% of GDP). The program is a continuation of past reform support efforts from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the Government of Kyrgyz Republic on trade and investment competitiveness, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development, infrastructure development (including through public-private partnerships), and industry-based skills development. While the Kyrgyz Republic is still recovering from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak that began in March 2020 and the severe economic and employment contraction and fiscal difficulties that was already underway, this program helps the government stay on the reform course, by (i) insulating the originally planned and needed medium-term reform efforts from the current crisis effects, (ii) while adding urgent reforms to improve the fiscal management (and buffers) and social protection mechanisms that have now been agreed to be crucial enablers of the original medium-term reform agenda.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 1 and 3 Connector Road Project. The project will connect two major CAREC regional corridors by rehabilitating a crucial connector road, part of the North-South Alternate Corridor, which is a priority in the National Sustainable Development Strategy.  It will improve connectivity and mobility in the country and link the economic underprivileged regions with the economic hubs, as well as strengthen road maintenance practices and institutional capacity by introducing and implementing a road asset management system and a project implementation unit administrative manual and procedure.

Promoting Economic Diversification Program - Subprogram 3. Subprogram 3 is the final subprogram in a programmatic series that was approved in 2019 with the financing of $50 million for subprogram 1. The program was originally designed with two subprograms. However, in 2021, it was restructured resulting in an additional subprogram and a new reform area. The proposed subprogram 3 remains fully aligned with the original program outcome and outputs, which supports the implementation of the long-term National Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2018-2040 (NDS 2040) and, more recently, the medium-term National Development Program of the Kyrgyz Republic until 2026.

The government plans to accelerate its economic diversification efforts and has prioritized the implementation of structural reforms to improve (i) trade and investment competitiveness, (ii) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) development, (iii) infrastructure development (including through public-private partnerships [PPPs]), (iv) industry-based skills development, and (v) fiscal management and social protection. These efforts will enable the economy and the population to be more resilient to exogenous shocks in the future and will help improve the economy's medium-to long-term trajectory. This subprogram will continue to support the government in implementing complex reforms against the backdrop of significant macroeconomic challenges and constitutional changes by ensuring that planned reform efforts are supported.  The government's overarching objective is to diversify the Kyrgyz economy away from over-reliance on gold production and remittance-led consumption. The scope and coverage of the program are even more important given the continuum of shocks to the economy that began in March 2020 with the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, continued with post-pandemic disruptions in global supply chains in late 2021, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which is adversely impacting the economy through increased food and fuel prices, lower remittances, fewer job opportunities, trade disruptions, and low investor confidence.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 1 and 3 Connector Road Project Design Advance. A PDA grant for $3 million will support the detailed engineering design for the project and external financial audit of the PDA account. The PDA is not listed in the country operations business plan for 20152017 and will follow approval and reporting procedures laid out for PDA financing not listed in the current year's plan. The PDA is proposed to be financed from ADB's Special Funds resources and is the first PDA grant for the project.  

Community-Based Infrastructure Services Sector Project (Supplementary Grant). The Community Based Infrastructure Services Sector Project  (the initial Project) follows a sector lending approach and supports the main objective of the Government of Kyrgyz Republic (Government) of human development by providing: (i) improved community-based infrastructure services  and (ii) training programs to develop institutional capacity. The Project area covers four oblasts (provinces) - Chui, Jalal-Abad, Osh, and Batken. The Project was designed to provide basic infrastructure services in 730 villages and seven small towns to about 1.5 million persons, of whom approximately 70% were living below the poverty line.

The proposed supplementary grant is required to meet the financing gap that has emerged due to significant increases in construction costs during the implementation period. As a result, the water supply systems in 118 subprojects were prioritized out of the originally planned 240 subproject. The proposed supplementary grant will implement the remaining 122 subprojects by providing much-needed water supply and sanitation services for the rural population as prioritized by the Government. Based on the lessons learned from the initial Project, proposed changes include: (i) simplification of the subproject selection criteria to ensure the selection of community-owned demand-driven and cost effective subprojects  (ii) improvement of technical design criteria for implementing simple, technically sound and cost effective subprojects  and (iii) improvement of implementation arrangements to achieve efficiency and quality during project implementation.

Investment Climate Improvement Program System Support Project. The Project aims to reduce the cost of doing business by streamlining business registration process and export and import clearance procedures. Specifically, the Project will support the establishment of a one-stop shop for business registration and a pre-customs single window for export and import clearance. The Project will have the following main components.

1.	One-Stop Shop Business Registration. The Project will support the implementation of an automated one-stop shop that will allow all registration formalities to be completed in MOJ.  This will significantly reduce the time taken to register a business (from 21 days to 3 days), and will reduce the uncertainty associated with the approval process. A summary of the one-stop shop blueprint is in Supplementary Appendix A.

2.	Pre-Customs Single Window. The Project will support the implementation of a pre-customs single window to enable businesses to submit applications and receive permits and certifications for exports and imports through a single channel. Currently, pre-customs clearance requires at least 12 separate approvals and about 25 days clearance time.  By streamlining and harmonizing regulations and automatic processes, the pre-customs single window will enable businesses to obtain clearances within 5 days and through a single administrative document  

Padma Multipurpose Bridge Design Project (formerly Padma Multipurpose Bridge Engineering Tehcnical Asisstance Loan). The southwest zone of Bangladesh is separated from other parts of the country, especially from the north central zone where the national capital of Dhaka is located, by the Padma river. Although there have been improvements and developments of the road network of the southwest zone, links with the rest of the country across the Padma river are still via ferries. Transport capacity of ferry services is very limited, and waiting time at ferry ghats is about one hour for buses/light vehicles and two hours for trucks. In addition, riverbanks of the Padma river are very unstable and the river width changes frequently, which results in approach ghats being temporarily depending on the seasons. Therefore, expansion of existing ferry terminals is difficult due to these unstable river conditions. Moreover, there is an urgent need to replace existing dangerous ferry/launch operations between Dhaka and the southwest region by more safety and reliable surface transport system. Overloaded vessels frequently sink in this waterway route passing through near the risky-prone zone of turbulent confluence of the Padma and Meghna rivers.

The social, economic and industrial underdevelopment of the southwest zone, which encompasses Bangladesh's second major port, Mongla, its third main city, Khulna, and the inland port at Benapole, is in part due to difficult access across the Padma river to the rest of the country. If a bridge to cross the Padma River is constructed, it will certainly strengthen the linkage between the southwest and north central zones. A highway bridge, in particular, will improve and enhance the freight and passenger transportation between Dhaka and major points in the southwest zone and contribute substantially to the regional development of the southwest zone as well as to national economic growth.

The TA Loan will assist the Government in preparing the detailed engineering documents and procurement of the Padma Bridge construction.  

Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project – Additional Financing. The proposed additional financing will finance cost overruns experienced in the ongoing project and additional scope (tertiary distribution network) to further ensure achievement of project outcome. 

The proposed additional financing will cover the remaining works of Package 1, and most of the works of Packages 2 and 3.1 which are scheduled to be awarded by the end of 2020. For Package 2, the contract price (ADB fund) is likely to be around $58.8 million, an increase by around 6% from the cost estimate at the appraisal of the ongoing project, which is within a generally acceptable range. For Package 3.1, the technical bid evaluation report is currently under ADB's review. Large cost increase is not anticipated in this package because the bids were based on detailed design and the nature of works are relatively simple. Government has proposed an additional scope, Package 3.2, with estimated cost of $39.3 million. Issuance of invitation for bid of Package 3.2 is targeted in late September 2020, with contract award targeted in June 2021. Again, large cost increase is not anticipated for this package due to the same reasons as mentioned earlier for Package 3.1. The impact, outcomes, and outputs of the overall project will remain the same as the ongoing project, except for (i) additional indicator for Output 1 for Package 3.2, and (iii) additional Output 4 for the ADF grant.  

Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project - Additional Financing. The project will contribute to develop a sustainable urban transport system (UTS) in GCC, which forms part of north Greater Dhaka, through the delivery of a 20-kilometer (km) bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. This pilot project provides a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility, bearing a demonstration effect as no modern mass transit system exists in Bangladesh yet.  

Third Primary Education Development Project. The Third Primary Education Development Project (PEDP III) is a follow-on to the ongoing Second Primary Education Development Program (PEDP II), the first sub-sector wide approach (SWAp) in the education sector in Bangladesh. The Project will contribute to the Government of Bangladesh (government) five year (FY2012-FY2016) Third Primary Education Development Program (the government's program or the Program) covering one year preprimary education to five year primary education. Together with eight other development partners (DPs), the Project will support the government's priorities of improving student learning outcomes and completion rates, and reducing disparities across all regions. The Government's program will focus on achieving key outputs level results and other implementation steps to policy and institutional changes that are essential to meet the Government's objective of providing quality education for all children  

Bangladesh Power System Enhancement and Efficiency Improvement Project. The proposed project will enhance the coverage and improve the reliability and efficiency of the transmission and distribution network, to facilitate better utilization of the expanding power generation capacity to meet the growth in electricity demand across the country  

Agribusiness Development. The Project is aimed at reducing poverty in Bangladesh through agribusiness growth that generates income and employment in rural areas. The outcome of the Project will be expanded activities of rural enterprises engaged in commercial agriculture production, input supply, marketing, processing, and transportation.  These will generate employment in rural and peri-urban areas, increase the value added of nontraditional crops and commodities, and increase rural incomes.

Specifically, the Project will target small-scale agribusinesses that do not have the wherewithal to mobilize the financing they require to expand, or the capacity to open up new downstream markets. This will be undertaken with the assistance of NGOs experienced in providing credit and support to rural enterprises at the grassroots level. The rural poor will be the ultimate beneficiaries of all of these actions through enhanced employment opportunities, income generation, and agricultural production.

The Project outputs include (i) establishment, expansion, and successful operation of agribusinesses by small-scale entrepreneurs  (ii) strengthened capacity of participating NGOs and wholesale banks in agribusiness lending  (iii) strengthened capacity of agribusiness associations in policy dialogue and agribusiness information and technology dissemination  and (iv) improved policy environment enabling private sector participation.  

Transport Connectivity Improvement Preparatory Facility. The project readiness financing (PRF) loan is proposed to advance project preparation of priority transport projects by financing feasibility study, detailed design and other preparatory works. Ensuing projects will be formed from a list of identified necessary investments which the Government has agreed, subject to agreed project selection criteria.  

Second Chittagong Hill Tracts Rural Development Project. The Project impact will be increased rural household incomes in CHT subproject areas. The outcome of the Project will be increased employment and income generating opportunities in subproject areas. There will be five main outputs: (i) institutional development and capacity building  (ii) rural roads and markets  and (iii) community infrastructure  (iv) micro agribusiness development (MAD)  and (v) project management.  

Strengthening Governance Management Project. The project seeks to improve transparency and accountability of public service delivery in tax and land record administration in Bangladesh with the help of information and communication technology (ICT). Three outputs of the project are (i) online filing of tax returns, (ii) digitized land records management system in selected districts, and (iii) improved access to tax and land information in specialized information and service centers.  

Rural Connectivity Improvement Project. The RCIP will improve the road network connecting the rural population to agriculture value chain development zones in Bangladesh. The project was prepared under the project design advance. Investments will be made to (i) upgrade about 1,700 kilometers of rural roads to all-weather standards in 34 districts located in five divisions  (ii) improve the capacity of the rural infrastructure agency to address institutional constraints relating to rural road development  and (iii) finance enhancements to the national rural road master plan to enable the selection of priority rural roads for improvement using a geographic information system covering the entire country.  

Sustainable Power Sector Development Program (Program Loan). The Program aims to promote sustained economic growth by providing further support and incentives to the Government for continued power sector reform activities through financial and organizational restructuring, improved sector governance, promotion of private sector participation, and capacity development.  

Public Expenditure Support Facility Program and Countercyclical Support Facility Support Program - PESF. The objective of the PESF is to accelerate reforms that are essential for long-term economic growth while also improving service delivery for social protection. The CSF will supplement the PESF by providing support to scale up the Government's countercyclical development program.  

Second Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility. The Second Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF II or the Project). PPIDF II builds on the efforts of Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF I) in helping address the infrastructure deficiencies in Bangladesh by providing long-term debt financing and catalyzing private sector participation through Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL). This will support poverty reduction through enhanced investment, economic growth, and increase in employment opportunities. The design of the Project serves to attract commercial financing for infrastructure projects, thereby reducing the pressure on the public budget. An additional objective of the Project is to help provide the rural population and small to medium enterprises in off-grid areas with access to environment-friendly electricity.

The financing modalities of the Project. PPIDF II comprises two components, namely: (i) component 1 which uses the proceeds from the ordinary capital resources (OCR) sovereign loan of $100 million to provide IDCOL with long-term additional resources for the financing of medium to large-sized private sector-led infrastructure projects with a total project cost of minimum $10 million  and (ii) component 2 which routes the proceeds from the sovereign Asian Development Fund (ADF) loan of $10 million through IDCOL for the further expansion of its successful (Solar Home System (SHS) program which has so far provided financing of more than 2 million SHS (at appraisal) through a microfinance-based, direct sales program in rural off-grid areas to provide households and small businesses with a renewable source of energy. Component 1 will provide funding directly to subborrowers in form of providing long-term loans to infrastructure project while Component 2 will channel funding from IDCOL through participating organizations (POs) to the end-user which are typically households in off-grid areas.  

Third Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility-Tranche 1. The proposed Third Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF 3) is a continuation of the work carried out under the Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF 1) and Second Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF 2) in addressing the infrastructure deficiencies in Bangladesh. Through the two earlier interventions, ADB has provided long-term debt financing and catalyzing private sector participation through the implementing agency, i.e. Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) which substantially contributed to economic growth in the country. The design of the project serves to catalyze commercial financing for public-private partnership (PPP) projects, thereby reducing the pressure of direct financing on the public budget. An additional objective of the facility is to help provide the rural population and small to medium enterprises with clean and affordable electricity either through grid-connected or off-grid energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions. Solar home systems (SHSs) will not be financed under PPIDF 3 given the market saturation and availability of funding from partner donors.  

Gas Transmission and Development Project. The objectives are to: (i) improve the governance of the gas sector through its restructuring and increased private sector participation by developing an enabling regulatory framework  (ii) ensure the long-term financial viability of the sector by reducing technical and non-technical system losses and improving management of sector entities  and (iii) increase the pace of economic development in less-developed regions of the country by expanding the sustainable use and supply of natural gas. The Project will also improve air quality, reduce deforestation, and lessen respiratory diseases.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Railway Sector Investment Program (Subproject 1). The Railway Sector Investment Program which is based on the Government's Sector Roadmap and Investment Plan for 2007-2013 will improve the performance of the railway sector by implementing (i) a reform project of sector policy, organizational, and capacity building reforms to make Bangladesh Railway (BR) more commercially focused, and improve governance and accountability  and (ii) an investment project of infrastructure and rolling stock capacity improvement investments to overcome capacity bottlenecks in sectors where such investments are both economically and financially viable, e.g., the Dhaka-Chittagong and Dhaka-Darsana-Khulna corridors where it can support major direct investment. The reform and the investment projects are integrated as approval of investment subprojects will be dependent on the implementation of specific sector reform actions.  

Strengthening Bangladesh Infrastructure Finance Fund Limited Project. The proposed project is a financial intermediation loan in an amount up to $50 million from Asian Development Bank (ADB)'s ordinary capital resources to Ministry of Finance for relending to Bangladesh Infrastructure Finance Fund Limited (BIFFL), for onlending to PPP infrastructure subprojects screened by Bangladesh Public Private Partnership (PPP) Authority and advised by ADB Office of Public Private Partnership (OPPP).  The associated transaction technical assistance (TRTA) will strengthen BIFFL's institutional capacity and support project implementation. The objective of the proposed project is to facilitate long-term infrastructure finance and sustain infrastructure development in Bangladesh.  

Microenterprise Development Project – Additional Financing. This project is an additional financing for Loan 3744-BAN: Microenterprise Development Project for $50 million (equivalent to ﾬ 44.63 million) from the ordinary capital resources which was approved on 26 November 2018. The project aimed to promote microenterprise development for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. It supported improving microenterprise access to finance through the Palli-Karma Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), an apex development finance and capacity building organisation  and its partner organisations (POs), which are selected microfinance institutions (MFIs). The overall implementation progress is 100%. The cumulative contract awards and disbursements are equivalent to ﾬ 44.63 million. All loan disbursements and liquidation have been completed in December 2019. The PKSF has disbursed $50 million (equivalent to ﾬ 44.63 million) to its 77 Partner Organizations (POs) who have further disbursed $50.85 million to 34,065 microenterprises (MEs) with an average loan size of $1,493. This additional financing will provide much needed liquidity support to PKSF. It will benefit rural microenterprises which will restore economic activity, and boost incomes and consumption in rural areas. The major beneficiaries will be women. The sectors likely to benefit are agriculture, fisheries, livestock, small manufacturing, food processing, and services.ﾠIn addition to promoting growth through forward linkages and developing product markets, the project when completed will be an effective driver for change in the rural economy, and can contribute to poverty alleviation by creating self-employment and wage-employment opportunities.  

Vaccines, Therapeutics, and Diagnostics Manufacturing and Regulatory Strengthening Project. The Government has requested additional support of $338.13million from APVAX under the PIC. The project will have two phases: (i) Phase 1: fill and finish manufacturing of human vaccines, and (ii) Phase 2: full cycle development of selected vaccines. In the first 3 years, the project will support constructing a green, resilient, global enabling sustainability initiative-responsive manufacturing facility and commission equipment for manufacturing VTDs. By 2026, the project aims to start manufacturing fill and finish VTDs. By 2029, the project aims to start selected bulk substrate manufacturing and export of VTDs. The project will help strengthen DGDA's regulatory capacity from maturity level 2 to 3, essential to ensure safe and effective vaccine manufacturing and use. The project is aligned with the following impact: Pandemic preparedness increased, and the disease burden due to selected vaccine-preventable diseases in Bangladesh reduced. The project will have the subsequent outcome: availability of indigenously manufactured selected safe and efficacious VTDs in Bangladesh improved. The project will have the following outputs.Bangladesh has shown remarkable improvements in its health indicator outcomes. Between 2011 and 2022, the Under-5 mortality rate came down from 48 to 31 while the maternal mortality rate improved from 237 in 2012 to 123 as of 2020. The success of the expanded programme on immunization in Bangladesh is a significant factor contributing to declines in maternal and child mortality rates. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) Joint External Evaluation conducted in 2016 highlighted low pandemic preparedness indicators, including the availability of VTDs during public health emergencies. The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these challenges. The country reported 2,044,131 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 29,469 deaths related to the disease. Bangladesh is at significant risk of infectious diseases as one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Bangladesh is one of the ten countries with the highest number of pneumonia cases and related deaths among children less than 5 years of age. Government health expenditure accounts for only 2.63% of the country's gross domestic product (ranking among the bottom 10 countries in the world).  

Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF). The Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility (PPIDF) includes and $82 million loan from ADB's ordinary capital resources (OCR), an $83 million equivalent loan from ADB's special funds resources and a technical assistance grant of $500,000 for capacity building and supporting project implementation.
Component A will use ADB's OCR funds of $82 million to provide financing to the Government of Bangladesh for relending to the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) to finance private sector-sponsored large infrastructure subprojects with a subproject size of more than $30 million.
Component B will provide ADF support of $50 million equivalent to the Government for relending in local currency to IDCOL to finance small and medium-sized infrastructure subprojects primarily located in rural and semiurban areas, especially in the energy sector.
Component C will provide ADB funding of $33 million equivalent for the purpose of promoting renewable energy systems in Bangladesh. IDCOL will finance the set-up of renewable energy systems such as solar home systems and/or biomass installations through a microfinance-based, direct sales program.  

Railway Sector Investment Program - Tranche 4 (Additional Financing). The fourth PFR was received on 17 February 2015 and was updated from time to time with the last update received on 8 February 2016. The government requested a loan of $50 million from ADB's ordinary capital resources (OCR) to finance completion of works for subprojects financed under tranches 1 and 2. Additional financing for these subprojects is required because of (i) the application of the price escalation clause in the contracts, which results in a funding gap  and (ii) adjustment in quantities of bill-of-quantities items based on site conditions.  

Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 2. The proposed Tranche 2 will contribute to the overall impact of the MFF on increased energy sector contribution to low-carbon economic growth in Bangladesh.  The specific impact of the Tranche 2 will be increased access to reliable supply of electricity.  The outcome of Tranche 2 is increased transmission and distribution capability in the power system.  This will allow increased power transfer from Ghorasal to Tongi and to increased transmission capability to satisfy the increasing demand in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet areas.  Also the investments will allow improved distribution networks in the Dhaka region to supply increasing demand in the system to ensure no load-shedding due to network constraints by 2018.  

Strengthening Social Resilience Program (Subprogram 2). The proposed subprogram supports the Government of Bangladesh in strengthening the social resilience of Bangladesh's people. Aligned with the government's medium-term reform agenda on social protection, the program aims to accelerate reforms in increasing the coverage and efficiency of the protection, improving the financial inclusion of disadvantaged people, and strengthening the response to diversified protection needs.

By increasing the capacity of a major international trade corridor, the project will boost the national economy and facilitate subregional cooperation and trade. The project was endorsed by the SASEC Trade Facilitation and Transport Working Group in a meeting held in Singapore on 30 October 2013.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The CARES program will provide the government with budget support to mitigate the severe social and economic impact of COVID-19 in Bangladesh. The program will fund government expenditures and programs in critical areas such as the expansion of social safety nets for vulnerable women and other groups and support critical labor-intensive industries, SMEs and microenterprises in order to preserve jobs. The government programs will assist the worst-hit industries such as the RMG and service industries.  

Secondary Education Sector Investment Program - Tranche 1. The proposed investment program will support the government's reform of secondary education (grades 6-12) into a system that builds the foundation for a skilled labor force and prepares youths to meet the requirements of a rapidly developing economy. It will support advanced teaching and learning programs that use information and communication technology (ICT), as well as prevocational and vocational programs, teacher development, and examination reforms. It will promote gender-equitable and pro-poor stipends for students. It will help establish more decentralized and efficient allocation and use of resources, as well as strengthen sector performance monitoring. The investment program will build upon the ongoing Secondary Education Sector Development Program  and the Second Teaching Quality Improvement Project.  It will further benefit from the experience of the Third Primary Education Development Project, which uses disbursement-linked indicators (DLIs).  The investment program links disbursement to the achievement of key results. It will further support the transition to a sector-wide approach.  

Railway Rolling Stock Operations Improvement Project. The Government of Bangladesh proposed a project for Asian Development Bank (ADB) financing to improve the operational efficiency of Bangladesh Railway through the procurement of modern rolling stock, preparation of investment projects to enhance its rolling stock maintenance capacity and support for the ongoing railway reform. The project will contribute to the increase in railway share as a core transportation mode of the country and to the modal shift from roads to rail. The modal shift and the efficient rolling stock will reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission.  

Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) Project - Additional Financing. Building upon the successful implementation of earlier phases, the project will provide investment funds to pourashavas based on their governance performance. The project will develop towns with high growth potential in an integrated and holistic way both in terms of governance and infrastructure with an aim at making them model towns of the country. In addition to the focused interventions to these towns, the project will roll out application of governance performance criteria linked with fund allocation to all class-A pourashavas, in the country.  

Urban Public and Environmental Health Sector Development Program (Program Loan). The overall impact of the Urban Public and Environmental Health Sector Development Program (UPEHSDP) is to improve the public and environmental health conditions in the urban areas of Bangladesh, particularly in the six city corporations (Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna, Rajshahi, and Sylhet). The successful implementation of the UPEHSDP will help reduce child mortality and morbidity by reducing the prevalence of waterborne and food-related diseases, increase productivity by reducing overall morbidity, and improve the quality of life of urban inhabitants. UPEHSDP will improve the health status of the poor in urban areas and assist Bangladesh to make progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) relating to child and maternal health care and communicable diseases (MDGs 4, 5, and 6), and improve urban sanitation (MDG 7). The program and project loans under the UPEHSDP are designed to complement each other in achieving progress towards these key goals.  

Sustainable Economic Recovery Program (Subprogram 2). The program supports Bangladesh's economic recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic amid a context of heightened regional and global economic uncertainty. Subprogram 2 deepens reforms initiated in subprogram 1, with continued focus in two areas: (i) public financial management (PFM)  and (ii) access to finance for the underserved market segments, mainly cottage, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (CMSMEs). The PFM reforms will help create the fiscal space needed to boost investment in critical physical and social infrastructure. Broadening access to finance will help revitalize CMSMEs, which is crucial not only for preserving employment and livelihoods but also for strengthening production networks throughout the value chain. Subprogram 2 advances these agenda while also building the capacities of government agencies to operationalize the reforms and shaping longer-term reform strategies and plans.  

Emergency Assistance for Food Security Project. It contributed to the efforts of the Government for 5 million poor and vulnerable people to have better access to food.  It reduced the poverty levels of low-income groups. The focus of the Project was to improve access of the poor to food, income and livelihood support. It assisted in relieving the immediate fiscal pressures because of a sharp rise in safety net expenditures.  It also assisted in sustaining the external balance, aggravated by higher import costs for food grains.  

Irrigation Management Improvement Project - Additional Financing. The proposed additional financing will cover cost overruns of the ongoing project. The ongoing project is modernizing the Muhuri Irrigation Project in Feni district in Chattogram division and strengthening the capacity of Bangladesh to improve national practices on sustainable management, operation, and maintenance (MOM) of its large-scale irrigation schemes. The project is critical from a climate change adaptation perspective as it significantly increases flood risk protection for productive land and assures irrigation water supply during lean periods. While introducing innovative infrastructure modernization, it also aims to foster private sector participation in water sector by transferring MOM responsibilities from government departments to private operators.  

Climate and Disaster Resilient Small-Scale Water Resources Management Project. The proposed Climate and Disaster Resilient Small-scale Water Resources Management Project builds on three prior Asian Development Bank (ADB)-financed small-scale water resources (SSWR) management projects implemented by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) in Bangladesh.

On 24 October 2017, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Board of Directors approved a multitranche financing facility (MFF) of $1,200 million to the People's Republic of Bangladesh for the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Dhaka-Northwest Corridor Road Project, Phase 2. The executing agency is the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) of the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges. The project improves the road connectivity of the Dhaka-Northwest international trade corridor. Three outputs will be delivered: (i) Elenga-Hatikamrul-Rangpur Road of the Dhaka-Northwest international trade corridor upgraded  (ii) RHD's institutional capacity in road operation and management enhanced  and (iii) road safety and gender-responsive features strengthened, and the cost overrun financed for the Joydeypur-Chandra-Tangail-Elenga Road of the Dhaka-Northwest international trade corridor under the SASEC Road Connectivity Project. The availability period of the MFF is up to 31 August 2027. The MFF comprises four tranches, finances slices of long-term contract packages. Each tranche finances slices of a group of contracts per the indicative tranche schedule, and the amount for each tranche is requested based on disbursement progress and projection. Preconstruction activities such as land acquisition, resettlement, and procurement were implemented in the first 3 years of the project. Tranche 1, comprising a regular ordinary capital resources (OCR) loan of $250 million and a concessional OCR loan of $50 million, financed the first slice of the project and was closed in Jan 2023. Tranche 2 comprising a regular ordinary capital resources (OCR) loan of $398.38 million was approved in Dec 2019 and is ongoing  finances the second slice of the project. The government requested $300 million loan for tranche 3, same as the original amount requested during project inception.  

Skills for Employment Investment Program - Tranche 1. The investment program will support the Government of Bangladesh's reforms in skills development, anchored in the National Skills Development Policy (NSDP), 2011. It will support large-scale private sector involvement and public-private partnership, which is critical to meet existing and future labor market needs and to reduce the skills gap. This in turn is crucial for Bangladesh to move away from the 'low-skill, low-wage equilibriumm' to a 'higher skill, higher wage virtuous cycle' to become a middle income country. The program will help the government to scale-up skilling of new entrants and up-skilling of existing workers to contribute to higher growth of priority sectors. The program will strengthen skills development in Bangladesh and support transition to a sector-wide approach (SWAp) by establishing a unified funding system and enhancing overall coordination of the currently fragmented system.  

Coastal Towns Climate Resilience Project. The Government of Bangladesh (the government) has requested support from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to strengthen the climate resilience of vulnerable coastal towns, thereby enhancing their ability to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the effects of climate shocks and stresses. The proposed project will support selected coastal towns in pursuing sustainable development and enhancing the quality of life of all residents. It will also help in strengthening rural resilience, as these small towns often act as service centers for surrounding rural areas.  

Southwest Area Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management. As overall goal, the Project will enhance economic growth and reduce poverty in the concerned FCD/I areas, while providing a model for rejuvenating the poorly performing FCD/I systems that will be replicated throughout the country.

The tranche has two components. The first component, a $262.29 million ordinary capital resource (OCR) loan, is provided to Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) to onlend to infrastructure projects developed under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The project serves to provide long-term financing and catalyze private sector financing for infrastructure development, reducing pressures on public finance and enhancing value for money. The second component, a $16 million concessional OCR loan, supports investment in smaller energy efficiency, renewable energy solutions and social infrastructure projects. The project has the following two outputs: (i) available long-term debt financing for infrastructure projects increased, and (ii) take-out financing for infrastructure projects catalyzed.

The PPIDF3 is a continuation of the Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility and the Second Public-Private Infrastructure Development Facility addressing the infrastructure deficiencies in Bangladesh. The PPIDF3 will help catalyze commercial financing through IDCOL-supported infrastructure subprojects with the value addition of supporting private sector development. The MFF is expected to catalyze $789 million in private sector investments with at least eight subprojects through regular OCR financing, and at least two renewable energy subprojects through the concessional OCR financing. The project also seeks to strengthen the institutional capacity of IDCOL to fulfill its mission as a flagship financial institution supporting PPP finance in the infrastructure sector. The tranche 1 has made great progress in these fronts, supporting eight infrastructure subprojects and two renewable and energy efficiency subprojects, and catalyzing $457 million private sector investments. Tranche 2 will continue to fund at least five infrastructure subprojects and two subprojects in the renewable energy and energy efficiency areas amounting to $278.29 million.  

Sustainable Projects in the Textile and Garment Sector. ADB will provide a 5-year senior unsecured term loan to Eastern Bank of up to $20 million. The proceeds will be used to finance socially and environmentally sustainable projects in the textile and garment sector. In particular, the proposed loan will finance the construction or expansion of textile and garment factories that meet the high structural, fire, and electrical safety standards required by the accord or the alliance. All sub-borrowers will be required to consider energy efficiency and be encouraged to select energy efficient designs and equipment for the sub-projects.  

Emergency Assistance Project - Additional Financing. ADB's additional financing is expected to fill the resource gap and to support the medium-term needs. The committed funding by other donor agencies is mostly towards the humanitarian supports  hence, the gaps in the infrastructure for medium-term needs remain wide. The proposed second phase of the project is expected to finance the infrastructure for medium-term needs mainly and complement the above World Bank's project. Moreover, the government has requested urgent support from ADB to meet the immediate medical needs and mitigate the impact of the outbreak either through a new program or by extending the scope of the second phase of the project. The request includes (i) establishing isolation centers  (ii) ensuring sufficient supply of personal protective equipment and medical goods  (iii) bolstering diagnostic capabilities  (iv) establishing or strengthening emergency operations centers  (v) training health workers in case detection and management  (vi) enhancing risk communication  (vii) expanding disease surveillance in communities and points of entry  (viii) improving clinical management and health care services  and (ix) strengthening infection management and control.  

Greater Dhaka Sustainable Urban Transport Project. The project  will contribute to develop a sustainable urban transport system (UTS)  in GCC, which forms part of north Greater Dhaka, through the delivery of a 20-kilometer (km) bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor. This pilot project provides a holistic solution for integrated urban mobility, bearing a demonstration effect as no modern mass transit system exists in Bangladesh yet.  

Bangladesh-India Electrical Grid Interconnection Project. The project will include (i) a 40 long kilometer 400kV double circuit transmission line from the Bangladesh India border to Bheramara, (ii) a 500mW back to back HVDC station at Bheramara  and (iii) a 230kV interconnection with the western grid of Bangladesh.  

Good Governance Program. The Good Governance Program is expected to contribute to economic growth and enhanced public access to effective public services to the citizens of Bangladesh. The key outcome of the Program will be improved governance and lower incidence of corruption in the public sector of Bangladesh.  This will be reflected in: (i) increased consensus on good governance, integrity and anticorruption reforms in the country  (ii) increased performance of and transparency within key institutions mandated to fight and prevent corruption such as the ACC, judiciary, prosecution, as well as the civil society, and the private sector  (ii) mainstreaming of initiatives on good governance and anticorruption within selected sectoral level agencies vital to public services  and (iv) strengthening of corruption prevention mechanisms such as the Office of Ombudsman, and legal, institutional framework for whistleblower protection, and right to information.  

Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Program (Project Design Advance). The proposed Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Program (RIMP) will focus on improving rural road rehabilitation and maintenance in selected districts of Bangladesh.  The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will contribute to a $1.2 billion rural road and bridge maintenance policy,  and the Government of Bangladesh has requested project design advance (PDA) in the form of a loan to support preparatory activities for the RIMP. 

There has been significant improvement in rural infrastructure in Bangladesh since the 1990s, however, rural connectivity remains weak which impedes physical and economic access. For example, only 40% of the rural population has access to all-weather roads, and around 33% of upazila  and union roads and 84% of village roads remain unpaved. Improved economic growth has resulted in a rapid increase in road-based cargo transport in rural areas, which has aggravated poor rural road conditions. Over 40% of the rural road network is in poor condition and needs to be rehabilitated. Rehabilitation and maintenance budgets are insufficient, covering only 35% of needs, which has destabilized rural road networks. Weak construction and maintenance skills, overloading of vehicles, and extreme climate events have contributed to a significant rehabilitation and maintenance backlog. The rural road network, even under present climatic conditions, is seriously damaged during flooding and intense rainfall events.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Second Bangladesh–India Electrical Grid Interconnection Project. The Second Bangladesh-India Electrical Grid Interconnection Project, as part of the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Program, will help upgrade the power transmission capacity of the existing grid interconnection between Bangladesh and India from 500 megawatts to 1,000 megawatts. The power grid of western Bangladesh at Bheramara and the power grid of eastern India at Baharampur were first successfully interconnected in 2013 through the first Bangladesh India Electrical Grid Interconnection Project.  

Dhaka Power System Expansion and Strengthening Project. The proposed project supports the Government of Bangladesh in enhancing the electricity distribution network in the rapidly expanding city of Dhaka to ensure reliable electricity supply to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The project will construct substations, lay underground cables, and overhead lines to provide reliable, safe, and improved quality of electricity supply to 200,000 new and 1.1 million existing customers in Dhaka. In addition, the project will improve the energy efficiency and also support the improvement of the operational capacity of Dhaka Electric Supply Company (DESCO). The project's attached TA will enhance the government's and DESCO's public-private partnership (PPP) capacity, support the necessary reforms and develop a roadmap and action plan for strengthening DESCO's capacity for accessing commercial borrowing, and support inclusiveness in DESCO's operations by strengthening and monitoring gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) requirements during project implementation.  

Sustainable Power Sector Development Program (Project). Building on the first power sector development program approved in 2003, the policy loan aims to provide further support and incentives to the Government for power sector reform activities through financial stabilization of sector entities and their improved governance. The investment loan will be linked to the ongoing power sector reforms and will expand power supply capacity, enhance transmission network reliability, and improved quality of supply in Dhaka and surrounding areas. The entire exercise of the Sustainable Power Sector Development Program is to support economic growth of the country and gradually relieve the Government of financially supporting the power sector.  

Climate-Resilient Livelihood Improvement and Watershed Management in Chittagong Hill Tracts Sector Project. The proposed project will improve climate resilient livelihoods and access to basic services for rural communities living in the three hill districts of Bandarban, Khagrachari and Rangamati of the Chattogram Hill Tracts (CHT) region, a remote and relatively under-developed region of Bangladesh. The project will adopt a holistic approach of addressing deficiencies in financial, human, physical, natural, and social capital that are needed to support sustainable and resilient community development. Specifically, the project will (i) develop small-scale community infrastructure  (ii) improve watershed protection and management  (iii) improve agricultural production, processing, and marketing  (iv) improve non-farm skills amongst rural youth and strengthen capacity of CHT institutions  and (v) improve rural road connectivity. The project will explicitly support climate resilient outcomes and build long-term resilience of the institutional systems that it supports, in one of the most socially disadvantaged and highly vulnerable regions of Bangladesh.

The project is aligned with the government's 8FYP, which aims to reduce poverty in lagging regions through investments in rural roads, rural water supply and sanitation, irrigation and agriculture, rural enterprise development, community forest management, promoting sustainable development, and minimizing climate related challenges. The project also supports the strengthening of CHT institutions, empowerment of women, inclusion of ethnic communities in development, and partnerships with civil society organizations. The project compliments the programs of several other development partners engaged in the CHT. The project is also aligned with the objectives of: (i) the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100  and (ii) the Nationally Determined Contributions 2021 of Bangladesh. Within ADB, the project aligns with: (i) several operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030  and (ii) the Country Partnership Strategy for Bangladesh 2021-2025, specifically, strategic objective 2: promote green growth and climate resilience  and strategic objective 3: strengthening human capital and social protection.

The PRF will prepare the detailed feasibility study, engineering design, and procurement document  and provide assistance in procurement-related processes. 

The ensuing project of MRT Line 5 (Southern Route) will comprise a total length of about 17.4 km between Gabtoli and Dasherkandi stations.  The congested central area of Dhaka requires 12.8 km of underground section with 12 stations, while the remaining section will be elevated with 4 stations. The ensuing project will be considered after completing the engineering design supported by the PRF.  

Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program - Tranche 1. The proposed investment program includes three tranches encompassing generation expansion and associated transmission and distribution improvements.  Tranche 1 mainly focuses on generation expansion. Tranche 2 focuses on transmission and distribution improvement together with a pilot solar irrigation component.  Tranche 3 also invests on generation expansion. Generation expansion in the MFF will be undertaken through supply side energy efficiency improvement so that about 50% power can be generated without burning additional gas. Given the acute gas shortages in Bangladesh, conversion of single cycle gas fired power plants to combined cycle plants   the technology adopted in the investment program is the best way to expand the generation capacity. The sequencing of the tranches is well aligned with the sector needs and the government program.

The Tranche 1 of the proposed Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program will address two key areas in the power sector aligning with the priorities identified in the CPS: improving energy use efficiency of thermal power plants  and improving the transmission network capacity.  The project interventions will include: (i) adding 235 MW capacity by conversion of four single cycle gas fired power plants to combine cycle plants at Khulna, Baghabari, Sylhet  and Shahjibazar  (ii) construction of 180 km 132 kV transmission lines and four 133/32 kV substations  and (iii) capacity building. The capacity building component includes training on investment planning, operations planning, energy auditing and monitoring, financial management and auditing, project preparation and appraisal, and operation and maintenance of solar irrigation pumps. In addition, the capacity building component will provide consultants for preparation of subsequent tranches and implementation support.  

Dhaka Water Supply Sector Development Program (Project Loan). The overall expected impact of the Dhaka Water Supply Sector Development Program (DWSSDP) is to contribute to sustained economic growth and public health improvement, in urban water supply sector, particularly in Dhaka Metropolitan Area, through improvement of living standard in the basic human needs by improving the water supply. The supply of clean water will impact on reduction in child mortality and improvement of general health, conversion to economic activity by saving time to fetch and to store water, and conservation of precious natural resources-the surface and ground water. The program and project loans are designed to complement each other in achieving progress in these key sector objectives.  

Urban Infrastructure Improvement Preparatory Facility. The proposed Urban Infrastructure Improvement Preparatory Facility  for Bangladesh will help manage the technical and implementation issues upfront to secure high readiness of the ensuing investment projects for ADB financing. It will support the Department of Public Health Engineering (DPHE) in preparing water supply and sanitation investment projects in selected secondary towns and city corporations where development is lagging. In target towns, the facility will support the shift from intermittent and groundwater-based supply to continuous supply from surface water. It will also support the Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) in improving water supply, drainage, and urban roads. Narayanganj is the fourth most populated city in Bangladesh and economically important because it is adjacent to Dhaka. The facility will build NCC's capacity for municipal financial management to ensure the sustainability of urban infrastructure investments, and their operation and management.  

Natural Gas Infrastructure and Efficiency Improvement Project. The project aims to (i) improve efficiency in natural gas production by installing seven wellhead gas compressors at location A of Titas gas field, and (ii) expand natural gas transmission pipeline capacity by constructing an approximately 181-kilometer, 36-inch parallel gas transmission pipeline from Chittagong through Feni to Bakhrabad.  

Smart Metering Energy Efficiency Improvement Project. The proposed program will contribute to the government's program to improve demand-side management and energy conservation by installing prepaid gas meters for all domestic customers by December 2023 and improve operational performance of the gas distribution companies, focusing on the government's priority areas of Greater Dhaka and Chittagong. Installation of prepaid gas meters is expected to (i) reduce system losses through saving of gas by preventing gas wastage, (ii) build up awareness among customers to use gas more efficiently, (iii) improve financial health of gas distribution companies by earning revenues in advance and reducing billing, collection, and monitoring cost, (iv) improve management efficiency and enhance customer service of gas distribution companies, (v) prevent accident due to gas leakage in internal pipelines, and (vi) help meet the national climate target by reducing carbon emissions by gas savings.  

Urban Primary Health Care Services Delivery Project. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported Urban Primary Health Care Project (UPHCP) is one of the largest public-private partnerships (PPP) in the delivery of primary health care (PHC) in South Asia. The Government of Bangladesh with the assistance of ADB implemented the Urban Primary Health Care Project (UPHCP) from March 1998 to June 2005.  The Second Urban Primary Health Care Project (UPHCP-II), supported by ADB and the Governments of the United Kingdom and Sweden, commenced in July 2005 and was completed in December 2012.  A provision of $50 million has been made for the Bangladesh Urban Primary Health Care Services Delivery Project (UPHCSDP) in ADB's lending pipeline for 2012 in addition to $400,000 grant support for Supporting the Urban Primary Health Care Services Delivery Project in 2012. The UPHCSDP and the grant continue the provision of urban PHC, among others, through successful PPPs pioneered by UPHCP and UPHCP-II.  

With a density of 2,756 people per square kilometer (km2) in urban areas and 843 people per km2 overall, Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world (excluding a few city-states).  Bangladesh is urbanizing at a rapid pace and the country's urban population is expected to reach 89.5 million (from 39.5 million in 2005) by 2030.  According to one estimate, by 2020 the urban poor figure could be as high as 40%-60% of the urban population.  Notwithstanding higher economic growth in urban areas, the absolute number of poor households is increasing in urban Bangladesh due to migration of rural poor into urban areas. Studies have shown that the health indicators of the urban poor are as worse as those of the rural poor because of poorer living conditions, and limited urban PHC. Failure to provide urban PHC can have serious negative externalities, e.g., spread of communicable diseases, debilitating epidemics, reduction in economic productivity, among others.  

Khulna Sewerage System Development Project. The proposed Khulna Sewerage System Development Project (KSSDP) will develop a new sewerage system in Khulna, covering commercial and densely populated areas with about 850,000 population by 2027.

Sustainable Rural Infrastructure Improvement Project. The Sustainable Rural Infrastructure Improvement Project (the Project) will reduce poverty and raise incomes in 21 districts of northwest and southwest Bangladesh through fostering economic growth, governance and gender equity.  The Project will enhance the accessibility of the rural people to social services, such as health and education and economic opportunities.  Widening the access to markets and livelihood activity will result will result in improved earnings for the rural poor including the poor women.  Based on the lessons learned from previous projects, project areas have been selected on the basis of high connectivity and poverty concentration, and there will be greater emphasis on fostering gender equity in economic opportunities, ensuring sustainable operation and maintenance, developing climate resilient infrastructure, and considering green elements in the design and implementation of the project.  

Subregional Transport Project Preparatory Facility. The proposed technical assistance loan will provide the facility to prepare a series of regional cooperation and integration (RCI) transport projects in roads and railways. The loan will ensure the projects are ready for implementation by providing funding for feasibility studies, detailed design preparation, procurement assistance, and safeguard implementation. The focus will be on priority transport corridors identified in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Regional Multimodal Transport Study.  Transport corridors linking with the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) countries--such as the Asian Highway Network and the Trans-Asia Rail Network--will also be targeted. While the facility will cover 8% of Bangladesh's major roads and 12% of its railways, development of these corridors would complete the subregional land transport network, which will stimulate both subregional trade and the Bangladesh economy.  

Skills for Employment Investment Program - Tranche 2. The Skills for Employment Investment Program (SEIP) supports the government's ambitious skills development initiatives, which aim to enhance the productivity and employability of the growing workforce to reduce poverty and accelerate economic growth. The proposed Project 2 (2017-2021) aims to harness the evolving skills development system by strengthening training partnerships established under Project 1, while expanding the scope of skills training. Horizontally, Project 2 will expand its sectoral coverage of training from six to nine priority industries, bring in additional public and private training partners, and pilot upskilling training for Bangladesh migrant workers overseas. Vertically, Project 2 will upscale mid-level skills training (e.g., quality control personnel and supervisors) and introduce a new industry-specific managerial training program in response to the emerging "middle-management gap." Project 2 will also emphasize women's access to various skilling opportunities to promote their formal-sector employment and gender equality.  

Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Investment Program - Tranche 2. The multitranche financing facility (MFF) to the People's Republic of Bangladesh for the Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Investment Program was approved in 2014 to improve the livelihoods in the project area along the Jamuna, Padma, and Ganges rivers in central Bangladesh.  It will reduce flood and riverbank erosion risks in priority erosion reaches through structural and nonstructural interventions, and institutional and knowledge-based strengthening. It will implement three subprojects comprising climate-resilient flood embankments protecting critical riparian productive areas in central Bangladesh and capacity building initiatives. It will extend successful riverbank protection technologies of the ADB-financed Jamuna-Meghna River Erosion Mitigation Project to other areas, with necessary improvements. 

At the government's request the originally envisaged Tranches 2 and 3 of the MFF will be combined into a single and final tranche (Tranche 2). Tranche 2 will be a continuation of the works carried out under Tranche 1 and will build upon the achievements of Tranche 1.

The Project will alleviate a severe power shortage adversely impacting the country's economic growth and poverty reduction efforts by adding 341 MW of greenfield power capacity generating cleaner, efficient, reliable and affordable electricity. The Project will also stimulate the economy by purchasing local goods and services and creating jobs for qualified locals in the Project area and in the country.

The Project will also catalyze, private sector investment in power generation in Bangladesh, using a public-private partnership framework.  

Secondary Education Sector Development Program (Project). The overall objective is to contribute to poverty reduction in Bangladesh by improving the quality of and increasing access to secondary education. Relevant and quality education will support the continued social and economic development of Bangladesh and expand employment opportunities for its population. The three major components: (i) increasing accountability and transparency in secondary education management, (ii) improving the quality of education, and (iii) improving equity of access to secondary education.  

Second Capital Market Development Program. The program's impact will be a well functioning financial system that supports basic capital and investment needs, as well as Bangladesh's longer-term economic objectives. The program's outcome will be a deeper and more stable capital market. The program components include (i) strengthened market stability by enhancing SEC's role to develop the market, promoting financial stability through joint supervision of the financial system, strengthening regulatory measures, and developing a market surveillance system  (ii) enhanced market facilitation by developing a long-term vision for capital markets, upgrading accounting and auditing standards, expediting adjudication of enforcement actions, improving governance of listed companies, and pursuing demutualization of the stock exchanges   (iii) enhanced supply of equities and bonds  and (iv) enhanced demand for equity and debt securities.  

Financing Brick Kiln Efficiency Improvement Project. Brick manufacturing process is energy intensive and a main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and fine particulate pollution in Bangladesh. The proposed project intends to establish an equivalent of $50 million credit facility in local currency at Bangladesh Bank (central bank) for relending to participating financial intermediaries (PFIs) to construct more energy efficient and environmentally superior brick kilns. The credit facility has two components: one is to upgrade existing polluting brick kilns to a transitional design as an immediate measure to comply with the government directive (footnote 11) and reduce pollution, and the other is to promote the most advanced brick kiln pilots to demonstrate their operational and commercial viabilities in Bangladesh. The combined efforts, along with concerted donor assistances, will help catalyze domestic finance and leverage the demonstrative effect to build up sizeable clean brick manufacturing capacity in Bangladesh to eventually replace the existing pollution brick kilns and modernize the brick sector.  

Facilitating Youth School-to-Work Transition Program (Subprogram 1). This is to support JobStart, a job skills training program that is being piloted in the capital city of Manila. The project is focused on providing training to “at risk” youth from poor households, most of whom are either high school graduates or people who did not finish college.  

Second Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility - Additional Financing. The additional financing of the Second Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (HEAL2-AF) builds on the original project and will expand the Philippines procurement and deployment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines. It will support the governments procurement of at least 40 million additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines for eligible children, and third and booster shots for the wider population.2 The HEAL2-AF complements the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 (HEAL) project, which supports the government's COVID-19 response.  

Local Government Financing and Budget Reform Program - Subprogram 2. A proposed loan of $225 million for subprogram 2 for the Local Government Financing and Budget Reform (LGFBR). Subprogram 2 of the LGFBR program will continue to broaden the reform program in five target areas: (i) improving the completeness, timelines, and transparency of local government shares in national revenues  (ii)deepening reforms in fiscal management, planning, and public expenditure management by enhancing efficiency and accountability in these areas  (iii) enhancing effectiveness and transparency in the delivery of critical public services at the local level  (iv) improving LGUs’ access to public and private sources of capital for financing policy reforms and development projects  and (v) reducing LGU dependency on the internal revenue allotment (IRA) by developing buoyant sources of revenues at the local level, thereby reducing fiscal pressure on the Government.  

Angat Water Transmission Improvement Project. The Project will secure raw water supply to the 13 million inhabitants of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) service area, through the rehabilitation of the Angat transmission line. It is estimated that currently each day about 800,000 cubic meter (m3) or 20% of the total potential capacity of raw water is lost  due to leakage of the aqueducts.  The main components of the Angat transmission line are as old as 50 years, in poor condition, and not in compliance with structural and seismic requirements, risking the partial interruption of Metro Manila's water supply. The proposed financing modality is a Project loan.  

Improving Growth Corridors in Mindanao Road Sector Project. The project will improve an estimated 280 kilometers (km) of national primary, secondary, and tertiary roads in Mindanao. The improvements will include paving earth roads, replacing damaged road sections, widening existing roads, adding surface overlays, and replacing and strengthening bridges. The project roads will be designed with features to strengthen resilience to climate change. Among the structural and non-structural features included are elevated pavement levels, enhanced slope protection, and improved maintenance of drainage structures. Road safety on these roads will be improved through road safety community awareness campaigns. The project will finance detailed engineering for improvement of another 300 km of national highways in Mindanao, to be implemented under future projects. The Government will determine the roads for which the detailed design will be prepared. The design will incorporate features to strengthen resilience to climate change.

The project will improve the institutional capacity of DPWH to make management of the transport sector more efficient and contribute to improved operations of the transport sector in Mindanao and nationwide. Strengthening of DPWH's institutional capacity will take place in regional offices and in headquarters.

This will allow the Government to protect its social spending and poverty reduction programs and objectives, and continue with its longer-term development objectives in 2009.  

COVID-19: Active Response and Expenditure Support Program. The CARES program, under the Countercyclical Support Facility COVID-19 Pandemic Response Option (CPRO) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will provide critically needed support to help the Government of the Philippines mitigate the severe health, social, and economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. ADB’s support will allow the government to undertake public expenditures that are essential for supporting vulnerable populations and curtailing spread of the disease.  

Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong) Project. The project provides $3 million grant under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) as emergency assistance to the Philippine Government in response to its appeal to the international community to provide humanitarian relief assistance, in the aftermath caused by Tropical Storm Washi (locally named Sendong) that swept across Northeastern Mindanao and Central Visayas from 16 to 18 December 2011, bringing heavy rains that caused massive flooding, flashfloods and landslides. The worst affected areas are Cagayan de Oro City (Misamis Oriental), Iligan City (Lanao del Norte), Dumaguete City and Valencia municipality (Negros Oriental). The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) estimates that as of 21  December 2011, 65,067 families or 348,749 people, covering 319 barangays in 31 municipalities and eight cities in 13 provinces have been directly affected by Tropical Storm Washi. Of this number, 49,441 families or 276,400 people are either sheltered in 60 evacuation centers, billeted with relatives or in makeshift structures. NDRMMC has reported that the death toll has reached 1,009 with 46 missing and 1,603 injured. The number of damaged houses is reported at 12,131 of which 3,581 were totally destroyed while the estimated cost of damages to infrastructure, agriculture and school buildings amounts to Php 999.9 million ($23 million).  

Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility, Second Additional Financing. The proposed second additional financing will continue scaling up the scope of the ongoing project, comprising the original project and the first additional financing, to respond to the government's new investment needs, including to scale up climate action. The project aligns with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028 and extends its benefits by boosting project readiness and accelerating development of low-carbon and climate resilient public infrastructure projects. The second additional financing, together with the ongoing project, will (i) support the project preparation and improve the quality of priority sovereign financing infrastructure project proposals for government approval  (ii) accelerate early project implementation following government approval through feasibility studies and detailed engineering design (DED), particularly for complex and large-scale infrastructure projects that require international expertise  (iii) strengthen the capacity of the implementing agencies, including the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to implement infrastructure projects  and (iv) centralize climate change considerations in the implementation of infrastructure projects by embedding climate-resilient design and prioritizing projects to support the Philippines' Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and national adaptation priorities.  

Competitive and Inclusive Agriculture Development Program (Subprogram 2). The program aims to increase the competitiveness and inclusiveness of the agriculture sector by (i) implementing agricultural trade policy and regulatory reforms, (ii) enhancing public services and finance for the sector, and (iii) increasing social protection to rural families who may be affected by the reforms.  

SME Development Support. A partial credit guarantee (PCG) facility of P1 billion, a $25 million equivalent loan guaranteed by the Republic of the Philippines to the Small Business Guarantee and Finance Corporation, and an equity investment of up to $1 million in a proposed credit information bureau that was to be established by the government. These facilities were part of ADB’s Small and Medium Enterprise Development Support Project.  

Local Government Financing and Budget Reform Program Cluster (Subprogram 1). Given  the  many  issues  facing  the  Philippine  LGU (Local Government Unit)  sector,  a  focused  and  consolidated  program  is  required  to  respond  to  them.  The  Program  must  first  help  ensure  the  availability  of  resources.  The  LGFBR (Local Government Financing and Budget Reform)  Program  (i)  facilitates  an  augmented,  dependable,  and  timely  flow  of  resources  that  the  LGUs  are  legally  entitled  to  as  well  as  facilitating  other  means  of  financing  through public and private channels  (ii) facilitates local revenue generation  (iii) addresses the capacity  development  needs  of  LGUs  in  planning,  expenditure  management,  and  efficient  procurement  for  better  service  delivery   and  (iv)  improves  monitoring  systems  by  making  the  financial  and  service  delivery  performance  of  LGUs  more  transparent.  

Domestic Resource Mobilization Program (Subprogram 1). Domestic resource mobilization (DRM) constitutes a critical fiscal strategy for the Government of the Philippines to usher in post–coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic economic recovery and sustainable financing of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The proposed program will help the government achieve its DRM plan by (i) enhancing DRM policies and legal frameworks, (ii) modernizing tax administration through digital transformation, and (iii) strengthening international tax cooperation and exchange of information. The program is anchored in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023‒2028.2 A programmatic approach is adopted, with two subprograms during 2021‒2025. A programmatic approach enables the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to address the complex and challenging DRM issues systematically, building upon ADB’s past engagement with the Philippines’ tax reform since 2016 through project lending and technical assistance (TA) (figure). The program recognizes that DRM reforms necessitate not only raising revenue, but also designing a revenue system that fosters inclusiveness, encourages good governance, promotes investments and job creation, reduces inequality, and tackles climate change.  

Typhoon Odette Emergency Response Project. On 16-17 December 2021, Typhoon Rai (local name Odette) brought torrential rains, extreme winds, landslides, and storm surges across the Philippines. It made nine landfalls in the provinces of Surigao del Norte (including the island of Siargao), Dinagat Islands, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Palawan before exiting in the West Philippines Sea. The first landfall was in northeastern Mindanao carrying winds up to 270 kilometers per hour (km/h) with maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h near the center, making it the strongest storm to make landfall in the Philippines in 2021. While some local government units carried out preemptive evacuations, this was not possible for most of the affected areas as the typhoon strengthened by 85 miles per hour, or from a Category 1 to 5 typhoon, in just 24 hours.

Urgent needs are food and non-food items, clean water and sanitation facilities, shelter, hygiene kits, medical supplies, and restoration of livelihoods. Many of the affected provinces are islands, which presents particular challenges: Transport infrastructure including ports, ferry docks, and runways, and power and information and telecommunication infrastructure have been destroyed  and the resulting lack of access and communication challenges have complicated the relief and recovery efforts. In addition to the immediate needs, medium-term recovery needs include the rebuilding of homes and community infrastructure, restoration of electricity and water and sanitation infrastructure, and support for damaged businesses and agriculture.

On 21 December 2021, President Rodrigo Duterte declared a state of calamity in areas affected by Typhoon Odette (Mimaropa - Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and CARAGA). The government, through the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Defense, and Department of Finance (DOF), is leading the humanitarian response with support from UN agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), private sector, and other development and humanitarian partners in the country. The government's work focuses on overall management of the evacuation, evacuation facilities, transportation of more vulnerable affected groups to the evacuation facilities, removal of debris, provision of essential services to the affected population, rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure, and provision of medical services. DSWD reported that, as of 29 January 2022, a total of Php1 billion ($19.89 million) worth of assistance has been provided to affected families through pooled funds from DSWD, local government units, CSOs, and other partners (of which, Php757.5 million from DSWD). Standby funds from the Quick Response Fund are available in the amount of Php1.18 billion ($23.17 million) at the DSWD-Central Office and Php73.95 million ($1.45 million) at DSWD-Field Offices.  

Emergency Assistance for Reconstruction and Recovery of Marawi. The emergency assistance (ERRM) is structured to provide the GoP with immediate and flexible financing to implement programs, projects and activities included in the Bangon Marawi Comprehensive Rehabilitation and Recovery Program.  

Integrated Flood Resilience and Adaptation Project - Phase 1. The Integrated Flood Resilience and Adaptation Project - Phase 1 (the project) will reduce climate risks and enable climate adaptation in three major river basins (the Abra River basin in Luzon, and the Ranao [Agus] and Tagum-Libuganon river basins in Mindanao), with a focus on addressing flood risk. The project will enhance flood and climate change resilience by (i) improving strategic flood risk management planning, (ii) constructing flood protection infrastructure, and (iii) strengthening community-based flood risk management.  

Senior High School Support Program. The SHSSP will support the development during 2014–2015 of senior high school (SHS) in the Philippines and the implementation of the SHS program during 2016–2019.  

Financial Market Regulation and Intermediation Program - Subprogram 2. Output 1: Enhanced Financial Sector Stability. To mitigate the immediate effects of the crisis, the government has enacted a number of measures to strengthen its ability to assure the stability of the financial sector and to reduce systemic risk. The central bank, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), adopted measures to provide additional liquidity to the banking sector and enhanced its ability to serve as a lender of last resort by doubling the peso rediscounting facility to P60 million, as well as opening a US dollar repurchase facility. BSP also submitted proposed amendments to Congress to strengthen its monetary policy framework, including a mandate to carry out open market operations of BSP bills. In addition, congress doubled the deposit insurance ceiling to P500,000 and granted the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) additional powers, including the flexibility to adjust the maximum deposit insurance ceiling in times of systemic stress and to exclude deposits from the deposit insurance coverage scheme in cases of fraud or abuse. PDIC also established a mechanism to build up and maintain an adequate deposit insurance fund (DIF) and has approved a resolution for submission to Congress in support of legislation to establish bridge banking and other resolution methodologies. The Philippines has completed a Financial Sector Assessment Program and, under subprogram 2, the BSP, PDIC, and SEC have begun implementing corrective actions to address financial sector risks as well as regulatory and structural bottlenecks identified in the assessment. The BSP and PDIC have combined their efforts to encourage industry consolidation. The Strengthening Program for Rural Banks was launched with P5 billion in funding to provide incentives for weaker rural banks to merge with stronger rural banks. The PDIC board also approved the investor-investee framework, which is an electronic matching system intended to facilitate mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation among banks. To enhance financial sector stability and reduce systemic risk, the Department of Finance (DOF) has strengthened its capacity for public debt management and has prepared a needs assessment for its newly established Debt and Risk Management Division. The division subsequently prepared a draft public debt management strategy for FY2011 as well as a debt sustainability assessment for fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

Output 2: Strengthened Financial Sector Regulatory Oversight. Under subprogram 2, measures were implemented to improve interagency coordination and sharing of information, and to strengthen regulatory oversight functions in the financial sector. The enforcement powers of the PDIC were strengthened and the SEC enhanced its capacity for market surveillance. Subprogram 2 addresses the long-standing governance weaknesses of the SEC and the Insurance Commission by sequencing reforms over the medium to long term, with the primary objective of lifting the capacity of the two agencies toward a par with the other financial sector regulators (i.e., BSP and PDIC). Subprogram 2 also promotes greater integration and coordination between the different regulators, with the goal of establishing a highly coordinated financial sector regulatory and surveillance framework to enhance the conduct of micro and macro prudential supervision. Memorandums of understanding setting out the working relationship of the regulators in the Financial Stability Forum (FSF) have been signed. Standing committees have been established to address standardization of supervision and risk measurement across regulators, as well as for optimizing the regulatory architecture. BSP has just issued its third Financial Sector Stability Report. Subprogram 2 initially anticipates supporting the internal efforts of the FSF to strengthen early warning systems, and promoting better coordination and communication. Subprogram 2 will strengthen coordination between BSP and the PDIC with regard to the examination of problematic banks to lessen the risk to the DIF. Congress amended the PDIC charter to grant the agency the authority to adopt a new or revised organizational structure and to provide enhanced legal protection for its staff. The PDIC may now conduct special examinations in coordination with BSP when there are threats of bank closures, and may examine deposit accounts in cases of unsafe and unsound practices. Congress further granted the PDIC the authority to rescind splitting of deposits within 120 days before bank closure. This authority is expected to enhance stability and to contain losses to the DIF arising out of high rate deposit promotions that have been used to forestall the timely resolution of problem banks. The extension of examination authority to deposit accounts in specified situations is also expected to curtail the use of high rate deposit promotions to fund fraudulent or other improper activities.

Subprogram 2 places the SEC under the DOF s administrative authority, which should strengthen the SEC s ability to pursue reforms. The DOF, in consultation with the SEC, produced and endorsed an action plan for restructuring the SEC. This plan identified the core responsibilities of the SEC and recommended arrangements to deal with non-core responsibilities. It also identified organizational structures, staffing complements and skill sets, and pay scales. Finally, the plan will identify a funding mechanism to ensure the eventual administrative and fiscal autonomy of the agency. In the interim, the government (Department of Budget and Management [DBM]) raised the SEC s proposed 2011 general budget appropriation to accommodate the priority recommendations of the action plan, as committed to higher resources in the DBM s forward estimates, until an independent, self-funding mechanism can be established. The DOF, in consultation with the Insurance Commission, will produce an action plan for restructuring the Insurance Commission. This plan will contain recommendations regarding restructuring the agency to address the organizational structure as well as staff size, skills, and remuneration. As with the SEC, recommendations will be provided to establish a funding mechanism to ensure ongoing administrative and fiscal autonomy. Completion and implementation of the action plan will be monitored under the P3F.

Output 3: Improved Efficiency and Liquidity in Securities Markets. To develop an efficient and liquid secondary market, the SEC defined the guidelines for the over-the-counter market, which included the requirement for a central trade reporting system. This effectively provides for price discovery of the bilateral transactions that define the over-the-counter market, aligning it with the data capture and reporting standards used in exchange-based markets. Subsequently, the SEC approved listing requirements and trading rules of the designated selfregulatory organization, effectively providing an enabling environment for trading in corporate bonds on the fixed-income exchange. To stimulate secondary trading and accelerate the pace of capital market development, Congress enacted a permanent stamp duty exemption for secondary trading of listed companies. Several enabling laws were passed,  including the Personal Equity Retirement Account Act, 2008, which creates a tax-free personal retirement account, and the Law on Real Estate Investment Trusts, 2009, which is expected to act as a stimulus to capital market development by providing a method to increase investor participation in the real estate market. Together, these acts should stimulate demand for both investment products and professional investment management. Implementing regulations for the Personal Equity Retirement Act are expected to include a requirement for formal training and licensing of investment professionals similar to the Series license in the United States. Finally, the Credit Information System Act  

COVID-19: Competitive and Inclusive Agriculture Development Program (Subprogram 1). The program will support the implementation of key policy and institutional reforms, particularly the Rice Tarrification Act and its associated reforms and programs. As the reforms are wide and deep in their impact, it is important that the government will continue to earn support to the reforms from the people of the Philippines.  

Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Project. The project provides $3 million grant under the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF) as emergency assistance to the Philippine Government in response to its appeal to the international community to provide humanitarian relief assistance, in the aftermath caused by a Category 5 Typhoon Haiyan (locally named Yolanda) that made its first landfall in Guiuan municipality in Eastern Samar province on 8 November 2013, and further moved and made subsequent landfalls over Toloso municipality south of Tacloban City in Leyte province, Daanbantayan and Bantayan Island in Cebu province, Concepcion in Iloilo province, the Calamian Group of Islands, and Busuanga in Palawan. Haiyan is the third Category 5 "super typhoon" to hit the Philippines since 2010, and possibly the strongest to ever hit land. United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team described the scale of destruction in Tacloban alone as comparable to the impact of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

The detailed situation update issued by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council on 12 November 2013 indicated that over 1,774 people are known to have lost lives, 2,487 are injured and 82 are still missing. Overall, a total of 1,387,446 families (6,937,229 people) have been affected in 7,488 barangays in 39 provinces of nine regions across the Philippines. A total of 582,303 people are currently displaced, with 319,867 persons in 1,135 evacuation centers and 262,436 outside the centers. On 9 November, the Government accepted the offer of international assistance through a letter to the United Nations Resident Coordinator. On 11 November, the Government declared a state of national calamity in order to speed up the relief efforts.  

Epifanio de los Santos Avenue Greenways Project. The project aims to improve pedestrian environment in four areas along with Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA). The current pedestrian facilities on EDSA is poorly designed and pedestrians are suffered from the unsafe and uncomfortable pedestrian environment. The elevated walkways will be connected to railway stations and help promoting use of public transportation. The project will build a total of 5-kilometers (km) of elevated walkways in four areas, including the construction of new footbridges, replacement or widening of existing footbridges. The elevated walkways will be covered to protect pedestrians from sunlight and rains. Elevators will be attached to the elevated walkways to address the needs of the elderly, persons with disability (PWDs), and people traveling with small children.  

Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) National Community-Driven Development Project. The project will support the implementation of the government's KALAHI CIDSS- National Community-Driven Development Project (KC-NCDDP) to restore basic social services and rebuild communities affected by Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan).

The impact will be improved resiliency of poor communities to natural hazards. The outcome will be improved access to services and infrastructure for communities in affected provinces and their participation in more inclusive local disaster risk reduction and management planning, budgeting, and implementation.

The outputs are (i) community-driven development subprojects selected, implemented, and completed  (ii) institutional and organizational capacity strengthened  and (iii) program management and monitoring and evaluation systems enhanced.  

Agrarian Reform Communities Project II. The Project will support the Government's Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) 2004-2010. It will pursue a holistic approach to poverty reduction by promoting an agribusiness approach to rural development. It will assist the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by addressing the most pressing requirements for support in 152 agrarian reform communities (ARCs) and ARC Clusters in 19 provinces in southern Philippines.  

The long-term impact of the Project is to enable ARB households and other sections of the rural poor in approximately 152 selected ARCs and ARC Clusters (ARC Clusters will include target ARCs and ARBs and other farmers in adjacent areas) in 19 provinces (the provinces to be covered include Romblon, Marinduque, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, Negros Oriental, Leyte, Eastern Samar, Northern Samar, Western Samar, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Shariff Kabunsuan, Maguindanao, Lanao Del Sur, Tawi Tawi, Basilan, and Sulu) to reduce their poverty, and have sustained improvements in their incomes and quality of life. 

In order to achieve these impacts, the Project is expected to bring about long lasting improvements in the capabilities and well being of poor and marginalized groups in the target communities. In order to achieve the above outcomes of poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods, the Project will support the following outputs: (i) strong participation of local communities in the development process by the (a) enhancement of social capital among target communities through the use of a CDD approach, (b) detailed participatory ARC planning based on participation by the rural poor, as well as (c) improved capacity of ARC organizations and LGUs, for better governance and convergence in the provision of support services to target communities  (ii) agri enterprise development (AED)including (a) transfer of technology, (b) greater entrepreneurship among ARC organizations, (c) linkages between the private sector and corporate entities and ARC organizations, for increased investments into rural areas for growth, (d) wider prevalence of community based savings and lending groups for setting up sustainable micro-finance services among communities, (e)  Land Tenure Improvement to improve security of land titles, enable investments into productivity enhancements, (iii) improved access to rural infrastructure, designed to provide a boost to improved production and productivity, and crop intensification  and (iv) improved project management.  

Local Governance Reform Project. The project will help the Government of the Philippines boost local government revenue mobilization to improve local public service delivery and strengthen local governance. The focus will be on improvements to the administration of the real property tax (RPT) and on management reforms.  

Fostering Women's Empowerment Through Financial Inclusion in Conflict-Impacted and Lagging Provinces Project. Multi-tranche loan/investment in bonds, up to $30 million1 (in PHP equivalent) for supporting micro-housing and business-enterprise micro-loans in conflict affected and poorer parts of the Philippines  

Mactan-Cebu International Passenger Terminal Project. The Project involves the expansion of passenger terminals at Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) (the Project), a priority PPP project of the government. This airport is the second largest airport in the Philippines and serves as the southern hub of the air transportation system in the country. MCIA is located on Mactan Island, Cebu Province, Central Visayas region. The components of the Project include (i) construction of a new passenger terminal  (ii) rehabilitation of the existing terminal  (iii) construction of an apron for the new passenger terminal  and (iv) operation, maintenance  and management of the new and old passenger terminals.  Upon completion, the project will increase the capacity of the airport to 8 million passengers annually.  At present the existing terminal building, which has a capacity of only 4.5 million passengers annually, has been operating at over-capacity with almost 7 million passengers going through the terminal in 2013.  

COVID-19: Second Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The proposed loan to the Republic of the Philippines for the Second Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (HEAL 2). Under the rapid response component (RRC) of the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX), will provide the Government of the Philippines with timely financing for safe and effective vaccine procurement and logistics, based on an agreed list of eligible expenditures. It will supplement the initial support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the government's coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response under the Health System Enhancement to Address and Limit COVID-19 (HEAL) project. HEAL 2 is aligned with three operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030: (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities  (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality  and (iii) fostering regional cooperation and integration.

The Philippines has met all APVAX access criteria by (i) demonstrating the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic  (ii) completing a needs assessment and a vaccination allocation and prioritization plan, including an incremental medical waste management plan and procurement arrangements acceptable to ADB, with ADB's receipt of a Governor's letter confirming its commitment to implement the plan and ensure compliance with the APVAX vaccine eligibility criteria  and (iii) establishing an effective development partner coordination mechanism with a clear role for ADB  

ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF THE MASINLOC COAL- FIRED THERMAL POWER PLANT. ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF THE MASINLOC COAL- FIRED THERMAL POWER PLANT. The Masinloc power plant is a pulverized coal-fired power plant with a designed net capacity of 600 MW located in the town of Masinloc in Zambales province. It is about 250 kilometers (km) northwest of Metro Manila, 110 km northwest of Subic Bay and 30 km north of the provincial capital, Iba. The plant has two 300 MW generating units, which were constructed in phases by Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan under turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction contracts. Each unit has an identical drum-type force recirculation boiler supplied by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). The steam turbine and generator systems were also supplied by MHI and the electrical generators were supplied by Mitsubishi Electric. The plant’s onsite facilities include storage tanks for fuel oil, potable and raw water supply, a water-treatment plant, a coal stockyard, a coal crusher house, ash-handling and storage facilities, and the central control building.

ADB provided a public sector loan to NPC of $197 million approved on 13 October 1990 for the construction of unit 1, and another public sector loan of $162 million and a partial credit guarantee of Y12 billion approved on 2 November 199526 to cover additional costs of unit 1, construction of unit 2, and associated transmission facilities and activities. Unit 1 was completed at a total cost of $520 million and began commercial operations on 18 June 1998. Unit 2 was completed at a total cost of $167 million and began commercial operations on 10 December 1998. The plant has been operated to date by NPC. Power from the plant is transmitted to Metro Manila through the northern Luzon transmission corridor. ADB conducted a project performance audit review in May 200227 and concluded that the construction of the Masinloc plant was highly relevant to help address the country’s severe power shortages. Although implementation was delayed, the plant was seen as providing least-cost generation of electricity and at that time was deemed to be maintained in a satisfactory condition.

More recent data, however, indicate that the operating performance of the plant has declined since 2001 because of inadequate maintenance and insufficient capital investments in anticipation of the planned privatization. During 2001–2006, utilization of the Masinloc plant decreased from 76% to 45%. Almost none of its systems can operate at full capacity because of poor maintenance. A lack of spare parts is a major concern for proper maintenance of the the plant. Unit 1 had a major overhaul in 2005 (the first since commercial operations began in 1998) but there has been no major overhaul of unit 2. The plant’s operations have been characterized by low capacity, poor availability, low reliability, and violations of environmental, health, and safety conditions. The plant’s emissions are unable to meet dust emission limits at any load.

Upon takeover, MPPC plans a 2-year rehabilitation of the plant. The current capacity utilization is only 45%, but MPPC aims to raise the net output to 600 MW after the rehabilitation and to run the plant at 89% capacity utilization in ordinary years and 87% in major maintenance years (every 6 years). MPPC is also confident that the heat rate can be improved. The plant’s useful life is 40 years upon acquisition and rehabilitation by MPPC.

The rehabilitation effort will focus on returning the existing plant systems to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, particularly the environment-related components of the plant. The plant was originally properly engineered and constructed to meet technical and environmental performance requirements and there is little technological or environmental performance risk involved in returning the facility to its OEM specifications. Major plant operating repairs will be carried out on the safety devices and systems, the ash collection and transport system, and the boiler feed pumps and forced circulation pump. Major OEMs including MHI have already visited the Masinloc plant since MPPC won the bid.  

Governance in Justice Sector Reform Program - Subprogram 2. The GJSRP was designed to address weaknesses in the judiciary and justice sector institutions that arise due in large part to inadequate resources—a situation exacerbated by weak financial management. The impact of subprogram 2 will be greater public trust and confidence in the justice system. The outcome will be a more efficient justice sector.  

CARD Promoting Access to Finance for Low-Income Microborrowers Project. A proposed senior unsecured loan in Philippine peso equivalent of up to $10,000,000 to the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development, Inc. (CARD) for the Promoting Access to Finance for Low-Income Microborrowers Project in the Philippines.  ADB's funding to CARD is to help increase access to finance of low-income women and extreme poor microborrowers in the Philippines.  

Inclusive Finance Development Program (Subprogram 1). The proposed program complements coordinated support by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to develop a resilient and inclusive finance sector. The program supports the government’s efforts to increase financial inclusion by (i) strengthening the institutional and policy environment, (ii) improving the financial infrastructure, and (iii) increasing the capacity and reach of service providers. The program is consistent with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–20221 and is included in ADB’s country operations business plan, 2018–2020.  

Social Protection Support Project (Additional Financing). The proposed additional financing will finance cash grants under the program’s nationwide expansion, which as of 2014 includes high school students aged 15–18 years old.  

Financial Market Regulation and Intermediation Program. The goal of the Financial Market Regulation and Intermediation Program (FMRIP) is to increase the contribution of the financial sector to economic growth and development of the Philippines by promoting a more efficient financial sector that can finance profitable private investment projects at lower cost and risk than at present. The FMRIP will support the Government’s financial sector reform agenda and development of capital markets and other nonbank financial services. The reform agenda is structured around policy outcomes mostly in line with the Government’s Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) 2004–2010. The policy measures include a set of financial sector reforms to promote diversification of financial channels, and enhance transparency and efficiency in intermediation. Subprogram 1 will aim to (i) reduce financial sector vulnerabilities, and increase the depth and diversity of financial intermediation through improved resolution of banks and stronger NBFIs  (ii) strengthen investor confidence with improved regulation, governance, and transparency  and (iii) improve operational efficiency of the securities market. Subprogram 1 supports the Government’s financial sector reform agenda, with a focus on development of capital markets and other nonbank services.  

Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project. The project will address unsustainable watershed management in four priority river basins of the country. The project will be implemented as a sector loan to institutionalize effective watershed management regimes in four upper river basins (URBs) that can be replicated across the country. The four URBs are (i) Chico River Basin in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Northern Luzon island, (ii) Wahig-Inabanga on the island of Bohol, (iii) Lake Lanao Basin in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and Upper Bukidnon River Basin in Bukidnon (the latter two on the island of Mindanao).  

Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility (Additional Financing). The additional financing of Infrastructure Preparation and Innovation Facility Project (IPIF) will extend the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the Government of the Philippines under the current project to meet the government's accelerated infrastructure development objectives. The additional financing, together with the current project, will support project preparation and improve the infrastructure project management capacity of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The project will build on the current project to (i) improve the quality of priority infrastructure project proposals for approval by the Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)  (ii) accelerate early project implementation following ICC approval through detailed engineering design (DED) and tendering support, with a focus on complex and large projects requiring international expertise  and (iii) strengthen the government's capacity to implement projects under the DOTr and DPWH.  

Emergency Assistance for Relief and Recovery from Typhoon Yolanda. The emergency assistance loan (EAL) supports the Government of the Philippines’ fiscal response to meet additional public spending needs under its recovery program for areas affected by Typhoon Yolanda. The emergency assistance will help the government mitigate the impact of the typhoon on poverty incidence in the Visayas, a group of islands in the center of the country. The EAL will provide $500 million in immediate short-term financial support to the government to meet its additional financing gap linked to new spending initiatives under the Yolanda Recovery and Rehabilitation Plan and other disaster-related public expenditures.  

Market Transformation through Introduction of Energy-Efficient Electric Vehicles Project. The project will replace gasoline tricycles (motorcycles with a passenger sidecar) with three wheel plug-in electric vehicles running on an electric motor and rechargeable battery (e-trikes). The project will initiate a transformation of the tricycle subsector by: (i) improving the livelihoods of tricycle drivers through higher incomes and a better work environment  (ii) generating global environmental benefits and reducing the carbon footprint of the tricycle industry through the introduction of low-carbon e-trike technology  and (iii) leveraging private sector participation in the e-trike market.  

Integrated Coastal Resources Management. The long-term goals of the Project are enhanced coastal resources and reduced poverty among municipal fisherfolks. The Project purpose is sustainable management and conservation of coastal resources and increased income for coastal communities.  

Davao Public Transport Modernization Project. The project will establish a modern public bus transport system in Davao City, the third largest city in the Philippines, with modern electric buses and Euro-5 standard diesel buses, standardized operations and reliable timetables, an intelligent transport system to support bus operation, designated bus stops with shelters and lighting, and designated bus lanes in selected road sections. The project is part of the efforts of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to improve the public transport system in the Philippines by creating a reliable, safe, and comfortable passenger experience and by reducing air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. The system will (i) establish bus operation concession arrangements, engaging private bus operators with performance-based contracts  (ii) rationalize about 670 km of bus routes from more than 120 PUJ routes currently into about 30 routes, with four levels (i.e., metro Davao, Davao inter, Davao feeder, and Davao local), which will carry about 800,000 passengers per day  (iii) procure about 1,100 more energy-efficient buses that will be leased out to bus operators, of which 380 will be articulated electric buses to service metro Davao routes, while small and regular-sized Euro-5 standard diesel buses will service other bus routes  (iv) construct about 1,000 bus stops along bus corridors with shelters to protect passengers from the weather  (v) construct five bus depots and three bus terminals, and establish a bus driving school  (vi) implement minor road improvements, including identifying designated bus lanes for selected road sections, creating queue-jump lanes for buses, building pedestrian crossings near bus stops, and improving sidewalks near bus stops  and (vii) establish an ITS including bus priority traffic signaling  a bus operation control center  automatic fare collection system  and Wi-Fi connection in buses, terminals and depots, and other public waiting areas.The project will not only create an efficient, reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly public transport system, but will also incorporate the Philippines' first ever just transition program for affected people by providing a comprehensive social development program.  

Increasing Competitiveness for Inclusive Growth Program (Subprogram 2). The program supports the government's key reform priorities aimed at employment generation by increasing competitiveness in the economy with an inclusive approach through the labor market. The structural reform priorities include efforts to enhance the business climate by promoting competition policy, regulatory efficiency, competitive logistics, and private sector participation in infrastructure projects through public-private partnerships (PPPs). The program also supports the government in promoting competitive labor markets by piloting a youth employment program to empower young people to find decent jobs (known as JobStart Philippines) and a tourism-industry-led skills and services development program, and through longer-term labor policy reforms.  

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Malolos-Clark Railway Project-Tranche 1. The project will support the construction of two sections, totaling 53.1 kilometers (km), of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR), a 163 km suburban railway network connecting the regional center of Clark in Central Luzon with Metro Manila and Calamba, Laguna.

COVID-19: Emergency Response. The proposed activities - largely emergency medical supplies and other initial support required for dealing with the crisis - to be financed by the requested Asia Pacific Disaster
Response Fund (APDRF) align with WHO's Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-195 which the Philippine government has also adopted, and the Philippines' National
Contingency Plan for COVID-19 which the government is now finalizing. Specifically, one of the plan's response strategy emphasizes scaling up country readiness and response operations by strengthening national capacity for detection, equipping and training national rapid-response teams, infection prevention and control among health workers, and ensuring case management and continuity of essential health services, among others.
Given the urgency of the required support and the government?s constrained human resources, the Department of Finance has requested ADB to facilitate procurement of the required medical supplies and equipment. ADB will use the most flexible and expeditious procurement approaches, including those specified in the Implementation Guidelines for the Asia Pacific Disaster Response Facility and consistent with paras. 16-17 of Operations Manual Section D7/OP for disaster and emergency assistance. The grant agreement will reflect the specific arrangements.  

Build Universal Health Care Program (Subprogram 2). Subprogram 2 builds on government efforts to implement the three key reform areas of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act of 2019: (i) sustainable financing and strategic purchasing, (ii) integrated delivery of quality health services, and (iii) information management and performance accountability. The programmatic approach will support systematic national and local implementation of health policy reforms.  

Social Protection Support Project (Second Additional Financing). The SPSP-AF II will support the government's efforts to provide unconditional emergency cash assistance (ECA) to the poor and vulnerable households which have been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and the associated declaration of community quarantine announced in several parts of the Philippines since 15 March 2020. The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, or Republic Act No. 11469 (Bayanihan Law), which was signed into law on 24 March 2020, empowers the government to provide an ECA of P5,000-P8,000 per month for 2 months to around 18 million low-income households / families nationwide. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the local government units have been designated as the key agencies through which the ECA will be delivered. The SPSP-AF II will build on the decade-long support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the government's Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), which provides conditional cash transfers (CCTs) to improve the health and education of nearly 4.28 million households nationwide. This proposed EAL will fund part of the ECA to these 4Ps households so that they can cope with the unfolding economic, health, and social costs of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Credit for Better Health Care Project. To help achieve health-related MDGs of the Philippines, the Project will address low and inefficient public expenditures in health care by mobilizing additional off-budget credit for pro-poor investment through a government financial intermediary, leveraging private participation, and improving allocation toward investment priorities. These priorities include (i) maternal and child health services, (ii) control of communicable diseases, (iii) services to improve access to basic health care, and (iv) referral services including laboratory and other diagnostic services. The Project will support DBP’s Sustainable Health Care Investment Program, a credit facility established in 2007 to support the health sector reform agenda and implementation framework—Fourmula One for Health (F1)—of the Department of Health (DOH). The credit facility is available to local government units (LGUs), and the private sector through two windows (i) direct retail lending for LGUs and larger private sector subborrowers, and (ii) wholesale lending to accredited financial intermediaries (microfinance intermediaries, rural and thrift banks) for small private subborrowers. The Investment Program is financed from DBP’s own resources and supplementary funds of development partners, and supports both capital investments and working capital. The Project’s outputs are (i) upgraded LGU health services, (ii) more efficient health delivery systems through public–private partnership (PPP) and innovative strategies, (iii) improved access to small-scale private providers, and (iv) enhanced institutional capacity for health sector lending.  

Social Protection Support Project.

The program will raise incomes and reduce poverty by boosting investment and economic growth and will support the government’s post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recovery. The program will also provide workers, including informal workers, with the ability to accrue retirement savings, reducing intergenerational and old age poverty.  

COVID-19: Post-COVID-19 Business and Employment Recovery Program - Subprogram 1. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented and potentially long-term impact on the labor market in the Philippines. Although the unemployment rate has eased since peaking in April 2020, the labor market recovery remains uneven and emerging new jobs appear to be of lower quality. In response, on 1 May 2021, the government launched the National Employment Recovery Strategy (NERS), 20212022 to improve access to employment, livelihood, and training opportunities and to support existing and emerging businesses to create sustainable employment opportunities in light of the pandemic-induced job losses. The program will help the government implement the NERS and aims to achieve key targets (highlighted in the box). The program adopts a programmatic approach using policy-based loans for two subprograms to support sustainable business and labor market recovery in the post-pandemic era. Subprogram 1 establishes the foundation of the program through amendments to key legislation and pilot initiatives. Subprogram 2 will focus on the implementation and expansion of these reforms, so that they form a permanent part of the national job creation framework.  

Encouraging Investment through Capital Market Reforms Program, Subprogram 2.

Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) - Small and Medium Enterprise Investment Program Tranche 3 (Additional Financing). On 15 December 2014, ADB approved the tranche 3 project (Tranche 3), a $130 million financial intermediation loan from ADB's ordinary capital resources, based on the periodic financing request received from the Government of Kazakhstan on 31 October 2014. The borrower, as in previous tranches, is Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund (Damu), the government entity tasked with SME development. The loan will be guaranteed by the Republic of Kazakhstan. The internal processes to obtain the sovereign guarantee for this project have not yet finalized. Thus, the legal agreements for the Tranche 3 loan have not been executed to date and, accordingly, the loan has not yet been declared effective. Given the deteriorating conditions for SME financing, Damu has requested $98 million additional financing for Tranche 3, bringing the overall Tranche amount to $228 million. Deposit dollarization has continued rising, going from 46% at the end of September 2014 to over 56% at the end of January 2015 fueled by fears of a new currency devaluation against the backdrop of the Russian crisis. Commercial banks continue to have a shortage of tenge liquidity and have stopped lending in local currency to SMEs. The Government has made an urgent call to SME development agencies like Damu to raise funding from donors to support SME lending, given the budgetary constraints exacerbated by the decline in the price of oil and the Russian crisis.  

Promoting Gender Equality in Housing Finance Project. 1. The project is aligned with the following impact: gender equity promotion and sustainable economic growth achieved.  The project will have the following outcome: acquisition and renovation of housing units by women increased.

The proceeds will be used to finance socially and environmentally sustainable projects, which include (i) the construction or expansion of RMG factories that meet the high structural, fire, and electrical safety standards required by the accord or the alliance  and (ii) improvement of existing factories to meet any of the above standards. The loan will also fund construction of wastewater and ETPs in the industry sector, primarily in the textile and garment industry.  

Coastal Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Project. This project is proposed under the Government of Bangladesh's Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR), prepared under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). The PPCR is a part of the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) within the Climate Investment Funds (CIF), to pilot and demonstrate ways to mainstream climate resilience in development planning and management. The SPCR was approved by the PPCR Sub-committee on 10 November 2010. Led by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, proposed investments in the Bangladesh SPCR will focus on improving coastal embankments, rural connectivity, water supply and sanitation, promoting public-private financing, and capacity building for mainstreaming climate resilience, and knowledge management. As one of the projects approved for enhanced climate resilience under the SPCR, the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Improvement in Coastal Zone Project will improve livelihoods in the rural coastal districts vulnerable to climate variability and change.  

COVID-19: Supporting Post-COVID-19 Small-Scale Employment Creation. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, government's efforts took on increased urgency and many short-term measures were put in place to provide immediate support for social protection and job protection. While most of the social protection measures were through direct cash or in-kind transfer and expansion of welfare programs, the support for industry and job protection will mostly be carried out through credit lines and liquidity support through financial sector. The total amount of credit lines, refinance programs, and credit protection schemes announced, has reached Tk1 trillion. But the retrenchment of the financial sector and capacity constraints present a challenge to deliver the funds timely and efficiently especially to reach certain highly vulnerable sectors.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Chittagong–Cox's Bazar Railway Project, Phase 1 (Tranche 3). The project supports the government in constructing the new 102-kilometer (km) Dohazari-Cox's Bazar section of the Chattogram-Cox's Bazar railway corridor in Southeastern Bangladesh. The multitranche financing facility (MFF) uses the time-slice financing approach for the large-scale project comprising civil works, equipment, goods, and consulting services. The project was fully appraised at the due diligence for the MFF appraisal. Under the first tranche, all procurement were completed and subsequent tranches continue to finance part of the project. Consulting services that were recruited at the beginning are to be financed only with the COL loan of Tranche 1. The attached technical assistance approved along with tranche 1 strengthens the capacity of Bangladesh Railway, the executing agency, on project implementation management, including safeguards management.  

Participatory Small-Scale Water Resources Sector Project. The Project builds on lessons from previous ADB investments in the small-scale (less than 1,000 hectare [ha]) water resources sector  specifically, the Small-Scale Water 
Resources Development Sector Project (SSW 1), which was implemented from 1996 to 2002 and developed 280 subprojects in the western part of the country. Also, the ongoing Second Small-Scale Water Resources Development Sector Project (SSW 2), which commenced in 2002 and is due to be completed in 2009. This has developed 275 subprojects
in 61 of 64 districts of Bangladesh. The Project will support the development of inclusive water management cooperative associations (WMCAS) that include landowners, land operators, women, fishers, and other vulnerable groups. The WMCAS should have sufficient social and technical capital to undertake small-scale water resources (SSWR) subprojects and to improve system operations. They should have clear financing partnerships and/or cost-sharing mechanisms so they can carry out sustainable maintenance. Within an enabling institutional framework, they should be capable of maximizing their collective potential to increase agriculture production in the subproject areas.

Second Teaching Quality Improvement in Secondary Education Project. With the approval of the National Education Policy (NEP), the government has embarked on a comprehensive reform process to strengthen access, quality, equity and relevance of education in Bangladesh. In 2011 a new phase of the primary education reform program started, with ADB as one of the key partners. The TQI-I and TQI-II projects are core building blocks to strengthen quality of secondary education in line with the reforms proposed in the NEP. Building on TQI-I achievements and gaps, TQI-II includes the following features to enhance teacher quality: (i) establishing partnerships between universities and teacher training colleges (TTCs) to enhance content and pedagogical knowledge of teachers and recognizing prior learning within an integrated teacher development framework  (ii) developing one of the TTCs as a center of excellence for teaching English  (iii) introducing teacher and head teacher competencies, and institutionalizing teacher classroom performance monitoring by head teachers  (iv) piloting computer aided learning to support the government's large investments envisaged in the use of computers and multi-media to enhance teaching and learning  (v) providing incentives to enhance inclusive education  and (vi) strengthening teaching and learning and equity by enhancing the use of innovation development fund.   
TQI-II will by developing a strengthened, integrated and more inclusive teacher education system, support improved learning outcomes in secondary education. TQI-II has the following four components: (i) strengthened teacher development and institutional and organizational capacity to ensure registration of all teachers, establishment of a robust accreditation system for quality assurance of training providers, and application of newly acquired knowledge by teachers  (ii) enhanced teacher training programs and delivery systems (pre-service, in-service and CPD) to ensure synergy of training programs to meet agreed teacher and head teacher competencies  (iii) targeted support for inclusive education to increase the proportion of female teachers and support for remedial teaching where student performance is low  and (iv) quality project management for effective implementation and effective monitoring and reporting.

Improving Computer and Software Engineering Tertiary Education Project. The proposed project will help the government improve and expand computer science and engineering and information technology (CSE/IT) programs in three selected universities to nurture graduates equipped with advanced knowledge and skills and entrepreneurial spirit. The project will provide cutting-edge education, research and start-up support facilities, quality curriculum design, and academic staffing aligned with international standards and industry requirements. It will introduce a competitive grant scheme to promote industry-relevant and interdisciplinary research and development (R&D) initiatives. The grant scheme will help the universities and industry partners develop new digital technology solutions for economic and social issues.  

Dhaka and Western Zone Transmission Grid Expansion Project. The proposed project builds upon ADB's strong and sustained work in the power sector of Bangladesh. Complementing the investment in the recently-approved Southwest Transmission Grid Expansion Project  and Rupsha 800-Megawatt Combined Cycle Power Plant in the southwest region, the project will focus on addressing some of the remaining deficiencies in the transmission system to enhance power transfer capacity to the load centers in the southern and western zones. These interventions will also strengthen in-country power transfer capacity for increased cross-border power trade with India. In addition, the project will develop the capacity of PGCB in financial management, and in drone utilization to improve operations efficiency. The project is aligned with the Energy Policy  of ADB and the priorities of ADB's country partnership strategy for Bangladesh, 2016-2020.  The project also supports operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030: (i) addressing poverty and inequality through modern energy access  (ii) tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience  (iii) accelerating progress in gender equality  and (iv) accelerating governance and institutional capacity.  

Padma Multipurpose Bridge Design Project (Supplementary Loan). The ongoing Padma Multipurpose Bridge Design Project is to develop the detailed design for the Padma bridge, which is one of the Bangladesh Government's top priority projects. The original TA loan for the Project was approved in Dec 2007 for Special Drawing Rights 11,179,000 ($17.6m equivalent). Apart from the initial delay to engage the design consultants, project implementation has been smooth with strong support from the Government and other development partners.

The ensuing investment project to construct the Padma bridge is included in the 2009-2011 country operations business plan for Bangladesh as a firm loan. Four major potential cofinanciers (ADB, IsDB, JICA, and WB) are involved in reviewing the Project's progress and developing the ensuing project.

The Project's cost overrun is mainly due to underestimation of the cost of the design consultant's inputs, including remuneration and cost of field surveys and studies.

The initial cost of the design consultant, arrived at by strictly following ADB's quality-based selection, was $2.3m higher than the estimate.

Since its mobilization in Feb 2009, the design consultant has carried out, as part of its terms of reference, a fresh assessment of the requirements for field surveys and studies to develop the detailed design. The original budget allocation under the design consultant's contract for these cost items is now considered to be grossly insufficient with a fund shortage of about $6.4m. Though the cost increase is significant, these surveys and studies are essential for preparing an engineering design with due consideration to economy, effectiveness, constructability, functionality, ease in operation and maintenance, and sustainability of the ensuing project.

The cost overrun, under the design consultant's contract, has been ongoing since January 2009. The Government requests that ADB continue to finance the cost overrun for the following reasons: (i) switching funding sources of an ongoing contract would disrupt the design consultant's activities, and may result in significant delay in completion of the detailed design  (ii) the Government does not have readily available funding to accommodate the identified cost increase  and (iii) without external financiers' involvement, lack of proper guidance in the appointment of specialized subconsultants to carry out the surveys and studies and the use of funds by the subconsultants could compromise the quality of these surveys and studies.  

Irrigation Management Improvement Project. The project is designed to realize the full production potential of large-scale irrigation schemes in Bangladesh. It will address the recurrent lack of sustainable management, operation, and maintenance (MOM) and increase water productivity by transferring MOM schemes to private operators and introducing innovative infrastructure modernization. The project will focus on modernizing the Muhuri Irrigation Project (MIP) in Chittagong division. It will also finance a feasibility study and detailed design for modernizing the Ganges-Kobadak Irrigation Project in Khulna division and the Teesta Irrigation Project in Rangpur division.  

Third Capital Market Development Program. The objective of the Third Capital Market Development Program (CMDP3) is the enhanced capacity and size of the capital market that is grounded on a strong legal and regulatory framework.  

Third Urban Governance and Infrastructure Improvement (Sector) Project. The project will strengthen urban governance and improve urban infrastructure and service delivery in 30 pourashavas (municipalities) in Bangladesh. Building upon the successful
implementation of earlier phases, the project will provide investment funds to pourashavas based on their governance performance. The project will develop towns with high growth
potential in an integrated and holistic way both in terms of governance and infrastructure with an aim at making them model towns of the country. In addition to the focused interventions to these towns, the project will roll out application of governance performance criteria linked with fund allocation to all class-A pourashavas in the country.

The proposed project will (i) upgrade about 110 kilometers (km) of Dhaka-Northwest corridor by 4-laning of the Joydebpur-Chandra-Tangail-Hatikamrul Road and (ii) improve 2 land ports at Benapole and Burimari. This trunk road section forms part of a major international road corridor. The project will also strengthen the capacity of the road sector. By increasing road capacity of a major international trade corridor and enhancing land port capacity, the project will not only boost the national economy but also facilitate subregional cooperation and increase trades.  

COVID-19: Response Emergency Assistance Project. The Project will support the Government of Bangladesh (the government) in addressing immediate and urgent needs for financial, logistical, and systemic support to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Project will support the procurement of equipment and supplies, the upgrading of health and testing facilities, and build system and community capacities for surveillance, prevention, and response to COVID-19.  

South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Integrated Trade Facilitation Sector Development Program. The proposed SDP will improve the volume, efficiency, predictability, and security of cross-border trade in Bangladesh, which will contribute to the national goals of accelerating growth with industrialization and trade, and expanding subregional trade and commerce. To achieve this, the SDP will introduce policy reforms and complement these with upgraded infrastructure at border crossing points (BCPs). The program part of the SDP will support policy reforms to help Bangladesh comply with the World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), and implement the Customs Modernization Strategic Action Plan, 2019-2022.  The program part will support three reform areas: (i) compliance of customs legal framework with international standards, (ii) improvement of cargo clearance processes, and (iii) strengthening the capacity of customs agencies. The PBL has two tranches: (i) tranche 1 involves formulating policies to strengthen regulatory and institutional arrangements, and capacities of customs agencies  and (ii) tranche 2 will implement the policies formulated under tranche 1. The project part of the SDP will upgrade infrastructure by (i) building integrated land customs stations (LCSs) and land ports (LPs)  (ii) installing facilities and equipment for customs clearance and cargo transshipment operations  and (iii) operationalizing the facilities following the improved regulatory and institutional arrangements supported under the program part at Akhaura, Sonamasjid, and Tamabil BCPs. The project part will also design central customs facilities in Dhaka, and integrated trade facilities at Bibirbazar, Birol, Darshana, Sheora, Sonahat, and Teknaf BCPs for future investments.  The SDP will contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation through climate-resilient infrastructure, streamlined cargo clearance processes, and facilitated transit arrangements.

Reliance Bangladesh Liquefied Natural Gas and Power Project. The proposed Project will include a natural gas fired power plant (CCPP). The 718 MW CCPP, utilizing re-gasified LNG (RLNG) as fuel, is proposed to be located on land allotted by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), in Meghnaghat, Narayanganj District. The project initially also included an LNG terminal located near Kutubdia Island but since ADB?s Board approval, the Project scope has been reduced. The project will only consist of the CCPP and the ADB loan and guarantee amounts will be reduced accordingly.  

Coastal Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Project. This project is proposed under the Government of Bangladesh's Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR), prepared under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR). The PPCR is a part of the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF)  within the Climate Investment Funds (CIF),  to pilot and demonstrate ways to mainstream climate resilience in development planning and management. The SPCR was approved by the PPCR Sub-committee on 10 November 2010. Led by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the World Bank and International Finance Corporation, proposed investments in the Bangladesh SPCR will focus on improving coastal embankments, rural connectivity, water supply and sanitation, promoting public-private financing, and capacity building for mainstreaming climate resilience, and knowledge management. As one of the projects approved for enhanced climate resilience under the SPCR, the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Improvement in Coastal Zone Project will improve livelihoods in the rural coastal districts vulnerable to climate variability and change.  

Chattogram Hill Tracts Inclusive and Resilient Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project.

1. Financing of the funding gap due to cost overrun in the Tongi-Bhairab Bazar Double Track subproject under the first tranche 
2. Rehabilitation of yards and extension of loops at different stations in the Darsana - Ishurdi - Sirajganj Bazar section  and
3. Upgrading of Signaling at 11 Stations between Ishurdi  and Darsana.
4. Supervision Consultancy Services  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport Corridor I (Bishkek-Torugart Road) Project 3. The CAREC Corridor 1 (Bishkek-Torugart Road) Project 3 (the project) will help the government improve the 60-km section from At Beit to Torugart at the People's Republic of China (PRC) border. Together with the ongoing improvement works in the other sections, it will enable all weather road travel between Bishkek and Kashi. Aside from the economic benefits of higher speeds and reliability, the better road geometry and protective structures resulting from the improvement will reduce the accidental toxic spill risk and material run-off from vehicles. These reductions will benefit the ecosystem of Chatyr Kul lake--a wetland of international significance and protected under the Ramsar convention. 

The project will also strengthen infrastructure management skills of government staff engaged in the road sector. This is an essential and natural complement to the capital investment. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided technical assistance for institutional strengthening and capacity building totaling nearly $6 million between 1996 and 2010. The World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development have more assistance programmed for 2011. These are short and one-off interventions. The project, in contract, supports a long-term, results oriented program of learning and development for government staff. It will result in better informed staff, equipped to champion strategies for reducing life cycle costs and improving user cost recovery.  

COVID-19: Pandemic Emergency Project. The project is aligned with the following impact: Mitigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak in Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz National Contingency Action Plan).  

Investment Climate Improvement Program - Subprogram 2. The Investment Climate Improvement Program, approved by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2008, follows a programmatic approach and envisages three subprograms to assist the government in creating conditions for sustainable economic growth and employment-generating investments.  Subprogram 1, implemented in 2007-2008, included a policy-based grant, a project grant supporting the development of information technology systems for effective implementation of reforms, and a TA grant to help prepare subprogram 2. Preparation and implementation of subprogram 2 has also benefited from and reinforced other interventions.  The reforms supported under subprogram 2 build on the achievements made under subprogram 1 despite difficult political and external conditions. They address binding constraints to private sector development and diversification in the areas of business regulation and taxation, access to finance, worker skills development, and public-private partnerships (PPPs). The relevance of these constraints has been confirmed through recent studies and surveys, which explain some deviations from the constraints originally identified in 2008. Subprogram 2 is effectively gender mainstreamed to maximize benefits to women. The reform agenda that remains after subprogram 2 will be addressed under subprogram 3.
 
Subprogram 2 complements the efforts of (i) ADB and other development partners to strengthen physical infrastructure and improve access to finance  and (ii) the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to rebuild fiscal buffers and safeguard monetary stability, which are important for a healthy business and investment climate. 

Improving the investment climate for the private sector is critical for the government's economic growth policies.  Subprogram 2 contributes toward this end. The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic emphasizes improving the business climate.  ADB's country operations business plan for the Kyrgyz Republic identifies subprogram 2 as a means of broadening the Kyrgyz economy and its private sector.  

Climate-Resilient Agricultural Value Chain Development Project. The proposed project will enhance food security, within households and nationally, through resilient, climate-adaptive horticultural value chains. The project will assist participating financial institutions (PFIs) to provide better-structured loan products to small and medium-sized agribusiness enterprises. This will improve processing and storage capacity and reduce post-harvest handling and storage losses by establishing modern and efficient processing, storage, and refrigerated facilities.  

Power Sector Improvement Project (formerly Transmission and Distribution Metering Project). While the entire power sector needs modernization, the Government places highest priority on loss reduction and strengthening governance. This is not only to improve commercial operations, but to regain the population's confidence in the power sector and to reestablish political stability. Energy security through generation capacity expansion is a priority, but the short-term solutions are to improve system efficiency and reliability, and to enhance regional power trade. The proposed Project contributes to attaining the goals through the following components:

(i)	Automated Metering and Data Acquisition system (AMDA) will bring transparency to the wholesale electricity transaction between the unbundled power companies as well as in regional power trade. AMDA will eliminate errors and rampant metering data manipulation that are untraceable by the current archaic technology. Loss reduction will make more power available domestically and also improve the financial performance of the power companies. Accurate power flow data is indispensible to improve the power companies' commercial operation performance. The system also enhances regional power trade through (i) meeting the CAPS metering accuracy requirement, and (ii) eliminating unauthorized export.

(ii)	Substation Rehabilitation will improve reliability of the Kyrgyz power system by replacing dilapidated circuit-breakers and instrument transformers that have reached their economic lives, are technologically obsolete, or do not meet the accuracy requirement for regional power trade. Since the Kyrgyz system is intricately interconnected with the Central Asia Power System (CAPS), rehabilitation increases reliability of the regional system and enhance regional power trade. 

(iii)	Communications and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system will link seven major substations (estimated) and the control centers via optical fiber, and enables the system operator to make efficient dispatching based on real-time data. The scope is limited to system monitoring function of the northern loop. SCADA will reduce technical losses through avoidance of overloading, and also enable faster detection and restoration of faults. The system improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the Kyrgyz system and CAPS.

(iv)	Study on Electricity Settlement Center will study the settlement systems appropriate to bring about transparency and accountability to the Kyrgyz power sector, and to maximize the benefits of the AMDA. It will devise mechanisms to publish data on energy flows and manage distribution of sector revenues in a transparent manner.

(v)	Corporate and Financial Management Capacity Building for the National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan (NEGK) will improve corporate management through the preparation of a corporate business plan including the review of investment needs, operation and maintenance practices, organizational reforms, internal control, asset revaluation, and cost of transmission service. Financial management capacity will be strengthened through introduction of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and appropriate corporate accounting software. 

The project fits with ADB's Starategy 2020 and ADB's Energy Policy.  The latter focuses on energy efficiency, cutting fossil fuel use, energy security, energy access, and regional cooperation.  The project also promotoes capacity development and governance.  

COVID-19: Vaccine Support Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility. The project responds to the government?s request for ADB support under APVAX to help meet the COVID-19 vaccine response challenges. In accordance with the guidance in Appendix 5 of the APVAX policy, the rapid response component will support procurement of vaccines and the project investment component will support project implementation.The project is aligned with the following impact: COVID-19 spread reduced, and confidence of citizens restored.  The project?s outcome is priority populations vaccinated against COVID-19.  The project outputs are described below.
Output 1. COVID-19 vaccines procured and delivered to designated points. Under the rapid response component, the project plans to finance vaccines procurement with UNICEF as the procurement agent through a turnkey service either through COVAX or directly and, possibly, through bilateral agreements. 
Output 2. Capacity to implement the vaccination program strengthened. Under the project investment component, the output will help strengthen the MOHSD?s capacity to effectively and efficiently manage procurement and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines.  

The government plans to accelerate its economic diversification efforts and has prioritized the implementation of structural reforms to improve (i) trade and investment competitiveness, (ii) small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) development, (iii) infrastructure development (including through public-private partnerships [PPPs]), (iv) industry-based skills development, and (v) fiscal management and social protection. These efforts will enable the economy and the population to be more resilient to exogenous shocks in the future and will help improve the economy's medium-to long-term trajectory. This subprogram will continue to support the government in implementing complex reforms against the backdrop of significant macroeconomic challenges and constitutional changes by ensuring that planned reform efforts are supported. The government's overarching objective is to diversify the Kyrgyz economy away from over-reliance on gold production and remittance-led consumption. The scope and coverage of the program are even more important given the continuum of shocks to the economy that began in March 2020 with the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, continued with post-pandemic disruptions in global supply chains in late 2021, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which is adversely impacting the economy through increased food and fuel prices, lower remittances, fewer job opportunities, trade disruptions, and low investor confidence.  

Vocational Education and Skills Development. The Project assists the government in reforming the primary vocational education (PVE) system and increasing skill training opportunities for adults and out of school youth. the Project has four components: (i) consolidation of PVE system  (ii) improving teaching and learning environments  (iii) modernization of curriculum and assessment and development of learning materials, and (iv) human resource development.  

Tax Administration Reform and Modernization Project. The project will contribute positively to the Kyrgyz Republic's economic growth and poverty reduction by establishing a State Tax Service (STS) that (i) helps promote macroeconomic stability and provides fiscal space for priority economic and social expenditures through increased revenue collection  (ii) minimize corruption and practices good governance and transparency, and (iii) facilitates private sector development.

The outcome of the Project is an effective, modern, and efficient STS that achieves improvement in tax collection.

In particular, the Program will (i) facilitate the enforcement of banking legislation and regulation, close banking sector regulatory gaps, and promote competition  (ii) strengthen supervision of securities markets to improve market transparency, and protect investors  and (iii) remove policy distortions that undermine the development of capital markets. To achieve these objectives, the Program will seek to (i) increase the transparency and consistency of enforcement policies and procedures in the area of banking, (ii) strengthen risk management regulation and cross-border supervision, (iii) facilitate coordination and cooperation between supervisory bodies, (iv) consolidate the institutional framework for regulation and supervision of NBFIs, (v) strengthen the legal and regulatory basis for securities markets, (vi) strengthen the governance of market intermediaries, (vii) rationalize the tax treatment of government and corporate securities, and (viii) strengthen privatization policies.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport Corridor 1 (Zhambyl Oblast Section) Investment Program - Tranche 3. Project 3 constructed 117.7-km road sections in total. ADB financed the (i) construction of a new 80-km Otar-Blagoveshchenka road section (Km 162-260)  and (ii) rehabilitation of 10.3-km existing asphalt concrete road, and construction of a new 7.4-km asphalt concrete bypass approach road to the Kyrgyz border. JICA jointly cofinanced the construction of 20-km Kulan bypass road section (km 383-404).  

Akmola Electricity Distribution Network Modernization and Expansion Project. AEDC’s (Akmola Electricity Distribution Company) capital investment program for 2013–2015 will expand, augment, and modernize the company’s distribution network under the new ownership of CAEPCO.

AEDC aims to expand its network capacity to improve reliability of electricity supply, and to maintain low electricity losses by investing in new and reconstructed distribution lines and modernized substations. The aim of the project is to increase reliable power supply to existing residential and commercial clients (indirectly through sales companies) and particularly increase connection to 35,000 additional households by 2020 in rural areas of Akmola province and Astana. This will be achieved by (i) reconstructing, repairing, and adding new capacity to the fixed assets, such as substations and distribution lines  (ii) upgrading software systems for power accounting  and (iii) acquiring modern measuring devices. The project also aims to (i) enable increased equipment load to reduce energy losses in networks of different voltage, (ii) reduce direct expenses related to maintenance of equipment, (iii) add capacity in areas with intensive infrastructure development, and (iv) create modern automated measurement and technological monitoring systems to improve operational and administrative efficiency.  

Advanced Gas Metering Project. The proposed loan will enable the borrower to procure and install up to 1 million advanced smart gas meters across Kazakhstan.  

Kazakhstan Countercyclical Support Loan. Kazakhstan  was  the  first  country  in  the  Asia  Pacific  region  to  be directly affected by the global economic crisis. After a decade of rapid expansion  at  9%  real  gross  domestic  product  (GDP)  growth  per  year, the economy plummeted in the second half of 2008, limiting growth to 3.3% that year. During January–June 2009, the economy is estimated to  have  contracted  by  2.3%  year-on-year,  and  the  full-year  decline  in 2009 is projected at 2%, according to the International Monetary Fund forecast.  The  financial  sector  was  the  worst  affected,  as  banks  were overexposed  to  external  financing  sources  that  dried  up  in  August 2007 as the international liquidity crisis struck. Global creditors tightened  liquidity,  and  Kazakh  debt  spreads  widened  sharply.  Asset quality  in  the  banking  sector  declined.  The  construction,  industry,  and trade  sectors  took  major  hits,  with  the  impact  of  the  crisis  percolating down  through  the  entire  economy.  There  have  been  major  job  losses in some of these sectors. The impact of the crisis has also had ripple effects  on  the  neighboring  economies  of  the  Kyrgyz  Republic  and  the Republic of Tajikistan, which are dependent on Kazakhstan for investments as well as worker remittances. 

The Government's policy response and actions have been swift. Kazakhstan's ability to weather the crisis has been due in large part to a considerable chest of oil earnings built up in the National Fund of the Republic  of  Kazakhstan  (NFRK),  helped  by  the  increase  in  oil  prices until 2008. NFRK grew from $14 billion in 2006 to $28 billion in 2008. In  2007–2008,  the  Government  set  aside  $4  billion  equivalent  in  its budget  to  finance  the  ambitious  ACP,  formulated  in  late  2007  jointly with the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK), the Financial Monitoring Supervisory Agency (FMSA), and other institutions. In November 2008, the Government expanded its crisis-mitigation measures with an additional $10 billion allocation out of NFRK. The ACP supports (i) banking sector rehabilitation, (ii) revival of the construction industry, (iii) greater role for small and medium-sized enterprises, (iv) revival of the agro-industrial sector, and (v) greater public investment in industry and  infrastructure.  It  took  a  75%  stake  in  Bank  Turan  Alem,  the country’s largest bank with 27% of the system's assets. It also injected capital into Halyk Bank and Kazkommertzbank. In total, the Government has put into the banking system equity capital or deposits amounting to $5 billion. Reacting to competitive pressures, Kazakhstan devalued  the  national  currency,  the  tenge,  by  20%  in  February  2009. An  employment-generation  program  (Roadmap  for  Recovery  Through Job Creation) was launched in March 2009. In total, the Government's anti-crisis  package  has  mobilized  $22.5  billion  of  direct  and  indirect measures, and is beginning to show results.  

Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Corridors 1 and 6 Connector Road (Aktobe–Kandyagash) Reconstruction Project. The proposed project will (i) reconstruct the 89-kilometer highway connecting Aktobe and Kandyagash, and (ii) strengthen the institutional capacity of KazAvtoZhol.

The project is aligned with the following impact: more jobs created, and Kazakhstan integrated into the regional and global economic system.  The project will have the following outcome: efficient, reliable, and safe movement of people and goods in West Kazakhstan increased.

Côte d'Ivoire - 44 MW Singrobo - Ahouaty Hydropower Project. The Singrobo-Ahouaty Hydropower Development Project on the Bandama River, addresses the Ivorian government’s concern to diversify the energy mix following an increase in thermal power generation in recent years. The Government of Côte d’Ivoire plans to invest heavily in the generation, transmission and distribution segments of the electric power sector and to implement an ambitious electrification programme for 2100 villages at a rate of 700 villages per year over a three-(3) year period. The country thus intends to increase its share of renewable energy from 15% to 42% by 2021. The project comprises the design, development, operation and transfer of a 44 MW hydroelectric plant and a 3.5 km transmission line and substation to evacuate the power generated onto an existing transmission line. It is operating under a 35-year concession agreement with the Government of Côte d’Ivoire (GoCI). The transaction supporting this project is a 15-year EUR 40 million loan to Ivoire Hydro Energy SAS (IHE) (previously Ivoire Hydro Energy SA). The loan, granted under the private sector window of the African Development Bank, also aims to promote and support Ivorian private entrepreneurship, through financial support and expertise provided to the local promoter of the hydroelectric power station. The project increases the proportion of renewable energies while improving the sector’s financial viability. Its implementation comprises two main components: (i) The primary installation comprising the main dam, the water intake structure, the spillway, power plant and tailrace channel  and (ii) Related infrastructure comprising transmission lines and the interconnection substation.  The Project will contribute to the energy required for the Government of Côte d’Ivoire ambition of increasing electricity access to 100% by 2025. It will also contribute (i) towards decreasing the use of more expensive and polluting thermal power plants during peak periods and (ii) to diversifying the energy mix towards the GoCI ambition of reaching 42% of its electricity generated by renewable sources by 2030.  In terms of development outcomes, the project will add 44 MW of baseload electricity generation capacity, or 2.3% of the country’s capacity. Annual electricity production is expected to be 196 Gwh, of mainly peak power. The project will save 109,561 tons of CO2 emissions, and help diversify Côte d’Ivoire’s energy mix away from fossil fuels. Net revenues accruing to the government are estimated at EUR 8 million. Finally, the project is expected to generate 500 jobs during construction and 28 skilled jobs during the operations phase. The value of supply chain linkages with local enterprises during the construction period is estimated at EUR 29 million. Ancillary infrastructure investments are expected to improve both road access and electricity quality for eight rural villages with an estimated total population of 8,800 people, of which 4,000 are new connections.

Multinational - Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI). The Project entails the design, structuring, and implementation of a USD 500 million debt fund, the Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI). Working through a streamlined platform and a highly specialized team, the Facility seeks to alleviate the barrier of lack of access to debt financing faced by small scale renewable energy projects, thus increasing the flow of capital to the energy sector in Africa. FEI will support projects with financing needs that are less than what is currently required to justify the high transaction costs associated with the lending platforms of most DFIs, and financing requirements that are not adequately satisfied by local commercial banks due to a number of factors including risk perception and the dearth of suitable financing models (e.g. receivable-based financing). It will focus on providing senior and mezzanine debt financing to small scale projects (off-grid, mini-grid and on-grid) with total costs not exceeding USD 30 million. The Facility will operate with loan structures and pricing commensurate with risk profiles of projects and on a platform conducive to the efficient execution of deals, in accordance with evolving market needs. Unlike other debt funds proposed in the market, the Facility constitutes a direct lending platform. Although FEI does not seek to deploy funds through local financial intermediaries, through its demonstration effect and financial performance, FEI may support the continent’s local commercial banks and other financial intermediaries in their efforts to “bank” the sector.  FEI seeks to address these market failures and increase the flow of debt capital to small scale energy projects by deploying innovative investment strategies, specialized financial products, and streamlined due diligence procedures across Africa’s energy sector value chain. The Facility aims to reduce processing timelines and related due diligence costs of small scale projects. Although streamlined, the Facility’s platform will ensure compliance with acceptable credit criteria and the social and environmental considerations of its investors.  FEI is expected to assist in realizing ~50 small scale energy projects, with individual investments of between USD 5 and 20 million, thus increasing electricity generation in Africa by at least 300 MW and energy connections by a minimum of 2 million households, including off-grid. While providing access to power, projects financed by FEI will contribute to local, economic development through job creation and increased productivity, resulting in improved livelihoods and quality of life.

Kenya - Risk participation agreement to Imperial Bank Kenya in respect of Commerzbank. The proposed operation is a Risk Participation Agreement (RPA) to Imperial Bank Kenya in respect of Commerzbank. The RPA between the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Commerzbank AG (CAG) to share the default risk on a portfolio of qualifying trade transactions originated by Issuing Banks in Africa and confirmed or indemnified by CAG.

MOZAMBIQUE - "Portos E Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique EP (CFM)" - Prêt institutionnel. Portos e Caminhos de Ferro de Moçambique EP (“CFM”) the rail and port authority of Mozambique, is a Public Enterprise (“PE”) that oversees the railway system of Mozambique and its connected ports. CFM has approached the African Development Bank (“the Bank”) to contribute to the financing of its Strategic Plan (“thePlan”) for the period 2021 to 2024. The Plan entails a total investment of USD 978.7 million comprising of the capacity development of the ports (USD 469.4 million) and railways (USD 509.3 million). Of the USD 509.3 million investment for the railways, USD 136.9 million is earmarked for the acquisition of rolling-stock.  The Bank has been requested to finance a portion of the rolling stock component with a senior corporate loan of up to USD 70 million (“the Facility”) to support CFM’s acquisition of rolling-stock for its major corridor, the Ressano Garcia Railway Line (“theProject”).  The Project is rated Excellent for development outcomes mainly stemming from  (i) Private sector developmentthrough  enhanced  domestic  linkages, enterprise price, and user effects and (ii) Integration and resiliencethrough improved  transport  connectivity  within  and  between  the  country  and neighboring countries, and intra-African trade of services. The likelihood of achieving development outcomes in a timely manner is assessed as High, supported by the positive track record of CFM and the substantial experience of the management team in deploying and managing similar projects. The development  context  is  assessed  as Highly  constrained,  given  that Mozambique  is  a  transition  state  where  the  fragility  effects  are  more pronounced.  Mozambique, strategically positioned in the Southern Africa region, is arguably the primary logistics gateway for hinterland countries such as Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi,  and  Eswatini.  The  country’s  threeprimary  corridorsprovide comparatively shorter corridor options. The road and railway systems that are used for transporting freight from neighboring countries gives them access to global markets for exports and imports. The main commodities transported along the corridorscomprise  of  raw  and  processed  minerals, agriculture  products, containerized freight, and bulk liquids. The Ressano Garcia Line services the Maputo corridor, which the targeted rolling stock will be deployed, is used mostly for the export of mineral products(bulk magnetite, ferro-chrome, chrome ore and coal)from South Africa’s north easterly mining belt through the port of Maputo, which provides the shortest access to a seaport. With upgraded development and the efficient operation of the corridor, the potential to expand the corridor to transport mining products destined for exports from countries in the North -South Corridor, including the DRC, is extremely high.  The RessanoGarcia Line (CFM-S on the Maputo Corridor) and the Sena Line  (CFM-C  on  the  Beira  Corridor)  are  the  key  rail  lines  generating  significant revenues for CFM.  The Maputo Corridor currently carries over 1,600 heavy vehicles per day, and accounts for about 30MTPA of freight. Whilst the GDP growth rate of the feeder countries to the corridor over the past 5-10 years has remained low at less than 2%, traffic growth on the other hand has been nearly twice, at around 5%, and is expected to average 4% over the next 20-30 years.

The overall goal of this project is to strengthen economic and social development through increased access for SMEs to skills, financing, and new markets through partnerships with large companies. The specific objectives of the project are as follows : (i) Capacity building of at least 120 SMEs to enable them to meet the criteria to supply large enterprises in order to access new markets and meet requirements of participating banks in order to access finance  (ii) Creation of 50 business linkages between SMEs and large companies to facilitate the transfer of technology, knowledge and skills, to improve the management and financial practices of local SMEs and to ensure impact on the local population  (iii) Increased demand and purchases of locally produced goods and services  (iv) Development of local enterprises resulting in additional household income and job creation.  At least 120 companies operating in sectors that offer clear opportunities for partnerships with large companies. Other beneficiaries will include: (i) providers of business support services through improved content and delivery mechanisms, in addition to increased demand for quality services  (ii) banks, due to increased lending to SMEs  (iii) the State of Senegal, due to increased investment and tax revenues  (iv) the entire population, due to increased employment opportunities and poverty reduction  and (v) the private sector, due to increased employment opportunities and poverty reduction.

Multinational - Project to Support the Private Sector in WAEMU Zone through the Provision of Long-Term Resources (LOCs Equity Participation) to the West African Development Bank (BOAD). The project comprises two components, namely: (i) Provision of a EUR 70 million Line of Credit to Support Private Sector Enterprises in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) Member Countries  and (ii) USD 24 million Equity Investment in West African Development Bank (BOAD)’s General Capital Increase. This equity investment will allow the AfDB to own 1% of BOAD's capital, the new threshold below which a shareholder may not sit on the Board of Directors (the current level of equity ownership is 0.55%). This investment is crucial to the AfDB as the similarities and complementarities between their strategic priorities make BOAD a perfect partner for leveraging and optimizing the outcomes of the Bank’s actions in West Africa. The LOC resources will be on-lent particularly to the enterprises involved in agricultural value chain development and job creating service sectors. In addition, the AfDB will assist BOAD in setting up a technical assistance mechanism for mainstreaming gender issues in its project review process and promoting women’s entrepreneurship.  The project will (i) strengthen BOAD in its role as the Bank's strategic partner in private sector financing in West Africa with an increased level of capitalization allowing it to present better capital adequacy ratios, to hope for a better risk rating and greater credibility on the international financial markets  (ii) access to medium and long-term resources, identified by BOAD in its strategic plan as a constraint to the achievement of its development mission, (iii) a better match between its resources and its uses.  The project will mainly benefit the West African Development Bank (BOAD), the member states of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) as well as companies acting within the framework of the reinforcement of agricultural value chains and in the employment-generating services sector of the zone.

Multinational - Creation of a leasing platform for African Airlines. The proposed operation is a FAPA grant of USD 340,000 to support the creation of an African Airlines leasing platform project. The Project addresses the scarcity of financing faced by African airlines, by developing an in-depth Africa-focused leasing market study and strategies to enhance this market. FAPA’s support is particularly crucial in boosting the adoption of these initiatives, as funding will contribute to creating awareness and disseminating key outcomes to aviation professionals. The Project will create an enabling investment and business climate, by creating a framework that covers both operational and regulatory issues in Africa’s aircraft leasing market. It will strengthen financial systems across Africa’s aviation industry by enabling the creation of a leasing platform to ease access to aircraft leasing/acquisition for the aviation industry  build competitive infrastructure (in considering Aircraft as part of the aviation infrastructure) and  promoting trade (with air transport as a vector both for passengers and freight). The Project hinges on the two following components: (i) Development of feasibility study and 5-year business plan for a leasing platform  (ii) Development of a detailed strategic plan for operationalizing the platform. It will be implemented over a period of 12 months from the date of approval.  The Project, which is in the upstream phase of the creation of the leasing platform, is in line with FAPA’s overarching goal to support the Bank’s engagements in private sector development. Project goal is to create an efficient leasing platform that would strengthen and sustain the development of a viable airline industry in Africa. This platform, that will mainly target smaller Africa Airlines which have limited, or non-existent options of aircraft acquisition, is expected to offer them more affordable options to access efficient and newer aircraft through operational leases. The development objective of the project is therefore to address the scarcity of financing for aircraft acquisition and leasing constraints that African Airlines face, thus accounting for the market failure situation in Africa. The Project deliverables will allow the Bank, in addition to its direct contribution to the project, to play a facilitating role between African airlines and the private sector investor, in order to improve access to aircraft financing thus having a significant and positive impact on their current low profitability.  Primary beneficiaries of the initiative will be small African Airlines (approx. 50) with a fleet of 15 aircraft or less which will have an improved access to financing of aircrafts for operational leases. Indirect/secondary beneficiaries of the initiative will be (i) traveling public (with modern, environment friendly aircraft and cheaper airfare)  (ii) African Governments (released from having to support airlines)  (iii) the African Economy through increased trade, investment, GDP boosted by a growing air transport sector, primarily in the 33 countries that have joined the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM), as their traffic will grow faster but also throughout the continent as the African Continental Free Trade Area initiative takes shape.

The project rationale is to enable the rehabilitation of CBHS with the following expected outcomes: i) extend the life of the dam by an additional 25 years  ii) increase the delivery of clean energy by an additional 110MW  iii) enhance the reliability of delivery of energy   iii) reduce unplanned outages of CBHS enabling HCB to fulfil its contractual obligations to its off-takers and iv) enhance regional integration of the electricity sector in SADC countries  v) increase revenue for both HCB and Mozambique and vi) ensure the sustainability of energy security of South Africa , Mozambique and Zimbabwe.  The project goal is to support HCB’s10-year investment plan named “Vital Capex”.  The main beneficiary of the project is Hidroeléctrica Cahora Bassa’s (“HCB”) named “Vital Capex”.

Multinational - Risk Participation Agreement (RPA) for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited (SMBCE). The proposed project is an unfunded US $100-million Risk Participation Agreement (RPA) for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited (SMBCE) to support issuing banks in Africa expand their trade finance operations. Indeed, most African banks are small and therefore find it difficult to obtain adequate trade finance facilities from international confirming banks to support African importers and exporters. SMBCE is a commercial bank wholly owned by Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Group (SMBC) of Japan and was established in March 2003. Its operations concentrate on Middle East, Africa, and Europe with proven specialty in Trade Finance, Project Finance, and Cash Management. SMBCE is consider to be a natural strategic partner for supporting the AfDB’s development mandate, initially starting with this intervention within the trade finance space. The RPA facility is expected to run over three years, as a 50/50 risk sharing arrangement where SMBCE will match AfDB’s undertaking in each transaction, and will create a maximum trade finance portfolio of up to US $200 million at any one time. Counting rollovers, it is expected that the facility will support more than US $1.2 billion of trade in Africa over the 3-year tenor. It aligns with the acute market demand for trade finance in Africa in agriculture, transport, construction, health, energy and manufacturing sectors. AfDB’s additionality lies in the use of its “AAA” credit rating to give greater comfort to SMBCE to take more risk on local banks in Africa and provide them increased trade finance facilities.  The facility will help address critical market demand for trade finance on the continent by providing support for trade in vital economic sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing. It will also foster financial sector development and regional integration, and contribute to government revenue generation.  The implementation of this partnership will support vital sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction and light manufacturing and thus SMBCE’s interventions are multi-sectorial in nature. The proposed facility will therefore enhance SMBCE’s capacity to provide trade  confirmation services and liquidity provision to Issuing Banks. It aims also to foster financial sector development, promote south-south trade (spurred by the SMBCE/SMBC Group’s extensive global presence) and engineer inclusive growth by supporting African FIs and SMEs. This will in turn promote intra-Africa trade as well as industrialization and export development.

Multinational - Dal Group Company Limited (Phase II). The  project  comprises  phase-II  of  DAL  Group’s  long-term  investment  and  regional expansion  program with  a  focus  on its  integrated  food  and  agriculture  operations  and growing the company’s regional agro-industrial network.  The  Project has  a strong  focus on low income countries,  Transition  states,  and challenging regional markets and will contribute in building resilience through regional trade, cross-border infrastructure, job creation, industrialization, agricultural transformation, and in improving local livelihoods. It  provides  an  opportunity  for  the  Bank  to  partner  with  an  experienced private sector  actor to  go  in to  challenging markets  that  would  otherwise  be  difficult  to  serve.  It  will contribute  to  (a)  boost  private  sector  development  in these  countries,  (b)  promote  regional trade and integration across challenging regional markets, and (c) enhance resilience against key drivers of fragility at national and regional level. The  project  is  therefore  consistent  with  the  Bank’s  strategic  priorities  (High-5s),  the  TYS (2013-2022) as well as the regional development objectives and key cross cutting themes of the RISPs for Eastern and Central Africa.  Development outcomes are mainly expected from (i) Household benefits through the creation of jobs  and (ii) regional integration through regional trade and infrastructure enhancements, (iii)  local/regional  economic  resilience  arising  from  foreign  exchange  earnings  and  savings  (iv) government and fiscal effects through incremental revenues accruing to governments, and (v)  building  resilience  against  social,  environmental,  and  economic  drivers  of  fragility  at national and regional level.  The investments in value chain transformation will provide a more direct route to market for small farmers and increasing the incomes to local producers.

Multinational - The Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) - Infrastructure and Trade Financing in Africa. A financial package comprising 2 components namely: (i) a USD 350 million senior debt facility for on-lending to support eligible infrastructure projects and (ii) a USD 50 million Trade Finance Line of Credit (TF LoC) to support the expansion of AFC’s trade finance operations across the continent. Overall, the financial package will (i) provide critically  needed  long-term  Dollar  liquidity  to  support  its  expanding  pipeline  of  infrastructure  projects  and  (ii) provide shorter term funding to support export-import led transactions financed by the AFC, especially those which support importation of intermediate and capital goods including some which may be required to support the delivery of infrastructure projects being financed by AFC.  The development outcomes from this investment will derive from addressing the critical infrastructure gap on the continent by promoting industries, creating additional jobs, adding value, and stimulating overall economic growth. This investment will also contribute to filling market demand for trade finance in Africa by supporting trade in various vital economic sectors such as agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and construction. In addition, the project is expected to promote intra-Africa trade and regional integration as well as facilitate importation of critical capital goods, agricultural inputs, medical supplies and foodstuffs.  The  proposed  financial  package  will  provide  much  needed  long-term  funding  to  AFC  to  match  it  financing requirements in the infrastructure space. The package will also help increase AFC’s interventions in the 54 African countries. The main source of additionality is non-financial, arising from the provision of an AFAWA technical assistance designed to improve the financial and technical capacity of beneficiary financial institutions targeting WSMEs.

Ethiopia - Tulu Moye Geothermal Resource Development Development. The project falls under Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA)’s Green Baseload area of intervention as geothermal is one of the most reliable (high load factor) renewable energy sources in Eastern Africa, with over 15,000 MWe of generation potential. The project will be the first large-scale private sector-driven geothermal development in Africa and the first privately financed IPP in Ethiopia (“Tulu Moye”). The project involves geothermal resource development, construction,  commissioning, and operation of a 50 MW power plant in Ethiopia under a build own operate transfer (“BOOT”) structure, to be developed for a further 100MW as the second phase. The first phase of the project is intended to be implemented in two sub-sets of 25MW each for geothermal resource development purposes only. The sub-sets arrangement is due to the capital intensity of the drilling phase, which is a huge burden for the equity investors and a lack of risk appetite from debt financiers to support the exploration drilling activities.  Tulu Moye will add 50MW of baseload renewable energy capacity to the national system (with an additional 100 MW in Phase II). The project is expected to generate approximately 600 jobs, out of which 500 are during construction and 100 during operations. The effect of CO2 reduction is assessed at 826,570 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. Private sector capital of around USD 297M (equity and debt) will be mobilized for the phase I only. The project will lay a foundation for the future development of IPPs in Ethiopia and attract much-needed private capital in the geothermal development area.  The project will benefit Ethiopia by providing clean energy and contributing to the diversification of the Country’s energy mix from highly relying on hydro generation (93% of total capacity). Tulu Moye Geothermal Operations (“TMGO”) is the Project Company registered in Ethiopia.

Nigeria - BUA Cement PLC. The project involves a senior loan of up to USD 100 million to BUA Cement Plc to support the expansion of an existing cement production facility in Kalaimbaina, Sokoto State, Northern Nigeria from 2 million tons per annum to 8 million tons per annum and the installment of 120 MW natural gas power plants to replace older liquid fuel power plants.  The project will help to ensure (i) Increased availability of cement to address Africa's affordable housing concerns  (ii) Revenues for the Nigerian government from taxes  (iii) Boosting Nigeria’s forex reserves through forex inflows from exports  (iv) Adoption of sustainable and impactful gender strategy to promote opportunities for women  (v) Creation of direct and indirect jobs during construction and operations  (vi) Contribution to industrialization and skills development  and (vii) Reduction in GHG emissions via reduction of CO2 emissions as the Company transitions to the use of cleaner natural gas in its Sokoto plant.  The main beneficiaries are BUA Cement Plc and the Federal State Government of Nigeria.

Kenya - Family Bank Limited (FBL) - USD 30 million trade & SME finance facility. This proposal is a Trade and SME Finance Facility (Facility) of up to USD 30 million to Family Bank Limited (FBL). It comprises a (i) Trade Finance Line of Credit (TFLoC) to support Family Bank Limited’s (FBL) short term trade finance activities  (ii) Transaction Guarantee (TG) that will allow the Bank to provide up to 100% guarantee to Confirming Banks (CBs) for the non-payment risk arising from the confirmation of Letters of Credit and similar trade finance instruments issued by FBL  and (iii) Line of credit (LoC) to support SMEs in the health, renewable energy and agriculture sectors as well as Women Owned Businesses (WOBs). The project, therefore, presents a solid and rationale basis for the AfDB to contribute to SME financing through a sound, well-managed and reputable local bank that meets its key criteria for SME financing in terms of strong commercial viability, gender and SME orientation, strong development outcomes and additionality.  The project development objective is to increase financing to SMEs, local corporates in Kenya.  The main beneficiaries of the proposed Financial package are local corporates and SMEs that are active in the productive economy, import, export, operating in sectors such as manufacturing, agribusiness, energy, health, logistics, commerce, service, food (agriculture) to contribute to the economic development of Kenya.

Multinational - Technical Assistance Project for Leveraging Investment for Africa from Asian Private Corporations. The proposed operation is a Technical Assistance Project for Leveraging Investment for Africa from Asian Private Corporations. The project will be implemented with proceeds of Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA), which is generously financially contributed by the Government of Austria and the Government of Japan. Indeed, Africa’s expanding market and its huge economic potential, together with the initiatives of the governments of Asian countries and public financial institutions for business development in Africa such as TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development), investment in Africa has gained momentum. African Diplomatic Corps (ADCs), a body formed by the African diplomatic missions, based in the 4 Asian member countries are also doing investment promotional activities for Asian private sector. By taking advantages of the dynamics of calling for investment from Asia and Africa, SNAR, together with ADCs investment promotion committees, will implement a 3 years project to initiate and originate the AfDB’s projects of Non-Sovereign Operations (NSOs) from Asia. The project components are: (i) Providing knowledge seminar for ADCs investment promotion committees on financial products and services provided by financial institutions, especially Asian public financial institutions and the Bank  (ii) Reinforcing investment promotion committees’ functions towards public and private stakeholders based in the Asian Non-RMCs  (iii) Identifying and preparing opportunities of financial intervention by financial institutions, especially the Bank and Asian public financial institutions as a leverage to crowd in investment.  The indicative goal of the project is to provide capacity building program for investment promotion committees of ADCs based in the Asian Non-Regional Member Countries, so that ADCs can reinforce its pivotal role in calling for investment to Africa with the AfDB’s financial intervention as a "leverage” to crowd in Asian private finance to Africa, and thereby contributing to increase investment to Africa from the Asian Non-RMCs.  The project beneficiaries are mainly the Regional Member Countries (RMCs) as well as non-regional Asian member countries.

Multinational - Project to Support the Central African Unified Financial Market. The proposed operation concerns a grant of 976,000 euros from the African Development Bank (AfDB) from the resources of the Technical Assistance Fund for Middle Income Countries (TAF-MIC) and FAPA to finance the Support Project for the Start-up of the Unified Central African Financial Market. This support is in line with the Bank's Strategic Framework for Regional Integration for the period 2018-2025, particularly in its Pillar III on financial integration. The objective of this pillar is to help Financial Institutions to become regional players and develop a regional financial system aimed at mobilizing more domestic savings to meet the needs of the productive sector. It is also aligned with the Regional Integration Strategy Paper for Central Africa (DSIR-AC) for the period 2019-2025. The Programme is structured around three components, namely, the operationalisation of the unified financial market, the mobilisation of domestic savings and the strengthening of human capital on stock market instruments. This intervention will be complemented by those of the other technical and financial Partners, in particular the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.  The specific objectives of the Central African Unified Financial Market Support Project (PAMFUAC) is to contribute to  the  modernisation  of the Regional  Financial  Market (RFM) in  order  to improve financing  of  the economic  activities by supporting regional  financial  institutions  and  capacity  building for key market players. The  project  will  stimulate  the  deepening  of the  regional  financial  market  through  a  series  of  reforms aimed  at  (i)  further  developing  the  government  securities  market   (ii)  encouraging  the  growth  of  long-term domestic savings  (iii) improving stock exchange listing conditions in order to stimulate IPOs and corporate bondsissuances  and (iv) building the capacities of  market institutions and players.  The  direct  beneficiaries  of  PAMFUAC  are  the  key  stakeholders  of  the  RFM  such  as  the Central Depository  and  Government  Securities Manager  (CRCT),  the  Stock  Exchange  of  Central  Africa (BVMAC),  the  Regional  Financial  Market  Regulator  (COSUMAF),  CIMA,  BEAC,  PDs  and  money market  participants.  The  indirect  beneficiaries  of  PAMFUAC  are  economic  operators,  CEMAC  States and  the  entire  CEMAC population  that  will  benefit  from  the  economic  (employment  for  young  people and  women,  and  business  opportunities)  and  social  (poverty  reduction)  spin-offs through improved access to financing.

Cote d'Ivoire - Cocoa Pre-Export and Value Chain Trade Finance Support Facility -Sucres & Denrees (SUCDEN). The project is a EUR 100 million, Cocoa Pre-Export and Value-Chain Finance Facility to support SUCDEN CI’s participation in cocoa value chain in Cote d’Ivoire. SUCDEN CI is wholly owned subsidiary of SUCRE & DENREES Group (SUCDEN SA), one of the world’s leading global soft commodity producer and aggregator headquartered in Paris, France. The Bank previously had granted a EUR 100 million facility to SUCDEN CI and its performance under that arrangement was satisfactory. The facility enabled SUCDEN CI to double its pre-financing and support small cooperatives and wholesalers (covering more than 7,500 small-scale farmers) thereby impacting positively the cocoa industry in Cote d’Ivoire. The proposed project is a package of three successive one-year facilities for a maximum exposure of EUR100 million at any given time during the tenor of the facility. This facility will allow the Bank to reach local cooperatives and thus the small farmers, without directly taking the risks on those entities, but through a seasoned commodity aggregator with sound knowledge in the cocoa industry and is able to take and manage the risks that come along in the sector. The pre-financing is expected to assist local suppliers, farmers grow their revenues, produce quality crops and develop drying, and storage facilities that will help them obtain better value for their produce.  The objective of the proposed Cocoa Pre-Export and Value-Chain Support Finance Facility is to assist in the development of the cocoa value chain in Côte d’Ivoire by providing financing to SUCDEN CI. The funds will be used to pre-finance local suppliers as well as finance cocoa working capital needs.  SUCDEN CI will use the facility to finance local suppliers and farmers in conformity with its own credit assessment and risk appetite. Women and youth driven co-operatives will be targeted under this facility.

Ghana - Development Bank Ghana (DBG). The Project is aligned with Ghana’s Beyond Aid Vision and supports the Government’s efforts to revitalize the economy post-COVID-19. The Ghana Beyond Aid Charter calls for the establishment of “a new National Development Bank that is strong enough to mobilize domestic and foreign long-term private capital, in addition to Government’s contributions, toward agricultural and industrial transformation. This institution, which will operate as a wholesale bank, using a private sector model, will provide financial institutions with long-term financing to accelerate industrialization and agricultural modernization.” The Project is also aligned with Ghana’s COVID-19 Alleviation and Revitalization of Enterprises Support (CARES) program that identifies the expansion of access to finance for Ghanaian businesses as one of the key measures for economic revitalisation and transformation. This is an African Development Fund (ADF) grant of UA 28.39 million to the Republic of Ghana to further capitalise the Development Bank Ghana (DBG), a newly established development finance institution (DFI). The main component of the Project is capital enhancement. This will help strengthen the balance sheet of this national DFI and enhance its capacity to provide much-needed support to businesses in Ghana through the following main instruments/channels: (i) Funding to Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) to on-lend to the private sector  (ii) Technical assistance to PFIs  (iii) Partial Credit Guarantee (PCG).  The objective of the Project is to support the establishment of a financially sustainable development bank to increase access to finance, in particular long-term finance, for viable MSMEs and small corporates in Ghana.  The immediate direct beneficiary is the Republic of Ghana which will use the resources of the Grant to further capitalise the DBG. However, MSMEs and small corporates in agribusiness, manufacturing, information and communication technology (ICT) and high-value services will be the immediate indirect beneficiaries.

Multinational - Facility for Agricultural Finance in Africa. The Facility for Agriculture Finance in Africa (FAFINA) aims to foster the agricultural transformation of the continent from agriculture as way of life to agriculture as a business. The project is a holistic program that addresses some of the remaining constraints for the Bank Group to reach a very critical mass of the African population – its farmers. The facility to address the challenges will introduce several innovative instruments and structures namely: (a) independent fund management for initial supply driven identification and technical due diligence stages of processing  (b) technical assistance to bring proposals to bankability (c) first loss portfolio guarantees  and (d) pay for performance contract structures. The project main components are (i) concept and prefeasibility Stage  (ii) Facility implementation and supporting documents and (iii) TA assistance operations ramp-up.  The objectives of this project are to support the innovative drive of this facility by: (i) covering part of the preparatory and implementation costs of the facility and (ii) providing the initial resources to start the technical assistance activities of the facility.  In the pilot phase, the facility will target West & Southern Africa regions and it will invest opportunistically on a Pan–African scale. Transaction sizes of between US $3 million to US $30 million will be the target market to reflect recurring demand from smaller sized private sector projects. As such, in accordance with risk sharing and crowding in principles, the Facility’s investment would range from US $1 million to 10 million (maximum to 50% of total project cost).

Botswana - Botswana Development Corporation Limited (BDC). The proposed project proses a thematic Line of Credit (LOC) of up to USD 80 million to Botswana Development Corporation (BDC) to support targeted sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and services to promote “Industrialize Africa” agenda of the Bank and support economic diversification in Botswana. BDC is a development finance institution founded in 1970 by the Government of Botswana as the sole shareholder. Its mandate is to promote the development of industrial, commercial, and agricultural enterprises in the country. The company is a key player in the development of industrial parks and warehousing facilities to support industries and logistics enterprises. This is a strategic intervention which is also emphasized in BDC’ business strategy to improve access to affordable and long-term finance for local enterprises to promote inclusive growth and job creation in Botswana.  The objective of this project is to enable BDC to stimulate and grow industrial (i.e. manufacturing, transport, logistics etc.) and service sectors (i.e. health care) to enhance local companies’ competitiveness and productivity in order to produce more goods and services in the country to generate more jobs. The LOC will also contribute to the realization of the Government of Botswana's development objective of diversification of the economy.  The loan will contribute positively to growing the manufacturing sectors as well as reduce funding constraints on local enterprises. The facility will also be used to promote private sector development and to foster broad-based economic growth through job creation, increased productivity and to enhance household incomes. It will complement the government of Botswana’s efforts to diversify, expand and transform the economy and support value chain projects that enhance regional economic activities.

Burkina Faso - Africa SME Program – Fidelis Finance (Formerly ‘Burkina Bail LTD’). Le présent projet consiste en l'initiation, par le Groupe de la Banque Africaine de Développement, d'une ligne de crédit en vue d'aider à la résolution du problème d'accès au financement des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME) au Burkina Faso. En effet, il a été constaté que les PME en Afrique ne bénéficient pas suffisamment de financement pour leur croissance. Ce programme consiste alors à la création d'un fonds de financement spécifiquement destiné à fournir des prêts aux petites et moyennes institutions financières (IF) de niveau 2 et 3 en Afrique, qui les rétrocèdent ensuite aux PME. Fondamentalement, ce financement est également associé à une assistance technique (AT) pour aider les IF bénéficiaires à accroître leur capacité à prêter aux PME. Concrètement, cela implique souvent de former les responsables de crédit et l'équipe de gestion des risques des banques afin qu'elles puissent mieux évaluer le risque réel des PME et démystifier le mythe selon lequel ces prêts constituent toujours un investissement risqué qui ne peut être fait qu’avec des garanties importantes. Les IF peuvent également choisir d'offrir de nouveaux produits mieux adaptés et diversifiés à leur clientèle de PME. De plus, les clients des PME peuvent obtenir une formation en «littératie financière» et en «gestion d'entreprise» si cela améliore leurs propositions de prêts aux IF. En plus du Burkina Faso, des prêts ont également été accordés à des institutions en Mauritanie, au Mozambique, au Nigéria, au Rwanda, en Sierra Leone, au Swaziland, en Tunisie et en Zambie.  Les bénéficiaires directs de la ligne de crédit sont les petites et moyennes institutions financières (IF). Les bénéficaires finaux sont les Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME).

Côte d’Ivoire - Line of Credit to NSIA Bank. The present intervention is related to a EUR 50 million financing to support NSIA Banque Côte d’Ivoire (NSIA CI) in its strategy to support local SMEs. The partnership has three components: (1) a EUR 25 million subordinated loan  (2) a EUR 10 million trade finance line  (3) a maximum guaranteed amount of EUR 15 million as portfolio guarantee envelope which is a partial credit guarantee dedicated to women's businesses. The project will participate in improving the inclusiveness of growth given the targeting of labour-intensive sectors and improving access to finance for 
underserved businesses, especially SMEs, women-owned and youth-owned businesses. The project will achieve good development outcomes mainly through (i) private sector development through improved lending capacity for NSIA CI and increased access to finance for its customers, including SMEs  and (ii) gender and social effects given the expected financial support for businesses headed or owned by women, and the contribution to sub-projects based in rural zones.  The project objective is to increase the processing of local products, promote energy efficiency solutions and foster the empowerment of women.  The beneficiary of the project is NSIA Banque CI, whose capital will be strengthened to enable it to accelerate the diversification of its SME client portfolio. These are SMEs in the agriculture and agro-processing sectors and those investing in energy efficiency solutions.

Ghana - The Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund. This intervention is designed to finance the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF). It consists of a corporate loan of up to USD 75 million, in support of the Fund's strategy to increase its investment portfolio. The Fund aims to mobilize, manage, coordinate and provide financial resources for investments in a diversified portfolio of infrastructure assets and projects. This will contribute to Ghana’s infrastructure development and overall economic development objectives. The development outcomes include enhancing the Fund’s effectiveness in the following areas: a) supporting the continued mobilization of longer-term private sector capital towards infrastructure development  b) increasing infrastructure service penetration and hence the quality of life of the citizens  and c) increasing the corporate tax revenues from the taxable income deriving from the Fund’s investees.  The project objective is to mobilize private capital to finance infrastructure in Ghana.  The project will benefit the Republic of Ghana particularly in the financing of infrastructure and related projects.

Multinational - Technical assistance support for portfolio companies linked to the Africa food security fund. The Africa Food Security Fund (AFSF) is a second-generation fund administered by Zebu Investment Partners (Zebu), formerly Databank Agrifund Managers. With a target fund size of USD120 million, the AFSF was established to invest in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the agriculture sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The AFSF follows a similar investment approach as the AAF in that it will make investments in food production and processing at the SME agribusiness level throughout the African continent, particularly in SSA. Technical Assistance (TA) is therefore necessary to assist with mitigating some of the key risks associated with investing in the agribusiness sector in Africa and catalysing growth in and around investee companies. The goal of the project is to amplify the AFSF’s development impact, constituted by im-proved economic development and physical access to food. This will be achieved by linking private equity investments to economic opportunities for smallholder farmers (including women and youth) and micro-enterprises  promoting uptake by AFSF investee companies of inclusive business models thereby increasing beneficiary incomes and access to food. The TAF will in addition support AFSF investee companies with their growth objectives by providing them with expertise and support that drive best practice and innovation which in turn will create jobs and thus incomes, increasing overall food security. Project Main Components are : (i) Inclusive Business Technical Assistance  (ii) Ecosystem Development Technical Assistance  and (iii) Facility Management.  The objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen portfolio companies’ core operations by delivering consulting expertise so that they are better able to grow, and hence contribute to food security  (ii) to facilitate the implementation of new business models that extend their reach to poor consumers, producers or employees through ‘inclusive business’ initiatives. This includes out grower schemes and distribution models, which enhance the capacity of smallholder farmers (SHFs) and micro-entrepreneurs to engage with portfolio companies through training and access to finance  and (iii) enhance linkages between upstream and downstream agriculture value chain activities.

Chad - Djermaya PV Project – Partial Risk Guarantee. The proposed operation concerns an African Development Fund (ADF) Partial Risk Guarantee (PRG) of approximately [UA 8.065.231,59 (EUR 10,000,000 equivalent)] to the Republic of Chad in line of the Djermaya Solar PV Independent Power Producer (IPP) project implementation. The Djermaya 28 MWe Solar PV Independent Power Producer project involves the purchase by the Societé Nationale de l’Electricité (SNE) of the power generated by a solar PV power plant in Djermaya, under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), 30km north of N’Djamena. This PV power plant is designed, constructed, operated and transfered on a build-own-operate-transfer basis (BOOT) by the independent power producer Djermaya CDEN Energy (DCE). The electricity will be sold to the grid at an initial tariff of XAF 79 per Kwh. The Partial Risk Guarantee (PRG) offered by the African Development Fund (ADF) which this document describes will mitigate for the IPP and for the providers of debt financing to the IPP the risk of non-payment of electricity bills by SNE’s under the PPA. Specifically, the PRG will provide credit enhancement to SNE on their payment obligations. The provision of an ADF PRG will facilitate the SNE to procure from a commercial bank that is acceptable to project parties a standby letter of credit at sustainable conditions. The letter of credit will provide liquidity in support of SNE’s electricity bill payment obligations under the PPA and will enable financial closure of the project, by reducing project risk and improving the bankability of the overall financing structure of the investment. The proposal concerns bills for power generated, as well as issued bills during the testing period and bills issued in the case of no intervention from the date of electricity delivery to the target date due to a failure of the Government or of the SNE or in case of political force majeure.  The main objective of the Project is to diversify the energy mix, provide clean, reliable, low-cost power and to strengthen Chad’s national grid by increasing national installed renewable power by approximately 15%.  The Independent Power Producer (IPP) will increase the supply of electricity to households benefitting 60,000 households, which will largely benefit women and children  enterprises and industries, which will create employment opportunities for youth and women  social services such as schools and hospitals  as well as government facilities in Chad, which will enhance service delivery. The project will add 28 MWe to the installed capacity in Chad, which is equivalent to 15% of installed capacity. Access to affordable and reliable renewable energy will contribute to overall economic growth in Chad through among other things increased firm productivity and creation of small and medium sized businesses and as such contribute to poverty reduction and tax revenue generation.  PRG will also allow SNE, an institution of relatively recent origin, to build a solid track record in the sector which will benefit future Independent Power Producers in the future.

Chad - Djermaya 28 MW Solar PV IPP - Senior Loan. The proposed project concerns a EUR 18 million loan as well as a Partial Risk Guarantee (GPR), for the establishment of the Djermaya solar power plant in Chad. Djermaya Solar is a key building block of the Desert to Power Initiative and is of high strategic importance for Chad. It is the first renewable power generation project in the country, as well as the first Public Private Partnership that the country is implementing. The project site is located 30 km north of N’Djamena on a 100ha piece of land awarded by presidential decree. The project consists of the design, financing, construction, operation, and transfer of a 28MWe solar PV plant and interconnection infrastructure. The plant includes PV modules mounted on single-axis trackers, inverters, and step-up transformers. The interconnection infrastructure includes an 18 km 33kV aerial double-circuit transmission line, two 33/90kV step-up transformers at the Lamadji sub-station, and an 8MW battery stabilization system. The project is structured as an Independent Power Producer (IPP) and will be funded primarily through private investment. It is an opportunity to improve energy access in Chad by developing its natural solar potential. Moreover, the Project will set a precedent for PPPs in the country and create an opportunity for replication for other solar power projects on the Sahel region in the framework of the Desert to Power Initiative. Construction of the plant is expected to begin during Q1 2020 with commercial operations to commence 12 months later. Private investors will own the plant for 25 years of operations and then transfer it to the National Electricity Company (SNE). Interconnection infrastructure (including the battery system) will be transferred to the SNE after construction and commissioning.  The project aims to provide a long-term sustainable, reliable and competitive source of renewable energy to the Chadian electricity distribution network and replace expensive diesel based generation currently used as baseload. It also contributes to developing the legal framework and standards for privately financed infrastructure projects as well as strengthening the institutional capacity to undertake such projects. As such, the project is paving the way for the development of future sustainable energy projects and further private investment in the country’s much needed infrastructure.  The Project will help build sustainability in the electricity sector in Chad by reducing production costs  will increase installed capacity in the country and contribute 10% of the energy supplied to the interconnected system (the equivalent of 25,000 customers). It will significantly increase the country generation capacity and displace 60 GWh of high cost diesel based generation thereby reducing government subsidies to the company, particularly since the peak facilityproduction is concomitant with the peak demand. The project will also diversify the energy mix by introducing renewable energies into a thermal production system based on fossil fuels  which will reduce carbon emissions by 38,000 tCO2 per year, in accordance with the country's commitments.

The subordinated debt is expected to help CRDB strengthen its current capital base as it seeks to expand its operations in the Central and East African region (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya) mainly in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The CDL should exclusively target CRDB loans to eligible women-owned/led enterprises. The objective of the TA is to ensure the sustainability, growth and profitability of women-owned/led enterprises while incorporating a monitoring and evaluation framework, and thus guiding effective market issuance of CRDB's women's product Malkia. Specifically, the technical assistance will support CRDB's strategy to increase its current portfolio of loans to women and SMEs to USD 60 million from the current size of USD 6 million, as well as to increase the number of women-owned/led commercial borrowers to 5,200 from 1,500 over the next five years.  The main beneficiary is CRDB. The proposed facility will contribute to the operations of the CRDB in several ways: (i) the bank's presence in the region and thus its access to businesses in several countries will foster regional integration  (ii) its business volumes will generate higher profits and thus more direct and indirect taxes  iii) its sectoral focus on agriculture (and its value chains) and manufacturing will be strengthened, thus contributing to food security, value addition, access to climate adaptation technologies and improved incomes for farmers  and iv) it will provide better access to finance for women entrepreneurs through the portfolio guarantee and credit line.

Multinational - Small- and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Business Linkages on East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline Project. The proposed Technical Assistance (TA) program of US $1.25 million is to help develop capacity of local Micro and Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) along the 1,445 km East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) in Uganda and Tanzania. The TA will maximize the amount of inputs procured by large companies operating on the planned EACOP in both Uganda and Tanzania through creation of durable and mutually beneficial partnerships between the large companies and MSMEs, thus enhancing the productive capacity, efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of their relationship. Additionally, MSMEs will be exposed to new market opportunities and involved in the creation of business linkages with large, blue-chip companies. This will, ultimately support inclusive private sector growth in Uganda and Tanzania. The TA will support SME Business linkages along the EACOP through two inter-linked components namely: (i) Capacity building in business development which will involve identification of target MSME’s and conducting needs assessments, facilitate trainings in relevant topics to enhance creation of a platforms for networking and market linkages between micro and small/medium enterprises with national, regional and international businesses and organisations and (ii) Administration, monitoring and evaluation, which will involve recruitment of staff and procurement of services. The TA program will be undertaken over a period of 24 months.  The specific project objectives include: (i) Capacity building of at least 200 MSMEs, as a process of enabling them to meet large companies’ supplier criteria  commercial banks’ lending requirements  and have potential to access new markets  (ii) Establishment of a minimum of 50 business linkages between Micro enterprises and Small Medium Enterprises and 20 linkages between large companies to SMEs  (iii) Establishment of a framework for the sustainability of a business linkage program between Micro enterprises, SME’s and large companies in Uganda and Tanzania.  The targeted beneficiaries include the local business enterprises. It is estimated that 200 MSMEs along the EACOP will benefit directly. The target is to have at least 20% of the targeted MSMEs owned by women. Other beneficiaries will include  local communities who will benefit from job opportunities, the associations of oil and gas service providers in both Uganda and Tanzania together with the private sector foundations in Tanzania and Uganda and the commercial Banks, which may lend to the enterprises. The main contractors will also benefit from buy-in by the communities since they will virtually own the project. The two governments will be beneficiaries since they will have an increased revenue base due to businesses created by the TA.

Regional - Attijariwafa Bank - Partnership for Trade Development in Africa. The project consists of a partnership between the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Attijariwafa Bank (AWB) for the development of trade in Africa in the form of a EUR 10 million unfinanced Risk Participation Agreement (RPA) under which both banks agree to share the default risk on a portfolio of eligible trade transactions initiated by African issuing banks (IBs). AWB SA is a Moroccan banking group and a Pan-African multinational based in Casablanca, born of the merger between Banque Commerciale du Maroc founded in 1911 (private bank deemed the first in Morocco) and Wafabank in 2003. The Bank’s share of risk will be at most 50% for every transaction except for five (5) IBs from Mauritania and Guinea-Conakry (Mauritania: Banque pour le commerce et l'industrie et Banque populaire de Mauritanie || Guinea Conakry: Banque Islamique Guinée, Orabank, and Banque pour le commerce et l’industrie) where coverage may be up to 75%. Under this Agreement, AWB will place TF resources at the disposal of local banks in Africa and guarantee their financing commitments by confirming their letters of credit (L/C). AfDB will then guarantee up to a maximum of 50% of the value of these transactions confirmed by AWB. This mechanism will serve to guarantee obligations arising from TF instruments such as credit confirmation letters, acceptance letters, export loans (pre-shipment), import loans, the financing of export and import bills, warranty cards, etc. The RPA ceiling will be in EUR, but related transactions can be either in EUR or USD. The duration of the mechanism will be 3 years and the maturity of each transaction cannot exceed 2 years, mindful that most transactions will be for 90 days, in line with standard practice in TF operations.  This RPA aims to: (i) contribute in reducing the TF deficit in Africa  (ii) promote inclusive economic growth and diversification through support for industrialisation  and (ii) increase intra-African trade and strengthen regional integration. The proposed mechanism will help meet the growing demand for TF in Africa, particularly in RMCs and States in transition, providing support to external trade in vital economic sectors like agriculture through fertiliser imports and exports. It will promote regional integration by stimulating intra-African trade and Africa’s industrialisation while ensuring imports of high value-added equipment and machines.  The beneficiaries of this partnership are IBs in Africa experiencing a sharp decline in their TF activities due to insufficient confirmation facilities placed at their disposal by international confirming banks (CB). The final beneficiaries are SMEs and local businesses in 18 RMCs, including LICs, which rely on 130 issuing banks, 51 of them in LICs and 21 in States in transition, to honour their TF commitments.

Côte d’Ivoire - Sucres and Denrees (SUCDEN) - Soft Commodity Program. Established in 1952 and controlled by the Varsano family (France), SUCRE & DENREES Group (“SUCDEN”) is a privately held conglomerate headquartered in Paris. It owns 40 subsidiary companies and operates in more than 30 locations over 15 countries worldwide. As of today, with more than 4,000 employees, SUCDEN is an acknowledged global soft commodity trading group. 

SUCDEN organizes the sourcing, transportation, storage, marketing, and distribution of commodities worldwide. Over the years, SUCDEN expanded its operations to include cocoa and coffee, together with other soft commodities and, as a result, created SUCDEN Côte d’Ivoire (“SUCDEN CI”or the “Borrower”) in 2011 to perform local purchases and export of cocoa beans from Côte d’Ivoire.  The objective of this SCP is to foster the development of Côte d’Ivoire’s cocoa value chain through SUCDEN CI which was to use the funds to pre-finance local suppliers and other working capital needs. The Program was designed to allow the Bank reach local cooperatives, and thus small farmers, without directly taking the risks on these counterparties. The idea was to support these vulnerable population through a global player that better understands their activity and which was able to take and manage the associated risks appropriately. The pre-financing was expected to help local suppliers and farmers grow their revenues, produce quality crops, and develop drying and storage facilities intended to help them capture more value along the cocoa value chain.  The beneficiaries of this Program were intended to be the local suppliers and cooperatives whose ability to fund cocoa working capital was constrained by lack of risk appetite from local banks, local buyers, and international exporters.

In addition, the LOCs are expected to have a tenor of 4 to 7 years, a size ranging between USD 1 million and USD 9 million, and will be provided in local currency when possible. At least 65 per cent of the total available envelope targets low-income countries and fragile states.  This Credit Line granted to Hannibal Lease (HL) aims to enable the development of its investment loan portfolio for Tunisian SMEs/SMIs, which dominate its customer base (95%). Hence, this line of credit should help HL to strengthen its competitive position on the financial leasing market for SMEs.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are local financial intermediaries (FIs) which could be banks or regulated non-bank financial institutions, such as leasing and factoring companies and microfinance institutions (MFIs). The final beneficiaries are SMEs.

Guinea - Vista Bank - Africa SME Programme. The proposed project is a line of credit of USD 8 million to the banking group Vista Bank in Guinea (Conakry). Vista Bank is a company with a new brand and a unique vision. Besides Guinea, it has banking subsidiaries in Sierra Leone and The Gambia  and aims to create a world-class pan-African group. Vista Bank is also working to deploy a new growth strategy that aims to gradually diversify the portfolio towards Guinean SMEs. It has 16 agencies in Guinea, including 9 in Conakry and 7 in the interior of the country  which together serve around 2,000 business customers, 80% of which are SMEs. This financial support should help support a dozen small and medium-sized enterprises microfinance institutions active in the agricultural value chain in Guinea. It is aimed primarily at women, who will benefit 60 percent of the resources of this line. Particular attention will therefore be paid to small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas, operating in the agricultural, livestock and agro-pastoral processing sectors, as well as young agricultural entrepreneurs. Over half of the resources in this line of credit are for microfinance institutions, partners of Vista Bank and will cover the needs of over 3,000 microprojects. In addition, Vista Bank will provide entrepreneurs with support in the form of advice, technical support, management and training to maximize the success rate of the operation. The African Development Bank will also support Vista Bank in boosting the capacity of its agricultural credit officers, risk management, project management, environmental and social management systems, and management and reporting. development results.  The project is intended to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the Guinean populations. Deployment of resources in support of SMEs will enable SMEs to access long-term resources and to make investments that have been inaccessible until now, due to lack of adequate resources. The project should lead to improving the rate of industrialization of Guinea, thanks in particular to the creation of value chains through the local processing of agricultural products.  The proposed facility is expected to generate solid development outcomes. One hundred per cent of the LoC placed at its disposal will be on-lent to SMEs, 72M of them in rural areas. This will help to unlock access to financing for the very vulnerable populations, thereby fostering wealth and local job creation, indispensable for reducing poverty and curbing rural exodus. Since 57% of the LoC will be on-lent to microfinance institutions active in rural areas and working with youth, this will help to finance over 3,000 micro-projects developed by women and youth especially in the handicrafts and agriculture sectors and help to develop Guinea’s agricultural potential. Vista Bank will lend the LoC to 9 SMEs whose value creation will impact 1,051 additional people. Among them, 624 will have direct jobs, 100 others temporary jobs and 327 smallholders’ associations will have market outlets for their agricultural produce. Forty-five per cent of these smallholders’ associations will be women’s associations, involved in the whole value chain, from production to sale on markets.

CBP’s client base of 25,000 comprises primarily of SMEs operating in the manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, health, agribusiness, trade and communications sectors. Currently, it is funded mainly from deposits. The LoC will diversify its funding base and reduce its funding cost. The facility also fits well with the financial sector development policy and strategy and will contribute to the Bank’s Jobs for Youth Programme and the Affirmative Finance Action for Women in Africa programme. A significant share of the proceeds of the loan are expected to flow through to the labourintensive agriculture value-chain in rural areas thus spurring job creation. It is expected that approximately 10% of the proceeds of the LoC will be dedicated to women-owned enterprises.  The over-arching objective of the project is to provide access to finance to SMEs, the “missing middle” in Kenya, thereby reducing their financing gap.  The facility’s proceeds will support transactions aimed at improving their productive capacities thereby enhancing entrepreneurship, job creation, income generation, and sustainable growth, leading to a multiplier effect on the country’s economic growth.

South Africa - Kalagadi Industrial Beneficiation Project. The Kalagadi Industrial and beneficiation project is an integrated project encompassing mining, processing and smelting of manganese ore. Mining/processing operations located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, and the smelter operations in the Eastern Cape Province. The project proposes to establish a new manganese mine located on three contiguous sites: Umtu (2,000 hectares), Olivepan and Gama (both 4,500 hectares), which represent a total area of approximately 6,500 hectares (ha) in the province of North Cape, South Africa. The settlement area is bounded by the Kalahari manganese mine (KMF), the largest manganese deposit in the world. The mine would be designed to produce up to 3 million tonnes of ore per year and produce up to 1.5 million tonnes per year of finished products in normal operation. The mine could also produce other materials based on market demand. Alternative materials in this case refer to ferromanganese (HCFeMn), whether it is the primary product or its substitute, silicomanganese (SiMn). It is expected that the manganese produced by the project will be exported.  The main objective of this project is to produce steel-manganese alloys (alloys are the mixture of two types of metals, here iron and manganese). Project will contribute to the revival of mining activities in the Northern Cape and provide significant economic benefits to both provinces through long-term employment and wealth creation opportunities during the life of the project.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the South African government and the households in its area of influence. The project will create in excess of 1,000 direct jobs and 19,767 indirect jobs in both provinces. Household income is estimated to increase by ZAR 767m in Northern Cape and R 865m in Eastern Cape. Across the economy, household income will increase by ZAR 3.2bn, and Government tax revenue boosted by ZAR 6.24bn.

The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the department of Mbour and more specifically the poorest strata and the entire Senegalese population thereafter. The project is expected to create approximately 300 jobs during the construction phase and approximately 50 to 60 jobs during the operation phase. It will also bring around € 99.8 million to the Senegalese government in the form of taxes over the life of the Electricity Purchase Agreement.

Kenya - Kopere Solar Power Project. The project concerns the design, construction and operation of a 40MWac net solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at 5 km from the center of Kopere in Nandi County. It falls under the Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) policy in Kenya. The Expression of Interest (EoI) to conduct the project was approved under the FiT application process governed by Government of Kenya (GoK). The project involves the construction of a 33/132 kV substation and a 1.8 km T-line to evacuate the electricity to the national grid via an existing 132 kV Lessos-Muhoroni T-line network operated by Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC), under a 20-year ‘take or pay’ Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). It will be located on a 157 ha site, near the villages of Kopere and Chemelil in the Songhor/Soba ward, Tinderet (sub-country), Nandi county in Kenya, about 295 km north-west of the capital Nairobi, and 52 km east of the third-largest city in the country, Kisumu.  The Kopere project will enhance energy access, infrastructure development, and private sector participation in the renewable energy sector while contributing to green growth, and job creation. The project will have an important demonstration effect and will attract more investors exploring solar opportunities in the country. Moreover, the project is expected to have strong development outcomes addressing Kenya’s growing demand for affordable electricity. Producing PV power will diversify Kenya’s energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.  The project is expected to generate around 101.9 GWh per year, thereby increasing Kenya’s generation capacity to be able to supply electricity to approximately 600,000 people through the grid. The project will save 1,081 kt CO2eq of GHG emissions during the operation of the project annually.

Ghana - Ghana Cocoa Board. The proposed operation is a 7-year, USD 600 million (USD150 million from the Bank, and USD 450 million from other financial institutions), receivable-backed, syndicated loan facility to Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) to finance key components of its Productivity Enhancement Programmes (PEPs). COCOBOD is a fully state-owned company solely responsible for Ghana’s cocoa industry, controlling the purchase, marketing and export of all cocoa beans produced in the country. The objective of the PEPs is to roll out a set of measures that will improve productivity per hectare and increase cocoa production levels well above 1 million tonnes per year (versus an average of 800,000 tonnes per year over the last ten years). The PEPs will mainly entail measures to sustainably increase plant fertility  develop irrigation systems   rehabilitate  aged  and  disease-infected  farms   increase  warehouse  capacity   and  create  an integrated farmer database. The programmes will also provide short-term working capital support to local cocoa-processing companies, thus facilitating domestic value addition and consumption of cocoa products in Ghana. This long-term investment would help to boost cocoa production through the rehabilitation of ageing plantations, finance new warehouses to store cocoa beans longer and boost the processing of cocoa beans. The Bank is expected to play two roles in this transaction  namely (i) acting as initial Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA)   and (ii) providing up to a maximum amount of USD 150 million secured senior loan to catalyze the participation of commercial lenders, given their customary limited risk appetite for tenures longer than the one-and three-year facilities that they have been accustomed to providing to COCOBOD.  COCOBOD will use the facility to raise cocoa yields per hectare and increase Ghana’s overall production. These include financial interventions to sustainably increase cocoa plant fertility, improving irrigation systems, rehabilitating aged and disease-infected farms. The funds will also help increase warehouse capacity and provide support to local cocoa-processing companies. Key development outcomes also include increase in sustainable farm productivity  effective disease control and management  agricultural transformation with domestic value-addition.  The operation is a mechanism for scaling up the cocoa value chain and will help to ensure higher incomes for Ghana’s cocoa farmers. It portends very strong gender and youth employment impacts as the cocoa sector employs mostly youth and women. The sector represents 8.2% of Ghana’s GDP, employs over 800,000 farmers, and supports the livelihood of around 4 million people and accounts for over 67% of household income. Farmers are guaranteed a minimum of 70% of the net world’s free-on-board (FOB) price of cocoa for their products.

South Africa - Redstone 100MW Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Project.

The Project scope includes a 4km access road, connecting the site to the Cairo-Aswa and construction is expected to last 10 months. The Bank provides a senior loan of up to USD 27.22 million with a tenor of up to 20 years which is not available from commercial sources. It complements other Bank’s operations in the energy sector in Egypt including the recent budget support to boost private sector investment in the energy sector and the 2017 facilities extended to the Egypt FiT projects (Alcazar, Delta and Shapoorji). Successful implementation of the project will enable diversification of the energy mix and further the green growth agenda of the bank.  The Project will increase Egypt’s installed power generation capacity from renewable sources, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It will lead to direct and indirect job creation during construction and during operation. The project will entail knowledge transfer to local stakeholders and local linkages with suppliers and service providers.  The Project will entail improved availability of clean power to consumers in Egypt. Furthermore, it is expected that the Project will generate 800 jobs during construction (400 full time equivalent) and 10 full time jobs during the operation of the power plant, 40% of which to be skilled. The female share of jobs is currently estimated at 2%.

Multinational - "Société Internationale de Plantations d'Hévéas (SIPH) – Tranche B". The Project is a corporate loan of up to EUR 30 million to participate in the strategic investment plan of “Société Internationale de Plantations d'Hévéas (SIPH)” whose main activity is the production, processing and marketing of natural rubber. Natural rubber production has traditionally been concentrated in Asia, but rubber growing is now developing in West Africa, and the Paris-based SIPH Group, founded in 1905, has been the main player in this development. As part of its development strategy on the West African market, SIPH has launched an investment programme of nearly EUR 210 million. This programme involves (i) increasing industrial processing capacity for natural rubber, and (ii) renewing and expanding existing rubber plantations. The programme aims to contribute to the industrial development of Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia where the Group owns several production units. The senior loan comprises two tranches: (i) a EUR 15 million tranche with a 6-year maturity (including a one-year grace period) and a EUR 15 million tranche over 10 years (including a four-year grace period). The Bank's contribution will primarily be used to finance the SIPH investment programme in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana as described in the table below. However, part of the funds may be mobilised for certain investments (CAPEX) in Nigeria and Liberia. The goal is to increase local processing capacity to reduce SIPH's dependence on external processing capacity, generally located in Asia. The project, which aims to transform rubber trees into natural rubber for export to international markets, will help to industrialise the West African rural areas concerned and to create zones of sustainable prosperity that actively foster the creation of wealth and employment for local communities, thereby limiting rural exodus.  SIPH's objective is to develop natural rubber processing capacity on the continent by processing the raw material locally to reduce the Group's dependency on external milling capacity generally located in Asia (i.e. more than 40% of African production is now exported for processing in Asia). The key investment components entail (i) increasing the capacity of processing natural rubber latex through construction of two plants in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana  and (ii) renewing ageing rubber trees and expanding plantations in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Liberia.  The Project aims to increase SIPH’s processing capacity from 260,000 tons in 2019 to about 448,000 tons by 2025, and expand the output of its own plantations from 72,000 tons in 2019 to 100,000 tons by 2027. SIPH is a major employer in West Africa, with over 12,000 workers in 4 countries. Approximately 1,200 direct full-time jobs are expected to be created in the course of the investment programme, in addition to a large number of indirect jobs throughout the value chain in remote areas. Furthermore, the project will enable the development of a local natural resource and generate foreign exchange earnings for Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Liberia. The Group is also a major social player at the local level with actions in favour of communities: more than 120 pre-primary and primary schools, 25,000 children enrolled, more than 15,000 housing units, 78 social/medical centres, dispensaries, maternity wards and infirmaries accessible to staff and all village communities. The rubber tree being a forest species and therefore less vulnerable to climate variability, the project will strengthen the resilience of farms to climate change, while contributing to the intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) of the four countries to emission reduction.

Multinational - Line of Credit to the Company for Habitat and Housing in Africa ("Shelter-Afrique"). This project is a financial support to the Housing and Housing Corporation in Africa (Shelter-Afrique or SHAF). SHAF is a pan-African institution created in 1982 by the governments of African countries, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Reinsurance Corporation and the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) Group to mobilize funds and support the promoting a sustainable habitat in Africa. This SHAF Support Project is designed to address the significant unsatisfied demand for sustainable housing that offers many business opportunities to Shelter Africa. Indeed, supply is below demand in all segments of the market, and governments are working to identify ways and means to address this issue, including greater use of private sector driven to fill the funding gap. The proposed financial support, including a Line of Credit (LOC), additional equity participation and technical assistance (TA), will assist Regional Member Countries (RMCs), SHAF and the Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) partners to deploy more sustained efforts, while complementing the Bank's current investment in SHAF and consolidating the partnership between the two institutions.

Technical assistance and Capacity Building to International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR). The present Technical Assistance Operation aims to strengthen institutional capacity of the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) Executive Secretariat and its implementing agencies to operationalize the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism. The Project is a Capacity Building intervention to support the Regional Initiative Against the Illegal Exploitation of Natural Resources (RINR). It's designed to break the link between armed conflict and mostly illegal mineral resource activities and revenues. The Project will consists of mainly three interrelated components, namely: : (i) Support for ICGLR institutional capacity-building  (ii) Implementation of the ICGLR Agreement on the Illegal Exploitation of Natural Resources  and (iii) Project management. A successful implementation of the RINR will cut off negative and conflict-inducing forces from access to mineral revenues. This in turn would deprive these groups of the means to continue their violent activities and serve as a disincentive for future rebel activities. A reduction in rebel activities will lead to a considerable improvement of the security situation in mining areas and to an overall stabilization of the sub-region for development.  The main objective is to create comprehensive tracking systems within ICGLR producer countries that will ensure only certified mineral shipments reach the world market and that mineral products from mining sites that are associated with the activities of armed groups are excluded. The project also aims at contributing to institutional strengthening of the ICGLR and capacity building of its staff which would enhance ICGLR's ability to deliver on its mandates  The project will benefit to the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) Executive Secretariat and its implementing agencies

The proposed operation involves the provision of grants totalling UA 5 million from the ADF-13 allocation of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar III resources to the Republics of Guinea (UA 1, 5 million to the Republics of Guinea (UA 1.5 million), Sierra Leone (UA 1.5 million), Liberia (UA 1.5 million), ECOWAS (UA 0.2 million) and MRU (UA 0.3 million) to train, mobilize and motivate health workers to fight Ebola. This is an innovative crisis response project aimed at addressing the institutional fragility in the region that fuelled and is exacerbated by the Ebola epidemic. The innovation stems from the use of the AU's medical personnel platform, which involves the recruitment of additional health human resources from the sub-region and the continent, in the spirit of "Africa helping Africa", to support the crisis response, and the provision of incentives for local human resource capacity, including targeted training. The project also relies on sub-regional institutions such as ECOWAS and the MRU to strengthen coordination between governments to stop the spread of the virus, create a platform for the active participation of the private sector in the fight against the epidemic, and increase public awareness and prevention measures throughout Africa, particularly in the affected region. The proposed operation identifies three mutually reinforcing components, namely: (i) mobilisation and payment of externally recruited medical personnel  (ii) provision of incentives and training for local health workers in the three affected countries  and (iii) private sector involvement and monitoring of the project at regional and country levels to ensure that there are no gaps in support, and that the resources provided to each country match its urgent needs.  The operation aims to address the shortage of medical personnel, provide targeted training and incentives to local health workers, and strengthen the resilience of health governance systems and related institutions. The project also aims to strengthen crisis response capacity within the continent. At the regional level, institutions such as ECOWAS and the MRU are strengthening monitoring and evaluation and encouraging the private sector within the affected countries to participate in epidemic control and capacity building. The main goal is to strengthen health sector institutions to stop the spread of EVD, reduce EVD-related morbidity and mortality, and improve outbreak response capacity.  This project builds on the Ebola Sector Budget Support operation, which covers all MRU member states, and the recently approved US$60 million Ebola Response Project. It is a rapid response to the fragility in the three affected countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia), particularly the lack of human resource capacity and systems to respond to the Ebola epidemic. To date, Côte d'Ivoire has not reported any cases of Ebola and is therefore not included in the current project, but will benefit from the regional coordination of ECOWAS and the MRU. The project will directly benefit the population of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, as well as neighbouring countries, specifically targeting individuals and communities in urban and rural areas, to stop the spread of Ebola. The project will also benefit health workers, communities and institutional systems in ECOWAS and the MRF by strengthening their capacity to respond to disasters and to reinforce the African Solidarity Initiative. The project will promote gender balance in the recruitment and selection of health workers for the programme and training.

Multinational - Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Project to Regional Centre on Small Arms (RECSA). Multinational - Projet d'assistance technique et de renforcement des capacités du Centre régional sur les armes légères (RECSA)

Multinational - Crisis response: Technical Assistance to African Union to support countries most affected with ebola. The Technical Assistance Project to African Union to support countries most affected with ebola is designed as a response to the crisis to strengthen institutions and capacities, through Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TAF). It is an innovative crisis-response project aimed at reducing institutional fragility in the region, which has fueled and is exacerbated by the Ebola epidemic. It draws on the Ebola Sector Budget Support Project, which covers all MRU Member States, and the Ebola Project (US $ 60 million). The project is grounded in the AU's call to mobilize health professionals and is a rapid response to fragility in the three affected countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia), and particularly the lack of capacity of human resources and systems to respond to the Ebola epidemic. The innovation results from the use of the AU Medical Staff Platform which involves the recruitment of additional health human resources from the subregion and continent, in the spirit of Africa ", support in the response to the crisis, and the adoption of incentives for local human resource capacity, including targeted training. The project also relies on sub-regional institutions such as ECOWAS and the MRU to strengthen coordination among governments to stop the spread of the virus, create a platform for active private sector involvement in the fight against the epidemic, and increase public awareness and prevention measures everywhere in Africa, particularly in the affected region. The project will support i) the deployment of 85 external health professionals including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, clinical officers, social workers, public health workers, and laboratory technicians, (ii) approximately 1839 local health workers will be covered under the incentive scheme and vocational training, (iii) about 450 health extension agents will be trained, and (iv) the recruitment of appropriate local health workers in the three countries.  The main objective is to strengthen health sector institutions to halt the spread of EVD, reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease, and improve the response capacity to outbreaks. The purpose of this operation is specifically to address the shortage of medical staff, to provide targeted training and incentives to local health workers, and to strengthen the resilience of health governance systems and related institutions. The project also aims to strengthen crisis response capabilities within the continent.  The project will directly benefit the people of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, as well as neighboring countries, particularly targeting individuals and communities in both urban and rural areas, to stem the spread of Ebola disease. The project will also benefit ECOWAS and WRF health workers, communities and institutional systems by strengthening their capacities to better respond to disasters and strengthen the African Solidarity Initiative.

Multinational - Project to support the reform of public procurement systems in the WAEMU region - Phase II. The regional public procurement reform project is consistent with the member States’ fiscal consolidation efforts and measures to promote good governance. It is the result of efforts being made by WAEMU to forge a harmonised legal framework that can boost the emergence of a dynamic and competitive regional economy able to successfully integrate the global economy. The project is to consolidate the outcomes of the first successful phase, implemented between 2002 and 2005 with the support of the Bank and the World Bank, through: (i) giving effective implementation to the Community regulations adopted by WAEMU in December 2005  (ii) incorporation of these regulations into the country legislations of the eight WAEMU countries  (iii) adoption of a sub-regional information system  (iv) strengthening the public procurement capacity of the different economic operators  and (v) capacity building for WAEMU, which has responsibility for ensuring compliance with the regulations. In addition to the harmonisation of the country systems of the eight member countries, the project, when implemented, will help to modernise and restore monitorable transparency by shortening the length of the pubic procurement cycle, reducing the number of direct negotiation contracts, and diversifying bidders by rationalizing procurement procedures and reducing the number of complaints from economic operators. The project will have three main components: (i) Development and Promotion of a Community Framework for Public Procurement  (ii) Building Institutional and Human Capacity in the Commission and the Member States   and (iii) Project Management.  The objective of the Regional Public Procurement Reform Project is to modernize and harmonise public procurement systems in the Union’s member countries by effectively implementing the community regulations on public procurement (RCMP) adopted by WAEMU in December 2005.  The project will benefit: i) Administrations of Member States  ii) operators in the private sector  iii) development partners (multilateral and bilateral)  iv) representatives of civil society (consumers, NGOs, and local governments etc…). The project will also benefit all WAEMU member countries as it will help to modernise and harmonise their country procurement systems and build their institutional capacity to manage their modernized systems. Others who will benefit from the project are the consumers in the member States who will have access to suppliers from outside WAEMU for their needs.

Multinational - Ebola Sector Budget Support – Fight Back Programme (EFBP). The Fight Back Ebola Programme complements the recently approved emergency operations for the ECOWAS region in response to the Ebola epidemic. It is an emergency operation that will contribute towards addressing the financial needs of Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The three latter countries are the most affected by the epidemic and their economies are experiencing a major shock affecting economic growth, fiscal revenues and the overall socio-economic environment, in particular for women. The programme is a response to both the emergency created by the Ebola epidemic, and the need to address the longer term requisites for the economic resilience of the concerned countries through strengthened systems and improved preparedness. The programme will also help preserve Côte d’Ivoire, the economic hub of the sub-region, against the epidemic. Côte d’Ivoire is threatened by the epidemic and although its preparedness is judged satisfactory, incurs additional expenditures arising from the implementation of preparedness plans.  The purpose of the proposed emergency programme is to support the efforts of the four targeted countries in controlling the Ebola outbreak, mitigating its socio-economic effects and enhancing their preparedness. The operation has the specific aim to strengthen the capacity of beneficiary countries to handle similar events in the future.  The programme’s beneficiaries include the population of the target countries at large, through the mitigation of the effects of the epidemic on national budgets, thus countries’ capacity to deliver public services. More specifically, the Bank’s budget support will benefit: - Community members including youth, women, men and children in Ebola affected communities in rural and urban areas especially in trans-border areas. - Health facility staff such as doctors, nurses, midwives, and other support staff who are responsible for treating sick patients and disposing contagious waste. - Community surveillance workers who are responsible for contact tracing and monitoring disease transmission.

Multinational - Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation - Framework Program in Support of “Feed Africa” Paper. The Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation Project (TAAT) is a dynamic framework that assists the Regional Member Countries (RMCs) of the Bank in their agricultural transformation agenda by raising productivity of crops and livestock through the deployment of proven agricultural technologies. The project aims to radically improve agriculture as a business across Africa by deploying agricultural productivity-increasing technologies within eight Priority Intervention Areas (PIAs): i) Self-sufficiency in Rice Production, ii) Cassava Intensification, iii) Food and Nutrition Security in the Sahel, iv) Transforming African Savannahs into Breadbaskets, v) Revitalizing Tree Plantations, vi) Expanding Horticulture, vii) Increasing Africa’s Wheat Production, and viii) Achieving Self-sufficiency in Inland Fish Production. The role of TAAT in particular is to improve outcomes at the beginning of this chain by increasing productivity, as well as resilience to weather and disease-related risks, providing a much more solid basis from which to build strong production systems and markets that make African agribusinesses successful. TAAT will work in concert with the other initiatives to foster the deployment of commercially viable technologies with improved access to input and output markets, and other enablers such as innovative finance and soft/hard infrastructure.  The development objective of TAAT is to rapidly expand access of smallholder farmers, majority women, to high yielding agricultural technologies to improve their food production, assure food security and raise rural incomes, and deliver regional public goods by scaling up agricultural technologies across similar agro-ecological zones. Overall TAAT has three main objectives: i) Creating an enabling environment for technology adoption by famers via policies for deployment and adoption of food production technologies that are regionally harmonized, food and nutrition conscious, and environmentally sustainable  ii) Facilitate effective delivery of technologies to farmers by working with existing Regional Technology Delivery Infrastructure in a compact with RMCs, represented by NARES, private sector actors, and an independent technology Clearinghouse  iii) Raising agricultural production and productivity through the identification and deployment of appropriate technologies, including nutrient dense crop varieties, and vigorous crop outreach campaigns, extension, and market linkage campaigns, in RMCs.  Project beneficiaries include a variety of stakeholders: agripreneurs, farmer based organizations and cooperatives, commodity processors, private sector operators, registered SMEs, seeds producers, agro-input dealers, service providers, millers, aggregator and market operators, and young graduates.

Multinational - African Project Development Facility (APDF). The general goal of APDF is to contribute to the acceleration of productive enterprises sponsored by African entrepreneurs. The Facility does not provide financing but works with entrepreneurs on the preparation of viable projects and helps them secure financing from banks and appropriate sources of capital. The services of APDF include helping entrepreneurs prepare market reports, feasibility studies, and other studies needed for project preparation. It also identifies promising African entrepreneurs and helps them organise, diversify and expand their businesses and works with these entrepreneurs through out the project preparation cycle until they secure funding for the project. In special situations, the Facility also assists entrepreneurs in project implementation. APDF typically supports projects with investment cost ranging from USD 250,000 to USD 7 million, but also considers smaller projects (not less than USD 125,000) depending on the economic conditions in the entrepreneur's country and the social and economic impact the project might have.

Multinational - (Burundi) Rumonge-Gitaza (45 km) and Kabingo-Kasulu-Manyovu (260 km) Road Upgrading Project. The proposed Project concerns the upgrading of Kabingo – Kasulu - Manyovu Road Section (260 km) in Tanzania and Rumonge - Gitaza Road Section (45 km) in Burundi on the Central Corridor. This Corridor is also a priority under the Project for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). The Project addresses the missing segments of economically significant priority roads in the East African Community region. It is expected to facilitate mobility, boost regional trade and open up access to rural areas. More specifically, it will facilitate the movement of goods and persons along the Kabingo – Kasulu – Manyovu – Gitaza - Rumonge road thereby boosting trade between the two Countries and with the EAC region and increasing community access to basic services. The project will be implemented over a 5-year period. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 249.93 million.  The project sector goals is to strengthen regional integration and trade in EAC Region, particularly between Tanzania & Burundi through improved cross-border transport thereby contributing to poverty reduction and improved living conditions of the people. Its specific objectives are: (i) the reduction of vehicle operating costs and improvement of road safety  (ii) reduction in logistical costs and  (iii) improvement of access to socio-economic and health infrastructure located along Project roads in the region of Kigoma and province of Rumonge in Tanzania and Burundi respectively.  The main beneficiaries of the project are farmers who experience difficulties in procuring inputs and in marketing their produce due to the poor state of the roads. The project will have a positive impact, especially on women and young people because it will improve their access to socio-economic infrastructure and create new initiatives. The Project area population is 3.7 million inhabitants and especially the disadvantaged groups (women and children), which constitute the greater majority. The other beneficiaries are industrialists, traders and transporters whose operating and logistical costs will be significantly reduced due to the improvement and upgrading of the main road and rehabilitation of the rural roads.

Multinational -  The Mueda – Negomano Road Project Phase II. The Mueda – Negomano Road Project Phase II comprises the upgrading of 35 km of the road to paved standard. It aims to improve transport infrastructure in Mozambique and Tanzania and the region as a whole by providing a direct road link with Tanzania in bituminous standards and promote social inclusion of the communities along the road. The project is expected to rehabilitate the Roma-Nambungale road (35 km) by paving it with bitumen to standard standards, including the construction of structures and a bicycle lane. The pavement is a dual layer (RB) surfacing. The project involves three major bridges (along the Roma-Nambungale section), two of which will have a total length of 100 m and the third a length of 40 m. It also includes a social inclusion programme to improve the livelihoods of local people and communities along the road. The total cost of the project is US$ 34.06 million (UA 24.48 million). The Civil works will be implemented over a 24-month period.  The project objective is to improve transport infrastructure in Mozambique and Tanzania and the region as a whole by providing a reliable land transport link between the two (2) countries and promote social inclusion of the communities along the road.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the population living within the project zone of influence in Cabo Delgado Province. The benefits include improved facilitation of regional integration with Tanzania, improved transport links, social facilities, and job opportunities both in the short and long terms. Beneficiaries of the project include traders and road users, who transport goods between Tanzania and Mozambique. As the project complements the already constructed Unity Bridge between the two countries, the successful completion of the project, will benefit users with more direct and shorter journeys to the ports of Pemba in Mozambique and Mtwara in Tanzania, effectively enhancing regional integration and regional trade.

Multinational - Burundi and Zambia - Lake Tanganyika Transport Corridor Development Project Phase I: Rehabilitation of Bujumbura Port. The proposed Lake Tanganyika Transport Corridor Development Project will boost regional integration and significantly reduce trade costs between riparian countries (Burundi, DRC, Tanzania and Zambia). Multimodal links with Central Corridor roads and railways will provide greater transport connectivity with other countries in the sub-region, such as Uganda and Rwanda. The project will therefore unlock Lake Tanganyika’s potential as an inland waterway and provide a platform that would link the Northern (Mombasa in Kenya), Central (Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania) and Southern (Mpulungu in Zambia/ Durban in South Africa) Road Corridors. The rehabilitation of Bujumbura Port will achieve the following key outcomes: (i) reduction of import/export costs by about 30%  (ii) improvement of service level and productivity by reducing port of call times for vessels and increasing the capacity ofterminals  (iv) development of economic opportunities and an entrepreneurial network along Bujumbura Port  and (v) about 20% increase in cross-border trade with countries bordering the Lake. The project has five (5) components: (A) Rehabilitation of Bujumbura Port and Access Roads  (B) Port Facilities  (C) Institutional Support and Capacity Building  (D) Trade and Transport Facilitation  and (E) Project Management.  The main project objective is to improve the regional transport network so as to foster trade and contribute to the region's economic growth. Development of regional infrastructure is required to improve competitiveness and strengthen regional integration. The main objective has specific objectives as follows: (i) increase the capacity and efficiency of Bujumbura (Burundi) and Mpulungu (Zambia) ports so as to improve regional connectivity  (ii) boost regional trade along the integrated Lake Tanganyika corridor and interconnect with existing regional trade corridors  and (iii) improve living conditions for the population in the project area.  The project beneficiaries will mainly comprise: (i) stakeholders of Bujumbura Port, including AMPF, the concession holder of Bujumbura Port, carriers and ship-owners, following the rehabilitation of infrastructure and acquisition of new port equipment  (ii) customs, immigration and maritime police services following the establishment of a single window to streamline procedures  (iii) manufacturers following the reduction in transport costs and time  (iv) the population of the project area for the employment opportunities that will be created  (v) women involved in post-harvest fishing activities, fishermen and the fishermen's association for the support they will receive and the protection of 21 fish spawning grounds under the project  and (vi) small businesses operating around the port as a result of support for the development of entrepreneurship in the area.

Multinational - East African Community Payment and Settlement Systems Integration Project (EAC-PSSIP) - South Sudan. The proposed operation is a technical and institutional support project, financed by a grant from the Regional Operations of ADF-14 not exceeding UA 2.9 million and TSF Pillar I not exceeding UA 1.9 million as grant resources to support South Sudan. The project involves support to Republic of South Sudan (RSS) to modernize payment systems to improve financial services at national level and eventual integration within the EAC partner states. It has three components: (a) Integration of Financial Market Infrastructure  (b) Harmonization of financial laws and regulations  and (c) Institutional and Capacity Building. The intervention will also support institutional capacity building by supporting the restructuring and strengthening of the Central Bank and creation of a dedicated department to provide oversight and supervision of the payment systems in the country. The project will contribute to the modernization, harmonization and regional integration of payment and settlement systems in RSS to be at the same level as other EAC Partner States, and develop common standards for instruments together with appropriate regulatory and legislative practices.  The sector goal of the grant is to achieve full economic and monetary union of EAC’s six-member states: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan. The primary objective of the Project is to improve the basic infrastructure of the financial s ector in South Sudan through provision of modernized payment systems to enhance the performance of the country’s financial systems. The second objective will be to enhance convergence and regional integration of payments and settlement systems  strengthening a harmonized legal and regulatory framework for the financial sector and capacity building in the areas of payments and settlement in South Sudan.  The direct beneficiaries of the project include the Central Bank of South Sudan (BSS), the Commercial Banks, other financial institutions and the judiciary. However, given the expected improvements to the efficiency of payments processing and funds transfers in the other five covered countries, the ultimate beneficiaries would be businesses (especially SMEs) and all users of banking services (including women who constitute the majority of the population) through their increased participation and inclusion in the formal financial sector. The citizens of South Sudan will benefit from modernized financial services and increase financial inclusion. The efficiency and reliability to be delivered, and expanded financial intermediation, will result in improving governance at country level, minimizing the use of cash, strengthening and integration of the national payment systems into the six countries designed to encourage a greater proportion of the population to migrate into the formal financial sector. The project would also create an enabling environment for the private sector. As a Regional Public Good, strengthening of the payment and settlement systems will enhance regional integration and financial governance.

Multinational - Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 Response - CRF. The project is relates to an ADF-15 grant of UA 10 million and TSF-Pillar III grant of UA 10 million to the African Union to finance the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) COVID-19 Response Project. The COVID-19 pandemic will reverse Africa’ robust growth trajectory over the last decade. As a direct result of the economic recession, social gains achieved over the past decades risk being eroded. The Bank Group’s support to Africa CDC through the Regional Public Good (RPG) and the Transition Support Facility (TSF) resources is substantiated by the need to increase the scale, effectiveness and responsiveness to the current pandemic at national, regional and continental levels as well as to enhance the capacity of member countries to deal with future health emergencies. As an institution of the AU, the Africa CDC has the mandate to strengthen regional and country capacities to detect, respond to, and mitigate the health and economic impacts of COVID-19, while also building long-term capacity to manage future pandemics and outbreaks. The intervention is critical to prevent, address and mitigate the complex, multidimensional and dynamic drivers of fragility as well as their regional spill-over risks. The operation was appraised in May 2020 following a request from the Africa Union Commission (AUC) and the design followed the Bank's COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF) approved by the Boards of Directors in April 2020. It complements other COVID-19 response support that the Bank is providing through Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and directly to countries as Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS). Given the need to reinforce the capacity of Africa CDC beyond the COVID-19 response, the project will be implemented in the form of a Regional Public Good (RPG) covering capacity building and technical assistance over a period of thirty-six (36) months starting in August 2020, covering three components with activities implemented at continental and institutional levels. The grant resources will be ring-fenced to support only the needs of ADF eligible countries to execute their COVID-19 Response plans.  The goal of this project is to reinforce the delivery capacity of the Africa CDC (including its Regional Collaborating Centers) to mitigate and contain COVID-19 pandemic, while also building long-term capacity to manage future pandemics and outbreaks, including those resulting from impacts of climate such as floods and drought. The project will support the African Union COVID-19 Response Fund and Africa CDC Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan (PPRP) in the following areas: (i) strengthen surveillance at points of entry (air, sea and land) while easing the free flow of goods  (ii) build essential sub-regional and national capacity for COVID-19 epidemiological surveillance and case management  (iii) ensure the availability of stocks of products and equipment for the prevention, control and treatment of cases  and (iv) ensure communication and coordination at the regional level. The expected outcome from the intervention is a stronger Africa CDC that is able to coordinate the COVID-19 response and future epidemics across member countries in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners.  The operation will enhance containment of COVID-19 outbreaks in Africa. The direct beneficiaries of the operation are: (i) Africa CDC by strengthening its institutional capacity to better coordinate continental health risks and support the AUC in the effective utilization of funds mobilized for the AU COVID-19 Response Fund  and (ii) ADF eligible countries (directly and indirectly) through enhanced capacity for surveillance, testing, early detection and management of COVID-19 infections as well as institutional IPC. As a pandemic does not respect boarder, the indirect beneficiaries are the 1.293 billion Africans (over 50% of whom are women) who will be cushioned from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other benefits include Africa CDC’s ability to improve timely response actions to other non-COVID-19 disease outbreaks and build support to deepen the resilience of public health systems. Africa CDC is working with member countries to assess and manage issues related to regions/areas/populations at risk, particularly those in fragile situations.

South Sudan - Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa. The Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS) is designed as a follow-on phase of the DRSLP with the objective of improving the living standards for women, youth, and the population in general. BREFONS is one of the priority programs identified under the Horn of Africa Initiative. This regional Program was prepared and designed to be implemented in six countries, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan. Due to the uncertain security situation in two of the countries, Ethiopia and Sudan, Program implementation in these countries will be deferred until a more conducive environment is attained. Implementation will therefore be undertaken in a phased approach with the first phase being in four countries (Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan) with a follow up phase in Ethiopia and Sudan at a later period. The Program has four components: (i) strengthening pastoral and agropastoral production systems’ resilience to climate change  (ii) supporting the development of agribusiness  (iii) building the capacity of pastoral and agropastoral communities to adapt to climate change  and (iv) coordination of the program. The total program cost is UA 97.60 million which will benefit approximately 3 million pastoralists and farmers.  The main outcomes include: (i) Increased agricultural (crops and livestock) production to up 30%, (ii) Increased annual income per capita by about 30%, (iii) 180,000 pastoralists and farmers with access to TAAT innovative technologies and practices, (iv) 450,000 pastoralists and farmers benefiting from extension by using digital advisory services under the program, (v) 35,000 additional jobs created for youth and women, (vi) Increased number of farmers and pastoralists using climate services e.g., index-based insurance, with a gender focus to 800,000 people and (vii) Periodic monitoring and reporting of the state of resilience at the national and regional levels.  BREFONS’s beneficiaries include populations in the Horn of Africa affected by climate change, including increased temperatures, high rainfall variability, and intense flooding, each of which have serious socioeconomic consequences. The program’s approach is to deploy an integrated suite of interventions to build resilience to climate change in these populations and improve food and nutrition security. Priority is given to areas in the IGAD cross-border clusters and economic corridors.

Multinational - Pointe-Noire-Brazzaville-Bangui-Ndjamena Multimodal Transport Corridor Development Project, Phase I. The proposed project concerns the development of the Pointe-Noire-Brazzaville-Bangui-Ndjamena multimodal transport corridor. This involves ADF financing of 207.92 million Units of Account and TAF (Pillar I) financing of 1.50 million Units of Account in the form of a grant to the Central African Republic for the implementation of the first phase. The corridor thus determined is part of the Central African Consensual Transport Master Plan (PDCT-AC), adopted under the aegis of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). Thus structured, the project will have a combination of road and river components on the section linking Pointe-Noire to Bangui via Brazzaville and will lead to the diversification of the corridors for improving the accessibility of landlocked countries in the sub-region (CAR and Chad) and opening them up to the sea. It will enhance regional integration, particularly by fostering the implementation of the continental free trade area. The gradual approach adopted will make it possible, during Phase 1 in CAR and Congo and, through a combination of river and road infrastructure, to ensure the flow of traffic: (i) on the road portion of the corridor pending the completion of a fully asphalted link with neighbouring Congo down to the Pointe Noire Port via Brazzaville, and also (ii) on the river route linking the two countries on the Congo River and its Oubangui tributary. The total cost of Phase 1 of this project is estimated at UA 391.55 million, equivalent to XAF 308.16 billion.  The development objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the inter-state road and river transport system and the promotion of intra-regional trade in Central Africa. Its specific objective is to help improve the quality of service offered by the road and river transport logistics chain on the Pointe-Noire-Brazzaville-Bangui-Ndjamena corridor, as well as the living conditions of the inhabitants of the area.  In Congo, the project area crosses the Sangha Department, whose capital city is Ouesso, and the Likouala Department. The road crosses five districts comprising Ouesso, Mokeko, Dongou, Enyellé and Bétou. Sangha has a population of 85,738 inhabitants, or 2.3% of the total population of Congo. Likouala is home to 154,115 people, or 4.2% of the country’s total population. Women account for an average of 66% of this population. In CAR, the project is located entirely in the departments of Lobaye, Ombella M'poko, Ouham and part of Ouham-Pende. The population of the project’s direct impact area is estimated at 126,448 inhabitants, comprising 55,654 men and 70,794 women. The main beneficiaries of the project are (i) farmers, who find it difficult to obtain inputs and market their products due to poor road conditions  (ii) women and young people in the project impact area (PIA) who will benefit from the income-generation and social inclusion activities  and (iii) road and river transport operators.

Madagascar - Beira Port: Corridor Development and Trade Facilitation Project, Phase II. The Madagascar-Beira Port Corridor Development and Trade Facilitation Project, Phase II, involves the construction of two road sections, namely RN 9 in the South-West, Manja and Dabara section, over 185 km, and RNT 12A in the South-East, Ebakiky (KP 44+150) - Manambondro (KP 165+400) section, and the construction of eleven (11) bridges between KP 56 and KP 175, as well as the implementation of trade facilitation activities. It is an ADF loan of UA 125 million (comprising UA 50 million from the country allocation for Madagascar and UA 75 million from the regional package). This project will help improve accessibility to rural and agricultural areas which, through the link to Tulear and Fort Dauphin port facilities, will open new opportunities for increased trade with COMESA, SADC, and Indian Ocean countries. The project will continue with PACFC I activities in the "Trade Facilitation" component. To sustain PACFC I achievements in line with AFE requirements, Madagascar intends to work towards strengthening the National Trade Facilitation Committee responsible for coordinating and monitoring the national trade facilitation system. The overall project implementation schedule is spread over 5 years, from 2022 to 2026. Through the Port of Beira, Mozambique will be primarily concerned with studies and other influencing frameworks on trade facilitation, but also the interconnections between the Port of Tulear and the Port of Beira. In a subsequent phase, the Beira Corridor as a whole will be taken into consideration.  The project’s sector objective is to improve accessibility and promote the concept of corridors for road transport infrastructure in Madagascar in efforts to foster trade from Madagascar to the continent and the rest of the world, especially Asia as well as imports. The project’s specific objectives are to (i) improve accessibility to southern Madagascar  (ii) promote trade and investment by facilitating export, imports and investment procedures and developing a competitive culture to enhance the various typical products of southern Madagascar, particularly agriculture, mining, and tourism, and diversify supply  and (iii) support the interconnection of maritime transport networks in the Indian Ocean and Beira Corridor, for which Mozambique is the gateway.  The Area of influence of the Corridor Development and Trade Facilitation Project (PACFC-2) is both: (i) the regions of Anôsy and Atsimo Atsinanana (zone of influence of RNT 12A), including the districts of Taolagnaro and Vangaindrano  and (ii) the Menabe region (zone of influence of RN 9). The two regions have a total population of 1,598,600 inhabitants according to the 2020 general population census and will benefit directly and indirectly from the Project. The populations benefiting directly from the project are mainly farmers, fishermen and agropastoralists, especially traders, estimated at about 800,000 inhabitants, including those benefiting from the following agricultural projects: (i) the PICAS project (Anosy and Androy regions), which is currently being evaluated by the Bank  and (ii) the 2PDA-RDBM project (Menabe region), for which an ADF project preparation fund is currently being appraised.

Kenya - Horn of Africa Isiolo  Mandera Corridor El Wak Rhamu Road Upgrading Project. The Project road, El Wak – Rhamu Road, is part of the 740 km IsioloWajir-Mandera road corridor located in the North-Eastern region of Kenya. This corridor is one of the four priority corridors identified under the Horn of Africa Initiative, by the participating governments- Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea. It is one of the major international trunk roads linking Kenya with the Republic of Somalia at El Wak and Mandera and Ethiopia at Rhamu and, therefore, forms a strategic regional route. The Project road traverses one of the marginalized, relatively underdeveloped, arid areas of Kenya with relatively high levels of poverty among the communities and insecurity incidences. The existing road is in a poor condition resulting in long travel time when traversing the region and ultimately high transport costs. The prevailing conditions therefore present unattractive environment for doing business. The Project consists of upgrading of El Wak – Rhamu (142km) section of the corridor, construction of town loop roads, flood mitigation measures, provision of a virtual axle load weighing station and construction of access roads. The development of this Project road will ease transport, promote trade, alleviate poverty, and promote regional integration. It will also result in improved security management in the area and therefore contribute to a reduction in fragility. The total cost of the Project is UA 157.41 million (KES 24.216 billion). The overall implementation period is 5 years.  The development objective of the Project is to improve transport and trade along the Isiolo – Mandera Corridor. The specific objectives of the Project are to improve road transport services along the corridor by reducing travel time and vehicle operating costs and to improve road traffic safety along the road.  Project beneficiaries are the Project area residents who will benefit from the increased trade and greater economic opportunities which will accrue through creation of employment opportunities for both skilled and semi-skilled labour. The Project will also significantly benefit the regional traders and transporters who will have an improved access to a more secure corridor. The Project will also enhance regional integration between Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

Multinational - Capacity Building for The Operationalization of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) Regional Power Market Trade Project. The present intervention concerns the Capacity Building for The Operationalization of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) Regional Power Market Trade Project. The project aims to provide support to EAPP to establish the regional power market trade in Eastern Africa, thereby improving access to reliable, clean and affordable electricity in the Region. The key expected output is finalization of shadow market operations, i.e. power market modelling and simulation of the existing bilateral trade, which is a final step in the transition to real market trade. Shadow market operations will provide sound data on which to base market design and identify regulatory bottlenecks to inform responses. The Project will also support the harmonization of regulatory framework for power trading, such as wheeling arrangements to facilitate cross-country power trade. The second output is the full establishment of the EAPP Market Committee (MC), with capacity in regional power market development. The project has two main components, namely: (i) capacity building for market readiness and (ii) project management.  The project’s objective is to enhance the capacity for commercial reediness as a last step towards real power market trading.  The direct beneficiaries the capacity building activities are the EAPP General Secretariat and the power Utilities in the 11 EAPP Member Countries. Indirect beneficiaries will be electricity users in the EAPP Member countries who will benefit from enhanced access to reliable and affordable power, since competitive regional pool is expected to lead to a reduction in tariffs.

Multinational - PIDA Implementation Support Project (PISP). The proposed intervention is a Technical Assistance Project designed to facilitate the development and implementation of Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA - PAP 2) priority projects. The proposed investment by the Bank in this project will complement support being provided to the PIDA programme from other Development Partners, notably the European Union (EU) and the German Development Agency (GIZ). The PIDA Implementation Support Project (PISP) will be implemented through a collaborative effort with all active and interested development partners supporting the PIDA programme. Implementation of the PISP will help to accelerate the implementation of Africa’s priority and transformative continental and regional infrastructure projects deepening integration and fostering economic growth. The significant deficit in Africa’s infrastructure leads to increased production and transaction costs, reduced competitiveness of businesses, and negative impact on foreign direct investment flows to the continent and therefore limits the rate of economic and social development on the continent. The total project cost is estimated at UA 5.5 million to be financed by an ADF Grant (UA 5 million) from the Regional Operations envelop, Regional Public Goods (RPG) window, and African Union Development Agency (AUDA NEPAD) counterpart funding (USD 0.5) million. The project is scheduled to be completed over a 48-month period and shall comprise three components (i) Technical Assistance for Implementation of PIDA PAP 2, (ii) Support to Continental PIDA Policy and Strategic Advocacy and, (iii) Program Monitoring & Evaluation.  The project’s development objective is to facilitate and accelerate the implementation of PIDA Priority Action Plan (PIDA PAP 2, 2021 to 2030) by strengthening the technical capacity of AUC, AUDA-NEPAD and RECs, thereby enhancing Africa’s physical and economic integration and socio-economic development. The project seeks to support the advancement to implementation of PIDA PAP 2 projects in all the 5 geographic regions of the continent, in all the four PIDA sectors by 2025.  The immediate beneficiaries of the project will be AUC and AUDA NEPAD and the 8 official RECs recognized by the AU (IGAD, ECCAS, CENSAD, COMESA, EAC, ECOWAS, UMA and SADC) whose capacities to effectively manage the technical work necessary for the PIDA PAP2implementation are expected to be enhanced. Additionally, public sector officials and  private  sector  operators  from  the  RMCs  will  benefit  from  the PIDA  PAP  2 project components. All recruitment of Technical Assistants and experts will be guided by principles of gender inclusion and equal opportunity. RMCs and their populations will benefit from the improved infrastructure that will result from the efficient implementation of the priority project included in the PIDA programme. All stakeholders to Africa’s development will also benefit from improved and more accessible information on infrastructure  and investment opportunities in Africa to inform and improve the quality of their interventions or investments.

Multinational - Trans-Sahara Optical Fibre Backbone Project. The multinational component of the Trans-Sahara Optical Fibre Backbone (TSB) Project aims to achieve the interconnection between Niger, Algeria, Nigeria and Chad through the laying of 1 510 kilometres of optical fibre cables. The project is a natural extension of the Trans-Saharan Highway (RTS). It has been attached to the Trans-Saharan Highway project to connect all concentrations of people on its route by road to other parts of the country and, beyond, the world. The proposed intervention consists of completing the missing links in Niger and Chad of the trans-Saharan ridge. The project intends to establish pilot data centres, eGovernment platforms and an Integrated Management System for the Electronic Identification of People (SIGIEP) in both countries. It also plans, among other things, to provide institutional support for the conduct of feasibility studies on the continuous implementation of the project, support ICT regulatory authorities and national agencies, academic institutions as well as a component that focuses on women’s empowerment. The project will contribute to reducing spatial exclusion and gaps in terms of existing transmission capacity in areaslocated within both countries, while laying the basis for the future development of e-Commerce, mobile financial services, e-Government, etc. It will be implemented over a four-year period from 2017 to 2020 for a total cost estimated at UA 62.262 million.  The overall project objective in both countries is to contribute to diversifying the economy by promoting the emergence of a digital economy in Niger and Chad through digital inclusion. The specific project objective is to ease access by the population, government services and businesses to quality, reliable and affordable telecommunication/ICT services in both countries.  The beneficiaries of the extended project area will be the entire population of both countries (Niger and Chad) and even beyond throughout the region. In addition, it is expected that at least 30 000 women will be trained in the use of ICT tools each year in both countries. Lastly, 40 students (24 of them female students) completing postgraduate programmes in telecommunication/ICT in Niamey EST and the University of Ndjamena could benefit from a doctoral fellowship as part of the training of trainers in ICT. Both countries’ private operators (telephone companies, banks, etc.) will also benefit from the achievements of the project through the easy extension of their service offers to all localities served by optical fibre cable.

Côte d'Ivoire - Regional African Trade Insurance Country Membership Programme (RACMP). This programme will initially cover three countries (Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, and Ethiopia),
with a possibility of extending to cover all qualifying African countries, in order to broaden the
development impact of the ATI’s interventions. It has to be noted that these countries, through
their respective mandated officials, have submitted written requests to the Bank to support this
initiative as it is perceived to enhance their individual national development strategies/plans
(NDPs). The Programme is also in line with the respective CSPs for the three countries as well as
the RISPs of Eastern and Western Africa. In Ethiopia the initiative will enhance the business
climate by ‘deepening financial intermediation’ and strengthen investments in and access to
infrastructure and quality services (including financial services) thus helping in the delivery of
the country’s Growth and Transformation Plan. In Benin, it will support the enhancement of competitiveness, development of production capacity, and the implementation of the country’s investment program for the period 2014-2018 by reducing investment and trade related risks. With respect to Cote d’Ivoire, the Programme by
putting emphasis on private sector and trade development is in congruence with the CSP for the
period 2013-2017.  The main objective of the programe is to strengthen the
capacity of the RMCs with the necessary financial resources for membership subscription in African
Trade Insurance Agency to allow greater underwritten insurance cover for Africa’s private sector
and socio economic development. The expected outcomes are i) Increased participation of the
private sector in large scale projects through ATI facilitation  (ii) increased trade flows in Africa 
and (iii) ATI attracts additional members.  The immediate beneficiaries of the Programme will be the ATI and the participating
countries namely: Benin, Ethiopia and Cote d’Ivoire. The private sector in the target countries
will be the ultimate but indirect beneficiaries. Due to concerns associated with the potential for
most indirect benefits accruing to large corporates, the Appraisal Team agreed with the ATI and
the respective RMCs that requisite frameworks would be drawn during implementation on how
to increase the access to this facility by the SMEs and women managed/owned businesses. The
log frame has been designed to highlight an increase in the population of SMEs access to trade
financial services as a performance indicator.

Multinational - Say No to Famine: Short-Term Regional Emergency Response Project (STRERP). The project entitled "Say No to famine -  Short Term Regional Emergency Response  Project (STRERP)" is a regional project for autonomous humanitarian aid and technical assistance structured as a holistic, flexible and fast emergency short term response. It responds to the humanitarian crisis caused by both drought and the conflict between Somalia and South Sudan. As a first step, the project aims to address the humanitarian emergency and food insecurity, and in a second step, to mitigate the impact of shocks on communities in the future, by enabling them to become resilient to shocks in the short term. Through this project, vulnerable communities will have immediate food, water, fodder, and health care. This momentum aims to build self-sufficiency and resilience to future shocks through extensive community consultation and management of their own activities while receiving food as a compensation. Through its interventions, STRERP will ensure sustainable improvement of food and nutrition security, livelihoods and resilience through effective risk management, protection of productive assets and governance of natural resources for agro-pastoral and peri-urban communities. The project’s total cost is estimated at UA 56,475 million. It is articulated around two components, namely: (i) nutritional and health support   and (ii) the foundations for the recovery and resilience to climate change.  The overall development goal is to reduce food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition in times of crisis and promote long-term resilience and regional integration in the Horn of Africa region. STRERP’s specific objective is to provide food aid and emergency medical assistance to the most vulnerable populations in the Horn of Africa (particularly in Southern Sudan and Somalia), while laying the groundwork to strengthen links between the production, distribution and consumption poles of the food systems in affected regions.  In Somalia, the project targets approximately 800,000 persons facing a crisis (IPC Phase 3) and an emergency (IPC Phase 4 ) in twelve sub-divisions in four States, namely Somaliland, Puntland, South West State and Jubaland. In South West State (SWS), Bay and Bakool regions have a  total of 218,000 persons in IPC 4, 285,000 persons IPC 3 and 265,000 in IPC 2. Bay and Bakool have the highest population in IPC 3 and 4 among all regions in Somalia. Target beneficiaries will also include pastoral and agro-pastoral households, considered as the "most vulnerable" within their community.

Multinational - Kapchorwa-Suam-Kitale and Eldoret Bypass Roads Project (Kenya). The Kapchorwa-Suam-Kitale and Eldoret Bypass Roads Project is a multinational operation that provides an important link between Uganda and Kenya. It's a regional road traversing via Suam border and supports regional and national social-economic growth strategies and improves the traffic congestion in Eldoret Town. The project road supports the regional integration objective of member countries of East African Community (EAC) and Great Lakes Region, especially Uganda and Kenya by connecting to Suam and further linking with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. This is a transformative project that contributes to socio-economic development and regional integration in eastern Uganda and western Kenya. In addition, the improvement of the road will promote the effort of the Governments in poverty reduction through better road infrastructure in the two countries by providing all weather access for the supply of farm inputs and evacuation of produce to major market centers, thus improving the level of service and efficiency of the road network and reducing transport costs. In both countries, the project also includes supervision consultancy, studies, training of unemployed youth and capacity building components. The construction period of the roads contracts will be 36 months for Uganda and 30 months for Kenya.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to socio-economic development, poverty reduction and regional integration through an improved and sustainable transport system that links centers of economic activity. The objective of the project is to improve access and connectivity between Uganda and Kenya as well as to stimulate economic activity in the eastern parts of Uganda and western part of Kenya and ease the traffic congestion along the Northern Corridor and within Eldoret Town.  The direct beneficiaries of the project outputs are the 1.4 million people living in the project zone of influence area, local and regional traders and transporters using the project road. The benefits shall include reduced time of travel to economic and social services notably markets, schools, health facilities, administrative facilities and a boost to more sustainable trade both locally and regionally. Reduced travel time shall be associated with reduced travel costs  reduced congestion of traffic in Eldoret  improved survival out of vehicle accidents and maternal emergencies and health services of local communities. The beneficiaries will participate in the project through involvement during public consultations  during implementation through employment and monitoring through representation at various district and local committees.

Multinational - Road Development and Transport Facilitation Programme within the Mano River Union (Additional Loan - Liberia). The proposed operation concerns three ADF supplementary loans of UA 31,200,000, UA 9,900,000 and UA 24,900,000 in favour of Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea and Liberia to finance the Mano River Union Road Development and Transport Facilitation Programme. The purpose of these three supplementary loans is to complete the financing of the said programme, given that the amount available under the 2014 ADF regional envelope is not adequate to finalise the project. This programme deals with the construction and tarring of 276.35 km of roads in Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea and in Liberia. Its realization will enable to combat fragility factors, which fuel the consecutive crises that the region had experienced over the last 20 years, namely the locking of regions, the high number of check- points and inadequacy of border posts.  The overall objective of the programme is to sustain the post-conflict economic revival of the MRU region through improving road infrastructure and promoting intracommunity trade. The programme specifically aims to improve transportation conditions on the road concerned with a view to reducing the cost of transportation, fostering the free flow of persons and goods between the three countries and improving the living conditions of the populations in the programme area.  The programme will benefit road users, transporters, farmers, the programme area population of 2.83 million inhabitants and especially the disadvantaged groups (women and children), which constitute the greater majority.

Multinational - 50 Million African Women Speak Networking Platform Project. The project aims to create and deploy a social media platform called "50 million African women have a voice". This Platform, which will have a regional scope, will address the specific problems faced by women, particularly women entrepreneurs, namely low levels of education and entrepreneurial training, poor access to finance and financial services, and poor access to information. In particular, women will benefit, through this initiative, from entrepreneurial training, mentoring, financial services and relevant local business information, while establishing their own networks of contacts. In its implementation, the project will build on the ubiquity and popularity of mobile phones to reduce the burden of learning and access to information and services, which will enable women to manage their businesses and social conditions. The project will also provide an opportunity to collect important statistics on financial inclusion in Africa. The project targets three Regional Economic Communities (RECs), including the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC), and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It will be implemented over a three-year period, starting in 2017, with a total estimated cost of UA 9.8 million.  The development objective of the project is to contribute to the economic empowerment of women by providing a networking platform that would allow them to access information on financial and non-financial services. More specifically, the project aims to create a platform for improving the capacity of women entrepreneurs to network and share information and access financial services.  The project is expected to benefit all women entrepreneurs on the continent, particularly those in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). The platform will initially target women entrepreneurs in Africa who generally have great difficulty accessing information on financial and non-financial services, and who are less likely to join established business networks or have mentors who can give them the valuable advice and guidance they need to grow their businesses.

Multinational - Lakes Edward and Albert Integrated Fisheries and Water Resources Management Project  (LEAF II). The Multinational Lakes Edward & Albert Integrated Fisheries & Water Resources
Management Project (LEAF II) covers the Lakes Edward and Albert basin, which are part of the
series of Rift valley lakes shared between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of
Uganda. The Lakes and their catchment cover an area of about 622,472 km² and have an
estimated population of about 12 million persons. The Lakes are characterized by over
exploitation of main fisheries species, deforestation, insecurity as well as climate change impact
all compounding the poverty levels in these areas. The project’s estimated total cost is UA16.76million, comprising an ADF resources of UA 11.00 million (UA 5 million as loan to Uganda and UA 6 million as grant to DRC) , a co-financing
of GEF grant of UA 5.532 million and a UA0.228 million contributions from NELSAP. It will be
implemented over a five-year period through 3 components namely: 1) Fisheries Resources
Development  2) Integrated Water Resources Management and 3) Project Management and
Coordination.  The Project is a follow up to the Bank financed Lakes Edward & Albert Pilot Fisheries
Project aptly termed LEAF I, which aims at reducing socio economic and environmental
constraints and fighting fragility. More specifically, LEAF II aims to create an enabling
environment and to strengthen the legal, policy, institutional and regulatory framework for
sustainable management of natural resources and protection of the environment. It will also
contribute to the creation of alternative incomes opportunities and food security for men and
women in the fishing communities. The project will, in essence strengthen capacity of
government institutions to promote environment-friendly interventions in the use of the Lakes’
resources and promote regional trade and exchange.  The project will benefit about 400,000 people in the riparian communities of the
two lakes in the two countries most of whom are living below poverty level, by improving their
incomes, food security and access to basic social and economic infrastructure. In addition to job
creation for local communities in the Lakes’ regions (5000 jobs would be directly created while
another 20,000 indirect with 50% of these benefiting the women), the project will also improve
regional and local consultation/cooperation for integrated natural resources management and
intra-regional trade in fish product as well as address the social dimensions of resilience, which
will in the long run reduce potential sources of local conflict.

Multinational - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa (DRSLP) - Project II. The proposed project is the second intervention in a long term Bank Programme to build communities’ resilience to drought and Climate Change, improve their livelihood and promote regional integration in the Horn of Africa. The program purpose is to address the root causes of the drought crisis (which drives the fragility of the region), through a comprehensive and integrated list of interventions that fit into the following areas: (i) Support to infrastructure for water resources mobilization and management  (ii) Support to infrastructure for agricultural development (with an emphasis on livestock)  and (iii) Support to transport and sub-national and regional trade  and (iv) Support to complementary capacity building and income diversifying activities. Project II aims to scale up the Program interventions in Ethiopia and extend it to Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan. It will be implemented in a period of 5 years and its total cost is UA 81.667 million. Its implementation is expected to develop infrastructures for i) water mobilisation and management, and ii) livestock production, health and marketing. The project will also build the capacity of the populations and Governments of the region to better cope with the effects of climate change, resources scarcity and conflicts related to resources utilisation. An estimated 20 million agro-pastoralists affected by drought and land degradation will directly benefit from the project.  The Project development goal is to enhance drought resilience and improve sustainable livelihoods of agro-pastoral communities in the Horn of Africa region.  An estimated 20 million agro-pastoralists affected by drought and land degradation will directly benefit from the project. Other direct beneficiaries include the Governments of the region whose capacities will be strengthened to enhance drought resilience development, natural resources management and shared benefits, and regional integration. Ultimately, the project is expected to increase the income of agro-pastoralists through the improvement of the delivery of livestock related services (animal production and health, rangeland management, marketing, etc.) and the development of irrigation schemes leading to the improvement of livestock parameters (growth rate, carcass weight, milk production and offtake rate) and, the productivity/production of the main crops. The diversification of the sources of livelihood and the mobilization/conservation of water resources as envisioned by the project will reduce the vulnerability of the population to climate change shocks and exposure to inter/intracommunity conflicts that arise from competition over access to water sources for livestock. Women and youth will particularly benefit from the project as specific activities (including value addition) will be designed to enhance their economic and social integration/empowerment. Ultimately, these expected outcomes are expected to contribute to fostering peace and social resilience within the project communities and countries.

Multinational - Study on higher education in the countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The purpose of the study on higher education in eight member countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) is to make a sectoral diagnosis and identify strategies and actions that can help improve sustainably the higher education systems of the countries concerned, namely Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo. The study will address the problems of higher education, not within the strict national framework as in the past, but within a multinational framework, justified by the similarity of the problems encountered and the solutions thereto. The regional integration framework represented by the WAEMU offers a great opportunity to stimulate and support a joint study and to provide a permanent institutional framework that can better guarantee, in the medium and long-term, the sustainability of the policies and commitments resulting from the study. The study will take place over 18 months in two phases: (i) phase one aimed at making a diagnosis of the situation and determining the options to be considered for the preparation of a support project  and (ii) phase two whose objective is to validate the various options identified for the preparation of the future project.  The total cost of the study is estimated at UA 1.80 million.  The sectoral objective of the proposed study is to contribute to human resources development in WAEMU member countries through improvement of the public and private higher education systems. The specific objective of the study is to make an exhaustive diagnosis of the situation of higher education in order to prepare a support project, which will promote reforms and define actions to be taken for the lasting improvement of access to, as well as the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of higher education in WAEMU countries, while exciting the commitment of the beneficiaries through incentive mechanisms.  This study targets all public and private national higher education structures that can play a relevant role in improving the access, relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of higher education in their respective fields. The sub-regional institutes of higher education and research located in the eight countries (Inter-State Schools) will also be taken into account. In addition to higher education institutions, the study will cover national higher education administrations as well as regional consultation and / or supervisory organizations of higher education. To the extent possible, other key stakeholders and strategic groups, including civil society organizations and the business community, will be affected by the study.

Multinational - Mainstreaming Managing for Development Results in Regional Member Countries and Regional Economic Communities Project. The project aims to support the African Community of Practice for Managing for Development Results (AfCoP to mainstream results-based practices of Managing for Development Results (MfDR) into the policies and strategies of RMCs and RECs. The project responds to the Bank’s commitment to support the development effectiveness global agenda. The Busan declaration of the High-Level forum on aid effectiveness held in South Korea (29 November-1 December 2011) recognizes the regional dimension of development effectiveness and the role of the RECs in that regard. It will enhance the capacity of the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and their member countries to facilitate the implementation of regional policies and programs by using MfDR approaches, and thereby promote regional integration. The project will support the African Community of Practice on Managing for Development Results (AfCoP) in order to build African capacity on MfDR and will contribute to promoting political leadership for results, strengthening regional and national capacities and systems, and engaging non-state actors to hold policy makers accountable for results in the RECs and their member states. The total cost is UA 09.98 million over a three-year period.  The expected outcomes are: to improve the effectiveness in implementing the regional policies in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and in their member states  to improve the result orientation of the policies, the programs and the projects of the above selected RECs  and to strengthen the MfDR capacity of WAEMU and COMESA and their member states.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will be COMESA and WAEMU and their member states. It will target AfCoP members, including public sector officials and experts, civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians, local consultants, the media and academics. The COMESA and WAEMU countries will be covered by Components 2 and 3 of the project, with intensive capacity-building activities. It is expected that 15 000 people will be trained. The priority for the training sessions will be given to the regional integration-related institutions. At least one-third of participants in the training sessions will be women and at least 10% will be young people from active women’s and youth associations in the development field. In the COMESA region in particular, the project will also benefit the Federation of National Associations of Women in Business for knowledge and experience sharing on promoting trade facilitation. The indirect beneficiaries will be AfCoP members in the non-COMESA and -WAEMU member countries (see the map in Appendix IV). They will benefit from knowledge sharing from the online platform.

Thus, the technical departments and services of the Ministries in charge of the higher education sub-sector, higher education institutions and their communities of about 400,000 people (students, teachers, administrative and technical staff) in the eight countries, are also beneficiaries, as is the private sector of higher education, which is affected through certain activities, including the 17 various training courses.

Multinational - The Support to a Network of African Institutions of Science and Technology Project. The Support to a Network of African Institutions of Science and Technology Project is based on the premise that it is cost-effective to promote and enhance linkages among African S&T institutions to pool resources through networks established as poles of excellence, and build on the strengths of the respective institutions. As such, the Project seeks to provide a regional consolidated response to the need for high-level expertise in science and engineering in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by expanding equitable access and improving the quality and relevance of higher education and research through the enhancement of a pole of excellence in science and technology (S&T) in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) region. Project outcomes include: (i) increased access to quality engineering and science education  (ii) enhanced relevance through linkages with the productive sector  (iii) harmonized certification of academic degrees in ECOWAS region  (iv) strengthened public-private partnerships (PPP) in the provision of quality HEST training  and (v) enlarged regional and institutional networking in S&T. The Project will be implemented over a 3-year period at a cost of UA12.00 million and will benefit all countries in the ECOWAS region and beyond.  The Project’s objective is to increase the number and improve the quality of qualified science and engineering graduates in the ECOWAS region in order to provide a regional consolidated response to the needs for highly qualified personnel in science and engineering in the ECOWAS region. This activity will also facilitate the role of the ECOWAS Commission in promoting the network within its member countries.  Although Project activities are carried out in Abuja (AUST) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), they will benefit all students in the ECOWAS region and even beyond. Furthermore, neighboring countries of the two institutions will be able to enjoy the benefits of increased supply of qualified engineers, scientists and researchers as: (i) students, teachers and researchers alike will have the possibility of offering their services across borders  and (ii) research outcomes will likely be applicable to the region for the benefits of its whole population. Benefits will also accrue to faculty and administrators involved in both institutions in the form of training, faculty exchanges and participation to scientific conferences. Finally, the Project also targets the private sector as AUST will train 510 full-time degree students and some 100 part-time students from petroleum companies during the project life. Furthermore, it is expected that many firms in Africa (small, medium and large) will benefit from Project activities through industry-institution collaboration, research and innovation.

Multinational - Pan African University Project. The Pan-African University Project will support this University and contribute to Africa's goal of improving its competitiveness and accelerating its growth through the creation of quality higher education and research skills. It aims to promote the mobility of African researchers. The same is true for all higher education teachers and researchers, who can benefit from exchange programmes, as well as interaction with academics and scientists from African and foreign institutions. A fellowship programme will be set up to provide the necessary financial support to all students admitted to the APU during the first five years. The project has an important development impact, as it will contribute to the training of high-level human resources essential for Africa's competitiveness and transformation. The private sector will continue to play a key role in the successful management of the APU. The main components of the project are (i) support to the science and technology programmes (PAUSTI and PAULESI), (ii) support to the governance and regional integration programme (PAUGHSS) and (iii) support to the administration of the PAU and project management.  The project goal is to establish a world class regional university system to serve the entire continent in key development areas.  The project will potentially benefit all African graduate students, higher education teachers and researchers. The UPA is intended to serve all African countries with a total population of 1.1 billion. Through sensitization and communication on the APU, the AUC and the Rectorate will strive to attract female students, with the objective of achieving at least a 40% participation rate after 5 years of operation.

Multinational - The Gambia River Basin Development Organization Energy Project (OMVG) - Guinea Bissau. The Gambia River Organization for Development (OMVG) Energy Project covers the following four countries: The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal. This sub-regional organization is the executing agency of the integrated development programs in the region and focuses, in particular, on the rational management of the common resources of the Gambia, Kayanga-Geba and Koliba-Corubal Rivers. The basins of these rivers offer the possibility of producing energy. The energy project has two main components: (i) the Sambangalou hydroelectric development located partly in Senegal and partly in Guinea, (ii) the interconnection line which crosses the four OMVG countries.

Morocco - National Rural Roads Programme II (NRRP2). The second National Rural Roads Programme (NRRP2) follows the first of its kind, completed in 2005. It was formulated by the Moroccan Government, with the aim of taking the level of provision of road access to the rural populations to 80% by 2015. The programme is among the Government’s priority actions in the transport sector for the 2006-2010 period and is in line with the Bank’s strategy in Morocco. It covers 15 560 km of rural roads, comprising 65% of surfaced roads and 35% of earth roads, which will be constructed in two phases: 2005-2010 and 2010-2015. The Bank’s intervention concerns 460 km of surfaced roads and 226 km of earth roads across 23 provinces of the country and is part of the first phase of a total stretch of about 7780 km. The project will help create conditions for the development of the agricultural sector by providing farmers with all-weather road infrastructure to market their products without any hassle, additional costs and uncertain travel schedules. The estimated cost of the first phase of the NRRP2 is DH 7 125.00 million or UA 560.14 million. The Bank’s contribution to the implementation of the first phase of the NRRP2 amounts to about UA 39 million of the total tax exclusive cost of the project.  At the sector level, the NRRP2 seeks to reduce rural poverty and curtail regional disparities. The specific objective of the Bank’s project is to contribute to providing the rural populations access routes and outlets and to and improving transport services in rural areas. The NRRP 2 will therefore help bring the populations closer to administrative and economic centers, enable them to produce more and at lower cost, increase their incomes and improve their social welfare.  The population benefiting directly or indirectly from the NRRP2 are the entire rural and isolated population of Morocco of about 3 million, more than 80% of whom are farmers. Farmers of this area will enjoy the transport and export facilities offered by the project which may boost their incomes. The NRRP2 will also create more jobs for the rural population who record the highest unemployment rate in Morocco. The implementation of the project will improve the well-being of the population along the roads by improving access to and efficiency of social services. This vital infrastructure, by providing mobility, will increase access to health services and schools. The illiteracy rate is expected to plummet at the end of the project and access to health care will be remarkably improved.

Ethiopia - Modjo-Hawassa Highway Project – Phase 1. The Modjo – Hawassa Highway Project (Phase I) is within the broad five-year Road Sector Development Program – RSDP-IV (2011-15) program in Ethiopia. The RSDP is an ambitious program intended to enhance road transport service throughout the country, through upgrading and road maintenance as well as build domestic contracting capacity. The current Modjo – Hawassa road is a dilapidated single 2-lane carriageway that has already served its design life and requires upgrading. The road section forms a link within the Cape Town to Cairo road corridor connecting southern, eastern and northern Africa. The current capacity is insufficient to cater for the growing traffic demands, including international heavy traffic. The Modjo – Hawassa Highway Project (209km) will be implemented in two phases. Phase I consists of the construction of 93 km of a new asphalt surfaced 4-lane dual carriageway road between Modjo and Zeway towns. Furthermore the Modjo- Hawassa highway lies mostly in Oromia Region and is part of the major Mombasa- Nairobi-Addis Ababa highway. This project is therefore a logical continuation of this transport expansion program and when completed in 2019, it will provide a wide range of socio-economic benefits, supporting national and regional trade. It will be implemented in 5 years.  The project objective is to improve road transport connectivity between Modjo and Hawassa by increasing the traffic-carrying capacity of the road. The outcomes include improved road transport, reduced travel times and costs, afforestation, creation of inclusive green economy at grass root, and improved road safety, gender and HIV/AIDS sensitization.  The direct beneficiaries will include transporters, travelers, traders, agro-businesses, and others who will benefit from an improved road connection to Addis Ababa. Local communities (especially youth and women), will for the short-term, benefit from supplying labor, food and accommodation for immigrant workers, including improved environmental and economic conditions, and access to health and education facilities.

Ninth Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The ninth drinking water supply and sanitation project in Morocco is a major contribution by the Bank to the Government’s efforts to sustainably supply drinking water and sanitation services to the Moroccan populations. The project design is based on the priority needs defined by the Moroccan Government and adopted in ONEP’s investment programme for 2006-2009. It comprises two component: access to drinking water in rural areas (based on the programme approach which fosters the participation of the beneficiary population) and collection and treatment of wastewater in urban areas. The implementation of the project is envisaged to span a period of 60 months, from 2006 to 2011. Its implementation will reinforce the grouped rural drinking water supply programme (PAGER) and will be a suitable solution to the problem of pollution by wastewater discharge in Khouribga Province.  At the sector level, the project goal is to reduce urban and rural poverty through access to DWSS services. Its specific objectives are the sustainable improvement of drinking water supply in rural areas and the management of wastewater in Khouribga province.  The project will benefit approximately 600 villages (douars) totaling a population of about 350 000 inhabitants (approximately 176 000 women), representing 18% of the total rural population of the 4 provinces. The project will benefit the urban population of these centers by improving the natural environment through the elimination of raw waste water discharges and collection of waste water in the districts of these centres. In addition to this population, there are the farmers adjacent to the new treatment plant and the Touim Wadi who receive and will continue to receive the town's treated waste water discharges for re-use in agriculture.

It will improve the quantity and quality of the drinking water supply of about 3 million people and will give the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), the Concessionary Companies and the autonomous water supply authorities the means to support the evolution of the demand of the concerned zones until 2030.  The project's specific objectives are to strengthen the AEP and secure the existing infrastructure in several cities of the Kingdom (Tangier, Taounate, Rabat-Casablanca, Settat and Marrakech).  The cities of Tangier, Taounate, Rabat-Casablanca, Settat and Marrakech.

Ethiopia - Electricity Transmission System Improvement Project. The project consists of (a) construction, on a turnkey basis, of four (4) 230 kV transmission lines and related substations. The lines and substations to be constructed are as follows: (i) 352 km of 230 kV Koka- Hurso transmission line (ii) 315 km of 230 kV Alaba-Hossana-Wolkite, Gilgel-Gibe I –Jimma-Agaro-Bedele transmission line (iii) 141km of 230 kV Alamata-Muhoni-Mekele line (iv) 140 km of 230 kV Metu - Gambela line (b) Construction of associated eight new substations, the extension of seven substations, and the upgrading of four major substations around Addis Ababa and Debre Markos (c) consultancy services (i) project supervision and management (ii) Addis Ababa distribution master plan study and (d) Compensation and Resettlement.  The biggest challenge facing the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) is to mobilize the necessary resources to meet the generation, transmission and distribution requirements as these involve considerable investment costs. The Government has mobilized resources for implementing four hydroelectric projects  namely: Tekeze (300 MW), commissioned in June 2009  Gibe II (420 MW) commissioned in August 2009 and Beles (460 MW), which was commissioned in May 2010 and a smaller hydro power project Fincha Amerti Neshe (100 MW) has already commenced with financing from the Chinese Government. Additionally other generation projects such as GIBE III (1870 MW), Genale III (258 MW), Helele Werabesa (422 MW) and Chemoga Yeda (278 MW) are currently under construction and are expected to be completed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively. The implementation of the proposed project is therefore critical in ensuring the evacuation of power from generation sources to load centres and also facilitates the export of energy to Sudan and Djibouti and is thus a crucial part of the transmission expansion plan.  The main project beneficiaries will therefore includes (i) the clients of the Power Utility EEPCo including Households, industries, health centres commercial and agriculture (irrigation schemes) consumers. Existing electricity consumers connected to the national grid will also benefit from the supply and increased reliability of service as a result of the project.

Gabon - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme - Phase III (PAREF III) - Supplementary Funding. This project is the third phase of the Support Program for Economic and Financial Reforms (PAREF-III) in Gabon. This is additional funding that follows a series of two programmatic General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the period 2016-2019, for a total indicative funding of 600 million Euros. PAREF-III aims to consolidate and deepen the results of PAREF-I and II and support the implementation of the three-year program reforms agreed between Gabon and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) through: (i) strengthening fiscal consolidation to restore macroeconomic stability  and (ii) support for the diversification of the economy for inclusive growth through the improvement of the investment climate and the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. It will provide the authorities with the resources needed to absorb the external shocks related mainly to the fall in oil prices, as well as to consolidate the reserves with the BEAC and facilitate the implementation of the reforms necessary for fiscal consolidation and the structural transformation of the economy.  Like PAREF-I and II, the goal of PAREF-III is to support the implementation of the government's development agenda to create the conditions for accelerated and inclusive economic growth through the strengthening of fiscal consolidation and diversification of the economy. Thus, the operational objective for 2018 is to (i) strengthen fiscal consolidation through increased revenue mobilization and public expenditure rationalization, with particular emphasis on controlling the wage bill and enhancing the efficiency of public investment  and (ii) support the diversification of the economy through the improvement of the investment climate and the competitiveness of the agricultural sector in order to facilitate the structural transformation of the economy in the face of the collapse of oil prices.  PAREF III will benefit the Gabonese population as a whole through the availability of greater public resources, streamlining of expenditures and specific reforms to support strong, diversified and job-creating growth. It will benefit in particular to the following groups: (i) vulnerable populations who will be able to benefit from better infrastructures and quality social services thanks to the budgetary leeway that the reforms supported by PAREF III will bring about, (ii) Gabonese entrepreneurs and foreign investors wishing to set up a business or invest in Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) that will benefit from a more incentive-based and transparent framework and, (iii) public, private and community actors involved in the agricultural sector who will benefit from a more adequate framework for the development of their activities.

Gabon - Integrated drinking water supply and sanitation programme - First Libreville Integrated Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Sub-Programme (PIAEPAL) – Drinking Water Component.

Gabon - Road Program Phase I (RP1). The current program, known as Road Program Phase 1 (RP1), concerns the first phase of the Road Network Development Program (PARR), which entails the construction of three roads and the conduct of road studies preparatory to Phase II of the Program. It focuses on the following road stretches: Fougamou-Mouila, La LeyouLastourville and Ndendé-Lébamba. The FougamouMouila-Ndendé-Doussala road (Congo Brazzaville border) is one of these highways and is an important segment of the Ndjaména-Yaoundé-Brazzaville road corridor retained as one of the priority projects of NEPAD. The implementation of this program constitutes a crucial phase in gradual establishment of Gabon’s structuring road network under the PARR. This first phase also covers related construction works and some of the institutional support needs of the Ministry of Public Works, Equipment and Construction. The estimated cost of the program, net of compensation and taxes, stands at UA 246.56 Million.  The sector goals of the program are: (i) the consolidation of regional integration  (ii) increase of internal access roads and  (iii) poverty reduction by improving the living conditions of the people. Its specific goals are: (i) the reduction of vehicle operating costs and improvement of road safety  and (ii) improvement of access to socio-economic and health infrastructure located along program roads in the provinces of NGOUNIE and OGOOUE LOLO.  The program will mainly benefit the populations of the provinces concerned: NGOUNIE and OGOOUE LOLO. Carriers, farmers, women active in the subsistence agriculture and handicrafts sector, traders living in the area of influence of the project as well as the utilitarian travelers of the roads to be developed will also benefit from the interventions.

PROJET DE RENFORCEMENT DU SYSTEME DE SANTE (SANTE III). The Health System Strengthening (HSSP) Health Project III is in line with the Government’s health policy and aims at improving the state of health of Guineans in general and the most deprived populations (women and children) in the periurban areas of Conakry and in three of the poorest districts in Middle Guinea in particular. It's designed in order to address the difficulties and constraints encountered in the health sector. The project focus on the development of basic health treatment with the view to increasing the populations economic and geographical accessibility to this type of care. Its outcome should contribute in improving the health cover in Conakry and in Middle Guinea by the opening of eight health centres and the rehabilitation of the district hospital, helping thus in upgrading the health of at least 600,000 women. The project should be executed over a period of five years, and comprises the four following components: (i) building of the system’s capacities  (ii) support to safe pregnancy programmes, control of STDs/AIDS and malaria  (iii) improved health cover in Middle Guinea and in Conakry  (iv) project management.  The project’s sectoral objective is to help improve the state of health of the Guinean population in general and in particular, mother and child health. In this regard, activities pertaining to this project are geared towards the following specific objectives: i) improved access to health services in the suburbs of Conakry, in Tougué, Gaoual, and Koundara  (ii) higher quality of health care and services in general, and especially in the project area.  The target populations are essentially mothers and children under five years that would have a ready need for the health services. The population of Conakry and its environs (1.1 million inhabitants) and that of Middle Guinea (2.2 million inhabitants) benefit most from the project and account for 45% of the country’s total population. More importantly, training activities, support to the system of maintenance and to regional inspectorates are more beneficial to Middle Guinea as a whole. However, the strengthening of health cover concerns, other than Conakry, the districts of Gaoual (145,028 inhabitants), Tougué (124,136 inhabitants) and Koundara (95,988 inhabitants).

Gabon - Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector Support Project (PSPA). The Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector Support Project (PSPA) falls within the scope of the Gabon Government’s PRSP (interim document of June 2003), reflected in the Fisheries and Environment Sector Program (PSFE), supported by all the development partners whose Bank. The minor investments earmarked under the project should help test the application of the reforms in the field through key activities among the actors of the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector. The main activities concerned are: (i) improvement and strengthening of the institutional and regulatory framework of the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector  (ii) putting in place of basic infrastructure to promote the development of artisanal and aquaculture fishing  and (iii) building the capacities of the staff of the fisheries and aquaculture administration, as well as communities that derive their livelihood from this activity. The project should provide permanent and temporary employment opportunities to an estimated 12,000 female operators out of about 21,700 actors in the sub-sector.  The sector goal of the fisheries and aquaculture sector support project is to contribute to the diversification of the Gabonese economy through the sustainable management of forestry, fisheries and environmental resources. The specific objective of the project is to improve the conditions of fish production as a means for increasing output and incomes.  The project beneficiaries comprise a total of 21,500 operators in the subsector made up of at least 7,500 artisanal fishermen, 500 fish farmers and about 12,000 female operators from other sections of the sub-sector who are essentially processors, fishmongers and traders. In addition to these operators, the project aims to promote the integration of about 1,500 youths interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sub-sector who find it difficult to do so. Also, in accordance with the goals of the PSFE, the project will provide support to the fisheries administration through the training of about 135 workers and executives of the General Directorate of Fisheries and Aquaculture (DGPA).

Multinational - Strengthening West Africa’s Public Health Systems Response to the Ebola Crisis (SWAPHS). The proposed project aims to contribute to ongoing efforts to reduce morbidity, mortality and to break the chain of transmission of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) by strengthening sub-regional public health systems. The EVD, formerly known as Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever (EHF) is a severe, often fatal illness in humans with a case fatality rate of up to 90%. This is a threat to the development and national security of the West Africa region. The affected countries lack the requisite state resources and capacity to adequately manage this outbreak compounded by institutional weaknesses and weak governance systems. In the short term, the Bank’s assistance will support the EVD Outbreak Response Plan of West Africa (July to December 2014). The main objectives of this plan are to: i) Stop transmission of EVD in the affected countries through scaling up effective evidence-based outbreak control measures and ii) Prevent the spread of EVD to atrisk neighbouring countries by strengthening epidemic preparedness and response measures. In the long term (2015-2017) the assistance will contribute to overall strengthening of public health systems in West African countries to facilitate early detection and response to potential threats arising from epidemic and pandemic prone diseases. This project will thus strengthen regional public health capacity to implement appropriate interventions to control the EVD outbreak in the sub region. The total cost net of taxes and duties, is estimated at UA 40 million.  The project is centred on three broad strategic outcomes  building human resource capacity and systems for emergency response and preparedness, infrastructure development and strengthening governance and regional institutions. In the short term, the project will support strengthening of technical capacity to deal with the immediate outbreak response interventions. In the long term, public health systems will be strengthened in epidemiological surveillance and response systems to deal with the current and potential future epidemics. Sub regional capacity will be enhanced for effective coordination of the outbreak response activities at all levels.  The project will directly benefit the estimated 321 million people in the ECOWAS sub region. Specifically the beneficiaries of the assistance are the people of the Republic of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria and their neighbouring countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger, Togo, Benin, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, and Cape Verde).

Gabon - Updating of urban storm water drainage infrastructure development studies in Gue-Gue, Lowe-IAI and Terre Nouvelle Basin in Libreville. Updating of urban storm water drainage infrastructure development studies in Gue-Gue Lowe-IAI and Terre Nouvelle Basin in Libreville is in line with the objectives of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (GPRSP), the Urban Development Strategy and the Country Strategy Paper (CSP). This study is justified in view of i) the precarious state of sanitation in Libreville in general and in the three catchment areas concerned in particular and ii) the need to have up-to-date studies for carrying out development work in the three catchment areas. It will thus contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG-2015) and the African Water Vision (AWV) for 2025. As the study will lead to the updating of the documents required for the development of the Gué-Gué, Lowé-IAI and Terre Nouvelle basins, its effectiveness is closely linked to the performance of the UCE and CIPA, given the importance of the participation and involvement of the administrations working in the sanitation sector and other stakeholders for its success. Thanks to this project, the government will have the documents it needs to mobilise the funds required to implement infrastructure investments: feasibility study reports, detailed designs and tender documents. It comprises the following components: (i) updating of studies, (ii) capacity building for stakeholders and (iii) project management.  The overall objective of the study is to contribute to the improvement of the living environment of the populations living in the three basins through the creation of the necessary conditions for stormwater drainage. The specific objective of the study is to improve knowledge of the environmental situation in the three basins and the capacities of stakeholders with a view to developing stormwater drainage facilities.  In general terms, all the members of the Interministerial Commission for Sanitation (CIPA), the players in the water and sanitation sector and the people living in the three basins, estimated in 2008 at 265,000, will benefit from the project.

This project is in line with: (i) priorities set by the Ministry of Finance to support implementation of the Public Finance Reform Strategic Plan (PSRFP), correct malfunction and streamline preparation and execution of Government budget  (ii) improvement of governance in the productive sectors to enhance public resource mobilisation  and (iii) the need to review the legal arsenal of the extractive industries and forestry sectors. The PARCGEF formulation draws on Bank projects and those of other development partners, in terms of institutional framework assessment, beneficiary accountability and coordination with technical and financial partners. This project complements PADIPOC. As such, it will allow for implementation of an integrated approach to public finance management. The activities of PARCGEF will focus on improving budget management and mobilizing Government resources, while those of PADIPOC will deal with strengthening public expenditure control bodies. The project has three main components: (i) improving public finance management  (ii) improving governance in the extractive and forestry sectors  and (iii) strengthening coordination and monitoring economic and financial reforms. Components (i) and (ii) complement each other, as the first aims to improve public resource management, while the second aims to replenish these resources through improved contribution of the productive sectors to the economy.  The overall goal of the Economic and Financial Management Capacity Building Support Project (PARCGEF) is to create an enabling environment to revive economic growth through more credible financial management and improved governance of the extractive and forestry sectors. The specific objectives of the project are to: (i) build the capacity of the structures of the Ministry of Economy and Finance responsible for planning, budgeting and resource mobilisation  and (ii) improve governance in the extractive and forestry sectors.  The main project beneficiaries are: (i) the entire government apparatus, whose operational structures will be upgraded, its institutional capacity built and resources increased  (ii) the departments in charge of economic and financial administration, which will be able to streamline public expenditure management and mobilise additional domestic revenue for channelling to the social sectors, and (iii) Guinea’s entire population, who will be the prime beneficiaries of jobs created, following improved efficiency of the public sector and socioeconomic services. Moreover, import/export companies will stand to gain from the trade facilitation that will result from a more modern and efficient customs service.

Guinea - Structural Adjustment Programme II (SAP II). The present intervention concerns the second Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP II). It is part of the effort to consolidate the reform programmes (PREF 1986-90) and ESAF (1991-96) implemented with the support of the international financial community. The programme aims to continue the measures to consolidate the macroeconomic framework and create the conditions for economic recovery. It includes seven (07) components, including (1) restructuring of public expenditure through priority sectors  (2) improvement of budgetary control and monitoring  (3) institutional reforms for better public service delivery  (4) policies and priorities in the education sector  (5) policies and priorities in the health sector  (6) policies and priorities in the agricultural sector  and (7) policies and priorities in the road sector.  The objective of the programme is to improve the quality and efficiency of public spending. The general objectives of SAP II are: (i) create the conditions for sustained and sustainable growth based on a greater contribution from the private sector  and (ii) lead the fight against poverty relentlessly.  The beneficiaries of the programme are: the State of Guinea, public enterprises and ultimately the population.

Guinea - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme - Phase II (PAREF II). PAREF II aims to modernize public resource mobilization, allocation and management systems, as well as promote private sector development. It will help to consolidate the gains of the previous programme (PAREF I), and support second-generation reforms designed to more effectively meet the challenges of inclusion. The guidelines underlying the design of this programme are as follows: (i) increase Government resources to enable it to support growth through public investment programming based on PRSP III development priorities  (ii) enable the Government to better play its role as public authority and major economic stakeholder in the private sector by improving the regulatory and institutional framework, as well as the conditions for electric power supply, which is a key factor in promoting the private sector and improving the living standards of the population. In this regard, the programme will have two components: (i) strengthening of public management  and (ii) improvement of the business climate and governance in the electricity sector.  The expected outcomes are: (i) enhanced financial governance, with increased budgetary resources, especially from the extractive sector, generating financing to support growth  (ii) better allocation of resources to finance public investment and cover capital expenditures in priority sectors  (iii) a private sector revitalized through improvement of the business regulatory and institutional framework, as well as adoption of a national policy paper on SME development, in particular, including a multi-year action plan  (iv) improved electricity sector governance, coupled with institutional strengthening in management so as to ease one of the constraints on the private sector. These outcomes will benefit the Guinean population as a whole and, in particular, the most vulnerable groups (women and children), economic and financial services, and national and foreign economic operators who, following the improved business regulatory and institutional framework, will be more likely to invest in the country, and thereby create more wealth and jobs for graduates whose unemployment rate has now reached 61%.  The entire Guinean population will benefit from this Programme, which aims to increase State resources, thereby enabling the latter to create fiscal revenue to support growth and meet the social demands of the poorest social groups through the policy of securing budgetary resources for this purpose. In addition, the public-private partnership formula adopted is one of the flagship measures of the Programme, opening a wide range of opportunities for foreign investment. Such opportunities will focus on the construction of infrastructure (roads and railways) that will foster the exploitation of the country’s huge mineral deposits and facilitate trade between the regions and communities they pass through. Other measures relating to the electricity sector will bring relief to the people who suffer frequent power cuts that are a source of insecurity and discomfort in their daily lives. Finally, improving the business environment will encourage foreign and domestic economic operators to invest in the country and create jobs for the young unemployed graduates.

Ethiopia - Structural Adjustment Loan II. The proposed Structural Adjustment Loan is designed to assist the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in implementing its I-PRSP. The ADF support aims at building synergy with the IMF and the World Bank support, while also focusing on important areas of the Bank’s vision and the ADF-VIII Lending Policy. It will support reform in four key areas, namely, macroeconomic framework, agriculture development and food security, public expenditure policy and management, and legal and judicial system reform. Designed to provide balance of payments support, the program will contribute towards meeting Ethiopia’s foreign exchange gap and hence contribute to boosting the official reserves. It will also indirectly help to ease government’s fiscal constraints since the counterpart funds will feed directly into the budget. Thus, the loan proceeds would also enhance the capacity of the Government to implement its poverty reduction programmes.  The objective of the project is to assist the Government in deepening economic reforms to restore macroeconomic stability, promote equitable economic growth and poverty reduction in line with the international development goals. Specifically, the loan will provide balance of payments support to Ethiopia for the implementation of the reform agenda outlined in its I-PRSP.  The project beneficiary is the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

Poverty Reduction Support Loan I. The Poverty Reduction Support Loan (PRSL) was approved by the Bank Group in May 2004 in support of Ethiopia’s Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Programme (SDPRP). The PRSL was designed as a single-tranche direct budget support operation to the 2004/05 budget to complement similar funding from other donors, including the IMF, World Bank, EU, DFID, CIDA, SIDA, Ireland and Germany. It was prepared and appraised in close coordination with these participating donors. It also adopted best practices namely, joint missions, a common performance assessment matrix, joint review and a common reporting system. These factors contributed to the technical soundness of programme design. The strong commitment of the programme to the reforms, focus on capacity building and the shift towards performance based management systems helped to promote programme sustainability.  The objective of the PRSL was to support the implementation of the reforms articulated in the SDPRP aimed at promoting pro-poor and rapid growth in Ethiopia. The selected areas of focus were consistent with the Bank Group 2002-2004 Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Ethiopia. An important focus of the reforms was private sector development and improvement in the delivery of public services.  Ethiopian Government and the national territory.

Protection Basic Services Programme. The objective of the project is to protect and possibly scale up the provision of basic services at the local level.  The other project objective is to strengthen local accountability mechanisms in service delivery and enhance transparency in the budget process at sub-national levels.

Ethiopia - The Protection of Basic Services Program II. The program's medium-term objective is to reduce poverty through addressing key policy challenges related to local governance and inequities in access to, and the quality of, locally delivered basic services. Improved basic services in health, education, agricultural extension services and water and sanitation will result in greater incremental benefits to the vulnerable members of society who are mostly women and children and especially girls. The objectives of the programme will be achieved through supporting Ethiopia's decentralization program and targeting in particular the improvement of budget transparency, accountability and public financial management . Expected results are robust fiduciary arrangements that ensure effective resource utilisation for the delivery of enhanced basic services, especially at the local level. The longer-term objective is the attainment of MDG targets in Ethiopia as a result of cost effective decentralised implementation of the PASDEP and associated sector development plans  all made possible by improved local governance.

Ethiopia - Protection of Basic Services (PBS II) Program. The proposed supplementary loan will provide resources to scale-up financing to Ethiopia's regions and woredas (districts) for the delivery of basic services and the strengthening of public financial management (PFM) systems. Indeed, this proposed loan will provide resources that will allow higher basic services expenditures during financial year (FY) 2010/11 which would otherwise not be possible. This would in turn contribute in assisting the Government to reach PBS II targets that are at risk of not being met, due mainly to the decline in the initially anticipated resources in 2008.

Ethiopia - Promoting Basic Services Programme (PBS III). The objective of the operation is to support the GoE in its efforts to reduce poverty and improve the standards of living of Ethiopians. In this context, the operational policy objectives focus on: (i) expanding access and improving the quality of decentralised basic services in education, health, agriculture, water supply and sanitation and rural roads by contributing to block grants and  (ii) strengthening local systems by supporting improved financial transparency and accountability systems and social accountability

Ethiopia - Privatization Technical Assistance Project. The Privatisation Technical Assistance Project aims to promote a dynamic private sector development. It is part of the privatization programme initiated by the Ethiopian of Government (GOE). The GOE has demonstrated its determination to vigorously implement this privatisation program. For the first phase of the program, the EPA privatised 176 (mostly small-scale) PEs. Under the current phase of the program, the GOE has prepared a Privatisation Action Plan involving the divestiture of 123 PEs, out of which 80 are expected to be brought to the point of sale by June 2001. Together with the support being provided by the World Bank and the GTZ, the ADF project should support the implementation of the Privatisation Action Plan. In addition, the privatisation of public enterprises would relieve tied resources and permit the Government to redeploy its scarce resources into areas of higher priority and poverty-focused projects and programs. The project consists of six components, namely: (i) transactions support  (ii) institutional support (technical assistance, provision of equipment and training)  (iii) public awareness promotion  (iv) post privatisation monitoring and impact analysis (v) Environmental Audit  (vi) Ethiopian Privatisation Agency (EPA) operating Support.  The sector goal of the project is to promote a dynamic private sector development. Its objective is to strengthen the capacity of EPA to effectively implement the privatisation action plan thereby reducing the size of the portfolio of state enterprises.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the Government of Ethiopia and, ultimately, the populations.

Morocco - Integrated Wind/Hydro and Rural Electrification Programme. The Integrated Wind/Hydro and Rural Electrification Programme is part of of Morocco’s strategic vision to improve its energy security, ensure access to energy in rural areas, and increase the share of renewable and clean energies, thus mitigating the effects of electrical power generation on climate change. It is estimated that the program will help prevent the emission of 65 million tonnes of CO2 over its entire lifetime. The program will allow for greater private sector participation in independent wind energy production, and finally will improve Morocco’s trade balance since 97% of primary energy sources currently come from imports. The project has three components. The hydroelectric and wind power component is called "WIND" while the rural electrification is called "PERG". The third component relates to the management of the program. The component "WIND" includes the construction of 3 wind farms (2 of which are financed by the Bank) with a total capacity of 550 MW located in northern Morocco  a set including a station of energy transfer by Pumped Power Transfer Station Project (STEP) and a hydropower complex with a total capacity of 520 MW. It involves the construction of transmission lines for the interconnection of these power generation facilities to the national grid and technical assistance. The 2 wind farms will be built over the 2012-2017 period.  The programme objective is to contribute to energy supply security through: i) the diversification of energy sources  ii) a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) and the harmonization of rural and urban access rates.  Specifically, the program will benefit the Government, ONE (National Electricity Board), rural and urban populations in Morocco, and contribute to reducing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions. The program covers four sites for energy production and storage facilities, and twenty-five provinces for rural electrification, some of which are difficult to access. Around 6,000 households will benefit from access to electricity. The program will be used to provide financial support for local development initiatives through the resources generated by activities such as land acquisition.

Ethiopia - Management Businesses to improve sanitation services in Arba Minch. The project concept of Arba Minch Town Municipality was submitted to AWF (African Wildlife Foundation) in response to a Call for Concept Notes on “Municipal-Supported Unsewered Sanitation Improvements for the Urban-poor in Sub-Saharan Africa", launched by AWF in 2011. This project will help the municipality of Arba Minch to address urgent sanitation needs at a time when its basic infrastructure and service levels are still largely inadequate, leaving more than half of the population without access to proper toilet facilities. It is fully aligned with the objective of this call to strengthen the development and implementation of all components of the sanitation value chain. The Project includes three components with a number of concrete outputs: (i) Component 1 targets the improvement of the sanitation service chain by increasing the demand for the construction of improved toilets, increasing the effectiveness of transport services for human excreta, increasing the production of compost from bio-solids and increasing the demand for compost for reuse  (ii) Component 2 focuses on the improvement of the Sanitation Planning and Municipal Capacity Building by increasing the coverage of the existing strategic sanitation plan and institutionalising operational sanitation planning  and (iii) Component 3 ensures efficient and effective utilization of AWF grant proceeds, and the timely delivery of project outcomes and outputs. The Executing Agency will be Arba Minch Town Municipality and the project will be implemented over a period of 48 months.  The project overall objective is to improve public health and livelihood conditions in Arba Minch. The project will help increase water supply and sanitation service provision in the area, streamline interventions, build capacity from both public and private stakeholders, and meet critical infrastructure gaps. Specifically, the project will focus on improving and increasing the various public and private services provided along the sanitation value chain, from waste collection, to transportation and processing. This will be done by helping small private businesses better leverage the income potential from the sanitation business, and earn additional revenus from the sale of urine and faecal waste byproducts such as bio-gas and fertiliser. The Project will deliver two specific results: (1) an Improved Sanitation Service Chain, and (2) Improved Sanitation Planning and Municipality Capacity.  The project will provide direct benefits for public and private sector actors along the Arba Minch sanitation value chain, by improving capacities, and by providing technical and entrepreneurial support. Indirectly and ultimately the population of Arba Minch will benefit from the project by an improved sanitary environment with functional, effective and affordable sanitation services. By the end of the project, at least an additional 10,500 persons (10%) will have access to improved toilet facilities. It will also boost local agriculture through the provision of new and affordable fertiliser.

Ethiopia - Basic Services Transformation Programme (BSTP) - Supplementary Financing. This intervention relates to Supplementary Financing of the Basic Services Transformation Programme (BSTP) in Ethiopia. This Supplementary Financing seeks to address quality and geographic inequalities in access to basic services in health, education, and water and sanitation and is thus a continuation of BSTP. It should allow the government to expand basic services mainly in the pastoral and underserved regions with emphasis on improving quality and equity for inclusive transformation. In addition, the programme should also strengthen accountability and citizens’ engagement in basic service delivery. The program has two components, namely: (i) Enhancing Quality and Equity in Basic Services  and (ii) Strengthening Accountability and Transparency and Citizens’ Engagement. Its outcomes are consistent with those for the original BSTP and comprise: (i) expanded and enhanced quality of basic services at the Woreda level  (ii) strengthened accountability and transparency in service delivery  and (iii) enhanced citizen’s engagement in service delivery.  The overall goal of BSTP is to contribute to poverty reduction and improved standards of living of Ethiopians. The purpose of the programme is to expand and deepen the provision of basic services with a focus on enhancing quality and equity mainly in health, education and water and sanitation  and enhance citizen engagement in basic service delivery.  The BSTP supplementary financing should continue to focus on expanding access to and improving quality in basic service delivery for the majority of the population. In line with the BSTP, the supplementary financing targets about 80% of the population who live in rural areas and women who constitute about 50% of the population. The underserved regions, like the pastoralist areas, and the rural poor and women should particularly benefit from the supplementary financing and this should be specifically tracked through the region-disaggregated indicators.

Ethiopia - Multi-Sectoral Approach for Stunting Reduction Project (MASReP). The Multi-sectoral Approach for Stunting Reduction Project (MASReP) is designed to contribute to the realization of the Ethiopian government's commitment, known as the Seqota Declaration (SD), through the implementation of a package of interventions in the selected districts of Amhara and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. The 2015 Seqota Declaration reaffirms the government's commitment to ending stunting in children under two by 2030. Indeed, malnutrition remains one of the main development challenges in Ethiopia. The project target area has the highest stunting prevalence in Ethiopia (48% of children under-five). The full project package of interventions consists of (i) infrastructure development/maintenance (water supply and irrigation schemes, health, education and agriculture facilities), (ii) livelihood support, production and promotion of nutritious food crops and livestock, and (iii) system/capacity strengthening activities. Among the 40 target woredas of the SD program, the project will implement the full package of multi-sectoral interventions in the prioritized 17 woredas while the remaining 23 woredas will benefit only from the SBCC and systems strengthening activities to complement government’s interventions. The MASReP is a fouryear project. The total project cost is UA 34.17 million with UA 22.00 million from ADF. The contribution of the Government of Ethiopia and communities is UA 11.38 and UA 0.79 million, respectively.  The Development Objective of the project is to increase access to multi-sectoral nutrition services for children under-five years in the Seqota Declaration areas. The project has 3 specific outcomes: (i) Improved access to services for health among children under-five years and PLWs (ii) Increased production and consumption of diverse and nutritious food, and (iii) Improved knowledge, attitude and practices on feeding, care and hygiene.  The direct beneficiaries of the project interventions are children under-five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW), including young mothers. The number of PLWs and under five children beneficiaries is estimated at 53,000 and 186,000 respectively. Vulnerable PLW and women will benefit from the nutrition-based livelihood support interventions. Around 119,000 School children, including adolescent girls, will benefit from the nutrition friendly school package involving school gardens, meals and nutrition clubs. Communities and farming households in the targeted woredas will derive health and economic benefits from increased access to water, availability of nutritious foods, and improved nutrition services. Selected health posts (9), schools (12) and farmers training centres (7) prioritized based on a set of criteria, including the location, level of need and size of beneficiary, will be upgraded to meet the national standard.

ETUDE MICRO-CENTRALES HYDROELECTRIQUES. The studies planned for this project are part of the plan to maximize the use of national energy resources for, among others, rural electrification, using micro hydro-electric power plants, isolated areas of the country that can not benefit for a long time, because of their distance from ONE's national network. To do this, studies will first focus on the general inventory of sites located near rural agglomerations likely to be equipped with small hydraulic units. They will be followed by summary technical studies, the selection of works according to criteria of technical feasibility, of socio-economic and financial interest, and will end with detailed technical studies of selected works.  The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, through the National Office of Electricity (ONE), will benefit directly from the project.

Matmata Hydro-electric Project. The Matmata Hydroelectric project is in line with the policy of valorization and exploitation of national primary energy resources laid down by the Gouvernment of Morocco.

Ethiopia - COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program (ECRBS). The Ethiopia COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support (ECRBS) program aims to support the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia’s NERP to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate the economic and social impacts of the COVID19 pandemic on local businesses and vulnerable households, particularly the urban poor. Indeed, Ethiopia ranks among the few sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries that have halved poverty within a decade. As of end May 2020, 1,172 cases of COVID-19 had been reported in country, with 209 recoveries and 11 deaths. The impact of COVID-19 on Ethiopia’s economy is likely to be significant and may reverse some economic progress achieved. The operation consists of a UA 120 million grant from the country’s ADF-15 Performance Based Allocation to finance the Ethiopian Government’s COVID-19 National Emergency Response Plan (NERP). This is a Crisis Response Budget Support provided in compliance with the Bank Group’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF), approved by the Boards of the Bank and the Fund on 8th April 2020. This program consists of three broad mutually reinforcing components: (i) supporting the health sector response to COVID-19, (ii) supporting the social sector response program against COVID-19 and (iii) safeguarding economic resilience against the after-effects of COVID-19 shocks.  The goal of the program is to support the NERP, Ethiopia’s response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes strengthening of healthcare service preparedness and response, protection of livelihoods, especially for the vulnerable, and support to private sector enterprises. Consistent with the response plan, the overall operational objective of the proposed operation is to support the implementation of measures to ensure that the country’s healthcare and social protection systems, fiscal position and economy are sufficiently supported to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The program will benefit the Ethiopian people by contributing to protection of macroeconomic stability and supporting a more inclusive economic recovery. The direct beneficiaries from the program are households, private sector, financial sector actors and recipients of social protection grants, including orphans, the elderly, persons with disability and the urban poor. The program measures will also support strengthening capacity and expansion of health systems in order to improve and strengthen basic service delivery.

Ethiopia - Productivity Enhancement Support to the Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks and Youth Employment (PESAPYE) - Revised Version. The Productivity Enhancement Support for the Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks and Youth Employment (PESAPYE) project will contribute to poverty reduction, economic growth, greater resilience and social cohesion in Ethiopia through enhanced productivity and commercialization of agriculture. PESAPYE is the second phase of the Bank-financed IAIP-Support Project (IAIP-SP) that was approved in 2018, focusing on development of essential agro-park infrastructure (waste-water treatment plants, rural roads, and markets) and capacity development around the IAIPs. It is complementing the IAIP-SP by establishing irrigation schemes and providing farmers with modern agricultural technologies through the Technologies for African Agriculture Transformation (TAAT) initiative to improve agricultural productivity and production and eventually provide raw materials for agro-processing in the IAIPs. The PESAPYE Project focuses on supporting the 4 IAIPs and the associated Rural Transformation Centres (RTCs), currently being developed by the GoE with support from the Bank and other bilateral and multinational partners. It will develop and rehabilitate 5 irrigation schemes in selected communities in proximity to the existing 4 IAIPs and their associated rural transformation centres. The project will also contribute to cushioning the medium-term effects of COVID-19, in particular through employment and support for youth enterprises in the rural economy, and will complement the Bank’s ongoing Policy Based Operation project to support implementation of the Ethiopia Covid-19 Crisis Response plans. It is co-financed in parallel by the Bank and the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA). The total cost of PESAPYE is UA 72.26 million with the Bank contributing UA 33.25 million to support three irrigation schemes and youth agripreneur activities.  The goal of the Project is to contribute to poverty reduction, economic growth and strengthened social cohesion in Ethiopia through enhanced productivity and commercialization of agriculture, focusing on the four Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks (IAIPs) areas  in Bure (Amhara Region), Bulbula (Oromia Region), Yirgalem (the Sidama Region), and Baeker (Tigray Region). The project objective is to increase agricultural production by developing irrigation and water management infrastructure in the Rural Transformation Centres (RTCs) of the selected IAIPs. The Project will develop the capacity of and empower graduate youth agripreneurs to setup commercial agro-enterprises and provide them access to finance to spearhead the transformation and commercialization of profit-oriented agribusiness enterprises. This contributes to enhanced socio-economic inclusiveness and resilience.  Main target beneficiaries are farmers and youths SMEs in the irrigation areas. According to the socio-economic gender disaggregated profile conducted by the feasibility study, a total of about 30,000 households from the irrigation schemes will benefit directly as well as 3,000 educated youth farmers. The direct beneficiaries are 2,000 households (hh) in Awobel/Dejene Woredas in Amhara Regional State  16,000 hhs in the Gidabo scheme for both Oromia and Sidama regions and 12,000 hhs in the Tekeze Humera Irrigation Scheme.

Guinea - Beyla-Kerouane Agro-Pastoral Development Project (PRODABEK). The Beyla-Kerouane Agro-Pastoral Development Project (PRODABEK) is part of the Government's policy to ensure food security and improve the incomes and living conditions of the population. Its design stems from the desire of the Government and the African Development Bank to remove the major constraints that hinder the sustainable development of the agricultural sector in Forestry Guinea. In quantitative terms, it was expected to result in a food production of 72,000 tonnes per year and an additional meat production of 5,380 tonnes per year from the fifth year onwards. PRODABEK was thus designed to increase agricultural food production, as well as meat and egg and milk production, reduce women's labour to enable them to engage in income-generating activities, rehabilitate the degraded environment and facilitate the movement of goods and people, trade between Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire and regional integration. The project is structured around six (06) components, namely: (A) support for agricultural production  (B) support for livestock production  (C) development of lowlands  (D) rehabilitation of rural roads  (E) agricultural and rural credit  and (F) project management and monitoring and evaluation.  The sectoral objective of PRODABEK is to strengthen food security and improve the income and living conditions of the population in the project area (prefectures of Beyla and Kérouané). Specifically, the project aims to increase agro-pastoral production while safeguarding the agro-ecological balance of the terroirs, with the active participation of the beneficiary population.  The main direct beneficiaries of PRODABEK are the agro-pastoralists who own the agricultural holdings managed by the project in its intervention area. The other direct beneficiaries of the project are: (i) beekeeping groups, village blacksmiths and agro-pastoralists, (ii) rice producer groups in the lowlands, (iii) beneficiaries of credit actions, the majority of whom are women, (iv) beneficiaries of actions with a social component of the project, including women and young people, and (v) structured farmer organizations.

Gambia - Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project (RWSSP) for The Gambia, developed as a project grant under JAS/ADF XII (Joint Assistance Strategy/African Development Fund XII) and the Government of The Gambia’s PRSP II focus (Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper), will provide rural water supply and sanitation facilities and services to improve community health in the country's five rural regions. It will also facilitate building the capacity of local authority institutions (regional area councils), Village Development Committees (VDCs), reflecting the Government’s commitment to decentralized decision making by focusing implementation at the district level. With its strong community-based approach, the Project will help extend reach to RWSS service provision to the North Bank, Central River, Lower River, Western and South Bank regions. While recent interventions in rural water supply have provided new drinking water facilities, very little work has been done to address the poor sanitation. This project will address both, and will adopt an integrated water and sanitation approach in implementation. The design of water and sanitation facilities is aimed at providing a satisfactory service using the most appropriate technology to achieve the project's objectives at minimum capital, operation and maintenance costs, energy consumption, imported materials and highly skilled expertise requirements. The designs also conform to the Gambian national design standards regarding such factors as minimum ground water yields, minimum and maximum pressures, safe disposal of human faecal matter well as for various categories of consumers and users.  The Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative Project for The Gambia (RWSSP) covers the five rural regions of the country. The aim of the project is to improve access to safe drinking water supply sanitation in the rural areas from the current level of about 70% to 72% for water supply and from 40% to 44% for sanitation. The project’s main outputs include: (i) new multi-village solar powered water supply systems   (ii) rehabilitation and up-grade of simple water systems into multi-village solar powered systems   (iii) improved sanitation facilities for schools, rural health centers and public places   (iv) institutional strengthening for government departments on the project   (iv) community education in sanitation and personal hygiene. The RWSSP will be implemented over a four-year period, from 2012-2015, and will contribute to serving an additional 65,000 people in rural Gambia.  The project will serve an estimated population of 65,000 people in 22 villages, which are currently poorly served. The project will provide 500 job opportunities to unskilled laborers and artisans in the communities, and capacity building for about 150 community volunteers on toilet construction. During the construction period, women will benefit from opportunities to develop little trading businesses.

Guinea - Artisanal Fishing and Fish Farming Development Project. The Artisanal Fishing and Fish Farming Development Project is conceived because of the will of the Government and the African Development Bank to remove these major constraints which still hinder the sustainable development of fishing and aquaculture. It aims to strengthen the people’s food security and reduce poverty. The project is expected to give the two sub-sectors of fisheries and aquaculture, the role that must be theirs in the economy of the country, including the creation of wealth, alleviation of poverty and the strengthening of food security and improving the living conditions of local populations. Indeed, the development of the fishing sector is still confronted with major constraints mainly related to the absence of: (i) landing facilities (on-shore services), (ii) appropriate credit for operators in the sector, and (iii) poor coastal surveillance. The PDPAP should therefore address these major constraints to ensure the sustainable management of the country's fisheries resources by focusing on: (i) protection of stocks through the close monitoring of the coastal maritime zone  (ii) strengthening of fisheries research activities  (iii) training of fish farmers, and the construction of a hatchery  (iv) establishment of a credit system and support to women for their trading and marketing activities  (v) construction of fishing bases  and (vi) financing, by means of a credit line, of the actors of the sector for the realization of the service infrastructures. The project comprises the following components: (a) Fish Farming and Inland Fishery Development  (b) Artisanal Maritime Fishery Development  (c) Support to the National Fishery Surveillance Centre  (d) Accommodating Research  (e) Credit Development  and (f) Project Management.  The sector objective of the project is to improve food security in the rural areas and increase exports. The overall objective is to increase fish production by 12.000 tons through improvement of the production and processing conditions, promotion of fish-farming in the rural areas and more effective coastal patrols.  Artisanal fishermen, industrial fishermen, fish farmers and fishmongers, processors and fish traders are the main beneficiaries of the PDPAP actions. The project's actions are expected to affect around 14,000 people including 7,700 artisanal fishers, 2,850 inland fishermen, 300 fish farmers and 500 women fishmongers, processors and fish sellers. The other beneficiaries of the PDPAP would be the deconcentrated services of the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture (MPA) and the partner structures of the project, which would see their human, financial and logistical resources strengthened.

Morocco - Green Morocco Plan Support Programme - Phase 2. The second phase of the Green Morocco Plan Support Programme (PAPMV-2) rests on the strategic guidelines of Government’s Medium-Term Development Programme, in particular the Green Morocco Plan (PMV), which is an instrument for implementing the Agricultural Strategy 2008-2020. It involves a two-tranche sector budget support to be implemented from October 2015 for a 15-month period expiring on 31 December 2016. The programme aligns with efforts to consolidate and deepen reforms already undertaken under the first phase (PAPMV-1) implemented between mid-2012 and mid-2014. Lessons learned from Phase I, the Paris Declaration principles as well as good conditionality practices were reflected in its design. This phased approach makes it possible to accompany the authorities in designing and implementing strategic and institutional reforms supported by the nation. In addition to tackling the socio-economic and environmental challenges, the proposed programme is a good opportunity to strengthen PMV’s impact and develop the resilience of the agricultural sector. It is an important institutional lever to synergize strategies on water, agriculture, energy and the environment. Co-financed by JICA (USD 132 million) through the Accelerated Co-financing Facility for Africa – ACFA, the programme will complement other operations funded by the European Union and the World Bank.  The programme’s general objective is to contribute to strengthening agricultural sector (AS) competitiveness for inclusive and green economic growth. Its specific objective is to improve sustainable natural resource management through green governance in the agricultural sector and the inclusive development of agricultural sector value chains.  PAPMV-2 will benefit the entire Moroccan population, especially the vulnerable and “most destitute” segments (youths and women) who will benefit from a national development or reform strategy aiming to reduce poverty, create jobs and strengthen inclusion. In particular, it will benefit: (i) the State and local authorities  (ii) SMEs and agricultural organisations  (iii) the private sector (aggregation, private agricultural advisory services, etc.)  (iv) project developers and young agricultural entrepreneurs and rural dwellers due to the improvement of the business climate  and (v) rural women (through access to value chains, land security and locally-based services, etc.).

Morocco - Industrialization Acceleration Support Programme in Morocco – Phase I (PAAIM I). The Industrialization Acceleration Support Program in Morocco - Phase I (PAAIM I) is a budget support program on the improvement of Morocco’s competitiveness of its industrial base and on the financing of industrial economic activities. The PAAIM I encourages the Government to accelerate the structural reforms needed to diversify the economy through industrialization, thus improving the quality of life of Moroccan citizens . The PAAIM provides a response to constraints on the competitiveness of the Moroccan economy, particularly in relation to the business climate and access to financing, as highlighted in the 2015 Growth Diagnosis, and more generally at the continent level within the framework document of the G20 Compact with Africa initiative. The acceleration of industrialization in Morocco will create sustainable jobs in a sector with very high added value. With a focus on industrialization, PAAIM I will bring skills from the labor force upward, including young and female workers, which will positively impact their standard of living. This program will also help the Government to meet part of the country’s financing needs for the 2017 budget year. The PAAIM I is an integrated intervention on the structural aspects related to competitiveness and the development aspect of SMES/SMIS through financing, which are complementary and necessary to industrial ecosystems. Consequently, it is divided in two components, namely: (i) support for the competitiveness of the industrial base  and (ii) support for the financing of industrial economic activities.  The main objective of the program is to contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for the acceleration of industrialization for sustainable economic growth. The specific objectives are: (i) to improve the competitiveness of the industrial base  and ii) support the financing of industrial economic activities.  The direct beneficiaries of the program are the Moroccan State, through the MEF and the MIICEN, as the amount of the program will be added to the budget of the State. The private sector, especially the industrial private sector, will also benefit directly from this program. SMEs, especially those run by women, are also indirect beneficiaries of PAAIM I, since the measures identified should facilitate business and provide easier and more diversified access to financing in the industrial sector. The indirect beneficiaries are  Moroccan citizens, whom will benefit from the stabilization of the country’s macroeconomic situation, and the increase in economic growth, through the creation of sustainable jobs in the industrial sector in particular.

Mali - Koulikoro Region Food and Nutrition Security Enhancement Project (PReSAN-KL). The present project which is held over a period of five years is relative to Koulikoro Food and Nutrition Security Support Project (PReSAN-KL). This project receives a US $ 37.21 million grant from the Global Agriculture Program and Food Security (GAFSP). It targets six hydro-agricultural sites in the Koulikoro region that have been the subject of participatory diagnoses as well as detailed pre-project studies, in close liaison with the Office of Development of the Upper Niger Valley (OHVN) and the Baguinéda irrigated area office (OPIB). The interventions identified target an increase in agricultural production (10,600 tons of rice and 20,300 tons of market gardening), thanks to a valorisation of surface water, the creation of development poles involving private actors, a better organization of producers, and specific attention to the development of value chains.  The goal of PReSAN-KL is to help improve food security and reduce poverty by about 178,000 people, by targeting women and smallholders as a priority, and relying on better control of water and secure access to land from small irrigated perimeters, landscaped basements and women's vegetable gardens. The project will also help to offset projected production shortfalls in the northern regions of the country affected by the security crisis.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are estimated at nearly 53,000 rural people, half of whom are women. The indirect beneficiaries, estimated through the six main communes concerned by the project, represent about 178,000 people divided among 28,000 households.

Morocco - National Irrigation Water Saving Programme Support Programme – Phase II. This project will support the implementation of the National Irrigation Water Saving Programme (PNEEI) whose purpose is to protect water resources and improve the living conditions of rural population through the sustainable management of these resources.

Morocco - Results-Based Programme for Enhancing Regional Competitiveness in Morocco (PARACT-M). The Results-Based Programme for Enhancing Regional Competitiveness in Morocco (PARACT-M) forms part of Pillar 1 of Morocco's 2017-2021 CSP "Support for Green Industrialization through SMEs and the Export Sector". It relates to a results-based financing (RBF), designed to support efforts by the Moroccan authorities to improve regional competitiveness so as to boost the industrial sector locally, attract more investors and create jobs. PARACT-M is a continuation of the Bank's intervention in Morocco to enhance the investment environment and strengthen the industrial fabric. Indeed, the Morocco Industrialization Acceleration Support Programme (PAAIM), a Bank programmatic budget support covering the periods 2017-2018 and 2019-2020, has already enabled accelerated structural reforms required for economic diversification through industrialization. Thus, while PAAIM was an excellent framework for intervention on public reforms, PARACT-M provides a specific and targeted response to the constraints on regional-level competitiveness in Morocco, as underscored in the Growth Diagnostic 2015, and more generally at the continental level under the Compact with Africa (CwA) initiative. PARACT-M is structured around two key components, namely: (i) improving the local investment incentives and environment and (ii) support for the competitiveness of the regional industrial fabric.  This operation’s development objective is to enhance regional competitiveness in order to attract private investors and thus create new jobs.  The main beneficiary of the program is the Government of the Morocco Kingdom. In addition, the program will benefit the entire Moroccan population.

Morocco - COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PARC-19). This proposal relates to an envelope of 264 million euros from the resources of the African Development Bank (AfDB) to contribute to finance the COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PARC-19). This is a crisis response budget support as defined by the COVID-19 Response Facility (CRF) approved by the Board of Directors on 8 April 2020. The programme will support the Moroccan Government’s efforts to tackle the health, social and economic crisis. Supplementary resources will be rapidly provided to the Kingdom to roll out emergency health and social interventions and build the resilience of the national economy. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a strategic high-level dialogue was initiated with the authorities on the emergency measures and the needs identified. The dialogue confirmed the priorities of the programme components. PARC-19 is centred on emergency measures necessary to tackle the COVID-19 crisis. It will help to strengthen the Moroccan health system capacity to detect the virus by granting new authorizations for health centres to carry out tests. Households –including those living off the informal sector–will be supported through targeted indemnities. Businesses too will be supported with enhanced cashflow to further build their resilience to the crisis. Therefore, the programme is structured around two components: (i) Support for the health and social response and (ii) Support for private sector resilience.  The goal of PARC-19 is to facilitate the response to the health, social and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, its proposed objectives are to (i) protect citizens against health risks, (ii) protect the jobs of citizens and preserve their purchasing power and (iii) build private sector resilience to prepare for the resumption of economic activity.  The direct beneficiary of PARC-19 is the State of Morocco through the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administrative Reform (MEFRA), since the loan resources will be included in the State budget. The indirect beneficiaries are Moroccan citizens who will receive indemnities during the crisis, thereby strengthening their purchasing power. The private sector, particularly VSMEs,will also benefit from the programme since the related products will help to build their resilience to the crisis.

Mali - Ansongo District Rural Development Project. The Ansongo District Rural Development Project aims the parcelling out and development of 6 irrigation areas with total water control, covering a net surface area of 450 ha, and controlled submersion plains of a total arable area of 2,610 net ha. It’s consistent with the Government’s priorities, aimed at ensuring food security given the climatic hazards, and significantly improving living standards in Ansongo District in a sustainable manner. The project should contribute to the consolidation and development of rural groups (120) and provide technical and financial support to target groups (groups, villages, municipalities, youths and women) to enable them to design and start up activities and micro-enterprises to ensure sustainable development of local resources. In order to prepare the rural communities to take charge of their own activities, the project should organize literacy and training programmes for the various groups that are partners in the project, village dignitaries, out-of-school youths, managers of micro-enterprises, and future municipal administrators. The project has four components, namely: (A) Irrigation Schemes  (B) Support for Sustainable Development of the Rural Economy  (C) Literacy and Training  (D) Project Management.  The sector objective is to contribute to the achievement of food security in the 7th Region/Gao. The project objective is to increase agricultural and animal production as well as the incomes of the people in Ansongo District.  The main direct beneficiaries of PRODECA are the agro-pastoralists who hold the plots where the improvements are made. The population concerned by the project is estimated at 31,200 people, including about 14,000 women. A workforce of 800 women is directly involved in vegetable production.

Morocco - Social Protection Improvement Support Programme – PAAPS. The proposed operation is an ADB loan of UA 150 million, equivalent to 204 million US dollars, to the Kingdom of Morocco to finance the Social Protection Improvement Support Programme (PAAPS). This programme is the second operation in Morocco using the results-based financing instrument in the social sector. The Bank’s results-based financing intervention will help to address social protection priorities based on government guidelines as part of an integrated and inclusive approach for the development of social policies. The programme will place special emphasis on upgrading health-care and social protection supply in Morocco’s three most disadvantaged regions, namely: Beni Mellal-Khénifra, DraaTafilalet, and Guelmim-Oued Noun. Thee three regions were selected because they have the country’s highest poverty rates with respectively 14.6% for Draâ Tafilalet, 9.3% for Beni Mellal Khénifra and 6.2% for Guelmim-Oued Noun. The rural areas of Beni Mellal-Khénifra and Draa-Tafilalet, remain the worst affected by poverty with respective rates of 20.6% and 17.7%. PAAPS will be implemented over four fiscal years (2020- 2023). By targeting the social coverage of vulnerable segments of the population, it will contribute to a reduction in social, geographic and gender disparities in access to social protection in general, poverty reduction and social exclusion, in particular. The exceptional focus on three regions (Beni Mellal-Khénifra, Draâ-Tafilet and Guelmim- Oued Noun) will enhance the quality of human capital in these areas and increase the population’s economic participation.  The programme objective is to improve the living conditions of the poor and vulnerable segments of Morocco’s population, particularly women in situations of vulnerability, children and disabled persons by facilitating inclusive access to social protection and improving social assistance governance. In this regard, the programme targets three main results areas: (i) reduce regional disparities in access to basic health care  (ii) improve governance of the main social assistance programmes  and (iii) ensure the sustainability of social assistance financing and investment efficiency.  The PAAPS will impact the following direct beneficiaries: (i) the three regions of Beni Mellal- Khénifra, Draâ-Tafilalet et Guelmim-Oued Noun that are poorly served by health facilities  (ii) the 80% of the population benefiting from medical coverage (50% of whom are women)  (iii) the 2.3 million registered RAMED beneficiaries who will receive improved health care services in the target regions (iv) the 127,000 widows who will benefit from the DAAM programme  (v) the 3,5 million SEPs benefiting from medical coverage  (vi) the 288,000 students 52% of whom are girls who will benefit from mandatory health insurance (AMO)  and (vii) the 350,000 poor and vulnerable people who will have access to improved social protection services nationwide. In addition, medical, paramedical, administrative and technical staff of the Ministry of Health will be trained under the continuing training programme for the sector’s human resources, staff of the Ministry of Solidarity and Family as well as those of associations responsible for social protection in the regions. PAAPS’s indirect beneficiaries mainly comprise the entire Moroccan population, health and social protection facility workers who, as a result of the programme, will have a better professional working environment from the human, physical and technological standpoints.

Morocco - Social Protection Improvement Support Programme – Covid-19 Additional Financing. The additional financing for the Social Protection Improvement Support Programme in response to the health emergencies linked to the COVID 19 crisis (PAAPS – COVID-19 SF) aims to contribute to the Government of Morocco’s response to the health crisis declared a pandemic by WHO on 11 March 2020. PAAPS – COVID-19 SF is in line with the “COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF)” approved in April 2020 by the African Development Bank Group to mitigate the health, economic and social effects of COVID-19 on regional member countries. This additional financing which concerning an AfDB loan of EUR 117.82 million, is a response to a request by the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Administrative Reform (MEFRA) dated 19 March 2020. The number of cases that have tested positive for COVID-19 in Morocco currently exceeds the symbolic threshold of 100 000 and there is a strong possibility of a second wave of coronavirus. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the achievement of PAAPS-I objectives as the pandemic spreads. The Bank’s support will therefore help to upgrade public health facilities and build their response capacity to contain the spread of the virus. Thus, PAAPS – COVID-19 SF will complement the objectives of the initial programme and directly support the Kingdom of Morocco in its emergency response to COVID-19 shocks by ensuring swift and effective patient care. The activities to be carried out under PAAPS – COVID-19 SF mainly concern: (i) the upgrading of hospital facilities by providing them with equipment  (ii) procurement and supply of drugs and pharmaceutical products  and (iii) the mobilization of medical and administrative staff. It will, therefore, contribute to community health care during the pandemic and the post-crisis period by continuing to improve health care quality in adequately equipped health facilities.  The proposed additional financing has two main objectives. The short- to medium-term objective is to contribute to the mitigation of COVID-19 health impacts by improving patient management conditions in public health facilities. In the longer term, the additional financing programme is expected to assist the Government in containing the effects of the pandemic and creating an enabling environment for the achievement of the broader objectives of the original PAAPS, which are to improve living conditions, especially of the most vulnerable segments of the population using an inclusive approach, access to social protection and social sector governance.  The PAAPS will impact the following direct beneficiaries: (i) the three regions of Beni Mellal- Khénifra, Draâ-Tafilalet et Guelmim-Oued Noun that are poorly served by health facilities  (ii) the 80% of the population benefiting from medical coverage (50% of whom are women)  (iii) the 2.3 million registered RAMED beneficiaries who will receive improved health care services in the target regions (iv) the 127,000 widows who will benefit from the DAAM programme  (v) the 3,5 million SEPs benefiting from medical coverage  (vi) the 288,000 students 52% of whom are girls who will benefit from mandatory health insurance (AMO)  and (vii) the 350,000 poor and vulnerable people who will have access to improved social protection services nationwide. In addition, medical, paramedical, administrative and technical staff of the Ministry of Health will be trained under the continuing training programme for the sector’s human resources, staff of the Ministry of Solidarity and Family as well as those of associations responsible for social protection in the regions. PAAPS’s indirect beneficiaries mainly comprise the entire Moroccan population, health and social protection facility workers who, as a result of the programme, will have a better professional working environment from the human, physical and technological standpoints.

Morocco - Support Program for Financial Inclusion, Entrepreneurship and Micro-enterprises for Economic Recovery (PIFE). The proposed operation is for a loan of EUR 120 million to contribute to the financing of the Financial Inclusion, Entrepreneurship and SME Support Programme for Economic Recovery (PIFE) in Morocco. PIFE is a continuation of the COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PARC 19), approved by the Bank in 2020, providing support to economic recovery by deepening reforms on financial inclusion and entrepreneurship. It constitutes sector budget support backing reforms that will be implemented to achieve the following specific objectives: (i) support financial inclusion and (ii) boost entrepreneurship and the resilience of MSMEs and (iii) simplification of procedures. The Programme is built around two main guidelines: (i) support the authorities in the implementation of reforms aimed at boosting the private sector which drives economic recovery, by facilitating financing  and (ii) better support MSMEs which make up 95% of the country's economic fabric. PIFE will be implemented in 2021/2022.  The main objective of the program is to finance economic recovery in order to enable businesses to restart, revive activity and maintain employment. To achieve this objective, the program supports reforms in the area of inclusive finance in order to facilitate the financing of SMEs and households, support entrepreneurship and improve the business climate by simplifying administrative procedures.  PIFE will benefit Morocco’s population as a whole through improved financial services that support MSMEs and create employment. In particular, it will benefit: (i) Moroccan MSMEs, by removing the obstacles to their business growth, particularly financing  improving the business environment through simplification of procedures  and expanding access to government contracts  (ii) young entrepreneurs and women in urban and rural areas who will be supported under the national INTELAKA programme  an estimated 30,000 entrepreneurs, at least 38% of them being the youth (i.e., percentage of young people in the population), will benefit, thus leading to the creation of 80,000 direct jobs  (iii) informal sector workers and the unemployed, a large proportion of them being women, who will be supported under the INTELAKA scheme.

Morocco - Project to Strengthen Drinking Water Production and Improve Technical and Commercial Performance (PRPTC). The Project  to  Strengthen  Drinking  Water  Production  and  Improve  Technical  and  Commercial Performance (PRPTC) is the first phase of a new drinking water supply (DWS) programme. The objective of this first phase is to reinforce and secure DWS production in several urban centres (Tissa,  Missour,  Outat  El  Haj and Meknès) and  to  improve DWS technical  and  commercial performance. Indeed, the project which seeks to improve the supply of drinking water to more than 4 million in habitants, will cost an estimated total of UA 120.8million (with Bank-financed activities costing UA 59.1million), over a period of 4 years (Beginning 2022 –End 2025).Co-financing  support  from  the Green  Climate  Fund  (GCF)  has  been  programmed  for  a  second phase, under an AfDB-GCF co-financing arrangement (planned for 2022-2023) and relating to projects  within  the  2019-2023 investment  program for  the  National  Electricity  and  Drinking Water Authority (ONEE-BO).  The project is designed to strengthen access to drinking water for urban and neighbouring rural communities estimated  at  about 500,000inhabitants (50%live in  rural  areas). Through Components B and C (Improvement of technical and commercial performance), the project will benefit an estimated 4 million inhabitants spread over the cities and towns managed by ONEE-BO, with strengthened performance, particularly in the efficiency of distribution networks. Enhancing production and improving technical and commercial performance (controlling water quality, improving customer service in real time, and reducing non-revenue water) will benefit mainly the vulnerable population of cities and towns grappling with unsustainable water sources and inefficient water infrastructure. The project will also create about 1,500 temporary direct jobs (including 20% for women), 150 permanent direct jobs (including 30% for women) and 10,000 indirect jobs (including 35% for women).  Through  Component A, the project will increase the production of  drinking  water  for:  (i) more than 140,000 urban inhabitants and about 100,000 rural inhabitants in the regions of Missour and  Outat El Haj  (ii) more than 10,000 urban inhabitants and about 70,000rural inhabitants in the region of Tissa  and(iii) more than 25,000 urban inhabitants and about 100,000 rural inhabitants in the region of Moulay Idriss Zarhoune. The total population targeted by Component A will therefore be about half a million inhabitants, with more than half of them in rural areas.

Under Components B and C, the beneficiaries are distributed throughout  the territory  and clearly determined at the beginning of each year, depending on the interventions that will be selected by the Regional Directorates of the ONEE-BO. The total number of beneficiaries is estimated at 4 million.

Mali - Selingué Rural Development Project. The present intervention concerns the Selingué Rural Development Project. It includes the development of a hydro-agricultural perimeter of 1120 ha net to compensate for crop losses caused by the dam's impoundment. The project also aims to improve the social and general living conditions of the populations concerned by the construction of new improved housing, health assistance, drinking water supply and the construction of health centres, maternity units, community centres and schools. The main components of the project are: (A) hydro-agricultural development  (B) monitoring  (C) population transfer and resettlement operations  (D) feeder road  (E) food aid  (F) social infrastructure and (G) management society.  The objective of the project is to relocate the populations affected by the impoundment of the Sélingué dam, whose lands and villages should be flooded in 1980, to develop new irrigated crop lands in order to ensure a regular supply basic foodstuffs whatever the climatic hazards - unlike the current situation - through total water control in the area.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the rural populations of the Selingué dam area in the Sikasso region.

Morocco - Nador West Med Port Complex Construction Project - Supplementary loan. The supplementary financing for the Nador West Med (NWM) Port Complex Construction Project, which is currently underway, is intended to complement the original Bank-financed project approved in 2015. This operation is part of the drive to develop the transport and logistics sector in Morocco, which, in the maritime and port sector, involves the construction and operation of an industrial port platform in Nador within the framework of the Oriental Region development programme. This project consists of three components: (i) construction of port infrastructure  (ii) attendant social and support measures for women and young people  and (iii) project management. The updated total project cost is MAD 9.4 billion or EUR 893.33 million. During project implementation, geotechnical and geological contingencies generated additional costs. These additional works were covered in Addendum No. 1, which should be financed by SNWM. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis, the Société Nador West Med (SNWM), like most public companies, is experiencing cash flow difficulties. This supplementary financing will help to bridge the gap in the original financing of the project, which was borne by Nador West Med Company, without modifying the planned activities, thus guaranteeing the proper implementation of the Nador West Med Port Complex Construction Project.  The objectives of the original project remain unchanged, namely: (A) At the sector level, the project aims to improve logistical competitiveness, port capacity and living conditions in the project impact area  (B) The project’s specific objectives are to (i) help eliminate regional disparities, particularly by accelerating and strengthening the economic and social development of the Oriental Region through enhancement of its attractiveness and creation of wealth and jobs  (ii) strengthen Morocco’s port services in the Western Mediterranean region and take advantage of its geostrategic position on the Strait of Gibraltar to attract a share of the global shipping business  and (iii) secure the supply of energy products to Morocco by establishing a second hub, particularly by expanding the intake and storage capacity in the project area.  Apart from the benefits that will accrue from the development of maritime trade in the Oriental Region, the project will boost the logistical competitiveness of the entire national economy. Its direct beneficiaries will be the users of maritime transport services, as well as the project area population. Its expected outcomes are: (i) increased port capacity  (ii) improved operational efficiency of the port in Oriental Region  and (iii) improved living standards and socioeconomic conditions in the project area.

Morocco - Rabat-Salé Airport Modernization and Extension Project (PEMARS) - Supplementary financing. The supplementary financing for the Rabat-Salé Airport Extension and Modernisation Project (PEMARS) is linked to the initial project under implementation. It is part of the transport sector development, in particular continuation of the upgrade and modernisation of infrastructure and services to boost the logistic competitiveness of the national economy. The unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 health crisis has led to a drastic drop in ONDA’s activity level since March 2020. In 2020, the number of passengers dropped by more than 70%, the number of flights by 65%, air freight by 36% and road traffic by 59%. ONDA’s financial situation has deteriorated over the past two years and the Authority is finding it difficult to fully meet its contribution to the initial project. The supplementary financing requested from the Bank will make it possible to finance part of the work initially under ONDA responsibility, in order to complete all planned activities and guarantee smooth project execution. The revised cost of the Rabat-Salé Airport Extension and Modernisation Project (PEMARS) amounts to EUR 176 million. This intervention consolidates previous Bank operations and strengthens its experience and comparative advantage in the air transport subsector.  The initial project’s two main objectives remain unchanged. The project’s sector objective is to contribute to the development of air transport infrastructure in Morocco to meet the needs of passenger and freight traffic by 2035. Specifically, the project targets: (i) an increase in Rabat-Salé Airport’s capacity  (ii) improvement of the quality of service to passengers and users  and (iii) contribution to the tourism and economic development of the project impact area (PIA).  The present intervention will benefit the Office National Des Aéroports (ONDA) in order to finance the deficit in the initial financing of the project, which was to be covered by ONDA, without modification of the planned activities, and thus guarantee the proper execution of the project.

Mali - Bamako-Bougouni Road Construction Project. L'aménagement de la route BAMAKO-BOUGOUNI vise en premier lieu à faciliter pour le Mali l'accès au port d'abidjan. En effet, cette route fait partie intégrante de l'axe Bamako-Abidjan. Artère vital d'approvisionnement du pays qui supporte actuellement plus de 60% des échanges extérieurs du Mali. Il vise à assurer également une circulation plus fluide sur la section suburbain qui connaît actuellement de graves problèmes de congestion aux heures de pointe.

Morocco - Support Program for the Generalization of Social Coverage (PAGCS). The proposed intervention is an AfDB loan of EUR 87 million to the Kingdom of Morocco to finance the first phase of the Support Programme for the Generalisation of Social Coverage (PAGCS). This is a sector budget support operation whose main objective is to support the Moroccan government in implementing its programme to bolster and consolidate the foundations of the ‘Social State’, in particular, by expanding social protection while improving governance and the efficiency of the system. Therefore, the program lays the foundations for completing the structural reforms aimed at making the social protection system much more inclusive and sustainable, and these reforms will complement the major investments in health infrastructure supported by the Bank. PAGCS will be implemented in 2022/2023 through a self-standing programme-based operation. This operation will be followed by a second phase in 2023.  The goal of PAGCS is to contribute to social protection system reforms in Morocco to increase social coverage of the population. Its main objective is to support the Moroccan government in its Programme and to bolster and consolidate the foundations of the ‘Social State’, in particular, by expanding social protection while improving governance and the efficiency of the system.  PAGSC direct beneficiaries will comprise 11 million non-salaried workers (including1.6 million farmers) and self-employed people who will be covered by Mandatory Health Insurance (AMO). The programme will benefit about 7,000,000 0-to 21-year-olds, of school-age, who will benefit from expanded family allowances by 2024as well as vulnerable families without children. It will also allow1,500,000 private sector workers to be insured and subject to the pension scheme by 2025 as well as informal sector workers who will migrate to more secure, formal sector jobs. The indirect beneficiaries are VSMEs, SMEs as well as national ad foreign investors who will take advantage of the business climate and the quality of human capital, largely due to better social protection and health services.

Mali - Markala-Niono Road Project. Le projet stimulera la production industrielle en facilitant l'évacuation et la distribution rapides des biens manufacturés émanant de cette région. On ne saurait sous-estimer l'importance de la valeur ajoutée imputable à cette activité. De même, avec l'élan donné à l'agriculture et à l'élevage, le projet se traduira par des résultats très positifs en ce qui concerne l'accroissement des revenues agricoles et des recettes d'exportation du pays. C'est toute l'économie voltaïque qui connaîtra ainsi  une réaction en chaine três bénéfique.

Morocco - Support Programme for Competitive and Resilient Development of Cereal Farming. The proposed operation concerns a loan of EUR 199 million to the Kingdom of Morocco to finance the Support Programme for Competitive and Resilient Development of Cereal Farming (PADCRC) in the country. It is a sector budget support programme prepared under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) and will be implemented over the 2022/2024 period. The combined effect of the exceptional drought duringthe 2021/2022 season, the increase in international food prices, and the consequences of the Ukraine-Russia conflict have negatively impacted international supply chains. The programme, which is in response to a government request dated 13 June 2022, was appraised in June 2022. The response to the dual crisis will comprise a series of government measures, which can be grouped under two components: (i) Support for emergency supply of cereals and support for actors in the sector  (ii) Support to improve sector competitiveness, resilience, and governance.  The objective of the programme is to enhance food and nutrition security by improving the productivity and resilience of national cereal production to guarantee food security in the short term and reduce the country's dependence on cereal imports. The programme’s expected outcomes are as follows: (i) improving the technical and economic performance of the sector  and (ii) building resilience by strengthening the governance of the sector, supporting the sector stakeholders, and adapting to climate change.  PADCRC’s direct beneficiary will be the Moroccan Government through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, insofar as the loan resources will be included in the State budget. This will increase the resources mobilised by the Government to contain the cereal import bill and the impact of rising international commodity prices. About 980,000 cereal farmers, most of whom are smallholders (farms of less than 5 ha), will be the main direct beneficiaries of the measures supported. About 70,000 of the farmers will be women, who will witness an improvement in their income, food security and well-being, as well as those of their dependents, estimated at 12.6 million. Morocco’s population, especially those with limited income, will also be direct beneficiaries of the support because it will help preserve their purchasing power (reduction or suspension of customs duties on cereal imports, etc.) and strengthen food and nutrition security. Finally, private operators active in the cereal sector (storage agencies, millers, importers, transporters, etc.) will also be beneficiaries of the support.

Morocco - Inclusive Access to Health Infrastructure Support Programme (PAAIIS). The proposed operation is an AfDB loan of UA 97 million, or the equivalent of EUR 120 million, to the Kingdom of Morocco to finance the Inclusive Access to Health Infrastructure Support Programme (PAAIIS). This programme is the Bank’s third health sector operation in Morocco that uses a results-based financing instrument. It is based on an integrated and inclusive approach to the development of social policies to improve the living conditions of vulnerable segments of the population, particularly women and the inhabitants of landlocked areas, through increased access to quality health services. The programme will also help to reduce disparities in access to health care facilities through better connectivity with innovative solutions and better allocation of human resources. Lastly, it will help to consolidate the experiences acquired in the use of this new financing tool. PAAIIS will span four fiscal years (2023-2026).  The programme’s objective is to contribute to improving the living conditions of Moroccans, especially vulnerable groups, including women, and the inhabitants rural or hard-to-reach areas, through increased access to quality health services. To this end, the programme targets three main result areas: (i) Reducing disparities in access to health care infrastructure (primary and secondary)  (ii) Improving connectivity with innovative solutions for better health service delivery  and (iii) Strengthening governance through better human and financial resource allocation.  This programme will reduce direct health-related expenditure in Beni Mellal-Khénifra Region and Azilal Province, the programme’s beneficiary areas. One of the direct consequences will be to alleviate the weight of these expenses on the incomes of the most disadvantaged households. Through the new health infrastructure, the programme will also strengthen the economic dynamics of the beneficiary areas and increase their attractiveness, with direct and indirect job opportunities for young people, women and the inhabitants of rural or hard-to-reach areas. The use of digital health devices under in this programme will have a major catalytic effect on the resilience of the health system.

Mali - Sikasso-Kinia-Dioila Road Study Project. Le projet Mali - Sikasso-Kinia-Dioila a été approuvé en 1974 et clôturé en 1982.

Morocco - Support Programme for the Generalisation of Social Coverage for better Employability (PAGCS) - Phase II. The proposed operation is a EUR 149 million AfDB loan to the Kingdom of Morocco to finance the second phase of the Support Programme for the Generalisation of Social Coverage for Better Employability (PAGCS). PAGCS is a two-phase consecutive programme-based sector budget support (SBS) series covering the periods 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. The programme is helping to address major challenges and constraints which the country continues to face in its efforts to achieve sustainable and balanced socio-economic development. It continues to lay the foundations for the completion of structural reforms aimed at making the social protection system much more inclusive and sustainable for the informal sector’s smooth transition to the formal economy, and these reforms will complement the significant investments in health infrastructure supported by the Bank. PAGCS-II maintains the same complementarity components of the initial programme, namely: (i) Extending inclusive social protection and promoting quality employment  and (ii) Providing support for universal health coverage.  PAGCS-II seeks to help speed up reforms of the country's social protection system to ensure better integration of the informal sector, the creation of quality employment opportunities and greater social inclusion. Its main objective is to support the Moroccan government in its programme to strengthen the “Social State”. By adopting a programme-based approach, PAGCS-II continues the reform effort, already under way in 2022 (PAGCS-I) to cover 2023, with a view to facilitating alignment with the country's development policies and creating the conditions for inclusive, resilient, and sustainable growth.  PAGCS' direct beneficiaries will be at least 5.5 million non-salaried workers (including 1 million farmers) and self-entrepreneurs who will be covered by the AMO. The programme will also benefit about 100,000 beneficiaries of the AWRACH-2 programme who have lost their jobs and are finding it difficult to find employment opportunities, and who will move on to more secure formal jobs. In addition, 500 informal businesses will benefit from awareness and training measures. The programme will also enable VSMEs, startups, self-employed entrepreneurs and cooperatives to gain access to public contracts, thereby generating more quality jobs for inclusive growth. The indirect beneficiaries are national and foreign investors who will benefit from the improved business climate and the quality of human capital, largely due to better social protection and health services.

Comoros - Energy Sector Support Project (PASEC) - Supplementary Financing. The present intervention relates to additional funding for the Energy Sector Support Project. It falls directly in line with the actions taken by the Union of the Comoros to improve performance and promote energy sector development. It consist of three main thrusts, namely: (i) support for rehabilitation and technical implementation  (ii) energy mix  and (iii) capacity building. It implementation will help address the failures observed in the electricity sector through increased production capacity, reduced levels of technical and commercial losses and energy sector capacity building. Its realization of this project, planned to last 38 months, is also a major stride towards providing the Union of the Comoros with the studies required to tap its renewable energy potential, thereby laying the groundwork for green growth in a fragile State. The project comprises three components, namely: (i) support for rehabilitation and technical implementation  (ii) institutional support  and (iii) project management.  The project has three major objectives: rehabilitate production capacities in the three islands, contribute to the improvement of financial governance through capacity building in the electricity sub-sector, and ensure the preparation of the quality-at-entry of future renewable energy projects by conducting appropriate studies.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the three islands of the Union of the Comoros as well as businesses and industries connected to the grid, whose living and working conditions will improve as a result of the access to more stable and better quality power supply. The project's direct beneficiaries will be involved in the project through education and information campaigns aimed at encouraging them to adopt responsible behaviour in terms of settling bills, ensuring energy efficiency and cooperating with the two power corporations.

Madagascar - Education Project III. The Education Project III is designed as a response to the country's low human resources. It was initiated in a context where Madagascar has socio-economic indices, most of which are below the sub-Saharan average. This project is also an instrument for implementing the second National Programme for the Improvement of Education (PNAE 2), which aims to strengthen the education system. The project is expected to contribute to increasing the capacity of the primary education sub-sector, providing the necessary infrastructure for the vocational rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and improving the technical and administrative capacity of the management and support structures of the ministries responsible for basic education and vocational training. The project has four components. The first is to improve the capacity of primary education. The second concerns the vocational rehabilitation of people with disabilities. The third component concerns the institutional strengthening of the structures of MINESEB and METFP. The fourth component is project management.  The sector goal of the Project consists in helping to improve the quantitative and qualitative objectives of the National Education Improvement Programme (PNAE). The specific objectives are to increase the people’s access to basic education in the poorest districts, especially those prone to repeated passage of cyclones, by: (a) strengthening the intake capacity of primary schools through the provision of equipped facilities  (b) improving the quality of primary education through the provision of teaching aids  (c) providing infrastructure necessary for the vocational re-adaptation of persons with disability  and (d) building the technical and administrative capacity of the management and support structures of ministries in charge of national education, technical and vocational training.  Populations in rural areas that are landlocked and poorly served by educational provision, and who are vulnerable to climatic hazards, are the main beneficiaries. School building sites should be identified on the basis of consideration of factors related to geographical location, school coverage and provision of educational facilities, and the need for standardization of existing schools. The capital and cities of the five provinces are concerned with the construction of rehabilitation centers for people with disabilities.

Comoros - Road Network Rehabilitation Project. The Road Network Rehabilitation Project is designed because of the poor quality of infrastructure, especially road infrastructure, and related services is one of the major constraints on economic diversification in the Comoros. Indeed, economic activities in the country focus mainly on agricultural and tertiary sectors. The improvement of the national road network and, to a lesser extent, its extension, should contribute to the development of the tourism and fisheries sectors which have been identified as another potential growth pole for the national economy. By helping to improve the quality of services and reduce the cost of transport, this project will facilitate equitable access by the project area population to reliable road transport and basic social infrastructure. The project will also improve their incomes by helping to increase and develop production that would stem from trade facilitation. Similarly, the structures were designed to address and prevent the effects of climate change. The project will be implemented from December 2016 to December 2020. The total project cost, exclusive of taxes and customs duties (ET/CD), is estimated at UA 27.129 million. The components of this project are: (A) road works, comprising: (i) the rehabilitation of 47 km of road  (ii) protection against sea erosion  and (iv) raising the population’s awareness  (B) support measures for women’s empowerment  (C) institution building, using procurement and institutional reform specialists  and (D) support for project management and monitoring.  The project’s sector goal is to improve the quality of road infrastructure in order to boost trade. Specifically, the project aims to improve: (i) the movement of goods and people  (ii) the service level  and (iii) access to basic services and the living conditions of the population of the project impact area.  The direct beneficiaries of this project are therefore the PIA population in general and, in particular, road users, women’s associations that will be supported, beneficiaries of capacity building activities, businesses and various service providers who will be mobilized.

Madagascar - Health Project II. The Health Project II responds to a real need of the poorest, the most remote and the most disadvantaged populations in terms of accessibility to health infrastructures in the six provinces of the country. It contributes to the achievement of the objectives of the National Health Development Policy (PNS) of Madagascar in general, and those of its Health Master Plan (PDS) in particular. The project takes into account the construction and rehabilitation, the supply of essential drugs, rolling stock equipment and logistics. This is to take over the activities not yet covered by some donors. The establishment of quality health facilities in poor areas combined with the development of maternal and child health / reproductive health (MCH / RH), awareness campaigns on the fight against communicable diseases (STD / AIDS, malaria) and cervical cancer, will necessarily contribute to improving the health status of the population and, therefore, will increase economic productivity. The project is divided into five components, namely: (i) development of quality health services at the health district level  (ii) institutional strengthening and human resource development  (iii) the supply of essential drugs  (iv) improving the well-being of the family  (v) project management.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the National Health Development Policy and the Master Plan of Health, by improving the health status of the Malagasy population (especially women and children). The specific objective is to increase the population's access to quality health care in the poorest health districts.  The beneficiary populations, particularly women and children, are those in the poorest and most isolated rural areas of the country, who are the main victims of diseases and their consequences, particularly the low level of productivity. These people should, thanks to the project, benefit from quality care at a lower cost. The time saved on the disease should be able to be spent on more rewarding, income-generating tasks.

Madagascar - Cyclones Eline, Gloria and Hudah Damage Repairs Project. The Cyclones Eline, Gloria and Hudah Damage Repairs Project aims to open up four provinces of Madagascar (Anstiranana, Majunga, Tuelar and Fiananaransto) in order to restore agricultural activities and access to social services. It’s initiated because of the great human and material damage caused by the successive passages of these cataclysms. In view of the geographical dispersion of the regions affected, the scale of the damage and the difficulties of communication, the Government's means of intervention remain insufficient. The project comprises five (05) main components, namely: 1) repair work on 1767 km of classified network roads  2) procurement and installation of 270 m of modular bridges  3) repair works on the 153 km long south railway line  4) inspection and monitoring of works  and 5) project auditing.  The sector goal is the opening up of four provinces of Madagascar in order to restore agricultural activities and access to social services (schools and health centres).  The project objective is to reestablish traffic on 1767 km of roads and 153 km of railway in order to restore the level of services prior to the outbreaks of the cyclones.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the four (04) provinces concerned, namely: Antsiranana, Majunga, Tuélar and Fianaransto. These populations are estimated at 7.5 million inhabitants, that is 50% of the country, 80% of whom live in the rural area. They are among the poorest in the country with an average household income of about US$ 540, lower than the national average (US$ 639).

Tunisia - Economic Recovery and Social Inclusion Support Programme (PAREIS). The project is an AfDB loan of EUR 60 million, to the Republic of Tunisia to finance the Economic Recovery and Social Inclusion Support Programme - PAREIS. This operation, which is the Bank’s contribution to multi-donor budget support (2020-2022) for Tunisia, is intended to support post COVID-19 economic recovery while responding more efficiently to the social challenges exacerbated by the pandemic. PAREIS will, therefore, contribute to the achievement of the development objective of the Joint AFD-African Development Bank, World Bank-JICA-KfW Reform Support Programme aimed at strengthening macroeconomic stability in the near-term and gradually controlling the fiscal balances, while contributing to an appropriate response to social demand, in the medium term. The operation’s two focus areas are: (i) acceleration of quick-impact reforms likely to speed up economic recovery and job protection  and (ii) social spending efficiency and efficacy through streamlining and better targeting of social assistance programmes.  The goal of PAREIS is to contribute to economic recovery by improving the investment climate, job protection and social inclusion. Its main objective is to support the Tunisian Government in its efforts to mitigate the economic and social impacts of COVID 19 by speeding up economic recovery, safeguarding jobs and strengthening social inclusion.  The direct beneficiaries of the PAREIS programme will be 12 million inhabitants, self-employed workers impacted by the crisis, especially the lockdown of May 2021, and wage earners who could be laid off or placed on furlough, estimated at 227,000 persons. More specifically, the programme will affect 1.4 million micro-credit applicants and the populations of the hinterland regions benefiting from improved basic infrastructure and access to social services. The programme will also impact the 470,000 lowincome households (beneficiaries of discount health cards) and 260,000 poor families (beneficiaries of permanent cash transfers), plus an estimated 400,000 vulnerable families affected by the health crisis who are not registered in the MAS database. It will also impact farms and provide support to male and female farmers in the wake of natural disasters and will also help to mitigate the impact of the COVID crisis. The indirect beneficiaries are MSMEs, SMEs and national and foreign investors who will benefit from the improved business climate and quality of human capital.

Tunisia - Project to develop and equip the Power Transmission Grid (PAERTE). The Project to Develop and Equip the Power Transmission Grid (PAERTE) is an investment project aimed at strengthening Tunisia's electricity transmission grid. It is part of the electricity transmission programme of the XIIIth Plan 2016-2020. The project is consistent with Tunisia's energy transition plans. Indeed, the envisage project infrastructure is aimed at integrating renewable energies into the national electricity grid. The PAERTE project is therefore one of STEG's initiatives to strengthen and extend its electricity transmission network before this deadline, with a view to absorbing and transmitting countrywide the large volume of intermittent renewable energy expected from these planned solar and wind power plants. Its completion will make it possible to increase the transit capacity of transmission lines and distribute electricity, thus integrating locally produced renewable energy  reduce technical loss rates  and improve the overall quality of service. The duration of the project physical execution is 48 months from 2020 to 2023 with a total cost estimated at EUR 290 million.  The project sector objective is to improve the performance of the national electricity transmission network in order to meet the country's growing demand for electricity and contribute to Tunisia's economic and social development. Its goal is to improve electricity supply quality throughout the country, particularly in the Bizerte, Ben Arous, Sousse, Sfax, and Gabes governorates. The project also aims to strengthen the electricity grid for the integration of renewable energies expected from solar and wind power plants that are being developed.  Over 400,000 people live in the project influence area, half of whom are women. Owing to its direct impact on electricity distribution networks, transmission network stability and service quality improvement, the project will generally benefit all STEG household and industrial subscribers. Specifically, the project will benefit residential customers in areas experiencing high voltage drops, new housing estates that will be connected to the electricity grid, economic actors, tourism infrastructure and future independent producers of electricity, including from renewable sources (solar and wind), that will have a reliable outlet for the power generated from their plants. During the construction phase, an estimated 1,200 temporary jobs will be created. Unskilled labour will be primarily recruited locally. Tunisian companies with proven energy sector experience will benefit from several direct or sub-contracted contracts during construction of the project's electricity infrastructure. They will also benefit from maintenance contracts for same infrastructure during the operational phase. In addition, the project will contribute to the deployment of the renewable energy development programme in Tunisia, whose objectives include strengthening the development of a green energy industrial sector (manufacture of solar and wind power plant equipment).

The implementation of SINEAU fits perfectly into the work of EMWIS (Euro-Mediterranean Information System on Know-How in the Water Sector), which consists in identifying and gathering all the available information and experiences acquired by the partners at local, regional and national levels in water management in order to ensure accessibility to all. The Project is also a key step in achieving the objectives of the PISEAU II Investment Project, and constitutes parallel and complementary funding to PISEAU II. It will thus build on the achievements of PISEAU I and develop them by preparing the integration of the main water users and data providers with a view to monitoring national water policy and eventually providing reliable and harmonized information for the national water accounts. It is relevant insofar as the effective operationalization of SINEAU will provide the Tunisian authorities with a decision support tool with the aim of "Optimizing the agricultural productive value of each drop of water received by each cm² of soil". AWF's support for the implementation of SINEAU is based on 4 components as follows : (i) Development of the NETWORK and the 3 sub-systems SYGREAU, SOLS and COPEAU  (ii) Capacity Building  (iii) Preparation of the Integration of all water users - data providers into the NETWORK  (iv) Project Management. The implementation of SINEAU will improve decision-making in the fields of water and agriculture in Tunisia. It is planned to be implemented over a 3-year period and the total cost is estimated at € 3 350 570.  The objective of the project is to optimise the management of surface and groundwater resources and agricultural soils in irrigated areas by setting up monitoring systems using standardised, interoperable data stored in a single information system (SINEAU), which will integrate in a single sphere of knowledge the various aspects that will make it possible to (i) understand the current state of water and irrigated soil resources, (ii) monitor their evolution and (iii) assist in making preventive decisions. The main results targeted by the project are the following: (i) a national information system on irrigated water and soils is available and functional as well as accessible to the national decision-makers concerned, (ii) decisions on the use and conservation of irrigated agricultural water and soils are more rational.  For the first stage of the implementation of SINEAU, the direct beneficiaries are the two Directorates General of MARH and the Directorate General of MEDD concerned. Eventually, SINEAU will be an information portal enabling potential users of water data, whether they are professionals from the Administration, specialists from the private sector, researchers or teachers, students or more simply political decision-makers or civil society, to access the data and information present in the portal or to access the data managed by the contributors.

Tunisia - Regional Development and Job Creation Support Project. The Regional Development and Job Creation Support Programme (PADRCE) is a general budget support of EUR 183 million to the Tunisian Treasury, executed in a single disbursement. PADRCE supplements the two previous budget support operations (PAGDI and PARDI) whose completion reports concluded on the need to pursue reforms to bridge regional inequalities and create employment. The two pillars retained for this operation centre on: (i) Regional development  and (ii) Skills development, labour quality upgrade and social dialogue. The first pillar will help to speed up the implementation of public investments, improve local taxation and trigger the operationalisation of decentralisation to reduce disparities in access to public services. The second pillar completes and strengthens the first component by improving the quality of human capital and social dialogue. It thus aims to support structural educational and training system reforms especially by instituting functional sector coordination, improving sector governance, strengthening partnership with the private sector and establishing an appeased social climate. PADRCE is expected to help to bridge regional disparities on the one hand, and reduce the unemployment rate from 15% in 2015 to 14% in 2017, alongside a higher employment rate of young graduates from 68.6% in 2014 to 70% in 2017, on the other.  The programme aims to contribute to accelerated and inclusive growth in Tunisia by ensuring regional development and establishing a conducive climate for job creation. To that end, two specific objectives are sought: (i) accelerating the delivery of public investment in the regions and reducing disparities of access to public services and social assistance systems  and (ii) fostering skills development, labour quality upgrade and an appeased social climate.  PADRCE will benefit: (i) the inhabitants of interior regions of the country  (ii) 58,000 graduates annually of higher education, 66% of them girls, and certificate holders of vocational training  and (iii) women and youth micro-credit beneficiaries as well as 235,000 families targeted by social assistance.

Tunisia - Project to Improve the Quality of Treated Water. This project will help to improve the performance of sanitation services and the quality of treated wastewater (TWW) in Tunisia. It will contribute to achieving one of the National Sanitation Agency (ONAS)’ strategic objectives, which is attaining a 50% TWW reuse rate by 2016. The project will, through actions designed to promote TWW reuse, effectively contribute to reducing water stress in the country as well as addressing users’ grievances, which are increasingly being taken into consideration since the 14 January revolution in terms of access to a regular supply of sufficient quantity and quality of TWW for irrigation. It will be implemented from 2012 to 2016, comprising a series of operations under two components aimed at: (i) upgrading sanitation facilities by overhauling the water and sludge systems and transfer networks, and establishing remote monitoring and management systems  (ii) building the capacity of the National Sanitation Agency (ONAS) through assistance for studies, works monitoring and control, participation in training, procurement of operating equipment and project management. These operations will be implemented at a total cost of UA 33.30 million or TND 73.67 million, financed to the tune of 88% by the Bank and 12% by the Tunisian Government.  The project aims to upgrade the sanitation infrastructure and strengthen the capacity of the National Sanitation Agency (ONAS) of Tunisia to improve the quality of treated water.  The will benefit about 3963 419 people, through 30 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) distributed in 17 Governorates.

Madagascar - Economic Management Reform Support Programme. The PARGE is a support to the Republic of Madagascar for economic recovery and the implementation of its national strategy. This operation aims to consolidate previous budgetary support achievements and programmes and also to contribute to addressing the factors of fragility linked to: (i) growing poverty  (ii) poor management of public resources  (iii) low private investment and a deteriorating business climate  and (iv) rising unemployment and underemployment, especially among youth and women. The PARGE is structured around two complementary components: (i) Broadening the fiscal space to better support economic growth  and (ii) Promoting economic recovery through investments that create jobs and reduce socio-economic inequalities. Its implementation will have a distributive and sustainable impact, allowing the State to have the necessary budgetary space to improve the provision of essential social services, including education and health, and to better promote public and private investment.  The development objective of the PARGE Reform Programme is to contribute, in consultation with other development partners, to creating the conditions for inclusive, strong and sustainable growth through the strengthening of economic management. The operational objectives of this reform programme are: (i) improving tax revenue mobilization  (ii) rationalizing public spending  (iii) improving the efficiency of public spending  and (iv) promoting investment.  The Malagasy populations, which have been severely affected by the adverse effects of the five years of socio-political crisis, will be the main beneficiaries of the programme. The payment of domestic arrears and the increase in productive public investment will mainly enable economic operators to benefit from business opportunities, thus contributing to the creation of national wealth and job creation, for the benefit of young people and women.

Madagascar - Effectiveness Improvement for Disaster Risk Reduction Project. The proposed project aims to assist the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC) to benefit from targeted technical assistance to improve the country's resilience to climate hazards. The project also provides support to community-based risk and disaster management (DRM) actors, whose involvement can be critical to progress towards inclusive and sustainable development. The project has retained two main components that are interrelated and mutually reinforcing, namely (1) strengthening the technical, operational and institutional capacities of the BNGRC and the national platform at central and decentralised levels for effective monitoring  (2) developing disaster monitoring and risk management systems, knowledge, information systems and exchange of experiences to achieve the objectives of disaster risk reduction (DRR), recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction (the 3Rs) and testing capacities to adjust them The total cost of the project, excluding taxes and customs duties, is UA 1,000,000.00, to be mobilised from the Transition Support Facility (TSF). Its implementation, through the acceleration of the national information exchange and feedback system (SNERI) and the expansion of the network of specialised Civil Protection Units, will greatly contribute to strengthening resilience and the capacity to adapt to risks related to natural disasters by drastically reducing response times through a policy of increased prevention, particularly in 6 regions at risk of cyclones and floods. The duration is twenty-four (24) months maximum.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to green economic growth by strengthening the resilience of vulnerable populations and by accelerating and sustaining the reduction of natural, climatic and man-made disaster risks. Specifically, the project aims to i) Develop preventive actions through the establishment of an appropriate and efficient organisation, by strengthening the technical and operational capacities of the national platform (BNGRC, its branches and partners) at central and decentralised levels  and, through disaster watches, risk management, knowledge, information systems and experience sharing  ii) Strengthen synergy and increase the interoperability of the various partners by reinforcing the strategic partnership, coordinating external aid, managing the influx of international humanitarian actors and by providing specific materials and equipment to support crisis management and projectable assessment, recognition and coordination modules.  The project will be implemented by the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC) in five of the most vulnerable regions, namely Atsimo Andrefana, Analanjirofo, Menabe, Sofia and Vatovavy Fitovinany. The main beneficiaries are the BNGRC, the GRC actors and the populations of the 6 targeted regions at risk.

Madagascar - Energy Sector Reform Support Programme. The Programme to Support Energy Sector Reform (PARSE) in Madagascar is the first in a series of programmes that will support the strengthening of the energy sector as part of the Bank's intervention strategy for Madagascar, covering the period 2017 - 2021. The programme will support structural reforms to improve electricity supply, which will benefit vulnerable groups who do not have the financial resources to acquire back-up generators to be supplied with electricity during power outages. This program has two components: (i) the improvement of JIRAMA's governance framework and financial management  and (ii) the improvement of JIRAMA's production and quality of service. As a budget support operation, the implementation of the programme's reforms will provide the State with the necessary budgetary space to improve the provision of essential social services to the population, particularly in hospitals, schools and businesses. This will have a positive impact on the quality of health and education of the population and on job creation.  The main objective of PARSE is to contribute to the elimination of constraints to the development of the electricity sub-sector in Madagascar, while creating favourable conditions for investment and inclusive growth. The specific objectives are as follows: (i) to contribute to the improvement of JIRAMA's performance (governance and financial management)  and (ii) to improve the efficiency of JIRAMA production and service quality.  The direct beneficiary of the programme is JIRAMA. Indirect beneficiaries are people served with better quality electricity: households, whose living conditions will be improved, and socio-economic operators, whose activities will be more profitable. The final beneficiary of the programme is the whole population, not only the 15% of the population who have access to electricity, but also those who, thanks to improved services, could be connected to the grid.

Tunisia - The Electricity Distribution Networks Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project. The Electricity Distribution Networks Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project is an
energy-efficiency project aimed especially at improving service quality, preserving the
environment, cutting costs and ensuring the safety of workers and third parties. It covers the
whole country. The main activities of the project area are industry, tourism, handicrafts, trading
and services. The overall project cost is estimated at TND 111.66 million (UA 52.41 million),
net of taxes.  The project is designed to match Tunisia’s socio-economic development, marked by
the growth and modernization of industries and services, and the population’s enhanced
living standards (Gross National Product rose from USD 2,090/inhabitant in 2000 to USD
3,200 in 2007), which has spurred increasing demand for electricity. The electricity
consumption trend (5% annual increase) has led to the saturation of power distribution
networks, sections of which are obsolete and require urgent upgrading. The technical option
selected is network rehabilitation, modernization and upgrading. This option is the best since
there is no single substitute option for the whole project. The project comprises nearly 660
sub-projects for which alternatives have been studied.  The main beneficiaries are: (i) Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz, STEG
(Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company), thanks to which it will have a more reliable and safer
electricity distribution network, increase the quantity of energy sold and its turnover, and
improve the safety of workers and third parties  (ii) small and medium-scale industries, the
tourism sector and resident subscribers who will benefit from better quality service, works and
supply contracts.

Madagascar - Preparation Activities of the Nascent Rural Businesses Project for the Middle-West (PROJERMO). The present project focuses on the implementation of the preparatory activities of the Rural Junior Enterprise Project in the Middle East (PROJERMO), the implementation of which will contribute to the objectives of the joint initiative (African Union, AfDB, ECA and ILO) in favor of job creation for young people in Africa. The PROJERMO is an extension of the project Young Rural Entrepreneurs (PROJER), financed by the Bank from 2000 to 2007 in Madagascar. The POJER, it should be remembered, has made it possible, despite the difficulties of the beginning, significant achievements in the areas of intra-regional migration, the development of agricultural investment areas and support for business development rural. The PROJERMO aims to consolidate on the one hand the achievements of the PROJER and on the other hand to extend its interventions in other contiguous regions. The project will support the evolution towards an agriculture that better meets the needs and demands of the domestic market, the agri-food industry and external markets. The preparatory activities that are the subject of this PPF support are mainly focused on carrying out technical studies on structural improvements and investments as well as on the environmental and social impacts necessary for the proper formulation of the project. Thus, the interventions to be carried out as part of this support concern preliminary and detailed pre-project studies of hydro-agricultural development and rehabilitation works (tracks, buildings, etc.). These studies as well as the related DAOs will enable the start of activities in the field as soon as the project team is set up. In all, this preparatory phase of PROJERMO should result in the formulation of a good quality project at the entrance scheduled to be presented to the Bank's Board in 2014.  The objective of the project is to improve the income of the target population through support for rural businesses and to contribute to the increase of agricultural production in Madagascar. This support from the PPF will: (i) establish a baseline situation for the rural entrepreneurship project in the Middle West  (ii) develop development proposals for new areas of intervention and development of non-financial support services to agricultural enterprises  (iii) define a strategy for the development of private investment in agriculture and a development plan for three promising agricultural value chains  (iv) to evaluate the economic viability of the proposed investments  (v) to carry out feasibility studies, and ODA and DAO of selected options for hydro-agricultural development, rural roads and other infrastructures  and (v) to carry out an environmental and social impact study of the proposed activities and infrastructures.  The project will mainly benefit the Government of Madagascar and rural entrepreneurs, in order to support the emergence and development of agricultural enterprises in the Middle West region and also to complement the interventions of other donors.

Tunisia - Competitiveness Support Programme I (PAC I). The Competitivity Support Programme, which constitutes a stage in the realization of the objectives of the Tunisian Government’s IXth Plan, has been designed, in pursuance of the reforms, particularly those in the financial sector.  The support programme will improve financing conditions for non-financial economic operators through more effective mobilization and allocation of resources in accordance with market criteria, within an institutional framework consolidated by application of a new set of prudential regulations.  It falls within the continuation of the reforms, and thus benefits from the support of the traditional donors. The programme has five components, namely: (i) Restructuring/modernization of the banking system  (ii) Related reform of public and parastatal enterprises  (iii) Reactivation of the treasury securities market  (iv) Modernization of the financial management instruments  (v) Strengthening of the Insurance Companies and the OPCVMs.  The overall objective of the programme, which spans the 1999–2000 period, is to consolidate the base of a competitive economy that will enable Tunisia to attain a new growth plateau. The programme seeks to make capital allocation more efficient.  Achievement of this objective will be measured by the flexibility level of BCT’s intervention rate in 2000.  Furthermore, in 2000, the entire banking system will be despecialized.  The financial sector will be governed by a new prudential regulation.  The Tunisian Government will be the main beneficiary.

Tunisia - Competitiveness Support Programme II (PAC II). Competitiveness Support Programme II (PAC II) was in keeping with the continuity of the Bank’s operations aimed at supporting the efforts of the Tunisian authorities concerning their strategy for the reform of the economy with a view to its integration into the EuroMediterranean Free Trade Zone further to the signing of the Association Agreement with the European Union (AAEU). PAC II was a follow-up to PAC I, whose comprised 19 measures broken down among the following five components: (i) restructuring/modernization of the Banking system  (ii) related reform of public and parastatal enterprises  (iii) revitalization of the Treasury securities market  (iv) modernization of monetary management instruments  and (v) strengthening of insurance companies and OPCVM (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS)). PAC I was implemented satisfactorily in 2001. In the same way as PAC I, PAC II was designed as a joint programme with a common matrix of measures and disbursement conditions, with the World Bank and the European Union. It comprises 51 measures, including 28 disbursement conditions broken down into four sub-components: (i) the macro-economic framework  (ii) the business and private investment environment  (iii) the consolidation of the insurance and financial sectors  and (iv) ICT sector reform.  PAC II has the overall objective of consolidating the bases of a competitive economy with a view to enabling Tunisia attain a high and sustainable growth rate as a result of maintaining a stable macro-economic framework and improving private and financial sector competitiveness. Its specific objective was to increase the private sector’s contribution to the growth and competitiveness of the economy.  The project will benefit the Government and the Tunisian populatiuon as a whole.

Madagascar - The additional construction works of the Lower Mangoky Irrigation Area Rehabilitaion Project (Supplementary Loan). The Lower Mangoky Irrigation Area Rehabilitation Project (PRPBM) was approved by the Bank on 20 October 1999, and became effective on 28 September 2000. Its completion is scheduled for December 31, 2008. The resources of the supplementary loan will used mainly for the construction of the new water supply structure. The main justification for the supplementary loan lies in the need to sustain the investments already made by the country in the Lower Mangoky Irrigation Area, with the support of ADF, and to thus secure the current output of 35,000 tonnes, which will reach 60,000 tonnes of paddy rice at full development of the project (an additional output of 43,000 tonnes compared to the pre-project situation) for an estimated population of 28,000 inhabitants. The reconstruction of this new water supply structure will help to sustain the abovementioned gains. It will also enable the country to undertake further extensions of the irrigation area, which if developed will contribute to strengthening food security in Madagascar. Activities financed from the supplementary loan will be spread over 3 years.  The sector goal of the project, including the supplementary loan, is to strengthen food security. Its specific objective is to increase rice production and improve productivity.  The project provided substantial support to the farmers and their associations in terms of production and organization. This will be reached an estimated population of 28,000 inhabitants.

Tunisia - Competitiveness Support Programme III (PAC III). Competitiveness Support Programme III (CSP III) follows the pattern of the Bank’s operations to support Tunisia in its desire to attain a strong and sustainable growth, reduce unemployment rate while continuing to open its economy in tune with the international agreements undertaken in this regard. The reforms undertaken previously in the framework of the Competitiveness Support Programme mainly concerned the banking system and capital markets, the private sector, the new communication technologies sector, the insurance sector and the maintenance of a stable macroeconomic framework. CSP III, which pursues the reforms undertaken in these sectors, was conceived with the perfect concurrence of the Tunisian Government and, like previous programmes, it comes at a time in the country’s economic life marked by two decisive deadlines, namely: the discontinuation of the multifibre arrangement in 2005 and the instauration of the free trade area with the European Union in 2008. Its implementation will contribute to ensure the implementation by the Government of economic policies and orientations for private sector development, through support for the maintenance of a stable macroeconomic framework, improving the private sector investment environment and strengthening the financial sector.  The specific objective of the programme is to contribute to the attainment of an average annual growth rate of 5.2% during 2005-2006, by implementing three fundamental and interdependent axis of the Government’s economic policy, aimed at promoting greater private sector participation in the attainment of the investments of the 9th Plan, namely: (i) Maintain a stable and responsive macroeconomic framework, mainly through fiscal consolidation and strengthening of Tunisia’s medium term budgetary framework  (ii) Improve the private sector investment environment and encourage new investment opportunities  (iii) Strengthen the financial sector’s contribution to financing growth by supporting the improvement covering of the banking system’s non-performing loans with provisions and by developing alternative sources of financing, especially capital markets.  The project will benefit the Government and the Tunisian populatiuon as a whole.

Madagascar - Lower Mangoky Area Extension Project. The Bas Mangoky Perimeter Extension Project (PEPBM) is located in the Bas Mangoky perimeter located 240 km north of the Atsimo Andrefana Region. Its implementation will contribute to the improvement of the food security which will have to be translated by the reduction of the index of the hunger of at least 20 in 2019 against 25,4 in 2014. The area to be developed is at the West current developments. This extension zone is currently free of any occupation, with the exception of a few small parcels of negligible areas developed by some residents. The two facilities are separated by Kitombo which is the former bed of the Mangoky River. The expected effects of its implementation are the increase in yield of rice and cape pea, which is expected to be translated mainly by an additional production of 44 000 tonnes of paddy in the Bas Mangoky perimeter. The project is articulated around three components: (i) development of hydroagricultural development that includes all the development work to be done in the extension zone  (ii) enhancement of managed parcels, capacity building and institutional support broken down into eight components encompassing all complementary activities directly affecting Project beneficiaries  (C) Project coordination and management which revolves around cross-cutting activities related to project management and coordination.  The general objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and food insecurity of the rural populations of the South West Region of Madagascar. The specific objectives of the project are the sustainable improvement of agricultural production and the increase of producers' income through improved productivity, access to markets and services.  The Project will directly benefit producers through the increase in their average annual income estimated at 1,500,000 MGA, which will be estimated at 3,614,650 MGA from 2020.

Tunisia - Line of Credit in Support of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises. The proposed project is for an extension of a Line of Credit (LoC) of € 34,8 mn to the Republic of Tunisia (RoT) as an immediate crisis response tool to support the SME sector during the transition. It will be used to support the most vulnerable productive segment of the economy representing more than 90% of its productive capacity. This SME APEX Facility will be implemented and managed by the Central Bank of Tunisia (CBT) to support SMEs via eligible Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs). The loans will be available to existing SMEs and new projects. The Bank also considers Technical Assistance (TA) from the MIC Fund to support the enabling environment at the regulatory level and from FAPA to strengthen eligible financial institutions (FIs) as well as the SME sector. This project fits squarely with the Budget Support Program (BSP) recently approved by the Board as it aims at maintaining and creating employment, further improve the enabling environment and make financing available to entrepreneurs in all governorates in the country.  The project will mobilize significant financial resources for SMEs in Tunisia, helping to alleviate the financial constraints encountered in this transition. It is expected to help SMEs maintaining their workforce, new job creation, improve households’ benefits and government revenue. The objective is also to support access to financing for the entrepreneurs in the regions of the interior of the country, which have long been neglected under the previous regime.  The proceeds of the LoC will be utilized by the RoT to support SMEs in various sectors of the economy which have demonstrated their viability but may require additional funding as the economy is experiencing a slowdown. It is expected that sectors covered will be: agroprocessing, manufacturing, construction, innovative projects including renewable energy, transportation and services. Real estate promoters and hotels will not fall within the eligibility criteria. The LoC is expected to contribute to further strengthen SMEs and SMEs lending practices as a productive segment of the economy.

Nigeria - The Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Project in Oyo and Taraba States. The Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project (UWSSP) for Oyo and Taraba States was identified by the Government as one of the priority projects. The two states and in particular the capitals namely Ibadan for Oyo State and Jalingo for Taraba State were selected based on the very low water coverage (approximately 30%) and their commitments to improve the provision of water and sanitation service to the inhabitants of the two cities. The project covers the high density residential areas as well as peri-urban parts of Ibadan and Jalingo cities. On the whole, its implementation will improve public health and standard of living in the cities and surroundings, increase the investment and operational conditions for industrial and commercial activities in the cities, thereby enhancing opportunities for employment with improved livelihood of the residents of the two cities and their environs. The project will also enhance the performance and sustainability of the water supply and sanitation sector in the two states. The estimated cost of the project is UA 58.82 million, and will be implemented last five years.  The project has two broad objectives: (i) To improve access to safe water supply services in the cities of Ibadan and Jalingo, from the current levels of 25% in Ibadan and 30% in Jalingo to 80% by 2014, through rehabilitation and extension of the existing infrastructure, and to improve sanitation in public places like schools, health centres markets and motor parks  and (ii) To improve sector management, the overall performance and the long-term financial viability of urban water utilities in the two States through institutional and management reforms including tariff increases, capacity building, and adoption of viable public-private partnership (PPP) models.  The project shall benefit about 1.5 million people/residents in the two urban centres of Ibadan and Jalingo with population 1.4 and 0.1 million respectively. The majority of the beneficiary population, about 70%, live in areas that are poorly served by modern water and sanitation infrastructure.

Niger - National Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (NRDWSSP) (Phase II: Second Sub-Programme - 2011-2014). The proposed rural drinking water supply and sanitation (WATSAN) subprogramme operates in all 11 departments of the two regions concerned (Tillabéry and Dosso). These provinces are among the poorest in the country, with a high proportion of the population of 70% for both regions compared to the national average of 60%, below the poverty line. This sub-programme, while part of a process of ongoing consultation with the main donors of the water sector in the country, constitutes the second phase of the Bank's AEPA Initiative in rural Niger. At the same time, it is a full-fledged entity of the country's National Rural Drinking Water and Sanitation Programme for 2020 (PNAEPA). The main expected accomplishments of the subprogramme at the end of the 36-month period foreseen for its implementation are: (i) 9881 new individual latrines for the most vulnerable families  (ii) 9881 washing bins and hand-washing facilities  (iii) 295 new multi-compartment latrines, built in village public infrastructure (schools, health centres and other public places)  (iv) 99 water supply structures and networks  (v) 297 new boreholes equipped with human-powered pumps  (vi) 130 boreholes equipped with human-powered pumps, rehabilitated  (vii) 300 masons trained in latrine construction techniques  (viii) 300 female relays and 150 school teachers trained in hygiene and prevention at the village level  (ix) 99 associations of public water service users (AUSPE) and 427 water point management committees (CGPE) set up, run and trained in the management and maintenance of water points  (x) some 30 private operators supported and trained in the operation and maintenance of complex AEP networks  (xi) 50 artisanal borehole repairers trained and equipped with recovery equipment through pumping equipment contracts  and (xii) training, facilitation and awareness-raising campaigns carried out in nearly 526 localities in the two subprogramme regions. The estimated pre-tax cost of the subprogramme is UA 34.069 million.  Due to the nature of the works put in place, the subprogramme will allow, among other things: (i) improving the availability and quality of drinking water  (ii) reducing the difficulty of carrying water, especially for women  (iii) reducing the cost of water  (iv) reducing the prevalence rate of waterborne diseases  and (v) promoting water-related income-generating activities. Indeed, the community work approach recommended for the construction of family latrines will allow rural artisans to participate fully in the construction of the works.  The beneficiaries of the subprogramme are the rural populations of the 11 departments of the two regions (Tillabéry and Dosso), representing a total of 4.293 million inhabitants out of the country's 15 million.

The draft tender documents are currently being reviewed by the Bank. However, the pre-qualifying contractors is completed. However, the Government has been very slow in implementing the project. ACTION: The Government should speed up the procurement process. The Bank's mission that is scheduled for early March will conclude the review of the tender Documents with the Government.

Niger - Fifth Structural Adjustment Programme. The Fifth Structural Adjustment Program (SAP V) is an extension of SAP IV, which is supported by the African Development Bank Group. At the end of SAP IV’s implementation, it seemed not only that some structural measures such as the privatization of state-owned enterprises and the financial sector reform had been delayed, but more generally, that the large number of measures to be taken exceeded the country’s institutional capacity. This program aims to contribute to sustainable and sustained economic growth for poverty reduction and to promote sustainable development in Niger. The reform measures and the relating performance indicators were defined on the basis of the programme’s two components, namely: (i) improvement of public finance management  and (ii) promoting good governance as well as strengthening monitoring-evaluation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy and the Programme. The first component aims at intensifying domestic resource mobilization and improving the efficacy and efficiency of public expenditure and enhancing the public expenditure programmes aimed at poverty reduction. The second component aims at promoting good governance, strengthening the decentralization and improving monitoring-evaluation of the programmes and the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).  The Overall Programme Goal is to contribute to achieving sustainable economic growth with a view to reducing poverty. The specific programme objectives are: (i) Improvement of public financial management  (ii) Mobilization of resources  (iii) Greater efficacy and efficiency of public expenditure  and (iv) Improvement of the expenditure programmes designed for poverty reduction.  The project should benefit the entire Nigerien economic system as well as the population.

Niger - Decentralization Support Project (PAD). The Decentralization Support Project (PAD) aims to contribute to building the capacities of decentralized and deconcentrated structures in order to promote good governance and foster poverty reduction. The decentralization support project is part of the relaunch of the reform by giving it a new impetus to meet the challenges of poverty, the harmonious and balanced development of the country, grassroots development and local governance. The project falls within the framework of the 4th priority axis of the PRSP relating to the strengthening of institutional capacities, the promotion of good governance and the decentralization of development. The PAD is also based on the achievements of four institutional support projects and the local development support project in the Diffa region financed by the Bank. The project comprises the following three (03) components: (I) improvement of the institutional and regulatory framework for decentralization and support for ownership of the reform by the population, (II) capacity building of technical supervision and decentralized entities, and reduction of resistance factors to the implementation of the reform and (iii) capacity building of the Project Implementation Unit.  The overall goal of the project is to promote local governance and grassroots development in order to enable Niger to fight effectively, within the framework of its Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (SDRP), against poverty and improve the living conditions of its population. The specific objectives of the project contribute to helping the country to relaunch the implementation of the reform by improving the institutional and regulatory framework, reducing the factors of resistance to the transfer of powers from supervision to decentralized entities and strengthening their respective abilities.  The final beneficiary of the project is the population of Niger, in particular the poor populations. The direct beneficiaries of the project include the 50 targeted communes, their executives, councils and staff  the High Commission for State Modernization (HCME), the 8 regions and 36 prefectures dependent on the Ministry of the Interior and Decentralization  all the specialized courts of the country  different traditional chiefdoms and several NGOs and civil society organizations.

PROJET D'AEPA EN MILIEU RURAL DANS LES REGIONS DE MARADI,TAHOUA ET TILLABERI. Le Projet d’approvisionnement en eau potable et d’assainissement en milieu rural dans les régions de Maradi, Tahoua et Tillabéri a été identifié et préparé à partir de l’étude d’un programme d’hydraulique rurale, réalisée en 2004 par un bureau d’études, sur un financement de la Banque. Il s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’Initiative de la Banque pour l’eau et l’assainissement en milieu rural et, de par sa conception, se situe déjà dans le cadre d’une approche programmatique en s’appuyant sur les structures pérennes existantes. Le choix des zones d’intervention du projet se justifie d’abord par le faible accès des populations aux services d'eau potable et d'assainissement dans les régions de Tahoua, Tillabéri et Maradi. En effet, le taux d'accès dans ces trois régions (56%, 45% et 47%) est inférieur à la moyenne nationale qui est de 59%. En outre, ces régions présentent l’indice de pauvreté le plus élevé du pays. Sa réalisation permettra de contribuer à la satisfaction des besoins en infrastructures d’eau et d’assainissement pour environ 800.000 personnes dont 146.000 directement concernés par l’eau potable, 86.000 par l’assainissement familial (environ 14.300 ménages) et la totalité de la population par les ouvrages d’assainissement public. Globalement le projet contribuera à faire passer le taux d’accès à l’eau potable de 56%, 45% et 47% respectivement à Maradi, Tahoua et Tillabéri à 65% en 2009. Il contribuera à hauteur de 2 % à la réalisation des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement en matière d’eau potable milieu rural. En matière d’assainissement, sa contribution à la réalisation des OMD est estimée à 0,4 %.  Le projet a pour but de contribuer à l’amélioration des conditions socio-économiques et sanitaires des populations rurales. Spécifiquement, il a pour objectif de i) améliorer l’accès au service d’alimentation en eau potable et d’assainissement familial et public, dans 3 régions (Maradi Tahoua et Tillabéri)   et ii) contribuer au renforcement du pouvoir de gestion de femmes dans le secteur de l’eau et d l’assainissement.  Dans l’ensemble, les actions du projet toucheront environ 800.000 personnes dans 280 villages parmi les 2507 constituant les trois régions. Parmi cette population, 146.000 individus seront directement concernés par l’eau potable, 86.000 par l’assainissement familial (environ 14.300 ménages) et la totalité par les ouvrages d’assainissement public.

Nigeria - Ibadan Water Supply II Project. The proposed project as a follow up to an earlier project Ibadan Emergency Water Rehabilitation Project approved by the Bank in 1986. The emergency project sought to rehabilitate the existing water supply infrastructure which was in a state of total disrepair to restore it to its original installed capacity of 122 500 m3/d. This second Ibadan Water Supply Project involves the duplication of the main treatment plant for the City which would increase the supply by a further 82,000 m3/d. It is recognized that these duplication works should have been put in place some ten years or so ago. Howerer. The reinforcement and extention of the existing network which will be supplied by a twin trunk rising pipeline to be constructed under the proposed project, would significantly improve the supply to Ibadan, even more so, when the effects of the on-going leak detection and repairs are also taken into account. At the same time the project will extend the coverage by some 20 sq km, reinforcig the existing network and strengthening the institution so that it can operate commercially. The components include the following: i) Supply and Laying of Pipes  ii) Construction of General Civil Engineering works  iii) Provision of Operational Equipement  iv) Provision of Technical Assistance  v) Provision of Engineering Services.  The objectives of the project were to ameliorate the health aspects of the people in the project area resulting in improved social and economic conditions in the City of Ibadan through the provision of increased and reliable potable water supply to more inhabitants by extending the coverage to 54% of the urban area.  The project will have positive social and economic benefits to the State as well as the Nation. It will improve the quality of life of the population of Oyo State through provision of adequate water supply and sanitation in an affordable and sustainable manner. The population of Ibadan as at 1990 estimates is 3.1 million. The improved supply to the area would greatly improve the socio-economic activities of the city's dwellers.

Nigeria - Bauchi Township Water Supply Project. The project is intended to build a water treatement plant at Gubi Dam with a capacity of 45500 cubic meters/day (10MGD) and to distribute potable water to Bauchi town and its environs. Through this project, it will be possible to meet the domestic, industrial, commercial and institutional requirements up to the year 2000. Later, minor additions to the main components of the project would ensure that supply can be gauranteed up to the year 2006/7. The project will also strengthen the institution (BSUUB) and impove its operations through providing technical assistance, trainning of staff and acquiring operational facilities.

Nigeria - Ibadan Emergency Water Supply Project. The proposed project constitutes the first phase of the planned water supply programme for Ibadan which falls in line with the development strategies and priorities of both the Oyo State Government and the GONIR. The prevailing water supply in the city is totally inadequate from both quantity and quality aspects. Industrial development has been restricted due to lack of adequate quantities of water supply. Domestic demands have hardly been met resulting in the extensive use of non-acceptable sources usually located at long distances from housing estates. If implemented, the project would raise the total capacity of the three treatment works from the current 56,000 m3/d to 120,000 m3/d. The second phase, whose designs will be carried out under the Emergency works, will ensure that the total production capacity of 225,000 m3/d would be obtainable from the treatment works. The proposed study would provide medium (10-15 years) and long term (over 15 years) solutions to water supply problems clearly outlining the various options available with associated financial and social implications.

Niger - Gender Equity Reinforcement Projec. The present intervention concerns the Gender Equity Reinforcement Project. It's conceived in a context marked by imbalances to the detriment of women in areas such as education, health, access to resources, social rights, participation, or decision-making. The literacy rate was 10.6% for women compared with 30.4% for men. Although the Nigerian Constitution enshrines the principle of equality, the coexistence of three legal sources (customary law, modern law and religious law) made the situation of women difficult. Finally, women were almost absent from decision-making circles. To correct these imbalances, the Government developed a Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS), which focused on the promotion and development of human resources, particularly women. The Government has also adopted a law on quotas aiming at a target of at least 20% of women in elective offices, 20% in the Government and 25% in public administration. The project is an important contribution to the Government's PRS in promoting gender in Niger, notably its contribution to significant changes in people's behavior and the strengthening of equity. The expected impact of the project was the reduction of gender disparities in the areas of law, education and access to ICTs. The project has three components namely: (i) capacity building, (ii) Improvement of the Legal Framework and Women’s Access to Information and Communication, and (iii) Project Management.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to attaining the millennium development goals as regards “Gender”. The specific objectives are to: (i) contribute to enhancing the capacities for design, planning and management of Gender activities  and (ii) create a social environment that is more conducive to gender equity.  The beneficiaries are several target groups, the first of which concerns opinion leaders, members of the Government and parliamentarians. The second group includes civil society organizations. As for the third group, it's made up of staff from state structures who should benefit from short and long-term training in various fields. Finally, the fourth group concerns the population in general and should benefit from awareness campaigns on human rights, the code of persons and the family, CEDEF (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against women), the concept of gender and different themes, including family planning and harmful traditional practices. The beneficiary population also includes young people from schools and colleges whose adoption of gender-friendly behavior is necessary.

Niger - Fourth Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP IV). The Fourth Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP IV), which is an extension of SAP III, consolidates African Development Fund (ADF)’s contribution to the implementation of the Government’s 2000-2003 Reform Programme. Indeed, despite the efforts made over the first two years (2001 and 2002) of the implementation of the Government’s 2000-2003 Reform Programme, backed by the ADF Third Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP III), the Niger economy continues to be characterized by several internal and external imbalances that diminish the country’s capacity to reduce poverty significantly. SAP IV was therefore conceived in a context where the Government wishes to further strengthen the ongoing public finance reforms and to make growth sustainable, as well as to reduce poverty. The implementation of the program should make it necessary for the Government to undertake the following reforms and measures: i) 44 reforms and measures to promote good governance  ii) 21 reforms and measures to strengthen the social sectors   and iii) 18 reforms and measures to reorganise the financial sector.  SAP IV is intended to promote good governance and to improve access of the poor to basic social services for a sustainable reduction of poverty. The Programme has three specific objectives, namely: (i) promotion of good governance  (ii) strengthening of social sectors  and (iii) reform of the financial sector.  The project should benefit the entire Nigerien economic system as well as the population.

Niger - Domestic Resource Mobilization and Economic and Financial Governance Improvement Support Project (PAMOGEF). The Domestic Resource Mobilization and Economic and Financial Governance Improvement Support Project (PAMOGEF) aims to consolidate the institutional reforms undertaken by the Government of Niger and the gains already achieved, especially with regard to domestic resource mobilization, including in the extractive industries, and improvement of their management. This new institutional support complements the use of other types of instruments based on domestic systems, including the Accelerated Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Program (PASDR), which is currently being implemented. The project includes two operational components, namely (i) improved domestic resource mobilization and extractive sector governance  (ii) support to the improvement of economic programming and budget process  and (iii) a third component related to project management.  The project's overall objective is to contribute to poverty reduction by creating enabling conditions for strong and sustained economic growth through improved domestic resources and efficient public finance management. The project's specific objectives are: (i) strengthening domestic resource mobilization capacity through support to the revision of the related legal and regulatory framework, and building the institutional capacity of the financial authorities and the extractive industries' sector  (ii) improving macroeconomic management  and (iii) enhancing public finance management by modernizing of tools and procedures that will ensure greater consistency between the National Development Strategy and the budget process, on the one hand, promoting transparency and citizen control, on the other.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: (i) the State of Niger, whose resources will be increased and institutional capacity improved, especially for the the departments responsible for economic and financial administration as well as the extractive industries, and (ii) Niger’s populations, which will benefit from the improved efficiency of the public sector and the performance of socio-economic services. Lastly, the private sector will benefit from trade facilitation through a modern and more efficient customs system. In addition, import/export companies will benefit from trade facilitation thanks to a modernized and more efficient customs system.

Tunisia - Small Cities (less than 10,000 inhabitants) Sanitation Programme - Phase I (PAPC-I). The proposed operation is about Phase I of the Small Cities (of less than 10,000 Inhabitants) Sanitation Programme in Tunisia. This programme consists in developing sanitation services (networks, pumping stations and treatment plants) in small towns of less than 10,000 inhabitants. Phase I of the programme concerns 33 towns spread over 19 Governorates countrywide forming part of the priority intervention programme of National Sanitation Authority (ONAS) identified by the techno-economic and institutional study for these small towns, financed by an MIC grant. Its design was based on the priority needs identified by ONAS in its performance contract with the State for 2016-2020. The bulk of towns under the programme lack sanitation and purification facilities. Phase I of the programme is designed to address the health and environmental needs of these 33 towns up to 2030 and will benefit a total population of about 190 000 inhabitants. Its implementation, whose total cost is estimated at EUR 163.3 million (approximately UA 134.8 million), is expected to span 60 months (Q4 2018 – Q4 2023).  The programme will improve the sanitation system connection rate in less-favoured areas, thus improving its basic infrastructure, promote economic development and increase its attractiveness, and lastly improve the quality of life for inhabitants and their natural environment health. It will consist of: (i) development of sanitation infrastructure (primary and secondary networks, transfer networks, pumping stations, and treatment plants) and (ii) capacity building and institutional support.  The programme will benefit a total population of about 190,000 in small towns located in regions that are among the least favoured.

Tunisia - Project to Develop Irrigation Schemes through Value Chain Development. The project to valorise irrigated perimeters through the development of value chains (PVPI-DCV) was designed to support priority agricultural value chains (olive oil, industrial tomato, apples) and contribute to the development of three regions among the less developed of the country, namely Sidi Bouzid (20th), Kairouan (22nd) and Kasserine (23rd) out of 24 regions. It is an investment project that is part of the projects identified in the framework of the Country Strategy Paper of Tunisia. It will support the rehabilitation / extension of irrigated public perimeters (PPI), including infrastructure and storage / mobilization equipment (intake works, pumping station, electric pump, automation, etc.), safety (anti-ram flasks, valves). , etc.), pressurization (recovery station, elevated tanks), transfer (channels and pipes), and water distribution (irrigation terminals, meters, etc.). The total cost of the project, excluding VAT and customs duties, is estimated at 59.708 million Euros (157.629 Million Tunisian Dinars). The components of the project are: (i) rehabilitation of infrastructure and improvement of agricultural productivity as well as valorisation and marketing of products.  The objective of the project is to contribute to improving the income of the populations of the governorates of Kairouan, Kasserine and Sidi Bouzid through the development of agricultural value chains.  The total number of households that will be directly affected by the activities planned under the Project is of the order of 3.558, ie about 20 000 people, 51% of whom are women. A large part of the population of the three targeted regions, estimated at 310,000 people, will indirectly benefit from the expected benefits of the project, notably through improved access to quality agricultural products, benefit sharing from services and agricultural processing activities, as well as activities related to the supply of agricultural inputs.

With this principle, the councils will play a key role in the following activities: (i) providing information on the project to the communities, (ii) outreach activities and sensitization of the populations in the project areas  and (iii) selection of requests for water supply structures, and assessment and approval of the community files.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the socioeconomic and health conditions of the Malian population. Its specific priority objective is to improve drinking water supply and sanitation services in the three targeted regions (Gao, Koulikoro and Ségou). The provision of DWS structures will help to increase: (i) the average access rate to drinking water from 49% to 56% for the targeted populations  and (ii) the average access rate to sanitation from 5% to 7%.  "The implementation of the project will meet the needs of the rural and semi-rural populations in the three targeted regions (Gao, Koulikoro and Ségou). The project will serve approximately 442 000 inhabitants for drinking water, 108 000 persons for access to household sanitation, and 16 500 persons for access to public sanitation.
Several jobs will be created during the work and operation phases.

Tunisia - North-East Road Connectivity Support Project. The North-East Road Connectivity Support Project (PACR) is part of Tunisia's road sub-sector strategy and supports two of the five pillars of the country's Development Strategy Plan for the period 2016-2020. The PACR consists of the construction of a 9 km-long twoway, two-lane (2x2) suburban highway on a new alignment bypassing the city of Bizerte to the southwest. Indeed and in line with the Bizerte Urban Development Master Plan, its implementation will help channel traffic away from the Bizerte city centre and will thus ease traffic congestion on the existing mobile bridge. The project will therefore help to promote intra- and inter-regional trade as well as reduce regional social disparities. Lastly, it will reduce accidents, CO2 emissions, improve the quality of life of the populations and facilitate access to social and economic centres. The total project cost, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at TND 761.72 million, equivalent to EUR 277.29 million. It will be implemented over a period of 5 years.  The project objective is two-fold: (i) improving the competitiveness of the Tunisian economy by addressing the growing demand in terms of transporting goods and people across the urban area of Bizerte, thus helping to ease congestion on access roads to the three industrial areas and the port, and to equalize network loads  and (ii) fostering mobility and trade between the Northern and Eastern regions of the country.  The project will improve the movement of people and goods in the Bizerte and Beja builtup areas, as well as traffic towards Jendouba. Indeed, at the local level, the project will meet the needs of road users crossing the urban area of Bizerte. The project will enable 700 men/months to be recruited for works implementation. It will also enable 100 young people enrolled in work-study programmes, including at least 20 young women, to undertake internships designed to promote their employability.

AMENAG. HYDR-AGR RAS DJEBEL-GALAAT. Le projet vise à réduire les déficits alimentaires dans les principales denrées (céréales, légumes, fruits, viande et lait) en irrigant les périmètres de la Basse Vallée de la Medjerda par l'utilisation des eaux du barrage de Sidi Salem.

Tunisia - Barbara Dam Project. The Barbara dam project answers a pressing need and is in line with the overall objectives of the economic and social development programme of the Tunisian Government, of which the development of agricultural production is one of the principal goals. It fits into the Water Masterplan for the North. The project consists in the construction of a dam-reservoir of a total capcity of 74 million m3  a pumping station followed by a delivery pipe and culvert for transferring water to the Medjerda Wadi basin. Implementation of the works also requires the construction of access roads as well as the carrying out of a programme of resettlement of displaced persons. Water made available through the project will make it possible to maintain and improve the irrigation of 77,000 existing hectares, 20,378 new ha to be established in the same region, implementation of which is to be done in the coming ten years. The water mobilized will also contribute to the improvement of the quality water. As an integral part of the Water Masterplan for the North, the project will also help to make drinking water of better quality accessible to a large population, with all that this entails in terms of its favourable impact on health and living standards, environmental protection, which is definitely more favourable to the development of tourist activities.  Implementation of the Barbara dam responds to three main objectives: (i) it will contribute to the supply of irrigation water  (ii) it will improve th quality of mobilized resources with regard to drinking water and human health, and in terms of agriculture and fruit cultivation. This project should make it possible to mobilise water of good quality and in large quantity, with a view to making up the volume to be taken off by Algeria in the Medjerda and Mellegue Wadis. Giving its low salt content (0.3 g/l) the Barbara water will also contribute to reducing the threat of salinization of the soils of the Medjerda basin areas. The Barbara dam projet will mobilise 80.0 million m3 of water a year.  The project’s direct beneficiaires are the inhabitants of the north of Tunisia who will derive direct benefits, among which may be cited the availability of water in quantity and of quality, improvement of living standards, diversification and increase in monetary income. The irrigation schemes which the project will develop intensively, consistently, and in a sustained manner, will help the farmers in creating groups of producers and various socio-professional associations, initiate some of them to the use of more elaborate production techniques, management of collective equipment, increase knowledge of water supply and irrigated crops  ensure water control and regulate yields.

Mali - Structural Adjustment Program. Le Programme d'ajustement Structurel au Mali a été approuvé le 17 juin 1991. Ce programme a été financé par le fonds africain de développement.

Mali - Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP). The Structural Adjustment Programme is designed in response to the structural imbalances facing Mali. This situation, which was partly the result of extensive state interventionism, has created companies that enjoy rather excessive protection, to the detriment of the development of private initiative. To redress this situation, the Malian Government implemented, for the period 1990-1992, this programme which aims to restore the internal and external balances of the economy by creating an environment that encourages the development of the private sector and by improving the management of public resources. In quantitative terms, the aim is to achieve an annual increase in real GDP of 4% by 1992, to contain the annual inflation rate, and to reduce the current account deficit in the balance of payments, excluding official transfers to 12.8% of GDP. The main components of the program are: (A) restoration of key macroeconomic and financial balances  (B) creation of an economic environment conducive to private sector development  (C) improvement of public resource management  (D) mitigation of the transitional costs of adjustment by taking into account the social dimensions of adjustment.  The objective of the 1990-1992 Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) is to enable Mali to make progress and achieve a sustainable growth rate by 1992, consistent with a stable financial situation and a sustainable balance of payments position.  The main beneficiary of the programme is the Government of Mali.

Tunisia - Jendouba Irrigated Agricultural Development Project. The hydro-agricultural development project in the Jendouba area focuses on an area where natural conditions are particularly favourable for irrigated crops. The project is part of the Government's economic and social development plan, one of the objectives of which in the agricultural sector is to develop production to increase self-sufficiency for essential commodities such as meat, dairy products and sugar. The main benefits expected from the project are the improvement of the farmer's income, increased production and job creation. The main activities planned are: (i) land consolidation and farm delimitation, (ii) construction of irrigation networks and tracks within the perimeter, (iii) a 500 ha soil study and implementation studies of the water intake, (iv) the establishment of a water and soil quality control system and (vi) the creation and material and human strengthening of the project implementation unit. The project directly benefited the rural populations of the Jendouba region.  The project aims at strengthening food security and reducing poverty in rural areas. Its specific objective is the additional production of 45,000 t of sugar beet, 7,782 t of milk, 18,750 t of potatoes, 23,400 t of tomatoes, 311 t of meat and 1,700 t of wheat. The main expected outputs of the project are an irrigation network on 3000 ha, the cultivation of the entire perimeter and a water and soil quality control system.  The project will benefit 441 operators whose income will increase substantially, by four to six times that of the current situation.

Tunisia - The Water Sector Investment Project - Phase II (PISEAU II). The Water Sector Investment Project Phase 2 (PISEAU II) is the second phase of a sector investment project that uses a programme approach to determine annual investments. PISEAU II is involved in the last segments of mobilization of water resources and access to drinking water and is an innovative project that promotes efficient IWRM through the establishment of a National Information System for Water Resources (SINEAU) and participatory management by the GDAs. The project will help improve their living conditions through intensification of irrigated agriculture and better supply of drinking water  it will also create conditions for adaptation to climate change. Implementation of the project will begin in 2009 and cover a five-year period. It will also cover the entire country, using a programme approach based on investment eligibility criteria. It is intended to be a tool for managing water scarcity by anchoring beneficiary participation in the management of resources and infrastructures and promoting appropriate pricing systems. The total project cost is EUR 122.01 million (TD 215.98 million), or EUR101.75 million, net of all taxes.  The main objective of PISEAU II is to promote efficient irrigation management, improve access to drinking water, and enable the Tunisian authorities to take more informed decisions about integrated water resources management (IWRM).  The project’s direct beneficiaries are Tunisia’s rural population spread across all the country’s 24 governorates, especially the most disadvantaged population. The project will help to create IPs on 2,500 ha and improve infrastructures on 20,000 ha, leading to improved performance for 10% of the 220,000 ha of public irrigated areas in Tunisia, and thereby affecting the lives of 67,000 inhabitants. Through the project, some 50,000 additional rural inhabitants will enjoy drinking water supply, representing 16% of the 299,000 rural inhabitants that currently have no pipe water, and thereby contributing to progress towards the target coverage rate of 97% at the end of the 11th Plan (by 2011).

Niger - Programme for Inclusive Growth and Strengthening of Food Security (PACIRSA). The Programme for Inclusive Growth and Strengthening of Food Security (PACIRSA) is a general budget support programme with a total cost of UA 21.56 million. The programme supports the Nigerian government's efforts to improve the efficiency of public finance management and to strengthen the country's resilience to recurrent food crises. PACIRSA aims to help create the conditions for strong, stable growth and to strengthen the country's resilience to food crises, in order to reduce poverty. The overall results expected at the end of the programme's implementation are: (i) improved mobilisation of internal resources  (ii) greater transparency and efficiency in the expenditure chain  (iii) internalisation of the WAEMU Directives on public finance management  (iv) strengthened governance of the agropastoral sector  and (v) improved competitiveness of the agropastoral sectors. It is divided into two components: (i) component A: "Optimising budget policy and management" and (ii) component B: "Strengthening the country's resilience to food crises".  The first objective of PACIRSA is to strengthen public finance management by improving the mobilisation of internal resources with a view to increasing investment in priority sectors, particularly the rural sector, and by improving the efficiency of public expenditure management. The second objective is to strengthen the country's resilience to food crises by improving the governance of the agro-pastoral sector and promoting a business environment conducive to the development of agro-pastoral sectors.  The end beneficiaries of the programme are the people of Niger, especially the rural population which accounts for 79.6% of the total population, representing over 12.5 million people. The intermediate beneficiaries are private economic operators who will enjoy an improved business environment that is conducive to national and international trade as well as public finance management transparency achieved through public procurement reform.

Niger - Financial Reforms and Food Security Support Programme - Phase I. The Financial Reforms and Food Security Support Program (PAREFSA I) has been designed as a series of programs financed through two consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, with a total indicative financing envelope of UA 30 million for the two phases. The programme responds to the major challenges and constraints Niger continues to face in curbing the vulnerability of its economy to external shocks with a view to sustainable and balanced socio-economic development. PAREFSA I is a logical continuation of the previous budget support programme (Programme d'appui à la croissance inclusive et au renforcement de la sécurité alimentaire - PACIRSA 2012-2014), which produced appreciable results. In addition to public finance reforms to increase the mobilisation of internal resources and the efficiency of public spending, PAREFSA I supports reforms in the agropastoral sector with a particular focus on livestock and pastoral hydraulics. Finally, the provision of budgetary support from PAREFSA I resources will also support Niger in its efforts to continue the implementation of the PDES while facing the obligation to strengthen its internal security.  The main objective of the programme is to contribute to creating the conditions for inclusive economic growth in a context of enhanced food security.  The programme will benefit the entire Nigerien population. More than 70% of the active population is engaged in agriculture, livestock, forestry and/or fishing. Thus the direct beneficiaries of the programme are: i) livestock breeders and agro-pastoralists for reforms in the areas of livestock breeding and pastoral hydraulics  ii) farmers in irrigated systems for reforms related to the operationalisation of SPIN and iii) rural women and youth for reforms related to the integration of gender in rural sector policies and strategies. Reforms related to the environment and sustainable development will benefit the entire Nigerien population in terms of improving the living environment and safeguarding natural resources.

Bauchi State Health Project. To improve delivery of primary medical care to the population of Bauchi State through improved medical facilities of specialised referral facilities, access to child immunization, psychiatric treatment, etc.

Niger - Rural, Semi-Urban and Urban Electrification Project. The Rural, Semi-Urban and Urban Electrification Project (PEPERN) is part of a comprehensive program to increase domestic production capacity and electricity access, part of which is funded by other Technical Partners (PTF) included BOAD, IDB, World Bank and AFD. Niger imports more than 70% of its energy consumption  the Bank's intervention will be aimed at reducing this large dependence, which exposes the country to any lesser risk of supply from Nigeria, its major supplier. The project will also help to respond to production shortfalls in the short term while providing immediate solutions to the urgent electricity access needs of the populations in the rural, peri-urban and urban areas concerned. It mainly entails: (i) the construction of electricity infrastructure including the extension of the distribution grid, connecting 46,000 households, and increasing local power capacity by 20 MW, (ii) institutional support through the conducts of feasibility studies for projects in rural areas and (ii) capacity building for energy sector stakeholders. The project will be executed over a four-year period (48 months) from 2017 to 2020.  The PEPERN’s overall objective is to increase the electricity access rate for the communities in Niger’s eight regions. This project aims to support the Government of Niger (GoN) in facing the energy sector's main constraints and challenges by specifically: (i) increasing the current national electricity access rate (11%)  in rural areas, which holds 80% of the population, this number goes down to 1%  (ii) improving the sector's governance characterized by a lack of studies and decision-making tools, and a need for capacity building among stakeholders.  The project will benefit on the one hand, households in rural, semi-urban and urban areas of Niger, namely 46 000 households made up of about 50.3% of women, and on the other hand, stakeholders in the energy sector such as the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, the Energy Regulatory Authority (ARSE), the National Solar Energy Center (CNES), the Agency of Niger for the Promotion of Rural Electrification (ANPER) and the Niger Electricity Company (NIGELEC). Small and medium-sized enterprises, shops, workshops and other processing units (grain mills) will also largely benefit from this power grid extension.

Nigeria - Health Systems Developement Project (Health IV). The Health Systems Development (Health IV) project is initiated because of the need to quickly restore a minimum level of provision of basic health services in the country. The gravity of the Nigeria's poor health status is reflected in the fact that poverty has spread to all socio-economic groups. In addition, Chronic malnutrition (stunting) afflicts nearly half of the poorest children and roughly a third of the children from the higher income households. The focus of the project is on increasing the coverage of quality primary health care to previously under-served LGAs in twelve Nigerian States. The project should therefore finance only public sector goods and services. Project funds should be used to improve the coverage of quality primary health care through improved community access to basic health services in targeted states. In addition, the project should complement a number of African and international initiatives designed to improve resource mobilization for the health sector such as: the UN Global Funds for Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS (GFATM). The project comprises three main components, namely: i) Capacity Strengthening of 35 State Ministries of Health  ii) Support to Primary Health Care in 30 states  and iii) Capacity Strengthening of the Federal Ministry of Health.  The sector goal of the health sector is the attainment of a good standard of health by all Nigerians in order to promote a healthy and productive life. The objective of the project is to: i) strengthen capacities for health systems management at the federal and state levels  and ii) improve the delivery of primary health care services.  The project should benefit primarily poor Nigerians, who are the main users of public health services. The nationwide focus implies that the project should have a potentially important impact in terms of reaching large number of beneficiaries. About three quarters of the population (approximately 90 million people) will benefit from the over all project. The poor, women, children, and vulnerable groups constitute at least 65% of the population. They are the main users of the public health services and therefore the major beneficiaries of this project. Sub project beneficiaries should include primary health care givers who should acquire life saving skills for improved reproductive health care and effective case management of endemic diseases.

Nigeria - Community-Based Poverty Reduction Project (CPRP). The Community Based Poverty Reduction Project (CPRP) is designed to contribute to the reduction of poverty in Nigeria. It’s expected to help promote sustainable livelihoods in Nigeria by building the capacity of the National Planning Commission (NPC), states, local governments and communities and funding demand-driven sub-projects at the level of twelve of Nigeria's poorest states to increase access to social services for the poor, using a fully participatory approach, including areas of primary education, health, agriculture, drinking water, feeder roads, etc. The CPRP should also work to reduce poverty at the national level and accelerate HIV / AIDS and malaria prevention activities, as well as raise awareness of the causal link between these diseases and poverty. The project also plans to build feeder roads, culverts and small bridges using labor-intensive methods. The CPRP has two main components, namely: (i) support to the national planning commission and (ii) support to social fund agencies at the state level.  The overall sectoral goal of the Government is to reduce poverty in Nigeria from about 66 percent in 1999 to 30 percent in 2015. The project objective is to promote and facilitate effective community-based poverty reduction initiatives on a sustainable basis.  The beneficiaries of the project are those living below the poverty line of US $ 1 per day in the twelve targeted states. The focus should be on the needs of poor women, children, youth and vulnerable groups. It should also address small groups in larger communities working on their own behalf and serving the wider community. Among the beneficiaries of the sub-projects are: poor rural people, especially food producers and underemployed rural populations  women living below the poverty line in rural and urban areas, the disabled, and the urban poor.

Niger - Support Project for Resource Mobilization and Implementation of the ESDP 2017-2021. This project aims, for a period of twelve (12) months, to support the Government of Niger in mobilizing the resources necessary for the implementation of its Economic and Social Development Plan (ESDP) 2017-2021 and to strengthen the capacities of the structures whose role is decisive in the execution, coordination and monitoring-evaluation of development projects and programmes. The activities to be financed by this support were determined on the basis of the needs assessment, the priorities established by the Government, the Bank and the support of other TFPs. In consultation with the Government, the amount of the grant will be allocated to cover part of the cost of activities related to the mobilization of stakeholders and resources necessary for the financing of the 2017-2021 ESDP and the strengthening of the capacities of various key actors for its satisfactory implementation. Thus, the proposed intervention will include the following two components: (i) Support to the follow-up of the post round table on the ESDP  and (ii) Human and institutional capacity building for the implementation of the ESDP. The total cost of the project, net of taxes and duties, is estimated at UA 1,000,000.  The main objective of the project is to contribute to the strengthening of institutional capacities for the mobilisation of external resources and the smooth implementation of the ESDP 2017-2021. Specifically, the project aims to: (i) Support the Government in the mobilisation of partners and private investors for the financing of the ESDP  (ii) Strengthen national human and institutional capacities for the implementation of the ESDP  (iii) Strengthen the mechanisms for the implementation and monitoring of the ESDP through a management based on development results.  The main beneficiary is the Government of the Republic of Niger through the Directorate of Investment Financing (DFI) at the Ministry of Planning, under the supervision of the General Secretariat of the Ministry and the Directorate General of Development Programming (DGPD). The expected results are: (i) the resources foreseen at the round table for the financing of the ESDP 2017-2021 are mobilised  (ii) human and institutional capacities for the implementation of the ESDP are strengthened  and (iii) the ESDP is satisfactorily implemented.

Institutional Support Project for Governance, Capacity Building and Poverty Reduction. The Institutional Support for Capacity Building, Governance and Poverty Reduction is designed to support and complement the efforts of Government and Nigeria’s development partners to strengthen the country's capacity for economic management and good governance. It address some of the needs of the population nation-wide regarding good governance in the public sector, the efficient use of public sector resources and optimal delivery of services. The project consists of two components, namely: I) Economic Management Capacity Building  and II) Governance Capacity Building. Economic  Management Capacity Building component supports the strengthening of the Africa and Bilateral Economic Relations Department (ABER) of the Federal Ministry of Finance, and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) process. The Governance Capacity Building component should support strengthening of the Supreme Court, Federal High Court, and the National Assembly.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction by enhancing the capacity for good governance and economic management. Specifically, the project should strengthen the capacity of ABER, the judiciary, the National Assembly, and facilitate the process of preparing the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) by assisting the National Core Team, (NCT) which is charged with the technical responsibility of preparing the PRSP.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are: the Africa and Bilateral Economic Relations Department (ABER) of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the  Supreme Court (SCN), the Federal High Court in Lagos (FHCL) and the National Assembly. The strengthening of the capacity of the Supreme Court (SCN) and the Federal High Court in Lagos should benefit all segments of society. It should speed up the adjudication of cases and reduce the backlog of cases at the SCN and FHCL, thereby improving the administration of justice in Nigeria. Judges, lawyers, Academics, and other stakeholders, such as the Legal Aid Council, the National Judicial Institute, and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies should benefit from the wealth of legal materials in the law libraries of the SCN and FHCL as well as ease of access resulting from their computerisation. Strengthening the administration of justice capacity of the FHCL, which handles the largest proportion of commercial litigation in Nigeria, should enhance the enabling environment for private sector development.

Nigeria - Transport Sector and Economic Governance Reform Program. The Transport Sector and Economic Governance Reform Program (TSEGRP) is designed to assist the Government of Nigeria (GoN) to implement its Transformation Agenda and reform priorities in the areas of Public Financial Management (PFM) reform and road transport sector. It should facilitate better management and financing of the road sector, for both investment and maintenance. The PFM reforms should ensure better overall planning, transparency and accountability of public funds that also serves the infrastructure sector and complement sector reforms. The proposed operation should provide support to the 2013–2014 budgets’ objective of maintaining fiscal stability and continuing emphasis on prioritizing investment in infrastructure development. It should also complement the on-going Government work and expand the practical implementation of the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), and the Treasury Single Account (TSA) in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The expected outcomes of the program are (i) improved fiscal discipline and efficiency/effectiveness of public expenditures  and (ii) improved transport network and maintenance. The program has two components, namely: (i) strengthening public expenditure management  and (ii) improving transport sector governance to enhance accessibility and sustainability of public investment in road infrastructure.  The program’s overarching development objective is to promote inclusive economic growth through strengthening road transport sector governance and greater transparency and accountability of public financial management. The operational policy objective is to improve transparency and accountability in managing public resources, and increase public spending in road infrastructure development essential for inclusive growth.  The direct beneficiaries of the programme are Nigeria’s key public institutions of PFM responsible for fiduciary control, and ministries responsible for the delivery of the road transport infrastructure development. The indirect beneficiaries are the population of Nigeria in general, who should benefit from better public financial management and improved fiscal space for infrastructure.

Niger - Tamaske-Tahoua and Tamaske-Mararraba Roads Development Project. The proposed project is in line with Phase 2 of the Niger Government’s Renaissance Programme and the Economic and Social Development Programme (PDES) 2017-2021, which operationalises the former. It is also one of the landmark projects and programmes of the National Transport Strategy (SNT, 2011-2025) selected to strengthen and preserve the national road heritage and support the productive sectors of the national economy. The project, to cost UA 29.46 million in total, concerns: (i) the development and asphalting of the Tamaské-Tahoua road section on a linear distance of 35 km via the Kalfou-Kolloma stretch  and (ii) the asphalting on a linear distance of 30 km of the Tamaské-Mararraba stretch, which is the unpaved portion of the Madaoua-Bouza-Keita-Tamaské-Tahoua road. This second stretch is part of the Madaoua-Tahoua road that the Bank had financed as part of the Tibiri-Dakoro and MadaouaTahoua Road Project. Kolloma town is located 10 km from Tahoua, at the western end of the project road, on National Road 25 (RN25), which links the west and south of the country to Agadez region. By virtue of its location and characteristics, this project will contribute to building resilience in a region that, although having high economic potential, sustains major factors of fragility. It will open up several localities in Tahoua region with high agro-pastoral potential, thereby contributing to revitalising the local economy and strengthening the access of the vulnerable and poor (particularly young people and women) to basic social services and economic opportunities. The project will also help to interconnect RN1 and RTA (Tahoua-Arlit Road), two important roads of the classified road network.  The project’s overall objective is to facilitate national and regional level trade through the accessibility of the Madaoua, Bouza and Keita Divisions and Tahoua Region. Specifically, the project aims to improve the service level of the Tamaské-Kalfou-Kolloma road, including the Tamaské Mararraba section, which will help to develop the agricultural potential of Tahoua Region and facilitate access to factors of production and basic social services. By fostering the creation of job opportunities and improving income, the project will help to build resilience in the local population of its impact area, especially the poor, women and young people. Since it offers alternatives to migration mostly to the region’s very young population, the project will also contribute to reduce migration.  The project’s potential beneficiaries are the Keita and Tahoua Divisions, including Tamaské and Kalfou councils and Tahoua I sub-divisional council, serving a total population of 400,000 people. At completion, the project will have positive leverage on the local population, particularly women and young people, in terms of job opportunities, higher income, and enhanced access to basic social services (health centres, schools, markets and other facilities developed). Consequently, these will contribute to building resilience among the vulnerable and poor segments of the population.

Niger - Africa Disaster Risks Financing Programme (ADRiFi). The proposed operation relates to the award of UA 4 million from African Development Fund (ADF) resources to Niger for implementation of the Africa Disaster Risk Financing Programme (ADRiFi) in that country. This is a technical and institutional support operation aimed at strengthening Niger's resilience and response to drought-related disasters. ADRiFi to be implemented from 2020 to 2023 is consistent with Niger's National Strategy for Food Security, Nutrition and Sustainable Agricultural Development titled the “Nigeriens feeding Nigeriens Initiative” (I3N) whose ultimate objective is “zero hunger” in Niger. The aim is to strengthen Niger’s resilience and response to climate shocks by improving disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change. To this end, ADRiFi Niger will provide technical and financial support to the Government of Niger in two key areas: (i) strengthening of Niger's capacity to assess drought risks, prevent drought-related food crises and develop contingency plans  and (ii) transfer of sovereign risk by purchasing insurance against drought-related risks from African Risk Capacity (ARC). The Niger project is the fifth to be approved under ADRiFi, after those of The Gambia, Madagascar, Zimbabwe and Mauritania.  This country project in Niger is part of the ADRiFi programme whose overall objective is to strengthen resilience and response to climate shocks by improving disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change in the AfDB’s Regional Member Countries (RMCs). The specific objectives of the ADRiFi Niger programme are to: (i) strengthen Niger's capacity to assess the risks and costs associated with climatological disasters, particularly drought, and develop prevention and management measures at national and sub-national levels  (ii) promote disaster risk coverage through parametric insurance, to ensure the availability of emergency funds for prompt assistance to vulnerable communities in the event of a disaster.  The direct beneficiaries of the ADRiFi programme are the State of Niger, mainly through assistance with the payment of its drought risk insurance premium, and the decentralized services of the DNPGCA at the regional level. Vulnerable communities and small farmers are the indirect beneficiaries of the programme. Approximately six broad categories of vulnerable groups are considered, namely: (i) small-scale farmers with small farms  (ii) small-scale herders with few animals  (iii) nomadic agro-pastoralists and pastoralists who are settling down but have neither enough animal products to sell nor arable land to cultivate  (iv) pregnant women and nursing mothers  (v) large households  (vi) female farmers whose agricultural productivity is impeded by household responsibilities.

Nigeria - Anambra/Enugu/Ebonyi States Rural Infrastructures Project. The proposed project is in pursuance of the Government’s policy of rising the standard of living of the rural areas through development of viable infrastructures and social amenities in the hinterland, in order to attract industries, which have hitherto tended to concentrate in the metropolitan areas, and to reverse the rural-urban migration of population. The project will provide about 80% of Anambra State rural population with continuous clean water supply from 208 schemes. Each scheme will produce an average of 750 cubic meter per day with 8 - 10 hours of operation. The project will also provide 120 towns/communities in the rural areas of Anambra State thereby considerably improving infrastructure in line with both the state’s and the Federal Government’s policy of emphasizing and giving priority to rural electrification. The availability of electric power in the rural areas should spur a marked increase in the sprouting of small scale industries thereby creating more employment opportunities as well as minimizing the rural-urban drift. The project as conceived will be composed of three components as follows: (i) Rural Water Supply  (ii) Rural Electricity  (iii) Industrial Estates.  The objective of the project is to promote rapid economic development in the Anambra/Enugu States through the provision of basic infrastructure in the form of water supply and electricity and through the establishment of industries in the rural areas where 75% of the population dwell.  The project beneficiaries are the populations of Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi States.

Niger - Project to Strengthen Resilience of Rural Communities to Food and Nutrition Insecurity in Niger (PRECIS). The Project to Strengthen Resilience of Rural Communities to Food and Nutrition Insecurity in Niger (PRECIS) is an investment operation that is in line with a programmatic approach co-financed from various resources including those of TSF, OFID, GEF, GCF and IFAD. PRECIS is also in line with the foundations of the 3N (Nigeriens Nourish Nigeriens) Initiative, which aims to protect the people of Niger from hunger and malnutrition, in the long term, and to create conditions enabling them to participate fully in national production and improve their income. It will support small-scale producers by removing production and marketing constraints in the cereal, market gardening, poultry and small livestock production sub-sectors, through two technical components that will have the following effects: (i) diversify production, increase yields and the capacity to adapt to external shocks, particularly climatic shocks, as well as improve the nutrition security of rural producers (including women and young people) and (ii) enhance the value of agro-sylvo-pastoral production surpluses through increased marketing on semi-whole sale markets and the promotion of agricultural entrepreneurship with sustainable integration into the local, regional and national economy. The overall programme will be implemented over a six-year period for a total sum of UA 147.80 million (Bank financing will cover a five-year period). The Bank's contribution to the project financing will amount to UA 25.859 million, provided in the form of a grant from the Transition Support Facility (TSF). More specifically, the Bank's financing will be earmarked for the "water harnessing" and "agricultural entrepreneurship" components and will be incorporated into the operational mechanism of the IFAD-funded Family Farming Development Programme (ProDAF), which will be strengthened. In the context of the response to post-COVID-19, the project plans to carry out a short-and medium-term emergency programme to help people affected by the disease who were obliged to deplete their stocks and savings. This operation will restore the productive base of farmers in the project area who have been severely hit by the pandemic.  The overall objective of PRECIS is to sustainably improve the food and nutrition security of rural households and strengthen their resilience to climate shocks and natural resource degradation. The specific development objectives of the project are to increase rural household incomes, improve livelihoods and lives, and the socio-economic integration of young people (men and women) into productive rural occupations.  In its entirety, PRECIS covers 186 municipalities located in the regions of Tahoua, Maradi and Zinder and will directly affect nearly 210,000 households, or approximately 1,470,000 people. The population of the neighbouring areas should also benefit indirectly from the momentum created by the Economic Development Pole (PDE) approach. The main achievements expected from PRECIS include: (i) increased income for some 210,000 households, or approximately 1,470,000 persons  (ii) the building of 117 water harnessing structures  (iii) the creation/strengthening of 30,040 Rural Young Enterprises (RYEs), including at least 30% owned by women  (iv) direct support for 35,000 households in the form of nutrition education,benefiting 245,000 persons  (v) the opening of 660 literacy centres to build the capacity of 33,000 household members  (vi) the strengthening/consolidation of 2,080 producer organisations/groups to improve their technical and management capacity  (vii) the creation/consolidation of approximately 45,060 direct jobs in rural areas  (viii) the training of at least 33,000 beneficiaries in the various themes related to climate change adaptation and the management and promotion of micro-enterprises (ix) the construction of 9 semi-whole sale markets and 18 operational collection centres  (x) the setting up of 10 operational farmers' houses offering input and production equipment supply services to family farmers  (xi) the rehabilitation of 348 km of roads linking production areas to collection centres and semi-whole sale markets  and (xii) enhancement, in the short and long term, ofthe resilience of communities inthe target areas enabling them to cope with the effects of COVID-19 and other natural and health shocks in the future.

Nigeria - Inclusive Basic Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Program – Rebuilding the North East for Shared Prosperity. The Inclusive Basic Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Program (IBSDLEIP) is part of the Federal Government of Nigeria’s efforts to respond to the Northeast States' emergency transition, recovery and peace restoration. This program supports the implementation of the Buhari Plan, a strategic and peace building program aimed at stopping the devastating effects of Boko Haram's seven years of destructive insurgency. IBSDLEIP is a multi sectoral program which focuses on the intermediate and long-term components (12-60 months) of the Buhari Plan. The program focuses on selectivity, integration and includes three key components, including: (i) delivery of services promoting the restoration of basic social services, access to and use of these services in the areas of health, education, water and sanitation, and nutritional support  (ii) economic recovery  and (iii) program management and institutional strengthening.  The program’s development goal is to contribute to reduce poverty and vulnerability in Nigeria in the context of the Northeast emergency transition, recovery and peacebuilding framework. Its specific objective is to improve the quality of life by increasing access of the poor and vulnerable segments of the populations to basic social services in water, sanitation, hygiene, health and education, as well as restoring livelihoods and strengthening food security and safety nets in the affected States in the Northeast.  The target population that will directly benefit from this program will mainly come from the most vulnerable groups, including the youth and women, with a special attention to poor rural populations in the local communities affected by the insurgency and vulnerable households (IDPs) returning to their communities. An estimated 14 million affected persons, including about 2.3 million internally displaced persons (including 53% women and 57% children), are expected to directly benefit from the delivery of basis services in health and nutrition, education, water supply and sanitation. More than 9,000 IDPs and vulnerable household heads will receive direct assistance to support their economic reintegration and their livelihoods  2,032 SMEs (including 79% women) will be targeted to support them in setting-up and expanding their activities  2,900 craftmen and construction mechanics working in the informal sector will be supported to enhance their quality and productivity, and 2,000 unskilled youth will be trained in economic skills conducive to employment and job creation.

Niger - Vocational and Technical Education Development Support Project (PADEFPT) - supplementary loan. The proposed supplementary loan comes in the wake of a previous operation (Vocational and Technical Education Development Support Project, PADEFPT), financed by the Bank to the tune of UA 26.91 million, which was approved on 15 December 2010. The original project is in line with the Bank's vision to improve the people's living conditions and reflects the priorities of the Government of Niger in terms of skills development and youth employability. It was designed to respond to the new socio-economic opportunities in Niger, marked by the exploitation of uranium and oil deposits and the completion of the country's major projects, notably the Kandadji Dam, the Niamey-Cotonou Railway and the Dosso Dry Port. The PADEFPT project priority objective is to increase the people's access to quality vocational and technical education and training. The ambition of the Government of Niger is to raise this ratio to 40% in 2021 from 25% in 2016. To date, almost all the activities planned under PADEFPT have been carried out. The main activity remaining is the completion of the infrastructure and equipment of the Diffa Technology High School (LTD). The supplementary loan amounts to UA 4.64 million, bringing the new total cost of the PADEFPT project to UA 31.55 million. The project will consolidate the Bank's presence in the TVET sub-sector, strengthen its activities in the area of education and improve the quality of the training provided. The Bank's intervention will also help to improve the sustainability of investments (arrangements to ensure the upkeep and maintenance of the TVET laboratory and workshop equipment). The project will enable the Republic of Niger to have a sub-sector that offers new opportunities to access quality TVET of proven relevance. It will ultimately help to increase the proportion of TVET in the country's education system.  The overall objective of the original project (PADEFPT) is to increase access to quality vocational and technical education and training. More specifically, the implementation of this project will strengthen the objectives of the original project, namely: (i) reduce the country's TVET deficit  (ii) increase the rate of access to quality TVET in the country  and (iii) develop human capital commensurate with the country's opportunities. Ultimately, it will make it possible to operationalise the Diffa Technology High School (LTD), one of the project's flagship achievements.  The beneficiaries targeted by the project are lower secondary school pupils, of whom there are around 185 000, and those aspiring to BEP and CAP estimated at around 1 800. Graduates of technical, vocational and scientific high schools estimated at around 500 per year are added to the above number indicated in the framework of the support that will be provided to the IUT of Maradi and Zinder. In the medium and long term, companies working in the industrial sectors will benefit from a more qualified and competent workforce. In this way, the project will contribute to economic growth and the improvement of the quality of life of the population.

Niger - Integrated Project for Opening Up the Hamdara-WachaDungass- Nigeria Border Cross-Border Production Areas (PIDZT). The project seeks to develop a 110-km road linking inter-State zones and open up areas with high agro-sylvo-pastoral potential. It is designed using an integrated approach and also to enhance the region’s wealth and opportunities. This will strengthen its impact on development, build the resilience of the population, and help transform the rural environment thanks to the resulting growth. The project comprises: (A) the development of the Hamdara-Wacha-Dungass-Nigerian Border Road, including environmental protection measures  (B) related works, particularly the rehabilitation/construction of socio-economic infrastructure, the development of 150 km related rural roads and 5 km roads in Dungass town, support for agro-pastoral value chains (construction of farmers’ houses and livestock vaccination parks, establishment of dairy units, etc.) and support for women and young people  (C) institutional support and project management.  The project’s overall objective is to: (i) improve the country's internal and external accessibility  and (ii) increase sub-regional trade, while contributing to the transformation of rural areas.

It will involve several socio-professional stakeholders, particularly farmers, agro-pastoralists, pastoralists, traders, transporters, and crafts men and women, in addition to local communities and development institutions, etc.

Niger - Project to support the development of a strategy and a national action plan for decent employment for young people in the agriculture and agri-food sectors in Niger. The proposed project supports the development of a strategy and a national action plan for decent youth employment in the agricultural and agri-food sectors in Niger (PAJEJ2A). The project aims to promote job creation in the agricultural and agri-food sectors in the country. The Bank will support the Government of Niger in its efforts to boost youth employment in the agricultural and agri-food sector and play a strategic role in national consultations on this issue in Niger. The project has 4 components: (i) Elaboration and popularisation of a strategy and a national action plan for youth employment in the agricultural and agri-food sector in Niger  (ii) Capacity building of actors and structures involved in the implementation of the strategy  (iii) Mobilisation of resources necessary for the implementation of the NAP and the scaling up of the COE  (iv) Operation of the Project Management Unit. This assistance is expected to contribute to the reduction of the youth unemployment rate. The total cost of the project, net of taxes and duties, is estimated at UA 1,000,000.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the effectiveness of policies for the promotion of employment of young men and women in the agricultural and agri-food sectors in Niger through (i) the elaboration of a national strategy integrating the gender theme and its action plan in this field, (ii) the contribution to the mobilization of the necessary resources for the implementation of the action plan, and (iii) the reinforcement of the capacities of the actors and the structures involved in the implementation of the strategy.  The targeted beneficiaries are: the Government of Niger, the Ministry of Agriculture/General Secretariat/Agricultural Policy Support Unit (USPA), young men and women entrepreneurs in the agribusiness sector.

Niger – Food Crisis Response and Emergency Support Programme. The proposed emergency programme is a grant of up to UA 4,000,000 to the Republic of Niger, from non-allocated resources of TSF (Pillar II), in accordance with the African Facility, to assist the population affected by soaring prices and falling food production. The programme proposes to make up for food deficits by supporting irrigated crops with a high market value and appreciable nutritional qualities. It has three (3) components: (i) Improving access to certified seeds and advisory support  (ii) Improving access to fertilizer  (iii) Improved governance and implementation of public policies in the agricultural sector. By providing farmers with improved seeds and fertilisers, the support will enable households to have crops for their food needs. By targeting crops with high market value, such as cowpeas, maize, rice, wheat and potatoes, the emergency support offers households the possibility of selling part of the production to cover their total food needs and thus obtain new income. The production of 45,000 tons of agricultural products will make it possible to increase the supply of food and will undoubtedly contribute to stabilising the prices of these products. In the medium and long term, reforms which will be undertaken will make it possible to establish a sustainable input supply system.  The objective of this operation is to contribute to the increase in food production and to the security of the country's population against escalating food prices following the war in Ukraine.  Beneficiaries will be targeted by MAG's decentralised technical services in all regions of Niger. About 88,881 households, or about 622 000 peoples, will receive certified seeds and have access to seeds and subsidised fertilizer in the regions of Agadez, Diffa, Dosso, Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder. A 30% quota will be given to vulnerable land users (women, people with disabilities, youths, displaced persons, etc.).

Niger - Financial Sector Deepening and Financial Inclusion Project in Niger (PASFIF). The Financial Sector Deepening and Financial Inclusion Project in Niger (PASFIF) was designed because of the need to support Niger in the process of modernising its economy and creating structural conditions for strong, sustainable, inclusive and diversified economic growth. The project aims to achieve structural transformation of the credit market in Niger by proposing medium, and long-term financing (+5-10-20 years) to financial system actors by significantly improving financial inclusion and green/climate finance mobilisation capacity nationwide. Its expected outcomes include (i) improved mobilisation of long-term resources and green funds  (ii) improved financial inclusion  and (iii) enhanced job creation. PASFIF has three complementary components: (i) deepening of long-term financing and increased mobilisation of green funds through capitalisation and capacity building of the Inclusive Finance Development Fund (FDIF)  (ii) support for the digital financial inclusion of the population  and (iii) project management.  The project’s development objective is to ensure more effective long-term resource mobilisation for Financial Service Providers (FSP) in Niger and improve the financial inclusion of vulnerable segments of the population. The specific objectives are as follows: a) build the technical and operational capacity of DFS to develop a responsible, efficient and transparent digital payment ecosystem while focusing on a reduction in costs paid by users  b) strengthen mechanisms that will boost the mobilisation of domestic savings and long-term resources including those from climate financing to ensure appropriate financing of the national economy and vulnerable communities  and c) improve the general public’s access to financial services while focusing on SMEs, women, youth and rural communities.  The direct beneficiary is the Government of Niger, through SE-SNFI, which is FDIF’s technical secretariat, the operational and financial capacity of which will be strengthened. The Microfinance Sector Regulatory Authority (ARSM) and local actors responsible for financial sector supervision will also benefit from the capacity-building programmes. As regards other private sector beneficiaries, FDIF, as a result of its capital increase, will thus be able to improve FSP access to long-term resources, including, especially DFS, non-banking institutions, insurance companies, banks and FinTech as part of the implementation of the National Inclusive Financing Strategy (SNFI 2019-2023). However, the local populations are the project’s end beneficiaries insofar as its implementation entails the conduct of financial awareness raising and education campaigns and will contribute to the development of innovative digital financial products and services adapted to the needs of disadvantaged segments of the population, in particular women, youth, MSMEs and rural communities.

Niger - Desert to Power Initiative - Project for the Development of Solar Power Plants and Improvement of Access to Electricity (RANAA). RANA is a flagship project of the Desert to Power Initiative in the country, the priorities of which were set out in the national roadmap approved in 2020. It is consistent with the Bank’s CSP 2018-2022 and sector policies detailed above, as well as with Niger’s national priorities. The RANA project will not only increase electrical infrastructure as envisaged but also make it possible inter alia to conduct studies essential for preparing future sector operations and mobilizing the necessary financing from the donor community in Niger. These studies concern in particular the construction of a solar power plant in the central part of the country and the hybridisation of the SONICHAR thermal plant. Conditions will be created for effectively supporting the country’s energy transition. The project also concerns the operational framework for the deployment of solar cookers, an alternative clean cooking technology developed locally in Niger. The total cost of the project, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 120.98 million, of which 87% is in foreign exchange and 13% in local currency. It will span a period of 5 years, from January 2023 to December 2027.  The project development objective is to contribute to increasing electricity production from renewable sources and improve sustainable access to modern energy for the people of Niger. RANA project will have a dual impact: (i) increased capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources  and (ii) the population’s improved access to modern energy services. The expected outcomes are: (i) solar-based electricity generation capacity is increased  (ii) household access to electricity via the grid and off-grid systems is improved  (iii) the carbon footprint of electricity production is reduced  and (iv) jobs are created.  The project area covers all eight (8) regions of the country, including 17 urban centres (all regional capitals, including Niamey) where the electricity network will be extended, 186 rural localities to be connected to the NIGELEC electricity network and 12 villages electrified by mini-grids. The project’s main beneficiaries are the Government, NIGELEC and about 750,000 people (more than 45% of them rural dwellers) who will have access to electricity, 52% of them women. It is estimated that roughly 30,000 to 75,000 extremely vulnerable people will have access to electricity through the multi-purpose platforms, for production and social uses. Other direct beneficiaries are schools, health centres, small businesses, handicrafts and learning centres located in the project intervention areas.

Niger - Project to support Resilient Drinking Water and Sanitation Services in Rural Areas in Maradi, Tahoua, Tillaberi and Zinder Regions (PASEPAR-MR). This project was identified in Niger during the implementation of the Partnership Programme between the African Water Facility (AWF), the Nordic Development Fund (NDF), and the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark (GoDk) in 5 Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger) and in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia) and under the African Development Fund operations in Niger/ADF-15. The project seeks to improve the living and health conditions of the rural population in 33 priority municipalities in Tahoua and Zinder region, prevent the spread of COVID-19 by helping beneficiary communities to improve access to sustainable water, hygiene, and sanitation services, and build the climate resilience of the rural water and sanitation subsector. The project also includes studies for an investment project for 150 water systems in Tahoua, Zinder, Maradi and Tillabéri regions. With an implementation period of 36 months, the total project cost stands at EUR 7,640,590 or UA 6,220,800.  The project’s development objective is to improve access for the rural, poor, and vulnerable populations of Tahoua, Zinder, Maradi and Tillabéri regions to sustainable drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services in support of post-COVID-19 prevention and recovery efforts and build the climate resilience of the rural water and sanitation subsector.The specific objectives of the project are to (i) strengthen and improve people's access to sustainable climate-resilient drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services and reduce open defecation using the municipal end-open-defecation approach  (ii) conduct feasibility studies and prepare implementation files for funding a new climate-resilient DWS investment project in rural areas  (iii) develop tools for mainstreaming climate resilience and gender in the RDWSS subsector  and (iv) build the capacity of RDWSS subsector actors in sustainable management of drinking water and sanitation infrastructure, climate resilience, and hygiene behaviour change, particularly COVID-19 and waterrelated diseases.  The direct project beneficiaries are estimated at 600,000 people (at least 50% women) including 40,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) for immediate interventions, and about 1,500,000 people (50% women) after the investment project is completed. The choice of the project area was guided by the priority needs of the population, the production capacity of existing boreholes, and the need to consolidate achievements and extend previous Bank operations.

Nigeria - Nigeria Electrification Project. The Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP) is a nationwide initiative aimed at delivering energy access to un- and underserved communities in the country. The project supports the Federal Government of Nigeria’s (FGN) goal to increase electricity access across the country as defined in the national development agenda. It will provide electricity to households, small-to-medium-sized enterprises, and public institutions in a least-cost and timely manner through off- and mini-grid solutions. The Project will contribute to: (i) more than 500,000 people obtaining access to electricity  (ii) approximately 76.5 MW in increased installed power generation capacity  (iii) eight universities obtaining access to reliable sources of energy  (iv) 20,000 Micro-Small and Medium- sized Enterprises (MSMEs) supported/supplied with productive use appliances and equipment  and (iv) the avoidance of 1.69 million tons of CO2 emissions. It has four main components, namely: 1) Mini-grid systems installed in 250 sites  2) 24,500 productive use solar PV appliances installed  3) Mini-grid systems installed in eight federal universities  and 4) Institutional capacity strengthening provided to REA and ecosystem.  NEP’s objective is to provide over 500,000 people with access to affordable sources of electricity. The project specifically aims to promote technologies and business models that are emerging in Nigeria. NEP aims to support the acceleration of Nigeria’s mini-grid and off-grid sector and facilitate the entry of new market participants, especially the private sector. Its implementation will contribute to catalyze the development in the off and mini-grid particularly the selected areas where energy access is a challenge.  Over 600,000 people, approximately 100,000 households, 70,000 MSMEs, and eight universities will receive new or improved access to electricity services as a result of the project. The project will create an enabling environment for private sector involvement. Women across all beneficiary groups will receive increased opportunities through a range of integrated activities including collection of sex-disaggregated data, gender-targeted marketing.

Niger - Project to support climate-change-resilient drinking water and sanitation services in Niamey and Tillaberi (PASEPA). The development of the drinking water and sanitation (WATSAN) sub-sector in Niger is based on the Politique et stratégies pour l'eau et l'assainissement of 1999 and the Plan d'Action National de Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau (PANGIRE) adopted in 2017. The implementation of these policy and strategy documents has led to major reforms, including the development of public-private partnerships in urban water supply, with the creation of two companies: Société de Patrimoine des Eaux du Niger (SPEN), a public company in charge of infrastructure, and Société d'Exploitation des Eaux du Niger (SEEN), a private operator responsible for running drinking water networks in urban areas and in the 55 centers conceded to SPEN, through a leasing contract. In addition, several planning and programming tools were adopted, such as the Integrated Platform for Water Security in Niger (PISEN) program, which aims to overcome the challenges of integrating fragility and climate resilience into the WATSAN sub-sector, and the PROSEHA water, hygiene and sanitation sector program, which aims to provide sustainable access to drinking water and sanitation for all by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The project's development objective is to improve the living conditions and climatic resilience of poor and vulnerable urban populations in three districts of the city of Niamey and in the Tillabéry region.  To this end, the project is structured around three components: (i) immediate priority interventions to extend/rehabilitate the water supply network and strengthen resilient sanitation facilities in the city of Niamey, (ii) preparation studies for an investment project in the Tillabéry region and the development of tools for integrating climate resilience into WATSAN, (iii) capacity building and project management.  The direct beneficiaries are the poor and vulnerable urban populations of the three districts of Niamey's Commune II (Koara Tagui, Dan Zama Koara and Banifandou), the Commune II mayor's office, and the populations of Say, Torodi, Makalondi, Tapoa and Tamou in the Tillabéry region. Other beneficiaries of the project are local authorities (communes), NGOs, youth and women's associations and government departments in the Tillabéry region. In the short term, the beneficiary population will be around 12,500 people (including 52% women and 109 internally displaced persons) in the three districts of Niamey's Commune II. Hygiene and sanitation conditions will be improved for around 1,500 people, 52% of whom will be women, and for over 1,000 schoolchildren. Around 3,300 people (including at least 52% women) in Commune II will be educated and sensitized to change their behavior with regard to water, hygiene and sanitation. Nearly a thousand women and girls will benefit from awareness-raising and information on menstrual hygiene, as well as social (family planning, GBV) and technical (leadership, negotiation, networking) training. A gender action plan is presented in Appendix 6. In the medium term, if the funding for the new project has been mobilized and the investments made, the total beneficiary population will be much higher, in the region of 100,000 people, at least 50% of whom will be women.

Nigeria - Ebonyi State Ring Road Project. The Ebonyi State Ring Road Project aims to provide improved and sustainable access to economic opportunities and social services, and to enhance the capacity of relevant government institutions to deliver development targets and subsequently, to enhance the socio-economic development of the State.

Madagascar - Mid-West Nascent Rural Businesses Project. The Mid-West Nascent Rural Enterprises Project (PROJERMO), located in the Bongolava and Amoron'i Mania regions of Madagascar, has been identified as a major operation for reducing the country's food insecurity and fragility. The PROJERMO focuses on the establishment of young rural enterprises in the fields of activities and trades related to the production, processing, marketing of agricultural products and the development and maintenance of hydro-agricultural infrastructure, areas in which the Bank has a long experience. In concrete terms, the planned interventions should enable (i) the installation of 500 young rural enterprises, 40% of which will be women's enterprises, in occupations covering the entire agricultural value chain (production, processing and marketing of agricultural products) as well as (ii) the irrigated development of 2171 ha of lowlands for the benefit of indigenous people. The project will be executed over 6 years at a total cost of UA 27.581 million excluding taxes and customs. Its implementation will contribute to improving food security, reducing the precariousness of youth jobs in Madagascar, strengthening inclusion for women, boosting the local and regional economy in the perspective of develop growth poles while taking into account the main factors of fragility at national and local level.  The overall goal of PROJERMO is to increase agricultural productivity and production in order to help improve food security and reduce poverty. More specifically, the project will enhance agribusiness through establishing in its area, an attractive and conducive environment to the development of a dynamic promotion system of nascent rural enterprises and entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector and related services, through the development of agricultural investment zones (construction of irrigation networks and socio-economic infrastructure) and facilitating access to financial and nonfinancial services needed to sustain enterprise maturity.  The Project will directly benefit at least 500 new enterprises (at least 40% of them headed by women) and the entire population of the municipalities concerned estimated at 186 366 inhabitants (51% of them women). Above all, the whole country will benefit from increased agricultural production and food security. The project will also generate 25,000 direct and indirect jobs annually.

Comoros - The Institutional Capacity Building Project (ICBP). The Institutional Capacity Building Project (ICBP) is designed for the purpose of institutional capacity building, particularly improvement of public resource management.

Comoros - Capacity Building Project to Support the Private Sector (CBPSP). The Private Sector Capacity -Building Support Project (PRCSP) is an institutional support project that aims to contribute to sustained economic growth through a dynamic private sector. It was designed prior to the adoption of Comoros' Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD) 2015-2019, and contributed to the implementation of the first of the 4 strategic axes of this strategy  namely "Acceleration, diversification and sustainability of growth". It is a project with a total cost of UA 395,125 funded from Pillar 3 of the Transition Support Facility (TSF).  The objective of PRCSP is to strengthen the capacity of key private sector development support structures.  The beneficiaries of the project are: the Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of the Comoros (UCCIA), the Association for the Promotion of Micro-enterprise (AMIE) and the Public-Private Dialogue Platform (PDPP).

Comoros - Investment Promotion Agency Support Project (PAAPI). This project concerns the support to the Investment Promotion Agency (PAAPI). It was designed by the Government of the Union of Comoros with financial support from the African Development Bank Group (ADB) of 1.10 million Units of Account (UA). The project comprises the following components: (i) Opportunities and Promotion of Private Investment, (ii) Investment Facilitation, Investor Services and Investor Monitoring, and (iii) Data and Knowledge Management.  The PAAPI aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the National Agency for Investment Promotion (ANPI), as well as the individual capacity of key personnel to promote and facilitate investment through training and especially on-the-job training and training skill developpement. The specific objectives of this project are closely aligned with ANPI's mandate to support this agency and the country's Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (SCA2D, 2015-2019), whose main objective is to achieve more diversified economic growth creating jobs: (i) prioritizing and developing the sectors with the best prospects for attracting FDI (with a focus on reducing import dependence and increasing value-added)  (ii) profiling these sectors, preparing appropriate marketing materials and identifying / reaching potential investors  and (iii) improving ANPI's ability to facilitate investment and provide quality services to investors.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Investment Promotion Agency (PAAPI).

Comoros - Technical assistance project for the development of a master plan for the production, transmission and distribution of energy and the development of renewable energies. This project concerns technical assistance for the development of the master plan for the production, transmission, distribution of electric power and development of renewable energies (PATEPD). It was initiated by the Government of the Union of Comoros with the support of the African Development Bank Group. The project comprises the following components: (i) the development of a master plan for the production, transmission, distribution of electricity and the development of renewable energies  (ii) transfer of skills / assistance to the executives of the Ministry in charge of energy  (iii) establishment of an energy information system (EIS) on the sector.  This project aims to contribute to creating the conditions for efficient management of the energy sector by providing the country with an investment planning tool.  The project should benefit both the Ministry of Energy and the Comorian population.

Comoros - Institutional Capacity Building Project – Phase II. The proposed operation relates to the second phase of the Institutional Capacity Building Project (ICBP II) of Comorian Government departments to mobilize internal resource and implement the country’s development strategy. The project aims to support the Comoros Islands in their efforts to exit from their situation of fragility. This second phase is justified by the need to consolidate the achievements of ICBPI and carry out activities complementary to those financed by ICBP I in Public Financial Management (PFM) and economic governance. To  achieve  this objective, ICBP  II has  two  operational components, namely: (i) improvement of internal  resource mobilization  and (ii) improvement  of  implementation  of  the  development strategy. These two components are complementary. Indeed, increasing internal resources under the project’s first component and more efficiently implementing the country’s development strategy under the  second  component  will help  to create favourable conditions for financing priority  expenditure  for  the  Comoros  to  gradually exit from its fragility situation. Specifically, the first component will create more budgetary leeway to finance the implementation of the development strategy, which pays special attention to the construction of core economic infrastructure. This will foster private sector development, which will create a dynamic economy leading to higher tax revenue. The project will be implemented over a period of 41 months (December 2015-April 2019) with an estimated cost, excluding taxes and customs duties, of UA 6 million.  ICBPII seeks to improve internal resource mobilization and development strategy implementation, both of which are essential for the Comoros Islands to gradually exit from the situation of fragility. The main expected outcomes of ICBP II are: (i) improved performance of tax revenue services resulting in improved tax/GDP ratio at 14.7% in 2019  and (ii) improved implementation of the development strategy resulting in more equitable use of public resources channeled more towards priority expenditure and thus, a higher CPIA score on equity in public resource use, which would stand at 3.2 in 2019.  The Government departments of the country will benefit from ICBP II through the support given to General Administration of Taxation and Customs (AGID), General Commission for Planning (CGP), the Island General Directorates for the Plan, National Institute of Statistics and Economic and Population Studies (INSEED), General Directorate of Energy, Mines and Water (DGEME) and Regional Directorate of Energy, Mines and Water (DREMEs). Indeed, ICBP II will improve the technical and human capacity of the Comorian public administration. The two national electricity companies (MA-MWE and EDA) will also benefit indirectly from the project, through the country’s improved planning/programming capacity for the development of the electricity sub-sector. Furthermore, the Comorian population as a whole (including women and youths) will also benefit from ICBP II, which will help improve access to quality basic services through effective implementation of Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD) 2015-2019.

Madagascar - Program for Promoting Youth Entrepreneurship in Agriculture and Agro-industry (PEJAA) – Project 1. The Program for the Promotion of Youth Entrepreneurship in Agriculture and Agro-Industry (YAMP) - Project 1 is part of the implementation of the Strategy for the Transformation of African Agriculture for 2016- 2025 of which it is one of the flagship initiatives. It aims to create favorable conditions and opportunities for the creation of decent jobs for young men and women along priority agricultural value chains. The project also takes into account the main factors of fragility in Madagascar, particularly those related to food insecurity, youth unemployment, land insecurity, lack and mismatch between qualifications and jobs, access to finance, vulnerability to natural disasters (droughts, floods and cyclones), persistence of traditional farming methods and lack of economic opportunities. The project has four components, namely: (i) the creation of an enabling environment for the development of youth entrepreneurship in agriculture and agribusiness  (ii) the development of youth entrepreneurship in agribusiness  (iii) financing and installation of young agripreneurs  and (iv) project management. The project strategy focuses on training young graduates of higher education in trades along agricultural value chains and in business management. Thus, it is planned to train, over 3 years, 410 agripreneurs in the various incubation centers. The young people thus trained will be assisted to develop their business plans and will receive a donation for the installation of their companies. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 5.560 million. Its implementation will generate jobs, promote entrepreneurship and food security thus contributing to the resilience of populations.  The program aims to reduce youth unemployment through the transformation and modernization of Malagasy agriculture, with the consequent enhancement of food and nutrition security. More specifically, it aims to promote the creation of remunerative jobs and generate income for young people in Agriculture and Agro-Industry through, in particular: (i) the establishment of favorable conditions for the emergence of and the growth of successful agriculture and agri-food businesses by youth and (ii) the financing of young agripreneurs' businesses along the agricultural value chain.  The direct beneficiaries of the program will be mainly graduates of higher education. The project will train 410 young agripreneurs, 50% of whom will be women over a period of 3 years, and it is estimated that at least 370 young people, 50% of whom are women, will set up as entrepreneurs. However, the training mechanism and the financing mechanism put in place, based on revolving funds, will make it possible to train and install an average of 500 agripreneurs every year. The project will generate at least 2,500 direct decent jobs per year by the fifth year. Other beneficiaries include service providers along selected value chains.

Comoros - Road Network Rehabilitation Project - Rehabilitation of RN2 (Moroni – Foumbouni): Moroni - Ouroveni Section. This additional funding aims to support the Road Network Rehabilitation Project. This Project is designed because of the poor quality of infrastructure, especially road infrastructure, and related services is one of the major constraints on economic diversification in the Comoros. Indeed, economic activities in the country focus mainly on agricultural and tertiary sectors. The improvement of the national road network and, to a lesser extent, its extension, should contribute to the development of the tourism and fisheries sectors which have been identified as another potential growth pole for the national economy. By helping to improve the quality of services and reduce the cost of transport, this project will facilitate equitable access by the project area population to reliable road transport and basic social infrastructure. The project will also improve their incomes by helping to increase and develop production that would stem from trade facilitation. Similarly, the structures were designed to address and prevent the effects of climate change. The project will be implemented from December 2016 to December 2020. The components of this project are: (A) road works, comprising: (i) the rehabilitation of 47 km of road  (ii) protection against sea erosion  and (iv) raising the population’s awareness  (B) support measures for women’s empowerment  (C) institution building, using procurement and institutional reform specialists  and (D) support for project management and monitoring.  The project’s sector goal is to improve the quality of road infrastructure in order to boost trade. Specifically, the project aims to improve: (i) the movement of goods and people  (ii) the service level  and (iii) access to basic services and the living conditions of the population of the project impact area.  The direct beneficiaries of this project are therefore the PIA population in general and, in particular, road users, women’s associations that will be supported, beneficiaries of capacity building activities, businesses and various service providers who will be mobilized.

Madagascar - Feasibility study project for the Malagasy agriculture transformation programme. The present project focuses on carrying out the feasibility study of the Malagasy Agriculture Transformation Program, which is an initiative to support value-added sectors and job creation in Madagascar. The study should lead to the identification of a program including the preparation of at least one priority project capable of supporting and supporting the desired changes in the agricultural sector. More specifically, this study should make it possible to determine the feasibility of proposals for concrete actions to operationalize the Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Sector Plan (PSAEP), as well as the accompanying National Investment Plan. It includes the following components: (i) analysis of national supply circuits for agricultural inputs and materials  (ii) the feasibility study of innovative mechanisms for financing the agricultural sector  (iii) the diagnostic study of the potential of agricultural and agro-industrial growth poles in Madagascar and the study of value chains  (iv) the study on improving the governance of the agricultural sector  (v) organization of a forum of technical and financial partners  (vi) the formulation of the program  (vii) Audit of the accounts of the PPF.  The objective of the project is to induce the transformation of Malagasy agriculture in order to eliminate extreme poverty, food and nutritional insecurity, and contribute to making Madagascar, a net exporter of agricultural products. The specific objective is to contribute to: (i) improve agricultural productivity and eradicate malnutrition and hunger  (ii) increase access to finance for agriculture  (iii) develop value chains and the marketing of agricultural products with high added value and nutrition, through the establishment of agricultural investment zones  (iv) implement the necessary policy and institutional reforms to support agricultural transformation.  The project will benefit in the first place the Government of Madagascar, farmers, rural entrepreneurs and the Malagasy population.

SDAUM-SCHEMAS DIRECTEURS D'ASSAINISSEMENT URBAIN DE MADAGASCAR. The project for the Development of Sewerage Master Plans for eight secondary cities in Madagascar (SDAUM) is part of the Malagasy Government's 2013-2018 priorities for sanitation. It enables the Government and town halls, in the targeted cities, to have an investment program and tools for better management and coordination of interventions in the sanitation sector. The project is structured in two (02) components: (i) the development studies of SDAU, APDs (Detailed Pre-Projects) and DAO (Bidding Documents)  and (ii) project management.

The project aims to equip the main secondary urban centers of Madagascar with Sewerage Master Plans and projects based on the integrated waste management approach likely to contribute to their resilience to climate change.  The beneficiaries of the project are: (i) the eight urban communes of Toliara, Taolagnaro, Antsirabe, Toamasina, Nosy-Be, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga, Antsiranana, housing 1.6 million inhabitants  (ii) the Sectoral Ministry (MEAH) and its counterparts, in charge of decentralization, urban planning, agriculture, environment and energy, will see their capacities in integrated management of urban waste strenghtened  (iii) Civil Society Organizations (NGOS) and Community structures involved in the targeted cities, who will participate in the SDAUs' setting- up process and detailed projects to mobilize funding for their implementation.

Madagascar - The Power Transmission Network Reinforcement and Interconnection Project (PRIRTEM). The proposed intervention is an ADF loan of UA 27.82 million to finance the first phase of the Madagascar Power Transmission Network Reinforcement and Interconnection Project (PRIRTEM-I) aimed at interconnecting the country's three major power grids (Antananarivo, Toamasina, Fianarantsoa). The project plans to build a 220-kV power line with a 120 MW capacity and electrifying the rural areas along the high-voltage line corridor. The line, which will run across three (3) regions (Analamanga, Alaotra Mangoro and Atsinanana), will interconnect RIA and RIT to facilitate energy flow between the two networks and consequently ensure reliable power supply, while also easing the development of large hydropower facilities. Besides the power line, the project also includes the construction of 4 substations (Tana Nord II, Ambohibary, Antsampanana and Toamasina), which will strengthen RIA and RIT and ensure power distribution in the rural areas crossed. This programme will help to optimise and integrate production resources, particularly renewable energy production technologies. The availability of a new power transmission line between the country's two main interconnected grids - Antananarivo (RIA) and Toamasina (RIT) - is a necessary condition for the integration of major hydropower developments on the drawing board such as Volobe (120 MW) and Sahofika (192 MW). By upgrading its hydropower, Madagascar will also reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, the import costs of which have a significant impact on the economy and JIRAMA’s financial viability. The project will be implemented over 48 months, with the main works completed in Q4-2023.  The objective of the project is to strengthen and link the two interconnected networks of Antananarivo (RIA) and Toamasina (RIT), and electrify localities and rural areas along National Road 2. PRIRTEM-1 will enhance the development and integration of renewable energy at a lower cost and render power supply more reliable in Madagascar's two largest cities, in addition to providing access to power in a rural area with high agro-industrial and mining potential. The project will contribute to improved business competitiveness, increased industrialisation, job creation and enhanced quality of life for the rural communities, including women actively involved in local economic activities.  The main beneficiary of PRIRTEM-1 is Madagascar water and power utility-Jiro sy rano Malagasy (JIRAMA), which will operate the 225-kV line and the distribution networks to be built. Rural Electrification Development Agency (ADER) will also be the direct beneficiary of Component aimed at developing mini-grids, while urban and rural communities will benefit from better electricity service and access to power, especially in areas that are completely isolated and remote from interconnected networks. Beneficiaries also include individuals, especially women, who will have access to jobs created and new businesses established as a result of the project.

Comoros - COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Programme for the Union of the Comoros (PABRC). The proposed operation is an ADF (African Development Fund) Grant of UA 5 million, a TSF (Transition Support Fund) Grant of UA 6.85 million and a TSF Loan of UA 3.15 million to finance the COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Programme (PABRC) for the Union of the Comoros. This is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) operation aimed at supporting the implementation of the Comoros Government’s multisector COVID-19 Response Plan. The PABRC appraisal took place in June 2020 following the request of the Government of Comoros dated 30 May 2020, soliciting support from the COVID-19 Response Facility (CRF) established by the Bank. Indeed, the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed on 30 April 2020. As of 28 October 2020, the country had a total of 517 positive cases, 494 persons cured and 7 deaths. The multi-dimensional shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in an already sombre context for the Comoros, faced with major challenges including recurrent natural disasters (cyclones, floods), food insecurity, energy shortage and weak human capital. PABRC has two components: (i) Support for health resilience and mitigation of the social impacts of the pandemic  and (ii) Support for the resilience of businesses and preservation of jobs.  The programme’s overall objective is to contribute to the health, social and economic response adopted by the Government of Comoros, to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19. Specifically, the operation will help to (i) continue curbing the spread of COVID-19  (ii) build the resilience of the most vulnerable populations  and (iii) preserve the production machinery.  Programme-supported measures are wide-ranging and affect sectors whose performance benefit the entire population. In effect, the health crisis response support operations will primarily target populations threatened by COVID-19. Aspects linked to social protection will strengthen the livelihoods of vulnerable households, while activities related to economic resilience will directly benefit formal and informal sector enterprises, and subsequently individuals and households that depend on jobs offered by these enterprises. Public institutions of the health and social sectors and central-level Government departments tasked with economic and financial management will benefit directly from PABRC support which will accompany them in implementing their respective work plans.

Madagascar - Industrialisation and Financial Sector Support Project (PAISF). The Industrialization and Financial Sector Support Project (PAISF) is based on a long-term approach aimed at transforming Madagascar's industrial sector and positioning it as the main driver of growth and creation of decent jobs for the most vulnerable population, particularly women and young graduates. The PAISF is complementary with the Bank's other projects in the country. In particular, the PAISF is a continuation of the of the Investment Promotion Support Project (PAPI) and will carry out priority activities that could not be implemented under the latter. It is an institutional support operation to help build a robust industrial sector that can create decent jobs, especially for the most marginalized groups of the population, namely women and young people, as well as address the country's vulnerability by strengthening its resilience. The PAISF has two (2) operational components, namely: (i) development of industrialization  and (ii) development of an enabling financial sector for industrialization. The third component relates to project management. The project total cost is estimated at UA 12.08 million.  The project’s objective is to create conditions that would attract private investment in Madagascar's manufacturing sector, particularly in areas where the country has comparative advantages (textiles, food processing, etc.).In particular, the project will aim to accelerate the development of Industrial Emergence Zones that will capitalize on Madagascar's comparative advantages, develop regional value chains, and attract international investors. The project will also support regional industrialization on the Ghanaian model of "one factory, one district" so that industrial development is inclusive throughout the country. In addition, it will facilitate the establishment of a long-term sustainable public-private partnership (PPP) fund to involve the private sector in the development of transformative infrastructure. Finally, the National Industrial Development Fund (FNDI) will provide financial assistance to Madagascar’s SMEs while supporting their integration into industrial value chains.  The main project beneficiaries are:(i) Madagascar as a whole, through building the institutional capacity of structures responsible for industrial development and private investment promotion, including structures in charge of PPPs  (ii) enterprises (small and medium-sized), which will benefit from an institutional framework that is more conducive to investment and provides broader access to financing  (iv) women and young entrepreneurs, who will receive support from the FNDI  (v) the entire population of Madagascar, who will be the indirect final beneficiaries of the positive impacts of industrial development, attraction of private investment in transformative infrastructure, the creation of decent jobs, and improvement of the quality of life of the population.

Comoros - National Road Network Rehabilitation Programme, Phase III - Rehabilitation of selected sections of the RN2 (OuroveniFoumbouni), RN21 (Domoni-Mremani), and RN32 (Wallah-Nioumachoua) Roads. This intervention is related to the rehabilitation of selected sections of the RN2 (OuroveniFoumbouni), RN21 (Domoni-Mremani), and RN32 (Wallah-Nioumachoua) Roads. It consists of the rehabilitation of 30.2 km of roads on the three islands of the Union of the Comoros, namely: 7.2 km on the Island of Grande Comore, 14 km on the Island of Anjouan, and 9 km on the Island of Mohéli. This project will open up the interior agricultural production regions, provide an efficient transport system for the supply of inputs, materials, and various products and above all for the transportation of agricultural produce to consumption areas. The Project also falls within the National Road Transport Master Plan (PDNTR 2015-2025) and the country's Transport Sector Policy (PST 2021- 2025). It has been structured into four (4) major components, namely: (A) Road works  (B) Support for women’s and youth economic empowerment  (C) Institutional support  and (D) Project management.  The project’s specific objective is to improve mobility and transport conditions for people and goods in the project area of the planned development of the RN2, RN21 and RN32 roads. At the sector level, the project aims to: (i) improve traffic flow and service levels on the road sections concerned  (ii) reduce transport costs and facilitate trade in the project area  and (iii) improve access to basic services and the living conditions of the project area population.  The direct project beneficiaries are: (i) people and entities working in the fisheries and agricultural sectors who are currently experiencing difficulties in transporting their products to consumption areas and/or in obtaining inputs  (ii) women and young people in the project area who will benefit from the activities under the "Support for women’s and youth economic empowerment" component to facilitate their social inclusion and improve their living conditions  (iii) the population in the various urban centres crossed by the road sections to be rehabilitated and in the regions surrounding the said urban centres.

Madagascar - Power Transmission Network Reinforcement and Interconnection Project in Madagascar - Phase II (PRIRTEM-II). The Power Transmission Network Reinforcement and Interconnection Project in MadagascarPhase 2 (PRIRTEM-II) will help to reduce the power deficit of the Antananarivo interconnected network (RIA) through the integration of new power plants, including Sahofika with a capacity of 192 MW and an output of nearly 1,500 GWh per year. Indeed, Madagascar has a huge but under-developed renewable energy potential. Less than 3% of the country’s hydropower potential (7,800 MW) is untapped. The project comprises: (i) the construction of a 135 km, 220 kV double-circuit interconnection line, with a capacity of 300 MW, between the Tana Sud 3 (TS3) and Vinaninkarena substations, via the Antanifotsy substation  (ii) the construction of the TS3 220/90/20 kV and Vinaninkarena 220/63/20 kV transformer substations  and (iii) the electrification of 19 villages in the Soanindrariny, Ambohidranandriana, Ambatomena and Ambohimiarivo municipal councils, representing 1,000 households. The expected outcomes of this investment operation are as follows: (i) increase in the coverage of the country's interconnected power grid  (ii) integration of major hydropower production facilities, in particular the future Sahofika power plant (192 MW)  (iii) reduction of the harmful effects of fossil fuel-based power production on the environment  (iv) improved electricity access to the country and especially in the project area  and (v) job creation, knowledge transfer and capacity building for the power sector staff and particularly JIRAMA employees. The project is estimated to cost UA 83.982 million and will be implemented over 60 months (2021-2025).  The project aims at strengthening and interconnection of Madagascar's power transmission networks. By helping to interconnect Madagascar's power grids, PRIRTEM-II will strengthen JIRAMA's power grid, thereby increasing the renewable energy transmission and evacuation capacity and providing access to more reliable and lower-cost energy.  The project will also electrify 19 villages in the Soanindrariny, Ambohidranandriana, Ambatomena and Ambohimiarivo municipal councils, providing electricity access to about 42,000 inhabitants of the area. Furthermore, the project will improve JIRAMA's financial situation thanks to the significant reduction in production costs that will be achieved by replacing very expensive thermal energy with renewable energies and by increasing the number of customers and sales. Lastly, PRIRTEM-II is expected to create more than 300 direct jobs, 20% of which will be held by women.

Comoros - Emergency Agricultural Production Support Project. Emergency Agricultural Production Support Project (AEFPF-Comoros) aims to increase local food production and build the resilience of food systems. It’s intended to support the Government’s efforts to mitigate the impact of global shocks on the national economy exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and to build resilience. It is designed as part of the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). The value chains targeted by the project are maize, potato, sweet potato, and poultry. The project will support the different categories of actors, including seed multipliers, agro breeders involved in the four selected sectors, as well as feed and agricultural input importers. The project is structured around the following three components: (i) Intensification of agricultural and poultry production  (ii) Institution and capacity building for agricultural intensification  and (iii) Project management, monitoring, and coordination. Gender, fragility and resilience, and climate change issues are mainstreamed across all components.  The project’s objective is to increase local food production and build the resilience of food systems to mitigate short- and medium-term risks due to the war in Ukraine. Specifically, it aims to: (i) intensify maize, potato and sweet potato production using certified seeds of climate change-resilient varieties  (ii) address priority needs for the revival of poultry production to increase the availability and accessibility of eggs and white meat  and (iii) create favorable conditions for production and for the productivity of the targeted value chains.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are estimated at more than 14,000 households or about 70,000 people living in the country’s three islands (Grande-Comores, Anjouan and Moheli) with 10 rural economic development centres (CRDEs) and 400 farmers’ organisations (FOs) of which 55% are women’s organisations. The indirect beneficiaries include a large proportion of the Comorian people who will benefit from the improvement in the availability and quality of agricultural and poultry production.

Madagascar - Multi-Country Covid-19 Response Support Program (MCRSP). The proposed intervention focuses on the Malagasy component of the Multi-country COVID19 Response Support Program (MCRSP) in Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe (MMMS countries). The proposed operation is designed as Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) and will be implemented over one year from July 2020. This is an African Development Fund (ADF) and Transition Support Facility grants and a loan totaling UA 100.4 million for all four (4) countries. The MMMS countries have been combined into one group to ensure efficiency in the processing of the CRBS support under the Southern Africa Regional Development and Business Delivery Office (RDGS), in order to fast track the Bank’s assistance to RMCs. They have similar characteristics and needs in dealing with the pandemic, adopting a common approach and response across the four countries. Except for STP (that falls within RDGS), their plans align with the SADC strategic priorities for the health sector. Madagascar recorded its three first positive cases on 19 March 2020. As at 6 July 2020, there were 3250 confirmed cases, 33 deaths and 1135 recoveries. A state of health emergency was declared on 21 March 2020 with several measures in order to contain the spread of the disease and lower its economic and social impact. The program is structured around 3 mutually reinforcing components: (i) Protect labour force productivity against the outbreak threat by strengthening diagnosis capacity and public health response to COVID-19  (ii) Safeguarding incomes and livelihoods through enhanced social protection, and (iii) Strengthening economic resilience and protecting jobs.  Program’s goal and purpose is to contribute to the successful eradication of COVID-19 in Madagascar through the implementation of an effective health response, economic resilience and equitable access to social services. Its policy objectives are to (i) protect lives and strengthen public health systems  (ii) protect livelihoods through enhanced social protection systems  and (iii) foster economic resilience and accountability in the management of COVID-19 funds.  By mitigating the negative economic and social impacts of COVID-19, the program will benefit the entire population of Madagascar. It will specifically support the Government in its economic recovery efforts, preserve private sector productive capacity and employment in critical sectors.

Madagascar - Economic Competitiveness Support Programme, Phase III (PACE III). The proposed operation concerns phase three of the Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (PACE III) in Madagascar. PACE is a three-year programme-based operation covering the 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial years. PACE III reforms aim to consolidate the achievements of previous programmes and support Government’s efforts to implement the reforms listed in the National Development Plan (NDP) 2015-2019. PACE III will lay emphasis on improving country's competitiveness to attract more public and private investment in job-creating sectors such as agro-industry. Therefore, the programme has two components. The first component: “Strengthen the regulatory and institutional framework for the promotion of public and private investment” will help to create a favourable environment for the promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to develop backbone infrastructure projects. The second (“Improve sector governance to support economic competitiveness”) will place emphasis on enhancing energy and transport sector performance. The continuity sought in this Phase III also stems from the programme-based nature of the operation. This approach will help to establish a medium-term dialogue platform with the authorities and improve aid predictability in order to facilitate alignment with the country’s development policies. It will provide part of the country’s funding needs for the 2019 financial year.  PACE will contribute to creating favourable conditions for robust inclusive economic growth by improving economic competitiveness in Madagascar. In this regard, the PACE programme will help to remedy the investment deficit in Madagascar and improve governance in the energy, transport and agro-industry sectors. The programme’s expected impact will be to raise the GDP growth rate from 4.2% in 2016 to 5.5% in 2020, and improve Pillar 2 (infrastructure) of the Global Competitiveness Index from 1.9 in 2016 to 2.3 in 2020.  PACE will benefit the entire population of Madagascar. An improved regulatory framework for the promotion of investments and better sector governance (energy, transport and agriculture) will help to improve the business climate and attract more investments in higher value-added job-creating sectors for the Malagasy people. Improved governance of State-owned enterprises (JIRAMA and Air Madagascar) will also benefit the population through better performance of these companies. Furthermore, the private sector will take advantage of the enhanced economic competitiveness arising from the delivery of programme-supported reforms. The programme will benefit JIRAMA and Air Madagascar by improving their performance.

Comoros - Public Debt Sustainability Support Project (PASDP). The Public Debt Sustainability Support Project (PASDP) will support the objectives of the Emerging Comoros Plan - ECP (2020 - 2030), and in particular its first catalyst relating to a reformed and more stable political and institutional framework. Indeed, support to public debt sustainability will contribute to the improvement of institutional capacities, which are necessary for sustainable and secure access to financial resources. The objective of the PASDP is to improve the country's resilience by strengthening institutional capacities for accountable, transparent and results-based debt management. The project will be structured around two functional components and a management component as follows: (i) Strengthening Core Functions and Stakeholder Coordination  (ii) Support to Data Management and Public Debt Transparency and  (iii) Project Management. Improved public debt management will contribute to better public financial management and macroeconomic stability, without which Comoros will have difficulty accessing concessional resources on a sustainable basis. The total cost of the project is 1,100,000 Units of Account, of which 1,000,000 is financed by the Bank Group and 100,000 represents counterpart funds provided by the Government through an in-kind contribution.  The objective of the Public Debt Sustainability Support Project is to improve the country's resilience through institutional capacity building for accountable, transparent and results-based debt management. It will improve the planning, management and coordination capacities of the Comorian public debt. The expected effects at the end of this operation are an improvement in (i) the CPIA "debt management policy" score and (ii) the percentage of arrears/refunds owed by the State.  The project activities will mainly benefit the Public Debt Directorate. The following other institutions will also benefit from PASDP support: the Public Accounting Directorate, the Treasury Directorate, the MFBSB Computer Centre, the Unit in charge of Public Debt within the Central Bank, the General Planning Commission, ANACEP and INSEED. These institutions are all (except ANACEP) members of the Technical Committee for Debt Management which will be supported by the project, with a view to better coordination of these institutions. The awareness-raising sessions with the private sector and civil society will also enable a better understanding by these actors of the state of the country's debt and the prospects envisaged by the Government.

Madagascar - Project to strengthen governance through digitisation. The proposed Project for Strengthening Governance through Digitalisation (PREGODI) aims to support the Government of Madagascar's efforts to improve governance and public financial management through increased digitalisation. The grant is for a total amount of one million (1,000,000) Units of Account from the Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar III resources under ADF-15. The TAF Pillar III resources that are the subject of this operation support capacity building, notably through the provision of technical assistance for the development of digital solutions and human capacity building in the use of digital tools. Digitalisation and capacity building will enable the Independent Anti-Corruption Bureau (BIANCO) to fully exploit the potential of the new asset declaration regime in the fight against corruption and Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). The operation has three (3) components, namely: (i) optimising public debt management through digitisation  (ii) strengthening the fight against corruption and IFFs through digitisation  and (iii) project management. The duration is 36 months maximum.  The overall objective of the proposed project is to build resilience through better use of public funds and increased trust in institutions, by strengthening debt management and anti-corruption institutions through digitisation. The specific objectives of this support are to: (i) Make debt management more efficient and transparent and optimize the management of the public debt portfolio through digitization and capacity building of the Directorate General of Public Debt (DDP)  (ii) Strengthen the capacity of BIANCO and the Financial Intelligence Service (SAMIFIN) to take full advantage of the asset declaration tool in the fight against corruption and IFF through digitization.  The direct beneficiaries of the support are Madagascar's Ministry of Economy and Finance (notably the Directorate General of Public Debt (DDP), the Financial Intelligence Service (SAMIFIN), the Independent Anti-Corruption Bureau (BIANCO) and civil society. The Malagasy population as a whole will also ultimately benefit from the results of this support through, among other things, better use of public funds and increased efficiency of the state thanks to (i) an optimised debt portfolio to maximise high-impact public investments in infrastructure and public services while maintaining debt sustainability and macroeconomic stability (ii) as well as increased transparency in the public sector leading to a reduction in corruption and leakages of public funds.

The road sections covered by this project are located in areas with high economic and tourist potential. Rehabilitating them will not only open up the country's inland regions but will also encourage the growth of economic activities, whose development is hampered by inadequate transport infrastructure. The RN3 and RN4 Road Rehabilitation Project on the Island of Ngazidja (Grande Comore) involves rehabilitating part of the road infrastructure infrastructure (notably the RN3-RN4 national road network). The project is divided into three (03) components, subdivided into the following tasks as follows: (i) roadworks, (ii) support for the empowerment of young people and women in the ZIP and (iii) project management.  The overall aim of the project is to improve the movement of goods and people in order to consolidate the foundations for strong, sustainable growth by facilitating trade. Specifically, the project aims to (i) reduce transport costs  (ii) open up production areas in order to improve the living conditions of the population in the Zone of Influence  and (iii) adapt the road network to the transport needs of the population and to the effects of climate change.  The beneficiaries of the project are the people living along the two main roads (RN3 and RN4) that make up the project. The direct impact zone is the spatial extent of the footprint of the project and associated facilities on the receiving environment. This includes the areas where the planned project activities will take place (project site, associated infrastructures and immediate surroundings). This includes the section of the RN3 and RN4 right-of-way to be rehabilitated. The project will indirectly benefit the country as a whole, as it will help to streamline and revitalize the country's transport and trade system.

Madagascar - PPF Project mobilization, protection and development of water resources. The PPF Project mobilization, protection and valorisation of water resources and the Strengthening of Resilience to Climate Change (PMP-VREAU - PPF Phase) aims, through studies and capacity building, to establish the basis for an inclusive, sustainable and efficient management of water infrastructures and resources in Madagascar. It has been designed in view of the criticality of the issue and the limited means of the Republic of Madagascar (RoM) and is the most effective instrument to ensure good quality at entry and effective implementation of the PMPVREAU Project. The PPF will also serve to strengthen the capacities of the sector's stakeholders and make available the knowledge products necessary for the harmonious, integrated and inclusive development of the sector as well as for the efficient management of water resources and hydraulic works in Madagascar. Specifically, it will contribute to (i) create the conditions for achieving 100% access to water in the project area by 2030 through the development of adequate infrastructure that is resilient to the effects of climate change, and strengthen the quality and efficiency of the water service  (ii) Establish the basis for adequate and responsible governance of the water resource, taking into account the competitive uses of the resource at the scale of the basins (iii) Ensure full resilience of the ecosystems and populations of the project area to the effects of climate change. It will be implemented around 3 components: (I) Improvement of knowledge, Monitoring and Governance of the Water Resource  (II) Preparation of Integrated and Sustainable Infrastructure Development  (III) Project Management and Coordination.  The objective of the PPF is to improve the efficiency of investments made in the water sector through studies and capacity building activities, and to make available knowledge products that will structure harmonious and inclusive development, as well as efficient management of water resources and hydraulic works in Madagascar.
The investment project "to result" from this PPF aims to "Contribute to the reinforcement of the resilience of Ecosystems and populations to climate change through actions for the mobilisation, protection and valorisation of water resources".  The studies to be prepared within the framework of this PPF will directly benefit, through their implementation, the populations of the regions of Analamanga, Vakinankaratra, Amoron'i Mania, Haute Matsiatra, Ihorombe and Androy, which will be equipped by 2025 with water resource mobilisation infrastructure works for multiple uses, in particular drinking water supply, irrigation and energy production. Indirectly, the project will benefit other regions of the country, particularly those most affected by the effects of climate change.

Madagascar - Additional Financing For The African Disaster Risk Financing Programme (ADRIFI). This additional financing for the ADRiFi Programme in Madagascar is an emergency Bank support to the Government of Madagascar following the tropical storms and cyclones that harshly hit the country during the first quarter of 2022, and caused damage in almost all sectors (housing, education, health, infrastructure (administrative, road, railway, irrigation, energy) etc.). The additional financing will consolidate the achievements of the first phase of the ADRiFi Programme in Madagascar and safeguard the Bank's investments in areas affected by tropical storms and cyclones. The Bank’s financial support to post-cyclone recovery will be provided through additional financing of UA 10 million for the ADRiFi Programme in Madagascar for the second phase of the programme from December 2023 to March 2026. The funding will be a hybrid loan and grant from Pillar 1 of the Transition Support Facility (TSF). The TSF loan will be invested in three (3) core components: (i) Development of climate risk management solutions  (ii) Rehabilitation and post-disaster reconstruction activities  and (iii) Programme management, coordination, and implementation of the Gender Action Plan. The TSF grant will be invested in two (2) components: (iv) Support for access to risk transfer mechanisms  and (v) Emergency activities and post-cyclone recovery.  The main objective of this programme is to build resilience and response to climate shocks by improving disaster risk management and climate change adaptation in Madagascar. The development objective is based on two pillars: (i) building the financial resilience of the Government of Madagascar to climatic hazards through the adoption of risk transfer mechanisms capable of mobilising financial resources for rapid assistance to vulnerable populations in the event of a disaster  and (ii) strengthening the food security and social resilience of vulnerable populations impacted by climatic hazards in the South and South-East.  In general, the additional financing will cover the project areas of the ADRIFI Programme in the South, namely Anosy, Androy and Atsimo Andrefana regions, as well as areas heavily impacted by cyclones in the East, such as Analanjirofo and Atsinanana, and in the Great South-East, such as Vatovavy, Fitovinany and Atsimo Atsinanana. The total number of direct beneficiaries of the proposed activities is estimated at 360,000, comprising 180,000 men, 180,000 women, 2,000 elderly people and 23,000 young people. About 730,000 people could also benefit indirectly from the project through the insurance coverage. In addition, the Government of Madagascar will benefit from support in paying its insurance premium, while Government departments and agencies involved in disaster risk management will benefit from capacity building in climate data collection and analysis.

Madagascar - Support Project for the Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area in Madagascar. This operation concerns a Grant of one million (1,000,000) UA from the Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar III resources to Madagascar for the African Continental Free Trade Area Implementation Support Project (AfCFTA). This project will support the political framework to move quickly towards the implementation of a roadmap to facilitate the ratification of legal instruments but also to equip stakeholders to better respond to the challenges related to the implementation of the AfCFTA. This project will thus help optimise the results of investment projects currently being implemented in Madagascar in support of regional integration. The support will also identify areas of strengthening for the implementation of the AfCFTA that could be supported under future phases of the Corridor Development and Trade Facilitation Project (CDTF), foreseen in Madagascar's 2022-2026 Country Strategy Paper (CSP), in order to consolidate the gains for better connectivity of the country with continental Africa and for trade facilitation. The AfCFTA AP is structured around two components: (i) Support to the development of a gender-sensitive institutional framework for the implementation of the AfCFTA and (ii) Capacity building and awareness raising of stakeholders including women to support the implementation of the AfCFTA. The duration of the operation is up to 36 months.  The main objective of the AfCFTA-AP is to support a national strategy to accelerate the inclusive implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area in Madagascar, in order to enable the country to reap the full benefits of the continental market and to enable the population, men and women to benefit from it.  The direct beneficiaries of the support are the Government of Madagascar through the Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Consumption (MICC), national elected officials, the private sector and civil society including women's associations and groups. The Malagasy population as a whole will also eventually benefit from the results of this support, notably through trade and investment development activities  improved access to the benefits of the AfCFTA  and the acceleration of the process of structural transformation of the economy supported by industrialisation and the creation of decent jobs, thus helping to address the challenges of fragility.

Somalia - Kismayo-Baidoa Urban Water Supply and Sanitation project. The proposed project aims at contributing to improve quality of life, inclusiveness and resilience through the  provision  of  sustainable  water  supply  and  sanitation  services.  The  project  focuses  on increasing access to safe water, improved sanitation and strengthening capacity for improved delivery of water and sanitation services in Kismayo (Jubbaland State) and Baidoa (South West State) towns. The project will reduce  economic  and  social  exclusion  of  poor  and  vulnerable  groups in the  two  towns,  where an estimated 65% of the population live below the basic needs poverty line and 70% of the population is younger than 30 years is often unemployed by improving access to safe and reliable water supply. The project will improve access to affordable water supply and sanitation services in Kismayo and  Baidoa,  particularly for  the  Internally  Displaced  Persons  (IDP’s) -who  comprise  43%  of  the population, have contributed significantly to the growing urban informality in the two towns, and are facing great hardship in accessing clean water and improved sanitation. Water and Sanitation tariffs will be reviewed to incorporate lifeline tariffs, which often ensure that those in greatest hardship can afford water  and  sanitation  services.  Selected  education,  health and  market facilities  will  also  benefit  from improved water and sanitation facilities and  hygiene training and promotion.  The  project  will  cost an estimated  UA 9.589 million  and its implementation period is 48 months with a completion date of September 2023.  The project objective is to contribute to improved quality of life, inclusiveness and resilience through the provision of sustainable water supply and sanitation services. Recognizing the limited resource envelope and the fragile situation in Somalia - where years of protracted conflict and increased violence has undermined service delivery  the project has concentrated on  (i) construction/rehabilitation of key urban water supply/sanitation systems to improve access to clean water supply and basic sanitation services for the underserved  (ii) ensuring complementarity with other on-going donor interventions and (iii) building the capacity of the MoEWR and the 2 FMS (Jubbaland and South West State) to enhance service delivery through innovative Public-Private Partnerships. The adopted approach will contribute to both improving the quality of life for the beneficiaries and build urban resilience in the two cities.  The main beneficiaries are approximately 200,000 people urban and peri-urban communities living in Kismayo and Baidoa. The two FMS States of Jubbaland and South West State will also benefit from the support given during implementation of the infrastructure works. Community members will benefit from employment during physical implementation. Project activities are mainly construction and management of water and sanitation infrastructure including the provision of water-related services, and all these will create jobs contributing to some extent to SDG No 8, which addresses decent work for all. The project will improve access to safe and more affordable water supply and sanitation services in Kismayo and Baidoa, particularly IDP’s who are facing great hardship. Water and sanitation services tariffs and charges will be reviewed  and will incorporate features such as lifeline tariffs, to ensure those in greatest hardship can afford water services, bid documents will require contractors to adhere to core labor standards and carry out HIV/AIDS awareness training for workers and surrounding communities. Internally Displaced People and returnees in the project areas will also benefit from the interventions. Selected education facilities will also benefit from improved water and sanitation facilities and hygiene training and promotion. The project will also provide employment opportunities to an estimated 420 local people, including youth as well as service providers including consultants, NGOs and contractors. Livestock will also benefit from the water provided under the project. A total 350 youth (at least 30% women) from marginalized groups including IDPs and their host communities will be trained under the skills enhancement program. Thirty - five (35) interns will be attached to the project for them to acquire practical skills in disciplines such as civil engineering including project management.

Somalia - Strenghtening PFM and Debt Management Project. The project is critical to support FGS to ensure more efficient PFM practice that will be needed to handle the increased external support and complexity of development financing that Somalia may receive after reaching the HIPC completion point. Somalia has made good progress in the area of financial transparency and accountability  but further action is still needed. A basic fiscal framework - supported by an annual budget process, regular fiscal reporting and improved cash management capacity - has been established by the FGS. The overall Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) score improved from 8.0 out of 100 in 2013 to 19.2 in 2019. However, the Bank’s CFRA conducted in 2020 has identified five PFM challenges and fiduciary risks: (i) instituting PFM fundamentals for budget credibility  (ii) effective budget execution and financial accountability  (iii) improving policy formulation, planning and budget preparation  (iv) institutional structures  and (v) sound public debt management and transparency. In addition, essential central institutions such as the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and other ministries suffer from significant capacity deficiencies due to inadequate physical infrastructure, and financial and human capital resources. Addressing these identified areas require significant technical and financial assistance, given the current tight fiscal space, with extremely limited capacity to raise revenue. Therefore, this operation is in line with addressing the challenges identified in the CFRA.  The overall goal of the project is to improve Somalia’s PFM and debt management capacity for greater economic stability and resilience. The project is structured around three main operational objectives: (i) promote effectiveness and efficiency in the internal and external audit oversight functions to ensure improved budget planning and execution oversight in the public sector  (ii) strengthen institutional capacity for transparent and accountable results-based PFM  and (iii) strengthen debt management framework and greater transparency to achieve enhanced transparent and sustainable debt management.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will be the Departments in the Ministry of Finance (Internal Audit, and Debt Management Unit)  Office of the Auditor General, and MDAs officials involved in PFM activities. The project will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of Somalia through building the weak human and institutional capacity in public debt management and promoting good economic governance. The ultimate result is increased resources available to finance the provision of public goods and services, investments in development programs, enabling recovery and relieving poverty.

Togo - Education and Vocational Training Development Project (Education II). At appraisal, education was one of Togo’s priority sectors. Sector diagnosis results in the 1980s (1987 to 1989), when
compared with demographic data (natural growth rate, birth rate, mortality rate and standard of living), showed sharp
disparities in various indicators including: (i) number and distribution of schools by prefecture and by region  (ii) enrolment
by school, by prefecture and by region  (iii) enrolment ratio by prefecture and by region  (iv) girls’ enrolment ratio by
prefecture and by region  and (v) distribution of teaching staff by category, qualification and gender. 
Hence, the Government sought the assistance of some privileged partners,
such as the ADB Group, to improve the internal and external efficiency of its education system so as to bring about
sustainable social development that guarantees effective poverty reduction for a significant segment of the population.  -Improve the quality and efficiency of primary education in the Central Region with emphasis on promoting girls participation 
-Strengthen and enhance the quality of technical and vocational education by restructuring existing technical colleges (CETs) established by the ADB and opening them up to new market and labour opportunities.  Infrastructure constructed and equipped with project resources reinforced education activities for the communities in certain rural areas. In general, gender issues are factored into project activities. The sensitization of girls on primary, technical and vocational education has substantially contributed to gender equality and women’s empowerment. The construction of many classrooms promoted access to education for children, including young girls. Furthermore, the increase in classrooms/workshops led to the recruitment of more teachers, including female teachers.

EDUCATION. Le projet Education a été approuvé le 23 mars 1978 et a pris fin en 1994. Le projet a été financé par le fonds africain de développement.

Togo - Study on Population Sector. The proposed study aims to cover areas of high priority for the Government of Togo such as the establishment of an Integrated Population Information System (IIC-POP), information on family and migration/urbanization. The study in the population sector will thus contribute to a better understanding of population issues in order to enable the definition of projects that will contribute to the implementation of this policy. Indeed, there is no integrated population information system that provides the country with complete, reliable and consistent socio-demographic information. Similarly, knowledge on family and migration and urbanization remains limited due to the lack of national studies in these areas. The study is also designed to cover complementary areas of population knowledge with respect to the operations planned by the government in 1997-98. This study will be national in scope and will be conducted in two (2) phases: the first phase consists of three (3) complementary components, the results of which will be translated into operational recommendations to guide development actions. This phase will last between six (6) and eighteen (18) months. The second phase, which will last six (6) months, will be devoted to the preparation of detailed projects based on the results and recommendations of the first phase. The proposed projects will be prepared in accordance with the government and ADF priorities and will be documented in a project document. Its implementation will provide the country with reliable information for the implementation of the population policy and for integrated socio-economic planning.  The study, at the sectoral level, aims to improve knowledge on population issues. More specifically, the objective of the study is to identify the problems of the sector through socio-demographic analyses and to propose concrete solutions to these problems in the form of projects.  The project main beneficiary is the Government of Togo.

Guinea-Bissau - Advanced Artisanal Fisheries Development Project. The Advanced Artisanal Fisheries Development Project is designed to promote the development of advanced artisanal fisheries in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. It is indispensable insofar as it should allow the development of a sector designated as one of the priorities of the second development plan. The project also aims to train 500 new artisanal fishermen. In addition, it should allow, through its component relating to the improvement of the knowledge of the fishery resources, to follow quantitatively and qualitatively the sampling on the marine stock and thus to give to the heads of the fishing sector the information necessary for an optimal management Resource. The components of the project are: (i) training of 1,700 fishermen and 5 crews of liners  (ii) support for the installation of fishermen  (iii) institutional strengthening of the State Secretariat for Fisheries  and (iv) improving knowledge of fisheries resources.  The objective of the project is to promote the development of advanced small-scale fishing in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau in order to create new jobs, develop the supply of the domestic market and increase exports of seafood products.  The beneficiaries of the project are fishermen, consumers of fishery products, young people (who will benefit from job creation) and the State Secretariat for Fisheries.

Guinea-Bissau - The Fishing Sector Support Project (Supplementary Grant). The Fisheries Sector Support Project (PASP) was approved on October 31, 2001. The project experienced many delays at its inception due to the socio-political problems that affected the country and negatively impacted the implementation deadlines and the satisfaction of conditions at first disbursement. The project comprises four components, with the "Reinforcement of Landing Infrastructures" component, which includes the construction of a 360 m pier in Bandim and a 20,000 m² developed platform. The port infrastructure of Bandim is one of the national priorities in terms of productive investments. They constitute a real pole of economic and social development in the country and will offer a privileged framework of creation of added value, promotion of the private sector and exports. The completion of the landing infrastructure will enable the country to have conditions enabling fishing vessels to land their products before re-exportation, to refuel and ensure routine maintenance and repairs, which will generate a whole port dynamic beneficial to the entire national economy. This additional grant allocated under ADF XI would make it possible to complete the financing necessary for the construction of the infrastructures and ensure the implementation of the efficient management conditions related thereto. The remaining activities under the supplementary grant were estimated at UA 6.83 million out of a total revised project cost of UA 9.35 million.  The sectoral objective and the specific objectives of the project have not been modified. The sector goal remains to contribute to strengthening food security and reducing poverty. The main objectives of the project remain the promotion of fishing activity at the national level. The additional donation will contribute to the closure of Bandim Wharf funding and associated infrastructure.  Beneficiaries are: * Fisheries Administration staff, * Production people and fishermen as a whole, * Other fisheries stakeholders. The infrastructures will promote the development of activities and services and the creation of direct jobs estimated at 4,200 persons / year, including 1,920 women, and will reinforce the quality control system for the products.

Guinea-Bissau - Emergency Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme. La Guinée-Bissau émergeait d’une période de transition démocratique de plus de deux ans suite à un coup d’État en avril 2012. Le retour à l’ordre constitutionnel a permis d’amorcer un retour à la normale après une période d’atonie socio-économique durant laquelle la croissance s’est effondrée, les services sociaux se sont détériorés, et la confiance entre les acteurs sociaux, économiques et politique s’est rompue. Dans un tel contexte sécuriser la transition était le défi le plus urgent pour le pays.  Le PUAREF avait pour objectif principal la sécurisation de la transition en donnant les moyens nécessaires à l’Etat pour reprendre ses fonctions, mais aussi pour inciter les autorités à amorcer les réformes nécessaires à la stabilisation économique du pays. De manière plus précise, l’objectif du PUAREF était le renforcement de la gestion des finances publiques afin de permettre le rétablissement des structures de base de l'Etat, la lutte contre la corruption et les activités illicites pour renforcer l’état de droit, et la création d’un environnement pour que les acteurs non-étatiques (secteur privé et société civile) puissent jouer pleinement leur rôle dans le cadre du contrôle citoyen de l’action publique. L’opération répond aux analyses qui sous-tendent la stratégie pays, en particulier l’étude de 2014 sur l’analyse de la fragilité en Guinée-Bissau.

By supporting the development of agricultural infrastructure, the Bank will create factors conducive to the development of agricultural and rural enterprises in all targeted subsector value chain links, thus creating employment particularly for youths and women (production, processing and marketing). The total project cost, exclusive of taxes and customs duties, is UA 10.62 million (XOF 8.607 billion).  PACVEAR’s overall objective is to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of subsector value chains (rice and market gardening) to boost inclusive and sustainable growth in the agricultural sector. Its specific objective is to improve the rice and market gardening subsector production environment, and promote enterprises in all targeted subsector value chain links, with a view to creating sustainable jobs and increasing rural income.  Specifically, PACVEAR will benefit many rural producers who would have easier access to facilities, inputs and equipment, and probably sell their produce more easily and at reduced cost. Project activities will focus on two highly vulnerable target groups in rural areas - women and youths. The project will directly benefit 4 400 households/farmers, or 35 000 people, at least 13 000 of them women. It will indirectly benefit all households in the three regions concerned through the outcomes of its activities and transformational investments. From the institutional viewpoint, the project will involve some 110 FOs, unions, EIGs and management committees. The implementation of project activities will create 2 800 decent jobs (for men, women and youths).

Kenya - Menengai Geothermal Development Project. The Menengai Geothermal Development Project is situated within the Eastern sector of the African Rift system, about 180 km northwest of Nairobi in Kenya. The project aims at meeting Kenya’s rapidly increasing demand for power while diversifying sources of power supply by developing the country’s huge geothermal potential. More specifically, the project aims to develop the Menengai geothermal steam field to produce enough steam for 400 MW power generation that will be generated by the private sector as an Independent Power Producer (IPP) or a Public Private Partnership (PPP). The project will be completed by July 2016 and will cost UA 324 million.  The project will enable substantial increase in the provision of additional reliable, clean and affordable power generation capacity to Kenyan households, businesses and industries, with an increase equivalent to 26% of the current total installed generation capacity in the country. The steam field development will enable electricity generation equivalent to the consumption needs of up to around 500,000 households of which 70,000 in rural areas, 300,000 small businesses, as well as 1,000 GWh of energy to businesses and industries. The project will also help avoid close to 2 million tons of CO2 per annum. Access to modern energy will help improve health and education opportunities, particularly for women and girls. The project will also ensure an employment ratio of 30% women, which will be high for small town standards in Kenya. The transfer of the potable water facility to the community/municipality will have a direct effect in the empowerment of women who normally collect water for domestic purposes.  The direct project beneficiaries are located in the Bahati, Kiamaina, Wanyororo, Kabatini, Engoshura, Solai, Banita, Mashiaro, Menengai Hill, Valley Farm, Kiamunyi/Olive, Ol Rongai & Kwa Gitau communities within the project area. These beneficiaries include local households, businesses, and industries.

Multinational - Study into the contribution of the Jewelry Manufacturing and its Impact on Value Addition, Job Creation, and the Economic Empowerment of Women and Youth. The study into the contribution of the Jewelry Manufacturing and its Impact on Value Addition, Job Creation, and the Economic Empowerment of Women and Youth aims to address gender inequalities in human development, access to services, and sustainable development. The project is also aligned with the Gender Equality Strategy and Jobs for Youth in Africa strategy through sustainable job creation and provision of capacity building activities in all three countries. It is consistent with the Bank’s strategy of Addressing Fragility and Building Resilience in Africa (2014-2019), and the Bank CSPs for Zimbabwe, Sierra Leoneand Republic of Guinea for effective governance and management of minerals. This Value Chain Analysis Study has been prepared with support from the country offices and the Transition States Coordination Office, (RDTS) and in consultation with the respective Governments. The proposed project comprises of two (02) major components: (i) Mineral Value Chain study in the 3 pilot countries (Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone and Republic of Guinea) and (ii) Capacity building activities for Women and Youth entrepreneurs operating in the jewelry manufacturing value chain (trained in cutting, polishing and jewelry manufacturing by country).  The objective of the study is to provide Regional Member Countries (RMCs) with an understanding of the entry barriers, benefits and types of public and private investments necessary to pave the way for successful women’s economic participation in downstream mineral processing and value addition. This will be achieved by analyzing inputs and outputs feasible from downstream processing and value addition activities of gold, ruby, sapphire and copper.  The project will benefit all Regional Member Countries (RMCs). However, the pilot phase will benefit three (03) pilot countries, namely: Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone and the Republic of Guinea.

Kenya - Quality Improvement of Primary Teacher, Secondary Science, and Technical Education Project (Education II Project). The present intervention concerns the Quality Improvement of Primary Teacher, Secondary Science, and Technical Education Project (Education II Project). It should assist the Government in the implementation of educational policies and strategies to the year 2000 and beyond. The project should contribute to the full implementation of the 8-4-4 system introduced in 1985. The quality improvement of education plays a central role in the context of the reform, and the project contributes to its achievement in primary school teacher training, in secondary science teaching, and in technical education. Expanding the access to education particularly in remote areas is another important policy objective, as is the increased enrolment of girls in technical training. The project comprises the following components: (i) Primary Teacher Education, (ii) Science Education in Secondary Schools, (iii) Staff Development  (iv) Technical Education and (v) Project Coordination Committee (PCC) and Project Implementation Units (PIUs).  The objective of the project is to improve the quality of the 8-4-4 education and Training system in a work and development-oriented direction. Specifically, the project should: (i) enhance the quality of primary education through the improvement of primary teacher training  (ii) enlarge the effectiveness of general secondary education by intensifying the teaching of science subjects  (iii) improve technical training at the crafts and diploma level.  The principal beneficiaries of the project are, on the one hand, the population at large who should profit from an increased supply of better qualified primary school teachers and from improved science teaching. The beneficiaries of the technical training, on the other hand, would be the large population group that cannot pursue general education beyond primary education, having to proceed towards employment, self-employment or unemployment.

Multinational (EAC, COMESA and SADC) -  Tripartite Capacity Building Programme, Phase II. The proposed operation is a grant of UA850, 000.00 to finance the Tripartite Capacity Building Programme, Phase II in three (3) Regional Economic communities, namely COMESA, East African Community (EAC) and Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). The Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) Agreement is a major milestone in Africa’s efforts to overcome the challenges of small, fragmented markets and overlapping REC membership, which creates a spaghetti bowl of trade rules. It consolidates the markets of three RECs, namely COMESA, EAC and SADC into a seamless free trade area. Together, these RECs cover a USD1.3 trillion market representing 56% of Africa’s GDP and approximately 740 million consumers spread across 29 Countries. The TFTA also aims at tackling non-tariff barriers to trade (NTBs), which tend to rise as countries resort to unfair regulatory and other trade restricting measures when tariffs fall, thereby inhibiting cross border trade. The Project will complement the support provided by the Bank under TCBP Phase I and give the impetus to implement the negotiated TFTA Agreement. This is a stand-alone operation, within the framework of the Bank’s Regional Integration Strategic Framework (RISF, 2018-2025). The Project will bridge the identified capacity gaps not fully supported by other DPs towards operationalizing the Free Trade Area. Indeed, the proposed operation will provide technical assistance and capacity building to the 3 RECs and their RMCs to operationalize the TFTA Agreement, which was signed in Sharm El Shekh, Egypt in 2015. Key outputs from the Bank’s intervention will be the development of guidelines, procedures, regulations and manuals required to operationalize the Agreement in areas such as rules of origin and dispute settlement. The Project will also support the establishment of online databases for non-tariff measures in Tripartite RMCs, building on the pilots under phase I. This will improve transparency in trade, speed up the resolution of non-tariff barriers (NTBs), deter arbitrary application of regulatory measures that hinder trade, and improve awareness of traders about legitimate regulatory requirements, which provides a foundation for them to improve their capacity for compliance. The Project will also provide training to members of regional business councils/chambers on the applicable rules of origin and disseminate information on TFTA trade rules and opportunities through the Bank-funded 50 million WS Platform for entrepreneurs. The project will also support the implementation of Tripartite Simplified Trade Regime (STR). Implementation will take a period of 24 months, from grant effectiveness.  The Project will address the key developmental challenge of low intra-African trade focusing on tackling the problems of small, fragmented markets, overlapping Regional Economic Community (REC) membership, which creates a spaghetti bowl of trade rules, a proliferation of non-tariff barriers and information asymmetries, which limit the ability of traders, especially women, to effectively take advantage of market access opportunities. The key outputs will be the development of guidelines/procedures/regulations/manuals necessary for implementation of the TFTA Agreement, and roll out online databases for Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs), building on the pilots under phase I.  The direct beneficiaries are the Tripartite Regional Economic Communities (T-RECs) namely COMESA, EAC and SADC, their member countries, traders (including women traders who are the major beneficiaries of the STR) and business persons in the Tripartite region which covers over half of Africa’s population and GDP. The indirect beneficiaries are consumers who will benefit from a wider choice of goods and services at affordable prices. Investors will also indirectly benefit from the improved business environment brought about by a reduction in impediments to trade.

Multinational - Financial Modeling for the Extractive Sector (FIMES) in Transitional Countries. The present project concerns the Financial Modeling for the Extractive Sector (FIMES) in Transitional Countries. It’s designed because Africa’s transitional countries need to build state capacity to mobilise revenues from natural resource investments in order to address reconstruction, infrastructure and socio-economic priorities. The FIMES project will equip transitional countries with the right skills and knowledge to enhance domestic resource mobilisation for accelerated growth and sustainable development. The FIMES project will train policymakers responsible for the extractive sector to realise greater returns from natural resource investments in their countries.  The main objective of the FIMES project is to enhance the ability of governments in the focal countries to improve domestic resource mobilisation from the extractive sector using financial modeling. More specifically, the project will: a) build and enhance the capacity of government institutions to use financial modeling of extractive projects to inform strategy setting, negotiate contracts and concessions, design fiscal regimes, carry out risk assessments, and inform budget forecasts  b) improve governments’ access to data needed to input into the financial models and capacity to interpret and analyse them in a manner consistent with fiscal requirements  c) support extractive sector regulatory structures and the coordination mechanisms within national governments to maximise the impact of financial modeling on resource revenue management  d) enhance the overall capacity of state regulatory agencies to forecast and monitor revenues from extractive industry projects and investments  e) guide decision-making in the review of national mining or petroleum legislation and policies.  The eight beneficiary countries of the project are: Guinea, Liberia, Niger, Mali, Madagascar, South Sudan, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.

Multinational - Strenghtening Regional and National Institutions for Reduction of Proliferation of Small Arms. The Strengthening Regional and National Institutions for Reduction of Proliferation of Small Arms Project address the fragility issues within the Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Region. The proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons in the Great Lakes Region, Horn of Africa and Bordering States continues to sustain armed conflicts, cattle rustling, poaching and fuels armed crimes and terrorism. All these challenges contribute to fragility situations that result in negative effects on sustainable development. This project emanates from the need to strengthen member states' capacity in arms management in order to reduce fragility that results in negative effects on sustainable development. The expected outcomes of the project include strengthened RECSA capacity for coordination of SALW interventions and improved arms management by the aforementioned member states. The project will run for 24 months at an estimated total cost of UA 1.0 million.  The overall objective of project is to strengthen the institutional capacity of the RECSA Secretariat and strengthen member states (Somalia, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo) capacity in arms management.  Project beneficiaries both direct and indirect will be the RECSA Secretariat and its 15 member states (Republic of Burundi, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Republic of Djibouti, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, State of Eritrea, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Republic of Kenya, Republic of Rwanda, Republic of the Sudan, Republic of Somalia, Republic of Seychelles, Republic of South Sudan, United Republic of Tanzania and Republic of Uganda) whose approximate population is 300 million, of which approximately 55% constitute youth and 50% constitute women.

level and 200 at the doctorate level. Of the first group at the BS level, it is estimated that 900
will be women, based on the 8% participation trend for women in STI programs. Up to 250
women will be targeted for the masters and doctorate training. A total of 560 (190 women)
teaching staff will benefit through training in strategic management and governance. All the
project target institutions have already been assigned additional engineering students in the
September 2012 and January 2013 university intake through the selection that is done by the
University JAB.

Multinational - Project to Support the Promotion of Access by MFIs
(or DFSs) to the WAEMU Regional Payment System
(PASFDSPR). The project will support payment system integration, financial inclusion, trade integration and inclusive growth processes in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). This is a project to invest in the infrastructure needed to extend regional payment systems (including a capacity building component). It comprises two main components which do not require the revision of the MFI regulations in force, namely: (i) Upgrading Information and Management Systems and Building MFI Capacity  and (ii) Improving Indirect Access by MFIs to WAEMU Payment Systems and the Provision and Popularization of MFI Services and Products.  The project seeks to contribute to increasing access to financial services by the underprivileged segments of the population in WAEMU (women, youths, rural dwellers, MSMEs, etc.) by establishing mechanisms to facilitate access by MFIs or DFS’ to WAEMU payment systems.  The main project beneficiaries are: (i) the most disadvantaged segments of the population (rural dwellers, women, youths and micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises) who will benefit from a wide and diversified range of regional financial products and services at low cost, and improved living conditions  (ii) MFIs which will benefit from access to payment and clearing systems  and (iii) WAEMU economies which will be more integrated (through improved migrant remittances, regional financial flows and formal intra-regional trade).

Multinational - Ruzizi III regional hydropower plant project. The Ruzizi III Hydropower Plant Project which is part of the Programme for the Development of Infrastructure in Africa (PIDA) concerns Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. It entails the construction of a run-of-river dam (on the Ruzizi River between DRC and Rwanda downstream from the Ruzizi II hydropower dam), a 147 MW power plant and a distribution station. Burundi’s current total capacity will double, while Rwanda’s will increase by half. DRC’s share will contribute to raising supply in the Eastern region currently not connected to the interconnected network, while also significantly reducing the percentage of energy of thermal origin. The project will help to meet the needs of the population and of the economy, in general, in accordance with the national development strategies of the countries concerned, which underscore the importance of ensuring reliable and affordable electric power supply to achieve sustainable economic transformation. The specific objectives of this operation are to: (i) contribute to the development of Ruzizi III for hydropower generation  and (ii) strengthen regional economic integration through the creation of an electricity market. The plan is to implement a project at a total cost of UA 443.40 million (of which UA 98.5 million financed by the Bank’s public sector window and UA 35.62 million expected from the private window) over a period of six (6) years, one year of which constitutes the development phase. This is the first regional project designed as a public-private partnership (PPP) aimed at optimizing the hydropower potential of the Ruzizi cascade. For its implementation, a private partner, acting in the capacity of investor/developer, will be recruited and awarded a concession. This partner will be required to develop the project, be a majority partner in a project company (PC) with the three countries concerned and secure the necessary financing.  The project's sector goal is to tap the energy potential of the Ruzizi cascade to meet demand from the population and the economy in general, in accordance with ECGLC national development strategies, which stress the importance of reliable power supply for sustainable socio-economic transformation. The specific objectives are to: (i) contribute to the development of the Ruzizi III scheme  and (ii) strengthen regional economic integration by creating a market for electricity. The project will generate many benefits, including: (i) increased supply of electricity in the region and consequently access to electricity at an affordable cost, the direct beneficiaries of which will be the population, electricity companies and businesses in the countries concerned  (ii) the creation of direct and indirect jobs during works and permanent jobs during the operational phase  (iii) a reduction in subsidies on fossil fuels and development of the industrial fabric for Governments, (iv) the creation of income-generating activities for women and youth  and (iv) improvement of population's living conditions.  The project area lies in South Kivu Province in DRC, Ruzizi District in Rwanda and Cibitoke Province in Burundi. Agricultural activity in the project area focuses mainly on food crops. Population pressure, which is very strong in the area, is one of the main reasons for the small size of farms (less than 1 hectare per family). The estimated population of the project area is 615,000.

The overall development objective of the project is to increase access and equity, improve quality and relevance of TVET education and training. The specific objective of the project is to equip youth, at least 50% of them women, with relevant TVET skills for the immediate and emerging labor market needs. The expected project outcome is increased skilled and employable youths. The project’s envisaged results are to contribute to enhanced quality and relevance of TVET programs in line with the TVET Act of 2013 provisions  and to support increased access (enrolment) in engineering and applied sciences TVET Programs to meet the immediate and emerging labour market demands.  The project targets 3000 poor and vulnerable youths, including 300 youths living with disability from across the Country. Of the target youths, at least 50% will be females. The 33 target TVET institutions will benefit from TVETA accreditation for engineering and applied sciences programs thereby increasing their student’s enrolments in these faculties. Upgrading of the four ‘special needs’ TTIs will also benefit Youth with disability to timely access TVET and be empowered towards self-reliance’. The 600 TVET tutors (at least 30% female) will benefit from skills upgrading. MoEST will benefit from an improved TVET information management system that will enable it to make informed planning and policy decisions based on evidence from reliable data. The industry/private sector will benefit from TVET graduates who have relevant skills and also through the required industrial attachments. The Industry will have access to subsidised labour for the specific period. The private sector will greatly benefit from the equipment supply and installation. Overall, the GoK will benefit from a qualified and skilled TVET workforce which will attract foreign investments and steer the country towards the Vision 2030 aspirations for human capital development.

Multinational - Interconnection of the Electric Grids of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Countries. The present operation consists of a supplementary loan of UA 5.840 million to the Republic of Uganda to bridge the financing gap for the Nile Equatorial Lakes Countries Power Interconnection Project. The increase in the cost of the project is mainly due to the unexpected depreciation of the loan currencies against the contract currencies, higher world prices for construction equipment and materials, and changes in project plans. It should be recalled that the original project consisted of the construction of 769 kilometers of 220 and 110 kV transmission lines and 17 transformers to interconnect the power grids of the Nile Equatorial Lakes countries, namely Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, in order to improve energy exchanges between these countries. The Ugandan section of the interconnection project is part of a regional NELSAP project that will address, in the short term, the electricity shortages in the region and, in the longer term, establish an integrated regional grid that will facilitate cross-border electricity trade and improve access to electricity in the Nile lakes countries. The project's success will be facilitated by the additional loan, which will enable it to meet its development objectives.  The NELSAP interconnection project consists of improving the rate of access to electricity for the populations of member countries and enhancing regional electricity trade by interconnecting their respective grids. In addition, implementation of the project will help reduce the price of electricity in the countries concerned, attract investment and enhance global competitiveness. The interconnection of the grids will also allow for the sharing of spare capacity and economies of scale, which will encourage the development of large-scale hydropower plants in the region.  The main beneficiaries of the project will be the people, local communities, enterprises and trading entities, private and governmental institutions in the five countries, which will have increased access to reliable and affordable electric energy for domestic, industrial and commercial use. This will have an immediate positive impact on the competitiveness of investments in the productive sectors of the economy. The countries themselves and their electricity companies will have energy that will contribute to achieving their national objectives of providing access by the people to electricity. Moreover, national development programmes in the areas of education, health, communication, administration, drinking water supply and sanitation will gain in efficiency resulting from the use of electric energy, especially in rural areas that do not have access to modern energy services.

Multinational - 50 Million African Women Speak Networking Platform Project. The project aims to create and deploy a social media platform called "50 million African women have a voice". This Platform, which will have a regional scope, will address the specific problems faced by women, especially women entrepreneurs, namely the lack of education and entrepreneurial training, poor access to finance and financial services, as well as to information. Through this initiative, women in particular will benefit from entrepreneurial training, mentoring, financial services and relevant local business information, while building their own networks of contacts. In its implementation, the project will build on the ubiquity and popularity of mobile phones to reduce the burden of learning and access to information and services, thus enabling women to manage their business and social conditions. The project will also provide an opportunity to collect important statistics on financial inclusion in Africa. The project targets three Regional Economic Communities (RECs), namely the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the East African Community (EAC), and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It will be implemented over a three-year period, starting in 2017, at an estimated total cost of UA 9.8 million.  The development objective of the project is to contribute to the economic empowerment of women by providing a networking platform that would enable them to access information on financial and non-financial services. More specifically, the project aims to create a platform for improving the capacity of women entrepreneurs to network and share information and access financial services.  The project is expected to benefit all women entrepreneurs on the continent, particularly those in the ECOWAS region. The platform will initially target women entrepreneurs in Africa, who generally have great difficulty accessing information on financial and non-financial services, and who are less likely to be part of established business networks or to have mentors who can provide them with the valuable advice and guidance they need to grow their businesses.

Secondary Teachers Training (P). The main objectives of the Project is to expand and supplement the already existing secondary teacher training institutions and thus contribute both in quantity and quality to solution of the supply of adequately trained teachers. With the proposed output of about 900 qualified teachers per year, the project will alleviate the present shortage of trained teachers and conseqently improve the quality and relevance of secondary school instructions.

Multinational - Project for the Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds in West Africa - Mauritania component. The Project for Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds in West Africa (IMIAW) is in line with the Bank’s Vision, which aims to reduce poverty. The project will assist seven countries that are members in ECOWAS and Mauritania as all are sharing the same common weed problem in common water bodies. It has three components: A) Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Plants  B) Capacity Building and C) Project Coordination Unit. Its design is based on a regional approach. Indeed, the invasion of water bodies by aquatic weeds has significantly affected the quantity and the quality of the water resources in West Africa. As most of these waters are shared by more than one country, only a coordinated effort will ensure sustainable and cost effective control of the weeds. The two studies that were prepared in 1995 and 2002 financed by ADB and FAO respectively emphasized the interlinking nature of the problem. Further, past experience in weed control showed that commonly used methods of control when used in isolation (separately) are marginally effective.  The Project objective is to contribute toward controlling the invasive aquatic weeds in four shared water bodies of West Africa and minimizing any residual impact of these weeds.  The project beneficiaries, direct and indirect, will be the whole population of about 201 million of the participating countries. Thus the principal beneficiaries of the project will be: 1) the fishing populations  2) the transporters who operate with boats and those economic operations, which depend on the use of water courses (tourism, navigation)  3) farmers in the irrigated zones  4) the aquatic fauna and flora (animal and plant species) living in the water bodies  5) the water supply services and those charged with hydro-energy production  6) the management and technicians of local and central government  7) ECOWAS and other sub-regional institutions.

Shelter Afrique Diagnostic Study. Lors d'une mission de supervison du projet effectuée en juin 1993, la BAd a cobnstaté que la BDEGL rencontre des difficultés énormes dues à des problèmes de gestion ineterne ainsi qu'à la dégradation de la situation générale dans les pays des Grands Lacs. La BAD a décidé l'arrêt des décaissements de ses lignes de crédit et a demandé le lancement d'un audit général externe de la BDEGL. L'audit réalisé en 1994 par le cabinet ECA EXPERTS COMPTABLES (Cameroun) a étéabli que cette banque avait perdu plus de 90% de son capital pour des raisons esentiellement liées à sa mauvaise gestion. Une Assemblée Générale Extraordinaire a eu lieu en mars 1995. Elle décida le redressement de la BDEGL par la mise en oeuvre d'un programme de restructuration. Une condition fondamentale pour le redressement de la BDEGL est le recouvrement de ses créances notamment les créances garanties par l'Office de la Gestion de la Dette du Zaïre (OGEDEP). Jusqu'à nos jours cette condition n'est pas remplie.

The Gambia and Senegal comprise only 5.5% of beneficiaries. The majority of project beneficiaries are small, low-income village producers.

Multinational - Strengthening Institutions for Risk Management of Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) in the SADC Region (SADC TADs Project). The project to strengthen Transboundary Animal Disease Risk Management (TAD) Institutions within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region has been implemented in five countries (Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia) due to the negative impact of Transboundary Animal Diseases on economic, commercial and / or food security. It is a project aimed at contributing to the enhancement of food security and promoting wealth creation, as well as improving living conditions in rural areas, by progressively eradicating TADs of regional strategic importance, including foot-and-mouth disease and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia  and strengthening the regional capacity for emergency response against the spread of TADs. The total project cost is UA 15.23 million and consists of three components, namely: (i) Networking and Information Sharing  ii) Capacity building and institutions, and iii) Project coordination and management.  The objective of the project is to improve livestock production as a marketable and consumable product, by ensuring the health of animals, more specifically through the strengthening of the detection, identification, monitoring and monitoring of ADRs in the region.  The project beneficiaries are farmers in the SADC region, especially those in the participating countries as well as institutions involved in diagnosis, training, applied research and the fight against TAD.

PROJET DE GESTION DURABLE DU BETAIL RUMINANT ENDEMIQUE EN AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST MALI. The project aims at developing endemic ruminant livestock farming in semi-wetlands of four countries of West Africa (Gambia, Guinea, Mali and Senegal). Its implementation will help preserve the biodiversity of endemic ruminant livestock, remove obstacles impeding their sustainable management and develop the huge potential in the area of livestock breeding in semi-humid areas in West Africa. The project will build the capacities of all stakeholders of the sector, notably mixed farmers, women’s and youth associations, rural communities and government services responsible for research and development. It will allow for the training of 15,050 mixed farmers, including 8,000 women, in animal feeding, reproduction and management as well as the improvement of natural resource management methods. The project will strengthen rural and pastoral infrastructure (160 km of roads improved, 24 water points built, etc.) to provide better access to services and markets. Farmers and stockbreeders will be prepared to sustainably manage endemic ruminants and implement community-based natural-resource-management initiatives. Sustainable natural resource management methods will be adopted and implemented by the communities.  The sector goal is to contribute to the strengthening of food security and poverty reduction in West Africa. The project objective is to preserve the biodiversity of endemic ruminant livestock and improve their productivity.  The prime beneficiaries of the project will be the communities of stockbreeders living in the selected sites whose population, according to estimates made by the countries during the project preparation phase, is 2 314 420. This population is very unevenly distributed between the 240 localities in the four countries concerned because the sites vary in size and population density. The beneficiaries are concentrated mainly in Guinea (1 728 775 inhabitants for an area of 76 450 km²) and to a lesser extent in Mali (152 660 inhabitants for an area of 10 520 km²). The Gambia and Senegal total only 5.5% of the beneficiaries. The majority of the project beneficiaries are small low-income village producers who rather than breaking down their activities choose to view their actions from a broader perspective which takes into account the available assets and constraints faced.

Multinational - Project to Support the Lake Tanganyika Integrated Regional Development Programme (PRODAP). The project to support the Lake Tanganyika Integrated Regional Development Programme (PRODAP) complies with the priorities of the national poverty reduction strategies, the fisheries development framework plan, the code of conduct for responsible fisheries and the strategic action plan for the sustainable management of the Lake. It will help to build national and regional capacities for sustainable management of fishery resources, replenish fish stocks in a sustainable manner in the currently overexploited areas, protect 200,000 ha of catchment areas, contribute to the additional production of 51,500 tonnes of fish, and increase the value of processed fish by 25%. The project consists of four components, namely: (A) Institutional Capacity Building  (B) Fisheries Development and Environmental Protection  (C) Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Local Development  and (D) Project Management. The total cost of the project is estimated at US$ 68.44 million, or UA 46.20 million, exclusive of tax and customs duty.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction in the Lake Tanganyika basin. More specifically, the project aims at (i) improving social and health conditions in the Lake Tanganyika basin, and (ii) improving the food situation of the people.  The project will give priority to the poor and vulnerable communities, whose annual average incomes are estimated at US$ 150. These are mainly 245,000 operators (45,000 fishermen and 200,000 fishmongers, women fish smokers, input suppliers, makers of dugout canoes, labourers, etc.) who are expected to participate in the management of fisheries, protection of the fisheries ecosystem, and improvement of the exploitation and processing conditions of the entire fisheries sub-sector. The project will also benefit the various administrations and NGOs, the intervention capacities of which will be strengthened.

Multinational - Project for the Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds in West Africa - Senegal component. The Project for Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Weeds in West Africa (IMIAW) is in line with the Bank’s Vision, which aims to reduce poverty. The project will assist seven countries that are members in ECOWAS and Mauritania as all are sharing the same common weed problem in common water bodies. It has three components: A) Integrated Management of Invasive Aquatic Plants  B) Capacity Building and C) Project Coordination Unit. Its design is based on a regional approach. Indeed, the invasion of water bodies by aquatic weeds has significantly affected the quantity and the quality of the water resources in West Africa. As most of these waters are shared by more than one country, only a coordinated effort will ensure sustainable and cost effective control of the weeds. The two studies that were prepared in 1995 and 2002 financed by ADB and FAO respectively emphasized the interlinking nature of the problem. Further, past experience in weed control showed that commonly used methods of control when used in isolation (separately) are marginally effective.  The Project objective is to contribute toward controlling the invasive aquatic weeds in four shared water bodies of West Africa and minimizing any residual impact of these weeds.  The project beneficiaries, direct and indirect, will be the whole population of about 201 million of the participating countries. Thus the principal beneficiaries of the project will be: 1) the fishing populations  2) the transporters who operate with boats and those economic operations, which depend on the use of water courses (tourism, navigation)  3) farmers in the irrigated zones  4) the aquatic fauna and flora (animal and plant species) living in the water bodies  5) the water supply services and those charged with hydro-energy production  6) the management and technicians of local and central government  7) ECOWAS and other sub-regional institutions.

Multinational - Project for the Creation of Sustainable tsetse and trypanosomiasis free areas in East and West Africa - Component of Ghana. This project is part of a multinational initiative funded by the Bank with the aim of creating sustainable tsetse free areas in support of the gradual eradication of Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis (T&T) by integrating suppression, control and eradication approaches. This initiative is being implemented in six (6) countries, namely: Ethiopia, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Mali, Kenya and Ghana, each of which has put on the list of activities development priorities of their countries. It is designed to be implemented over a period of six years, with the same sequence of field activities and the same modus operandi in the different areas it covers in each country in order to achieve its goal. The strategy advocates, in all six countries, the diversification and strengthening of the agricultural economic base for rural subsistence farmers, and the creation of jobs. The project in Ethiopia is developed within the context of the government’s Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Programme (SDPRP, 2002-2005) and National Agricultural Policy and Strategy of the country. The project is also consistent with subsequent National Plans, i.e. Plan for Accelerated and Sustainable Development to End Poverty (PASDEP, 2006-2010) and the ongoing Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP, 2011-2015).The project consists of three closely related technical components, as well as a support component. It is: (i) Suppression and Eradication  (ii) Strengthening of national capacities  (iii) Sustainable Land Management and (iv) Project Coordination and Management. Its implementation will clear 13 million hectares of tsetse flies and trypanosomiasis. The project will also train 600 technical staff, 1,800 extension workers, 3,600 village technicians and 1,200 village leaders.  The project development objective is to contribute to improved food security and reduce poverty. This project is specifically aimed at providing critical support towards the elimination of tse-tse flies and trypanosomiasis in the country through to make fundamental change in direction from nationally focused control to once-for-all continent–wide eradication.  The primary beneficiaries of the project will be peasant communities living in tsetse-infested areas that include an estimated 14.8 million farming families. The main beneficiaries will be the 242,850 smallholders who practice the mixed agricultural production system, 45% of whom are women. Most beneficiaries of the project, with regard to the livestock component, will be owners of small ruminants. A number of service providers will benefit from the project through training. Among them are agricultural extension agents and specialized technicians. Beneficiaries will also be in the second position, people living on the periphery of the areas concerned and who are also at risk. The second group of beneficiaries will include transportation companies, agricultural and livestock merchants, ranchers, hunters, and so on.

Multinational - Reforestation of degraded areas and development of non-timber forest products in the Sanaga Maritime region. This contribution relates to the reforestation of degraded areas and development of non-timber forest products in the Sanaga Maritime (CAMECON) project. This project is part of the Cameroon government's policy to establish sustainable management of forest and environmental resources by involving all stakeholders in their management. The project was conceived because of the limitations of the predominant focus on timber in community forests, which has often been a source of gender inequity, conflict and status quo, to the detriment of integrated resource management that takes into account all available resources. It forms part of the Forest and Environment Sector Programme (PSFE) of the Ministry of Forests and Wildlife. Specifically in: (i) component 2: "Management of production forests and development of forest products" and (ii) component 3: "Conservation of biodiversity and development of wildlife products".  The objective of this project is to promote sustainable participatory management of the reforestation of degraded areas of community forests, and the domestication and exploitation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) in southern Cameroon.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the forest populations in the target areas.

ABN-PROGRAMME DE LUTTE CONTRE L'ENSABLEMENT. The Program to combat sand encroachment in the Niger River Basin (PLCE / ABN) is justified by the political will of the NBA Member States to provide a regional response to one of the serious problems in terms of safeguarding, protection and sustainable development of the resources of the Niger Basin. Thus conceived, the first phase of the PLCE / ABN for a period of five (5) years must respond to the urgency to undertake major actions to fight effectively and sustainably against silting in the area most affected by silting, namely the Sahelo-Saharan triangle located in the middle Niger basin including the Niger loop in Mali, the north-east of the basin in Burkina Faso and the right bank of the river in Niger upstream from Niamey, and the need to support and strengthen the structures of the NBA at regional and national levels. The main challenge expected from this program is to halt or even reduce the phenomenon of silting and water erosion at the scale of the basin through the realization of coordinated and concerted actions of the various member countries of the NBA while strengthening the capacities of the NBA and its member countries and providing them with tools for designing and planning actions to protect against water erosion and fight against silting. To meet this challenge, the actions of the program will have to contribute: (i) strengthening the sub regional and national institutional capacities of the ANB and its Member States with a view to concerted management of the shared resources of the basin, (ii) mitigating the effects of desertification and slowing the process of silting in the Niger basin, (iii) support to NBA Member States to implement their national programs to combat silting and water and wind erosion, and (iv) strengthening the membership and involvement of local populations in the implementation of the Program.  The sectoral objective of the program to combat siltation in the Niger Basin (PLCE / ABN) is to contribute to the participatory and sustainable safeguarding of water and soil resources in the Niger River Basin. The specific objective of the program is to help stop the silting process of the Niger River against optimal agricultural production.  The program's actions will directly reach 150,000 people engaged in agro-pastoral activities in its intervention area with the creation of around 15,000 direct jobs. The other beneficiaries of the program are the local populations directly and closely associated with the implementation of the program, the number of which would be 350,000, including 200,000 in Mali, and around 75,000 in Burkina Faso and Niger. The NBA Secretariat and the partner structures of its State focal points, whose human, financial and logistical resources are strengthened, are among the other indirect beneficiaries of the program.

CBFF - Phasing out slash-and-burn farming with Biochar. The project aims to phase out slash-and-burn farming by transitioning to a slash-and-char system that improves the quasi-infertile tropical soils by amending them with biochar. Biochar is a carbon-rich product obtained from the pyrolyais of biomass, which, by its micro porous and physico-chemical nature, improves sequestered into soils, soil fertility can be maintained, crop yields can be increased, and the slash-and-burn cycle can be short-circuited.  The project is located in a region where farm soils are the oxisols typical for the humid tropics. This pilot phase aims to demonstrate the feasibility of the biochar concept, so that it can be replicated in other farming communities at the forest frontier. To achieve this, the partners introduce three implementation bundles, which, together, generate an integrated synergy. If the project demonstrates the feasibility of the biochar-concept, the soil improvement technique and its integrated socio-economic benefits can be replicated relatively rapidely amongst similar rural communities living and working at the forest margins in the Congo Basin.  The 'super-objective' is the creation of the conditions needed to facilitate a sustainable form of rural living at the tropical forest margin, by transforming modernist modes of production into postmodernist modes. The primary objective is eliminating or slowing down the slash-and-burn cycle, the depletion of soils, and the resulting low agricultural production which perpetuates hunger and poverty.  The beneficiaries of the project are the farmers living at the forest frontier in Pima, and by extension similar rural communities in the Congo Basin, who will profit from the implementation routines developed during this project. The pilot phase will focus on 200 subsistence farming families living in villages at the edge of the forest.

CBFF  - Alternatives to Mangrove Destruction for Women's Livelihoods in Central Africa. This project focuses on the restoration of degraded mangroves in the African equatorial forest. Through this project, OPED aims to transform the local fishing industry by providing energy-efficient solutions for cutting trees to smoke fish, the main factor in the loss of mangrove forests in the region. The project addresses the concerns of reducing human pressure on mangroves and increasing the resilience of women. Indeed, the UNEP report on the state of mangroves in West Africa (2007, 1980-2006) indicates that Cameroon is losing more than 3000 ha of mangroves per year over a total area of ??about 200 000 ha (about 1.1%). Statistics attribute 80% of mangrove losses to fish smoking practices, the main livelihood activity of women in Cameroon's coastal zone. The project is thus promoting new treatment techniques that ensure the regeneration and conservation of local mangrove forests while reducing the time spent on wood research and the frequency of respiratory diseases.  The project core objective is to conserve the ability of mangrove forests to deliver livelihood and ecosystem services.  The main beneficiaries are Women living in mangrove areas.

RENFORCEMENT INSTITUTIONNEL A LA BDEGL. Lors d'une mission de supervison du projet effectuée en juin 1993, la BAd a cobnstaté que la BDEGL rencontre des difficultés énormes dues à des problèmes de gestion ineterne ainsi qu'à la dégradation de la situation générale dans les pays des Grands Lacs. La BAD a décidé l'arrêt des décaissements de ses lignes de crédit et a demandé le lancement d'un audit général externe de la BDEGL. L'audit réalisé en 1994 par le cabinet ECA EXPERTS COMPTABLES (Cameroun) a étéabli que cette banque avait perdu plus de 90% de son capital pour des raisons esentiellement liées à sa mauvaise gestion. Une Assemblée Générale Extraordinaire a eu lieu en mars 1995. Elle décida le redressement de la BDEGL par la mise en oeuvre d'un programme de restructuration. Une condition fondamentale pour le redressement de la BDEGL est le recouvrement de ses créances notamment les créances garanties par l'Office de la Gestion de la Dette du Zaïre (OGEDEP). Jusqu'à nos jours cette condition n'est pas remplie.

Multinational - Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea (CLSG) Electricity Networks Interconnection Project. The Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea (CLSG) Electricity Networks Interconnection Project involves the construction of a 1,357-km-long double circuit high voltage (225 kV) line to connect the national networks of the four countries. The construction of this line is part of the backbone of the Mano River Union countries and the priority projects of the West African Power Pool (WAPP) Master Plan. The project, estimated at an overall cost of UA 331.51 million, net of taxes, will be implemented over the 2014-2017 period. The contribution of the Bank Group (ADF, FSF and NTF) amounts to UA 128.15 million (or 38.66% of the total cost).  The project will help establish a dynamic electric power market in the West African sub-region and secure power supply for participating countries which have a comparative advantage in importing power rather than producing it at high costs using their national systems. The project consists mainly in the construction of a high voltage interconnection network linking Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Other activities related to the construction of infrastructure are also envisaged, including the electrification of localities situated along the power line, capacity building for WAPP and the countries, conduct of studies on the planning and feasibility of hydroelectric power stations to strengthen energy trade and the project management. The project implementation will help complete the WAPP interconnection network and enhance power supply security by 290 MW.  The project's direct beneficiaries are the residents of its impact area (24 million inhabitants) who will have reliable electric power at competitive cost. The project will raise the average electricity access rate in the four countries from 28% in 2012 to 33% by 2017. The increased electricity access will generally contribute to improving the welfare of the beneficiaries and lead to the development of social and income-generating activities. More particularly, the project will electrify about 115 communities located along the power line and supply electric power to 70 schools, 30 health centres, and approximately 1,500 small handicrafts, commercial and industrial businesses, 25% of which are operated by women. These achievements will help improve the performance of schools and health’s services, as well as increase the incomes of the people. The project will have direct spin-offs on national power corporations whose financial situation will improve as a result of the savings on production costs and the increased income generated by exporting countries.

Multinational - Nigeria-Togo-Benin Power System Interconnexion Project. The NEPA – CEB Multinational Power Interconnection Project is part of a much wider project, which will allow greater power exchange between countries of the West African sub-region. The project will supply electricity from Nigeria to Togo and Benin through a 330 kV transmission line. On the Nigerian side, the line will be connected to the existing Ikeja West 330 kV substation, where electricity is directly supplied from NEPA and privately owned power stations. On the Togo/Benin side, the line will end at the newly erected Sakete substation in Benin where it will feed a transformer, which will step down the voltage from 330 kV to 161 kV for connection to the existing CEB 161 kV transmission lines. The electricity will then be transported, by the CEB transmission grid, to various parts of Togo and Benin and, in limited quantities, to Ghana through the lines presently used for import by the CEB. The project consists of the following components: (i) construction of a 330 kV transmission line with a length of 70 km from Ikeja in Nigeria to Sakete in Benin, (ii) extension of an existing 330 kV substation at Ikeja and construction of a new 330/161 kV substation in Sakete, (iii) mitigation of environmental and social impacts, (iv) provision of consultancy services and (v) project management. Its implementation will create a big electricity market across national boundaries, thereby encouraging private investors to build gas-fired power stations in Nigeria for electricity generation and export. The 330 kV line will later be extended to Togo, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, where it will be connected to the existing transmission grids in those countries. The total cost, net of taxes, is estimated at US$ 46.59 million (UA 35.02 million).  The objectives of the project are to (i) provide an alternate source of power supply to Togo and Benin in order to meet their shortfall in electricity imports from Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire and improve voltage on the CEB transmission network  (ii) reduce power outages in Togo and Benin during drought years and thus limit economic and social hardships on the population of the two countries  and (iii) link the electricity grid of Nigeria to the already connected grids of Benin, Togo, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso thereby improving reliability of supply and optimising production cost within the sub region.  The electricity from the project will be used by all consumer categories in the country including industrial, commercial and domestic consumers mainly in major towns in the southern part of the country.

Multinational - OMVS (Mali-Mauritania-Senegal): Manantali Energy Project. The Manantali Energy Project is still a priority for the OMVS member states and is consistent with the Bank’s strategic objective of promoting economic integration within its member countries. This project, which will ensure least cost electrical energy supply, is in keeping with the Bank's strategic vision for the development of the regional member countries.  The project is a high priority for the three countries concerned.  The economies of these three countries (Mali, Mauritania, Senegal) are severely penalized by the high cost of electricity produced mainly from imported fossil fuels the supply of which is not secure.  This project should serve as an example of success of efforts aimed at regional integration of basic infrastructure.  The aim of the project is to supply electricity, at a lower cost (about 27 FCFA / kWh), from Mali, Senegal and Mauritania from a hydroelectric plant equipped with 5 groups of 40 MW each, with a average annual yield of 804 GWh. It will create a high-voltage network for transporting and exchanging electricity between the three countries.  The OMVS member states will benefit from the project.

Multinational - Ghana-Togo-Benin 330 kV electricity interconnection project. The proposed project, which is part of the West Africa Power Pooling Programme, involves the construction of a 338 kV transmission line between Sakete in Benin and the Volta substation near Tema in Ghana, via Togo. It also includes the extension of the Sakete and Volta-Tema substations as well as the construction of a new substation in Mome Hagou, Togo. The West Africa Power Pooling Programme will enable the emergence of a unified electricity market in ECOWAS through the establishment of interconnections between the electricity grids of its member countries. Interconnections such as the Ghana-Togo-Benin transmission line will enable the flow of energy between countries capable of producing hydropower at lower cost and countries where electricity supply currently depends on thermal power stations powered by expensive imported oil. The project will increase transmission capacity between Nigeria, Benin, Togo and Ghana, thus facilitating the exchange of electricity, which is expected to increase the reliability of electricity supply and reduce transaction costs. By enabling power exchange, the interconnections will also enable utilities in the region to optimally manage the use of scarce water resources during drought periods. The total cost of the power line connection project is estimated at UA 71.34 million, equivalent to US$ 115.6 million.  The project aims at providing power interconnection between the Zone A countries of the EEEAO/WAPP, namely Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. It is a key factor that would promote electric power trade between the countries, and is the first interconnection phase to development and rationalize the use of diversified sources of electric power supply in West Africa.  The project beneficiaries are Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Benin, Nigeria and Ghana.

Multinational - Statistical Capacity Building Program, Phase V (SCB-5). The fifth phase of the Statistical Capacity Building Program (SCB-5) was designed in response to the deterioration of the National Statistical Institutes (NSOs), particularly those in the transitional states since the onset of COVID-19. The pandemic has not only disrupted field operations for data collection in previously planned surveys and censuses that have had to be postponed, but it has also reduced allocated budgets as scarce financial resources were shifted to saving lives, protecting livelihoods and reviving economies. The SCB aims to build an efficient African statistical system that generates reliable, harmonized and timely statistical information covering political, economic, social, environmental, climate and cultural development dimensions to support the African integration agenda. The fifth SCB is anchored on many years of accumulated practical experience and incremental value addition to the African Statistical System. It comprises five main components namely: (1) improving the availability and quality of economic statistics, including the measurement of the COVID-19 impact  (2) improving the quality and availability of Social Statistics and reporting on COVID-19  (3) Data Collection, Management and Dissemination  (4) Strategic Planning, Systems Development, Coordination and Training as well as (5) Project Management.  The purpose of the program is Statistical Capacity Building across all 37 Low-Income and ADF RMCs plus all RECs, STCs and AFRISTAT.  The direct beneficiaries from the project are the National Statistical Systems (NSSs) across Africa, all the Regional Economic Communities (RECs), the Sub-regional Organizations (SROs), Statistical Training Centers (STCs) and AFRISTAT. Among other beneficiaries are development partners across RMCs and regional levels, including the Bank. Other indirect beneficiaries are all the people of Africa, who will benefit from improved statistical capacity and resultant reliable and timely statistics.

Rift Valley Water Supply & Sanitation. Nakuru, Kenya's fourth largest city is a major industrial and tourist centre. However, water supply problems have impacted negatively on the livelihoods of the residents resulting in scaling down and relocation of some industries. The GoK thus requested the Bank Group to fund a feasibility study for a medium term project for water supply and sanitation and a prefeasibility study for long term interventions. The mid-term project was approved in July 2004 and seeks to improve water supply and sanitation services in urban, peri urban and rural communities under the Rift Valley Water Services Board's jurisdiction.  GOK’s goal for the water supply and sanitation sector is to improve the social well being of the populace, enhance the performance of the national economy and ensure equitable provision of adequate quantity and quality of water and sanitation services to all competing user groups at affordable cost on a sustainable basis. The project objective is to improve water supply and sanitation services in urban, peri-urban and rural communities within the service area of the Rift Valley Water Services Board (RVWSB). The project comprises (a) institutional support to RVWSB and NAWASSCO to build their capacities for carrying out their respective roles under the Water Act (2002)  (ii) rehabilitation of the existing urban water and sanitation facilities in Nakuru to reduce the high levels of Unaccounted-for-Water, currently estimated at 70%, augment capacity through development of new source works, and extend services to the unserved peri-urban areas  (iii) address the needs of
secondary towns under the RVWSB by studying feasible management options for the water schemes currently operated by National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation and the Department for Water Development, and facilitate the transfer of these services to the RVWSB and
its contracted Water Services Providers in accordance with the Water Act  determine their short and medium term investment needs and implement the short-term investment program  (iv) determine the rural water supply and sanitation needs of the region and develop a programme based on the demand responsive approach.  The project area covers the Rift Valley Water Services Board service area, which constitutes 7 of 19 districts in the Rift Valley province. The Province has a population of about 7 million and stretches from the north-western tip to the south west of the country. The service area of the RVWSB has a population of about 2.88 million inhabitants (1999 Census), 22% or 643,122 live in urban areas and 78% in rural.

Multinational - Programme for Improving Fisheries Governance and Blue Economy Trade Corridors in SADC Region. The Program for Improving Fisheries Governance and Blue Economy Trade Corridors (PROFISHBLUE) covers sixteen countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). SADC boasts of thriving fishing enterprises with interconnected trade corridors that spans the Atlantic and Indian Oceans for centuries. Currently, the 16 member countries of SADC region boast of two large marine ecosystems (LMEs) that are abound with rich transboundary fisheries resources comprising of multiple marine commercial species of tuna, hake, squids, octopus, horse mackerel, abalone, shrimps, prawns, and lobsters. The interior land-locked regions are also home to several transboundary rivers and lakes. Despite the resource abundance owning to a large diverse species and raw material supply, the total production is very low below 3 million tonnes, which is 2% of global production. The interventions comprise of conservation planning in the natural ecosystems, fishing and harvesting strategies (from fish farms, lakes, rivers and oceans), to provision of inputs and services, processing and marketing infrastructure, as well as the provision of regional conformity assessment and standardization programs. This will promote competitiveness in the retail and wholesale fish trade as well as facilitate cross-border trade providing an estimated 250,000 direct and indirect jobs. Moreover, the project will support institutional capacity building for climate resilience through information service provisioning, climate buffers and ecosystem service synergies, and resource mobilization towards adaptation and mitigation. The project will be implemented over a 4-year period (2022-2025) with an estimated cost of UA 8.09 million.  The project aims to promote sustainable management of fisheries resources within the blue economy context in order to improve food and nutritional security, create employment through value chain activities, facilitate intra-regional trade, and build adaptive capacity.  The direct beneficiaries of this operation are regional and national public entities and institutions in their overall administration as well as value chain actors (fishers, fish farmers, processors, retailers, wholesalers, transporters, consumers, etc.). Training programs will be provided to value chain actors at multiple fronts along the fish chain, especially women and youth SMEs.

Chad - Trans-Saharan Highway Project (TSH) - (Supplementary Grant). The Trans-Saharan Highway (TSH) project is one of the priority projects of the Infrastructure Development Programme in Africa (PAP-PIDA). The project targets: (i) the development and asphalting of the missing segments of the main road and the Chad branch of the TSH, over a total length of 565 km  (ii) the construction of a 543-metre bridge over the Niger River at Farié with 3 km of access roads  and (iii) the construction of infrastructure to facilitate transport and transit at the Algerian/Niger and Niger/Chad borders. The TSH is strategic for Niger and Chad, with a view to improving their external and internal accessibility. Project implementation progress is fairly satisfactory in both countries. In Niger, works on the two lots of the Arlit-Assamaka section (225 km) are 72% and 78% complete respectively, while the bridge at Farie is over 80% complete. Related works are almost done. With the exception of the the Liwa-RigRig stretch (53 km where no financing has been received), progress on the other road sections is steady, with rates of 100% for the Massakory-Ngouri section (85 km), 37.88% for the Ngouri-Bol section (100 km) and nearly 38% for the RigRig-Daboua-Niger border section. This gives a consolidated rate of around 48%. This supplementary financing will contribute to the completion of works on the RigRig-Daboua-Niger border section and the development of the so-far-unfinanced Liwa-RigRig section, thereby completing the funding required for the work on this important corridor in Chad. The updated cost, net of taxes and customs duties, of the supplementary financing in Chad is estimated at UA 76.88 million, equivalent to CFAF 59.73 billion. The implementation of the entire programme will span an estimated period of thirty (30) months, from January 2022 to June 2024.  The sector objective of the initial project is to contribute to the development of trade by road and regional integration between AMU, ECOWAS and ECCAS, in general, and Algeria, Niger and Chad, in particular. The specific objectives are to: (i) improve the level of service of the TSH  (ii) reduce transport and logistics time and costs on the Algiers-Niamey, Algiers-Ndjamena, Niamey-Ndjamena and Niger-Burkina Faso-Mali road segments  and (iii) improve the living conditions of the populations in the project area. No change has been made to the programme’s sector and specific objectives, the cost of which is included in the cost of the hitherto unfunded Liwa-RigRig road section. This supplementary grant has also not led to any change in the initial programme components.  All users of the Trans-Sahara Road will directly or indirectly benefit from economic and social benefits, but mainly residents of the PIA, which comprises 32 regions crossed, 74 built-up areas served, and spans an area of 4.4 million km² and has a population of 60 million inhabitants shared between Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Chad and Nigeria.

Specifically, the project will establish a maritime communications system for safety on Lake Victoria, including the implementation of a maritime safety coordination centre and search and rescue centres on the Lake, and produce a maritime transport strategy for the East African Community (EAC).  The beneficiaries of the project are the people of the Lake Victoria Basin. These, for the most part, are involved in several activities in support of their livelihoods including fishing, farming, bee keeping, trading activities, quarrying and sand harvesting’ and mining of gold and other minerals.

Kenya - Kisumu District Primary Schools Water and Sanitation Project. The African Water Facility (AWF) is an initiative led by the African Ministers? Council on Water (AMCOW), to support the achievement of the objectives of the African Water Vision (AWV) and the more immediate Millennium Development Goals on water and sanitation (WSS). AWF supported a partnership of Horizont3000 and Support for Tropical Initiatives in Poverty Alleviation (STIPA) to undertake the Kisumu Primary Schools Water and Sanitation Project in line with its focus. The project?s objectives were consistent with the commitment of the Government of Kenya (GoK) to achieve the MDGs of universal primary education as well as access to improved water supply and improved sanitation.  Kenya?s Nyanza Province, of which Kisumu District is a part, has some of the worst socioeconomic indicators in the country, notably: the highest incidence of poverty (60%), highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS (14%), highest infant and child mortality rates. It is also among the lowest in coverage for water (27%) and sanitation (10%). On a positive note, the province has a high primary school attendance (86.3%) which is above the national average (78.8%). However WSS facilities in schools are inadequate and unsuitable local conditions and insufficient budgeting means that school children?s health is often at risk. The €235,806 Kisumu Project was designed to contribute to addressing these concerns and to draw lessons for subsequent interventions. The 3 key objectives of the project were: (i) improved knowledge about hygiene and environmental sanitation in the institutions and in households  ((ii) improved access to water supply and pilot ECOSAN in 6 selected schools in Kisumu District / Kenya  and (iii) improved capacity to manage, maintain and scale up the project model in the district and beyond. Natural conditions in the Kisumu area – reasonable rainfall, frequent flooding, unstable soils – justified the choice of ECOSAN and Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) to deliver cost-effective and improved water and sanitation facilities to the selected primary schools. There were 3,200 pupils and 75 teachers in 6 primary schools who were direct beneficiaries of the Kisumu Project, whilst in total over 30,000 people benefited in the 6 communities were impacted through sanitation and hygiene promotion.  Kenya?s Nyanza Province, of which Kisumu District is a part.

Multinational - Domestic debt markets development in the West African Monetary Zone. The proposed operation is a technical assistance and capacity building project to be financed by a grant under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility. It complements the Bank’s previous intervention to reform the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) Payment Systems used by the Central Banks of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. This project seeks to help diversify the investor base by supporting the development of a framework for mutual funds, insurance, pension funds etc. and establishment of a primary dealership systemin order to contribute in freeing up banks’ resources for the financing of the real sector. It proposes to review the status of the debt markets in the four countries to identify characteristics and varying levels of development to establish a robust roadmap and action plan for debt market development. The project has been designed to encompass three components(i) improvement of debt market infrastructure  (ii) Strengthening of domestic debt markets  and (iii) project management. It is focused on three key areas: (i) creation of an enabling environment for domestic resource mobilisation  (ii) technical assistance for the upgrading and/or modernisation of debt markets infrastructure  and (iii) sensitisation and financial education for investors in debt markets. The estimated project implementation period is 3 years from June 2020 to June 2023. The total cost is UA 1.5 million.  The project’s overall objective is to strengthen the capacity of the four West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) Member countries, to manage domestic debt through the development of their debt securities (bond) markets. The project is expected to enhance the development of the financial markets in the four Member States in order to improve financing development. The project’s specific objectives are to: (i) deepen primary markets and short-tenured instruments  (ii) enhance debt securities market infrastructure  (iii) support development of longer-tenured instruments  (iv) improve the debt market operational system  (v) facilitate deepening of secondary debt markets  and(iv) broaden the investor base.  The Project aims to benefit all participants particularly in the debt and financial markets of the beneficiary WAMZ Member States (Republic of The Gambia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea), including national regulators and institutions and the general public in the region. The direct beneficiaries will be the Central Banks, Ministries of Finance and the financial system in general. The capacity of personnel of the different ministries and central banks will also be developed through training on the various elements of debt management. Indirectly, the project will benefit the private sector, especially financial institutions and institutional investors that participate the primary debt markets  households and any economic agent that interact with credit and debt markets. This will, in part, be as a result of improvement in intermediation and transformation of savings for investment in support of economic development in the four countries  and enhancing the countries readiness to meet the macroeconomic convergence criteria for regional financial integration.

Multinational - Regional Covid-19 Response for East Africa, Horn of Africa and Union of the Comoros. The proposed programme will support the Eastern and Horn of African Member States and the Union of Comoros, response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, East and Horn of Africa region reported around 8600 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 259 deaths. The distribution is changing rapidly and varies by country  Burundi (42) and Comoros (34), Djibouti (1618), Eritrea (39), Ethiopia (365), Kenya (963), Rwanda (308), Uganda (260), Tanzania (509), Seychelles (11), Somalia (1502), South Sudan (282) and Sudan (2728). The public health interventions to contain COVID-19 have one thing in common—reducing economic and social activities, with households and businesses losing income and the government losing tax revenue. The countries also developed COVID-19 multisectoral emergency and medium-term response plans of an estimated budget of US$100 billion. Member states’ capacity to respond to COVID-19 is further constrained by locust invasion from late 2019 that affected nine countries and continue to damage crops on a large scale. The Indian Ocean Dipole that resulted in flooding across several East African countries in 2019 has also constrained countries capacity. The operation will strengthen pandemic rapid response by enhancing laboratory testing capacity, strengthening surveillance and early detection of future pandemics. The total cost of the programme is UA 7,000,000. Based on the current epidemiological profile of the COVID-19 outbreak and the technical knowledge base available, the operation will support the following initiatives: (i) Containing the Spread of COVID19. Specifically, the component will support provision of equipment and supplies and training of health workers. (ii) Strengthening Regional Coordination. The component will support activities to strengthen the coordination by the RECs response to reinforce regional surveillance systems to control cross-border transmissions while safeguarding cross-border trade flows and crews. (iii) Programme Management. The component will support activities critical for ensuring effective and efficient management of the Programme activities.  The overall objective of the operation is to reduce the incidence and mortality in the Eastern African region due to COVID-19 pandemic and other disease outbreaks.

Multinational - Support to the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis Response in the SADC Region. The proposed project is a grant of UA 6.5 million to Southern African Development Community (SADC) Secretariat to finance implementation of Support to the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis Response, in six (6) ADF Beneficiary Countries in the SADC Region. The cases of COVID-19 in the beneficiary countries are mostly concentrated in large urban areas and major points of entry. The implementation of lockdowns and limited movement of people between towns and rural areas within countries has ensured limited spread of the virus to rural populations. There is already emerging evidence that the implementation of lockdowns is having a devastating impact on the livelihoods of informal sector workers and traders in urban areas with no savings and limited state social security and safety nets. Based on the current epidemiological profile of the COVID-19 outbreak and the technical knowledge base available, this ADF assistance will include the following components: (i) Strengthen SADC Beneficiary Countries capacity to respond to COVID-19 Pandemic  (ii) Reinforce Regional Coordination of SADC Member States’ mitigation measures against the regional spread of COVID-19. This is a regional project that will be implemented in the form of a Regional Public Good (RPG) over eighteen (18) months starting in June 2020 and closing in December 2021. The operation was appraised in April 2020 following a request from the SADC Secretariat on 8 April 2020 for the Fund to assist with the SADC COVID-19 pandemic crisis response. The project design followed the Bank Group's COVID-19 Pandemic Response Facility (CRF) and considered good practice principles on conditionality and the support that the Bank is already providing to Regional Member Countries (RMCs).  The main goal of this grant proposal is to support Six (6) SADC ADF Beneficiary Countries to contain the spread of the COVID-19 and mitigate its impacts through support to institutional strengthening and provision of medical supplies and equipment (laboratory equipment and supplies including testing kits, personal protective equipment and case management equipment (including non-invasive ventilators) while maintaining effective provision of other health and medical services to the population at national level. The specific objectives of the program are: (i) increase the availability of Personal Protective Equipment in Beneficiary Countries for front-line health care workers, community health workers and other essential workers to minimize the adverse health impact of COVID-19 on these critical categories of providers  (ii) increase the availability of testing kits in Beneficiary Countries to quickly detect cases of COVID-19, isolate and treat them to break the chain of transmission for the disease  and (iii) reinforce SADC Secretariat’s capacity to coordinate pandemic response measures in Beneficiary Countries.  The Bank’s assistance will support the ADF eligible SADC Beneficiary Countries, namely: (Lesotho, Malawi, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe) to mitigate and effectively respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The assistance will strengthen epidemic preparedness and response of the beneficiary countries to facilitate early detection of COVID-19, and response to potential future threats arising from communicable disease epidemics and pandemics. The direct beneficiaries will be front line health workers and border officials in the beneficiary countries who will be protected from infection with PPE, the populations of the beneficiary countries and the SADC Secretariat. The indirect beneficiaries will be the populations of the SADC Beneficiary Countries who share borders with the beneficiary countries through measures to reduce cross border transmission and coordination of implementation of these measures by the SADC Secretariat.

Kenya - Nairobi-Thika Highway Improvement Project. The sector goals of the project are to: i) contribute to improve the accessibility, affordability, and reliability of the transport infrastructure system to promote economic growth and socio' economic development in Kenya  and ii) contribute to regional integration in the eastern and horn of Africa regions. The objectives of the project are: (i) Improve road transport services along the Nairobi-Thika corridor and enhance urban mobility within the metropolitan area by reducing traffic congestion  (ii) Contribute to the development of a sustainable urban public transit system for the Nairobi Metropolitan Area  and (iii) Promote private sector participation in the management, operation, and financing of road infrastructure in Kenya.

Multinational - Support ton Investment Promotion Agencies in Transition Countries Pilot Project: Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia. The proposed operation is a technical assistance of UA 2,310,420 for the Investment Promotion Agency Pilot Support Project in the transition countries. Despite the importance of the private sector activities, especially FDI inflows in creating jobs and supporting economic growth, the institutional weaknesses prevent the maximization of such investments. The project seeks to ameliorate this challenge (a) through targeted capacity building of the Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency, the Liberia National Investment Commission and The Gambia Investment and Export Promotion Agency and (b) generating quality investment leads from agreed external source investment markets. This program, initially conceived as comprising of 3 individual country projects, now proposes a single composite project for reasons of economy, opportunities for cross-learning and the similarity of activities to be undertaken. The project will directly benefit each country’s Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) and other relevant ministries and government bodies, local private enterprises and the general population, through enhanced employment and wealth-creating opportunities. It will be implemented over a period of 3 years, with the third year involving limited remote mentoring of around one day per week.  The purpose of the technical assistance (TA) project is to support each country’s IPA in implementing their strategic plans. Based on an assessment of each country’s comparative advantages, the current priority sectors for investment will be evaluated and confirmed, but the project will also examine the potential of other sectors for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The project will strengthen the institutional and human capacity of each IPA to identify and assess the most promising investment opportunities and provide tailored facilitation and investor services to attract increased levels of investment to the country. The project will reach out to all stakeholders engaged in supporting FDI in each country, including development partners, philanthropic organizations and embassies, while also engaging with civil society.  Direct Project Beneficiaries are: (1) Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SLIEPA)/Liberia National Investment Commission (LNIC) and The Gambia Investment and Export Promotion Agency (GIEPA)  (2) Other relevant ministries and government bodies, local private and public enterprises  (3) The people of Sierra Leone, Liberia and The Gambia, through enhanced employment and wealth-creating opportunities.

Multinational - Crisis Response Support Programme for National and Regional Mitigation of Covid-19 Impact (Djibouti and Somalia) - Djibouti Component. The proposed intervention focuses on the Djibouti component of the Crisis Response Support Programme for National and Regional Mitigation of COVID-19 Impact for the Republics of Djibouti and Somalia. The operation is designed as Crisis Response Budget Support under the Bank Group COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). It is in the form of an ADF-15 Performance Based Allocation (PBA) grant of UA 3 million, and Regional Operations Envelope (RO) grant of UA 27 Million. The programme will be implemented over one-year period from July 2020 to July 2021 in order to support countries ‘mitigation plans, including measures to tackle the COVID-19 regional spill-over impacts. Djibouti and Somalia represent 19.46% of total COVID-19 cases in the IGAD Region as of 16/07/20203. While Djibouti has the third highest contamination rate in Africa with 5 cases per 1000 and the highest rate in the Horn of Africa (due to population size), Somalia has the third highest death rate of the Region and a case fatality rate of 3% of total confirmed cases. The absolute numbers are misleading, due to low testing: Djibouti has tested 5.3% of the population (9.5% of those tested had the virus), while Somalia has tested only 0.3% (53% had the virus). Both countries are facing similar challenges due to the spread of COVID-19, which is negatively impacting health, livelihoods, economic stability, bilateral cross-border trade as well as trade with their common neighbours in the Horn of Africa (HoA). The programme is a response to the requests from both Governments dated 28 May 2020 (Somalia) and 30 May 2020 (Djibouti), which emphasized the need for support in their joint efforts to address the crisis, through regional cooperation. It is part of the broader commitment among countries participating under the Horn of Africa Initiative and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) frameworks to coordinate their COVID-19 responses and mitigation efforts. The program consists of three mutually reinforcing components which will be implemented through a coordinated approach and mainstreamed measures targeting cross-borders impacts of the pandemic: (1) strengthening the health system for an effective response  (2) strengthening livelihoods and social protection  and (3) protecting the labour force productivity and economic activities against COVID-19 shocks.  The proposed operation will contribute to the sanitary, humanitarian, social and economic response of Djibouti and Somalia, in order to mitigate the national and regional impacts of the pandemic and build the resilience of the countries during and after the crisis. The programme will (i) support health responses in both countries, by upgrading health systems ‘capacities to prevent, detect and respond to COVID-19 and to any future health crisis, with an emphasis on health workers capacity development  (ii) reinforce livelihoods and social protection mechanisms through scaling-up of safety nets, including cash transfers and distribution of water and food to vulnerable groups  (iii) protect economic activities by focusing on tax and financial measures to support the private sector and relying on fiscal balance and accountability.  The measures supported by this programme have a broad spectrum of influence in areas which impact the entire population in Djibouti, Somalia and beyond. Indeed, support for the health response will benefit all populations threatened by COVID-19 and to the labour force in the health sector. Social protection aspects will strengthen the livelihoods for 100 000 households in Djibouti and in Somalia, with a special emphasis on vulnerable groups like women, IDPs and refugees. Activities related to economic resilience will directly benefit 100 and 43 enterprises respectively in Djibouti and Somalia, as well as workers directly depending on jobs provided by these enterprises. Public institutions and workers in the health and social sectors, as well as central administrations in charge of economic management, will directly benefit from the supports provided under this programme that will support the implementation of their respective work programmes.

Kenya - Timboroa-Eldoret Road Rehabilitation Project. The Timboroa – Eldoret Road Rehabilitation Project is part of the Northern Transport Corridor international road, one of the Government?s priority corridors. The project involves the rehabilitation of 73 km of road section. This road was reconstructed in 1992 with bituminous surfacing and currently operates beyond capacity, carrying a weighted average of about 4,200 vehicles per day. The road has since deteriorated and the poor condition of the road represents increased transportation cost and transit time. The total project cost is UA 38.92 million and ADF loan will cover 89.9% (UA 35 million) and the Government of Kenya 10.1 % (UA 3.92 million). The overall project implementation time frame is four years (2011 – 2015). The completion of the project will increase intra-regional trade between Kenya and the neighbouring countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Sudan.  The project objective is to improve transport communications between Kenya and Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Southern Sudan for the benefit of the region and population of the project area.  The people living in the project area, the local traders, business community and service providers and road users are among the direct beneficiaries of the project. The direct target population is considered to be the population within Uasin Gishu District (within which the entire road project is located), currently estimated at 894,179 people (2009 census).

Multinational - Project to Support the Socio-Economic Reintegration of Vulnerable Groups in the Lake Chad Basin. The Socioeconomic Reintegration Support Project for Vulnerable Groups in the Lake Chad Basin (abbreviated as PARSEBALT) is a pilot investment project that will help to mitigate the negative effects of climate change with the advancing desert and the shrinking of the area of the Lake Chad. The project comprises the following three components: (I) Institutional capacity building and beneficiaries  (II) Support for the social reintegration and economic activities of the beneficiaries  and (III) Project Management. The cost of the project is UA 13.09782 million. It is financed by an ADF loan of UA 8 million in Cameroon, an ADF grant of UA 2.5 million to the Central African Republic, an ADF grant of UA 2.5 million to Chad and a Cameroon Government contribution of UA 0.09782 million. The project will be implemented by the LCBC over a period of 4 years from 2018 to 2021. This operation concerns the Chadian component of the project.  The project aims to contribute to the improvement of living conditions in the Lake Chad Basin, through the social and economic reintegration of the populations most affected by insecurity and climatic hazards in the region. Specifically, the project will contribute to: (i) combat youth unemployment and idleness by improving training provision and its relevance to local economic needs  (ii) revitalize economic activities in the region, promoting and accompanying the structuring of women's and youth economic groupings  (iii) organize civic training for the population, to strengthen their patriotic spirit and civic sense  (iv) build resilience and adaptation capacity to climate change by increasing their incomes and raising awareness about safety, the environment and social ills.  The project will target women and youth, who represent about 52% and 70% of the total population of the project area, respectively.

Kenya - Last Mile Connectivity Project. The proposed Last Mile Connectivity Project aims at maximising the use of KPLC’s
35,000 distribution transformers spread across the 47 counties in the country. The
existing distribution transformers shall be exploited to the maximum through
extension of the low voltage network to reach around 1.2 million people located in
the vicinity of these transformers. The project entails (i) the construction of the
distribution network with about 12,000 meters of low voltage distribution lines  (ii)
the installation of equipment for the connection of minimum 284,200 residential
and minimum 30,000 commercial customers  (iii) project supervision and
management  and (iv) capacity building activities in targeted areas of expertise. The
total project cost is estimated at UA 99.2 million of which the Bank will contribute
UA 90 million. The Kenyan population, particularly those in rural areas and low
income groups, will benefit from this project as well as small businesses. In
particular, providing increased electricity access, the project will contribute to
improvement in standards of living of the targeted households in terms of education,
health and access to information. And for small businesses, the project will help
increase the competitiveness and expansion of activities.  The Kenya Last Mile Connection Project adopts a new approach in expanding the
distribution network in the country. Since the current customer-driven expansion is approaching
saturation, the GoK, with the objective of increasing the connectivity rate in the country, has
decided to extend the low voltage network from existing distribution transformers to reach
households located within a 600-m diameter The government envisages to pre-finance all the
distribution and connection costs, including meters, to the potential customers, thus benefiting
from economies of scale and contributing to reduction in the connection costs. GoK is also
currently working on a number of proposals and mechanisms to minimize the negative impact of
connection costs on low income groups.  The proposed project is expected to benefit a minimum of 314,200 customers, which would
translate into providing electricity access to approximately 1,571,000 people (one customer
expected to include five family members). By supporting the implementation of the Last Mile
Connectivity Project, the Bank will contribute to the provision of basic infrastructure needed to
support economic growth and poverty reduction in rural areas. Accordingly, the Bank’s support
to the electricity sector in Kenya is in line with its current Strategy which is articulated around
greater focus on infrastructure investments, especially for the energy sector.

Multinational - Boke-Quebo Road Improvement Project (Phase 1). The Boké-Québo road is a link of national and regional importance connecting Guinea and Guinea-Bissau and serving an area with strong agricultural and mining potential. The road is part of the Dakar –Lagos Road Corridor or Trans-African Highway 7 (TAH 7) identified as the backbone for the sub-region’s economic and social development. This corridor is considered to be one of the top priorities of the African Union’s Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) and the ECOWAS Regional Transport Facilitation Programme, reference no. CWTR-38/99. It is a dirt road in very bad condition, depriving a high proportion of the population in the area of access to basic services (health, education, and markets) and preventing them from tapping into the area’s potential. The Boké-Québo Road Improvement Project will complete the missing portion of the land link between Conakry and Bissau, the respective capitals of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. It consists of : (i) the improvement and asphalting of 107 km of road, 86 km of which are in Guinea and 21 km in Guinea-Bissau, in accordance with ECOWAS standards (7-metre road surface flanked by 1.5-metre shoulders in bituminous concrete)   (ii) the construction of two bridges in Guinea with a total length of 364 lm (Tinguilinta and Kogon) and repairs to defects identified on 5 bridges in Guinea-Bissau. The total cost for the entire project is estimated at UA 99.08 million, or EUR 117.29 million. In light of the cost of the entire project and available financing, it was decided to implement it gradually in phases. The Boké-Québo Road improvement works are broken down into 3 lots : (i) lot 1 from KP 0 (Boké) to KP 45 including the construction of a new bridge over the Tinginlinta River on the Guinean side   (ii) lot 2 from KP 45 to the border with Guinea-Bissau including the construction of a bridge over the Kogon River to replace the ferry on the Guinean side   and (iii) lot 3 from the Guinean border to Québo on the Guinea-Bissau side. The proposed PHASE 1, with a duration of 4 years and an estimated total cost of UA 67, 52 million (i.e. EUR 79, 94 million), will consist in carrying out lots 2 and 3. PHASE 2 will concern lot 1.  From a strategic standpoint, the project goal is to contribute to reducing Guinea’s and Guinea-Bissau’s internal isolation and bolster sub-regional integration and trade. More specifically, the project will help to : (i) improve service levels on the Boké-Québo road   (ii) remove some of the obstacles to the movement of goods and people linked to customs controls  and (iii) improve accessibility and the living conditions of people in the Project Direct Area of Influence (PDAI).  The Project Direct Area of Influence (PDAI) covers an area of 10,102 km2, i.e. 3% of the surface area of both countries and, in 2016, had an estimated population of 547,306 people, i.e. almost 5% of the total populations of the two countries. The proportion of women in the PEAI is 50.82%. The project’s direct beneficiaries will be transport users as well as people living in the PDAI.

Multinational - Rumonge-Gitaza (45 km) and Kabingo-Kasulu-Manyovu (260 km) Road Upgrading Project. The proposed Project concerns the upgrading of Kabingo – Kasulu - Manyovu Road Section (260 km) in Tanzania and Rumonge - Gitaza Road Section (45 km) in Burundi on the Central Corridor. This Corridor is also a priority under the Project for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). The Project addresses the missing segments of economically significant priority roads in the East African Community region. It is expected to facilitate mobility, boost regional trade and open up access to rural areas. More specifically, it will facilitate the movement of goods and persons along the Kabingo – Kasulu – Manyovu – Gitaza - Rumonge road thereby boosting trade between the two Countries and with the EAC region and increasing community access to basic services. The project will be implemented over a 5-year period. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 249.93 million.  The project sector goals is to strengthen regional integration and trade in EAC Region, particularly between Tanzania & Burundi through improved cross-border transport thereby contributing to poverty reduction and improved living conditions of the people. Its specific objectives are: (i) the reduction of vehicle operating costs and improvement of road safety  (ii) reduction in logistical costs and  (iii) improvement of access to socio-economic and health infrastructure located along Project roads in the region of Kigoma and province of Rumonge in Tanzania and Burundi respectively.  The main beneficiaries of the project are farmers who experience difficulties in procuring inputs and in marketing their produce due to the poor state of the roads. The project will have a positive impact, especially on women and young people because it will improve their access to socio-economic infrastructure and create new initiatives. The Project area population is 3.7 million inhabitants and especially the disadvantaged groups (women and children), which constitute the greater majority. The other beneficiaries are industrialists, traders and transporters whose operating and logistical costs will be significantly reduced due to the improvement and upgrading of the main road and rehabilitation of the rural roads.

Multinational - Trans-Sahara Highway Project (Chad). The present project concerns the Trans-Sahara Highway (TSH), an infrastructure project at the center of economic, social, political and security stakes for the continent. The highway is localed on the Algiers/Lagos and Dakar/Djibouti trans-African corridors identified by the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) as priority projects for achieving NEPAD objectives by 2020. The TSH is 9.022 km-long and links six countries belonging to three out of the eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) of the African Union, namely: Algeria and Tunisia (AMU), Mali, Niger, Nigeria (ECOWAS) and Chad (ECCAS). It comprises the 4.498 km-long main road running from Algiers (Algeria) to Lagos (Nigeria) via Zinder (Niger), and three secondary roads branching from this major road: the Tunisian section (Ghardaia-Gabes), the Malian section (Tit-Kidal-Gao-Bamako) and the Chadian section (Zinder-Nguigmi-Daboua-Ngouri-Massakory-Ndjamena). Thus, the Trans-Sahara Highway (TSH) corridor runs through a part of the continent endowed with abundant wealth, including the fishery resources of Lake Chad, mineral resources such as the uranium being mined in Arlit (Niger), and underground resources such as natural gas and oil deposits in Southern Algeria. It is expected to play a central role in the development of these resources and, ultimately, contribute to the creation of conditions for improving their exploitation. The project implementation will have a significant positive impact on the activities of PIA residents, in general, and on those of women and young people, in particular, as it will improve their employability, increase their job opportunities in the public works and civil engineering sector and strengthen commercial activities thanks to an improved access to socio-economic infrastructure.To promote and support the construction of the various sections of this Corridor, the countries involved in the project established the Trans-Sahara Highway Liaison Committee (CLRT),which is based in Algiers. The project implementation period is 60 months and its total cost, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 381.40 million. The Bank Group's contribution stands at UA 120.37 million, or 31.56% of the total project cost. Other donors include IDB, BADEA, BDEAC, KFAED, SFD, OFID and the three Governments of Algeria, Niger and Chad.  The project's sector objective is to contribute to the development of trade by road and to the regional integration between AMU, ECOWAS and ECCAS, in general and Algeria, Niger and Chad, in particular. The project is expected to: (i) improve TSH's overall level of service and  increase traffic and trade between North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa  (ii) reduce transport and logistics costs  (iii)  improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of the Project Impact Area and their access to basic social services (drinking water, schools, health units, etc.)  and (iv) contribute to the overall improvement of security in the Sahara region.  All users of the Trans-Sahara Road will directly or indirectly benefit from economic and social benefits, but mainly residents of the PIA, which comprises 32 regions crossed, 74 built-up areas served, and spans an area of 4.4 million km² and has a population of 60 million inhabitants shared between Algeria, Tunisia, Mali, Niger, Chad and Nigeria.

East Africa Trade & Transport (Ncttca). The East Africa Trade and Transport Facilitation Project is consistent with the objectives of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and part of its short-term action plan for infrastructure. The project is a good example of coordinated donor effort to provide assistance to several regional member countries and regional organizations to tackle trade and transport facilitation challenges on a regional scale. It is designed to address the development constraints caused by poor transportation and logistics systems in East Africa. The project includes country specific components in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, and regional components targeted to the East African Community Secretariat the Northern Corridor Transit Transport Coordination Authority (NCTTCA), and the Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency. As indicated earlier, under the partnership arrangement with the World Bank, the country specific components will be financed by IDA loans and grants while the regional components would be financed by an ADF grant. Its Implementation is expected to contribute to enhance trade and regional integration, by reducing general transport costs, increasing market sizes beyond national boundaries, increasing economic output, and giving rise to other socio-economic benefits. The estimated total cost of the project irrespective of the financing source is UA 195.50 million (USD 280.06 million) not including the Partial Risk Guarantee. The components funded by the ADF will be implemented over a period of 48 months, starting from January 2007.  The project objectives are twofold  (i) Improve trade environment through the effective implementation of the EAC Customs Union Protocol  and (ii) Enhance transport and logistics services efficiency along key regional transport corridors by reducing non tariff barriers, delays, and uncertainty of transit time.

Multinational - East Africa Trade and Transport Facilitation Project. The institutional support for the East Africa Trade and Transport Facilitation Project is designed to address the development constraints caused by poor transportation and logistics systems in the region. The project is consistent with the objectives of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and part of its short-term action plan for infrastructure. It is expected to contribute to enhance trade and regional integration, by reducing general transport costs, increasing market sizes beyond national boundaries, increasing economic output, and giving rise to other socio-economic benefits. The project is building on the achievement of previous projects financed by the Bank and the World Bank as well as other donors especially the European Union which now have substantially improved the condition of the road infrastructure of the two major transport corridors. The project includes country specific components in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, and regional components targeted to the East African Community Secretariat the Northern Corridor Transit Transport Coordination Authority (NCTTCA), and the Central Corridor Transit Transport Facilitation Agency. The World Bank component provides national level assistance to Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda that is designed to improve the facilitation process. The African Development Bank components provides regional level assistance to the East African Community, and the two main Corridor Authorities to strengthen their role in policy, planning, harmonization, advocacy and implementation of facilitation measures on specific corridors.  The project objectives are twofold  (i) Improve trade environment through the effective implementation of the EAC Customs Union Protocol  and (ii) Enhance transport and logistics services efficiency along key regional transport corridors by reducing non tariff barriers, delays, and uncertainty of transit time.  The beneficiaries of the project are essentially, the general public, through the increase of goods at lower prices  EAC and national economies, through trade-led economic growth.

Multinational - Lake Victoria Water Supply and Sanitation Program - Phase II. LVWATSAN Program - Phase I was supported by UN-HABITAT and focused on 10 towns within the original EAC Partner States of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. With Rwanda and Burundi joining the EAC, this second phase has been expanded to cover 15 towns, three from each of the five Partner States. The investment plan preparation for the 15 secondary towns was supported by the African Water Facility (AWF). The program is expected to be expanded to other towns within the basin area with subsequent phases. The program is estimated to cost about UA 84.39 million. The Fund will be contributing UA 75.43 million, and the partner states will be contributing UA 8.96 million.  The program will focus on the following components: (i) Development of sustainable water supply systems  (ii) provision of hygiene and sanitation facilities including solid waste management systems and social marketing  (iii) drainage improvements  and (iv) town councils and service providers capacity building. Once the project is fully implemented, it will achieve 85% coverage in water supply and 80% coverage in sanitation. It will also significantly reduce the amount of waste entering Lake Victoria and hence will improve the lake's ecosystem.  The program's beneficiaries are the five Partner States, primarily the populations that depend directly or indirectly on the vast resources of the lake. At a local level, the program will immediately benefit the population of the fifteen towns in LVB. It aims to provide services to more than 670,000 residents of the small towns by 2015, including an estimated 170,000 transit persons using the towns as nodes. Riparian communities in the immediate vicinity of the target towns will also benefit from the project's interventions. Although the interventions will benefit all towns’ residents, primary beneficiaries will be the poor and vulnerable groups who will have access to water and sanitation facilities, where they, hitherto, have had none. The program will result in increased coverage and reliable water and sanitation services in the beneficiary towns, and improved performance from service providers.

Multinational - Water Operators Partnership (WOP) Africa Peer-to-peer Learning and
Benchmarking. The peer-to-peer learning partnerships under the Water Operators Partnership Program aims to increase number of African utilities achieving international best practice on central efficiency parameters and increasing funding of investments from own revenue. The WOP Africa initiative is a tool for the improvement of the performance of African utilities and will contribute towards the achievement of the WSS MDG targets and progress towards universal access to safe water and sanitation. This project fits within the AWF mandate under Improved Service Delivery, with a clear focus on innovation. It has two components: Component A) 10 peer-to-peer learning partnerships between African water and sanitation utilities  Component B) Benchmarking of utilities and updating a utility performance database. The overall duration of the projet is 24 months.  The objective of the Water Operators Partnership Program is to promote partnerships for systematic knowledge exchange and capacity building among water and sanitation professionals.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will be the ten utilities receiving mentors in the sponsored peer-to-peer learning partnerships. Their customers, other AfWA members and the ‘champions’ providing the support will benefit indirectly from the project. In a wider sense, all African utilities, governments and population will benefit from this project. Furthermore, the overall water and sanitation sector in Africa including current and potential investors and donors will indirectly benefit from the project and programme in the long term.

The Project to Reform Systems and Means of Payment in UEMOA countries fits into the integration strategy of Union member States. It's to supplement the financial sector reforms undertaken in member countries in the wake of the economic crisis of the early 80s as well as inappropriate macro-economic policies and poor management of banks. Indeed, the implementation of a modern system of payment using cutting-edge technology should contribute to promoting scriptural currency transactions, strengthening banks, extending the regional financial sector and generally, further promoting regional integration, and development of trade and investment within and between member countries in a safe environment that meets basic Bank for International Settlements (BIS) principles. It should contribute to improving the zone’s capital flow, bankarization of the respective economies and trade fluidity. Furthermore, through its objectives of improving financial and monetary management in UEMOA countries, and the scope of its infrastructure component, it synchronizes with the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD). The project comprises the following components: A) Real-time gross settlement system (RTGS)  B) High volume compensation system (Compensation)  C) Establishment of an interbank card system (Electronic Money)  D) Upgrading of telecommunications infrastructure  and E) Project Management.  The sector goal of the project is to promote the growth and economic integration of UEMOA countries by upgrading basic infrastructure in the financial sector. Specifically, its
objective is to establish a set of national and regional payment mechanisms, so as to (i) satisfy the growing needs of all economic sectors in UEMOA, in a sure, sound, secure, timely manner and at reasonable cost  and (ii) ensure that the new payment systems meet international standards and comply with basic principles, and consequently, guarantee a high level of consumer confidence in UEMOA financial systems.  The beneficiaries are the participating financial institutions, firms and the ever-increasing users of banking services. Even those who currently have no access to banking services could, in the long term, benefit from the project should the electronic cash card study prove conclusive.

Multinational - Ethiopia - Kenya Electricity Highway Project. The Ethiopia-Kenya Electricity Highway Project, approved in June 2011 by the African Development Bank, involves the construction of an electricity highway between Ethiopia and Kenya consisting of about 1,068 km of transmission line (about 437 km will be in Ethiopia and about 631 km in Kenya) and associated Alternating current/Direct current (AC/DC) converter stations at Wolayta-Sodo (Ethiopia) and Suswa (Kenya) substations with a transfer capacity of up to 2,000 megawatt (MW) in either direction. The electricity highway will contribute to the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) countries’ social and economic development and poverty reduction efforts. The project is expected to cost UA 840 million and to be commissioned in November 2017.  It will be completed in less than five years.  The project’s development objective is to promote power trade and regional integration, contribute to the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) countries’ social and economic development, and reduce poverty in those countries. Specifically, the project aims at improving the supply of electricity in Kenya and other EAPP countries in the long run by exporting power from Ethiopia.  The project's direct beneficiaries are households, businesses, and industries in communities located in Kenya, the direct offtaker of the power. The interconnection with Ethiopia will ensure access to reliable and affordable energy to around 870,000 households by 2018  increasing to around 1,400,000 households cumulative by 2022 (of which 18% will be located in rural areas). In a broader sense, the transmission line will in the long run benefit countries in North, East, and Southern Africa through interconnections from SAPP and EAPP all the way to Egypt and Sudan in the north. In addition to Kenya, other East African countries will see the financial benefits of importing cheaper power from Ethiopia. Businesses and industries will also benefit, with around 3,100 GWh of additional energy by 2018, increasing to around 5,100 GWh by 2022.

Multinational - Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project. The Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project involves the rehabilitation of the Kariba Dam infrastructure by reshaping the plunge pool and rehabilitating the spillway. The Plunge Pool will be reshaped in order to dissipate energy from the spilled water thereby reducing the energy on impact and hence bedrock erosion which could undermine the dam foundations, leading to dam failure. The project will rehabilitate the spillway gates to avoid possible jamming in the open or closed positions both of which would result in dam failure and catastrophic regional loss of lives, livelihoods, assets and power. The project will also assist the Zambezi River Authority secure the long-term safety and reliability of the Kariba Dam complex and to forestall a potential dam failure that could disrupt commerce and livelihoods in nine southern African countries (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and Swaziland) should the dam fail. The project comprises three main components, namely : (i) Plunge Pool Rehabilitation, (ii) Spillway Refurbishment and (iii) Institutional Project Support.  The objective of the project is therefore to secure the technical integrity of the Kariba Dam complex for its safe operation to enable continued delivery of water for sustained power generation by the Kariba North and South power stations. At the same time, the project will forestall the potential of the dam failure that could occur if no action is taken to urgently reshape the plunge pool and stop its encroachment on the dam foundations, and to rehabilitate and modernize the spillway infrastructure.  Republics of Zambia and Zimbabwe will be the direct beneficiaries of the rehabilitation. The jointly owned Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) will benefit from securing the Kariba Dam and the national power utilities (Zambia Electricity Supply Company (ZESCO) and Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) will benefit from improved security associated with continued operation of the dam. Benefits will accrue directly within the regional context of the Zambezi River basin, particularly to the downstream riparian states of Mozambique and Malawi.

This project involves the construction of a high voltage alternating current (HVAC) 400 kV transmission line (T-line) with a total length of 507.5 km, of which about 414.4 km are located in Tanzania and 93.1 km in Kenya. In Tanzania, the project includes the construction of a 400 kV substation in Arusha and the extension of the existing Singida substation. In Kenya, the project does not involve any works related to substations. Indeed, the substation outgoing bay in Isinya is part of the existing Nairobi Reinforcement Project which is currently under construction. The proposed interconnection line, to be connected to the Ethiopia-Kenya transmission system through the Isinya – Suswa 400 kV line, is part of the Eastern Africa Electricity Highway with a transfer capacity of 2,000 MW. As such, it will be the major link for power transfer between the Eastern Africa Power Pool and countries in the North such as Sudan and Egypt. Completion of the line is expected in early 2017.  The project's ultimate development objective is to improve the supply, reliability and affordability of electricity in the Eastern Africa region through cross-border exchanges of cheap and cleaner surplus power from neighboring countries. This project, through promotion of power trade at the regional level, will contribute to Eastern Africa’s socioeconomic transformation. Indeed, the project will help to improve the supply of electricity in Tanzania in the short to medium term with imports from Ethiopia. The project will contribute to: (i) improved power supply in both countries and in the East African region in general and  (ii) reduced operation costs of energy production. The project will help both countries to replace some of the high cost thermal energy production with cheaper hydropower, hence reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.  The project's direct beneficiaries are households, businesses, and industries in communities located in both countries. The line is expected to benefit countries in North, East, and Southern Africa through interconnections between the EAPP and SAPP hence facilitating power trade in the two sub-regions.

Multinational - Enabling Large Scale Gas and Power Investments in Mozambique Technical Assistance Project. The present Technical Assistance (TA) operation aims at promoting large-scale investments in the gas and electricity sector in Mozambique. It consists of engaging experts to strengthen the promotional capacity of the Electricity Company of Mozambique (EDM) and the National Oil Company of Mozambique (ENH) in all strategies and agreements to be developed, negotiated, implemented, managed, and reviewed or produced related documentation. In addition, the TA will contribute to the development of the necessary skills and competencies of the participating entities through a series of training programmes. The different types of activities to be entrusted to the consultants will be carried out in both the long and short term and on the basis of a selective list as and when required. The intervention will produce different results in support of the development of the energy sector in Mozambique, in particular the gas and energy sectors. These results include the recruitment of Transaction Advisors to provide practical support for the preparation of 8 projects and contract negotiations that will subsequently improve access to cleaner energy, accelerate the development of local industry, strengthen production and transport capacities, and increase regional trade.  The development objective of the Technical Assistance is to support the government of Mozambique in the development of three large Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the energy sector through skills, expertise and competence development, to ensure large scale gas and power projects are developed in an equitable, transparent and optimized way for maximum national benefit.  The Technical Assistance will be of benefit to specific entities such as Electricity Company of Mozambique (EDM), National Oil Company of Mozambique (ENH), Ministry of Mineral Resources (MIREM), Ministry of Energy (ME) and Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD). However, it will support development of two explicit large scale projects (STE/Mpanda Nkuwa and the LNG trains) that provide national benefits through increased electricity supply to the whole country and to the region as well as increased revenue from GNL sales and local industrial development. About 250 people will be trained at several levels 30% of which will be women and over 1 million people will benefit indirectly through the two mega projects.

Multinational - Study on the Cameroon-Chad Electricity Interconnection Project. The Cameroon-Chad interconnection study stems from the desire of both countries to optimize the use of their energy resources by integrating their electricity generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Indeed, Cameroon and Chad face major economic and social development difficulties resulting from various constraints, which include: (i) the small size of their domestic markets  (ii) poor economic diversification  and (iii) structural deficits and exorbitant energy costs. The Cameroon-Chad interconnection line is recognized within the power exchange scheme of the member-states of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) as part of the key power exchange infrastructure envisaged for this area. This study is an appropriate response to the electricity supply constraints and difficulties faced by the two countries. Indeed, implementation of the project that will result from this study will raise the electricity access rate which is low in both countries. It will also make it possible to increase power exchange between Cameroon and Chad. The study thus has two components: one involving interconnection of the power grids of Cameroon and Chad, and the other, rural electrification along the corridors of the transmission lines. It will be conducted in two main phases, namely: (i) a preliminary study, and (ii) an enhanced preliminary design study that sets out the main tasks required at the final design stage. With an estimated cost of UA 3.060 million net of taxes, it will be implemented over a 20-month period from January 2014.  The sector objective of the study is to boost cooperation and regional integration and improve access to electricity. Its specific objectives are to: (i) examine the technical, economic and financial feasibility as well as the environmental and social impact of the interconnection project  (ii) study the electrification of localities situated along the power transmission lines  (iii) define the institutional and commercial framework of the project  and (iv) prepare draft agreement protocols on the institutional and commercial frameworks defined, as well as bidding documents.  The direct beneficiaries of the study are the energy ministries of both countries, as regards the finance sourcing, and CAPP as the ECCAS specialized organ tasked with implementing the energy policy, monitoring studies, building community infrastructure and organizing electric power exchange and related services within the Community area. CAPP will be the executing organ of the study and will be supported by a technical study monitoring committee (CTSE) composed of experts appointed by the two governments concerned.

from neighboring countries. This project, through promotion of power trade at the regional level will
contribute to Eastern Africa’s socioeconomic transformation. Indeed, the project will help to improve the
supply of electricity in Tanzania in the short to medium term with imports from Ethiopia. The project will contribute to: (i) improved power supply in both countries and in the East African region in general and  (ii) reduced operation costs of energy production. The project will help both countries to replace some of the high cost thermal energy production with cheaper hydropower, hence reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.  The project includes a rural electrification programme which consists in providing electricity access
to about 21 villages (16 in Tanzania and 5 in Kenya) located within 20 km from the T-line and which are not
currently connected to the grid. The project will entail the connection of the targeted households to the grid
as well as the installation of pre-paid meters. This will enable a population of around 198,000 people (128,000
in Tanzania and 70,000 in Kenya) to have access to electricity and benefit from improved education and health
services. Among the villages to be electrified in Tanzania included rural area around Babati Katesh, Giting,
Endesh, Mgori and Ngimu. In Kenya, most of the villages along the line electrified with limited number of
customers. Under the project financing the existing distribution transformers shall be exploited to the
maximum through the extension of the low voltage network to reach around people located in the vicinity of
these transformers and also with installation of new distribution transformers and low voltage lines.

Multinational - Study on Power Transmission Lines Related to the Rusumo Falls Dam. The study on the development of the Rusumo Falls hydroelectric site within the regional framework of NELSAP is a vehicle of socio-political stability of the great lakes subregion. This study and the related project are an appropriate response to specific constraints and difficulties in the supply of electricity in the sub-region. In fact, the implementation of projects for the generation of electric power at competitive costs in comparison with the thermal power alternative, and the interconnections which will stem from this study will result in an increase in the rate of access by the population to electricity, which is otherwise low in the six NEL countries, as well as in the enhancement of electric power trade between Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and beyond, with increased electricity supply at reasonable prices in the long run. Implementation of the projects which will stem from the study will allow for the reduction of the electricity supply deficit and increased access by the population to electricity. This will contribute to the improvement of the quality of electricity supply and strengthen trade in electrical energy in the sub-region.  The sector goal of the study is the promotion of regional economic development and improvement of the quality of life of the people through greater access to electrical energy at reasonable prices. More specifically, the objectives of the study are to examine: (i) the technical, financial, economic, social and environmental feasibility of projects to transmit power generated by the Rusumo Falls hydropower station to electrical grids in Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania  and (ii) the feasibility of a rural electrification programme in the Kagera basin area along the corridors of the power transmission lines.

Multinational - Regional Rusumo Falls Hydropower Project. The Regional Rusumo Falls Hydropower Project development is a transformative generation and transmission integration initiative that would enable Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi to jointly have access to the benefits of the large and diverse potential of the region’s energy sources. The overall project are two main components: (i) an 80 MW hydropower generation plant at an estimated cost of US$ 340 million  and (ii) transmission lines and substations at a total estimated cost of US$ 121 million. The 80 MW of power generated will be shared equally by the three countries. Its implementation will increase renewable (hydro) electricity supply capacity to address the power deficit and allow the countries to address their low energy access rates. Rwanda and Tanzania will be able to displace some of the energy generated from high cost imported fuel with cheaper hydro power  thereby contributing to the reduction of the current electricity tariff. In Burundi, the project will provide 50% of the current peak power demand and this will allow the country to expand its access and other economic activities, and reduce CO2 emissions considerably. AfDB Group allocated a total of UA 64.492 million from ADF and UA 6.5 million from NTF resources. An additional UA 10.73 million from the EU–Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund towards finance the transmission lines component from the Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Plant to the national networks of Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania. It's expected to be implemented and completed by August 2018.  From a regional perspective, the project objective is to enhance power generation & transmission capacity for Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania and contribute to regional economic stability and integration by developing and managing joint assets. For Rwanda, the project will play an important role in achieving the targets of improving Rwanda's energy demand by increasing generation capacity, achieving domestic interconnectivity and economic transformation of the economy and support the government's overarching goal of reducing poverty and the long-term development strategy vision 2020 and the second medium-term Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS-II). It also supports the expansion of electricity access rate.  The key project beneficiaries are the households, small and medium sized enterprises, artisanal and mining operations located in the project area. The power off-taker (EWSA) and local schools, health centres, administration, etc. would benefit from this project by: (a) the opportunity to replace high cost thermal plants and lowering their overall cost of power generation  and (b) improving their ability to better meet the peak loads on their national power systems from a less expensive power source.

Multinational - Desert To Power Regional Technical Assistance Project For The Sahel. The Desert To Power Regional Technical Assistance Project for the Sahel is to create an enabling environment for solar electricity projects in the Sahel, while unlocking private sector investments in both the on-grid and mini-grid space. The proposed operation builds upon the validated national Desert to Power Roadmaps and ongoing interactions with national governments, regional institutions and development partners. Overall, this regional technical assistance project covering 10 countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal) is a core component of the Bank’s Desert to Power (DtP) Initiative. Overall, the proposed operation consists of five components. The first component will provide support for the preparation of studies and provision of technical assistance for on-grid and decentralized solar projects. The second component will focus on implementing actions for catalyzing private sector investments in the region. The third component will cover the development of a comprehensive capacity-building program and its implementation in collaboration with other partners. The fourth component will aim to support the development and implementation of the mini-grid strategy across all coverage countries. The fifth component covers the project management aspects.  The project's development objective is to provide technical assistance to create an enabling environment for solar power projects in the Sahel, while unlocking private sector investments in both the on-grid and mini-grid space. Its specific goals are to: (i) strengthen the regional environment for regulating and operating regional renewable energy projects, (ii) provide advisory services to assist the Sahel regional countries in preparation, negotiations construction and supervision of projects and (iii) Incentivize private sector investment in solar projects across the region.  The project’s direct beneficiaries are Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, which together have a total population of slightly more than 239 million people and the project area stretches over 6.5m km2. The indirect beneficiaries of the project will be the more than 120 million people among them who do not have access to electricity and for whom green mini-grids have been identified as the least-cost electricity access option.

Chad - Emergency Project to Support The Stabilisation And Recovery of Refugees And Host Communities In The Lake Chad Basin (PASRRC). The project is a rapid response to the need for health, education and access to water by restoring and stabilising basic services to cope with the influx of people into areas with few or no basic social services. It will then go on to build resilience and socioeconomic recovery capacity to stabilise displaced populations in a dignified manner and help them regain their means of subsistence over the medium term, given the long-term nature and intensity of the current crisis. Lastly, it will help local authorities to equip themselves with governance tools that will enable them to better anticipate and mitigate risks, as well as better plan and coordinate the management and organisation of the recovery of the affected regions. To achieve the expected result, the programme is structured around three complementary components contributing to the following three outcomes: (1) inclusive access to basic social services restored, (2) sustainable resilience of economic operators and local economy strengthened and (3) improved governance of the response to the crisis.  The project's development objective is to restore access to basic services and increase the income and sustainable socio-economic resilience of refugees and host populations in the provinces of Ouaddaï, Sila and Wadi Fira in Chad and Vakaga in CAR.  The project will distribute the benefits of the project 50/50 between displaced populations and host populations. The final beneficiaries are expected to number 112,500, the majority of whom (over 75%) will be women/girls and young people. The gender breakdown of refugees and returnees shows that 85% of them are women and children. Indirect beneficiaries are estimated at 2,713,000. As far as the host communities are concerned, the pressure on resources particularly affects women and girls (who are in charge of collecting firewood, supplying water and feeding their families in a context of agriculture degraded by climate change and price inflation), whose tasks have all become extremely complex. Local traders affected by the crisis and the closure of the Sudanese market also include many women traders and young people who used to transport goods in their Rakchas (three-wheeled vehicles used for urban and suburban transport).

The project is tackling one of the drivers of fragility and illegal migration in Somalia (youth unemployment). It will also contribute to improved technical capacity and governance at the sector level. It adopts a two-pronged approach by directly equipping vulnerable youth with technical and vocational skills relevant for the labour market while supporting capacity building of relevant state institutions to enable them address youth unemployment and vulnerability issues on a more sustainable basis in the near future. The main project interventions are: provision of psycho-social counselling, technical and vocational skills training, financial literacy training, apprenticeship and mentorship, job placement through apprenticeships and provision of basic tools as start-up kits to trained youth. The total cost is estimated at UA 3.30 million excluding taxes and duties.  The overall development objective of the project is to promote sustainable reintegration of youth at risk including ex-combatants. The specific objective is to equip these youth with the needed social and livelihoods skills for sustainable reintegration into society and help enhance government’s capacity for tackling youth unemployment. The expected outcomes are sustainable reintegration of youth at risk including ex-combatants and enhanced government capacity for youth empowerment and reintegration programming.  The project directly targets two categories of youth i.e highly vulnerable youth and youth disengaging from Al Shabaab (ex-combatants). A total of 1,500 youth at risk of becoming disillusioned or joining criminal gangs and militias including 500 youth ex-combatants will benefit from vocational and entrepreneurship training and assistance to integrate into the local economy. Overall, 525 out of the 1,500 target youth beneficiaries will be female. Under the project, communities will be supported to develop action plans to combat Gender-Based Violence and this will significantly improve the lives and wellbeing of Somali women. Skills shortages is one of the major challenges affecting the private sector in Somalia. Industry players will benefit from the existence of a pool of skilled youth. The various institutions of the Federal Government of Somalia targeted for capacity building under the project will benefit from enhanced capacity which would in the long run translate into better service delivery for all citizens.

Mauritius - Saint Louis Power Plant Redevelopment Project. The Saint Louis Power Plant Redevelopment Project will be designed such that it will enable renewable sources of energy to deliver more power to the CEB grid without destabilising electricity supply, and, therefore, will be in agreement with the goal of the MID and the renewable energy objective of the LTES. The project will provide four medium speed, four stroke, heavy fuel oil (HFO) driven generators with a capacity of 15 MW each  a power station building  two 1000 cubic metre tanks for the storage of HFO  and one 132 Kv substation for connection of the power plant to the existing electricity grid belonging to the Central Electricity Board (CEB), the State owned electricity utility in Mauritius. The Saint Louis Power Station is located five kilometres south of the centre of Port Louis, the capital city situated on the North West of the island. The electricity produced by the project installations will be distributed to all corners of the main island of Mauritius on the integrated transmission and distribution network connected to the power stations of the CEB. As a result, by end of 2015, the total gap in power supply will be 36 MW, against 60 MW capacity of the project. By decreasing the dependence of the country on imported fossil fuels, the project will also be in line with one of the roles assigned by the LTES to the CEB, which is to ensure security of supply. The project cost is estimated at UA 84.6 million (USD 129.70 million).  The project objective is to increase the firm generating capacity of the CEB so as to maintain reliability of supply, reduce the environmental impacts and stabilise the lectricity supply with integration of the output from renewable energy projects.  The project will benefit the whole population of Mauritius, except of Small Islands, who will avoid the inconveniences of shortages of electricity supply. The population in the residential area and workers in the industrial zone adjacent to the power station, who are presently exposed to excessive noise and gaseous emissions from six old generators that are being decommissioned, will benefit from reduced levels of gaseous emissions and noises. The new generators, which will replace the old generators, are less noisy and discharge less gaseous emissions into the atmosphere.

The first tranche, to be disbursed in 2007, would account for about 4 percent of the projected budget deficit in the financial year 2006/2007. Strong ownership of the programme should greatly enhance the likelihood of success of the support being provided by the development partners. The proposed DBSL should support the priority policy actions outlined in the reform programme and the Country Strategy Paper (CSP). The reform agenda comprises four pillars: (i) consolidating fiscal performance and improving the public sector, efficiency, (ii) improving trade competitiveness, (iii) improving the investment climate, and (iv) democratizing the economy through participation, social inclusion and sustainability.  The overriding objective of the DBSL is to put the economy onto a higher growth path and make it less vulnerable to external shocks. The programme aims to (i) reduce the budget deficit and the debt burden in order to bring them to more sustainable levels  (ii) improve productivity in the traditional sectors of the economy with a view to restoring their competitiveness and facilitating the development of exports  (iii) improve the institutional framework for business by streamlining procedures for business registration and incentives schemes in order to attract more foreign direct investments, and (iv) facilitate employment creation and promoting social equity.  The beneficiaries are the people of Mauritius.

Mauritius - The Competitiveness and Public Sector Efficiency Programme (CPSE). The Public Sector Competitiveness and Efficiency Program (CPSE) aims to support economic growth and employment against a backdrop of global economic recession, while staying on course with the long-term reforms needed to make Mauritius more competitive. This program is a support operation to the general budget, with a total loan amount of US $ 420 million and € 186 million, to be implemented over a period of two and a half years, July 2009 to December 2011. It has three components: (i) consolidate financial performance and improve the delivery of social services in the public sector  (ii) increase the competitiveness of trade  and (iii) improve the investment climate.

The program will mainly benefit the entire population of Mauritius, due to the extent of reforms to be implemented. Specific beneficiaries include: (i) users of public social services  ii) domestic and foreign entrepreneurs  (iii) the economically active population of Mauritius, including women exposed to dismissal in the textile industry  and (iv) the most disadvantaged sections of the population, including Rodrigues Island.

Mauritius - The Competitiveness and Public Sector Efficiency Programme (CPSE). The present intervention concerns the Competitiveness and Public Sector Efficiency Programme (CPSE). It aims to support three major components of the Government's reform programme, namely: a) consolidate fiscal performance and strengthen public service delivery by supporting development of sector strategies that conform to programme-based budgeting requirements  b) enhance trade competitiveness by supporting reforms in the ICT sector regulatory environment and non-tariff barriers to trade  and c) improve the investment climate by implementing strategies to remove obstacles to business operations. The expected outcomes include: (i) a more efficient and sustainable use of public fiscal resources, (ii) improved ability to compete in international markets, and (iii) a more propitious climate for enterpreneurs to operate job-creation value-added enterprises.  The objective of the CPSE is to sustain economic growth and employment against the backdrop of the ongoing global recession, while keeping momentum on long-terms reforms needed to make Mauritius more competitive.  The program benefits the public sector and the general population.

Mauritius - Economic Competitiveness and Resilience Support Program (ECRSP). The proposed programme aims to support economic diversification and competitiveness with a view to strengthening resilience and achieving more inclusive and sustainable growth. It is a multi-sector program covering agro-industry, fisheries, SME development, energy, climate change and low carbon economy. It will support the Government’s economic policies through wide-ranging climate-friendly business environment and real sector reforms. This will underpin the creation of new jobs and support improvement in economic activity, including by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in the medium to long term within the framework of Mauritius’s Vision 2030. The program has strong synergies and complementarities with other ongoing and planned Bank operations in agriculture, energy, manufacturing and trade finance. It will help to address diminishing productivity and competitiveness which has led to Mauritius losing a significant share of its export market and will therefore contribute to private sector development. The package of reforms under the ECRSP is organized around two mutually reinforcing and complementary components. Component 1, Enhancing Competitiveness and Private Sector Participation in Key Sectors, to foster a business enabling environment and harness agroindustrial development and fisheries  and Component 2, Enhancing Green Recovery and Climate Resilience, to support accelerating transition to clean energy and strengthening environmental governance.  The overarching development objective of the proposed operation is to enhance economic diversification and competitiveness with a view to strengthening resilience and achieving more inclusive and sustainable growth. It will help to address diminishing productivity and competitiveness which has led to Mauritius losing a significant share of its export market due to failure to sufficiently scale up to more complex new exports.  The program’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development and the ministries responsible for the areas covered by the operation. The private sector will benefit from improved investment opportunities in agriculture and industry. The SMEs will benefit from an improved policy framework and access to markets and business skills, as they struggle to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the program will indirectly benefit all Mauritians as the financing will help to expand the fiscal space for critical development spending and job creation, and climate-sensitive sector reforms will help attract private investments for green growth and job creation.

Mauritius - Gas Insulated Switchgear Project. Mauritius Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Substation Project aims to undertake the necessary network expansion investments. This project is expected to address the vulnerability of the electricity grid to the effects of climate change and the lack of interconnection points for the absorption of renewable energy.

Approximately 133 MW of additional solar PV is planned in the short term to be connected to the new and rehabilitated GIS substations. The Project includes the rehabilitation of six (6) existing outdoor AIS substations with indoor GIS technology and the construction of four (4) new indoor GIS substations to meet the load demand of the major committed developments.  The project development objective is to increase the reliability of the national grid and the number of injection points for renewable energy generating facilities.  The ultimate beneficiaries of the project are the households, businesses, and industries of the country, who will benefit from increased power supply, and improved reliability and quality of supply.

Somalia - Economic and Financial Reforms Support Program (EFRSP). The proposed operation is a grant to the Federal Republic of Somalia of UA 89 million from pillar I of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) from ADF-14 resources, to finance the Economic and Financial Reforms Support Program (EFRSP). The Program complements Somalia’s efforts to advance its development agenda (consolidate peace, accelerate reductions in poverty and income inequality, catalyze needed financing for transformative growth generating infrastructure). It consists of two broad components namely: (i) strengthening domestic revenue mobilization and public financial management  and (ii) advancing financial sector development. The operation has been designed in anticipation of Somalia’s arrears clearance, a process being undertaken by the United Kingdom (UK). It takes into account the need for the Bank to step up its re-engagement with Somalia, post-arrears clearance, and to support the country’s on-going economic and financial reforms. The implementation of the reforms being supported by the program is expected to lead to high, sustainable and inclusive growth for Somalia. This operation is strongly coordinated with those of the WB and IMF.  The goal of the proposed program is to restore fiscal and economic stability through improved Public Financial Management (PFM). Consistent with the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) reform program, the overall operational objectives of the proposed operation are to (i) support the building of a strong foundation for inclusive and selfreliant economic growth  and (ii) build state capacity for transparent and accountable management of public resources, enhance financial sector stability, and strengthen compliance with the framework for anti-money laundering/combatting the financing of terrorism. The proposed operation will lay the foundation for longer-term engagement in policy dialogue with the FGS.  The direct beneficiaries from the program are Somalia key PFM and financial sector oversight institutions  while the indirect beneficiaries are the people of Somalia who will benefit from enhanced fiscal space for basic service delivery resulting from the unlocking of access to concessional funding.

Somalia - Kismayo-Baidoa Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The Kismayo-Baidoa Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Project is one of the priority activities resulting from the water and sanitation needs assessment conducted by the Bank in 2014. The Kismayo and Baidoa towns contribute significantly to the country’s social and economic development. Because of their concentrated populations, the two cities are favourable locations for the provision of quality health care, and water supply and sanitation services. The project, therefore, seeks to reduce economic and social exclusion of poor and vulnerable groups by improving access to safe and reliable water supply in the two towns, where around 65% of the population live below the poverty line. The Project is key to improving the quality of life for the population of Kismayo/Baidoa and its expansion will scale up the much-anticipated benefits for a wider population. Additional Financing of UA 7.5 million will mainly go towards  (i) expanding the scope of the Water and Sanitation Infrastructure component and (ii)supporting the establishment of two Water Development Agencies in Kismayo and Baidoa, respectively. The total cost including additional activities is estimated at UA 17.924 million, net of taxes and duties. The  Project implementation period stands at 48 months with a completion date of 2024.  The project objective is to improve quality of life, inclusiveness, and resilience of the population in Kismayo and Baidoa through improved access to sustainable water supply and sanitation services.  The initial project aimed at improving the living conditions for an estimated 200,000people in Kismayo and Baidoa’s urban and peri-urban communities through enhanced access to water and sanitation services and environmental protection. A WSS service gap has been created due to an influx of IDPs and Returnees to Kismayo and Baidoa. The additional financing will scale up the operation by expansion of the original project scope to address the WSS service gap and serve an additional280,000 beneficiaries bringing the total target population to 480,000 (50% women).

Somalia - Economic and Financial Governance Institutional Support Project (EFGISP) Phase II. The proposed intervention concerns the second phase of the Economic and Financial Governance Institutional Support Project in Somalia. This is part of the Bank’s continuous engagement with countries in fragile situation as well as a response to a specific request from the Federal Government of Somalia to support the government’s state building efforts. The project will contribute to capacity enhancement in macroeconomic management through strengthened revenue and PFM institutions, as well as improving transparency and accountability for better public service delivery. It builds on the work of the previous financial governance projects, and aims to consolidate their achievements. Specific areas that will be maintained include support to debt management and budget preparation. The project has three mutually reinforcing components: (i) Strengthening macro-economic planning and management (ii) Enhancing control, transparency and accountability in the use of public resources, and (iii) strengthening capacity for project management. The expected outcomes are: (i) Enhanced domestic revenue mobilization which will be measured through increased revenue to GDP ratio, and  (ii) Improved fiscal space to increase share of budget allocated to social sectors. The project will be implemented over the period 2018-2020 with a total cost (exclusive of tax and customs duty) estimated at UA 5.5 million, including contingencies.  The overall development objective of the project is to strengthen macroeconomic management and enhance transparency and accountability in the use of public resources. The project will seek to enhance the institutional and operational effectiveness of selected institutions within government through developing policy frameworks, support implementation of new fiduciary instruments (PFM and Procurement), revenue mobilization strategy, support training and skills transfer, and provide technical assistance, ICT infrastructure and equipment support.  The direct project beneficiaries are the Ministry of Finance core departments( Budget, Procurement, Internal Audit, Debt Management Unit, Inland Tax Department, Office of the Auditor General)  and infrastructure ministries notably: Energy and Water Resources, Ports and Marine Transport as well as Transport and Civil Aviation. The project will benefit the government and the people of Somalia through building the weak human and institutional capacity in the domestic revenue administration at federal level, as well as its public financial management systems. The project will also contribute to promoting good economic governance and the fight against poverty. The project is expected to result in improved service delivery in the country, arising from increased revenue collection and increased efficiencies in PFM. Most importantly, the project is expected to trigger an increase in domestic revenue collection, thus availing the much needed additional resources to finance the government’s budget deficit and create more fiscal space for funding delivery of basic public services.

Mauritius – COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Programme. The proposed COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program is in response to a request from the Republic of Mauritius (RoM) dated 18 March 2020 and will be applied for one year, from June 2020 to June 2021.

Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic is a health crisis which can potentially plunge Mauritius into an economic recession due to its status as a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) and its dependence on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), travel and tourism. The first three cases of COVID-19 were announced on 18 March 2020 and they were all imported. By 6 April 2020, locally transmitted cases had increased to 133 (54.5% of all cases). The purpose of the Program is to support national measures in response to COVID-19, and mitigate its health, social and economic impacts. It has three mutually reinforcing components (i) Strengthening health systems  (ii) Protecting livelihoods, income security, and access to essential goods and services  (iii) Building a resilient private sector for economic recovery.  The overall goal of the program is to support national measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate its health, social and economic impacts. The main outcomes of the program are: improvement in preparedness and response to crisis  support the vulnerable groups and the informal sector by financing social protection schemes  as well as minimizing job losses by boosting the resilience of MSMEs to withstand the COVID-19 crisis and prepare for economic recovery.  The overall beneficiaries of the Program are the people of Mauritius, especially the people in the lowest quintile of the population. In addition to the beneficiaries of wage assistance scheme, workers in the informal sector, and employees facing immediate lay-off and transient poverty risk, the Program will directly benefit several vulnerable people, through the social protection measures. Moreover, the program will also benefit MSMEs whose resilience will be bolstered to withstand the COVID-19 crisis and prepare for economic recovery.

Liberia - Emergency Food Production Program. The proposed operation is for a grant to the Republic of Liberia for UA four million to finance the Liberia Emergency Food Production Program in Liberia from the resources of the Transition Support Facility Pillar I Grant. This is a Sector Budget Support under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) and will be implemented from 2022 to 2024. The Program is the Bank’s contribution to the Government’s response to the rising food prices caused by the disruptions of the Ukraine war. It will focus on climate resilient production, harvesting, and the marketing of rice. The Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, will provide smart subsidies to reduce the cost of certified climate resilient rice seeds and fertilizers available to smallholder farmers, as well as extend support to climate smart post-harvest management and marketing of rice over two cropping seasons. The Bank’s resources will enable Government to facilitate farmers’ access to improved seeds, agro-chemicals, and fertilizer. The program will: i) improve food and nutrition security in Liberia  and ii) improve the regulatory environment for climate-smart agricultural input use.  The principal objective of the program is to increase climate resilient food production in Liberia to mitigate the impact of the war in Ukraine by supporting farmers and Government with resources. The program will contribute to achieving short-term food security at household and national level, and thereby help to support economic stability and social welfare. The specific objective of the project is to assist the Government by contributing to increasing climate resilient food production, through direct smart subsidies (subsidies that create incentives for private sector investment in the inputs market without distorting the market) to vulnerable farmers.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are 10,000 farmers and 40,000 indirect beneficiaries (at least 30% female) who will be provided with smart subsidies, and rice value chain actors, as well as the Government that will receive resources to support and improve the regulatory environment for agricultural development. The project will indirectly benefit the people of Liberia by providing food and nutrition security, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the Ukraine war on social and economic stability and climate impacts.

Liberia - Technical advisory assistance and capacity building support to the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA). The proposed project is a Technical Advisory Assistance and Capacity Building Support to the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA). LRA was established by an Act of Legislature in September 2013 for the purposes of assessing and collecting national revenues as specified in the Revenue Code of Liberia and other related laws  administering, accounting, auditing, enforcing revenue collection laws and regulations, and educating taxpayers to facilitate tax and customs compliance. The Authority became operational on 1st July 2014. Since its inception, tax revenue collection has continued to grow while professionalism in revenue administration has been enhanced. However, a number of processes remain manual and the LRA is yet to operate as a fully integrated organization. Thus, the LRA’s Five-Year Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP) approved and published in 2016 details LRA’s intended reform agenda, which is expected to facilitate Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) in Liberia. The aim of the project is to support the implementation of the country’s Revenue Mobilization Strategy as well as the LRA’s Five Year Corporate Strategic Plan through widening the tax base, modernizing tax administration, aligning with national priorities for Liberia’s socioeconomic development, and improving service delivery to Liberia’s taxpayers. Supporting the strategy is crucial for harnessing the needed revenue for Government in implementing the National Development Strategy (PAPD) for delivering the needed services. This TA is in line with the Bank’s Strategy of “Addressing Fragility and Building Resilience in Africa” (2014 –2019) which focuses on addressing the challenges of fragility in all its RMCs. It will particularly strengthen state capacity and effective institutions based on Liberia’s current context. The project comprises these following intertwined components: (i) support to the LRA/ Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism (MICAT) in developing an operational and Legal Framework for the Tourism Sector of Liberia  (ii) support the LRA transition from the current concession regime and elaborating the enabling instruments to facilitate a switchover from Concession Agreement to licensing regime  (iii) support to the conduct of research leading to the identification of gaps in the Liberia Tax system.  The overarching development objective of the Technical Legal Assistance and Capacity Building (TCB) Support to the Liberia Presidency is to provide technical advisory services to the implementation of the Revenue Mobilization Strategy. The specific objective of the project is to support the Revenue Administration Arm of Government (The Liberia Revenue Authority) and the Ministry of Information, Culture & Tourism to develop the legal and operational framework for the Tourism Sector  preparing a comprehensive report containing analyses of various tax gaps by kinds, customers and behavior and a white paper, for cabinet approval, for transitioning from Concession Agreement to licensing regime.  Despite the small size and scope of this intervention, its potential benefits have far reaching implications with a wider reach. Firstly, Liberia has never had a more robust and comprehensive Domestic Revenue Mobilization Strategy. As such, implementing key aspects of the strategy to harness potential revenue is very important in supporting our National Development Plan. Thus, any outcome from this implementation will directly benefit the government and people of Liberia. The capacity of LRA will be improved in the areas of policy, institutional and legal in implementing the Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM) Strategy.

Gabon - Economic Diversification Support Project (PADEG). The Economic Diversification Support Project (PADEG) focuses on creating conditions conducive to improving the investment climate and Gabonese economic diversification through better promotion of domestic and foreign private investment. The project will therefore address the constraints hampering the diversification and competitiveness of the Gabonese economy. These include weaknesses in the investment environment, the low competitiveness of Gabonese SMEs and the craft sector in a context of increased economic liberalisation, the high cost of factors of production and the lack of a critical mass of skilled labour. PADEG is complementary to the reforms implemented through the recent Bank-supported budget support (PAREF) whose aim is to create room for labour force for the sustainability of public finances and diversification of the economy, with particular emphasis on strengthening revenue mobilization. The project will be implemented over a four-year-period, and aims mainly to consolidate the achievements of the Bank's previous operations and support efforts to structurally transform the Gabonese economy. It is divided into three complementary components presented in detail in the table below: (i) support investment climate reforms to strengthen economic competitiveness, and mobilize internal resources for economic diversification  (ii) support reforms in the priority mining and timber sectors to diversify the sources of growth  and (iii) support the project’s operational management.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to strong and inclusive growth by improving the investment climate, strengthening institutional capacity and diversifying the Gabonese economy in priority sectors. Specifically, PADEG will help improve the investment climate, strengthen internal resource mobilization to ensure sustainable financing of economic diversification, and promote priority sectors and SMEs in Gabon.  The final (indirect) beneficiary of PADEG is the entire Gabonese population and more particularly, the poorest sections. Improving the investment climate and revitalizing priority sectors in the timber and mining sectors will boost investment and employment. The direct beneficiaries are public departments (Ministry of SMEs and SMIs  Ministry of Mines  Ministry of Forests  Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development), state structures involved in improving the investment climate, the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), national economic operators (SMEs and SMIs) and foreign investors.

ETUDE D'UN PLAN DE DEVELOPPEMENT MINIER. The present study of a mining development plan in Morocco is indispensable, and will redefine a strategy and measures to revitalize the mining sector of this country, which has been experiencing persistent difficulties for some years. The establishment of the mining development plan is justified by the place occupied by the mining activity in the Moroccan economy, and the current difficult situation in the sector for several years due to both external and internal factors. The study should seek in Morocco and possibly elsewhere, all the information necessary to know the potentialities and problems of the Moroccan mining industry, in order to propose conclusions and recommendations applicable in the short and medium term, especially for the revitalization and sustainable development of the sector. The overall cost is estimated at 1.9 million FCU, for a study that will last about 15 months.  The study focuses on the search for a new strategy of mining development policy in Morocco, the definition of institutional redevelopment measures to give more efficiency to the institutions of the sector while reducing the burden on the budget of the State, and to make the mining sector more attractive for domestic and foreign private investors.  The program will benefit directly to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

The program will benefit directly from the Moroccan National Agricultural Credit Fund (CNCA).

Ethiopia - Basic Services Transformation Programme (BSTP). The Basic Services Transformation Programme (BSTP) is a 3-year Sector Budget Support programme. The programme cost is UA 180 million to be disbursed in three installments of equal amount of UA 60 million over three fiscal years (FY2015/16 to 2017/18) based on disbursement triggers agreed with the government. The BSTP aims to contribute to the reduction of poverty and improve the standard of living of Ethiopia by expanding and deepening provision of basic services with a focus on improving quality and enhancing equity. The BSTP is a successor programme to PBS III (FY2012/13 -2014/15). The Bank has been supporting the PBS with an overarching objective of increasing access to basic services and strengthening accountability at decentralized level since 2006 alongside other Development Partners, including the World Bank, DFID, EU, Austria and Italy. The programme will be closely coordinated with interventions of other DPs such as World Bank, EU and DFID.  The programme outcomes include: (i) expanded and enhanced quality of basic services at the woreda level  (ii) strengthened accountability and transparency in service delivery  and (iii) enhanced citizen’s engagement in service delivery. The beneficiaries of the programme are the whole population (90 million) particularly women, the rural population and emerging regions. The expected output include: (i) increased budget predictability to woredas for basic service through block grants  (ii) improved quality of basic services in health, education and water and sanitation at woreda level  (iii) enhanced equity in delivery of basic services in health, education and water and sanitation at woreda level  (iv) enhanced transparency and accountability through citizen engagement  and (v) improved performance in financial management at woreda level.  The beneficiaries of the programme are the whole population (90 million) particularly women, the rural poor and emerging regions. Despite significant achievement in expanding access to basic services, evidence indicates that emerging regions and pastoral communities have not benefited as much as expected. Most emerging regions are characterized by scattered and often pastoral communities, making it more challenging to provide basic social services, thus creating huge disparities in access to and use of essential basic services.

Construction of the Marrakesh - Agadir Motorway Project. The present project is relative to the Marrakesh-Agadir Motorway. It comprises the construction of 233.5 km of motorway linking Marrakesh to Agadir consisting of two 7m-wide carriageways, a 2.5 emergency lane, a 1- metre berm, a 5m central reserve and two 1m shoulders. The project aims at improving the standard of living of the people and reducing unemployment by supporting the economic development of the country, notably the tourist sector. It should facilitate the export of farm exports by boosting transport capacities between Marrakesh and Agadir by improving the safety of users of this road. It forms part of the structuring infrastructure development plans at both national and regional levels. The project components are as follows: (i) construction of the Marrakesh–Agadir motorway  (ii) environmental management and measures  and (iii) project management.  The sector goal is to improve the standard of living of the communities and create jobs by supporting the country’s economic development, especially the tourist and agro-industry sectors. Specifically, the project contribute to strengthening transport capacities between Marrakesh and Agadir and improving the standard of living of the communities in the project area through the development of productive activities. It should also contribute to reducing vehicle operating costs and transport safety between Marrakesh and Agadir.  The project should create conditions for the development of the tourist sector as well as provide additional employment to the people notably those in the Souss region. Farmers in the region should benefit from the transport and export facilities provided by the project and could increase their incomes. In view of the quality of the motorway infrastructure, users should be safer and will be less exposed to the frequent personal and fatal accidents due to the poor quality and layout of the RN8. As a result of the construction of the motorway, the local communities, mainly rural, should benefit from the creation of income-generating activities along the corridor and in the services areas. Health and education services will be more accessible as a result of the mobility consequential to this high capacity infrastructure.

Ethiopia – Seven Roads Studies. The Seven Roads Studies are designed because of the lack of proper road transport infrastructure is a constraint to development of the agriculture resource potential of the western and southern areas of Ethiopia. The studies fit into the current Government of Ethiopia’s strategy of preparing projects. It aims to improve and expend the essential infrastructure with a view to support economic and social development programs. In addition, the improvement of the roads should help to connect to the neighbouring countries of Sudan and Kenya and would lead to integration and promotion of inter-African trade and commerce. The studies also aim at the preparation of detailed engineering designs for the viable options for the execution of contract of the road sections (i) Konso- Yebello (ii) Woito- Omo Rate and (iii) Sawla- Kako.  The objectives of the studies are to determine the technical feasibility and economic viability of improving the seven roads in order to lower the transport costs sufficiently to meet the needs of the existing, planned and future economic and social development in these areas.  The studies should benefit the Ethiopian State.

Ethiopia - Jima-Mizan Road Upgrading Project. The upgrading of 227.18-km Jima-Mizan road from gravel to bitumen standard has been conceived under the Road Sector Development Program (RSDP II). The project road links the towns of Jima and Mizan and forms part of the south western corridor route from Addis Ababa. It serves the highly fertile coffee-growing areas and thus plays a strategic role in linking this large area with its high agricultural potential to the rest of the country. The road also plays an important role in linking small towns, villages, and scattered communities along the route and fulfils a vital role in transporting goods locally and maintaining social ties. The project comprises the following components: i) Construction/upgrading works of the 227.18-km Jima – Mizan road from gravel road to Asphalt Concrete standard  ii) Consultancy Services for (a) supervision of construction works of (i) above and (b) project audit services  and iii) Resettlement/Payment of Compensation to affected population. Its implementation will lead to the opening up of Addis Ababa – South Western Road Corridor to the Border of Northern Kenya and Southern Sudan. The project will promote effective market integration of the zone of influence to the national economy and to foreign markets. The estimated cost is UA 101.53 million (net of taxes) and will be implemented over a period of 36 months starting January 2008.  The sectoral objective of the project is to improve the efficiency and the capacity of the transport system to support economic and social development in Ethiopia on a sustainable basis. The objective of the project is to improve road transport service levels between the towns of Jima and Mizan and to facilitate market integration of the zone with the rest of the country and export markets.  The immediate beneficiaries of the proposed road upgrading are the populations living directly adjacent to the road and traders who market goods in the area. Given the dominance of agricultural activities in the area, farmers will also benefit from the road by removing transport constraints on agriculture. The upgraded and all-weather road communication between Jima and Mizan Teferi forms the main link trunk road for exporting coffee from the Keffa area to other parts of the country and for export. Livestock farmers will also benefit as improved road surface makes extension service able to penetrate project area. The other stakeholders who are affected by the project are landowners, the local/district authorities, NGOs and other Community Based Organizations (CBOs). There is also the potential of opening up of the interior of the project area, with its waterfalls, lakes and hot springs, to both local and international tourism.

Ethiopia - Bedele-Metu Road Upgrading Project. The Bedele – Metu Road Upgrading Project is designed as a standalone operation within a multi-donor supported sub-program whose objective is to connect Ethiopia with South Sudan as well as improve the local road network. In addition, it is within the broad five year RSDP-IV (2011-15) program. The project consist in upgrading of an existing 112km road to all weather high standard road with a wide carriageway and asphaltic surfacing. For the most part, the project road will serve the Illu Aba Bobra zone (covering Bedele and Metu towns) with a population of about 1.3 million people. The road will connect the two towns of Bedele and Metu with Addis Ababa city. The project will cost UA 50.31 million and will be implemented over a period of 4 years.  The project objective is to connect Bedele and Metu towns with a asphalt concrete road and thereby connect the region with the commercial and administrative city of Addis Ababa. The outcomes include improved road network, reduced travel times and travel cost for all road users and improved road safety, HIV/AIDS awareness, gender sensitization and forestation.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will include small holder farmers, traders, agro-businesses and transporters. The general population will have improved access to social amenities and economic centres.

Ethiopia - Agricultural Sector Support Project (ASSP). The Agricultural Sector Support Project (ASSP) directly addresses the major aspects of the agriculture issues in Ethiopia through measures that reduce the vulnerability of rural people by focusing on conservation (soil and water) and small-scale irrigation. It sets out a process for ensuring the active participation of both men and women in project activities including significant funds for institutional strengthening and capacity building. Through the measures proposed and with the adoption of water harvesting activities by other rural communities, the food gap should close over time. At the end of the 5-year project, the size of the vulnerable population in the target areas should be significantly reduced. The components of the project are: i) Small-Scale Irrigation  ii) Integrated Ecosystem Management  iii) Crop Development and Marketing  iv) Capacity and Institutional Development  v) Project Coordinating and Management.  The objective of the project is to improve rural livelihoods and food security among the drought-prone and vulnerable food insecure population, through the promotion of SSI and RWH and environmental conservation and capacity development for all stakeholders.  Small Scale Irrigation (SSI) and Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) techniques will benefit rural communities living in the arid and semi-arid drought prone and vulnerable Woredas within the selected Regions. In all, about 28,000 households will benefit from participating in the small scale irrigation, while a total of 58,230 household would benefit from the rain water harvesting (macro catchment soil treatment 23,600), drinking water (23,600), backyard agricultural production (2,950), and livestock ponds (8,080).

Morocco - Water Access Sustainability Security Project (PPSAE) - (Additional Financing). The main goal of the Water Access Sustainability and Security Project (PPSAE) is to secure access to drinking water in the Guercif, Zagora, Al Hoceima, Tangier and Béni Mellal provinces. The project design was based on the priority needs identified by ONEE-BO (ONEE Water Branch) under its 2016-2020 investment programme. The area includes all these regions’ urban and rural agglomerations witnessing a significant industrial boom, in view of the new “Mohammed VI Tangier Tech” City in Tangier, the Tadla Agropole Project at Béni Mellal, as well as other industrial and agro-industrial zones in El Hoceima and Béni Mellal. The project was estimated in 2018 to cost UA 194 million (Bank-financed activities cost of UA 97 million, comprising an ADB loan of EUR 79.33 million and an AGTF loan of USD 43.36 million), and was expected to be implemented over five (5) years (2019-2023). The proposed supplementary financing is justified by the particular social and health context, linked to the COVID-19 crisis, which broke out in Morocco in early 2020. It is also justified by the PPSAE’s integrated and indissociable activities, and finally by the urgency of the water stress experienced in the regions benefiting from the loan, namely Tangier, Guercif and Zagora, and the need to find rapid solutions to remedy this problem. The project is designed to secure access to drinking water in both urban and rural areas in the designated regions.  The project aims to meet the increased need for drinking and industrial water in these areas up to 2040 (in line with the Morocco's Water Strategy 2040). The project aims to strengthen and secure access to drinking water in several urban and rural areas in Tangier, El Hoceima, Guercif, Béni Mellal and Zagora Provinces, by safeguarding and/or upgrading water production (water source, supply and/or treatment).  The project will benefit the populations of Guercif, Zagora, Al Hoceima and Béni Mellal, currently about 1.2 million (60% of which live in rural areas). It will also benefit communities in and around Tangier, with an estimated population of 1.3 million. Therefore, the project will benefit over 2.5 million people initially, and over 3.3 million in 2040, within the project's time scale.

Omo-Ghibe Master Plan Study (Grant). The objective of this study is to enable the GOE to prepare a Master Plan for the development of the Omo-Ghibe River Basin, to facilitate the optimum use, both at regional and national levels, of all physical, human and animal resourses in the basin, with the minimum of adverse environmental impacts.

Morocco - Noor Midelt Solar Central Project - Phase I. The project is part of the deployment of the Moroccan Solar  Programme (NOOR), which aims to develop a total power generating capacity of at least 2 000 MW by 2020. The first project under this programme was the Ouarzazate complex, with a total capacity of 580 MW, spread over four plants. The first plant (160 MW) was commissioned in January 2016 and the others will go operational in 2018. Two other sites totalling100 MW are currently being  developed  and  will  be  commissioned  in  2018.  The project  before  the  Board aims  to developtwo solar power plants (NOORMI and NOORMII) with a cumulative capacity of up to 800 MW, under a public-private partnership (PPP). Theplants will be connected to the national grid and will have a total annual output estimated at 1 886 GWh, thus guaranteeing electricity supplyfor more than 2 million Moroccans (almost 6% of the total population) and helping to avoid the release into the atmosphere of greenhouse gases equivalent to 0.7 million tonnes of CO2per year. The project will help to improve the security of power supply in Morocco (whereelectricity is used by 99% of the population). It will be implemented by MASEN based on the same mechanisms  put in place for previous projects  (NOOR Ouarzazate Solar Complex -Phases I & II),  which were financed  by  the  same  donors  (including  the Bank) and  whose performance in terms of implementation is deemed satisfactory. The total cost of the project is estimated  at  EUR  2  048  million.  The  donors  involved  in  itsfinancing  are,  in  addition  to  the Bank and the CTF, AFD, WB, EIB, KFW and NIF/EU. The project will be implemented over 48 months (2018-2021).  The objective of the project is to contribute to reducing  Morocco's dependence on external sources for its energy  supply and on imported fossil fuels, by developing electricity generation  from  renewable sources, using  innovative technologies. The NOOR Midelt Solar Complex Project will  be  implemented  in  several  phases  under  a  PPP power generation arrangement, covering the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of solar power plants over a 25-year period. The first phase will comprise two hybrid solar power plants (NOORMI  and  NOORMII) -based  on  a  mix  of  CSP  and  PV  technologies. The  purpose  of mixing the two technologies within the same plant is to: (i) reduce electricity generation costs by taking advantage of lower solar PV costs  (ii) generate electricity during the day using the PV  and/or  the  CSP  (daytime  power  generation  could  be  exclusively  PV-based)   and  (iii) generate electricity at night  time using  the  CSP  technology.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: the Moroccan  State, MASEN, private sponsors, ONEE, productive sectors (industries, transport, agriculture, etc.) and especially the Moroccan population, more than 99% of which uses electricity. Hence, the project is inclusive in nature, and will contribute to improving the regularity and availability of power supply in all Moroccan homes. The project’s two plants project will be connected to the national power grid and will each have an estimated annual output of 943 GWh, amounting to a total of 1 886 GWh. Given that Morocco’s average per capita electricity consumption stood at approximately 900 kWh/year  in  2015,  the project’s two  power  plants  will  guarantee electricity supply for more than 2 million people, or nearly 6% of the total population. As far as the State is concerned, the project will help to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels (coal, gas and fuel oil) for its power generation, thereby improving its balance of payments.

PAAIM is a two-phase programme-based sector budget support (SBS) covering the periods 2017/2018 and 2019/2020. Therefore, the programme contributes to addressing the major challenges and constraints that Morocco faces in achieving sustainable and balanced socio-economic development. The implementation of the first phase of the programme (PAAIM I), financed to the tune of USD 200 million, is considered satisfactory. The programme supported flagship measures to enhance the competitiveness of Moroccan export industries and fostered the emergence of renewable energy financing tools through the issuing of green bonds. It also helped to improve the legal framework for industrial land and support industrial subcontracting enterprises through better-targeted tax incentives. Lastly, the programme initiated the development of guarantees for women entrepreneurs. PAAIM II, which is the second phase of the programme, will continue to implement the reforms already initiated during the 2017/2018 period (PAAIM I) to cover the 2019/2020 period, to facilitate alignment with the country’s development policies and create the conditions for inclusive, resilient and sustainable growth. It will contribute to achieving the following outcomes: i) greater support for the promotion of industrial investments  ii) greater support for the promotion of industrial exports  iii) the support for the financing of SME development  and iv) the facilitation of business start-ups and green financing.  The main objective of the Industrialisation Acceleration Support Programme in Morocco is to contribute to creating conditions conducive to industrial competitiveness by establishing an institutional, technological and financial framework to foster rapid industrialisation in the country through greater support for export industrial enterprises and innovative start-ups. Its specific objectives are to: (i) improve the competitiveness of the industrial fabric  and (ii) support the financing of industrial economic activities.  The programme’s direct beneficiaries are the private sector, particularly the industrial private sector, through a number of reforms which, when implemented, will help to improve investment and industrial product export conditions. SMEs, especially women-headed SMEs, are also indirect beneficiaries of PAAIM II in that the measures identified should facilitate business and allow easier and more diversified access to financing in the industrial sector. The indirect beneficiaries are Moroccan citizens who will enjoy the country's stabilised macroeconomic situation and increased economic growth through the creation of sustainable jobs particularly in the industrial sector.

Morocco - Inclusive and Sustainable Development Support Program for Agricultural Sectors (PADIDFA). The Inclusive and Sustainable Development Support Programme for Agricultural Sectors (PADIDFA) is intended to sustain and consolidate the achievements of Green Morocco Plan (PMV), and launch its acceleration phase (2017-2020). It is a EUR 200 million sector budget support operation in two tranches to be executed over the 2018-2019 period to help achieve the objectives of PMV. The programme helps the authorities with the formulation and implementation of inter-sector strategic reforms to strengthen the social and environmental dimensions of the PMV and promote inclusion, sustainability and competitiveness in Morocco’s agricultural sector. Its design is informed by lessons from Phases I and II of PAPMV (cf. 4.4.3), the principles of the Paris Declaration as well as good practice principles for the application of conditionality. PADIDFA supports a series of medium- and short-term strategic reforms to improve the quality of life for the people through quality jobs and self-employment in rural areas, and the protection of such jobs through sustainable natural resource management. It is an important institutional lever for creating synergies between strategies governing agriculture, the environment, water, energy and employment.  The programme objective is to help boost agricultural sector competitiveness to ensure inclusive and sustainable economic growth through the promotion of value chains, job creation, improvement of the business climate and sustainable natural resource management. Hence, PADIDFA will help to: (i) support the PMV ecosystem and amplify its impact  (ii) promote the inclusion of vulnerable stakeholders (especially the youth and women)  and (iii) build agricultural sector resilience.  PADIDFA will benefit the Moroccan population in general, and the youth and women in the rural areas in particular. It will specifically benefit: (i) local councils  (ii) inter-professional associations and professional organizations  (iii) agricultural VSMEs and organizations (crop sectors, waste management, etc.)  (iii) the private sector (training, research, private agricultural councils, etc.)  (iv) project proponents and young agricultural and rural entrepreneurs due to improvement of the business environment  and (v) women's associations and rural women (access to value chains, land tenure security, local services, etc.).

Gabon - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme. The proposed operation concerns a Euros 200 million ADB loan to the Republic of Gabon to finance the Economic and Financial Reforms Support Programme (PAREF). PAREF is aligned with the Emerging Gabon Strategic Plan (PSGE) and the Social Pact which both present the 2025 development vision with a focus on three strategic thrusts: i) consolidation of the foundations of emergence, ii) development of the pillars of emergence and (iii) shared prosperity. This is the first of two programme-based General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the 2016-17 period as planned under the CSP, for an indicative total financing of Euros 500 million supporting the implementation of reforms aimed at consolidating public finances, structural transformation of the economy and unlocking Gabon’s significant growth potential. This support follows upon a request submitted to the Bank by the Government of Gabon in April 2016 in a context marked by a deterioration in the country’s budgetary situation due to the steady drop in oil prices. It is justified by the fact that it will help to create the fiscal space needed for the restoration of macroeconomic stability and continued sustainable implementation of the Emerging Gabon Strategic Plan (PSGE). The operation responds to Gabon's need to strengthen the foundations for diversified, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and to consolidate its reserves with the BEAC. The design of PAREF builds on two complementary guiding principles in response to the following challenges: (i) improving fiscal consolidation to restore macroeconomic stability  and (ii) strengthening economic diversification to foster inclusive growth.  The objectives of the operation are twofold: (i) strengthening the sustainability of public finances  and (ii) supporting the diversification of the economy through improvement of the investment climate, access to financing and agricultural sector competitiveness.  PAREF will benefit the Gabonese population as a whole through more significant public resources, streamlining of expenditure and specific reforms aimed at supporting strong, sustained, diversified and employment-generating growth. It will be of particular benefit to the following groups: (i) vulnerable populations that will benefit from better infrastructure and quality social services thanks to the fiscal space that will make it possible to implement the reforms supported by PAREF, (ii) Gabonese entrepreneurs and foreign investors wishing to set up a business or invest within the framework of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) who will benefit from a more incentive and more transparent framework, (iii) Gabonese SMES having credit access challenges  (iv) public, private and community stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector who will benefit from a more suitable framework for their activities.

Gabon - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme – Phase II (PAREF II). The Support Program for Economic and Financial Reforms - Phase II (PAREF-II) is the second phase of a series of two programmatic General Budget Support (GBS) operations. It aims to consolidate the achievements of PAREF-I and to support the Gabonese government in the implementation of its development program aimed at promoting accelerated and inclusive economic growth. PAREF-II, like PAREF-I, focuses on the following two complementary components: (i) strengthening fiscal consolidation to restore macroeconomic stability  and (ii) support for the diversification of the economy for inclusive growth through the improvement of the investment climate, access to finance and the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. This program should provide the authorities with the necessary resources to absorb external shocks related mainly to the fall in oil prices, consolidate reserves with the Central Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and to facilitate the implementation of the reforms necessary for the consolidation of public finances and the structural transformation of the economy. Its cost is estimated at EUR 500 million.  The PAREF-II objective is to support the implementation of the Government’s Development Programme in order to create the conditions for accelerated and inclusive economic growth through fiscal consolidation and economic diversification.  PAREF will benefit the Gabonese population as a whole through more significant public resources, streamlining of expenditure and specific reforms aimed at supporting strong, sustained, diversified and job-creating growth. It will be of particular benefit to the following groups: (i) vulnerable populations that will benefit from better infrastructure and quality social services as a result of the fiscal space that will make it possible to implement the reforms supported by PAREF, (ii) Gabonese entrepreneurs and foreign investors wishing to set up a business or invest within the framework of Public -Private Partnerships (PPP) who will benefit from a more incentive and more transparent framework, (iii) Gabonese SMEs with credit access difficulties  (iv) public, private and community stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector who will benefit from a more suitable framework for their activities.

Ethiopia - Koga Irrigation and Watershed Management Project. The Koga Irrigation and Watershed Management Project is designed in order to contribute towards poverty reduction amongst small holders in the Region through improvement in food security. It's in conformity with the Bank group’s assistance strategy in Ethiopia and the development strategy of the Government both of which focus on poverty reduction in general and ensuring food security in particular. In addition, the project should impact positively on food consumption and nutrition practices thereby promoting human and economic development in the Region. The most important positive impact of the project is to sustain and build the capacities of farmers in practicing the demand-driven approach. At the community level the project promotes a participatory approach which allows for a sense of ownership. A positive impact on women should be social and economic empowerment as well as improved family livelihoods. The project comprises four main components: (i) Irrigation Development  (ii) Watershed Management  (iii) Capacity Building  and (iv) Project Coordination and Management.  The overall sector goal of the project is to contribute towards poverty reduction among smallholders through improvement in food security in the Region in particular and the country as a whole, consistent with the government's policies of sustainable environment and agricultural development. The specific objective of the project is to improve agricultural production in the catchment and command areas of the Koga River valley in a sustainable manner.  The beneficiaries are the populations of the project area which is located in the Mecha Woreda and includes parts or all of 19 KAs and is believed to comprise about 12,000 households. The majority of these are dependent upon farming for their livelihood. Although there are no figures available for female headed households in the Region, nationally the figure varies from 6 to 30, and are reported to be worse off than average.

Gabon - Infrastructure Sector Support Project - Phase I (PASIG-I). This Infrastructure Sector Support Project - Phase I (PASIG-I) is an investment operation. This first phase consists mainly of: (a) construction and asphalting of the Ndendé-Doussala road section (49 km) and the border bridge over the Ngongo River  (b) construction and asphalting of 21,280 km of roads in Libreville, including related developments (sanitation, street lighting, beautification)  and (c) detailed sector and technical studies to feed a substantial pipeline of transformative projects in the road subsector. The project is part of the Trans-Gabonese corridor development scheme expected to link Libreville to Mayumba in the South, and crosses timber, mining, metallurgy, agro-industry, fishing, livestock and ecotourism hubs, among others. However, developing the economic potential in the project impact area, which is limited to Ngounié Province, is currently undermined by the poor state of transport infrastructure. The main expected outcomes include improved logistics chain service on this road axis as well as mobility and living conditions for people in the PIA. The project will reduce travel distances by increasing the access rate to basic services for residents of the PIA. Covering the period 2020-2023, PASIG I is structured around five components include, apart from road works on the Ndendé - Doussala section and urban roads, ancillary developments (rural roads and social action) and other measures aimed at better protecting the road infrastructure and facilitating transportation.  PASIG I overall objective is to help open up Ngounié Province and reduce transport time and costs on the Libreville - Brazzaville corridor. Specifically, the project aims to: (i) improve the efficiency of the transport logistics chain  (ii) reduce the cost of transporting products on the Libreville/Brazzaville link  (iii) improve travel conditions in Libreville and (iv) contribute to improving access to socio-economic infrastructure for people in the project impact area.  The main project beneficiaries are agricultural workers, particularly women, who are experiencing difficulties in sourcing inputs and selling their products due to poor conditions along the corridor. Other project beneficiaries are industrialists, transporters and shippers whose operating and logistics costs will be substantially reduced with the development of the axis and the opening of rural roads. The project will also benefit the urban residents of Libreville.

Ethiopia - Rural Financial Intermediation Project (RFIP). The present project relates to the Rural Financial Intermediation Project (RFIP). It's designed because of the difficulties experienced by the populations in the rural financial intermediation sector. Indeed, in Ethiopia: (1) access to credit is one of the major constraints for agriculture and rural development, (2) there exist unmet demands for financial services particularly credit as evident from the findings of the study of the state of rural financial intermediaries in 2000, and (3) there exist financial intermediaries such as microfinance institutions (MFIS) and community-based organizations such as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAS) but lack adequate loan funds and capacities to deliver demand-driven services to rural households. The RUFIP is therefore initiated to strengthen existing financial intermediaries for effective and sustainable provision of demand-driven financial services to rural households. The project comprises four components namely: (i) institutional development of MFIs and Rural Savings and Credit Cooperative (RUSACCOs)  (ii) regulatory framework and supervisory oversight  (iii) Line of credit through Development Bank of Ethiopia (DBE) to eligible MFIs and RUSACCOs, and commercial banks that buy equity in willing MFIs  and (iv) programme coordination and management.  The overall objective of the Rural Financial Intermediation Project (RFIP) is to support the diversification of the income and assets of rural poor households through the establishment of an efficient and sustainable demand-driven financial system.  The main targeted beneficiaries are rural households particularly the poor rural. Other beneficiaries included the MFIs, Rural Savings and Credit Cooperative (RUSACCOs) and Unions, Federal & Regional Cooperative Promotion Bureaus (FCPB & RCPB), Micro-Finance Supervision Division (MFSD) of National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), and the Association of Ethiopian Micro-Finance Institutions (AEMFI).

Gore-Tepi Road (ADB) (P). The objectives of the project are to construct an all weather road linking Gore and Tepi and so provide improved access between the south west area of Ilubabor Regional capital of Mettu. The project road will connect the area's hinterland activities to the national road network, increase the development of a potentially rich agricultural land and improve the social service coverage in the south west area.

CONSERVATION DES RESSOURCES NATURELLES. The Natural Resources Conservation Project (PCRN) is the first project of the Bank Group in Morocco in the forestry sector. It was conceived within the framework of the national development plans of 1988-1992 and 1993-1997 of the forest sector of Morocco which was to allow thanks to the reforestation and various developments to rebuild forest resources, develop silvopastoralism, open up certain forest areas, while preserving natural ecosystems and biodiversity. The project can be considered as a large-scale test of the Department's ability to organize, coordinate, execute these programs as well as revealing external and internal constraints, some of which repeat themselves are of a structural nature (climatic constraints, budget cuts, administrative procedures, logistical means). Its implementation is based on the execution of 7 components namely: (i) the reforestation of 10,000 ha of pines and eucalyptus, (ii) the development of 284,700 ha of new plan forests and 80,200 ha of plan revision, (iii) silvo-pastoral management, which includes the depressing of the holm oak, matorral control, fertilization, herbaceous planting, planting of fodder shrubs and fencing, (iv) assisted regeneration by sowing and planting in natural forests as well as defenciation and complementary regeneration by concentrated planting and fencing in forest gaps, (v) watershed management, (vi) strengthening forestry services, (vii) carrying out studies on protected areas and the watershed of Wadi Ouergha.  The project has the following specific objectives: soil protection, resolution of acute multi-purpose wood supply problems (firewood, service wood, timber, cork) and fodder, watershed protection against the different forms of erosion and better management of the national heritage in fauna and flora that can have beneficial effects on the natural environment.

First line of credit to Caisse Nationale de Crédit Agricole (CNCA). The present project concerns an agricultural credit line of UA 10 million granted to the Caisse Nationale de Crédit Agricole to finance its operations during the 1982-83 marketing year. The project is expected to contribute to increased crop production that would increase income and thereby improve the socio-economic conditions of participating farmers. At the national level, it should help the Moroccan government achieve its goal of increasing production and food self-sufficiency.  The main purpose of the loan is primarily to enable small farmers to purchase inputs (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides) and pay the cost of field operations (land preparation, cultivation, harvest) associated with the production of cereals and sugarbeet /cane crops.  The direct beneficiary of the credit line is the Caisse Nationale de Crédit Agricole. In addition, the ultimate beneficiaries are the peasants.

PROG D'AJUST DU SECTEUR AGRICOLE PH.II. The Agricultural Sector Adjustment Program Phase II (PASA II) is part of the agricultural policy of the Moroccan government itself resulting from the basic orientations of the five-year plan 1981/85 economic and social development which aims as objectives: meeting the country's needs for basic agricultural products, increased participation of the agricultural sector in import coverage and improved farmers' incomes. As for PASA I, the PASA II loan is intended to finance the importation of inputs such as fertilizers and raw materials, agricultural chemicals, feedstuffs and veterinary products, petroleum products, seeds and seedlings. It will finance in particular a portion of the foreign exchange costs of five of the following six components: i) fertilizers and raw materials  (ii) agricultural machinery and spare parts  iii) seeds and seedlings  iv) agricultural chemicals  (v) animal feed and veterinary products  (vi) petroleum products. The program covers the two crop years 1987-1988 and 1988-1989. The actions of this second phase of the PASA revolve around the same axes as those defined for the first phase. They are part of Morocco's economic recovery plan.  The general objectives of the Agricultural Sector Adjustment Program Phase II (FSEP II) are: consolidate the adjustments made during the PASA I, to promote the production of the agricultural sector, to reduce the deficit of public finances and improve the balance of payments.  The program will benefit directly to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Morocco - Financial Stability and Inclusion Strengthening Support Programme. The Financial Stability and Inclusion Reinforcement Support Program (PARSIF) is a budget support for the implementation of reforms to enhance the stability and inclusiveness of the Moroccan financial sector. As part of the structural reforms initiated over the last twenty years and supported by several programs of the Bank (PASFI and PADESFI), PARSIF intends to consolidate and deepen the major achievements of these programs by incorporating new priorities, in particular, servicing the retirement sector, improving the living conditions of retirees, and improving access to finance for a small group of farmers. The Program is designed around two main pillars. The first one aims at strengthening the resilience and role of the insurance and retirement sector in improving the populations’ quality of life. The second one is to strengthen the stability and the role of the banking sector and the capital markets in improving of the population’s quality of life. The program, which will be implemented over one year, will provide the Government with the financial resources needed to implement its policy and continue its reform efforts in a context of budget deficit.  The goal of PARSIF is to contribute to creating the necessary conditions to further strengthen the stability and inclusiveness of the Moroccan financial sector, by strengthening the financing of the economy and in particular of very small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) while improving the population's quality of life. More specifically, the program aims to (i) strengthen the resilience of the insurance and retirement  sectors and deepen their inclusiveness  and (ii) enhance stability while deepening the inclusive role of the banking and capital market sector.  The final beneficiary of the program is the Moroccan population as a whole. The population will benefit from the improved quality of life that will result from inclusive economic growth that will generate jobs and income. The main potential beneficiaries will include: (i) the current and future retirees who will benefit from perennial pension schemes allowing them to regularly collect their pension  (ii) self-employed persons, including informal sector workers, who will now have a pension coverage  (iii) women through their greater participation in banks and financial institutions’ boards of directors , (iv) the private and parapublic sectors, which will be able to rely more on healthier and more vibrant resources from institutional investors (insurance companies and pension funds)  (v) farmers (individuals or cooperatives) who will be benefit from a better access to credit   and also (vi) the youth who will be able to better translate their creative geniuses into reality by an improved start-up financing.

Madagascar - SME Business Linkages Program. The Madagascar SME Business Linkages Program (BLP) is a transformative and integrated program that links SMEs to new business contracts, provides finance and skills. The Madagascar SME BLP, through multidimensional support, addresses the three main constraints faced by MSMEs in Africa, and particularly in fragile and low-income environments. The program provides capacity building to strengthen MSMEs productivity. A wide range of business-related training and coaching sessions will be provided. It will include entrepreneurship, core business functions and management training (e.g. business strategy, management information systems, marketing and human resources). Its interventions will (i) strengthen the capacities of MSME managers, (ii) facilitate their access to finance as well as (iii) enhance local and foreign market opportunities for MSMEs. In addition, a study, scoping the business environment for SMEs will be conducted in order to undertake policy reforms in the future. The implementation period of the Madagascar SME BLP is 3 years with expected start in the second quarter of 2020.  The Madagascar SME BLP aims to support MSMEs productivity to grow, develop economies of scale and creates better employment opportunities for women and youth in the textile and agribusiness sectors. The program objective is to support inclusive SME development through business linkages. This objective will be achieved through skills capacity building in management, and access to finance and markets. The ultimate result is to support job creation targeting youth and women, and economic growth.  The main target beneficiaries of the program are Malagasy MSMEs that have been operational for at least two (2) years. The priority sectors are agribusiness, textile, manufacturing, and services. A few large firms, 2 mining companies, 2 hotels, 2 supermarket chains, and 3 textile manufacturers, have already expressed interests in participating in the project. However, during the preparatory mission, some SMEs indicated that they sell directly to clients inside and outside Madagascar. Therefore, the training components should include those firms. The project will also ensure a high representation of women-led enterprises, at least 40% of participants. While the project will mostly target formal businesses, informal businesses with high growth potential and willingness to formalize will not be excluded. Such firms will be supported in their formalization process. Additional direct beneficiaries include the local company that will partner on the platform, the local training company, BDS providers (through improved content and BDS delivery mechanisms), partnering financial institutions (increased lending to MSMEs) and local purchasers that will benefit from reduced cost of inputs and reliable suppliers. The Government will also indirectly benefit through increased taxes, reduced imports (hence savings on foreign currency), increase job creation and ultimately increased dynamism of the private sector.

Tunisia - Railway infrastructure modernization project. The project for modernization of railway infrastructure is one component of Transport Sector Programme (TSP) for the period 1997-2001, and it aims to upgrade the transport sector by improving transport service efficiency and quality. The project as designed, is part of the efforts towards modernization of SNCFT production capacity, in line with the exigencies of transport market competitivity.  It aids the strengthening of the production facilities and thus i) improve the conditions for safe circulation of trains  ii) minimize degradation of equipment and installations as a result of the state of the track  iii) improve the quality of service through reduction of travel time on the Tunis-Ghardimaou, Tunis-Sousse and Tunis-Gabès lines and introduce a real- time passenger information system  iv) to save on operating costs  and improve passenger and employee safety on the lines concerned.  By enabling SNCFT to be more competitive, the project will make it possible to decrease the State subsidy to USD 80 million yearly during the 9th plan, which is 20% less than would have been required in the absence of the railroad reforms. It will be implemented over a total period of 48 months.  The project is intended to upgrade the transport sector by increasing its efficiency and quality of services. Specifically, its objective is to strengthen the transport capacity of SNCFT under the best conditions of cost-effectiveness and safety as well as to improve the quality of service of SNCFT, so as to adapt it to a more competitive environment on the domestic transport market.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Tunisian National Railway Company (SNCFT). The investments proposed performance contract will restore the transport capacity of SNCFT at an acceptable cost. By creating the conditions for efficient and reliable transport, the SNCFT restructuring is helping to promote export and competitiveness of Tunisian phosphate production.

Madagascar - Africa Disaster Risks Financing Programme (ADRIFI). The Africa Disaster Risks Financing Programme (ADRiFi) will reinforce Madagascar's disaster risks management (DRM) efforts through the establishment of an effective early warning system, a contingency plan and national response mechanisms adapted to the country, as well as provide an immediate, more economical and effective response to drought. ADRiFi will build Madagascar's capacity in disaster risk assessment, early warning systems and contingency plans, and support the country's participation in the sovereign risk transfer mechanism of the African Risk Capacity (ARC). In-depth preparedness will enable the country to rapidly deploy funds based on pre-approved disaster contingency plans, thus securing the environment for small-scale farmers and the livelihood of rural dwellers in the event of drought. The programme targets areas of the country that are vulnerable to risks of disasters related to tropical cyclones, floods and drought. Due to the drought risk coverage provided by the ARC as part of the programme, the programme’s target area is the "Great South" of Madagascar because of its high vulnerability to drought. The ADRiFi programme has three components: (i) developing climate risk management solutions  (ii) Supporting access to disaster risk transfer solutions  and (iii) Programme management and coordination. The programme covers a 5-year period (2019-2023) and will cost UA 3.29 million.  The programme has the following specific objectives: (i) build Madagascar's capacity to assess the risks and costs of climate hazards, particularly drought, and develop subsequent adaptation measures at national and subnational level  and (ii) provide rapid-response funding (including disbursement of emergency funds) to address climate hazards at national and local levels.  The direct ADRiFi beneficiaries are the Government of Madagascar and Government agencies involved in DRM such as the CPGU, BNRC and the General Directorate of Meteorology. These agencies will benefit from technical capacity building in risk modelling and profiling through the use of Africa RiskView (ARV) software. The indirect beneficiaries of the ADRIFI Programme in Madagascar are the most vulnerable segments of the population - particularly women - in Madagascar’s “Great South” (especially the southeast and highlands, which are the most drought-affected areas). These include Atsimo Andrefana, Androy and Anosy regions. The targeted beneficiaries are estimated at 4% of the Malagasy population, or over 60% of the “Great South” population.

Madagascar - Economic Competitiveness Support Programme - Phase II (PACE II). The Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (PACE) is a three-year programme-based operation covering the 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial years. The first phase approved in November 2017 provided a list of reform measures indicatively considered as conditions precedent to the second phase, which have all been fulfilled. The outcomes of the first phase (PACE I) were deemed highly satisfactory. All planned measures to establish a suitable regulatory and institutional framework for the promotion of investments, including: (i) the design of the PPP strategy  (ii) the adoption of the law on SEZs  and (iii) the adoption of the law on industries, have been completed. As a follow-up to the first phase, PACE II continues the reforms jointly identified in 2017 by the African Development Bank Group and the Malagasy authorities. PACE II reforms aim to consolidate the achievements of previous programmes and support Government’s efforts to implement the reforms listed in the National Development Plan (NDP) 2015-2019. PACE II will place emphasis on improving Madagascar’s competitiveness, to attract more public and private investments in job-creating sectors like agro-industry. PACE Phase II has two components. The first component: “Strengthen the regulatory and institutional framework for the promotion of public and private investments” and the second component “Improve sector governance to support economic competitiveness” will place emphasis on enhancing energy and transport sector performance.  PACE will contribute to creating favourable conditions for strong inclusive economic growth by improving economic competitiveness in Madagascar. In this regard, PACE will help to remedy the
investment deficit in Madagascar and improve governance in the energy, transport and agro-industry sectors. The programme’s expected impact will be to raise the GDP growth rate from 4.2% (2016) to 5.5% (2020), and improve Pillar 2 (infrastructure) of the Global Competitiveness Index from 1.9 (2016) to 2.3 (2020).  PACE will benefit the entire population of Madagascar. An improved regulatory framework for the promotion of investments and better sector governance (energy, transport and agriculture) will
help to improve the business climate and attract more investments in higher value-added job-creating sectors for the Malagasy people. Improved governance of State-owned enterprises (JIRAMA and Air Madagascar) will also benefit the population through better performance of these companies. Furthermore, the private sector will take advantage of the enhanced economic competitiveness arising from the delivery of programme-supported reforms. The programme will benefit JIRAMA and Air Madagascar by improving their performance.

The project also takes into account the main factors of fragility in Madagascar, particularly those related to food insecurity, youth unemployment, land insecurity, the mismatch between skills and jobs, access to finance, vulnerability natural disasters (droughts, floods and cyclones) and climate change, inadequate rural infrastructure, persistence of traditional farming methods and lack of economic opportunities. The first phase of the project, subject of this support, will be implemented over 3 years.  The programme aims to reduce youth unemployment through the transformation and modernization of Malagasy agriculture, with as a result, the strengthening of food and nutritional security. More specifically, it will promote the creation of income-generating jobs and generate income for young people in Agriculture and Agro-Industry through, in particular: (i) the creation of favorable conditions for the emergence of and the growth of successful agriculture and agri-food businesses by youth and (ii) the financing of young agripreneurs' businesses along the agricultural value chain.  The direct beneficiaries of the program will be mainly graduates of higher education. It's expected to train, over the 3 years of its first phase, 410 young agripreneurs, 50% of whom are women, and it is estimated that at least 350 young people trained will set up as entrepreneurs. The project will generate at least 1791 direct jobs. Other beneficiaries include service providers along selected value chains.

Madagascar - Investment Promotion Support Project. The Investment Promotion Support Project (PAPI) is part of the Bank's actions to support the new Malagasy authorities to face the important challenges resulting from the serious political crisis, particularly with regard to the deficit in infrastructure. It is an institutional support to help create the conditions for sustainable and inclusive growth by boosting private investment in priority sectors and setting up a public-private partnership framework to mobilize the resources needed for infrastructure development and modernization. To stimulate private investment, economic growth and improve people's livelihoods, PAPI will directly support the textile sector because of its high potential for foreign investment, exports and jobs. PAPI is organized around two operational components, namely: (i) support for investment promotion  (ii) support to the public-private partnership framework.  The project aims to contribute to and stimulate strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and job creation through the establishment of conditions to increase private investment in infrastructure and priority sectors. The specific operational objectives of the project relate to (i) institutional capacity building for investment promotion  (ii) improved business intelligence for investment promotion  (iii) the operationalization of a central Public-Private Partnership (PPP) unit  and (iv) support for the implementation of PPPs.  The beneficiaries of PAPI are: (i) the Malagasy State as a whole, by strengthening the institutional capacities of the structures in charge of the promotion of private investments and the public-private partnership framework  (ii) firms (small and medium) in the textile sector that will benefit from a more investment-friendly institutional framework  (iii) enterprises in priority sectors (agribusiness, mining, new information and communication technologies) through better access to production infrastructure  (iv) women and young entrepreneurs to be supported by the Textile Promotion Fund  (v) all the Malagasy populations who will be the indirect final beneficiaries of the positive effects of increasing the level of private investment in terms of job creation and improvement of living conditions  (vi) government ministries and agencies, non-state actors, civil society and the private sector will also be indirect beneficiaries of PAPI.

The beneficiaries of the project are approximately 145,000 people in the Kayes and Koulikoro regions.

Tunisia - Financial Sector Modernisation Support Programme II - (PAMSFI II). The proposed operation is a EUR 120 million loan to the Republic of Tunisia to finance the Financial Sector Modernisation Support Programme II (PAMSFI II). It is in line with the Bank's strong commitment to support the Tunisian Government in the implementation of its general policy vision as set out in the 2016-2020 Strategic Development Plan (SDP). PAMSFI II will be implemented over the period 2018-19, and is a vehicle for support to the Bank’s other operations in Tunisia. Therefore, its impact will consolidate the achievements of PAMSFI I and other policy-based programmes aimed at improving regional development and job creation. Indeed, these programmes support regional structures, the business framework in the regions as well as youth employability, whereas PAMSFI will provide complementarity on the supply side of financing by targeting project proposers and VSME. PAMSFI II comprises two complementary components. The first component aims at reducing social, territorial, regional and gender disparities through better financial inclusion. The second component aims at building the financial sector’s resilience and developing capital markets to ensure efficient financing of the economy.  The goal of PAMSFI II is to create the necessary conditions for accelerated, resilient and inclusive economic growth by strengthening the financial sector’s role in financing the economy and vulnerable segments of the population. In particular, it aims to support the emergence of a new development model for Tunisia, in which the private sector can develop and generate employment throughout the country, and where disadvantaged segments of the population can contribute to, and benefit from, growth. The Programme’s specific objectives are to strengthen and deepen financial sector governance by improving access by the population and businesses to diversified financial services.  The programme's end-beneficiary is the Tunisian population. It will benefit from improved living conditions due to inclusive and sustainable economic growth made possible by the creation of economic opportunities and jobs. The private sector will also benefit from PAMSFI. Its access to financing will be facilitated by the improved supply of financial services, including in the country's hinterland. Access to savings services will enable people with low and often irregular incomes to maintain a more stable level of consumption over time. In addition, access to financing for very small, small and medium-sized enterprises (VSMEs) should help to create more jobs.

Tunisia - Project to Develop and Promote Agricultural Sub-sectors in Zaghouan Governorate (PDPFA-GZ). The Project to Develop and Promote Agricultural Sub-sectors in Zaghouan Governorate (PDPFA-GZ) is consistent with Tunisia’s Strategic Development Plan (PSD) 2016-2020. The Project will be implemented in the Zaghouan Governorate, which covers a surface area of 282 000 hectares and has a population of 186 210 (INS, 2018). This region has an average poverty rate of 20% (15.2% nationwide), an illiteracy rate of 26.4% (18.8% nationwide) and a rural poverty rate of 34.2%. The unemployment rate is 16.9% compared with 14.8% nationwide. Women are more vulnerable as they lack access to resources and formal employment. PDPFA-GZ was prepared under a UA 412 000 Middle-Income Countries Technical Assistance Fund (MIC-TAF) grant awarded by the Bank in 2014. The grant resources were used to design the related technical studies and evaluate the Integrated Agricultural Development Project (PDAI) in Tunisia. It complements the first phase of the Integrated Agricultural Development Programme in Zaghouan Governorate financed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to the tune of USD 16.05 million. PDPFA-GZ, whose total estimated cost is EUR 43.86 million, aims to develop priority agricultural subsectors (olive oil, tomato, dairy and other local organic products) selected in conjunction with regional authorities based on their economic, social and environmental impact. Besides improving their competitiveness, the subsectors selected will have an overall impact on economic recovery and the reduction of unemployment, poverty and inequalities. The project comprising three components will be implemented over five years. The components are: (i) Rural Infrastructure Support  (ii) Sustainable Agricultural Development and Promotion of Agricultural Value Chains  and (iii) Project Coordination and Management.  The overall objective of PDPFA-GZ is to contribute to reducing poverty, unemployment and inequalities (gender, socio-economic and rural/urban) in Zaghouan Governorate. The project’s specific objective is to create more value added by promoting priority agricultural sub-sectors such as “olive oil”, “tomato”, “dairy” and “other local organic products”, which are niches with a high potential in terms of employment, revenue generation and foreign exchange earnings for the country.  PDPFA-GZ will benefit more than 90 650 people (12 500 directly), 50.2% of them women. The people will be supported to improve production and productivity through successful land consolidation and conversion to organic farming. Special attention will be paid to women (particularly women heads of households) and youths who constitute the bulk of vulnerable groups. They will benefit from about 40% to 45% of newly developed PIPs and 75% of actions related to product processing and marketing, particularly organic products.

Madagascar - Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Development Project in the South-West Region of Madagascar (PTASO). The Agro-industrial Processing Zone Development Project in the South-West Region of Madagascar (PTASO) is the first project of an initiative that could be replicated at national level to ensure greater processing of agricultural products. The project is consistent with the Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Sector Programme and the National Agricultural Investment Programme (PSAEP/PNIAEP 2016-2020), which is also aligned with the General Government Policy (PGE) and the Madagascar Emergence Plan (PEM). This operation stems from the Government’s urgent need to reverse the trend in agricultural sector underperformance in the production and processing of agricultural products, especially in the South-West region, whose development potential contrasts with the recurrent food insecurity in this part of the country. The project focuses on the processing of agricultural products, and thereby contributes to wealth creation through jobs generated in agroindustry, preserves economic and financial stability by reducing imports of agro-food products, and responds to post-COVID-19 impacts. The PTASO will promote agricultural value chains (AVCs) such as rice, cape peas, maize, fishery products and small ruminants, through infrastructure development and the implementation of measures likely to attract the private sector to play its role in key areas of industrial processing and marketing. The main activities financed by the project are: (i) improvement of the regulatory framework to develop SAPZs and strengthen institutions  (ii) construction of basic infrastructure in Tuléar agro-industrial platform and agribusiness centres (Ankilililoake and Tandadave)  (iii) improvement of agricultural production infrastructure (irrigated areas, aquaculture farms, etc.) and marketing (storage warehouses, rural roads, etc.)  and (iv) capacity building for stakeholders in the agro-industrial sectors (Government services, farmer organisations, etc.). These activities will create wealth and employment, improve food security and reduce chronic malnutrition in this part of the country which, despite its potential, remains a pocket of famine. This operation, estimated at UA 24.27 million, will be implemented over five (5) years starting from 2021  it will be funded by TSF Pilar I (UA 20 million), and the Government of Madagascar (UA 4.27 million).  The project overall goal is to reduce imports of agri-food products and improve Madagascar's food and nutritional security. Specifically, it seeks to promote inclusive agricultural transformation by developing basic infrastructure and establishing an incentive framework for private investment in priority value chains in the South-West Region of Madagascar. The Bank's intervention, through the PTASO, seeks to accelerate the processing of agricultural products in the South-West which, if successful, could be extended throughout the country. The project will help to effectively boost economic development because it has adopted relevant Bank strategies in efforts to consolidate the role of the private sector and communities in rural development, thereby ensuring inclusiveness in Africa and in Madagascar, in particular.  The project will cover some 83,000 ha in the project area and have an impact on some 152,000 direct beneficiaries and 460,000 indirect beneficiaries, of whom some 54.70% are women. The region has several small and medium-sized agro-food enterprises, in particular COPEFRUITO, SIMABIO, poultry and fishery SMEs, and the Agricultural Professionals Association of Madagascar (CPA-M).

Madagascar - Economic Competitiveness Support Programme - Phase I (PACE-I). The Economic Competitiveness Support Program (PACE) in Madagascar is part of the support initiatives for reforms to address post-crisis challenges, including the investment gap, which is one of the largest. The first phase of this program (PACE I), which is the subject of this support, aims at consolidating the gains of the previous programs (PARSE and PARGE) through the improvement of Madagascar's economic competitiveness and the promotion of investments. The program pays particular attention to the various factors that contribute to strengthening resilience and the fight against fragility, such as increasing investments to support the process of sustainable economic and social transformation, and improving infrastructure to open up the most remote economic areas of the country, and support for innovative approaches in agriculture focused on the development of agricultural growth poles and agribusiness platforms. The PACE I reform measures revolve around two components that are complementary and mutually reinforcing. Component 1 "Strengthening the Regulatory and Institutional Framework to Promote Public and Private Investment" will contribute to (i) creating a regulatory and institutional framework conducive to the promotion of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to finance structural infrastructure projects, and (ii) modernize the legal and institutional frameworks conducive to increased investment in agribusiness. The second component "Improving sectoral governance in support of economic competitiveness" will focus on improving the performance of the energy and transport sectors.  The objective of PACE-I is to contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for strong and inclusive economic growth, through the improvement of economic competitiveness in Madagascar. In this regard, the program will contribute to addressing the investment gap which is a major challenge in Madagascar and improving the governance of the energy, transport and agribusiness sectors.  PACE should benefit the Malagasy population as a whole. A better regulatory framework for investment promotion and better sectoral governance (energy, transport and agriculture) will improve the business climate and attract more investment in job-creating sectors for the Malagasy population. The population will also benefit from improving the governance of state-owned companies (JIRAMA and Air Madagascar), thanks to a better performance of the latter. The private sector will also benefit from the increased competitiveness of the economy that will result from the implementation of the reforms supported by the program. JIRAMA and AIR Madagascar will also be beneficiaries of the program, with regard to the improvement of their performances.

Comoros - Energy Sector Reform Support Programme (PARSE). The Energy Sector Reform Support Programme (PARSE) is intended to consolidate the achievements of the Energy Sector Reform and Financial Governance Support Programme (PARSEGF) completed in December 2013. More specifically, PARSE seeks to deepen and continue the process of gradually improving energy sector governance and performance initiated under PARSEGF. Furthermore, PARSE should supplement the Energy Sector Support Programme (PASE) that was launched in 2014. This investment project aims to increase electricity generation capacity. In the Comoros, the weaknesses of the energy sector in general, and the electricity sub-sector in particular (access rate below 50% of the population and frequent load shedding, including in Moroni, the country’s capital), are among the major obstacles to economic diversification necessary for the country to emerge over time from its fragility situation, characterized by low institutional capacity. In 2015, PARSE’s reform measures are expected to contribute to: (i) a drop in the percentage of MA-MWE’s business-related electricity losses that should stand at 22% compared with 27% in 2013  and (ii) a drop in the ratio of public subsidies to the energy sector/State operating budget, which should stand at 6.5%, against 10% in 2013. The total cost of PARSE is estimated at UA 4 million. The Programme comprises a single component which is the contribution to energy sector management.  The programme’s development goal is to contribute to creating conditions for inclusive economic growth conducive to the country’s gradual emergence from fragility, through improved energy sector management. Its specific objectives are to improve: (i) the organisational mechanism  (ii) the control framework  and (iii) the business performance of the energy sector and, in particular, the electricity sub-sector which is undermined by large-scale fraudulent practices.  The programme beneficiaries are the Comorian population in general, who will enjoy better living conditions and access to better social services thanks to improvements in the electricity sub-sector. Furthermore, Comorian private businesses (including those managed by women) will also benefit from PARSE. Their factor costs will drop, thanks to greater access to electricity. This will also boost their competitiveness and help them to develop their activities. Other programme beneficiaries are the two national electricity companies (especially MA-MWE), which will experience an improvement in their management frameworks, commercial and financial performance. Another PARSE beneficiary is the Government of the Comoros (GoC).

Comoros - Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy Support Project (SCADD). The Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy Support Project (SCADD) is an institutional support project that has been implemented in a context of fragile Comoros characterized by weak institutional capacity. This project provides to finance two technical assistance missions  namely: (i) an assessment of fragility and the preparation of an action plan for implementation of the New Deal (the project’s main support activity), and (ii) support to Government with a view to improving Public Finance Management (PFM) transparency, efficiency and effectiveness. These are relevant and necessary activities in the preparation and implementation of SCADD, and thus to support the Comoros in its gradual exit from the fragility situation. By supporting better consideration of factors of fragility in SCADD and strengthening of PFM, the SCADD support project also sought indirectly to create a favourable framework for achieving the objectives of the 2010-2015 Country Strategy Paper (CSP).  The project’s objective is to contribute to the preparation of the Comoros’s Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD).  The beneficiary of this project is the Comorian population.

Madagascar - Integrated agro-industrial growth pole project in the south. This support is an ADF-financed cash advance to the Government of the Republic of Madagascar to facilitate the preparation of the country's Integrated Agricultural Growth Cluster Project (PICAS).

The project will benefit in the first place the Government of Madagascar, farmers, rural entrepreneurs and the Malagasy population.

Comoros - The Economic Reform Support and Financial Governance Programme (PAREGF). The Economic Reform Support and Financial Governance Programme (PAREGF) falls within the framework of the first pillar of Bank Group’s assistance strategy as defined in CSP-1, 2009-2010. It consists of a budget support programme in the form of a UA 2 million grant disbursed in two equal tranches of 1 million. This project seeks to strengthen capacities in public finance management and in the preparation and monitoring of development policies. Thanks to the reform measures that it comprises, PAREGF should help strengthen the operational capacity of the Finance Departments of the Ministry of Finance, Budget and Planning, and of organs responsible for monitoring the implementation of economic and financial reforms. PAREGF should also be implemented in synergy with the Institutional Capacity Building Project that the Bank should finance in the Comoros. The expected outcomes from implementing this programme include: greater credibility for the government budget, increased transparency of government transactions and public resource management, and, with respect to streamlining of the reform process, preparation of a strategy and action plan, and execution of both after the completion of PAREGF.  The objective of the Economic Reform Support and Financial Governance Programme (PAREGF) is to help reduce poverty through more effective and efficient public resource management. It aims specifically to: (i) improve public finance management  and (ii) streamline the public finance reform process.  Generally, the Comorian people are the main programme beneficiaries, particularly the poorest to whom the government should be able to allocate more resources under poverty reduction programmes thanks to better public resource management. Other beneficiaries include (i) the islands of the Union of the Comoros, which will see improvements in their budget resource management in the wake of different reform measures implemented by financial authorities to improve tax and customs duties collection  (ii) civil servants who, as a result of public finance management consolidation may expect partial payment of their salary arrears  (iii) government financial agencies that will benefit from operational capacity building through the use of computer management tools (ASYCUDA++)  and (iv) economic operators whose transactions with the government will be more transparent.

The expected effects of the project are to increase phosphate production from 7.2 to 8 million tons and to achieve an export turnover of UA 395 million from 2001.  The sectoral objective of the project is to support the contribution of manufacturing industries to economic growth and the specific objective is to enable the CPG to consolidate and optimize its production tool and reduce its operating costs.  The beneficiaries targeted by the project are the entire population and particularly the populations of the mining areas, the phosphate export port and the processing companies, subsidiaries of the Tunisian Chemical Group.

RENFORCTEMENT DES CAPACITES ENVIRONEMENT. The Gafsa Phosphates Company (GPC) capacity building project for environmental protection and phosphate mining is part of Tunisia's tenth development plan covering the period 2002- 2006 which assigns to the phosphate mining industry an annual export growth target of 6%, better integration and increased efficiency while ensuring environmental protection in the mining basin. The project was conceived in 2005 in a favorable international context of the phosphates and derivatives market, characterized by sustained demand and rising prices. The main activities concern the preparation of DAOs and the launching of tenders for the construction of spraying and storage basins in each of the three mines that collect waste (Redeyef, Kef Eddour and Séhib), the purchase of quarry equipment, subassemblies and spare parts, the launch of a consultation for the recruitment of an environmental protection technical assistance and a consulting firm for the realization of a strategic organizational study of the CPG. The project cost was stopped at UA 38.25 million. Its execution is planned over 3 years.  The sector objective of the project is to contribute to the achievement of the industrial sector's export growth objectives during the 2006-2008 period while improving the capacity of Gafsa Phosphate Company (GPC) to control environmental management and for the specific purpose of ensuring the protection of the environment in the Gafsa basin, securing its production and maintaining the competitiveness of Tunisian phosphate on an international scale. The expected effects of the project are the maintenance of the phosphate production level at 8 million tons, the improvement of the mitigation measures of the negative effects on the environment, the control of the environmental management and the study of the legal and organizational framework of the CPG in the perspective of a move towards more competitive management.  The beneficiaries are the operators in the phosphate sector, the population of the mining regions which has about 90,000 inhabitants and the national private companies.

Mali - Decentralization and Regional Economic Development Support Project (PADDER). The Decentralization and Regional Economic Development Support Project (PADDER) addresses the need for improving the economic performance of regions through improved programming of public expenditures and strengthened decentralized organs responsible for them. The reforms introduced into national public finances in recent years (PDI, PARAD, PAGAMGFP) were not adequately supported at the regional level, particularly in the decentralized CT-Rs, by control instruments and resources. The implementation of the decentralization process which effectively started in 1997, prioritized the operationalization of local governments. The persisting regional dimension of poverty brought out the need felt both by the Government and its technical and financial partners including the Bank, for the intensification of the decentralization process with a special focus on regional economic development. The financing of the Decentralization and Regional Economic Development Support Project (PADDER) will contribute to improving interventions in Mali relating to poverty reduction, particularly the mitigation of the regional dimension of poverty. The project consists of the following three components, namely: I) Strengthening of the institutional, organizational and local governance framework pertaining to economic decentralization, II) Support to the regional economic development process and III) Project management.  The overall objective of the project is to support Mali in the regionalization of its economic growth strategy to reduce poverty. The specific objectives of the project are to assist the Government of Mali (GoM) to: i) promote an institutional, organizational and good local governance conducive to regional economic development based on an enhanced public/private/regional civil society partnership  and ii) revitalize regional economic activities by strengthening economic inter-communality and institutional, technical and financial capacities of all the actors operating at regional level.  The national structures involved in decentralization will receive support from the project, notably the National Local Governments Directorate (DNCT), the National Investment Agency for Territorial Communities (ANICT), the National Land Use Plan Directorate (DNAT), the National Land Use Planning Directorate (DNPD), directorates in charge of local finance at the Ministry of Finance (Treasury, the Tax Department, the Budget and the General Directorate of Procurement). The beneficiary stakeholders will be the Regionals Local Government (CT-Rs) and their administrative and financial management structures, elected representatives, Local Governments (CT) associations, deconcentrated departments, the Civil Society Organization (CSO) and the private sector and professional organizations in the five regions concerned by the project.

Tunisia - Classified State Road Network Development Project - Phase I. The Classified State Road Network Development Project is part of the continuation of the programme to upgrade transport infrastructures initiated by the government under the VIII Economic and Social Development Plan (1992-1996). It is aimed at adapting the classified road network to the increasing traffic demand and thus ensure the competitiveness of Tunisian products. The project will also, enable the reduction of the imbalance between the coastal regions and the disadvantaged regions in the south. It is composed of the widening and strengthening of 433 km of roads, the strengthening of 341 km of roads and the construction of 23 engineering structures and 158.7 km of regional roads, as well as the construction of 29 km of paved road. The estimated project cost exempt of custom duties and taxes is UA 98.66 million. It will be implemented over thirty four (34) months.  The main objective of the project is to reduce the capacity and size constraints of the classified network. It will thus provide better access to the inland development pools of the country by improving communications between the principal centres of activity and the secondary centres network. The specific objectives are: (i) the protection of the road network, (ii) the reduction of transport costs and (iii) the improvement of road safety for users.  The project benefits economic operators and individual road users, road construction companies, and will have a positive impact on the populations of the regions affected by the project, promoting greater and lower-cost mobility and therefore opportunities to integrate a higher level of economic and social well-being.

Mali - Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Programme (GPRSSP) and assist in
Mitigating the Impact of the Global Crisis. Le PASCRP se situait dans un contexte de soutien au Mali pour la mise en œuvre du programme de développement du Gouvernement : le Cadre Stratégique pour la Croissance et la Réduction de la Pauvreté (CSCRP) pour la période 2007- 2011. La Banque a utilisé une opération à décaissement rapide pour appuyer la mise en œuvre de ce programme, dont le financement nécessitait un soutien important des PTF. En effet, le cadrage macroéconomique projetait, en moyenne annuelle, un besoin de financement d’environ 129,3 milliards de francs CFA. Dans le cadre du PASCRP, la Banque a apporté son appui financier sous forme d’un prêt FAD d’un montant total de 33 millions d’UC. Le programme se situait également dans un contexte de soutien au pays pour faire face aux impacts de la crise alimentaire mondiale et de l’envolée des prix du pétrole. Bien que le PASCRP soit la première opération d’appui budgétaire en faveur du Mali, la Banque présentait l’avantage d’avoir eu au cours des dix dernières années une longue expérience dans les opérations à décaissement rapide avec le Mali à travers quatre (4) Programmes d’Ajustement Structurel entre 1997 et 2007.  Le Programme accompagne le Gouvernement dans sa Stratégie pour la Croissance et la Réduction de la Pauvreté 2007-2011. A cet effet, il vise trois objectifs : i) renforcer la stabilité du cadre macroéconomique, particulièrement son lien avec la stratégie de réduction de la pauvreté, ii) améliorer la gestion des ressources publiques, notamment la dimension du contrôle budgétaire, et iii) accompagner le processus de décentralisation au Mali en favorisant le transfert effectif des compétences et des ressources aux collectivités territoriales.

Mali - Second Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Programme (GPRSSP II). Le deuxième programme d’appui à la stratégie pour la croissance et la réduction de la pauvreté (PASCRP II), d'un coût total de 33 millions d’UC,  vise  à  soutenir  les  efforts  du  Gouvernement  du  Mali  (GdM)  en  vue  de consolider  la  croissance  économique  et  accélérer  la  réduction  de  la  pauvreté. C'est un programme en  ligne avec le premier pilier de la stratégie de la Banque pour Mali portant sur l’amélioration de l’environnement  du  secteur  privé,  et qui est principalement  axé  sur  le renforcement  de  la  gouvernance  économique  et  financière. Le Programme  s’articule autour de  trois composantes, à savoir :  (i)  la mobilisation  optimale  des ressources domestiques    (ii)  le renforcement  de  la  transparence  dans  la  gestion  des  finances  publiques  et    (iii) l’amélioration  des  ressources  et  de  la  gestion  des  collectivités  territoriales  (CT).  L'objectif du programme est de contribuer à consolider la croissance et à accélérer la  réduction  de  la  pauvreté. Les  objectifs  opérationnels  du  Programme  sont :  (i) l’amélioration  du  recouvrement  des  recettes  fiscales   (ii)  le renforcement de la transparence  dans la passation  des marchés publics  (iii) la fiabilité de la reddition des comptes publics et (iv) l’accélération de la décentralisation.  Le programme bénéficie directement au  GdM  en contribuant à la couverture des besoins de financement  du  budget  général.  Il  bénéficie  également  aux  collectivités  territoriales  par l’appui  qu’il  apporte  au  processus  de  décentralisation/déconcentration.

AMENAGEMENT RESEAU ROUTIER CLASSE-III. The project is in line with the Government’s 1995-2005 strategy to upgrade the transport sector, which aims to put in place an effective, quality and inexpensive transportation system through the elimination of the major bottlenecks in terms of infrastructure. It is an integral part of the investment programme for the road sub-sector over the Xth Plan period (2002-2006). The project will consist of the following components: (i) roads works on the rehabilitation of 475 km of roads, reinforcement of 640 km of roads and the construction of 21 structures, and (ii) supervision of the works required. The. Its implementation will cover a period of 42 months with an estimated cost, excluding taxes, amounts to UA 144.46 million.  The sectoral goal of the project is to contribute to upgrading road infrastructure with a view to putting in place an effective and quality transport system to sustain economic growth and contribute to the objectives of competitiveness of the country’s external trade.  Specifically, the project aims to improve the capacity of the classified road network in order to reduce width constraints and the structural condition of paved classified roads and eliminate any bottlenecks in order to reduce transportation costs and promote exchange between the various regions concerned.  The project will benefit a significant portion of the country’s population, particularly the population in the areas situated in the hinterland (North-West, West-Central and South-West) where inadequate basic infrastructure, particularly roads, is the cause of a slow socioeconomic development recorded in the coastal areas.

Mali - Economic Governance Support Project (PAGE). The Economic Governance Support Project (PAGE) is part of a concerted effort by the international community to restore the legitimacy of the State, meet the challenge of restoring the normal functioning of the administration and promote economic recovery, in particular by improving the business environment. The aim of PAGE is to help the Government to respond to the urgent arising needs from the successive crises (security, political and institutional) that have affected the country, and to mitigate their impact on the populations. Through this support, the proposed intervention will contribute to restore the normal functioning of the public administration throughout the country. It will, in particular, restore public financial management capacity and consolidate the achievements of previous capacity-building projects. In addition, PAGE will help improve the services provided to private economic operators to facilitate international trade, enhance access to credit and streamline business procedures. This will therefore help to foster enabling conditions for a rapid recovery of the economy driven by the private sector. The PAGE will be implemented over 48 months, and will also contribute to the implementation of measures agreed between the Malian authorities and the African Development Bank under the Emergency Program to Support Economic Recovery (PUARE).  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to restoring public financial management capacity and creating the necessary conditions for the gradual recovery of the economy, through the strengthening of institutional capacities in order to improve the business environment. The specific objectives of the project are: restoring the normal functioning of the administration in charge of public financial management across the country, improving budget planning and preparation, reinforcing budget execution and control, and enhancing resource mobilization.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: (i) the State of Mali as a whole which will see its institutional capacities restored, its structures strengthened and its resources increased  (ii) the departments in charge of economic and financial administration which will be in a position to rationally manage public expenditures, mobilize additional domestic revenues to direct them to social sectors  and (iii) the private sector which will benefit from a business environment more conducive to the development of productive and commercial activities. Overall, by improving the quality of public services, the project will benefit all Malians. They will be the primary beneficiaries of jobs created, notably by improving the efficiency of socio-economic services.

Mali - Emergency Economic Recovery Support Programme (EERSP). The Emergency Economic Recovery Support Programme (EERSP) aims to help the Government to address urgent social and economic needs. In a concerted effort by the international community to restore the government’s legitimacy, foster economic recovery and assist Mali to address the deterioration of the humanitarian situation, the Programme seeks to support the Authorities’ efforts to meet the reconstruction needs caused by the successive crises which have affected the country. In order to restore functioning of the public administration, the Government intends to: (i) make a provision of at least CFAF 7 billion in the 2013 SFL for the rehabilitation of premises of public administration services, based on a preliminary estimation of financial requirements by the Malian Authorities  and (ii) redeploy public sector employees to the country’s liberated northern regions in order to provide essential public services. Following the Programme’s implementation, it is expected that the public administration will function normally and restore government’s legitimacy over the entire national territory, resume budget execution at the deconcentrated level, facilitate the implementation of projects to reconstruct infrastructure destroyed in the North, and reduce the fiduciary risk. The EERSP comprises two main components: (i) restoration of normal functioning of the public administration and rebuilding of the government’s capacities to provide basic social services  and (ii) support for creating conditions required for rapid economic recovery.  The EERSP’s overall goal is to help to re-establish the functioning of the public administration, rebuild government’s capacity to provide basic social services and create the necessary conditions for the economy’s recovery. The specific objectives of the EERSP are to: (i) restore normal functioning of the public administration  (ii) rebuild the government’s capacities to provide basic social services, especially in the areas of health and education  (iii) create the necessary fiscal space to allow for implementation of priority public investment projects for the reconstruction of infrastructure destroyed in the conflict areas  and (iv) ensure the rapid payment of the government’s financial commitments to its private suppliers.  The Programme beneficiaries will be the Malian population as a whole, i.e. about 15.4 million inhabitants and, in particular, those living in the northern part of the country, especially those displaced as a result of the conflict. More specifically, they are people living under difficult circumstances due to the absence of basic public services in the affected areas and the congestion of public services in the areas which accepted the displaced persons. The main beneficiary structures comprise the school network, public health services and, more generally, the public administration, which must return to a normal functioning level. The Government will therefore be able to consolidate its legitimacy and restore its sovereignty over the entire national territory.

De manière spécifique, le projet vise à améliorer le niveau de service du réseau routier classé service  par la réduction de contraintes liées au gabarit des routes revêtues et l'état structurel de leurs chaussées, et ce, pour assurer une baisse des coûts de transport et favoriser le développement des échanges entre les différentes régions du pays  Les indicateurs objectivement vérifiables (IOV) pour mesurer les performances du projet par rapport aux objectifs seront fixés pendant l'évaluation du projet et répertoriés dans la  matrice du projet.

Mali - Emergency Governance and Economic Recovery Support Programme. The Emergency Governance and Economic Recovery Support Programme (EGERSP) is part of a concerted effort by the international community to restore state authority, foster economic recovery and assist Mali to face the deterioration of the humanitarian situation caused by successive crises that the country has been going through since 2012. It's an emergency budget support (Budget Support in Response to Crises) whose goal is to allow Mali to move out of its transition situation and move towards progressive resilience through the improvement of governance of Public Management (Component 1) and Consolidation of Economic Recovery (Component 2). The EGERSP will be run over a period of twelve months. The implementation of the activities of the PAUGRE will be favored by the existence of the Economic Governance Support Project (PAGE), an institutional support amounting to UA 9.97 million, signed in November 2013, of which the aim is to help restore and strengthen the capacity of the public administration to provide essential services to people and economic operators. Through this operation, the Bank will be able to maintain dialogue with the country with a view to resuming reforms at the end of the transition period.  The EGERSP aims at the following specific objectives: (i) improving the quality of public expenditure  (ii) strengthening transparency mechanisms in public management  (iii) support for priority public investments  and (iv) support for the revival of private sector activities.  The direct beneficiaries comprise: (i) the public administration’s structures responsible for the promotion of public financial management transparency and efficacy (Accounts Chamber of the Supreme Court, technical committee for the selection of public investment programmes and projects)  (ii) private sector development support structures (Joint Business Framework Reform Monitoring Committee)  and (iii) the private sector through the actions to improve the business climate and clear central Government debt arrears owed to its suppliers. The Programme will indirectly benefit the Malian population as whole, i.e. about 15.4 million inhabitants and, in particular, the most disadvantaged segments of the population (including women) who have been deprived of basic public services as a result of the conflict. More specifically, they are people living under difficult circumstances due to the absence of basic public services in the affected areas and the congestion of public services in the areas which accepted the displaced persons.

Mali - Economic Governance Reform Support Programme – Phase I. PARGE-I, the first phase of two programme-based budget support operations aims to consolidate the achievements of previous budget support operations and contribute to sustained economic growth by enhancing the efficiency of public expenditure and promoting private sector development. Indeed, after two budget support operations in response to the crises, the conditions for general budget support are met, because of the existence of a credible economic reform program that is supported by all development partners. This operation presents the multiannual framework of the program and provides a list of reform measures considered as triggers for the second phase (PARGE-II). PARGE-I is in line with the 2012-2017 Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Framework (GPRSP) and the 2014-2018 Government Action Program (GAP). It agrees with two (Governance Strengthening and Private Sector Development) of the five key operational priorities of the Bank's Ten Year Strategy (SLT) 2013-2022. The first component, which focuses on the effectiveness of public spending, will, through major structural reforms: (i) improve fiscal decentralization  (ii) improve the management of the public order  and (iii) strengthen the role and effectiveness of internal control. In the second component, support for private sector development will focus on: (i) support for investment promotion and private enterprise development  and (ii) improving the business environment.  The PARGE-I intends to consolidate the achievements of previous operations by helping Mali to address the above-mentioned challenges through major structural reforms aimed at improving public expenditure efficiency and increasing private development support. PARGE-I therefore aims to support the Government of Mali's (GoM) efforts through the following objectives: (i) improvement of fiscal decentralization, (ii) enhancement of public procurement management transparency  (iii) strengthening of internal control to ensure more efficient use of public resources  (iv) improvement of the business environment  and (v) support for the development of private enterprises and promotion of strategic investments.  PARGE-I will benefit the entire Malian population by improving public expenditure efficiency and creating a more dynamic private sector. Improved public resource management will increase the supply of basic social services and facilitate countrywide access to them.

Tunisia - The Road Project V. The Road Project V is consistent with the pursuance of the strategy to upgrade the Transport Sector, formulated by the Government since the previous five-year Development Plans aimed at promoting an efficient high quality transport system. The project is part of the investments planned for road infrastructure under the 11th Plan (2007-2011) and its implementation is in line with the Bank's intervention strategy in Tunisia for the period concerned. It was designed to address the capacity constraints (width of carriageways and their structural condition) of the classified road network which does not at present provide an acceptable level of service in respect of traffic volumes and the rapid growth of heavy traffic, which is responsible for the deterioration of the carriageway structures and a heightened risk of accidents. The project involves carrying out work with the following components: (i) structural road works (diversion of the cities of Beja, Jendouba, Sidi Bouzid, M'Saken-Est in Sousse and El Hamma in Gabès and modernisation by upgrading the GP6D sections in Beja, the GP2 between Enfida and Kairouan and GP3 -Fahs in Zaghouan)  (ii) rehabilitation of a total of 374.1 km of paved roads  (iii) reinforcement of a total of 640.4 km of paved roads  (iv) construction of 14 engineering structures distributed over the classified road network. The implementation of the project will contribute to safeguarding the existing road network, while improving the state of the infrastructure, thereby fostering intra- and inter-regional trade and reducing regional disparities. This will result in greater complementarity of road transport with the other modes of transport, and contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of the country by lowering transport costs. The estimated cost of the project is UA 264.15 million, equivalent to US$ 399 million (Tunisian dinars 474.82 million).  The project aims to improve the level of service of the classified road network with a view to intensifying intra-and inter-regional trade and improving the accessibility of the country’s principal development poles.  The present project will benefit the whole country’s population, particularly the inhabitants of the north-west (Beja, Jendouba, Kef and Siliana), centre (Sousse, Mahdia, Monastir et Kairouan et Sidi Bouzid) and the south-west (Gabes et Medenine) where inadequate basic infrastructure, particularly roads, in the Governorates of Sidi Bouzid, Siliana et Kasserine and certain regions of the south has been the cause of a slower rate of socioeconomic development in relation to coastal areas.

Mali - Socio-Economic Reintegration Support Project for the Population of Northern Mali. The project to support the socio-economic reintegration of the populations of Northern Mali (PARSEP-NM) is a contribution of the Bank to promote a gradual return to stability. This operation, which will last four (4) years, will consolidate the results obtained from emergency operations initiated since 2012. Indeed, since 2012, Mali has experienced a succession of crises (security, political and institutional) that have destabilized the country in all areas, led to a profound dysfunction of public administration and accentuated regional disparities. In the context of post-crisis reconstruction, the Government has made the development of the northen regions affected by the crisis, an important dimension of its strategy to bring peace and stability to Mali. This support is part of the implementation of the Algiers Peace Agreement (signed in 2015) and is justified by the need to tackle triggers of fragility through the reduction of inequalities. The proposed intervention through this support aims to: (i) respond quickly to the urgent needs of vulnerable returnees or stayees  ii) restore livelihoods and resilience capacities of crisis affected populations and  (iii) avoid destabilizing factors during the interim period.  The main objective of the project is to support the Malian Government to restore the functioning of services, promote the refugee populations' return, and consolidate the foundations for the development of Mali's northern region. In more specifics, the project aims to support: (i) the socio-economic reintegration of northern and center region's populations through the restoration of basic social services  (ii) capacity building and revitalization of socio-economic activities.  The main beneficiaries of the project, estimated at 635,000 persons, are located in the 27 targeted communes. These are populations in conditions of advanced vulnerability in the northern regions (Kidal, Gao, Timbuktu, Ménaka and Taoudéni) as well as in two regions of the Center (Mopti and Segou), particularly women, youths, internally displaced persons, returning refugees and vulnerable local populations.

Mali - Trans-Sahara Highway Project (TSH-Phase 2 –Bourem-Kidal Section). The proposed project concerns the Bourem-Kidal Section on the Malian section of the Trans-Sahara Highway (TSH) – an infrastructure at the centre of economic, social, political and security stakes for the continent. The highway is located in the Algiers/Lagos and Dakar/Djibouti Trans-African corridors, identified by the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), as priority projects to achieve NEPAD objectives by 2020. The 9,022-km TSH serves six countries (Algeria, Niger, Mali, Nigeria, Tunisia and Chad) and comprises one main trunk, Alger/Lagos (4,498 km) and three secondary sections: the Tunisian section (866 km)  the Malian section (2,461 km) and the Chadian section (1,197 km). Since  significant  financial  resources need  to  be  mobilised  to  develop these  corridors, the  States concerned  opted  for a gradual and  phased  development strategy. The Malian section of TSH, which is 2,461 km long, includes sections towards Niger (203 km) and others towards Algeria (741 km). This Phase 2 of the TSH Project concerns the Bourem-Kidal section (285.83km). Implementing it will help to resolve the major issues of peace, security, economic and social development, and fragility. The project is perceived by the Malian authorities as a factor of national unity, peace and social cohesion. Not only will it open up the Kidal region and strengthen the process of pacification of the Northern zones of Mali, it will also increase trade between Kidal and the other regions of the country as well as between Mali and Algeria. The project also comes as a political response to the imbalanced regional development so much decried by armed movements in Northern Mali. This intervention is crucial for the Liptako-Gourma sub-region and particularly for Mali since it will help to strengthen national unity and reduce development inequalities. Furthermore, it will help to strengthen the implementation of the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement following the Algiers process and signed on 15 May and 20 June 2015 in Bamako between the Government and the armed rebellion. Project  implementation  will  span 6 years for  a total  cost,  net  of  taxes  and  customs  duty, including  physical  contingencies  and  price  escalation, of UA 110.52 million.  At  the  strategic  level,  the  project contributes to  the objective  of  economic  growth  and accessibility of the northern zones of the country. Specifically, the project will help to: (i) improve the service level of the Bourem-Kidal road  and (ii) improve the living conditions of the population in the Project Direct Impact Area (PDIA).  The economic and social benefits concern directly or indirectly all the users of the Trans-Sahara Highway, but mainly the inhabitants of the project direct impact area (PDIA) at the Bourem and Kidal administrative divisions (“cercles”). Apart from infrastructure that will be constructed, the project will usher  in peace,  economic  and  social  development in Northern Mali with  Bank  support,  youth employability through  the development and  strengthening of  existing local very  small  and  medium- sized enterprises(VSME) and women’s income-generating activities. It will also check unemployment and/or under-employment by prioritizing the labour-intensive (LI) approach, training SMEs and fostering the learning of diverse trades. The project’s direct beneficiaries are transport users and the population living in the PDIA.

Tunisia - Road Project VI. Road Project VI is part of the ongoing transport sector upgrading strategy initiated by the Tunisian Government under previous five-year development plans. This project is the second instalment of the Road Insfracture Investment Program financed by the Bank under the Eleventh Economic and Social Development Plan (2007-2011). This project was designed to address the capacity constraints (pavement width and structural condition) of the classified road network which currently does not provide acceptable levels of service for traffic volumes nor respond to the rapid growth of heavy-vehicle traffic (responsible for the degradation of roadway structures and increased risks of accidents. The estimated cost is EUR 336.74 million, net of taxes, including a  EUR 236 million AfDB loan. Planned for a nation-wide implementation, the project includes: (i) rehabilitating 862.8 km of classified roads  (ii) strengthening 691.3 km of classified roads  (iii) building 12 engineering structures  (iv) improving 759.4 km of feeder roads  and (v) upgrading/ dualising 52.6 km of the classified road network. These road rehabilitation works will help improve infrastructure and open up remote areas. It will also strengthen integrated rural development programs and improve livelihoods, with expected benefits respectively for agropastoral, industrial, tourism and craft activities. Project activities will start at the end of 2010, and will be completed by the end of 2015.  The project’s objective is to improve the level of service of the classified road network and open up isolated rural areas in order to intensify intra/interregional trade, and ensure better accessibility to the country’s main development poles, and thus contribute to opening up agricultural production areas by linking them to the classified network.  The project will benefit the entire population, including the north-western populations (Beja, Jendouba, Kef, Siliana and Zaghouan), the center-west (Kasserine, Kairouan and Sidi Bouzid) and the south (Gafsa, Kebili, Tozeur and Médenine). The industrial sector will see further growth, in Kef and Kairouan, with the construction of a new cable manufacturing plant and an electrical equipment factory in Kef. 4,000 new jobs are expected to be created by the end of the project.

Mali - Development Programme for the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone of Koulikoro and Semi-Urban Bamako Regions (PDZSTA-BK). The Development Programme for the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone in Koulikoro and Semi-Urban Bamako Regions (PDZSTA-KB) is the Pilot Phase of a development programme for twelve (12) agro-industrial processing zones. It aims to help reduce agro-food imports and improve food and nutrition security in Mali by establishing private sector-led agro-industrial development poles. PDZSTA-KB seeks to support Mali in its agricultural transformation programme by promoting private investment, as well as creating conditions and providing incentives likely to attract the national and international private sector to establish in Bacoumana agro-industrial park (AIP). It’s also a proposal to reverse the downward trend in agro-industry value added in Mali and disseminate agricultural development technologies that can slow down the degradation of natural resources. The programme comprises four (4) main components, namely: (i) Establishment of Governance in the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZs)  (ii) Development of Transformation and Access Infrastructure  (iii) Capacity Building for Key Stakeholders of Growth Sectors  and (iv) Programme Coordination and Management.  The project goal is to promote inclusive agricultural transformation by reducing agro-food imports through private investment in priority value chains.  The main beneficiaries of the programme are the populations of the three circles of Kangaba, Kati and Koulikoro plus the district of Bamako, with a population of 1.6 million, at least 79% of whom are engaged in agriculture. This region also includes some of the most vulnerable communities in Mali, due to the alarming degradation of natural resources, climate change and the misperception of gold panning and migration as prosperity activities.

Mali - African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI): Country Membership Programme. The Programme is designed as a financial operation to finance part of the cost of Mali's membership of the African Trade Insurance Agency (ACA) programme. It was designed because Mali does not have the required capacity and financial resources to effectively manage the numerous issues impacting on the successful implementation of trade finance and underwriting of productive in-ward investments. In this regard, the Malian Government requires timely and coordinated support to ensure accelerated implementation of ATI's mandate in the country. The programme supports delivery of an integrated and enhanced trade finance and investment risk underwriting framework for the private sector in Mali, as well as improved attractiveness of foreign investment and the business framework. The project will strengthen the country's capacity to attract much-needed investment resources through improved political and credit risk (both real and pedrceived) environment, due to the country’s member ship with ATI. The expected results can be summarized as follows: (i) ATI will sign a participation agreement with Mali, to enable ATI to start operations in the country. Thereafter, Mali will be able to: (ii) finalise its membership subscription process by completing all relevant shareholding formalities  and (iii) the Republic of Mali will become a member country in which ATI can conduct business.  The project objective is to strengthen the capacity of Mali with the required financial resources for membership subscription to African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI). This will enable the country to mobilise significant foreign direct investment (FDI) and provide greater insurance coverage for the sovereign and private sectors in support of the country's economic recovery efforts.  The immediate direct project beneficiary is the Republic of Mali (MLI). Indirect beneficiaries will include, but not limited to, the private sector, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly female-run businesses, and commercial banks.

The Gambia - Economic and Financial Governance Operation (EFIGO) – Phase II. This programme will be the Bank’s third general budget support operation in The Gambia and is designed as the second in a multi-year programme and a continuation of the EFIGO-I. The programme was appraised in March 2013 and is in response to a request for support from the Government of The Gambia made during the preparation of the 2012-2015 Joint Assistance Strategy (JAS). It has also been designed in close collaboration with Development Partners (DPs) and Government authorities.  The programme’s development objective maintains focus on the promotion of economic growth by enhancing efficiency in the management of Government resources. The aim is to help the Government continue its efforts in lowering the fiscal deficit and reducing reliance on public deb. The expected outcome is improved fiscal discipline and increased resource mobilization by strengthening transparency and accountability in public financial management (ref ADF/BD/WP/2012/105). Building on the achievements of EFIGO-I, the main outputs of the reform agenda will be (i) enhanced mediumterm budget planning  (ii) improved debt management practices  improved resource mobilization  (iii) improved procurement practices  (iv) improved internal audit practices and (iv) improved external audit practices.  The EFIGO is designed to assist Government in implementing PAGE, therefore the direct beneficiaries are Government departments, in which the technical and operational capacity of officials will be strengthened throughout the implementation of the reforms. However, the end or indirect beneficiary is the population of The Gambia. In a context where the Government resources are limited and payments on debt interest is high, the financial resources from the ADF grant would help in reducing the fiscal burden while safe-guarding pro-poor spending and improving budget transparency by facilitating the incorporation of additional spending into the budget. Further, the fiscal space generated through the accompanying improved expenditure control will allow for greater spending oriented towards achieving the MDGs, especially in health and education. The programme will also indirectly impact the private sector through actions taken to improve the procurement processes.

Gambia - Debt Management and Domestic Revenue Institutional Support Project (DMDR-ISP). The proposed operation is a Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar III Grant of UA 1,000,000 for the Debt Management and Domestic Revenue Support Project in The Gambia (DMDR-SP). This is a technical assistance and institutional support Project, which aims to improve sustainable debt management practices and strengthen revenue mobilization capacity for greater fiscal and economic resilience. The Project generally involves acquisition of technical skills, extensive training of debt management staff on the effective utilisation of a new debt management software and broadening the coverage of the debt reporting to include State-Owned Enterprises (SOE)’s with significant contingent liabilities. The Project has three main components: namely (i) Improving sustainable and transparent debt management (ii) strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation capacity  and (iii) Project Management. The first two components reinforce and complement each other. In addition to reducing the stock of existing debt, improved revenue performance will reduce the need to procure new debt and hence contribute positively to debt sustainability. Improve debt management will lead to improved macroeconomic stability and attract private investments. Strengthening domestic revenue mobilization will ensure that Governments priority development needs are met while reducing the stock of debt without compromising growth. Both interventions are complimentary as increasing domestic revenue mobilization will support debt repayments. The Project will be implemented over a two-year period between January 2022 and December 2023.  The overall goal of the Project is to improve sustainable debt management practices and strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation capacity for greater fiscal and economic resilience. The Project has two key underlying specific objectives:(i) Strengthening capacity for a prudent, transparent 21The World Bank, IMF, EU and AfDB and sustainable debt management  (ii) Strengthening capacity for an effective and efficient revenue administration system.  The Project’s direct beneficiaries are the: The MoFEA (Directorate of Loans and Debt Management) the GRA’s Customs and Excise Department  Risk Management, Research, Post clearance audit and ASYCUDA units). The Project will benefit The Gambia’s 13 SOE’s and 5 Local Government or Urban Councils. Indirect beneficiaries include the Central Bank of The Gambia, Public Financial Management Unit (PFMU), Public debt community Partners notably, Macroeconomics, Accountant General and Budget departments of the Ministry of Finance. Indirectly the Project will also benefit the general population through increased fiscal space resulting from higher domestic revenue increasing resources inflows and better debt management systems. The Projects envisaged extensive capacity building activities and programs will consciously target female staff working in both GRA and DLDM in MoFEA.

The Guinea - Telecommunications Network Extension and Modernization Project (additional 2). The Guinea - Telecommunications Network Extension and Modernization Project (additional 1) was approved in December 1981 and was completed in December 1985.

Gabon - Economic Reforms Support Programme (PARE). The proposed operation is an AfDB loan of EUR 50 million to the Republic of Gabon to finance the Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE). It is the first phase in a programme-based series of two General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the period 2021-22 as outlined in the CSP. This first phase of “PARE” is a multi-year programme framework and a list of reform measures considered to be indicative triggers for the second phase. This programme-based approach helps to facilitate aid predictability and its alignment with national policies to create the conditions for a post-COVID-19 economic recovery. The purpose of PARE is to support Gabon’s efforts to exit the COVID-19 pandemic-related crisis and to revive its economy in line with its ambitious development programme, the PSGE. PARE will provide: (i) financial assistance to offset the drastic drop in oil revenues  (ii) support to public finance reforms to help rebuild the State’s budgetary headroom  and lastly (iii) support for the revival of priority sectors by improving the business environment and transparency in the forestry sector.  PARE’s overall goal is to support post-COVID-19 efforts and lay the groundwork for rapid economic recovery. The objectives are to: (i) improve public finance management, (ii) support the competitiveness of key forestry and energy sectors.  PARE will benefit Gabon's entire population through the availability of greater public resources, the streamlining of expenditure and specific reforms aimed at supporting strong, diversified and job-creating growth. It will especially benefit the following groups: (i) vulnerable people will be able to benefit from better infrastructure and quality social services due to the budgetary space that the PARE-supported reforms will achieve  (ii) Gabon’s entrepreneurs and foreign investors wishing to create a business or invest in the framework of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) will benefit from a more incentive and transparent framework  (iii) Gabon’s SMEs with credit access constraints  (iv) public, private and community actors involved in the forestry sector will benefit from a more adequate framework for the development of their activities.

Supporting The National Strategy In The Development of Statistics (Nsds). Objectifs et résultats attendus par composante du projet L'objectif principal du projet est de renforcer le système statistique de la Guinée pour améliorer la production de l'information statistique nécessaire à l'élaboration et au suivi et évaluation des politiques, programmes et projets de développement en général, et de la stratégie de réduction de la pauvreté en particulier. Les objectifs par composantes sont les suivants : Composante 1 : Appui à la réalisation du troisième Recensement général de la population et de l'habitat (RGPH-III). D'une manière générale, le RGPH-III va contribuer : (i) à l'amélioration de la connaissance de l'effectif global et des caractéristiques sociodémographiques et économiques de la population guinéenne ainsi qu'à une meilleure appréciation de l'évolution des tendances démographiques du pays et   (ii) à l'élaboration ainsi qu'au suivi et évaluation des programmes et plans de développement économiques et social. Les résultats attendus du RGPH sont : ,,Les tableaux statistiques des résultats provisoires sur la répartition des ménages et des populations par sexe selon les unités géographiques   ,,Les tableaux statistiques des résultats définitifs sur la répartition des ménages selon les caractéristiques et conditions de logement et les rapports d'analyse des données  ,,Les tableaux statistiques des résultats définitifs sur la répartition de la population selon les caractéristiques sociodémographiques   ,,Les rapports d'analyse des différents thèmes retenus   ,,Les cadres nationaux du Bureau central du recensement aptes à concevoir et exécuter les différentes phases du RGPH, 10 cadres formés respectivement aux logiciels Cspro, IMIS, Census Info et SPSS. Composante 2 : Amélioration de la couverture de la production statistique L'amélioration de la couverture de la production statistique vise d'une manière générale à organiser les systèmes d'information dans davantage de secteurs pour améliorer la qualité de la production statistique globale. Elle vise aussi à développer les statistiques de routine et réduire ainsi la dépendance vis-à-vis des grandes opérations. Ce projet couvre les besoins budgétaires dans ce domaine et dans les secteurs choisis pour une période de deux ans. Le caractère décentralisé du SSN impose à chaque ministère de produire les statistiques relevant du domaine de sa compétence. Il s'en suit souvent un déséquilibre dans la production statistique sectorielle. Si les secteurs des statistiques économiques, sociales et démographiques sont beaucoup soutenus dans le cadre du suivi de la pauvreté et des OMD, ceux de l'agriculture, des transports et de l'environnement le sont moins. Or, la faiblesse des sources statistiques limite la qualité globale des données et notamment des agrégats. Les secteurs de l'environnement, de l'agriculture et des transports retenus sont des axes stratégiques du DSRP. Les résultats attendus dans chaque secteur sont : ,,les outils conceptuels et méthodologiques pour chaque secteur et sous-secteur   ,,les annuaires statistiques par secteur (environnement, agriculture et transport).

Guinea - Kolenté Agro-Industrial Project (PAK). The Agro-Industrial Project is part of Guinea's five-year national recovery programme (1987-1991) and is part of the government's general policy to achieve food self-sufficiency. It consists of the agricultural development of a 1000 ha perimeter, 100 ha of which should be developed to receive irrigation. The project is expected to grow maize, rainfed rice, groundnuts, cassava and vegetables as well as sheep, goats and poultry. The project also aims to modernise farming systems by creating efficient family farms and installing farmers of a high technical level, thus increasing labour productivity and improving farmers' incomes. The main components of the project are: (A) implementation and monitoring studies, (B) agricultural development, (C) irrigation, (D) reception infrastructure, (E) processing units, (F) agricultural credit, (G) administration and management, and (H) maintenance and operation.  The objective of the project is to contribute to Guinea's food self-sufficiency in cereal products, tubers and market gardening.  The main beneficiaries of the project are agricultural households in the Kolenté sub-prefecture.

Republic of the Gambia - The Gambia Electricity Access Project (GEAP). The Gambia Electricity Access Project (GEAP) aims to increase the Gambian population's access to affordable and reliable electricity services. It’s designed to address not only the country’s needs in terms of power infrastructure development, but also the weaknesses of the sector’s institutional framework and the related poor technical capacity and financial standing of most of the power sector players through institutional development and capacity building activities. The project does not include investments in the expansion of the power generation capacity, but instead addresses the current strain to access in both rural and urban areas through grid expansion to make use of the affordable and reliable renewable capacity from OMVG interconnection. The GEAP involves the construction of Medium and Low Voltage lines, erection of transformers and connection of customers in Lower River, North Bank, Central River, and West Coast regions. It consists of three main components: (1) extension of electricity distribution infrastructure, (2) project implementation management and (3) institutional development and capacity building.  The ultimate objective of this project is to contribute to improve the Gambian population's living conditions by increasing access to affordable and reliable electricity services and empowering NAWEC and project areas communities.More specifically, the project will: (i) provide people access to electricity by connecting households and businesses  (ii) avoid CO2emissions  and (iii) create jobs and stimulate the local economy.  The  sixty  one  thousand  (61,000)  beneficiaries  of  the  project  will  be  households (including women headed households), small businesses, and public institutions (local governments, elementary,  high  schools,  and  health  centers)  in  urban  and  rural  areas:  approximately  22,000 customers in Lower River region  18,000 in North Bank region  15,000 in Central River region, and 6,000 in West Coast region. In addition, the project will reduce the customers’ connection charges by providing last-mile connection equipment (including prepaid meters) enabling poor households connection and management of their own consumption without the risk of the physical disconnection process that can arise because of unpaid monthly bills. Finally, the project activities will ultimately improve NAWEC’s operational efficiency and revenue base, which will in turn help improve the financial position of the sector and eventually result in lower end user tariffs.

Gambia - Participatory Integrated Watershed Management Project (PIWAMP). Le Projet de Gestion Participative et Intégrée de Bassin Hydrographique (PIWAMP) s’inscrit dans le droit fil des objectifs de développement du Gouvernement. Il constitue une priorité et devrait contribuer à la gestion durable de la base des ressources naturelles. Cela devrait permettre, à long terme, de renforcer la sécurité alimentaire des familles et de réduire la pauvreté. Le projet, en soutenant les communautés locales, vise l’accroissement des rendements et de la productivité des cultures, de l’élevage et de la foresterie, et, donc, la sécurité alimentaire ainsi que l’amélioration des revenus au niveau des ménages. Les résultats attendus du projet sont: la formation et habilitation des communautés en matière de gestion des ressources naturelles  l’accroissement de la production et la productivité de la zone du projet sur une base durable  l’amélioration de l’accès aux infrastructures de marché et aux intrants. Le projet proposé prévoit trois composantes, à savoir : A) le renforcement des capacités  B) l’aménagement du basin hydrographique   C) la gestion du projet.  L’objectif sectoriel consiste à réduire la pauvreté et améliorer la sécurité alimentaire des ménages. L’objectif du projet est d’accroître la productivité des terres et réduire l’érosion des sols de manière durable.  Le groupe cible prioritaire est constitué par les petits exploitants démunis, qui dépendent des cultures traditionnelles des hautes terres et de la production de riz sur les basses terres comme principal moyen de subsistance. Pour le développement des basses terres, le premier groupe cible devrait être les femmes, et les hommes, pour ce qui est de l’agriculture écologique sur les hautes terres.

Mali - COVID-19 Support Programme in G5 Sahel Countries - Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad (PARC COVID-19 - G5 Sahel). The proposed intervention concerns the Mali component of the COVID-19 Crisis Response Programme in the G5 Sahel Countries (PARC COVID-19 – G5 SAHEL). This is a loan and award a grant to the G5 Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad) of UA 118.9 million and UA 89.6 million respectively from the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility. It will be implemented over 12 months from July 2020. The Programme was appraised in April 2020 following requests to the Bank by the countries. The first COVID-19 case in Mali was reported on 25 March 2020 and by 5 June 2020, the total number of cases stood at 1,461. To contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mali took several preventive and protection measures including (i) the closure of all land borders, (ii) the suspension of commercial flights from COVID-19-affected countries until further notice, except for cargo flights, (iii) the temporary closure of public, private and denominational schools (nursery, primary, secondary and tertiary) and (iv) the ban, till further notice, of social, sports and political gatherings of over 50 persons. These measures caused a slump in economic demand and supply, leading to an abrupt and widespread economic slowdown. This Programme complements the other budget support operations, particularly the Multinational Coronavirus Pandemic Control Support Project for G5 member countries approved on 9 June 2020, aimed at providing the region with adequate operational capacities to combat the pandemic. More specifically, the programme will contribute to the financing of response plans through the budget support it will provide. It will also support measures aimed at improving the financial management of the response plans and mitigating the health, social and economic-related impacts.  The programme’s global objective is to help to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mali. It aims specifically to (i) build health capacity to fight against COVID-19, (ii) mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on vulnerable persons and (iii) mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19.  The whole population of Mali will benefit from this programme since it will help to mitigate the health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population and reduce the economic shock on enterprises hit by the economic downturn induced by the pandemic. Thanks to the programme, the capacity of Mali’s public administration will be built to marshal the health response, protect the most vulnerable segments of the population and support economic activity. All these elements will help to build the resilience and inclusive character of the Malian economy.

Mali - Economic Growth Support Programme II (PACE-II). The Economic Growth Support Programme – Phase II (PACE-II) is the second phase of a programme-based budget operation to support reforms over the 2017-2019 period. PACE-II is a continuation of PACE-I. It covers 2019 and aims to consolidate the gains of previous budget support operations in general and PACE-I, in particular, through such complementary structural reforms as: (i) the adoption of a revenue mobilisation optimisation action plan  (ii) the publication of tax exemption related social expenditure  (iii) the revision of the Mining and Customs Codes  and (iv) the operationalisation of the Sustainable Development Fund. The appraisal of PACE II took place in a context of worsening global security with the appearance of new pockets of conflicts in the centre of the country, especially in Ségou and Mopti Regions. Structured similar to Phase I of the programme, PACE II comprises three complementary components: (a) improvement of public finance management  (b) promotion of competitiveness and private sector development  and (c) strengthening of inclusive development. These three components will contribute to addressing the main constraints and challenges facing the country.  PACE II is the second phase of PACE whose main objective is to contribute to the creation of conditions for a robust, sustained and inclusive economic growth driven by a more dynamic private sector by strengthening public finance sustainability and implementing structural reforms. Specifically, the programme will place emphasis on reforms aiming to: (i) improve public revenue mobilisation  (ii) strengthen public expenditure effectiveness to create a deeper impact on the country’s economic and social development  (iii) support the competitiveness of the economy with special emphasis on capacity building for the private sector and energy sector reforms  and (iv) strengthen inclusive development through the furtherance of decentralisation and improvement of social inclusion. Thus, the programme hopes to respond to the major challenges and constraints facing the country.  PACE-II will benefit the entire people of Mali thanks to better public finance management and the development of a more dynamic private sector. Strengthening public finance management will indeed enhance basic social service delivery and facilitate access thereto. Support for greater economic competitiveness will also foster the emergence of a crop of more dynamic entrepreneurs, thereby helping to lay the groundwork for sustained inclusive growth. Vulnerable population groups will also benefit from the reforms targeting more inclusive development in Mali. Specifically, PACE II will help to create conditions for a multi-pronged approach to enable women to access social protection and local development through their registration in the unified social register to serve as a basis for the targeting of all development projects and programmes in favour of vulnerable persons. In the same vein, support for private sector development will help to build the operational capacity of SMEs headed by women and to improve their access to financing, thereby contributing to their autonomy and the reduction of gender inequalities. The project is classified in “Category 3” according to the Bank’s Gender Marker System. The other programme beneficiaries are Government departments (Ministry of Economy and Finance, Ministry in charge of the Private Sector, Ministry in charge of Decentralisation, Ministry in charge of Solidarity, etc.).

Telecommunications Development project. Morocco's telecommunications development project is part of the country's most ambitious program in the sector since the creation of the National Office of Posts and Telecommunications in 1984. This program, designed for the period 1993-1997, follows the 1984-1988 program, which initially allowed for 635,000 lines, which were clearly insufficient to cope with the pressure of demand. It responds to the Government's objectives to improve telecommunication services in Morocco with a view to creating better conditions for economic and social development. It will contribute to the financial consolidation of the ONPT and to the increase of the tax revenues of the State. The project comprises the following components: (i) switching  (ii) long distance transmission  (iii) local network  (iv) rural telecommunications  (v) buildings, vehicles, sundries  (vi) technical assistance  (vii) data processing. The total cost of the project is estimated at UA 504.56 million.  The objective of the project is to significantly increase the capacity of central offices to increase the penetration rate of the telephone, to make available to economic operators modern communication tools to increase their competitiveness  to improve the economic and social integration of the country and to open up rural areas.  This project is expected to better meet demand by connecting 332,000 additional subscribers, providing automatic links to 706 rural locations, improving the quality of services, and increasing the financial profitability of the ONPT.

Mali - Economic Governance and Gender Promotion Support Project. The present intervention concerns the Project to Support Economic Governance and Gender Promotion. It aims to improve economic governance and women's living conditions. The main components of the project are: (I) support for the General Census of Economic Units  (II) development of Mali's gender profile  (III) Institutional Support  and (IV) project management. Activities planned under this project should strengthen the country's resilience by improving economic governance and addressing gender inequalities, two major sources of fragility in Mali. They will improve the effectiveness of public policies through the development of relevant decision-making tools (reliable business statistics, robust economic analyses and prospective studies), transparency in public life and the fight against corruption, as well as the integration of the gender variable in national strategic documents.  The overall objective of the project is to improve economic governance and women's living conditions, through support to capacity building activities of institutions in charge of economic governance, transparency of public life and the fight against corruption, and gender promotion. Specifically, this project aims to: (i) improve the National Statistical System (NSS) through the production of quality information on statistics from enterprises (formal and informal) run by women and men  (ii) develop the gender profile with a view to providing sex-disaggregated data in different sectors, while analysing the causes and consequences of identified gender disparities  (iii) strengthen the capacities of agents and structures in charge of the formulation and implementation of national policies, in particular policies for development, the promotion of transparency in public life and the fight against corruption, and those relating to the reduction of gender inequalities.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Government of Mali.

Morocco - Post, Telecommunications and Information Technologies Sector Adjustment Programme (PASPT&I). The Post, Telecommunications and Information Technologies Sector Adjustment Programme (PASPT&I) was developed by the Moroccan government and jointly supported by the Bank and the World Bank as a result of several structural adjustment programs since the mid-1980s. Through the opening of the telecommunications market to competition, it aims to improve the sector's contribution to economic growth and job creation. This liberalization, initiated during the program, was essentially due to the opening of the market, with the admission of a second GSM operator and the opening of the private capital of IAM. It is expected as results: greater access to telecommunications services at competitive prices for the national economy and the global market  an improvement in the quality of service and an increase in the telephone density.  The major objective pursued is the improvement of the contribution of the sector to the economic growth of the country and balance of external accounts, by improving the internal and external competitiveness of companies. The specific objective is to liberalize the provision of telecommunications services under transparent competitive conditions.  The program will benefit directly to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

DEVELOPPEMENT DES INFRASTRUCTURES DES TELECOMUNICATIONS. The intervention is relative to the Information Infrastructure Sector Development Support Program. It aims to support the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco in consolidating and strengthening the achievements and results of the first reform program of the postal, telecommunications and information technology sector. The main components of the program are as follows: (a) the privatization of Maroc Télécom (IAM)  (B) strengthening of competition in telecommunications infrastructure services  (C) extension of access to services  (D) strengthening the regulatory framework  (E) development of a national strategy for the modernization of the postal sector  and (F) development of the use of information technology.  The objective of the program is to support the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco in consolidating and strengthening the achievements and results of the first reform program of the postal, telecommunications and information technology sector, by implementing a series of complementary measures / reforms to ensure the sustained development of the sector and maximize its social impact.  The main beneficiaries of the program are: the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, enterprises and populations.

Mali - Project for the Economic Empowerment of Women in the Shea Butter Subsector (PAEFFK). The Project for the Economic Empowerment of Women in the Shea Butter Subsector (PAEFFK) aims to contribute to the economic empowerment of women in the shea subsector and to increase their incomes. At a cost of about UA 5.6 million, and spanning a period of five years, PAEFFK will support the establishment and formalisation of 400 cooperatives as well as the improvement of the competitiveness of their products, both in terms of quantity and quality. The project will increase the knowledge of the target group of women involved in the production of shea butter. This knowledge will be consolidated and disseminated by the project coordination. The project will also support the various structures involved to enable them to better capitalise on the project’s benefits, particularly in the efficient and sustainable management and operation of the structures set up  the animation of training sessions, study trips and exchange of experiences. The project is structured around three components, namely: 1) professionalisation of rural enterprises specialised in shea-butter processing  2) increased women’s production in term of quality and quantity  and 3) project management.  The project goal is to contribute to strengthening economic empowerment through shea butter and stimulate inclusive growth of rural women.  The project’s implementation will make it possible to directly reach 50,000 women from the 400 targeted cooperatives in the project impact areas. The indirect beneficiaries are estimated at over 800,000 people in the production regions (local buyers, wholesalers, distributors, economic operators, retailers, etc.).

Morocco - The Ouarzazate Solar Power Station Project – Phase I. The Ouarzazate Solar Power Station Project – Phase I will enable Morocco to honour its national and international commitments. It is part of the Moroccan Solar Plan designed under Morocco's energy strategy and, on a larger scale, it forms part of the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Investment Plan of the Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA). Under the Moroccan solar plan, five complexes will be built in Ouarzazate, Foum Al Oued, Boujdour, Sebkhat Tah and Aïn Béni Mathar. The Ouarzazate Power Station Project 1 is the first CTF-supported project for large-scale implementation of CSP technology in the MENA region. Morocco's solar energy programme is expected to create jobs locally. Eventually, it will enable Morocco to sell green energy to Europe at profitable rates and earn foreign exchange. This will have a positive effect on its trade balance. The project components are: (i) construction of energy infrastructure  and (ii) operational support, and project administration and management.  The goal of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station Project is to initiate the development of CSP technology in Morocco by constructing Phase 1 of the Ouarzazate Complex (125 to 160 MW).  The project will specifically benefit the Government, Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN), National Electricity Authority (ONE), private partners and the people of Morocco. In the project area, the NGO Fondation Ouarzazate, composed of executives and intellectuals from the sub-region and which operates mainly in the health sector, has already identified certain necessary social actions that need to be implemented in the project area as support measures. The project will support local development initiatives.

Mali - Economic Governance Reform Support Programme - Phase II. The Economic Governance Reform Support Programme, Phase II (PARGE-II) is the second of two programme-based general budget support operations (GBS) in favor of the Republic of Mali for the 2015-2016 period. The two operations are single-tranche operations. The first phase, PARGE-I, which was financed through a UA 15 million grant, was approved on 4 November 2015 and the resources disbursed on 15 December 2015. The present PARGE Phase II was adopted following the successful implementation of PARGE-I and previous budget support, the results of which contributed to the improvement of the national public financial management system and the development of the private sector. The previous operations, in particular the Emergency Economic Recovery Support Programme (PUARE) and the Emergency Governance and Economic Recovery Support Programme (PAUGRE) approved in 2013 and 2014 respectively, have, through the implementation of major structural reforms, created conditions for inclusive and sustainable growth that will gradually help the country to emerge from its situation of fragility. PARGE – II is focuse on the same components, namely: (i) Improvement of Public Expenditure Efficiency  and (ii) Support for Private Sector Development.  By enhancing economic governance, PARGE aims to help create conditions for strong and sustained inclusive economic growth driven by a better developed and more vibrant private sector. PARGE-II has the same operational objectives as PARGE-I, namely to: (i) improve fiscal decentralisation  (ii) enhance transparency in public procurement management  (iii) strengthen internal control in order to improve the use of public resources  (iv) improve the business environment  and (v) support private enterprise development and promote anchor investments.  PARGE-II will benefit the entire Malian population by improving public expenditure effectiveness and creating a more dynamic private sector. Improved public resource management will increase the delivery of basic social services and facilitate countrywide access to them. The implementation of the Program's reforms will improve the living conditions of vulnerable groups in general and women in particular in the northern areas that have suffered the greatest negative impact of this 2012 security crisis. The program as a whole will improve gender inequalities in Mali.

Morocco - Ouarzazate Solar Complex Project – Phase II (NOORo II and NOORo III Power Plants). This project is phase II of the Ouarzazate Solar Complex whose commissioning is expected in 2017 in order to meet national needs. Phase I is under construction and includes the construction of all the common infrastructures and the first 160 MW solar power station (NOORo I) to be operational by the end of 2015. Phase II aims to reach a capacity of about 500 MW by the construction of two plants (NOORo II and NOORo III) with a total capacity of about 350 MW, in Public Private Partnership (PPP) as for NOORo I. The Ouarzazate complex is part of the Moroccan solar program that aims to develop 2,000 MW by 2020. It will be executed by MASEN. Its total cost is estimated at EUR 1 752 million. In addition to the Bank and the FTP, the other partners involved are the French Development Agency (FDA), the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), KFW Bankengruppe and the EU.  The project will help prevent the emission of approximately 522 000 tonnes of CO2 per year, hence its contribution to mitigating the effects of climate change. The project will help secure the energy supply of the population (more 98% has access to electricity) and productive sectors. The project aims to support the economic and social development of Morocco, while respecting the environment by the introduction of clean electricity generation capacity. The project involves the construction of two solar thermo concentrating power plants  a 200 MW parabolic mirror plant (NOORo II) and a 150 MW solar tower plant (NOORo III) with a total capacity of approximately 350 MW, and an estimated cumulative production of more than 1 100 GWh/year on average. Each plant will be equipped with a thermal energy storage device of at least five (05) hours of operation at full capacity, which ensures a better integration of the production in the electrical mix especially during peak hours which are, in Morocco, between 5 pm and 10 pm in winter and between 6 pm and 11 pm in summer.  The beneficiaries of the project will be the Moroccan populations, Moroccan companies and all the productive sectors (industries, transport, agriculture, etc.) which will benefit not only from a better availability of electricity supply but also from cleaner power generation. At the local level, the project will have socio-economic benefits in the Ouarzazate province whose population is estimated at 583,000 inhabitants and where the poverty rate is around 23%.

Mali - Studies for the elaboration of the Master Plan and Investment Programme of the Integrated Development and Climate Resilience Project in the Delta 2 Plains (PDIR-PD2). The Project consists mainly in the preparation of the Master Plan and the Priority Investment Program for Integrated Development and Climate Resilience of Populations in the Delta 2 Plains (PDIR-PD2). The PDIR-PD2 consists of relevant support from the African Water Facility (AWF) to provide the Segou Rice Office (ORS) with a medium and long-term planning tool in its intervention area, and implementation studies for the construction of hydro-agricultural development infrastructure in the Delta plains 2. It is well justified in terms of its impacts on food security, the increase of the income of the populations of the zone and the climatic resilience of the populations of the ORS zone. The project will therefore be a powerful catalyst for the region's integrated economic and social development and for climate change adaptation and resilience. This initiative is fully in line with Mali's Strategic Framework for Economic Recovery and Sustainable Development (CREEDD 2016-2018) and with the priorities of AWF's 2017-2025 operational strategy. The implementation of the PDIR-PD2 will be based on the principles of the participatory approach  all stakeholders will be regularly consulted throughout the development process of the master plan of development and integrated development (SDADI) and preparation of the Priority Investment Program (PIP) as well as the preparation of feasibility studies and execution of hydro-agricultural schemes. The total amount of the Project is 2,128,644 euros. It will run over a period of 24 months.  At the sectoral level, this project aims to: a) promote sustainable socio-economic development in the intervention area of the Segou Rice Office (ORS) through the development of water resources, with a view to the resilience of populations to climate change  b) increase agro-sylvo-pastoral and piscicultural production  (c) to generate employment, especially for young people and women, and to diversify the sources of income of the population. Specifically, the project aims to provide the Segou Rice Office (ORS) with a medium and long-term planning tool and environmental and implementation studies for the construction of the Delta 2 plains development infrastructure.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the entire intervention area of the Segou Rice Office (ORS) generally estimated at 1,015,719 inhabitants in 44 rural communes, 875 villages, and particularly farmers, breeders and fishermen whose number is estimated at 170,000 people in the plains of Delta 2. Women make up the majority of project beneficiaries (50.6% of the population in the project area). The project also aims to contribute to the reduction of the exodus and migration of young people. In addition to the populations, the State, the deconcentrated technical services, the decentralized structures, the University of Segou and the Technical and Financial Partners (TFP) of the rural sector will also benefit from the project. Finally, ORS will benefit from the Project through: (i) the provision of a master plan for the planning of hydro-agricultural development  (ii) the provision of an Investment Program including priority actions on hydro-agricultural development, the resilience of populations to climate change, rural development support actions, IGAs  (iii) strengthening the technical and institutional capacity of ORS and development actors in the project area.

Mali - Mini Hydropower Plants and Related Distribution Networks Development Project (PDM-HYDRO). This project is related to the development of mini hydroelectric power plants and their associated distribution networks (PDM-HYDRO). It is part of the large-scale renewable energy upgrading program (SREP) approved by the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) in November 2011 for Mali.

Morocco - Morocco Economic Competitiveness Support Programme. Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (PACEM) aims to create accelerated growth through improved competitiveness of the economy. It aims to contribute to efforts by the authorities to reduce microeconomic constraints, including those on efficient public and private investment, tax system distortions and the slow enforcement of court decisions on businessrelated cases. Hence, while addressing the country’s financing needs for 2015, PACEM will allow for continuation of dialogue on competitiveness-supporting reforms with the Moroccan authorities, before engaging in a medium-term programme-based support. The programme seeks to consolidate and deepen reforms implemented under the Economic and Financial Governance Support Programme (PARGEF/Hakama). The expected programme outcomes include: (i) improved competitiveness of the Moroccan economy  (ii) increased number of sole proprietorships (“auto-entrepreneurs”)  (iii) improved public investment management  and (iv) greater transparency in the public procurement system. PACEM comprises two complementary components: (I) Improve the private investment climate  and (II) Improve public investment efficiency.  PACEM aims to contribute to create conditions for accelerated and inclusive economic growth by strengthening the competitiveness of the Moroccan economy. Specifically, its objective is to improve the efficiency of private and public investment, with a view to maximizing the impact on growth, economic transformation and job creation.  PACEM will benefit the entire Moroccan population by improving competitiveness that will underpin growth and job creation. In particular, it will benefit: (i) Moroccan SMEs that will witness the lifting of several constraints hampering the development of their activities, especially provision of public procurement collaterals and additional incentives to employ workers  (ii) major project investors, who will have a more transparent and encouraging framework for investment and negotiation, as well as a clear system for PPPs  (iii) informal sector workers and the unemployed, mostly women, who will make the most of the tax amnesty and the new incentives system set up as part of the sole proprietor arrangement.

Mali - Economic Growth Support Programme - Phase I (PACE-I). PACE-I is the first phase of a series of two programmatic budget support operations covering the 2017 and 2018 budget years with an overall indicative allocation of UA 18 million. The Program aims to consolidate the gains of previous budget support and contribute to sustained economic growth through better mobilization of public resources, improved efficiency of public spending and development of the private sector. The program is a continuation of previous budget support, the results of which have helped to improve the national system of public financial management and private sector development. Indeed, previous operations, in particular PARGE I and II "Support Program for Economic Governance Reforms" respectively in 2015 and 2016, have made progress in the areas of: (i) public procurement management  (ii) fiscal decentralization  (iii) the effectiveness of internal control  (iv) the promotion of investments and the development of private enterprises  and (v) the business environment. The progress made through the PARGE has thus made it possible to create the conditions for inclusive and sustainable growth for a gradual exit of the country from the situation of fragility. PACE-I presents the multi-year program framework and provides a list of reform measures in 2017 as prior actions and triggers for the second phase in 2018 (PACE-II).  The overall objective of PACE-I is to contribute, through the strengthening of the sustainability of public finances and the implementation of structural reforms, to the creation of conditions for strong economic growth, sustained, inclusive and driven by a more dynamic private sector. The program aims to focus on reforms aimed at: (i) improving the mobilization of public resources  (ii) enhance the effectiveness of public spending to increase its impact on the economic and social development of the country  (iii) support the competitiveness of the economy with particular emphasis on private sector development and support for energy sector reforms and  (iv) strengthen inclusive development through strengthening decentralization and improving social inclusion.  PACE-I will benefit the Malian population as a whole. Strengthening public financial management increases the supply and facilitates access to basic social services. Supporting greater competitiveness of the economy will enable the emergence of dynamic entrepreneurs, helping to create the basis for sustained and inclusive growth. Vulnerable populations are the beneficiaries of reforms aimed at a more inclusive development with the provision of local public services. The other beneficiaries are the public administrations involved in the Program, whose implementation of the reforms will strengthen the technical and operational capacity to provide quality public services.

Morocco - The Financial Sector Development Support Programme. The Financial Sector Development Support Program (PADESFI) falls within the framework of deepening of the reforms undertaken since the early 90s to modernize financial sector in Morocco, for the benefit of the population, private and the semipublic sectors. It is a EUR 162 million sector budget support to be implemented as from December 2009 for a 12-month period ending on 31 December 2010. The programme addresses the challenges arising from the recent global economic crisis, which the Government intends to meet, as soon as possible, with the coordinated support of the Bank and the World Bank, so as to consolidate and expand the achievements of the previous four financial sector adjustment programmes (PASFI I to PASFI IV). PADESFI will contribute to institution building of the public administration and private sector, including associations. The overall expected outcomes following its implementation are: (i) improvement of access by the population to financial services  (ii) improvement of access by enterprises to financing  (iii) strengthening of the financial market and insurance sector oversight mechanism  and (iv) deepening of the financial market.  The purpose of PADESFI is to create conditions required for sustainable economic growth through the development of the financial sector. Its specific objective is to strengthen the governance of the financial sector and deepen it by improving access of the population and enterprises to financial services, and diversifying financial instruments.  The final beneficiaries of the programme are the Moroccan population as a whole. They will derive benefits in terms of standard of living when conditions are created for sustainable economic growth. The other beneficiaries are the private sector and semi-public sector whose access to financing will be facilitated thanks to the availability of long-term resources on the financial market and thanks to improved efficiency of the national guarantee system and establishment of a public-private investment fund.

Morocco - Financial Sector Development Support Programme - Phase II. The Financial Sector Development Support Programme – Phase II (PADESFI - II) is intended to accelerate reforms in the Moroccan financial sector. It addresses the challenges which the Government intends to meet, as soon as possible with a view to consolidating and expanding the achievements of the first phase of the programme (PADESFI-I) and the gains of the four financial sector adjustment programmes (PASFI I to PASFI IV). PADESFI II should also strengthen the microfinance sector by improving the governance of associations engaging in the activity and also through the formulation of a strategic vision for the sector’s development. In addition, by focusing on improving access to financing for SMEs/VSEs, modernizing the guarantee scheme and risk management as well as strengthening the supervision of the banking, insurance and financial market sectors, PADESFI-II will contribute to the development of an enabling environment for private sector activities. The program has four main components, namely: (i) improving population’s access to financial services  (ii) improving access of businesses to financing  (iii) strengthening of the financial sector governance mechanism  and (iv) deepening the capital market.  The goal of PADESFI-II is to create the requisite conditions for sustainable economic growth. Its specific objective is to strengthen the development of the financial sector by consolidating and deepening the gains of PADESFI-I.  The programme’s end beneficiaries are the Moroccan people as a whole, who will enjoy improved living standards as a result of sustainable economic growth that will generate employment and income. The intermediate beneficiaries are: (i) the private sector and semi-public sector which, through the reforms, will have easier access to financial services that will foster their growth  (ii) households as economic agents, whose bank use rate will further improve as a result of greater coverage of the national territory by the banking networks, in addition to easier access to loans, especially for the acquisition of housing. Thus, facilitating access to credit, especially for SMEs, VSEs and households, not only in general terms but also in terms of spatial coverage, will help to generate income and create jobs, thereby encouraging more inclusive growth.

Morocco - Financial Sector Development Support Programme – Phase III (PADESFI III). This project concerns the third phase of the Financial Sector Development Support Program (PADESFI-III) in Morocco. This is a sector budget support to be implemented for a 12-month period ending 31 December 2015. It is a continuation of the two previous phases of the programme implemented in 2009 and 2011, respectively, the achievements of which it intends to consolidate and deepen. The operation is also a continuation of the series of four financial sector adjustment programmes that the Bank and other multilateral donors, particularly the World Bank and European Union, have supported. The overall expected outcomes following programme implementation are: (i) improvement of the population’s access to financial services  (ii) improvement of access of enterprises, especially VSMEs, to financing  (iii) strengthening of the financial sector governance mechanism  and (iv) deepening of the capital market. Compared to the two previous programmes, PADESFI-III specifically targets greater financial inclusion of the most vulnerable population segments (youths and women) and SMEs/VSEs operating in regions outside the Casablanca – Rabat axis.  PADESFI-III’s goal is to create the required conditions for inclusive economic growth by consolidating the financial sector and fostering broader financial inclusion. Its specific objective is to strengthen financial sector development, particularly by improving access of the population and enterprises to financial services, deepening the sector and strengthening its governance.  The programme’s end beneficiaries are the Moroccan people as a whole. The programme will especially benefit the key intermediate stakeholders namely: (i) the private sector, especially SMEs/VSEs which, thanks to reforms to be implemented, will have easier access to financial services to foster their growth  and (ii) households as economic agents, particularly youths and women, whose bank use rate will further improve as a result of greater coverage of the national territory by the banking networks, in addition to easier access to loans and other financial payment and transfer services.

Morocco - Quality Basic Education Support Project. The Project for Supporting Quality Basic Education was identified in 1997 and prepared under the Social Priorities Program, known as BAJ. The project constitutes a significant effort for the generalization of basic education in Morocco. It provides an appropriate response to the problems that affect the qualitative development of the Moroccan education system through the creation of the National Institute for Research and Pedagogical Development. The project covers rural areas at the national level. By focusing on the rural areas, it intends to contribute to the alleviation of poverty through the quality basic education that will be provided to children, girls and boys, who otherwise would have been deprived of it, in order to enable them to acquire the basic knowledge necessary for their harmonious integration into society. The project will contribute to reducing the inequalities in access to basic education that still affect the populations, particularly women, in rural and peri-urban areas of the country while promoting the effective participation of local authorities in financing and to the management of basic education. The interventions will be spread out over a period of four years, around the following components: (i) Extension of the network of colleges in rural areas  (ii) Support to the quality of education and educational innovations  (iii) Strengthening the project executing agency.  The project will contribute to the development of national human resources. Its specific objectives are, on the one hand, to increase schooling and retention rates and, on the other hand, to reduce drop-out rates and repetition, at the level of the second cycle of basic education in rural areas.  The main beneficiaries of the project will be the approximately 13,000 young people admitted each year in the 6th AF, from rural areas, and especially girls, who wish to access the second cycle every year and cannot do so, currently for lack of a nearby college. A total of 40,000 young people from rural areas will be able to attend school annually in the 2nd cycle of the fundamentals thanks to the project. More generally, all elementary and high school students who will benefit from the revised curricula and textbooks will also benefit from the spinoffs of the project. The 900 directors and 8,000 college teachers trained in the project will also benefit as their performance is improved.

PROGRAMME DE REFORME DU SYSTEME EDUCATIF. The present operation constitutes the first phase of the Educational System Reform Program (PRSE), which has been jointly prepared by the Government and the World Bank since 1981. The PRES constitutes a fundamental reorientation of the educational system in Morocco. It focuses on improving the chances of access to basic education and includes a set of measures to be taken and action to achieve the objectives of the reform for the years 1987 and 1988. The realization of this first phase of the program will make it possible to set up the basic structures of the reform, namely: the reorientation of the school system in favor of basic education  the implementation of measures to improve the use of educational resources  strengthening the principles of cost sharing and private sector participation. This support will be used to finance equipment costs, furniture, operating costs related to the entire education system of the country, that is, primary, secondary (1st and 2nd cycles), training of trainers and higher.  The program aims to promote cost-effective educational services that are more equitable, more effective and more responsive to national development needs in the medium term. To achieve these goals, three main changes are needed: (i) give priority to basic education for the allocation of a larger share of resources at the primary and lower secondary levels  (ii) strengthen vocational training to meet the country's needs for a skilled workforce  (iii) control the growth of education expenditure by improving the rate of student outflows.  The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco, through the Ministry of National Education, will be the main beneficiary.

The project should be carried out in two phases over eleven months, including two periods of two months. The first phase should concentrate on the following reviews and analyses in close collaboration with the parties concerned. The second phase should take five months, including two months for the review and finalization of reports. At the end of each of these phases, a workshop reuniting together representatives of the population, OPAs, NGOs in the area, other donors, government officials and consultations should be organized to discuss proposals contained in the provisional report.  The sectoral objective of the study is to strengthen the country’s food security. The aim of the study is to produce a feasibility report and detailed sketches for the irrigation of the Gnegnele and Sienkoro- Tanima Plains (land grading only), and for the rehabilitation of the Baguineda canal.  The beneficiaries of the study are the Malian Government and the authorities of Baguineda city.

Mali - Rural Development Project of the Daye, Hamadja and Korioumé Plains (PADR-PDHK). The Rural Development Project of the Daye, Hamadja and Korioumé Plains (PADR-PDHK) aims foremost to alleviate poverty through a reduction of the structural grain deficit of the region and through a decentralised and participatory rural development. It proposes a technical and organisational strengthening of the three irrigated blocks in the Tombouctou region with an area of 1,600 ha. The project does not plan heavy development works, it aims mainly to strengthen the technical reliability of the existing blocks and build the management cooperatives capacity in order that the objectives pursued (food security and poverty alleviation) could be integrated into a sustainable development process. It implementation of with the participation of the beneficiary population and particularly women, with the involvement and support of local decentralised structures, aims to perpetuate the management of the irrigated blocks by creating in future a Union of the three cooperatives, that is reliable and efficient. More globally, the project should permit to undertake a dynamic of development and self promotion of the rural area around the three plans. It comprises four main components, namely: A) irrigation developmen  B) institutional support  C) rural area development  and D) project management.  The rural development support project of the Daye, Hamadja and Korioumé plains aims generally at alleviating poverty of the population of the area and improving their welfare. More specifically the objective sought on completion of the project is an increase in agricultural production on the three irrigated schemes through strengthening of management and maintenance of the cooperatives in order to ensure sustainability of the activities introduced.  The main beneficiaries of the PADR-PDHK are the agro-pastoralists who hold the plots where the developments of the 3 perimeters (Daye, Hamadja and Korioumé) should be carried out. The population concerned by the project is estimated at 11,000 people including about 3,000 women. A staff of 1,000 should be directly affected by the literacy program. Women who represented about 51% of the population of the Tombouctou Circle should be among the first beneficiaries of the project through market gardening, small livestock farming, marketing, food processing and preservation and other income-generating activities (AGRs) and access to drinking water, health services and education.

Morocco - The National Education Emergency Support Programme. The National Education Emergency Programme was designed by the Moroccan Government with the support of its development partners, including the African Development Bank (ADB) Group. This four-year programme covers the 2009-2012 period and concerns the country’s entire education and training system. It supports the efforts of the Moroccan Government in skills development and poverty reduction under the National Human Development Initiative (NHDI), as well as the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) by 2015. In this light, the envisaged programme focuses on extending education and training opportunities, improving its internal and external performance, as well as better management of the human, financial and material resources made available to the supervisory Ministry. The main expected programme outcomes are: (i) reform of the education and training system so that it can meet development needs  (ii) compulsory school enrolment up to age 15, (iii) promotion of initiative and excellence in qualifying secondary and higher education  (iv) completion of decentralization, and (v) rational management of resources and introduction of a culture of results-based management. The Bank supports this programme with a budget support of two successive tranches of EUR 37 million and EUR 38 million in 2009 and 2010 respectively.  The Programme purpose is to accelerate the implementation of reform resulting from the National Education and Training Charter (CNEF) by consolidating gains and making the necessary readjustments. The specific objective of the Emergency Programme is to make education available to all and improve the quality of teaching and performance of the education system.  The direct beneficiaries are pupils and students, the teaching, administrative and service staff, as well as the central and decentralized structures of the Ministry for National Education, Higher Education, Management Training and Scientific Research. According to MENESFCRS projections, school enrolment which in 2007 stood at 6 024 721 pupils and students in primary and qualifying secondary and college education, and 272 518 students in higher education, will be nearly 2,046,330 pupils in primary education, 1 540 008 students in colleges in 2012, and 400 000 students in higher education in 2011. With regard to teachers, their total number in 2007 was 248 910 and that of administrative supervisory staff 37 560 in schools (primary, qualifying secondary and colleges).

Morocco - Training-Employment Matching Support Programme (PAAFE). The Training-Employment Matching Support Programme (PAAFE) is a sector-based budget support will be disbursed in two tranches over two years (2013 and 2014) for strengthening education and training in Morocco. This program covers the entire education and training system of the country. It is jointly financed by the ADB, the World Bank and the French Development Agency. Through three components, the programme will ensure: (i) better performance of technical education and vocational training to meet labour market needs  (ii) enhanced relevance and guidance of higher education  and (iii) strengthening of sector-based coordination and governance mechanisms. Therefore, PAAFE supports education and training structural reforms, and helps to close the funding gap in the Government programme to promote employment and skills development. The main challenge of this programme is to make the employability of young people a fundamental concern of the education system. PAAFE will also help to limit the negative impact of the fragmented management of the sector by establishing a coordination mechanism and improving sector-based governance.  PAAFE seeks to improve the employability of higher education (HE), technical education and vocational training (VT) graduates. To this end, PAAFE will contribute to: (i) increased private sector involvement in the education and training system  (ii) diversification and professionalization of educational curricula and training  (iii) improved equity  and (iv) strengthening sector-based coordination and governance.  The programme is primarily intended for the 879,269 qualifying secondary school students in 2013, of whom 48% girls, 510,000 higher education students (47% of whom girls) 370,000 vocational education trainees (43% girls), and executives. Over and above the processing of flows, the programme also aims to offer learning and retraining opportunities to 300,000 school dropouts and a sizeable portion of the 290,000 jobless young people without qualification in order to facilitate their integration. In addition to these goals, the programme will benefit formal and informal sector enterprises as well as the entire Moroccan population.

Mali - Second Line of Credit to BNDA (National Bank for Agricultural Development). The Second Line of Credit to BNDA (National Bank for Agricultural Development) aims to promote and modernize farms, with a view to making them more market-oriented, while encouraging the intensification of production techniques, mechanization and automation of agricultural equipment, as well as capacity building. This UA 15 million line of credit (LOC) is a continuation of the first LOC of UA 4.6 million granted in 1986 and whose performance was deemed generally satisfactory. From an institutional standpoint, the BNDA has since its inception in 1981 been the main funding institution of the rural sector in Mali. This second LOC, which must be handed over to the producers, should enable them, through farmers' organizations, to acquire the necessary means of production for the implementation of the campaign plans designed by the management structures. The second line of credit to BNDA has two main components: (i) Provision to BNDA of a line of credit of UA 13,969,000 intended to strengthen its cash flow position and support the implementation of its Medium-Term Programme (MTP) for 2001-2005, with special emphasis on the development of cotton and cereals  and (ii) Provision of institutional support amounting to UA 1,061,000 aimed at strengthening BNDA’s information system and establishing an environmental evaluation and monitoring mechanism.  The sector objective of the second line of credit to BNDA is to contribute to rural poverty reduction, with a view to bringing down the incidence of poverty from 63.8% in 2002 to 47.5% in 2006. Specifically, it seeks to increase production and to improve competiveness and modernization of holdings in the agricultural and livestock sectors through sub-project financing for the benefit of rural dwellers.  The main beneficiaries of the 2nd LDC at the BNDA are the private operators, the individual promoters (with particular attention to women and young people), the Village Associations (AV) and the decentralized financial systems (SFD) strengthened and remediated whose -projects and activities financed in the above subsectors eligible for loan resources.

Rural Primary Health Care Strengthening Project (PRSSB). The Rural Primary Health Care Strengthening Project (PRSSB) aims to support the Government’s priorities and national health development strategies, including primary health care. This project should help the rural poor, especially women and children, gain access to quality basic health care. It should permit: (a) construction and / or rehabilitation and equipment of hospitals, health centers and housing, (b) acquisition of vehicles, ambulances and motorcycles, and (c)  formation of health staff and that of the Equipment and Maintenance Department.

Mali - The Irrigation Development Program in Bani Basin and Selingue (PDI-BS)–Phase I. This program has been designed in response to Mali’s food crisis.  It is the first phase of the Irrigation Development Program in Bani Basin and Sélingué (PDI-BS). This program covers the development and enhancement of 32 545 ha of rice land including 24,540 ha in controlled submersion, 915 ha of double-cropped rice under full water control, 6 820 ha of bourgou fields for livestock farming, 554 ha of vegetable crops and 270 ha of fish ponds. The PDI-BS will consolidate actions undertaken under the Middle Bani Plains Development Program for the development and the Maninkoura Perimeter Development Project . Its implementation should also contribute to increase the level of mobilization of Bani’s water resources by creating of a reservoir of 300 million m3.  The objective of the Bani Basin and Sélingué Irrigation Development Program(PDI-BS) - Phase I aims to  contribute to food security and poverty reduction in Mali.  The program is expected to directly affect nearly 12,000 farms, or about 130,000 people, most of whom are women. In total, an additional annual production of 52,000 tonnes of paddy rice, 3,620 tonnes of vegetables, 588 tonnes of beef, 6 million liters of milk and 880 tonnes is expected at the end of the first phase.

Morocco - Medical Coverage Reform Support Programme (PARCOUM-I). The medical coverage reform support programme (PARCOUM) is one of the instruments that the Government has proposed for implementing the several reforms, which should help improve the state of health of the Moroccan population. It's part of the national health development plan for the 2000 – 2004 period. The PARCOUM deals specifically with the reform of the sector’s financing by providing medical coverage for nearly 85% of the population, including the low-income group. In this process, the programme takes into account other reforms without which health insurance cannot function as it should, especially those relating to the organisation of health care delivery, governance of the sector and development of human resources. The programme comprises four components, namely: a) improvement of access to finance  b) improvement of the quality of health care and rationalisation of its delivery  c) improvement of sector governance  d) upgrading and mobilisation of human resources.  The medical coverage reform support programme (PARCOUM) aims at improving the state of health of the Moroccan population by increasing access to quality health care.  The program should benefit the entire Moroccan population.

Morocco - The Medical Coverage Reform Support Programme Phase II (PARCOUM II). The Medical Coverage Reform Support Programme (PARCOUM) was designed by the Moroccan Government with the support of its development partners, including the African Development Bank (ADB) Group. The first phase of the programme, covering the 2002-2006 period, helped to strengthen the Basic Medical Coverage (BMC) of the working population of the formal sector. The second phase of the Medical Coverage Support Programme (PARCOUM II) which will be implemented over a two-year period (2009-2010), seeks particularly to consolidate the achievements of PARCOUM I and is in keeping with the Government’s vision, and will contribute to the achievement of its strategic objectives. PARCOUM II is a more ambitious and more exhaustive consolidation of the first phase of the programme. Thus, the reforms previously initiated have to be completed and extended. The programme will support poverty reduction efforts made by the Government under the National Human Development Initiative (INDH). The efforts are aimed at enabling Morocco to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. The programme will therefore lay emphasis on equitable access to quality health care through medical coverage for poor populations. At the institutional level, PARCOUM II will help to support central and decentralized structures responsible for steering, implementing and monitoring-evaluating the BMC reform, notably the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of the Interior, health care facilities and specialized agencies such as the National Health Insurance Agency (ANAM). PARCOUM II is focused on three components summarized as follows: (i) Extension of BMC including Medical Assistance Scheme for the Economically Underprivileged (RAMED)  (ii) Improvement of the provision of health care  (iii) Improvement of the governance of the health sector.  The goal of the programme is to contribute to the improvement of the health status of the population. More specifically, the objective of PARCOUM II is to contribute to the sustainable improvement of conditions of access to quality health services thanks to the extension of basic medical coverage (BMC) to the entire population, in particular the economically disadvantaged populations.  The main beneficiaries of the programme are the underprivileged populations of Morocco (currently estimated at 8.5 million). The programme will also benefit the central institutions concerned (Ministries of the Economy and Finance, Health and the Interior) as well as hospitals and specialized structures such as ANAM, CNSS and CNOPS which are responsible for the management, implementation and monitoring-evaluation of the programme measures. The said structures will be strengthened in terms of regulation and managerial and implementation capacities.

Morocco - Medical Coverage Reform Support Programme – Phase 3. The Medical Coverage Reform Support Programme Phase III (PARCOUM III) is the Bank’s third sector budget support programme to Morocco’s Ministry of Health. The programme was designed by the Government of Morocco with the support of the European Union as a UA 100 million sector budget support loan, disbursable in two tranches. It aims at reducing health spending and improving social protection and medical coverage for Moroccan citizens. To that end, the programme focuses on: (i) the steering and financing of reform  (ii) the extension of medical coverage  and (iii) regulations and delivery of health care. It will help to establish mechanisms needed to pilot and finance the reform, enhance social protection coverage for the population, and contribute to providing appropriate and quality services.  The programme seeks to support the Kingdom of Morocco’s efforts to promote universal social protection coverage. It aims to improve social protection and medical coverage for Moroccans, particularly the most vulnerable people, by extending basic medical coverage and access to quality health services.  The entire Moroccan population will benefit from the programme. Indeed, PARCOUM III seeks to support the extension of social health coverage to the entire population, with priority given to the extension of coverage for the most vulnerable segments through RAMED (28% of the population) and the establishment of a scheme for self-employed workers (about 32% of the population). The latter will help to cover informal sector workers (85% of self-employed workers), a large majority of whom are women who have attained the limit of eligibility for RAMED. Furthermore, due to its regulation and health care delivery support, this programme will be beneficial to all health service users, particularly in the public sector and disadvantaged regions. Lastly, the programme will benefit all institutions, which will receive technical support (steering committee, technical committee, MS, etc.).

Morocco - Economic and Social Reform Program (PRES). The Economic and Social Reform Program (PRES) is about putting in place the conditions for strong and balanced economic growth in Morocco. The PRES is structured around the four components: (i) establishment of a viable medium-term macroeconomic framework, (ii) public sector reform, (iii) private sector development, and (iv) poverty reduction and human resource development. The program is financed by the ADB in the amount of 348.735 million Dirhams Moroccan, about 149 MUC and the World Bank (BM) up to 250 MUSD.  The goal of the PRES is to create the conditions for strong economic growth, generating jobs and to gradually reduce the accumulated social deficits in recent years, while respecting the requirements of achieving internal and external financial balances.  The program will benefit directly to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

Mali - Project for Food Security Consolidation Through Development of Irrigation Farming. The Project for Food Security Consolidation Through Development of Irrigation Farming (PRESA/DCI) was identified in March 2013 as one of the tools for implementing Mali's sustainable recovery plan (PRED) for 2013-2014. The PRESA-DCI is part of a continuity approach to the PDI-BS project, and also reinforces and capitalizes on the lessons of other past interventions, particularly in the field of irrigation management and valorisation of irrigated perimeters. This project will rehabilitate 4,926 ha of irrigation area in Koulikoro, Sikasso and Ségou regions, thereby improving food and nutritional security as well as the incomes of the beneficiary population. The PRESA-DCI, with emphasis on irrigation with total water control and the development of value chains of the carrier sectors, will allow an economically profitable and sustainable development of developed perimeters. Its duration is six (6) years at a total estimated cost of 39.301 MUC (29.64 billion FCFA), financed by the ADF, the Government and the beneficiaries. The implementation of the project will be largely decentralized at the level of the three development offices of Sikasso, Ségou and Koulikoro and will revolve around three main components: (i) Rehabilitation of infrastructure, (ii) Development of value chains, and (iii) Project management.  The sectoral objective of the project is to contribute to food and nutrition security in Mali. The overall objective is to contribute ultimately to alleviating poverty by boosting agricultural production and strengthening food security in the particularly vulnerable regions of Segou, Sikasso and Koulikoro. The specific objective of the project is to increase agricultural production on a sustainable basis by controlling irrigation and rationalization of land development through the promotion of value chains and small economic interest groups.  The project will directly target about 5,700 farms and benefit a total of about 85,695 farmers. It will intensify and diversify agricultural production, create jobs particularly for youths in the localities concerned, and develop all the value chains of growth-oriented sub-sectors. The project will intensify and diversify agricultural production, create jobs especially for young people in the localities concerned and will develop all the value chains of the promising sectors. Youths and women will benefit most from the created jobs, considering that service businesses will be created in farm equipment, small ruminants and fish farming, and that the processing of agricultural produce will be promoted.

Public Administration Reform Support Programme - Phase I. The Public Administration Reform Support Programme - Phase I  (PARAP I) is a programme within the general framework of the revamping of the Moroccan economy. This program is initiated because of the problems sapping the efficiency and quality of public services and the impact of the rising wage bill on medium-term macro-economic stability. The PARAP I is the first operation of the overall implementation of the administrative reform support programme (PARAP) which comprises four others. It aims to encourage high economic growth and sustainable development to strengthen the competitiveness of the economy by ensuring medium-term macroeconomic viability. The PARP I is structured on four (4) components, namely: a) Strengthening Public Finance Management  (b) Strengthening Human Resource Management Efficiency  (c) Controlling the Wage Bill in the Public Service and (d) Simplifying Administrative Procedures and Formalities.  The sectoral objective of the program is to contribute to improving the competitiveness of the economy while ensuring medium-term macroeconomic viability. The programme focuses on the following four objectives: a) improving the budget management efficiency of the administration  b) improving the human resource management efficiency of the administration  c) controlling the progression of the wage bill in the public service  and d) simplifying and rationalizing administrative formalities and procedures.  The final beneficiary of the programme is the entire Moroccan population that should benefit from improved standard of living resulting from employment- and income-generating sustainable economic growth. The intermediate beneficiaries are Government services, households and private economic operators.

Morocco - Public Administration Reform Support Programme - Phase II (PARSP II). This operation is the second Phase of the Public Administration Support Programme (PARSP II) which falls under the category of the structural adjustment of the Moroccan economy.  It sets out to consolidate the achievements of the PARSP I, in a manner as to enable the reform to attain a new level in accordance with the gradual approach adopted by the Government, notably improving the effectiveness of the public administration. The first Public Administration Reform Support Programme (PARSP I) of the series was launched in 2003. In view of the strategic role of the public administration in the economic and social development of Morocco, the improvement of both its effectiveness and efficiency in the management of public resources and public governance, will necessarily have a notable impact on the consolidation and competitiveness of the Moroccan economy and the improvement of the business climate. The programme focuses on the following components: i) improving public financial management  ii) improving the efficiency of human resource management  and iii) containing the civil service wage bill. The amount of PARSP-II amounts to 85 million Euros.  The objectives pursued by PARL II are as follows: (a) improve the efficiency of the State in the management of budgetary resources by improving transparency and accountability and by introducing a system of measuring results  (b) improve the efficiency of human resources management by introducing a new job and compensation management system that introduces performance evaluation and streamlines human resources management  and (c) control the evolution of the wage bill.  This operation will benefit mainly all the ministerial departments and all the national public administrations. Officials, the Moroccan population, the unemployed and the poor in particular, the private sector will also benefit from the project's spin-offs.

Morocco - The Public Administration Reform Support Programme – Phase III (PARSP III). This project is the third phase of the Public Administration Reform Support Programme (PARSP III), which was launched in 2003. The current phase, covers the 2008-2009 period, aims to consolidate the achievements of PARSP I & II, whose implementation was generally deemed to be satisfactory by the three international financial institutions supporting it. Under the present cycle of implementation, the public administration reform support programme will improve in consistency following the extension to other Ministries of tools such as flexible budgeting, sectoral MTEFs, the RECs, deconcentration plans, as well as the civil service redeployment exercise. The project aims to continue and strengthen Bank support for the Government’s efforts to implement and pursue the Programme measures. It will help to finance the budget deficit for the year 2008. The PARSP-III focuses on four aspects and takes into account progress made and lessons learned from PARSP-I & II. First, extension of programme reforms. This involves advancing from the pilot phase to implementing the reforms in the whole administration. Second, consolidate results achieved under PARSP I & II, notably strengthening of institutional capacities and reinforcing the areas of competence of structures and responsibilities. Third, catching up with delays in implementing some programme components, notably in the areas of human resource management. Fourth, the need for an active policy for disseminating the achievements of the reform, which should contribute to its acceptance by the public. The effective implementation of all the measures envisaged under PARSP-III should help to improve the competitiveness of the Moroccan economy, strengthen budget sustainability in the medium term, and thus maintain the viability of the macroeconomic framework needed to achieve stronger and more sustainable economic growth.  The objective of the PARSP-III is to consolidate, deepen, strengthen, and extend to the rest of the administration, gains achieved under the previous phases of the PARSP. The PARSP III aims to achieve the following four objectives: (i) strengthen public finance management  (ii) improve efficiency in human resources management  (iii) control the civil service wage bill  and (iv) streamline procedures and introduce egovernment.  The project beneficiaries are Government and Moroccan public administrations.

Mali - Project to support the seed sub-sector. The Project to support the seed sub-sector is well within the framework of the revitalized National Seed Plan (PSN) and the new policies aimed at ensuring State divestiture from production and marketing in favour of private sector producers and operators and cooperative structures. Indeed, revitalization of the seed sub-sector today appears to be vital to the Government’s policy in its quest for greater food security and in its struggle to reduce poverty. The project aims at improving the socio-economic and food situation of rural areas by increasing the production of cereals (millet, sorghum, maize, rice, wheat, fonio), vegetable crops (cowpea, groundnut) and other major crops (market gardening, fodder crops, fruit farming, etc), through the regular and constant supply of selected and certified seeds to users. The project should finance the decentralization of mango and citrus fruit tree nurseries so as to promote further extension of the species.  In the suitable areas, some individuals could be granted credit to produce the species in nurseries and sell them. The main components of the project are as follows: (a) support for certified seed production  (b) institutional support  (c) attendant measures  and (d) project management.  The sectoral objective of the project is to reduce poverty while contributing to the country’s food self-sufficiency and security. The project objective is to increase the production and use of certified seeds.  The main beneficiaries of the project are, first and foremost, the 7,300 seed farmers directly involved in seed production, and then nearly 2,500 women in the women's and mixed seed groups (dry farming, rice and market gardening). The structures of the Ministry of Agriculture in charge of the seed sector which are beneficiaries of the project should have their material and human resources strengthened to enable them to play their full role.

Morocco - Public Administration Reform Support Programme - Phase IV (PARAP IV). The  Public Administration Reform Support Programme – Phase IV (PARSP IV) falls under the category of the structural adjustment of the Moroccan economy. After Phase 3 which was successfully completed, Phase 4 which is PARSP IV should essentially help to complete the various reform segments and thus deepen the modernization of Moroccan public administration. The PARSP IV should contribute to the institutional development of the public administration and private sector.It's in keeping with the strategic orientations of the Government’s Programme which supports the enhancement of governance and the business environment. The PARSP IV comprises four main components: (A) improve Government efficiency in budget resource management  (B) improve Government efficiency in human resource management  (C) consolidate and control civil service wage bill  and (D) streamline administrative procedures and develop e-Government.  The goal of PARSP IV is to promote strong economic growth and sustainable development, thus strengthening the competitiveness of the economy while ensuring mediumterm macro-economic viability. Its specific objectives are to improve Government efficiency in budget and human resource management, consolidate and control the civil service wage bill and streamline administrative procedures by developing electronic Government.  The final beneficiary of the programme is the entire Moroccan population that should benefit from improved standard of living resulting from employment- and income-generating sustainable economic growth. The intermediate beneficiaries are Government services, households and private economic operators.

Niger - COVID-19 Support Programme in G5 Sahel Countries - Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad (PARC COVID-19 - G5 Sahel). The proposed intervention concerns the Niger component of the COVID-19 Crisis Response Programme in the G5 Sahel Countries (PARC COVID-19 – G5 SAHEL). This is a loan and award a grant to the G5 Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad) of UA 118.9 million and UA 89.6 million respectively from the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility. It will be implemented over 12 months from July 2020. The Programme was appraised in April 2020 following requests to the Bank by the countries. Niger recorded its first case of COVID-19 on 19 March 2020. As of 5 June 2020, the country had 1461 cases, the number of which has been rising steadily in the last few days. To curb the spread of the COVID19 pandemic, the country has taken several preventive and protective measures, including: (i) a nationwide ban on gatherings  (ii) the closure of all land borders, except for the transportation of goods  (iii) the suspension of public land transport  and (iv) the imposition of a curfew in Niamey. These measures have led to a drastic contraction of supply and demand, resulting in a sudden downturn in Niger’s economy. This Programme complements the other budget support operations, particularly the Multinational Coronavirus Pandemic Control Support Project for G5 member countries approved on 9 June 2020, aimed at providing the region with adequate operational capacities to combat the pandemic. More specifically, the programme will contribute to the financing of response plans through the budget support it will provide. It will also support measures aimed at improving the financial management of the response plans and mitigating the health, social and economic-related impacts.  The overall objective of this programme is to contribute to mitigating the health, social and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Niger. Its specific objectives are to: (i) build the capacity of the health system to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic  (ii) mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable people  and (iii) mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The entire population of Niger will benefit from this programme which will help to mitigate the health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population, especially the most vulnerable segments, including women. It will also contribute to reducing the economic shock on local enterprises (including SMEs run by women) affected by the sharp economic downturn resulting from the pandemic. The programme will also make it possible to build the capacity of Niger’s public administration in health response, protection of the most vulnerable segments of the population and support to economic activities. All these elements will contribute to strengthening the resilience of Niger’s economy and reducing the country’s fragility factors.

Niger - Kandadji Ecosystems Regeneration and Niger Valley Development Programme Support Project (PA_KRESMIN). The Kandadji Programme Support Project is in keeping with the 2017-2021 Economic and Social Development Plan (ESDP) of Niger. The Kandadji Programme is a key component in regulating the waters of the Niger River and is one of the priorities of the Sustainable Development Action Plan (SDAP) for the Niger Basin. The program’s objective is to regenerate the river ecosystems and increase agricultural and energy production through the construction of a regulatory dam on the Niger River. The project will focus on implementation of the civil works on the dam and its ancillary structures, implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan in Phase A, implementation of the updated ESMP as well as project management and coordination. It will be implemented over a six-year period (2019-2025). The project will incorporate gender and youth employment in a crosscutting manner in all its components.  The project objective is to contribute to poverty reduction and the regeneration of river ecosystems. The specific objectives of this key, multi-sector and multipurpose project are to: (i) regulate the low-water period flow rate to ensure ecosystem regeneration and water security  (ii) sustainably increase agricultural and animal production through irrigation control and the rationalisation of natural resource development  and (iii) increase the electricity access rate for people living in rural, peri-urban and urban areas, in several towns and localities in Niger.  The direct project area covers the Tillabéry region where the dam site is located, Niamey Urban Community and Dosso Region. It has an estimated population of 3 million, 1.53 million of whom are women.

Nigeria - Inclusive Basic Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Programme (IBSDLEIP) – Additional Financing. The proposed operation involves an additional loan of UA 3.99 million to finance the activities of the Nigeria Inclusive Basic Service Delivery and Livelihood Empowerment Integrated Programme (IBSDLEIP). The programme seeks to curb fragility aggravated by the Boko Haram insurgency. This Program is part of ongoing Federal Government efforts toward North East States Emergency Transition, Recovery and Peacebuilding, elaborated by the five-year programmatic “Buhari Plan” of 2016. The Buhari Plan, is a Strategic and Peace Building programme to reverse the devastating conditions created by the seven-year destruction of the Boko Haram insurgency. This additional loan reinforces program components at the Federal Level and will contribute to addressing gaps in government’s financial commitment to operationalizing the Plan. This complement of financial resources is specific to bringing improvement to the school infrastructure and improve the quality of services in science and technical education. Indeed, it will finance the completion of educational and hostel buildings, provide a water and sanitation system, along with providing capacity building and a Business Development Centre (BDC) and other additional facilities at the Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC), in Lassa, Borno State. The additional activities to be funded will be undertaken within the original IBSDLEIP timeframe  and will provide a conducive learning and teaching environment to ensure the reinstatement of the pre-closure capacity of the FSTC, which at the time of closure had a total of 950 students and 80 technical subject tutors, and increase its capacity. This will assist the Government to improve access to quality Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) especially in North East Nigeria and contribute towards poverty reduction, and rebuilding of North East Nigeria.  The development goal of the proposed Bank Programme is to contribute to reduced poverty and vulnerability in Nigeria in the context of the Northeast emergency transition, recovery and peacebuilding framework. The specific objective is to improve the quality of life by increasing access of the poor and vulnerable to basic social services in water, sanitation, hygiene, health and education  livelihood opportunities  food security and strengthened safety net systems in affected states in the Northeast. The Program will give particular attention to the youth, women and IDPs. Psychosocial support, peace-building, environment, climate change and gender equality interventions are mainstreamed in all components of the Program.  The target population to benefit directly from the Program will be mainly the most vulnerable segment of the population including youth and women with emphasis on rural poor in LGAs affected by the insurgency and IDPs reintegrating into communities. The Program will help address the needs of an estimated 14 million affected people, including over 2.3 million Internally Displaced Persons (of which 53 percent are women, and 57 percent are children). Over 9,000 IDPs and head of vulnerable households will receive direct assistance for their economic reintegration and livelihoods  2032 SSMEs (79% women) will be reached to develop and enhance their businesses  2,900 construction artisans and mechanics working in the informal sector will be supported to enhance quality and productivity and 2,000 unskilled youth will be trained in economic skills for employment and job creation.

Niger - Support to reforms and Economic Resilience Programme - Phase 2. This intervention is the second phase of the Reform and Economic Resilience Support Program (PARRE II) in Niger. PARRE is a programmatic series of three consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019. The first phase of the program (PARRE-1) has supported flagship measures in public finance and also in the context of strengthening the economic and social resilience of the country. The program thus contributes to meeting the major challenges and constraints that Niger continues to face in order to achieve sustainable and balanced socio-economic development. The challenges identified during the first phase of the program being still relevant, the second phase, will contribute to the achievement of the following results: (i) greater mobilization of tax revenues  (ii) improved transparency and efficiency of the procurement system  (iii) improvement of the business environment and the development of agricultural and mineral value chains, through better access to electricity, water and finance for small and medium-sized enterprises  (iv) greater empowerment of women to significantly reduce gender inequalities and the incidence of poverty. PARRE-2 keeps the same components of the program, namely: (i) Improved management of public finances and the business environment  and (ii) Improving the competitiveness of the economy and agricultural and nutritional resilience.  The Reform and Economic Resilience Support Program aims to improve public financial management and consolidate inclusive and sustainable growth. More specifically, the second phase of the program will contribute to: (i) the mobilization of tax revenues  (ii) greater transparency and efficiency of the procurement system  (iii) improving access to electricity and water in order to increase the competitiveness of the economy  (iv) improving the business environment and empowering women.  The program will benefit the entire population of Niger, mostly young people. Thus, the direct beneficiaries of the program are the populations practicing in the agricultural field, particularly women, as well as pastoralists, thanks to the measures that will be carried out in the fields of livestock farming, pastoral hydraulics and irrigated systems. Nigerian companies are also beneficiaries of the program, through improved access to finance and other production factors.

Nigeria - African Trade Insurance (ATI) - Country Membership Programme. The African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) Country Membership Programme is designed because of the FRN lacks the necessary capacity and financial resources to effectively navigate the numerous issues impacting on successful implementation of trade finance and underwriting of investment risks. It aims to strengthen the capacity of FRN with the necessary financial resources for membership subscription in the ATI. This will enable the country to mobilise significant foreign direct investment (FDI) while offering greater underwritten insurance cover for both the sovereign and the private sector in support of the country’s economic recovery efforts. The expected outputs of the programme are: (i) African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) will sign a participation agreement with FRN, to enable ATI to start operations in the country. This will allow  (ii) FRN to finalize its membership subscription process through the consummation of all relevant shareholding formalities  and finally (iii) FRN will become a member country in which the ATI is able to conduct business.  The main objective of the proposed intervention is to support Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) with the required resources for membership subscription to the ATI.  The immediate direct project beneficiary is the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN). Indirect beneficiaries in Nigeria will include the private sector, with a focus on small-and medium sized enterprise (SMEs), particularly female run businesses.

Niger - Economic Competitiveness and Financial Management Support Project (PACEGEF). The Economic Competitiveness and Financial Management Support Project (PACEGEF) is an institutional support operation that falls within the implementation of the Bank's Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Niger covering the 2018-2022 period. It therefore complements the Bank's support for implementation of economic and financial reforms under the Support Programme for Reforms and Economic Resilience (PARRE). PACEGEF is divided into three components, namely: (i) Support for improvement of financial management, planning and transparency in public policies  (ii) Support for governance of productive sectors and private sector development  and (iii) Project management. The project will have a positive impact on the macro-economic framework by increasing budget revenue collection from 14.9% in 2018 to 17% in 2023 and improving the quality of public expenditure with a decline in contracts awarded by direct negotiation from 46.03% in 2018 to less than 15% in 2023. The project will also contribute to improving the business environment and increasing the value added of manufactured products in GDP from 5.7% in 2015 to more than 7% in 2023.  The overall goal of the project is to improve Niger's economic competitiveness by strengthening the macroeconomic framework, improving governance in productive sectors (industry, mining and petroleum) and promoting the private sector. The project’s specific objectives are to: (i) improve tax revenue collection  (ii) improve strategic planning and public financial management  (iii) improve the business environment and the industrial sector’s contribution to GDP  and (iv) reduce gender inequality by enhancing women’s economic empowerment.  The main project beneficiaries are: (i) Niger as a whole, which will see its financial resources increased, its budgetary management and planning structures enhanced, and its institutional capacities strengthened  (ii) the central and decentralized structures responsible for collecting public revenue, which will be able to raise additional domestic revenue and direct it towards the social sectors  and (iii) Niger’s entire population, which is the ultimate beneficiary of enhanced efficiency in the extractive sectors and its multiplier effect on the other sectors, as well as increased public procurement resulting from local currency expenditure under the project. In addition, import/export companies will benefit from trade facilitation through modernised and more efficient customs services.

Nigeria - Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project Phase 1. The Nigeria Transmission Expansion Project – phase 1 (NTEP 1) is part of the national Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme (TREP). This programme aims to support the rehabilitation and upgrade of Nigeria’s electricity transmission substations and lines, to increase power transmission network and allow distribution companies to improve supply to consumers. NTEP 1 is composed of brownfield and greenfield projects, and aims at strengthening and improving the grid wheeling capacity where the transmission lines are the most constrained. It involves (i) the reconstruction of two (2) 330kV double circuit quad transmission lines, 138km Alaoji–Onitsha and 125km Delta–Benin  (ii) the construction of one (1) 330kV double circuit quad transmission line, 204km Kaduna–Kano  (iii) the construction of two (2) 330/132kV, 2 x 150MVA Sub stations at Zaria and Millennium City  (iv) The construction of two (2) 132/33kV, 2x 60MVA Sub stations at Rigasa and Jaji respectively. The three (03) components included in NTEP 1 are: (1) strengthening and improvement of the electricity transmission system, (2) impact mitigation and compensation, and (3) capacity building and technical assistance.  The purpose of the project is to increase the wheeling capacity of the grid to avail of the stranded generation capacity and improve reliability of the gird and power to consumers.  The Bank will provide a loan of USD 210 million, along with an AGTF loan of USD 50 million to the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), which will be on-lent to TCN who is the direct beneficiary. The project will increase TCN’s capacity to wheel power from generation to the distribution companies. The project will have a direct impact on Nigeria’s economy, its businesses and population by significantly improving the quality of supply of electricity, therefore reducing the use of alternative solutions, such as small-scale diesel generators, to meet energy needs.

Nigeria - Family Homes Funds Project. The Project is an ADB sovereign loan of USD 60 million to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The funding will be on-lent under a subsidiary loan agreement to the Family Homes Funds (FHF), that will be the Executing Agency for the Project. The Bank’s intervention aims to catalyse provision of long-term local currency mortgage financing by Primary Mortgage Lenders (PMLs) for affordable housing  as well as deepen the housing finance system. It will enhance access to decent housing, private sector development and promote job creation in Nigeria. Indeed, the developmental challenge of access to long-term mortgage financing especially for the lower middle to middle income segment remains significant in Nigeria. The Project builds on and complements related activities of development partners aimed at deepening of the housing finance market and improving access to long term funding in Nigeria. The proposed activities under this Project build on the demand side and complement the FGN ongoing efforts to build a robust housing finance ecosystem. Through this intervention, the Bank seeks to support the FGN’s efforts to operationalize a market-oriented mortgage risk sharing arrangement under the ‘Help to Own’ mortgage financing product of the FHF, the Executing Agency. The implementation period shall be 5 years from the signature date of the Loan Agreement.  The objective of the Project is to (i) stimulate provision of long-term local currency mortgage financing by PMLs  and (ii) deepen the housing finance system and strengthen linkages between housing finance and capital markets. The Project, through technical assistance grant funding from YEI Multi-Donor Trust Fund, will support a skills acquisition and apprenticeships training for youth artisans to promote their gainful employment in the housing value chain.  The direct beneficiaries are Primary Mortgage Lenders (PMLs) that are mainly regulated mortgage lending banks and mortgage finance institutions, and eligible mortgage borrowers. Indirectly, the Project will benefit firms, households and other financial system stakeholders through improved availability and affordability of housing finance, and enhanced linkage with local debt capital markets particularly as regards volume, extended tenor, cost of financing and overall mortgage affordability. The Project will benefit private sector businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises in the housing and related value chains through its contribution to enhanced economic activity in the sector.

Niger - Support to Reforms and Economic Resilience Programme. Support to Reforms and Economic Resilience Programme (PARRE) is the continuation and consolidation of the reforms backed by the Bank over the last three years through the Financial Reforms and Food Security Support Programme (PAREFSA) in Niger. PAREFSA supported major public finance management reforms, particularly the adaptation of WAEMU Guidelines on public finance management, the validation of new bidding documents (BDs) as part of the reform of the public procurement system and the conduct of public procurement audits for the 2013 and 2014 financial years. All these measures have helped to achieve growth levels above the sub-regional average, driven by increased agricultural production. However, the country remains fragile and heavily dependent on vagaries of the weather. Therefore, the present programme will address the major challenges and constraints that cause fragility in Niger and undermine efforts to curb the vulnerability of its economy to external shocks and alleviate poverty. PARRE will take the form of a programme-based support operation (PBO) covering the 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial years. It is financed by three general budget support (GBS) operations, that is UA 30 million in 2017 and indicative amounts of UA 20 million and UA 15 million in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Programme-based support will help to provide predictable financing to the Government of the Republic of Niger (GoN), while facilitating dialogue on medium-term economic and financial reforms. The programme comprises two complementary components, namely: (i) Improve Public Finance Management and the Business Environment  and (ii) Enhance Economic Competitiveness and Resilience to Food and Nutrition Insecurity.  PARRE’s main objective is to contribute to accelerating economic growth by placing special emphasis on building resilience through job creation and environmental protection. Specifically, the programme will contribute to: (i) improving the mobilization of tax revenue to create the fiscal space needed to finance the priority activities of the new Economic and Social Development Plan (PDES 2017-2021)  (ii) enhancing the transparency and efficiency of the procurement system to improve the quality of public spending  (iii) increasing access to electricity and water in order to develop agricultural and mining value chains  (iv) improving agro-pastoral productivity to build the country’s structural resilience to food and nutrition insecurity  and (v) enhancing the empowerment of women to significantly reduce gender inequities and the incidence of poverty.  The programme will benefit the entire population of Niger made up mostly of youths. Thus, the direct programme beneficiaries will be the population involved in the agricultural sector, especially women and stockbreeders, thanks to the measures that will be implemented in the areas of stockbreeding, livestock water supply and irrigation systems. Niger’s businesses will also benefit from the programme through improved access to financing and other factors of production.

Niger - Financial Reforms and Food Security Support Programme – Phase II. The Financial Reforms and Food Security Support Programme (PAREFSA) is a programmatic series of two consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering fiscal years 2015 and 2016. This multi-year framework provides predictable funding and creates a medium-term platform for dialogue on key reforms. The programme responds to the major challenges and constraints that Niger continues to face in addressing the vulnerability of its economy to external shocks with a view to sustainable and balanced socio-economic development. The present operation (PAREFSA II) constitutes the second phase of this support. The components of PAREFSA II remain the same as those defined in the evaluation report of the initial programme, namely : (1) Strengthening of budgetary management and (2) Strengthening resilience to food crises. The programme will support the Government of Niger (GoN) in its efforts to deepen and consolidate the reforms introduced under PAREFSA I. The main expected results of the programme are as follows (i) a tax burden rate of at least 17.2%  (ii) a budget execution rate of at least 85% in 2016 against an average of 72% over the period 2011-2014  (iii) the establishment and operationalization of the National Observatory for the Promotion of Gender  (iv) the restoration of 1,200 ha of degraded pastoral rangelands   (v) the increase in the livestock sub-sector's contribution to GDP by 12%  (vi) the adoption of the national agricultural policy.  The main objective of PAREFSA is to contribute to creating conditions conducive to inclusive economic growth in a context of strengthened food security. In other words, it is to contribute to the promotion of strong and inclusive growth with a view to reducing poverty and strengthening the resilience of the economy to food crises.  The programme will benefit the entire population of Niger. The main activity of over 70% of the labour force is farming, stockbreeding, forest exploitation and/or fishing. Thus, the direct programme beneficiaries are: (i) stock breeders and agro-pastoralists in terms of reforms in the areas of stockbreeding and livestock water supply  (ii) farmers using the irrigation systems in terms of reforms related to the operationalization of SPIN  and (iii) the rural women and youths in terms of reforms related to gender mainstreaming in rural sector policies and strategies. Environment- and sustainable development-related reforms will benefit the entire population of Niger in terms of comfortable living environments and natural resources protection.

Nigeria - Economic Governance, Diversification and Competitiveness Support Program. Economic Governance, Diversification and Competitiveness Support Program (EGDCSP) was designed in a context where Nigeria is facing a severe economic crisis marked by deteriorating public finances and the current account, due to the fall in oil prices. The operation aims to assist Nigeria in the implementation of its economic and social transformation agenda by supporting reforms in the following areas: (i) Public Finance Management (PFM) to strengthen revenue collection, improve efficiency, transparency and accountability in the use of public resources  (ii) sustainable energy supply through improved sector governance and greater private sector participation  (iii) the modernization of agriculture by strengthening the political and institutional framework  and (iv) social inclusion by improving the policy and institutional framework for the protection and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable groups. The cost of the Program is estimated at USD 1 billion and is expected to be implemented over the 2016-2017 period. The various reforms to be undertaken under the proposed Program revolve around three complementary components, namely: (i) strengthening the management of public expenditure  (ii) promoting economic competitiveness and diversification, through reforms targeting the energy sector and the transformation of agriculture  and (iii) promoting social inclusion.  The objective of the program is to promote inclusive, diversified and resilient growth, through fiscal sustainability, the transformation of agriculture and improved access to energy, and social inclusion.  EGDCSP will directly benefit the Ministry of Finance as well as ministries and public entities in charge of the energy, agriculture and social sectors. Nigerian populations will be the ultimate beneficiaries of tax reforms, as the fiscal space provided by budget support will strengthen the financing of pro-poor priorities and service delivery. The private sector will also benefit from the benefits of a more reliable and affordable energy supply, as well as from the transparent and efficient system of public financial management, particularly with respect to procurement practices.

Niger - Feasibility study for the kandadji dam. The proposed study is among the Government’s priorities and in line with the Bank’s strategy for Niger. The Kandadji dam designed for essential uses meets the request of poor people inclined to move towards the lower reaches of the Niger, the towns and the neighbouring countries. This study falls within the scope of the Master Plan for the development and management of water resources being implemented by the Ministry of Water Supply and Environment for the protection and better utilization of water resources and for sustainable development. It will establish the technical environmental and socio-economic feasibility of the Kandadji dam and reformulate recommendations concerning the institutional and technical framework for the monitoring of the study and the rational management of the dam: The study will consider the positive and adverse impacts of the project up and down the site and propose corrective measures. It will make the budget appraisal of the investigations and services needed for the technical study of the detailed sketches. The study will be conducted in two phases:  (i) diagnosis and determination of the dam’s features  (ii) the feasibility study. It will be conducted over a total period of fourteen (14) months, including two periods of 2 months for the consideration and completion of the reports.  The study has a sectoral objective aimed at attaining food security and the regeneration of the natural environment. It will examine the technical economic and financial feasibility of a low dam project at Kandadji. The dam is mainly intended to reduce the environmental degradation caused by the repeated low water levels that are unusually deficient, by means of appropriate water level support flows.  The construction of a modest-sized dam at Kandadji will contribute to the country’s food security, improve incomes and the living conditions of the population through increased plant and animal production, job creation, curbing rural depopulation, and reducing the harmful effects of the repeated low water levels and endemic drought. Through the construction of the dam, more water will become available and this will strongly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty alleviation in the country.

Niger - Diffa Region Local Development Support Project (PADL - DIFFA). The Diffa Region Local Development Support Project (PADL - DIFFA) is designed to preserve and better organize the agricultural and pastoral activities of the Diffa region. It addresses problems of desertification and proposes to contribute to a more rational management of natural resources that can provide protection to productive areas. The project should help increase the incomes of over 5,000 farms, that is an estimated 31,000 persons and thereby improve the living conditions of the rural communities in this region, through intensified production of the major food and cash crops. The PADL-DIFFA should also reach women in a privileged way and develop the capacities of local communities, which guarantees a decentralized and sustainable rural development that can reduce the poverty index in the region. The total cost of the project, excluding taxes and customs, is estimated at CFAF 13,754 million, or UA 16.86 million. Its main components are: (A) agro-pastoral development works  (B) participatory planning and capacity building  as well as (C) project management.  The sectoral goal of the project is to contribute to food security and reduce poverty in Niger. The specific objective of the project is to improve the conditions of livestock production and increase agricultural output in the Diffa Region on a sustainable basis.  The project should affect, through its various activities, all the layers and zones of the region. It's estimated that the project directly affect 5,000 agro-pastoral farms representing a total population of about 31,000 people, 55% of whom are women. The beneficiaries of non-agricultural activities are estimated at 51,000 people. In total, the project should reach approximately 82,000 people directly, about 25% of the population of the region.

Nigeria - Plateau State Potato Value Chain Support Project (PS-PVCP). The Plateau State Potato Value Chain Support Project (PS-PVCSP) involves construction and rehabilitation of critical infrastructure (access roads, culverts, small earth dams, diffused storage stores, community markets, processing units among others) to reduce agricultural production costs and enhance market access. It will contribute to the Agricultural Promotion Policy's (APP) strategic pillar of promoting agricultural investment and financing agricultural development projects. Agricultural production and productivity enhancing activities will be supported through better management of agricultural extension services and the building of the capacities of service providers for sustainable supply of quality farm inputs, reduction of post-harvest losses and assure output markets for farmers. Key impacts of the project are additional incomes to an increased number of producers and entrepreneurs in the region by the creation of about 60,000 jobs along the value chain of priority commodity  and improve productivity along the commodity value chain to its full potential.  The overall goal of the project is to contribute to employment generation and shared wealth creation along the potato commodity value chain, as well food security through increased access to rural infrastructure. The project specific objective is to increase, on a sustainable basis, the income of smallholder farmers and rural entrepreneurs that are engaged in the production, processing, storage and marketing of Potato.  Overall, the project will benefit at least 100,000 farm families in the 11-major potato producing local government areas of Plateau State.

Directly, the project will benefit at least 120,000 farm families. Of these, 50% would be engaged in crop production, 25% in livestock rearing, 15% for fisheries, and 10% in other areas. The total number of direct beneficiaries targeted by the project is estimated at 720,000 persons.

Nigeria - Rivers State Rice Development Study. The Rivers State Rice Development Study project is in line with the Federal Government of Nigeria intentions to improve the production of food crops, thus reduce dependency on food imports and allow for increased self-sufficiency. The study is essential in order to assist the government to pursue its investment priorities in the agricultural sector. It will also have a significant impact in improving the role of women in agriculture. The study is broad based and inter-disciplinary covering all matters relevant to a rural development project. This will include among other things, socio-economic planning, technical design and economic and financial analysis. The study will assist the FGN and Rivers State Government in identifying the most viable rice development project for the area.  The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of developing a viable and sustainable rice project for the Peremabiri, Isampou and Kolo areas of Rivers State. This will include an in-depth analysis of existing data, collection of additional information and determination of the optimum development plan for each area. The chosen development plan will be prepared in sufficient detail to enable immediate appraisal of the proposed project by the ADB.  The project will, if implemented, greatly benefit the women farmers who have remained in the villages. A total production of up to 22,250 tons of rice per annum for the benefit of a minimum of 320 farm families.

Middle Rima Valley Irrigation Project. To increase the local production of food crops.

Land Use&Soil Conserv.Master Plan Study. To produce a strategy for control of erosion, that reflects the fact that erosion is commonly the result of inappropriate land use.

Nigeria - Bacita Sugar Expansion Project. The Bacita Sugar Expansion Project has a high priority within the Nigerian Federal Government programme. This is a follow-on project to an earlier Bank Group intervention. This intervention had produced very good results and had contributed significantly to the trend towards increased sugar production in the complex noted during the 1970s. Only 5% of demand for white sugar is met by domestic production. Bacita Estate is one of only two existing sugar estates which can be expanded. At full development the project will produce approx. 58000 tons of white sugar per annum, and 22000 tons of molasses. This will reduce the level of imports and thus result in savings in foreign exchange. The project will rehabilitate the irrigation water supply system and the existing 5600 ha estate. The area irrigated will be expanded to 7600 ha by the development of an adjacent area of 2000 ha for sprinkler irrigation. Agronomic practices will be improved and new machinery provided in order to raise yields. The existing factory will be refurbished and expanded to increase its milling capacity from 2500 to 4000 ton of cane per day. The principal components of the project comprises of the following: i) Land Development and Rehabilitation  ii) Factory Rehabilitation and Expansion  iii) Agricultural Machinery, Plant and Vehicles  iv) Buildings and equipment  v) Consultancy Services and Training and vi) Operating Costs. The project will be implemented over a 5 year period.  The project aims to rehabilitate the existing irrigated plantation and to enlarge the development of new lands for sugar cane production. The existing sugar factory is to be rehabilitated and expanded. The objective is to prevent the deterioration of the existing estate and to increase white sugar production from 30,000 to about 58,000 ton per annum and thus to reduce sugar imports.  The project will guarantee employment to about 5000 workers and improve the livelihood of 25000 people.

Northern Akwa Ibom Swamp Resources Development. The original objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of developing a viable and sustainable irrigated rice project for the Nkana, Mbiabet, Use and Ikpa community areas of Akwa ibom State. However, later on, it was discovered that large scale irrigated rice production is unlikely to prove viable, because the capital and running costs would not be covered by the increase in the agricultural income that should result. Furthermore, the study showed that neither the topography nor the availble water resources will allow large scale irrigation, even if the land could be made available. Thus, the study objective was changed from large scale irrigation to broad-based inter-disciplinary rural development project. Thus, the study title changed from Enyong Creek Swamp Rice Study to Northern Akwa Ibom Swamp Resources Dev.Study.

Niger - Dosso Department Rural Development Support Project (PADER-D). The Dosso Department Rural Development Support Project (PADER-D) is a synthesis of three (3) initial project fiches relating to the department but presented separately to ADF financing by the Ministry of Planning  these are the following projects: (i) Development of the soils of North Dosso  (ii) Support for the agricultural development of Dosso  (iii) Recovery of soil fertility in North Dosso. The project proposes strong measures to protect the environment and soil fertility, which will be applied on a pilot basis at some 15 sites, as well as actions to intensify crop and animal production in order to contribute to achieving food self-sufficiency, a constant concern of the government. The proposed action programme to achieve these objectives includes interventions in the following areas: protection of natural resources, livestock farming, socio-economic infrastructure, institutional support and agricultural credit. In the northern part of the department, where the problem of degradation of natural resources is acute, the project proposes actions to protect and rehabilitate the land, as well as securing it through agroforestry and various methods of land reclamation involving 8,000 ha of cultivation.  The project proposes to: (i) restore, improve and stabilize the agro-ecological balance in the terroirs with the active participation of the populations  (ii) increase agro-sylvo-pastoral production and thus improve the income and living conditions of the populations concerned.  The project will contribute to improving the productivity of 5,000 farmers, 4,000 agropastoralists and 3,000 herders in the medium term. Its benefits will also affect the 10,000 to 15,000 inhabitants of the sites chosen for the protection and rehabilitation of the land. It is estimated that a total of 12,500 families, or about 100,000 people (10% of the department), will be affected.

Niger - Water Harnessing Study in the Maradi Region. The water mobilization study in the Maradi region, which is the subject of this intervention, fits in perfectly with the Government's policy aimed at strengthening the country's food security and with the overall strategy to fight against poverty and aims at improving the living conditions of the populations. It proposes to develop, for the Maradi region and at the level of the various watersheds, a development program focused on the valorization of sites likely to retain or store surface or underground water, with a view to an increase in plant and / or animal production. At the level of the Goulbi de Maradi Basin, which is a valley with very high agricultural potential, the study should specifically analyze the possibilities of water releases from the Jibiya dam in Nigeria, and this, within the general framework of the cooperation agreement concluded between the two countries in 1990 in Maidugari. Through a method of consultation involving all the actors concerned, the study should give special attention to sites that can be identified by the population and for which development potential exists. The basic principles of the study are based on: (i) an overall management of water resources, at the level of the different watersheds, integrating the transboundary character of certain hydrographic units  (ii) taking into account environmental and social issues, with particular attention to the human aspects of the most vulnerable population groups and, in physical terms, to soil erosion  and (iii) optimal and concerted valorisation of the developed sites, adapted to the situations encountered and answering in the first place to the users' initiatives and expectations.  The sectoral objective of the study is to contribute ultimately to the alleviation of poverty by strengthening food security. The study on water mobilization in the Maradi region has the specific objective of defining a future program of intervention focused on the valorisation of water from existing works (Jibiya dam) or to realize (small dams, thresholds spreading, managed ponds, etc.) and ultimately leading to the development of a project that can be the subject of a request for funding.  This study should benefit the Nigerian authorities, the populations of the Maradi region and the actors in charge of promoting agricultural development in Niger.

Niger - Natural Forest Management Project (NFMP). The Natural Forests Management Project (NFMP) in Niger is an answer to the Government’s concerns to supply the urban populations with fuel wood while preserving the resource. This policy of promoting the sustainable management of forest resources was hinged around the Domestic Energy Supply Strategy (DES), put in place in 1992 after several attempts at natural forest development that fell short of expectations. At appraisal (1997), NFMP was in keeping with the Bank’s strategy, as with that of the Government  indeed, for both parties, the agroforest and pastoral sector was vital to Niger’s economic and social development. The project is organised around the following 3 components: (i) natural resource management, (ii) accompanying actions, and (iii) project management. In order to maintain, preserve and develop the country’s forest resources and meet the fuelwood and leaf needs, the proposes three (3) important programmes involving: a) the creation of rural markets and the integrated management of forests  b) the intensification of forestry and pastoral activities  and c) strengthening of accompanying measures. The implementation of the project will last 60 months.  The project’s sector goal is to contribute to the sustainable management of Niger’s forest and pastoral resources while securing incomes for the rural populations living in the vicinity of the forests. Its over-riding objective is to increase the wooded areas by about 25,000 ha and ensure continuous incomes for rural forest dwellers.  The implementation of the project and the contribution of the populations living near the forests, will help solve the numerous problems of preservation and unrestricted exploitation of the natural resources by the populations concerned. The project will help to increase the income and standard of living of the populations of the Natural Forest Border Areas.

Small and Medium Entreprises. The primary objective of the proposed loan is to give support to Nigeria's industrial reform efforts for enhancing economic and social development as spelt out in the country's Structural Adjustment Programme. These efforts are aimed, inter alia, at encouraging the accelerated development and use of local raw materials and intermediate inputs rather than depend on imported ones   development and utilization of local technology   and generating employment through the encouragement of private sector small and medium scale industries.

Niger Delta Social and Environment Study. The present intervention concerns the Niger Delta Social and Environment Study. The study seeks to prepare a sustainable social and environmental development plan for the Niger Delta. The outputs of the study should include: (i) the establishment of an environmental information management system (EIMS)  (ii) the development of an environmental and social management action plan (ESMAP)  and (iii) preparation of at least two (02) viable projects to address priority environmental and social management problems in the Niger Delta Region (NDR). The Study should be carried out in two phases. The phase I concerns the activities include the review of all-available data and reports, diagnosis of the problems and issues facing the sector and the establishment of an environmental information management system. The phase II is relative to the major activity under this phase should be the articulation of a broad-based Environment and Social Management Action Plan (ESMAP). The proposed environment and social management action plan would complement the Niger Delta Master Plan.  The sector goal is to contribute towards sustainable socio-economic development. The specific objective of the study is to establish appropriate environmental and social management mechanisms that should ensure sustainable development in the Niger Delta Region.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the actors in charge of the protection of the environment.

Niger - Water Development Project in the Dosso and Tillaberi Regions (PVDT). The water development project in the Dosso and Tillabéri regions (PVDT) fits perfectly into Niger's rural development strategy, which aims to improve food security through better control of water resources. The five-year project aims to ensure greater control of surface and groundwater by promoting the construction and development of hydro-agricultural structures, small-scale irrigation techniques and the rational management of natural resources. It implements simple and proven techniques, and intervenes in perfect synergy with the action of the other partners. On the basis of a participatory and decentralized approach, the project will allow the development of 1,200 ha of recession crops and 680 ha of irrigated crops, as well as the regeneration of nearly 9,500 ha of degraded land. Its implementation will give particular support to the land question, the community management of natural resources, the structuring of farmers' organizations and the promotion of women. The main components are: (A) Facilities, (B) Development, (C) Capacity Building and (D) Project Management.  The sectoral objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of the poverty of the populations of the regions of Dosso and Tillaberi. The specific objective of the project is to make the populations of Dosso and Tillaberi regions less vulnerable to food crises through the enhancement and preservation of productive capital.  The project will increase the incomes of more than 12,000 farms and will affect, in both regions, a population of nearly 100,000 people, more than half of them women. The project intends to provide specific support to the most vulnerable groups, whose main concerns are food insecurity and the narrowness of households' financial resources.

Nigeria - Rural Access & Mobility Project. The Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP) aims to build an adequate, low-cost, safe, environmentally responsible and efficient transport system. It is part of the context of a market economy that is developing gradually and is competitive. RAMP aims to improve transport and mobility in rural areas, which is also one of the Bank's priorities in its interventions in these areas. The estimated project cost is UA 39.40 million and the estimated duration is 43 months. It has two main components: (i) the rehabilitation of rural feeder roads (474 km)  and (ii) Institutional Capacity Building was developed under the first phase of the RTTP.  The objective of the project is to improve access to transportation services for the rural population of Cross River State.  In Cross River State (CRS), approximately 180,000 households within a radius of less than 10 km of rehabilitated roads, or approximately 1.3 million rural community members, will benefit directly from RAMP. Roads to be rehabilitated as a priority under the project serve 15 of the 18 communes that make up the CRS. The 2.8 million people in Cross River State will therefore benefit indirectly from the project.

Nigeria - Rural Water Suply and Sanitation Sub-Programmes for Yobe and Osun States. The Sub-Programmes involve provision of water supply and sanitation facilities, as well as capacity building in parallel. In addition, support will be provided to enhance the process of mainstreaming sector policies, institutional strengthening at the federal, state and local government levels in order to manage implementation of the Sub-Programmes and ensure effective monitoring, evaluation and feedback. The Sub-Programmes have three components: (i) Infrastructure Provision, (ii) Capacity Building and (iii) Management Support. The expected main achievements are: (i) 2,359 hand dug wells, (ii) 2,112 boreholes with hand pumps, (iii) 405 boreholes with motorized pump, (iv) 191,229 household sanplat latrines, (v) 58,351 household VIP latrines, (vi) 934 water points in schools and public places, (vii) 2,394 latrines in schools and public places, (viii) 47 WES units in LGAs set up and equipped, (ix) 664 women empowered and trained to ensure hygiene in communities, (x) 18 training package conducted, and (xi) 8 NGOs and 50 private drillers supported and trained.  The objective of sub-programmes in Yobe and Osun states is to: (i) increase and sustain provision of safe water supply and adequate sanitation services to the rural population in the states of Yobe and Osun, and (ii) build institutional and sector capacity for effective management and implementation. The Sub-Programmes target will increase the water coverage from 46.40% in Yobe and 44.72 in Osun to 100% of the 2015 population and the sanitation coverage from 33.60% in Yobe and 29.20% in Osun, to 90% of the 2015 population. The target population is 3.32 million with water facilities and 2.98 million with sanitation services. The sub-programmes will thus contribute up to 3.60% to the national targets relating to the safe water supply in line with MDGs. Its contribution to the national sanitation target is estimated at 3.23 %.  The immediate beneficiaries will be the rural population in the two states of Yob and Osun of about 3.32 million people (2015 population) comprising 2.56 million in Yobe and 0.76 million in Osun. The beneficiaries include subsistence farmers and rural underemployed people. The majority of the beneficiaries are rural people living below the poverty line, including poor women, children, youth and vulnerable groups. The other beneficiaries are the RWSS institutions through provision of institutional support and capacity building as well as NGOs and consultants/contractors who will be involved in implementation.

Niger - The Kandaji Ecosystems Regeneration and Niger Valley Development Programme (KERNVDP). The Kandadji Ecosystems Regeneration and Niger Valley Development Programme (KERNVDP) is designed to provide solutions to the recurrent drought in Niger and the degradation of natural resources. Indeed, the Kandadji Programme is a priority for the country, which had scheduled it for a very long time but could not implement it because of socio-political, technical and financial constraints. The principle of the Programme is to support minimum flow of the Niger river, mitigate the degradation of ecosystems, ensure constant water supply to the cities (Niamey and Tillabéri), provide water for irrigation along the river valley, and, lastly, generate electricity. Its implementation consists in the construction of a structure for regulating the flow of the Niger river so as to provide the water needed for irrigation and other essential uses (drinking water supply, sanitation, ecology, improved flood recession cropping, grazing and fishery), as well as electricity as a by-product that will make the structure as profitable as possible. The first phase will cover the 2009-2014 period, and will cost UA186.23 million.  The KERNVDP will help to improve the food and nutrition of the target communities, and broaden access to water and energy. The programme will also alleviate the hardship associated with lack of water during the dry season, as well as emigration which affects 48% of households.  The direct programme area has a population of some 2.6 million people engaged mainly in agriculture, stockbreeding, fishing and handicraft.

Nigeria - Forestry Development Project in the Ogun and Ondo States. The proposed project will support the Government’s afforestation programme and thereby assist in containing and ultimately reversing the problem of soil degradation. The project is located in the Omo and Oluwa Forest Reserves in the Ogun and Ondo States respectively. The project will provide for gmalina plantation of a total area of 10,800 ha, and an area of 1,600 ha would be put to various food production which is a priority of the national economy. This will provide substantial employment opportunities to the local people and raise their income. The project will also provide for construction of schools, roads and other infrastructure which will improve communication and education in the area. To achieve its objectives, the project will establish industrial plantations in the two States, provide institutional support to the forestry sub-sector through provision of improved infrastructural facilities and technical assistance and will also involve production of food crops. It would be implemented over a period of six years.  The project aims at increasing and sustaining supply of pulpwood for the pulp and paper mill now under construction at Iwopin in the Ogun State. It would also increase the supply of sawn timber, poles and fuelwood to meet the local demand and encourage agro-forestry practices in order to produce food crops adapted to the area. It would thus significantly contribute to the substitution of importation of wood products, pulp, paper prints and related products.  The project will benefit the populations of Ogun and Ondo States. Employment generation will be over 1,000 permanent labour and this will increase the general purchasing power of the affected population necessitating the growth of the informal sector, which is important in any third world country.

Nigeria - Savannah Sugar Rehabilitation Project (SSRP). The Savannah Sugar Rehabilitation Project (SSRP) is a high priority in the development programme undertaken by the Federal Government of Nigeria (GFN). The project aims to increase the production of refined white sugar from around 20,000 tonnes to 51,000 tonnes per year and molasses from 9,000 tonnes to 2,200 tonnes per year from the 1997/1998 season onwards. This will reduce the level of imports and thus allow foreign exchange savings. The expected results of the project are (i) the rehabilitation and development of irrigated plantations from 5670 to 6800 ha, (ii) the rehabilitation of the factory with an extension of its sugar cane crushing capacity from 1500 to 4000 TJ (iii) the supply of agricultural machinery and other industrial parts and equipment, (iv) the construction and/or rehabilitation of housing, administrative, social and transport infrastructure for the sugar complex. Cultivation and irrigation practices will be improved to increase sugarcane yields.  The objective of the project is to increase the production of refined sugar and molasses, in particular through the renovation of the factory and the renovation and extension of the irrigation system, combined with complementary actions to improve agricultural activities. At the sectoral level, the project should contribute to increasing agricultural GDP and saving foreign exchange.  The project is expected to provide about 5,000 jobs and thereby improve the lives of 26,000 families of workers, managers, planters and seasonal workers in the communities surrounding the plant. Its impact on sugar imports is expected to benefit government finances and consumers in general.

ETUDE MOBILISATION DES EAUX DE RUISSELLEMENT DANS TROIS DEPARTEMENTS. L'objectif du projet est d'améliorer les performances du Gouvernement en matière de gestion de l'économie nationale et de mobiliser l'aide extérieure au développement. Pour ce faire, ce projet s'inscrit dans le prolongement des actions entreprises par le Gouvernement avec le concours de la France, la RFA, et le PNUD entre autres et qui visent, d'une part, à renforcer la capacité administrative et technique de plusieurs structures relevant des ministères de l'Economie et des Finances, de l'Action Coopérative Paysanne, du Plan et de la Coopération, et, d'autre part, à fournir à celles-ci un appui logistique approprié. En outre, ce point vise à améliorer la capacité technique du Gouvernement en matière d'évaluation des politiques économiques et des projets et programmes de développement économique et social par la création d'une unité spéciale.

Nigeria - Agriculture and Rural Institutions Support Project. Agriculture and Rural Institutions Support Project is part of the Nigerian Federal Government's improvement of the provision of services to farmers, which in-turn will contribute to increase in food security the reduction of rural poverty. The project should contribute to food security by enabling the Departments and Institutions of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to efficiently serve the rural areas. Otherwise, the provision of logistical support to the extension workers should lead to rapid and effective dissemination of agricultural technologies and related extension services while improvement of the monitoring and evaluation services should enable FMARD obtain timely and relevant data on the impact of the interventions in the agriculture sector. This should enable the institutions to respond effectively and efficiently to the needs of the farmers and other participants in rural development for the enhancement of food security and reduction of poverty. The project has three components, namely: A) Institutional Support and Rationalisation, B) Capacity Building and, C) Project Management. The outputs for each of the components are summarized as follows: Component A: guidelines for departmental coordination developed, institutional performance indicators handbook developed and human resource strategy developed and adopted. For component B: Staff training conducted, agriculture data collection and analysis computerised and Management Information System established.  The sector goal is to strengthen institutions to respond effectively and efficiently to the needs of the farmers and other participants in rural development for the enhancement of food security and reducing poverty. The project objective is to enhance the capacity of the agriculture and rural institutions for effective and sustainable service delivery to the farmers.  The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) departments and the six regional offices (located in Kaduna, Jos, Enugu, Ibadan, Maiduguri and Port Harcourt) should directly benefit from the project through the streamlining of their roles and responsibilities, establishment of computerized systems for data collection and establishment of a MIS. The staff should also directly benefit through training to be conducted and attachments to specialized institutions. Since each regional office serves six states, the state ministries of agriculture and rural development should indirectly benefit from the project through the improvement in service delivery by the regional offices.

Niger - Tahoua Region Water Harnessing Project (PMET). The Tahoua Water Harnessing Project (PMET) is part of the poverty alleviation strategy and is hinged on the Government’s agricultural policy which seeks rational management natural water resources and food security. The project, identified in 1990, is one of the first attempts by the Government directed at implementing this policy. It involves construction of structures (small dams or weirs), establishment and development of 12 210 ha, improvement of livestock production including an increase in the herd numbers by 2,450 cattle, 21,660 sheep and 17,260 goats. There are four main components: Development, Enhancement, Accompaniment actions, and Implementation Unit. The project will also bring about improvement with regard to quality and availability of water and fodder and livestock productivity. Its implementation will aid poverty reduction through redistribution of income estimated at CFA F 2,098 million yearly in the area.  The PMET?s sector goal is to contribute to poverty reduction by improving food security and living conditions in the Tahoua Region. The specific objective of the Project is to increase agricultural and livestock production. It is intended to contribute to the conservation and restoration of the environment, and help improve living conditions in the project area.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Government and its agricultural and water services  the population, especially the rural population. That is about 100,000 people from the 2 departments concerned among the 8 in the Tahoua region.

Nigeria - Support to the National Programme for Food Security in Ekiti, Ondo and Cross River States (NPFS). The proposed intervention is a support to the Nigeria National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) in three States with high agricultural and food production potential. The NPFS program is strongly linked to the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), as Nigeria is one of the core countries in Africa that defined the NEPAD framework following the Millennium Declaration. The implementation of the NPFS programme, to which this project is contributing, is particularly important for the achievement of critical Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria, particularly the goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. The project will finance the development of 18 new sites out of the 218 sites targeted by the NPFS Programme, and provide additional support to the 9 existing ones in the three states. Activities at the sites will also promote opportunities created by the NFSP during the pilot phase to increase the participation of women, and to enhance their leading role in key agricultural activities particularly agro-processing, food production and income diversification opportunities that to improve food security. It will be for five years and consists of the following four components: A) Community Development, B) Land and Water Development, C) Production Enhancement and Diversification, and D) Project Management.  In line with the NPFS programme, the sector goal of the ‘NPFS Support Project’ is to improve national and household food security and reduce rural poverty on a sustainable basis. The objective is to increase agricultural output and the incomes of rural households and beneficiary communities.  The direct beneficiaries of the project would be 11,550 households, which represents 80,850 of rural people of which about 50 percent are women.

Niger - Study for Mobilization of Run-off Water in the Dosso and Tillabery Regions. The proposed study intends to take advantage of the progress and results of the execution of the runoff mobilization study conducted in the early 1990s in the departments of Zinder, Tahoua and Agadez. It will formulate a development programme to identify, for all the catchment areas, sites for holding in and storing run-off water, and around which agriculture/stockbreeding development may be envisaged. The study, scheduled to span 14 months, will be conducted in two phases of 7 months each. The first is to carry out a diagnosis of the potential for exploiting runoff water, resulting in the identification of a program based on the selection of suitable sites and the development of a specific database. The second phase will consist of carrying out additional detailed studies at 10 selected sites, grouped into 2 or 3 projects, one of which will be the subject of ODA studies. This study is perfectly in line with the Government policy to strengthen food security in the country and with the overall poverty reduction strategy, which encourages self-development in the rural areas and seeks to improve the populations living conditions. The approach adopted, based on active participation of the communities concerned, will lead to viable projects conducted by the people involved in development of their own land. The proposed development will make it possible to more effectively cover the agricultural and stockbreeding needs, intensify land development and promote environmental conservation.  The sector objective of the study is to reduce poverty by improving food security. The specific objective of the study is to draw up a programme for future operations in the Dosso and Tillabery regions, involving construction of small water structures for irrigation or stock rearing activities and protection of the environment.  The project will benefit all users and actors involved in the area (Administration, affected populations, NGOs, donors, etc.).

Nigeria - Agricultural Transformation Agenda Support Program – Phase I. The Agricultural Transformation Agenda Support Program Phase I (ATASP-1) is a programmatic operation that will be the main instrument for consolidating Bank investments in Nigeria. It aims to support the Nigerian Federal Government in the implementation of its Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) launched to attract private sector investment in agriculture, reduce post-harvest losses, add value to local agricultural produce, develop rural infrastructure and enhance access of farmers and other value chain actors to financial services and markets. The ATA sets out to create over 3.5 million jobs along the value chains of the priority agricultural commodities of rice, sorghum, cassava, horticulture, cotton, cocoa, oil palm, livestock, fisheries, etc. for Nigeria’s teeming youths and women, in particular. ATASP Phase I (ATASP-1) will be implemented in five years and is estimated to cost UA113.54 million, respectively, in four Staple Crops Processing Zones (SCPZs) of Adani-Omor, Bida-Badeggi, Kano-Jigawa and Kebbi-Sokoto. Key impacts are additional incomes to an increased number of producers and entrepreneurs in the sector by the creation of about 120,000 jobs along the value chain of priority commodities  and additional 20 million metric tons of key commodity food crops added to domestic food supply per annum.  The overall sector goal of the proposed Program is to contribute to employment generation and shared wealth creation along the commodity value chains, as well as food and nutrition security. Its specific objective is to increase, on a sustainable basis, the income of smallholder farmers and rural entrepreneurs that are engaged in the production, processing, storage and marketing of the selected commodity value chains.  The direct beneficiaries of ATASP-1 are the 45,300 farmers and rural entrepreneurs participating in commercial agricultural value chains in the four Processing Zones. This number is expected to increase significantly when other economically active value chain entrepreneurs enlist in the Program. The indirect beneficiaries include existing or potential small, medium and large-scale entrepreneurs and business associations who provide services to rural households. A further 200,000 rural youth (40% of them are estimated to be females), who presently lack employment opportunities in the adjourning farming communities will be especially targeted in the outreach program that will provide them with training and support to improve their lives through engagement in agriculture and related businesses.

Niger - Water Mobilisation Project to Enhance Food Security in Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder Regions (PMERSA-MTZ). The Water Mobilization Project to enhance Food Security in Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder Regions (PMERSA-MTZ) which has been identified under the Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme (GAFSP) is a multilateral funding mechanism for implementing the G20 commitments for food security. PMERSA-MTZ revolves around water resource mobilization and enhancement actions to increase and secure agricultural output, and thus enhance food security in Niger. The total project cost is UA 40,443 million. It will run for a period of five years. The main achievements expected are: (i) the construction and rehabilitation of spread irrigation bunds, mini-dams and irrigated perimeters for the development of a surface area of approximately 17,600 ha  (ii) securing the land of developed sites  (iii) the construction of village wells, rural roads and storage facilities. These achievements will increase irrigated areas, reduce post-harvest losses, increase agricultural output, and improve living standards for more than 200,000 persons.  The aim of the project is to sustainably raise agricultural output and productivity through surface water mobilization. The project’s main objective is to improve food security and the populations’ living conditions in the project area.  More than 213,000 inhabitants of the project's three target regions (Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder) will directly benefit from the PMERSA-MTZ, while nearly 460,000 will be indirectly involved.

Multinational - Support for the Implementation of the Great Green Wall Initiative in Eritrea, Mali, Niger, Sudan and Chad. After a decade of implementation, the Pan African Agency of the Great Wall has recorded tangible achievements in each of the member states.  The second decade, which is the scaling-up phase, will be based on a Priority Investment Plan (PIP) developed in collaboration with all the Agency's partners. It is with the aim of contributing to the implementation of the 2021-2030 PIP that this request for support from the AfDB Group focuses on (i) strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the eligible structures and countries of the initiative and the Great Green Wall Agency, for an effective Environmental Monitoring System, (ii) mobilizing resources through a program that will address issues of adoption to climate change, development of agricultural, forestry and pastoral value chains, and sustainable land management. This project provides an opportunity for the Bank Group to contribute in an accelerated but effective manner to capacity building and resilience in countries undergoing fragility where pledged financial commitments from partners may not create the desired impact if an effective monitoring and evaluation system on the one hand and a long-term programmatic approach on the other are not envisaged. The Pan-African GGW Agency will play a technical coordination and resource mobilization role, and will strengthen the partnership with actors such as UNEP and FAO that are planning major programs in support of GGW, thereby ensuring that the Bank Group's results and approach are scaled up.  The general objective of the intervention is to contribute to the implementation of the PIP 2021-2030, through the strengthening of the technical and institutional capacities of the eligible structures and countries of the initiative, the strengthening of the monitoring and evaluation system at the regional and national levels and the mobilization of resources through a program of adaptation to climate change, development of agricultural, forestry and pastoral value chains, and deployment of sustainable land management techniques. Three specific objectives will help achieve this general objective: (i) to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation system at the regional and national levels, (ii) to update the Agency's resource mobilization instruments and (ii) to develop a high impact project. The main expected results are: (i) the regional and national monitoring-evaluation systems of the GMA become more operational  (ii) resource mobilization is effective  and (iii) the populations of the supported areas are more resilient thanks to the development of a high impact program.  The main direct beneficiaries of the project are: (i) the Great Green Wall Agency located at the regional level and, (ii) the national structures of the Great Green Wall located in Mali, Niger, Sudan, Eritrea, and Chad. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are the communities residing along the route of the Great Green Wall in these 5 countries. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are the communities residing along the Great Green Wall route in these five countries, which will benefit from: (i) the mobilization of more resources by the APGMV, the resilience of the communities will be strengthened through the physical activities planned for the implementation of the regional program  and, (ii) the operationalization of the monitoring and evaluation system will help to make the current and future operations of the Great Green Wall initiative more effective.

Multinational - Upstream project for digital market development in Africa (UP4DMDA) – Phase 1. The proposed project seeks to contribute to the development of Africa’s digital economy, an essential substrate for inclusive, resilient and sustainable growth on the continent. The project will make a substantial contribution to the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa (DTS). The latter remain decisive tools available to the continent for recovery, resilience and sustainability of African economies severely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The project will accelerate Africa’s digital transformation and create a conducive and supportive policy and regulatory environment to boost intra-African digital trade and achieve a common digital market in Africa by 2030. It will contribute to the implementation of digital enablers (universal access to broadband infrastructure, sovereign African cloud, African digital market, etc.), e-commerce and digital trade promotion programmes for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and Startups. The rationale for the Bank’s involvement in this project is to play a catalytic role and help RMCs unlock their digital transformation potential. The project has an implementation timeline of 45 months, at a cost of UA 7.882 million and targets all the RMCs.  The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the frameworks (strategic, policy, regulatory and conceptual) and cross-cutting (gender, climate change and resilience) dimensions for the development of Africa’s digital economy. These frameworks are key substrate to guide the establishment of a single digital market across the continent by 2030. Therefore, the project will contribute to the implementation of digital enablers (universal access to broadband infrastructure, sovereign African cloud, African digital market, etc.), e-commerce and digital trade promotion programmes for MSMEs and Startups, and conducive ecosystem for digital trust, skills and African experts’ networks. It will support the implementation of the AfCFTA, which is a key tool available to African economies that have been severely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  The project’s target population is estimated approximately at 1.4 billion people living across Africa. The RMCs have since 1stJanuary 2021 launched a single market that is operational under the auspices of the AfCFTA. This market has a combined gross domestic product (GDP) estimated at US$3.4 trillion and includes a single digital market. The RMCs through the RECs will be the direct beneficiaries of the project. Indirect beneficiaries include public and private entities (Regulatory bodies, Telcos, MNOs, Central/National Banks, MSMEs, Startups, etc.) engaged in the digital transformation agenda of African countries.

Malawi - SADC Sub-Regional Transport and Trade Facilitation Project. Over recent years Malawi and Mozambique have been exposed to several shocks including economic, climate and health that have inhibited growth and slowed the countries’ paths to prosperity. Integration of the countries’ economies among several other factors is seen as a promising path towards accelerating their development trajectory. In this respect, efficient transport systems are seen as catalytic and key to the success of this process. As such, this proposed project is conceived as an important investment meant to contribute to the countries’ development agendas. The SADC Sub Regional Transport and Trade Facilitation project comprises reconstruction of Kaphatenga-Nkhotakota-Dwangwa road (135 km) in Malawi and Mueda Nambungale road (64.4 km) in Mozambique meant to improve connectivity on the entire 1,604 km link from Malawi to Mozambique as well as reinforce social cohesion. In Malawi, ADF and OPEC financing will cover 75 km and Government will finance 60 km. The project is part of the PIDA Priority Action Plan (PAP II) 2021- 2030 and is also aligned to 2006 SADC Protocol on transport, communication and meteorology, and SADC regional infrastructure development master plan 2012-2027.  The  overarching  project  development  objectives  are  defined  at  the  regional  and national  level.  At regional  level,  the  objective  is  to  improve  SADC  sub-region  transportation  and  trade  facilitation  along  the North-South Corridor in Malawi, through Mozambique to the Port of Mtwara. At national level in the case of Malawi the objective of the operation is to contribute to improving transport services and in particular trade facilitation in the  project area  which in turn is expected to support local economic  activities  which include agriculture,  fisheries,  and  tourism. The  national  objective  for  Mozambique  is to contribute  to  improving transport  services  in  areas  that  are  faced  with  mobility  challenges  particularly  in  northern  Mozambique, specifically the fragile prone province of Cabo Delgado Province. Undertaken with a prism of context-specific conflict prevention specially amongst traders, commuters and hosting communities connected via the roads, the  project  also  contributes  to  strengthened  stability.  The  expected  project  outcomes  are:  (i)  improved connectivity, (ii) trade facilitation and (iii) enhanced social conditions, social cohesion and life skills.
The project benefits include: (i) reducing travel time and maintenance costs  (ii) improving economic potential of the project area  (iii) improving road safety as most of the accidents occur on narrow bridges and sharp curves on the road in Malawi (iv) providing employment during construction works  and (v) reducing flooding of the road as the road is characterised by flooding at some sections. Investing in roads with a conflict sensitive approach applied throughout the project cycle is one of the Bank’s top priorities towards building resilience in situations of fragility. Building community resilience through regional infrastructure is expected to relieve long-term pressures and create positive and more inclusive development dynamics. The project will further support both government’s initiatives of improving regional connectivity on the major corridors and the condition of roads in general.  Regionally, the project target area has over 3.2 million people living along the road corridor, stretching from Dwangwa in Malawi to Negomano in Mozambique. The project’s immediate zone of influence in Malawi are the two (2) districts of Nkhotakota and Salima with a total population of 900,000 whereas in Mozambique although  the  project  traverses  Mueda  district  with  a  population  of  171,000,  it  will  benefit  the  entire  Cabo Delgado Province with population of 2,270,000 including IDPs living in the project location. The project will provide about 150 permanent and over 600 temporary employment opportunities as well as social amenities along the corridors including water, markets, health and school structures. It will also have positive impact on skills development in technical areas and equitable benefits are expected from the capacity building activities.

Multinational - Addendum Guinea-Mano River Union Road Developement and Transport Facilitation Programme- Phase  3.

Multinational - COMESA Support towards Regional Pharmaceutical Sector Development. The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is a regional economic community comprising twenty-one member countries, namely: Burundi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The total population of the bloc is estimated at over 583 million people and its gross domestic product is estimated at USD 805 billion. The objective of COMESA was to create a large economic and trading bloc capable of overcoming the obstacles faced by individual states. The region's main strategy is to achieve economic prosperity through regional integration and to provide its members with the following benefits: (a) a larger, harmonized and more competitive market, (b) increased industrial productivity and competitiveness, (c) increased agricultural production and security, (d) harmonized monetary, banking and financial policies, (e) rational exploitation of natural resources, and (f) reliable transportation and communication infrastructure. To promote industrialization and structural transformation in the region, COMESA has developed a Regional Industrialization Policy (2015-2030) and an Industrial Strategy (2017-2026). The Industrial Strategy, anchored on the Industrial Policy, focuses on nine key priority areas, including pharmaceuticals. These focus areas will have the greatest impact on sustainable and inclusive economic growth to achieve structural transformation of the economies of COMESA member states. COMESA is also a member of the Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA), which is an African Free Trade Agreement between COMESA-SADC-and the EAC. The TFTA promotes integration based on the developmental approach to regional integration, which rests on three pillars: market integration, industrial development and infrastructure development.  The overall objective of the project is to create a vibrant pharmaceutical industry in the region by strengthening the institutional capacity of pharmaceutical regulatory bodies, quality control and management systems, research and development institutions for effective manufacturing of safe and quality pharmaceuticals in the region.
Specific objectives include: i) Institutionalization and ownership of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa and the African Drug Regulatory Harmonization Program ii) Strengthening of drug and pharmaceutical regulatory agencies/institutions in the region iii) Capacity building of key stakeholders and support to trans-regional research and development programs.  The project is regional in scope, but specifically targets the 15 ADF countries in the COMESA region, with an estimated total population of 457 million people. It will directly benefit public institutions responsible for the development of the pharmaceutical industry in the region, including national drug regulatory authorities (NMRAs), quality control laboratories, regional pharmacy training institutions, universities and research institutes. The objective is to empower these institutions to support the pharmaceutical sector to produce locally safe essential medicines for the needs of populations, especially women and children, who share the same burden of disease in the region. Most of the countries in the region have a very underdeveloped and weak pharmaceutical industry. Currently, the region relies heavily on imports for most of its pharmaceutical needs. In addition, due to the weakness of local pharmaceutical manufacturing in the region, there is a prevalence of counterfeit drugs in circulation, which has more serious consequences for the welfare of the people of the region.

Multinational - Regional  Institutional  Support  Project  for  Public  Financial  Governance Phase II (RISPFG). The African Economic Outlook (AEO) warns that 1.8 million people across the continent could be pushed into extreme poverty in 2022, and this number could swell by an additional 2.1 million in 2023. At the global level, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the world economy to grow by half a percentage point less in 2022 than previously expected (down from 4.9% to 4.4%). This is due to a number of factors including continued COVID 19 outbreaks and lockdowns, persistent inflation and reduced prospects in key global economies including China and the USA. This is the regional and global backdrop which informs the design of this investment operation which seeks to support African countries’ abilities to mobilize domestic resources and apply these resources judiciously to development outcomes including the aspirations in Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In line with the 2022 AEO, the operation also promotes climate resilience and considerations for developing low carbon economies through climate smart tax policies and budgeting. The project does this by supporting two key pan-African institutions, the Africa Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and the Collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative (CABRI). It is designed successor to the Regional Institutional Support Project for Public Financial Governance (RISPG) Phase I which was approved in 2016 and closed successfully in September 2021 at 100% disbursement.  The proposed development objective is to enhance domestic resource mobilization, and public finance  management  and  contribute  to  RMC  efforts  to  build  resilience  for  sustainable  and inclusive growth and development. The specific objectives are a) Enhancing African tax systems through technical capacity building and provide a voice for African countries on regional and global platforms  b) improving capacities for public finance management (planning, budgeting and public debt management)  and c) encouraging the mainstreaming gender and climate change in tax and PFM.  The  direct  project  beneficiaries  are  the  ATAF  and  CABRI.  The  grant  is  aimed  at  building capacities  of  African  Tax  Authorities  as  well  as  Ministry  of  Finance  Officials.  The  ultimate beneficiaries are ADF RMCs, which have membership in these organizations and in which the Bank can program as further detailed out in the Technical Annexes. Ultimately the project will contribute to the development outcomes of the African continent and the realization of various commitments   including   Financing   for   Development,  Agenda   2063   and   the   Sustainable Development  Goals. This  proposal  has  been  informed  by  extensive  consultations  with  key stakeholders. This is in the context of the implementation of Phase I, the preparation of the PCR and  in  terms  of  this  proposal.  Stakeholders  including  ATAF  and  CABRI  officials,  member countries and technical partners all shared their perspectives on the continent’s development challenges and policy priorities as well the design and implementation of the proposed operation.

This will boost the local production of cereals and oil grains as the most effective and efficient way to build the resilience of Africa’s food systems to respond to these circumstances and mitigate risks to supply in the short to medium term. The proposed project will complement the ongoing AEFPF projects in Burundi, Comoros, Somalia, and South Sudan by supporting national institutions to scale up the production of early generation seeds for priority food and fodder crops and building institutional capacity for early warning and anticipatory actions. The project will be implemented through three (3) components: (i) Scale up production of early generation seeds  (ii) Expand and integrate digital platforms on early warning and anticipatory actions  and (iii) Institutional strengthening and Project coordination and management.  The overall goal of the proposed Multinational project is to increase agricultural production, productivity and resilience of agricultural production systems in the target countries to mitigate the short, medium and long-term risks aggravated by the crisis in Ukraine. The specific project objective is to strengthen national institutions in the four countries to better respond to current and future crises by scaling up the production and availability of EGS, leveraging existing tools and frameworks for emergency preparedness and developing investment operations to safeguard food security, particularly in the most vulnerable regions within the countries.  The direct beneficiaries are about 40 000 farmers (about 50% women and 20% youth) who will be involved in in-situ conservation of the early generation seeds. The early warning data systems and analytics will benefit the entire humanitarian ecosystem including governments, resource partners, UN agencies and NGOs, and ultimately benefit over 10,000 000 people in the four countries.

Multinational -  EAC Railway Rehabilitation Support Project - Refurbishment of Kampala-Malaba Meter-Gauge-Railway. The proposed Kampala-Malaba Meter-Gauge-Railway (MGR) is part of the multi-modal Northern Corridor route which includes road transport from Mombasa to landlocked Uganda and further afield to other hinterland countries of Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan and Eastern DR Congo. The corridor also has maritime links with Lake Victoria inland waterways which provides alternative transport modes for riparian countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The project will improve maritime transportation on Lake Victoria through the acquisition of new wagon ferries and construction of spurs to Port Bell and Jinja port. In addition, the corridor includes international airports at Kisumu in Kenya and Entebbe in Uganda. The development of this transport corridor will promote trade, spur industrial development, create jobs, stimulate growth and enhance regional integration in Eastern Africa. The overall cost estimate of the Project is UA301.36 million. The Bank will contribute UA219.70 million (72.9%) net of taxes.  The development objective of the Project is to improve rail transport services on the Northern Corridor and to lower transportation costs to enhance trade competitiveness for Uganda and the EAC region. The project will add to the transport infrastructure stock in the EAC region and in particular Uganda to support production in agro-processing, mining, timber, petroleum, and manufacturing industries.  The total number of beneficiaries who will directly benefit from the Project through transportation of goods, passenger travel, and jobs (direct and indirect) is estimated to be around 1.2 million people, with about 40% being women. Travel within the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) using small buses is time consuming because of congestion on the roads. However, with improved railway services, travel time for those who wish to use the train will be reduce by more than half the time spent travelling using road transport especially during peak hours. Similarly, most large manufacturing companies, and small and medium-scale entrepreneurs expressed interest to use rail transport, however, they are not able to use rail because of poor infrastructure and most of the time because of nonavailability of locomotives and wagons to carry their goods (imports and exports). The entrepreneurs at Mukono Industrial Park in Kampala welcomed the Project and looked forward to working with URC, once the rail is revamped.

Multinational - Kenya – South Sudan Road Corridor Lesseru –Kitale and Morpus – Lokichar Road Upgrading Project, Phase I. The Lesseru – Kitale (55km) and Morpus - Lokichar Road (138km) sections form part of the Lesseru – Nadapal – Kapoeta - Juba (945km) (Kenya- South Sudan) corridor, a strategic regional route, interconnecting Kenya and South Sudan. Indeed, the road corridor buttresses the regional transport network by linking the Northern Corridor at Lesseru with the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor at Lokichar. Currently, due to the deteriorated condition of the road, transit traffic currently passesthrough the longer route via Uganda. The project will therefore significantly enhance connectivity within the Eastern Africa Region, connecting the project region to the northern parts of Kenya  linking landlocked South Sudan to a seaport  and boosting regional integration and trade. Because of resource constraints and lack of project readiness on the South Sudan side, Bank’s interventions will be addressed through a phased approach, to ensure the realization of regional benefits. Therefore, as a first step, the proposed project includes the provision of technical assistance (TA) to South Sudan, to enhance the country’s readiness to roll out the planned investments under phase II. On the Kenya side, the proposed Bank funded project will complement ongoing interventions financed by the World Bank, KfW and the European Investment Bank. The overall project cost estimate (net of taxes) including provisions for physical and price contingencies is UA 174 million.  The project development objective is to improve transport connectivity between Kenya and South Sudan thereby deepening regional integration and trade and contributing to alleviation of fragility by providing a more efficient, safe and effective cross-border transport system. The specific objective of the project is to improve road transport along the Lesseru – Nadapal – Juba corridor (Kenya/South Sudan) by reducing travel time, travel cost and improving road traffic safety along the project road sections.  The project is located in the North-Western region of Kenya. As a multinational project the beneficiaries will be the traders, farmers, businesspersons and consumers in Kenya and South Sudan. In Kenya, the Lesseru – Kitale Road section traverses Uasin Gishu, Kakamega and Trans Nzoia Counties whose main economic activities are agriculture with horticulture (export growers), with wheat, tea, and coffee. According to the 2019 KPHC, the counties of Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu have a total population of over 2 million of which 50% are females. The Morpus - Lokichar road section traverses West Pokot and Turkana Counties, which represent one of the marginalized, relatively underdeveloped, arid areas of the country with relatively high levels of poverty among the communities and reported cases of insecurity. According to the 2019 KPHC, these counties have a total population of 1.5 million of which 49% are females. In South Sudan, institutions in the transport sector will benefit from the TA provided under the project.

Multinational (Rwanda / Burundi) - Cross Border Roads Upgrading Project, Phase I. The Multinational (Rwanda/Burundi): Cross Border Roads Upgrading Project including construction of a One Stop Border Post (OSBP) at Akanyaru Haut Border has been prioritised by the two countries as part of addressing the missing road links. Indeed, missing links and poor transport infrastructure in Rwanda and Burundi are constraints to achieving the desired goals of the development strategies. The proposed project will enhance regional integration in the East African Community (EAC) by bridging vital links to the Central and the Northern Corridors and improving access to the sea for Burundi and Rwanda. Due to resource constraints, upgrading of the roads and construction of the OSBP will be completed in two phases. Phase 1 will comprise: Upgrading from gravel to bitumen 69km of roads in Rwanda (part of 213km Cross Border Roads in Rwanda), a Feasibility Study, and Detailed Engineering Designs (including ESIA, RAP, Gender impact assessments/analyses, business development opportunities’ study in the project area) of 65km of road in Burundi   aa Feasibility Study, Detailed Engineering Design of a One Stop Border Post at Akanyaru Haut Border  and the provision of social infrastructure and related Services, and institutional support and capacity building of implementing agencies in the two countries. The actual construction and equipping of the One Stop Border Post Akanyaru Haut construction of the 65km of roads in Burundi (to be designed under phase 1), and remaining sections of Cross Border roads in Rwanda (about 144km) will be completed in Phase 2.  The project development objective is to improve transport connectivity between Burundi and Rwanda by upgrading of missing links on the Central and Northern Corridors in both countries. This will in turn strengthen regional integration and trade in EAC Region, particularly between Rwanda and Burundi thereby contributing to poverty reduction and improved living conditions of the people. The specific objectives of the project are to: (i) reduce travel cost and time by improving road conditions and improving road safety  (ii) improve regional trade and integration by reduction in logistical costs  and (iii) improve economic and social empowerment of residents along the project road and within the project areas of influence in Rwanda and Burundi.  In Rwanda, the Cross Border Roads are spread in North-western and South-western region across six districts covering an estimated population of about 2.0 million people living along the road corridor, bordering with the Democratic Republic of Congo (at Nshili border) and in the South-western side the Corridor connects with Burundi through Akanyaru Haut Border. The project’s immediate zone of influence in Burundi is Kayanza District with an estimated population of about 0.3 million people and rich in agriculture. Based on experience with the completed and ongoing Bank financed road transport projects in Rwanda, the project will provide temporary employment during construction phase of about 2,400 (30% women) and will also provide social infrastructure along the corridors specifically agricultural produce collection centres/markets.

Senegal - Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity Resilience Programme in the Sahel (P2-P2RS). The Project 2 of the Food and Nutrition Insecurity resilience Program in The Sahel (P2-P2RS) is part of the Bank's long-term commitment to build the resilience of Sahel populations under the P2RS Programme. The project will target the most vulnerable households, in particular small producers, herders, fishermen and agro-pastoralists, taking into account specificities relating to gender, age and vulnerabilities (displaced persons). By adopting a territorial approach through municipalities, and paying attention to cross-border areas, the project seeks to provide responses to vectors of social fragility (poverty, farmer/herder conflicts, youth and women unemployment, child malnutrition, forced displacement, etc.). Also, the project will contribute to strengthening regional integration by targeting cross-border areas and enabling CILSS countries to jointly address some regional security issues. The project has four main components, namely: (1) strengthening climate change resilience of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries production  (2) development of agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries value chains  (3) support to regional institutions (CILSS, PAAGGW, CCRS) to build adaptive capacities in the Sahel and (4) programme coordination and management.  The objective is to contribute to improving living conditions and food and nutrition security of the populations in the Sahel and West Africa. It aims to: (i) sustainably increase productivity and agricultural, silvicultural and pastoral production  (ii) increase income from agricultural, silvicultural, pastoral and fisheries value chains  and (iii) build the adaptive capacity of populations through better control of climate risks and contribute to climate change mitigation.  The project will primarily target the most vulnerable households, in particular small-scale producers, herders and agro-pastoralists and artisanal fishermen. It will cover 97 municipalities in the 6 project countries and will directly reach 1,384,000 people, including 692,000 women (50%), with a focus on displaced populations (dedicated indicators). The indirect beneficiaries will be 5,695,000 by considering the households of the beneficiary farmers as well as the regional activities conducted by CILSS, CCRS and PAAGGW.

Multinational - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa III. The Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program (DRSLP) is a regional investment operation designed to address the root causes of the Greater Horn of Africa's (GHA) vulnerability. It aims to build medium and long term communities’ resilience to drought, strengthen peace, conflict resolution and fair use of limited natural resources, and  promote regional integration within the Horn of Africa. The project has been approved in five of the eight countries of the Action area (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia (Somaliland), Sudan) but due to financial constraints, the program will be implemented in phases. The program's first phase (DRSLP I) covers Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and IGAD while the second phase (DRSLP II) covers Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan. The program's Phase III (DRSLP III), which is the subject of this support, should help intensify interventions in Djibouti and Sudan. The Project's interventions will support natural resources reconstruction activities (water, pasture), integrated land management, ecosystem restoration and protection, and investment in agricultural and livestock infrastructure, while improving  storage, market and transport infrastructure such as rural roads. The Project is planned to be implemented over a 5-year period, and its total cost is estimated at UA 24 million, of which USD 21.5 million will be paid by the Bank, the remaining to be financed by the Governments’ counterpart contributions.  DRSLP’s main objective is to contribute to poverty reduction, increase food security and build drought resilience and accelerated sustainable economic growth among pastoral and agropastoral communities in Greater Horn of Africa's arid and semi-arid regions. In more specifics, the project is expected to develop the necessary infrastructures for: (i) water mobilisation and management   (ii) agriculture and livestock production, health and livestock selling. It will also build participating countries’ populations’ and Governments’ capacity to better cope with the effects of climate change, resources scarcity and conflicts related to resources use.  In Djibouti, 10,000 agro-pastoral households with an estimated at 60,000 persons (50% of whom women) will benefit directly from the project. Other beneficiaries include small-scale fishermen, technicians and key executives from relevant ministries and partnering departments, as well as stakeholders from agriculture, livestock and fisheries value chains. In Sudan, nearly 1.40 million persons in rural areas (pastoralists and agro-pastoralists) including 480,000 women, and 6.20 million livestock (cattle, sheep, goats and camels) are expected to benefit from the project. In addition,about 200,000 persons will  indirectly benefit from the project through livestock value chain development.

Multinational - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa III. The Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program (DRSLP) is a long term Bank Program to build communities’ resilience to drought and Climate Change, improve their livelihood and promote regional integration in the Horn of Africa. The first project under the DRSLP was approved on 12 December 2012 for a total amount (loans and grants) of UA 83.12 million, while DRSLP II for a total amount of UA 74.98 million was approved on 26 November 2014. DRSLP II was prepared for UA 99.9 million covering Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia and Sudan, but this would have resulted in front loading of the Regional Operations (RO) Resources. Bank Management addressed the issue by deferring UA 20.00 million of the project resources from the RO window from 2014 to 2015. These are the resources that have been packaged to Project III with an aim to scale up the Program interventions in Djibouti and Sudan. The Project will be implemented in a period of 5 years
and its total cost is UA 24 million, of which UA 21.5 is paid by the Bank and the remaining
being the governments’ counterpart contributions.  The Project is expected to develop infrastructures for: i)
water mobilization and management, and ii) agriculture and livestock production, health and
marketing. It will also build the capacity of the populations and Governments of the
participating countries to better cope with the effects of climate change, resources scarcity and
conflicts related to resources utilization.  An estimated 20 million agro-pastoralists affected by drought and land degradation will directly benefit from the project. Other direct beneficiaries include the Governments of the region whose capacities will be strengthened to enhance drought resilience development, natural resources management and shared benefits, and regional integration. Women and youth will particularly benefit from the
project as specific activities (including value addition) will be designed to enhance their
economic and social integration/empowerment. Ultimately, these outcomes are expected to
contribute to fostering peace and social resilience within the project communities and countries.

Multinational - Ketta-Djoum Road Development and Yaoundé-Brazzaville Corridor Transport Facilitation Project – Phase 2 (République du Congo). The Ketta-Djoum road (503 km long) is an important segment of the highway linking the capitals of Congo (Brazzaville) and Cameroon (Yaoundé). This highway is Development Corridor No. 29 (CD29) of the Central African Consensual Transport Development Master Plan (PDCT-AC) which is 1,624-km long (Yaoundé-Sangmelima-Djoum-Mintom-MbalamNtam-Souanke-Sembe-Ouesso-Owando-Oyo-Brazzaville). The road will be constructed in two phases. The current phase has been implemented to the rate of 98% in Congo and 80% in Cameroon, and is scheduled to be completed by December 2015. Phase II, which is the focus of this project, is a continuation of Phase I, entails finalizing road works not scheduled under Phase 1 in order to have a fully paved highway linking Brazzaville to Yaoundé by 2020. The estimated total project cost is UA 302.190 million, and this phase will be implemented between 2016 and 2019 (four years).  The Project's sector objective is to enhance the efficiency of the road transport subsector in order to boost economic and social development and regional integration in the ECCAS area. Hence, it facilitates the implementation of the Central African Consensual Transport Master Plan (PDCT-AC) whose priorities include ensuring, in the short term, that there are reliable and permanent connections between the national capitals of the sub-region. The project's specific objective is to improve the service level of the transport logistical chain along the Brazzaville - Yaoundé highway to boost trade and enhance the communities' living conditions within the project area. The project comprises the following six components: (i) Road works  (ii) Ancillary infrastructure  (iii) Transport facilitation  (iv) Transport sector studies and institutional support  (v) Biodiversity support  and (vi) Project management. These components stem from the detailed technical studies conducted under the current Phase 2, which were updated in 2014 with financing from the two countries.  The project's direct beneficiaries are road users and communities within the project area (Sangha District in northern Congo and the south and south-east regions of Cameroon). The project is expected to facilitate the movement of persons and goods between the two countries, and also open up access to localities with high economic potential in northern Congo (agriculture, mining, timber,etc.) and south-eastern Cameroon. Furthermore, it will cut general transport costs and improve the living conditions for communities along the project road.

Multinational - Preparation of the Ruzizi Plain Regional Integrated Development Programme (PREDIR). The present project essentially consists in preparatory studies for the elaboration of the Regional Development Program for the Ruzizi Plain (PREDIR). It includes the following components: (i) Elaborating a Master Plan for integrated and sustainable development across the plain in the three countries of the Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries (ECGLC), which should lead to development guidelines for the plain over the next 20 to 30 years, conducting feasibility development studies/Project Summary Note (PSN) over a maximum priority area of 20,000 ha of irrigation perimeter (rehabilitation, creation), elaborating detailed engineering design studies on selected perimeters and preparing tender files  (ii) Conducting a strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) of all sectors involved in the Master Plan. Once detailed designs are validated through donors round tables in the water and agriculture sectors, it is expected that by the end of the Project the necessary investment funding to achieve the priority civil works for the development of the plain will be raised. The total cost is estimated at EUR 2 024 157, of which EUR 1 969 516 are financed by the FAE, or 97.30%.  The project’s main objective is to improve the socio-economic environment of the plain to encourage entrepreneurs to invest in production factors as well as in production, processing, marketing, and thus contribute to poverty reduction and stabilisation of the region.  The project’s main beneficiaries are the populations of the three countries of the Great Lakes Economic Community in general, particularly farmers living directly on the Ruzizi Plain, or 150,000 farmers. Other beneficiaries include the rural communities living on the plain which represent more than 200,000 inhabitants in the South Kivu province in DRC, 349,000 inhabitants in the provinces of Bubanza and 385,000 inhabitants in Cibitoke, Burundi, as well as 380,000 inhabitants in Ruzizi District, Rwanda. Women represent the main beneficiaries of the project (51% to 53% of the population, depending on the country). The youth will also benefit through job creation during construction, and especially through the development of production activities (irrigation, fishing, livestock) resulting from the development of land development facilities in the plain. Even within agriculture, partners such as producer organizations, private associations of entrepreneurs, the public sector, research and extension services, regional institutions, agricultural projects and financial institutions will find as a result new opportunities for selling and marketing agricultural products.

MULTINATIONAL - (CAMEROON-)  - Regional Transport and Trade Facilitation Project on the Cameroon-Equatorial Guinea-Gabon Economic Corridor Construction of a Bridge over the Ntem River. This project concerns the construction of the regional bridge over the Ntem River between Campo (Cameroon) and Rio Campo (Equatorial Guinea) and transport facilitation on the Yaoundé-Bata-Libreville corridor. The demarcated corridor is incorporated in the Central African Consensual Master Plan (PDCT-AC) adopted under the aegis of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). Construction of the bridge over the Ntem River will benefit from all these projects. Moreover, the combined effects of previous or ongoing investments in road networks of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea will contribute to a rapid increase in traffic and achievement of the project’s development objectives. This operation is high on the list of integrating projects in the ECCAS/CEMAC zone, especially in the PDCT-AC whose objective is to foster regional integration within the community area. The project, by establishing a fixed land link between Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea will contribute to the expansion of intra-community trade and an increase in trade outlets for producers in the area. The project has four (4) components: (i) works, (ii) support for transport facilitation and the emergence of an industrial port hub in the Kribi-Bata area, (iii) institutional support and sectoral studies, (iv) project management and compensation.  The project objective is to improve the level of service and build the resilience of the transport logistics chain on the Yaoundé-Bata-Libreville corridor and contribute to the emergence of an industrial and port complex in the Kribi-Bata area. More specifically, the project aims to: (i) increase the volume of trade between the two countries  (ii) reduce travel time, transit and transportation costs along the Yaoundé-Bata-Libreville multinational corridor  (iii) create conditions that will be conducive to the promotion of an industrial and port complex in the aforementioned area and  (iv) improve the living conditions of the population, in particular, of women, youth and vulnerable groups in the project impact area.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of Campo, Cameroon and Rio Campo, RGE, which are the two main urban centres. The population of the area belongs to a multitude of ethnic groups, the most representative of which are the Iyassa, the Bagyéli and the Mvaé (in the Borough of Campo) and the Fangs and the Ndowe (in the Borough of Rio Campo). The people of Rio Campo and Campo, in particular, are involved in farming, fishing and helping to cross the river. Women in particular will benefit greatly from the project, as the bridge and the new arrangements for managing border flows will make it easier for them to supply inputs and sell their products on the corridor. The same applies to the opening of related rural tracks in the area. Transporters and transport intermediaries (including logistics platform operators) are another group of beneficiaries worth mentioning.

Since the railway is built to carry mining, agricultural and general cargo passengers. Then, the project immediate beneficiaries will be the mine operators, farmers, and the general population, who will benefit from access to efficient transport services, and the governments of Burundi and Tanzania, who will benefit from the commercial exploitation of mineral wealth.

Multinational - Investment Planning for Climate Resilient Socio-Economic Growth in the Lake Chad Basin (PIBALT). The proposed project seeks to rebuild the economy in the Lake Chad Basin through investment planning which will catalyse the efficient, sustainable, and equitable development of the basin’s natural resources. The investments resulting from the 2nd FYIP will contribute to increased agricultural activity, economic growth, and poverty reduction, and will contribute to alleviating water and food insecurity in the basin. The expected impact is to facilitate socio-economic development, through improved IWRM and basin-wide adaptation to climate induced variability and increasing demand from the growing basin population and economies. Development of the 2nd FYIP is an important step towards equitable development of the Lake Chad Basin resources. The 2nd FYIP will take a hydro-supportive view that will ensure that investments for all basin countries are included. The project will comprise two (2) components, namely: (I) Development of the 2nd FYIP and (II) Project management.  The overall project objective is to rebuild the economy in the Chad Basin region, based on the efficient, sustainable, and equitable exploitation of the natural resources of the lake through the development of a Five-Year Investment Plan.  The beneficiaries of the project include the Lake Chad Basin Commission and other water management/development stakeholders whose capacity will be strengthened for the equitable develop and manage water resources in the Lake Chad Basin. Following the downstream investments, the basin population will realise improved livelihoods and economic development (approximately 2 million people living along the shores of Lake Chad and 45 million people in the hydrographic basin).

Multinational - Reducing fragility and improving resilience through the development of entrepreneurship and innovation. This Project seeks to strengthen institutional capacity for entrepreneurship and innovation development and job creation in Djibouti, South Sudan and Sudan.  The Project aims at bringing  together learning institutions (at tertiary level), the private sector and the governments to: (i) strengthen E&I at  institutional, national and regional levels  and (ii) stimulate employment opportunities for youth by supporting and promoting the establishment of start-ups led by young entrepreneurs. As described in subsequent sections, Djibouti,  South Sudan and Sudan with a poverty rate of 34.3%, 76.4% and  55.9%, respectively, are amongst the countries in the IGAD region with the highest poverty and youth unemployment levels, largely due to fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV).   These countries are also highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, which result in natural disasters, leading to loss of livelihoods for the population, including youth.  The Project development objective is to strengthen institutional capacity for entrepreneurship and innovation development and job creation in Djibouti, South Sudan and Sudan.  This will be achieved through two (2) specific objectives: (i) building institutional capabilities to foster entrepreneurship and innovation at institutional, national and regional levels  and (ii) stimulating employment opportunities for youth by supporting and promoting the establishment of start-ups led by young entrepreneurs.  The Project has quantifiable direct and indirectly beneficiaries. The Project will benefit: (a) 3 higher learning institutions, that is,  the Universities of Khartoum, Juba and Djibouti,  in terms of  support for  existing incubation centers  (b) 1500 students and academic staff members  (50% female) within the targeted institutions/countries whose knowledge regarding the teaching and practice of entrepreneurship will be improved due to the direct trainings and support for them to develop, test and commercialize their ideas  and (c) 60 youth-led enterprises/start-ups, comprising 2 youth per enterprise (giving rise to 120 youth) that are projected to directly benefit from incubation training and seed funding. The idea of  ‘teampreneurship’ approach will be to ensure that youth are paired based on gender (to ensure representation of female youth) and location (to ensure representation of rural youth).  As mentioned, the  start-ups are projected to commence operation by early 2025 with each start-up having the potential to create 5 direct and 20 indirect jobs annually.  By the end of 2025, first year of operation,  each start-up is projected to create  at least  5 direct jobs leading to 300 direct jobs in total and 20  indirect jobs (created along the value chains related to the activities of the start-ups),  leading to 1200 indirect jobs. In three years (2028), a minimum total of 900 and 3,600 direct and indirect jobs, respectively, would have been created out of the start-ups.

Multinational - Strengthening capacity of transition states for effective management of debt. This Project, on Strengthening the Capacity of Transition States for Effective Management and Mitigation of Debt Distress Risks, seeks to address debt management and other related public finance management issues in the twenty-two (22) Transition states eligible for the TSF in ADF-15 (as shown in Technical Annex B.18 and B.20), most of which are in debt distress, or at a moderate to high risk of debt distress. The Project is consistent with the Bank Group’s and Regional Economic Communities’ strategies and effort of ensuring debt sustainability of its member countries, especially Transition states. The Project’s objective is also based on the rationale that unmitigated debt crisis in Transition states would have profound implications for fiscal vulnerability and further instability not only for these countries but for the whole of Africa and will significantly impair the continent’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the AU Agenda 2063.  The Project’s objective and approach are largely consistent with the Bank’s "One Bank" approach, which recognizes the synergy between different Bank Group units and instruments. Therefore, the Project will activate the synergy between the Bank Group’s fragility and private sector development strategies, as well as other operational and technical instruments for fiscal stability and resilience.  Fragility, governance, and private sector development are intertwined – a fragile environment adversely affects public governance and the ability of private sector to thrive  on the other hand, a strong private sector stimulates economic growth, job creation, increased household, and firm income necessary for sustainable tax revenues for government, fiscal stability, governance effectiveness and resilience. Consequently, the Fund for Africa Private Sector Assistance (FAPA) is willing to contribute US$1million to this Project, in acknowledgement that sound public debt management will enhance private sector participation in the debt market to finance their operations.  The Project target areas are the twenty-two (22) Transition states in Africa. The target beneficiaries will include permanent secretaries, directors, middle level managers and staff in the Debt Management Offices  relevant ministries and agencies working closely with the Debt Management Offices  executives of debt implementing agencies  parliamentary staff and national integrity stakeholders concerned with debt oversight  other stakeholders will include national integrity watchdogs such as the media, non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations with interest in public finance management, especially debt management and transparency. This is the case mostly for training and policy dialogue components. Technical assistance will cover all the beneficiary Transition states but, priority will be given to governments of countries in Transition which are in debt distress, or at high risk of debt distress. These economies will also benefit from the improved capacity for debt management and reporting, which will help ensure long-term debt sustainability and inform future development planning to support growth.

Multinational - SADC Trade and Transit Facilitation Project. The  proposed  operation is aligned with  the  SADC Vision  2050,  which  seeks  to  consolidate  the Community by leveraging areas of excellence and implementing priorities, to achieve sustainable and inclusive  socio-economic  development  underpinned  by  good  governance  and  durable  peace  and security  in  the  region.  The project is  also  aligned to the SADC Regional  Indicative  Strategic Development Plan 2020-2030, which outlines the proposed development trajectory for the region up to 2030. From the Bank’s point of view, the proposed project is aligned to the Ten-Year Strategy 2013-2022 in particular  by  contributing  to  three  of  its  five  operational  priorities  namely   Infrastructure Development  Regional Integration and Private Sector Development as well as priority 1: infrastructure connectivity and priority 2:  market  integration and  industrialization of  the  Southern  Africa  Regional integration paper (2020-2026).  The  overall  objective  of  the  project  is  to  facilitate  the  movement  of goods  and  people  along  the North-South Corridor, and  at  key  border  posts,  whilst  supporting  the  development  of  railway infrastructure in the region.  The specific objectives are to:(i) to enhance trade and transport facilitation especially on major selected corridors and strengthening Strengthen enforcement capacity of customs and border agencies in SADC (ii) Development of regional customs interconnectivity frameworks and interfaces  and(iv) Support the development of an efficient regional railway system.  The project target area includes all the sixteen (16)Member States and the trade catchment areas of three  out  of eight corridors  in  SADC  region  (i.e., Northern South Corridor,  Walvis-Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Corridor, and Nacala Corridor).The project intervention also interlinks three other SADC transport corridors namely, Nacala, Beira and Mtwara in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania.
The direct beneficiaries of the project are the populations of about 160 million people of selected corridors, businesses, and industries in the SADC countries. The proposed interventions will directly impact the project beneficiaries, via improved trade facilitation, reduction in costs of trading as well as creation of business opportunities in the medium to long term.

Somalia - Strengthening Emergency  Preparedness  and  Response  to  Food Crisis  in Burundi,  Comoros, Somalia  and  South  Sudan Project. This intervention concerns the strengthening Emergency Preparedness and Response to Food Crisis in Burundi, Comoros, Somalia and South Sudan. It aims to increase agricultural production, productivity and resilience of agricultural production systems in target countries to mitigate risks in the short and medium terms aggravated by the war in Ukraine. This will boost the local production of cereals and oil grains as the most effective and efficient way to build the resilience of Africa’s food systems to respond to these circumstances and mitigate risks to supply in the short to medium term. The proposed project will complement the ongoing AEFPF projects in Burundi, Comoros, Somalia, and South Sudan by supporting national institutions to scale up the production of early generation seeds for priority food and fodder crops and building institutional capacity for early warning and anticipatory actions. The project will be implemented through three (3) components: (i) Scale up production of early generation seeds  (ii) Expand and integrate digital platforms on early warning and anticipatory actions  and (iii) Institutional strengthening and Project coordination and management.  The overall goal of the proposed Multinational project is to increase agricultural production, productivity and resilience of agricultural production systems in the target countries to mitigate the short, medium and long-term risks aggravated by the crisis in Ukraine. The specific project objective is to strengthen national institutions in the four countries to better respond to current and future crises by scaling up the production and availability of EGS, leveraging existing tools and frameworks for emergency preparedness and developing investment operations to safeguard food security, particularly in the most vulnerable regions within the countries.  The direct beneficiaries are about 40 000 farmers (about 50% women and 20% youth) who will be involved in in-situ conservation of the early generation seeds. The early warning data systems and analytics will benefit the entire humanitarian ecosystem including governments, resource partners, UN agencies and NGOs, and ultimately benefit over 10,000 000 people in the four countries.

They will receive: (i) entrepreneurship training  (ii) post-training support in terms of coaching, mentoring and peer-to-peer support), simplified information on trade rules and regulations – including sensitization on opportunities offered by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)  (iii) support on business formalization  (iv) support to access markets, technologies and finance  and (v) to participate in decision-making processes that impact them. The project will seek regular feedback from beneficiaries through surveys and consultative dialogues throughout its implementation, to track progress and effects. The project comprises three main components namely: (i) gender responsive, climate friendly and conflict sensitive Value Chain Analysis (VCA), (ii) Inclusive and resilient market dynamics and (iii) Enabled women traders in cross border value chains.  The objective of the project is to empower women traders in cross border value chains for resilient economic growth and social cohesion in MRU. The project will start with an initial gender responsive, climate friendly and conflict sensitive value chain analysis that will inform the selection of two value chains and highlight the priority actions that need to be taken to increase the benefits women receive from cross border trade.  The main beneficiaries of the project are at least 1500 WTs, 750 in Liberia and 750 in Sierra Leone. Other beneficiaries include the MRU Secretariat, border community members, institutional actors in the trade environment, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) operators and financial institutions along the identified value chains and trade corridors. All the direct and indirect beneficiaries of this operation will be sensitized on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), as one of the key constraints to Cross Border Trade (CBT) for women.

Multinational - Harmonization and certification of African standards for dairy horticulture fisheries and aquaculture products. This Project seeks to address and minimize the technical barriers to trade across-African countries’ borders through the harmonization and certification of African standards for dairy, horticulture, fisheries, and aquaculture products. Regional Member Countries (RMCs) have diverse national standards and certification requirements for agricultural goods such as dairy, horticulture, fisheries, and aquaculture products. However, these are not harmonized at the sub-regional, regional and continental levels and, therefore, constitute a technical barrier to trade. Even though over 80% of the commodities traded across Africa’s borders are agricultural goods, lack of harmonized standards and streamlined certification requirements is an intractable challenge. This challenge is compounded by uncoordinated border processes and procedures, limited digitalization and rudimentary trade facilitation procedures, which tend to raise the costs of doing business while exacerbating Africa’s lack of competitiveness in cross-border and international trade. Due to lack of harmonized standards and adequate certification, the volumes and values traded among RMCs are low and characterized by stagnation in the basic stages of the dairy, horticulture, fisheries, and aquaculture products value chains. The Project  has  an  implementation timeline  of  48  months,  at  a total cost  of  UA  2.57 million and targets all the RMCs.  It will be financed by an ADF-15 Grant of UA 2.00 million from the Regional Public Goods (RPG) window of the Regional Operations Envelop  and UA 500,000 in kind and UA 70,000 in cash contributions, respectively, from ARSO, the executing agency.  The  specific  objectives  are to: (i) Harmonize Standards and Conformity Assessment for Dairy Products  and (ii) build Capacity, which will entail Training  and  Certification  of  African  Enterprises,  Micro  and  Small  Enterprises  in Implementing   Standards   for Horticultural,   Fisheries   and   Aquaculture   Products.  The Project’s  target  population  is  approximately  1.3  billion  people  living  across Africa’s 54 RMCs.

Multinational - Institutional Capacity Building for the African Union Project. The proposed operation is a grant of UA 8.2million to the African Union (AU) to finance the Institutional Capacity Building for the African Union Commission (AUC) Project. The African Union (AU) is a continental body comprised of the 55 countries that make up the African continent. Its mandate is to promote cooperation among Member Countries on economic, social, and political matters so as to improve the quality of life for the people of Africa. This AUC capacity-building project is an African-owned process that emanates from the AU’s reform agenda. The project will support the AU’s reform agenda, launched in 2017, by strengthening the AUC’s governance systems and processes, growing the expertise of AUC personnel, and increasing the institution’s policy planning and coordination capabilities, especially within the Cabinets of the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson. It is structured in three components: (i) institutional strengthening (systems reform and upgrade)  (ii) policy planning, coordination, and corporate service delivery  and (iii) project management. The project will better position the AUC to address the continent’s challenges by more effectively implementing programs that stimulate sustainable growth and development and deliver on the vision of Agenda 2063.  The objective of the project is to improve the AUC’s capacity to drive Agenda 2063 and its flagship projects and programs. The project aims to build the AUC’s institutional capacity and develop, upgrade, and reform systems vital to the AUC’s planning, coordination, and service delivery.  The project targets the African Union Commission. The direct beneficiaries are the Cabinets of the AUC Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson as well as various AUC departments. The grant resources will be used exclusively for the AUC: no activities will be carried out in ADB (non-ADF) countries. Because the project is a RPG, however, its benefits—better service delivery by the AUC (e.g., more efficient summits and other conferences) and a more efficient delivery of Agenda 2063—will be non-excludable and non-exhaustible. This means that the project will indirectly benefit ADB countries as well.

The objective of the program is to provide the 15 ECOWAS member countries with tools (through a combination of studies and capacity building) for harmonising regulatory frameworks of ECOWAS member countries to enhance regional and sustainable electricity trade.  The project is targeted at the 10 ADF countries in ECOWAS, however, the outputs of the project will be available to all the 15-member countries of ECOWAS for use. As a harmonisation project, the involvement of the other countries will add value to the components and studies particularly relating to the comparative studies and assessments.

Multinational - Institutional Support Project to the AfCFTA Secretariat for an Effective AfCFTA Implementation. The Institutional Support Project to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat (Phase II) is an institutional support operation managed by the AfCFTA Secretariat and financed from ADF-15 resources in the form of a grant of UA 8.20 million. The project will help achieve the triple objective of strengthening the capacity of the AfCFTA Secretariat to successfully conduct the negotiation for the implementation of the AfCFTA, enhancing the capacity of the private sector, with a great emphasis on transition countries, women, and youth, to trade under the AfCFTA framework, and finally improve RMC’s capacities to develop their industrial base for trading under the AfCFTA. The project is structured under three components: (a) Institutional Strengthening of the AFCFTA Secretariat  (b) Support Private Sector in the implementation of the AfCFTA  and (c) Support development of climate-resilient regional and continental value chains to boost intra-Africa trade  in addition to project management. The proposed interventions will include the development and sharing of knowledge and practical insights to strengthen the capacity of both the public and private sector, as well as CSOs at national, regional, and continental levels, in implementing the AfCFTA. The Project will be implemented over a three-year period beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022 (October 2022 - September 2025).  The main objective of the Institutional Support Project to the AfCFTA Secretariat - Phase II is to enhance sustainable intra-Africa trade and RMCs’ share of intra-Africa trade by scaling up the effective implementation of the AfCFTA. The Institutional Support will enable the AfCFTA Secretariat and RMCs (with particular focus on transition countries), to streamline and embed national and regional trade policy-related initiatives and move forward the African trade integration agenda through the effective implementation of the AfCFTA. This project will contribute to enhancing intra-Africa trade and Regional Member Countries (RMCs)’ share of intra-Africa trade by scaling up the effective implementation of the AfCFTA.  The direct beneficiary of the Institutional Support Project to the AfCFTA Secretariat (Phase II) is the AfCFTA Secretariat. The scope of the project is however continental, and the successful implementation of the AfCFTA rests on the effective capacitation of the Secretariat. The project is designed for the AfCFTA Secretariat to extend support to RECs and RMCs to meet implementation obligations under the AfCFTA, as well as the private sector, through technical trainings, to effectively trade under the AfCFTA. Because the project will be financed by the ADF RPG, the grant resources will be used to support only ADF countries (ADB countries excluded). However, its benefits will be non-excludable and non-exhaustible. This means that the ISP to the AfCFTA Secretariat will also indirectly benefit ADB countries, and by extension the African population.

Multinational - Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) Phase II. The proposed operation is for the implementation of Phase II of the Technologies for an African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT II) framework to be utilised in the operationalizing of the Africa Emergency Food Production Facility (AEPF), approved by the AfDB Board in May 2022, in selected ADF Countries through policy and institutional reforms to accelerate the delivery of fertilizers and climate-resilient seeds for 20 million farmers. The Framework will strengthen National Seed Systems for selected Regional Member Countries (RMCs) using a market-based model and support the local private sector to scale technologies and services (seeds, fertilizers, extension) at village level. TAAT II’s support to AEFPF will be key to foster an enabling environment to facilitate the movement of inputs and outputs across borders through collaboration with RECs to build RMCs’ capacities to take advantage of regional initiatives such as harmonised agricultural input policies and regulations, cross-border technology delivery strategies, and regional trade. As TAAT expands the scope of its activities to meet its broader objectives, the components are Creation of Enabling Policy and Regulatory Environment (EE)  Regional Technology Delivery Infrastructure (RTDI)  Deployment of Appropriate Agricultural Technologies (DAT)  and Project Management and Co-ordination (PM&CH). The total cost of the Program is estimated at UA 22.38 million (USD 30.22 million) net of taxes and based on 2022 prices.  The development objective remains to "increase agricultural productivity and household incomes by expanding access to climate-resilient and productivity-increasing technologies in low-income RMCs across Africa by 2025". Specifically, TAAT II is to “enhance agricultural productivity and policy reform to support the selected RMCs to implement the AEFPF”.  There are 37 ADF RMCs eligible to benefit from TAAT II. The proven technology dissemination activities of the implementing CGIAR institutions and partners will benefit participants at all levels of the value chain in low-income RMCs. The RMCs will benefit from the resources of the AEFPF and TAAT II will support its implementation.

Multinational - Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan) - Ethiopia Component. The Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS) is designed as a follow-on phase of the DRSLP with the objective of improving the living standards for women, youth, and the population in general. BREFONS is one of the priority programs identified under the Horn of Africa Initiative. This regional Program was prepared and designed to be implemented in six countries, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan. Due to the uncertain security situation in two of the countries, Ethiopia and Sudan, Program implementation in these countries will be deferred until a more conducive environment is attained. Implementation will therefore be undertaken in a phased approach with the first phase being in four countries (Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan) with a follow up phase in Ethiopia and Sudan at a later period. The Program has four components: (i) strengthening pastoral and agropastoral production systems’ resilience to climate change  (ii) supporting the development of agribusiness  (iii) building the capacity of pastoral and agropastoral communities to adapt to climate change  and (iv) coordination of the program. The total program cost is UA 97.60 million which will benefit approximately 3 million pastoralists and farmers.  The main outcomes include: (i) Increased agricultural (crops and livestock) production to up 30%, (ii) Increased annual income per capita by about 30%, (iii) 180,000 pastoralists and farmers with access to TAAT innovative technologies and practices, (iv) 450,000 pastoralists and farmers benefiting from extension by using digital advisory services under the program, (v) 35,000 additional jobs created for youth and women, (vi) Increased number of farmers and pastoralists using climate services e.g., index-based insurance, with a gender focus to 800,000 people and (vii) Periodic monitoring and reporting of the state of resilience at the national and regional levels.  BREFONS’s beneficiaries include populations in the Horn of Africa affected by climate change, including increased temperatures, high rainfall variability, and intense flooding, each of which have serious socioeconomic consequences. The program’s approach is to deploy an integrated suite of interventions to build resilience to climate change in these populations and improve food and nutrition security. Priority is given to areas in the IGAD cross-border clusters and economic corridors.

The socio-economic welfare of this communities around Lake Victoria will be improved through the extended telecommunication coverage, as business will be carried out more efficiently with the available value added services.

Mali - Integrated Programme for Development and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Basin of Niger (PIDACC). The Programme for Integrated Development and Climate Change Adaptation in the Niger Basin (PIDACC) is justified by the need to promote sustainable social development, protect the large water infrastructure in the Basin and the main ecosystems of the Niger River, and consolidate the good results of the Niger Basin Silting Control Programme (NBSCP). PIDACC is the first Climate Investment Plan (CIP) and Operational Plan 2016-2024 implementation investment programme. The programme aims to combat climate change by securing agro-pastoral production systems, increasing forest carbon stocks, managing natural resources and ecosystems in a sustainable manner, and fighting poverty. It also helps to fulfil the commitments made by NBA countries in international agreements and in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs), as they are all signatories to the Paris Agreement. The programme consists of nine country projects and one regional project to be managed by the NBA, which will focus on: (i) developing natural resource and climate change adaptation tools  (ii) training the countries’ managers  and (iii) coordinating and monitoring to ensure synergetic implementation of country projects to achieve regional objectives. PIDACC and its constituent projects have three components: (i) build the resilience of ecosystems and natural resources  (ii) build the population’s resilience  and (iii) ensure programme coordination and management.  The programme’s overall objective is to help strengthen the resilience of the Niger River's ecosystems and population through sustainable natural resource management. Specifically, it aims to: (i) preserve the Basin's ecosystems, particularly by reducing the Niger River silting process  and (ii) strengthen the resilience of production systems and the population. The programme will focus on improving the socio-economic status of women and young people, and their access to resources, which is a critical factor for eliminating poverty and infant malnutrition.  The programme will directly benefit about 4 million smallholder farmers in the nine countries of the Niger Basin, 51% of whom will be women. The project will build the capacity of smallholder farmers, women and young people through training and the provision of farming, processing and farm produce conversion equipment. PIDACC will also improve access to decision-making positions for women, who will constitute at least 30% of members of the various committees that will be set up. Technical services at the regional, national and local level (NBA, SFN, intervention areas) will be provided with tools and practical guides and manuals on the different approaches developed, which will ensure monitoring of programme results and replicability of best practice.

Madagascar - Indian Ocean - Project to Develop Corridors and Facilitate Trade. The Project to Develop Corridors and Facilitate Trade aims to lay the groundwork for road network development in Southern Madagascar (currently the most isolated part of the Big Island), which is connected to potentially important ports on two maritime fronts: the South-West with Tuléar Port and the South-East with the Ehoala Mineral Port. Both ports provide the country access to the Mozambique Channel and Indian Ocean countries, respectively. The project is in line with the key regional operations of NEPAD, COMESA and SADC, and will contribute to strengthening Madagascar's integration with Southern African countries and IOC member countries. It will also improve traffic conditions, and reduce travel time and costs to coastal hubs that connect with countries in the region. It will be implemented over 5 years, from 2019 to 2023. The project will open up Southern Madagascar, thus unlocking a vast region with a considerable agricultural potential to the rest of the country and through the two seaports (Ehoala and Tuléar), and providing access to COMESA countries and the Indian Ocean.  The project's overall objective is to help improve Madagascar's connectivity with countries of the sub-region, with a view to increasing trade. The specific objectives pursued include: (i) opening up Madagascar’s Southern Region by improving its accessibility  (ii) promoting trade by facilitating export processes to add value to various activities that are typical to Southern Madagascar, particularly agriculture, mining and tourism  and (iii) improving the living conditions of the PIA population.  The beneficiaries targeted by the project are the Malagasy Government, COMESA countries and the Indian Ocean as well as area’s population, mainly made up of farmers, fishermen and agro-pastoralists.

Kenya - Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa. The Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS) is designed as a follow-on phase of the DRSLP with the objective of improving the living standards for women, youth, and the population in general. BREFONS is one of the priority programs identified under the Horn of Africa Initiative. This regional Program was prepared and designed to be implemented in six countries, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan. Due to the uncertain security situation in two of the countries, Ethiopia and Sudan, Program implementation in these countries will be deferred until a more conducive environment is attained. Implementation will therefore be undertaken in a phased approach with the first phase being in four countries (Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan) with a follow up phase in Ethiopia and Sudan at a later period. The Program has four components: (i) strengthening pastoral and agropastoral production systems’ resilience to climate change  (ii) supporting the development of agribusiness  (iii) building the capacity of pastoral and agropastoral communities to adapt to climate change  and (iv) coordination of the program. The total program cost is UA 97.60 million which will benefit approximately 3 million pastoralists and farmers.  The main outcomes include: (i) Increased agricultural (crops and livestock) production to up 30%, (ii) Increased annual income per capita by about 30%, (iii) 180,000 pastoralists and farmers with access to TAAT innovative technologies and practices, (iv) 450,000 pastoralists and farmers benefiting from extension by using digital advisory services under the program, (v) 35,000 additional jobs created for youth and women, (vi) Increased number of farmers and pastoralists using climate services e.g., index-based insurance, with a gender focus to 800,000 people and (vii) Periodic monitoring and reporting of the state of resilience at the national and regional levels.  BREFONS’s beneficiaries include populations in the Horn of Africa affected by climate change, including increased temperatures, high rainfall variability, and intense flooding, each of which have serious socioeconomic consequences. The program’s approach is to deploy an integrated suite of interventions to build resilience to climate change in these populations and improve food and nutrition security. Priority is given to areas in the IGAD cross-border clusters and economic corridors.

Multinational - Project to support CREFIAF and the implementation of the mandates of Supreme Audit Institutions (PAMOMISC) in the Central African Republic, Mali, Niger, Chad and Togo. The Support to CREFIAF and Implementation of Supreme Audit Institutions' Mandates (PAMOMISC) project aims to address the inadequate capacity of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) and external audit bodies in the selected countries, which remains a major impediment to development effectiveness and inclusive growth in all sectors of the economy. It contributes to maintaining macroeconomic stability, debt sustainability and natural resource management in the countries concerned. The project will also lead to improved engagement through communication and public access to SAI reports. The main expected results are: (i) improved transparency and accountability in public finance  (ii) regular external audits in the five countries  (iii) better harmonisation of standards among SAIs  (iv) SAIs to conduct audits of investment projects financed by the Bank, following the example of audits of financial flows already undertaken by some SAIs in the context of budget support  and (v) improved consideration of gender in public policies.  The overall objective of the project is to strengthen transparency and accountability in the management of public funds in order to achieve better service delivery by the state, for the improvement of people's living conditions.

Multinational - SME Business Linkage Program - Sahel SME BLP. The Sahel SME Linkage programme proposes to implement the Africa SME Linkage Programme (Africa SME BLP) in the G-5 Sahel countries. Africa SME BLP aims to strengthen support for SMEs in Africa through an integrated approach.  The programme identifies the main constraints to SME growth - business environment, access to skills, markets and finance - and proposes global solutions tailored to each country. These include building the technical capacity of SMEs and improving their access to markets and financing mechanisms in order to increase their productivity and create jobs for women and young people. The programme costs $4.2 million and is financed by Pillar III of the Bank's Transition Support Facility. It will be implemented by the Union of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UCCI) of the G5 Sahel over 3.5 years. The programme is structured around four components: (i) developing a favourable environment for businesses, including those run by women  (ii) building the capacity of SMEs and access to high-quality skills  (iii) facilitating access to markets by creating commercial links with large companies  and (iv) strengthening access to finance by ensuring the availability of adequate funding tailored to the needs of SMEs, including those run by women.  The specific results are: (i) an increase in the number of contracts between SMEs and large companies, (ii) an increase in the number of loans to which SME beneficiaries have access, (iii) increased participation by women in the SME segment and in access to finance and markets, as well as opportunities for young people to enter the workforce through the jobs created. This should ultimately lead to SME growth, job creation, increased tax revenues for governments, increased regional trade, and the inclusion of women and young people.  The main beneficiaries of the programme are SMEs. In each country, up to 200 SMEs will be selected to benefit from the programme's support in order to have a greater impact on their activities, with between 30% and 50% female participation in the selection process. Other beneficiaries are chambers of commerce and business support organisations.

Multinational - Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) in West Africa. The Capacity Development Project on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism in West Africa Transition States aims to contribute to resilience in the West Africa Region, through improved AML/CFT regimes and capacity development for west African transition states. The project is a multinational grant in response to the 2021Call-for-Proposals of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar III resources in the framework of the ADF-15. It is an Institutional Support Project to support GIABA in its interventions on AML/CFT for its transition member countries. This project will be implemented during a three-year period (2022-2024), for an overall cost of three and a half Million Unit of Accounts (UA 3.5 million). It will be implemented through the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA)2, which was established in2000 by the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)as a common response to the negative impact of money laundering, terrorist financing and other organized crime on the economic development and political stability of the West African Region. The project impact contribution will be to support the improvement of West African countries AML/CFT regimes for their compliance with international standards. It will be reached through countries’ successful implementation of AML/CFT national strategies, based on NRAs findings, as well as on capacity development of stakeholders from various sectors on AML/CFT.  The overall goal of this project is to contribute to resilience in the West Africa Region through improved AML/CFT regimes and related capacity development for west African transition states. More specifically, the project will enhance the provision of the following support: (i) Effective and timely completion of AML/CFT National Risk Assessments (NRAs)  (ii) Development of National AML/CFT strategies consistent with NRAs identified risks  (iii) capacity building for relevant public sector officials and reporting entities, private sector, the Media and CSOs  (iv) Development/enhancement of AML/CFT tools and manuals that considers regional peculiarities.  This project will support GIABA in the implementation of its work plan (2020-2023). It will principally target the nine following countries: Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Comoros. The country-based activities will be allocated based on country needs, assessed by GIABA in its planning documentation. More generally, the project will benefit the governments of West African Transition countries. Even though Comoros is not a West African Transition state, the project will also support AML/CFT activities in this country because Comoros is a member of GIABA and faces the same challenges described for the other transition states members of GIABA. Finally, AML/CFT frameworks and activities supported by the project will ensure less revenue losses for increased Domestic Resources Mobilization. Thus, we can also induce an indirect contribution of the project to an improved access to basic social services, including infrastructures for the population of the beneficiary countries.

Multinational - Crisis Response Support Programme for National and Regional Mitigation of Covid-19 Impact (Djibouti and Somalia) - Somalia Component. The proposed intervention focuses on the Somali component of the Crisis Response Support Programme for National and Regional Mitigation of COVID-19 Impact for the Republics of Djibouti and Somalia. The operation is designed as Crisis Response Budget Support under the Bank Group COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). It is in the form of a Regional Operations Envelope (RO) grant of UA 10.98 Million and a Transition Support Facility (TSF)-Pillar I grant of UA 7.32 Million. The programme will be implemented over one-year period from July 2020 to July 2021 in order to support countries ‘mitigation plans, including measures to tackle the COVID-19 regional spill-over impacts. Djibouti and Somalia represent 19.46% of total COVID-19 cases in the IGAD Region as of 16/07/20203. While Djibouti has the third highest contamination rate in Africa with 5 cases per 1000 and the highest rate in the Horn of Africa (due to population size), Somalia has the third highest death rate of the Region and a case fatality rate of 3% of total confirmed cases. The absolute numbers are misleading, due to low testing: Djibouti has tested 5.3% of the population (9.5% of those tested had the virus), while Somalia has tested only 0.3% (53% had the virus). Both countries are facing similar challenges due to the spread of COVID-19, which is negatively impacting health, livelihoods, economic stability, bilateral cross-border trade as well as trade with their common neighbours in the Horn of Africa (HoA). The programme is a response to the requests from both Governments dated 28 May 2020 (Somalia) and 30 May 2020 (Djibouti), which emphasized the need for support in their joint efforts to address the crisis, through regional cooperation. It is part of the broader commitment among countries participating under the Horn of Africa Initiative and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) frameworks to coordinate their COVID-19 responses and mitigation efforts. The program consists of three mutually reinforcing components which will be implemented through a coordinated approach and mainstreamed measures targeting cross-borders impacts of the pandemic: (1) strengthening the health system for an effective response  (2) strengthening livelihoods and social protection  and (3) protecting the labour force productivity and economic activities against COVID-19 shocks.  The proposed operation will contribute to the sanitary, humanitarian, social and economic response of Djibouti and Somalia, in order to mitigate the national and regional impacts of the pandemic and build the resilience of the countries during and after the crisis. The programme will (i) support health responses in both countries, by upgrading health systems ‘capacities to prevent, detect and respond to COVID-19 and to any future health crisis, with an emphasis on health workers capacity development  (ii) reinforce livelihoods and social protection mechanisms through scaling-up of safety nets, including cash transfers and distribution of water and food to vulnerable groups  (iii) protect economic activities by focusing on tax and financial measures to support the private sector and relying on fiscal balance and accountability.  The measures supported by this programme have a broad spectrum of influence in areas which impact the entire population in Djibouti, Somalia and beyond. Indeed, support for the health response will benefit all populations threatened by COVID-19 and to the labour force in the health sector. Social protection aspects will strengthen the livelihoods for 100 000 households in Djibouti and in Somalia, with a special emphasis on vulnerable groups like women, IDPs and refugees. Activities related to economic resilience will directly benefit 100 and 43 enterprises respectively in Djibouti and Somalia, as well as workers directly depending on jobs provided by these enterprises. Public institutions and workers in the health and social sectors, as well as central administrations in charge of economic management, will directly benefit from the supports provided under this programme that will support the implementation of their respective work programmes.

This Institute was created by the Ministers of Social Affairs of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) during the United Nations Decade for the Disabled (1983-1992). Its mandate is to develop regional training and research programs in the field of disability prevention and rehabilitation. This capacity building intervention builds on the lessons learned about the sustainability of this institutional framework for coordinating disability rehabilitation interventions to strengthen ARI (Southern Region) and develops human resources amongst the most vulnerable groups in three SADC countries as part of the Bank Group’s contribution to the African Decade of Disabled Persons (1999-2009). The project will use the skills of disabled persons for the provision of consulting services for early childhood development, train trainers and leaders of Disabled People’s Organizations, and strengthen the regional coordination agency for disability rehabilitation through the provision of technical assistance to ARI, audiovisual and computer equipment and one vehicle for IEC.  It is expected to be implemented over 24 months and will consist of the following four components: Education on Disabilities  IEC  Regional Disability Survey  and Institutional Development. The total cost of the project is USD 1.37 million (UA 1.01 million).  Project objective is to build capacity for the African Rehabilitation Institute to contribute to the social and vocational rehabilitation of persons living with disabilities in selected SADC member states, by 2003. The project will contribute towards the goal of human resource development for the social integration of persons living with disabilities.  This intervention shall help to meet their continuous education needs and advocacy requirements of a total of 294 activists and spokespersons on disability in Zimbabwe and the region. As a beneficiary of the institutional development provided by this intervention, ARI demonstrates strong collective ownership of the proposed social integration through inclusive education and vocational rehabilitation approaches to HRD for disabled persons.

PROGRAMME AFRICAIN DE LUTTE CONTRE ONCHOCERCOS (APOC). The African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) emphasizes the participation of communities themselves, and the partnership between affected communities, participating countries, NGDOs, donors and the private sector. Onchocerciasis is a major public health problem due to blindness and onchodermatitis with all its procession of psychosocial disorders (intense pruritus, negative impact on family and community life, etc.). The program includes a series of actions and initiatives that will positively address this scourge and its health and socio-economic consequences. APOC through the elimination of onchocerciasis will contribute to the reduction of morbidity, and to the establishment of a better state of health, factor of development. By its regional character, it opens the prospects of a cooperation in epidemiological surveillance and fight against other diseases with epidemic potential such as HIV / AIDS, cholera, meningitis and Ebola. The program consists of the following four components: (i) Community-based distribution of ivermectin  (ii) Point elimination of the vector  (iii) Operational research and impact assessment  and (iv) Program Management.  The sectoral objective of the program is the elimination of onchocerciasis as an important public health problem and an obstacle to socio-economic development in the 20 countries concerned. The specific objective of the program is to reduce the current incidence of the disease to less than 1% (tolerable threshold) in program areas within 12 years.  The success of the APOC program will contribute to improving the quality of life and productivity of more than 18 million people.

PROGRAMME DE LUTTE CONTRE L'ONCHOCERCOSE EN AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST - APOC PHASE II. This project focuses on Phase II of the African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC). The program will contribute to the reduction of onchocerciasis morbidity in endemic countries. It responds to the Bank's vision of poverty reduction and is consistent with the Bank's health and environmental policies. The success of Phase I prompted the international community to commit to continuing the fight against the disease in the 19 endemic African countries. Phase II of APOC will establish sustainable onchocerciasis control operations in African countries where the disease is still a major public health problem and an obstacle to socio-economic development. It comprises the following four components: (i) Ivermectin treatment under the Community Directive  (ii) Point elimination of the vector  (iii) Research and evaluation and (iv) Program Management. The total cost of this program, which will be implemented over a period of 9 years, is estimated at UA 85.00 million.  The sector goal of the program is the elimination of onchocerciasis as a major public health problem and an obstacle to socio-economic development in the 14 countries concerned, the improvement of the well-being of its inhabitants and the reduction of the poverty. The specific objective of the program is to establish an effective, autonomous and sustainable community-directed Ivermectin treatment system in all endemic areas of the program's geographical area and to eliminate the vector in restricted foci using pesticides that do not have an adverse effect on ecosystems.  Beneficiaries are communities that are underserved by national health services due to lack of resources. These communities are also the poorest in the APOC area. 70 million people will be affected by the program and will participate in the fight against the disease. The population eligible for treatment is estimated at 59 million, of which the program has set a target of 50 million in 2010.

Multinational - Project in support of the implementation of the initiatives of the countries lying Along Rivers Congo, Ubangi and Shari for STI/HIV/AIDS Control. The present project falls within the strategic context of HIV/AIDS control as adopted by the Heads of State in their statement of undertaking on HIV/AIDS during the extraordinary
session of the United Nations General Assembly in June 2001. It addresses the concerns of the local populations (travellers, migrants, refugees and riverside populations) who find themselves in a situation of vulnerability and greater risk vis-à-vis the STI/HIV/AIDS, not only because they are in general far removed from the urban health care centres, but also and mainly because of their mobility. Furthermore, these populations have been adversely affected by the recurrent socio-political disturbances in the region. The project also meets the concerns of the governments of the member States of the Initiative about the reduction of the socio-economic impact of STI and HIV/AIDS on the development of their respective countries, more so as the authorities of the four countries expect a significant increase in the migration flows following the liberation of the occupied territories in DRC and the resumption of commercial activities on the rivers. It has three main components, namely: (i) strengthening of the preventive measures and treatment of, and assistance to
infected and affected persons (ii) promotion of multi-sectoral and sub-regional co-ordination and (iii) project management.  The sectoral purpose of the project is to help reduce the spread and socio-economic impact of STI/HIV/AIDS by improving the health condition of the population in general and
in the operational areas of the project in particular. The specific objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of the migrant populations and those living along rivers Congo,
Ubangi and Shari to the STI/HIV/AIDS-related risks.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the sites, namely the natives, migrants, displaced persons, refugees, mobile populations, soldiers, policemen, customs officers,
fishermen, navigating personnel, etc. Particular attention should be paid to the most vulnerable groups, namely the youths and especially women (sex workers and petty traders). In addition to these categories of women, there are many women who were victims of sexual abuse during wars and others who are raped on certain sites (ports especially).

In the long term the project is expected to result in increased life expectancy in the SADC region. Its components include: (i) Improving capacity to harmonize policies, protocols and guidelines for the control of communicable diseases by SADC secretariat  (ii) Increasing capacity to implement harmonized policies protocols and guidelines in SADC Member States  (iii) Upgrading of the regional communicable disease surveillance systems  (iv) Improving the sustainable availability of essential medicines  (v) Scaling up OVC Best Practices in SADC MS. The project interventions although regional in focus will realize results at country level thereby benefiting the people of the SADC region.  The objective of the project is to contribute to regional integration through the harmonized control of communicable diseases (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria) in the SADC region. The project focuses on the SADC secretariat to enable it to fast track the coordination of policy development, harmonization and implementation relating to the three major communicable diseases, namely HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria.  At institutional level, the project beneficiaries include the Directorate of Social and Human Development and Special Programmes (SHDSP) which is mandated to coordinate the implementation of the Health Protocol in collaboration with the SADC Gender Unit as well as the health sectors of the 14 SADC member States which are responsible for implementing national plans in accordance with the SADC Health Protocol. At national level project beneficiaries include communicable disease program managers, managers of health IEC, pharmaceutical managers, drug regulatory authorities and national broadcasters in all SADC MS. At individual level, the project will also benefit OVC who are among the groups most acutely affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The ultimate beneficiaries of the project are people (men, women, adolescents and children) who are directly or indirectly affected by the major diseases of HIV/AIDS, as well as tuberculosis and malaria in SADC countries. They represent the whole population of SADC Member States estimated at 234 million people.

Multinational - Institutionnal Support to  East and Southern African Management Institute. 9.3,,The provision of financial support to research institutions has important advantages. One is that the Bank would be facilitating research into Africa's development problems by easing the financial constraints on such institutions. In its role as a facilitator, the Bank would be enhancing development research in Africa far beyond what its current human and financial resources would permit. Another advantage is that the Bank would be able to tap into the research findings of such institutions in the implementation of its own mandate. The combination of these advantages would progressively confer on the Bank the status of a knowledge centre on African development issues as envisaged by the Vision document.

Multinational - The Microfinance Initiative for Africa (AMINA) project. The ADF Microfinance Initiative for Africa (AMINA) is a two-year pilot program designed to strengthen the institutional capacity of microfinance institutions (MFIs), to enable them deliver efficiently financial services to the poor, especially women. Microfinance is an effective tool for poverty in all the countries selected for the AMINA pilot initiative. In these countries (Ethiopia, Tanzania, Cameroon, Chad, Mauritania, Malawi, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde and Ghana), Microfinance institutions operate with diverse levels of outreach and technical and managerial capacities, and also in diverse environments. As a result, AMINA strategies will vary from the country to another, depending on the microfinance environment specific to each of these countries. Capacity building of MFIs, collaboration with other donors, such as Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP) and MicroStart, networking for information collection and dissemination, harmonization with other ADB interventions in the field of microfinance, constitute the core elements of the AMINA program strategies.  The program objective is to strengthen the institutional capacity of microfinance institutions (MFIs), to enable them deliver efficiently financial services to the poor, especially women. The AMINA indicative program will consist of several strategies and activities, both in selected countries and in the general scope of microfinance. In the selected countries, AMINA will focus on areas, such as capacity building of MFIs, policy dialogue, networking donor coordination and collaboration, information collection and dissemination, and collaboration with ADF poverty reduction projects.  The project beneficiaries are microfinance institutions (MFIs) and poor populations of selected countries, namely: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Cameroon, Chad, Mauritania, Malawi, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde and Ghana.

Multinational - The African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (Phase II and Phasing out). The African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) was established in 1996 in 19 countries (Liberia, Nigeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Chad, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Malawi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Mozambique) where onchocerciasis is still found. Phase I lasted from 1995 to 2001 and Phase II, the subject of this support, was expected to last from 2002 to 2010. However, in December 2007, the latter, which corresponds to the phasing out and exit of APOC, was extended to 2015 to take into account program phasing out activities and the need to strengthen onchocerciasis control in post-conflict countries. To that end, the program adopted an action plan (2008 – 2015) to implement this decision. The program’s strategy is based on community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI). One of the objectives of the 2008 – 2015 action plan is to consolidate the outcomes already achieved by APOC, and to complete the work in post-conflict areas. The expected benefits are the protection of 98 700 000 people at risk against onchocerciasis within the APOC coverage area and self management by 117 000 communities within the APOC area of the community-directed Ivermectin treatment. The total cost of this Phase II and phasing-out of the program, excluding taxes and customs duty, stands at UA 74.70 million.  The objective of the program is to help improve the well-being of the people living in onchocerciasis endemic zones by reducing the number of Disability Adjusted Life Years, and increasing productivity. The main objective is to eliminate onchocerciasis as a public health problem in all endemic APOC African countries.  The population that will benefit from the APOC Program is estimated at about 102, 400, 000 in 2010  108, 200, 000 in 2012  and 117, 600, 000 in 2015. It is mainly include populations at risk in endemic areas.

Multinational - Exceptional and Emergency Assistance to Fight the Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever Epidemic in Guinea and Neighbouring Countries (Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Senegal and Sierra Leone). The proposed operation concerns a grant to the West African Health Organization (WAHO) equivalent to two million Units of Account (UA 2 million) from the African Development Fund (ADF) resources for regional operations to fight the ebola haemorrhagic fever epidemic in guinea and neighbouring countries (Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Senegal and Sierra Leone). This operation will complement the efforts made by the Governments of the countries in the sub-region and other partners. The ADF assistance includes the following components: (i) Building the technical and material prevention capacity of community-level health services, particularly through a robust communication strategy  (ii) Case management  development and management of isolation centres  (iii) Assistance management, which constitutes the administrative cost of the operation due WHO-AFRO, the cost of institutional support at national and regional levels, and activity coordination. Lastly, the operation will support the efforts of the West African Health Organization (WAHO) and help to develop its capacity.  The overall goal of this assistance is to contribute to on-going efforts in the sub-region to reduce the lethality (for those already sick) and the risk of spread of the Ebola haemorrhagic fever epidemic.  Beneficiaries of the assistance are the populations of the Republic of Guinea and neighbouring countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Sierra Leone), in particular, and all ECOWAS countries, in general. The total population of Guinea and neighbouring countries stands at about 74 million. The sub-region (15 ECOWAS countries) has a population of 321 million. Prevention efforts to be deployed in Guinea and neighbouring countries will also check the spread of the epidemic to the rest of the continent.

Multinational - Strengthening West Africa’s Public Health Systems Response to the Ebola Crisis (SWAPHS). The West African Public Health Systems Strengthening Project (SWAPHS) was initiated in view of the scale of the Ebola epidemic in the West African sub-region. The project focuses on three main strategic outcomes: strengthening human capacities and emergency response and preparedness systems, infrastructure development and strengthening regional governance and institutions. In the short term, this project should support the development of technical capacity to develop emergency responses to outbreaks. In the long term, it should strengthen the capacity of public health systems, provide epidemiological surveillance and implement the response to current and future epidemics. The total cost of the project, excluding taxes and duties, is estimated at UA 40 million and its total duration should not exceed 8 months.  The objective of the project is to strengthen sub-regional health systems in order to contribute to ongoing efforts to reduce Ebola morbidity and mortality in the sub-region and to break the transmission chain.  The project will directly benefit approximately 321 million people in the ECOWAS sub-region. The beneficiaries of the assistance are the populations of the Republic of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria as well as neighbouring countries (Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger, Togo, Benin, Mali, Senegal, Gambia and Cape Verde).

Multinational - Study on the maintenance and sustainable management of social infrastructure in the eight member countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA). The study on the maintenance and sustainable management of social infrastructure in the eight member countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) is part of the Bank Group's efforts to help regional member countries equip themselves with social infrastructure (buildings and equipment of the public health  education and social protection sector). This study aims to carry out diagnostic and identify the strategies and actions that can contribute to improving sustainability and quality of these infrastructures in the countries concerned, namely Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo. It will be conducted in two phases which are as follows: (i) a first phase aimed to carry out a diagnostic of the situation and determine the options to be considered for the drawing up of a plan of action  (ii) a second phase whose goal is to validate the various options identified with a view to formulating national strategies, performance indicators, a plan of action and terms of its operation, definition of actions to be included systematically in the future social infrastructural projects and identify support projects or programmes. The total cost of the study is estimated at UA 1.62 million.  The sectoral objective aims to contribute to the improvement of access to basic, sustainable and quality social services for the people of the UEMOA countries. The specific objective of the study is to ensure a more sustainable management of social infrastructure, through the formulation and implementation of community and national policies and strategies, as well as plans of action and appropriate support projects or programmes.  The main beneficiaries are the governments as well as the populations of WAEMU member countries.

Multinational - The Multi-Country Demobilization and Reintegration Transitional Support Program (MDRTSP). The Multi-Country Demobilization and Reintegration Transitional Support Program (MDRTSP) supports the transition phase from the original Multi-Country Demobilization and Reintegration Program (MDRP) set out in 2002 and scheduled for closure in June 2009 to a potential phase II of the program under discussion amongst MDRP stakeholders. The MDRTSP is fully consistent with the Bank’s Strategy for Enhanced Engagement in Fragile States -which aims to foster regional approaches to postconflict development- and the Operational Framework for Regional Operations. Several options are envisaged including a new broader and sustainable regional facility to address disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) related issues, even beyond the Great Lakes Region, following a thorough evaluation of the original MDRP. Meanwhile, since MDRP activities are incomplete and within the context of ongoing insecurity in the sub-region, the need for a transition phase is recognized by all partners of the MDRP. The program cost is estimated at UA 16.31 million for the period 2009 to 2011.  The development objective of the MDRTSP is consistent with the original goal of the MDRP set out in 2002 that is to improve the prospects for peace building and economic recovery in the GLR by financing D&R related activities. The specific objective of the proposed program is to ensure the effective reintegration of ECs in the GLR during the transition period.  The program will benefit directly about 10,000 ECs of which 1,725 will be female. In addition, the program will facilitate the repatriation of 7,300 combatants on foreign soils (COFS) and address the needs of 2,000 women and 500 children affected by the conflicts. DDR national structures will also benefit from technical assistance to reinforce their capacities.

Multinational - Grant to African Management Services Company (AMSCO). This project involves a US $ 1.5 million grant from the FAT to support AMSCO / ATMS project activities as part of the African Management Services Company's (AMSCO) Strategic Plan for 1998-2002. AMSCO was established in 1989 by donors to carry out the African Training and Management Services (ATMS) Project. It is a joint initiative of the UNDP, the IFC and the ADB. The project aims to address the problem of shortage of trained and experienced managers which has been considered as one of the main causes for the weak performance of enterprises on the continent.  The project will allow AMSCO to pursue two types of activities: secondment of qualified and experienced management staff to African companies and training of managers and staff of these companies. The goal is to help local businesses become profitable, competitive, self-reliant and integrated into the international business community and contribute to the development of African economies.  The project will mainly benefit private sector SMEs in all the Bank's regional member countries, including those in North Africa.

Multinational - Institutional support project to the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA). The Institutional Support project to the Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA) is part of the efforts at strengthening and harmonization of business law in Africa and thus contributes to legal integration of the member countries. The CCJA is a regional, economic and legal integration institution established to play a pivotal role in the functioning of the Organization for Harmonization of Business Law in Africa. The project addresses the current constraints on the functioning of the CCJA, particularly, the insufficient human and financial resources, the limited extension of the OHADA Uniform Acts, and the lack of specialization in community business law and the attendant limited participation of the professionals concerned. The institutional strengthening of CCJA will make for greater efficacy and celerity in the processing of cases submitted for dispute settlement or arbitration procedures, and will support good judicial governance and help win the confidence of private investors. The three project components are: (i) Building CCJA capacity  (ii) Communication and dialogue  and (iii) Support to project management. The total cost, net of duty and taxes, is estimated at 840,900 Units of Account for an execution period of 24 months.  The sector objective of the project is to create guarantee legal security for business transactions, encourage investment and ultimately foster regional integration. Its specific objectives are (i) assist the CCJA to effectively and expeditiously deliver its opinions, rulings and decisions on matters within its jurisdiction  (ii) provide the basis for credibility of Common Court of Justice and Arbitration decisions by promoting an understanding of its procedures amongst the parties concerned.  The seven judges who are members of the CCJA are among the direct beneficiaries of the support expected from the project. The project will also offer the Department of Finance and Accounting (DFC) the means to improve its capacities for programming, management and follow-up of CCJ activities. The Documentation Center will further be reinforced, so as to extend the Uniform acts and CCJA decrees and decisions to economic operators and national jurisdictions of the member countries.

Multinational -  Support Statistical Capacity Building in Regional Member Countries for Millenium Development Goals (MDG) Monitoring and Results Measurement. The program – “Multinational Statistical Capacity Building in Regional Member Countries for MDG Monitoring and Results Measurement” – covers 51 countries. It aims, in particular, to facilitate results measurement and MDG monitoring in the run-up to the 2015 target year. The program has five main components and will focus mainly on activities with Regional Public Goods characteristics. These include (i) methodological development work to generate a statistical infrastructure and approach that fit the African environment  (ii) adaptation of international statistical standards to suit local conditions in RMCs and conducting training workshops on these standards  (iii) harmonization of data generation practices and standards to ensure comparability of data across RMCs and with the rest of the world  and (iv) training of RMC officials for strengthening statistical capacity. The total cost is estimated at UA 50.60 million over a 2-year period (January 2009-December 2010).  The program’s objective is to assist RMCs to meet the data requirements for effective policy and decision making  and to facilitate efficient results measurement, monitoring, evaluation and dissemination, particularly in respect of MDGs. The principal outcome will be improved data systems in RMCs, leading to more effective policy and decision-making and better MDG monitoring and results measurement. Specifically, the outcomes include (i) increased reliability of regional poverty indicators  (ii) increased accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of statistics in the program component areas  (iii) improved databases and well-functioning statistical systems  (iv) increased cross-country measurable data  and (v) mainstreaming of results measurement into Bank operations.  The principal beneficiaries will be the 51 participating RMCs. The 4 Sub-Regional Organizations (SROs) and Statistical Training Centers (STCs) will also benefit from the program. The program will be implemented through the 4 SROs (AFRISTAT, COMESA, ECOWAS, and SADC), which will also benefit in terms of capacity building. The Statistical Training Centers (STCs) will similarly benefit from capacity building  they include ENSEA in Côte d’Ivoire, ENEA in Senegal, EASTC in Tanzania, ISAE in Uganda, and INSEA in Morocco. The Bank’s operational effectiveness will also be enhanced through improved RMC data systems.

Multinational - Fragile states fund allocation ADF-12. The Bank’s enhanced assistance to fragile states is justified by the uncertain global environment that is characterized by instability in international prices of food and fuel, as well as the threat posed by climate change, youth unemployment and the need to create broad-based economic systems in Africa. These challenges have further placed an enormous development burden on fragile states that continue to rank at the bottom quintile of the UN Human Development Index and account for the majority of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) deficits. Indeed, as revealed by the 2011 World Development Report and the September 2010 UN Summit on the Millennium Development Goals no low-income country coping with fragility and conflict has yet achieved a single Millennium Development Goal and generally lag 40% to 60% behind other low and middle income countries in MDG achievement. For MDGs 1, 5, 6 and 7 (reducing poverty, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDs and other diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability) only three percent (3%) to seventeen percent (17%) of the thirty two (32) fragile and conflict-affected countries globally assessed are on track to achieving these goals, versus twenty seven percent (27%) to forty eight percent (48%) for non-fragile states. Enhanced support from partners, including the Bank is therefore essential in alleviating the daunting development challenges and accelerating the pace of achieving the MDGs by fragile states in the remaining five (5) years to the deadline of 2015. Accordingly, the FSF was allocated grant resources in the amount of UA 764 million for supporting fragile states in the ADF 12 cycle, representing 87.3% increase over-and-above the UA 408 million allocated to it in ADF 11. Total FSF operational resources available in the ADF 12 cycle, 2011-13 therefore amounts to UA 829.59 million, as at end December 2010, of which UA 764 million are from the ADF 12 allocation and UA 63.19 million from the balance of FSF resources at the end of ADF 11, including the 2008 Net Income allocation from the Bank Group of UA 60 million to the FSF in 2009.  These grant resources will be used to sustain and deepen the assistance provided to fragile states by the Bank in the ADF 11 cycle in support of their transitional programs, clear arrears, and support technical assistance and capacity building through the three windowed FSF.  The beneficiaries of these resources are fragile states.

160.20 million. It will be implemented within a period of 48 months starting from 2009.  The project seeks to improve the living conditions of the people, as well
as the quality of the socioeconomic development environment of the regions, based on the
availability of affordable electric energy and access by the communities to electricity through
increased cross-border electric power trade. It consists of: (i) the Uganda-Rwanda interconnection: the line runs
from Mbarara station to Mirama station in Uganda, then from Mirama station to the new
Birembo station in Rwanda  (ii) the Kenya-Uganda interconnection: the line runs from Lessos
station in Kenya to Bujagali station passing through Tororo station in Uganda  and (iii)
upgrading of the Burundi, DR Congo and Rwanda interconnection. This component consists in
upgrading the current line from Goma station to the Rusizi I station in DR Congo from 70 kV to
220 kV, and the line from Rusizi 1 station to Bujumbura in Burundi from 70 kV to 110 kV, as
well as the construction of an extension from Bujumbura to Kiliba in DR Congo and the
construction of a 110 kV line from Kibuye station to Gisenyi station in Rwanda  and lastly, the
construction of the line from Gisenyi station in Rwanda to Goma station in DR Congo. The
project also provides for building of the operating and maintenance technical capacities of the
said networks  The project will cover an area of 286,350 km² of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Basin and
target an estimated population of 135 million inhabitants. The region has one of the largest
systems of lakes, wetlands and rivers in the world. These water resources have a significant
potential for hydroelectric production, capable of generating high economic growth in the region.
The main beneficiaries of the project will therefore be the people, local communities, enterprises
and trading entities, private and governmental institutions in the five countries, which will have
increased access to reliable and affordable electric energy for domestic, industrial and
commercial use. This will have an immediate positive impact on the competitiveness of
investments in the productive sectors of the economy.

Multinational - The Interconnection of Electric Grids of Nile Equatorial Lakes Countries. The Nile Equatorial Lakes (NEL) Countries Electric Grids Interconnection Project lays the necessary groundwork for the creation of a regional electricity market that would include not only the NBI development programme but also those of the East African Energy Pool (EAPP). The regionalization of electricity production was confirmed by the options development study as the least costly solution to meet the electric energy demand of these countries. As indicated in the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) strategic action plan, the project consists in the construction and upgrading of 769 km of 110 kV and 220 kV line, as well as the construction and reinforcement of 17 transformer stations. It consists of: (i) the Uganda-Rwanda interconnection: the line runs from Mbarara station to Mirama station in Uganda, then from Mirama station to the new Birembo station in Rwanda  (ii) the Kenya-Uganda interconnection: the line runs from Lessos station in Kenya to Bujagali station passing through Tororo station in Uganda  and (iii) upgrading of the Burundi, DR Congo and Rwanda interconnection. By interconnecting the grids of the five (5) countries (Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, DR Congo and Rwanda), the project will contribute to the implementation of this regional strategy. It  will also supplement ongoing energy transmission projects as well as those planned for the future in the region, namely: the development in Ethiopia of Gibe III (1800 MW), the interconnection between Ethiopia and Djibouti, the interconnection between Ethiopia and Sudan, as well as the interconnection between Ethiopia and Kenya. The total estimated cost of the project is UA 160.20 million. It will be implemented within a period of 48 months starting from 2009.  The sectoral objective of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Countries Power Grid Interconnection Project is to improve the rate of access to modern energy for the population of the Equatorial Nile Basin at a lower cost. The specific objective is to provide the participating countries with adequate infrastructure for interconnection of their electricity grids in order to increase cross-border exchanges of electricity between these countries, which are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and DR Congo.  The main beneficiaries of the project will therefore be the people, local communities, enterprises and trading entities, private and governmental institutions in the five countries, which will have increased access to reliable and affordable electric energy for domestic, industrial and commercial use. This will have an immediate positive impact on the competitiveness of investments in the productive sectors of the economy. The countries themselves and their electricity companies will have energy that will contribute to achieving their national objectives of providing access by the people to electricity. Moreover, national development programmes in the areas of education, health, communication, administration, drinking water supply and sanitation will gain in efficiency resulting from the use of electric energy, especially in rural areas that do not have access to modern energy services.

Multinational - Support Program for Regional Technical Assistance Centers in Africa (AFRITAC-II). The design of the AFRITAC (Regional Technical Assistance Centers) program is a reflection of the institutional and human resource gaps and weaknesses that have impeded for many years the implementation of projects and programs in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, especially when implementing macroeconomic policies. Indeed, the low level of human resource development and dysfunctions observed in institutions such as those in charge of public financial management, revenue administration or debt management have a negative impact on the economic performance and absorptive capacity of the countries concerned. The AFRITAC initiative, launched in 2002 by the IMF. The key activities planned by the program were (i) transfer of technology and know-how from technical assistants to nationals, (ii) the training of about 5,000 managers in charge of macroeconomic management, public finance, banking and statistical systems and (iii) the purchase of computer equipment and office equipment. The action of AFRITAC should particularly be able to: (i) support the capacity building component of the PRSP process  (ii) to provide on-going practical assistance and training based on the demand expressed by countries  (iii) and more effectively coordinate and monitor on-going technical assistance projects.  The AFRITAC Initiative aims to improve the capacity of African countries to formulate and implement their poverty reduction strategies, as well as to better coordinate the technical support given to capacity building in the PRSP process. It also aims to increase the volume of technical assistance that the IMF, in its core areas of expertise, makes available to African countries to help them improve their capabilities. More specifically, the program aims to strengthen the institutional capacities and human resources of public bodies in member countries to ensure sound management of public resources, the establishment of well-developed financial systems and the production of reliable macroeconomic statistics.  The program benefited regional member countries.

Multinational - Desert to Power Initiative West Africa Regional Energy Program - Phase I. The Desert to Power West Africa Regional Energy Program (WAREP) will support Sahelian countries in accelerating regional-scale development of solar power generation, transmission and decentralized solar power projects. The project is aligned with the goals and strategies of relevant regional and sub-regional organizations—notably ECOWAS, the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) and West African Power Pool (WAPP). Indeed, WAREP will support these organisations towards reaching the region’s goals of universal access to electricity and increase energy trade over the next decade. The target countries face enormous challenges to significantly reduce their deficits both in electricity supply and access, which limit their capacity to develop their agricultural and industrial sectors. Phase 1 will finance pre-feasibility studies to accelerate regional-scale development for on-grid and off-grid solar generation and transmission interconnection across the Sahel Region. The project which will be executed over 36 months, has three components: (i) Pre-feasibility studies for the Sahel Backbone and associated solar parks to improve regional energy trade  (ii) Preparation Activities for the ECREEE Regional Mini Grid Program (ERMGP) to expand mini-grid investments and generate economies of scale (iii) Project management to ensure quality control and supervision of the project. This in turn is expected to contribute to the global objective of DtP to reach 10,000 MW of new solar generation capacity and universal access to electricity by 2030. The estimated total project cost is UA 4.18 million (approximately USD 6 million) funded under the Bank’s ADF-15 Regional Envelope.  The Project aims to support studies to facilitate regional integration of electricity networks across the Sahel countries by supporting grid interconnectivity to integrate more solar generation capacity. It intends (i) to build a pipeline of regional solar projects, both gridconnected and decentralized solutions, as well as cross-border transmission projects  (ii) to strengthen the capacity of utilities to integrate intermittent solar energy in power systems  and (iii) to streamline and harmonize off-grid regional policy, planning, and regulatory frameworks and capacity-building initiatives led by regional bodies.  Several positive social (including gender) and environmental impacts are expected to be derived from the project. The direct beneficiaries are the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) and West African Power Pool (WAPP), which cover 13 ECOWAS Member Countries, Chad and Mauritania. The 15 beneficiaries include Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. Indirect beneficiaries will be electricity users in these 15 countries who will benefit from enhanced access to reliable and affordable power, since competitive regional pool is expected to lead to a reduction in tariffs. Target countries have a total population of nearly 400 million people.

Multinational - Ethiopia Djibouti Second Power Interconnection Project, Phase II - Ethiopia part. The proposed project marks a new milestone in boosting regional integration in Eastern Africa, particularly in the Horn of Africa sub-region by enhancing cross-border trade in electricity. The 1st Ethiopia-Djibouti Interconnection project has been operational for the last 10 years and the power exchange between the two countries also increased within the same period from 155 GWh in 2011 to 532 GWh in 2020. Since the first interconnector was commissioned, in addition to the increase in demand in Djibouti, the industrial and railway line development around Dire Dawa in Ethiopia introduced transmission network congestion problems. Hence, the proposed Ethiopia-Djibouti 230 kV second transmission interconnection from Semera (Ethiopia) to Nagad (Djibouti) is the best option to increase by more than 30% the clean and relatively cheaper power supply to Djibouti and allow Ethiopia to increase foreign exchange revenue from power trade while reducing the amount of fossil fuelgenerated electricity in Djibouti. This project involves (i) the construction of 230 kV double circuit Transmission Line from Semera (Ethiopia) to Nagad (Djibouti). The line length is 292 km (102 km in Ethiopia and 190 km in Djibouti). Each circuit will have a rated power transfer capacity of 160 MW (ii) an extension of the existing Semera 230 kV Substation (Ethiopia) and extension of 230/63/20 kV substation at Nagad (Djibouti, (iii) strengthening of the existing 230 Kv transmission line between Kombolcha-Mile to Semera, 170 km long  and construction of 230 kV new substation at Mile and extension of Kombolocha and Semera existing 230 kV substations (Ethiopia), (iv) Last mile connection in Djibouti  (v) Technical Assistance and Capacity Building on Master Plan study and Power Trade Agreements and creating strong trading units in EEP (« Ethiopian Electric Power ») and EdD (« Electricite de Djibouti »). It will be implemented over a period of 48 months.  The ultimate development objective (DO) of the project is to increase power trade between Ethiopia and Djibouti and enhance regional integration in the Horn of Africa. The project will contribute towards the achievement of Djibouti’s climate mitigation commitments outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution, specifically the construction of double circuit high voltage transmission lines with a combined capacity of 250 MW to import clean electricity from Ethiopia. The project supports the extension of the interconnector from Semera in Ethiopia side to Nagad in Djibouti to export additional power to the Djibouti National grid. This will enable e Djibouti to satisfy the growing energy demand in the country using relatively cheaper and clean imported energy. When completed the proposed second interconnection project will substantially raise the power transmission capacity between the two systems and increase reliability of power supply to Djibouti.  Ultimately, the beneficiaries of the proposed operation are the citizens of Djibouti and Ethiopia who will achieve sustainable livelihood as a result of improved access to electricity, economic and climate resilience. Direct beneficiaries include the private business, public institution and railway transport system through improved access to reliable and affordable on grid electricity supply and climate resilience. Targeted interventions will be undertaken to ensure that vulnerable people and women are among the key beneficiaries of the program’s activities.

Multinational - Regional Harmonization of Regulatory Frameworks and Tools for Improved Electricity Regulation in COMESA. The Regional Harmonization of Regulatory Frameworks and Tools for Improved Electricity Regulation in COMESA is a regional initiative designed to enhance the sustainability of the electricity sector of the region through effective, uniform, transparent and enforceable regulatory frameworks that set out clear principles, rules, processes and standards for the COMESA region. The specific objective is to harmonise and align regulatory frameworks to facilitate electricity exchanges among COMESA member countries. A combination of studies, capacity building and development of tools will be undertaken to realise these main objectives. The project comprises four components: (i) Elaboration and Adoption of Regional Electricity Regulatory Principles (RERP) and Key Performance Indicators for COMESA  (ii) Elaboration and Adoption of Regional Utility Key Performance Indicators (UKPI) for COMESA  (iii) Harmonised Comparison of Electricity Tariffs (HCET) and Cost Reflectivity Assessment Framework Tool (CRAFT)  (iv) Development of Information and Database Management System (IDBMS). A final component will cover Program Management which will be co-financed with the COMESA Secretariat. The project is designed as a three-year programme and will be financed from ADF Grant Resources. The project budget net of taxes and duties is UA 1,100,000.  The objective of the program is to enhance the sustainability of the electricity sector of the region through effective, uniform, transparent and enforceable regulatory frameworks that set out clear principles, rules, processes and standards for sector stakeholders through a combination of studies and capacity building that will enhance electricity trade within the region.  The project is actually targeted at ADF countries in COMESA, however, the outputs of the project will be available to all member countries of the region for use. As a harmonisation project, the involvement of the other countries will add value to the components and studies particularly relating the comparative studies and assessments. Similar project components are being implemented for the SADC Technical Asisstance project, hence SADC countries who are also in COMESA have been excluded from the COMESA project. With that exclusion, thirteen countries in COMESA and the East African Power Pool are covered in this Project, out of which nine are ADF Countries.

Multinational - Nigeria-Niger-Benin-Burkina Faso Power Interconnection Project. The Nigeria-Benin-Niger-Burkina-Faso Power Interconnection Project, also called the North Backbone Project, involves the construction of a 330 kV double-circuit line over 842 km with transformer substations. The project aims to help lift the following power sub-sector constraints in the countries of the hinterland: (i) the structural generation deficit relative to electricity demand  (ii) the high proportion of thermal electricity, whose cost price is relatively high and which contributes to harming the environment  (iii) the low financial capacity of national electricity companies  (iv) the very limited extent of the high voltage power transmission network, which is an obstacle to energy exchanges among ECOWAS countries  and (v) the low access of the population to electricity. Two double-circuit 450 MW lines will be installed. The project will allow for power exchange among the four countries and with neighbouring countries to which they are interconnected, as well as electrification of 394 localities situated along the line within a 5 km radius. Estimated to cost UA 514.55 million, the project will be implemented over five years (2018-2022).  The project will help to: (i) meet the electricity needs of the population and national economies, in accordance with the national development strategies of the countries concerned and ECOWAS, which aims at universal access to reliable electricity by 2030, with a view to sustainable socio-economic transformation  and (ii) strengthen regional economic integration, through the establishment of power market.  The project will benefit people, especially those living in its direct impact area and various sectors of the economy of the four countries. It will have a major positive impact on the activities of residents of the PIA, in general, and those of women and youths, in particular, through new job opportunities, strengthening of commercial activities, better access to socio-economic infrastructure, the reduction of the load shedding time and electricity tariffs.

Multinational - PTA Telecommunications Network Inter-connectivity and Tariff Study. The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States (PTA) Telecommunications Network Inter-connectivity and Tariff Study, which is being undertaken under the framework of the second United Nations Transport and Communications Decade in Africa (UNCTACTDA II) programme whose objective, among others, is to identify and promote projects for sub-regional integration will complement the RASCOM Project. Lack of an optimized network and interconnectivity as well as the high tariffs are considered the most important factors contributing to the low inter-state traffic within the PTA area. Therefore, the implementation of the study recommendations will enhance the use of the RASCOM space segment significantly. The study components are as follows: i) to undertake a telecommunications network interconnectivity study  ii) to review the tariff structure and levels in the sub-region. At the end of the study, this sub-region will have an investment programme to assist in the improvement and integration of the network.  The objectives of the study are to define an optimum network configuration and interconnectivity plan within PTA member countries for satellite, submarine and terrestrial links as well as to develop a coherent, harmonious and durable tariff structure for the full range of telecommunications services offered in order to foster better communication required for socio-economic integration of the sub-region.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the countries of the sub-region, estimated at 200 million inhabitants. However, the most important impact will be on the business sector who demand for more reliable and faster services by using a reliable efficient and optimised network.

Multinational - West African Monetary Zone Payment System Development Project (The Gambia, Guinea and Sierra Leone). The project aims to improve the basic infrastructure of the financial sector in the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) region through the upgrade of the payment systems of four countries in the zone: The Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. At the time the WAMZ Payments System Development Project was designed in 2008, Liberia, was not ready to participate owing to other priorities of post-conflict Rehabilitation. Since Liberia acceded as a member of the WAMZ in February 2010, the supplementary grant facility aims to extend the implementation of the WAMZ Payments System Development Project to Liberia. The project comprises the following key components: (i) Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS)  (ii) Retail Payments Automation (RPA)  (iii) Central Banking Application (CBA)  (iv) Infrastructure Upgrade  and (v) Project management. Expected project outcomes include increased participation of the private sector businesses, and the citizens of The Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia in the formal financial sector, and enhanced efficiency of funds transfers across the four WAMZ member states.  The sector goal for WAMZ is to achieve full economic and monetary union of its six member states: Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, to foster a more conducive environment for private sector-led growth. The primary objective of the ongoing project is to augment the payment systems in The Gambia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone in order to enhance the performance of their financial systems. In addition to deepening these countries’ financial sectors, the project aims to foster increased private investment through improved efficiency of financial intermediation. Further, the project will facilitate the process for the launch of a monetary union in the Zone, and would stimulate increased economic and trade relations in the region.  Project beneficiaries will include: the entire population of the four WAMZ countries - of which a majority are women - (through increased participation in the formal financial sector)  and commercial banks, and private sector businesses – especially small and medium enterprises -, (through more efficient transfers of funds).

Chad - Project for the production of cotton and food crops in the Sudan Zone. The challenge facing the Project for the production of cotton and food crops in the Sudan Zone (PCVZS) is poverty reduction in the Sudan zone. The Sudan zone is an agricultural zone where 80 % of the population is engaged in food crop production. The implementation of the project will lead to increase cotton production and export revenue in foreign exchange. The PCVZS should be carried out through 5 components: (i) intensifying crop cultivation through the distribution, on credit, of agricultural input and equipment   (ii) ensuring environmental protection through soil protection and restoration works and adequate soil management  (iii) strengthening farmers' management capacity through training, on the one hand, and the current training facility through the provision of additional staff and training, on the other hand  (iv) providing marketing support through the construction of storage infrastructure, the provision of village associations with a working capital for primary collection purposes and through the strengthening of the market information systems  and (v) providing support to executing agencies charged with the rational management of the project.  The project basically aims at contributing to poverty reduction and strengthening the country's food security and increasing cotton and food crop production in addition to raising and stabilizing the income of the population.  The project interventions will benefit to the farmers of Sudan zone, the specialized technicians and 170 000 farms.

PROJ. D'AMEL. FILIERE COTON. The proposed project is part of the improvement of cotton production during the Plan II contract (1991/92 - 1993/94) in Chad. It constitutes an essential support point in the economic linkage strategy adopted by the Government. The project aims to improve the standard of living of the people of the Sudanese zone, which covers an area of 10,500 km2 where half of the country's population lives. Particular emphasis is placed on the intensification of cultivation and management of the cotton sector, on the promotion of food crops, but also and above all on the organization of the rural world through training, the popularization of new farming practices, support for producers and village associations. The industrial component consists of increasing seed cotton processing capacity by building the Pala II ginning plant, the delinting unit for the treatment of cotton seed for farmers in Gounou Gaya and the construction of the microfactory in Bébédjia to adapt it to technological developments in textile research.  The project, which falls within the framework of the Plan II contract, aims to improve the living standards of the people of the Sudanese zone by increasing their income through increasing cotton production for export and promoting food crops. The project also aims to improve Chad's balance of payments. The actions envisaged under this project can be grouped into two (2) components: (i) one agricultural and (ii) the other industrial.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Government, stakeholders in the cotton sector, producers and village associations in the Sudanese zone.

Chad - Surface Runoff Water Enhancement Project in Biltine, Batha, Guera and Ouaddaï. The Surface Run-off Water Enhancement Project in the four prefectures of Biltine, Batha, Guéra and Ouaddaï (PVERS) is in line with the Chadian Government’s strategy for the agricultural sector which seeks to: (i) create an environment conducive to the production and marketing of agricultural surpluses  (ii) improve road communications and (iii) support producers’ organizations in the management of community activities. The project aims to mobilize surface runoff water for farming and livestock watering, open up the production areas through the development of rural feeder roads and the supply of drinking water to the population of the project area by constructing boreholes equipped with pumps. The project’s formulation is based on the principle of storing surface runoff water to be used for flood-recession and off-season farming, thus increasing villagers’ incomes and purchasing power. The nine sites chosen for the PVERS were selected from 323 sites identified through photo-interpretation during the first phase of the study. A multiple criteria choice analysis led the selection of 9 sites located in four prefectures (Batha, Biltine, Guéra and Ouaddaï). The project comprises four (04) components, namely: (i) the civil works  (ii) agro–pastoral development, (iii) support actions and (iv) project management.  The sector goal of the PVERS is to improve food security. The specific objective consists in harvesting and harnessing the surface runoff water in the four (04) prefectures of Batha, Biltine, Guéra and Ouaddaï for flood-recession farming, market gardening and livestock watering.  The main beneficiaries of the project are rural population of the four prefectures of Biltine, Batha, Guéra and Ouaddaï.

PROG RELANCE REG. LAC ETUDE SCH. DIR. Les terres irrigables du pays sont estimées à 5,6 millions d’hectares dont seuls 7.000 ha sont irrigués. La région du Lac Tchad occupe une place de choix dans la stratégie de développement du pays. Elle possède 90.000 ha de terres aménageables qui sont constituées des sols alluvionnaires récupérés sur le Lac par assèchement de ses bras. Pour mettre en œuvre sa politique agricole dans cette région, le Gouvernement Tchadien a créé en 1967 la Société de Développement du Lac (SODELAC). C'est dans ce contexte, et dans le but de doter la SODELAC des ressources matérielles et humaines après la guerre afin de la rendre opérationnelle qu’est né le programme de relance du développement de la région du Lac (PRDRL).  Le programme de relance du développement de la région du Lac a permis l’amélioration des revenus de 1415 familles bénéficiaires des parcelles dans le périmètre de Berim aménagé et 270 à Guini, leur permettant de pratiquer deux cultures par an. Par ailleurs, l’aménagement du périmètre de Berim a participé au développement social de la région grâce à la mise en œuvre d’un processus aboutissant à la création d’un véritable pôle d’attraction. Cela a permis le regroupement des paysans, facilité par l’implantation, à leur bénéfice, des services sociaux sanitaires et éducatifs par le Gouvernement.

PPF - PROJET D'APPUI AU SYSTEME D'ELEVAGE PASTORAL. The Livestock System Support Project (PASEP) has been identified under the Rural Development Intervention Program (RDP) in Chad. The PASEP aims at consolidating the achievements of the National Livestock Project (NCP) carried out from 1989 to 1999 on the one hand and, on the other hand, to contribute to the reduction of poverty and the improvement of food security in the country. Unlike the PNE, which has been implemented throughout the country, PASEP is mainly concerned with the inking zone of pastoral livestock keeping, while taking into account the transhumance zones. The project area thus circumscribed had not until then benefited from a project designed to integrate all the actors of the sector and relevant actions that strengthen the subsector's contribution to the national economy. The project is a priority for Chad and will contribute to reducing poverty and improving people's food security. All economic operators of livestock are involved. It will contribute to professionalization, the promotion of the competitiveness of pastoral sectors and the strengthening of service providers. The expected outputs of the project are: strengthening and supporting associations of breeders, livestock traders and butchers through professionalisation, the emergence of their local and national representations  support for training of actors  support for the competitiveness of livestock products by modernizing the production infrastructure (structures and pastoral perimeters), marketing (livestock markets and transport corridors), processing (slaughter areas, slaughter stalls)  and capacity building of service providers (rehabilitation of some extension infrastructure, certification of animal products). The project is scheduled for a 5-year execution period with a total cost excluding taxes, excluding customs, estimated at UA 24.14 million.  The sectoral objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of poverty in Chad. The specific objective is to increase livestock production with a view to increasing beneficiaries' incomes on a sustainable basis.  The first beneficiaries are pastoralists in ferrick, a traditional unit or group of pastoral interest. Downstream from the sector, the other beneficiaries are the operators involved in the processing and marketing of livestock and its products. The project will directly target 100,000 production units, or 700,000 people. The other breeders will benefit from the project actions through the means of communication implemented.

ETUDE PECHE/PISCICULTURE. The study of the fishing and fish farming sub-sector, which lasts 18 months, will cover the entire national territory and in particular the Lake Chad region, the Logone Chari complex, flooded areas and secondary lakes, which are the site of important fishing activities. It will take place in two main phases. The first phase of the study, which will last a total of eleven (11) months, consists of a diagnostic assessment of the sub-sector, setting up a computerized database and to draw up the master plan for the development of fishing and fish farming. The second phase will last seven (7) months and will make it possible to carry out the technical, financial and socio-economic preparation of a priority project for the development of fisheries and of fish farming in Chad. The resulting fisheries and fish farming project should lead to concrete actions for the management and sustainable management of fisheries resources, to enhance the value of products and strengthen the institutional capacity of the sub-sector. The total cost of the study is estimated at UA 790,250.  The sectoral objective of the study is to improve the contribution of the fisheries and fish farming sub-sector to food security, poverty reduction and economic diversification. More specifically, the study of the fisheries and fish farming sub-sector aims to: (i) establish a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the subsector  (ii) draw up a master plan for the development of fishing and fish farming  and (iii) carry out the feasibility study of a priority project for the development of fishing and fish farming in Chad.  The main beneficiaries are the Government of Chad and the actors in the fisheries sector.

PROJET DE DEVELOPPEMENT DE LA PECHE (PRODEPECHE). The fisheries development support project (ProdePêche ) is the first nation-wide activity in the implementation of the master plan for fisheries and fish-farming. It aims to help to reduce poverty. This project will help to strengthen capacity for sustainable management of fishery resources at national level and will lead to production of an additional 39,000 tonnes of fish. The project will have the economic effect of increasing the contribution of the fisheries sector to GDP by 37%. Total estimated project cost is 13,068 million CFA.F, representing UA17.08 million net of taxes and customs duties. The project consists of four components, namely: institutional capacity building   development and sustainable management of resources   marketing support  and project management. The main project outputs expected are (i) strengthening of the institutional capacities of 5,700 fishery sector operators, partner institutions, the fisheries authorities and the local governments concerned  (ii) development and rational management of fishery resources in Chad’s river and lakes system   (iii) maintaining production at a sustainable level of 120,000 tonnes per year   (iv) protection of 100 km of banks and 400,000 lm of buffer zones   (v) establishment of 500 ha of community forests   diversification of the activities of fishermen   (vi) improved infrastructure, equipment and services at grassroots level with a view to developing fish products   and (vii) improving the living conditions of the population.  The project’s sector goal is to help to reduce poverty. Its specific objective is to sustainably improve the living conditions of the actors in the fisheries sector.  The direct project beneficiaries will be the poor and vulnerable segments of the population: 125,000 fishermen and farmer-fishermen, 18,000 fishmongers, fish processors, input suppliers, canoe builders, laborers and 10,000 other rural folk. Households in these areas are vulnerable generally, but those headed by women are even more so. The target groups require training and information, technical, financial and organizational support to handle community-based projects successfully. Beyond the target groups, the project will have an indirect impact on a significant part of the population in its area of intervention, notably through the socioeconomic infrastructure and environmental protection activities that it will provide. Lastly, fishery authorities (and the other State structures involved in the project) will benefit from the project, as will microfinance institutions and partner NGOs whose intervention capacities will be enhanced. Generally, the beneficiaries are members of associations, groups and intergroups of fishermen and fish marketers who, with the support of NGOs and development projects, are slowly organizing themselves to ensure that they derive the maximum benefit from their fishery activities.

Chad - Rural, Pastoral and Transhumance Infrastructure Project. The Rural, Pastoral and Transhumance Infrastructure Project (PIRPT) is a reponse to increasingly bloody conflicts among users of pastoral resources because of the owing to drought and the growing pressure on land. Added to this, there is a shortage of pastoral water points in some grazing areas. The project aims to enhance the living conditions of the transhumant and sedentary population of the target area by improving access to pastoral infrastructure and resources(wells, ponds, transhumance corridors, livestock schemes), basic social services, including animal health, education for nomadic children, maternal and child health (nomadic school, clinic, storeroom, animal product processing plant, animal vaccination pen, water point). The PIRPT will target the poor rural population made up of transhumant livestock herders and sedentary agro-pastoralists, who account for almost 80% of the total population of the target area, or nearly 6.7 million inhabitants,of whom 52% women. The project will result in improved living conditions for this population through better access to pastoral facilities and resources, and to basic social services. The project will hinge on the following three components: (i) pastoral facilities and joint management of pastoral resources  (ii) strengthening the capacity of transhumant livestock stakeholders  and (iii) coordinating project management.  The project goal is to contribute to improved living conditions among the transhumant and sedentary population.  The project will directly affect the transhumant population consisting of 387,000 inhabitants, or about 55, 400 households. It will help to improve access to animal health services, livestock watering and grazing land, nomadic children’s access to education, access to maternal and child health services, methods of conservation and processing of livestock products, particularly milk, which is a primary source of herder household income. The activities to support the direct beneficiaries of the infrastructure in terms of consultation and training will strengthen their organisational and technical capacity for proper handling of issues affecting them.

Chad - Natural Resource Management and
Development Project. The natural resource management and development project is designed within the framework of the Rural Development Intervention Program (RDIP) and it stemmed from the observation that sustainable development in Chad has to start with rational management of natural resources. This management is the focus of the rural development sector consultation in Chad. Implementation of the current project will solve one of the most disturbing development problems in Chad – namely, the degradation of productive capital, notably land. The project will also contribute to water resource development. Indeed, its implementation will also lead to an increase in the irrigated surface area, thus contributing to the attainment of Chad’s water management objective and guaranteeing the long-term profitability of natural resource use. The maintaining, increase and diversification of agricultural production, coupled with the positive effects of technical assistance and those generated by the setting up of a seed sector will lead to substantial poverty reduction in the project area and an improvement in the living conditions of the people. The total project cost is estimated at CFA.F 15,759 million or UA 20.42 million, net of taxes and customs duties. The project will be implemented over a period of six years and comprises the following components: (i) capacity-building  (ii) increasing the productivity of natural resources  and (iii) project management.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to food security. More specifically, its objective is to ensure a sustainable increase in the productivity of natural resources in the Sudanese Zone.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the Sudanian zone of Chad with the exception of the departments of Kabia, Mayo Dallah and Lac Leré, which benefit from the interventions of the Project for Conservation and Management of Natural Resources financed by the German Cooperation. The population of the Sudanian zone is estimated at 3,040,880 inhabitants or 41% of the total population of Chad in 2004.

Chad - The Koumra-Sarh Road Development Project. This project concerns the Koumra-Sarh road section (110 km), which is one of the missing links of the Ndjamena-Moundou-Sarh corridor. The project will: (i) develop and tar 110 km of the Koumra-Sarh road section, (ii) carry out related works and specific actions for women  (iii) inspect and supervise the works  and (iv) provide support for project management, monitoring-evaluation, as well as audit of accounts. The development of the Koumra - Sarh road section will provide the missing link on the Moundou-Sarh corridor, since the Moundou-Doba and Doba-Koumra sections jointly financed by the European Development Fund (EDF) and Chad, are in progress. This highway will eventually link N’Djamena to Sarh and open up the country’s south, especially the oil-producing region of Doba. This region in South East Chad is also the country’s bread basket. The development of the road will also facilitate the transportation of agricultural surpluses to the rest of the country, especially N’Djamena, and will encourage the population of the project area (PA) to produce more, thus contributing to greater food security in the country. The total project cost, exclusive of taxes and custom duties, and including physical and financial contingencies, is estimated at UA 56.17 million or CFAF 42.76 billion.  At the sector level, the project aims at contributing to opening up the country and reducing transport costs. More specifically, the project seeks to improve the efficacy of the transport logistic chain, as well as acce
ssibility and mobility of the rural populations in South Chad (Mandoul and Moyen-Chari).  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the Mandoul and Moyen-Chari regions, the women's associations, the populations of the south-eastern Chad region, the transport operators and road users.

Chad - Kyabé-Singako Road Surfacing Project. This project concerns the Kyabé-Singako road section which is 72.3 km long and is one of the missing links of the Ndjamena-Moundou-Sarh-Kyabé-Am Timan corridor. It is designed because of the severe degradation of the road serving this area, coupled with its high volume of heavy vehicle traffic. The Kyabé-Singako highway forms part of the priority structuring network which the Chadian government is committed to developing to ensure countrywide coverage and all-season accessibility, and it is a link in the Moundou-Sarh-Abeche loop that will connect the southwest to the main town of the centre-east through the rich farmlands of Moyen Chari and Salamat Regions of the south. The project addresses the issue of facilitation of the country’s inland transport system by bringing the territory out of isolation, but also envisages opening the country up to the rest of the Region through neighbouring Sudan. The project includes ancillary works, namely the construction/improvement of feeder roads, the rehabilitation of socio-economic infrastructure and the development of social infrastructure for women. The expected outcomes are: reduction of overall transport costs in this region with high agro-pastoral potential and improvement of the living conditions of its people through increased access to health and educational facilities and to the country’s key consumer centres. The project implementation period is 4 years, for a total estimated cost of UA 80.298 million.  At sector level, the project aims to open up Chad’s central and eastern regions for their economic and social development and contribute to poverty alleviation among the local populations. Its specific objective is to improve the conditions of transport /movement of goods and people between Kyabe and Singako in particular and also between Sarh and Abeche, by developing all-season roads.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the Moyen-Chari region (which constitutes the expanded project area), transport operators and road users. The 72.3 km highway to be constructed between Kyabé and Singako is located in the Departement of Lac Iro and traverses 16 communities of three cantons (Kyabé, Koskobo and Singako ), which thus constitute the immediate project impact area.

INVENTAIRE AEPA RURAL. The institutional support project for DH (PAIDH) for updating the inventory of drinking water supply and sanitation facilities in rural Chad will allow the Government to have a better knowledge of existing infrastructures and the potential of the country's water resources to update the national program for drinking water supply and sanitation in rural areas. This project consists of strengthening the capacity of the Directorate of Hydraulics (DH) to enable it to be operational and to effectively assume the role assigned to it in the conduct of the updating of inventories and the treatment of their results. It has the following three components: (i) collection of inventory data  (ii) the processing and storage of the results of the inventory  (iii) Project management activities. Its funding is estimated at 470,265 euros.  The sectoral objective of the project is to contribute to improving the living conditions of rural populations through sustainable access to drinking water and sanitation. The project aims more specifically at: (i) update and perpetuate the comprehensive inventory of hydraulic works carried out in 2000 throughout the national territory  (ii) create the right conditions for adequate programming of the investments to be made under the Initiative  and (iii) strengthen the institutional and human management framework of the sector.  The Government through the Ministries in charge of Water, Public Health, Livestock and Agriculture, the people of Chad, donors, local communities as well as NGOs will benefit mainly from the interventions of this project.

Chad - Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Eight Secondary Centres and Surrounding Rural Areas. The Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Eight Secondary Centres and Surrounding Rural Areas is a continuation of the on-going Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (PNEAR). It stems from studies on fifteen secondary centres financed by the Bank. It is in keeping with Government strategy to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the 2010-2014 RBCSP and the Government’s 2010-2014 Action Plan, which is an offshoot of the Water and Sanitation Master Plan (2003-2020 WSMP). It covers the four regions of Tandjilé, Mayo-Kebbi East, Mayo-Kebbi West and Mandoul. By 2017, the following access rates would have been achieved in the target areas: 60% for drinking water (compared to 32% in 2011) and 30% for sanitation (compared to 11% in 2011). The average water-borne disease prevalence rate should fall from 23% to 16% over the period. The project should be implemented over five years. Costing UA 22.58 million, it should be financed from the resources of ADF, the RWSSI Trust Fund and contributions from the Government and beneficiaries.  The project goal is to contribute to improving the living conditions of the population of secondary centres and the surrounding rural areas by increasing access to safe water and an improved sanitation system.  The project should directly benefit about 802,300 people( approximately 30% of the project area’s population) by 2017, in terms of drinking water, and 152,437 people for improved sanitation. Thus the average disease prevalence rate related to water and sanitation will fall from 23 % in 2010 to 16% in 2017. The project should create 800 temporary jobs during the implementation phase and on completion, about 474 full-time jobs, 52% of which will be for women. In addition, the MHUR, MSP, municipalities, Water Point Management Committees ( WPMCs), Water User Associations (WUAs) and the Management Advisory and Support Unit (CCAG) should benefit from capacity building in planning and project management. The private sector should benefit from the project by participating in contracts for goods, works and services.

Chad - Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (PNEAR). The present Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (PNEAR) has sub-programs including the Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (DWSS). This sub-program for drinking water supply and sanitation (DWSS) responds, on the one hand, to the Government of Chad's concern to ensure an equitable development of the different regions of the country and to correct the shortcomings noted, in accordance with the new water policy and the decentralization's policy and regional balance, and, on the other hand, the Bank Group's willingness to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals through the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative.

Chad - Institutional Support to the "Office National des Postes et Télécommunications (ONPT)". The proposed project is an institutional support to the National Post and Telecommunications Board of Chad. The Bank granted a loan of FUA 16.40 million to the Government of Chad in December 1986 to finance the Telecommunications Infrastructure Rehabilitation (TIR) Project. A project management unit was established within the Telecommunications Department. During the aircrash that occurred on 19/09/1989, the telecommunications director and the project manager died. This incident, whose gravity was quickly discerned was likely to threaten the steady progress of the project and hinder its continuation. For this reason, it was deemed necessary to provide institutional support to ONPT in the form of technical assistance and contribution to the training of its high-level staff. The project thus defined should make it possible to overcome difficulties brought about by the deaths and to ensure the smooth continuation of the TIR project. The institutional support to be granted to ONPT is made up of the following three components: (i) recruitment of three technical assistants to assist the project director, the project manager and the official responsible for the national frequency management office  (ii) training of 5 high level telecommunications engineers, 2 principal telecommunications inspectors, 2 officers respectively specialized in finance and financial analysis  (iii) procurement of equipment and logistic support equipment (all-purpose vehicles, motorcycle, batch of office equipment, micro-computer with printer and terminals).  The Bank’s grant is intended to provide institutional support to ONPT following the tragic death of some its technical officers and to enable ONPT to continue the Telecommunications Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project under the most efficient conditions, thereby avoiding possible cost overruns likely to hinder the smooth progress of the project.  The project will benefit the Government of Chad through the National Post and Telecommunications Board (ONPT).

Chad - Telecommunications Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project. The proposed project, which falls into line with a basic telecommunications infrastructure rehabilitation programme of Chad, is of high priority to the Government. The project is therefore intended to install modern telephone exchanges of an adequate capacity, rehabilitate the cable networks of the country’s largest towns, N’Djamena, Sarh, Moundou and Abeche. It covers a great deal of ground in strengthening Chad’s economic activities. The project is also intended to strengthen the executing Agency’s technical, accounting and administrative management structures and upgrade the qualifications of technical maintenance staff. It will thus contribute to the preparation of a future telecommunications master plan indispensable to a more efficient planning of investments. The project will revive activities in the telecommunications sector by rehabilitating and reinforcing telephone services offered to users. It will help to interconnect Abeche and N’Djamena via a new HF link, rehabilitate the networks of Moundou, Sarh, Abeche and N’Djamena and provide Moundou, Sarh, Abeche with new automatic telephone exchanges of adequate capacity  it will contribute to opening up prefectures and sub-prefectures by providing for the Installation of new and modern HF links. The project will be implemented over a period of about 3 years.  The project is aimed at giving further impetus to the main activities of the telecommunications sector. Another purpose of the project is not only to open up prefectures and sub-prefectures by providing them with modern and convenient HF links in this phase, but also to ensure rapid and efficient circulation of information throughout the country under the most favourable conditions.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Government of Chad, the sector operators and users of Chad's telecommunications services.

Chad - Education Project V - Strengthening of Technical Education and Vocational Training. This project falls within the implementation of the sectoral support programme for the 2000-2004 period approved by donors at the Education Sector Round Table organized in January 2000. It will contribute to solving the problem of a link between general secondary education and technical education and vocational training as indicated in a recent study by UNESCO as one of the causes for the large numbers of secondary school leavers on the market without any professional qualifications. The project, which will be implemented for four (4) years, has the following five (5) components: (i) Strengthening of technical and vocational secondary education  (ii) Support for the Vocational Training and Retraining Centre (CFPP)  (iii) Support for agricultural training  (iv) Support for the Management Mechanism of the National Education/Training/Employment Programme (EFE)  (v) Project management. The total cost, exclusive of customs duties and taxes, is estimated at UA 7.485 million.  The project aims at strengthening Technical Education and Vocational Training (TEVT) quantitatively and qualitatively and revitalizing it so that it can meet the needs of the economy and the society, as well as contribute to fuller integration of youths into working life, and therefore into the country’s socio-economic development. This entails laying the bases for a proactive and sustainable TEVT mechanism that can adapt to the changing needs of the environment. The objective is to reduce regional disparities, and inequalities between girls and boys as regards access to TEVT, to create a network of TEVT institutions that can train skilled labour, and to prepare young boys and girls leaving or dropping out from primary and secondary schools for fuller integration into working life by giving them appropriate vocational qualification, and thereby contribute to poverty reduction.  The targetted age group is between 15 and 25 years. In the beneficiary rural areas, the project will contribute to settling the youths in the villages and fighting against rural exodus to the towns, while offering them the possibility to improve their living conditions. By strengthening the link between primary education and general secondary education, on the one hand, and technical and vocational training on the other, the project will contribute to partially solving the problem of the future of thousands of young girls and boys who leave primary and secondary schools (with or without certificates) without professional qualification and cannot therefore find jobs or be self-employed.

Chad - Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project - Education IV. The Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project (Education IV) which is a centre-piece of the Government’s policy on education is aimed at assisting the Ministry of National Education (MEN) in its effort to revitalize the education infrastructure at the secondary level in the five prefectures through the rehabilitation of five high schools. This new Education Project IV ADF, falls within the continuity of the previous projects where emphasis was put not only on the development of elementary education in BET but also on the original and continuing training of teaching, inspection and supervision personnel of secondary schools owing to the staff increase in ENS and INSE and the rehabilitation of a CEG and two high schools in N’Djamena. The project is a logical continuation of the first three ADF-funded projects. Furthermore, the project will reduce the concentration of staff in N’Djamena by creating conditions more conducive for studies within the country. It will also provide better initial and permanent education for teachers of the two cycles as well as for managers, inspectors and pedagogical advisers. The project which has been submitted to ADF for financing will actually upgrade general secondary education in Chad qualitatively and quantitatively which is perfectly in line with the Bank’s policy regarding education and training. The project will take four (4) years to implement.  The aim of the project is to improve General Secondary Education infrastructures in the Borkou region, the prefectures of Batha, Logone-oriental, Guera, Tandjile and N’Djamena, the country’s capital. The specific objectives are: (i) the rehabilitation of the following five secondary schools: High schools of Faya, Ati, Doba, Mongo and Kelo  (ii) extension of secondary education in N’Djamena through the construction of the Am’Rikele GSE  (iii) training of secondary school staff such as teachers, inspectors, pedagogical advisers, headmasters, bursars, and maintenance staff  (iv) support to the “Direction Nationale des Projets Education (DNPE)”.  The project beneficiaries are the Ministry of National Education (MEN) and populations.

Chad - Business Climate Improvement and Economic Diversification Support Project. The Business Climate Improvement and Economic Diversification Support Project (PACADET) is designed to promote private sector development and economic diversification in order to lay the groundwork for inclusive economic development in Chad. Indeed, The private sector remains poorly developed, characterized by a dual structure in which a few large firms coexist with a myriad of small businesses of the informal sector. Very small enterprises (VSEs) account for 91% of all enterprises, small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for about 3% and major enterprises, backed mainly by foreign capital, make up about 6%. The main challenges and constraints faced in promoting medium-and long-term development of the private sector are three fold : (i) weakness of the legislative, institutional and regulatory framework   (ii) difficulties in accessing financing, especially for SMEs  and lastly (iii) weak supervisory and supportstructures. Several results are expected from the implementation in the short-term, like: (i) a reduction in the cost and time it takes to start a business  (ii) a reduction in the time it takes to issue land titles, etc. The total project cost is estimated at UA 5.89 million, of which UA 4.30 million will be in foreign exchange (73%) and UA 1.60 million in local currency (27%). The project consists of three components: (I) Support for public and private dialogue and reform of the investment climate  and (II) Support for entrepreneurship and investment promotion  a third component (III) is devoted to project management and coordination.  The PACADET’s objective is to foster private sector development to drive strong and inclusive economic growth. Its operational objectives include: (i) improving the business climate through the identification and implementation of the necessary key reforms  and (ii) building entrepreneurial and investment capacity.  The direct beneficiaries are public administration, the private sector, entrepreneurs in the country and the entire Chadian population. Economic operators will take advantage of the improved business climate to accelerate the development of their businesses, while the people, on their part, will benefit from better prices and the improved employment situation brought about by the positive developments in the competitive environment and national production landscape.

Chad - Feasibility for the Development of 135 000 Ha of Irrigation Schemes. This project will support the preparation of a programme for irrigation development over an area of 135,000 ha. It concerns studies to create an enabling environment for investment in the irrigation subsector as a means of contributing to the reduction of food and nutritional insecurity, and spurring agricultural sector growth. The proposed studies will help the Chadian Government to prepare a programme for the development of irrigation over an area of 135,000 ha. The study will be conducted in three phases over a cumulative period of 11 months. However, the overall estimated duration of the project is a maximum of 24 months, including the time required to recruit the consultant, liaise and validate the documents. Its total cost is estimated at UA 800,000 (EUR 952, 000), net of taxes and duties. A dossier will be prepared at the end of the studies and submitted to the Government, which will be the basis for the organisation of a donors’ round table to mobilise resources for financing the first tranche of the 18,000 ha priority sites.  This study will generate relevant information on the situation of hydro-agricultural facilities as well as the potential development sites, for future actions. Through this new study, the Bank will assist the Government to build national capacity for planning and investment in the irrigated farming subsector and will prepare a pipeline of bankable and feasible projects in the short term as part of its strategy to improve food security through agricultural water control and management.  The operation's target beneficiary will be the government through the Ministry of Agriculture and mainly the Directorate of Rural Engineering and Agricultural Water, which would have a coherent framework of interventions to catalyse investments in irrigated farming as well as adapted and appropriate methodological skills and tools for monitoring and understanding the sub-sector. The results of the various studies will provide a source of relevant information for future actions to be undertaken by private individuals, NGOs and grassroots community organizations. Indirectly and in the long term, the outcomes of these activities will benefit the Chadian people through increased and diversified access to agricultural production and beyond, to a varied and quality food supply and a significant improvement in income.

Chad - Economic Governance and Extractive Sector Support Project PASEGE. The proposed operation concerns the award of a grant of UA 7.07 million from the resources of the African Development Fund (ADF) to the Republic of Chad to finance the Economic Governance and Extractive Sector Support Project (PAGESE). PAGESE has been designed in harmony with the Transition Roadmap, whose three strategic axes are: (i) strengthening security and defence  (ii) organizing dialogue, consolidating social peace and national unity  and (iii) strengthening good governance and the rule of law (including the modernization of public finances). The project aims to support the country in gradually reducing several drivers of its fragility, particularly those related to the economic situation, in the context of the end of the Covid-19 crisis and the impact of the war in Ukraine. The main reason for the Bank's intervention is the need to continue to strengthen the resilience of Chad, which remains a fragile state. The project has three (3) components: (i) Strengthen fiscal policy effectiveness  (ii) Strengthen extractive sector governance  and (iii) Project management support. It will be implemented in 48 months on the national territory of Chad.

Finally, targeted beneficiaries also include the 300,000 artisanal and small-scale miners, especially young people and women, who will benefit from the capacity building offered by the Ministry of Mines in the Mayo Kebbi and Guera regions.

DRC - Support Programme in Response to the COVID-19 Crisis (PABRC). The Budget Support Program in Response to the Covid-19 Crisis for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (PABURC-RDC) aims to support the multisectoral and mitigation program for the impacts of Covid-19 (PMUAC), developed by the Government of the DRC, aimed at controlling the pandemic and mitigating its negative economic and social effects. According to the Ministry of Health, the DRC recorded its first case of Covid-19 on March 10, 2020 and the first death on March 21, 2020. As of August 28, 2020, the country recorded 9,994 confirmed cases, 9,035 recovered 255 deaths out of a total of 53,534 tests performed. Community contaminations are increasing rapidly, raising fears of accelerated spread that could overwhelm limited resources in the health sector. The health crisis linked to Covid19 and the evolution of the spread of the virus could pose a serious threat to the living conditions of the populations, given the context of the country's fragility. The programme consists of two components: (i) support health response and social protection and (ii) support business resilience and economic recovery. This is an ADF loan of 30.72 million units of account (UA), an ADF grant of UA 42.61 million and an TSF grant of UA 26.67 million, for a total of UA 100 million. It will be implemented over a period of 12 months from October 2020.  The overall objective of PABRC is to support the health and social response to the Covid-19 crisis and to mitigate the economic impact on the productive sectors in order to allow a rapid post-crisis economic recovery. More specifically, the program seeks to strengthen the country's capacities for screening and health and social care of populations, in particular vulnerable groups. It will also help to strengthen the resilience and recovery of the country's economy, through targeted actions and the implementation of structural reforms to support inclusive post-crisis growth. The expected results are: (i) control of the spread of Covid-19  (ii) the increase in public resources allocated to the health sector  (iii) strengthening the resilience of the most vulnerable populations  and (iv) the preservation of the productive tool.  The programme will benefit the entire Congolese population through the implementation of measures to strengthen the resilience of the health system and its capacity to cater for COVID-19 patients. Vulnerable social groups will also benefit from food kits and donations in kind and cash. Similarly, Congolese entrepreneurs and foreign investors will be supported through tax exemptions, financial support, and an improved business climate to help sustain the productive sector and safeguard employment.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Rural Economy Integrated Development Support Project (PROADER). The present intervention relates to the Rural Economy Integrated Development Support Project (PROADER). It aims to promote a dynamic and prosperous rural economy by improving agricultural and rural socioeconomic services, and by diversifying and enhancing agricultural production. PROADER is consistent with the 2013-2017 Country Strategy Paper (CSP), extended respectively to the end of 2018 and the end of 2020. This document comprises the two pillars which are: (i) development of private investment and regional integration support infrastructure and (ii) building central government’s capacity to increase public revenue and create an enabling framework for private investment. The project will help to strengthen the structural transformation of the rural and agricultural sector, which offers a real opportunity to diversify the country's economy and create jobs. The expected project benefits are the increase in rural household income, the reduction in chronic malnutrition among children under five, the increased share of the agricultural sector in the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the enhanced resilience of rural households. It will be implemented in the rural areas of Kasaï-Central, Kasaï, Kasaï-Oriental, Kwilu, Kwango, Kongo Central and Mai-Ndombe Provinces. PROADER is structured around four (04) main components, namely: (a) local governance and institutional capacity building  (b) promotion of productive and social investments  and (c) project coordination and management.  The overall project objective is to promote a vibrant and prosperous rural economy. The specific objectives are to improve productive and social investments to make the rural environment more attractive and productive, and to promote private sector development, agricultural and rural entrepreneurship with a view to fostering the diversification and enhancement of agricultural production.  The project will target mainly small family farms, producer organisations (POs) and their unions, cooperatives and micro-, small- and medium-sized agricultural and rural enterprises (MPMEARs) upstream and downstream of the production chain. The other PROADER beneficiaries are the EDTs, central and devolved State public entities, and specialised private agricultural enterprises operating in the targeted production basins that not only provide support services, including agricultural extension services and inputs, but also add value through the processing of agricultural products.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Project to Support the Development of Agricultural Value Chains in Six Provinces in DRC (PADCA-6P). The Agricultural Value Chains Development Support Project in six provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (PADCA-6P) aims to sustainably improve food and nutrition security and increase the incomes of the target population. It’s designed in a context characterized by a food deficit estimated between 20 and 30% (depending on the region). It will be implemented over a five-year period (2019-2024) for a total cost of UA 22.153 million in the provinces of Kwilu, Kasaï, Haut Iomami, Iomami, Maniema, and Tshopo. The project design is based on the value chain approach and takes into account the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) programme initiative which aims to contribute significantly to: (i) increasing agricultural productivity and production by identifying and disseminating appropriate farming technologies  (ii) conducting training and extension campaigns for the adoption of good farming practices through the effective provision of technologies to farmers  and (iii) promoting a plant sub-sector development policy. The project will comprise the following three components: (1) Plant Sub-sector Development  (2) Institutional Support, Improvement of Governance and Capacity Building  as well as (3) Project Coordination, Management and Monitoring and Evaluation.  The project’s sector objective is to contribute to sustainably improving food and nutrition security. It specific objective is to improve agricultural production by: (i) increasing the productivity of the growth sub-sectors, namely cassava, maize, bean/cowpeas, and rice  (ii) building the capacity of stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of investments in value chains  and (iii) promoting youth and women’s entrepreneurship.  Near 1,768,825 rural households, including 60% of women, will benefit directly from the project. Given that the average size of a household is about six (6) people, 10.612.950 people will therefore benefit directly from the project. The benefits will take several forms, including capacity building in the use of modern farming techniques, innovations and good farming practices. Besides the rural households that will benefit directly from the project, about 3,353,650 households would benefit indirectly from the project through the dissemination of farming technologies, innovations and good practices among the direct project beneficiaries.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Support Project for Alternative Welfare of Children and Young People Involved in the Cobalt Supply Chain (PABEA-COBALT). The Support the Alternative Welfare of Children and Young People Involved in the Cobalt Supply Chain Project (PABEA-COBALT) is designed is order to ensure the social reintegration of about 14,850 children (girls and boys) working in cobalt mines. It covers Lualaba and Haut-Katanga Provinces, which hold more than 65% of global cobalt reserves. The project supports the implementation of the “National Strategy for the Exit of Children from the Copper and Cobalt Ore Production Chain in Haut-Katanga and Lualaba Provinces", of which Thrust 1 focuses on "reducing the economic vulnerability of households by promoting agricultural cooperatives and entrepreneurship". The extreme household poverty being the real cause of this scourge and that improving the living conditions of households is the most effective way of eliminating it, the project will ensure the socio-economic reconversion of the children’s 6,250 parents (all young) to the agricultural sector, which has the greatest potential for economic diversification. It will create 11,250 direct jobs and thousands of indirect job, and will restructure 1,250 youth agricultural cooperatives. The PABEA-COBALT comprises three components, namely: (i) support for the promotion of alternative economic opportunities and improvement of the living conditions of the populations in the project area  (ii) institutional support for the promotion of the responsible supply chain for cobalt ores  and (iii) project management (including implementation of the ESMP).  The project’s objective is to contribute to improving the living conditions of people in the Lualaba and Haut-Katanga Provinces and establishing a responsible cobalt ore supply chain in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  The direct project beneficiaries are 14,850 children (below 18 years of age) and 6,250 (all young: 18-34 years) children’s parents working in cobalt mines. These people in general expressed themselves on the precariousness of their work. The project will also benefit the Government through institutional support for the establishment of a permanent mechanism to combat child labour in mines. The aim is to support a permanent framework for consultation between stakeholders to promote the social responsibility of mining companies and ensure better mobilisation and channelling of societal royalties provided for in the provisions of the new Mining Code, and thereby extend the elimination of child labour to other mines throughout the country.

Democratic Republic of Congo - National Road No.1 Rehabilitation Project: Kinshasa/Ndjili – Batshamba Section. The project will focus on rehabilitating the Kinshasa/Ndjili-Kenge-KikwitBatshamba road section, which covers 622 km. It links Kinshasa, the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to Mai Ndombe, Kwango, Kwilu and Kassaï provinces. The Kinshasa-Batshamba link, including the 72.80-km Kwango-Kenge section financed by the Bank, is currently an enormously difficult stretch to travel due to the degradation of the roadway and many erosion areas that could cause the road to collapse. This degradation is partly due to the poor choice of the base course (cement base on the sandy loam soil of Batéké Plateaux). The Kinshasa/Ndjili-Kenge-Kikwit-Batshamba road section (622 km), which is the focus of this project, is part of the National Road No. 1 (RN1) from Moanda to Kasumbalesa. The RN1 is the backbone and main transformative highway of the road transport system in DRC. It connects Banana and Matadi ports to major cities in the west of the country, particularly Lubumbashi in the south, to the Zambian border, over about 3,130 km. Given the importance of this road for the country's economic and social development and the access it provides to the interior, as well as its key role in intra-regional trade, the Government has devoted most funding from donors involved in the transport sector to its gradual rehabilitation. The project route follows the existing road and covers land with very variable relief. The project will improve the service level of the RN1 and access to Kinshasa, the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as to Kwango, Kwilu and Kasai Provinces. It will also help improve food security, increase the availability of agricultural products, reduce travel time, and build the capacity of support services, vocational training and social reintegration structures, and grassroots communities. The total project cost, excluding customs duties and taxes, is estimated at UA 50.57 million. The project will be financed entirely by the Bank through a loan from its ADF window.  The project’s overall objective is to help open up the country and reduce poverty among the population. The project objective is to safeguard and ensure sustainability of investments made in the sector, maintain the RN1 in improved and secure condition throughout the year to facilitate connectivity between local built-up areas, and ensure traffic flow from Matadi to Batshamba.  The project beneficiaries are the population of the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo and Mai Ndombe, Kwango, and Kwilu provinces (19,344,000 inhabitants), as well as the road users (traders, farmers, drivers, handlers, etc.).

Democratic Republic of Congo - Priority Air Safety Project Phase II (PPSA II). The Priority Air Safety Project (PPSA) in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is consistent with the Integrated National Transport Master Plan (PDNIT) financed by the Bank in 2016, which identifies the aviation sector as crucial to implementation of the national passenger transport policy and the country’s economic influence. The project’s phase I (PPSA I), launched in November 2010, yielded satisfactory results in terms of an infrastructure upgrade in the three main airports of Ndjili, Lubumbashi and Kisangani  provision of navigation aids for the DRC airspace   and human capacity building. The proposed Phase II (PPSA II), which builds on PPSA I, was designed based on detailed studies on the three project sites as well as a safety assessment conducted by the Civil Aviation Authority at the Mbuji-Mayi site. These initiatives spotlighted the operational constraints caused by obsolete infrastructure that has adverse effects on air safety, passenger and freight traffic trends and the quality of services provided to customers. PPSA II, thus, improves and strengthens not only the infrastructure but also the DRC's level of compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) safety and air navigation requirements.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Agricultural and Rural Sector Rehabilitation Support Project in Bandundu and Bas Congo Provinces (PARSAR). The Agricultural and Rural Sector Rehabilitation Support Project in the provinces of Bandundu and Bas-Congo (PARSAR) aims to ensure the rapid revival of the agricultural and rural sector in the both provinces. It's initiated because of the willingness of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to resume cooperation with its development partners in the implementation of its multi-sectoral emergency, rehabilitation and reconstruction program (PMURR). The actions undertaken under this project should also contribute to consolidating the revitalization of the national reconciliation process and supporting the decentralization process in the context of the country's still fragile socio-political situation. The PARSAR is organized around three (3) main components, namely: (A) institutional support and capacity building  (B) support for agricultural production  and (C) rehabilitation of basic socio-economic infrastructure.  The sectoral objective of the project is to strengthen food security. Its specific objective is the revival of agricultural production in the two provinces (Bandundu and Bas-Congo) through the production and dissemination of improved seeds by organized producers within seed groups, the improvement of the conditions of conservation and evacuation of production.  The main direct beneficiaries of the project are: (i) almost 1,125,000 farmers practicing agriculture as the main economic activity in the project area, (ii) more particularly farmers, of whom women represent about 60% of the members of the groups or producers' associations, (iii) approximately 133,000 agricultural producers, 50% of whom are women trained and supplied with improved seeds, (iv) 2,600 seed multipliers and more than 150 field agents trained in seed multiplication and specific production techniques, (v) approximately 163,500 persons benefiting from the jobs created, and (vi) finally more than 80,000 people, mostly women, benefiting from improved hygiene and sanitation conditions. The other direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project are: (i) local communities and traders from different horizons taking advantage of the establishment of basic infrastructures, (ii) private promoters of production support services, (iii) technical services of ministries involved in agricultural and rural development, national training, research and development structures and partners, and (iv) private economic operators involved in carrying out PARSAR activities.

Chad - Drinking water supply and sanitation program in semi-urban and rural areas (PAEPA SU MR 2). This project concerns the Semi-Urban and Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme in Eleven Regions (PEAPA-SUMR– Phase 2). The programme aims to contribute to improving the well-being of people living in semi-urban and rural areas through greater access to drinking water and sanitation. By investing in the construction of social and rural infrastructure in areas affected by fragility, the programme will help to build resilient societies, reduce isolation, bridge gender inequalities, promote inclusive economic development and strengthen access to basic health services. The construction of drinking water and sanitation infrastructure will make it possible to: (i) improve the drinking water and sanitation access rates  (ii) reduce the distances travelled by women and girls in search of water  (iii) improve the population’s hygiene and health  and (iv) strengthen women’s economic power and water sector stakeholders’ technical skills. In addition, the programme will address key drivers of social fragility in the country, such as exposure to water-borne diseases, poor access to drinking water, inter-community conflicts (herders and farmers), unemployment among young people and women (particularly widows) and involuntary displacement. The construction of large-diameter agricultural boreholes equipped with solar pumps, lay-out of vegetable gardens for small-scale irrigation for women's groups, management of household waste along the entire value chain (collection, transport, sorting and recycling of plastic waste, etc.) to promote the circular economy and reuse of sludge for composting will help to create jobs and empower women economically.  The programme’s overall objective is to help improve the living conditions of people in semi-urban and rural areas by providing access to drinking water and sanitation. Specifically, the programme aims to: (i) provide programme area communities with sustainable access to drinking water  (ii) strengthen access to sanitation services by increasing the coverage rate of public latrines in markets, bus stations, health centres and schools  (iii) strengthen women’s economic empowerment by creating development hubs around DWSS and household waste management infrastructure  and (iv) build the capacity of water sector players and beneficiary communities to better manage the facilities constructed.  The beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the intervention zone of phase 2 of the programme, which covers the following provinces: Ennedi East (town of Amdjarass and surrounding area), Mandoul, Moyen Chari, Mayo Kebbi East, Mayo Kebbi West, Salamat and Sila. The choice of these provinces was based on the high level of water and sanitation demand, with low rates of access to drinking water (Mandoul 39%, Mayo Kebbi East 22%, Mayo Kebbi West 13%, Moyen Chari 42%, Salamat 40% and Sila 27%) and a high rate of water-borne diseases.

Chad - Electricity Sector Support Project in Chad (PASET). PASET is in line with “the Chad we want” 2030 vision which is structured around four thrusts: (i) consolidating national unity  (ii) strengthening good governance and the rule of law  (iii) developing a diversified and competitive economy  and (iv) improving the quality of life of the Chadian population. The Bank's intervention is justified by the need to support Chad in its efforts to gradually emerge from economic and social fragility by helping to address the energy crisis. Thus, this intervention will make it possible to help Chad in the implementation of reforms and the building of infrastructure to address the main constraints and challenges facing the electricity sub-sector. The project builds on previous interventions by the Bank and other TFPs, such as the Chad-Cameroon Interconnection (PIRECT) and boosts their positive impacts. It is divided into three (3) components: i) Service Quality Improvement  ii) Governance Improvement  and iii) Project Administration and Management. PASET comes with an innovative element through the sub-component which involves the hybridisation of the three isolated centres in Bol, Bongor and Biltine. The total project cost, excluding taxes and customs, is currently estimated at UA 16.539 million.  The project aims at improving access and the quality of electricity supply. The project’s specific objectives include: (i) increasing the capacity to produce clean and sustainable electricity to meet growing electricity demand, especially in under-privileged areas  (ii) reducing electricity production cost in certain localities  and (iii) contributing to the improvement of SNE’s technical, financial and commercial performance.  The project directly targets 15,000 new subscribers who will benefit from improved access to electricity and the monitoring of their electricity consumption through the prepaid metre programme. The project will benefit about 75,000 people, but the benefits will be felt by the country’s entire population. Furthermore, the service quality improvement will cover the entire customer base, which stood at 50,000 customers at end-2021 (private and public), corresponding to a population of about 225,000 people. An improvement in SNE’s technical, financial and commercial performance will lead to better electricity supply with acceptable service quality to the population, as well as to private and public companies. Thus, PASET could contribute to the enhancement of the competitiveness of formal businesses and the informal sector.

Chad - Nubian sandstone aquifer knowledge and development project for resilience. This intervention relates to the Development of the Nubian Sandstone Table for Climate Change Resilience (NUREC) (PPF Phase). The project is in line with the national strategic planning document "the 2030 vision of the Chad we want", which reflects the will and decision of the highest authorities of the Republic of Chad and the desire and commitment to build long-term development in order to meet the legitimate aspirations of the population. The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer Development Project is a Chadian government initiative aimed at exploiting the fresh groundwater resources in northern Chad, which is a desert area. The level of knowledge of these resources is limited to scant data from summary hydrogeological investigations carried out in the project area. However, interpolations of data from neighbouring countries (Libya, Egypt and Sudan) and satellite data confirm the importance of these water resources. The Bank's current contribution will help finance detailed technical studies to gain a better understanding of the Nubian Sandstone fossil aquifer, with a view to developing it not only for drinking water supply, but also for other income-generating activities in the agricultural and livestock sectors, to ensure that the people of Chad remain resilient to climate change in the long term.  The aim of the project, which is the subject of this PPF, is to study the potential and characteristics of the Nubian sandstone aquifer in the Ennedi and Borkou regions, with a view to developing it in order to improve the living conditions of the local population and livestock by lightening the load of fetching water and limiting the risks associated with water-borne diseases, by building hydraulic structures that provide sufficient quality water on a permanent basis.  The main beneficiaries of this project are the agricultural authorities, players and stakeholders in the sector and, indirectly, the local population in the target area.

The direct beneficiaries targeted by the project are essentially the main structures of the judicial system, the auxiliaries of justice, the NGOs active in access to justice as well as the local communities in the 8 regions of the country including the autonomous sector of Bissau. Within the framework of PARCI-SJ, 4735 people will benefit from training, including 300 civil servants from the justice sector, 35 agents from the access to justice centres (CAJ), 400 members of civil society and 4000 people from local communities.

Guinea Bissau - Rice Value Chain Development Project in the Bafata and Oio Regions. The Rice Value Chain Development Project (PDCV-Riz) in the Bafata and Oio regions will help to improve productivity and production in the flagship sector for food security: rice. The country has an annual rice deficit of more than 80 000 tonnes. The project will also develop market gardening, the current production of which covers only 60% of needs, for certain sites and school canteens. This activity will help to improve the nutritional status of the beneficiary population, particularly women and children. The project will serve as a catalyst for agricultural development in the area by facilitating water control, strengthening agricultural infrastructure, promoting sustainable production, packaging and processing technologies, and facilitating access to product markets by supporting the development of the strategic sectors of rice and market gardening. Lasting four years, PDCV-Riz revolves around three main components: (i) Modernization and development of agricultural infrastructure  (ii) Development of value chains  and (iii) Project management.  The overall objective of PDCV-Riz is to help improve nutritional and food security and reduce poverty across the country. Its specific objective is to ensure sustainable recovery of the rice value chain in the Bafata and Oio regions by improving productivity, strengthening infrastructure, ensuring resilience to climate change, managing natural agricultural resources in a sustainable manner and reducing gender inequality.  The project will affect close to 1 720 farmers directly, 55% of whom will be women, representing about 12 000 members of agricultural households. It will have an indirect impact on approximately 60 000 people.

Liberia - Special Agro Industrial Processing Zone Project - Additional Financing. The proposed operation concerns an additional funding from the African Development Fund (ADF - 15) amounting to UA 2.17 million in ADF Loan and UA 0.06 million in ADF Grant to the Republic of Liberia to enhance implementation success for the overall Liberia Special Agro Industrial Processing Zone Project (Liberia SAPZ). The rationale for the supplementary financing follows from the reallocation of unutilized loan and grant resources from the ADF 15 allocation for the Republic of Liberia. The additional financial resources will be used to provide additional capacity building (Component 2) along the value chains in key SAPZ commodities for farmer groups, cover the cost of equipment for industrial skills training, and salaries of 3 full-time consultants to complement existing project staff. These additional activities will be perfectly feasible in the current planning of Liberia SAPZ implementation, which will help increase the outcomes of this project, especially by providing capacity and improving access to agricultural inputs and the aggregation of agricultural output for agro-industrial processing by rural households and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).  This additional financing will be used to fund the additional capacity building activities listed below under Component 2 of the project: (i) Capacity Building for Commodity Out growers, Farmer Groups, and Cooperatives  (ii) Business Development Support (BDS) and Training for MSME’s and Young Entrepreneurs  and (iii) Support Development of Quality and Relevant Skills for Agro-Industrialization in two Colleges. The ADF funding will also finance training equipment in the Grand Bassa County College and pay for full time consultants (namely Gender Expert, Environment and Social Safeguards Officer, and M&E Expert that were to be initially engaged on an ad hoc basis) to ensure achievement of the project’s expected outcomes.  The project will benefit, directly, farming households and communities, the youth, women, agribusiness MSMEs and staff of related public institutions. The project will also benefit, indirectly, rural populations in the coverage areas. Through linkages to agro-processing firms in the Liberia SAPZs, about 130,000 farming households in farmer groups, within the Agri Hub and ATC catchment area in the Counties will benefit from improved access to organized markets, and motivation to increased productivity, reduced post-harvest losses, as well as more predictable and increased incomes arising from better price discovery. The key commodities of focus are rice, cassava, oil palm, coffee, cocoa, rubber, fruits and vegetables, and aquaculture.

Liberia - Payments Infrastructure and Systems Upgrade. The proposed project seeks to address the current inefficiencies in two key CBL payment systems, the ACP/ACH and the RTGS, as well as the main and recovery site data centres. The project aims to upgrade the aforementioned systems and infrastructure to acceptable industry standard and facilitate the implementation of a National Electronic Payment Switch. It will primarily impact the CBL and government ministries involved in payments, as well as commercial banks and their customers, all of whom will experience improved services. A secondary but critical outcome of the primary development objective will be increased inclusion and fostering of regional integration through technological upgrade required standards. The project will, in turn, enable the banks and non-banks to build customer confidence and greater reach, by developing additional financial services such as digital loans, savings, insurance, etc. Increased demand for digital financial services, in turn, means there will be demand for other solutions such as ecommerce platforms. It has four main components, namely: (1) the upgrade of the Automated Cheque Processing (ACP) and Automated Clearing House (ACH)  (2) the upgrade of the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system  (3) the upgrade of the climate-resilient and energy-efficient Main Data Centre and Disaster Recovery Site  and (4) the project management.  Liberia’s Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) 2018 to 2023 and National Financial Inclusion Strategy 2019-2023 both seek to augment inclusion through increased access to finance and improved infrastructure. As one of the WAMZ countries, Liberia also subscribes to the agenda for greater integration through modernisation of payment systems. The project’s primary objective is to strengthen the payments ecosystem in Liberia for increased efficiency.  The primary beneficiaries are the Central Bank of Liberia, bank and select nonbank institutions. It will help the Central Bank of Liberia to improve its services to its customers (banks and non-banks). This will build confidence in the system. Once the full suite of systems is operational (ACH/ACP, RTGS, DR Site and NEPs), it will enable the creation of a robust credit bureau and linkage to the national ID project. Banks and non-banks can execute KYC processes and extend digital financial services such as micro loans, savings, pension, secured and unsecured lending (leveraging data score) etc., to MSMEs, farmers and other unbanked populations in Liberia.

Liberia - Program for Advancing Youth Entrepreneurship Investment (PAYEI) - Project A: Liberian Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Bank. The Liberia Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Bank (YEIB) supports the Government of Liberia’s (GoL) 2018 to 2023 Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD). The project builds on the achievements of the Bank-financed (FAPA/TSFP-III). The Liberia YEIB is a pillar of the Program for Advancing Youth Entrepreneurship Investment (PAYEI). The YEIB will provide financial and nonfinancial services to the youth to start and scale their businesses by strengthening the overall entrepreneurship ecosystem and its stakeholders. The YEIB offers a coherent offer of services that will support the entrepreneurship journey of the youth. The YEIB will forge multi-stakeholder partnerships to mobilize capital to invest and coordinate the delivery of financial and nonfinancial services for entrepreneurs in a systemic, structured, scalable, and sustainable manner. The YEIB will be a youth-focused institution set up to unlock finance, market access, and development services for target youth-businesses.  The overarching goal of the Project is to strengthen financial and non-financial business service to young women and men entrepreneurs in ways that ensure inclusion, decrease vulnerabilities, and prepare for resilience and long-term sustainability of service provision. The project aims to: (1) Strengthen institutional stewardship and oversight of youth entrepreneurship support ecosystem  (2) Develop a Youth Entrepreneurship Investment Bank (YEIB) and its related entities.  The Liberian youth as defined in the country is the population aged between 15 and 35 years old, both male and female. The YEIB will cater to the youth entrepreneurship population or aspiring entrepreneurs, aged between 18 and 35 years old, the ultimate beneficiary of the YEIB services. A segmentation of the youth into entrepreneurs, youth-in-training and out-of-school-out-of-work youth is key to defining the type of training and capacity building and financial services delivered by the YEIB. The YEIB distinguishes the services that it delivers directly to its main target, versus those that it unlocks via partnerships.

Liberia - Scaling up the participation of SMEs in the secondary wood processing industry (Phase II). This intervention concerns the scaling up the participation of SMEs in the secondary wood processing industry (Phase II). This project serves as a second phase to the capacity building phase that ended in June 2022. It aims to promote the private sector participation in secondary wood processing for inclusive green growth, employment and economic diversification. Looking at Forestry and fragility mitigation, unlike agricultural production that requires extensive labour and time, utilization of many forest resources is often less time consuming. Secondary wood processing is identified by this project as good entry point for youth involvement because of the potentials for marketing and value chain development through the enhancement of the business and leadership skills of local furniture makers and carpenters. The project will help develop secondary processed wood products and will provide small equipment supports to user groups to successfully manage and market them. Given the current active level of youth participation in the rudimentary wood processing sector in Liberia, they will benefit greatly. The Project will address fragility and build resilience. The project comprises two main components namely: (i) organization, support of local producers and (ii) project management, coordination and support.  The goal of the project is to promote private sector participation in secondary wood processing for inclusive green growth, employment and economic diversification in the Republic of Liberia.  The project will ensure the feasibility of using electric tools to replace some of the hand tools through additional training and material supports to beneficiaries. At least 30 women will be empowered through receiving six months intensive vocational training on carpentry and furniture making skills at one of the shared demonstration centres to be established by the project. Other beneficiaries of the project will include students receiving intensive trainings at the shared demonstration centres as well as other carpenters and furniture makers from other parts of Liberia.

Togo - Reform and Governance Support Programme Phase II (PARG-2). The Reform and Governance Support Programme Phase II (PARG-2) is the result of a request made by the Togolese government to the Bank in June 2010. It is a continuation of the previous budget support programme (PARG-1) supported by the Bank and other multilateral donors, including the World Bank and the European Union. The main expected PARG-2 outcomes are: (A) a more appropriate regulatory and institutional framework for private sector development with: (i) the promulgation of a new Investment Code with more incentives  (ii) simplification and enhanced clarity of the provisions of the Tax and Customs Codes  (iii) reduction in the time required to start a business from 75 days to two weeks and a 48% reduction in start-up costs for ECOWAS citizens and 30% for non-ECOWAS citizens following the establishment of a one-stop shop  (iv) accounting and management assistance to SMEs/SMIs as well as to informal sector units now provided through Authorized Management Centres  (v) participation of investors in tapping the country’s mineral resources fostered by a new Mining Code in compliance with international standards  (B) public finance management is consolidated through: (i) full operationalization of SIGFIP allowing the expenditure chain, which currently only covers commitment, validation and payment authorization, to reach the Public Treasury payment stage and to facilitate the presentation of management accounts  (ii) ending of bad management practices by strengthening internal and external control as well as public procurement management. The programme, costing a total of UA 20 million, aims to support structural reforms for sustained and sustainable growth. It has two components: a) further improvement of the business environment  b) further rationalisation of public finance management.  The programme objective is to support the structural reforms for sustained and durable growth. The specific objectives aim to improve the business environment and consolidate public finance management reforms.  D’une façon générale, la principale bénéficiaire indirecte du Programme sera la population togolaise et plus spécialement les couches les plus démunies pour lesquelles le Gouvernement pourra consacrer davantage de moyens dans le cadre des programmes de lutte contre la pauvreté grâce à une meilleure gestion des ressources publiques. Les autres bénéficiaires sont : (i) les administrations financières de l’Etat dont les capacités opérationnelles seront renforcées grâce à la mise en œuvre des réformes de rationalisation de la gestion des finances publiques  (ii) les fonctionnaires en activité et aussi les retraités de la Fonction publique bénéficieront de la célérité de traitement des dossiers de paiement de leurs salaires et pensions à travers le SIGFIP.

It promotes the professionalisation of cooperatives, micro and small agricultural produce processing enterprises, the development of women's expertise and leadership and their greater access to credit. PAIFJ is in line with Guinea Bissau's national strategies, especially the "Terra Ranka Bissau 2025" vision, which reflects the political will to undertake a transition to a prosperous and inclusive society by 2025. Estimated at UA 5.12 million for a 5-year period, the project, which covers Bissau and the regions of Oio, Biombo and Cacheu, is financed by the ADF (UA 5 million loan) and the Bissau Guinean government (UA 0.12 million). The choice of processing and marketing links in the cashew, fruit and vegetable (mango, wild fruit, tomato, tubers, etc.) sectors is doubly justified because of the dominant presence of women (80% of the labour force in cashew nut harvesting) and given that these are economic niches with enormous potential for rapid and sustainable growth. Indeed, processing 10% of the national cashew nut production into almonds could generate a surplus of 60% of Guinea Bissau’s export value. It would also produce significant employment and income benefits. The project complements other Bank operations in Guinea Bissau (PARCA closed in 2018, PDCV Riz and PACVEAR still under being implemented) and consolidates the Bank's strategies, especially for gender.  The project's overall objective is to contribute to the economic empowerment and creation of sustainable employment for women and youths. The specific objectives are building capacity, enhancing access to finance, processing infrastructure and equipment, and strengthening markets. In addition, the project will provide opportunities for the restructuring of cooperatives and MSEs, promoting quality human resources, reducing women's unpaid excess workload and providing support to public and private management structures.  The project's direct targets are logically women's cooperatives and MSEs, especially in rural and peri-urban areas, active in the cashew, fruit and vegetable sectors. Unemployed young girls and boys and project leaders constitute the other primary target. The project's secondary targets are the public, private and civil society management bodies which will benefit from capacity building and equipment in order to play their role with the primary targets. These are commercial banks, Decentralized Financing Structure (DFS) partners and management structures with which agreements will be signed for technical and managerial capacity building, monitoring of beneficiaries and support for access to financing. Built on a public private partnership, the project will help professionalize 100 women's cooperatives and micro and small enterprises (MSEs), provide training opportunities for three hundred (300) young girls and boys and train five (5) cashew specialists and ten (10) trainers who are experts in processing agricultural products.

Guinea  Bissau - Support project for the resilience of groups and farms in the northern and eastern regions of Guinea Bissau (PARGEA). The Support Project for the Resilience of Agricultural Groups and Farms in the North and East Regions of Guinea Bissau (PARGEA) aims to contribute to the strengthening of the resilience of the populations concerned. Indeed, the superposition of crises in the country has had serious consequences on the agro-sylvo-pastoral sector, food and nutritional security, and the livelihoods of the majority of the population who depend on agriculture. The implementation of the PARGEA will allow the operationalization of the Guinea-Bissau Country Resilience Priorities Document (PRP AGIR), adopted by the Government in February 2017 and will thus contribute to strengthening the resilience of rural populations. The project is worth UA 1,000,000 and is financed by a TAF Pillar III grant. It comprises three components: (1) Institutional capacity building for early warning and rapid response  (2) Various support to small-scale producers and other stakeholders  and (3) Coordination and management of the project. The implementation period is 30 months.  The development objective of PARGEA is to contribute to improving the resilience of producers through capacity building of national structures and producers. The specific objectives of the project are: (i) the improvement of the National Agricultural and Rural Sector Strategic Framework  and (ii) the strengthening of national operational capacities for climate risk management, early warning and rapid response.  With regard to improving the food and nutritional resilience of vulnerable communities, priority will be given to the northern and eastern regions of Guinea Bissau. As indicated in the Guinea Bissau Country Resilience Priorities document, the 4 most vulnerable regions in which particular attention will be given to building resilience to food and nutrition security are: (i) The Oio region with 45,588 severely and moderately food insecure people or 25% of the total population (182,352 hbts)  (ii) The Cacheu region with 31. 900 people in a situation of severe and moderate food insecurity or 20% of the total population (162,034 hbts)  (iii) the region of Gabu with 23,160 people in a situation of moderate and severe food insecurity or 15% of the total population (154,397 hbts), and (iv) the region of Bafata with 22,685 people in a situation of severe and moderate food insecurity or 16% of the total population (145,002 hbts). In these regions, PARGEA interventions will target the areas most affected by food insecurity. The priority target will be the populations characterised by severe food insecurity. For Oio (11% of the total population 20058 hbts), Bafata (3% of the total population i.e. 4 861 hbts). Special attention will be paid to women of childbearing age and pregnant women.

Guinea-Bissau - Public Administration Management Support Project (PAGAP). The Public Administration Management Support Project (PAGAP) is fully in keeping with   the third  aspiration  of  the  African  Union’s  Agenda  and  the  16th  Sustainable Development Goal (ODD).PAGAP will support the Republic of Guinea-Bissau in achieving the third aspiration of Agenda 2063 entitled ‘an Africa of Good Governance, Democracy, Respect for Human Rights, Justice and the Rule of Law.’ The project will specifically target the second goal of this aspiration which is to ‘promote capable institutions  and  transformative  leadership  in  place.’ Under SDG 16 entitled, “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions”, this support specifically contributes to the achievement of the targets relating to the  fight against corruption and the establishment of accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. PAGAP is also consistent with the implementation of the Bank’s CSP 2022-2026 for Guinea-Bissau  focused  on  the  following  single  priority  area:  ‘Support  structural transformation focused on infrastructure and governance reforms for inclusive growth.’  The project’s overall objective is to build the central government’s capacity to exercise its basic functions through improved public finance management by strengthening public resource management  and  building  revenue  mobilisation  capacity.  The  specific  objectives  are  to:  (i) strengthen public resource management by (a) improving public sector wage bill management, (b) establishing a more efficient public procurement system, (c) enhancing public investment management  and  (d)  improving gproject  and  reform  planning  and  implementation   and  (ii) building  public  revenue  mobilisation  capacity  through  (a)  sustained  digitalisation  and  (b)  by building human resource capacity in the tax and customs administrations.  The top eight  (8)  project beneficiaries are: (i) the  Directorate-General of Public Administration (DGAP)  (ii) the Office of the Prime Minister  (iii) the Directorate-General of Planning (DGP)  (iv) the National Institute of Statistics  (INE)   (v)  the  Public  Procurement  Regulatory  Authority  (ARCP)   (vi)  the  Directorate-General of Public Procurement (DGCP)  (vii) the Directorate-General of Contributions and Taxes (DGCI)  and  (viii)  the  Directorate-General  of  Customs  (DGA).  Indirectly,  the  project  will  benefit the  population  of  Guinea-Bissau,  which  will  benefit  from  PAGAP  value-added,  in  particular, through  improvements  in  the  supply  of  basic  public  goods  and  services  to  the  population,  by reducing the country’s fragility and ensuring more effective mobilisation and use of public resources which will help to accelerate economic growth.

Guinea-Bissau - Emergency Food Security Support Project (AEFPF). This operation, financed through a TSF grant (Pillar 1) of UA 5 million, will provide 46,635 vulnerable households (at least 50% women) with: (i) 1,253 tonnes of certified climate-resilient cereal seeds, 364 kg of certified vegetable seeds, 520 tonnes of cassava, yam, and cocoyam cuttings, and 5,000 ml of sweet potato cords  (ii) 1,350 tonnes of fertilisers (NPK and urea) and 1,832 litres of insecticides  and (iii) support for poultry production. The proposed investments will allow for the sowing of about 32,096 ha of land and generate additional agricultural production of 37,335 tonnes, including 1,519 tonnes of market garden produce. Furthermore, an annual production of 5,400 fertile eggs and 4,000 broilers is also expected. The Emergency Food Security Support Project will provide farmers with certified climate-resilient seeds, fertilisers, and tailor-made advisory support. As such, it is an appropriate short and medium-term response to build farmer resilience by improving agricultural productivity and production.  The project’s overall goal is to increase agricultural production of the main staple foods in the eight (8) regions of the country in response to the negative consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the food security of the population. Its specific objectives are to (i) increase national food and poultry production to reduce food imports  (ii) put in place reforms to facilitate farmer access to certified climate-resilient seeds and fertilisers  and (iii) support the extension of good climate-resilient agricultural practices.  The project will cover all eight (8) regions of Guinea-Bissau, as well as the autonomous sector of Bissau (Bissau, Bafata, Biombo, Gabu, Oio, Cacheu, Quinara, Tombali, and Bolama-Bijagos). Beneficiaries will be targeted based on food security and vulnerability criteria. The project will concern about 46,635 vulnerable farming households (including at least 50% women). The indirect beneficiaries are estimated at 69,953 farmers (including at least 50% women).

Seychelles - Policy based partial credit guarantee (PBPCG) programme. The Policy Based Partial Credit Guarantee (PBPCG) programme aims to support the Government of Seychelles to maintain its momentum in implementing the reform agenda, as defined in the Government’s Letter of Development Policy. The PBPCG programme is based on the Operations Policy Matrix, which was agreed between the GoS and the Bank during the appraisal mission in November 2009. Indeed, Seychelles has made commendable efforts to reform its economy in recent years. The critical issue the country faces today is a considerable commercial debt burden. The Bank can be instrumental in assisting the country, through a partial credit guarantee, to successfully negotiate a restructuring of that debt. In addition, this programme will support certain frontloaded reforms to enhance financial governance and debt management. The programme objectives will be achieved by supporting current reforms. Indeed, the Bank’s proposed support in the targeted areas of debt management and financial governance will complement and strengthen coordinated actions that are already being carried out by the Bank (under its budget support operation), the IMF (under the SBA) and the World Bank (under its forthcoming budget support operation).  The programme’s overarching goal is to support the Government’s efforts to promote macroeconomic stability and sustainable growth, by reducing public debt to more sustainable levels. The programme’s specific objectives are to facilitate commercial debt restructuring whilst reinforcing financial governance. This will help release resources to enable the GoS to pursue its development goals, as outlined in ‘Seychelles Strategy 2017’.  The primary beneficiaries are the Seychellois people. The guarantee will directly enhance the chances of commercial creditors participating in debt restructuring and, therefore, help reduce the public debt burden. This would, in turn, release resources to allow the GoS to pursue its development goals.

Seychelles - Inclusive Private Sector Development and Competitiveness Programme. The Seychelles Inclusive Private Sector Development and Competitiveness Programme
(IPSDCP) is a USD 20 million Programme-Based Operation (PBO) supporting the reform
agenda of the Government of Seychelles (GoS). Undertaken in an environment characterized by
macroeconomic and political stability, moderate fiduciary risk, and strong government
commitment to key reforms in the areas covered by the IPSDCP, the programme will be the
Bank’s second general budget support operation in Seychelles. The IPSDCP is designed as a
two year programme supporting the national budget of fiscal years 2013 and 2014. It is
supporting the implementation of a multi-year reform programme in conformity with the
Seychelles 2017 Strategy (the GoS’ main policy document guiding reforms since 2007), the
Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), as well as the draft Medium-Term National
Development Strategy (MTNDS). Programme outputs include policy reforms addressing the
key constraints to private sector development (PSD) and strengthening GoS public financial
management (PFM) systems. The operation is fully complementary to a parallel Development
Policy Loan (DPL) Programme from the World Bank and the GoS is considering establishing a
common steering and monitoring and evaluation framework for both operations.  The overarching goal of the IPSDCP is to strengthen competitiveness to promote inclusive, sustainable and resilient economic growth. This goal will be achieved through two complementary operational policy objectives, namely: (a) improving the enabling environment for PSD and investment by addressing existing constraints (including access to finance, regulatory barriers, and internal competition)  and (b) strengthening PFM systems to support PSD and maximize public sector efficiency in a context presided by fiscal consolidation thus enabling the GoS to invest in economic infrastructure and enhance the quality of public services. Expected outcomes include: (a) improvement in market efficiency (with an expected increase in the goods market efficiency component of the Global Competitiveness Index from 4.3 in 2012 to 4.6 in 2014)  (b) easier access to finance, in particular for domestic MSMEs (with the expansion of the portfolio of the Small Business Financing Agency (SBFA) to at least 500 MSMEs with a total SCR 70 million at year-end 2014, from 355 MSMEs and SCR36.7 million in 2012, with specific targets for MSMEs operated by women)  and (c) improvement in key PEFA indicators linked to the business enabling environment (PI-19.iii Public access to procurement information, from C+ in 2011 to B in 2014  and PI-27 iii Adequacy of time for the legislature to provide a response to budget proposals, from D in 2011 to B in 2014).  The direct beneficiaries of the Programme will be the Seychellois private sector actors, and in particular MSMEs (with specific emphasis on those owned/operated by women and youth), as well as key GoS agencies and departments. The entire Seychellois population will benefit indirectly through the programme’s expected impact on inclusive growth and job creation.

Seychelles - The Economic Governance Reforms Programme. The Economic Governance Reforms Program (EGRP) is the Bank’s first general budget support operation in Seychelles. It aims to support the Government’s efforts to promote macroeconomic stability and sustainable growth in order to rebalance the economy, by improving economic and financial governance. The EGRP supports the Government’s macroeconomic and financial reform program for 2009-2010 and in particular reforms related to Public Finance Management (PFM) and increasing the role of the private sector as a driver of growth. The reform program has four main thrusts: (i) achieving full convertibility of the Seychelles Rupee and introducing a market determined floating exchange rate  (ii) adopting a comprehensive sustainable debt restructuring strategy  (iii) reducing the role of the State in economic activity, through a public sector reform program and promoting private sector development, and (iv) reinforcing Public Finance Management reforms and strengthening economic and financial governance. The programme comprises two principal components, namely: (i) strengthening PFM, and (ii) enhancing private sector development.  The program purpose is to promote macroeconomic stability and sustainable growth in order to rebalance the economy, by improving economic and financial governance. Its operational policy objectives are to strengthen Public Finance Management and enhance private sector development.  The Seychellois population in general should reap the benefits of resumed growth and employment opportunities in the private sector. Further, a direct consequence of strengthened PFM should be that individual ministries and public bodies should become more efficient at delivering public services. Also by supporting a “holistic” review of the business regulatory framework, the EGRP should bring a benefit to economic agents who are presently unable to operate within the current private sector environment.

Seychelles - Inclusive Private Sector Development and Competitiveness Programme – Phase II. The Inclusive Private Sector Development and Competitiveness Programme- Phase II (IPSDCP-II), is designed as a single-tranche general budget support (GBS) operation for the fiscal year 2015, financed by an ADB loan of USD 10 million. It ensures continuity of the previous Programme Based Operation (PBO), IPSDCP (2013-2014) and complementarity with the programs of other development partners. The programme targets outputs aimed towards improving the investment climate, more specifically an improved legal framework and systems for business facilitation and investment promotion  initiatives to increase effective demand for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) credit  and an improved regulatory framework for the non-banking financial sector. The programme also targets outputs aimed at enhancing public sector efficiency, including the establishment of a regulatory framework for public-private partnerships and improved transparency and participation in procurement and budget processes.  The goal of the proposed programme is to achieve inclusive and sustained economic growth through enhanced competitiveness of the Seychellois economy. The purpose of the operation is to support priority reforms of the Government aimed at achieving two complementary policy objectives considered as crucial towards enhancing competitiveness in Seychelles, namely: 1) improved investment climate, and 2) enhanced public sector efficiency.  MSMEs, key GoS entities and civil society will benefit from the Programme. The main direct beneficiaries will be private sector operators (in particular MSMEs, with a special emphasis on those owned or operated by women and youth), and public institutions, including MFTBE, MIEDBI, CBS, Registrar’s Office, POU, SRC, FSA, SBFA, SEnPA as well as civil society (through a greater access to budgetary information). Given the expected positive impact on growth, job creation and economic competitiveness, the entire Seychellois population can be considered to be indirect beneficiaries. Budget execution, as supported with funds from the IPSDCP II, will also have direct impact on the population through spending on social services, including health and education, and infrastructure.

Seychelles - Governance and Economic Reforms Support Program (GERSP). The proposed operation is a loan to the Republic of Seychelles of US$20 million (UA 14 million) to finance the Governance and Economic Reforms Support Program (GERSP). It is the first in a 3-year programmatic series, for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. The program results from a request to the Bank by the Government of Seychelles in February 2021. The proposed GERSP deepens reforms that were introduced through the Seychelles’ COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program that was approved in June 2020 for an amount of US$ 10 million and will be completed in July 2021. The GERSP loan will contribute to financing the fiscal gap due to declining fiscal revenues and increased spending while reducing the risks in the public debt profile. It will also create more and better opportunities for all Seychellois by (i) conserving the fiscal space and reducing debt vulnerabilities, thus allowing the Government to allocate its scarce resources to priority projects and protecting the vulnerable population  (ii) removing the constraints for doing business, thus enabling local MSMEs to better engage in international trade  and (iii) improving access to renewable energy and better solid waste management practices, thus enhancing inclusive growth and environmental sustainability. Another dimension of the reforms is a partial re-profiling of short-term public domestic debt to mitigate roll-over risks and complement domestic financing.  The overarching goal of the proposed program is to strengthen economic governance reforms that will sustain inclusive growth and mitigate the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while reinforcing green growth, and environmental and climate resilience. Its operational policy objectives are to: advance fiscal sustainability by supporting improvements in economic management and governance, improve the business enabling environment by supporting structural reforms, and enhance green growth, climate change and environmental resilience.  The beneficiaries will include the entire population of Seychelles, due to the broadness of the reform agenda and its impact on the entire public administration, economic growth, and environmental and climate resilience. Targeted interventions will be undertaken to ensure that women and youth are among the key beneficiaries of the program’s activities. The increased fiscal space generated will allow for greater spending on social programs oriented toward achieving the SDGs. Beneficiaries include the private sector in general and the MSMEs, in particular, through improved business environment, access to finance, and climate resilience. Direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Trade (MoFEP&T), Ministry for Investment, Entrepreneurship and Industry, Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment, Ministry of Employment and Social Affairs, Public Utilities Corporation, Seychelles Energy Commission, and Seychelles Revenue Commission.

Seychelles - Governance and Economic Reforms Support Program (GERSP) - Phase II. The proposed operation is an ADB loan of US$25 million to the Republic of Seychelles to finance the Second Phase of the Governance and Economic Reforms Support Program (GERSP-II). The GERSP was designed to support Seychelles’ post-COVID19 economic recovery in a 3-year programmatic series, for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Phase I of the GERSP was approved by the Bank Group’s Board of Directors on 7 July 2021 and the resources (UA 15.04 million, equivalent to USD 20 million) supported the Government to bridge the financing gap in 2021 and implement the programme. GERSP-II aims to consolidate and expand these efforts to further strengthen economic resilience and inclusive post-COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery across several areas of the Seychelles economy. These include supporting continued effort to advance fiscal sustainability by improving tax revenue performance  enhancing governance in the public sector, including state-owned enterprises (SOEs)  and strengthening AML/CFT financing framework.  The goal of GERSP II is to continue strengthening economic governance reforms that will sustain inclusive green growth and support post-COVID-19 recovery while reinforcing environmental and climate resilience. Consistent with this goal, GERSP II aims to create more and better opportunities for all Seychellois by: (i) conserving the fiscal space and reducing debt vulnerabilities, thus allowing the Government to allocate its scarce resources to priority projects and protecting the vulnerable population  (ii) removing the constraints for doing business, thus enabling local MSMEs to better engage in international trade  and (iii) improving access to renewable energy and better solid waste management practices, thus enhancing inclusive growth and environmental sustainability.  The beneficiaries will remain the entire population of Seychelles, due to the broadness of the reform agenda and its impact on the entire public administration, economic growth, and environmental and climate resilience. Beneficiaries include the private sector in general and the MSMEs, in particular, through improved business environment, access to finance, and climate resilience. Targeted interventions will be undertaken to ensure that women and youth are among the key beneficiaries of the programme’s activities. Direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Finance, National Planning and Trade (MoFNP&T), Ministry for Investment, Entrepreneurship and Industry, Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment, Ministry of Employment and Social Affairs, Public Utilities Corporation, Seychelles Energy Commission, and Seychelles Revenue Commission.

Seychelles - Governance and Economic Reforms Support Program (GERSP) – Phase III. The Governance and Economic Reforms Support Programme (GERSP)-III is the final intervention of the three-year programmatic operation covering 2021, 2022, and 2023 in Seychelles. The GERSP-III aims to strengthen the economic governance reforms that will sustain inclusive green growth and support post-COVID-19 recovery while reinforcing environmental and climate resilience. The project is a continue support of the Bank to Seychelles’ Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF), 2021-2023 through three components: (i) advancing fiscal sustainability  (ii) improving business environment  and (iii) improving climate change and environmental resilience. The GERSP-III’s key expected outputs are: (i) improved tax revenue performance  (ii) improved governance in the public sector, including in state-owned enterprises (SOEs)  (iii) strengthened anti-money laundering and counter terrorism (AML/CFT) financing framework  (iv) enhanced environment for doing business  and (v) enhanced climate change responses and renewable energy and solid waste management frameworks.  The objective of GERSP-III is to strengthen the economic governance reforms that will sustain inclusive green growth and support post-COVID-19 recovery while reinforcing environmental and climate resilience. With this project, the Bank commits to continue supporting Seychelles’ Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF), 2021-2023 through three components: (i) advancing fiscal sustainability  (ii) improving business environment  and (iii) improving climate change and environmental resilience.  The beneficiaries of the GERSP-III project are the entire population of Seychelles, due to the scope of the reform program and its impact on overall public administration, economic growth, and environmental and climate resilience. Specific beneficiary groups include: i) users of state-provided social services, ii) taxpayers, iii) domestic and foreign investors, iv) the Seychellois workforce, including women facing redundancy as a result of the pandemic, and v) the most disadvantaged members of the population, including outlying islands.

Chad - COVID-19 Support Programme in G5 Sahel Countries - Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad (PARC COVID-19 - G5 Sahel). The proposed intervention concerns the Chad component of the COVID-19 Crisis Response Programme in the G5 Sahel Countries (PARC COVID-19 – G5 SAHEL). This is a loan and award a grant to the G5 Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Chad) of UA 118.9 million and UA 89.6 million respectively from the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility. It will be implemented over 12 months from July 2020. The Programme was appraised in April 2020 following requests to the Bank by the countries. Chad recorded its first case of COVID-19 on 19 March 2020. As of 5 June 2020, the country had 828 infected cases, confirming the rapid spread of the disease in early May, with a sharp increase in the number of cases since 13 May (357 cases). To check the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has taken a series of preventive and protective measures, including: (i) the closing of airports to all airlines, except freighters (however, land borders remain open to goods traffic, excluding the borders with Sudan and the Central African Republic)  (ii) the prohibition of gatherings of more than 50 people  (iii) the closure of all schools and universities  (iv) the closure of restaurants, bars and nightclubs  and (v) the banning of public transport by minibus and limitation of the number of passengers in taxis. These measures have led to a sharp contraction of supply and demand, resulting in a sudden economic downturn in Chad. This Programme complements the other budget support operations, particularly the Multinational Coronavirus Pandemic Control Support Project for G5 member countries approved on 9 June 2020, aimed at providing the region with adequate operational capacities to combat the pandemic. More specifically, the programme will contribute to the financing of response plans through the budget support it will provide. It will also support measures aimed at improving the financial management of the response plans and mitigating the health, social and economic-related impacts.  The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chad. Its specific objectives are to: (i) mitigate the health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic  (ii) mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable people  and (iii) mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The entire population of Chad will benefit from this programme which will help to mitigate the health and socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population, especially the most vulnerable segments. It will also contribute to reducing the economic shock on the Chadian enterprises affected by the sharp economic downturn resulting from the pandemic. The programme will also make it possible to build the capacity of the Chadian public administration in health response, protection of the most vulnerable segments of the population and support to economic activities. All these elements will contribute to strengthening the resilience and inclusiveness of the Chadian economy and, hence, reducing the country’s fragility factors.

Chad - Project to support the productivity and competitiveness of the meat and dairy Value in Chad (PAPCV-VL). The Project to Support the Productivity and Competitiveness of the Meat and Dairy Value Chains in Chad (PAPCV-VL) is in line with the authorities' vision for the agricultural sector (including livestock) as defined in the Agricultural, Silvicultural, Pastoral and Fisheries Policy Law (LOAH, 2018). The LOAH aims to "build an intensive, diversified and sustainable agriculture that provides healthy and sufficient food, income and secure employment for the rural population in general, and vulnerable groups in particular, and that ensures food and nutrition security, as well as poverty reduction in Chad." The project will support commercial transactions and partnerships throughout the country to ensure permanent and regular supply for slaughterhouses. It will also support private sector operators involved in meat exports. The PAPCV-VL project area covers seven (7) administrative provinces grouped into two zones, namely: (i) the Western Zone which covers Chari Baguirmi and Hadjer Lamis Provinces and N'Djamena Municipality  and (ii) the Southern Zone which covers Logone Occidental, Logone Oriental, Mandoul and Tandjilé Provinces. The project area covers 151,259 km² (12% of the total area of the country) with an estimated population of 7,377,771 inhabitants in 2020, and an average density of 48.77 inhabitants/km². Clearly, the physical infrastructure and capacity building of livestock organisations will be limited to the indicated project area, while commercial transactions and partnerships will be supported throughout the entire territory. The PAPCV-VL, which will be implemented over five years (2021-2026) at a total cost of UA 17.026 million, directly targets 500 processing enterprises and cooperatives, as well as 7,500 beneficiaries (agro-pastoralists and livestock farmers) representing 45,000 people, at least 60% of whom are young people and women.  PAPCV-VL’s sector objective is to contribute to sustainable increase in the livestock sector’s contribution to the national economy by improving meat and dairy value chains productivity and competitiveness. This sector objective is broken down into four (4) specific objectives, namely: (i) intensify livestock production and productivity  (ii) increase meat exports  (iii) create employment opportunities and increase stakeholder income in the meat and dairy value chains  and (iv) facilitate the population's access to safe food of animal origin.  The target groups and direct beneficiaries of the project are all the stakeholders in the beef/meat and dairy value chains (graziers, fatteners, butchers, collectors, livestock traders and other economic operators involved in the sub-sector). The construction and/or rehabilitation of infrastructure for the processing of products and by-products will provide an opportunity for creating income-generating activities for women and young people, thereby contributing to poverty reduction. The organisational and technical capacities of the Government services in the sector will be strengthened to effectively deal with issues that concern them.

The indirect beneficiaries are estimated at 120,000 people. Finally, the increase in meat exports will target other stakeholders outside Chad.

Chad - Emergency Fiscal Consolidation Support Programme (PUCB). The Emergency Fiscal Consolidation Support Programme (PUCB) is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) which is in keeping with the overall framework of concerted, coordinated and complementary interventions of the Technical and Financial Partners (TFP) in order to urgently revive economic growth and safeguard social spending in the countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), including Chad. Indeed, as the case of the majority of CEMAC economies, the Chadian economy has been severely affected by the drop in oil prices, which has caused, since 2014, a significant deterioration of the country's economic and budgetary performance. This situation has a very negative impact on social spending and threatens the implementation of the 2017-2021 National Development Plan (PND) , which is essential for Chad's economic diversification process and its progressive exit from the situation of fragility. The PUCB comprises two complementary components intended to create a fiscal space that will initially contribute to the financing of economic recovery and social spending, and subsequently implementation of the programme to diversify the economy, which is essential to the country’s gradual emergence from its situation of fragility. The PUCB’s two components are: (i) improved domestic resource mobilization   and (ii) more effective public resource management.  The PUCB’s objective is to consolidate budget management through the domestic resource mobilization and improved public expenditure management in order to create a conducive fiscal space for economic recovery and safeguard social spending. The expected outcomes of this CRBS are: (i) a tax revenue/non-oil GDP ratio that will rise from 7% in 2016 to 8.2% in 2018  (ii) a wage bill/non-oil GDP ratio, expected to fall from 7.5% in 2016 to 6.9 % in 2018  and (iii) a debt service/revenue ratio, expected to fall from 40% in 2016 to less than 35% in 2018.  Chad’s entire population will benefit from PUCB. Also as a result of PUCB, the Chadian administration’s capacity
will be built in three key areas of Public Finance Management (PFM)  namely: (i) domestic resource mobilization  (ii) wage bill control  and (iii) public debt management. Furthermore, by addressing the issue of domestic arrears in its sub-component on improving public debt management, PUCB will have a positive impact on private sector enterprises and on the social sectors.

Seychelles - COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program. The proposed operation is a loan to the Republic of Seychelles for USD 10 million to finance the COVID-19 emergency response support program. This is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) that will be applied for 12 months from June 2020 to July 2021. The Seychelles Crisis Response Budget Support operation was appraised from 20 – 27 April 2020 following a request from the Republic of Seychelles dated 8 April 2020. Seychelles faces a dual challenge of addressing short term impact of COVID-19 and setting the course for a higher growth trajectory. The first case of COVID-19 in Seychelles was confirmed on 14th March and by the 6th of April, there were 11 confirmed imported cases. The country has attained universal health coverage (UHC) with the State providing free and universal access to health care for all Seychellois. However, COVID-19 pandemic threatens to reverse these gains and risks the sustainability of Seychelles universal health coverage. Cognizant of this threat, the Government is implementing measures under the COVID-19 National Response Plan, which have been effective in preventing community transmissions. The operation is to support Government actions that will lay the foundation for macroeconomic stability and protect the socioeconomic progress that the country has so far achieved. The program consists of three broad components namely: (i) strengthening the health response for COVID-19  (ii) expanding social protection and protecting livelihoods against COVID-19 impact  and (iii) protecting economic activities and safeguarding jobs against COVID-19 shocks. These three components are interlinked in pursuit of addressing the immediate public health challenge of saving lives, expanding social protection mechanisms as well as cushioning businesses and the economy from downward spiral.  The goal of the operation is to support Seychelles’ National COVID-19 response policies and plans to contain and mitigate the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 pandemic. The policy objective of the operation is to  (i) strengthen the health response to COVID-19 pandemic  (ii) protect livelihoods and enhance social protection measures against COVID19, and  (iii) minimize risk to macroeconomic stability and create resilience for economic activities.  The program will protect the population from the spread of COVID19 especially men who are epidemiologically more susceptible and enhanced fiscal space for improved basic service delivery. The poor and vulnerable whose livelihoods have been affected by the pandemic will directly benefit through strengthened livelihoods and expanded social protection coverage. Employees in the private sector will also benefit through the government’s salary guarantee scheme. Maintained macroeconomic stability supported by the program will directly benefit households, the private sector and financial sector actors through faster and more inclusive economic recovery on the back of more resilient businesses and workforce.

The operation will also support about 30,000 indirect beneficiaries (i.e. agriculture, tourists, etc.).

Egypt - National Railways Modernization Project (ENRMP). The Egypt National Railways Modernization Project (ENRMP) aims to maximize rail transport contribution to the country’s socioeconomic development and effectively support Vision-2030, whose goal is to achieve a sustainable and all-inclusive economy by 2030. Indeed, Railway transportation in Egypt is considered to be the backbone of passenger transportation, carrying 313.7 million passengers per year or 0.86 million passengers per day, mainly serving the middle-class and low-income communities. However, the rail sector has over the years been experiencing a number of operational problems and still lags-behind road transport in terms of both freight and passenger volumes. The project involves upgrading of railway signaling systems from mechanical and electrical systems to electronic interlocking system  rail renewals and installation of Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system in selected sections of Egypt’s main railways network. It will be implemented by the Egypt National Railways Authority (ENR) with an estimate total cost of EUR 765.23 million.  The development objective of the proposed project is to contribute to Egypt’s socio-economic development through improved railway transport services. The Project will specifically contribute to: (i) improving safety of train operations  (ii) increasing network capacity  and (iii) improving the efficiency and reliability of train services. The impact of the above outcomes is expected to improve customer confidence in National Railways Authority (ENR) and increase in revenues and less dependency on the treasury.  The total population served by the rail transport is about 40 million people concentrated along the rail network as described above. In terms of daily and annual passenger traffic, railway transport carries about 0.86 million passengers per day (about 313.7 million passengers per year), mainly serving the middle-class and low-income communities.

Egypt - Food Security and Economic Resilience Support Program (FSER-SP). The proposed operation is an ADB Loan of USD 271 million to the Arab Republic of Egypt to finance the Food Security and Economic Resilience Support Program (FSER-SP). This program is, therefore, an integrated intervention on the urgent measures and structural aspects linked to the resilience of the economy, which are complementary and necessary to face the current situation. It results from a request of the Government of Egypt (GoE) in March 2022 to support its efforts to mitigate the impact of the global compounded shocks caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the domestic economy and preserve resilience. It is designed under the multi-donor stand-alone budget support for Egypt (USD 97,3 million) involving the AfDB and other co-financiers, and the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) (USD 173,7 million). The FSER-SP is comprised of two components: (i) Support for the Food Security Response  and (ii) Building Private Sector and Fiscal Resilience. The program will contribute to strengthening food security and resilience of the Egyptian economy, with particular emphasis on increasing national agricultural productivity, mitigating food security risks, and enhancing private sector and fiscal resilience.  The FSER-SP supports immediate and long-term goals, as presented in the global matrix. It aims to contribute to strengthening food security and resilience of the Egyptian economy. Mitigating the impact of the international geopolitical situation on food security in Egypt requires a dual intervention by implementing preliminary measures that respond to the emergency, and structural measures that strengthen the resilience of the economy.  The program’s direct beneficiaries are the Egyptian State, through the MOF, as the program amount will be added to the State budget, and farmers as they will benefit from additional incentives for wheat production. Vulnerable population in Egypt will also directly benefit from the program, as they will benefit from urgent measures to mitigate the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, notably on food affordability, availability, quality and safety. The program sets out strong measures for private sector development which, once implemented, will help improve investment conditions, including for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), especially women owned SMEs.

Egypt - Water Recycling in Agriculture Project - Gabel el Asfer Stage III - Phase A & B. Egypt’s development strategy is built around the “Sustainable Development Strategy: 2030 Vision”, the Government Action Program “Egypt Takes Off”, and the recent Cabinet’s comprehensive reform program. The vision is being implemented through five-years action plans. The GoE is launching its second phase of “Egypt Takes Off” for 2023-2027. This new program builds on the previous milestones achieved by the 2018-2022 program which has put the foundation for a successful development trajectory for the Egyptian economy. The top priorities of the GoE in its new program 2023-2027 are: (i) promoting green economy and achieving water, food and energy security  (ii) increasing investment in health and education sectors and (iii) introducing new regulatory reforms aiming to facilitate the engagement of the private sector into the economic development process of Egypt. In order to position Egypt for a swift and sustainable recovery from the Covid-19 crisis, the GoE announced in May 2021 a second phase of the program namely the “National Structural Reforms Program (NSRP)”.  The project’s development objective is to: i) improve environment sustainability by protecting the environment and water resource from pollution and to reduce health risks due to discharge of untreated wastewater to the drains and canals  ii) boost agriculture production through increasing water re-use for food security. The main outcomes of the project are a) provide treated waste water for new arable land of “70,000 Acres”  b) increase or expand the treatment plant’s capacity by 1.0 million m3/day (third stage) from 2.5 million m3 to 3.5 million  m3  per  day  of  both  primary  and  secondary  treatment  so  that  increasing  the  direct beneficiary by  5  million  people  from  12.5  million  to  17.5  million  people.  Provision  of secondary treatment facilities is essential to meet effluent standards in Egypt and to improve the water quality environment of the drainage system. attention should be given to ensure that the project outcomes will not have a negative (economic, social, and/or environmental) side effect on targeted (or non-targeted) populations.  The GEAWWTP is located in East Cairo and its catchment area consists of the greater part of Cairo. In terms of wastewater treatment and improved sanitation coverage, the plant currently  serves  12.5  million  persons  directly5,  however  upon  completion,  it  will  directly benefit  more  than  17.5  million  people  located  in  the  urban  areas covering  the  following governorates: Cairo, Qaliobia, Sharqia, and Ismailia.  A second group of direct beneficiaries include people living in villages downstream of the plant and along the system draining the effluent from the plant into Bahr El Baqar drain, estimated to be around 1 million persons, which  will  benefit  from  an  improved  environment  and  consequent  reduction  of  diseases associated with untreated wastewater. Indirect beneficiaries include farmers and fishermen around Lake Manzala and in the Sinai Peninsula who will benefit from additional sources of water for agriculture and irrigation purposes.

Egypt - Private Sector Development and Economic Diversification Support Program – Phase I. The Private Sector Development and Economic Diversification Support Program (PSD EDSP) is a governmental project that projects to facilitate increased private sector development by improving the business environment and diversifying sources of green growth. The program cost for the first year of the two-year programmatic operation is USD 131 million. Specifically, the program intends to stimulate private sector development and competitiveness, currently hampered by external shocks and various structural factors. The resolution of these difficulties implies interventions on business environment and on key productive sectors already initiated by the government, which makes it possible to envisage complementary and concomitant support in most areas affecting economic competitiveness and the promotion of private investments. Through a holistic approach, the programme will make it possible to strengthen the basis of competitiveness of the private sector in Egypt, mainly in manufacturing, including agri-business sectors.  The principal objective of the program is to facilitate increased private sector development by improving the business environment and diversifying sources of green growth. While the first component of the proposed program will have a direct impact on private sector development through business enabling environment and the strengthening of the framework for competition and commercial justice, the second component will boost productive sectors, including manufacturing sector and agribusiness, and will support green transition by promoting green renewable energy and reducing Carbon emissions.  The program's direct beneficiaries are the Egyptian State through the Ministry of Finance (MoF), as the program amount will be added to the State budget  the private sector, notably the private industrial and agri-business sectors, will also benefit directly from this program, which contains several reforms which, once implemented, will help improve investment conditions. By promoting private sector development, the program will directly impact job creation, improving the quality of life of the Egyptian population. SMEs, especially women-owned SMEs, are also indirect beneficiaries of the PSD-EDSP in that the identified measures should facilitate business and access to minor claims procedures through the amended law on small claims. By promoting green transition, the program will contribute to reducing the population's exposure to pollution and the effects of climate change.

Egypt - The Franchising Sector Support Programme. The Franchising Sector Support Program (FSSP) seeks to promote franchising in Egypt as an effective business strategy for private sector development and SME growth. This program will encourage the establishment and expansion of the local franchising concept, resulting in entrepreneurship development, economic growth, and job creation. The medium-term objective of the FSSP will be to establish solid local financial instruments and collaborative structures that address the current gaps in the franchising market. The project comprises two interlinked components: (i) debt financing through a senior loan of USD 40 million to the Government of Egypt (GoE), channelled through SFD to local financial institutions (FIs) and onward to franchisees  (ii) capacity building of local stakeholders (SFD, Egyptian Franchise Development Association, Financial Institutions, consultants, lawyers, judiciary), with specific support to the SFD’s Franchising Unit, and with subsequent support to franchisors to ensure that sound local and foreign franchise concepts.  The overall objective of this project is to address the constraints limiting the growth of the franchise market and establish franchise support mechanisms. Overall, the Franchising Program is an initiative with high development impact and high commercial visibility that is expected to create 375 franchise outlets, over 7,000 direct jobs (and a larger number of indirect jobs in the value chain), and will increase the number of SMEs operating in the formal sector. It will also bring technology transfers to SMEs, foster increased productivity and export potential, and thereby increase government revenues.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Social Fund for Development (SFD), the Micro and Small Enterprises.

Instit. Sup for Minist of Intern. Cooper. The present project relates to the Institutional Support to the Ministry of International Cooperation (MIC). It's initiated because the MIC, which is is the principal institution responsible for developing and nurturing relations with foreign countries and international and regional organizations in all matters related to economic cooperation, was weak in terms of information system capacity for the efficient utilization and management of foreign aid. The main outputs of the project comprises an efficient mechanism comprising upgraded hardware and software, a computer network and a large pool of trained personnel at Ministry of International Cooperation for management of Egypt’s foreign aid and readily available aid and debt data at Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) for government and donors wishing to be kept informed of progress on a continuous basis. The components of the project include information systems development, technical assistance, training and equipment.  The objectives of the project are to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of International Cooperation and further develop the debt management system at the Central Bank of Egypt. These objectives are to be achieved through the provision of equipment, technical assistance, development of information systems and training in order to ensure appropriate utilization of the significant inflows of external resources.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Ministry of International Cooperation.

Egypt - Economic Governance and Energy Support Program III (EGESP III). The proposed intervention is the third and final phase in a programmatic series of three consecutive Program Based Operations (PBO) covering the period 2015 – 2018. The Bank planned a total of USD 1.5 billion for the three-year programmatic operation. The first two phases each amounting to USD 500 million were fully disbursed in January 2016 and March 2017. The program amount for the third and final phase is USD 500 million. To ensure steady progress and sustainability of reforms, the components of Economic Governance and Energy Support Program III (EGESP III) remain the same as in EGESP I and II, though the specific prior actions differ. Consequently, EGESP III’s package of reforms is organised around three components, namely: (i) Enhancing fiscal consolidation  (ii) Ensuring sustainable energy supply  and (iii) Enhancing the business environment. The three components are complementary and mutually reinforcing in addressing structural constraints to inclusive growth and job creation.  The goal of EGESP III is to support the implementation of the government’s mediumterm development agenda aimed at building a strong foundation for inclusive and self-reliant economic growth, while leveraging on the achievements of EGESP I and II (see table 2a). Consistent with this goal, EGESP III aims specifically to: (i) advance fiscal consolidation by deepening reforms that would further enhance government revenues, rationalize or improve efficiency of its expenditures (notably the wage bill) and improve fiscal transparency and management  (ii) enhance the sustainability of energy supply by deepening reforms to further improve governance in the power and gas sectors, reforming subsidies and rationalizing tariffs  and (iii) improve the business environment by deepening reforms in the areas of investment regime and facilitation, industrial licensing, competition and financial inclusion.  The beneficiaries from the program remain the same as in EGESP I-II.

Egypt - National Drainage Programme. The National Drainage Program is a key part of the government’s Water Resources Development Strategy which seeks to optimize the efficiency of water resource use as well as improve the efficiency of the drainage systems. It should permit to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land. The implementation of the programme is expected to result in higher crop yields in the target areas, higher farm incomes, and increased food security and poverty reduction in general. Water logging and the soil salinity can reduce crop productivity by 20-30%. The programme includes three components, namely: (i) construction and rehabilitation of subsurface and surface drainage  (ii) strengthening of the Egyptian Public Authority for Drainage Projects (EPADP) capacity for operation and maintenance  and (iii) project management and institutional development assistance.  The principal objectives of this programme are to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land in order to reduce water logging and consequent soil salinity, in addition to making more land available for cultivation.  The primary beneficiaries will be the farming households in the project areas. Given the current land tenure in Egypt where the average farm size is one feddan, the primary/target beneficiaries should be approximately 125,000 households or 625,000 people, of which 50% are women. Indirect benefits include the prevention of further deterioration in crop yields if drainage is not improved, decrease of water borne disease incidence, improved rural sanitation, and protection of buildings against damage by the rising water table. Other benefits include an increase in land values after installation of drainage systems  increase in off-farm activities due to increased household income  improved health of households due to reduction of water-borne diseases and better nutrition.

Democratic Republic of Congo - Project for the Reinforcement of Socio Economic Infrastructure in the Central Region - Phase II - (PRISE II). The second phase of the Project for the Reinforcement of Socio-Economic Infrastructure in the Central Region is in line with the PNEHA 2030 and aims at improving the socio-economic and health conditions as well as the resilience of the Congolese population. PRISE II will finance water, education and health infrastructure in rural areas. It was identified under the National Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (PEASU) developed with ADF funding. The good results obtained by PRISE I, the first phase of its implementation in 5 provinces (construction of 60 schools, 60 health centres, 504 latrines and 60 Drinking Water Supply (DWS), prompted the Government to develop a programme with similar infrastructure in 26 other provinces. This will improve the country's overall health indicators seen in sustainable access to water and sanitation and adoption of good hygiene practices through the building of 22 DWS facilities, 41 schools, 40 health centres and 88 latrines, thus contributing to building people's resilience to climate change. The various activities of the project are grouped into three (03) components: A) development of water supply infrastructure, B) improvement of sector governance and capacity building, and C) project coordination and management. The project's total cost is UA 55.77 million, including UA 50 million financed by an ADF loan and UA 5.77 million government's counterpart contribution. Project implementation will span a period of 5 years.  The overall objective of the Project is to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the Congolese population. Specifically, it aims at: (i) improving the rate of access to drinking water and sanitation in rural areas of the targeted provinces  (ii) improving enrolment rates and the population's access to health care  and (iii) building sector stakeholders' capacity.  The project’s main direct beneficiaries are the populations of some 41 rural settlements in ten provinces, especially women and children who bear the burden of supplying households with drinking water. They are estimated at 870,908 people distributed as follows: (i) 440,000 for drinking water  (ii) 4,400 for sanitation  (iii) 24,600 (pupils) for basic education  and (iii) 400,000 for health care. In addition, 333 permanent jobs and thousands of temporary jobs (1,575) during construction will be created. Capacity-building actions, in the form of training, support for the deployment of operational units, IT and office equipment and rolling stock, will benefit Government technical services responsible for rural development, health, sanitation and education. These include the provincial authorities, for which premises will be built and equipped, the future Directorate of Infrastructure and Rural Development, and sanitation brigades in the project area.

Egypt - Electricity and Green Growth Support Program (EGGSP) - Phase I. The Electricity and Green Growth Support Program (EGGSP) is designed as a programmatic series of two consecutive Sector Budget Support (SBS) operations over the financial years (FY) 2019/20 – 2020/21 for a total indicative financing package of EUR 450 million. The proposed operation is an ADB sovereign loan of two hundred and twenty-five million Euros (EUR 225 million) to the Arab Republic of Egypt to finance the first phase. EGGSP will support the government in maintaining the reform momentum to limit the deterioration of macroeconomic balances and create additional fiscal space that enables it to expand social spending, especially on health for combating COVID-19, and deploy further protection measures to alleviate poverty and socioeconomic hardship. Specifically, the program will support enhancing the resilience of the power sector and deepening private sector participation for fulfilling the interconnected goals of the country’s energy strategy for ensuring security of energy supply through enhanced sustainability, governance and competition. EGGSP comprises two components that have been selected based on the current priorities for the next steps in the electricity sector reform agenda. The two components complement each other by improving the financial position and competitiveness of the electricity sector to help attract more private investment in clean energy and energy efficiency for promoting climate change mitigation, green and sustainable growth. Its implementation is expected to contribute to Egypt’s aspirations for becoming a regional energy hub by improving the security of energy supply and enhancing sector competitiveness.  EGGSP will support government efforts in deepening and sustaining the ongoing energy sector reforms, with focus on the electricity sector. In line with the ISES, the main goal of the program is to promote a sustainable, competitive and diversified electricity sector for ensuring security of supply and supporting green growth. The purpose of the EGGSP is to support the reforms in two main critical areas, namely: i) restructuring the electricity sector for enhancing its financial sustainability and improving its governance and competitiveness  and ii) promoting clean energy and energy efficiency for addressing climate change mitigation and fostering green growth.  EGGSP will benefit the population of Egypt, particularly the most vulnerable, because of the increased social allocations, including for coping with COVID-19, using the fiscal space that will be created by the reforms supported by the program. Furthermore, with near universal access to electricity in Egypt, the population will benefit from better energy service delivery and reliability. Promoting energy efficiency through the EGGSP will not only help the country make better use of its natural resources, but also help consumers reduce their expenditures on energy. Industries, including SMEs, should also benefit from the increased competitiveness in the energy sector that should help them improve their comparative advantages. EGGSP will benefit the GoE by supporting the continuation and deepening of the country’s comprehensive economic reform program for promoting sustainable development and green growth. The Program will benefit the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MoERE) and the public power utility (EEHC & EETC), NREA and Egypt ERA with improved financial positions, better governance and higher operational efficiencies.

Egypt - Electricity and Green Growth Support Program II (EGGSP II). The present intervention concerns the second phase of the Electricity and Green Growth Support Programme (EGGSP II).

EGGSP will support the government in maintaining the reform momentum to limit the deterioration of macroeconomic balances and create additional fiscal space that enables it to expand social spending, especially on health for combating COVID-19, and deploy further protection measures to alleviate poverty and socioeconomic hardship. Specifically, the program will support enhancing the resilience of the power sector and deepening private sector participation for fulfilling the interconnected goals of the country’s energy strategy for ensuring security of energy supply through enhanced sustainability, governance and competition. EGGSP comprises two components that have been selected based on the current priorities for the next steps in the electricity sector reform agenda. EGGSP II retains the same two components of EGGSP I given that they remain relevant to the priorities for the current stage of the electricity sector reform agenda. The two components complement each other whereby the first component aims to improve the financial sustainability and competitiveness of the electricity sector, which is among the prerequisites for attracting more private investment in clean energy and energy efficiency for promoting climate change mitigation, green and sustainable growth as per the objective of the second program component. Its implementation is expected to contribute to Egypt’s aspirations for becoming a regional energy hub by improving the security of energy supply and enhancing sector competitiveness.  The purpose of the EGGSP is to support the reforms in two main critical areas, namely: i) restructuring the electricity sector for enhancing its financial sustainability and improving its governance and competitiveness  and ii) promoting clean energy and energy efficiency for improving the energy mix, addressing climate change mitigation and fostering green growth.  Like the first phase, EGGSP will benefit the population of Egypt, particularly the most vulnerable, because of the increased social allocations, including for coping with COVID-19, using the fiscal space that will be created by the reforms supported by the program. Furthermore, with near universal access to electricity in Egypt, the population will benefit from better energy service delivery and reliability. Promoting energy efficiency through the EGGSP will not only help the country make better use of its natural resources, but also help consumers reduce their expenditures on energy. Industries, including SMEs, should also benefit from the increased competitiveness in the energy sector that should help them improve their comparative advantages. EGGSP will benefit the GoE by supporting the continuation and deepening of the country’s comprehensive economic reform program for promoting sustainable development and green growth. The Program will benefit the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MoERE) and the public power utility (EEHC & EETC), NREA and Egypt ERA with improved financial positions, better governance and higher operational efficiencies.

Togo - Support Project for Youth Employability and Integration in Growth Sectors (PAEIJ-SP). The Support Project for Youth Employability and Integration in Growth Sectors (PAEIJ-SP) was initiated by the Togolese Ministry of Development at the Base, Handicrafts, Youth and Youth Employment (MDBAJEJ). It responds to the concern of youth employment in Togo and promotes entrepreneurship in growth sectors, particularly the agricultural sector. The project aims to provide a cyclical response to the integration needs of young people through support for entrepreneurship, particularly in agricultural value chains. Specific support for vulnerable populations from vulnerable and isolated villages will be provided to connect them to the economic dynamics that the project intends to stimulate in rural areas. It will be implemented through the agricultural value chain approach (from production to consumption, through processing and marketing) and the development of agro-industrial clusters (concentration or regrouping of producers, agro-entrepreneurs and support service providers that are engaged and interconnected in the same sub-sector and build valuable business networks to address common challenges). In addition, the project envisages to provide a structural solution to the underemployment of young people by developing tools for the prospective and adaptation of the vocational training system to the needs of the labor market. It covers the entire national territory with a particular focus on the poorest regions including the Savannah, Central and Plateaux regions. Its implementation started in 2016 for a period of 5 years.  The objective of this project is to create the conditions for more inclusive economic growth by improving youth employability and promoting entrepreneurship in growth sectors. It aims to create 19,600 jobs by 2020 and targets the maize, cassava, soybean, small ruminant and poultry sectors. The specific objectives are: (i) support to Producer Services Companies and Organizations (ESOPs) that have the required profiles, (ii) support to first-time entrepreneurs and producers along the identified agricultural value chains (AVCs), (iii) support for young graduates in business management to train them in entrepreneurship support.  About 150,000 people from the poorest regions will be affected (Savannah, Central and Plateau Regions). About 2,600,285 people from the regions of the interior, 50.7% of whom are women, will be indirectly affected. The project will specifically target 12 key established SMEs, 1200 young entrepreneurs (30% of whom are women), 14,200 producers/stockbreeders (40% of whom are women) and 200 women from vulnerable rural villages, 1000 young people trained in vocational training (VT) centres supported by the project, 40% of whom are women. The other project targets are 4 microfinance institutions (MFIs), one financial institution (FI) and 5 training centres in the same regions in order to train young people in trades with good prospects.

Togo - Project to support the implementation of Togo's national development plan 2018-2022. The proposed operation concerns a grant of UA 1,000,000 to the Republic of Togo under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TSF), to accelerate ownership of the implementation of the NDP 2018-2022. Indeed, the Togolese government launched in March 2019 its national development plan-PND 2018-2022, adopted in August 2018. To optimize and accelerate its implementation, it has requested support from its partners, including the Bank. The present project aims at providing this support for the Bank, articulated on the one hand around the provision of a body of high-level expertise to accompany the Executive and the main actors on strategic aspects related to the coordination of the structuring of financing, the structuring of the private sector, including SMEs-SMIs, and the structuring of steering and monitoring instruments. This support is articulated, on the other hand, around the provision of a budget line aimed at supporting the coordination activities of the main actors, to accelerate the operationalisation of the institutional mechanism. The project has two components: (i) strategic and operational support for the implementation of the NDP  and, (ii) project management. Its implementation period is 17 months, from August 2019 to December 2020.  The main objective of the project is to strengthen the ownership of the implementation of the NDP by the Togolese authorities. The specific objectives of the project are to: (i) strengthen the strategic steering of the NDP by the executive (Presidency of the Republic, Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Planning, and Ministry of Economy and Finance)  and, (ii) accelerate the establishment of the operational mechanism, coordination, and the functioning of the operational coordination bodies.  The main beneficiary structures are those linked to the coordination of the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP), notably: the Presidency of the Republic, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Planning, and the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Togo - Governance and Private Sector Development Support Project (PAGDSP). The proposed operation concerns a UA 2.5 million grant and a UA 8 million loan from the African Development Fund (ADF) to the Republic of Togo to finance the Governance and Private Sector Development Support Project (PAGDSP). The Bank's involvement is mainly informed by the need to continue strengthening the resilience of Togo, which remains in fragile situational though in the early stage of transition from fragility. PAGDSP will provide multi-faceted support focused on(i) strengthening the capacity to mobilise internal and external financial resources  (ii) improving gender-sensitive budget programming and strengthening the integrity of the expenditure chain  (iii) supporting transparency and accountability in public finance management  and (iv) bolstering the private sector’s capacity to increase its contribution to financing the economy. The project will help to improve the quality of life for the people of Togo by contributing to the establishment of a favourable institutional environment for implementing the new “Togo 2025”roadmap. PAGDSP implementation (January 2022 -December 2025) will enable the Bank not only to consolidate the gains of the PFM system strengthening, but also to broaden its support for the government’s private investment promotion measures.  The project’s overarching objective is to help improve the quality of life of the people of Togo by creating an institutional environment conducive for accelerating the implementation of the new “Togo 2025” roadmap for a strong, sustainable and inclusive economic growth. PAGDSP will provide multi-faceted capacity building support, with a strong focus on(i) the digitalisation of public finance management, and private sector promotion  and (ii) the targeted development of relevant skills. The project’s specific objectives are to (a) strengthen the capacity for mobilising internal and external financial resources  (b) improve resource allocation and strengthen the integrity of the expenditure chain, as well as gender-sensitive budgeting  (c) strengthen transparency and the fight against corruption  and (d) promote and develop the private sector.  The project area encompasses the whole of Togo. PAGDSP’s main direct beneficiaries are government institutions responsible for domestic resource mobilisation, programming, and budget management control  civil society organizations (CSOs)  and institutions in charge of private sector promotion. All the beneficiary institutions will be strengthened through the acquisition of working tools adapted to their missions, high-level technical assistance, and tailored training programmes. Overall, the project will benefit the entire Togolese population through the development of an institutional environment conducive to strengthening the efficiency of public spending and the development of private initiatives for inclusive growth capable of creating decent jobs, particularly for women and youth(women and men), thereby facilitating sustainable poverty reduction.

Togo - Support project for the promotion of investments and the development of private-public partnerships. The Support Project for Investment Promotion and Development of Private-Public Partnerships (PAPIDPPP) is an institutional support and capacity building operation aimed at supporting the Government's efforts to build a diversified and competitive economy, supported by a dynamic private sector. It consists of a grant of UA 1 000 000 to the Republic of Togo under the Transition Support Facility (TSF). The PAPIDPPP has three (3) components: (i) Support for the strengthening of the institutional framework for the development and monitoring of private-public partnerships (PPP)  (ii) Support for the mobilisation of financial and human resources for the implementation of the roadmap and (iii) Project management. These components as well as the activities to be undertaken within the framework of the project were discussed with the Ministry of Investment Promotion. Through this operation, the Bank intends to consolidate its previous interventions, particularly in the area of governance, which were aimed at improving the efficiency of the structures involved in the promotion of private investments. The overall cost of the project, excluding taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 1,111,000, equivalent to CFAF 859.61 million. The implementation period is eighteen (18) months.  The overall objective of the project is to support the Government's efforts to increase the contribution of the private sector in the mobilisation of resources necessary for the efficient implementation of the Road Map. More specifically, the project aims to support the establishment of an adequate institutional framework for: (i) the development of private-public partnerships (PPP) in the framework of the implementation of structuring projects  (ii) the reinforcement of skills through the implementation of a targeted training programme and the realisation of analytical works (sectoral studies) focused on the promotion of knowledge  (iii) improving the country's attractiveness to investors by improving the business climate and setting up a permanent, inclusive and representative framework for state-private sector dialogue  (iv) raising awareness of the strategic objectives of the roadmap in order to strengthen the commitment of stakeholders (state, civil society, private sector, TFPs) and thus contribute to the mobilisation of private investment.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the Ministry of Investment Promotion and the structures in charge of promoting the private sector, in particular those involved in the promotion of private-public partnerships (PPP), in particular the Agency for the Promotion of Investments and the Free Zone (API-ZF), and the business climate unit at the Presidency. The institutional capacities of the beneficiary structures will be strengthened, in particular through training and support by making high-level expertise available, and the preparation of studies and analytical work that contribute to the development of knowledge on the Togolese private sector and the promotion and structuring of PPP projects. The project will thus contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the Togolese population by participating in the establishment of an institutional environment favourable to the acceleration of the implementation of the new roadmap "Togo 2025".

Togo – Food Crisis Response and Emergency Support Programme. The Food Crisis Response and Emergency Support Programme for Togo (PRCASUT) is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) operation prepared under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). This is a Transition Support Facility (TSF) grant of UA 4 Million. The programme is broken down into two complementary components to sustainably increase food production: (i) facilitation of small-scale producers’ access to factors of production and agroclimatic information  and (ii) strengthening of the agricultural sector institutional framework. The measures supported by the Programme will contribute to the achievement of the following outcomes: (i) maize and rice productivity and production have increased  (ii) small producers’ access to the factors of production is facilitated  (iii) the institutional framework for facilitating small-scale producers’ access to the factors of production is strengthened. PRCASUT will be implemented from July 2022 to December 2023.  The Programme’s objective is to strengthen food sovereignty and build the resilience of smallscale producers to the impacts of the war in Ukraine. The specific objectives are to i) facilitate access by small-scale agricultural producers to climate-resilient seeds and highquality fertilisers and ii) reinforce the institutional framework of the agricultural sector.  The programme will allow 25,500 agricultural producers, 40% of whom will be women, to receive 500 tonnes of certified climate-resilient seeds and 7,700 tonnes of fertilisers, to sow about 25,500 additional hectares, to receive ago-climatic information and harvest about 37,500 tonnes of cereals.

Togo - Promotion of sanitation in semi-urban centers. This project is an important contribution to the implementation of Togo's National Development Plan, which is the benchmark for all Government actions aimed at promoting the country's economic and social development. This is a grant from the African Water Facility (AWF) Special Fund in an amount not exceeding EUR 1,250,000 for the Togolese Republic. Its implementation will make it possible for ten (10) urban centres, distributed in four of the five regions of Togo, to have a programme and a favourable framework for investment in the area of sanitation with the option of reclaiming its by-products to strengthen food security, employment opportunities and, in sum, economic and social welfare. The project includes both a catalytic component and an investment project preparation component. It covers two of the AWF's four strategic priorities, namely: (i) project preparation and promotion  and (ii) catalytic investments. Activities are organised around three components, namely: (1) Improvement of the sanitation value chain in Sokodé and its environs  (2) Preparation of SMPs and investment projects with a view to scaling up the TTS to 9 urban centres  (3) Project management. The expected duration of the Project is 24 months from the date of effectiveness of the Grant Agreement.  The objective of the project is to improve the living conditions of the urban communities of Togo. The specific objectives are to: (i) provide effective sanitation services  and (ii) prepare the investments needed to provide citywide inclusive waste management services.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are : (i) The population of Sokodé and the neighbouring towns located within a radius of 100 km, including Kara, representing approximately 1,050,000 inhabitants  (ii) The women and men of FéCAQSo who will benefit from capacity building in terms of equipment, administrative and financial management and leadership  (iii) The communities in the villages near the faecal sludge treatment plant which will be supplied with drinking water from the water tower  (iv) Vegetable farmers who will use the by-products of sanitation as manure for their farmland  (v) The 9 urban centres that will be provided with SMPs and investment projects for priority actions: Dzrekpo Centre in the Maritime Region  Kati, Avetonou, and Zogbegan in the Plateaux Region  Sokodé (consolidate the existing infrastructure)in the Central Region  Atchangbade and Sara in Kara Region  and Sagbibou, Biagou & Batebogou and Boade centre in the Savanes Region. These cities have a total estimated population of 1,361,202 in 2019, of which 52% are women. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are the private sector stakeholders active in sanitation, civil society, community-based micro-enterprises, as well as urban farmers.

Togo - Technical Assistance for the Feasibility Studies for the Project to build 20000 affordable Housing Units. In 2020, Togo elaborated the “Togo 2025 Roadmap”, to better address the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis that severely affected its economy. Thus, the Togo 2025 Roadmap constitutes the reference framework for government action and the interventions of technical and financial partners for the 2022-2025 period. Its vision of "A peaceful Togo, a modern nation with inclusive and sustainable economic growth" rests on three strategic thrusts: (i) Strengthening social inclusion and harmony and consolidating peace  (ii) Boosting job creation based on the economy’s strengths  and (iii) Modernising the country and strengthening its structures. The Roadmap covers several priority sectors including agriculture, fisheries, health, education, manufacturing, electricity, water, transport/logistics, construction and real estate. It also includes a portfolio of 42 priority projects and reforms.  The Bank's technical assistance will facilitate the structuring of the Government's 20,000 housing units project (at the legal and institutional levels) and finance studies for the development of the Kpomé pilot site with a view to preparing the layout and construction work. This intervention will thus contribute to the rapid start-up of this project, which will guarantee low-and middle-income households’ access to decent housing and better living conditions.  The Bank operation covers the whole of Togo. The studies under Component 1 will help the Government to better structure the real estate sector and to put in place an appropriate legal and institutional   framework   for   the   implementation   of   affordable   housing   projects   under   PPP arrangements.  However,  the  bulk  of  resources  will  be  devoted  to  technical  studies  for  the development of the Kpomé site, near Lomé. Indeed, over half of the demand for affordable housing comes from the Lomé metropolitan area, which hosts most of the country's administrative, economic, social and cultural activities. Within the WAEMU zone, the Togolese capital is also a key financial centre and a logistics and service hub. On account of these multiple roles, Lomé attracts people from the  rest  of  the  country,  which  explains  its huge  population and,  by  extension, the  many  urban challenges  it  faces  in providing services,  such  as  transport,  drinking  water supply,  sanitation  and housing.  In  2020,  the  population  of  the metropolitan  area was  estimated  at  1,827,878 inhabitants, 50% of them women, meaning that23% of the country’s total population occupies an area that is roughly 0.49% of the national territory.

Togo - Project to Support Young and Women Entrepreneurs in Job-Creating Value Chains. The proposed project aims to consolidate and strengthen the results achieved through the value chain approach that was successfully piloted under the Support Project for Youth Employability and Integration in Growth Sector (PAEIJ-SP). Approved by the AfDB Board of Directors on 22 August 2016, the PAEIJ-SP has supported 1,420 young individual entrepreneurs and 3,178 farmers’ groups whose incomes have increased on average by 41%. The project has created 55,397 direct jobs and supported 41 agro-industrial SMEs whose average turnover has risen from XOF 80 million to XOF 1.8 billion. The project will capitalise on the experience of the PAEIJ-SP, in terms of technical assistance and public-private partnership for the financing of young entrepreneurs. It intends to structure clusters around these SMEs and the new ones being identified, to create employment opportunities for young people and women. The project targets natural persons or legal entities producing marketable goods or services, employing less than 200 people, and whose annual turnover does not exceed XOF 1 billion, as defined in Togo’s MSME Charter of November 2021. The implementation strategy is based on the value-added chain (VAC) approach and the development of agro-industrial clusters, which consists in identifying SMEs in sectors with high growth potential, providing them with quality technical assistance and financing tailored to their needs, as well as supporting and integrating young entrepreneurs into their supply and distribution chains, thereby creating job opportunities.  The project’s objective is to promote inclusive growth and decent job creation for young people, through the development of entrepreneurial skills and access to financial and non-financial services. More specifically, it aims to: (i) strengthen the entrepreneurial skills of young people  (ii) boost the competitiveness and increase the market share of youth MSMEs  and (iii) increase the volume of financing provided to young entrepreneurs.  The project area covers the country’s five regions, but the activities are highly concentrated in the three poorest regions (Plateaux, Centrale and Savanes), whose populations, estimated at 2,600,285 inhabitants, are made up mainly of women (50.7%). These regions are home to at least 1,200 young entrepreneurs and 14,200 registered farmers/herders. In general, the main beneficiaries of the project are young people under 35 years of age, who account for more than a third (35%) of the population, or just over 2.9 million people out of Togo's 8.3 million inhabitants. Details on the profile and age limit are part of the young entrepreneur selection criteria, presented in Annex 2-2, and may be adjusted according to country and Bank policies and strategies. In total, some 9,278 individual enterprises, groups, or enterprises, 30% of them women-run, will be supported and directly financed. Furthermore, 12,000 young entrepreneurs, 40% of them women, will be trained and coached in entrepreneurial skills and professions.

Togo - Project to update and validate Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) for 31 semi-urban centers. The proposed operation involves a grant of up to 265,391 Euros to the Togolese Republic from the African Water Facility (AWF) Special Fund for the implementation of the Project to update and validate environmental and social impact studies for 31 semi-urban centres in Togo (PAVEIES-31CSUT). The project is a major contribution to the implementation of the government's 2025 roadmap. Its implementation will enable 31 urban centres in four regions of Togo to obtain funding for water infrastructure, thereby helping the population in semi-urban areas to increase their access to drinking water from 52.88% to 80%. It comprises two (2) components as follows: (i) Updating and validation of the environmental and social impact studies and the resettlement action plans  (ii) Project management. The products expected at the end of this project: (i) The ESIA and RAP study documents for the 31 semi-urban centres updated and validated by the ADB and ANGE  (ii) The environmental and social compliance certificates for the 31 semi-urban centres issued by ANGE/MERF  (iii) A monitoring and evaluation manual for SP-EAU drawn up and available. The estimated duration of the project is 12 months from the date of entry into force of the grant agreement.  The project forms part of the general objective of putting in place the legislative framework needed to mobilise funds  more specifically (i) providing ESIAs, RAPs and environmental compliance certificates for 31 semi-urban centres, and (ii) drawing up a monitoring and evaluation manual for the SP-EAU.  The direct beneficiary of the project is the Togolese state through SP_EAU, which will have the environmental documents needed to mobilise funds to build drinking water and sanitation infrastructure for the remaining 31 urban centres. The indirect beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the 31 semi-urban centres, the targets of this project, estimated at 160,247 (2022), including 83,329 women and 76,919 men.

Togo - Project to strengthen social cohesion in Togo. The Project to strengthen social cohesion (PRECOS), which was designed in a participatory manner with beneficiaries and local stakeholders and taking into account the interventions of the other partners mentioned above, will be implemented in the five municipalities affected by the terrorist attacks in the savannah region. PRECOS is to support the Government's efforts in restoring social cohesion and improving social inclusion. The program contributes to achieving the results of axes 1 and 2 of the FRG 2025 and is part of the strategies and action plans of the national development program (2018-2022). PRECOS contributes to financing the Savanes region emergency program (PURS) which was developed by the Government to strengthen the resilience of populations after the first terrorist attacks. The project will have synergy with the actions of other actors, notably: (i) UNICEF in the field of water and sanitation with the pre-positioning of emergency stocks such as water tarpaulins, tents, housing kits, hygiene kits  and (ii) Plan International Togo in the area of food security and the empowerment of young people and women through support for the structuring, provision of production kits and monitoring support for cooperatives. The project will be implemented through four (4) components, namely: (i) improving access of displaced populations to drinking water and hygiene services  (ii) building community capacities for sustainable income-generating activities and food security  (iii) strengthening the security and administration of the territory  (iv) institutional support and project management.

The project's final beneficiaries are the country’s population, in particular, taxpayers, informal sector operators and women entrepreneurs whose concerns will be taken into account in the activities carried out to broaden the tax base, modernize the tax system and communication awareness.

Togo - Multi-Country (Benin-Togo-Guinea) COVID-19 Response Support Programme. The proposed project is part of the COVID-19 Multi-Country Response Support Program (PAR-COVID-19) for a total amount of UA 49.1 million to the Republics of Togo, Benin and Guinea. The program was evaluated in April 2020, following requests from these countries to the Bank. All three countries recorded their first COVID-19 cases during the period 7-16 March 2020. As of 25 May, a total of 3,050 cases had tested positive in the three countries, including 1949 patients hospitalized and treated, 1,074 cured cases, and 27 deaths (representing an average case-fatality rate of 0.88%). The Program seeks to provide an emergency response to the health and socio-economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the three abovementioned countries which have many similarities. This is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) operation. The measures supported by the Program will be implemented over a 12-month period starting in June 2020 and will contribute to the achievement of the following outcomes: (i) strengthening of screening capacity  (ii) improvement of national coverage in patient isolation structures  and (iii) mitigation of the socio-economic effects of the health crisis. This intervention concerns the component of the program dedicated to Togo, the cost of which is estimated at UA 20 million.  PAR-COVID-19 seeks to help strengthen the health and socio-economic resilience of the three countries to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The supported reforms are aimed at strengthening the health response measures and efforts to mitigate the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. Although supporting urgent measures, the program thus prepares countries for more structuring reforms during the post-crisis period, in line with the pillars of ADF-15, namely improving the business environment and institutional capacity to build resilience.  PAR-COVID-19 will directly benefit the ministry in charge of the economy and finance by financing the national budget and will have an impact on all Togolese populations, the ultimate beneficiaries of budget of budget implementation. More specifically, all vulnerable groups such as low-income households in both urban and rural areas, as well as private sector businesses will benefit from the emergency measures supported by the program.

Master Plan  for The Rehabil Struct Nile. The master plan study for the rehabilitation/replacement of major hydraulic structures on the nile is designed in order to ensure an efficient planning of future interventions. Availability of a Master Plan as envisaged under the proposed study should assist the Government of Egypt (GoE) in efficiently planning future capital investment interventions and the mobilization of the resources required for the improvement of the over 200 old but vital hydraulic structures on the Nile. This study consists of three main components: i) site investigations and the development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) database, detailed inspections and data collection for 200 hydraulic structures in 75 locations  ii) safety evaluations and the development of a Decision Support System (DSS)  and iii) the development of a dynamic Master Plan, the undertaking of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Master Plan and the preparation of a capital investment project for one priority major structure identified under the study. Its area covers the location of the following structures: (a) 11 Main barrages on the Nile River  (b) 21 Head regulators at the off-takes of canals from the Nile  (c) 44 Intermediate regulators within Major canals  (d) 124 smaller structures located within irrigation canals.  The sector goal of the project is to improve water resources management in Egypt by introducing sector reforms and through the implementation of improved water use and conservation programmes. The objective of the study is to assess and design improvements of major hydraulic structures and thus contribute to the implementation of Egypt’s Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) plan.  The Government of Egypt (GoE) is the main beneficiary of this study, as it will use its outcomes for the efficient planning of capital investment projects for the rehabilitation or the replacement of hydraulic control structures as well as for the mobilisation of resources required for these investments. Other direct beneficiaries of the study include the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) and its major sectors, Consultants, and other stakeholders of the Water, Agriculture and Transportation sectors in Egypt. The ultimate beneficiaries of the outcomes of the study include the millions of farmers who depend on Nile irrigation water for their livelihoods and who stand to benefit from implementation of the recommendations of the study as regards the efficient allocation and distribution of water and the protection of farmlands and lives from floods.

Ghana - Eastern corridor road development programme - phase 1. The Transport Sector in Ghana has been providing efficient transportation services that serve as a catalyst  for  economic  growthanchoring  on  itsvision to provide “an  integrated,  efficient,  cost-effective and sustainable transportation system responsive tothe needs of society, supporting growth and poverty reduction and capable of establishing and maintaining Ghana as a transportation hub of West Africa”.The Eastern Corridor along which this project is located is defined as National Road -N2 -approximately 695kmand one of three north-south corridors (Eastern, Central and Western corridors)  in  the  country,linking  the  southern  coastal  seaports  to  the  hinterland  and landlocked neighbours in the north. Itis a strategic alternative route to the main Central Corridor, shorterrouteby  almost  200km  and does  not  have  as  many  bottle-necks such  as major  urbanised  towns. This proposed project is expected to be financed by the Bank, OFID and GoG and parallel financed with  JICA.  The primary objective of the Eastern Corridor Development Programme (Phase 1)is to contributetowards an efficient transportation system that promotes Ghana’s ports and corridors to enhance inclusiveness, stimulate socio-economic development and facilitate domestic and regional  trade  and integration.The  specific  objective  of  the  project  isto:  i)enhanced  travelalong the Eastern Corridor ii) reduce road accidents  iii) improve basic social service delivery  iv)increasein value added agricultural products and exports  v) improved transit trade.  The  direct  beneficiaries  of  this  road  project  includes  transporters  along  the  road  and community dwellers mostly engaged in farming, agro-processing, trading, social services and tourism.  The  target  population  of  over  5.4  million  are  to  benefit  from  the  project.  The beneficiaries  aremainly  the most  vulnerable  segments  of  the  population  including  youth, women and children with emphasis on rural poor in the beneficiary districts-Shai-Osudoku, North Tongu, and Ho-West.

Ghana - Cocoa Sector Institutional Support Project (COSISP). The proposed operation concerns an ADF loan in the amount of UA 5,000,000 to the Republic of Ghana to finance the Cocoa Sector Institutional Support Project (COSISP). COSISP is an institutional support project to improve the performance of the Ghana Cocoa Board, COCOBOD. This project is designed to support reforms and build institutional capacity which will strengthen the resilience of the cocoa sector and improve farmers’ incomes. It aims to promote reforms and build capacity, including coordination with Côte d’Ivoire. The project is part of package of financial and technical support to the two countries by the AfDB and the World Bank. The different activities will contribute to an enabling cocoa sector environment through increased transparency and effectiveness in COCOBOD operations, which will promote higher productivity and prices for farmers. The project will also improve harmonization of policies between Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, which will support productivity enhancement through collaboration on research, disease control, the prevention of smuggling, and better management of production and stocks, which may influence global cocoa prices.  The development objective is to improve the performance of the cocoa sector to increase cocoa farmers’ revenues and reduce poverty. The specific project objectives are i) to support institutional reforms, and ii) to support capacity-building. The two main components of the project correspond to these two objectives. A third component, for project management, will be funded by COCOBOD.  The project zone is roughly the southern half of the country. The Western Region will benefit in particular, since over half of all cocoa is grown in this region and future growth there is expected to remain strong. The primary beneficiaries will be cocoa farmers, many of whom are producing below the productive capacity of their cocoa farms and will therefore see their income increase. Shifting input supply to the private sector will reduce the industry costs, which are deducted from the f.o.b price before calculating the minimum 70% to be paid to the farmers through the farm gate price. Thus the price paid to farmers will increase. New investments in IT solutions will reduce or eliminate leakages so that subsidies reach the farmers.

Ghana - Incentive-Based Risk-Sharing System for Agricultural Lending Project (GIRSAL). The Ghana Incentive-Based Risk-Sharing System for Agricultural Lending Project (GIRSAL) is designed within the context of Ghana’s ongoing agricultural transformation including the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II” (GSGDA II). The Project will enhance agriculture financing and sector transformation through increased capital inflows into critical value chains. Indeed, the role of GIRSAL is to help accelerate financing and interconnectedness of the agriculture sector to ensure that across its key components, it is functioning at optimal levels. The project is structured to support agriculture across the nation and views its national footprint as critical to providing support for Ghana’s balance of payments, macroeconomic stability, economic growth, food and nutrition security, job creation and poverty reduction. GIRSAL’s catalytic role in mobilizing private sector financing for agriculture will be critical to the success of emerging Government of Ghana initiatives such as the One District One Factory (1D1F) initiative. The initiative promotes agro-industrialization that will provide massive employment and wealth through value addition activities. The Project will have two Components: (i) Promoting de-risking for the Agriculture Sector  (ii) Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation. GIRSAL will also leverage on the activities of the Savannah Zone Agricultural Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP) and link up with Transformation of the African Savannah Initiative (TASI) as a vehicle for attracting private sector investment in agriculture. Furthermore, the Project will provide technical assistance, entrepreneurship and business management training to value chain actors to improve their business operations. The total cost is estimated at UA 44.64 million.  The integrated development objective of the Project is to transform access to finance and risk sharing across agricultural value chains. Doing so will boost food and nutrition security, job and wealth creation. The specific Project objective is : To increase formal sector lending to across the agricultural value chain especially the upstream, primary stages by sharing the risk of lending with financial institutions. Such increased lending backed by GIRSAL’s credit guarantee is expected to mobilize credit creation and strengthening of agribusinesses. That will in turn help to increase incomes of actors along selected value chains on a sustainable basis.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are commercial and universal banks, specialized lenders, microfinance companies, private sector investors and other types of private equity sources. Indirect beneficiaries include the majority of non-subsistence farmers, namely commercial farmers of all sizes, input suppliers, logistics service providers, processors and retailers.

Ghana - Greater Accra Sustainable Sanitation and Livelihoods Improvement Project. The Greater Accra Sustainable Sanitation and Livelihoods Improvement Project aims to increase access to safe and sustainable sanitation to the residents of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (GAMA), targeting the urban and periurban poor residents. It will provide domestic and municipal level sanitation infrastructure, support skills development and livelihood improvements, and enhance the capacity of sanitation service providers and the participating local government authorities to better deliver and manage climate resilient sanitation services within GAMA. Indeed, only 20% of Ghana’s urban population has access to improved sanitation, making Ghana one of the lowest covered countries in Africa. The present project supports Ghana’s National Environmental Sanitation Policy that seeks to improve environmental and public health. This support should be done through: (i) provision of improved sanitation infrastructure and services  (ii) strengthening capacity of local government authorities (MMAs) for monitoring, enforcement and regulation  and (iii) reduced dependence on public finance for construction as well as operation and maintenance. The project comprises five (05) components, namely: 1) Sustainable Household and School Sanitation and Hygiene  2) Improved Waste Management Infrastructure and Services  3) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Improvement  4) Enhanced Livelihoods and Improved Economic Wellbeing  and 5) Project Management.  The overall objective of the Project is to improve the socio-economic well-being and health standards of the urban poor within the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area. The specific objectives are (a) to increase access to improved and sustainable climate resilient sanitation and hygiene with improved livelihoods for the urban poor, and (b) to strengthen public and private sector capacity to better deliver and manage sanitation infrastructure and services.  The direct project beneficiaries are about 1.9 million people living in low income urban areas who will benefit from the hygiene education messages and improved off-site treatment of both solid and liquid waste. Of these, 137,000 people will also gain access to improved household and school sanitation facilities, and about 6,500 individuals and SMEs will benefit from training and will be equipped in sanitation services delivery, maintenance of equipment and general business skills to enhance their inclusiveness and potential for income generation. Another approximate 1.8 million urban GAMA residents (not necessarily low income) will be indirect beneficiaries of the improved environment resulting from the interventions in septage and solid waste management under the project.

Ghana - Agri-Based Rural Enterprises Project. The Agri-based Rural Enterprises Project (AB-REP) aims to contribute to the reduction of rural poverty by focusing its support on small-scale rural entrepreneurs. It's conceived because of the need to support a wide range of activities and economic operators in the rural world, in order to produce a significant impact on the poverty in rural areas. The project should provide a strategic combination of relevant services accompanied by local institutional capacity building, for sustainable Small Scale Enterprises (SSE) development, using a client demand-driven and cost-sharing approach. It should generate additional incomes through new jobs, strengthen existing ones and diversify present income-generating activities so as to increase income for an estimated 90 000 wage jobs and 40 000 SSE operations (self employed). The project comprises four components, namely: (i) technology transfer and skills development, (ii) rural finance access, (iii) rural enterprise institutions and (iv) project co-ordination.  The sector goal is to contribute to poverty reduction in rural areas and reduce rural/urban disparity by increasing rural production, employment and incomes. The project objective is to contribute to the development of thriving rural enterprises in participating districts.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: the most vulnerable rural poor population, rural poor entrepreneurs, with business potential and who should benefit from improved skills and access to resources. In addition, the focus should be on women, unemployed and underemployed youth.

Ghana - Rural Enterprises Programme III (REP III). The present intervention is the third phase of Rural Enterprises Programme (REP Phase III) which is designed within the context of the agricultural modernization and micro and small-scale enterprises development priorities of Ghana. It also supports Ghana’s Industrial Policy, which addresses the need to grow micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to foster diversification of the economy and employment creation. The current phase aims at scaling up the impact and outcome results of earlier phases (REP I and II). It is the Bank’s response to meeting Ghana’s Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA) and emphasizes inclusive growth, youth employment, and women economic empowerment. It has four components: (1) Creation of Business Development Services (BDS)  (2) Development of Agricultural Commodity Processing Infrastructure (ACPI)  (3) Creation of Enabling Business Environment (EBE)  and (4) Programme Coordination and Management (PCM). REP III is part of the Government of Ghana’s efforts to reduce poverty and improve living conditions in rural areas, by promoting the infrastructure, technologies, and skills needed for private sector development. It will create 100,000 new jobs, through its various activities. It will be implemented over five years, in 161 out of 170 rural districts of Ghana.  The sector goal of the REP III is to improve the livelihoods of rural micro and small-scale entrepreneurs (MSEs).

Democratic Republic of the Congo - Financial Sector Development and Financial Inclusion Support Project in DRC (PADSFI). PADSFI is an institutional support of UA 9.41 million (USD 12.04 million) to the Democratic Republic of Congo from ADF 15 resources. It aims to support financial sector development and financial inclusion. It is aligned with the Economic Recovery Support Project (PAREC) and the Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Public Finance Modernisation Support Project (PAMRIM-FP), whose intervention areas are intrinsically linked to the objectives of this project, particularly as regards support for resource mobilisation and improved access to financial services for vulnerable people. The Bank's intervention will achieve the following five (5) project outcomes: (i) mobilisation of long-term resources (including green finance) by broadening the investor base and revising the regulatory frameworks  (ii) improved access of more than 25 million vulnerable populations (women, young people, rural populations, and MSMEs) to basic and adapted financial services, through increased interoperability of digital financial services, due to the effective participation of at least twenty financial service providers in the national switch by 2026 compared to 7 only today  (iii) stability of the financial sector through operationalisation of the central payment incidents centre and the Financial Services Quality Observatory (OQSF)  (iv) availability of disaggregated data on financial inclusion (gender, sector, rural/urban area etc)  and (v) capacity building for DRC's financial services ecosystem stakeholders (i.e. 80 microfinance institutions, 60 cooperatives, 4 e-money issuers, 14 commercial banks, 2 non-bank financial institutions and the BCC).  The Bank's intervention, through PADSFI, is justified by the need to support DRC in modernising its financial system and creating structural conditions for strong, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. At the national level, achieving this objective requires deepening the financial sector and broadening the investor base, as well as strengthening financial inclusion, especially for women, young people, MSMEs, and rural populations. Specifically, and under a concerted and holistic approach, achieving the targeted objective requires the involvement of all stakeholders in the financial services ecosystem.  PADSFI is a nationwide project, hence, its activities are expected to cover all DRC regions. The project beneficiaries include both public and private sector actors. The direct beneficiaries are the DRC Government, through the Central Bank of Congo (BCC) whose technical and operational capacities will be strengthened by the implementation of project activities, and the Ministry of Finance through the Public Securities Market Committee (CTPDI) comprising the Departments of the Budget, Treasury, and Public Debt, as well as local actors in charge of supervising the financial sector who will benefit from capacity building programmes. The target groups are banks, MFIs, non-bank financial institutions, insurance companies, and asset managers who will benefit from the project through the activities that will be carried out at the level of the BCC and the Ministry of Finance. Ultimately, the project will benefit the entire DRC population, particularly women, MSMEs, young people, and local populations through improved access to financial services and enhanced protection of their rights and personal data.

DRC - Governance and Skills Development Project to Support the Agricultural Transformation Programme (PAGDC - PTA) –. This project is the Bank's first contribution to the operationalisation of Pillars III and IV of the Agricultural Transformation Programme (PTA).The DRC Pact for Food and Agriculture (known as the Agriculture Compact) aims to ensure rapid structural transformation of the country's agricultural sector. The Pact's subsidiary objectivesare to: (i) increase farmers’ productivity  (ii) ensure the connectivity of production areas to agro-industrial processing centres and markets  (iii) improve the quality of the human capital of farmers, women and young people  and (iv) improve the governance of agricultural value chains based on Decentralised Territorial Entities, processing centres and agricultural markets.  The overall objective of the project is to support agricultural transformation in the DRC by improving the investment climate in the agricultural sector, the quality of the workforce and the promotion of entrepreneurship in agricultural value chains in support of the PTA. Specifically, the PAGDC-PTA aims to (i) improve the investment climate in the agricultural sector  (ii) support the skills training system and professional integration in agricultural value chains  (iii) strengthen the institutional framework and improve the business climate for youth and women’s entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector.  Project activities will focus on the target area of the first phase of the PTA-RDC. The target area is composed of the main growth and subsistence poles already identified in the context of previous studies conducted by the FAO in 2022, as well as the decentralised territorial entities (ETDs) that constitute the main production areas for eight priority commodities already identified under the Integrated Emergency Community Development Programme (PUIDC): (i) the growth pole around Kinshasa (western part) (ii) the subsistence pole in the northern forest areas  and (iii) the subsistence pole in the central and southern savannahs. The programme will be implemented in three phases. Based on the mapping of the growth poles, the first phase will focus mainly on 10ETDs in five provinces of the DRC, namely: Kongo Central, Kasaï-Oriental, Nord-Ubangi, Sud-Ubangi and Tshopo. The direct beneficiaries will be the 25,000 young people (50% young women) as well as the 500 (50% women) facilitators targeted in the 10 ETDs for skills development, agribusiness and capacity building  and the indirect beneficiaries  will  be  the  population  of  around  17  million  people  (51%  women)  in  the  five  target  provinces  as  well  as  the population  of  the  DRC  as  a  whole,  who  will  benefit  from  the national  reforms  that  will  be  implemented  under  the  project (legal and regulatory environment, standardisation, certification, upgrading, capacity building of ETDs).

South Africa - COVID-19 Response Support Programme (SACRSP). The South Africa COVID-19 Response Support Program (SACRSP) results from a request from the Government of South Africa (GoSA) dated 4May 2020. South Africa confirmed its first case of COVID-19 on March 5, 2020 and is currently the most affected in Africa, and among the top ten in the world in terms of confirmed cases (276,242 as at July 13, 2020 with 4,079 deaths). To respond to COVID-19 the Government, on 21 April 2020, unveiled a stimulus package of R500 billion and on 5 May, the National Treasury (NT) indicated its intention to mobilize USD 10 billion (UA 7.3b) from Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) to provide support to the economy and to address the financing needs arising from the COVID-19 shock. The operation is designed as a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) Operation and financed by a loan of R 5,008,164,000.00 (Five billion eight million one hundred sixty-four thousand South Africa Rand) equivalent of UA 210m (Two hundred and ten million Unit of Account) from the African Development Bank resources under the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). Its implementation consists of three broad mutually reinforcing components derived from the policy objectives. Component 1 seeks to contain the pandemic in order to facilitate the phased reopening of the economy planned by the authorities  component 2 seeks to safeguard livelihoods and to cushion the poor and vulnerable from the adverse effects of the pandemic while component 3 focuses on economic resilience firstly to safeguard jobs which will be quite critical to ease the burden of the various socio-protection measures on individuals, society, business and state and secondly to catalyse economic recovery.  The purpose of the program is to support the GoSA’s efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and to mitigate its economic and social impacts. It’s operational policy objectives are to: (i) Protect Lives and promote access to essential COVID 19 goods (ii) Protect Livelihoods by preserving jobs, incomes food security and access to essential public services (iii) Protect Firms by supporting Enterprises in the formal and informal economy to withstand the impacts of COVID-19 and prepare for economic recovery.  The program will benefit the entire population. It will contribute to the safeguarding of the livelihoods of vulnerable men and women through gender inclusive social protection and economic relief schemes. This includes new categories of people who have become vulnerable due to COVID-19. In addition, the program will benefit the private sector (including MSMEs) and financial sector actors (such as banks that are partnering with Government to deliver the stimulus package). Businesses owned by women, youth, historically disadvantaged groups and persons with disabilities are a specific target groups. The program also looks to support the informal sector and the unemployed particularly in townships and rural communities.

SOUTH AFRICA - Energy Governance and Climate Resilience Programme. The Energy Governance and Climate Resilience Programme (EGCRP) is a USD 300 million energy sector budget support (SBS) African Development Bank (ADB) loan to the Republic of South Africa (RoSA) in support of the Government’s Energy Transition. The programme is being designed to support economic recovery and the implementation of the Energy Transition. It will support the Government in its efforts to accelerate economic growth, reduce fiscal burden and implement energy sector policy, institutional and governance reforms to improve energy supply and ensure a just energy transition while safeguarding access and affordability of electricity for the poor. The expected outputs are a reduced Eskom debt burden, enhanced low-carbon and resilient energy systems  finance raised through carbon tax  increased budget allocation to ensure poor and indigent households have electricity and engendered incentives for households and MSMEs to invest in renewable energy. The package of reforms under the proposed programme is organised around three mutually reinforcing and complementary components: (1) transformed structure of the energy sector and improved governance of the public company, (2) climate change resilience and renewable energy production will expand the supply of renewable energy and contribute to emission reductions, (3) equitable/fair energy transition will promote dialogue on the implementation of a just transition, mitigating the impact of the energy transition on livelihoods, and provide poor communities and small businesses, including households and businesses run by women and young people, with affordable access to electricity.  The Programme Development Objective to improve energy sector governance, enhance private sector participation and encourage a just transition to a lower carbon and greener future. Its specific objectives include i) structural reform of the energy industry to provide access to the transmission network on a non-discriminatory basis and develop a trading platform on a multi-market basis  ii) improve the performance of the energy SOE Eskom through enhancing its fiscal sustainability by resolving its debt problem and improving revenue collection capabilities from municipalities and unbundling the utility through operationalizing an independent transmission company iii) increasing private sector investment and generation capacity from renewable sources in the energy sector iv) Lowering the carbon foot-print of the South African economy and improving financing for green projects) Protecting the livelihoods and needs of the poorest communities affected by the transition through ensuring access to electricity in the context of the transition and developing new job pathways.  The programme’s direct beneficiaries are the Government of South Africa - the NT, DPE, DMRE, MPE, Eskom, the DSD and the DWYPD. The EGCRP will benefit the private sector with improved energy supply (reliability) in the longer term. The focus on just transition in the third pillar will also benefit the communities and municipalities that are directly impacted by the transition away from coal. Indigent and poor households will benefit from the increased FBE allocation while households and small businesses will optimize the opportunity of the tax incentives to invest in renewable alternatives. The programme will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of South Africa who will benefit from greater access to energy, improved health as GHG emissions reduce ability to ability to exploit new job opportunities and the expanded fiscal space for all government activity including for health, education and social protection needs.

South Africa - Medupi  Power Project. Medupi power project will stabilise the electricity trade in the Southern Africa Region. It consists of the construction of a coal-fired base load power plant in Lephalale, Limpopo Province, comprising of six units with an installed capacity of 4,764 MW. Although the project is located in Limpopo province, the project will feed into national electricity grid and the entire country will reap benefits through reliable power supply. The construction of the power plant commenced in May 2008. The first unit will be commissioned by February 2012, and each subsequent unit will be commissioned at an interval of six months. The plant will deploy the super-critical boiler technology with increased plant efficiency, reduced coal consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. These units are planned as direct dry-cooled units such as those at the existing Matimba power station, thereby reducing water consumption requirement in significant ways compared to wet cooling technology. The project is estimated to cost Euro 11.19 billion.  The objective of the Project is to increase the country’s generation capacity and improve reserve margin in order to adequately, efficiently and reliably serve electricity demand in the country and in the Southern Africa Region.  Since Eskom’s power system is an influential part of the Southern Africa Power Pool, the entire Southern Africa will benefit from the project.

South Africa - Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa. The project will provide a 1-billion South African rand (ZAR) (About USD 117 million) sovereign guaranteed line of credit to the Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa  for on-lending to the country’s emerging farmers, commercial farmers as well as to agricultural cooperatives and agri-related businesses. Thus, this LoC will be dedicated to the agricultural sector which is generally labor-intensive. The credit, which also includes a technical assistance component for capacity building at Land Bank and at the level of its loan beneficiaries, particularly the emerging farmers, will enable the government’s to support, promote and facilitate the development and transformation of the agricultural sector in South Africa given its potential for addressing poverty alleviation, enhancing food security and job creation.  This project will help mobilize financial resources for the agricultural sector and help create jobs and incomes.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the South African Government, Land and Agricultural Development Bank, emerging black farmers, rural communities, women, agricultural enterprises, cooperatives and agro-industries.

South Africa - ESKOM II Power project. The project is part of a solution package provided by the African Development Bank to Eskom in response to South Africa’s request for assistance to address its energy crisis. It consists of a senior corporate loan to support Eskom’s 5-year (2015 – 2020) rolling capacity expansion program (CEP). This includes construction and refurbishment of generation and transmission capacity to meet SA’s and regional demand. Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd is a 100% South African state-owned power utility and is the country’s primary electricity supplier. Eskom is also a cornerstone partner to the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP), as it trades about 5% of its energy output with neighboring countries. It owns and operates 27 power stations with a net maximum generating capacity of 42 GW. The CEP will enable Eskom to increase its electricity reserve margin, thus reducing reliance on expensive diesel-fired power, while strengthening its network reliability and redundancy, thereby enabling the off-take from renewable energy IPPs. Eskom’s CEP is focused on catalyzing economic growth and job creation in South Africa and the wider region. The CEP is also aimed at restoring SA’s business competitiveness, while improving health (i.e. reducing respiratory deaths/accidents), promoting gender equality (e.g., women spending less time collecting firewood/business opportunities).  The project objective is to assist Eskom to implement its capacity expansion program (CEP), to build energy security in South Africa and the larger region, thus breeding new economic competitiveness in the continent.  The main beneficiaries of the project are: the Government of South Africa (GoSA) and the Eskom Holdings SOC Limited.

South Africa - ESKOM II Loan. The corporate loan will assist Eskom, South Africa’s electricity company, to complete its Capacity Expansion Program (CEP). The program, to be rolled out over a 5-year rolling period (2015/16 – 2019/20), will deliver major transmission lines, refurbishments, substations, and additional generation, including completion of: Ingula Plant (1332 MW), Medupi Plant (4764 MW) and Kusile Plant (4800 MW). This will enable Eskom to increase its generation capacity, reduce reliance on expensive diesel-fired power consequently contributing to its medium/long-term financial sustainability. This will breed new economic competitiveness in South Africa and the wider region. Through its combined public and private sector interventions, the Bank will seek to strengthen the dialogue with Eskom so as to ensure adherence to international best practices.  The program is aimed at restoring South Africa’s business competitiveness, while improving health (i.e. reducing respiratory deaths/accidents), promoting gender equality (e.g., women spending less time collecting firewood/business opportunities), and increasing access to ICT for the population.  Eskom’s CEP is focused on catalyzing economic growth and job creation in South Africa and the wider region. For example, 9940 new jobs will be created and 13406 new connections made.

Equatorial Guinea - The Health System Development Support Project. The Health System Development Support Project is a follow up to the adoption of the National Economic and Social Development Plan for 2020 that was an outcome of the second economic conference held in November 2007. It will help to reduce poverty reduction by contributing to the achievement of the objectives defined in this policy paper, particularly increasing access to social services and improving their quality. The project is consistent with the 2008-2012 Bank strategy for Equatorial Guinea in that it will contribute to human capital development so as to provide the country with quality public services in health and education. The expected outcome is improvement in the health status and well-being of the population. The following achievements will support efforts in recent years by the Government of Equatorial Guinea to broaden health infrastructure and immunization coverage: (i) building of the planning and management capacities of the MSBES, (ii) strengthening of basic health infrastructure coverage, and (iii) maternal health promotion and control of communicable diseases. The expected outcomes of these efforts are as follows: (i) enhanced leadership of the MSBES in the implementation of sector reforms required to improve the performance of the health system  (ii) an increase in geographical accessibility of basic health facilities  (iii) development of the skills of health personnel, improvement of the technical quality of care, and increased antenatal and obstetrical coverage.  The sector goal of the project is to improve the status of health of the population by reducing child mortality (MDG No. 4), improving maternal health (MDG No. 5), and controlling communicable diseases (MDG No. 6). Specifically, the objective of the project is to build the capacities of the national health system in the control of communicable diseases and quality health care delivery.  The direct beneficiaries of the maternal health and blood safety promotion will be pregnant women and women of child-bearing age who account for 10% of the population and comprise about 101,500 persons. Children under 5 years old, who make up 22% of the population and comprise 223,300 persons, will benefit from the immunization services. The technical skills of the health personnel, over 60% of whom are women, all categories considered, will be upgraded. Over half of the personnel to be trained will be women. The population of Equatorial Guinea on the whole will benefit directly from the health system capacity building activities, which will also have a direct impact on the quality of care provided, the general improvement of health, and national output.

Equatorial Guinea - Poverty Reduction Project. The Poverty Reduction Project aims to mitigate negative impacts of the structural adjustment programmes embarked upon from 1988. It’s designed in response to the desire by the Government of Equatorial Guinea to implement a poverty reduction project. The project should involve intermediation structures such as NGO/CBOs to manage the micro-credit award and recovery scheme. The expected outputs are: i) Putting in place of credit networks  ii) Credit to micro-enterprises Implementation of microenterprises Self-sustained system  iii) Granting of credits to the poor and vulnerable group.

Equatorial Guinea - Support for the Development of Value Chains in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector (PASPA). The Support Project for the Development of Value Chains in the Fisheries and Acquaculture Sector (PASPA) in Equatorial Guinea is a Country Strategy Paper (CSP) 2018-2022 implementation tool that is based on two pillars: (i) support agricultural transformation for economic diversification and (ii) strengthen capacity for public policy formulation and implementation. The project proposes to increase and enhance fish production through sustainable development of industrial fishing, artisanal fishing and aquaculture, and to strengthen the drinking water and sanitation infrastructure. It aligns with the first pillar by supporting the transformation of the fisheries and aquaculture sector in the REG. It will stimulate investment in the sector and promote the national private sector and youth employment by matching training with employment and the emergence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) which will contribute towards improving youth employability in the sector. PASPA, which will cost EUR 69.968 million, will be implemented over a 5-year period in partnership with the ILO, particularly for the stakeholder capacity building component. The project's interventions concern all value chains (production, conservation, processing and marketing) for the three (3) sub-sectors, namely artisanal fishing (maritime and inland), industrial fishing and aquaculture. This will ultimately help improve fish supply to the domestic market, reduce imports, export to countries of the sub-region, increase incomes and improve youth employability as well as drinking water and sanitation access.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to improved food security and living conditions of the target populations by promoting value chains of the fisheries and aquaculture sector. Its specific objective is to: (i) increase and enhance fish production through sustainable development of aquaculture, artisanal fishing and industrial fishing, and (ii) strengthen drinking water infrastructure and sanitation. This will ultimately help to improve the supply of fish (fresh and smoked) to the domestic market, reduce imports, export to countries of the sub-region, increase incomes and improve youth employability as well as drinking water and sanitation access.  In terms of beneficiaries, the project aims to directly support 500 created MSMEs, 300 cooperatives and groups, and to provide targeted support to young, female and male entrepreneurs, novices and experienced alike, engaged in fisheries and aquaculture and hydraulics sectors. The bulk of the country's total population (923,393 inhabitants or 75%) is concentrated in the project area  the project beneficiaries are estimated at 80% of this population, i.e. nearly 739,000 men and women, including 277,000 direct beneficiaries. In total, more than 15,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created, including at least 70% for women and youth.

Equatorial Guinea - Public Finance Modernization Support Project (PAMPF). The proposed operation concerns the granting of an EUR 26.5436 million loan from the ADB window to the Republic of Equatorial Guinea to finance the Public Finance Modernisation Support Project (PAMFP). This is an institution building operation to be implemented over the period 2019-2023, with a view to supporting the authorities in their efforts to enhance governance and modernize public finance management in the context of an International Monetary Fund (IMF)-supported economic and financial reform programme, in accordance with the resolutions of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) Heads of State Summit held in Yaoundé in 2016 on the restoration of the budgetary and external sustainability of the region. PAMFP will comprise three components: (i) Support to enhance the mobilization of non-oil revenue  (ii) Support to enhance the public expenditure effectiveness and control  and (iii) Project management. The first component will help improve non-oil resources mobilization to enable the country to gradually exit from dependency on oil resources, and reduce vulnerability to abrupt and prolonged changes in oil prices. The second component will help enhance public expenditure effectiveness, transparency, control, accountability and capacity for managing the economy. Lastly, the third component will ensure the effective implementation of the project.  The overall objective of the project is to help improve public finance management by increasing the effectiveness of revenue mobilization and ensuring greater efficiency in public expenditure management. The specific objectives are as follows: (i) modernize the public finance management regulatory framework to ensure that the Government’s actions are performance-and results-oriented  (ii) computerize and interconnect revenue and Public Finance Management departments and other departments of the Ministry of Finance, Economy and Planning to enhance rigor, transparency, control and efficiency in the management of public resources  and (iii) build public finance management capacity.  The direct beneficiaries of this institutional support project are: the Directorate-General of Taxation (DGI), the Directorate-General of Customs (DGD), the Directorate-General of Budget (DGB), the Directorate-General of Financial Control (DGCF), the Directorate-General of the Treasury, the Directorate-General of Public Accounting, the Directorate-General of Autonomous Entities and Public Enterprises, the Directorate-General of Investment Planning, the Directorate General of the Autonomous Amortization Fund of Public Debt (CAAPD), and officers and executives of the Ministry of Finance, Economy and Planning. In a broader perspective, the country's entire population will benefit from this project. The people will benefit from the improved internal resource mobilization and increased transparency and efficiency in public expenditure management, as these would lead to greater efficiency in economic development financing and an improvement in the quality of life.

São Tomé and Príncipe - Economic Reform and Power Sector Support Program – Phase I (ERPSSP-I). The proposed operation is a grant of UA 5 million to the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe to finance the Economic Reform and Power Sector Support Program- Phase I (ERPSSP-I). This is the first phase of a program-based budget support operation covering fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021, with an overall indicative financing of UA 10 million. ERPSSP supports the government’s reform efforts critical to guaranteeing macroeconomic stability and laying the foundations for sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The Bank is supporting both the country’s fiscal consolidation efforts to address short-term macroeconomic risks, and its strategic reform program to set the basis for sustainable and inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. ERPSSP-I presents the multi-annual framework of the program and provides a list of reform measures considered as indicative triggers for the second phase and third phases (ERPSSP-II and ERPSSP-III). The operation is in response to a request submitted by the Sao Tome and Principe authorities in February 2019. Designed using a complementary approach with other Bank operations (PAGEF, ETISP) as well as with the operations of other TFPs while ensuring full ownership by the authorities and considering the country’s challenges, ERPSSP is based on two components: (i) Strengthening public financial management and the business climate  (ii) Promoting sustainable electricity supply. The program will also be implemented concurrently with a recently approved IMF 3-year Extended Credit Facility (ECF) program and a World Bank budget support operation.  The goal of the operation is to support the implementation of the government medium-term development agenda aimed at building a strong foundation for inclusive and self-reliant economic growth through fiscal consolidation, improved governance, an improved business environment and a sustainable power sector. In this regard, the program aims to: (i) advance fiscal consolidation through enhanced budget credibility, cash management and expenditure efficiency, strengthened debt management, and higher revenue collection  (ii) improved business environment by streamlining investment approval processes and increasing investment promotion capacity  and (iii) ensure sustainable electricity supply through enhanced sustainability of public sector power consumption, a strategic and coherent energy sector policy framework and a sustainable and efficient public electricity utility.  ERPSSP will benefit the entire Sao Tome and Principe population. The direct beneficiaries of the program include Ministry of Planning, Finance and Blue Economy (MPFEA), Central Bank of Sao Tome and Principe (BCSTP), National Investment Promotion Agency (APCI) and Water and Electricity Company (EMAE). Indirect beneficiaries are the citizens of the Sao Tome and Principe, who will benefit from better PFM and improved fiscal space for pro-poor budgetary allocation for social services delivery, as well as from increased economic opportunity brought about by a macroeconomic stability and an improved business climate. In addition, the private sector in Sao Tome and Principe will also benefit from macroeconomic stability, an improved business climate and enhanced capacity for investment promotion. Finally, both the citizens of Sao Tome and Principe and the private sector will benefit from a more sustainable, reliable and efficient electricity supply.

Sao Tome and Principe - The Energy Transition and Institutional Support Programme (ETISP). The Energy Transition and Institutional Support Programme (ETISP) is designed to promote green growth, sustainable development of the power system and strengthening public financial management. It will mainly finance urgent work to reinforce and maintain the network of existing thermal power plants, the rehabilitation of the Papagaio hydroelectric power plant (1 MW) and the hybridisation of one of the main thermal power plants (Santo Amaro) with solar photovoltaic technology. The programme will also support the implementation of an energy efficiency (EE) programme, improve airport facilities to increase exports, improve key IT systems for public financial management and strengthen institutional capacity in environmental and social management and gender equality. The proposed interventions will have a direct impact on the beneficiaries of the programme, including improved access to electricity, improved reliability of electricity supply, increased export capacity, reduced GHG emissions and institutional capacity development. The Programme is designed around three components aimed at: i) initiating the energy transition toward renewable energy  ii) providing institutional support while strengthening financial governance and the business climate  and iii) supporting the GoSTP in implementing the ETISP and building institutional capacity. The Programme will be implemented starting in 2020, in both São Tomé and Príncipe islands. A period of four years is estimated for the Programme implementation, entailing a total Programme cost of UA 10.44 million.  The objective of the programme is to support the GoSTP in promoting green growth and the sustainable development of STP’s power system, as well as in strengthening public financial management and the business climate.  The direct beneficiaries of the programme are the population of both the Island of São Tomé and the Island of Príncipe, including business and industries. Public entities such as EMEA and the airport of Sao Tome will have their ability to service the population enhanced, whilst the Ministry of Public Works, Infrastructure, Natural Resources, and Environment (MOPIRNA), the Ministry of Planning, Finance and Blue Economy (MPFEA), the São Tomé Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (APCI) and AFAP will also gain capacity.

Sao Tome and Principe - Zuntamon Lusophone Compact Initiative - Phase I. The Zuntámon Lusophone Compact Initiative – Phase I Project aligns with São Tomé and Príncipe’s Vision 2030, which aims to promote national cohesion, macroeconomic stability, climate change resilience as well as improved governance for private sector-driven inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The Project will focus its interventions on commodities and services where women and youth are economically active, such as tourism, and that have growth potential through export, namely: cocoa, coconut, horticulture products, and fish. The focus on the aforementioned commodities and services is in line with the Government of STP’s COVID-19 post-pandemic economic recovery strategies, which place great emphasis on supporting affected businesses and bolstering the recovery in key industries such as agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and hospitality. The Zuntámon Initiative is therefore a solution that seeks to unblock certain countryspecific bottlenecks to private sector-led growth, while contributing towards a more resilient economy. The Project estimated at UA 7.50 million and fully funded by the ADF will focus on both islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. It will be implemented over a four-year period.  The goal of this Project is to improve the business environment, capacity, and access to markets and finance for SMEs, and therefore their contribution to the economy and job creation. The specific objectives are to: (i) Enhance institutional and administrative capacity to be more effective in meeting the needs of STP’s private sector and attract foreign investments  (ii) Establish the governance and operational structures for improving STP’s business environment  (iii) Build the capacity of SMEs in growing their businesses and their readiness for financing, including women and youth-led SMEs  (iv) Unlock key value chain efficiency and quality constraints  and (v) Establish the structures and financing to provide quality and affordable access to finance for SMEs.  The expected final beneficiaries are 60 SMEs, especially women and youthled businesses (30% of target, respectively). Additionally, the project will have an impact on STP’s entrepreneurship ecosystem by building the capacity of the three (3) leading business associations supporting key segments of STP’s private sector population, women and youth. Enhancing the efficiency of the commercial justice system paired with the introduction of a FFM to the STP market, the financial sector will also be strengthened, including the type of innovative financial instruments to help SMEs access affordable financing. Other beneficiaries include APCI, BCSTP, financial institutions and select business development service providers, who will benefit from capacity building to better carry out their core business of supporting the private sector, especially SMEs.

Co-financing with ALSF of negociation of Oil Exploration Contracts. The present project is part of the Negotiations capacity building support and training program in Sao Tome & Principe. It's designed to strengthen the capacities of countries to negotiate contracts and royalties. An important aspect of this intervention is advocacy to increase awareness and promote governance through role clarity, separation of powers and a clear strategic direction for conducting the negotiations. The desired outcomes are a clear mandate, an empowered team of negotiators, clear lines of authority and policy, legal and institutional parameters to stabilize the environment for negotiating and implementing agreements. In addition, training course is planned and involves three main modules that can be administered individually to bridge specific capacity gaps in line with identifiable skills needs.

Sao Tome & Principe - Infrastructure Rehabilitation for Food Security Support Project (PRIASA). The Infrastructure Rehabilitation for Food Security Support Project (PRIASA), which is scheduled to last four years and cost UA 5.26 million, covers the two islands of Sao Tome and Principe. PRIASA draws on the priorities of the NPRS and the interim CSP, by targeting specifically food security through infrastructure development. By rehabilitating or setting up a number of key infrastructure using the participatory approach, and building the capacity of stakeholders, the project will not only boost food production but also contribute to improving the living conditions of the population, especially in terms of opening up isolated areas, nutrition, human health and social organisation. The main expected outcomes are: (i) upgrading the main artisanal fisheries landing sites (Sao Paolo, Neves, Sto Antonio de Principe, Santana)  (ii) rehabilitation, equipping and training of staff of the fishery product quality control laboratory  (iii) upgrading the Sao Tome fish market to required standards  (iv) rehabilitation works on 27 km of feeder roads  (v) rehabilitation and extension of 10 irrigation systems  (vi) construction of 6 stores, 12 nursery sheds and 11 solar dryers, (vii) establishment of six agricultural processing units  (viii) rehabilitation, equipment and training support for the Agricultural Technology Training Centre (CATAP) and the Agricultural Research and Technology Centre (CIAT)  (ix) awareness raising and support in the structuring and formation of associations and EIGs  and (x) establishment of a fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance system.  The project sector goal consists in improving food security in STP and to poverty reduction. The project objective is to improve the availability of agricultural and fishery products, through the rehabilitation of agricultural, rural and artisanal fishery infrastructure.  Overall, more than 13,000 people, more than half of whom are women, will benefit directly from the project outcomes. By the end of the project, an additional production of 4,000 tonnes of fish and 3,400 tonnes of food and horticultural products is expected.

ETUDE PROJET ELEVAGE. L'ojectif de l'étude est de formuler des projets spécifiques et préparer un projet prioritaire après avoir identifié les orientations et stratégies à même de permettre le développement durable de l'élevage à STP.

Sao Tome and Principe - Livestock Development Support Project. The Livestock Development Support Project (PADE) in Sao Tome and Principe will contribute to improving the livestock health environment in order to achieve a significant reduction in animal mortality, an improvement in livestock productivity levels by at least raising the technical level of smallholder farmers and improving their production conditions. The main expected outputs of the project are (i) the creation of an epidemiological surveillance unit for programmes to control the main epizootics, (ii) the training of managers, technicians and field workers to organize and operate an extension/training and research and development unit, (iii) the promotion of livestock activities including financial support to livestock farmers in the family sector, the rationalisation of the use of agricultural by-products, the import of pig, sheep and goat breeding stock, the rehabilitation and construction of slaughter and meat marketing facilities, and (iv) the rehabilitation and equipment of the Livestock Directorate, the decentralisation of its services and the strengthening of the veterinary laboratory and health inspection services.  The sectoral objective of the project is to satisfy national demand for animal products in order to improve the quality and quantity of food security for the population. More specifically, it aims to improve the productivity of pig, goat, sheep and poultry farms.  The project will directly benefit rural populations in general and smallholders in particular.

Sao Tome & Principe - Livestock Development Support Project - Phase II (LDSP II). The Livestock Development Support Project, Phase II (LDSP II) falls under the strategic policy orientations of the agricultural sector in general and the animal husbandry sub-sector in particular. It falls within the context of the implementation of the PRSP which has identified agriculture, in the broad sense, as a key component for economic growth and production diversification. LDSP II stems from pillars of the PRSP relating to “encouragement of diversification of production, support to farmers in extension and input procurement and capacity building”. It aims at pursuing the actions initiated during the first phase. LDSP II will consolidate the achievements, notably in capacity building, livestock productivity and organization of actors in the sub-sector to enable them participate more actively in decisions designed to improve their living conditions. This second phase is also designed to cover all the actors in the sub-sector and relevant measures that will strengthen the contribution of the sub-sector to the national economy. It is for this reason that it received the full support of the communities and the authorities. LDSP II aims to organize the livestock productive base through the organization of operators. The project hinges on three components, namely: (i) capacity building  (ii) improvement of livestock productivity and processing and marketing of livestock products, and (iii) project management. The total project cost is UA 4.45 million, equivalent to US$ 6.38 million excluding taxes and customs duties. Its execution is planned for a 5 years period.  At the sectoral level, the project aims to strengthen food security in Sao Tome and Principle. The specific objective is to improve the productivity of stockbreeding.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are mainly the stockbreeders and the various operators in the livestock sub-sector, notably short-cycle livestock breeding (goats, pigs and poultry). Out of about 20,000 farmers estimated in 2002, there are about 12,000 breeders 50% of whom are women (10,900 in Sao Tome and 1,100 in Principe). The project will undertake activities in at least 75% of the 160 village communities and essentially aim at family farms. About 4,000 stockbreeders will benefit directly from the activities of the Project.

Sao Tome and Principe - Sao Tome International Airport Improvement Project. The Sao Tome international airport improvement project frons part oif the social and econonic recovery efforts initiated by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe. The airport is essential to the economic and social development of the country whose insular character makes it all the more necessary to have reliable and regular air links. The lack of an airport that responds to the needs of the country would certainly discourage foreign investors who are undoubtedly needed by the economy for its revival  the country’s commercial activity and consequently its balance of trade would surely suffer as a result. Implementation of the project will make it possible to handle aircraft and passenger traffic under normal conditions, in conformity with approved safety standards. The new installations will cut down delays in the completion of arrival and departure formalities and the delivery of luggage, thereby resulting in substantial time savings for passengers and in greater comfort. This point is particularly important for international tourism, which demands a minimum level of airport services. This level of service will also enhance transit traffic.  The project aims to improve communications between the country, the sub-region and the rest of the world, provide passenger-handling facilities and equip the airport with aeronautical equipment of international, standard.  The Sao Tomé airport improvement project clearly offers direct benefits for the country's economy  these benefits will result from increase in airport revenue following increases in traffic and airport charges justified by improvement in the equipment. The project will improve on the safety of air transport in the sub-region in general by providing better navigation and telecommunications facilities and by making Sao Tone an additional back-up airport for Libreville, Brazzaville and Douala. The development of tourism will also result in the creation of new jobs, both directly (hotels) and indirectly (cottage industries and recreation).

ENTRETIEN ROUTIER. L'objectif essentiel assigné au projet est d'améliorer les conditions de transport sur le réseau routier prioritaire afin de lui permettre de jouer pleinement son rôle de soutien direct à l'activité de production en général et principalement du cacao. A cet effet, le projet vise à réduire, dans des limites acceptables, le coût des transports, améliorer et garantir la qualité des liaisons routières entre les zones d'implantation des grandes entreprises agricoles et la capitale de Sao Tomé   et doter le pays d'une structure apte à assurer une bonne gestion du réseau routier.

Sao Tome and Principe - Second road maintenance project. The second road maintenance project (PER2) was recommended by the study of the Road Plan (RP) carried out under the first road maintenance project (PER1) with ADF funding. The roads included in the project are extensions of the country’s most important roads, namely National Road 1 in the North-East and National Road 2, in the South-East. These extensions are situated in the districts of Caue and Lemba, which therefore constitute the project’s direct service area. The letter covers an area of about 500 km, i.e. 58% of that of the island of Sao Tome. Considering the smallness of the island, the project’s enlarged service area extends to all the island of Sao Tome (859 km2). The expected results are (i) the improvement of the state of the RN over 18 km between Neves and Santa Catarina and the RN2 over 4 km between Angolares and Ribeira Peixe by renewing the wearing course, (ii) the rehabilitated RN2 over 15 km between Ribeira Peixe and Porto Alegre and (iii) 29 rehabilitated structures on the RN1 and RN2. Socially, the project will contribute to the fight against rural exodus, to a better use of the existing infrastructure along the project roads and in Sao Tome and in improving the income of the rural populations of the districts of Caue and Lemba.  The project aims to reduce transport costs on the Ribeira Peixe - Porto Alegre road link (RN2) and improve the level of service on the Neves-Santa Catarina road link (RN1). At sectoral level, the project aims to improve the level of service on the priority network, which contributes to opening up the country's interior, particularly the Caue and Lemba districts, in order to support agricultural activity.  The project will directly benefit economic operators and individual road users, road construction companies, and is expected to have a positive impact on the populations of localities along National Roads 1 and 2.

Sao Tomé - Study of the master plan for drinking water supply and sanitation systems. Les études proposées ont pour but l'élaboration d'un plan directeur qui permettra, au Gouvernement, de définir un programme de réhabilitation des systèmes d'AEPA existants en vue de satisfaire les besoins immédiats et d'examiner en détail les besoins d'extension aux horizons 2000 à 2010.

Sao Tome and Principe - Programme for drinking water supply, sanitation and control of water borne diseases. The Programme for Drinking Water Supply, Sanitation and Control of Waterborne Diseases (DWSS/WBDC) stems from the DWSS MP study, carried out to the satisfaction of all the partners, the lessons drawn from previous experiences in the control of malaria and diarrhoeal diseases in Sao Tome, and new approaches to those issues recommended by WHO and the International Community.  It constitutes one of the Government’s priority objectives, and is in keeping with those defined in the Bank’s CSP for the country.  Its implementation will lead to a sustainable improvement in the living environment and health conditions of the beneficiaries, and will also have a positive impact on the economy. The main components of the programme are: (i) Rehabilitation and Extension of the DWSS Systems  (ii) Water-Borne Disease Control  (iii) Programme Management and Monitoring.  The specific objective of the programme is to reduce the prevalence of the main water-borne diseases through the implementation of functional DWSS systems and enhancement of the treatment and prevention of these diseases.  The most underprivileged segments of the population, and those most at risk, are the main beneficiaries. The programme will help consolidate the maternal and infant health situation. Staff of the Ministry of Health, trained and equipped with effective working tools, will be better motivated to collect data and meet expectations of the populations.

Sao Tome and Principe - Study for the Preparation of the National Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme by 2030. The present study project constitutes the preparatory phase of implementation of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiatives (RWSSI) in Sao Tome and Principe. This programme is fully consistent with the African Development Bank’s medium-term intervention strategy. It aims to support the water and sanitation sector in order to ultimately achieve poverty reduction objectives by rolling back waterborne diseases, cutting health care spending and promoting income-generating activities for vulnerable populations. The Study is planned to be conducted over a 24-month period and lead to the development of a National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme by 2030. The programme will help to establish an improved framework for efficient coordination of the water and sanitation sector, and the planning and management of increased investments in the sector. The capacity of sector stakeholders will be built (State, local governments and users). It is also expected that implementing the programme ultimately improve the rural drinking water and sanitation access rate.  The sector goal of the Study is to enable, through the National Programme, the implementation of the Government's vision of ensuring access to drinking water and sanitation services for all rural inhabitants by 2030. The Study’s specific objectives are to: (i) provide the country with an inventory document that will serve as a reference for a dynamic Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation (DWSS) infrastructure database  (ii) develop a National Rural DWSS Programme (NRDWSS) allowing for implementation of the Government's vision in the sector  and (iii) sensitize all the sector’s development partners to enable the actual financing of actions set out in the NRDWSS.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the Government of Sao Tome and Principe. The indirect beneficiary is the population.

Sao Tome and Principe - Project for the rehabilitation, reinforcement and expansion of transport networks and electricity distribution in Sao Tome (Electricity I). The project for the rehabilitation, reinforcement and expansion of transport networks and electricity distribution in Sao Tome, referred to as "Electricity 1", is a facet of the Emergency Programme for the reinforcement of the electricity infrastructures (PURIE) of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe and the plan for the technical, financial and commercial restructuring of EMAE. PURIE was defined on the basis of the study of the master plan of Sao Tome’s electricity network funded by the European Investment Bank. The project requires the implementation of construction, assembly and connection works, and the provision of services for (i) engineering, control and supervision of the works, (ii) technical assistance to the company's accounting and electricity distribution departments. The expected results are 5 30/6 kV substations reinforced or built, 13 new MV/LV transformer substations and 60 others rehabilitated and/or reinforced, 15 km of MV lines and 80 km of LV lines installed and 4,110 LV subscriber connections. At the institutional level, it is expected that cost accounting will be implemented and general accounting will be strengthened, as well as maintenance procedures and operational safety instructions will be developed.  The Electricity I project aims to meet the electricity needs of the Sao Tome region at the sectoral level and, more specifically, to rehabilitate, strengthen and extend the electricity transmission and distribution networks with a view to improving the quantity and quality of electricity supply on the one hand and to improving the technical, financial and administrative performance of the EMAE on the other hand.  The project will directly benefit economic operators and individual users and would have a positive impact on the populations of the Sao Tome region by improving daily living conditions.

South Africa - Social Franchising for Operations and Maintenance of School Sanitation Facilities and Demonstration of on-site Faecal Sludge Treatment. The rationale of the Social Franchising for Operations and Maintenance of School Sanitation Facilities and the Demonstration of on-site Faecal Sludge Treatment in East London project is the need to dramatically improve the usability of existing school sanitation facilities through franchised operation and maintenance services and safe handling of faecal sludge for non-sewered urban and peri-urban areas of East London District. This project aimed to facilitate better learning and improve environmental sanitation.  It will be implemented in the Eastern Cape Province, one of South Africa’s poorest provinces, which suffers from a huge sanitation backlog, with high proportions (50%) of the population using ordinary pit latrines. It targets the Educational District of East London, one of 23 Educational Districts (predominantly peri-urban) within the Eastern Cape, with over 5,626 schools and 1.9 million enrolled children. The project will be conducted over a period of 30 months and is aimed to spend a total of € 2 424 216 for the purpose of executing the components under this project. It will be implemented through four key components: 1) Improved school sanitation facilities and practices for boys and girls  2) Development and application of social franchise model  3) Demonstration of PPP for faecal sludge management, and safe reuse  and 4) Project management and knowledge management.  The project targets 300 co-education schools in the peri-urban areas of the Municipal Districts of Buffalo City (266 schools) and Amathole (34 schools). The maintenance of sanitation facilities carried out by the franchisees in schools will benefit the pupils, this is estimated to be in the region of 100 000 learners. The project will further directly benefit the 5 (3 women, 2 men) franchisees successfully trained by Amanz’ abantu who will establish and run their own small business. It is expected that at least 50 trained youth will gain employment working as a support team to the franchisees.

South Africa - Eskom Renewable Energy Project. The Eskom Renewable Energy Project was conceived as part of a research program aimed at studying South Africa's renewable energy resources and identifying appropriate alternative solutions to meet the renewable energy needs of the country. The program was launched because of the growing demand for electricity in South Africa and the need to diversify the energy mix of Eskom. The project is expected to promote knowledge of wind and solar technologies in South Africa and provide an opportunity to identify implementation, implementation and operational management issues related to these technologies. It has two main sub-projects or components: the Sere Wind Power Project and the Upington Solar Concentration Project. The expected results of implementation of the present will be measured using the following indicators: (i) increase in the supply of renewable energy  (ii) direct greenhouse gas emissions avoided  (iii) number of jobs created  and (iv) investments in renewable energy projects through funding from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF).  The project's development objective is to facilitate the accelerated development of large-scale renewable energy generation capacity in support of South Africa's long-term strategy for carbon reduction.  The direct beneficiaries of the subprojects will be the populations and enterprises established in the said provinces and communes, and the local tourist economy which will be strongly stimulated. It should be noted that the energy produced will supply the national electricity grid and benefit the entire country through the provision of clean and reliable energy.

South Africa - Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP), Phase II. The proposed project fits with the objective to deepen regional integration and promote industrialization in South Africa. It also realizes the GoKL’s aspiration to boost benefits from its natural resources and develop its infrastructure to create the necessary enabling conditions for private sector development. Both South Africa and Lesotho are inextricably linked socially and economically, and the project is further cementing their relationship for mutual development. The Project is one of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) priority water infrastructure projects for promoting regional integration. The Project is estimated to cost ZAR 32.562 billion (UA 1.576 billion), net of taxes and duties. The AfDB loan of ZAR 1.3 billion and NDB loan of ZAR 3.2 billion will finance, on pari-pasu basis, part of component B – Main works covering Polihali Dam and Polihali Transfer Tunnel works. The Project will provide secure and sustainable water sources to the population living in the Gauteng Region covering five provinces (Guateng, Freestate, Mpumalanga, North West and Northern Cape Provinces) of South Africa with a combined population of 26 million and 60% of South Africa’s economy. The water delivered and transferred to the Vaal River System will ensure water availability for domestic consumption, irrigation, industries and mining. On the Lesotho side, more than 85,000 people will benefit upon completion of the project, which is bound to impact positively on community development activities, private sector growth through improved infrastructure and contribute to Lesotho’s socio-economic development.  The development objectives of the project are to ensure water security of the Gauteng Region of South Africa and improve the socio-economic development of Lesotho through improved infrastructure and potential for hydropower generation. The Project will specifically aim to increase the transfer of water from Lesotho to the Republic of South Africa from the current 780 million m3/year to 1260 million m3/year and to provide opportunity to generate additional hydroelectric power in Lesotho.  The water to be delivered from the project’s water delivery system will augment availability of water in the greater Gauteng region covering five provinces of South Africa with a combined population of 26 million and 60% of the economy. The water delivered and transferred to the Vaal River System will ensure water availability for domestic consumption, irrigation, industries and mining with Rand Water, Midvaal Water, Sedibeng water, ESKOM and SASOL as typical customers. Rand water supplies water to nearly 12 million people that includes greater Johannesburg, Tshwane Metro, Ekurhuleni Metro, Emfuleni Metro and others with an average daily consumption of 4,460 million litres. The cumulative socio economic impact in South Africa includes the security of 120,000 job opportunities and more than 420,000 jobs associated indirectly during the operation phase of the project. The project infrastructure catchment area in Lesotho has an estimated population of 85,000 (2021) who will benefit upon completion of the project’s infrastructure and community development activities directly. It is expected that about 52% of the beneficiaries will be female. The project will create more than 6,000 temporary jobs during the construction phase and this will indirectly benefit businesses and other service providers in Lesotho. Through reinvestment of the royalty income and operation of the infrastructure, more than 5,500 new jobs (58% skilled and semi-skilled) will be directly and indirectly created in the economy.

South Africa - Eskom Transmission Improvement Project - Loan. The Transmission Improvement Project in South Africa follows a request for funding received from Eskom in 2015 to the tune of ZAR 15 billion to finance its capital expansion programme. In response, in December 2015, the Bank approved a USD 375 million under the non-sovereign window. The project will construct 436km of 400Kv and 116km of 132Kv transmission lines and upgrade substation equipment at four substations which will provide additional evacuation paths for electricity from Kusile, Majuba, Drakensburg and Ingula power stations. The intervention will therefore not only part finance the critical transmission programme but also provide an opportunity for the Bank to continue engagements with Eskom, the Government and the regulator on improvements to the corporate governance environment, the continued roll out of the renewable energy independent power producer procurement programme and a sustainable electricity tariff path for the sector. Its implementation will thus contribute to the Eskom electricity connection target of one million customers by March 2021 and increased power exports into the region.  The project comprises the construction of transmission lines and the rehabilitation of substations in Mpumalanga and Kwazulu-Natal (KZN) provinces. The lines are required to (i) provide additional power evacuation paths for new generation capacity, (ii) ensure the availability of capacity for future load growth, (iii) reduction of network losses  and (iv) safety during network operations to ensure compliance to the Grid Code. The outcome is increased availability of electricity supply and improved efficiency of the power transmission system through a reduction in the level of technical losses.  The project output will thus benefit all electricity customers connected to the grid in South Africa and the region but will mainly benefit the Cape and Kwazulu-Natal regions, as the project creates additional power evacuation paths for power generated in Mpumalanga and Drakensburg areas, respectively. As of 2015, the Cape and KZN provinces accounted for 46 percent of the South African population at just over 24.7 million (51 percent female and 49 percent male).

São Tomé & Príncipe - Poverty Reduction Project (PRP). The poverty reduction project was prepared in response to the serious economic difficulties encountered by the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe during the first decade following its accession to international sovereignty. Indeed, the rapid transition from a communist system to a market economy was accompanied by State disengagement, especially from the “roças” (state-owned plantations) which created considerable political and social tension. Thus, since 1987, the Government has implemented a vast economic recovery programme with the support of the international community (especially the World Bank in 1992, the European Union and ADF in 1995). This project was in keeping with the programme. The project was designed as a social safety net to promote the development of income-generating activities, job creation and the consumption of social goods in order to improve the living conditions in the insanitary districts. This explained the high proportion of project resources earmarked for social infrastructure. The project also responded to the need to improve the living standards of the population, particularly the poor, through support to income-generating activities. It mainly concerns: (i) poverty monitoring and analysis  (ii) establishment of a micro and small enterprise development fund  (iii) establishment of a fund to support infrastructure of collective interest  (iv) establishment of an implementation unit (with the Ministry of Planning and Finance), equipped with human and material resources to coordinate project activities.  At the sectoral level, improving the living environment and reducing poverty. At the specific level, increasing the incomes of vulnerable groups by providing them with financial resources in the form of micro-credit and promoting employment through labour-intensive work.  The primary beneficiaries are the poor vulnerable groups in the urban or peri-urban areas who are engaged in the agriculture enterprises. Most are landless and female headed households account for 20% of the labor force.

São Tomé-and-Príncipe - Multi-Country Covid-19 Response Support Program (MCRSP). The proposed intervention focuses on the Sao Tome and Principe component of the Multi-country COVID19 Response Support Program (MCRSP) in Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe (MMMS countries). This is an African Development Fund (ADF) and Transition Support Facility grants and a loan totaling UA 100.4 million for all four (4) countries. The MMMS countries have been combined into one group to ensure efficiency in the processing of the CRBS support under the Southern Africa Regional Development and Business Delivery Office (RDGS), in order to fast track the Bank’s assistance to RMCs. They have similar characteristics and needs in dealing with the pandemic, adopting a common approach and response across the four countries. Except for STP (that falls within RDGS), their plans align with the SADC strategic priorities for the health sector. As at 6 July 2020, there were 720 confirmed cases in Sao Tome and Principe, with 13 deaths and 268 patients having recovered. Despite the government’s swift containment measures, lack of testing capacity has hampered efforts to control the pandemic. Government declared a state of emergency and imposed social distancing measures on 17 March as a precaution before any confirmed cases. A lack of testing capacity – having to send samples abroad for testing – caused significant delays in identifying and controlling cases. The proposed operation is designed as Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) and will be implemented over one year from July 2020. The program consists of three broad mutually reinforcing components (i) Protecting labour force productivity by strengthening diagnosis capacity and public health response to COVID-19  (ii) Safeguarding incomes and livelihoods through enhanced social protection systems  (iii) Strengthening economic resilience and protecting jobs against COVID-19 Shocks.  The programme’s overarching goal is to contribute to mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic through three operational objectives: (i) mitigate the health impact  (ii) dampen the impact on the livelihoods and (iii) increase private-sector resilience.  The programme will benefit the entire population of Sao Tome and Principe through the containment of the pandemic and a swifter, more inclusive and sustainable post-pandemic economic recovery. The expanded social protection coverage supported by the programme will directly benefit some of the most affected and more vulnerable populations including: (i) at least 2,376 additional Programa Familia beneficiaries  and (ii) at least 5,000 furloughed, unemployed and self-employed affected workers in the formal and informal sectors.

São Tomé-and-Príncipe - ISP for Customs Administration and Public Expenditure Management (ISP-CAPEM). The operation is an Institutional Support Project for Customs Administration and Public Expenditure Management (ISP-CAPEM) from the Bank in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Principe (STP). It is designed to leverage the Bank’s comparative advantage in supporting economic governance reforms as well as synergies with its other instruments and areas of intervention. As an African institution with a longstanding history of providing advice the Bank is well placed to support the Government’s program of economic governance reforms. Moreover, the Bank will leverage its extensive experience supporting the implementation of economic governance reforms across Africa and in STP, where the Bank has been supporting implementation of various projects including the Institutional Support Project for Economic and Financial Management (Programa de Apoio à Gestão Económica e Financeira, PAGEF) (2013-2020) and the COVID-19 budget support operation in 2020. The project comprises three main components: (a) customs administration modernization and sustainable public debt management  (b) strengthening public expenditure management  and (c) Project management. The project is designed in parallel to help achieve the objectives of the new National Development Plan (NDP).  The overarching development objective of the project is to improve revenue collection and strengthen capacity in public expenditure management through modernized customs administration, efficient borrowing framework, robust financial management information systems, transparent public procurement, and oversight. This will be done through (a) customs administration modernization and sustainable public debt management aimed at increasing collection of trade revenue, improving efficiency and effectiveness in controlling legitimate trade operation, and sustainable borrowing   and (b) strengthening public expenditure management and oversight through development of an integrated financial management information system, enhancing transparency and accountability in the use of public resources, and combatting illicit financial flows.  The project has direct and indirect beneficiaries. The direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Planning, Finance, and Blue Economy (MPFEA), procurement authority, the Court of Auditors (Tribunal de Contas), and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). The private sector will benefit from a streamlined administrative system regarding procedures, including for businesses and investment, improved tax structure for investment, and a more efficient, transparent, and equitable public procurement system. The project will indirectly benefit all citizens of STP, as a strengthened public financial management system and better internal and external controls will lead to improved public expenditure quality and better public services, allowing increased customs revenue and additional fiscal space for essential public services.

São Tomé and Principe - Fiscal Sustainability and Economic Resilience Program (FSERP). The Fiscal Sustainability and Economic Resilience Program (FSERP) is designed as a programmatic series of two consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations.  This support will enable the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe to strengthen fiscal sustainability and economic resilience by improving Public Financial Management (PFM) systems and efficiency in the energy sector. The programme will support the Government in its efforts to implement reforms to accelerate economic growth by creating a more conducive environment for the private sector, enhancing transparency and accountability, and boosting governance in the energy sector while building climate resilience. The set of reforms under the proposed program is organized around two mutually reinforcing and complementary components. Component 1, Improving fiscal transparency and sustainability, will support enhancing domestic revenue, improving public expenditure efficiency, and enhancing debt transparency and sustainability. Component 2, Improving energy sector governance and transition to renewable energy, will support reforms in the energy sector and help in transitioning to green energy.  The objective of the program is to improve fiscal sustainability and energy sector governance through strengthened energy sector reforms of Public Financial Management (PFM) systems.  The direct beneficiaries of the program are the Ministry of Planning, Finance and the Blue Economy (MPFEA), through the provision of resources to the Treasury for the execution of the national budget. The resources will be used to reduce the budget deficit and increase foreign exchange reserves. Increased foreign exchange reserves are essential for importing essential goods and improving the performance of the energy sector. The program will indirectly benefit all STP citizens, insofar as a more favorable business environment will translate into growth and job creation  improved fiscal transparency will enable the provision of more and better public services. In addition, strengthening energy and climate resilience will create more job opportunities and make housing safer.

Poverty Reduction Support Loan. The Poverty Reduction Support Loan (PRSL I) Project, worth UA 34.58 million, is the Bank’s first direct budget support loan to the Government of Ghana. Preceding the approval of this first Poverty Reduction Strategy Loan (PRSL I) in November 2003, the Bank Group supported the implementation of macroeconomic and structural reforms in Ghana with four successive policy-based operations. The decision to provide direct budget support was taken in response to a request from the GoG and after extensive discussion with a number of Ghana’s Development Partners (DP). PRSL was formulated and negotiated under the Multi-donor budget support (MDBS) Framework Memorandum, which nine participating DPs (namely, ADB, Canada, Denmark, European Union, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the World Bank) and GoG signed in March 2003. Drawing on lessons from previous policy-based operations, the objectives of MDBS are to harmonize DPs’ policies and procedures in order to minimize transaction costs for the GoG. This includes agreeing to common benchmarks against which performance is assessed  improving dialogue between DPs and the GoG  and basing funding commitments and disbursements on the achievement of agreed targets. This form of direct budget support represents a shift from a sectoral, project-driven approach to development assistance and from balance of payment support operations like Economic Reforms Support Operation (ERSO I) and ERSO II.  The Poverty Reduction Support Loan Project (PRSL I) aims to assist the Ghanaian government in implementing its GPRS.  The main beneficiary of the loan project is the Ghanaian government.

Ghana - Second Poverty Reduction Support Loan (PRSL II). The Second Poverty Reduction Loam (PRSL-III) will focus on three broad components of the poverty reduction agenda:  (i) promotion of growth, income and employment  (ii) improvements in the delivery of services for human development  and (iii) strengthening of good governance, human resource development and public sector management. PRSL-II  will also pay  particular  attention  to  policy  dialogue,  enhance  the efficiency  and  transparency  of  public  spending,  and  build the capacity to monitor and evaluate resource allocation and policy outcomes. It  will  help  increase  access, completion and quality of education and health care  services  to  the  deprived  areas,  and notably to the poor. It will also support the development of a comprehensive social protection strategy, as well as interventions to help contain the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Ghana - Poverty Reduction and Business Environment Support Programme (PRBESP). The key policy objectives of the program are: to support the implementation of GoG's development plan (GSGDA) and its private sector development strategy (PSDS II) by providing budgetary support to the implementation of PFM and business environment reforms in order to improve efficiency in the use of public resources, maintain macroeconomic stability, enhance fiscal position of the government through improved public expenditure, and revenue collection.

Private Sector Adjustment Loan. A.  Issues 1.1   The emphasis on construction works and related activities at the exclusion of other project components aimed at strengthening management and maintenance capabilities has resulted in unsatisfactory project performance. 2.  The inability of the government to provide counterpart funding has caused delays in the implementation of civil works and has impeded the implementation of other project components . 3.  Delay in the payment of Disbursement Requests after having received ADF approval. B.  Actions Taken/Results 1.1 The revised Ministry of Health proposal outlining the activities for the implementation of non-civil works components was reviewed during the mission at meetings held with the MOH and the PIU. 2.1 The Government has recently provided approximately 1.4 billion Cedis for counterpart funding which has allowed the continued implementation of non-civil works activities. C.  Proposed Actions 1.1   The Ministry of Health was requested to submit information clarifying the external training proposal confirming the acceptance of candidates by the training institutions to the Bank by 1 June 1999. 2.1   The Bank should continue to monitor the level and frequency of the receipt of counterpart funding to avoid further implementation delays. 3.1 ADF should expedite the processing of Disbursement Requests to avoid causing operational delays in the implementation of the project. 3.2 The Bank should explore means of reporting disbursements by project component as well as by category.

The proposed BSL operation will support Government's objectives of growth, employment and income generation  good governance and civic responsibility as contained in the Government's strategy document, the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II).

Ghana - Institutional Support Project to oversight and Private Sector Development Institutions (GISP). The proposed operation concerns an Institutional Support Project focusing on improving Public Finance anagement (PFM) systems and Business Enabling Environment in Ghana. The Ghana Institutional Support Project to Oversight and Private Sector Development Institutions (GISP) is designed to complement the projects being implemented by the Bank and other donors including the PRBESP. It falls in the broader context of support for Ghana’s growth and poverty reduction efforts, accompanied by improved Public Finance management (PFM) systems and business enabling environment. The project has three components. These are as follows: (i) Strengthening domestic resource mobilization, aid coordination and integrity of public resource management  (ii) enhancing capacity for Private Sector Development and competitiveness  and (iii) Project Management support. The project will be implemented over the period 2012-2015 at an estimated total cost of UA 10.66 million.  The overall objective of the project is to promote private sector led inclusive growth through improved pubic resources management and enhanced competitiveness of the private sector. The specific objective is to strengthen the capacity of resource mobilization, integrity and oversight institutions, as well as private sector development institutions. The project therefore helps to create an enabling environment for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction in Ghana through more credible PFM systems and enhanced capacity for private sector development and competitiveness.  The project will benefit the whole country. The direct project beneficiaries are institutions involved in public financial management and private sector development namely: Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP), Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Internal Audit Agency (IAA), Ghana Audit Services (GAS), Parliamentary Service, Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), Private Enterprise Foundation (PEF) and National Board of Small Scale Industries (NBSSI). Ghanaian businesses, particularly SMEs, as well as the general population, who will benefit from the results of more efficient resource allocation and utilization, are indirect beneficiaries. Female business owners, staff of enterprises and beneficiary institutions have access to greater opportunities.

Ghana - Public Financial Management and Private Sector Competitiveness Support Programme - Phase I. The Public Financial Management and Private Sector Competiveness Support Programme Phase I (PFMPSCSP) responds to the need for Ghana to build a strong foundation for inclusive and self-reliant economic growth. This is the first of two consecutive operations in a programmatic series of General Budget Support (GBS) over the period 2015-2016 for a total indicative financing package of UA 75 million. The proposed operation will build on the achievements of the Bank’s previous Institutional and Budget Support Operations in Ghana in the areas of PFM and business enabling environment (see Annex V). In this context, the Bank has supported GOG’s efforts in reinstating and enforcing budget commitment controls for all the MDAs  establishing the cash management system  consolidating the revenue agencies (VAT, IRS, and Customs) under a single umbrella organization, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA)  improving the audit functions  as well as in developing the financial sector strategic plan II and the Private Sector Development Strategy (PSDS II).  The goal of the proposed operation is to support the implementation of the government medium-term development agenda aimed at building a strong foundation for inclusive and self-reliant economic growth. The operational objective is to strengthen fiscal consolidation and PFM reforms in order to restore macroeconomic stability, and enhance private sector-led competitiveness through improved access to electricity and SMEs’ access to finance.  The PFMPSCSP will benefit MOF and other sector ministries and services in charge of delivering Power and long-term Credit. The direct beneficiaries are Ghana’s key public institutions responsible for PFM and agencies responsible for the delivery of electricity. The people of Ghana will benefit indirectly from fiscal consolidation as the resultant freed fiscal space will be directed to fund pro-poor expenditures and basic social services delivery. The private sector too will benefit from reliable and affordable electricity, improved access to finance, especially by SMEs including women-owned enterprises, as well as from more transparent and efficient PFM system, especially relating to procurement practices.

Ghana - Savannah Zone Agricultural Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP). The Savannah Zone Agricultural Productivity Improvement Project (SAZAPIP) aims at transforming agricultural value chains for food and nutrition security, job and wealth creation in the Northern Savannah Zone of Ghana. This project will increase farmers’ food and nutrition security and incomes through increased agricultural productivity and diversification  and enhance the creation and strengthening of agribusinesses to increase incomes of actors along selected value chains on a sustainable basis. It has been designed within the context of the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda II (GSGDA II). The Savannah Zone holds major agricultural promise that when harnessed will transform the lives of the zone's inhabitants quite significantly, yet the zone constitutes the poorest part of the country with a poverty rate of over 40%, which is about the double of the national average. The zone is characterized with relatively more challenging agro-ecological conditions, low socio-economic indicators and historical deficit in public investments in infrastructure and services. The SAZAPIP will be implemented over a five-year period (2018 – 2023) at a total cost of UA 40.38 million. The project has four components: (i) Crop Productivity Improvement  (ii) Value Chains & Agribusiness Development  (ii) Infrastructure Development  and (iii) Project Coordination, Management, Monitoring and Evaluation.  The development objective of the project is to transform agricultural value chains for food and nutrition security, job and wealth creation. The specific project objectives is to increase farmers’ food and nutrition security and incomes through increased agricultural productivity and diversification  and enhance the creation and strengthening of agribusinesses to increase incomes of actors along selected value chains on a sustainable basis.  The direct beneficiaries are about 50,000 economically active smallholders living in the selected agro-processing zones  and the processing firms that serve as a direct market for the farmers. The indirect beneficiaries include the entire population (consumers) that will benefit from the availability of food and business associations who provide services to the producers and processors. This number is expected to increase significantly when other economically active value chain entrepreneurs get involved in the Project. Among the target group, women and youth play a major role in crop production, processing, small enterprises operation and marketing. About 50% of beneficiaries (women) will be specifically targeted in project activities and shall reap benefits.

The project will enhance access to finance by SMEs and low-income populations and contribute to : (i) helping Angola diversify its economic base among other benefits  (ii) bring unbanked populations into the banking system thus contributing to financial inclusion.  The project main beneficiaries are SMEs and low-income populations, unbanked populations, youngs and women. Moreever, the facility will help low income households access financing and sustain self-employment.

Angola - Science and Technology Development Project. The Science and Technology Development Project (PDST) seeks to support the Government’s efforts to develop science and technology and promote innovation. The project will particularly help to strengthen and improve the framework of scientific and technological research and create a more favourable national framework for the development of science, technology and innovation. The PDST, which will be implemented over a five-year period, covers the entire national territory. Its overall expected outcomes are: (i) constructing and equipping the Mabubas Science and Technology Park  (ii) financing scholarships and research projects  (iii) implementing promotional activities and strengthening women’s participation in scientific, technological and innovative activities  (iv) skills development in secondary education  and (v) intellectual property management support.  The project’s goal is to contribute to economic diversification through scientific and technological innovation. Specifically, this involves: (i) supporting the implementation of scientific and technological research activities in priority areas to diversify the economy (agribusiness, biotechnology and health, energy, information and communication technologies, etc.)  and (ii) creating an environment conducive to the development of science, technology and innovation.  The project will mainly benefit 155 researchers (at least 55% of them women) who will be trained, 40 teams whose research projects will be financed and 125 girls who will be awarded scholarships for secondary education. Young Angolans will take advantage of the workshop and business incubator activities envisaged in the technology park (one enterprise per sector will be incubated year) to conduct tests, develop prototypes and start their businesses. In addition, the project will be beneficial to the private sector as a whole through the support that the science and technology park will provide for their research and development activities. The project will also contribute to skills development by reinforcing the science, technology and industrial innovation teacher-training system through its support to the intellectual property management system.

Angola - Energy sector efficiency and expansion programme (ESEEP) - Phase I. The Energy Sector Efficiency and Expansion Programme Phase 1 (ESEEP I) is designed to strengthen Angola's power transmission and distribution system. It’s structured around three components: (i) Construction of a 343 km long 400kV Central-South transmission line  (ii) Revenue improvement through installation of prepaid meters  and (iii) Program management for project design and implementation. The program will reinforce the operational capacity of the Angolan power distribution utility (ENDE) while increasing the wheeling capacity of the transmission system countrywide. The programme will help to: (i) reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower the costs of electricity generation  and (ii) improve the reliability of national power systems and better cope with peak loads. The existing customer base of 1.374 million customers will benefit from more reliable and efficient service. The southern provinces of the country, most affected by the war, are supplied with electricity by systems operated in isolation and fuelled by expensive diesel fuel when the hydroelectric capacity of the northern power grid is not only in excess, but at low cost. ESEEP I intends to address this anomaly. The country would also have the opportunity to replace existing expensive thermal power plants and thereby reduce the cost of electricity generation.  The purpose of the project is to improve financial sustainability and technical performance of the energy sector, and expand the transmission network infrastructure for increased access to electricity, in strategic provinces and rural areas of Angola.  The project beneficiaries include households, small and medium sized enterprises, artisanal and mining operations, local schools, health centres, and administrations. Over 400,000 new metered connections are envisaged, approximately 100,000 households and 500 SMEs, and private sector are expected to receive new or improved access to electricity services as a result of ESEEP-I.

Angola - Coastal Towns Inclusive Sanitation Project Phase 1. The development objective of the project is to improve access to climate-resilient and sustainable sanitation services in the Coastal Towns of Benguela, Baía Farta, Catumbela and Lobito. The achievement of the project development objective will require strengthening of the capacity of communities and the public and private service providers. It will provide the necessary sanitation infrastructure for ensuring effective treatment of wastewater and faecal sludge, collection and transportation, and improvement at household level. Schools and health facilities in the project area will receive assistance to acquire improved sanitation facilities.  The project area is located within the Benguela province of Angola and covers the coastal towns of Benguela [769,492], Baía Farta [71,122], Catumbela [126,653] and Lobito [476,358] with combined population size of 1.4 million. The proportion of women is estimated at 52.6% and close to 48% of the population is young 0-14 years old. The project interventions will benefit all the residents of the four towns directly and women will be the main beneficiaries due to their role, especially mothers of young children whose productivity is adversely affected when they have to take care of young children who suffer from frequent episodes of diarrhoea as well as the time spent seeking healthcare.

Angola - Agriculture Sector Reform Program (ASRP). This project named Angola Agriculture Sector Reform Program (ASRP) – Sector Budget Support is a single-year self-standing sector budget support operation with one disbursement for the Government fiscal year 2024. It is designed as precursor sector reform and policy-based operation that will enable the Government and the Bank to invest in four planned agriculture interventions under the Dakar II Country Agriculture and Food Compact. The Programme will deepen reforms towards more efficient agricultural markets, while strengthening governance and capacity of agriculture public institutions, encouraging the private sector to participate in agricultural markets and thus contributing to raise cereal and oil seed production in the country. The Program aims to achieve its objective through three (3) components: (i) Enhancing food production, productivity and building resilience of smallholder farmers  (ii) Strengthening of national input supply and delivery system for smallholder farmers, including support to the implementation of the National Seed Policy and regulatory framework, equitable access to input supply and distribution system to address inclusivity and equity in accessing agricultural inputs and farm mechanization services and  (iii) Enhancing agriculture sector capacity for effective management and accountability to foster sustainability for sector growth, including building capacity to undertake agricultural research to enable adoption of climate smart technologies that are aimed at bringing more rural land into production.  The development objective of the Angola Agriculture Sector Reform Program is to strengthen agricultural policy and business environment towards improved food production ultimately contributing to economic diversification.  The Programme’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy and Planning and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. All key players in agriculture industry in Angola including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will benefit from an improved policy framework, improved investment opportunities in agriculture and improved market access. Ultimately, the Programme will indirectly benefit all Angolans as the financing will help to expand the fiscal space for critical development spending and job creation. The Programme will also benefit the smallholder farmers in the four (4) target provinces with agricultural inputs and improved extension services.

Angola - Artisanal Fisheries Development Project. The Artisanal Fisheries Development Project aims to boost fish landing from 7,900 MT to 15,500 MT at the targeted coastal sites. It will also improve the living conditions of around 24,000 fishers folk, acquire services for fishing communities and develop regional fish trade and enhance better quality products. The proposed project is a high priority in the poverty reduction strategy of the Government. It is in line with the National Fisheries Master Plan and is consistent with the Bank’s vision as well as the interim CSP for Angola. The project will develop ten coastal fishing sites in remote areas by promoting artisanal fisheries activities. To enhance fish marketing, it will rehabilitate fish sale points at three major towns, namely Namibe, Luanda and Cabinda. The project will support fisheries institutions and train beneficiaries. The project has four main components, namely: A) infrastructure development, B) capacity building, C) rural credit and D) project management.  The sector goal is to reduce poverty and achieve food security among fishing communities. The project specific objective is to expand the fishing activities and improve fishers’ incomes and their standard of living through the development of 10 coastal artisanal fisheries centres through provision of basic support services that will boost their production and marketing capacity.  The project beneficiaries include the poor fisher folks (fishermen and women involved in fish production), processing and trading in and around the 10 coastal fisheries centers and the environs. The total number of the fishing population of these sites is around 24,000 out of whom about 15,840 are women. Indirect beneficiaries to the project are children who assist women in offloading fish from boats and in marketing of fish. It is estimated that eight household members depend on one fisherman.

Angola - Artisanal Fisheries Project. To increase fish production and improve product quality  to strengthen the administrative capacity of the Ministry  of Fisheries  to contribute towards improving the balance of payment.

Angola - Fisheries Sector Support Project. The Fisheries Sector Support Project will increase incomes of small scale fishers and traders (mostly women) through marked improvements in the fish landing and handling facilities thereby reducing post-harvest losses and improving quantity and quality of fish landed and traded. It will be implemented in coastal communities of Gilco, Yembe, Egipto Praia, Salinas Sumbe, Dambe Maria and Ambriz. Key expected outputs are: 4 landing sites constructed, 2 landing sites rehabilitated, 10 landing sites
with additional works completed. 20 % reduction of Post-Harvest Losses. The project will cost UA 25.49 million and will be implemented over a 5 year period.  The project seeks to achieve a reduction of post-harvest losses, and an increase in fishers’ income through: (i) construction of new fish landing sites, (ii) enhancement of
existing fish landing sites, (iii) sustainable management of the established fish landing sites and provision of sustainable marketing strategies which are all embedded in Pillars 1 and 2 of the CSP. The project outcomes and outputs address the areas mentioned in the broad economic and development strategy pursued by the Government, and address both pillars of the Bank’s Agriculture Sector Strategy through the development of fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) and landing site infrastructure, and through capacity building with respect to sustainable use of marine resources. The project will create employment with stable supplies of quality fishery products at the landing sites (through cold
storage and availability of ice). More people will be engaged in processing and transformation of fishery products. Local trade will increase as a result of the aforementioned reasons. In total, an increase of 2,000 additional jobs directly related to the landing sites (management of the landing sites, increased trade, processing, marketing) are expected to be created. The FSSP will therefore build economic infrastructures (cold storage, ice machines, and processing areas), while sustainably managing this important natural resource.  The direct beneficiaries are the fishing population of over 10,000 at the project sites including women who constitute 80% of small scale fish processors and traders. The project will also be of benefit to ancillary trades such as boat repair, net mending, transportation, petty trade and overall economic activities in the project areas.

South Sudan - Juba Power Distribution System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project. The Power Distribution and Rehabilitation Project (PDSRE) aims to strengthen distribution networks in Juba to ensure a reliable electricity supply from existing and future generation facilities. It was initiated because of the low level of electricity production, combined with inefficient distribution networks in the Juba region. It is a project that also aims to compensate for the lost load and to respond to increased demand in the city. Improving and strengthening the electricity supply will help improve the quality of service provided by the national electricity company and the quality of life of the residents, as well as facilitate business activity, thereby contributing to growth economic and poverty reduction in South Sudan. The total estimated cost of the project, initially of UA 17.80 million, has been revised upward in view of its shortfall. The project includes: (i) the construction of 145 km of 33 kV lines  (ii) the construction of 370 km of 415/230 volt lines  (iii) the construction of subscriber lines to connect 20,000 new customers  (iv) the purchase and installation of 195 33 / 0.415 kV transformers  and (v) the purchase and installation of 20,000 prepaid meters for newly connected customers.  The main development objective of the project is to strengthen distribution networks in Juba to ensure a reliable electricity supply and increase the access rate which is currently very low. The provision of electricity will improve residents' quality of life, as will the performance of public and private service providers, thereby contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction in the country.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are key institutions and sectors, including government services, hotels, industries and public infrastructure such as water, health and education. The project will lead to an intensification of economic activities that are limited by the lack of access to an affordable and reliable electricity supply.

South Sudan - Institutional Support Project to Public Finance Management and Aid Coordination (PFAID). The Institutional Support to Public Financial Management and Aid Coordination (PFAID) Project was initiated because of the need to build, with regard to Public Financial Management (PFM) capacities, all policies, systems, institutional arrangements and staffing following South Sudan's independence of independence on 09 July 2011. This project aims to strengthen and complement the other operations supported by the African Development Bank such as the Institutional Capacity Building for Poverty Alleviation and Good Governance Project (ICBPRGGP), ongoing, and support to the University of Juba provided under the Governance Trust Fund. In addition, the PFAID will complement the current support provided by development partners for capacity building. The total estimated cost of the project, net of taxes and customs duties, is UA 4,800 million or about US $ 7.612 million. It has four (4) mutually reinforcing components: (i) institutional capacity building and accountability in public financial management  (ii) improved coordination and aid effectiveness  (iii) strengthening of domestic revenue mobilization, and (iv) capacity building in project management.  The overall objective of the project is to support South Sudan's recovery and development efforts through the effective implementation of the South Sudan Development Plan (SSDP) 2011-13. The specific objectives of the PFAID are: (i) to strengthen and improve transparency and accountability in the use of public resources, through training, skills transfer within the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) and the Ministry of Finance  Finance and Economic Planning (MdFPE)  (ii) improve aid coordination, and (iii) enhance the operational efficiency of beneficiary institutions by providing them with regular office equipment, including information and communication technology (ICT) equipment.  This project will benefit the Government and people of South Sudan in a variety of ways. First, it will greatly help to strengthen weak human and institutional capacity in the public sector financial management system. Secondly, it will contribute to the promotion of good economic governance and the fight against extreme poverty. Third, it will help improve service delivery in the country through efficiency gains in Public Financial Management (PFM). Finally, it should translate into increased non-oil revenues, generating additional resources that the country needs so much to finance its development program.

South Sudan - Gender equality and women's economic empowerment for inclusive growth. The proposed operation concerns a grant of UA 1,000,000 from Pillar III ADF 13 allocation to the Republic of South Sudan to finance the Gender Equality and Economic Empowerment for Inclusive Growth (GEEM-IG). This project seeks to strengthen the capacity of national institutions to mainstream gender into national development and to enhance women’s participation in economic activities and their financial inclusion. It proceeds on the premise that women are adversely impacted by conflict and their empowerment is key to peacebuilding and achieving inclusive growth. The project has three components i) Institutional Capacity Building and Strengthening ii) Women Economic Empowerment iii) Project management. This being primarily a capacity building grant, resources will be deployed to strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of key national institutions for gender mainstreaming including the Gender Directorate and the gender units/focal points at sector ministries. The project will also directly focus on women and promote their participation of women in economic activities through building the skills base of women entrepreneurs to manage and operate competitive businesses, deepening their financial literacy and improving their access to financial services. The project will be implemented over a period of two (02) years.  The main objective of the project is to address poverty and inequality as a key driver of socio and economic fragility by strengthening efforts to empower women and increase their participation in economic activities. The specific objectives of the project will be to i) strengthen human and institutional capacities for gender programming ii) improve the skills of women entrepreneurs and increase their participation of women in economic activities iii) improve access to finance and enhance financial inclusion of women.  The first component of the project will target the strengthening of the main national institutions responsible for integrating gender into national development programming. These include the Directorate of Gender, the gender units/focal points and technical budgeting officials at sector ministries as well as the Ministry of Finance. The second component will target particular entities key to women’s economic empowerment such as women entrepreneurship and cooperative associations that will benefit from financial literacy programmes and business skills development and limited grants for financial inclusion. The indirect beneficiaries are the general population of South Sudan in particular women who will gain from a better policy framework for gender mainstreaming in general and women’s participation in economic activities more specifically.

South Sudan - Resilient Water Project for Improved Livelihoods in Juba Project. The Water Supply Resilience Project for Improving Living Conditions in Juba (RWPILJ) was initiated due to the deterioration of the overall infrastructure, the long years of insufficient investment and the poor maintenance of hydraulic infrastructure in South Sudan. This project aims, in terms of development, to improve the water supply in the city of Juba in order to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the inhabitants of the capital of South Sudan. This would include more equitable access to sustainable water supplies in the project area and improved water system functionality.

The project will directly benefit approximately three hundred thousand (300,000) people in Juba and the neighboring rural state of Jubek.

South Sudan - Agricultural Markets, Value Addition and Trade Development Project (AMVAT). Agricultural Markets, Value Addition and Trade Development Project (AMVAT) provides the opportunity to address some of the fundamental constraints to agricultural growth in South Sudan. It aims to contribute to reduced food insecurity, poverty reduction and building of community and household resilience. AMVAT takes an Agricultural Value Chain Approach including supporting the development of producer associations. The project will support and complement the entire value chain by supporting farmer households engaged in the identified value chains of maize, sorghum, groundnuts and sesame. The project will establish 20 Aggregation Business Centres (ABCs), 100 Business Producer Associations (BPAs) and 10 Seed Enterprise Groups (SEGs) to provide improved seeds to the BPAs and outside markets. The project will also provide food safety training for laboratory technicians and other stakeholders in the food chain market system which will provide safer and more healthy food for over 500,000 people. The AMVAT has four main components, namely: (i) increase agricultural productivity and production  (ii) improve market-place economic and social infrastructure  (iii) enhance market and trade enabling environment  and (iv) project management and coordination.  The development goal of AMVAT is to contribute to reduced food insecurity, poverty reduction and building of community and household resilience. Specific objectives include to: (i) increase agricultural productivity, (ii) increase agro-processing, aggregation and marketing of agricultural produce, and (iii) increase trade in agricultural products.  The project will benefit 20,000 farming households (about 120,000 individuals) in the three states of Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria and Jonglei. It will target households that have been receiving food aid over the past several years (many of them IDP returnees) but are now ready to graduate into agricultural development activities to produce crops for food and marketing for increased incomes.

South Sudan - Private sector development in a fragile context - Capacity Building and access to finance youth and women. The Private Sector Development in Fragile Context: Capacity Building and Access to Finance for Youth and Women (PSDFC) aims to increase employment opportunities, market access and incomes for women and youth in South Sudan. The PSDFC project is complementing other Bank funded projects to maximize the impact on job creation. It will contribute to sustain peace and development in South Sudan, widening the opportunities for women and youth, and engage them through entrepreneurial skills enhancement. Specifically, this will address:(i) low levels of business and financial skills including literacy on business management  (ii) challenges in accessing financing, diversifying and sustaining Micro  and  Small  Enterprises (MSEs)  (iii) inaccessibility to services of good quality  iv) limited access to information about market demands and trends  (v) absence of organised collective efforts to meet market requirements  (vi) low productivity  and (vii) capacity challenges of government and private sector institutions for private sector and entrepreneurship development. The project will be implemented over a period of 36 months in Western Bahr-el-ghazal and Western Equatoria where activities in the above value chains are viable. Its total cost is UA 1,500,000 (equivalent to USD 2,145,000) financed through Transition Support Facility (TSF) pillar III.  The overall goal of the PSDFC project is to increase employment opportunities, market access and incomes for women and youth in South Sudan. The specific objectives of the PSDFC project are: (i) Support growth of MSEs through Business Development Services (BDS), technical training and linkages to Markets and Micro-Finance Institutions (MFIs) to access finance  and(ii) Strengthened institutional capacities of the government and private sector institutions to promote growth of MSEs and the economic empowerment of women and youth.  Direct project beneficiaries are: (i) 1,050 youth (18-35 years, 50% female) and 450 women who will be supported to establish, respectively, 30 and 20 market/value chain-oriented Village Saving and Loan Associations (VSLAs) respectively. VSLAs members will be encouraged to form groups of 5 people based on common economic interest to create MSEs and access business start-up capital from the financing facility. The start-up capital will be offered in form of interest free loans to be reimbursed to create a revolving fund for women and youth-led MSEs.

South Sudan - Youth Enterprise Development and Capacity Building Project. The Youth Enterprise Development and Capacity Building (YEDCB) project aims to enhance employability and job creation for young women and men aged 18-35 years in South Sudan through strengthening the private sector, building entrepreneurship skills, and improving the enabling environment.  The objectives of the project are to: (i) increase employability of youth by facilitating access to skills development, business development support and financing  and (ii) enhance public service delivery through institutional and human capacity development. The project seeks to ensure that youth with the potential to grow as entrepreneurs are self-employed and/or create employment for others through their sustainable businesses. Specifically, the project will address: (i) the weaknesses in the entrepreneurship skills  (ii) the lack of access to finance  (iii) the lack of access to markets and information  and iv) capacity challenges of government institutions for enhanced public service delivery, especially to support MSE development and youth economic empowerment.  The direct project beneficiaries are: (i) 3,036 youth (50% women) who will  be  supported  in  establishing  sustainable  businesses.  Out  of  these,  2,550  youth  will be supported through 85 VSLAs and 510 newly established youth group start-ups. The remaining 486 youth will be supported through 243 already existing early-stage youth-led MSEs (50% women  led)  to  grow  and  for  each  to  create  at  least  two  new  jobs  over  the project  cycle demonstrating  business  growth  and  employability  capacity. The  beneficiaries  will  include rural  and  urban  youth,  ex-combatants,  returnees,  and  persons  with  disabilities  who  will  be taken  from  the  iHub  data  bases  and  portal,  augmented  by  project  mobilization  activities. During project implementation, it will be explored on how best to also include some forcibly displaced youth (refugees and IDPs) and youth in hosting communities to further foster social cohesion  and  leave  no  one  behind.  To  ensure  equitable  distribution  between  areas  and segments of youth, agreed criteria will be set with the state governments to guide the initial selection  process.  Final  determination  of  youth  to  benefit  from  start-up  support,  BDS,  and financing  will  depend  on  the  completion  of  training,  organization  of  businesses,  and establishment of groups and VSLAs.

South Sudan - Emergency Food Production Programme - Project 1 (SSEFPP-1). The proposed operation is an additional financing of UA 6 million is to the ongoing Agricultural Markets, Value Addition and Trade Development Project (AMVAT) Project to create greater development impact and as an emergency response. AMVAT Project is an ongoing Bank project in South Sudan financed through an ADF-15 grant of UA 5.53 million and a TSF-I grant of UA 4.47 million, with its last disbursement date in September 2025. The South Sudan Emergency Food Production Programme – Project-1 (SSEFPP-1) will specifically complement the AMVAT component 1 to increase agricultural productivity and production  component 3 to enhance market and trade enabling environment, including strengthening institutional capacity  and component 4 on project management and coordination. The proposed SSEFPP-1 therefore aims to increase production and productivity by increasing use of improved seeds, fertilizer and quality extension services, including development of guidelines and protocols for seed certification and fertilizer usage. The Project will also address the country’s external shocks occasioned by the Russia-Ukraine war, the lingering effects of COVID-19, and climate-change induced crop failures, among other stresses. The project will be implemented through 3 components: (i) Large-scale delivery of agricultural inputs (improved seeds and fertilizer) and extension services to male and female farmers  (ii) Development of seed and fertilizer frameworks, and institutional capacity strengthening  and (iii) Project management and coordination.  The overall sector goal remains the AMVAT goal, to contribute to reduced food insecurity, poverty reduction, economic growth and building of community and household resilience and social cohesion. The specific SSEFPP-1 Development Objective (PDO) is to boost local food production and strengthen the resilience of food systems to mitigate short and long-term risks due to the war in Ukraine and climate-induced stresses.  The SSEFPP-1 will support an additional 100,000 farming households (about 600,000 individuals) in the five states of Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Eastern Equatoria and Western Equatoria The SSEFPP-1 will prioritise households that have been receiving food aid over the past several years (many of them IDP returnees) but are now ready to graduate into or increase their agricultural development activities to produce crops for food and marketing for increased incomes. About 50% of these households are women headed households. 20% of beneficiaries will be youth integrated either as producers, input suppliers, transporters, or cereal/pulse traders at various levels of the crops value chain.

South Sudan - Institutional Support Project for Strengthening Economic Governance. Oil revenue accounts for more than 98% of public revenue, making South Sudan’s economy largely dependent on oil  hence a need to expand and diversify the non-oil revenue base, especially considering the potential from other revenue sources such as agriculture and animal products, forestry, mining, industry, trade, and tourism. The country started building its government institutions from a low base only less than a decade ago following3 independence in 2011. Since then, some progress has been achieved, as core administrative structures and mechanisms of political representation have been set up. Unfortunately, the decade of conflict in South Sudan has destroyed both human and institutional capacities across governance functions, including generation and management of statistics as a basis for accountability and evidence-based policy decision making in government, the private sector, as well as the non-government organizations. In addition, at independence, the country did not have adequate governance and institutional structures to efficiently manage its financial, economic and natural resources and formulate sound policies. Weak institutional capacities both at the national and state levels have been identified as being at the centre of the country’s failure to sustain peace. Identified challenges include (i) inadequate and lack of disaggregated economic and social data  (ii) incomplete or absence of legal frameworks (i.e., laws and regulations)  (iii) inadequate institutional and human capacity  and (iv) inadequacy in policy, strategy and plan for various sector ministriesiii. This has resulted in shortcomings in economic policy planning, formulation and implementation  gender and regional imbalanced public services delivery  poor institutional coordination  limited transparency and accountability frameworks for economic governance  weak resources mobilization  and inefficient public spending and monitoring/oversight.  The development objective of the ISP SEG is to strengthen PFM (i.e., formulation and implementation)  through  evidence-based  inclusive  policy  dialogue, contributing  to  an inclusive  national  development.  The  project  will  support  ongoing  PFM  reforms  to  boost budget framework and efficiency of public sector spending as a way of reducing economic and political fragility in South Sudan. The proposed support will include providing technical assistance,  in  particular,  embedded   advisors  to  strengthen  capacity  to  generate  and disseminate  innovative  knowledge  that  would  guide  policy  and  strategy  in  development planning.  ISP SEG will be implemented nationwide. The project’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry  of  Finance  and  Planning (including  at  the  state  level),  Ministry  of  Investment, Ministry of Mining, Bank of South Sudan, Parliament (including at the state level) and the National Bureau of Statistics. In addition, the project will benefit the general population of South  Sudan,  who  will derive  their benefitsfrom  the  enhanced  economic  activities, and employment creation arising from the stimulation of private sector participation in economic activities as a result of the improved environment.

South Sudan - Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa through the Africa Disaster Risk Financing Program. The financing for ADRiFi in South Sudan will be channelled as an additional financing to the ongoing Program to Build Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security in the Horn of Africa (BREFONS) which was approved in November 2021. The overall goal of BREFONS is to build resilience to food and nutrition insecurity in the project intervention areas in the Horn of Africa. BREFONS’ specific objective is to build resilience to food insecurity and climate change by enabling participating countries to: (i) increase agropastoral productivity and production systems in cross-border areas in the IGAD region (the regional clusters)  (ii) make agropastoral value chains more competitive, thereby ultimately boosting trade and incomes  and (iii) enhance populations’ adaptive capacity so that people can better prepare for and manage climate change, climate risks, and climate variations. The BREFONS project in South Sudan is anchored on four components: (i) strengthening pastoral and agropastoral production systems’ resilience to climate change  (ii) supporting the development of agribusiness  (iii) building agropastoral communities’ capacity to adapt to climate change  and (iv) coordinating the programme and managing knowledge. The additional financing for ADRiFi from TSF Pillar 1 will be used to scale-up activities under Component 3 of BREFONS, Sub-component 3.1: Enhancing climate services infrastructure and Sub-component 3.2: Providing climate risk finance and insurance. The total additional financing for Component 3 of BREFONS is UA 4.58 million. UA 4 million of the financing is from the unallocated envelope of TSF Pillar 1, which will be provided to South Sudan as a grant.  The overall goal of ADRiFi is to enhance the resilience and response to climate shocks in South Sudan by improving the management of climate disaster risks. In line with Component 3 of BREFONS, the specific objective of ADRiFi in South Sudan is to enhance the adaptive capacity to prepare for and manage climate risks in South Sudan. The ADRiFi project in South Sudan will focus on two sub-components: Sub-component 3.1: Enhancing climate services infrastructure and Subcomponent 3.2: Providing climate risk finance and insurance. Details of the additional activities to be implemented are provided in sub-section 2 (C).  Improvement of weather observation networks will benefit the South Sudan Meteorological Department (SSMD). Capacity enhancement will be targeted at the 43 staff of SSMD to enhance their capacity to collect, process, analyse and disseminate climate information. The entire population of South Sudan of about 12 million people, which is largely rural, will indirectly benefit from the improved climate information services through provision of effective and timely early warning and agro-meteorological information. The interventions with the additional financing will be targeted at the rural areas of South Sudan, especially the Nile basin, that are exposed to and experience severe flooding. Payouts triggered from the risk pool after severe flood events will enable the government or its selected partners to intervene and deliver quick assistance to affected areas, thus protecting lives and livelihood assets of the affected population.

SOUTH SUDAN - Support to Technical and Vocational Education and training (TVET) for Value Chain Development Bank. The Support to TVET for Value Chain Development Project aims to increase access to quality middle-level technical skills training for South Sudan youth to promote their participation in agricultural value chain development and employability. Thus, the Project will help increase the availability of specialized skills in agriculture value chain development in the labour market. The focus is on improving skills development infrastructure and strengthening TVET coordination, governance, and quality systems. The Project will ensure alignment to the skills needs including food safety and standards, agricultural extension services, etc under AMVAT. The project will also contribute to South Sudan’s competitiveness by contributing to improved quality of its products in conformity with standards for trade both at regional and international levels. The project components include: (i) Skills for value chain development, (ii) TVET sub-sector and institutional capacity building, and (iii) Project management.  The project development objective is to increase access to quality middle-level technical skills training for South Sudan youth to promote their participation in agricultural value chain development and employability.  Specifically, the Project will engage with the School of Applied and Industrial Sciences (SAIS) and School of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies. However, the university lacks modern training facilities to improve the quality of training due to low funding. Overall, the facilities will directly benefit about 250 students (30% females) who will enrol in the new programmes and indirectly benefit about 2,000 youth (30% females). The indirect beneficiaries include other students from the School of Applied and Industrial Sciences, students from the School of Natural Resources and Environmental Studies and the School of Community Studies and Rural Development who will also benefit from the training facilities.

South Sudan - Support to the Covid-19 Pandemic Response Project. The proposed project is a UA 3 Million grant from the TSF Pillar 1 (ADF-14) resources under the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF) to the Republic of South Sudan to finance the COVID-19 Pandemic Response Project. The first case of COVID-19 was reported on 5th April 2020 and as of May 15, 2020, a total of 994 cases and 10 deaths have been confirmed. South Sudan lacks adequate health system capacity to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health system is characterized by low health workforce density, limited inpatient bed capacity, gaps in health workers’ skills and competencies, inadequate health infrastructure, and lack of functioning medical equipment. Low coverage of community health interventions and poor access to health facilities further limit the uptake of health services. The project will support the emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic and build health system capacity for emergency preparedness in South Sudan. Major activities will focus on improving health facilities and health worker capacity for detecting COVID-19 and treating COVID-19 cases. The two main components will be implemented synergistically drawing upon complementary linkages to respond immediately to the pandemic as well as build long-term resilience for emergency preparedness in the health system.  The overall objective of the project is to support the emergency response for COVID-19 and strengthen health system capacity for emergency preparedness in South Sudan.  The project will benefit the Government and the entire population of Southern Sudan.

South Sudan - Skills for Youth Employability and Social Inclusion (SYE-SS) Project. The present intervention concerns the Skills for Youth Employability and Social Inclusion (SYE-SS) Project. It aims to increase availability of quality vocational skills needed in the labour market. The project addresses a key issue of human capital development through increased capacity to produce skilled labour force. It will provide affirmative action to the vulnerable youth through provision of pathways to further learning or employment, as well, as providing ‘second chance’ learning opportunities. Its expected outcomes are: i) Improved quality of graduates from Vocational Training Centres, and ii) Improved equity and increased access to formal and non-formal vocational and skills training. The proposed outputs include: i) Increased access to demand driven skills for employability, ii) Promoting equal opportunity, iii) Improved quality and relevance of Vocational Training, and iii) Capacity enhancement for relevant ministries and training institutions. This intervention will ensure strong engagement between the training institutions and the labour market (both private and public sectors) in order to ascertain skills needs and relevance.  The project goal is to contribute to increased availability of quality demand-driven vocational skills. Its specific objectives are: i) Increase supply of relevant vocational skills through providing learning opportunities for vulnerable youth  ii) Provide internships and job placements opportunities for the youth with the private sector through partnership agreements  iii) Promote social cohesion
and peace building by mainstreaming human rights, trauma management, and peace building
modules in all the training  and, iv) Capacity development of the Ministry of Labour, Public Service and Human Resource Development to improve overall system strengthening and institutional development.  The project direct beneficiaries are 1,000 youth (50 percent female). The beneficiaries will include ex-combatants and persons with disabilities. The beneficiaries will acquire vocational skills in selected trades, access career guidance and counselling services, job placement and industrial internship with private sector companies. About 20 trainers (20 percent female) will benefit from training of trainers.

South Sudan - Improving Access and Quality of Basic Education Project (IAQBE). The Improving Access and Quality of Basic Education Project (IAQBE) aims to contribute to increasing access to quality primary education and improve learning outcomes for some of the most marginalized children in South Sudan, where more than 2.2 million children are out of school. The proposed is the Bank’s response to a formal request by the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) to support its efforts aimed at improving access and quality of social services in the country. The project is in line with the National General Education Policy Framework 2017–2022 places strong emphasis on basic, secondary and teacher training. It is focusing on rehabilitating the school infrastructure destroyed during the war and building additional classroom blocks to facilitate the upgrading of lower primary schools to include upper primary levels. This expansion will allow for an increased number of children to transition to upper primary. The following key strategic outcomes for the project have been identified: (i) to improve access to quality primary education for 30,000 boys and girls through the rehabilitation and expansion of 35 primary schools in four former States where learning has been greatly affected by the conflict  (ii) enhance the capacity of 2,000 teachers to effectively teach and support children to learn using child-centered teaching methods and improved classroom management. Its implementation cost is UA 13.35 million over a period of 4 years from October 2019 to September 2023.  The goal is to contribute to equitable access to quality basic education. The project specific objectives are (i) enhance access to primary education through improved infrastructure for delivery of education at community level, (ii) enhance the capacity of teachers to effectively teach and support children to learn through teacher training, and (iii) capacity development of the Ministry of General Education and Instructions (MoGEI) to improve overall system strengthening and institutional development. These will contribute to addressing underlying drivers of fragility, enhance inclusivity and build resilience.  The project will support 35 primary schools in four former states of Upper Nile, Unity, Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria. The primary schools to be rehabilitated and extended will benefit over 30,000 children. The teacher training institutes will benefit over 400 teachers coming from across the country over a period of four (4) years, and subsequently, provide an output of more than 200 trainees per year. The 10 County Education Centres (CECs) will benefit at least 1,600 teachers over the project life, and thereafter, train at least 400 teachers through in-service per year. Priority of CECs will be where there are no operational Teachers Training Institutes (NTTIs) .

South Sudan - Juba Power Distribution System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project. The proposed operation is a supplementary financing in the form of a loan of UA 10.61 million from the African Development Fund [Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pilar I] to the Republic of South Sudan for the Juba Power Distribution System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project (PDSRE). PDSRE aims at strengthening the distribution networks in Juba to provide reliable electricity supply from existing and future generation facilities and thus satisfy the suppressed load and demand growth in the city. The Bank support is in line with the South Sudan Development Plan (SSDP) and South Sudan Infrastructure Action Plan (SSIAP) both identifying infrastructure as a core priority for South Sudan. The Project consists of the construction of (i) 145 km of 33 kV lines  (ii) 370 km of 415/230 volt lines  (iii) drop lines for 20,000 new customers, (iv) the purchase and installation of 195 transformer stations of 33/0.415 kV  and (v) 20 000 prepaid meters for the newly connected customers. However, in the course of implementation, the project encountered financing gaps mainly due to the high international price rises of equipment and material compared to the project cost estimate during the project appraisal in 2013. The escalated project cost has resulted in a financing gap of UA 10.61 million to complete the construction. This additional resource will enable the completion of the project and the achievement of its development objectives.  The main development objective of the Project is to strengthen the distribution networks in Juba in order to provide reliable electricity and increase access in the city which is currently at a very low level. The supply of electricity will improve the quality of life of the residents  improve the performances of the public and private service providers  and promote businesses, thus contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction in South Sudan.  The project will be implemented in Juba, which is the capital of South Sudan and that of the Central Equatorial State. The city has three payams (districts) namely Juba, Kator and Munuki with an estimated population of 368,436 people of which 48.1% are women. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be key institutions and sectors, namely government offices, hotels, industry and public infrastructure such as water, health and education will be. The project will result in increased economic activities which are currently impaired by lack of affordable and reliable electricity supply  increased electrification rate to new parts of Juba with an estimated minimum of 20,000 new connections, and economic empowerment especially among women who are major players in food processing and catering.

South Sudan  - Regional Development Finance Institutions (African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI) and Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB)) – Country Membership Programme. The present project aims to strengthen South Sudan's capacity by providing the financial resources necessary to join the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) and the Africa Trade Insurance Agency (ITA) to be able to mobilize a significant amount of foreign direct investment (FDI), while providing greater insurance coverage for the public and private sectors to support its economic recovery efforts. This contribution to South Sudan will help scale up the African Development Bank's interventions to support the country's recovery and combat some of the factors that contribute to the fragility of the economy. Indeed, the investment climate in South Sudan is not conducive, mainly due to insecurity, lack of infrastructure, lack of access to long-term, low-cost financing for the shortage of skilled labor compared to the rest of the region and poor corporate governance, which weighs on the public and private sectors. The duration of the proposed project is 15 months (April 2017-June 2018). It consists of the following two components: (i) TDB Membership  and ii) ITA membership. Thus, the expected results of this project include: (i) increased private sector participation in major projects through ITA support  and (ii) the development of intraregional trade and increased cross-border investment. In addition, South Sudan's membership of the ITA will support the creation of an integrated and enhanced Trade Finance (FC) and Private Investment Risk Underwriting Framework in the country by the ITA. Another expected result of the project is the strengthening of South Sudan's capacity to attract FDI, as the political and credit risk situation has improved.  The main objective of the proposed intervention is to provide the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) with the necessary resources to join the Africa Trade Insurance Agency (ITA) and the Bank of Commerce and Development (TDB).  South Sudan will be the immediate beneficiary of the program, which will ultimately indirectly benefit the South Sudanese private sector and, by extension, all citizens, as it will stimulate job creation for both young people and young people, women, trade and inclusive growth.

South Sudan - Non-Oil Revenue Mobilisation and Accountability in South Sudan Project (NORMA-SS). The non-oil revenue mobilization and accountability project in South Sudan was designed because of the need to take immediate steps to reduce dependency on oil, boost non-oil revenues and reduce oil revenues strengthen control of expenditure. Indeed, oil revenues, on which the country's economy depends, collapsed following the price decline since July 2014, resulting in a budget deficit of 30% of GDP in 2015. In addition, the present is a project institutional support, funded by both grant and loan resources, to complement other donor interventions designed to address capacity needs in two interrelated areas, including capacity building at the country level, non-oil revenues at both the national and state levels, while improving financial control, transparency and accountability. The project cost is estimated at UA 11.833 million and will be financed at UA 10.65 million. It has three mutually reinforcing components: (i) Improved domestic resource mobilization in the non-oil sector  ii) Strengthening financial control, accountability and control mechanisms  and iii) Project management.  The overall development objective of the project is to promote sustainable and stronger economic growth by increasing domestic resource mobilization and enhancing accountability for the use of public resources.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the Ministries of Finance and Planning, more specifically the National Revenue Office (NRA), the General Directorate of Taxes, the Treasury, Budget, Internal Audit and Debt Services and the Aid Coordination, the Tax Administration and Customs, as well as the National Audit Chamber, the Public Accounts Committee, as well as the State Revenue Offices. This project will benefit the Government and the people of South Sudan by strengthening the existing weak human and institutional capacity in the non-oil revenue administration sector at the national and state levels, as well as through the strengthening of their public financial management systems.

Rwanda - Scaling Up Electricity Access Program Phase II (SEAP II) - Additional Financing. The proposed project is an additional amount of UA 16.4 Million (USD 22.97Million) under the Scaling Up Electricity Access (SEAP II) Phase II Program which aims to support the Government of Rwanda (GoR) to meet its ambitious energy targets of universal electricity access to Kigali city by 2019 and nationwide by 2024. This additional financing represents a critical step towards meeting GoR’s efforts to speed up the delivery of the Energy Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP – 2018-2024). It will scale up activities under Results Area 2 (Increase on-grid access for household and productive-use SME) for the additional amount of UA 16.4 Million (USD 22.97Million) to be focused mainly on rural areas. The activities to be scaled up include increasing on-grid access by constructing additional 19.7 km of Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV) distribution lines, installation of distribution transformers, and prepaid meters to enable connection of 200 SMEs and 28,924 households to the grid. The number of customers connected to the network would measure the degree of additional access achieved by the program.  The purpose of SEAP II is to support the Government of Rwanda’s (GoR) efforts to improve the reliability of power supply and increase on and off grid access to electricity. In this regard, SEAP II has four (4) Results Areas, namely: (i) Improve reliability of electricity supply  (ii) Increase on-grid electricity access for household and productive-use for Small Medium Enterprises (SME)  (iii) Increase off-grid access to renewable energy  and (iv) Institutional strengthening and capacity building.  The Additional Financing (AF) expects to add 28,954 new household and 200 SME’s, bringing the cumulative total connection of new customers to 347,120 and 2312 respectively by the end of the program. By the end of the program, at roughly 70% of new customer will be in the rural areas. Deepening lighting coverage in rural areas is expected to yield significant benefits for households who have to do away with torches, wick and hurricane lamps. It will increase children’s study time at home and increase micro and macro level enterprises such as commerce, milling, welding or sewing.

Rwanda - Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program – Additional Financing. The proposed project is a supplementary loan operation to extend the Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program in Rwanda to other underserved areas. The initial phase of the program targeted the city of Kigali and the satellite towns of Rubavu, Rusizi, Nyagatare, Muhanga, Huye, Musanze and Karongi. This additional funding will cover water supply infrastructure in new areas that were not included in the initial programme funding due to lack of resources. These areas are located in the districts of Nyagatare, Gatsibo, Kayonza, Ngoma, Bugesera, Ruhango, Nyanza, Muhanga, Ngororero, Kamonyi, Musanze, Nyabihu, Rubavu, Karongi and Rutsiro. The additional funding will also support the provision of sanitation facilities in ten (10) schools and the improvement of the efficiency of some rural piped water supply systems. This operation also complements the Bank's private sector-financed Kigali Bulk Water Supply Project by connecting the water treatment plant to the city's water supply network. It will enable the Government of the Republic of Rwanda to provide improved water supply services to an additional 1.5 million people, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 5.4 million. The programme is being implemented over 6 years (including the implementation period of the current initial funding). Its expanded scope will help the country accelerate progress towards universal access to improved water supply and sanitation services by 2024, in line with the First National Transformation Strategy (NST-1). The total cost of the programme, including additional activities, is estimated at € 379.689 million, excluding taxes and duties.  The development objective of the program is to improve the quality of life and socio-economic development of the people and country by ensuring equitable provision of adequate, reliable and sustainable water and sanitation services for targeted cities.  With the proposed additional financing, approximately 1.5 million more people (of which 0.7 million are in peri-urban/ rural areas) will be benefitting from improved, reliable and sustainable water supply services.

Rwanda - Scaling Up Electricity Access Program Phase II (SEAP II). The second phase of the Scaling Up Electricity Access Program (SEAP II) in Rwanda, is a three-year Results Based Financing (RBF) program starting in 2018 with the loan allocation as follows: 28.05% to improve power system reliability, 64.48 % to increase on-grid access, 3.80 % to increase offgrid access, 2.67% to strengthen institutions and for capacity building and technical assistance. This is the first operation of its kind designed to use the RBF instrument on a pilot basis. The intervention has been prepared in response to a formal request submitted by the GoR in April 2018 where they expressed readiness to pilot the RBF and in a revised version of July 2018 where they applied to allocate more resources for the program. The RBF will cover the first three years of the Energy Sector Strategy Plan (ESSP)’s period (2018-2024), for an amount of EUR229.2M or about 8.1% of the ESSP financing. The expansion and rehabilitation of the distribution network as well as the improvements in reliability will contribute to making more electricity available for consumers in the region.  The SEAP-II Program Development Objective(s) are to improve the power supply reliability, increase on and off grid access in Kigali city and in the Southern and Western provinces and enhance institutional capacity for effective implementation of the government’s electrification program.  The primary program beneficiaries include: (i) more than 193,366 customers who will be connected to the grid and benefit from a more reliable energy source  (ii) 124,800 low income customers who will be provided with SHSs  (iii) existing industrial, commercial and productive-use customers who will benefit from increased quality of service because of improved power system reliability  (iv) local contractors for supply and installation  and (v) the local population to benefit from increased employment opportunities during the project implementation. The increased access to electricity will benefit both women and men, with the expectation that 52% of beneficiaries/people will be women. It is anticipated that off-grid solutions will provide opportunities for women entrepreneurs and improve the welfare, income generation and empowerment of women and children – girls in particular – in rural areas.

Rwanda - Emergency Agricultural Production Recovery Project. The Emergency Agricultural Production Project (PRAUPA) is selected as part of the rebuilding of socio-economic fabric much of which was destroyed during the 1994 genocide. This tragic event had a highly negative impact on the agricultural sector (losses in food production estimated at 75% of the productive potential). The Project was identified as one of the priority projects of the reconciliation and socio-economic rehabilitation programme. It consists of 3 components: i) Rehabilitation of irrigation schemes and development of pilot Marshland areas  ii) Support to the Directorate of Rural Engineering and Soil Conservation (DGRCS) in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock  iii) Research and Development and Training. The project is expected to rehabilitate the Bugarama (1600 ha) and Rwamagana (950 ha) irrigation schemes to enable rice farmers to double crop annually to achieve incremental production of milled rice of 3,300 tons at full development  enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and the two cooperatives  establish input credit guarantee fund and upscale technology testing and transfer.  The objectives are to increase the production of milled rice so that 80% of the national requirement is met from the benefits of the project by 2001  and also to enhance the capacity of rice producers and other stakeholders.  The project intended beneficiaries are rice producers in the Bugarama and Rwamagana irrigation schemes and the MOA. The aim is to increase local rice production to meet a significant proportion (80%) of national rice requirements.

Rwanda - Study of the master plan for marsh development, watershed protection and soil conservation. The Study of the master plan for marsh development, watershed protection and soil conservation will provide the Government of Rwanda with an essential tool for the rational exploitation of marshlands and the restoration of soil fertility, which are all necessary actions to consolidate food security and preserve the country's environmental balance. This study fits well into the Bank's overall action in the field of flooded and swampy land development, as it will be able to use, as a field of application and experimentation, the two marshes of Bisenyi and Rugende, which will be developed as part of the project to revive urgent agricultural production activities. The study will be carried out over a 24-month period and includes the following two phases: (i) the design of a general master plan for marsh development and watershed protection. The master plan will not only define a coherent framework for action by donors or any other operator, but will also provide, in the form of a bankable project, the means to prove the validity of its proposals  and (ii) feasibility and summary preliminary project studies (SPP) and detailed studies of a first tranche of 5,000 ha net (6,000 ha gross) of marshes integrating hillside soil development and conservation actions.  The sectoral objective is to increase agricultural production, particularly food production, while preserving environmental balance. The objective of the study is to provide Rwanda with a tool for the rational use of marshes, watershed management and soil conservation.  The study will mainly benefit the Rwandan Government and will provide a coherent framework for intervention by the many donors, including UNDP, the People's Republic of China and the European Union, among others, who are interested in marsh development. Indeed, by defining a medium- and long-term action programme, the master plan will avoid a dispersion of funding, allowing efforts to be focused on clearly identified actions.

The project should contribute to sustained increase in milk and meat production, through the introduction of appropriate technological packages into stockbreeding in villages and periurban areas. Foodstuffs of animal origin should be effectively controlled by setting up a control service. Credit should enable operators to develop their livestock activities. The expected increase in production under the project is estimated at 209,000 litres of milk and 7,900 tonnes of meat at full development. The main components of the project are: A) Outreach and Extension Activities  B) Intensification of Cattle Breeding  C) Veterinary Activities  D) Promotion of Livestock Products  E) Institution Building  and F) Project Management.  The overall project objective is to contribute to food self-sufficiency and poverty reduction. The specific objective of the project is to satisfy domestic demand for milk and beef, as well as contribute to increasing the incomes of producers.  The project is intended to satisfy the needs of poor people living on stockbreeding. Three vulnerable groups have been identified in Rwanda: (i) structural vulnerable groups made up of farm households whose land is too small for them to live well  (ii) economic vulnerable groups often made up of repatriated households facing housing, health and education problems  and (iii) groups rendered vulnerable by the 1994 genocide made up of: (a) unaccompanied children (orphans and children separated from their families)  (b) children who head households  (c) street children  (d) old persons who are isolated and without family support or resources  and (e) handicapped persons.

Rwanda - Livestock Infrastructure Support Programme (Sector Budget Support). The proposed Livestock Infrastructure Support Programme (LISP) is the Bank’s second sector budget support operation in Rwanda and will be implemented over four fiscal years, 2011 to 2015. It is the Bank’s response to a formal request of the GoR dated December 9 2009 for a quick disbursing fiscal stimulus ADF funds to support its efforts aimed at mitigating the adverse impact of the global financial and economic crisis and consolidate the gains made under the Dairy Cattle Development Support Project (PADEBL). Overall, the programme has 2 major components (i) Livestock Infrastructure Support Component and (ii) Food Security Enhancement and Capacity Building Component.  The goal of the Programme is poverty reduction through increased value addition and marketing which will provide the necessary pull effect for private sector investment in the Livestock/Dairy industry. The purpose of the programme is to build the necessary infrastructure and services that will contribute to the development of a sustainable and profitable livestock and dairy industry in Rwanda.  The programme will be beneficial to the entire population of Rwanda, including private businesses and neighbouring countries’ livestock and livestock products consumers. The impact will be felt in terms of extended access to a more reliable livestock water supply and improved rural feeder road that will lead to reduced cost of marketing. Overall, the wellbeing and quality of life of all Rwandans will be improved and employment creation will be assured.

Rwanda - Preparation activities of the Livestock Infrastructure Support Program. The goal of the LISP is the creation of an enabling environment that will stimulate the development of a modern livestock industry in Rwanda through value addition and access to markets. The specific objective of the Programme is to build the necessary infrastructure and services that will contribute to the development of a sustainable and profitable livestock production and marketing and overall improvement of the livestock industry in Rwanda. The overall objectives of the study are (i) to assess water requirements of the livestock farms, carry out relevant technical investigations and studies (comprising of but not limited to hydrological, hydro-geological and hydraulic studies, topographical surveys, geotechnical investigations, socio-economic assessment), and prepare detailed engineering designs for the 72 LWS and tender documents to facilitate the construction of civil and hydraulic structures and (ii) to propose a management system for operation and maintenance for the 72 LWS that would reduce the burden on the government and lead to ownership of the facilities by farmers for sustainability. Detailed Terms of references (TOR) of the study has been prepared to be used by the selected consultant. The study would produce (i) reports on water requirements for the livestock of the Gishwati and Umutara milk basins, water resources available and proposal for developing the water supply for livestock farmers  (ii) preliminary and detailed engineering design reports of the 72 LWS and tender documents for the civil works  (iii) a proposal for a management system for the 72 LWS that would make the livestock farmers take ownership of their operation and maintenance for sustainability, and (iv) an environmental and social impact assessment report of the 72 LWS.

Rwanda - Inland Lakes Integrated Development and Management Support Project (PAIGELAC). The present intervention concerns the Inland Lakes Integrated Development and Management Support Project. It falls within the priority areas of the national poverty reduction strategy. The project should help build national capacities in the sustainable management of fish resources, ensure a lasting build up of fish stocks over 25,000 hectares of water bodies, protect 35,000 hectares of catchment areas and induce an additional annual production of 10,000 tonnes of fish and 1,000 of pigs and poultry. At the economic level, the project should also generate savings in foreign exchange with the gradual substitution of fish imports estimated at RWF 1.8 billion annually. The project comprises three main components, namely: (i) institutional capacity building  (ii) improvement of production and marketing  and (iii) project management. The main expected outputs are: (i) building of the institutional capacities of fishery sub-sector operators, NGOs, fishery administration and local communities involved  (ii) integrated management of 25,000 hectares of water bodies and protection of 35,000 hectares of watersheds  (iii) increase in the national fish production by 10,000 tonnes per year, associated animals by 1,000 tonnes per year and the diversification of the activities of fishermen  and (iv) improvement of basic infrastructure, equipment and services.

The project beneficiaries are the populations of the 17 riparian districts estimated at 1.3 million inhabitants, of whom 0.7 million are women, that is, 54%. The latter are generally poor and highly disadvantaged in terms of access to basic social services. In general, households are vulnerable but more particularly 57% of them are headed by women and minors.

Rwanda - Mutara Agricultural Development Project (Phase I). The Mutara agricultural development project is among the priority actions defined in Rwanda’s 4th National Economic and Social Development Plan. Its aim is to satisfy food requirements and ensure a better utilization of manpower resources through the creation of jobs in agriculture and agroprocessing. By its actions in favour of education, health, and drinking-water supply, it will contribute to improving living standards. The country will save foreign exchange because of the import-substitution which will result from the additional food production. The project will make for protection of the ecological environment through better management of its micro-climatic, biological and pedological components. It consists in: (i) developing and farming an area of 1,470 ha for cultivation under irrigation of rice and soybeans, and an area of 80 ha for cultivation under irrigation of fodder crops  (ii) providing extension and supervisory services to 20,300 farm families on an area of about 14,000 ha devoted to rainfed farming  (iii) improving traditional pastures over 14,800 ha and providing advisory and supervisory services to herdsmen’s groups and assistance in improving herd management  (iv) assisting in the settling, organization and technical supervision of the beneficiaries, notably the establishment of a drinking-water system intended to serve 110,000 persons.  The aim of the Mutara agricultural development project is to reduce the food deficit through the production of rice, soybeans, milk and meat as well as traditional staples – haricot beans, sorghum and cassava. It also seeks to increase farm incomes through production diversification, and to improve living conditions. The project will also help provide drinking water. The study planned under the project – meat and milk sector feasibility study – will enable a project to be mounted that will help solve the main problems of the sector.  The project will benefit to the population of the project area, which was estimated in 1985 at 100,000 inhabitants, of whom 90% is rural. The project meets an urgent need to improve production techniques in the fragile ecological conditions of Rwanda threatened by rising population density. From the socio-economic standpoint, it will yield substantial financial resources to the rural population.

Gabon - Budget Support Programme in response to the COVID-19 (PABURC). The proposed operation is a loan of EUR 100.5 million to Gabon from the resources of the African Development Bank (AfDB) to finance the Budget Support Programme in Response to the COVID-19 Crisis (PABURC). On the epidemiological level, Gabon recorded its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on 12 March 2020. As of May 27, 2020, the total number of tests carried out was 12,060, of which 2,319 cases tested positive. Of the number of positive cases, there are 1674 active cases, 631 cases cured and 14 deaths. The country has four recently constructed hospital centres, 9 regional hospitals, 47 departmental hospitals, 34 health centres, 413 dispensaries and 157 health huts, but only has 58 intensive care beds. Faced with a high risk of community transmission and the re-emergence of infectious and parasitic communicable diseases, health facilities in Gabon are insufficient. The loan will support the country’s Budget Support Programme in Response to the COVID-19 Crisis or PABURC, which aims to strengthen the health system and mitigate the socio-economic impact of the pandemic on households and businesses. PABURC is consistent with the Bank’s recently approved COVID19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). This is a budget support to be disbursed in 2020.

Djibouti - Geothermal Exploration Project in the Lake Assal Region. The Geothermal Exploration Project in the Lake Assal Region is part of a programme aimed at improving the quality of life for Djibouti's population by increasing their access to electricity through an expansion of national energy production capacity. The present project, which is the first phase of the above-mentioned program, aims to eliminate the risks associated with exploration, thereby establishing the right environment for private sector participation. The implementation of the project should permit to prepare the feasibility study for the geothermal field, which is a prerequisite for international competitive bidding to select the Independent Power Producer (IPP). It comprises four components, namely: (A) drilling activities  (B) technical assistance  (C) project implementation  and (D) environmental and social management.  The project goal is to increase the green energy production capacity of the Republic of Djibouti to improve access to electricity for the people of Djibouti.  Generally, the main project beneficiaries are the entire population of Djibouti since the project will ultimately and substantially increase the production of reliable, clean and low-cost electricity in the country. With the subsequent reduction in energy costs, poor households will be the direct project beneficiaries.

Djibouti - Geothermal Exploration Project in the Lake Assal Region – Supplementary loan. The proposed operation involves an additional loan of UA 10.74 million to the Government of Djibouti to carry out the Geothermal Exploration Project in the Lake Assal Region on schedule and achieve its objectives. This project is part of a geothermal energy development programme that aims at improving the quality of life for Djibouti’s population by helping to: (1) increase geothermal energy production capacity (green energy)  (2) reduce oil imports  and (3) reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will be implemented in three phases: (i) Phase 1 comprises the exploration of the Lake Assal geothermal steam field and confirmation of the characteristics of the field’s geothermal resources  (ii) Phase 2 involves the development of the geothermal field and construction of a geothermal power plant with a capacity of 20 MW  and (iii) Phase 3 involves expanding the capacity of the geothermal power plant to 50 MW. However, the budget allocated for the project only covered part of the cost of drilling two wells. Indeed, during the competitive bid call for the procurement of drilling services, the budget allocated were insufficient to cover the cost of drilling four wells. The amount provided covered only part of the cost of drilling two instead of the four wells initially envisaged. The supplementary resources to be provided by the ADF will help to close the financing gap identified during project implementation and to complete the exploration phase. This operation will cover: (i) the cost of drilling the third well, including the non-funded activities of the first two wells, estimated at UA 9.65 million (USD 13.95 million)  and (ii) the cost of additional consultancy services and conduct of a feasibility study on the selection of an IPP for an estimated amount of UA 1.09 million (USD 1.58 million) to be carried out by the geothermal technical assistance firm. By providing supplementary financing, the Bank will enable the project to drill three wells instead of the four initially planned. Thus, the confirmation of the geothermal resource will facilitate the construction of a geothermal power plant in the medium term to increase the clean energy production capacity in Djibouti.  The overall objective of the geothermal energy development program is to improve the quality of life for Djibouti's population by increasing access to electricity through an expansion of the national energy production capacity. The specific project objectives are to: (i) increase the green energy generation capacity  (ii) reduce oil imports  and (iii) reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Generally, the main project beneficiaries are the entire population of Djibouti. The project will contribute to: (i) building the first geothermal power plant in Djibouti  (ii) increasing clean energy production capacity  (iii) increasing the population’s access to electricity through a more reliable and affordable source of energy  (iv) reducing oil imports by 214 000 barrels of oil annually  and (v) reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 250 000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Thus, it will contribute to improving the quality of life of Djibouti’s population by improving access to electrical energy.

Community Skills Improvement Project (Wid II). The proposed Community Skills Improvement Project is a key element in the African Development Bank’s strategy for poverty alleviation in The Gambia, and is consistent with the development objectives of the Government. It aims to reduce Poverty in The Gambia and is expected to directly benefit over 40,000 women and out-of-school youths in 250 communities in the country. As a result of the project, 21 multi purpose centres should be constructed in remote rural communities for the delivery of literacy and income generating skills training. About UA 0.6 million should be disbursed in micro finance funds to over 500 groups of learners. The rural banking sector should be strengthened through the training of 55 extension workers in micro finance monitoring. And all these inputs should contribute to the national sectoral goal of reducing poverty by about 25% in The Gambia by 2005. The components of the project are as follows: (i) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building  (ii) Functional Literacy and Income Generating Skills Training  (iii) The Skills Fund supports the delivery of financial services to the learners and (iv) Project Management.  The overall sector goal of the Government’s National Poverty Alleviation Programme, in which this project fits, is to reduce the number of people living below the poverty line in The Gambia by 25% by the year 2005. The specific objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen the capacities of the partner implementing agencies  (ii) to provide access to functional literacy and income generating skills to women (80%) and out-of-school youths  and (iii) to ensure access to micro-credit facilities.  The Project essentially targets poor women and youths, most of whom are unable to read or write in any language. The project supposes that if women can become literate, learn marketable skills and obtain credit facilities to enable them to engage in small businesses, then their standard of living will improve, as well as that of their families. It also targets out-of-school youths, mostly aged between 12 and 25 years. Like most of sub-Saharan Africa, youths in the Gambia drop out of school mainly due to poverty and to a lack of appreciation of the value of education. The children of rural illiterate parents are the least likely to value schooling, since their parents seem to get by without education.

Guinea - Rural Water Supply in Haute Guinée. The present project concerns the Rural Water Supply in Haute Guinée. It's initiated with a view to improving drinking water supply to the rural dwellers of Haute Guinée, especially in the Dabola, Faranah, Kankan, Kouroussa and Siguiri prefectures where the supply rate is currently around 45%. The project’s design lies on the involvement of local authorities and population in the management and maintenance of the rural drinking water supply structures. The project should enable the construction of home and public latrines and thus give the village beneficiaries notions of hygiene that should protect them from disease and contribute thereby to improving their living environment and health.

Social Dimension of Adjustment. ISSUE: The construction contract was awarded in June 1986, with a completion period of 24 months and supervision was awarded on 5th March 1986. The work physically commenced on 1st September 1986. The contractor was suspended in 1989 in order to allow Government investigation of the course of the failed sections of the road. The contract was eventually terminated. The project remains nearly 60% completed with UA 13.44 million disbursed. There have not been any disbursements since 9th March 1989. The Government has confirmed that the dispute between the Government and Messrs. ABU and Partners has been resolved with no legal or financial obligations to the Bank. On 18th December 1997, the Government requested Bank's approval to revise the list of works and services with a view to completing the project by utilizing the remaining UA 10.23 million. The Bank approved the Government's request on 19th April 1999, with the revised deadline for final disbursement being 31st December 2002. Since the approval of the revised list of works and services, the Government has entered into contract with a consulting firm for the design review, pre-tender activities and supervision of works. The draft tender documents are currently being reviewed by the Bank. However, the pre-qualifying contractors is completed. However, the Government has been very slow in implementing the project. ACTION: The Government should speed up the procurement process. The Bank's mission that is scheduled for early March will conclude the review of the tender Documents with the Government.

Gambia - The Poverty Reduction Budget Support Program. The main development objectives of the proposed grant are to: (i) promote efficiency, transparency and accountability in the use of public resources through effective budget planning and auditing and increased revenue mobilization  and (ii) build public sector capacity through civil service reforms.  The strengthening of public financial management will enhance efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of public investments, thus enhancing their economic impact.

The Gambia - Economic and Financial Governance Operation (EFIGO) – Phase I. Management submits the following report and recommendation on a proposed grant to
the Government of The Gambia for UA 1.88 million to finance the Economic and Financial
Governance Operation phase I (EFIGO-I). The latter will be the Bank’s second general
budget support operation and is designed a multi-year operation. It is supporting the
implementation of a multi-year reform programme with one tranche, to fund The Gambia’s
national budget of 2012. A subsequent operation will be presented to the Board in 2013, to
continue supporting the reform program and fund the national budget of 2013. The operation is in response to a request from the Government, dated 31 January 2012, to support the economic reform program, consolidating the gains from the previous budget support operation, and to mitigate the impact of the country’s unanticipated drought-related 2012 fiscal crisis.  The EFIGO’s development objective is to contribute to the promotion of economic growth by enhancing efficiency in the management of Government resources. It thereby aims to help the Government continue its efforts in lowering the fiscal deficit and reducing reliance on public debt. The operation focuses on limited but carefully chosen measures, 2 given the relatively small amounts available for the program. The main expected outcome of the EFIGO is improved fiscal discipline and increased resource mobilization by strengthening transparency and accountability in public financial management (PFM). The latter areas will also indirectly contribute to an improved environment for private sector activities.  The EFIGO is designed to assist Government in implementing PAGE, therefore the direct beneficiaries are Government departments, in which the technical and operational capacity of officials will be strengthened throughout the implementation of the reforms. However, the end or indirect beneficiary is the population of The Gambia. In a context where the Government has unanticipated financing needs because of the drought, the financial resources from the ADF grant would help in reducing the fiscal burden while safe-guarding pro-poor spending and improving budget transparency by facilitating the incorporation of additional spending into the budget. Further, the fiscal space generated through the accompanying improved expenditure control will allow for greater spending oriented towards achieving the MDGs, especially in health and education. The programme will also indirectly impact the private sector through actions taken to improve the procurement processes.

Guinea - Guinea Bauxite Company Rehabilitation Project (GBC).

Les principaux objectifs du présent prêt de réhabilitation sectorielle sont les suivants :   i)  Encourager le gouvernement gambien et l'assister dans son programme de redressement économique pour la période 1985-1989. Ce programme définit le cadre d'une politique sectorielle macro-économique à moyen terme et prévoit un ensemble de réformes immédiates de grande envergure devant restaurer l'équilibre financier et jeter les bases nécessaires pour une reprise économique soutenue.  ii) Fournir au gouvernement gambien des fonds rapidement décaissables destinés à soutenir la balance des paiements afin de permettre aux secteurs privé et public d'importer les facteurs de production essentiels et les produits de base au cours des 15 prochains mois. Les activités économiques pourraient ainsi se poursuivre sans aucune interruption et se développer parallèlement à la mise en place des réformes. Cependant, les ressources ne seront disponibles qu'à la condition que les nombreuses réformes nécessaires soient mises en oeuvre.

Gambia - Institutional Support for Economic and Financial Governance II Project (ISEFG II). The Institutional Support for Economic and Financial Governance II Project (ISEFG II project) falls within the Bank’s framework of assistance to the Government of the Gambia (GOTG). The objective of this three-year project (2012-2014) is to contribute to strengthening capacities in key public institutions engaged in economic management and governance. The project aims to address human and institutional capacity constraints and weaknesses in public financial management. The GOTG has made significant progress in many areas of PFM, including the implementation of an integrated financial management information system (IFMIS) and the clearance of a significant backlog of financial statements and corresponding audits. But significant challenges remain, including an increasing budget deficit (caused mainly by very high levels of debt and extra budgetary spending), and continued lack of human capacity in critical areas of PFM. The project has two outcomes: (i) improved macroeconomic policy analysis and debt management and (ii) greater scrutiny, transparency and accountability for the use of public funds.  The project objective is to contribute to strengthening capacities in PFM institutions (i.e. macro and audit) engaged in economic management and governance.  The direct beneficiaries of this project will be the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, the National Audit Office, the Finance and Public Accounts Committee. Within the MOFEA, beneficiaries will include the Directorate of Loans and Debt Management, Directorate of Macro Economic and Policy Analysis, Internal Audit Unit, the PFM Reform Unit and the Project Coordination Unit. In order for the GOTG to fully benefit from the professional and academic training programs designed in the project, these training programs for all project beneficiaries will mainly target staff that are 35 years of age and younger.

The Gambia - Institutional Support for Economic and Financial Governance Phase III Project. The Institutional Support for Economic and Financial Governance Phase III Project (ISEFG III) is designed to strengthen the capacities of key public institutions engaged in public financial management. The project will help consolidating the gains from the previous two phases (ISEFG I & II) and address the new emerging challenges. The project aims to promote inclusive growth and macro-economic stability by enhancing domestic resource mobilization and reinforcing fiscal discipline through improved transparency, efficiency, and effectiveness of resource allocation and execution in line with pro-poor policies. It is anchored around the recommendations from the 2014 PEFA (Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability) and the priorities of the Public Financial Management Reforms Comprehensive Strategy (2012-2016). In the short run, the expected project outcomes are: (i) enhanced domestic resources mobilization  and (ii) greater strategic allocation, expenditures control, transparency, and scrutiny of government budget. In the long run, this will strengthen and leverage the impact of the national budget on delivery of services, and poverty reduction more broadly.  The overarching goal of the project is to promote inclusive growth and macroeconomic stability by enhancing financial governance through improved domestic resources mobilization and a more effective public financial management system.  The direct beneficiaries of this project will be the Gambia Revenue Authority, Gambia Public Procurement Authority, Women’s bureau, Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs, National Audit Office, and the Finance and Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly. The private sector including women entrepreneurs will be indirect beneficiaries through the establishment of the Gambia Institute of Chartered Accountants and the effectiveness of the tax and customs administration. Indirect beneficiaries will also include broader population of The Gambia through improved allocation, execution and scrutiny of public expenditures which should help to ensure that public resources are allocated to, and used in the delivery of relevant, efficient and effective public services.

Gambia - Rice Value Chain Transformation Programme (RVCP). The Rice Value Chain Transformation Programme (RVCP) is an investment operation financed with ADF grant with an initial phase which aims to up-scale production, productivity, value addition and reducing imports of rice in Gambia. The project will provide opportunities to capitalize on the Bank’s experience leveraging the private sector in agricultural value chains and on the experience of past projects (Multi NERICA Rice Dissemination Project and Livestock and Horticulture Development Project-LHDP) and ongoing operations such as the Food and Agriculture Sector Project (FASDEP) and the Agricultural Value Development Project (AVCDP). The RVCP will make use of opportunities (existence of markets, rice processing plants, prepared land (developed under the FASDEP) to increase the production and productivity of rice within the rice consolidated regions. It will rationalize the existing various rice varieties in the Country to promote 2 rice quality seed varieties producing mechanism under the NERICA project while mitigating potential risks along the rice value chain in the context of the Vision 2020 agenda. The Project has 3 components: (1) Production and Productivity Enhancement, (2) Agribusiness, Market and Capacity Development, and (3) Project Management. The first phase will be implemented over a period of five –years (2019-2023) with interventions predominantly in the Central River Region (CRR North and South) and the Upper River Region (URR), nonetheless, some value addition activities (processing, packaging and distribution) will be undertaken in other regions of the country, where such facilities exist. Subsequent phases will build on lessons learnt from the first phase and will utilize the interventions from the Islamic development Bank, from the country’s ADF 15 allocation.  The project will contribute to poverty reduction and enhance economic growth in The Gambia through improved production, processing and marketing of the rice as well as reducing high importation of rice into the country. Specifically, the project will develop the commercialization of the rice subsector by enhancing private sector and other stakeholder’s participation in the value chain, thereby improving incomes and employment opportunities for all stakeholders, especially youths and women.  The total direct beneficiaries of the project will be about 15,000 households out of which about 40% will be youth and women. With an average of 8 persons per household this would result in improved livelihoods for about 120,000 people indirectly. The project beneficiaries will include farmers, processors, seed producers, input dealers, aggregators, private sector operators transporters, commercial agents (e.g. out growers, millers, etc.), 500 youths, women and children within the first 1,000 days period of opportunity (from conception to the child’s age of 2 years) to reduce stunting, and other local actors engaged in activities within project impact areas. The three regions correspond with the Local Government Areas of Kuntaur, Basse and Janjanbureh, which are the areas with the highest prevalence of both wasting and stunting. The public institutions such as National Agricultural Research Institute, Department of Agriculture the National Seeds Secretariat, Regional Directorates of Ministry of Agriculture and other relevant Directorates in the project areas will also actively participate within the project activities based on their core mandates and also benefit from the project interventions in terms of capacity building.

Gambia - Multi-country Covid-19 crisis response support programme (Liberia, Gambia and Sierra Leone). The proposed intervention focuses on the Gambia component of the Multi-Country COVID19 Crisis Response Support Programme (MCCRSP) in The Gambia, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The MCCRSP is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) under the COVID-19 Crisis Response Facility (CRF). It seeks to contribute to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigate its impact in the GLS countries. This is a multi-country ADF grant totalling UA 38.15 million comprising: (i) an ADF Grant of UA 5 million and a TSF Pillar I Grant of UA 5 million to the Republic of The Gambia  (ii) an ADF Grant of UA 3.14 million and a TSF Pillar I Grant of UA 7.01 million to the Republic of Liberia  and (iii) an ADF Grant of UA 9 million and a TSF Pillar I Grant of UA 9 million to the Republic of Sierra Leone. The three countries have been combined into one group to ensure efficiency in processing of the CRBS to ADF-eligible countries under the Regional Delivery Coordination Office for West Africa (RDGW). Indeed, the countries have similar characteristics and needs in dealing with the pandemic. Their health sectors are constrained due to human and infrastructural bottlenecks. Upon declaration of first cases of COVID-19 on March 11th, 16th and 31st, 2020 in The Gambia, Liberia and Sierra Leone, respectively, the countries took urgent steps to put in place contingency plans to prevent and contain the virus. However, infection cases have been on the rise across the countries. As of June 29th, there were 45 confirmed cases in The Gambia  768 cases in Liberia  and 1,427 cases in Sierra Leone. The proposed operation will help to contain the spread of COVID in order to facilitate the lifting of lockdown measures and enable economic recovery process to start. It seeks to contribute to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigate its impact in The Gambia.  The Programme seeks to contribute to the rapid response to COVID-19 with a view to containing the spread of the pandemic, alleviate suffering of the vulnerable, and enhance economic resilience. Its operational policy objectives are to: (a) strengthen Government’s capacity to contain COVID-19  (b) expand social protection to vulnerable groups  and (c) contribute to the countries’ economic resilience and public accountability.  The direct beneficiaries of social protection programme will include: targeted vulnerable female-headed households including orphans, and school-going children. The business community especially targeted MSMEs will benefit economic resilience support. Indirect beneficiaries include the population at large who will be cushioned against the effects of the pandemic and benefit through improved macro environment, fiscal transparency, and accountability.

Gambia - Additional Financing to the Rice Value AEFPF Project. The proposed operation is a Transition Support Facility (TSF) grant of UA 2.5 million as Additional Financing for the Rice Value Chain Transformation Programme (RVCP) in The Gambia. This project is designed as an additional financing emergency support to the on-going Bank-financed project Rice value Chain Transformation Project with the main aim of scaling up the RVCTP Component 1- Production and Productivity enhancement, in addition to complementary reforms components to avert the looming food crisis as a result of the conflict and build the resilience within the national food system to reduce its reliance of imports. The main concern for the Government of The Gambia is to ensure access to affordable and good quality inputs for smallholder farmers for the 2022/2023 cropping season. Therefore, building on the structure of the RVCP Component 1- Production and Productivity Enhancement, the additional financing – the Gambia African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) will focus on i) the provision of subsidised fertilizer input using the RVCP platform, ii) enhancing the farmer registration database/platform to promote delivery of smart subsidies and enhance extension services for farmers, and iii) strengthen agriculture policy reforms within the fertilizer subsector.  The purpose of the additional financing under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) which will be known as the Gambia AEFPF, is to reduce the impact of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict on food production and nutritional security in the Gambia. Its objective is to increase food production, to avert food crisis and build the resilience of value chain actions for future shocks. It will be achieved through the provision of fertilizer and certified climate smart seeds of groundnuts, to registered smallholder farmers, with an average production of 0.5ha. The Ministry of Agriculture will also be supported to enhance the capacity of RVCP database of registered input beneficiary farmers, agro-dealers along with limited support for targeted extension services and a carefully identified policy-based studies that will guide to shape the fertilizer policy and legal environment for the future of subsidy provision in the country.  The target population is 20,000 smallholder farmers (of which 40% are women and 20% are youth) across the entire country. This is the expansion of the RVCP database targeting smallholder farmers that will access the subsidized inputs through the database. The targeted beneficiaries are not limited to rice farmers, they will include maize, legumes (groundnut), millet and sorghum. Thus, the AEFPF project is targeting men and women farmers across the country that can access the subsidized inputs and farmers that have been supported by the WB-GIRAV project of 750Mt of certified seeds.

Gambia - Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (GAMIRSAL) Establishment Project. Access to finance is one of the most important challenges hampering the progress of agricultural development in the Gambia. Most  of the  population in  the  agricultural  sector can only access to  the informal financing, which probes not to  be sustainable,  and  much  less  capable  of addressing all the needs of agribusinesses .So far, the technical and financial partners’ interventions to enhance access to finance  remained mainly in  the  form  of  matching grant, which isa one-off  grant,  and  therefore  not  a sustainable source of financing.8.The rationale for the Bank’s involvement in the proposed project rests on its alignment with the current top priority  areas  of  intervention  of both  the Bank  and The Gambia, as outlined  above. The GAMIRSAL Establishment Project would address a number of market failures, including: i) difficulties for actors  along  the agriculture  value  chains  to  access  suitable  financial  services  and  products,  due  to lack of satisfactory collaterals and risk mitigating instruments as well as prohibitive borrowing cost  ii) reluctance  of  FIs  to  finance  agriculture  despite their  high  liquidity, due to  their  lack  of  knowledge  of the agricultural sector, the agriculture perceived and inherent risks including climate risks and the lack of  agriculture  tailor-made  financial  products   iii)  limited  capacity  of  actors  along  agriculture  value chains to develop bankable business plans and efficiently manage credit and climate change risk. Also, the project fits well into the new policy paradigm for agricultural development promoted by the Bank and the Government, which  aims  at  transforming  agriculture, through the  Gambia  Agriculture Transformation Program.  The project development objective is to increase access to lending from Financial Institutions (FIs) to actors in agricultural value chains. The project specific objectives are : i) increase access of FIs to risk mitigating instruments to crowd in investments in the agricultural sector  ii) improve FIs' knowledge of the agricultural sector and skills in analysing, financing, and managing agricultural project portfolios, including climate risk mainstreaming in investment portfolio  and iii) improve skills of agriculture value chains' actors in business governance (enterprise governance structure, board structuring and oversight, ownership structure, etc.), financial and credit risk management, climate risk management, as well as reporting. The achievement of these objectives will enable project end beneficiaries gain access to fit-for-purpose financing to increase productivity, generate greater added value and build resilience to climate change. At the national level, this will facilitate agricultural growth, increased exports, greater value addition, as well as improved food and nutrition security.  The project will intervene in all regions of the country, although concentration is expected to be in the Greater Banjul Area (GBA) where  most  of  the  commercial  banks  are  currently  located. The project  is expected  to  benefit  5,000  direct  beneficiaries  and  20,000  indirect  beneficiaries(50  per  cent women and   youth).Intermediary   beneficiaries consist of commercial   banks   and microfinance institutions(MFIs),  training centres  and  consultancy firms. All legally registered  and  authorized commercial banks and MFIs can benefit from the incentives provided by the project’s de-risking tools and technical support to increase their financing to the agricultural sector.

The Gambia - Banjul Port 4th Expansion Project. This Project is a 5-year phased capital expenditure programme under a broader 20-year Port Master Plan. The Banjul Port 2nd and 3rd expansion projects were successfully implemented with an on-lending financing support from the World Bank and the AfDB. Previous initiatives funded by the Bank were focused on infrastructure upgrades. Key lessons learnt from the 2nd and 3rd expansion initiatives compared to the current was the need to undertake a holistic process incorporating both hard and soft infrastructure trade facilitation improvements in order to sustainably transform the port environment by complementing infrastructure upgrades with necessary tools to ensure productivity improvements. The proposed Banjul expansion and modernization project will also serve as a catalyst for strengthening The Gambia’s position as a major trade and transport corridor hub within the Atlantic Trade Hub with an estimated population of about 400 million. The total cost of the Project excluding taxes and customs, but including physical contingencies and financial contingencies, amount to UA 94.12 million equivalent to US$ 129.02 million.  The overall project objective is to enhance The Gambia’s regional competitiveness and ensure climate resilience of the Port of Banjul. The specific development objectives of the Banjul port 4th expansion project are to: i) reduce the ship waiting time, avoid costly congestion, surcharges, facilitate reduction in sea freight costs and demurrage payments  ii) provide additional capacity to meet the present and future forecast levels of traffic requirements including container traffic  iii) improve port efficiency, operations and management by renewed and digitalized procedures and computerization  iv) facilitate improved traffic flow in and around the access roads leading to the port and make the road climate-resilient  and v) maintain cost-effective and reliable ferry services by introducing green and low emitting ferries. It is also expected that the Project will greatly strengthen the financial position of the GPA and the GFS.  The Port of Banjul though located in The Gambia is a key gateway to the greater West African region, serving a wide hinterland consisting of The Gambia, Mali, Guinea Bissau, and Guinea Conakry. The overall beneficiaries of the proposed port expansion and modernisation are diverse and include the people and the Government of The Gambia as well as that of the regionally connected countries within the ECOWAS sub region. Trade, shipping lines and logistics industries, consumers and exporters at the national, regional, and international levels are some of the potential direct beneficiaries. Other Government agencies including GRA are major players and beneficiaries of Banjul’s ports operating environment. Indirect beneficiaries are bound to be cross cutting and cover all aspects of economic activities within The Gambia and beyond as the transformed port is bound to provide through its natural strategic position leverage opportunities linking West Africa, Europe, and the America’s.

Guinea - Conakry Water Supply Improvement and Extension Project (Supplement 1). The Guinea - Conakry Water Supply Improvement and Extension Project (Supplement 1) was approved in March 1976 and completed in April 1976.

Guinea - Study on Institutional Support for the National Water Point Management Service. The Institutional Support Study for the National Water Points Service (SNAPE) responds to the will of the Guinean authorities and the main donors of the PNAEPA to make effective the implementation of the provisions provided for in the decree on the reorganization of the SNAPE. It falls within the framework of Guinea's third Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP III) for the period 2012-2015, particularly its first pillar focusing on "governance and institutional and human capacity building". The study is structured around two components, namely (i) the development of a project to reorganize SNAPE based on an assessment of its tasks and institutional capacity and, finally, the development of an optimal organizational chart  and (ii) the proposal of a framework for consultation of WATSAN sector stakeholders in line with the new strategy for the development of the public water service. It will be carried out in three phases, each of which will end with the drafting of a report and the holding of a workshop, i.e. (i) an inventory of the sector, the current institutional capacity and the new prerogatives of SNAPE  (ii) the definition of an optimal SNAPE organization chart with the elaboration of job description sheets, a proposal for the assignment of current staff and a short- and medium-term training plan, and a provisional report on the implementation of the reorganization  and (iii) the identification of synergies between ongoing initiatives and the proposal of the mode of operation and content of the manual of procedure to be imposed on all actors involved in the sector. The implementation of its recommendations should enable the SNAPE to accomplish its mission of support-advice to the communes in terms of access to drinking water in accordance with the decentralization policy, the SNDSPE and the PNAEPA, while guaranteeing its financial viability. The study will be carried out by SNAPE with the support of a consultancy firm over a period of 8 months, from April to November 2014. The estimated pre-tax cost of the study is UA 395,711.  At the sectoral level, the study aims to improve the governance of the sector in order to contribute to improving the rate of access to drinking water and sanitation in rural and semi-urban areas. The specific objective of the study is to lay the foundations for the operationalization of the SNAPE through : (i) developing and proposing a project for reorganizing the SNAPE  and (ii) proposing consultation frameworks for stakeholders in the WATSAN sector in rural and semi-urban areas.  The project will directly benefit the Service National des Points d'Eau (SNAPE).

The Gambia - The Gambia Electricity System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project (GESREP). The Gambia Electricity Grid Rehabilitation and Extension Project (GESREP) aims to improve access to electricity and ensure reliability of electricity supply. The project will provide last-mile connection equipment, including prepaid meters, and allow poor households to connect and manage their own consumption without the risk of physical disconnection that could occur due to unpaid monthly bills. Strengthening the distribution network under the proposed project will increase productivity, stimulate economic growth and contribute to The Gambia's efforts to achieve universal access to electricity. The project will also contribute to strengthening the capacity of the National Electricity and Water Company (NAWEC) in the operation and maintenance of electrical installations. The proposed project finances three (03) main components: firstly, it will finance the construction of two (2) new 33/11kV substations, the upgrading, rehabilitation and reinforcement of two (2) 33/11kV substations  the rehabilitation and upgrading of low voltage distribution lines (140km) as well as the installation of 10 compact 11/0.4kV substations and 100 distribution transformers in the Banjul metropolitan area.  The overall sectoral objective of the project is to increase access to the electricity network in The Gambia. Its specific objectives are: i) to provide the population with reliable, low-carbon electricity, ii) to increase NAWEC's billing and revenue collection capacity, iii) to strengthen institutions and iv) to ensure the efficient operation and maintenance of electrical installations.  Overall, the project is expected to benefit around 100,000 people, 65% of whom will be women and children. Small and medium-sized enterprises, public institutions (local governments, primary and secondary schools and health centres) in the Greater Banjul Area (GBA) will benefit from the project. The overall beneficiaries are current and future electricity consumers, including grid-connected households as well as businesses, public institutions (local government, primary and secondary schools, universities and health clinics) that will benefit from improved electricity services. The beneficiaries are households connected to the grid, particularly women, whose household chores will be reduced.

Gambia - Vulnerable Youth and Women Support Project. The Vulnerable Youth and Women Support Project (VYWOSP) is in line with the 2021-2025 Country Strategy Paper (CSP). The project aims to promote the economic and social inclusion of the most vulnerable sections of the population, by building their capacities and productivity to enable them to take advantage of the economic opportunities offered by agricultural value chains, and to play a full part in the country's economic transformation. The project is needed to reduce the level of vulnerability of the Gambian population, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will adopt a comprehensive approach to address the multidimensional aspects of vulnerability and poverty. It will also help to reduce gender inequalities, by providing better economic and social opportunities for girls and women, and by reducing the social expectations of young men as providers of household resources. In addition, the project will contribute to strengthening the country's resilience by addressing some of the main factors of fragility. The project has three (3) components, namely: (i) support for young people and women's empowerment for equitable access to jobs and livelihoods, (ii) support for improved and inclusive access to basic social services and (iii) project management.  The project development objective is to promote livelihoods and access to basic social services (health, nutrition, social protection, and education services) for people in rural areas, especially out-of-school youth and women. Overall, the project will: (i) Create jobs and improve the quality of jobs and livelihood for vulnerable women and out-of-school youth in rural areas  and (ii) Improve the use and access to better and inclusive basic social services.  The main beneficiaries of the economic empowerment component are vulnerable youth and women (about 2,000 direct beneficiaries and 1,000 TVET students every year). Both male and female out-of-school youth and returning migrants will be specifically targeted. As for women, the criteria will be defined to ensure that those in vulnerable situations are prioritised by the project. The main beneficiaries of the component on access to basic social services are all the populations in the covered LGAs (children, youth, women, and men), as the component will include rehabilitation and equipment of health centres and gender transformative social behavioural change activities. The project will reach directly at least 82,221 people of whom at least 50% are expected to be women in the three Local Government Areas (LGAs).

Zimbabwe - Regional African Trade Insurance Country Membership Programme (ATI-RACMP). The proposed operation concerns a Grant in the amount of UA 2,080,000 from ADF 13 (TSF/Pillar III) to strengthen the capacity of Zimbabwe with the necessary financial resources for membership subscription in African Trade Insurance Agency (ATI). By providing financial resources for Zimbabwe to subscribe for membership in ATI, the project will support delivery of an integrated and enhanced trade finance facilitation and investment risk underwriting framework for the private sector. In addition, the capacity of Zimbabwe to attract investment resources on the back of an improved political and credit risk environment that ATI’s operations will facilitate will be bolstered. This will complement the ongoing in-country initiatives to improve the investment climate through the implementation of institutional and legislative reforms aimed at reducing the cost of doing business. Furthermore, this would complement the Bank’s ongoing support on mobilizing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into critical infrastructure  public debt and arrears clearance  as well as the liquidity crunch adversely impacting the economy. The project is due to be implemented over 13 months.  The main objective of the proposed intervention is to assist Zimbabwe with the required resources for its ATI membership subscription. The government of Zimbabwe has prioritized becoming a member of the ATI during the course of 2016. Joining ATI would promote private sector led development as this will allow greater underwritten insurance cover for the country’s private sector. ATI would bring to Zimbabwe increased cross-border activity  increase capacity of insurance particularly of political risks  broader financial services and facilitate inflows of FDI which has been undermined by negative perceptions of risks, mostly driven by political considerations.  The immediate beneficiaries of the Programme will be the ATI and the Government of Zimbabwe. The private sector in Zimbabwe will be the ultimate but indirect beneficiaries. The government has considered that the following benefits accruing from such membership would rank higher than other considerations particularly in light of the country’s socio-economic and political circumstances. The indirect benefits will no doubt accrue to both large corporates and small to medium enterprises that are venturing into the export markets.

Zimbabwe - Urgent water supply and sanitation rehabilitation project – Phase 2 – additional financing. The proposed operation aims to use the proceeds from the investment of ZimFund resources, totalling USD 1,787,000 for the additional financing of Phase 2 of the Zimbabwe Water Supply and Sanitation Emergency Rehabilitation Project (UWSSRP). The first UWSSRP was approved in April 2011 and its execution was completed in June 2015. The project was being implemented in six urban centres (Harare, Chitungwiza, Mutare, Masvingo, Kwekwe, and Chegutu). The objective of the project was to resuscitate and restore the capacities of the water and wastewater treatment facilities. It was necessary to design a follow up project to further the benefits and consolidate the gains from the original Phase I project by a shift in focus towards strengthening the network and sustained institutional support. In this regard, the UWSSRP phase II was designed with a focus in Harare, Chitungwiza, Ruwa and Redcliff. The main project objective did not change and was to provide support for improving water and sewerage network reticulation performance and improving non-revenue water (NRW), strengthening commercial aspect, enhancing service delivery efficiency in the beneficiary municipalities and improving sustainability. During the project evaluation of UWSSRPI phase I, it was observed that some results and outcomes were not achieved in the beneficiary municipalities of Chitungwiza, Mutare, Masvingo, Kwekwe and Chegutu because some additional works became necessary during project implementation mainly caused by further deterioration in the infrastructure. As such it was deemed necessary to utilize any savings, interest and earnings from investments to address these gaps under the consolidation works project. The present operation consists in financing the activities "Chitungwiza sewerage collectors and ancillary works" of the UWSSRP Phase II. In other words, it involves the rehabilitation of some sewer collectors and outfalls in Chitungwiza in order to improve the drainage of wastewater from residential areas to the Zengeza wastewater treatment plant.  The objective of the project is to improve the gains of the UWSSRP project in resuscitating and regaining the capacities of the wastewater collection, disposal and treatment facilities, restoring and stabilizing service delivery through strengthening the sewage reticulation networks and giving sustained institutional support to the Municipality of Chitungwiza.  The main beneficiaries are the people of Chitungwiza municipality.

The target population is the private sector actors given the project objective of contributing to enterprise competitiveness. Benefits will accrue to private investors (local and foreign), especially SME operators and microfinance institutions. The population at large will also benefit since a more competitive business environment will foster greater efficiency, growth and poverty reduction.

Rwanda - The Support to Policy and Strategy Development Project (SPSD). The Support for Policy and Strategy Development Project (SPSD) is part of the overall context of the support for Rwanda’s efforts to improve economic performance and competitiveness. It's programmed in the Bank’s Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Rwanda covering the period 2008-2011. This project is conceived as an autonomous institutional support intervention aimed at strengthening the country's strategic leadership capacity and developing a robust framework for sound policy development. This support should leverage key initiatives deriving from the National Leadership Retreat and Presidential Advisory Council, with a view to catalyzing strategic actions to enhance competitiveness. It should also support capacity building for policy analysis and oversight at the Strategic Policy Unit (SPU) level, the Presidential Office and Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR), an independent research institution. The project comprises three (03) components, namely: (i) support to strategy and Policy Unit  (ii) support to Institute of Policy Analysis and Research  as well as (iii) project coordination.  The development objective is to contribute to improved competitiveness through an efficient and effective public sector while the specific objective of the project is to improve strategic leadership capability in Rwanda.  The primary beneficiaries of the project are the senior policy makers and professional staff of the Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU) and the Institute for Policy Analysis of Rwanda (IPAR). Investors should also benefit from transparent and well coordinated government policies and good governance practices.

Rwanda - Scaling-Up Energy Access Project (SEAP). The present support covers the additional financing of the Electricity Access Improvement Project (SEAP) in Rwanda. SAEP is part of the government of Rwanda (GoR)’s program to expand access to electricity and is a standalone project that will be financed through a loan and grant from the ADF. The project will extend the national grid through 464 km of medium voltage (MV) and 710 km of low-voltage (LV) networks to connect new households and priority institutions along the constructed distribution network areas. It will also upgrade and rehabilitate two existing substations in Northern Province, the Gifurwe substation to 10MVA capacity and the Rulindo substation (also to be relocated) to 20MVA capacity. The upgrading and rehabilitation of Gifurwe and Rulindo substations will enhance the reliability and quality of supply of power to distribution networks and support expansion of electricity access. The project will ultimately improve the well-being, living conditions, and diversification of income-generating activities of the population and contribute to promoting sustainable economic growth and reducing poverty in Rwanda. It is expected to be implemented over a period of 24 months.  The project’s development objectives are to support improvement of access to reliable and cost effective electricity services for households and priority public institutions, sustain the reliability of electricity supply in Rwanda and strengthen the institutional capacity of key sector players in the project. The expected outcomes are (i) improved access to electricity for households and priority public institutions in the proposed project area and (ii) sustained reliable electricity supply.  The key project beneficiaries will be an estimated 25,438 rural households living in both Northern Province (Rulindo and Gicumbi districts) and Western Province (Ngororero, Rusizi, Nyamasheke, Nyabihu and Karongi districts), representing around 127,000 people. In addition, public infrastructure will be significantly improved, as the project will provide access to modern, reliable energy to 179 schools, 29 health centers, and 25 sector administration offices. Finally, markets, business centers, and other major consumers will be given priority in the routing as per the program design. It is therefore expected that smallscale businesses and the few large commercial and industrial clients located in the area will benefit from the program.

Rwanda - National water supply and sanitation master plans. National Integrated Water Supply and Sanitation Masterplans development follows the need to preserve gains and best practices in the national water and sanitation programs. The project is consistent with related national strategies in Rwanda and will allow  Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC) to prioritize investments in water supply and sanitation to maximise effect and efficiency. Its outputs will allow Government of Rwanda to attract funds for sustainable infrastructure investments, which will ultimately help to achieve the projects impact. The projetc consists of three (3) project components as follows: Component 1 deals with the Development of the National Water Supply and Sanitation investment plans for a 10 year horizon, and the preparation of feasibility and detailed designs for small selected prioritised projects.

The project, aims to address the financing gap that tech-enabled companies face at different growth stages in Rwanda and in the wider East African region. In order to address the financing gap, the project will establish affordable funding mechanisms for growth companies. To achieve this, the project will provide equity financing for Tech Enabled Small and Medium-size Enterprises (SME’s), train techoriented entrepreneurs in business planning and management, and increase awareness and sensitization with respect to intellectual property rights. It will also provide TA to support capacity building for business development expert and provide finance for the development of a deal pipeline, which will involve working with entrepreneurs to develop their businesses to a point where the Innovation Fund might support them. The total estimated cost of the project is USD 68.6 million (UA 48.65 million).  The main objective of the RIF project is to contribute to the innovation economy in Rwanda and the East African Community (EAC) region. The specific objective is to establish an investment vehicle focused on funding Tech-Enabled SME’s and to develop the country’s entrepreneurial/innovation ecosystem capacity.  The Fund is expected to support one hundred and fifty (150) companies at various stages of growth, invest in about twenty (20) early growth stage opportunities, and create roughly two thousand (2000) direct jobs and an estimated six thousand (6,000) indirect jobs throughout its lifecycle (ten (10) years + two (2) years). The Technical Assistance Pool (entrepreneurial ecosystem capacity) will provide capacity building to a range of seven (7) to ten (10) incubators and accelerators, facilitate three (3) – five (5) additional angel networks, and train approximately thirty thousand (30,000) entrepreneurs across the region.

Rwanda - Muvumba Multipurpose Water Resources Development Program. The proposed operation supports a standalone Multipurpose Water Resources Development program and is aligned to the Government of the Republic of Rwanda (GoR)’s development agenda and envisaged economic transformation as outlined in Vision 2050 and the NST-1. The first set of activities under the program are the construction of the dam including installation of the hydropower plant and preparatory studies for downstream investments for irrigation and livestock use. The proposed dam is located on the river Muvumba in Rwanda near the Nyagatare Town. The River arises in Uganda joins the Kagitumba River downstream, which in turn flows into the Kagera River. The program will improve natural resources and environmental management and empower people in the district through land management and capacity development on alternative livelihood. It is expected to be implemented over 70 months starting in January 2021. The Cost of the first set of activities under the program to be financed by the Bank and counterpart contribution from the GoR is EUR 124.190 million net of tax and duties.  The objective of the program is to improve water, energy, food and nutrition security by harnessing water resources for irrigation, domestic, livestock use and hydropower generation, while ensuring sustainability of the resources and building resilience against climate change and variability.  The initial set of activities under the program only relates to dam construction with the embedded hydropower plant (installed capacity of 740 kW and annual power generation estimated at 5,719 MWh), for which there are no direct beneficiaries. The initial stage of the program also involves the detailed design of the irrigation and livestock water use project, while the government is in parallel undertaking detailed designs for the water and sanitation project. Both these uses will be served by the storage dam. When the subsequent investments are implemented, the direct beneficiaries include the population of Nyagatare (estimated at 560,000 people).Benefits will be derived from: (i) irrigation development for a command area estimated at 7,380ha covering Tabagwe, Gatunda, Karama, Rukomo, Nyagatare, Rwempasha, Musheri and Rwimiyaga sectors  and(ii) municipal water supply estimated at 24,000m3/day for 300,000 people in Karangazi, Rwimiyaga and Nyagatare sectors in addition to livestock use. Estimated direct employment from the irrigation component would be 37,000 people, while indirect employment would be estimated at 30,000 people.

Rwanda - Covid-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program (RCRBS). The proposed Covid-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program (CPRBS) is an initiative involving an African Development Fund loan of UA 71 million to the Republic of Rwanda from the country’s ADF-15 Performance Based Allocation. This Crisis response budget support operation is provided in accordance with the Bank Group’s COVID-19 Response Facility (CRF) and is in response to a request for support received from the Rwandan Government dated April 10, 2020. Indeed, as at 10th June 2020, Rwanda had recorded a total of 476 cases of COVID-19 with 2 fatalities and 307 recoveries. GoR’s immediate response to the pandemic has been swift and decisive, with the announcement of a number of directives ranging from social distancing, suspension of domestic and international travel, teleworking, closure of all learning institutions and the total lockdown of the country on 21 March 2020. On the 4th of May 2020, the Government announced a partial opening of the country, with a curfew between 9pm and 5am. Subsequent measures towards the reopening of the country have focused on mass screening and testing, mandatory wearing of masks in public, continued social distancing and hand hygiene and the use of electronic payments and online services, among other measures. The containment measures have limited the spread of the virus but has also resulted in reduced productivity of the economy and reduced fiscal space to provide relief and promote economic recovery. The purpose of the operation is to support the Government of Rwanda’s (GoR) Coronavirus 2019 National Preparedness and Response Plan (NPRP) and Economic Recovery Plan (ERP) May 2020 to December 2021, which outlines measures to contain COVID-19  mitigate the economic and social impacts of the pandemic on local businesses and vulnerable households  and contribute to the mitigation of macroeconomic risks. The operation consists of three broad mutually reinforcing components namely: (i) Strengthen the health system to contain COVID-19 spread  (ii) Safeguard economic resilience against COVID-19 shocks and (iii) Mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the vulnerable, through expanding social protection coverage. Containment of the spread of COVID19 will enable businesses reopen and move forward on economic recovery trajectory. While expanding social protection will enable protection of assets and prevent vulnerable persons sliding into poverty.  The goal of the program is to support the GoR’s efforts to respond to COVID-19 and mitigate its economic and social impacts on local businesses and households, particularly the poor. Consistent with the GoR’s plan to address the crisis, the operational policy objectives of the program will support the implementation of the Coronavirus Disease, 2019 National Preparedness and Response Plan (NPRP) and the Economic Recovery Plan (ERP). The expected outcomes of the program are: (i) enhanced capacity of public health system to contain COVID-19  (ii) vulnerable households’ livelihood protected and (iii) risk to macroeconomic stability minimized and private sector’s resilience enhanced.  The proposed operation will benefit Rwandan citizens who will benefit from improved basic health service delivery and social protection interventions. The direct beneficiaries are vulnerable workers in the informal sectors including women, public works programme beneficiaries (over 56% women), private and financial sector actors  and farmers. Moreover, the program will also benefit MSMEs including those that are female owned. As a Category II program on the Gender Marker System, the program will safeguard the livelihoods of vulnerable men and women through gender inclusive social protection programs and COVID-19 relief schemes.

Sudan - Enable Youth Program - Project II. The proposed operation is Project II of the ENABLE Youth Sudan Program (EYSP) being implemented to create business opportunities and decent employment for the Sudanese youth along priority agricultural value chains. ENABLE Youth is one of the flagship operations under the Bank’s Feed Africa Strategy for Agricultural Transformation (2016 – 2025) and Jobs for Youth in Africa Strategy (2016-2025). The Government of Sudan was among the first Regional Member Countries to participate in the Bank’s ENABLE Youth Program. The Bank approved the EYSP Project I in November 2016, which covers five states: Khartoum, Gezira, Kassala, Gedaref, and River Nile. The EYSP Project I has so far trained over 700 youth and another 1,000 are currently enrolled in various incubation programs in all the five states. Therefore, the Project I is on course to achieve its objectives of training and empowering 2,000 youth out of which 1,800 agribusinesses are expected to be established generating about 12,000 direct jobs. The EYSP Project II aims to encourage the growth of commercially viable agribusiness small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country by providing entrepreneurship skills, access to financing, land and markets, mentorship, and post incubation follow up and monitoring. The project seeks to achieve this objective by identifying innovative potential-oriented entrepreneurs, who are willing to pursue business opportunities in the agriculture sector. It will strive to have a demonstration or catalytic effect by encouraging a new generation of entrepreneurs to enter, grow, and advance the agribusiness sector  thus, fostering and accelerating the revival of Sudan’s agriculture sector, and helping to increase agricultural incomes, create wealth and jobs and reduce poverty. The project cost is estimated at UA 22.23 million, of which AfDB is financing UA 20.00 million or 90% and the Government of Sudan will contribute UA 2.23 million or 10%. Its implementation is expected to take five years.  The overall goal of the EYSP is to improve job creation, food and nutrition security, income generation and livelihoods for youths. The specific objective of the EYSP Project II is to create business opportunities and decent employment for young women and men along priority agricultural value chains by building entrepreneurship skills in agribusiness and supporting them with access to credit, markets, and other services for agribusiness development.  The EYSP Project II will be implemented in ten (10) Youth Agri-Business Incubation Centres (YABICs) in Sennar, White Nile, Blue Nile, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Darfur. The project will achieve these objectives by training and empowering 2,000 agripreneurs, including target of a 50:50 female and men participation in all incubation centers through a targeted outreach program to bolster female participation. At least 1,500 businesses are expected to be financed under the project and each of these agripreneurs is expected to employ on average five (5) other support workers, generating about 9,000 direct jobs over the first 5 years of the project. The target youth will be in two categories  about 1,400 youth unemployed graduates who have completed post-secondary education (incubation)  and the second group of 600 graduate youths who are already engaged in agribusiness but have no or limited access to commercial loans to grow their businesses (acceleration). All youth selected will be graduates with at least a post-secondary diploma/certificate and aged 18 to 35 years.

Tanzania - Monduli District Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The Monduli District Water Supply Project originated with the Government of Tanzania’s request in the nineties for the Bank Group to finance a water supply project in the area of Mto wa Mbu. The Monduli District is one of the five other districts under the region of Arusha and it is generally sparsely populated (12 persons/km2) although its population has been growing rapidly at between 3.8 and 4.3% (national average is 2.8%) due in part to in-migration from other more densely populated areas (estimated at 9.5% of total population growth). The project will meet one of the most critical needs of a population living under the harsh conditions of an arid environment, vulnerable to variations in annual rains and to inaccessibility of suitable water sources for domestic and livestock consumption. It will also address the inherent fragility of such environments to enhance pasture management while protecting watersheds from degradation, and catering for wildlife. The project will focus on: (i) Capacity Building at the individual, community and District Council levels (ii) Provision of Water Supply Infrastructure for domestic and livestock consumption (iii) Environment and Watershed Protected in the project centers (iv) Sanitation Improvement for the residents of the project area, and (v) Project Management and Works Supervision. It will be implemented over a period of 36 months with a total cost estimated at UA 17.234 million.  The project will contribute towards meeting the following sector goal: Improved coverage of water and sanitation leading to sustainable livelihood in the form of improved health of population, reduction in livestock vulnerability and improved productivity, and increase in other water based economic activities. The objective of the project is to ensure that the population of 18 villages and two town settlements have adequate and sustainable access to safe, adequate and reliable drinking water supply to meet demand by 2011  enhanced awareness of sanitation and health  and year round availability of water for livestock.

Tanzania - Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program. The Tanzania Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program fits in to the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI) developed by the African Development Bank to address the challenge of providing basic water supply and sanitation services to the continent’s population living in the rural areas. The program supports Government’s efforts to achieve the water and sanitation National Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (MKUKUTA) targets and the MDGs, thus contributing to poverty eradication. It will increase access to essential water and sanitation facilities for the rural population. The program includes a) access to water supply and sanitation in all districts  b) increased water supply coverage and reduced distance between home and water points  c) reduced water borne and hygiene related diseases  d) community mobilization with gender equality  and f) appropriate water supply technologies whose maintenance can be done locally. The total cost for the 2006/7-2009/10 four-year period is estimated to be UA 223.28 million (USD 328.5m).  The sector goal is improved health and quality of life and reduced poverty of rural Tanzanians. The objective of the program, during 2006/7 to 2009/10, is to provide sustainable safe water supply and sanitation facilities, based on management responsibility and ownership by the users, within easy reach of 69 % of the rural population by the year 2010.  The program will ensure that an additional 6.5 million rural people have access to safe water by 2010 and that 90% of rural Tanzanians have sustained sanitation facilities.

Strategic Sanitation Plan. The Strategic Sanitation Plan Development intends to close the resulting gaps by providing the AMC and its partner the Arusha Urban Water and Sewerage Authority with a Strategic Plan and Implementation Programme that will guide the continuous improvement of sanitation in Arusha. The project includes development of a Strategic Framework, an Implementation Plan and Programme and will include Pilot Works. The Framework will propose a wide variety of combinations of technical strategies that are compatible with of institutional solutions for service provision and financing mechanisms within the constraints imposed by risks and social and environmental impacts. The Pilot works will, in the early stages of assignment, serve to generate demand and then inform and residents on the variety of technology and other dimensions of strategy, and towards the end demonstrate the application of proposed strategies. The Implementation Plan will provide modus operandi to render the strategies operational. Most significantly it will provide the AMC and AUWSA a basis to seek funding from external and internal sources.  The global objective is to contribute to overall improvement of sanitation in the Arusha Municipality through a viable programme of investment in the infrastructure defined by a strategic approach to planning. The specific objective is to endow AMC and its partners involved in the provision of sanitations services with a broad set of strategies and a detailed implementation plan to improve the functioning of services for storm water, solid waste, human and domestic waste and drinking water supply to meet the basic needs of residents to meet the demands of residents currently underprovided with the services.  The beneficiaries of the project are primarily the Arusha Municipal Council and the Arusha Urban Water and Sewerage Authority as the key agencies involved in sanitation planning. Since however the planning is ultimately intended for the residents, the ultimate beneficiaries are the residents of Arusha municipality, as well as the collaborating CBOs/NGOs and the local private sector whose roles will be impacted by the plan developed as a result of this project.

Tanzania - Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (Phase II). This project is the Phase II of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (RWSSP) which is part of the National Water Sector Development Program and covering Tanzania mainland. The proposed Phase II, jointly prepared with the GOT and the DPs, includes construction of rural water supply and sanitation infrastructure, National Sanitation Campaigns & School WASH, and Sector Management Support. It will bring general improvements in time savings as a result of the reduction in time people spent in collection of water. There will also be cost savings as people will spent less on public health and, also, there shall be a reduction in the spread of waterborne diseases.  Implementation of the Program will contribute towards the eradication of poverty and contribute towards meeting of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Program Phase II will be implemented over a period of four years 2011-2014 at a total cost of UA 200 million.  The sector goal of the program is to improve the health and quality of life of the rural Tanzanians through provision of water and sanitation services on a sustainable basis. Its specific objectives are to improve: (i) district level capacity to implement demand-based RWSS programs  (ii) access of rural communities to water and sanitation services operated and maintained by capable persons  (iii) health & hygiene practices.  This Phase II is expected to provide potable water to an additional 3.6 million people from new infrastructure and 1.0 million from rehabilitated water infrastructure. In respect of sanitation, the beneficiaries will be the school children in 264 schools. Sanitation awareness campaigns will be provided to an estimated 10 million villagers in rural communities.

Tanzania - Rural Electrification Study. The Tanzania Rural Electrification Study is justified because the country does not yet have a cost-effective and sustainable framework for planning and implementing the rural electrification projects in the country. Without the Rural Electrification Study including the energy resource data and information that would be generated by the study and the associated identification of projects, it would not possible for the Government to undertake the business with respect to provision of electrification services to rural areas. The Government is expected to take over the rural electrification business from TANESCO after its privatization in early 2004. The study carries out in two phases as stated below: (i) Program formulation for provision of electrification services to unelectrified rural areas  (ii) Preparation of feasibility of electrification projects for rural areas/towns conforming to the definition of rural development projects within the framework of Phase I. It will provide the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) with the Rural Electrification Master Plan, technological alternatives, choices, and solutions leading to the formulation of rural electrification programme. The Rural Electrification Programme shall include commercial and rural development electricity projects, which can be swiftly implemented by the private sector, Government, Community Based Organizations, and Non Governmental Organizations.  The objective of the study is to prepare the Rural Electrification Master Plan and devise the programme for the provision of electrification services to rural areas in mainland Tanzania.

Electricity V. The objective of the project is to secure, improve and extend the sustainable supply of electricity to consumers in Arusha ,Mwanza, Shiniyanga and Dar Es Salaam. The project also aims at helping TANESCO increase its customer base by supplying electricity to new consumers.

Tanzania - Iringa-Shinyanga Transmission Line Project. The Iringa-Shinyanga Transmission Line Project involves the construction of an overhead line to reinforce the entire backbone transmission grid system of Tanzania. In order to avoid installing excess transmission capacity and reduce initial investment cost, the development of the project is divided into two (2) phases. Phase I of the project involves the construction of a 667 km long, 400 kV double-circuit backbone transmission interconnection, including the Fiber Optic Communication Line (FOCL) and the Shield Wire System (SWS). Phase II will comprise a system upgrade to 400 kV level for all associated substations (Iringa, Dodoma, Singida and Shinyanga) with the addition of 720 MVA shunt-reactor capacity. The planned upgrades will allow an increase in the transfer capacity to 1,000 MW. The implementation of the upgrade is scheduled for 2020 when the load on the line is expected to warrant that level. The existing 220kV line has already reached its technical limits and cannot handle this expected demand growth. In this context, the proposed project is of critical importance and forms part of TANESCO’s shortterm strategy for national grid transmission line reinforcement. Most of the line stretches will run parallel to the existing 220 kV line, with only minor variations in areas where alternative alignments have been proposed due to the topography of the terrain. The planned line is a 400 kV line and will have a length of approximately 670 km. It will interconnect four substations (S/S) at the Iringa, Dodoma, Singida and Shinyanga towns. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 at an estimated cost UA 314 Million.  The project is designed to enable the transmission of adequate power to meet growing demand in Tanzania as well as meet the requirements of planned interconnection with neighbouring countries. The proposed new transmission line will considerably increase the power transfer capacity from the existing and future generating sources in the south to the load centres in the north and northwest of Tanzania.  The main project beneficiaries will therefore include (i) TANESCO as the project facilities will enable TANESCO to evacuate power from planned projects  (ii) households, industrial, mining and commercial electricity consumers to be connected to the national grid will also benefit from the new supply and increased reliability of service as a result of the project  the project will also benefit the rural population by facilitating the work of the Rural Energy Agency (REA).

Support to The Strategic Action Plan for Vocational Education and Training. The purpose of the project is to contribute to increased access and improved quality and equity of technical vocational education and training (TVET) and to build capacity for teacher education.

Tanzania - Alternative Learning and Skills Development Project (Phase II). The Alternative Learning and Skills Development Project Phase II (ALSD II) builds on an earlier phase completed in 2009 that was considered highly successful. It targets the Unguja and Pemba islands in Zanzibar. This project is needed now to provide the youth with skills that will increase their competitiveness for jobs in Zanzibar or elsewhere in the East African Region. Young people aged 15 -34 years constitute about 36% of the population of Zanzibar but account for 30.6% of total unemployment on the Island. Similarly, about 20% of young people aged 15-24% is unemployed, 51.8% of whom are women. It has been observed that an important driver of unemployment in Zanzibar is the lack of skills with only 11.8% of unemployed persons having had certificate level training or informal apprenticeship. The project would equip the youth with skills for the labour market and for self-employment particularly in the establishment of growth-oriented businesses in emerging sectors such as tourism. The main project outcomes include (i) reduced unemployment amongst the youth and (ii) increased skills availability for the labour market. The total project cost is UA 21.02 million over a five year period.  The project aims to improve employment of the youth and women through improved access to technical and business skills required by the labour-market. Overall, the project is expected to improve literacy and skills amongst out-of-school youth, 50% of whom will be women.  The direct target group is 116,547 unemployed youth but in the short term, the project will provide skills training in various trades or professions to 2,500 out of school and unemployed youth. The project will also support capacity development of institutions involved in youth employment and skills development issues. These are the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT), Vocational Training Authority (VTA), Zanzibar Institute for Tourism Development (ZIToD), Karume Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), the Labour Commission and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Indirect beneficiaries include the private and public sectors as well as the local communities who will benefit from the availability of requisite skills in the labour market.

Program In Support of The Secondary Education Development Plan. The program in support of the Secondary Education Development Plan has its basis in the government’s Education and Training Policy and the Education Sector Development Program (ESDP). Under the ESDP, a Primary Education Development Program (PEDP) for the period 2002 -2006 and Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP) for the period 2004 – 2009 were developed. This program supports the implementation of the government’s Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP) activities. These activities include the expansion and improvement of physical facilities  provision of teaching and learning materials  training of teachers  reduction of barriers to secondary education for children from poor households through the provision of scholarships  supporting programs aimed at improving the retention of girls in schools  and strengthening of the capacity for education management. Therefore, the program responds to Tanzania’s need to increase access and improve the quality and equity of education. It will contribute to the Government’s effort to increase access and improve secondary education, especially in remote rural areas with little access to secondary education. The total estimated cost of the SEDP over the five year (2004-2009) period is TZS 1,433,084 million (equivalent to about UA 754 million).  The overall national sector goal for education is ensuring equitable access to quality primary and secondary education, universal literacy and expansion of higher, technical and vocational education. The objective of this program is to support the implementation of Secondary Education Development Plan (SEDP), which aims to contribute to increased access and improved quality and equity of secondary education.  Secondary school students throughout the Mainland will benefit from the expanded and improved learning conditions. But since one of the objectives of SEDP is to improve the provision of secondary education in underserved remote areas, many of the beneficiaries of the program are expected to be students from rural communities. Other beneficiaries of the program will include students from poor households who will receive scholarships, under-qualified teachers who will receive in-service training to upgrade their qualifications, and school head teachers and school inspectors who receive training that will enhance their capacities to fulfill their duties more effectively.

Tanzania - Zanzibar Water and Sanitation Project. The Zanzibar Water Supply and Sanitation Project is a new phase of the AfDB's intervention in the water sector in Zanzibar after the rural water supply project completed in the early 1990s. This is an operation covering several aspects of Zanzibar's water and sanitation sector. This project was partially completed when it was stopped and the remainder of the loan cancelled due to the Zanzibar government's insistence that national water supply should remain a free public service, as it has been since 1981, in contradiction with the terms of the loan agreement. The project, jointly prepared with UN Habitat, includes support for institutional development, urban water supply and sanitation and water resources management. It will be implemented over a four-year period at a total cost of UA 33.30 million. The project will make overall improvements to public health in the project areas, reduce waterborne diseases, and promote environmental sustainability. It will contribute to poverty reduction and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).  The project objective is to improve water supply and sanitation services in rural and urban communities supported by integrated water resource management.  The project beneficiaries for the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation component are 95,214 (works for Dunga/Tunguu, Kambini, Machui, Matemwe, Nungwi, Mzingani, Ndagoni, Vitongoji, Wambaa), which will increase the current coverage rate from 55 per cent to 65 per cent  the school water supply and sanitation programme, with approximately 276,000 students  the urban water supply and sanitation component, with 70,832 (towns of Chake Chake, Wete and Mkoani), which will increase the coverage rate from 75 per cent to 85 per cent  water resources management: in principle the entire population will benefit from the project. Beneficiaries will have full-time access to improved water supply and sanitation facilities capable of meeting current and future demand until 2020.

Tanzania - Zanzibar Urban Water and Sanitation Project. The Zanzibar Urban Water and Sanitation Project is a project based operation investment of UA 15.6 million, over a time frame of 4 years, from 2013 to 2016, to rehabilitate and upgrade the water production, transmission and distribution systems and to provide sanitation and hygiene facilities in schools in the Unguja urban area. At present, about one third of the Unguja installed water production capacity of 50,000 cum/day is operational, because some of the facilities require major rehabilitation or replacement. In addition, a significant proportion of the water produced does not reach the consumer tap, as it is lost on the way, through leakage, largely due to the poor operational condition of the distribution system, installed in the 1960s. Consequently, water services delivery in the Unguja urban area is discontinuous and unreliable and most customers get water only twice per week. Improved access to water supply will also sustain other services and socio economic activities, including tourism, which makes a significant contribution to the economy of Zanzibar.  The sector goal is to contribute to socio-economic development, poverty reduction and improvement in the standards of living and social well-being of the population by ensuring equitable and sustainable provision of reliable water and sanitation services. The project objective is to improve water supply and sanitation infrastructure and services in Unguja Municipality, which is Zanzibar’s administrative centre and the hub of its economic, cultural and tourist activities.  The project will benefit the population in the urban area of Zanzibar. The proposed intervention will enhance public health and raise the living standards of the Unguja urban population, comprising about 500,000 people, equivalent to 40% of the total population of Zanzibar. Students and teachers in schools will benefit from improved sanitation facilities, while communities will benefit from sanitation and hygiene training and promotion. Vulnerable groups in the project area will also benefit from the project.

NRGP will contribute to achieving the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and the NEPAD’s Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP). The programme would be implemented in 32 districts located in northern Ghana over a six-year period under four components: (i) Commodity Chain Development  (ii) Rural Infrastructure Development  (iii) Access to Financial Services  and (iv) Programme Coordination. The Programme Cost is estimated at UA 68.39 million.  The overall sector goal of the programme is to contribute to an equitable and sustainable poverty reduction and food security among rural households. The specific objective is to increase northern Ghana area rural households’ income on a sustainable basis.  The programme will have positive social impact on men, women and youths in the programme area. About 372,000 rural households or three million people living in these households will directly or indirectly benefit from the programme. An estimate of 1.56 million of women will also benefit from the programme.

Ghana - Cashew Development Project. The Cashew Development Project is designed to address identified constraints relating to cashew development in Ghana, and it is consistent with the Government of Ghana’s development strategies of poverty reduction, food security and agricultural diversification. It is also in line with Bank Group’s strategy for the Agriculture Sector in Ghana. Cashew is a high value crop whose development comes at an opportune time when the international market prices of Ghana’s traditional export commodities continue to decline. The project should contribute to the reduction of rural poverty by focusing its support on small-scale cashew producers and processors. This should broaden the production and income base for the rural poor and with it the production of more raw materials for industrial development and export. The project comprises four components namely: i) Production Development  iii) Extension and Training  iii) Credit, and iv) Project Management.  The project should contribute towards achieving the following sector goals: improve living standards of the rural population by generating rural employment in order to contribute to poverty reduction, and earn foreign exchange for the country. The objective of the Cashew Development Project is to increase cashew production in five regions.  The primary beneficiaries of the project are the present and potential smallholder cashew farmers and processors. They are subsistence operators who grow food for their households and market the marginal surplus quantities for cash income.  Institutionally, the direct beneficiaries of the project are the ten Districts and the five Regions involved in the project, and the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG). Project beneficiaries comprises an estimated 20,000 small-scale cashew producers  members of smallholder cashew processor groups including potential owners of the newly established micro-processing units for cashew  operators of 40 nurseries for cashew planting material  240 AEAs, 20 District and Regional MIS Officers and the cashew research unit at CRIG.

Ghana - Inland Valleys Rice Development Project. The Inland Valleys Rice Development Project aims to increase the production of rice and the incomes for smallholder rice producers, traders and processors in its area and neighbouring areas. It also contributes to increased domestic milled rice production estimated at about 13,000 tonnes per year starting in Year 5. Hence, the project should contribute to foreign exchange savings valued at about US$ 3.7 million per annum. Increased production induced by the project will lead to increased employment and income generation opportunities. The project should also make provision for HIV/AIDS and Family Planning campaigns, and the prevention of malaria in the project area. It has five main components, which are Land Management, Credit for Crop Development, Capacity Building, Adaptive Research and Surveys, and Project Co-ordination. The main outputs of the project are: development of 4,500 ha rice cultivation  improvement of 280 km of access roads and field tracks  provision of UA4.9 million credit for farm inputs and equipment  training of beneficiaries and technical staff  development of rice agronomic packages and technologies  and strengthen project co-ordination.  The sector goal is to enhance food security and reduce imports of rice. The specific objective is to increase incomes of smallholder rice producers in the project area by increasing production of good quality rice.  The project's target beneficiaries are smallholder rice farmers, millers, and traders including both men and women and their families. The farming population is young with ages ranging from 25 to 45 years. The family size tends to be large averaging six children per family. Both men and women are involved in rice farming. Men are mostly responsible for land clearing and preparation while women are mostly responsible for planting, weeding and harvesting. In addition, women are also responsible for processing activities and marketing of farm products.

Mozambique - Institutional Support Project to Banco Poprrlar de Desenvolvimento (BPD). The proposed project aims to assist the Government of Mozambique through the provision of institutional support to Banco Popular de Desenvolvimento (BPD) for its structural and functional rehabilitation. The main reasons necessitating the institutional support are the facts that BPD is confronted with various typical constraints, which have to be specifically addressed. Indeed, BPD plays an important role in the development and the financial system of the country. It accounts for about 42% of total savings mobilized and almost 20% of the total credit to the economy in 1989. BPD's position is most outstanding as the second most important credit institution with respect to sectoral allocation of credits particularly to agriculture and industry. The Government attaches great importance to the role of BPD within the economy being the only development finance institution in the country. There is the need for the structural- and functional rehabilitation of BPD to enable it play its role more meaningfully and effectively. The project consists of the procurement of goods and services to strengthen BPD's institutional capacity. It includes computers, vehicles, training, office equipment and technical assistance and a portfolio audit. The total cost is estimated at FUA 4.190 million.  The aim of the project is to strengthen the overall operation of Banco Popular de Desenvolvimento (BPD) and more specifically of the Special Operations Department. This objective will be attained by computerizing BPD operations and by providing technical assistance, training for three years and office equipment to BPD.  The project will have a higher profitability of Banco Popular de Desenvolvimento (BPD) and other local enterprises financed and promoted by it. The Government of Mozambique will benefit from favourable policy environment.

Project Objective is to I) strenthen the institutional set up, updgrade managerial and technical capabilites of Bank staff through providing technical assistance and training programme  ii) to enhance the future lending operations of Bank of Mozambique following the trasfer to functions from the privatised BPD to BOM in January 13, 1999 and to enable BOM to play a more effective and meaningful role in the economy in coordinating all the the inflow of funds in the economy.

Line of Credit to Support Small and Medium Enterprises. The present intervention is relative to the Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises Support Project. It should specifically address three main objectives of the Mozambican industrial sector. These are: i) the establishment of appropriate financing mechanisms that facilitate SMSEs’ access to finance  ii) the rehabilitation and modernization of the industrial sector  and iii) the strengthening and restructuring, of the institutions responsible for the promotion and development of local industry in order that they might provide a more integrated and efficient assistance to SMSEs. The proposed project should provide medium to long-term local currency funding to two institutions engaged in the financing of SMSEs in Mozambique, in order to bridge the maturity gap between the demand for long-term loans, and the deposits available in the financial system to provide such loans. These institutions are: GAPI (Small Investments Promotion Company Limited) and FFPI (Small Industries Development Fund). The project has three components: a Technical Learning in Firms Component, which focuses on building the technical capabilities of majority Mozambican-owned firms in manufacturing and services supporting manufacturing and exports (including tourism)  a Finance (Line of Credit) Component, which seeks to provide SMSEs with medium to long-term finance through a number of selected financial institutions  and an Institutional Capacity Building Component, designed to provide assistance to selected Government and private sector institutions which interact most intensively with private firms.  The objective of the project is to support the development of small and medium-scale enterprises in Mozambique by enhancing their access to medium to long-term finance. In making resources available to eligible SMSEs, the project should contribute to achieving the sector goal of creating a modern and competitive industrial sector.  It's expected that up to 250 small and medium-sized enterprises benefit from the project. Secondary beneficiaries should be new employees to be recruited by the primary beneficiaries, the participants in the local economies where the enterprises are located, as well as other firms providing inputs and services to the primary beneficiaries.

Mozambique - Financial Sector Technical Assistance Project (FSTAP). The Financial Sector Technical Assistance Project (FSTAP) aims to develop the institutional capacity of the financial sector. This development should be through the financing of activities aimed at: (a) strengthening the regulatory and supervisory framework of banking and non-banking financial institutions, including the insurance and pension sectors  (b) strengthen the coverage and management of social security  (c) develop an efficient and effective national payment system  (d) improve the legal and judicial environment for lending operations  and (e) expand financial services, especially to rural areas, by improving the operations of microfinance companies.  The overall objective of the FSTAP is to improve thesoundness and efficiencyof the financial sector, so as to strengthenits contribution to economic growth and poverty reduction in Mozambique.  The project should benefit all stakeholders in Mozambique's financial system.

Mozambique - Education I Project (Primary Teachers Training). The proposed project was identified in 1982, and thereafter prepared by a UNESCO mission which visited Mozambique in November/December 1983. It was approved in 1989. The project comprises the following components: (i) Primary Teachers Training Centres PTTC  (ii) Development of Teaching Materials  (iii) Strengthening the management capacity of the Project Implementation Unit (PIU).  The ultimate objective is improved quality of the first and secondcycles of Primary Education. The immediate objective is increased teacher training capacity by an additional 222 new teachers trained annually.  The beneficiaries are the teachers of primary education. The project will improve the quality of Teachers and that of primary education.

Mozambique - Health ll Project. The Health II Project responds to Mozambique’s need to implement the Health Sector Plan (2000 – 2004). It's designed to address the most pressing issues of the health sector in Mozambique and aims to enhance access to quality health care through improved primary health care infrastructure, support to the human resources development programme, and support to the control of infectious diseases, namely malaria and HIV/AIDS in the three northern provinces of Niassa, Nampula and Cabo Delgado. The project should provide resources to strengthen the health care infrastructure, human resources development programme, management capacity building and control of the spread of HIV/AIDS and malaria. The Health II Project complement the support of other donors to the implementation of the Plan. The project focus attention on (i) improved primary health care, (ii) institutional development, (iii) control of infectious diseases (malaria and HIV/AIDS), and (iv) project management.  The objective of the project is to enhance access to health care and improve quality of care for rural communities in three provinces (Niassa, Nampula and Cabo Delgado) through improved primary health care infrastructure, support to the human resources development programme, control of infectious diseases (e.g. malaria and HIV/AIDS).  The immediate beneficiaries of the project are the rural population in the three provinces, the National Directorate for Planning, the Provincial Health Directorates, National Malaria Control Programme, and the National Programme for Combating AIDS.

Mozambique - Beira Corridor Health Project. The Beira Corridor Health Project forms part of the concerted effort by the donor community to assist Government of Mozambique in order to reconstruct its basic health infrastructure, which was destroyed during the civil war. It supports the MOH policy to increase health coverage, improve health status and ensure quality health care services to the most vulnerable population, especially women, children, returning refugees and internally displaced people. The project, which will be implemented over a period of 4.5 years, is articulated around the following components: (i) Rehabilitation and reconstruction of 17 health centres  (ii) Human Resources Development: construction, furnishing and equipping of one new Training Centre at Nhamatanda Rural Hospital  provision of fellowships and in-service training for health personnel  (iii) Project Management. Its implementation will increase accessibility to rural health services for the majority of people in the project area. This should have a positive impact in reducing morbidity and mortality rates thereby increasing productivity. Furthermore, the project will improve the quality of the health care delivery system at the primary level.  The immediate project objective is to restore and strengthen the capacity of existing primary level health facilities in the Beira Corridor through rehabilitation, reconstruction and upgrading of physical facilities and human resources development.  The project will provide adequate and effective primary health care facilities to over 1.3 million people living along the Beira Corridor.

Health Study. The objectives of the study is to assess the health sector, focusing on selected factors which influence the quality of health care service, with a view towards designing a project that can improve the integrated function of the health system in the project area.

Social Dimensions of Adjustment Project. The main objective of the SDAP was to generate income and create employment for vulnerable groups which include retrenched, displaced and severely affected persons whose social and economic conditions have been worsened by the combination of war, policy reforms and drought.

Mozambique - Capacity Building for Poverty Reduction. The proposed project responds to Mozambique’s need to build institutional capacity in the field of poverty reduction. It is part of the Bank Group assistance to support Government's initiatives to develop capacity and human resources for poverty reduction. Two government institutes, considered as key agencies for the implementation of the government’s poverty reduction policies, are targeted by the project to develop and reinforce institutional capacity and human resources. Furthermore, the project will develop national capacity for participatory methods among a potentially wide range of private and public agencies. Therefore, it is expected to have a substantial impact on the effective and efficien implementation of current and future poverty reduction projects. The project consists of the following three components: (i) Capacity Building for Instituto Nacional de Acao Social (INAS)  (ii) Capacity Building of Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento Rural (INDER) and Project Coordination. It will be implemented over a period of 3 years, beginning January 1999.  The main objective of the project is to strengthen national capacity to develop and implement interventions for poverty reduction targeted at the most vulnerable groups. The specific objectives are defined as follows: a) To strengthen the institutional capacity of INAS to design, implement and monitor programmes for the creation of sustainable income generating activities for vulnerable groups  b) To reinforce the institutional capacity of INDER to provide advisory services and implement rural poverty reduction interventions  c) To develop and reinforce the capacity for the use of participatory approaches and other related techniques for poverty reduction within a number of relevant national institutions in Mozambique.  The project will increase the national capacity for effective and efficient implementation and management of poverty reduction on programmes within government agencies such as Instituto Nacional de Acao Social (INAS) and Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento Rural (INDER).

Grassroots Community Cap. Building (PPF). The present intervention concerns the preparatory facility of the Grassroots Communities Capacity Building Project. It's designed to allow for adequate preparation, participation of key stakeholders and consultation to ensure that their views and concerns are heard and taken into consideration during the design of the proposed project. The PPF should finance the following activities: (a) conduct studies, (b) conduct stakeholder workshops to build consensus on project design and proposed implementation modalities, (c) prepare detailed operational manual with guidelines, rules, and procedures on the implementation and financing of proposed project activities, (d) prepare a detailed project preparation report, and (e) plan and organize tnining and study tours for the staff and members of the PPF Task Force. The project is part of the Grassroots Community Capacity Building Program (GCCP) which is one of the government’s tools in the struggle against absolute poverty. It was drawn up to facilitate the planning, orientation and coordination of community level interventions, with the purpose of eliminating social exclusion, reducing absolute poverty, and guaranteeing sustainable socioeconomic development.  The objective of the PPF is to finance studies and other preparatory activities required for the design and preparation of a Grassroots Capacity Building Project. The PPF should allow drawing lessons from past capacity building efforts in order to integrate them in the design of the project under consideration.  The beneficiaries of the project are people living in absolute poverty, with special attention paid to the most vulnerable groups, such as women, young people, children, the elderly, the disabled, and households affectedby HIV/AIDS.

Mozambique - Women’s Empowerment and Skills Development Project - Consolidation Phase. This present intervention focuses on the second phase of the Women's Empowerment and Skills Development Project in Mozambique. This operation aims to sustain the achievements of two completed Bank financed projects, these include (i) the first phase of Women's Entrepreneurship and Skills Development Project (WESDP) and (ii) the Rural Financial Intermediation Support Project (RFISP). The Phase I of the Project, whose one of the main outcomes is improvement in nutritional deficiencies of the beneficiaries, transformed poor and illiterate rural women into active entrepreneurs that enabled them to participate in decision-making. This phase 2 Project will consolidate the activities undertaken under Phase I. The Project responds to the needs at local government level which inter alia include technical capacity to ensure proper monitoring, supervision and coordination. It consists of the following components: (i) Enabling Rural Livelihoods and Marketing Support (ii) Mainstreaming Women’s Access to Finance. The project will help sustain the provision of technical support, guidance and mentoring/coaching to the associations. Its cost is UA 4.22 million for a period of three years.  The over goal of this Project (Phase-II) is to empower and increase income of rural women through improved agro-processing and marketing skills. The purpose of the project is to empower and enhance rural women in Manica and Sofala agricultural productivity through improved agro processing and marketing skills to help increase their incomes. The project will therefore: (i) promote rural livelihoods, build skills and support marketing processes  (ii) enhance women’s access to finance and non-financial services  and (iii) strengthen project management.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 3,500 women, mainly from rural households who are food-insecure and threatened by post-harvest losses. These women will be from 187 legalized groups. Furthermore, 2,500 women will receive nutritional orientation. The indirect beneficiaries will include local artisans, traders and farm producer.

Mozambique - Programme of Economic Reform and Good Governance for the Reduction of Poverty (PER GROP I). The Programme de réforme économique et de bonne gouvernance pour la réduction de la pauvreté (PER GROP I) is part of the development community's support to the Government of Mozambique to bridge its external financing gap in 1997-1999 and at the same time implement the programme of economic reforms. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world and its social indicators are among the worst in Africa. The Government has been implementing broad policy reforms since 1987, and these reforms have been effective in generating adequate supply response. Poverty in the country has remained pervasive and the greatest challenge facing the government is to sustain growth and ensure its benefits are broadly shared. The programme is the first in a series of four economic adjustment programmes that the ADF is so far supporting for this country. The proposed operation supports policy and institutional reforms in the following areas: (i) foreign trade and exchange  (ii) budgetary and fiscal management  (iii)financial sector reforms  (iv) privatization and public enterprise reform  (v) sectoral reforms covering agricultural, social, and transport sectors  (vi) environmental policy reforms  and (vii) governance and public administration. The program will help to strengthen the pro-poor macroeconomic and structural reforms. It will assist in redirecting social expenditures to the poor. The envisaged measures under the program will help reduce poverty and promote good governance.  The programme objective is to stimulate economic growth through further macroeconomic and structural adjustment reforms, within the overall context of the PFP (1997-1999). The PER GROP I will support policy and institutional reforms, which are designed to improve aggregate demand management and generate sustainable supply response.  The programme will benefit to the Government of Mozambique and will permit to increase the standard of living of the population in the country.

Second Program of Economic Reform and Good Governance. This presentation is about the Programme of Economic Reform and Good Governance for the Reduction of Poverty (PER-GROP II). It's designed to contribute towards the easing of the Government’s budget constraint, which remains a major problem for the Government, given the low tax revenue receipts. The PER GROP II aims to support the GoM in its program of: (i) macro-economic reforms with specific focus on revenue mobilization, and (ii) public sector reforms with a focus on the reinforcement of the organization structure within the civil service, improvement in the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery and reinforcement of good governance.  The main objective of the PER GROP II is to assist the Government in the implementation of its poverty reduction strategy in order to accelerate growth, further reduce poverty, and upgrade the sustainability of development with the aim of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).  The main beneficiaries of the program are the people of Mozambique.

Mozambique - Loan to assist in the financing of the Second Poverty Reduction Support Program (PRSL II). The present intervention focuses on the Poverty Reduction Support Loan II (PRSL). In its quest for poverty reduction in Mozambique, the Bank is following up on its PRSL I with the second Poverty Reduction Support Loan II. The rationale is to deepen the results achieved by the earlier programme. Another aim is to improve economic and financial accountability by enhancing the external and internal audit functions and the local government framework for decentralized financial management within districts. The project is expected to strengthen the capacity of the Supreme Audit Institution and the District Consultative Councils to effectively perform their roles. In the context of the Mozambican decentralization framework, districts are meant to be the ultimate operational level of government. Building sustainable accountability mechanisms requires strengthening institutions both at national and district levels. The project has two major components: Improved Government’s Financial Accountability through Enhanced External and Internal Audit Functions and Strengthened local government framework for developed financial management within districts.  The objective of PRSL II is to enhance transparency and accountability in the use of public resources both at the national and district levels by improving transparency in Public Financial Management  and strengthening decentralization.  The ultimate beneficiaries of the program are the people of Mozambique.

Mozambique - Growth and Public Sector Efficiency (GPSE) Program. The Growth and Public Sector Efficiency Program (GPSE) is the fifth general budget support operation for Mozambique, and it sustains and deepens reforms supported by the Bank‘s previous two Development Budget Support Loans (PRSL I and II). This program’s reforms are designed to assist Mozambique in broadening the social impacts of the country’s robust economic growth on job creation, income generation and poverty reduction. As such, the GPSE comprises two components. The first deepens the public sector governance reforms supported by the PRSL series to make government finances more transparent, efficient and effective, particularly in relation to public financial management, extractive resource concessions and public-private partnerships. The second focuses on key policy areas related to business, entrepreneurship and employment creation, such as smoothing the regulatory and legal framework for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), trade facilitation, credit expansion and professional skills training. It will be implemented over three fiscal years (2011-2013).  The development objective of the proposed operation is to create the conditions to foster more inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction by enhancing public sector efficiency, skilled human capital development and job creation. The GPSE aims at consolidating and deepening the public sector governance reforms launched with the support of the previous two PRSL operations, and supporting the new reform priorities of the GoM to promote pro-poor economic growth to accelerate poverty reduction and improvements in wellbeing.  Program beneficiaries include the entire population, due to the broadness of the reform agenda. Specific beneficiary groups include: (i) SME owners and their employees due to smoother bureaucratic requirements for business and trade, greater access to credit and labor opportunities and a better-trained workforce  (ii) rural businesses and individuals due to expanded rural micro-lending, PPP-led transport and service infrastructure and local distribution of revenues from resource extractive industries  (iii) foreign and domestic investors due to a more reliable and transparent legal and regulatory framework  and (iv) taxpayers through strengthened PFM and greater revenue from mega-project concessions.

Mozambique - Economic Governance and Inclusive Growth Program (EGIGP) – Phase I. The present project is the first phase of the Mozambique Economic Governance and Inclusive Growth Program (EGIGP). This initiative is designed as a programmatic series of three consecutive general budget support (GBS) operations covering fiscal years 2014, 2015, and 2016, with a total indicative financing envelope of UA 39.335 million for the three phases. As the Bank’s sixth GBS operation in Mozambique, the EGIGP responds to a request from GoM to support its reform agenda laid down in the Poverty Reduction Action Plan (PARP, Programa de Ação para a Redução da Pobreza) 2011-2014, recently extended to 2015), the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework 2014-2016 and a series of longer-term sectoral strategies. The first phase of EGIGP (EGIGP I) is presented for Board approval following the satisfactory implementation of a set of prior actions. In addition, the EGIGP I presents the multi-year framework and anticipates indicative triggers for the second and third phases (EGIGP II and III) based on the GoM’s reform agenda. Its implementation will contribute to the strengthening of GoM institutional capacity in the areas of PFM reform, fiscal transparency (including SOEs and public investment management), and private and financial sector development, though support for key institutional transformations.  The program’s development objective is to promote inclusive and sustainable growth in Mozambique through two complementary and mutually-reinforcing components, focusing on financial and economic governance: (1) Consolidating Transparent and Accountable PFM and Natural Resource Management Frameworks  and (2) Improving the Enabling Environment for Private Sector Development.  EGIGP’s direct beneficiaries include: (a) Government of Mozambique (GoM) institutions benefiting from an improved PFM framework (including, as direct beneficiaries, the entities implementing those reforms, such as the Tribunal Administrativo and IGF)  and (b) private sector entities, in particular MSMEs (an estimated number of 4.5 million in the entire country), as direct beneficiaries from the supported reforms in the form of increased access to finance and lower market entry barriers. Indirect beneficiaries include (a) the entire public administration through greater public sector efficiency  and (b) the entire Mozambican population (and specially women and youth) through the promotion of inclusive growth, job creation, improved natural resource management and service delivery, and a friendlier business environment.

Economic Rehabilitation Programme. The timely implementation of the all the project activities ina timely manner.

Mozambique - Economic Governance and Inclusive Growth Program (EGIGP) – Phase II. The present project is the second phase of the Mozambique Economic Governance and Inclusive Growth Program (EGIGP II). This operation is the second in a programmatic series of three consecutive general budget support (GBS) operations covering 2014-2016. This second phase follows the first one, called "EGIGP I", whose progress in the implementation of the reforms, contributed to improve the business climate and to enhance transparency in the PFM system and the management of extractive industries. EGIGP II will support government to deepen reforms supported under EGIGP I including: (a) measures to expand the integrated one-stop-shop network (e-BAUs, which are already being piloted to support streamlined business procedures)  (b) implementation of the 2013 Competition Law, through the adoption of the regulations and establishment of a new competition authority aimed at facilitating market entry and ensuring a level playing field  and (c) adoption of regulations for e-banking and mobile banking services in order to promote inclusion in rural areas. The estimated cost of this operation is USD 247.2 million.  The goal of EGIGP II is to support government effort in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth by (i) consolidating transparent and accountable PFM and natural resource management frameworks  and (ii) improving the enabling environment for private sector development.  The direct beneficiaries of the program include (a) GoM institutions benefiting from an improved PFM framework (including, as direct beneficiaries, entities implementing the reforms, such as the Tribunal Administrativo and IGF)  and (b) private sector entities, in particular MSMEs (estimated at 4.5 million), as direct beneficiaries from the supported reforms in the form of increased access to finance and lower market entry barriers. Indirect beneficiaries include (a) the entire public administration through greater public sector efficiency  and (b) the entire Mozambican population (and specially women, youth, and rural communities) through the promotion of inclusive growth, improved natural resource management and a friendlier business environment.

Mozambique - Climate Insurance Finance and Resilience Project (CLINFIREP). The Climate Insurance, Finance and Resilience Project (CLINFIREP) seeks to promote the development of climate-resilient infrastructure and agricultural diversification using climate-smart agriculture practices to enhance Climate Resilience for sustained economic growth in Mozambique. The project also supports the Government national preparedness plan to reduce social vulnerability to drought through adoption of preventive insurance policies and programs and helping strengthen national capacity to respond to climate disasters. This is an important intervention as the effects and impacts of climate change are already being felt in the form of erratic and inadequate rainfall patterns and declining on-farm productivity. The total project cost is 33.94 million Units of Account (47.78 million dollars) and will be implemented over 5 years (2021-2026) in the 10 drought prone districts of the Maputo Province, Gaza and Inhambane Province. It builds on past investments by the Bank on drought resilience and is well aligned with the Government of Mozambique (GoM’s) priorities particularly the Disaster Risk Reduction, Emergency Fund, the National Adaptation Plans and the overall policy framework on climate change adaptation and mitigation. It is anticipated that the outcomes of the Project will increase GoM’s institutional capacity to develop climate proof integrated development programs and devise adequate climate insurance products, in the targeted areas in Mozambique. The CLINFIREP will also facilitate the participation of the country in the sovereign insurance pool of the African Risk Capacity (ARC) or other insurance mechanisms, which supports countries that experience climate shocks, including droughts and tropical cyclones.  The CLINFIREP proposes to reduce the impact of climate events and strengthen the resilience capacity of communities and production systems to better cope with the effects of drought, which are exacerbated by rural poverty, food insecurity, and land degradation. The specific objectives of the project are: (i) to improve climate resilient infrastructure (ii) to promote climate-resilient income-generating activities and strengthen food security and nutrition and (iii)to enhance insurance mechanisms against climate-related disasters.  The Project will benefit the communities of the selected districts, displaced people in the Cabo Delgado Province, the Government at large, particularly the National Institute of Disaster Management (INGD), including the Disaster Management Fund (DMF), Food Security and Nutrition Secretariate (SETSAN), and Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Internal Waters (MOPH), Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA) and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) and the respective agencies at provincial and district levels where the Project will be implemented, through additional capacity and, technical and financial resources, to address their development challenges. The direct beneficiaries of the Project interventions are anticipated at around 500,000 people affected by droughts in the Southern regions of the country, of which at least 54% are women and youth. While in the northern Mozambique, the project will support some of the displaced people that have been affected by the armed groups. Other indirect beneficiaries include the private sector, the agricultural marketing enterprises, commercial and investment Banks, farmers’ groups and their representatives at the farmers’ associations.

Mozambique - Multi-Country Covid-19 Response Support Program (MCRSP). The proposed intervention focuses on the Mozambique component of the Multi-country COVID19 Response Support Program (MCRSP) in Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe (MMMS countries). This is an African Development Fund (ADF) and Transition Support Facility grants and a loan totaling UA 100.4 million for all four (4) countries. The MMMS countries have been combined into one group to ensure efficiency in the processing of the CRBS support under the Southern Africa Regional Development and Business Delivery Office (RDGS), in order to fast track the Bank’s assistance to RMCs. They have similar characteristics and needs in dealing with the pandemic, adopting a common approach and response across the four countries. Except for STP (that falls within RDGS), their plans align with the SADC strategic priorities for the health sector. As at 6 July 2020, Mozambique had 987 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 8 deaths and 256 patients having recovered. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a sudden stop to Mozambique’s tepid economic recovery. Indeed, the country has been recovering from a series of financial and natural shocks – including the collapse of FDI and currency depreciation in 2015-2016, related to the uncovering of $2 billion of previously hidden debts, and cyclones Idai and Kenneth in 2019, which caused an estimated $3.4 billion of damages. The proposed operation is designed as Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) and will be implemented over one year from July 2020. The program consists of three broad mutually reinforcing components (i) Protecting labour force productivity by strengthening diagnosis capacity and public health response to COVID-19  (ii) Safeguarding incomes and livelihoods through enhanced social protection systems  (iii) Strengthening economic resilience and protecting jobs against COVID-19 Shocks.  The goal of the proposed program is to support Mozambique’s efforts in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and protecting lives, livelihoods and jobs from the socioeconomic impact of the crisis. In line with GoM’s crisis response plan, the overall operational objective of the proposed operation is to strengthen the country’s healthcare and social protection systems while supporting agriculture and the private sector to weather the effects of the crisis and preserve productive capacity, employment and livelihoods.  The citizens of Mozambique at large will benefit from the effective implementation of the COVID-19 response plan and containment of the spread of the virus. Beneficiary groups include: the general population benefitting from a scale-up of detection and isolation capacity  poor and vulnerable households (especially women) that will benefit from the expansion of social protection  and small businesses and private sector that will receive cash relief from the fiscal and financial measures supported under the program.

Mozambique - Women Green Zones Development  Project in Maputo.

Mozambique - Family Farming Livestock Rehabilitation Project (FFLRP). The Family Farming Livestock Rehabilitation Project (FFLRP) in Mozambique is designed on the assumption that the security situation in the country will gradually improve. The project components are directed towards the establishment of a farming systems research programme and an animal production extension network, and to the rehabilitation and development of animal health services. This components will focus on activities that will improve livestock husbandry and production levels principally in the family sector. Through its farming systems research and its extension network , the project will identify constraints and need within the sector, and introduce improved farming practices. The project will have a national scope. In view however of the higher concentration of cattle in the southern Provinces of Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane, the principal activities for cattle will be carried out in these Provinces, initially focusing on 10 priority districts which have been identified by the Government. Intervention will commence in those Districts which are currently safe, spreading later to other Districts as the security situation improves. The project will also assist the regeneration and improvement of small ruminants in those areas where these species have been traditionally kept, and cattle are absent because of animal trypanosomiasis, and will revive backyard poultry production in the northern Provinces, which in stable times are grain surplus areas. The shortage of adequately trained manpower and institutional strengthening will be addressed through the provision of technical assistance and training support. The project will have a duration of five years.  The overall objective of the project is, in the medium-term, to stabilize the national livestock population, and rehabilitate livestock infrastructure which have been decimated by civil disturbances and drought in recent years  and to introduce measures which in the long-term will lead to the improvement of animal production, to the increase in livestock numbers up to a level commensurate with the land’s carrying capacity, and to the increased supply of animal protein and draught power within the family farming sector.  At full development, an estimated 150,000 families are expected to benefit from the project.

The overall strategy of the project aims to identify and demonstrate the techniques and organisational skills that work on specific pilot sites for a sustainable progress towards food security. The project should develop pilot schemes to evaluate agricultural production technologies and new approaches for assisting small farmers to benefit from improved technology on a sustainable basis. It should be focus on water control and management technologies. Furthermore, the project should demonstrate additional activities that should facilitate diversification of farm to livestock activities with a particular focus on women’s groups. It comprises three components namely: (i) water control and management (ii) intensification and diversification, and (iii) project management.  The sector objective is to achieve national and household food security. The specific objective of the project is to evaluate improved agricultural technologies for possible adoption by farmers with a view to ultimately forming an investment programme in food security.  About 370 households cultivating around 185 ha are expected to benefit from the consolidation of existing irrigation and the launch of the proposed new irrigation in the Water Control and Management component. A further 1,550 non-irrigating households on 775 ha should benefit from Farmer Field Schools (FFSs) focusing on dryland farm management and improvements in crop husbandry.

Mozambique - Massingir Dam and Smallholder Agricultural Rehabilitation Project Supplementary Loan. The present project is a supplementary loan to fill the financing gap and provide adequate resources for the implementation of the Massingir Dam Emergency Rehabilitation Project (MDERP). MDERP was appraised in March 2009 as a response to an emergency when the Massingir Dam’s bottom outlets collapsed resulting in the release of an uncontrollable outflow of Water. It is therefore an autonomous operation justified by the need to prevent a disaster in case of severe flood, a phenomenon common in Mozambique. The project implementation commenced in 2010 with the launching of the tender process for the repair of the bottom outlets, but the process proved unsuccessful as it resulted in extremely variable bids (very high and very low). The only substantive bid exceeded the project’s available funds by about USD 37 million. This support aims to complement the resources provided by the ADB loan for the effective implementation of the MDERP. The supplementary Loan not exceeding UA 22.01 million comprises of UA 18.13 million from ADF 12 resources and UA 3.88 million from cancelled resources resulting from closed projects be extended to the Government of Mozambique. It consists of two main components: I) Rehabilitation of the Massingir Dam Bottom Outlet  and II) Project Management, included the Consultancy Services for the supervision of the works.  The project’s sector goal is to contribute to GoM’s central objective of increasing agricultural productivity to ensure food security. The project objectives are to: (i) to ensure sustainability of the Massingir Dam by preventing its total collapse in the event of heavy downpour  ii) improve food production and the living standards of the target group through sustainable improvement of the operational efficiency of the Dam. This would facilitate the productive capacity of farmers both small and medium scale to produce major crops downstream in Chokwe and Xai-Xai.  The rural population of Gaza Province will benefit directly from the project interventions. The project will establish a small-scale Xai-Xai irrigation system benefiting some 8,000 farm families  and (ii) a Chokwe irrigation system benefiting down to about 8,000 farm families downstream. The project will definitely help improve the wellbeing of 3 million people in the Southern Region.

Benin - The Third Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Program (GPRSSP-III). The proposed intervention concerns the third phase of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Program (PASCRP III) in Benin. It consists of a loan of UA 11 million and a grant of UA 11 million from ADF XI resources, in the form of General Budget Support covering the 2009-2010 period. This operation is in response to the request of the Government of Benin dated March 19, 2009 as contained in its development policy letter. The program was evaluated in January 2009, immediately after the annual joint review of the Technical and Financial Partners (TFPs), carried out in September 2008, under the Joint Budget Support Group Memorandum of Understanding concluded between the Government of Benin and the development partners in 2007. It is part of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy (GPRS II) adopted by the Government in 2007. It remains consistent with the Bank Group's assistance strategy for Benin over the 2005-2009 period. The design of the Program took into account the principles of good practice in conditionality and the provisions of the Bank's policy on non-concessional debt accumulation. The choice of these components is the result of recent studies and evaluations in the areas of public financial management and the business climate in Benin, as well as lessons learned from the completion reports of the Bank Group's last two budget support operations in favor of Benin (PRSP I and PRSP II). These studies and completion reports have revealed persistent shortcomings in the implementation of the reforms undertaken by the Government in these areas.  The overall objective of the Program is to contribute to the implementation of the Government's Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy. Its specific objectives are (i) strengthening good governance through effective and efficient financial management  and, (ii) building a solid foundation for accelerated growth. It is structured around two components, namely: (i) strengthening public financial management and  (ii) improving the business environment.  The main beneficiary of the Program will be the Beninese population, and more particularly the poorest segments of the population, to the benefit of which the Government will devote substantial expenditures by, on the one hand, maintaining a good pace of implementation of budget allocations for the CPRS priority sectors (Agriculture, Health, Education, Water and Sanitation)  and, on the other hand, improved management of public resources. In addition, the improvement of the business climate through more flexible procedures for business creation, easier access to land, the fight against corruption, and the granting of tax incentives will benefit economic operators, who will be increasingly encouraged to invest in wealth and job-creating activities. The other beneficiaries are the State's financial administrations, whose operational capacities will be strengthened through the implementation of reforms in the public financial management system. The State will also benefit from the improvement in public finances thanks to the arrival on the formal market of companies and operators who have hitherto operated outside the organized circuit of the economy.

Benin - Economic Governance and Private Sector Development Support Programme - Phase I (PAGE-DSP I). The Economic Governance and Private Sector Development Support Programme - Phase I (PAGE- DSP I)  aims to improve economic governance and private sector development in Benin by improving the business climate, promoting the agro-industrial sector, and strengthening climate action. Private entrepreneurs, professional organisations, farmers, and livestock breeders, particularly women and young people, are also indirect beneficiaries of PAGE-DSP, in the sense that the reforms affecting the production system, particularly the agricultural sector, will facilitate their integration into the economy, and thus help to create wealth for the country. It aims to contribute to achieving the following outcomes by 2024: (i) increase private investment to 30.2 per cent of GDP in 2024 (compared with 29.9 per cent in 2022)  (ii) increase the amount of investment in the Glo-Djigbé SEZ to XOF 20 billion in 2024 (compared with XOF 11 billion in 2021)  (iii) reduce the time taken by the State to pay debts owed to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to 60 days in 2024 (compared with 200 days in 2021)  (iv) increase the added value of agri-food industries to 6.4 per cent of GDP in 2024 (compared with 6.1 per cent of GDP in 2022)  (v) increase the percentage of players in the agricultural sector who systematically integrate gender approach in the interventions in the agricultural sector to 15 per cent in 2024 (10 per cent in 2022)  and (vi) improve the Vulnerability Index score to 40.2 in 2024, compared with 39.9 in 2022.  The overall objective of the programme is to increase private sector contribution to the economy by improving the business climate, supporting the agri-food sector, and strengthening climate action. The specific objectives are: (i) improve business climate  (ii) strengthen the Special Economic Zones (SEZs)  (iii) support the agribusiness sector  and (iv) support climate resilience.  The direct beneficiary of the programme is the State of Benin, through the Ministry of the Economy and Finance (MEF), but also the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIC), the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security (MISP), the Ministry of Living Environment and Transports, in charge of Sustainable Development (MCVT), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAEP) and the Investment and Export Promotion Agency (APIEx). The indirect beneficiaries are the citizens of Benin, who will benefit from the stabilisation of the country's macroeconomic situation and the development and strengthening of the agroindustrial sector through the creation of sustainable jobs and income generation.

Benin - Project to Develop Skills for Employment in Priority Sectors, Phase 1 (PDCESP-1). In response to the human capital and jobs challenges, the Government of Benin Republic has adopted the Development of Skills for Employment In Priority Sectors – PHASE I (PDCESP-I) Project in a context where there is a significant job potential for which young Beninese need to be trained and qualified. This project fits with Benin’s endeavours to make skills development for increased human capital productivity one of its strategic priorities at the national and sector levels. The project has three main components: (i) renovation and extension of technical and vocational training infrastructure. The main aim is to increase the supply of technical and vocational training, with two sub-components. (ii) Secondly, improving the employability and professional integration of men and women. It aims to finance intangible catalytic investments (soft) to guarantee the sustainability of investments in infrastructure and teaching equipment, as well as the sustainable integration of trainees into the labour market. (iii) Finally, the last component concerns project management.  The project's overall objective is to strengthen the skills and qualifications of young women and men, to create a more innovative, enterprising and competitive workforce in the agricultural and energy (particularly renewable) sectors.  The direct beneficiaries are the communities where these facilities are located, which will be built or rehabilitated and provided with equipment and qualified human resources. The two UEVPs, which will be developed, will have an average net income of about XOF 3.1 billion per year net of taxes, which could theoretically make it possible to support the LTA to which they are attached. The final beneficiaries of the planned investments are young men and women who will receive relevant technical and vocational training enabling them to enter the labour market on a long-term basis as employees or entrepreneurs.

Rwanda - Kigali III water supply study. The proposed study includes the preparation of construction plans, technical specifications and tender documents for the following works and structures: construction of a water intake structure on the Nysbarongo River, sludge traps, raw water pumping station. The studies and plans will focus on meeting Kigali's estimated water demand until 2010 and will need to define appropriate implementation steps based on actual population growth. The purpose is to take into account new elements that have emerged in previous years, in particular: (i) the need to rehabilitate part of the capital's water supply infrastructure  (ii) the emergence of another route to fill the water supply gap in Kigali following the recent exploration of the Nyabarongo alluvial groundwater table. Thus, the study currently includes the following three phases: Phase 1: Assessment of current infrastructure and assessment of rehabilitation needs. Phase 2: Preparation of detailed design proposals (DPA) and tender documents (DAO). Phase 3: update of population studies and water demand by 2015, further study of the Nyabarongo alluvial groundwater table and Lake Muhazi and comparative studies of options for water resource mobilization as well as planning for the strengthening and extension of the distribution system by 2015.

Rwanda -  Rehabilitation of primary schools and of the  the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology. The main challenges confronting the country and which this project seeks to address are the lack of skills
exacerbated by the 1994 genocide and the very limited intake capacity of primary schools. In a context of national
reconstruction, the authorities adopted a strategy aimed at reconstituting the stock of human resources destroyed by
the war. Thus, with the support of development partners, the Government carried out an overall sector study and a
pre-investment study in technical education. The Project is a major contribution to the implementation of the
Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP 2006-2010) that prioritizes Basic Education over 9 years in which a major
constraint is the insufficiency of classrooms. The Bank finances ESSP via a sectoral budget support to be disbursed
in four tranches between 2007 and 2010. The Bank approved a Project in 2008 aimed at consolidating the gains of
the Education III Project in terms of training in scientific and technological skills at the higher level. With regard to
infrastructure (construction and equipping of primary schools and DPDs) and the procurement of school textbooks,
the Project took into account the activities of other partners (World Bank, Belgian Cooperation) and operations
undertaken within the framework of sectoral budget support in carrying out complementary actions in order to
avoid duplications.  The Project’s sectoral objective is to improve the quality of human resources. It has three specific objectives,
namely to: (i) Build the institutional capacities of the MINEDUC central services and regional education structures 
(ii) Broaden access to primary education by building and extending classrooms and improve teaching quality
thanks to the training of teachers and the supply of teaching equipment, and (iii) Put in place initial and ongoing
training of intermediate and higher technicians in industrial specialties.  Senior staff of MINEDUC and Inspectorates, teachers, youth and children.

Tanzania - Singida – Babati – Minjingu Road Upgrading Project. The proposed project involves the development and asphalting of the Singida - Babati - Minjingu road, 223.5 km long, which was previously a gravel/earth road. The project is formulated under the Transport Sector Investment Program (TSIP) to improve essential road transport connecting the north east regions of the country with the north-west, and the south with the northern regions. The Singida-Babati-Minjingu road is in this priority list of roads that need to be upgraded in keeping with the National Transport Policy (NTP) objective to bituminise all trunk roads and all regional and key district and urban roads. The road project will integrate well with other transport modes: the Arusha town airport and the Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA) serving local and international traffic, and the Singida airstrip. When completed, the SingidaBabati-Minjingu road will provide the only link between north east of Tanzania (Arusha – Moshi area) and the north west of the country (Mwanza-Bukoba), and connects the northern and central/southern zones through the Great North Road. The road serves the international traffic by linking the Central Road Corridor (Dar es Salaam to Mutukula) and the Northern Road Corridor (Mombasa-KampalaKigali). In addition, the completed road will open up the western regions to the ports of Tanga and Mombasa.  The transport sector goal is to support socio-economic development of the country through an improved, efficient and cost effective transportation system that integrates regional and national economic centres and in so doing contribute to poverty reduction. The project objective is to improve the essential road transportation services between Dodoma, Singida, Babati and Arusha and integrate the region with the rest of the country  and to integrate the key central transport corridor in Tanzania with the northern transport corridor traversing Kenya.  The majority of the project beneficiaries are the people living in the two Regions of Manyara and Singida (approximately 2.13 million consisting of about 410,000 households) or 6.3% of Tanzania mainland (2002) population. Other beneficiaries will be the users of the road including transporters and traders  administrators and public, private and NGO social service providers in heath, education and community development  extension workers  and small scale entrepreneurs  in addition will be farming community and the phosphate fertilizer factory at Minjingu.

Tanzania - Special Program for Food Security: Pilot Project. The Special Program for Food Security (SPFS) is conceived by FAO with the objective of rapidly increasing productivity and food production as well as a reduction in the inter-year variability in production. The SPFS is composed of three inter-related and complementary components: (i) water control and management (small-scale irrigation, drainage and water harvesting  (ii) crop intensification and diversification into short-cycle animals, vegetables  and (iii) analysis of socio-economic constraints. This project responds to the critical constraints of food insecurity through the testing of water control techniques that can assure farmers of stable supplies of food. It also demonstrates technologies for rapidly increasing production. The project is to be implemented in two phases -- pilot and expansion, with the latter consisting of a food security and agricultural security policy program, an agricultural investment plan and preparation of feasibility studies for bankable projects. As a pilot, this intervention is expected to provide valuable lessons that can be used in the formulation of broader agricultural investment projects. The total cost, over three years, is estimated at UA1.11million.  The overall project objective is to increase food security at both household and national levels. The specific objective is to determine an appropriate development strategy for assisting farmers to benefit from improved technology on a sustainable basis, and that may form the basis for longer-term investments in food security.  The project will be implemented in three regions (Iringa, Tanga and Morogoro) and targets poor small-scale farmers currently engaged in rice and maize production mainly for subsistence purposes. The direct project beneficiaries, include both men and women (not less than 50% of project beneficiaries should be women), are estimated at 2216 farmers who are mostly poor and currently engaged in rice and or maize production (on an average of 0.5 ha farm) mostly for subsistence purposes.

Benin - Electricity Corporation of Benin Sub-Transmission and Distribution System Restructuring and Extension Project (PRESREDI). The SBEE Sub-transmission and Distribution System Restructuring and Extension Project (PRESREDI) is a major investment project to expand electricity grids and connect more subscribers. The Bank's intervention is justified by the obsolescence of SBEE distribution infrastructure and the lack of investment which have a negative impact on SBEE energy supply quality, in terms of saturation of transformers and power lines or even significant energy losses in SBEE networks. In 2015, total energy losses (technical and commercial losses) were assessed at 23%1 of the total energy injected into the sub-transmission and distribution networks of the SBEE. The current operation supplements the budget support program (PASEBE-I) worth UA 19.92 million that the Bank approved for Benin in April 2017. This program specifically focuses electricity sub-sector support measures to provide Benin with immediate temporary additional capacity of 310 MW while structural actions are undertaken to endow the country with a national installed capacity of at least 335 MW by 2019-2020. The project has four components: (i) reinforcement of the existing 63/15 kV substations, (ii) the 63 kV Lokossa - Hagoumè line and 63/20 kV substation at Lokossa, (iii) enforcement and extension of the distribution networks (MV/LV) and (iv) project management.  The goal of the project is to: increase the electricity access rate in Benin and more specifically in the cities of Cotonou, Porto-Novo, Abomey, Bohicon and Lokossa and their environs  and improve electricity supply and reduce overall energy losses (evaluated at 23% in 2015) in the sub-transmission and distribution networks of the SBEE. Specifically, the project seeks to consolidate and expand the medium- and low-voltage distribution networks in the abovementioned localities and connect 10,000 new households.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the inhabitants of the municipalities of Cotonou, Porto-Novo, Akpro-Misserete and Seme-Kpodji (in Oueme Department)  Lokossa (Department of Mono)  Dogbo, Djakotomey, Klouekanme and Toviklin (in Couffo Department)  and Abomey, Bohicon and Zogbodomey (in Department of Zou). The project will provide a regular electricity supply to the inhabitants of these towns and their environs, including schools, health centres, as well as commercial and industrial companies. Specifically, the project will provide the SBEE with an additional 40,000 new connections, covering at least 212,000 individuals including at least 109,000 women (51%). The project will benefit SBEE employees through a capacity-building programme.

This new reform support operation comes in continuation of the Benin Energy Sector Support Programme (PASEBE) approved in 2017 by the Bank to support essential emergency measures put in place by the Government to address the country’s severe energy crisis. PACEB is divided into two complementary components, namely (i) Strengthening the investment environment and (ii) Improving energy governance and inclusion. These two components contribute to the implementation of reform measures aimed at removing the main constraints on competitiveness of Benin’s economy and reducing spatial disparities in access to energy. This support constitutes the first phase I of The program (PACEB-I).  PACEB aims to contribute towards creating conditions conducive to strong and inclusive economic growth by boosting Benin's economic competitiveness. More specifically, the programme will contribute to: (i) the establishment of a legal and regulatory framework conducive, on the one hand, to the development of a structured private sector that creates added value and, on the other hand, to the optimization of public investment  and (ii) strengthening energy sector governance to fill the energy gap and ensure more inclusive access.  PACEB’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of the Economy and Finance through financing of the national budget, the Ministry of Energy, AER, SBEE, CEB and all private sector actors. Indirectly, the programme will benefit the Benin population as a whole. It will definitely lay the groundwork for a structural transformation of the economy around viable private and public investment projects that are engines of strong and sustainable economic growth and socioeconomic well-being thanks in particular to the induced improvement in basic public services (health, education, drinking water, etc.), private sector development, job creation and reduction of urban social insecurity.

Benin - Secondary Towns Stormwater Drainage Programme (PAPVS). The Secondary Towns Stormwater Drainage Programme (PAPVS) is one of the Government Action Programme (PAG) flagship programmes and is consistent with the National Development Plan (NDP). It concerns eight (8) towns, namely: Abomey, Abomey-Calavi, Bohicon, Natitingou, Ouidah, Parakou, Porto Novo, and Sèmè Podji. This programme seeks to scale up and consolidate a similar project that is being implemented in Cotonou. With co-financing from other partners such as EIB and BOAD, it is based on an integrated, multi-sector and multi-stakeholder approach to comprehensively mitigate the impacts of stormwater and address other issues such as sustainable waste management and its treatment in a circular economy. The main challenges faced by the PAPVS are: (i) inadequate flood management infrastructure, which is sometimes exacerbated by: inadequate services to the population, particularly in solid waste collection and transportation  and (ii) the people’s low resilience to the impacts of climate change. The Bank's operation is a response to the challenge of stormwater management resulting from low hydraulic capacity or lack of infrastructure which negatively impacts access to sanitation facilities and mobility as well during the rainy season and have negative impacts on economic development and the quality of life for people in urban areas. The project has two main components, namely: (i) Construction of resilient stormwater drainage infrastructure and Associated works  (ii) Building the climate resilience of populations and communities with high risk of flooding.  The programme’s objective is to clean up the people’s living environment in the targeted towns and strengthen their resilience to flooding caused by climate change. Specifically, the project aims to: (i) reduce the vulnerability of towns and populations to floods and climate change  (ii) substantially improve the urban environment, hygiene, and sanitation in the targeted towns  and (iii) improve urban mobility.  The programme area covers the four (4) secondary towns of Porto-Novo, Ouidah, Bohicon and Abomey, with a total estimated population of 990,950 people, comprising 473,017 men (47.73%) and 517,933 women (52.27%). The direct programme beneficiaries are the populations of the towns concerned. The floods in these towns affect the population, and particularly women, children, young people, and the elderly who constitute the vulnerable groups. Other programme beneficiaries will be the people who use the feeder roads to the various districts, as well as transporters.

Benin - PROMAC-Project to promote Aquaculture and the competitiveness of fisheries value chains. This intervention concerns the Project for the Promotion of Aquaculture and the Competitiveness of Fisheries Value Chains (PROMAC). It aims to help increase the contribution of the fisheries and aquaculture sector to local and national economies and to food security by promoting aquaculture, fisheries governance and improving the added value of fish. PROMAC’s activities are aimed at developing agricultural value chains and the agroindustry in economically and socially disadvantaged areas with significant fishing and aquaculture potential, in particular by supporting target groups, managing fisheries resources and developing infrastructure to support production, processing and access to basic services. This project will consolidate the Bank's position as a key player in a sector where the majority of workers are women. Similarly, this support remains crucial in a context marked by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's1 invasion of Ukraine, which are helping to exacerbate the security, food, nutritional and social conditions of the population. PROMAC is structured around the following four components: (i) development of competitive and climate-resilient fish farming  (ii) development of commercial value chains and sustainable fisheries management  (iii) promotion of social and ecological resilience in fragile blue economy systems, and (iv) project management and coordination.  The objective of the project is to contribute to increasing the contribution of the fisheries and aquaculture sector to local and national economies and to food sovereignty by promoting aquaculture, fisheries governance and improving the added value of fish. The specific objectives are (i) sustainable development of production and productivity in the aquaculture sector, (ii) sustainable management of inland and marine fisheries, and (iii) development of fisheries value chains that are resilient to climate change.  The project should directly or indirectly benefit all stakeholders operating along the targeted value chains, from production to final consumption, via the processing, transport, service provision (inputs, seeds, equipment and materials, training) and fish marketing stages. The beneficiaries will be small-scale fishermen, fish farmers, fishmongers, fish shop processors and traders, and the fish farmers' inter-union. The other beneficiaries are the managers and staff of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAEP) and partner structures (financing institutions, institutions responsible for standards and health safety) of the project, whose human, financial and logistical resources will be strengthened. The total number of direct and indirect beneficiaries expected from the programme is estimated at around 673,000 people, half of whom will be women, comprising 63,000 in aquaculture (6,300 direct) and 610,000 in fishing (61,000 direct).

Benin - Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (PACEB) - PHASE II. The proposed operation concerns the extension of a loan of UA 3,497,974 and a grant of UA 1,544,303 from the resources of the African Development Fund (ADF) to the Republic of Benin for the financing of Phase II of its Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (PACEB-II). PACEB is a programme-based series comprising two consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the 2018 and 2019 fiscal years. With overall financing of UA 13 million, PACEB aims to remove the major constraints on Benin's economic competitiveness and narrow the spatial disparities in energy access by supporting, on the one hand, the establishment of a legal and regulatory framework as well as appropriate infrastructure conducive to the development of a well-performing private sector and, on the other hand, strengthening energy sector governance with a view to closing the energy gap and making energy access more inclusive. Phase II of the Programme will continue with support for further reforms required to achieve the programme's goal and the specific expected results, including: (i) sustainable increase in private investment  creation of greater industrial value added and  (iii) increase in electricity supply and improved energy inclusion through increased installed generating capacity and promotion of off-grid electrification. The budget support resources supporting PACEB II will also contribute towards partially bridging the 2019 budget’s financing gap, which stands at CFAF 274.3 billion.  PACEB-II is Phase II of PACEB whose key objective is to contribute towards creating favourable conditions for strong and inclusive economic growth, by improving Benin's economic competitiveness. More specifically, the programme will contribute towards: (i) establishing a legal and regulatory framework conducive, on the one hand, to the development of a structured private sector that creates value added and, on the other hand, to public investment optimisation  and (ii) strengthening energy sector governance with a view to closing the energy gap and making energy access more inclusive. The programme addresses the country’s key challenges and constraints.  PACEB’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of the Economy and Finance through financing of the national budget, Ministry of Energy, Electricity Regulatory Authority (ARE), Benin power company  (SBEE), Bi-national power company (CEB) and all private sector actors. Indirectly, the programme will benefit Benin’s population at large. It will lay the groundwork for a structural transformation of the economy around viable private and public investment projects, which constitute drivers of strong and sustainable economic growth and socio-economic well-being thanks particularly to the induced improvement of basic public services (health, education, drinking water, etc.), private sector development, job creation and reduced urban insecurity.

Benin - Multi-Country (Benin-Togo-Guinea) COVID-19 Response Support Programme. The proposed project is part of the COVID-19 Multi-Country Response Support Program (PAR-COVID-19) for a total amount of UA 49.1 million to the Republics of Togo, Benin and Guinea. The program was evaluated in April 2020, following requests from these countries to the Bank. All three countries recorded their first COVID-19 cases during the period 7-16 March 2020. As of 25 May, a total of 3,050 cases had tested positive in the three countries, including 1949 patients hospitalized and treated, 1,074 cured cases, and 27 deaths (representing an average case-fatality rate of 0.88%). The Program seeks to provide an emergency response to the health and socio-economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the three abovementioned countries which have many similarities. This is a Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS) operation. The measures supported by the Program will be implemented over a 12-month period starting in June 2020 and will contribute to the achievement of the following outcomes: (i) strengthening of screening capacity  (ii) improvement of national coverage in patient isolation structures  and (iii) mitigation of the socio-economic effects of the health crisis. This intervention concerns the component of the program dedicated to Benin, the cost of which is estimated at UA 5.1 million.  PAR-COVID-19 seeks to help strengthen the health and socio-economic resilience of the three countries to the novel coronavirus pandemic. The supported reforms are aimed at strengthening the health response measures and efforts to mitigate the socio-economic impact of the pandemic. Although supporting urgent measures, the program thus prepares countries for more structuring reforms during the post-crisis period, in line with the pillars of ADF-15, namely improving the business environment and institutional capacity to build resilience.  PAR-COVID-19 will directly benefit the ministry in charge of the economy and finance by financing the national budget and will have an impact on all Beninese populations, the ultimate beneficiaries of budget of budget implementation. More specifically, all vulnerable groups such as low-income households in both urban and rural areas, as well as private sector businesses will benefit from the emergency measures supported by the program.

Benin - Milk and Meat Sub-Sector Development and Livestock Enterprise Promotion Support Project (PRODEFILAV-PEL). The proposed intervention involves a UA 20 million ADF financing comprising a UA 10.62 million loan and a UA 9.38 million grant to the Republic of Benin to finance the Milk and Meat Sub-sector Development and Livestock Enterprise Promotion Support Project (PRODEFILAV-PEL). The project will be implemented over a five-year period, from 2022 to 2026. It will prioritize climate-resilient and low-carbon solutions as well as the implementation of innovative financing mechanisms to involve the private sector in the creation and promotion of modern livestock enterprises. PRODEFILAV-PEL will provide livestock enterprises with: (i) easy access to financing and markets  (ii) easy access to best stockbreeding practices and innovative business models  and (iii) an enabling environment for job creation. The project will support young entrepreneurs in designing sound business strategies, thus helping to improve the productivity of milk and meat value chains. It will also contribute to implementing Benin’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Climate Agreement. It is one of the priority projects designed to support the implementation of the country’s revised NDCs.  The project development goal is to improve the productivity and profitability of the milk and meat sub-sectors in a sustainable and climate-smart manner in its impact area. To achieve this goal, the project aims in the short term to: (i) improve access to quality factors of production  and (ii) improve access to production development equipment and infrastructure. To achieve these specific objectives, the project will seek to remove the main constraints on the development of the milk and meat sub-sectors.  The direct beneficiaries are: (i) agro-pastoralists  (ii) livestock traders  (iii) processors (butchers and women milk processors)  and (iv) professional sub-sector organizations at the municipal, county and national levels. The project indirect beneficiaries will be the people who will consume the final products and benefit from sensitization on best nutritional practices, as well as the actors involved or associated at various levels. These are mainly the Territorial Agricultural Development Agency (ATDA) 2 and 4, the 12 Divisional Directorates of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (DDAEPs), the Directorate of Livestock (DE), the Directorate of Rural Legislation, Professional Organization and Agricultural Entrepreneurship Support (DLROPEA), the Directorate of Agricultural Extension, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training (DCAI FE), the Benin Food Safety Agency (ABSSA), the Central Food Safety Control Laboratory (LCSSA), Facultie s of Agronomy and Schools of Agriculture, the National Agricultural Development Fund, decentralized financial services (DFS) and trained health workers. The project will benefit 66 640 people (7 people/farming household) directly and about 1 409 515 rural dwellers indirectly.

Benin - Public Finance Management and Business Climate Improvement Support Project. Benin’s ambition to build an emerging economy in the sub-region led the Government in 2006 to adopt the Strategic Development Orientations (SDO) for the 2006-2011 period. The initial stage of the SDO involves: (i) building a development-driven public administration  (ii) improving the quality of governance  and (iii) fostering private initiative. In that context, the Government of Benin has identified the improvement of public finance management and the business climate among the key priorities of its Growth for Poverty Reduction Strategies (GPRS 2007-2009 and GPRS 2011-2015 in the preparation phase). These priorities tie in with the overall objectives of the SDO that aims at meeting the challenges of economic competitiveness and improved governance, with a view to attaining the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Hence, to help it achieve this objective, the Beninese Government sought Bank assistance to finance the project under consideration. The request for financing was forwarded to the Bank in October 2009. The appraisal mission to Cotonou was fielded from 9 to 21 May 2010.  The overall objective of the project is to build public resource management capacity and improve the business climate, with a view to strengthening growth and reducing poverty. Specifically, the project aims at: (i) improving the technical capacity and effectiveness of procurement and external control stakeholders, for improved public finance  and (ii) building the capacity of structures involved in private sector development. By so doing, it will help to: (a) correct the weaknesses noted at the public finance level, particularly in its core component concerning upgrading and developing the external control system and public procurement stakeholders  (b) contribute to lifting obstacles that undermine business climate improvement in Benin in general, and improvement of “Doing Business” indicators in particular  and (c) build the capacity of structures involved in the effective implementation of projects financed by the Bank.  The direct project beneficiaries are the National Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (CNRMP), the National Directorate of Public Procurement (DNMP), Public Procurement Units (CPMP), the Audit Chamber, the Presidential Council for Investment (CPI), the Investment Promotion Centre (IPC), the General Directorate of Taxation and Lands, the General Directorate of Customs, various departments of the Ministry of Forward Planning, Development, Public Policy Evaluation and Coordination of Government Action. The ultimate beneficiaries will be the population of Benin, particularly its poorest segments. Indeed, the project will engender greater effectiveness, transparency, fairness and efficiency in the management of public resources channeled mainly towards the priority sectors of the GPRS, namely agriculture, health, education, water and sanitation. Furthermore, the improvement of the business climate through more flexible procedures and reduced business registration costs, the facilitation of border trade, the fight against corruption and the implementation of development-driven taxation, will be advantageous to economic operators (including women businesses managers) who will be increasingly motivated to invest in wealth- and job-creating activities.

Tanzania – Poverty Reduction Support Loan II (PRSL II). The proposed loan, amounting to UA 50 million, is aimed at providing budget support to the Government of Tanzania during the fiscal year 2006/07. It is designed to help the Government implement its Poverty Reduction Strategy and reach the goals articulated in the strategy. The implementation of the strategy will also help in realising the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The loan will support key policy actions outlined in the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) and will augment the resources that other donors are providing targeted at poverty reduction programmes. It will focus on policy actions in the following thematic areas: (i) the promotion of an enabling environment for rural development  (ii) the promotion of an enabling environment for private sector development  and (iii) improving the quality of life and social well-being. PRSL II will be implemented over 18 months.  The objective of the loan is to provide the Government of Tanzania with direct budget support to assist in implementing its Poverty Reduction Strategy, known as the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP). The ultimate objective is to reduce poverty and improve the country’s social indicators.

Tanzania - The Third Poverty Reduction Support Programme (PRSL III). The Poverty Reduction Support Loan III (PRSL III) is designed to support the Government of Tanzania to implement its Poverty Reduction Strategy. The strategy anchores on three complementary pillars—growth and reduction of income poverty  improved quality of life and well-being  and governance and accountability. The project aims at providing the government with direct budget support in the implementation of its poverty reduction strategy. It has four major components: Enhancement of revenue mobilization  Strengthening procurement practices  Strengthening audit functions  and improving governance structures and accountability systems in the road sub-sector. The total cost of the project is UA 465.20 million.  The global objective of the project is to enhance accountability and transparency in the allocation and management of public financial resources. The project specific objectives focuses on selected policy actions and reforms that contribute towards Tanzania’s public sector management reform agenda. These include: (i) effective Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms related to revenue mobilisation, procurement practices and audit functions  and (ii) performance of the infrastructure sector through better governance in the road sub sector.  The project will benefit the government institutions that are directly tasked with accountability, transparency and fiduciary control in the allocation and expenditure of public resources. In particular, it will contribute to enhancing the functions of: external auditing, regulatory arrangements and public procurement and tax revenue collection. Support to the road-sub sector will strengthen the role of key implementers of road programs across the country. The people of Tanzania will benefit from better public financial management that will translate into more resources for the delivery of essential goods and services and improved quality.

Export Processing Zone Study. 1.  Rationale for the Study: The overall objective of the EPZ study is to gather and analyze pertinent data with respect to creating an enabling environment for EPZ in Tanzania and to make recommendations to the Government of Tanzania, which will assist it in deciding on the viability of such export processing zone programme. In exploring the viability of EPZs in Tanzania, the Government is not only bent on broader export incentives than those currently being offered in the country, but will also ensure that the EPZ regime offers opportunities to attract and retain export-oriented foreign investment. 2.  Specific objectives : The specific objective of the study is to determine the potential for setting up export processing zones in the country by carrying out a techno-economic feasibility study, which will serve GOT as a decision -making tool.

Tanzania - Institutionnal Support Project for Good Governance. The purpose of the project is to support the United Republic of Tanzania in its efforts to implement reforms that will eventually contribute to the promotion of good governance. It has two components. The first component provides for the provision of support to the Public Financial Management Reform Program in Mainland Tanzania, specifically to the procurement component. In this regard, the project aims to contribute to the establishment of a transparent and professional public procurement system. The second component is to support the Zanzibar Reform Agenda for Good Governance, with the ultimate goal of assisting the Zanzibar Revolutionary Government to improve the judiciary and the management of public finances.  The sector goal of the project is to help accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty in Tanzania. The objectives are: (i) improve the management of public finances in general and, specifically, contribute to the establishment of a transparent and professional public procurement system  (ii) enhance the efficiency of the legal sector and the judiciary, and iii) strengthen good corporate governance practices.  The beneficiaries of the project are the ministries and institutions actively involved in the areas of good governance. Mainly, the Central Procurement Directorate (BTC) with regard to the first component. For the Zanzibar component, the institutions that will benefit from the project include the Attorney General's Office, the Prosecutor's Office, the Office of the Registrar General, the Comptroller General and the Auditor General.

Tanzania - Governance and Economic Competitiveness Support Program (GECSP). The Governance and Economic Competitiveness Support Program (GECSP) aims to support Tanzania in accelerating the implementation of its reform agenda in PFM, deepen structural reforms to accelerate private-sector led growth and provide financial resources. The program is needed now to support the GoT’s current reform program and consolidate the gains under the Bank’s predecessor GBS program (PRSL III). It will assist the GoT to address pressing fiscal challenges. A distinguishing feature of this fourth general budget support (GBS) operation is that it goes beyond the traditional focus on public financial management, by widening the scope of the Bank’s intervention to target certain hard and soft enablers for private sector development, in line with the country’s new National Development Strategy (NDS). The GECSP’s expected program outcomes are: (i) enhanced budget accountability and transparency  (ii) improved budget oversight  (iii) increased tax revenue generation  (iv) increased mineral resources management  and (v) improved business enabling environment and investment climate.  The overarching development goal of the GECSP is to contribute to maintaining an accelerated economic growth by strengthening economic and financial governance and improving the business enabling environment. In this context, the GECSP’s operational policy objectives are focused on: (a) strengthening the accountability, transparency and oversight of public resources, (b) improving domestic resource mobilization and (c) improving private sector development.  The beneficiaries of the program will be the citizens of Tanzania. They will gain from more accountable and transparent PFM systems, and better service delivery resulting from increased DRM. The comprehensive taxpayer communication strategy and awareness campaign will directly benefit civil society and the private sector, and provide greater clarity on tax liabilities. Tanzanian entrepreneurs of all sizes will be better able to contribute to the country’s inclusive growth and development trajectory, by operating within a more conducive business enabling environment, with more effective economic infrastructure and with less bureaucratic procedures, in particular pertaining to how they pay their taxes. Both foreign and local investors will also be incentivized to pursue investment opportunities in an environment where there is more transparency and less risk of corruption. As a result of a more robust PPP institutional set up and policy environment, the Tanzanian youth, targeted through the TVET project, will also gain from better quality in vocational education.

Tanzania - Governance and Economic Competitiveness Support Programme – Supplementary Financing. The proposed operation is an additional Budget Support Loan to the United Republic of Tanzania, which supplements the Governance and Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (GECSP), approved by the Board in December, 2011. The additional budget support resources will make available to the Government of Tanzania a concessional loan and grant from the African Development Fund (ADF) window for a total amount not exceeding UA 38.41 million. The goal of the supplemental financing, which is aligned with the GECSP, is to support reform efforts aimed at improving Tanzania’s business enabling environment and enhance private sector development. It specifically targets interventions geared towards improving the performance of the energy sector which is critical to attaining accessible, reliable and affordable power in Tanzania. This will ultimately help improve access to and reduce the cost of energy thereby impacting positively on private sector development and the business environment. The stated goal is in line with component 3 or GECSP, focusing on Improving private sector development.  The goal of the additional budget support is to support the Government of Tanzania’s efforts to fully implement the GECSP and related measures, particularly those related to component 3: Accelerated private sector development. It will specifically help government to improve access to reliable and affordable energy and improve the processes required for payment of taxes, both of which have a direct bearing on private sector development.  The beneficiaries of the additional budget support are the same as those of the GECSP, namely the Tanzanian population. Improved efficiency in payment of taxes and improved access to reliable and affordable energy will directly benefit entrepreneurs, and these will eventually translate into better service delivery and more efficient market mechanisms. Tanzanian entrepreneurs of all sizes will be better able to contribute to the country’s inclusive growth and development processes, by operating within a more conducive business environment with more effective electricity infrastructure and with less bureaucratic procedures.

Tanzania - Power Sector Reform and Governance Support Programme (PSRGSP). The proposed project is the first phase of the Power Sector Reform and Governance Support Programme (PSRGSP) in Tanzania. The PSRGSP is designed as a programmatic series of three consecutive general budget support operations (GBS) covering the three-year period 2014/15-2016/17, for a total indicative financing package of UA 100 million. The programme is a response to a request from GOT, dated March 2013, for the Bank to support its energy sector and PFM reform agenda. It builds on the Bank’s earlier Governance and Economic Competitiveness Support Programme (GECSP) Supplemental financing operation, approved by the Board in December 2013, for an amount of UA 38.41 million. The programme, has three components: (i) Strengthening the institutional framework and operational efficiency of the power sector  (ii) Enhancing competition and private sector participation in the power sector  and (iii) Improving governance through PFM reforms, with particular emphasis on strengthening procurement systems and reducing fiscal risks posed by parastatals.  The proposed operation aims at promoting inclusive growth and enhanced competitiveness through power sector reform and improved economic and financial governance. It aims to achieve this by addressing a major development challenge – the lack of adequate, reliable and affordable energy supply. The operational policy objective is to support on-going and planned GOT efforts to improve the operational efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability of the energy sector. It also aims to promote greater efficiency and effectiveness of the country’s PFM system, mainly by addressing weaknesses in procurement and debt management.  The direct beneficiaries of the programme include the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (Energy Division), TANESCO and EWURA. The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) will also benefit through support for improving public procurement. In addition, the Tanzanian people will benefit from significant improvements in electricity service delivery and improved access and lower tariffs in the medium to long term due to improved energy mix and elimination of more expensive emergency power. These benefits will impact particularly the poor and will, therefore, have positive social and gender pay-offs.

Tanzania - Institutional Support Project for Good Governance - Phase II. The proposed Institutional Support Project for Good Governance  phase II (ISPGG II) is designed to build enhanced capacity, accountability and integrity in the management of public resources, through (i) the strengthening of the capacity of integrity and accountability institutions and (ii) more effective economic policy management. The rationale for this second phase is based on the need to consolidate the gains attained in the first phase, particularly in terms of improving the rate of conformity to the Public Procurement Act. The project will have two main components: (A) Improving budget credibility and transparency  and (B) Enhancing economic policy management. Under the first component, the proposed project will build capacity in the areas of public procurement and audit  whereas in the second component the focus will be in building capacity within the area of managing the PFMRP and improving the business environment in general. The expected outcome under the first component is to improve tracking, monitoring and value for money in public procurement and audit  whereas the expected outcome under the second component is to attain more effective economic policy management.  The ultimate goal of the project is to improve transparency and accountability in public financial management in order to enhance the quality of budgetary and financial management and thus contribute to reduced fiscal deficit and, ultimately, economic growth. In this context, the project’s specific objective is to enhance the capacity, accountability and integrity in the management of public resources both in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar.  The direct project beneficiaries in the Tanzania Mainland MoFEA include the PFMRP Secretariat in MoFEA, the External Finance Department, Policy Analysis Department, the Budget Department and the Treasury (Internal Audit Office). Tanzania Mainland beneficiaries also include the PPRA, NAO PCCB, and the National Assembly, as well as related procurement and public finance entities in local governments. The Zanzibar beneficiaries also include Office of the Controller and Auditor General (OCAG), The Zanzibar Institute of Financial Administration (ZIFA), the House of Representatives, Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), and the Attorney General and the Judiciary. Ultimately the entire population is expected to benefit from the project.

Tanzania - Transport Sector Support Program. Transport Sector Support Program (TSSP) comprises interventions in roads, rail and air transport sub-sectors in the country. These interventions have been identified as transport sector priorities to support Tanzania’s economic development. The project has a wide coverage with interventions in the northwest, southwest and east of the country where  it  will  improve  access  to  schools,  health  facilities,  markets  and  other  social  amenities  thereby  further supporting inclusive growth. In  the roads  sub-sector,  it  is  intended  to  upgrade 410km of  gravel  roads  to  bitumen  standard  on  the  mainland  rehabilitate 31 km of paved roads and upgrade 21km of gravel roads to bitumen standard on Zanzibar Island and  conduct  feasibility  and  detailed  design  studies  of  roads  for  pipeline  development. In  the  railway  and  air transport sub-sectors, the project has study components to develop a Railway Master Plan  and the feasibility and  detailed  design  for  the  Msalato  Airport  in  Dodoma  and  Pemba  Airport in  Zanzibar,  combined  with Zanzibar Airport Master Plan studies. The  total  cost  of  the  project  amounts  to  UA 275.11 million to  be implemented over a five year period including the Defects Liability Period.  The  sector  goal  is  to  contribute  to  socio-economic  development,  poverty  reduction  and  regional integration through an improved transport system that links centres of economic activity. The project specific objective is to improve transport infrastructure in Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar to reduce vehicle operating costs and travel times on the target road links and to promote regional integration through improved transport services.  The immediate beneficiaries of  the project include  farming communities in  the Tabora, Katavi and  Ruvuma Regions of  northwest  and  southwestern  Tanzania Mainland where  about  90%  of  the  population  is  engaged  in  agriculture,  and  where  the road  network remains  relatively  underdeveloped  compared  to  the  rest  of  the  country. The road improvements will provide access to agricultural products in the regions and thereby spur growth in productivity. In Zanzibar, the road improvements will benefit communities engaged in the tourist and agriculture sectors. Under the Social  Infrastructure  component,  the  project  will  provide  sanitation  facilities  at  hospitals,  schools  and markets, fish drying  and bee keeping facilities, upgrade of  access roads to hospitals, and construct a jetty for fishing communities in Zanzibar.

Tanzania - The Kikonge Multipurpose Dam, Hydropower and Irrigation Project. The Feasibility Study for The Kikonge Multipurpose Dam, Hydropower and Irrigation Project will provide a response to the challenge facing the electricity sector in Tanzania. With the ultimate aim to reduce poverty and increase economic growth, the project, when the infrastructure is commissioned, will improve availability of water resources for irrigation and associated activities in the area and electricity generation and supply to the national grid. This study will cover the irrigation scheme, agro-business development, the dam and its reservoir and the associated hydropower plant and the high voltage transmission line. In addition, this study will also encompass water supply to local communities, local electricity supply through a mini hydro-power plant, fishing activities, tourism development and other uses of water for activities in the reservoir area (navigation, transport and water for mining).  The project includes the following components: 1) Prefeasibility study of the multipurpose project  2) Other studies and technical assistance including Climate Change Resilience Assessment  3) Strategic Social and Environmental Assessment studies. The estimated overall duration of the project is 22 months, including 15 months for the performance of the studies. The total cost is estimated at € 2,462,399.  The principal objectives of this project are to: Improve livelihood, social well-being and socio economic development through the Kikonge Multipurpose Dam - water resources mobilisation and development project for multiple uses: Irrigation, Hydroelectricity generation, Water supply, Fisheries and Tourism.  The direct beneficiaries of the study are the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives (MAFSC) and the National Irrigation Commission (NIC), the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and TANESCO the national electricity company. The implementation of this project will substantially benefit the populations in the area estimated at 15,000 inhabitants. It will also benefit the productive socio-economic actors in the various sectors of industry, agriculture, trade and tourism at the national level.

Tanzania - Institutional Support Project for Good Governance - Phase Three (ISPGG III). The project builds upon Bank-supported capacity building and PFM reforms in Tanzania, and complements DPs’ interventions. The proposed operation will contribute to addressing weaknesses in PFM and the business environment, and intensifying and sustaining capacity building efforts in Tanzania. It will support efforts geared towards enhancing capacity, accountability and integrity in the management of public resources by key oversight and economic/finance institutions. It will also help the fight againts corruption  the streamlining of business registration and licensing processes and operationalising the PPP framework. The project has two components: (i) Enhancing the Effectiveness of Public Financial Management and (ii) Creating an Enabling Environment for Private Investments.

The proposed project falls within the framework of the Government’s national food security programme, the aim of which is to guarantee food availability and access to all citizens of Cape Verde.  It also fits in with the Bank’s strategy to reduce rural poverty in its member countries. The pilot phasis should contribute to identifying and solving the major constraints facing agriculture, thus increasing Cape Verde’s food production.  In that regard, the project provides for testing improved methods in the following priority areas: (i) irrigated crop systems  (ii) family livestock systems  and (iii) strengthening beneficiary capacity.  The planned strategies and actions should, through operational tests on farmers’ plots, highlight the technical and human constraints with a view to finding possible solutions to agricultural production and food security problems. The pilot project will be implemented over three years with a total cost estimated at UA 1.30 million.  The sectoral objective of the pilot project is to improve food security.  The pilot project aims specifically at testing and evaluating existing improved technology in Cape Verde to encourage their acceptance by farmers.  All farmers and traditional breeders at sites selected are the project’s target population.  However, a sample of 132 pilot farmers will be chosen for demonstration purposes, of which 92 micro-irrigation farmers and 40 small-scale breeders.  Equal opportunity will be given to individual men and women farmers or breeders, irrigation scheme user associations or groups.  In any case, as women make up 53% of the farming population, they are the pilot project’s main focus.

Cape-Verde - Picos and Engenhos Watershed Development and Valorization Project on Santiago Island (PAVBVPE).

The study should mainly benefit the Ministry of Fisheries and the fishermen in fine.

DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL D'ASOMADA. Le projet a pour objectif l'intensification du développement agricole dans la partie supérieure des bassins des rivières Engenhos et Boa Entrada.

Cape Verde - New Praia Airport Construction Project. The New Praia Airport Construction Project is designed due to the inadequacy of the airport's current infrastructure capacity and equipment condition. Indeed, this situation constitutes a real obstacle to the development of the southern part of the country, which includes the islands of Santiago, Fogo, Brava and Maio. The construction of this airport in Praia, which is sized to the standards of a medium-carrier aircraft, should remove the current constraints on traffic handling and contribute effectively to the development of the country's southern region. The project consists of the following four components: A) construction of movement areas, a passenger terminal, a control tower and a technical block, freight and post buildings, a hangar and various networks  B) supply and installation of equipment for the terminal, the control tower and the technical block, freight and post buildings, the power plant, the VOR/DME and computer equipment  C) control and supervision of work and (D) studies and training.  The sectoral objective of the project is to create the infrastructure necessary for the country's development and sub-regional integration. Its specific objectives are: increase air traffic handling capacity and improve safety conditions  and to promote tourism and exports.  The direct beneficiaries are the populations of the project area, namely: islands of Santiago, Fogo, Brava and Maio. In addition, the socio-economic benefits of the project cover the national territory of Cape Verde.

Tanzania - Kakono Hydropower Project. The proposed 87.8-megawatt (MW) Kakono Hydropower Project (HPP) is one of the energy sectoral interventions under the “economic growth” pillar of FYDP III to realize an inclusive and competitive economy by increasing the generation capacity to improve the availability and reliability of electricity supply. The Kakono HPP, together with the ongoing and planned projects in the north-western part of the country, will contribute to increased renewable energy production, thereby displacing the costly diesel generators while, at the same time, improving TANESCO’s financial health. It will also address the deficits of electricity particularly in Kagera, Geita and Mwanza regions in the Lake Zone. Specifically, the Project will complement the Bank-financed Regional Rusumo Falls hydropower transmission line projects and other related Development Partner (DP) operations in the north-western part of the country, thereby contributing to multi-country infrastructure connectivity to promote cross-border power trade. The Project will entail the construction of a concrete-faced rockfill dam (about 42 m high and 1,380 m long) and a gravity roller-compacted concrete dam (about 61 m high and 284 m long) producing a hydropower potential exploited through an outdoor powerhouse at the toe of the dam. The overall Project cost is estimated at USD 308.85 million, including contingencies but excluding local taxes and levies such as overweight road transportation surcharges, etc.  The project development objective is “to increase on-grid energy production from least cost renewables to address the electricity deficits in north-western Tanzania.” The development of Kakono HPP will displace the use of fossil fuels in the north-western corner of Tanzania in the Lake Zone where costly diesel power generators are often brought online to either supplement the grid supply or improve the quality of supply to avoid prolonged blackouts and brownouts.  The proposed Kakono hydropower plant, approximately 90 km west of Bukoba Municipality in the north-western corner of Tanzania, will be situated downstream of the three sites, namely, Rusumo, Murongo/Kikagati and Nsongezi along the Kagera River. Besides the large electricity consumers who will benefit from the improved supply reliability, the key beneficiaries include the general population in the Lake Zone. Taking into consideration the energy consumption patterns alongside the gender-disaggregated percentage of the population using grid electricity as the main source of lighting as well as the corresponding average monthly consumption patterns, it is expected that the Kakono power plant will provide green energy to nearly 210,000 households (of which 30 percent will be female headed) thereby playing a significant role in increasing the electricity connectivity rate in the Lake Zone. Apart from the electricity consumers, the Project will create employment opportunities. It is expected that about 1,000 temporary job opportunities will be created during the six-year implementation phase in addition to the 100 permanent jobs pertaining to the operational phase.

Tanzania - Economic Competitiveness and Social Inclusion Programme (ECSIP) - Phase I. The proposed operation is an ADB loan to the United Republic of Tanzania of US$107.8 million to finance the Economic Competitiveness and Social Inclusion Programme (ECSIP). ECSIP aims to support Tanzania’s post-COVID-19 economic recovery, which is threatened by spillovers from the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on energy and food prices. It is the first in a 2-year programmatic series, for the fiscal years 2022/23 and 2023/24. The proposed ECSIP deepens reforms that were introduced through Tanzania’s COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program (2020-2021), and previous Bank financed Good Governance and Private Sector Development Programme Phases I and II (2018-2020). The programme is organised under three components which are complementary and mutually reinforcing: (i) Attaining Fiscal Sustainability  (ii) Private Sector Competitiveness and Climate smart Industrial Development Strengthened  (iii) Enhancing Socio-economic Inclusion. Eventually, the reforms envisaged under this operation will lead to a more efficient and sustainable use of fiscal resources and will create a more conducive climate for entrepreneurs to operate job creating, and value-adding enterprises. This operation builds on the Bank’s vast experience in supporting budget support operations in Tanzania in the areas of private sector development, and broader issues of economic competitiveness.  The overarching development objective of the programme is to promote green and resilient recovery by fostering improved economic governance, industrial competitiveness, and reinforcing social inclusion. ECSIP will support GoT to maintain macroeconomic stability to promote economic growth while pursuing reforms that will enhance domestic revenue mobilization, strengthen PFM systems, deepen industrial development (including green practices) and enhance business competitiveness. The programme is also conceived to benefit vulnerable youth and women through reforms that will reinforce the country’s socio-economic frameworks.  The programme’s direct beneficiaries include Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP)  Ministry of Industry and Trade  Prime Minister's Office – Labour, Youth, Employment and Persons with Disabilities  Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups, Revenue Authority  and Public Procurement Regulatory Authority. In both Mainland Tanzania, and in Zanzibar, the private sector will benefit from improved business and investment opportunities while entrepreneurs in the formal and informal sectors will benefit from job opportunities. The programme will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of Tanzania nationally as enhanced fiscal performance will help to expand fiscal space for development and pro-poor spending, and climate-sensitive sector reforms will help to attract private investments for green industrialization, growth and job creation.

Tanzania - Food Systems Supply Services in Rural Tanzania (F3SRT) -Baridi Sokoni. This project relates to Food Systems Supply Services in Rural Tanzania (F3SRT) “Baridi Sokoni”. It aims to increase smallholder farmers’ horticultural production and marketing in the context of negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic. This means that the targeted smallholder farmers would be enabled, through project interventions, to improve their efficiency in farm operations thereby substantially increasing volumes and quality of their crop produce per unit area. In the long run, it is expected that these benefits will impact widely peer farmers, hence benefiting more agricultural communities and the country as a whole. The Project will also help achieve the Bank’s policy commitments under ADF-16 regarding: (1) building resilience and tackling fragility  (2) accelerating climate and nature-based solutions and biodiversity  (3) increasing quality, sustainable infrastructure  and (4) people and institutions for delivering capacity to promote inclusive and sustainable growth. It has three (3) components, namely: (i) Scaling up production and productivity  (ii) Enhancing value addition and marketing  and (ii) Project management and coordination.  The project development objective is to increase smallholder farmers’ horticultural production and marketing in the context of negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic. Specific objectives that will lead to the achievement of this development objective are: (i) increase adoption rates of sustainable agricultural technologies and practices (ii) enhance value addition and marketing of horticultural crops grown by smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth  and (iii) increase access to reliable and profitable markets.  The project targets five horticultural value chains, notably spices (cloves, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, garlic), tomatoes, green peas, green beans and potatoes. The total number of direct beneficiaries is about 10,000 smallholder horticultural value chain actors, five (5) wholesale markets for storage enhancement using cold storage, and six (6) local businesses. The project target beneficiaries include 65% women (40% adult women 35-50 years and 25% young women 15-35 years) and 35% men (15% adult men and 20% young men 15-35 years) cultivating less than 5 acres of the target value chains. The direct beneficiaries will also include 400 unemployed youth who will be engaged in various horticulture value chain activities. A total of about 25,000 smallholder actors engaged in horticulture value chains are expected to indirectly benefit from the Project.

TANZANIA - Tanzania Agricultural Development Bank, Phase II. This operation consists of ADB Sovereign loan of USD 66 million (UA 50 million) consisting of an appeal by the Government of Tanzania (GoT) to the AfDB for support to enhance the capital of Tanzania Agriculture Development Bank (TADB). TADB is a government-owned Development Finance Institution (DFI) established with the primary objective of facilitating the provision of financial and non-financial products and services to the agricultural sector in Tanzania.  The objective of this proposal is to enhance TADB’s capital to enhance inclusive access to finance in the agriculture sector, improve agricultural productivity and raise household income. The specific objectives are to: (i) facilitate broad-based economic growth through job creation, poverty alleviation, productivity increase, and enhanced household incomes  and (ii) enhance efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, expansion of agricultural value chains (including where women and youth are most active) and bolster the financing of the agriculture sector through access to finance.  The project will benefit the entire Tanzanian population, particularly farmers, SMEs and industries operating in the agri-food sector. By enhancing the capital of TADB, the project will enhance its continuous efforts to support business opportunities and decent employment youth along priority agricultural value chains.

Rwanda - Byumba Agricultural Development Project Phase II. Phase II of the Byumba Region Agricultural Development Project seeks not only to consolidate and improve the achievements of the first phase but will also extend its mandate to new areas of the prefecture that are not yet affected by the project. The project will operate in eleven of the seventeen municipalities in Byumba Prefecture, compared to seven in the first phase, covering an area of 1,200 km2. While the first phase of the Byumba development project has, to some extent, met expectations, the second phase is justified for two important reasons. First, this second phase will increase food production by intensifying production systems that should lead to higher yields  second, it will prevent soil degradation and erosion. The project therefore aims to draw lessons from the results of the first phase to consolidate the achievements. Phase II of the project will be completed in five years.  The project aims to improve the economic conditions of the rural population in the project area in a sustainable way. In particular, it aims to increase agricultural production in the project area and especially at the level of the poorest farmers, to increase economic opportunities for those who do not have land or who do not have sufficient land, through land allocation and the promotion of non-agricultural employment, to strengthen voluntary associations in the project area and to encourage environmental protection through the development of terraces and other measures.  It is expected that by the end of the implementation period, 35% of households will have adopted the new agricultural production technologies that the project will promote. The project will promote these 27,000 or so households with about 147 to people, increasing their food security and family income. A total of 881 families, or almost 5000 people, will be settled in the Warufu Marsh area.

Multinational - The Bugesera Integrated Rural Development Project (A PPF to Rwanda). The present intervention relates to the preparation of the Bugesera Integrated Rural Development Project (a PPF to Rwanda). It's initiated because of the need, in order to guarantee good quality for the project at entry, to prepare the final designs of the marshland development works and conduct a feasibility study on the development of the areas to be irrigated from cross-border lakes during the project preparation process. The studies should, during project appraisal, provide good cost estimates of the scheduled works. The marshland development studies should include an environmental and social impact assessment. More specifically, this intervention should ultimately allow: (i) preparing the final designs for the development of marshlands in the two countries and evaluating the cost of the works  (ii) conducting an evaluation of the economic rate of return of these developments, as well as an environmental and social impact assessment  (iii) proposing technical solutions for the development of lake water irrigation in the project area.  The sector goal of the project is to reduce poverty in Bugesera region. Its specific objective is to sustainably increase agricultural production and improve the living conditions of the populations in Bugesera region.  The main beneficiaries of this intervention are: the Rwandan Government and the actors in charge of rural development.

Rwanda - Feasibility study for a lime and/or crushed travertine production project. The proposed feasibility study should enable the Government of Rwanda and its potential partners to decide whether or not to invest in the implementation of the lime and/or crushed travertine production project. The study will be carried out in two (2) phases and addresses the following main points: (i) confirmation and classification of reserves of Rwandan travertine deposits  (ii) Study of the local market for lime and crushed travertine  (iii) definition of a lime and/or travertine production project  (iv) institutional, economic and financial evaluation of the project  (v) environmental assessment of the project.  The objective of the study is to examine in detail the possibility of producing, from local travertine deposits, lime for Rwandan agriculture, the construction and water treatment industry and ground travertines for soil improvement.  The main beneficiary is the Government of Rwanda. The first concern of these national authorities, through the development of such a project, is to give Rwandan farmers the opportunity to effectively combat the acidity of their cropland.

Study for the development of peat deposits. The objectives of the proposed study is to carry out a detailed final master plan feasibility study, which will (i) establish a reliable inventory of the peat reserves to form a basis of informa- tion for the future use   (ii) identify and delineate all the major peatlands by classifying them on the basis of quality and quantity (iii) to select the most promising peatlands and finally (iv) to identify possible project (s) and assess their techno-economic  viability. The objective of these projects would be to :  a)  increase peat fuel production in the country by developing     peat reserves in order to partially recuce the import of     petroleum products and replace the consuption of firewood and     charcoal fuel for domestic and industrial use by dry peat sods     and briquets (torblites) or in any other possible forms    b)  eventually promote regional development and increase the con-     tribution of the peat sector to the national economy by gene-     rating more income, employment and saving foreign exchange and     finally    c)  use peatlands unsuitable for commercial peat extraction for      agricultural purposes.

PROJET D'APPUI INSTITUTIONNEL A LA GESTION DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT (PAIGER). The design of the Environmental Management Institutional Support Project in Rwanda results from ana analysis of environmental problems following the major population movements and their settlement in the forest ares and the drought that affected some parts of the country. It draws from the objectives set out in the programme to reduce poverty in Rwanda. More specifically, the project aims to build Rwanda’s institutional capacity to manage the environment. Accordingly, the project will diagnose the environmental situation, put in place an environmental information system and train staff of the structures responsible for the environment, the Directorate of Environmental Protection, in particular. In its approach, the project gives priority to local-level participation spotlighting the motivation and commitment of the authorities though an involvement in project implementation. To carry out its activities, the project comprises the following components: (i) capacity building, (ii) creation of database and (iii) project management.  The project’s sector goal is the sustainable management of natural resources and a better protection of environment. The project has targeted the following objectives: (i) building the institutional capacity of the Directorate of Environmental Protection by training its officers and providing equipment and technical assistance  and (ii) creating a database equipped with an environmental information and statistics system (SISE).  The project beneficiaries are rural and are in particular, professional organizations, men and women’s associations as well as individual producers who will benefit from a more effective supervision from State departments and NGOs through training and sensitization workshops. In addition, the Government departments in charge of environmental management, especially the protection will also benefit from project activities.

Rwanda - Road Infrastructure Project. The Road Infrastructure Project is designed to contribute to the attainment of objectives defined in the transport sector policy which aims in priority, at preserving existing infrastructure. It’s in particular the rehabilitation of the country’s roads and bridges which have not been maintained for about ten years or which were destroyed during the war and genocide from 1990 to 1994. The areas concerned are located in the provinces of Cyangugu, Kibungo and Kigali-Ngali, where rural and inter-urban connections are among the most difficult in the country following the socio-political crisis and the torrential rains of 1997 and 1998. The project comprises five components which are the following: (i) works  (ii) monitoring of works, iii) road studies  iv) capacity building and awareness and v) project management. Through these different components, the project will help reduce poverty, in particular by opening up farm and industrial production areas, improve accessibility to basic social and administrative structures (hospitals, schools, administrations, etc).  The project’s sectoral goal is to: i) contribute to improving the level of priority road networks’ general services  disenclave the country, internally and externally, for sub-regional integration with the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Burundi and ensure economic rehabilitation and ii) support the Government in its post-graduate training policy and HIV/AIDS control. The project’s specific objectives are to: i) reduce transport costs, ii) disenclave areas of farm and industrial production located in the provinces of Cynagugu, Kibungo and Kigali-Ngali, iii) improve living conditions of riparian populations and their level of awareness of HIV/AIDS, road security and environmental protection and iv) Roads Department capacity building.  The project area comprises 604 000 inhabitants who will be the initial beneficiaries of project output. This population, which has been gradually reconstituted after the return of refugees to the country thanks to a national reconciliation and territorial securement policy, is made up of about 50% of youths between 15 and 20 years of age, including some orphans.

Rwanda - Gitarama-Ngororero-Mukamira Road Project. The Gitarama-Ngororero-Mukamira Road Project forms part of the priority road network of Rwanda and constitutes a key link in the Kigali-Gitarama-Mukamira Road. Its rehabilitation features in the Government’s priorities for the development of the Northern Region. The project doesn’t involve the construction of a new road, but rather the improvement of an existing road. Indeed, the Gitarama-Ngororero-Mukamira road, 102.6 km long, has many defects (ravelling, peeling, combing, potholes, subsidence, transversal and longitudinal cracks, distortions and rutting, serrated banks, etc.) with highly unstable embankments and structure of the fill. Furthermore, it has an inadequate drainage system (blocked culverts, ducts or ditches). The main outputs expected from the project are: a) 102.6 km of paved road in good condition, between Gitarama and Mukamira and 76 km of improved feeder roads  b) Putting in place of a road database  c) Equipment for road database, and equipment for laboratory and in-situ testing, procured, put in place and operating  d) Technical and operational capacities of the Roads Department(RD) strengthened and   e) About 15,000 persons in the project area sensitized about problems relating to road safety, environmental protection, waterborne diseases (diarrhoea and malaria), and STDs including HIV/AIDS.  The sector goal is to open up the rural areas, promote economic growth and sub-regional integration by improving the level of service of the transport infrastructure. Specifically, the project aims at: (i) improving the living conditions of the rural communities of the Gitarama and Gisenyi Provinces with the opening up of the agropastoral and industrial areas  and (ii) building of technical and institutional capacities of the Roads Department.  Women, children below 15 years and the elderly of 65 years and over (about 4.5%) who form the bulk of this category are the main beneficiaries of the project.

Rwanda - The Butare-Kitabi-Ntendezi Road Project. The Butare-Kitabi-Ntendezi tarred national road project (115 km) falls within the framework of implementation of the priority programme to improve its road network which supports the productive sectors in Rwanda. This classified road, which is part of primary road network, links the capital, Kigali, to the West and South of the country. It is an international highway, which is also the main access road to the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the supply of most food and manufactured products to Bukavu Region. The investment requirements for this project stem from the current situation of difficult movement on the road which serves a large population. The state of the road requires that it be adapted to demand needs in order to ensure quality service. The project covers: (A) periodic maintenance of Butare-Kitabi section (53km) which is currently in an average state, and rehabilitation of Kitabi-Crête Congo Nil- Ntendezi section (62 km) which is currently in very bad state  (B) associated facilities, including the development of 30 km of rural roads, and the protection/rehabilitation of about ten education and health centres  and (C) institutional support and project management. The duration of implementation is 43 months (April 2009 to October 2012). The total cost, exclusive of taxes and duties (ETD), of the entire project is estimated at UA 46.74 million.  The project seeks to facilitate the movement of goods and people along the Butare-Kitabi-Ntendezi road, and improve the living conditions of the people in the project area (PA). Specifically, the project will help to: (i) reduce overall transport costs  (ii) improve access to basic social services and to production and marketing centres  and (iii) increase opportunities for commercial activities.  The project beneficiaries are estimated at about 1.9 million people, that is 19% of Rwanda’s population. They are made up of inhabitants of the project area (PA) mainly road users, the rural populations (farmers and stockbreeders) and traders. The outcomes expected by the beneficiaries include better movement of goods and people, reduction of overall transport costs, and improved access to basic social services.

The Project will have an estimated 4,838 direct beneficiaries (51% women and 28% youth), about 270,711 indirect beneficiaries in multiple communities in the targeted localities, most of which are enclaved rural areas with limited economic activity. It will leverage on the Company’s existing operations and infrastructure in the gum arabic, mango and meat value chains to deliver customized training and capacity building activities. The Project will help address key constraints faced by end beneficiaries, i.e., low skills and knowledge required for agricultural production (including climate smart production), lack of inputs needed for cultivation and access to markets.

Rwanda - National Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Program (Phase II). Unlike the agricultural, education and health sectors, there was not as yet a sector budget support (SWAP) as financing instrument for the water and sanitation sector in Rwanda. However, the Government has commissioned a World Bank-funded study to explore ways and means of gaining access to a sector SWAP. Once the study is completed, the findings will be discussed by the Government and all the technical and financial partners for ultimate validation and definition of their conditions of implementation. Consequently, the financing mechanism jointly adopted could be applied for the next financing phases of the national programme (PNEAR). This present sub-programme will use the mechanisms already existing in the country that were also used for PNEAR Phase I.  This sub-programme objective is to enable total access to drinking water for the rural populations by 2020  the new orientations of the Government’s sector policy that seeks optimal use of water resources and adequate access to water and sanitation services for all. Some of the key pillars give priority to access to adequate services and sanitation for the populations, as well as the use of water to promote income-generating activities to alleviate poverty.  The beneficiaries of the sub-programme are the populations of 15 districts of the three provinces of the North, West and South, representing a total of 5.05 million inhabitants out of the 9.7 million in the country.

Uganda - Roof Catchment Rainwater Harvesting and Management. The Roof Water Harvesting and Management Project in response to the national agenda that calls on government partners to provide relief to the most water stressed parts of the country through implementation of low cost technologies. It is anchored on the realization that the full benefits of RWH can only be realized where the attributes of this high value scarce resource are understood and it is consequently managed with this perspective. The project shall conduct education and sensitisation activities that target effective management of the harvested water resource so typically characterised by seasonal scarcity. Implementation of the project shall be at sub-county level. Rainwater harvesting facilities shall be constructed at institutions (schools, health units, administration centres) and homesteads. It is expected that, with proper management of storage, the system will provide safe water to the households for a longer period beyond the dry spells than has hitherto been the case, and therefore eventually guarantee supply all year round. It will serve as a learning ground for management of rainwater harvesting systems that are existing and those to be built and lessons learnt will be replicated in other areas.  The project aims at, on the one hand, increasing water supply, improving sanitation and protecting the environment at household and institutional levels, and most importantly on the other hand it aims to demonstrate how RWH can be optimally used as means to alleviate the shortage in water supply in water scarce areas – with proper management.  Both households and institutions (schools, health units, administration centres) will benefit from this project. More specifically, the main beneficiaries from the project include: Women and children through saving on time spent to collect water.

While addressing policy reforms in these areas, the loan will contribute to bridging the external financial of Zambia in 2001 and 2002.  The beneficiaries of the programme are the Zambian Government and the entire population.

Zambia - Fourth Poverty Reduction Budget Support (PRBS IV). The Fourth Poverty Reduction Budget Support (PRBS IV) programme aims to sustain and deepens reforms that were supported by the Bank‘s previous three budget support operations (PRBS I, II, and III). These programme’s reforms are designed to assist the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) in its efforts to move beyond satisfactory overall economic growth rates. The present one focuses on implementation of the PFM reforms initiated by the previous operations and introduces improvements in revenue mobilisation (through increased compliance by mining companies with their tax obligations) and inclusive growth (i.e. investing in operations with a human development focus, ensuring more efficiency and accountability of public expenditure to increase value for money in social service provision, and avail appropriate social protection to the vulnerable segments of society). It will address issues of inclusive growth through increased public sector efficiency and transparency, as well as effective access to social services. The PRBS-IV is articulated around two components, namely: (i) Improve the efficiency and transparency of public financial management (PFM) and increase revenue mobilisation  and (ii) Enhancing access to social services. The first component consolidates and deepens the public sector governance reforms supported by the Bank‘s previous PRBS interventions. The second component focuses on providing access to key social services in the areas of health (immunization and operational grants at the district level) and water.  The overall goal of this operation is to achieve sustained, broad-based and inclusive growth and contribute to poverty reduction. The purpose is to create fiscal space for pro-poor development policies and step up access to social services like water and health to a larger share of the population.  Beneficiaries will include the entire population of Zambia, due to the broad reform agenda and emphasis on public financial management and on social services. The targets for access to social services set in the second component of the programme will benefit specific segments of the population, like those in poor rural areas and mothers / children.

Uganda - Extension to Owen Falls Generating Station. The Owen Falls Generating Station extension Project aims at developing Uganda’s hydroelectric resources. The proposed Owen Falls extension by 5x40 MW generating units (although only two will be installed in the first stage), will provide urgently needed least cost capacity addition to Uganda's power generation and transmission facilities. It will continue and build upon the on-going sub-sector rehabilitation project that aims to foster economic development by providing adequate and reliable electric energy to satisfy all the productive sectors of the economy. The existing Owen Falls Power Station is presently being upgraded from its original 150 MW to 180 MW, but even then the capacity is insufficient to meet the Ugandan demand and to export to Kenya the full obligations under the terms of the 1988 modified agreement. When in commercial operation in 1997, the Owen Falls Extension will provide much needed additional generation capacity.  The purpose of the project is to construct a new power station on the right bank of the river Nile some 800 meter below the existing dam. More specifically, the project aims at the immediate and cost-effective development of additional electricity generation and transmission capacity to meet the country's energy demand. The main expected results of the project are an additional capacity of 120 MW (three 40 MW groups) and a 132 kV transmission line between Jinja and Kampala.  The project would stimulate the country's economic growth and development and would directly benefit economic operators and individual users.

Uganda - Olweny Swamp Rice Irrigation Project. The Olweny Swamp Rice Irrigation Project covers a gross irrigation perimeter of about 1,016 ha in the western part of the lower reaches of the Olweny Swamp, bisected from east to west by the Soroti - Agwata - Lira highway. The planned net irrigated area was 800 ha, of which 120 ha would serve as a nucleus, research, training and demonstration farm and the remaining 780 ha as a supervised smallholder farm area. With increasing urbanisation, propensity to rice consumption and the increasing rice importation foreign exchange bill, local increase in rice production aimed at import substitution, among other benefits, is a desirable agricultural development priority. The project will have substantial favourable income redistribution effects in favour of small farmers and agricultural labourers in Lira district, a relatively underdeveloped area in Uganda. This is one measure in implementing such a policy decision. It will also help in reducing regional economic inbalances, as well as poverty in the project area, in particular, and in the region in general. The project will be implemented over a five year period.  The principal objectives of the project are to: i) achieve self-sufficiency in rice  ii) increase rural employment and income  and iii) effect inter and inter-regional income redistribution.  The project will beneffit an estimated 800 farm families each with holdings of between 1 to 1.5 ha of irrigated farm area, with target yields of about 4.5 tonnes per ha. The project will directly benefit 544 small farmers and raise their family income and employment. It will also provide additional employment and income to hitherto unemployed agricultural workers throughout the year.

Uganda - Seed Industry Rationalisation Project. The proposed project will help Uganda to increase agricultural production and thus improve the supply of food to the population, raw materials for agro-processing industries and foreign exchange earnings through more and better quality agricultural exports. It will also improve the incomes of out grower farmers in the Masindi area. The need for improved seed is Central to the development of Agriculture in Uganda. The project will support the rationalisation of the national seed industry. One of the major downstream beneficiaries of the project will be the oilseed processing industry which, due to poor and irregular oilseed supply, is currently operating at only 10% capacity to supplies less than 2% of national consumption. Oil seed production from the project will be sufficient to cover 350,000 hectares over the life of the project, and these seeds, particularly sesame, sunfolwer and groundnut, will have a hgh oil content. The increased volume of locally produced vegetable oil resulting from the project will reduce the amount of of edible oil currently imported into Uganda. The project will also result in the production of a large quantity of crop seed (maize and sorghum), the performance of which will be a considerable improvement over existing crop seed.  The overall objective of the project is to increase the production of food crops in Uganda in order to improve both the national food security and house hold nutritional status. In order to achieve this goal the project will increase the production of maize sorghum soyahearns, groundnut, sesame and sunflower seeds. The first two are the principal cereals and the others are the oilseed crops being grown in Uganda.  One of the major downstream beneficiaries of the project will be the oilseed processing industry. The increased oilseed and food crop production will contribute to the overall national goal of more diversified agricultural and export production, resulting in increased smallholder cash incomes and increased stability of earnings from agriculture. The project will also contribute to the goal of improving the nutritional status of the population. It will improve the incomes of out grower farmers in the Masindi area.

Ranch Rehabilitation (P). The project output amounting to about 60,000 tonnes of white sugar at full capacity production would alleviate the acute shortages now prevalent in the country.Thus the project output together with the output expected from other units in the country could go entirely to the satisfaction of local demand. Although the sugar industry is generally fairly capital intensive factory-wise,the plantation requires large numbers of workers especially for harvesting. SCOUL will employ about 6,000 people and assuming a dependency ratio of 5 to 1, some 30,000 people will be indirectly supported.

Uganda - National Livestock Productivity Improvement Project (NLPIP). The National Livestock Productivity Improvement Project (NLPIP) is one of the Government of Uganda’s interventions under the Livestock Industry designed to contribute to the overall government policy of poverty reduction to attain the UN Millennium Development Goals for the country. The intervention is specifically necessary to restock these districts and in general increase agricultural productivity of poor households  provide productive assets to poor farmers  and improve nutritional and food security of poor rural households. In addition it is necessary to improve the enabling environment for livestock development and empower poor rural households, particularly women and the disadvantaged, for them to manage their resources better. The expected impacts is improved food and nutrition security  increased disposable incomes, creation of income generating activities  creation of employment to local people, improved living standards of rural people, and poverty reduction.  The Project objective was to increase household incomes of participating livestock farmers in the cattle corridor through increased livestock productivity and marketing.  The Project’s primary beneficiaries were poor rural households, that is, small and medium scale farmers including women and other vulnerable groups involved in livestock production, livestock traders and consumers in the cattle corridor.

Uganda - Area-Based Agriculture Modernisation Programme. The Area-Based Agricultural Modernisation Programme (AAMP) in Uganda follow-on to the erstwhile Southwest Region Agricultural Rehabilitation Project which was co-financed by IFAD and the World Bank. The operation is considered as part of the strategy for implementing GOU's Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture (PMA). As a strategy for agricultural modernisation, the implementation of AAMP will lead to an increased agricultural productivity, production and income in ten districts of South West Uganda, through: (i) use of improved technologies, including irrigation  (ii) access to credit and other farm inputs  and (iii) improvement of rural infrastructures, particularly feeder roads. Through support for the rehabilitation of feeder roads, in addition to improving access to market and reducing transportation costs of farm inputs and outputs, the programme will open up other income-generating opportunities for rural communities, particularly for women engaged in craft works, and better access to health and educational facilities. The total programme cost is estimated at UA 22.47 million. It will be implemented over six years.  The overall sector goal of the proposed programme is to contribute to poverty reduction among rural households in the programme area. The specific objective of the programme is to increase programme area households’ income.  The programme will directly benefit over 300,000 households or about 1.5 million rural persons, some of which are headed by women who in most cases provide much of the labour.

Uganda - Farm Income Enhancement and Forest Conservation Project. The Farm Income Enhancement and Forest Conservation Project is designed to support Government’s Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture. This plan aimed at increasing incomes and improving the quality of life of poor subsistence farmers and their household. It also aims to ensure food security, provide gainful employment and promote sustainable use and management of natural resources. The project will direct its efforts towards using small-scale irrigation facilities and improved soil fertility management practices, to produce and market high value crops. In addition, the project will conserve and protect the environment through strengthening watershed management using well established structures at national, district, sub-county, village/community levels. It will address deforestation and problems of natural resources degradation. The project comprises three components, namely: i) Forestry Support, with two sub-components (Community Watershed Management  and Tree Planting)  ii) Agricultural Enterprise Development, with four sub-components (Soil Fertility Management  Small Scale Irrigation and Crop Development  Apiculture Promotion  and Agricultural Marketing)  and iii) Project Coordination and Management.  The sector goal is to contribute to poverty reduction. The objective of the project is to improve incomes, rural livelihoods and food security, through sustainable natural resources management and agricultural enterprise development.  The project’s main target is resource poor farmers. This project will avail them opportunities for their income enhancement. The Forestry Support Component will be implemented in 33 districts and will provide direct benefits to 33,000 households. Beneficiaries will include communities living adjacent to the reserves, farmers adopting agro-forestry practices, as well as service providers and Government officials who will be trained on sustainable conservation and tree planting practices.

Uganda - The Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Project-I (MATIP-I). The Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Project – I (MATIP-I) aims at the construction of twenty-one (21) markets in Municipal/Town Councils (including Kampala city) located in 19 districts of all four regions of Uganda. The need for the construction of the central and auxiliary markets is predicated by the recommendations of the Feasibility Study that was commissioned by the Government of Uganda (GOU) in March 2008 to review and assess the infrastructural and operational state of the markets across the country. The findings of the study were indicative of a poorly managed, dilapidated and overwhelmed market infrastructure, resulting in a poor working environment nationwide. All markets were found to be overpopulated with vendors well beyond their carrying capacities and lacking in many basic amenities, including toilets, drainage and sewage systems. The Project comprises three major components namely: i) Market Infrastructure Development, ii) Market Management and Agricultural Trade Enhancement (including Capacity Building)  and iii) Project Management and Coordination. It will be implemented over five years (2009-2014) and is estimated to cost UA 42.22 million. Its implementation will lead to increased marketing / sales activities, cross-border trade and accelerated regional integration on a larger scale.  The overall sector goal is to contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth in Uganda through enhanced marketing of agricultural produce and other merchandise. The specific objective is to improve marketplace economic and social infrastructure thus inducing incremental production and marketing of agricultural commodities, enhancing the incomes of vendors, increasing employment and increasing customer satisfaction.  The primary beneficiaries of the project will be the 16,600 vendors whose numbers are expected to rise to over 22,000 after reconstruction of the markets. It is estimated that over 900,000 households (approximately 4.5 million people) within the catchment of the markets will benefit directly or indirectly from the project. According to the Socio-Economic Gender Disaggregated Profile conducted by the Project Feasibility Study, approximately 150,000 to 200,000 household will be headed by women. Vendor Associations (VAs) and Market Management Committees (MMCs), will partner the respective Municipal/Town Councils (MC/TC) to manage the reconstructed markets. The markets when operational will benefit several other smallholder farmers with improved price margins.

Uganda - Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Programme: Project – 2 (MATIP-2). The Markets and Agricultural Trade Improvement Project (MATIP) aims to boost markets in 21 municipalities and urban communities in Uganda. This intervention is based on the findings of a feasibility study commissioned by the Government of Uganda, in March 2008, to review and assess local markets’ infrastructure and functional status across the country. The study concluded that markets  throughout Uganda are poorly managed, in a state of disrepair and overcrowded with merchants, which far outnumber their capacity. On the basis of this observation and following a request from the Government of Uganda, the African Development Bank approved a loan of UA 108 million in 2009 to finance the project’s first phase (MATIP-I). MATIP-I enabled the Government to rebuild seven major modern markets in Kampala, Jinja, Mbale, Gulu, Lira, Hoima, and Fort Portal. MATIP-II is therefore an extension of MATIP-I and involves the reconstruction of 11 additional markets. This second phase focuses on improving marketplace infrastructure, adding value and facilitating trade (including capacity building) in nine municipalities and two urban communities located in the four regions of the country, namely Entebbe (Kitoro), Masaka, Mbarara, Arua, Moroto (Lopedru), Soroti and Tororo on the one hand, and Kasese, Busia, Kitgum and Lugazi, on the other hand. MATIP II will be executed over five years (2015-2020) at an estimated cost of USD 93.73 million.  The project's overall goal is to contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth in Uganda through improved selling of farm produce and other commodities. The specific objective is to improve marketplace economic and social infrastructure, so as to stimulate production and sales of basic agricultural produce, promote merchants’ growth income, reduce post-harvest losses, and increase job creation and customer satisfaction.  The main beneficiaries will be the 16,951 currently registered vendors (at least 60% of whom are women) whose number is expected to increase by the time the project is inaugurated, after the markets’ reconstruction. Indirect beneficiaries would be some 900,000 households living in the market areas.

Mozambique - Niassa Provincial Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project. The Niassa Provincial Towns Water and Sanitation Project presents a next step of AfDB’s involvement in the water sector of Mozambique. This is a standalone investment operation and institutional support for the on-going sector reforms to assist in reaching the MDGs. The project fulfils the country wide effort in Mozambique to upgrade urban water supply and sanitation infrastructure as part of the country’s reconstruction activities since the cessation of hostilities in the eighties. Niassa Province was selected because it is one of the least developed in investment terms, compared with other Provinces. It will focus on urban water supply and sanitation since one of the on-going Bank project, addresses the needs of the rural people in the same province. It includes institutional development support, water supply scheme rehabilitation and extension, sanitation program and project management and audit. It will be implemented over a period of four years at a total cost of UA 20 million.  The sector objective of the projet is to improve the health and quality of life and reduce poverty levels of the population of Mozambique through provision of water and sanitation services on a sustainable basis. Specifically, the project aims to improve the access, quality, availability and sustainability of water supply and sanitation services in Cuamba and Lichinga Towns in Niassa Province.  The beneficiaries of the proposed project will be the population of the towns of Cuamba (2007 census: 77,914) and of Lichinga (2007 census: 142,253). The project will bring general improvements in public health within the project areas, curtail water borne diseases, and ensure environmental sustainability. The project will contribute towards meeting of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Mozambique - Education III Project. The Education III Project (Basic Education Improvement) is a follow-up to two earlier similar projects in the sector.

Mozambique - Education II Project. The Education II Project is consistent with the government of Mozambique’s plans to accelerate access to education and improve the quality of teachers. The project addresses three fundamental problems which the government had identified as having a negative impact on all levels of the education system  limited access to educational opportunities, poor quality, and the cost of expanding access and improving quality. Its implementation will help improve Mozambique's literacy level, which is currently among the lowest in Africa. The Project, which will be implemented over a period of four years, is articulated around the following components: (i) Primary Teacher Training Centres (PTTCs)  (ii) Primary Schools in Resettlement Areas  (iii) Secondary School Study  (iv) Strengthening of the project implementation unit (GEPE). The project will sharply raise the output of primary school teachers and thus significantly improve the quality of primary school education. Furthermore, the components in the priority districts will help to ease the resettlement problems. Both aspects will facilitate Mozambique's economic and social development process through improved literacy and better understanding of modern agricultural methods and health practices.  The Project's objectives are to: (i) establish one Primary Teacher Training Centre (PTTC) at Matola and one at Nampula for the purpose of training 420 primary teachers each year  (ii) establish 16 primary school s and construct 64 teachers' houses in order to improve access to primary education in the resettlement areas  and (iii) provide pedagogical and technical material and tender documents for the rehabilitation of secondary schools in four priority districts in the resettlement areas.  The Education II project will (i) create 2 primary teacher training schools, (ii) build 16 primary schools and 64 teacherages in the resettlement areas, (iii) study the rehabilitation of secondary schools in 4 priority districts. The project will benefit the populations of Sofala and Manica provinces.

Mozambique - National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (PRONASAR) in Nampula and Zambezia Provinces. The National Rural Water Supply Program (PRONASAR), in Mozambique, arises from a preparation study funded by the African Water Facility (AWF) managed by the Bank, to address critical issues of opening up access to rural water supply and sanitation facilities for the millions of inhabitants in the rural areas of Mozambique. It is designed as a Sector-Wide Approach to Programming (SWAP), which includes a Common Fund which will result in a number of water wells constructed and rehabilitated, develop base line data bases, and regional and local master plans, conduct yearly financial audits, as well as annual value for money technical audits  and provide institutional training and capacity enhancement across the various segments of national, provincial and district level.  The sector objective of the project is to contribute to satisfaction of basic human needs, improve well-being and reduce rural poverty through increased access to water supply and sanitation services.

The specific objective of the project is to promote the effort of Government in poverty reduction through improvement of road infrastructure in rural areas of western Uganda by providing all weather access for the supply of farm inputs, evacuation of produce to major market centers and socio-economic facilities, thus improving the level of service and efficiency of the road network.

Benin - The Oueme valley irrigated agricultural development project. The two loans were used to finance the Ouémé valley development project, which was carried out in two phases. The ADB loan, amounting to UA 310,000, was used in the first phase for the development of the left bank of the Ouémé River, and the ADF loan, amounting to UA 3.5 million, was used to finance the second phase of the project located on the right bank.  The objective was to develop food production, particularly rice production, in the valley in order to reduce the country's cereal deficit and at the same time increase the income of farmers.

Benin - Communal Forests Management Support Project (PAGEFCOM). The Communal forests Management Support Project (PAGEFCOM) falls within the framework of the country’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) and the decentralization process. It aims primarily at helping the Communes in the development and concerted management of the forests in their respective areas. The Project will be based on the Ecological and Forestry Information System (SIEF) conducted within the framework of the Fuelwood Project II (PBF-II).  It focuses on the protection and regeneration of floristic and wildlife resources as well as urgent measures in the area of community infrastructure and control of soil degradation in the villages surrounding forests within the Project area. Hence, within the context of decentralization, the Project will provide local authorities (Divisional Offices, Communes, DAGRN and CeRPA) with the necessary information (maps, data banks, etc.) for an efficient management of the environment and effective development at grassroots level. This Project is therefore a logical follow-up to the activities of the PAMF which tested and popularized the local SIEF and to the PBF-II which adopted it for the national forest inventory. Its specificity lies in the empowerment of the Communes in their capacity as contracting authority for the plantation with a view to the sustainable management and tapping of forest resources. The two main thrusts of the Project activities will be : (i) protection and development of natural forest resources  and (ii) the creation of short-term profitable economic forest resources.  The sector goal of the Project is to contribute towards poverty reduction. Its specific objective is to contribute to the sustainable management of forest resources and to the improvement of the population’s incomes and living conditions.  The Project will benefit about 1 937 560 inhabitants of the intervention area, including about 650 000 directly, of whom nearly 360 000 are women.

Benin - Participatory Artisanal Fisheries Development Support Programme (PADPPA). The present program of support for the participatory development of artisanal fisheries (PADPPA) was initiated because of the willingness of the Government of Benin and the African Development Bank to provide a rapid response to the problems of over exploitation of fisheries resources. This problem has reduced the purchasing power of the fishermen who operate in the water plans of southern Benin and the PADPPA should propose measures to convert fishermen to other income-generating activities (agriculture, fish farming and others small trades). In addition, the program should contribute to the strengthening of national skills in supervision, extension and monitoring of fishing and fish farming activities in order to ensure the adoption of technical and technological innovations for the sustainable development of the two sub-sectors. The PDPAP's main activities comprises four (04) components, namely: (i) institutional capacity building  (ii) rehabilitation of water plans  (iii) rationalization of the fishing industry  (iv) program coordination and management.  The sectoral objective of the Program is the fight against poverty and the improvement of the living conditions of people living mainly in fisheries. The program specifically aims at the sustainable restoration of the fishery resource, water plans, capacity building of the target communities and diversification of their livelihoods in order to reduce the fishing effort on the plans water.  Artisanal fishermen, industrial fishermen, fish farmers and women fishmongers, processors and fish traders are the main beneficiaries of the PADPPA actions. The other beneficiaries are the managers and agents of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and the Program's partner organizations which would see their human, financial and logistical resources strengthened.

Benin - Rural Electrification Project (PERU). The Rural Electrification Project (PERU) is an investment project concerning the extension and densification of rural electricity distribution networks. The project is in keeping with the 2016-2021 Government Action Programme which, among others, aims to build up the country’s energy capacities and improve the population’s living conditions. It covers the entire territory of Benin with the exception of the city of Cotonou where the Bank is financing a similar project approved in 2017. PERU concerns 309 localities representing an estimated beneficiary population of one million inhabitants. The project has the following three components: (a) electricity infrastructure  (b) institutional support  and (c) Project Management. The total cost is EUR 96.39 million with an estimated Bank contribution of EUR 61.77 million. The project implementation period is 36 months.  The PERU’s objective is to increase the rural electricity access rate from 8.11% in 2018 to 13.78% in 2022.  The Project’s main beneficiaries are the 48,324 households to be connected to the power grid. It is planned to reduce the connection cost to CFAF 25,000 instead of 90,000 since the project will finance the connection equipment. Thirty-five schools will be connected to the electricity network and will benefit from drinking water supply under the National School Canteens Support Project established by the Government. SBEE is also a direct beneficiary due to the increase in its number of subscribers and the volume of energy sales. The operational capacities of SBEE and ABERME will be built up through training sessions for their employees in charge of planning and operations. Access to electricity will benefit the productive sectors of the economy in the project areas, in particular handicrafts. Finally, local businesses specialising in electrical trades will be invited to bid for the household connection works.

Benin - Djougou-Pehunco-Banikoara Cotton Road Development Project. The Djougou-Pehunco-Banikoara Cotton Road Development Project is part of the actions aimed at making the cotton sector in Benin more dynamic and competitive. Indeed, this sector is one of the main providers of employment and plays a key role in the Beninese economy. However, the cotton-growing areas are landlocked, which severely hampers the transport and disposal of export products because the main roads serving them are not asphalted. The 209.68 km Djougou-Pehunco-Kérou-Banikoara road is the backbone of the cotton road network in the Donga, Atacora and Alibori departments. This road, which serves the country's largest cotton-producing region, is in very poor condition and offers little drainage capacity for national and international traffic. Travel speed is greatly reduced, aggravating mobility conditions on this route (10 hours of time for a heavy truck to cover the 209.68 km). The project aims to improve the level of service on this road, which carries a large proportion of heavy lorry traffic and is in very poor condition. Its implementation will have the following effects (i) a reduction in transport costs   (ii) an increase in traffic on the route  (iii) the development of economic activities  (iv) improved production and marketing of agricultural products (maize, cassava, cotton, etc.) as well as the country's competitiveness  and finally (v) the improvement of the living conditions of the populations of the project direct influence area (PDIA). The total cost before tax and duty including physical and financial contingencies of the entire project is estimated at UA 162.06 million, i.e. CFAF 128,124.54 million or EUR 195.32 million. The implementation period is 4 years.  At the strategic level, the project aims to achieve the Government's economic growth objectives through increased cotton production, given its contribution to GDP and to enhance regional integration. More specifically, the objective of the project is to: (i) improve the level of service of the Djougou - Péhunco - Kérou - Banikoara road  (ii) open up large cotton and grain basins, (iii) strengthen trade and contribute to the country's food security by increasing the supply of consumption centers for food products  and (iv) improve accessibility to better transport infrastructure and living conditions of populations in the PDIA.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are the users of the transport as well as the populations living in the PDIA (the communes of Djougou, Péhunco, Kérou and Banikoara).

Mozambique - The Massingir Dam Emergency Rehabilitation Project. The Massingir Dam Emergency Rehabilitation project (MDERP) seeks to support the rehabilitation of the bottom outlet structure of the Massingir Dam to ensure the safety and operational efficiency of the dam. It is of high economic importance to the Government of Mozambique. Firstly, it brings into the table the opportunity of fully rehabilitating the Massingir Dam by holistically reviewing the entire infrastructure especially those that predate the colonial era (which are now in bad state of disrepair). Secondly, the Project will help to address the potential environmental and ecological problems that could arise as result of the damages already existing on the Dam. Finally the need to ensure the safety of the dam all the year round is of critical concern to the Government in order to withstand the likely effects of floods. The Project will lead to development of the necessary civil and mechanical infrastructures that would assist in the maximization of the full benefits of the Massingir Dam. It will be implemented over a two year period (2009 - 2011) and the proposed works will comprise (i) Repair to the bottom outlet conduits, (ii) Repair to the existing bottom outlet steel liner, and (iii) Rehabilitation of the bottom outlet hydro-mechanical equipment. It is estimated to cost UA 21.44 million out of which the Bank will contribute UA 13.30 million (62%) and the Government 8.14 million (38%).  The Project objectives are to: (i) ensure sustainability of the Massingir Dam by preventing its total collapse in the event of heavy downpour  and (ii) improve food production and the living standards of the target group through sustainable improvement of the operational efficiency of the Dam. This would facilitate the productive capacity of farmers both small and medium scale to produce major crops downstream in Chokwe and Xai-Xai Districts (Gaza Province).  The beneficiaries of the Project will be about 16,000 smallholder farmers located downstream in Xai-Xai and Chokwe Districts (Gaza Province), and people living in Massingir village for water supply  550 fisher-men and women operating in the dam  and Procana Sugar Irrigation scheme which is a private sector initiative dependent on the efficient operation of the Dam.

Mozambique - Massingir Dam Emergency Rehabilitation Project (MDERP) - Supplementary Loan. The Massingir Dam Emergency Rehabilitation Project (MDERP) was designed to deal with an emergency situation in Mozambique. Indeed, the dam was in an unstable state, due to the low flow through the spillway while about 1 million people (or 5% of the total population of Mozambique) live in the vicinity of the dam, and their lives, Livelihoods and assets were threatened by a collapse in the event of floods. During its implementation, this project was evaluated in March 2009 following an emergency following the collapse of the Massingir Dam's bottom drain, which resulted in uncontrollable discharge of water. The Mozambican government then sought the support of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) to remedy this situation. To this end, the AfDB reacted promptly by approving in July 2009 an emergency loan of UA 13.30 million (considered as an additional loan) for the repair of the bottom drain at the total estimated cost of UA 21.4 million, the balance to be borne by the Government of Mozambique. Initially, the project consisted of two main components: (i) component A: Rehabilitation of the Massingir Dam sump  ii) Component B: Project Management. With the additional loan, these components remained the same, while consultant services for the supervision of the works will be integrated into the project management component.  The objectives of the project are to: i) ensure the sustainability of the Massingir Dam by preventing its total collapse in the event of heavy rainfall  (ii) improve the target group's food production and living standards by sustainably improving the operational efficiency of the dam. In addition, the objective of the supplementary loan is to close the funding gap and provide sufficient resources for the repair of the bottom hole to achieve the project objectives.  The beneficiary of the supplementary loan is the Government of Mozambique. In addition, the beneficiaries of the project are some 16,000 farmers in the Xai-Xai and Chokwe districts, and the residents of the village of Massingir who should have access to water  550 fishermen operating in the dam area  and the Procana Sugarcane Irrigation System, a private sector initiative that depends on the efficient operation of the dam.

Mozambique - Forestry and Wildlife Resources Management Project. The Forestry and Wildlife Resources Management Project in Mozambique is the first that received assistance from the Bank after the civil war that ended in October 1992. Indeed, despite its economic potentials, forestry and wildlife sub-sector did not attract Government development efforts until after a devastating civil war. The project activities defined will be implemented under five components including: i) Natural Resource Management, ii) Wildlife Resource Management, iii) Social Forestry, iv) Institutional Support and v) Project Management.  The project’s sector goal is to enhance sustainable use and management of forestry and wildlife resources in Sofala, Manica, and Cabo Delgado provinces in order to increase the sector’s contribution to the GDP. The project immediate objective is to develop sustainable use and management of natural forests and wildlife resources through rehabilitation of degraded areas, social forestry development, and strengthening of institutional capacity of the forestry and wildlife sector.  The project will benefit Communities and Farmers in the project area, including those in Sofala, Manica and Cabo Delgado Provinces.

Mozambique - Artisanal Fisheries Development Project. The present intervention is relative to the Artisanal Fisheries Development Project. It's designed because for the population living the coastal areas of Mozambique, artisanal fisheries are important sources of employment, income and food consumption. However, income from artisanal fishery is low because of low productivity, and undeveloped fish processing and marketing. The project aims to increase production of fish and the incomes for smallholder fishers, processors, and traders in the project area, and thereby reduce poverty  which is consistent with the Gouvernement poverty reduction strategy for the coastal provinces. The Artisanal Fisheries Development Project (AFDP) project consists of three components: (i) provision of Credit to boost fish production and promote fish marketing  (ii) provision of community infrastructure  (iii) strengthening institutional capacity. The expected outcomes include increased: (1) adoption of improved boat and gear technology, (2) catch rate per fishing day, (3) off-take of improved fish products such as fresh fish, and (4) marketing share of artisanal fishers.  The sector goal is to increase incomes of fishers’ and their communities, fish traders and input suppliers thereby contribute to reduction of poverty, enhance food security and marine environment conservation and protection. The project objective is to increase fish production by supporting artisanal fishers in the project area by enabling them to catch, process and market fish more efficiently.  The intended beneficiaries are selected fishing communities (i.e. artisanal fishers, processors and traders) in the whole of Cabo Delgado and the Northern part of Nampula province.

Mozambique - Family Farming Income Enhancement Project. The proposed project is in line with the Bank’s vision and the Government of Mozambique’s strategy of poverty reduction. It's targeted towards a very poor section of Maputo Province’s rural population with an estimated per capita income of US$ 20, in order to increase its agricultural production, raise its household food security and incomes, and improve its livelihood. The project is implemented in Maputo Province, which has a relatively low rainfall and a high pressure on land due to a high population density.  The proposed project should contribute to the Government’s sector goal by addressing some of the constraints to agricultural development. These include: (i) irrigation to address the constraint of low and erratic rainfall  and (ii) support to General Union of Cooperatives (UGC) so that it may provide extension services to beneficiaries on crop and poultry management, new and improved technologies, credit for input supply, marketing, and processing of poultry meat, and treatment of poultry diseases. The project should contribute, although to a very small percentage at the national level, to the economic growth required to reduce absolute poverty.  The project’s sector goal is to contribute to GDP growth while achieving a sustainable rural poverty reduction. The project’s specific objectives are to promote household food
security, raise household incomes and the welfare of the poor rural population in the Districts of Maputo, Matola Gare, Boquisso, Boane, Marracuene and Manhica.  The project should directly benefit 5,200 smallholder farmers, with 700 producing poultry and 4,500 growing crops. About 80% of the beneficiaries should be women. The beneficiaries consist mostly of returnees who fled their homes during the war and have no regular employment. They experience food insecurity at the household level all year
round. In addition, the project should benefit an additional 675 existing poultry producers. With the installation of a modern feed mill and breeder farm, enough poultry inputs would be produced for new poultry producers and the existing ones. The existing producers should however not benefit from credit under the project.

Women's Entrepreneurship and Skills Development for Food Security - Pilot Project. The Food Security Support and Gender Entrepreneurship Development Pilot Project will support 4,500 women in 8 districts in two provinces. It seeks to contribute to mitigating food insecurity amongst rural smallholder farmer households by reducing post-harvest losses and empowering them with entrepreneurial skills. The project will comprise two components: 1) Rural Livelihoods Skills Promotion and Marketing Support component will provide entrepreneurship and business management training, technical skills training in selected agro processing activities, and support to marketing activities and private sector linkage development. 2) Institutional Support component will provide training in project management, computer software skills, to the DNM office as well as the Provincial and District MMAS office and eight District agriculture offices. The component will also provide office automation and transportation for monitoring and evaluation at the community level. The total project cost is estimated at UA 2.81 million or MZM 80.53 billion.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to increased capacity for improved household food security and to reduced poverty for rural women in a sustainable way. The project objectives are to (i) to improve household skills for reducing food insecurity levels and duration, (ii) to build capacity in entrepreneurship and technical skills for food processing  (iii) to build the capacity at the national and provincial levels for gender mainstreaming and HIV/ AIDS in the planning process.  The beneficiaries of this project will be women mainly in rural agriculture households whose food-security level is threatened during post-harvest dry periods, drought, and/ or other household crises. Thus, the Project support will be delivered to existing women’s groups as well as to new women’s groups. In this regard the project will support approximately 200 existing groups and at least 150 new groups (in total in the two provinces)  the support will reach approximately 4,500 women (between 10 to 20 in each group).

Mozambique - Baixo Limpopo Irrigation and Climate Resilience Project (BLICRP). The proposed Baixo Limpopo Irrigation and Climate Resilience Project (BLICRP) is in line with the first thematic area of the Bank's Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for Mozambique (2011-15), which aims to improve competitiveness of the private sector through infrastructure development. The project has three components: (a) marketing infrastructure and agro-processing, (b) improved irrigation infrastructure, rural roads  and (c) Promotion of Farm Diversification. Its implementation will strengthen the resilience of communities to the phenomena of climate change. It will be performed over five years in Xai Xai District, Gaza Province, Southern Mozambique.  The objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction through increased value addition and the creation of a climate-resilient (CR) infrastructure to increase agricultural productivity by supporting the development of 3,050 ha for cash crops and the creation of commercial and agro-industrial infrastructures.  The project will directly benefit 8,000 families of smallholder farmers and 210 emerging farmers in the East Block of Magula (approximately 40,000 individual beneficiaries in total). In addition, the total population of Xai Xai District, estimated at 115,752 in total, will benefit from the jobs that will be created during the construction and operation phases, as well as at the shopping center and agro level. -industrial. Women will represent approximately 52% of the project beneficiaries.

Mozambique - Beira Corridor Transport System Project. Overall Objective: ------------------ The project will support the overall objectives of the Beira Corridor Transport System Programme by reducing the transport costs of imports and export costs for Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Specific Objectives: ------------------- Increasing the cargo handling capacity and efficiency at the Beira Port, and offering flexibility in the choice of transport mode (road/rail) along the Beira-Machipanda Corridor.

Mozambique - Mineral Resources Management Capacity Building Project. The Mineral Resources Management Capacity Building Project is part of the Government of Mozambique’s effort to increase economic development through poverty reduction and employment growth. This growth should be done by improving governance, empowering the populace, and promoting greater transparency and accountability through improving the regulatory framework and enhancing the effectiveness of public sector institutions, in particular the mining sector. The project should also intend assist in attracting increased private investment which would foster the growth and contribute to poverty reduction in the country. Expected impacts include: i) Value added to the annual growth rate of the mining sector  ii) value added to the share of mining sector in GDP  and iii) Increase in the systematic application of EIA and consultative processes in mining activities. The project comprises five main components, namely: (1) Institutional Reform and Capacity Building  (2) Geological Infrastructure  (3) Environmental Management  (4) Small Scale and Artisanal Mining and  (5) Project Management.  The overall objective of the project is to strengthen the institutional capacity and regulatory framework for the mining sector in Mozambique, in order to encourage increased private investment in the mining sector in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner.  The project which spanned the whole country in terms of geological and mining coverage and impact should primarily benefit government institutions  the outputs should benefit private sector investors who should have more accurate information to make sound investment decision. Additionally it should also benefit small scale and artisanal miners.

Mozambique- Transport Programme Project. In March 1992, an ADF mission visited Mozambique to appraise various components comprising the Transport Programme namely: (i) construction works and supervision services for 263.5 km of the Beira – Machipanda road divided into two sections  Section I – 110 km in Sofala Province and Section II – 153.5 km in Manica Province  and (ii) consultancy services for the two road studies and the airport study. The entire programme was to be co-financed by the Governments of Mozambique and Sweden and the ADF. The Governments of Sweden through SIDA and Mozambique were to finance Section I in Sofala  while the GOM and ADF were to finance Section II of the road in Manica Province including consultancy services for the roads and the airport study.  The objective of the Transport Programme was aimed at: i) reducing the transport
costs and improving the road safety for the Beira-Machipanda Road and consequently facilitating road transport transit from and to Zimbabwe  ii) contributing to the efforts of rehabilitating the road network by ensuring economic and technical feasibility for two roads  and iii) ensuring economic and technical feasibility for rehabilitation/improvement of the airports to sufficient standards.  The rehabilitated road vastly improved communications and access to services by
residents of villages along the route. There is faster access to better health facilities, particularly in emergency situations. Road transport costs have been reduced and also passenger travel time on the Biera – Machipanda road. The improved road has increased trade and tourist traffic through the area to a very modest extent. The GOM could not undertake periodic maintenance (due within 5 years of rehabilitation) on this road due to paucity of resources. However, the GOM have put in place adequate measures to ensure proper and regular maintenance of the road network.

Mozambique - Pemba-Montepuez Road Rehabilitation Project. In June 1991, the Government of Mozambique (GOM) organized a donor conference in Brussels, Belgium under the patronage of the European Economic Community (EEC) to mobilize financial support for the implementation of the Roads and Coastal Shipping (ROCS) project. The World Bank played a major role in assisting the GOM in the preparation of the project. The ADB was represented at the donors meeting and in 1992 and participated in ROCS-1 by financing studies for the Pemba – Montepuez and Vanduzi – Changara roads. The feasibility and detailed engineering design reports completed in 1995, had recommended the rehabilitation of Pemba-Montepuez Road. The project was appraised in March 1997 by a team of three experts comprising a Transport Economist, a Transport Engineer (consultant) and an Environmentalist. The loan conditions were negotiated and there were no issues of disagreement raised by the Bank or the Borrower concerning the project. The loan amounts of ADF: UA 26.00 million was approved on 25th June 1997, and signed on 25 September 1997.  The objective of the project was to improve road transport services in the project area as well as to reduce road maintenance and vehicle operating costs. The project, as designed at appraisal, comprised a) Construction works for rehabilitating 210 km of the PembaMontepuez Road comprising a 6.0 m wide bitumen standard carriageway with 1.5 m bitumen surfaced shoulders except for 8 km into Pemba township where the carriageway was to be 7.0 m with 2.5 m bitumen surface shoulders, b) Consultancy services for pre-construction services and supervision of the works in item (a) above, and c) Audit services.  The project has significantly reduced road transport costs and passenger travel time on the Pemba – Montepuez road. The road is environmentally friendly and encourage safer driving habits and hence reduction in serious accidents. Though the increase in the scope of the work caused an increase in the original contract amount, the final cost was within the overall appraisal estimate and has greatly enhanced the value and quality of the project.

Mozambique - Vanduzi-Changara Road Rehabilitation Project. The Vanduzi-Changara Road Rehabilitation Project is part of the rehabilitation, maintenance and the strengthening of activities undertaken by the Government of Mozambique in the first and second road and cabotage projects. The Vanduzi – Changara road is an important regional transit route for the countries of Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which use the port of Beira for their external trade. The overall gains made during the implementation of ROCs 1 and 2 will be consolidated. The output of the project will be a rehabilitated two-lane 270-km bitumen surfaced road with a 6.0 m wide carriageway and 1.0 m bitumen surface shoulders between Vanduzi and Changara. It will also contribute to the creation of a self-sufficient Road Authority capable of efficiently managing and maintaining a completely rehabilitated road network.  The project comprises the following components:  (a) construction works  (b) supervision consultancy services  (c) project audit services  and (d) institutional support to the National Road Administration (ANE). It will run for a period of 30 months at a total cost of UA 20.79 million.  The sector goal is to improve economic activities through the rehabilitation and maintenance of transport infrastructure so as to protect past investments and to stimulate and recover the previous traffic levels of the national and rural road networks. The main objective of the project is to reduce vehicle operating and road maintenance costs and thereby increase the quality of service as well as protect the investment in road infrastructure made thus far.   The main objective is therefore to increase the quality of service and protect investment in road sub-sector.  The beneficiaries are the National Road Administration (ANE), the people, peasants and traders and other road users in the provinces of Tete and Manica.

Cabo Verde - Public Corporate Governance and Investment Promotion Support Programme – Second Year (PAGEPPI II). PAGEPPI is a programme-based general budget support operation. It seeks to contribute to the consolidation of the macroeconomic framework and foster growth recovery by improving public corporate governance and promoting private investment. In view of its recent ranking among middle-income countries, Cabo Verde should be prepared to increasingly rely on non-concessional loans. In this regard, it faces a twofold challenge: (i) streamlining public expenditure to maintain debt sustainability and restore budgetary flexibility  and (ii) mobilizing the private sector to boost growth.  In response to these challenges: (a) improving the governance of public enterprises should help to optimize their financial and operational performance, thereby reducing their losses which weigh heavily on the State budget  (b) clarifying the roles of the State as shareholder, and those of regulators and economic operators, and promoting international and local investment, should foster private sector development. This programme is expected to benefit the population of Cabo Verde as a whole and, in particular, public enterprises, the domestic private sector, foreign investors as well as users of public services (electricity, water and transport).  PAGEPPI should benefit the entire population of Cabo Verde. From the standpoint of users of public services, better public corporate governance will have a positive impact on the quality of public services, especially water and electricity. For taxpayers, the tax burden will be contained given that PAGEPPI seeks to foster: (i) resource mobilization and the restoration of budgetary flexibility by reducing losses for public enterprises and streamlining public investments  and (ii) higher private sector contribution to GDP growth by improving the business climate and promoting investment.

Cabo Verde - Private Sector Competitiveness and Local Economic Development Programme (PSC-LED) PHASE I. The first phase of the Private Sector Competitiveness and Local Economic Development Programme (PSC-LED) is designed in a context where the Government of Cabo Verde (GoCV) is entering the implementation phase of its new Economic Plan for Sustainable Development 2018-2021 (PEDS). Indeed, the country faces two major problems: ensuring consolidation and moving to the paradigm of growth in favor of the private sector, and ensuring that growth is inclusive for the entire national territory and the different layers of the society. To address these issues, PSC-LED aims to (i) consolidate the gains from previous operations, and support Cabo Verde's efforts to tackle the above challenges through reforms to improve overall competitiveness, while also (ii) seeking to set the basis for local economic development. In addition, the PSC-LED is not only concerned with the pace of growth (i.e. growth levels), but its pattern (i.e. sources of growth and spatial distribution). It focus on the domestic private sector, its competitiveness and local economic development across islands. PSC-LED-I is based on two components, namely: (1) promotion of competitiveness and private sector development  and (2) promotion of local economic development and local governance.  The program’s development objective is to promote inclusive and sustainable economic development. Its objective is to support the National Development Plan’s objective geared towards a move to private sector led growth and local economic development.  PSC-LED-I will benefit the entire Cabo Verde population. The results from sound management of public investments and a more developed private sector will improve the population’s living conditions. Good public corporate governance will lead to the improvement of the quality of public services provided to users. Efforts to facilitate access to financing, on the one hand, and the provision of training aimed at supporting the establishment and development of MSEs, on the other, will make the private sector more dynamic and responsive to increased opportunities from the massive public investment projects. These positive effects will spur economic growth in the country for the good of the people.

Cabo Verde - Population and Reproductive Health Survey Project. The project is institutional support to the Government as it implements its Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2012-2016, with a view to achieving inclusive economic growth and gender promotion. The project will contribute to national capacity-building in social statistics (statistics on population, health, education and the protection of women and children). This will enhance monitoring of the country's progress towards attainment of the Millennium Development Goals through the use of international norms and standards to collect, process, analyse and disseminate statistical indicators. The project comprises the following main components: (i) development of technical and methodological capacities related to the demographic and health indicators of the population in accordance with international best practices  (ii) data collection and analysis  (iii) promotion of tools that facilitate data dissemination and access  (iv) project coordination and management. Its implementation will contribute to the development of a critical mass of skills that will help to offset the shortage of human resources needed to conduct socio-demographic surveys, KAP studies and other specific surveys that the country will need in future, especially the preparation and execution of future population and reproductive health surveys.  The main objective of this project is to help the country design and formulate results-based policies through efficient measurement and monitoring of the demographic and health trends of its population. Specifically, the Population and Reproductive Health Survey (IDSR-III) seeks to: (i) address the abiding need for data to plan, monitor and evaluate health and population programmes  and (ii) build institutional capacity to collect, process, analyse, disseminate and use data.  The project targets the entire population on the national territory. Cabo Verde has an estimated population of 500,000 inhabitants. Staff from the ministries of health, finance and planning, involved in the conduct of the survey will be trained in this area. Besides, 20 women and 20 men will be recruited and trained to conduct the pilot survey, which will target 150 women and 150 men. Similarly, 13 teams of 6 persons each, including 50% women, will be trained for the main survey.

Cabo Verde - Economic Growth Support Programme - Phase I. Economic Growth Support Programme Phase I (PACE-I) is the first phase of a series of two programme-based budget support operations. One of the reasons it was initiated is that Cabo Verde faces several challenges that could hamper its economic growth in the medium term. PACE-I aims to consolidate the gains of previous operations and contribute to sustained economic growth by improving the efficiency of public investment and supporting the promotion of private sector development. The programme is a continuation of previous budget support operations whose results have helped to improve not only the public finance management system, but also public corporate governance and the promotion of private investment. This programme is structured around two complementary components. The first component, which focuses on the effectiveness of public investment, will make it possible, through major structural reforms, to: (i) improve public corporate governance and the public investment framework  and (ii) modernize the framework of public-private partnerships. As for the second component, the support to promote private sector development will focus on: (i) improving the business environment  and (ii) supporting entrepreneurship and the formalization of informal activities.  PACE-I's goal is to contribute to creating the conditions for sustained economic growth by improving the efficiency of public investment and promoting private sector development. The programme is intended to support Government’s efforts through operational objectives, namely: (i) improvement of public corporate governance and the public investment framework  (ii) modernization of the public-private partnership (PPP) framework  (iii) improvement of the business environment  and (iv) promotion of entrepreneurship and formalization of informal activities.  PACE-I should benefit the entire Cabo Verde population. The results from sound management of public investments and a more developed private sector should improve the population’s living conditions. Good public corporate governance lead to the improvement of the quality of public services provided to users. Efforts to facilitate access to financing, on the one hand, and the provision of training aimed at supporting the establishment and development of MSEs, on the other, make the private sector more dynamic and responsive to increased opportunities from the massive public investment projects.

Cabo Verde - Economic Growth Support Programme – Phase II (PACE II). The Phase II Economic Growth Support Program (PACE-II) is a EUR 20 million General Budget Support (GBS) operation of the ADB Group for the State of Cape Verde for the 2017 period -2018. PACE-II, the second phase of a series of two programmatic budget support operations, intends to consolidate the achievements of previous operations and to assist the authorities in the implementation of important structural reforms which, added to the previous ones will help create the conditions for sustained and inclusive growth. PACE - II is part of the continuation of PACE - I, structured around the same components, namely: (i) improving the efficiency of public investments in order to create the conditions for economic growth sustained benefits for the greater part of the Cabo-Verdean population and (ii) support for the promotion of private sector development to stimulate domestic production of goods and services.  The main objective of PACE - II is to help create the conditions for strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Cabo Verde. This second phase has the same operational objectives as PACE I, namely: (i) improving the governance of public enterprises and the institutional and regulatory framework for public investments  (ii) the modernization of the institutional and regulatory framework of Private Public Partnerships  (iii) improving the business environment  and (iv) support for entrepreneurship and the formalization of informal activities.  PACE II will benefit the people of Cape Verde as a whole. The results of good public investment management and a better developed private sector will improve the living conditions of the population. Good governance of public enterprises will have an impact on improving the quality of public services rendered to users. Efforts at the level of facilitating access to finance on the one hand, and training in the form of support for the creation and development of MSEs on the other, will contribute to making the private sector more dynamic to respond increasing the supply of opportunities from major public investment projects.

Cabo Verde - Porto Ingles and Palmeira Ports Modernisation and Expansion Project. The Porto Inglês and Palmeira Ports Modernisation and Expansion Project is consistent with the strategic framework for the promotion of the blue economy and the Master Plan for the Palmeira Port in Sal prepared on 27 August 2007 for a period of 25 years. The port infrastructure planned under the project is located on the islands of Maio and Sal. For Porto Inglês in Maio, the project will entail: (i) rehabilitation and repair of defects found on the existing quay which is 350 metres long and 15 metres wide  (ii) the construction of two rollon/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ramps and their accesses  (iii) the construction of a 150 metre-long breakwater dike  (iv) the rehabilitation and extension of the port embankment to transform it into a storage area and protect it against marine erosion  and (v) upgrading of the 0.8 km access road leading to the port. Related facilities and support have been planned for Maio Island to strengthen: (i) women and youth groups involved in the harvesting and processing of seafood (salt and fish) and dairy products (cheese)  and (ii) the activities of the Vocational Training Centre to prepare youth for development of the tourism industry on this Island. For Palmeira Port in Sal, all operations will be land-based and will complete the 2 phases of maritime works carried out in 2010 and 2017 with financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB). They will comprise: (i) the construction of buildings for the various services and a passenger terminal  (ii) the construction of storage and parking areas and a 1.2 km access road. The project will be implemented over a four-year period for a total estimated cost of UA 29.62 million.  From the strategic standpoint, the goal of the project is to contribute to attainment of economic growth and tourism development in Cabo Verde. The specific goals of the project are to: (i) improve the level of service at the Porto Inglês in Maio and Palmeira Port in Sal  and (ii) improve the living conditions of project area (PA) communities, particularly in Maio.  The direct beneficiaries of the project, male and female and from all age groups, are users of transport services as well as the communities within the DPA. These communities were consulted and sensitized during project design through a participatory approach that will be maintained right up to project completion.

Cabo Verde - COVID-19 Crisis Response Support Programme (CCRSP). The COVID19 Crisis Response Support Programme (CCRSP) in Cabo Verde is a budget support in alignment with the COVID-19 Response Facility approved by the Board on April 8th, 2020. This is a EUR 30 million ADB loan to the Republic of Cabo Verde. Indeed, while the country’s health indicators are among the best in West Africa, risks remain and the country’s health system has significant room for improvement, especially in the context of a global pandemic. As of May 12th, 2020, the number of confirmed cases is 260, with two deaths and 58 recovered. The first two cases were identified on March 21st. The objective of the operation is to support the authorities’ COVID-19 response strategy in mitigating the social impact of the crisis and maintaining macroeconomic stability. The programme is structured around two components: (i) increased health and social protection coverage to face the crisis and (ii) macroeconomic risk mitigation.  The programme seeks to achieve two outcomes: (i) improve health and social responses to ease the impact on the most vulnerable, and (ii) address macro-fiscal imbalances while mitigating the effects of the crisis on the private sector.  The programme will benefit the entire Cabo Verde population through increased macroeconomic stability as well as through a faster and more inclusive economic recovery on the back of a more resilient businesses and workforce. Moreover, the expanded social protection coverage supported by the programme will directly benefit some of the most affected and vulnerable populations in the country, including: (i) an additional 3,000 vulnerable and women headed households through the expansion of the Social Inclusion Income  (ii) 30,000 informal and selfemployed workers (including at least 50% women) through the creation of the Solidarity Income  (iii) 3,000 vulnerable households through the direct food assistance programme  and (iv) 13,224 furloughed workers through the INPS partial income recovery scheme. In addition, affected MSMEs will benefit from tax-related measures.

Cape-Verde - Private Sector Competitiveness and Local Economic Development Programme (PSCLED)  – Phase II. The proposed intervention concerns a EUR 20 million to the Republic of Cabo Verde to finance the Private Sector Competitiveness and Local Economic Development Programme - Phase II (PSC-LED-II). PSC-LED-II is the second phase of a programme-based budget support operation covering fiscal years 2018 and 2019, with an overall financing of EUR 40 million. The first phase of PSC-LED implemented in 2018, was successful in supporting reform efforts to promote competitiveness and economic diversification as well as spatially inclusive growth and development. Key achievements of phase I include the strengthening of institutional capacity for competitiveness-enhancing policy-making, through the operationalisation of a competitiveness reforms coordination unit. PSC-LED II aims to consolidate the gains from phase I, by (i) supporting Cabo Verde's efforts to tackle critical challenges related to lack of productivity and economic diversification through reforms to improve overall competitiveness, while also (ii) seeking to set the basis for local economic development.  Like PSC-LED-I, the main objective of PSC-LED-II is to contribute to inclusive growth and economic diversification, with particular attention given to the domestic private sector and local actors given their potential contribution to the economy. This second phase pursues the same operational objectives as PSC-LED-I, namely: (i) Improved legal framework and systems for business competitiveness and investment, (ii) Skills development anchored in private sector needs, (iii) Improved factor efficiency in support of MSME development, (iv) Improved local government support for enterprise development, (v) Updated legislative framework for local economic development and decentralisation and (vi) Improved local economic development planning.  PSC-LED-II will benefit the entire Cabo Verde population. The results from improved overall competitiveness as well as enhanced private sector and local economic development improve the population’s living conditions in an inclusive and sustainable way. Increased competitiveness through a streamlined legal framework, skills development and improved factor efficiency will create expanded opportunity and boost incomes. Efforts to empower local authorities to plan for and lead on local economic development policies, along with support for enterprise development at the local level, will ensure growth is inclusive across the territory and social strata. These positive effects will spur economic growth in the country for the good of the people.

Cabo Verde - Technology Park (CVTP) Phase II. The Republic  of  Cabo  Verde has  defined  ambitious  strategies  to  become  a  "  Cyber Island",a"digital  hub",and a "gateway  to  West  Africa".For  example,  in  the  Cabo  Verde Digital  Agenda  2019-21,  the Government displays strategies  to  develop  a  conducive  digital  and innovation   ecosystem   investing   in   connectivity,   capacity   building,   service   provisions   and governance.  Similarly,  digitalization  is  central  to Cabo  Verde’s Strategic  Plan  for  Sustainable Development 5 (PEDS) 2017-2021,which defines seven strategic sectors, including digital services and innovation, as sources of sustainable and diversified growth that would enable Cabo Verde to become a circular economy in the mid-Atlantic. More recently, the Cabo Verde Digital Governance Strategy   (2021-2024) aims   to   harmonize   public   policies   that   define   the country’s digital transformation.
This  Project  is  crucial  for  Cabo  Verde  to  achieve  its  vision  of  a  diversified  digital economy as it positions ICT as an enabler of productivity and growth in key sectors (such as Agriculture, Blue Economy and Tourism).  The  overarching  goal  of  the  project  is  to  transform  the  country  into  a  digital  and innovation hub by operationalizing a technology park, equipped with modern infrastructure and  workspaces, with  an  innovative  ambience.  It  is  designed  to  accommodate a  range of companies,  from emerging  start-ups to more established  multinational technology  companies(including  telecoms,  software  development  companies,  animation  firms  etc.).  The  Park facilities house a state-of-the-art conference center and a training center that hosts 1,000 people. Climate friendly and energy-saving  big-data  processors and   bandwidth-optimizing infrastructure are some  of  the  features  of  the  Park's  three  Data centers.  The project beneficiaries comprise: a)	Youth between ages 15 to 35 (50% women):The direct beneficiaries of the Park will be young women  and  men with  ages ranging from  15 to 35,  of which  50%  will  be  females.  By  providing demand-driven  training  and  incubation  programs,  the  project  will  increase the target  youths’competitiveness and their chances of securing high-skilled work in Cabo Verde and through remote work. This directly addresses the youth unemployment problem in Cabo Verde, which is currently at 30.63%, compared to the sub-Saharan Africa average of 14.8%  b)	Technology  Startups and  Private  Sector  Firms:  The  Park  will  benefit  a range of  Technology companies, from early to growth stage. The project will provide a conducive business, technology and  policy  environment  with  the  accompanying  financing  and  business  development  services to nurture the growth of these startups in the Park  c) Academia  and  Research  Institutions:  Academia  and  research organizations will  be utilized as satellite  campuses  to  scale  digital  skills  and  technology  research  programs  (through  a  triple  helix model). It is also expected that a significant population of the beneficiary youth will be selected from academia.

Cabo verde - E-Governance and Public Administration Modernisation Program (E-PAMP). Management hereby submits the following proposal and recommendation fora loan of EUR 20 million to the Republic of Cabo Verde to finance the second phase of the E-Governance and Public Administration Modernisation Programme (E-PAMP II). The E-PAMP was designed as a programmatic series of two consecutive General Budget Support Operations covering the fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Phase I of E-PAMP was approved by the Bank Group Board of Directors on the 22ndof September 2021and the resources (EUR 20 million) were fully disbursed in November 2021. This is the second phase of the two-year programmatic operation.  The  overarching  development  objective  of  E-PAMP  II  is  to build  on and  consolidate the digitalisation  and  e-governance  reforms with  the  aim  of enhancing an  efficient  public  service delivery and public administration system while strengthening the business enabling environment and  climate  resilient  digitalisation. This  objective  is  based  on  the  fact  that  accelerating the digitalisation  and  e-governance reforms remain key to the government’s recovery  program  and diversification agenda  as  articulated  in  its medium-term development  program  (PEDS  II-2022-2026) and consistent with its long-term vision ‘’Ambition 2030’’.The choice is further informed by the high demand for digitalised services during the pandemic by both citizens and businesses. E-PAMP II will continue to focus one-governance, open governance, transparency, efficient service delivery, modernised public administration and enhanced digital competitiveness.  E-PAMP-II will benefit the entire Cabo Verde population, notably through improvements in the efficiency of delivering services using digital platforms and enabling an increased number of citizens to easily access a wider variety of public services. The general public including the business community  will  further  benefit through  easier  and  streamlined processes,  asa  result  of  a much-modernized public administration system. The program will specifically benefit the Cabo Verdean public servants through  better  reward  systems  and  an  incentive  to  perform  better  and be  more efficient.

Cabo Verde - Emergency Food Production Support Programme (2PAU-CABO VERDE-AEFPF). The proposed operation is an AfDB loan, not exceeding EUR 10 million, to the Government of Cabo Verde, to finance the Emergency Food Production Programme. This is a sector-based budget support operation prepared under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). This operation aims to mitigate external shocks by focusing on making seeds and fertilisers available to farmers. The programme is subdivided into three components: (i) Improve access to certified seeds and advisory support  (ii) Improve farm access to fertilisers  (iii) Improve agriculture sector governance and public policy implementation. It will be implemented from December 2022 to June 2024.  The objective of the Program is to contribute to food sovereignty and nutritional security. Its specific objective is to increase agricultural production and farmer incomes (maize, tubers and roots, beans, vegetables), in the short- and medium-terms, and build farmers’ resilience against the drought that has hit the country recurrently.  The programme will directly benefit about 10,000 smallholders, 50% of them women, securing access to quality seeds and fertilisers. It will also improve the food and nutritional security of roughly 150,000 people, 50% of them women, and build farmers’ resilience against the prolonged drought affecting the country for the past 4 years.

Cabo Verde - E-Governance and Public Financial Management Reform Program (E-PFMRP). The E-Governance and Public Financial Management Reform Program – Phase I will support the implementation of key reforms to promote e-governance through the digitalization of public services, the promotion of open-data to make data publicly available, and the establishment of transparency portal.

Zambia - District Centre Water/Sanitation. Improve the water supply situation in the centres of Monze, Choma, Kalomo, Livingstone  -   Improve the sanitary and environmental situation in the     two towns of Livingstone and Kafue  -   To strengthen the local authorities responsible for these services by providing institutional support and training.

Zambia - Lusaka Water Supply Rehabilitation Project. The Lusaka Water Supply Rehabilitation Project is aimed at rehabiliting the existing distribution system so that water losses are reduced to more manageable levels. It is also necessary that these works are carried out now before any expansion works can be considered as any additional water would still get lost in the system in its present rundown state. Basically, the project will complement the ongoing rehabilitation programme for the entire Lusaka water supply system. The rehabilitation of the water system will go a long way in improving the revenue base of the Lusaka water and sewerage company (LWSC). Lack of adequate funds has been one of the biggest problems facing the former WSD. Further the project will provide facilities necessary for institutional building which will facilitate the completion of the transformation of WSD to LWSC.  The chief aim of the project is to rectify as far as possible the current deficiencies of the water supply distribution system in Lusaka so as to make the best use of the existing installations. This will be accomplished by rehabilitating the system thereby curtailing the excessive unaccounted-for water now averaging approximately 65% of the production. It is expected that this unaccounted for water will gradually be reduced to approximately 45% by the time the project is completed and to about 30% by 1996. The project will also strengthen the water supply institution by providing necessary office space and workshops.  The project beneficiaries are the Lusaka Water and Sewerage Company (LWSC) and the people of Lusaka.

Zambia - Kitwe Water Supply Rehabilitation project, Phase I. The Kitwe Water Supply and Rehabilitation Phase I Project comprises execution of the essential rehabilitation works of the existing Kitwe City Council (KCC) water supply system including treatment plant, distribution centres, trunk mains, and part of the reticulation network. The proposed project will restore reliability to the water supply service in the City of Kitwe. Once implemented, the project will result in improved health of the beneficiaries through the reduction of water borne diseases including cholera which have been chronic in the area. Above all, the urban poor particularly those living in peri-urban areas stand to gain the most from the project. Some of these places do not have any organized water supply, and people are forced to seek poor and unreliable alternative sources. The project will provide these people, who are generally the last to receive water and forgo the same when systems fail, with a reliable supply of portable water.  The objective of the project is to restore the water supply system in the City of Kitwe to its designed capacity and reduce the accounted-for water to 40% of production. The project responds to the most pressing problem of the sector i.e. the degradation of the existing infrastructure and the consequent deterioration of water supply and sanitation services in the country.  The Project will provide sustainable water supply and improved public health for the residents of Kitwe and also promote commercial and industrial developments.

The Itezhi-Tezhi (ITT) power plant and transmission project consists of the construction, operation and maintenance of a 120 MW base load hydro power plant at the Itezhi-Tezhi (ITT) dam on the Kafue River in Zambia and the transmission line to evacuate the power to the proposed Mumbwa and Lusaka West substations. The Itezhi-Tezhi Hydropower Plant (ITT) part combines a  public-private partnership (PPP) clean-energy generation and a public transmission line to evacuate power in Zambia. Concerning the transmission line, it will evacuate power from the ITPC power plant through a 142 km, 220 kV single-circuit line to a new substation at Mumbwa and a 134 km, 330 kV double-circuit line from Mumbwa to Lusaka West substation. The project will bring both local and national benefits through increased access to electricity, jobs, and social services. The project has three components, namely (i) ZESCO’s shareholding in the PPP generation company ITPC  (ii) the transmission line and substations owned by ZESCO that will evacuate the ITPC-generated power  and (iii) technical assistance to ZESCO for an updated cost of service study (COS) and support to negotiating current and future bulk power supply agreements with large consumers.  The objective of the project is to a) develop, construct and operate a 120 MW hydro power station  b) 142km 220kV and 134km 330kV transmission lines.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the four districts involved in the project namely: Itezhi-Tezhi, Mumbwa, Chibombo and Kafue. These populations are estimated at 819,440 inhabitants (2010 population census). In addition, the project will provide electricity to the national grid.

Zambia - Rehabilitation of Kafue Gorge Power Station Project. The proposed emergency assistance project aims at restoring 600 MW of the Kafue Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station before the end of 1989.  The Kafue Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station, with an installed capacity of 900 MW is the largest power station in Zambia. It is situated on the Kafue River some 100 km south of the capital City of Lusaka.  The rehabilitation of the Kafue Gorge Power Plant has been devised in three phases: (i) restoration of a first 300 MW capacity to enable ZESCO to meet the national power demand and stop importations as soon as possible. (ii) Restoration of an additional 300 MW capacity to made Zambia self-sufficient in energy and have a reasonable operating reserve. (iii) Complete restoration of the power station with the commissioning of the last 300 MW capacity thereby enabling resumption of electricity exports. The present support covers only phase (i) and (ii) so that Zambia will as soon as possible be again in a position to export electricity and resume making earnings from the sale of this commodity to its neighbor Zimbabwe.  The restoration of this power would again render Zambia independent of its neighbours as regards electricity supply. It would also stop the monthly out-flow of scares and much needed foreign currency.  The project beneficiaries are the Government of Zambia, Zambia Electricity Corporation Limited (ZESCO) and the people of Kafue city.

It involves 1) the rehabilitation, expanssion, furnishing and equipping of 24 Primary schools in rural areas, and provision of in-service training to the teachers at these schools  2) strengthening of the National In-service Teachers College (NISTCOL) through the rehabilitation and construction of facilities, furnishing and equipping of these facilities, and training of staff  3) rehabilitation and construction of facilities, furnishing and equipping the facilities, and training of staff at two secondary schools, David Kaunda and Hillcrest  4) strengthening of the national school maintenance capacity through the provision of training and equipment  5) support to project management through the provision of technical assistance and equipment.  The project objective is to contribute to increased access and improved quality and equity of primary and secondary education.

Zambia - Small-Scale Irrigation Project (SIP). The Small-Scale Irrigation Project (SIP) is a Bank Group response to the Government of Zambia's request for assistance in financing three projects in the agricultural sector in 1998. This project is articulated around three essential components. It aims to increase food production and household income of the target group of the project. The main expected outcomes are: increased Agriculture’s contribution to GDP by more than 17.3% by PY6  the 25% maize deficit eliminated  household income increased from: USD 0.66 to 1.85 for small-holders, and USD 2.05 to 9.30 for emerging farms by the end of the project. The first is related to the development of irrigation, consisting of establishing and rehabilitating 1,890 ha of small scale sustainable projects. The second component focuses on building savings and the provision of rural credit to improve the access of farmers' groups to financial resources to undertake agricultural activities in the short and medium term and to obtain agricultural inputs. The credit fund should be routed through a local commercial bank for retrocession to legally registered FCOPs via a competitively selected microfinance institution. The third is capacity building of executing agencies and the management of target groups in various fields.  The agriculture sector goal is to contribute to GDP growth while achieving food security and poverty reduction. The project objectives are to increase food production and household income of the target group of the project.  The project was to directly benefit some 1,650 small and medium-scale farm families or about 9,900 individuals in the Gwembe Valley and Southern Province and precisely at six sites located in three districts namely: Sinazongwe, Mazabuka (Southern Province) and Chongwe (Lusaka Province).

Uganda - Covid-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program (CRSP). The COVID-19 Crisis Response Support Program (CRSP) to Uganda is designed as budget support within the framework of the Bank Group’s COVID-19 Crisis Response Facility. Uganda confirmed its first case of COVID-19 on 21 March 2020. This number had increased to 1,075 confirmed cases on July 22. The country’s overburdened health system does not have adequate resources to face this health emergency. Uganda is currently facing an additional challenge of a deadly invasion of desert locusts, which is posing a threat to food security and exacerbating the country’s vulnerability during this pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the Ugandan economy hard, both directly and indirectly, through global, regional and domestic transmission channels, with the hospitality, tourism, trading and manufacturing industries particularly badly affected. The Government has responded to the crisis with a broad financial package aimed at tackling the COVID-19 health emergency and supporting economic activity. It allocated resources to the health sector, expand social safety net programs, and provide targeted support to the impacted economic sectors. The program, which results from a request of the Government dated April 9th, 2020, was appraised on 15-30 April 2020, and will be applied for a period of one year (2020/2021). Bank support, estimated at UA 23 million, will provide financing to the budget for targeted spending, aimed at containing and mitigating the health and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The goal of the proposed operation is to support Uganda’s National COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan to strengthen the COVID-19 outbreak response mechanisms and mitigate the social and economic impacts of the pandemic. The proposed operation seeks to achieve three short-term and medium-term outcomes: (i) enhanced capacity to test and treat COVID-19 patients to reduce risk of infection and morbidity  (ii) ease impact of the lockdown, and other COVID-19 related measures, on the poorest  and (iii) mitigate risk to medium-term macroeconomic stabilization and economic resilience.  The program will benefit the poor and vulnerable through rapid diagnosis, isolation and management of infected persons, strengthened livelihoods and expanded social protection coverage which includes vulnerable households and the urban poor. The program will also benefit households, private sector, financial sector actors through a faster and more inclusive economic recovery on the back of a more resilient businesses and workforce.

Uganda - Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP). The Kampala City Roads Rehabilitation Project (KCRRP) is part of a citywide infrastructural improvement program. This programme seeks to meet the Government’s long-term development strategy as outlined in the Government’s Vision 2040. The project should increase and improve the quality of infrastructure stock to foster transformation of the Uganda’s economy from low income to a more competitive upper middleincome status. It aimed at tackling congestion in the city of Kampala through improvement of road network, upgrading of traffic junctions, and enhanced drainage capacity to mitigate flooding on the streets. Specifically, the project encompasses road network improvements/upgrading, road junction improvements, traffic management—including establishment of Traffic Control Centre (TCC), provision of street lighting, and storm water drainage enhancements. The implementation of the programme is undertaken in phases. The prioritized road network for improvement is 121km. The project has five main components, namely: (1) civil works  (2) project management  (3) provision of eco-bus services  (4) institutional capacity building  and (5) skills development for women and youth.  The development objective of the project is to accelerate Uganda’s competitiveness by shoring up productivity gains from infrastructure development in Kampala and integrating the growth spillovers via efficient transportation networks to the rest of the country. Specific project objectives are two-fold: i) to enhance transport efficiency in the City of Kampala by expanding the road network and upgrading traffic junctions to facilitate smooth traffic flow  and ii) to improve air quality in the city through implementation of scheduled eco-bus transit services and promoting active transport by expansion of non-motorized traffic (NMT) networks—walkways and cycling tracks, in Kampala.  The project is expected to benefit at least 1.6 million people including: commuters, businesses, and transporters passing through the city regularly, poised to experience improved transport efficiency. The all direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project will be some 1.7 million residents including those that work in the city but live outside of the project area of influence. The economic impact assessment of the Kampala City Road Rehabilitation project demonstrates that there are significant economic gains to the population directly and indirectly served by the intervention.

Uganda - Supplementary Loan to Kampala Sanitation Program (AFKSP). The present support concerns an ADF loan of UA 19.0 million to the Government of Uganda (GoU) as additional funding to the ongoing Kampala Sanitation Program (KSP) to ensure its competition and achievement of its objective. The KSP is set to address the most pressing sanitation needs for the capital City. It is part of the long-term sanitation development Program for Kampala up to 2033, elaborated in the Kampala Sanitation Master Plan study of 2004. The main expected outputs are a refurbished sewerage system including 53,000 m3/d waste water plants, 400 m3/d feacal sludge treatment plants and sewer network and treatment if the effluent going into the Murchison bay. This program is considered vital to the protection of Kampala’s natural environment but it is experiencing a funding shortfall. The additional financing can therefore lead to completion of the outputs and yield benefits to the country in one year.  The main objective of the program is to support the Government's efforts to ensure a sustainable supply of sanitation facilities with easy access for 1.4 million Ugandans in the capital Kampala. Specific program objectives include expanding access to sanitation services in the capital, reducing water-borne diseases, improving the quality of effluent discharged into Lake Victoria and the protection of the catchment areas of the city.  The direct beneficiaries of the program will be the population of Kampala which was estimated at appraisal to be 1.4 million and the people living along the nearby shores of Lake Victoria., The program will improve public health in the City and curtail water and sanitation related diseases. The main plant will generate power and will also treat effluent from the contaminated main channel draining the city before it empties into the lake.

Uganda - Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project (STWSSP). The Strategic Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project (STWSSP) is the Bank’s response to a formal request by the Government of Uganda to support Government efforts to achieve sustainable provision of safe water and hygienic sanitation for the urban population with improved resilience to climate change effects by the year 2030. It will contribute to the goals of the Government’s Vision 2040 and the Second National Development Plan (NDP II). The project comprises three components: (i) Urban Water Supply  (ii) Improved Urban Sanitation and Environmental Management  (iii) Sector Program Support (SPS). It will be implemented over a 5 year period from September 2018 to June 2024 with an estimated cost of UA 48.89 million. The project has set aside UA 1.27 million under which bankable climate change resilient investment projects will be prepared to leverage approximately USD 83 million financing from the Green Climate Fund identified under the Uganda Strategic Program for Climate Change Resilience.  The project is expected to improve the quality of service and the supply of water and sanitation facilities to towns, including women and children who bear most of the cost of water scarcity. It will also improve management and functioning of water supply and sanitation systems. This will be achieved by investing in water supply and sanitation infrastructure in ten district headquarter towns across the country.  At completion, the project is expected to benefit directly 390,000 people with improved piped water access. A total of 150 people (of which 20% will be women) will receive training in appropriate urban sanitation (masonry/mechanic artisans/waste management) while 30 communities will benefit from sanitation and hygiene promotion, targeting at least 50% women participation. The project will also support 200 youths and women in skills development for economic empowerment. About 4,000 temporary jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs will be created from project activities through stimulation of commercial activities in the services sectors such as hotels, health and education, and in agro-based industries.

Uganda - Uganda Development Bank Limited. The proposed facility fully aligns with Uganda’s “Vision 2040”, NDP II and the ADB’s CSP for Uganda. Uganda Development Bank Limited (UDBL), the country’s premier development financial institution’s duty is to help accelerate Uganda’s development by supporting small & medium enterprises (SMEs) and large-scale development projects in the various key growth sectors, thereby, address the financing gap to SMEs and Infrastructure projects in the country. The proposed financial package relates to the provision of: (i) a USD 15 million Sovereign-Guaranteed Line of Credit (LOC)  (ii) a non-sovereign USD 5 million Line of Credit under the SME Program  and, (iii) a Technical Assistance Grant of up to USD 1 million. The sovereign LOC will enhance the lending capacity of UDBL at longer tenors and at a price that is reasonable for financial intermediation while the non-sovereign LOC will facilitate additional lending to SMEs and support UDBL’s intervention in focus areas. The TA linked to the SME program funding will help strengthen the capacity of UBDL staff in areas where some weaknesses have been identified. The AfDB longer tenor funds will allow UDBL to meet its customers’ borrowing requirements particularly in industries where long tenured funds are scarce/ unavailable due to the perceived risk profile of SMEs. It will help reinforce UDB’s role as a national development bank in implementing the country’s NDP and complement UDBL’s efforts to diversify its funding base and mobilize resources from other sources.  UDBL intervenes in sectors such as agriculture and agro processing, hotel and tourism, education, health and manufacturing among others. The project will thus enhance private sector development, by demonstrating the viability of investing in growth-oriented SMEs. Additionally, increased revenue by the beneficiaries at sub-project level will lead to incremental tax. The facility will also support financial inclusion, gender and social benefits. The investment will further contribute towards provision of quality and low-cost education and health services to thus narrowing the existing widening social and income gaps in the country.

PROGRAMME DE REFORMES ECONOMIQUES II. L'objectif général du programme est de contribuer à améliorer la croissance. Les objectifs spécifiques du programme sont les suivants : (i)     réaliser un taux de croissance de 5% en moyenne entre 2001 et 2003   (ii)    maitriser le taux d'inflation en le ramenant à moins de 3% en 2002-2003   (iii) réduire le déficit budgétaire et celui du compte courant  iv) promouvoir le secteur privé. v)  réforme de la fonction publique

PROGRAMME D'APPUI AUX REFORMES III. Le programme vise à soutenir la croissance et contribuer à la réduction de la pauvreté, à travers : (i) la consolidation du cadre macro-économique   (ii) le renforcement de la gouvernance   (iii) l'intensification de la lutte contre la pauvreté   et (iv) l'élargissement de la base productive.

Cape Verde - Poverty Reduction Strategy Budget Support Program I (PRSSP I). L'objectif principal du PASRP-I est de soutenir la croissance et la lutte contre la pauvreté, en appuyant la mise en oeuvre des réformes du Document de stratégie de croissance et de réduction de la pauvreté (DSCRP). L'objectif spécifique est de contribuer à la compétitivité de l'économie et au développement du secteur privé, à travers la consolidation du cadre macroéconomique et le renforcement de l'efficacité de l'Etat en matière de finances publiques. Dans le cadre de ce programme, la Banque apporte un appui institutionnel au système de suivi-évaluation du DSCRP, en vue d'accompagner efficacement le Gouvernement dans la mise en oeuvre des réformes et de créer les conditions adéquats pour garantir la réalisation des objectifs fixés du DSCRP.

Cape Verde - The Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Programme II (PRSSP-II). Cape Verde has one of the strongest macroeconomic management performance among Sub-Saharan African countries. Over the past ten years, Cape Verde’s economy has achieved significant macroeconomic results and the Government has implemented major economic and financial reforms. The accelerated GDP growth in recent years and major investments in human capital will enable Cape Verde to achieve most of the Millennium Development Goals. Moreover, the country will continue to successfully implement a series of structural reforms with the support of its development partners, in particular the Bank. However, Cape Verde’s economy has not escaped the aftershocks of the international economic crisis despite the safety nets introduced. The shock waves of the crisis have seriously affected the tourism sector, the main engine of economic growth. According to forecasts, the economic slowdown will persist in the second half of 2009 and in 2010, Therefore, the Cape Verde Authorities must be prepared for a significant, unanticipated revenue shortfall. Consequently, the Government has defined a series of countercyclical fiscal measures in order to mitigate the impact of the crisis on economic activities. Despite the exogenous shock it is experiencing, Cape Verde has demonstrated its commitment to successfully carry through its countercyclical reform measures while pursuing its reform programme.  The goal of the additional budget support, which is aligned with that of PRSSP-II, is to contribute to poverty reduction. Its specific objective is to stimulate growth in the context of the international economic crisis, while enabling the Government to maintain its momentum in implementing its economic and institutional reform programme. The additional budget support will be underpinned by the PRSSP–II as well as the joint matrix of measures as defined by the consultative Budget Support Group (BSG). The budget support operation consolidates the two components of PRSSP-II, namely: (i) strengthening of public finance management and (ii) improving the business climate.  The beneficiaries of the additional budget support are the same as those of the PRSSP, namely
the Cape Verde population. In the particular context of the international economic crisis, the
Programme will provide greater support to the Ministry of Finance, Sector Ministries and
private sector enterprises.

Cape Verde - Additional Budget Support Loan for the Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Programme II (PRSSP-II)
 First tranche. Le but de l'appui budgétaire additionnel, qui s'aligne sur le PASRP II, est de contribuer à la réduction de pauvreté. L'appui budgétaire additionnel s'inscrit également dans le cadre du nouveau DSPAR pour 2009-13. L'opération d'appui budgétaire additionnel renforcera les deux composantes du PASRP II à savoir (i) le renforcement de la gestion des finances publiques et (ii) l'amélioration de l'environnement des affaires.

Cape Verde - Additional Budget Support Loan for the Poverty Reduction Strategy Support Program (PRSSP-II). Le PASRP II s'inscrit dans la continuité de la première opération d'appui budgétaire (PASRP I achevé en 2007) et des 3 opérations d'appui cofinancées avec les IBW et d'autres partenaires (PARE I 1997-2000, PARE II 2002-2004 et PARE III 2004-2005). Le PASRP I comprenait un don destiné à financer un appui institutionnel sur le système de suivi-évaluation du DSCRP I. 
Le PASRP II consolide les acquis du PASRP I et inaugure de nouvelles réformes pour le renforcement de la compétitivité du secteur privé. Il vise essentiellement à contribuer aux efforts de développement économique du pays, notamment la réussite de la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie de Transformation Economique (STE). A la suite de la crise financière mondiale et ses conséquences sur la croissance du pays, le Gouvernement a dû accorder des incitations fiscales au secteur privé et engager un vaste programme d’investissements publics qui ont nécessité d’importants besoins de financement. L’appui de la Banque a également contribué: (i) au maintien et à la consolidation de la bonne gouvernance économique et financière, (ii) à l'approfondissement des réformes de l'Etat, et (iii) à l'amélioration du climat des affaires.

Le PASRP II contribue principalement à la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie de Croissance et de Réduction de la Pauvreté (SCRP II) 2008 - 2011 du Cap Vert, à travers 3 parmi les 5 axes stratégiques du DSCRP II, à savoir ""réformes gouvernementales"", ""infrastructures""  et ""compétitivité de l'économie"". Il s’inscrit dans le cadre du Document Stratégie Pays (DSP) 2005 - 2007 de la Banque pour le Cap Vert prorogé en 2008. Le DSP 2009-2012 finalisé en septembre 2009 formalise les prêts additionnels.  Le programme a pour but de contribuer à la réduction de la pauvreté. L'objectif global visé est de stimuler une croissance économique et la transformation de l'économie du Cap Vert .  La population dans son ensemble.

Cape Verde - Public Finance Management and Private Sector Recovery Support Programme (PAGFP-RSP). L'objectif global du programme est de contribuer à relancer la croissance économique et à réduire le chômage. Ces deux objectifs sont parmi les plus grands défis du Gouvernement pour les cinq prochaines années. L'approche retenue par le Programme consiste d' une part à poursuivre l'appui de la Banque dans le renforcement de la gestion et de la transparence des finances publiques. D'autre part, le Programme soutiendra l'amélioration du fonctionnement du secteur financier et la facilitation de l'accès au crédit pour les micro-entreprises afin de réduire le chômage. Les micro-entreprises représentent environ 50% des emplois dans le pays mais elles sont contraintes par la rareté du crédit. La relance des activités de ces micro-entreprises contribuera à absorber une partie de la main d''uvre oisive et réduire ainsi le chômage dans le pays.  Conformément à la stratégie de la Banque au Cap Vert pour la période 2009-2012, l'ensemble des mesures appuyées par la Banque s'inscriront dans trois composantes : (i) renforcement de la gestion et la transparence des finances publiques   (ii) amélioration du fonctionnement du système financier   et (iii) amélioration de l'accès au crédit. Les résultats globaux attendus sont (i) un taux de croissance de 7% et (ii) un taux de chômage inférieur à 10%.

Cape Verde - Public Corporate Governance and Investment Promotion Support Programme (PAGEPPI). PAGEPPI is a general budget support programme which forms part of the multi-annual framework of reforms undertaken by the Government and supported by the Bank over the medium term through a programmatic approach adopted by all TFPs implementing general budget support in Cape Verde. This operation is the first phase of this programme, which is based on two key components: (i) improving the governance of public enterprises and (ii) promoting investment. Its implementation should lead to (i) strengthening the framework for regulating economic activity  (ii) redefining relations between the State and public companies  (iii) making the investment climate more attractive  (iv) improving the management of public investments and the framework for implementing PPPs.  The main objective of the Programme is to contribute to the consolidation of the macroeconomic framework and to encourage renewed growth by improving the governance of public enterprises and promoting private investment. In this context, PAGEPPI has the following operational objectives: (i) to improve the governance of public enterprises in order to rationalise public spending and (ii) to promote private investment in order to increase its contribution to economic growth and job creation.  PAGEPPI should benefit the entire population of Cape Verde, particularly users of public services.

Study On Agricultural Credit. The study aims at providing a response as to what the problems, constraints and prospect for rural credit are, and propose various alternatives to address the issue of rural credit.

Agr. Resch. & Ext. (Zarep). The Agicultural Research and Extension Project is intended to achieve the following objectives: a)  assist in strengthening the technical capacity and efficiency of the agricultural rersearch and extension services  b)  increase the productivity and utilisation of resources in agricultural research and extension  c)  sharpen the focus on agricultural research and extension services and strengthen critical linkages between the two services  d)  support institution building in agricultural reseach and extension sub-sectors 

Rehabilitation of the Agriculture Sector. The project will directly employ about 2,500 persons bringing the total wage-earning population in the country to about 64,500. Thus, the project will be employing about 3.8% of the total wage-earning population in Swaziland. These employees will in turn support their families at higher standard of living than couuld probably be derived from subsistence farming and other employments. In addition to offering employment, new townships will be developed in the project area based on the provision of services to estate and employees including medical services and recreational amenities.

Zambia - Agricultural Sector Investment Programme. The Agricultural Sector Investment Programme (ASIP) was initiated in Zambia in response to the strong dissatisfaction of both the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) and donors with the country’s low agriculture growth rates. The programme will support agricultural development research and extension services, training of project staff and beneficiaries, livestock development, infrastruture and rural credit. ASIP has a priority in the development programme of Zambia. It aims at alleviating poverty especially in the rural areas. ASIP will foster an enabling economic environment for private sector development through improvement on the essential agricultural services to farmers, and increasing investment in rural infrastructure. It will also provide a conductive framework and combine resources for Zambia’s public agricultural support services. The programme will enhance the effectiveness of public sector management by replacing more than 180 separate project units in the agricultural public expenditure programme with a single operation, managed by Zambians. Most important is that the ASIP will focus on the smallholders and women farmers, the groups with substantial untapped growth potential. The study will benefit the people and Government of Zambia, as well as participating donors, because through it, a demand driven programme will be constituted. The programme costs are estimated at ZM K 48.669.94 million or UA 27.19 million.  The programme's sector objectives are to contribute to GDP growth, poverty alleviation, and advancing social development. This would be achieved through increased household income, improved mobility and improved access to information on markets and prices. Specifically, the programme aims at enhancing the productive capacity of smallholders through improved research and extension services, credit and capacity building.  The programme will in general benefit the entire Eastern Province population, currently estimated at 1.2 million of wich 51 per cent are female. The main target group will howver be the smallholders, women farmers, the youth and women entrepreneurs engaged in micro-entreprise activities, and who are so poor in resources that they do not even qualify for any form of credit.

Zambia - Agriculture Productivity and Market Enhancement Project. The Agriculture Productivity and Market Enhancement Project (APMEP) is a stand-alone investment Project that aims at contributing to the GoZ’s efforts of increasing crop diversification, productivity, processing and improving market linkages. It also responds to the TYS (2013-2022) special emphasis on agriculture and food security and is aligned to the GAFSP. The Project will mainly contribute to core operational priority of infrastructure development and will ensure proper Governance and accountability in its implementation. It aims at development of irrigation and aquaculture, promotion of crop and livestock production and productivity, agro-processing and value addition, market linkages, men, women and youth participation and enhancement of household income, food and nutrition security. The Project has 3 components: (1) Agriculture Production and Productivity  (2) Value Chain Development and Market Linkages  and (3) Institutional Strengthening. APMEP will be implemented over a period of 5 years, in Sinazongwe, Gwembe, Chongwe, Rufunsa, Serenje and Chitambo Districts. The Project cost is UA 23.01 (USD 34.87) million.  The sector goal is to contribute to economic growth and food security. APMEP’s objectives are to contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction by enhancing food, income and nutrition security, among participating households.  The estimated total number of direct beneficiaries is 75,000 rural people including 33,750 (45%) women. The Project components support each other, as a result, some people will benefit from more than one intervention. In addition, about 40,000 people will indirectly benefit from the Project along the commodity value chain development. About 2,000 (2.7%) rural youths who presently lack employment will be targeted by the Project through income generating activities. The Project is expected to create at least 450 full-time skilled/semi-skilled and 2,200 part-time unskilled jobs in production, processing and marketing which will benefit men, women and youths.

Mozambique - Post Cyclone IDAI and Kenneth Emergency Recovery and Resilience Programme (AEFPF). The proposed operation is for an additional funding from the Transition State Facility Pillar I at the African Development Bank not exceeding a grant of UA 4.00 million, to finance the activities of Post Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Emergency Recovery and Resilience Programme (PCIREP) in Mozambique under Agriculture Emergence Food Production Facility (AEFPF) to respond to the food crisis due to the war in Ukraine and mitigate risks. The additional financial resources will be used to provide certified seeds of climate-adapted varieties, fertilizers, and quality extension services under Component 1 (Enhanced Agricultural Productivity and Resilience) of the project by facilitating modern inputs to farmers and farmer groups and Component 3 (Institutional Strengthening and Program Management) support policy reforms including strengthening national institutions with laboratory equipment overseeing input markets and agro-dealers associations and support policy and regulations design. The additional financing will generate economic and financial benefits for the country since it will help to reduce the food prices for maize, soyabeans and sesame. The Bank is also expecting complementary financing from USAID in the amount ofof US$ 5 million and 2 million from NORAD.  The main goal of the project is to contribute to Government of Mozambique’s central objective of recovery of the damaged infrastructure, improve living standards and increased agriculture production of the IDAI and Keneth cyclone affected areas. This will facilitate the productive capacity of both small and medium scale farmers to produce major crops, ensure the resilience of the power and road network for economic recovery.  The main expected outcomes are: (i) Enhanced agricultural productivity and resilience and (ii) Strengthened institutional capacity. The project is being implemented in Inhambane, Sofala, Manica, Tete, Zambezia, Nampula, Cabo Delgado and Niassa provinces.

Mozambique - Debt Sustainability Technical Assistance Project. The proposed operation is fully aligned with the country’s national development priorities, specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and key goals of the African Union’s 2063 Agenda. The Government’s long-term development strategy (Estratégia Nacional de Desenvolvimento, ENDE) 2015-2035 has as its main objectives the improvement of the livelihoods of the population through the transformation of the economy and the expansion and diversification of national production. The ENDE is being implemented through 5-year government programs (Programas Quinquenais Governamentais, PQGs). The most recent PQG 2020-2024 aims to increase employment, productivity and competitiveness to improve living conditions in rural and urban areas, while consolidating inclusive participatory governance. The program’s focus on economic governance, through strengthening the current public financial management (PFM) strategy, is also fully consistent with the Government’s strategic plans and policy documents, including: the medium-term fiscal framework (MTFF) 2023-2025, the 2022 Social and Economic Plan, and the PAE launched in August 2022.  The overall development objective of the proposed operation is to build Mozambique’s resilience by strengthening debt management capacity to mitigate debt sustainability related risks, therefore enhancing economic resilience and national capacity in that area. The specific objectives is to strengthen sustainable public debt management including capacity to issue climate-related debt instruments to mobilize resources for much-needed green investments. This project will also help Mozambique implement the recommendations of the SADC Peer Review Panel on improving the country’s compliance with the established regional Macroeconomic Convergence (MEC) Targets.  The MEC has three primary convergence criteria (Inflation, Fiscal Deficit and Public Debt). The report puts emphasis on strengthening the capacity of national structures responsible for such and the alignment of national priorities with regional commitments, including the recommendations of the Peer Review Panel.  The direct beneficiaries of the intervention will be the staff of DNGDP who will be upskilled through access to procedures manuals, receive specialized training and benefit from expertise provided from technical assistants. This will also directly benefit the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). Indirectly, the proposed project will benefit the population of Mozambique as a whole by averting future debt arrears and debt sustainability issues, increasing the mobilization of financing for critical investments – including green investments – and setting the country on a path to macroeconomic stability, resilience and inclusive economic growth. The project will ultimately also benefit all citizens of Mozambique as improved debt management will lead to better use of public resources  stronger growth and job creation  a strengthened internal and external controls framework  improved public expenditure quality and better public services  and additional fiscal space for essential public services. Overall, greater transparency will lead to an increased confidence in public institutions.

Mozambique - Project Preparation Facility (PPF) for Agriculture. The proposed AGRIZIDERP preparation study will address various aspects of the value chain starting from production to consumption including technical, institutional, social, economic, and environmental aspects. It is expected that after the conclusion of the feasibility study, the Bank in coordination with Government of Mozambique (GoM), Development Partners and Private Sector will finance the program under Feed Africa Initiative. The PPF advance requested will be used to finance the feasibility study of a The Agro-processing Zone and Resilience Program of Limpopo Special Economic Zone (AGRIZIDERP), as described in this proposal The concerned program aims to catalyze a process that results in a market system that is competitive, inclusive, and resilient.  To ensure good program quality at entry, implementation, monitoring of system changes and at impact evaluation and to also fast track the preparation of this important program, comprehensive feasibility studies including marketing analysis, detailed engineering designs with Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and detailed designs need to be completed before program preparation and appraisal stages.  The main objective of the AGRIZIDERP in the Limpopo Corridor is to promote a competitive and inclusive agribusiness in Gaza and Inhambane provinces through increasing agricultural production and productivity, by providing rural infrastructure support to production (irrigation, feeder roads, storage facilities, use of improved agricultural inputs, certified seeds and fertilizers), agro-processing, access to market and promotion of the value chain development. The overall objective of preparation is to develop an organizational structure and a productive restructuring that allows territorial governance of the AGRIZIDERP with a view to promote production and economic development.  This intervention will benefit the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) and agricultural stakeholders.

Mozambique - Institutional Support Project for Business Environment and Governance (ISP-BEG). The proposed project is designed to leverage the Bank’s comparative advantage in supporting economic governance reforms in Mozambique. The ISP-BEG responds to a request from the authorities for Bank support to address key binding constraints to the country’s economic growth and development. This will be delivered through support to the Government’s flagship PAE reform agenda, which seeks to unleash the country’s economic growth potential by addressing two key constraints: (i) an unconducive business environment which hampers investment, job creation and growth  and (ii) a public finance management system with weaknesses in key areas which lower the quality of public expenditure and investment and creates mismanagement and corruption risks. It will support the Government in its efforts to implement reforms to accelerate inclusive economic growth by improving economic governance, creating a more conducive environment for the private sector, and hence increasing investor confidence in the economy. The proposed operation has two mutually reinforcing and complementary components, namely: (a) Improving the business environment  and (b) Strengthening the efficiency, accountability and transparency of public expenditure  as well as a third component focusing on (c) Project management.  The overarching development objective of the project is to strengthen resilience through institutional capacity enhancement for private sector development and public financial management.  The project’s direct beneficiaries are the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Mineral Resource and Energy, Ministry of Employment and Social Security, Ministry of Lands and Environment, Ministry of Women and Social Action, Investment and Export Promotion Agency (APIEX), Administração Tributária (Tax Revenue Authority), Inspecção Geral das Finanças (Inspector General of Finance), National Standardization and Quality Control Institute, and the SME Institute (IPEME). The private sector will benefit from an improved business environment through streamlined administrative procedures for businesses and investment, a modernized investment and employment legal framework, optimized tax incentives for investment, and a more efficient, transparent and equitable public procurement system. The project will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of Mozambique, as an improved business environment will lead to growth and job creation  a strengthened public procurement system and internal and external controls framework will lead to improved public expenditure quality and better public services  and a strengthened oversight framework for natural resource exports will lead to increased tax revenue and additional fiscal space for essential public services.

Mozambique - Economic Acceleration and Governance Support Programme, Phase I (EAGSP). The proposed projet aims to support the Government in its efforts to accelerate economic growth by creating a more enabling environment for economic recovery and green growth through wide-ranging green economy opportunities (GEO) and climate-friendly business environment enhancements together with a strengthening of the quality of PFM. To this end it will support reforms in the private sector, thereby attracting private investments, especially in the agro-industrial sector, fostering economic and social development. The Economic Acceleration and Governance Support Programme (EAGSP) will further contribute to reducing poverty by making PFM systems more efficient and improving the business environment. It will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of Mozambique, as an improved business environment will lead to growth and job creation, and a strengthened public procurement system and internal and external controls framework will lead to improved public expenditure quality and better public services. The key envisaged outcomes are: (1) FATF ESAAMLG follow-up report on Mozambique showing reduction in noncompliance with recommendations reduced to 5 in 2024 (from 10 in 2021)  (2) Share of public contract value awarded through direct procurement reduced to 30% in 2024 (from 44.7% in 2020)  and (3) CPIA Debt Policy indicator score increases to 2.50 in 2024 (from 2.00 in 2021). The reforms planned under the proposed programme are based on two mutually reinforcing and complementary components. Component 1 focuses on improving the enabling environment for the private sector with a view to economic recovery and green growth. Component 2 concerns on strengthening the efficiency, accountability and transparency of public spending.  The program objective is to improve the business enabling environment and increase efficiency and transparency of public expenditure to support economic resilience and green growth.  The program’s direct beneficiaries are the MEF, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIC), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER), Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA), the Investment and Export Promotion Agency (APIEX) and the Administrative Tribunal (TA). The private sector will benefit from an improved business environment through streamlined administrative procedures for businesses and investment, a modernized investment and employment legal framework, optimized tax incentives for investment, and a more efficient, transparent and equitable public procurement system. The program will ultimately indirectly benefit all citizens of Mozambique.

Mozambique - Chimoio Inclusive Urban Sanitation Project. This operation concerns the Chimoio Inclusive Urban Sanitation Project. The proposed project will be the first investment in the water and sanitation sector in Mozambique approved by the Bank since November 2010. It will ultimately contribute to a reduction in the incidence of water-borne diseases, reduce river and soil pollution and promote the reuse of treated water and sludge for agricultural purposes. The people of Chimoio will be able to use better-quality, climate-resilient sanitation facilities, have their wastewater treated safely and benefit from a wastewater treatment plant that treats faecal matter from the municipality's on-site sanitation facilities. The project will comprise three components: i) development of a sanitation infrastructure  ii) design studies for the water supply to the towns of Cuamba and Lichinga  iii) institutional strengthening and project management.  The Project Development Objective is to provide access to improved sanitation services to the population of Chimoio. Specifically, the project will improve and increase access to the sewerage network as well as to public and household sanitation facilities, and the municipality will benefit from a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).  The projected population of the Municipality for the Phase 1 intervention is 483,025 people (up from 363,336 in 2017), of whom about 50.8% are female. Nearly 44% of the population are 0 to 14 years old. The proposed improvements in environmental sanitation, and the hygiene and sanitation education, will provide direct benefits to the residents, notably women who bear the brunt of poor health in households. The specific beneficiaries and level of support will be assessed and detailed in collaboration with local leaders during the design review phase, as part of community hygiene education and promotion.

Mozambique - Netherlands Additional Financing under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). This intervention concerns the additional financing under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) related to the Post Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Emergency Recovery and Resilience Programme (PCIREP). The programme is designed in response to the devastation and destruction caused by these phenomena in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. It aims to restore livelihoods, wellbeing and build resilience of the communities in the three affected countries with the emphasis of reaching the furthest behind first. The program proposes solutions to tackle recovery and resilience processes in a medium to long-term perspective through a multi-sectoral and build-back-better approach to infrastructure reconstruction/rehabilitation, restoration of agricultural livelihoods and promotion of resilience to climate shocks, disasters, and extreme weather events. The programme is expected to restore livelihoods and wellbeing of the affected communities and increase access to productive resources through agriculture productivity and resilience and rehabilitation of socioeconomic infrastructure to facilitate integration, connectivity and economic activities in the region. The programme has three components, namely: (i) Enhanced agricultural productivity and resilience, (ii) Sustainable socioeconomic infrastructure and (iii) Institutional strengthening and programme management.  The goal of the programme is to restore and improve sustainable livelihoods of the affected vulnerable groups of the population, enhance disaster risk reduction, early warning preparedness, support inclusive social and economic recovery empowerment, and enhance post recovery adaptive capacity.  It is estimated that about one million people will directly benefit from the programme. The intended interventions will invariably benefit women and youth in building their postdisaster resilience and the programme will specifically target 50% women and 40% young people in the Programme area. Other direct beneficiaries include Governments of Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe whose capacities will be strengthened to better integrate response to climate and disaster risks, enhance community resilience and adaptation in order to promote smart agriculture, disaster and climate resilient investments across sectors and at national and community level.

Mozambique - Songo-Matambo Transmission Line. The Matambo Transmission Line Project is designed to increase the reliability and security of supply and promote regional power systems integration and power trade. It is part of a broader effort by EDM to implement network upgrades permitting the installation and evacuation of additional power generation capacity, thus contributing to the assertion of Mozambique as an energy hub for the region.

In addition, this project will improve the quality of supply in the Centre and North regions that are home to the greatest part of the ppulaton of Mozambique, contributing to the country’s development. The implementation of the project will also be material towards attaining the overall objective of integrating the country’s power network via a transmission backbone system (i.e., the STE project).  The broad objective of the project is to increase the reliability and security of supply and promote regional power system integration and power trade.  The Songo - Matambo Project is in the Cahora Bassa and Changara Districts and will enable the expansion of electricity access, benefiting primarily the consumers of the central region of Mozambique, namely the Provinces of Tete, Manica, Sofala and Zambezia, including northern region covering the Provinces of Nampula, Cabo Delgado and Niassa.

Mozambique - Inclusive Agro-Food Value Chain Project for PROCAVA. The Inclusive Agri-Food Value Chain Development Project (PROCAVA) aims to accelerate the transformation of the Poultry Sector in Mozambique through competitive, inclusive, and sustainable growth. Its primary focus is on integrating family farming and the private sector into productive poultry value chains, including maize and soybean. The project is built upon the recommendations derived from the High-Level Summit, known as Dakar II, which took place in February 2023 in Dakar, co-hosted by the Bank and the Government of Senegal. PROCAVA will introduce measures that mitigate the impacts of climatic shocks and improve the sector's overall adaptive capacity. By adopting climate-smart agricultural practices and resilient production systems, the country can better withstand the challenges posed by climate change and ensure the long-term sustainability of its agricultural sector. The project has four main components, namely: (i) improved production and market linkages (of the target maize, soybean and poultry value chains), (ii) climate-resilient market-linked infrastructure, (iii) institutional and policy strengthening and implementation support, and (iv) contingent emergency response.  The project will be contributing to the PROCAVA goal (in line with the on-going PROCAVA programme that is currently being financed by IFAD in Mozambique) that aims to contribute to poverty reduction, improve food and nutrition security and resilient livelihoods for inclusive rural transformation. The Development Objective is to ‘Increase Net Incomes from Climate-Resilient Agri-Food Value Chains by Rural Women, Men and Youth’. The Bank co-financing aims to increase poultry value chains (including maize and soybean) supply by transforming the Agriculture Sector being into more competitive, inclusive, and sustainable.  The project will target smallholder farmers, emergent and private farmers that are working in the selected value chains under an out-growers’ schemes. The project targets to increase the net income of 50,800 smallholder producers (50% women and 30% youth) in selected districts of the five (5) Provinces and 15 districts. Out of the 50,800 farmers, 10,000 will be smallholder poultry producers and the other 40,800 will be producers supported with interventions aimed at strengthening their climate resilience in the soya and maize value chains. The project will further pay particular attention to women headed households and the youth while ensuring that women in men headed households are not left out. The project will involve beneficiaries from the selected provinces, while IFAD will be working all over the country.

Zambia - Sustainable Livestock Infrastructure Management Project (SLIMP). The Sustainable Livestock Infrastructure Management Project (SLIMP) is in line with Zambia’s National Vision 2030 and Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP: 2017-2021). Based on the strategy of economic diversification, the Government has launched a nationwide programme to scale-up development of the livestock sub-sector and enhance its contribution to the national economy. The livestock sub-sector is an important source of economic growth, job creation, and household incomes, which contribute to poverty reduction. This is a stand-alone investment Project aimed at promoting sustainable livestock value chain development in Zambia. The Project consists of three (3) components namely: (a) Technologies for African Agriculture Transformation (TAAT)-based Climate Resilient Livestock Production and Productivity  (b) Infrastructure Development, Management and Commercialisation  and (c) Institutional Support and Capacity Building. The Project cost, including physical and price contingencies, is UA 9.02 million. It will be implemented over a period of 3 years.  The livestock sub-sector’s goal is to transform small-scale livestock farming into sustainable commercialised value chains which contribute to income generation, poverty reduction and employment creation. The project’s objective is to contribute to poverty reduction through enhanced sustainable use of livestock infrastructure for improved livestock production and productivity, commercialisation and institutional capacity building. This will lead to improved household food and nutrition security, and incomes. SLIMP outcomes include (i) enhanced incomes of small-scale livestock farmers including entrepreneurs, and (ii) empowerment of livestock-keeping farmer organisations through improved access to public and private sector services.  The Project is expected to directly benefit 248 registered livestock-keeping groups with more than 100,000 households (HH) with fully-paid-membership status (33,600 female headed HH). In addition, 90,000 livestock keeping HH, within participating Districts, will indirectly benefit from improved livestock infrastructure and services. About 800,000 people, including 400,000 women and 70,000 youths, will indirectly benefit from increase in supply of quality livestock products. The Project will directly create 120 permanent jobs, 18,000 seasonal jobs, and 60,000 indirect seasonal jobs along the livestock value chain. About 20,000 women between 12-49 years, and 12,000 children under 2 years will be reached through nutrition interventions and outputs which will be targeted towards improving access by women of reproductive age (including adolescent girls) and children to nutritionally valuable milk and also meat products. In addition, the community based and mass media Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) activities will benefit many women, men, boys and girls in Zambia.

Zambia - Commercial Farm Project. The Government of Zambia has prioritised agriculture among the key sectors that would spur
economic growth and reduce poverty. To this effect, a National Agricultural and Cooperative Policy was enacted in 2004 calling for the development of an efficient, competitive and sustainable agriculture sector through strengthening farmer organisations and development of infrastructure in high potential agricultural areas. The Government intends to provide support to link farmers and producers to markets as a sustainable way of reducing poverty by improving their incomes, increasing agricultural production and sustaining economic growth.

Luapula Province Farming Study. The project will provide finance to support: i) research  ii) training of staff  and iii) technical assistance and local counterparts.

Zambia - Agriculture Marketing Processing and Infrastructure Project. Zambia has an agricultural sector that has a high potential. However this potential has hitherto not been optimally tapped due to inappropriate policies and institutional set-up and also its heavy reliance on copper. The Government has realised that with the continuous deterioration in the world price of copper and fallen ouput, one of the most realistic option of revitalising the economy is the development of the agricultural sector.
The proposed project is an important instrument in consolidating the adjustment measures already implemented with the agricultural sector. The project is also listed among the priority projects within the Public sector Investment Program (1991-1994) and is co-financed by IDA, local banks and beneficiaries of the project.  The overall objective of the project is to increase the availability of the credit and services for agricultural production.  The specific project objectives are to stimulate the participation of private operators in marketing and processing, agriculrural crops, fertilizer distribution and rural transportation  rehabilitate rural roads which are essential for increased agricultural production  rehabilitate about 20,000 ha of abandoned or underutilized farms  and promote women activities including access to credit under the project.  Small-scale farmers, women, etc.

Zambia - Feasibility studies and designs for integrated and sustainable urban sanitation. The project is the outcome of a proposal submitted by the Zambia Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection (MWDSEP) to the African Water Facility (AWF) in May 2019, together with a funding request for project preparation. The project seeks to contribute towards Government’s effort to improve access to integrated and sustainable faecal sludge management and to achieve the SDGs for sanitation in urban areas in Zambia by 2030. Indeed, according to the 2017 Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) Update, access to basic water supply and sanitation stands at 61% (42% rural and 84% urban) for water supply and 26% (19% rural and 36% urban) for sanitation. About 19% (32% rural and 3% urban) of the population practice open defecation, while 14% (5% rural and 26% urban) have access to basic handwashing facilities with soap and water. Poor access to water, sanitation and hygiene services coupled with a rapidly expanding population, poor urban planning, unhygienic practices and impacts of climate change present challenges for both public and environmental health. The project addresses issues relating to inclusive access, cost recovery and sustainability along the value chain. It will be implemented in line with the National Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Program. The Program provides opportunity for a number of sector related project interventions to be implemented to improve access to sustainable services. The proposed project is one such intervention that seeks to improve access to sustainable sanitation and hygiene services by (i) increasing access to improved household and public sanitation, (ii) improving collection, treatment and disposal infrastructure, and (c) building capacity for the sustainable management of sanitation facilities in urban and peri-urban areas of Lusaka, Livingstone, Choma, Ndola, Petauke, Chavuma, Mansa, Kapiri-Mposhi, Kabwe, Solwezi, Kasama and Chipata. It comprises two (2) main components: (i) Feasibility Studies and Engineering Design  and (ii) Project Management. The estimated total cost of the project (excluding taxes) is € 1 356 863, of which 24 % is in local currency equivalent. It shall be executed over a period of 30 months from the date of Grant approval.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to increase access to safe, sustainable and inclusive sanitation services, with improved hygiene and faecal sludge management services for people living in urban and peri-urban areas in Zambia. The specific objectives are to contribute to: (a) increase access to safe, sustainable and inclusive on-site sanitation facilities  (b) increase access to efficient and sustainable faecal sludge management infrastructure and services  and (c) create opportunities for increased sub sector investments.  The project’s direct beneficiaries are the Urban and Peri Urban Dwellers, Municipalities, Commercial Utilities, National Water Supply and Sanitation Council (NWASCO) and Sector Ministries. With realization of the downstream investments, the direct beneficiaries would be the (a) initial 2,400,000, and subsequently by 2030, the additional 1,004,000 urban dwellers without adequate access to sustainable and inclusive sanitation services. The study will likely contribute to the creation of about 200 new jobs following realization of the downstream investments. Other indirect beneficiaries are Private Sector Operators, local NGOs and Community Based Organizations (CBOs), etc.

The overall PRSL objective is to reinforce economic reforms and good governance policies to accelerate growth and reduce poverty.  The ultimate beneficiaries of the program are the people of Mozambique.

Mozambique - Institutionnal Support for Public Sector Reform. Institutional Support Project for Public Sector Reform is designed because of the need for the Government of Mozambique (GoM) to improve the framework of the public sector characterized by inefficiency and highly bureaucratic. The project is expected also to contribute to the improvement of the governance environment and by so doing help to satisfy a fundamental condition for growth and poverty reduction. By contributing to the strengthening of the government’s capacity to deliver public service, the proposed project should facilitate the implementation of the Government’s poverty reduction program and reinforce its efforts to promote good governance. The project has two components: (i) the establishment of 6 One-Stop Shops that should contribute to improve service delivery through decentralization and institutional restructuring and (ii) training activities set up by the Higher Institute of Public Administration (ISAP) directed to the managerial cadre within the public service. Both components should contribute to capacity building within the public sector and implement the Government of Mozambique Public Sector Reform Program objectives.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to building the capacity of the public sector and implement GoM’s PSRP objectives. The specific objectives are: (i) to improve service delivery through decentralization and institutional restructuring  and (ii) to enhance professionalism within the public sector.  The project should benefit, among others, the one-stop-shop (OSS). This OSS focuses on improving the relationship between citizens and the State by providing better public services. The citizens and companies are the major beneficiaries as a result of reduced transaction costs and improved convenience. Main beneficiaries of the ISAP project are civil servants who hold a position of Director or Chief at central and provincial levels. Particularly, there are benefits for civil servants whose qualification is below their position and for officials with a specialized higher education (agronomy, medicine, engineering, etc.) who hold executive positions with a strong administrative component.

Lesotho - Supplemental Financing of the Lesotho Tax Modernization Project (LTMP). The proposed intervention is an ADF Loan of UA 3 million to the Kingdom of Lesotho for the supplementary financing to the Lesotho Tax Modernisation Project (LTMP) approved in 2017 for an original estimated cost of UA 5.0 million. The Project is aligned to (a) Lesotho’s long-term development agenda as laid out in the National Strategic Development Plan II (NSDP II, 2018/19-2022/23), which places renewed emphasis on addressing the challenges of unemployment and poverty through promoting an inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The LTMP activities are advancing well with several contracts having been signed. Notwithstanding the progress, the Project is faced with a financing gap due to cost overrun. Some activities, especially e-taxation, VAT compliance solution, and data analytic capacity were under budgeted and during project implementation, the actual costs for the such activities (both for goods and consulting services) have been determined. The supplementary financing proposal seeks to enhance the realization of the Project development objective. These additional resources are provided to finance existing shortfalls under e-Taxation and VAT compliance which are the backbone of the project. The Project components remain the same as approved under the on-going LMTP and are as follows: (i) Enhancing tax modernization, (ii) Institutional strengthening, and (iii) Project Management Support. It is anticipated that all the activities will be completed by 30th June 2023.  The overarching development objective of the Project is to promote economic growth and poverty reduction by improving effectiveness of tax administration to create fiscal space (i.e. increased tax revenues) to finance the country’s development plan. The specific objective is to strengthen tax administration capacity by expanding the tax base, modernizing collection and compliance procedures, amending, and consolidating the legal framework, and strengthening the institutional framework.  The direct project beneficiaries are the Lesotho Revenue Authority (LRA), and the Ministry of Finance through institutional capacity building support and technical assistance to improve revenue collection capacity. The indirect beneficiaries are the private sector (taxpayers) through a simplified tax regime and streamlined tax procedures for small business taxpayers. To the extent that the increased tax revenues are channelled to social and economic expenditure that will directly benefits the poor segments of the society.

Lesotho - Likalaneng-Thaba Tseka Road Project. Likalaneng-Thaba Tseka Road Project is part of theupgrading/rehabilitation, maintenance and capacity building efforts the Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance Program (RRMP).  It's designed to assist a proportion of the isolated rural communities through increased access to markets and basic social infrastructure services (i.e., market centers, access roads, schools and clinics) at lower costs, facilitate and improve traffic movements to and from the central mountain region. Upgrading of the proposed road in the central mountain region is expected to impact positively on the rural community through the generation of employment during project implementation and ensuing maintenance activities, improved accessibility to markets, schools, health centers and rural service centers. It comprises three components  namely: (A) civil works through upgrading of 85 km of existing gravel road to a Class A bitumen road standard of a width of 7.0-meter carriageway and 1.0-meter paved shoulders on either side between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka  (B) consultant services for supervision of the above civil works  and (C) project audit services.  The project should contribute towards the sector goal of facilitating economic development and poverty reduction by improving the efficiency of the national transport infrastructure particularly in the rural mountainous areas of the country. The project objectives are to reduce vehicle operating and road maintenance costs and to improve the quality of transport service levels between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka.  The operators are intermediate beneficiaries and the ultimate beneficiaries are the 20,000 or so passengers carried annually on the route. Freight and passenger services from the wider community into the project area are generally provided by the private sector. Freight is moved mainly by operators out of Maseru, as are most of the passenger’s services. Five private bus operators serving the project link were identified, four covering the route Maseru-Thaba Tseka and one covering the route between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka. The latter should derive the greatest proportionate benefit from reduction in operating costs as the whole route is covered by the improvement.

It's designed to assist a proportion of the isolated rural communities through increased access to markets and basic social infrastructure services (i.e., market centers, access roads, schools and clinics) at lower costs, facilitate and improve traffic movements to and from the central mountain region. Upgrading of the proposed road in the central mountain region is expected to impact positively on the rural community through the generation of employment during project implementation and ensuing maintenance activities, improved accessibility to markets, schools, health centers and rural service centers. It comprises three components  namely: (A) civil works through upgrading of 85 km of existing gravel road to a Class A bitumen road standard of a width of 7.0-meter carriageway and 1.0-meter paved shoulders on either side between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka  (B) consultant services for supervision of the above civil works  and (C) project audit services.  The project should contribute towards the sector goal of facilitating economic development and poverty reduction by improving the efficiency of the national transport infrastructure particularly in the rural mountainous areas of the country. The project objectives are to reduce vehicle operating and road maintenance costs and to improve the quality of transport service levels between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka.  The operators are intermediate beneficiaries and the ultimate beneficiaries are the 20,000 or so passengers carried annually on the route. Freight and passenger services from the wider community into the project area are generally provided by the private sector. Freight is moved mainly by operators out of Maseru, as are most of the passenger’s services. Five private bus operators serving the project link were identified, four covering the route Maseru-Thaba Tseka and one covering the route between Likalaneng and Thaba Tseka. The latter should derive the greatest proportionate benefit from reduction in operating costs as the whole route is covered by the improvement.

Botswana - The Economic Diversification Support Programme. The present Economic Diversification Support Programme (EDSL) is designed to support the implementation of the Government’s 2009/10 budget aimed at alleviating the negative impact of the global financial and economic crisis on Botswana’s economy. It should permit to fill part of the budget deficit (13.5% of GDP) through the creation of a competitive environment conducive to accelerating private sector growth, economic diversification and poverty reduction. The programme should also reinforce GoB’s efforts to sustain growth, employment and poverty reduction in the long run. The EDSL focuses on the following key areas of reforms (i) promotion of privatization and Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) initiatives, (ii) Improvement of competitiveness and trade, and (iii) improvement of financial sector governance and strengthening of the regulation of nonbank financial institutions.  The program’s sector goal is to create competitive conditions for accelerated private sector growth, economic diversification and poverty reduction. This will facilitate, in the long-term, reduction of dependence on mineral revenue and help to alleviate the negative impact of the global financial and economic crisis on Botswana’s economy, in particular fiscal sustainability. The operational policy objectives of the program are: (a) promoting the private sector as the mainstay of economic growth, and (b) deepening the financial sector and strengthening the regulation of Nonbank Financial Institutions (NBFIs).  The EDSL is designed to assist the GoB to implement the 2009/10 budget which represents a stimulus package in response to the global financial and economic crisis. Therefore, the GoB is the direct beneficiary, while the private sector actors and the entire population of Botswana who will benefit from an improved private sector environment and pro-poor budget allocation for better quality social services delivery, are the indirect beneficiaries.

Botswana - Economic Recovery Support Program – Phase II (ERSP II). Remaining consistent with the original program approved by the Board of Directors on 8 September 2021, the goal of ERSP II is to support resilience and post-COVID 19 pandemic inclusive economic recovery through improved governance and real sector structural reforms. The three components continue to be: Component 1: Improving Fiscal Efficiency and Sustainability  Component 2: Supporting Private sector-led Agriculture, and Industrial Sector Transformation  and Component 3: Enhancing Resilience and Social Inclusion.  The  key outputs  of  the  Program  are  (i) Efficiency  of  public  spending  improved (PFM  Bill approved  Public Procurement Regulatory Authority established)  (ii) Domestic resource mobilization enhanced (Tax Administration Bill approved)  Income Tax (Amendment) Bill approved  cost recovery measures adopted) (iii) Climate-smart agriculture sector productivity and value addition, and job creation enhanced (Revised  National  Policy on  Agriculture  Development  and  Transformation approved)  Meat  Industry  Regulatory  Authority  Bill approved  Industrialization framework strengthened (Cabinet approval to establish a research fund)  Enabling environment for private investment improved Secured  Transactions  on  Movable  Property  Bill approved    PPP  Regulations approved  Revised  electricity grid  code  and  licensing  framework approved)   MSME development framework and capacity strengthened (Technical Vocational Education and Training Policy approved  National Productivity Blueprint approved by Cabinet)  Social protection and gender mainstreaming enhanced (Retirement Fund Bill approved  single social registry fully rolled out  Gender Equity Bill approved).  The program’s direct beneficiaries are  the  various  Ministries,  Departments  and  Agencies whose reforms are being supported by the operation. These are the Ministry of Finance  Ministry of Minerals  and  Energy  Ministry of  Agriculture  Ministry  of  Education  and  Skills  Development  Ministry  of  Trade  and Industry  Ministry  of Youth,  Gender, Sports  and Culture  Ministry  of  Local Government and Rural  Development  Ministry of  Communication,  Knowledge  and  Technology  Botswana  Unified  Revenue  Services  and the Public Enterprise  Evaluation  and  Privatization  Agency (PEEPA). The  private  sector  will benefit  from  improved investment  opportunities  in agriculture and manufacturing. As well  as PPP  opportunities.  The  MSMEs  will benefit  from improved policy framework  and  access to  affordable  finance,  markets,  and business skills,  as the  economy  recovers from the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the program will indirectly benefit all Batswana as enhanced fiscal performance will help to expand fiscal space for development and pro-poor  social  spending.  On account  of pre-existing  gender-based  inequalities,  youth and  women  will likely  have experienced  more  difficulty  during the  pandemic.  The program  will  help  to  address some of these challenges.

Botswana - Economic Recovery Support Program (ERSP). The proposed project is a loan of One hundred and thirty-seven million United States Dollars (USD 137,000,000.00) to the Republic of Botswana to finance the Economic Recovery Support Program (ERSP). The operation is designed in response to a request submitted by the Government of the Republic of Botswana (GRB) in November 2020. The ERSP is designed as a programmatic series of two consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the fiscal years 2021/22-2022/23. The proposed loan is the first of the two-year series of the Program Based Operation (PBO). Designed as a two-year programmatic operation, the ERSP will help address immediate macroeconomic challenges as well as medium to long term challenges facing Botswana. The long-term tenure of the Government’s borrowing for this operation will help to improve the reserve position and extend the maturity profile of Government debt. The package of reforms under the proposed program is organised around three mutually reinforcing and complementary components. Component 1, Improving Fiscal Efficiency and Sustainability. Component 2, Supporting Private sector-led Agriculture, and Industrial Sector Transformation. Component 3, Enhancing Economic and Social Inclusion. Program implementation will be strengthened through the complementary ongoing and planned technical assistance supported by development partners.  The overarching objective of the program is to support post-pandemic economic recovery through improved governance, business enabling environment and real sector reforms for inclusive growth. It will support the Government in its efforts, during the current financial straits, to increase the efficiency in public spending, domestic resources mobilisation, and implement reform programs to improve enabling environment for private sector development, to enhance climate-smart agriculture, and to strengthen the framework for industrialisation all geared towards job creation. To that end, the operation supports economic recovery and transformation initiatives at the centre of Government’s national development plan.  The program’s direct beneficiaries are the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies whose reforms are being supported by the operation. These are the Ministries of Finance and Economic Development  Investment, Trade, and Industry  Agricultural Development  and the ministries responsible for Tourism, Social Protection Program, and Gender and Employment. The private sector will benefit from improved investment opportunities in agriculture, tourism and industry and PPP opportunities. The MSMEs will benefit from improved policy framework and access to affordable finance, markets, and business skills, as they struggle to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the program will indirectly benefit all Batswana as enhanced fiscal performance will help to expand fiscal space for development and pro-poor social spending. On account of pre-existing gender-based inequalities, youth and women will likely have experienced more difficulty during ongoing the pandemic.

The Arable Lands Development project phase 1. The proposed project would improve the socio-economic status of small scale farmers and the non farming rural poor by supporting the process of community mobilisation and promoting the development of more effective agricultural services, including technology generation (applied research) and transfer (extension)  input supply and marketing  credit  and farm and off-farm investments.   In essence, the agricultural activities of the project would continue where ALDEP I left off - but with much greater emphasis on technology transfer and skill training.

Veterinary Services Development Project. i)     To safeguard Botswana's export markets for meat and livestock products by developing its veterinary disease diagnostic capacity in livestock diseases, their control and the maintenance of the quality of beef and meat products from the Botswana Meat Commission Abattoir at Labotse. ii)     To reduce over-reliance on South Arrica for animal health services and to serve other Southern African States.

Botswana - The Pandamatenga Agricultural Infrastructure Development Project. The Pandamatenga Agricultural Infrastructure Development Project was initiated because of the priority given by Government of Botswana owing to the area’s inherent potential to increase cereal production. Indeed, Pandamatenga area is highly suitable for arable agriculture because of a relatively high rainfall of 600mm per annum and inherently fertile soil. The present project will facilitate water control and access road development for rain fed agricultural production within 27,574 ha of farm land in Pandamatenga area. It will incorporate water management and ecosystem conservation concepts in crop production, train beneficiaries and provide equipment for effective production activities. The project will support the construction of drainage and road infrastructure within 27,574 ha rain-fed systems  strengthen human and logistic capacities of the MoA and farmer associations. It comprises three main components: 1) Infrastructure Development  2) Agricultural Production Improvement  and 3) Project Coordination.  The sector goal is to contribute to the attainment of increased crop diversification, agricultural output and productivity as contained in the National Master Plan for Agricultural and Dairy Development. The specific objective of the project is to develop appropriate water control/drainage system and access road network in Pandamatenga.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 266 farming households (including 33 female-headed households) in Pandamatenga area, made up of 245 farming households classified as traditional and 21 farming households classified as large scale. While the number of direct beneficiaries appears to be low compared to the investment, the project will have a major spill over effect on the country’s economy.

Awf-Preparation of Improved Water Control and Management System for Pandamatenga Area. The present project concerns the preparation of Improved Water Control and Management System for Pandamatenga Area. It's initiated because the geometric design and environmental impact assessment (EIA) report produced in 2003 for water control and management systems need to be updated and to include an additional 2,500 ha. The project consists of three main activity components: (i) Water Drainage Systems: Geometric design of water control and drainage system for an area of 2,500 ha  (ii) Water Control and Management Initiatives: This includes training of 20 Government staff and 266 farmers in water control techniques and water management  provision of scientific equipment related to soil testing and cartographical survey and enhancing capacities of the Research and Extension departments of the MOA  (iii) Ecosystem Conservation: Activities here include preparation of EIA for the supplementary 2,500 ha  updating the EIA for the 25,074 ha  as well as implementing associated ESMPs for the full development area of 27,574 ha.

Burundi - Energy Access Project - Phase 1. The Energy Access Project - Phase 1 is an investment project that is part of Burundi's priority investment operations. This project supplements and consolidates the outcomes of ongoing operations in Burundi’s energy sector. Despite Burundi’s relatively huge energy resources (hydropower, solar, wind), its electricity subsector has a low electricity access rate and significant electricity generation deficit due to low investment. The country’s electricity access rate is one of the lowest in the East African region. In 2019, the rate was 11% in Burundi compared to a regional average of 47%. The situation is even worse in rural areas, where the electricity access rate is almost zero (2% in 2019). However, over the past few years, Burundi, with the support of development partners including the Bank, has made considerable investments in electricity generation and transmission, as well as in interconnection networks, through several national and regional projects. This project covers 36 localities in 23 municipalities spread over 11 provinces of the country. It comprises: (i) the construction of 323 km of 30 kV medium voltage overhead line, 235 km of 0.4 kV low voltage network and the installation of 70 MV/LV substations, (ii) the reinforcement of 60 overloaded MV/LV substations and connection of 26,590 subscribers to the power network. The total project cost is estimated at UA 25.303 million, and the project will be implemented over 60 months (2022-2026).  The project aims to improve effective electricity supply by reducing energy losses and undistributed energy following the reinforcement of medium/low voltage substations. The elimination of substation overloads will improve the reliability of the electrical power network, leading to increased availability of electricity. In particular, the project intends to finance the connection of 39,885 households (with 26,590 new subscribers) to the transmission network, which represents a 21% increase compared to the number of REGIDESO subscribers for 2018.  The direct beneficiaries of the project will mainly be households, primary and secondary schools, health centres, government offices, places of worship, and markets. The expected outcomes are: (i) higher electricity access rate, (ii) electrification of 36 new localities, (iii) connection of 39,885 new households to the power network, with 187,803 additional inhabitants, 51% of whom are women, (iv) reduced environmental degradation and contribution to climate change mitigation  and (v) job creation and capacity building for the PIU and, more generally, REGIDESO staff. In 2026, the service rate will be 100% in the project area. Therefore, all the projected households (from all social strata) will have access to electricity, which represents a 100% access rate in the project area.

The objective of the project is to increase the tax and customs revenues of the Republic of Burundi thanks to an improved efficiency of the Burundian Office resulting from a reinforcement of its capacities.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Burundian Revenue Authority.

Burundi - Project to support the East African Nutritional Sciences Institute. The Project to Support the East African Nutritional Sciences Institute (PA-EANSI) based in Bujumbura will benefit the entire region of the East African Community. The project will enhance nutrition security, contribute to the development of human capital and economic growth in Burundi in particular, and in the East African Community region in general, by  improving  access  to  high-level  training  and  quality  research  in  nutritional  sciences.  Its implementation builds on three components: (i) institutional and pedagogical support  (ii) support for infrastructure development  and (iii) project management. The project will be implemented over a  period  of  five  (5)  years  and  will  cost  UA  6.791 million. The main expected outputs are: master's degree training  in  nutritional  sciences for 150 students, doctoral training for  10  students  and  continuing  education  in  nutrition  inthe  health  and  agriculture  sectors. Students  will  be  trained  in  the  following  areas:  (i)  clinical  nutrition   (ii)  nutrition  and  public health  (iii) agri-food technology  (iv) food quality  and (v) food security and climate change.  The PA-EANSI project aims to improve nutrition skills at the strategic level. It will help to strengthen nutrition security through capacity building for food processing and compliance with quality standards, as well as human capital development through capacity building for better management of malnutrition, which has a high economic and social cost in Burundi.  The overall beneficiaries of the project are primarily Burundi's population estimated at about 11 million, of which 50.22% are women and  about  29%  are  children  under  five,  who  are  the  most  vulnerable  groups.  The  direct beneficiaries are Faculty of Agronomy and Bioengineering (FABI) and the teaching staff of the Faculty of the Medicine (70), future EANSI students undergoing  initial or continuing training (395 by the end of the project), which adds up  to  a  total  of  465  direct beneficiaries,  at  least  130  of  whom  will  be  women.  Health  and agricultural professionals  will  be  specifically  targeted  by  the  Master's  and  PhD  training programmes.  By  2047,  the Centre is expected  to contribute  to  the  training  of  at  least  of  1,200  new  Master's  and  150  new  PhD graduates in nutrition, not leaving out the beneficiaries of continuing/skills training. The project will take into account the needs of women, men and young people of all age brackets and social categories, with no exception. The vulnerable segments of the project area population will also be taken into account in terms of access to training through excellence scholarships combined with the candidates’ vulnerability status.

Burundi - The Gitega-Nyangungu-Ngozi Road Development and Asphalting Project-Phase I: Nyangungu-Ngozi Section. The Gitega-Nyangungu-Ngozi earth road, the subject of this project, falls under the programme for improving the road network in Burundi. This classified road, which forms part of Burundi’s primary network, connects the country’s second and third largest cities and constitutes a key link in the development of trade between the north and south. The project will contribute to implementing the Infrastructure Action Plan funded by the Bank and strengthen the execution of the two previous operations that the Institution is financing in the same sector. Investment needs under this project result from the current difficult traffic situation on the road which serves a large population. Given the state of the road, it is necessary to adapt it to meet demand needs in order to guarantee quality service. In view of the financial resources available, the Bank and the Government have agreed to implement the works in phases. The first phase concerns the Nyangungu-Ngozi Section which is the most degraded portion and whose year-round accessibility is not assured. The project comprises: (A) the development and asphalting of the Ngozi-Nyangungu Section (30 km)  (B) associated structures, including the rehabilitation of 80 km of feeder roads, the development of socio-economic and market amenities  and (C) support to project management and monitoring. The implementation of project activities will run from September 2010 to July 2013. The total cost, excluding taxes and customs duty, is estimated at UA 24.255 million.  This project is expected to contribute to the development of trade between the north and south of the country, as well as with neighbouring Rwanda. Specifically, the project aims to facilitate the movement of people and goods along the Gitega-NyangunguNgozi Road and improve the living conditions of the communities within the PIA.  The project beneficiaries will be the road users, rural communities (farmers and stockbreeders) and traders. The results expected by the beneficiaries are an improved movement of people and goods, reduction of the general transportation cost and improved access to basic social services. Tourism constitutes an undeveloped potential that could be harnessed, thanks to the project.

Burundi - Gitega-Nyangungu-Ngozi Road Project Phase II: Gitega-Nyangungu Segment. The present intervention concerns the Gitega-Nyangungu Segment of the Gitega-Nyangungu-Ngozi Road Project Phase II. It comes under the road network improvement programme, on which the productive sectors rely. It is in line with the Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for 2008-2011 and will help to complete the development of the Gitega-Nyangungu-Ngozi road. The road development was divided into two phases because of inadequate resources.

Burundi - Makebuko-Ruyigi Road (RN13) Rehabilitation Project: Phase 1 Makebuko-Butanganzwa Road Section. The proposed project, which concerns the rehabilitation of the Makebuko–Ruyigi Road/Phase 1/Makebuko–Butanganzwa Road Section, falls within the Road Network Improvement Programme in Burundi. It is aligned with the objectives of the Country Strategy Paper (CSP) for the 2012-2016 period, and will help consolidate the Gitega–Cankuzo road link (Burundi/Tanzania border) and provide access to the eastern part of the country. The Makebuko–Ruyigi road section is considered as the black spot of the Gitega–Cankuzo road link. Its rehabilitation will provide access to the interior of the country and stimulate trade between the Eastern regions and the Centre and Northern regions of the country. The project comprises: (i) the rehabilitation and paving of the 22 km-long Makebuko–Butanganzwa road  (ii) the construction of related road facilities  (iii) institutional support  and (iv) capacity building activities for the Project Executing Agency. Its implementation will sustainably link Gitega (the country’s second biggest town) to Cankuzo in the east of the country (Burundi/Tanzania border). The project will be implemented over a three year period (January 2014–December 2016) with a total cost, net of taxes, is estimated at UA 9.93 million.  The project’s sector goal is to contribute to opening up the country’s interior and improving the living conditions of the rural population. The project’s specific objectives are to: (i) contribute to improving the level of service on the Makebuko–Ruyigi road  (ii) improve the rural accessibility index and the living conditions of the population in the project area  and (iii) help to define an organization and and-use framework in four secondary towns. The Bank’s intervention seeks to support the Government’s efforts in implementing its strategy to open up the country, particularly regions with proven economic potential, and complements European Union operations in the region.  The direct project impact area (PIA) covers Itaba and Makebuko municipal councils in Gitega Province and Butaganzwa and Ruyigi municipal councils in Ruyigi Province. The beneficiary population is estimated at two million people, or 21% of the country’s total population. The road will facilitate the sale of agricultural produce and provide easy access to basic infrastructure (schools, health centres, etc.). In addition, the road will benefit the entire country inasmuch as it will facilitate the transportation of goods from Tanzania and food products from the East region, which is one of the main breadbaskets of Burundi, to the other provinces of the country, and particularly to the capital, Bujumbura. Related facilities, such as the rehabilitation of rural roads and support for women’s associations, will increase the project’s socio-economic impacts and contribute to reducing poverty in the area.

Burundi - Nyakararo-Mwaro-Gitega (RN18) Road Improvement and Asphalting Project – Phase 1 - Nyakararo-Mwaro-Kibumbu Section (30 km). The Nyakararo-Mwaro-Gitega Road Improvement and Asphalting Project/Phase 1, Nyakararo-Mwaro-Kibumbu Section, is part of Burundi´s road network improvement programme. This road, which is approximately 30 km long, is a section of National Highway No.18 (RN 18), and part of the economic and strategic link between the capital and the central, northern and eastern parts of the country. The project comprises the following four components: (A) improvement and asphalting works on the Nyakararo-Mwaro-Kibumbu road (30 km), including environmental protection measures  (B) related improvements, comprising 41 km of rural roads, rehabilitation of grassroots socioeconomic infrastructure and support to women´s groups  (C) institutional support in the form of technical assistance to build the capacity of the professionals in the executing agency   and (D) project management and monitoring support. Project activities will be implemented from January 2015 to December 2018. The improvement and asphalting of RN18, scheduled to be implemented in two phases, will open up access to the project area and ease congestion on RN1 (Bujumbura–Kayanza) which carries the heavy traffic on the North Corridor (to/from the Port of Mombasa in Kenya) and the Central Corridor (to/from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania) as well as the national traffic between the centre, north and east provinces. The newly constructed road will, therefore, serve as a principal route to the Central Corridor via RN12: Muyinga –Gitega.  The project sector goal is to help open up access to the country and boost regional trade in order to build the productive capacity of the economy thereby reducing the poverty rate. Its specific objective is to: (i) facilitate the movement of goods and persons along the Nyakararo-Mwaro-Kibumbu road with a view to increasing trade with the rest of the country and with the sub-region  and (ii) increase community access to basic services.  The direct project impact area (PIA) covers all the municipalities of Mwaro Province, with an estimated population of over 270,000 inhabitants, 53% of whom are women. The main beneficiaries of the road are farmers who experience difficulties in procuring inputs and in marketing their produce due to the poor state of the roads. The project will have a positive impact, especially on women and young people because it will improve their access to socio-economic infrastructure and create new intitiatives. The other beneficiaries are industrialists, loggers and transporters whose operating and logistical costs will be significantly reduced thanks to the improvement and asphalting of the main road and rehabilitation of the rural roads.

Burundi - Bujumbura water supply Phase II. Réalisation des équipements ayant permis de couvrir les besoins de la ville à l'horizon 1990.

Burundi - The Rural Water Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Extension Project. Après une transition politique qui vient de s’achever en août 2005, le Burundi entame une
nouvelle phase de son développement qui nécessite de relever plusieurs défis dont celui non
négligeable de la reconstruction. En effet, les infrastructures du pays, dont celles de l’eau potable et
de l’assainissement, se sont fortement dégradées pendant la longue période de conflit. C’est ainsi
que le taux d’accès de la population à l’eau potable est passé de 70% en 1993 à 45% en 2005.
Conformément au cadre stratégique intérimaire de croissance économique et de lutte contre la
pauvreté de mars 2002 actualisée en novembre 2003 et au programme d’urgence du Gouvernement
présenté à Bruxelles en janvier 2004, la mission d’identification de la Banque de juin 2004 avait
retenu en association avec les autorités burundaises le projet de réhabilitation des infrastructures
hydrauliques en milieu rural comme prioritaire pour soulager des populations rurales des corvées
d’approvisionnement en eau potable. Une requête du Gouvernement en date de décembre 2004 a
confirmé la priorité accordée par le Gouvernement à ce projet. La Banque a préparé le projet en
juin 2005 et a envoyé une mission d’évaluation du projet au Burundi en août et septembre 2005. Le don FAD d’un montant de 12 millions d’UC servira à financer 89,96% du coût total du
projet, soit l’intégralité des coûts en devises et 79,44% des coûts en monnaie locale.  L’Objectif sectoriel du projet est de contribuer à l’amélioration des conditions de vie des
populations en milieu rural par l’accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement. Ses objectifs
spécifiques sont : (i) de contribuer de façon durable à l’amélioration de l’accès aux services
d’alimentation en eau potable et d’assainissement dans 34 communes de Bururi, de Gitega, de
Kayanza et Muramvya et dans deux (02) quartiers périphériques de Bujumbura   et (ii) de renforcer
les capacités nationales de gestion et de suivi du secteur de l’eau potable et de l’assainissement en
milieu rural, aussi bien au niveau central, qu’au niveau de 34 Régies Communales de l’Eau dans les
provinces de Bururi, Gitega, Muramvya et Kayanza.  Les groupes ciblés par le projet comprennent notamment les catégories de personnes
suivantes : (i) les femmes et les enfants qui seront soulagés de la corvée d’eau   (ii) les élèves et
écoliers qui bénéficieront d’eau potable et de latrines dans leurs écoles   (iii) les chômeurs n’ayant
pas de qualification et dont certains seront employés dans les divers chantiers du projet   (iv) les
jeunes qui pourront bénéficier d’une formation professionnelle (artisans réparateurs et maçons)
utile pour le marché du travail   (v) l’ensemble de la population de la zone du projet qui aura une
disponibilité accrue d’eau potable. D’autres bénéficiaires du projet sont les RCE et la REGIDESO
qui pourront faire faire face à une demande croissante d’eau potable à travers le renforcement de
leurs capacités de production et de gestion du secteur   les institutions chargées de la gestion du
secteur (DGHER, DGEE, DPSHA, etc.) par le renforcement de leurs capacités d’organisation et de
planification   l’Etat burundais, qui pourra fournir à sa population un accès adéquat à l’eau potable
tout en réduisant les dépenses engendrées par les maladies hydriques   l’environnement, suite à la
réduction de la pollution des ressources hydriques. Le projet contribuera aussi au développement du
secteur privé national à travers des contrats de fourniture de biens, travaux et services pour la
réalisation des différentes composantes du projet ainsi que par l’utilisation des artisans pour les
travaux de construction et d’entretien des petites infrastructures hydrauliques et sanitaires. La zone du projet, avec une superficie d’environ 917 km2
, couvre les provinces du Bururi, de
Gitega, de Kayanza et de Muramvya, ainsi que la zone périphérique de Bujumbura (voir annexe 1).
Elle s’étend sur plusieurs zones géomorphologiques avec un dessin topographique qui s'accompagne
de la variation du climat sur différentes altitudes, ce qui lui confère une diversité géoclimatique
importante. En effet, les altitudes supérieures à 2000 m, matérialisées par la crête Congo-Nil, sont
plus arrosées avec des précipitations moyennes comprises entre 1400 mm et 1600 mm et des
températures moyennes annuelles oscillant autour de 15°C avec des minima atteignant parfois 0°C.
Les altitudes moyennes oscillent entre 1500 m et 2000 m, reçoivent environ 1200 mm de
précipitations annuelles pour de températures moyennes annuelles se situant entre 18°C à 20°C. Les
altitudes inférieures à 1 400 m représentées dans les dépressions ont des précipitations moyennes
annuelles inférieures à 1 200 mm avec des températures moyennes annuelles supérieures à 20°C.

Burundi - Formulation of Integrated Water Resources Management Plan. Le présent projet a été conçu en raison de la nécessité, pour le Gouvernement du Burundi, de développer un cadre global comprenant un plan de gestion intégrée des ressources en eau (GIRE) pour la gestion rationnelle et le développement de ses ressources en eau. La mise en œuvre du plan GIRE devrait contribuer à la réduction de la pauvreté et au développement socioéconomique du pays grâce à une meilleure gouvernance de l'eau. La politique de l'eau existante, les instruments législatifs et réglementaires pour la gestion des ressources en eau du Burundi n'ont jamais été mis en œuvre en raison du manque d'engagement des organes et institutions du secteur de l'eau. Le projet de plan GIRE proposé devrait mettre à jour les instruments existants et s'appuier sur les plans et stratégies de développement en cours à travers un processus inclusif. L'impact global à long terme du projet attendu est l'atteinte d'un régime de gestion durable des ressources en eau contribuant à l'équité sociale, à l'efficacité économique et à la durabilité environnementale dans le pays.  Le projet comprend les quatre composantes suivantes: (i) l'appui à la formulation du plan national de gestion intégrée des ressources en eau  (ii) l'appui à la réforme institutionnelle, au renforcement des capacités et au développement de partenariats existants, nouveaux et émergents  (iii) la préparation des stratégies de développement, des plans en vue de leur intégration dans la politique économique, les plans de développement nationaux, y compris les programmes de stratégie de réduction de la pauvreté  et (iv) le développement d'un mécanisme de financement pour financer la mise en œuvre du Plan GIRE en élargissant la gamme d'instruments disponibles.  Le but du projet est de réduire la pauvreté, améliorer le bien-être de la population et conserver les ressources naturelles vitales à travers l'amélioration gouvernance de l'eau. L'objectif du projet est de faciliter la gestion intégrée des ressources en eau (GIRE) à travers des réformes et la mise en œuvre des cadres de la GIRE, les stratégies de développement de l'eau intégré dans les plans nationaux, et des partenariats renforcés.  Les bénéficiaires du projet sont le gouvernement et le peuple du Burundi, les donateurs, le gouvernement local, et les ONG.

Burundi - Technical Assistance Project for the Development of a Master Plan for the Production, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy. The proposed project is a technical assistance to the Government of the Republic of Burundi for the preparation of a master plan for the production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. This master plan aims to contribute to: (i) the reduction of inequalities in access to electricity between different regions on the one hand and between urban and rural populations on the other hand with a view to strengthening social cohesion  (ii) the promotion of economic diversification and thus the reduction of the vulnerability of the Burundian economy to exogenous shocks  (iii) the creation of employment, especially for young people  (iv) the promotion of the private sector by offering electricity at a cost that guarantees its competitiveness  (v) the substitution of electrical energy for firewood as an energy source in order to contribute to the reduction of deforestation. The technical assistance will also focus on the transfer of skills to the executives of the Ministry in charge of energy through training in the following areas: (i) taking into account the aspects of fragility in the preparation and implementation of a strategic and operational framework in the energy sector  (ii) design, monitoring and evaluation of investment projects in the energy sector  (iii) implementation and monitoring-evaluation of the master plan for the production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. The project provides for consultancy services only.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the creation of conditions for efficient management of the energy sector, by providing Burundi with an investment planning tool that contributes to the reduction of the country's fragility. The project includes the following components: (i) Elaboration of a master plan model for the production, transport and distribution of electrical energy that contributes to the resilience of the country's fragility  (ii) Transfer of skills to the executives of the Ministry in charge of energy.  The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM), REGIDESO and ABER (Agence Burundaise d'Electrification Rurale) and the Burundian population are the main beneficiaries.

Burundi - The Electricity Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Extension Project. Le don FAD, d’un montant de 7,32 millions d’UC, sera accordé à la République de Burundi et
rétrocédé à la Régideso qui en sera le principal bénéficiaire, aux conditions et modalités acceptables
par le FAD. Il permettra de couvrir 79,37% du coût du projet et assurera le financement partiel des
coûts en devises et en monnaie locale des services des consultants ainsi que l’acquisition du matériel
d’administration et de gestion du projet. Le reste du financement sera assuré par la Régideso pour
5,37%, le gouvernement pour 10,63% et les abonnés pour 4,63%.  Le projet a pour objectif sectoriel de contribuer à l'amélioration des conditions de vie des
populations et du cadre de développement économique et social du pays, par la fourniture de
l'électricité en quantité suffisante et à des prix compétitifs, en vue d’augmenter de la proportion de
la population ayant accès à l’électricité et d’assurer les conditions minimales d’atteinte des Objectifs
du Millénaire pour le Développement (OMD). Le projet a pour objectif spécifique d’assurer la
fiabilité de l'approvisionnement et la distribution efficiente de l’énergie fournie, par l’amélioration
de la disponibilité et de la fiabilité des infrastructures électriques, la réduction des coûts de
production ainsi que la réduction des pertes techniques et commerciales du secteur.  La Régideso et tout le tissu économique et social du pays sont les principaux
bénéficiaires du projet. La population du Burundi est estimée 7,4 millions d’habitants dont
environ 52% de femmes et près 46% de jeunes de moins de 15 ans   elle est à 93% rurale et
disséminée. Avec 265 hbts/km² contre une moyenne de 18 hbts/km² en Afrique Centrale, la
densité de la population du Burundi est la plus élevée d’Afrique, son taux de croissance
annuel de 2,4%. La croissance de la population est plus marquée à Bujumbura (6%) et à
Gitega (4%). Malgré la pression démographique, la migration vers les villes reste limitée.

Burundi - Jiji and Mulembwe Hydropower Project (PHJIMU). The Jiji and Mulembwe Hydropower Plants Development Project aims to improve Burundi’s electric power generation. With the combined installed capacity of the two plants, estimated at 48 MW, the national installed power generation capacity (which is now 39 MW) will more than double. The project concerns the development of two hydropower plants and the construction of infrastructure required for electric power transmission and distribution. These two development initiatives are located in the south-east
of the country in Bururi Province. The two hydropower plants are about 3.75 km apart and are currently the most promising energy projects in this part of the country.  The project will have a positive impact on the sustainability of the energy sector in particular, and Burundi’s economy in general. It will also enable the supply of electricity to local communities in the project area. As such, it will contribute to reducing the country’s energy shortfall and promoting green and inclusive growth. The project is structured into 3 (three) components: Component A comprises the Hydropower Plants and Related Infrastructure, Component B focuses on project technical assistance and Component C deals with electricity sector institutional development support.  The objective of the project is to increase electricity generation, which will enable Burundi to promote the private sector, job creation and, consequently, economic diversification. These investments will certainly contribute to reducing the Burundian economy’s vulnerability to exogenous shocks and dependence on foreign aid, thereby helping to reduce the country’s fragility.  The project will benefit the entire Burundian population as interconnection will enable it to take advantage of increased national electricity supply made possible by the project.

Ce projet a été approuvé le 12 Juin 1990.

ETUDE DANS LE SECTEUR DE LA SANTE. Les études ont pour objectif de préparer le projet de l'Institut Para-médical de Bujumbura et la première tranche du Laboratoire National de Santé Publique. Elles se dérouleront en 2 phases. La première incluera les études de faisabilité et de programmation, la deuxième permettra l'exécution des études techniques et la préparation des dossiers d'appel d'offres.

PROJET MULTISECTORIEL DE RÉINSERTION. La crise socio-politique que connaît le Burundi depuis 1993 a entraîné des milliers de morts
et la destruction de structures socio-économiques qui se s’est traduite par une aggravation de la
prévalence de la pauvreté dont le niveau a plus que doublé passant de 33% en 1990 à 68% en 2002.
Depuis la signature en août 2000 des accords de paix d’Arusha entre le Gouvernement et les
principaux mouvements rebelles et la signature en novembre 2003 d’un cessez-le feu avec le
CNDD-FDD, l’état sécuritaire dans le pays s’est sensiblement amélioré et a permis le retour
progressif de près de 140 000 personnes déplacées. Sur les deux prochaines années, il est prévu
qu’environ 250 000 déplacés et/ou réfugiés retournent annuellement dans leur région d’origine,
créant d’énormes besoins en matière d’alimentation, d’emploi et d’accès aux infrastructures de
base. Dans le cadre défini par l’Accord d’Arusha et le DSRP-I (DSRP intérimaire 2003-2005),
divers bailleurs de fonds ont financé plusieurs projets et programme de reconstruction et de
développement utilisant l’approche « fonds sociaux » dont les résultas sont satisfaisants. Ce projet
financé par le FAD s’inscrit dans cette dynamique. Le projet couvre la municipalité de Bujumbura
et les communes rurales dans les provinces de Bujumbura-rural, Kayanza, Gitega, Rutana et Bururi
longtemps affectées par la guerre.  Le projet qui vise appuyer les efforts du Burundi et de la communauté internationale dans la
reconstruction du pays comporte quatre composantes. La première composante permettra d’assurer
la création d’emplois grâce à la réalisation de travaux à forte intensité de main-d’oeuvre tels que le
pavage des rues et la construction de caniveaux destinés à l’évacuation des eaux de pluie dans 4
quartiers défavorisés de Bujumbura, et la réhabilitation d’écoles primaires et de centres de santé
dotés de structure de dépistage et de prise en charge des malades du VIH/SIDA. La seconde
composante permettra de renforcer les capacités de planification et de gestion du ministère en
charge de la formation aux métiers. Elle permettra également de renforcer la qualité de quelques
centres de formation grâce à la réhabilitation des établissements, la fourniture d’équipements
pédagogiques, l’élaboration des référentiels de formation et le recyclage des enseignants. La
troisième composante appuiera diverses initiatives des communautés en matière d’activités
génératrices de revenus et de lutte contre le VIH/SIDA. Enfin la quatrième composante porte sur
l’appui à l’exécution du projet. L’objectif sectoriel du projet est de contribuer à l’insertion socioéconomique des groupes
défavorisés. De manière spécifique, le projet vise : (i) la création d’emplois en privilégiant les travaux
à haute intensité de main-d’œuvre pour la réalisation des infrastructures, et (ii) l’amélioration de
l’accès aux infrastructures sociales (santé, éducation et cadre de vie).  La population des provinces retenues par le programme est estimée à environ
2 500 000 habitants, soit près de 42,5% de la population totale du pays. En outre, avec
plus de 280 000 habitants dans les quartiers de Bwiza, Buyenzi et Jabé, ce sont 70% de la
population de Bujumbura-mairie qui sont couvertes par le projet. D’une manière
générale, les populations bénéficiaires du projet, fortement affectées par la crise
sociopolitique qui dure depuis 1993, ont la caractéristique principale d’être pauvres et
d’avoir à soutenir leurs familles souvent élargies par les décès provoqués par différents
facteurs comme la guerre, le VIH/SIDA, etc. Les groupes ciblés par le projet comprennent notamment les catégories de
personnes suivantes : (i) les chômeurs (soldats démobilisés, jeunes et autres personnes
sans emploi) n’ayant pas de qualification qui seront employés sur les divers chantiers  
(ii) les jeunes et les adolescents qui pourront bénéficier d’une formation professionnelle
utile pour le marché du travail   (iii) les femmes actives qui désirent améliorer leurs 

activités génératrices de revenus   (iv) les micro-entrepreneurs et groupements
féminins nécessitant un appui et/ou un transfert de savoir-faire pour entreprendre et
mieux gérer leurs activités génératrices de revenus   et (v) les ASBL impliquées dans la
lutte contre le VIH/SIDA dont les capacités techniques et de gestion seront renforcées
afin de leur faciliter l’accès à différentes sources de financement de leurs activités.

Burundi - The Job Creation Programme Support Project. The project to support the job creation program is the Bank's third operation in Burundi focused on the fight against poverty through job creation actions and strengthening of the productive base according to the labor intensive method. It is part of a program supported by three donors, including the ADF, the World Bank (WB) and the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC). The project covers three provinces of the north central region of the country: Ngozi, Kayanza, Gitega. It aims at (i) medium-term: increased incomes, improved access to urban services, improved access to basic school infrastructure, establishment of a business support mechanism, and the protection of natural resources in the project area, ii) in the long term: improving the living conditions of the people. The project has two components: i) creating job opportunities and ii) managing the project. The duration of execution is 3 years. The total cost of the program is UA 51.01 million. The ADF amount is estimated at UA 10 million, or 20% of the total cost.  The project is part of a national job creation program supported by three donors whose goal is to improve the living conditions of the people of Burundi. Its goal is to increase job creation opportunities in the provinces of Ngozi, Gitega and Kayanza.  The target populations are the urban and peri-urban populations of Ngozi (30,000 inhabitants), the rural populations of the three provinces (1,932,486 inhabitants), community associations (200), agents and staff of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and design offices (BE) of building and public works (BTP).

STRUCTUREL I SUPPLEMENTAIRE. i)atteindre une croissance soutenue du PIB par habitant ii)améliorer la situation de la balance des paiements conformément à l'objectif de réduction du ratio du service de la dette de 46% en 1989 à 32% en 1992 et d'accroissement des réserves officielles brutes à un niveau équivalent à quatre mois d'importation et,iii) de réduire le déficit budgétaire à 5% du PIB en 1993.

Burundi - The Second Phase of the Economic Reform Support Program (ERSP-II). Le Programme d’appui aux réformes économiques 2008-2009 (PARE II) est fondé sur les orientations du Cadre Stratégique de lutte contre la pauvreté 2006-2009 adopté par le gouvernement en 2005. Ce deuxième programme PARE vise à consolider les résultats de la première phase , et cherche à créer les conditions d'une croissance durable et équitable afin de renforcer la cohésion sociale principalement par l'amélioration de la gestion des finances publiques. Le PARE I était axé sur la consolidation du cadre macroéconomique et l’amélioration de l’environnement des affaires tandis que le PARE II se focalise sur deux domaines spécifiques : l’amélioration de la gestion des ressources publiques et le renforcement du contrôle interne et externe de la gestion des finances publiques. Les résultats attendus de la mise en œuvre de ce programme portent plus particulièrement sur : (i) le maintien de la stabilité de l’environnement macro-économique   (ii) une meilleure adéquation entre les stratégies et priorités sectorielles et la programmation budgétaire   (iii) une gestion des ressources publiques plus efficace et plus efficiente, et (iv) la création d’un environnement propice au développement du secteur privé à travers une plus grande stabilité macro-économique, l’amélioration des institutions, un approfondissement des réformes dans la gestion des ressources publiques et une réforme du système de passation des marchés publics.  L’objectif global du programme était d’appuyer le programme d’actions prioritaires 2007-2011 du Gouvernement pour la mise en œuvre du Cadre Stratégique de Lutte contre la Pauvreté à travers une gestion plus efficace et plus efficiente des finances publiques. Les objectifs spécifiques étaient de : i) renforcer la gestion des ressources publiques   et ii) renforcer le système de contrôle externe et interne des finances de l’Etat.  Les principaux bénéficiaires du PARE II sont l'ensemble de la population du Burundi, les producteurs agricoles, le secteur privé, les entités territoriales et le secteur Ministères.

Burundi - Third Economic Reform Support Programme (ERSP III). Le Programme d’Appui aux Réformes Economiques phase III (PARE III) s’appuie sur le CSLP 2006-2010 et s’inscrit
dans deux des 4 axes stratégiques du programme national, à savoir : 1) l’amélioration de la gouvernance et de la sécurité
et 2) la promotion d’une croissance économique durable et équitable. Le PARE III est la continuation logique des actions
entreprises dans le PARE II dont il reprend les deux domaines prioritaires : i) l’amélioration de la gestion des ressources
publiques et ii) le renforcement du contrôle interne et externe des finances publiques. Les résultats attendus de la mise en
œuvre du programme était les suivants : i) le renforcement de la stabilité macroéconomique   ii) un meilleur accès des
populations aux services de base à travers une augmentation de la part des dépenses pro-pauvres dans le budget de l’Etat
et iii) un système de gestion des finances publiques plus efficace et efficient. Le PARE III s’est exécuté de manière
satisfaisante, en dépit du fait que l’année 2010 était une année électorale, ce qui aurait pu compromettre la stabilité
politique et la mise en œuvre des réformes. La mise en œuvre du PARE III a bénéficié des synergies existantes avec
l’appui institutionnel de la Banque délivré à travers le Projet d’Appui aux Structures de Gouvernance R notamment en ce
qui concerne le renforcement du système des marchés publics et l’appui aux structures de contrôle interne et externe R et
l’appui de la FEF, ainsi que celui des autres bailleurs, notamment la Banque mondiale (projet PAGE).  L'objectif du programme était d’appuyer la mise en œuvre du CSLP et l’atteinte de ses objectifs à travers la mise en œuvre
de la stratégie de gestion des finances publiques (GFP) pour une gestion plus efficace et efficiente des finances publiques.
Les résultats globaux attendus au terme de la mise en œuvre du programme étaient une contribution à : (i) une meilleure
croissance, une maitrise de l’inflation et une réduction de la pauvreté   (ii) une allocation des ressources plus conforme aux
priorités du CSLP et une part plus importante du budget allouée au dépenses pro-pauvres  et (iii) une meilleure
gouvernance des finances publiques.  La population Burundaise  le Ministère des Finances et l'administration Burundaise

Burundi - Fourth Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE IV). Le Burundi a connu une longue période de guerre civile qui a détruit une
grande partie de l’appareil productif. Depuis 2004, le processus de
consolidation de la paix progresse et l’année 2010 a vu l’organisation de
plusieurs élections (municipales, présidentielles et législatives) jugée
relativement satisfaisante par les observateurs internationaux. La croissance
économique du pays reste modeste (3,9% en 2010) en particulier au regard
de la forte croissance démographique.
Cependant, le pays est engagé dans un vaste processus de réformes visant à
moderniser son économie et son administration, afin d’être plus performant
et plus compétitif. Le pays est, de plus, engagé dans un processus
d’intégration régionale au sein de la Communauté Est-Africaine.  L’objectif global du programme est d’appuyer le pays dans la mise en place
des conditions nécessaires à l’atteinte des objectifs de la vision Burundi
2025, visant une croissance économique à deux chiffres et une réduction de
moitié de la pauvreté. Les objectifs spécifiques du programme sont : i)
l’amélioration de la transparence et de l’efficacité du budget et ii) le
renforcement des systèmes de contrôle interne, externe et des marchés
publics. Les résultats attendus du programme sur la période d’exécution
sont : i) une amélioration de la gestion économique du pays   et ii) une
amélioration de la gestion du secteur public et des institutions.  Le bénéficiaire final du programme est la population burundaise dans son
ensemble et, plus particulièrement, les couches les plus pauvres,
l’amélioration de la qualité des dépenses publiques permettant d’accroître
l’offre des services sociaux de base ainsi que d’en faciliter l’accès. Les
autres bénéficiaires sont les administrations publiques (Ministère des
Finances et Structures partenaires) pour lesquelles la mise en œuvre des
réformes renforcera les capacités techniques et opérationnelles.

Burundi - Fifth Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE V). Le Burundi connaît depuis quelques années une période de relative stabilité
politique et organise régulièrement des élections mais la situation reste
toutefois fragile. Des progrès ont été réalisés mais le pays reste fragile d’un
point de vue économique, social et institutionnel. Concernant la croissance
économique du pays (4,2 % en 2011), elle demeure insuffisante eu égard
les défis du pays. C’est dans ce contexte que le Burundi met en œuvre le
Cadre Stratégique de Lutte Contre la Pauvreté II (CSLP-II) et s’est engagé
dans un processus de réformes visant la modernisation de son
administration et de son secteur privé. La mise en œuvre de ces réformes
contribuera à stimuler la croissance économique, à promouvoir le
développement social et à renforcer les capacités institutionnelles ce qui, à
terme, pourra emmener le pays à sortir de sa situation de fragilité.  L’objectif global du programme est de créer les conditions d’une
croissance rapide et inclusive. Les objectifs spécifiques sont : (i)
l’amélioration de l’efficacité de l’Etat dans la gestion de ses ressources
publiques et (ii) la promotion du développement du secteur privé et de la
création d’emplois.  Le bénéficiaire final du programme est la population burundaise dans son
ensemble et plus particulièrement les couches les plus pauvres.
L’amélioration de la qualité des dépenses publiques permet, en effet,
d’accroître l’offre des services sociaux de base ainsi que d’en faciliter
l’accès. Par ailleurs, les administrations publiques bénéficieront aussi du

Burundi - Public Financial Management Capacity Building Project (PFMCP). This intervention relates to the Public Financial Management Capacity Building Project (PFMCP). Over the past few years, Burundi has made significant progress in public finance management reforms with the support of various development partners. However, despite the improvement in performance, the project remains relevant insofar as shortcomings are still being observed, which means that there is a need to continue capacity-building actions for the structures involved in the public finance management sector. The project is structured around two main components plus project management: (i) support for improving the budget cycle and (ii) support for improving control systems.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to poverty reduction by creating conditions conducive to strong and sustained economic growth through (i) improving the budget cycle, (ii) improving the mobilisation of internal resources, (iii) transparency in public procurement and (iv) strengthening internal and external control.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Burundian population, the Burundian administration and the Ministry of Finance.

Burundi - Private Sector Development Support Project (PADSP). The Private Sector Development Support Project aims to help the country strengthen the institutional capacities of private companies. It is part of the Burundian Administration Capacity Building Programme, which includes four other projects. It is being implemented in three areas. The first focuses on capacity building to support the development of trade and industry, and is broken down into three key interventions: (i) setting up a methodological tool for analysing and monitoring trade policies  (ii) carrying out an analytical study on trade and industry  and (iii) providing technical assistance for industrial development. The second area focuses on capacity building for the development of public-private dialogue and partnership, broken down into two sub-components, namely: (i) capacity building for public-private sector dialogue  and (ii) capacity building for the promotion of public-private partnerships. The third concerns the management and coordination of the project, including the running costs of the project and the recruitment of an administrative and financial assistant, a monitoring and evaluation specialist and an external auditing firm.  The general aim of the project is to provide the public bodies responsible for supporting the promotion of the private sector with the capacity to support and assist private companies effectively, thereby making a significant contribution to the development of trade, industry and partnerships between the public and private sectors.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Burundian population and the Burundian administration.

Burundi - Economic Reform Support Programme I (ERSP I). The present program concerning the Government Economic Reforms (2006-2008) is supported by the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF). It aims to ensure macroeconomic adjustment and stabilization with the implementation of structural reforms aimed at reducing poverty. This program focuses on (i) Public Finance and Monetary and Exchange Policy  (ii) structural reforms, in particular the reform of the coffee sector  (iii) the privatization program  and (iv) transparency and good governance. African Development Fund's intervention on this program should focus on two areas: (i) strengthening the management of public finance and (ii) support for private sector development. The choice of these two areas is justified by their compliance with the priorities of the Strategic Framework for Growth and Poverty Reduction (PRSP-complete), which was approved by the Government in August 2006, and by their expected impact on the economic recovery that conditions the successful implementation of the poverty reduction strategy.  The objective of the program is to help establish the conditions for sustainable and equitable growth through, in particular, the strengthening of the management of public finances, the improvement of the legal and regulatory framework of business in order to promoting the sector to create a growth engine and a provider of jobs for an increasingly growing working population.  The main beneficiary of the program is the Burundian Administration.

Burundi - Economic and Governance Reform Support Programme - Phase I. The proposed operation is a UA 7 million grant from the Pillar I window of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) to the Republic of Burundi to finance the first phase of the Economic and Governance Reform Support Programme (PARGE-I). PARGE-I is the first phase in a series of two operations making up a programme-based budget support, covering the financial years 2014 and 2015, with an overall indicative funding amount of UA 11.08 million. The programme is a continuation of previous budget support operations (PARE I to V) started since 2004 whose results have contributed not only to a better implementation of the PRSP-I and II, but also specifically to strengthening the national system of public finance management and private sector development. PARGE plans to consolidate the achievements of previous operations by contributing to the creation of conditions for better fiscal management and promotion of private sector development. Therefore, PARGE-I aims to support the Government (GoB) in implementing PRSP-II from 2012 to 2015, through its operational objectives which include: (i) improving the mobilization, predictability of public resources and budget control and execution  and (ii) lending support to the promotion of entrepreneurship and access to finance for the private sector.  The programme's overall objective is to contribute to a robust and sustained economic growth through the strengthening of economic and financial governance, and the enhancement of private sector development. The PARGE-I is the first phase of a series of two programme-based budget support operations. It aims primarily to consolidate the achievements of previous operations and contribute to economic growth by strengthening economic governance and promoting private sector development. The first component, which focuses on strengthening fiscal management, will: (i) improve the mobilization and predictability of public resources  and (ii) improve budget preparation, control and execution. As for the second component, it will promote the private sector development by enhancing the latter's role as a driver of growth.  The ultimate project beneficiary is the Burundian people, especially poor and vulnerable groups. Strengthening public finance management ensures an increase in the provision of basic social services as well as easing access to these services. Support for private sector development will ensure the emergence of a group of dynamic entrepreneurs helping to build the foundation for sustained growth. Other beneficiaries are the Government (Ministry of Finance, API, Partner Structures), the Burundi Federal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CFCIB) and the Burundi Women Entrepreneur Association for which reforms will help to strengthen their technical and operational capacity to deliver quality public services.

PROJET DE RENFORCEMENT DES CAPACITES INSTITUTIONNELLES (PRCI). Le Burundi a élaboré un programme triennal (2004-2006) soutenu par une facilité pour
la réduction de la pauvreté et pour la croissance (FRPC) qui a été approuvée par le Conseil du
FMI en janvier 2004. Le Gouvernement a également finalisé en mars 2002, le DSRP-I qui
constitue le cadre de référence du programme d’urgence du Gouvernement. qui couvre les

objectifs du programme d’urgence passe nécessairement par la reconstruction et la
modernisation de l’administration qui a été durement éprouvée par la crise socio-politique qui
persiste depuis octobre 1993. C’est ainsi qu’il s’est engagé à mettre en œuvre un programme
de renforcement des capacités qui porte sur des actions coordonnées de formation et
d’acquisition d’équipements en faveur des institutions chargées de la gestion économique et
de la société civile. C’est dans ce contexte que le Gouvernement a adressé une requête, en
avril 2003, à la Banque pour solliciter son appui au financement de ce programme.  L’objectif sectoriel du projet est de contribuer à renforcer les capacités de formulation,
d’exécution et de suivi des politiques économiques. Plus spécifiquement, le projet vise à
développer et consolider les compétences en matière de planification macro-économique, de
programmation des investissements publics et de renforcement du système statistique en
mettant l’accent sur la valorisation des ressources humaines, l’amélioration des procédures et
la modernisation des outils de travail.  Les structure bénéficiaires sont : la Direction de la planification, la Direction de la
trésorerie, l’Institut des statistiques et des études économiques du Burundi, la Direction de la
programmation, les cellules de planification du Ministère de l’agriculture et de l’élevage et du
Ministère des travaux publics et de l’équipement, la Direction de l’emploi et le Centre de

Burundi - Statistical Capacity Building Project for Poverty Monitoring and Evaluation. The Statistical Capacity Building Project for Poverty Monitoring and Evaluation is part of a programme supported by the African Development Bank Group to build the capacity of the Burundian administration, which includes four other projects. The programme, worth €6.61 million, aims to provide technical assistance to the Burundian administration and help strengthen its institutional capacities. The project covered by this grant involves providing international technical assistance to the national team for in-depth analyses of data on poverty and the labour market in Burundi. In other words, this support includes a contract with an international consultancy firm responsible for providing this assistance. The project came at a time when the Government had just put in place a national strategy for the development of statistics, with the aim of establishing a national statistical system that: (i) is operational, producing statistics in all areas of life  (ii) has adequate human and technical capacity  (iii) complies with current international and regional standards and methods  and (iv) produces reliable, comparable and harmonised data in a coordinated manner. It has two components: (i) improving the poverty monitoring and evaluation system and (ii) supporting training.  The main objective of the project is to provide Burundi with a framework for the sustainable production of reliable and up-to-date statistical information, which is necessary for the formulation, monitoring and evaluation of development programmes, in particular the PRSP and the Millennium Development Declaration.  The project aims to benefit Burundi's population as a whole (51% of whom are women) by providing better information on poverty and ensuring that the Strategic Framework for Growth and the Fight against Poverty (CSLP) is properly monitored.

Burundi - Support Project for Institutional Capacity Building in the Area of Socio-Economic Data Collection of the Workforce and Social Protection (PRCDSE). The Support Project for Institutional Capacity Building in the Area of Socio-Economic Data Collection of the Workforce and Social Protection (PRCDSE) was initiated with the support of Pillar III of the African Development Bank Group's Fragile States Facility (FSF). This project complements the statistical capacity-building project for poverty monitoring and evaluation, and is also part of the Burundian Administration Capacity-Building Programme. It comprises the following components: (i) support for the labour force survey, which includes data collection from businesses in the formal private sector, formal public sector structures, education and training structures, health structures and the diaspora, as well as supplies and small survey equipment  (ii) support for the social protection survey, which is summarised as the collection of data on social protection, and supplies and small survey materials  and (iii) project management, i.e. operating expenses and the recruitment of an external auditing firm to audit the project's accounts.  The general objective of the project is to support the government's efforts to set up a database on labour and social protection. The aim of the project is to help Burundi set up two databases: (i) data on the workforce and social protection in Burundi, and (ii) data on prices, unemployment and employment.  The project aims to benefit Burundi's population as a whole (51% of whom are women) by providing better information on poverty and ensuring that the Strategic Framework for Growth and the Fight against Poverty (CSLP) is properly monitored.

Burundi - Support to Agriculture Transformation in the Bugesera Natural Region Project (PATAREB). The Project for Support to Agricultural Transformation in the Natural Region of Bugesera (PATAREB) was initiated because of the effects of large variations in the rainfall pattern that affect this area. PATAREB is part of the implementation of the Government's overall development policy as defined in the document "Vision Burundi 2025" and in the 2nd Generation Growth and Poverty Strategy Framework (CLSP II). The project targets fragile and economically, socially and environmentally disadvantaged communities, but with significant agricultural and fish farming potential whose sustainable development will contribute to improving food and nutritional security, increase the income of vulnerable small producers, alleviate the impact of poverty on rural households and strengthen the resilience of populations, including women and youth. Thus, it covers the natural region of Bugesera including seven (07) Municipalities of the Province of Kirundo and a Giteranyi Commune of Muyinga Province. With a total cost of UA 12.00 million (BIF 29.28 billion), the project will be implemented over a five-year period through three (03) components: (i) Support for Infrastructure Development Agricultural  (ii) Promotion of Agricultural Transformation and Improvement of the Living Conditions of Populations  and (iii) Management and Coordination.  The overall objective of PATAREB is to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the populations through agricultural development and transformation. The specific objective of the project is to boost the inclusive agricultural development of the Bugesera Natural Region through the construction of production infrastructure, the promotion of agricultural value chains and the support of safety nets.  The project will directly benefit a population of 900,000 people (51% women) composed mainly of agri-pastoralists. These will be supported through actions aimed at developing rice, maize and sorghum value chains and supporting the development of the blue economy. The development of these value chains will also benefit private sector companies engaged in the processing of agricultural products. In addition, special attention will be paid to vulnerable populations as well as to young people. Vulnerable populations will benefit particularly from the cash-for-work approach developed through watershed management, transfer of agricultural inputs and support for the development of income-generating activities. The project will also prioritize young people through activities related to entrepreneurship promotion to enable self-employment.

Burundi - Nyakararo-Mwaro-Gitega Road (RN18) Upgrade and Asphalting Project/Phase II – Kibumbu-Gitega (Mweya) - (24 km). The upgrade and asphalting project on National Highway No. 18 (RN 18: Nyakararo-Mwaro-Gitega), Phase II, Kibumbu-Gitega segment (Mweya), which is approximately 24 km long, is part of Burundi's road network improvement plan. It was designed in response to the need to improve the road network. RN 18 is one of the economic and strategic routes linking the capital city of Bujumbura to the central, northern and eastern parts of the country. This project is a factor that can contribute to the restoration of social cohesion through the intensification of trade exchanges between different communities and the resulting economic opportunities: promotion of the private sector and employment, especially for young people. More specifically, it should contribute to improving the employability of young people, in particular through the promotion of internships for young engineers, within the companies in charge of the works and the control and monitoring firm. The project has four components: (A) upgrade and asphalting works on the GitegaKibumbu segment (Mweya), including environmental protection measures  (B) ancillary works comprising rehabilitation of 15 km of rural roads and basic socio-economic infrastructure  (C) support to higher education institutions  and (D) project management and monitoring.  The sector goal of the project is to open up access to and within the country, and to strengthen social cohesion, in a bid to support economic activities and improve the people’s living conditions. It also seeks to create access to farming areas as well as social, administrative and commercial infrastructure. The specific objective of the project is to: (i) complete the upgrade and asphalting of RN 18  and (ii) improve the level of service offered to users along RN 18, as well as the people’s living conditions.  The road beneficiaries are essentially: (i) farmers who previously experienced difficulties in selling their harvest and purchasing inputs  (ii) local youth and women who will be employed in jobs created by the road project and get easier access to socio-economic infrastructure  (iii) project area pupils who will enjoy better travel conditions on the road  (iv) the government, which will broaden its tax base through business activities  (v) industrialists and loggers who will benefit from reduced transport costs  and (vi) higher education students who will obtain improved access to the internet.

Burundi - Support energy for cooking and restoration of the environment in four refugee camps. The proposed project aims at stabilising/building resilience to the fragility risks they face and peaceful co-habitation between the host population and refugees in Burundi. Burundi hosts many refugees fleeing instability in Eastern Congo and is under considerable environmental pressure due to the collection of firewood by these refugees. In this respect, the project design is based on an approach aimed at mitigating these fragility factors through the provision of alternative energy sources to firewood, reforestation in and around the camps and the promotion of peaceful co-habitation between refugees and the host population for better social cohesion which in turn contributes to the living conditions of the refugees and host population at the economic, social and health levels. Its implementation is structured around the following three (03) components: (i) Access to clean energy for cooking in the camps  (ii) Reforestation around the camps  and (iii) Peaceful co-habitation between refugees and host population through income generating activities.  The project will improve the resilience and contribute to economic stability and self-reliance for refugees, host populations as well as vulnerable Burundian returnees across Burundi, in the areas where refugee camps are situated. This will be achieved by providing those three vulnerable groups with access to an alternative energy source for cooking in refugee camps and their host populations, including returnees, who live around the areas of Burundi in which refugee camps are situated, as those regions are subject to poverty and environmental degradation.  This project targets 43,296 people (about half of whom are women) living in refugee camps in Burundi, with special focus on refugee women and girls, taking into consideration their specific protection needs as prioritised during the Age, Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming (AGDM) in February 2018. They receive biomass briquettes as an alternative source of energy for cooking in the camps. This project contributes to the reduction of gender-based violence against women who have to collect firewood on the one hand, improvement of working conditions and reduction of hardship in the collection of firewood, improvement of the sanitary conditions of the refugees through the use of clean energy solutions etc.

Burundi - Support Project for the Development Strategy Preparation Process (PAPESD). The Project to Support the Development Strategies Process (PAPESD) aims to support the Government of the Republic of Burundi and to strengthen the country's institutional capacity in the preparation and implementation of development strategies and policies. It will be realized over a period of 24 months and is articulated around the following components: (i) Support to the process of preparation of the national development strategy  (ii) Support for the implementation of the National Employment Policy, (iii) Support to the coordination and monitoring-evaluation of the Project.  The objective of the project is to support and strengthen the institutional capacities for development and implementation of development strategies and policies.  The main beneficiary of the project is the Government of the Republic of Burundi.

Burundi - Youth Unemployment Reduction and Diaspora Engagement. The proposed project intends to play a leading role in the implementation of the national employment policy and strategies by using an innovative approach to address the issue of youth employment through market-based training modules and by engaging members of the Burundi Diaspora to play a key role. The Burundi Diaspora comprises a wealth of human resources with varied skills which, if properly managed, would be beneficial for the development of the country. This project aims to reintegrate these skills into the overall development of Burundi, with a particular emphasis on knowledge transfer and exchange of experience in all its forms to address the fragility factors that undermine the employment of Burundian youth. In doing so, this Project will contribute to strengthening the relationship between the Government and its Diaspora. Finally, it will have a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable youth by providing them with better prospects for the future, thus contributing to strengthening the country's resilience. The Project comprises three (3) components: (i) a baseline assessment, market study and mapping of the Burundi Diaspora and awareness raising activities (ii) a series of business and vocational skills trainings coupled with work placements and livelihood support targeted at different categories of youth, and (iii) Capacity Building for the Government of Burundi to promote the engagement of the Diaspora in the economic financing of the country. The total cost amounts to UA 1,000,000 or approximately USD 1,398,000. It is expected that the activities will be implemented for twenty-four (24) months in two provinces: Bujumbura Mairie and Gitega. Currently, these two provinces have a high number of unemployed, underemployed or otherwise disadvantaged youth.  The objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of Burundian youth unemployment which is a factor of fragility by creating sustainable jobs and providing youth with the necessary professional and business skills to succeed in the formal labour market through diaspora engagement. This overall objective is broken down into the following specific objectives: (i) To improve the vocational skills of at-risk youth through appropriate Diaspora training aimed at improving the economic prospects of at-risk youth  (ii) To improve targeted dialogue with the Burundian Diaspora as trainers and distance mentors to promote youth employment  (iii) Strengthen Diaspora-Government dialogue to improve Diaspora involvement in the country's economic development and promote youth empowerment, including a mapping exercise of Burundi Diaspora demographics in two strategic countries  (iv) Support the strategic process of putting in place incentives including standardisation of procedures for strong Diaspora involvement in the financing of the Country in general, and the NDP in particular.  This project will directly benefit at least 450 young people (50% of whom are women), including young people at risk of irregular immigration, young people at risk of being trafficked, young people at risk of violence or criminality, internally displaced young people and young returnees, as well as young people involved in sports activities within the various associations. Within these six risk groups, priority will be given to young orphans, female heads of household and the disabled.

Burundi - Agriculture and Livestock Value Chains Sustainable Development Support Project (PADCAE-B). The Agriculture and Livestock Value Chains Development Support Project in Burundi (PADCAE-B) is in line with the PND (2018- 2027) which aims to promote intensive and modernised agriculture to ensure food security and foster market agriculture. The project is in line with the ADF-15 operational and strategic priorities which aim to create a conducive environment for inclusive and sustainable transformation, decent jobs and stronger resilience. It will be implemented in Gitega, Kirundo and Muyinga Provinces in northern Burundi, with a total population estimated at 2,956,784 people (24% of the national population), a land area of 1,671 ha (or 18% of the national total) and a population density of 553 inhab/km². Project interventions will focus on a limited number of value chains (rice, maize, goats, pigs and fish) identified by beneficiaries, articulated around 4 components: (i) land development, integrated land management, land restoration and security  (ii) development of climate-resilient agriculture and support for nutrition (iii) institutional, capacity building and agricultural entrepreneurship support  and (iv) project management and coordination. PADCAE-B will be implemented over a period of 5 years (2020-2025) for a total cost of UA 16.39 million. When implemented, the project will help to fight food and nutrition insecurity, promote youth employment and gender, boost agricultural output through resilient and sustainable agriculture, encourage the structuring, organization and capacity and building of cooperatives, private sector stakeholders and operational State structures, and improve land management.  The sector objective is to help to sustainably strengthen food and nutrition security and build the resilience of the rural populations of Ngozi, Kirundo and Muyinga Provinces. The specific objectives are: (i) land development, integrated land management, land restoration and security, (ii) development of climate-resilient agriculture and livestock value chains and support to nutrition and (iii) institutional, capacity building and agricultural entrepreneurship support.  The project area (PA) covers Kirundo, Muyinga and Ngozi Provinces situated in northern Burundi with a total estimated population of 2,743,366 people, making 24% of the national population, and covering a land area of 1,671 ha (or 18% of the total land area of the country). The project has several beneficiaries at the central and decentralised levels. It will benefit directly 138,060 people, 56% of them women, and indirectly all 2,743,366 inhabitants of the 3 provinces. At central level, the key beneficiaries are the Ministry in charge of Agriculture and its technical departments and allied structures such as R&D and training institutions.

Burundi - Project to support the improvement of resource mobilisation and the business climate. The present intervention concerns the Support Project for the Improvement of Resource Mobilization and Business Climate. It contributes to efforts to improve tax and customs revenues and to monitor development projects. In particular, the project will support the implementation of the national development plan based on public finance management, private sector development and monitoring and evaluation. Within this framework, the African Development Bank intends to provide the Government of the Republic of Burundi with a grant of one million Units of Account (UA 1,000,000) or 2,509 million Burundi francs (BIF) under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TSF).  The Bank's support is aimed at strengthening internal resource mobilization capacities and promoting dialogue between the government, the private sector and partners for inclusive growth and reduction of factors of fragility.  The project will benefit the entire country.

Burundi - Emergency Agricultural Production Project. The Emergency Agricultural Production Project in Burundi (AEFPF-Burundi) is designed to strengthen the food security of the Burundi population in the face of the global crisis that has been aggravated by the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The emergency operation will focus on building the capacity of women's cooperatives and groups (60%), by facilitating their access to production resources (rice and maize seeds, fertilizers) but also to training cooperative committees (at least >60% women) in financial/digital inclusion. The project is structured around the following three components: (i) Intensification of agricultural production, (iii) Support to gender-sensitive policies targeting the accessibility of agricultural inputs, and (iii) Project coordination and management. Gender and climate change are mainstreamed in all components.

The project supplies Sierra Leone with the least cost option for addressing the energy shortage, and supplies a much needed infrastructure on which the country relies to build development projects. The hydro-power plant relieves the country from the burden of heavy expenses by reducing the need for diesel fuel for production of electricity. The project basically consists of the construction of a 50 MW hydroelectric power station at Bumbuna and the erection of a 200 km transmission line to transport the electricity produced from Bumbuna to Freetown, Makeni and Lunsar. The project when completed will result in the replacement of thermal power by relatively cheap and reliable hydropower in the National Grid. This in turn will result in i) the saving of foreign exchange spent on fuel and spare parts for diesel generation  ii) the enhancement of the development of the industrial, mining and commercial activities  iii) improvement of the standard of living of the population  and iv) consumers presently relying on their own generation will switch over to hydropower supply thus resulting in benefits to the economy.  The goal of the energy sector is to improve the environment for job creation and poverty reduction through the provision of modern energy services. The objective of the project is to increase the supply of reliable, cost effective and environmentally sustainable electricity for industrial, commercial and domestic use in Freetown, the towns of Makeni and Lunsar and Bumbuna village.  The project beneficiaries are one million people living in Free Town, and the villages of Bumbuna, Makeni and Lunsar, which will benefit from additional power production and will have be able to use electricity for their domestic and business needs. The outcomes are: i) 40 000 existing consumers in Freetown have access to continuous power supply, ii) unit cost of electricity is reduced from 40 to 11 US cents, iii) increase of number of towns with reliable electricity supply from 0 to 12, iv) reduction of Youth unemployment rate from 60% to 12%, and v) increase of installed generating and transmission capacity in the country by 50 MW.

Institutional Support Project to Strengthen Public Financial Management & Energy Sector Project. The purpose of the ADF-IX grant of UA 2.79 million is to assist the Government in strengthening the capacity of the institutions involved in Public Financial Management (PFM), as well as rebuilding the destroyed management, policy-making and implementation capacity of the Ministry of Energy and Power (MEP). The need to strengthen the capacity of PEM institutions is derived from the 2001 Country Financial Accountability Assessment (CFAA) Report and the May 2004 Sierra Leone’s Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Expenditure Tracking Assessment and Action Plan (AAP), undertaken by the world Bank and other development partners, which revealed serious weaknesses that create high fiduciary risks in the current PEM system.  The objectives of the project are to (i) strengthen the productive capacity of the institutions involved Public Financial Management (PFM)  (ii) Strengthen the capacity of the public sector to manage the national debt and to establish a country-wide tracking system to capture and reconcile data on all external loans and grant  (iii) to rebuild the destroyed management, policy-making and implementation capacity of the Ministry of Energy and Power (MEP)  and (iv)improve the performance of the ADB portfolio in the country through the enhancement of the management capacity of the Project Implementation Units responsible for the on going projects.  This project will benefit the Government and the people of Sierra Leone in several ways. First, the project will significantly assist in building the weakened human and institutional capacity in the public sector. Second, the project will contribute in promoting economic governance, and in the fight against the abject poverty. Third, because of the improved infrastructure in Sierra Leone, economic agents will feel more confident to conduct their business and this will reflect, sooner or later, in enhanced and sustained economic activity.

Sierra Leone - Public Financial Management and Business Enabling Support Project (PFMBESP). The Public Financial Management and Business Enabling Support Project (PFMBESP) complements and adds value to Government and other development partners’ efforts to meet the challenges faced by the country. The rationale for the project is three-fold: first, severe organizational weaknesses in the PFM institutions constitute one of the most critical constraints to development, poverty reduction and sustainable peace in Sierra Leone. Hence tackling these weaknesses is a priority for the Government and its development partners. Second, by strengthening the fiduciary systems in government institutions, the proposed project will also help to curb corruption and leakage in public funds. Third, the project will help consolidate gains in financial and economic governance reform supported under the previous project and ongoing PFM reform. The project will build capacity of key institutions to deepen and implement reforms in Public Financial Management (PFM), extractive industries transparency and accountability, and private sector development. It has four main components which are mutually reinforcing: (i) strengthening transparency and accountability in public financial management, (ii) improving extractive industries governance  (iii) improving business enabling environment for private sector development, and (iv) project management.  The project’s broad development objective is to support the effort and plan of the Government to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction, through support to PFM reform and private sector development. The specific objectives are to (i) strengthen transparency and accountability in the use of public resources through organizational and human resource capacity building of local councils and oversight and integrity institutions, and (ii) promote private sector development through business enabling reform, and capacity building of Small and Medium Enterprises and private sector support institutions.  In focusing on institutions involved in public financial management and private sector development, the direct beneficiaries are: the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFED), and the nineteen local councils, the Auditor General (ASSL), the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoTI), the Sierra Leone Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (SL-EITI), the Ministry of Mineral Resources (MoMR), and the Sierra Leone Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SLIEPA). The indirect beneficiaries are the general population who will benefit from improved PFM and enhanced fiscal space for pro-poor social service delivery  as well as private sector actors who will benefit from improved business environment.

Sierra Leone - Public Financial Management Improvement and Consolidation Project. The project is designed as a capacity building intervention using the Institutional Support Project instrument to respond to the core thrust of the Government of Sierra Leone Public Finance Management (PFM) Reform Strategy. The project specifically responds to the Government’s request to harmonize and coordinate all Public Finance Management (PFM) reform activities under a single reform umbrella and joint funding arrangements, avoiding different sets of rules. This is an innovative institutional support project in terms of implementing the Bank’s commitment to development effectiveness. Innovation comes from the proposed funding modality, which will provide funds through a pooled funding arrangement. This approach has been used by the Bank in Liberia, and the design of this project has drawn on the extensive experience of that project still ongoing. In order to realize the gains that have occurred from the previous Bank projects, Bank intervention seeks to continue focusing on institutional capacity building particularly: (i) ensuring sustainability and improved coordination with other development partners, and (ii) strengthening the supply and demand side of governance. This will require strengthening the PFM institutions (e.g., key departments in the MoFED)  accountability institutions, such as external audit  the Legislature  and support to the civil society.  Through strengthened institutional capacity for the delivery of effective PFM and oversight, the expected outcomes will be enhanced fiscal discipline, strategic allocation of resources and efficient service delivery. The project is expected to lead to: (i) Enhanced Budget Planning, and Credibility  (ii) Strengthened fiscal control, accountability and oversight  (iii) Strengthened revenue mobilization and administration systems  (iv) Strengthened local governance, financial management & accountability systems  and (v) Improved PFM coordination and project management.  The direct beneficiaries of the project include: the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFED)  the Budget Bureau and associated units of the MoFED  line ministries  the Accountant General’s Department  the Internal Audit Department  the Human Resources Management Office (HMRO), the National Revenue Agency  the National Public Procurement Agency  Local Councils  the Audit Service Sierra Leone  and the Public Accounts Committee, Transparency Committee, as well as the Finance and Appropriations Committee of Parliament. In addition, the project will benefit non-state actors in exercising demandside accountability and oversight responsibilities in the area of PFM. The impact on poverty and all other cross cutting areas will therefore be indirect, but significant. The project will promote gender balance through the training programs.

Economic Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Loan. The main verifiable indicators in the area of macroeconomic reform include: the trend of inflation, money supply, fiscal and current account deficits, targets on revenue collections and expenditures, and the changes in the public debt situation.  On social sector reforms, the main indicators are budgetary allocations to health and education, number of school and hospitals rehabilitated, and progress in resettling the displaced population. Sector specific reforms will be monitored through the completion of the on-going exercise to verify the bona fide civil servants, preparation and implementation of poverty reduction measures proposed in the full PRSP, and the country's progress in accessing and sustaining the Highly Indebted Poor Countries Initiatives (HIPCs)

Economic Rehabilitation and Recovery Loan-II. The ADF to-date has approved four balance of payments operations in support of Sierra Leone’s structural adjustment reform process. The total amounts approved in support of structural reforms constitute 25.7% of the net cumulative amounts approved to-date. The main objective of the first Structural Adjustment Loan (SAL) of UA 18.421 million, approved in October 1992, was to create macroeconomic stability, accelerate economic growth and combat poverty. The serious escalation in insecurity in the 1990s, however, made it difficult for the Government to effectively implement the reform program.  The objective of the second structural adjustment operation, the Economic Rehabilitation and Recovery Loan (ERRL) in the amount of UA 10.0 million was approved by the Board on 13 June 2001. The main focus of the ERRL was to address the immediate post-war needs of accelerating economic growth, implementing structural reforms, including governance reforms and improving basic social services. The ERRL was designed to supplement the IMF’s Emergency Post Conflict Assistance and the World Bank’s Economic Rehabilitation and Recovery Credit. The ERRL was implemented as planned in a period of eighteen months, and was fully disbursed by June 2001 .

Economic Rehabilitation and Recovery Program. The proposed EERP-III, with resources in the amount of UA 10.7 million, will assist government in implementing policies designed to promote good governance while at the same time helping to close Sierra Leone's external financing gap.  As indicated in Annex Table V, the current account deficit (excluding official transfers) widened from 12.1 percent in 2002 to 17.7 percent in 2004, and while it is expected to narrow to 13.6 percent in 2005 it remains high at 10.4 percent by 2007.  The grant will help narrow the deficit. It will also help reduce the inflationary pressures in the economy.

Sierra Leone - The Economic Governance Reform Programme I (EGRP I). 10.1,,The overarching goal is to accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty. The program objective will focus on improving efficiency, transparency and accountability in the use of public resources as laid out in the country's PRSP II and IPFMRP. More specifically, the program will support key reform measures aimed at enhancing fiscal and budget management  procurement reform  and accounting, audit and oversight, payroll control, and PFM capacity development. 10.2,,The measures supported by the proposed budget support operation are expected to have a positive impact on poverty reduction. The strengthening of PFM would enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability in public investments and service delivery.

Sierra Leone - Economic Governance Reform Program (EGRP II). The second Economic Governance Reform Program (EGRP II) is aligned with Sierra Leone’s Agenda for Change (PRSP II), and the African Development Bank/World Bank Joint Assistance Strategy (JAS) for Sierra Leone. The EGRP is justified by the fragility of Sierra Leone's economy and socio-political systems as a post-conflict country. It aims to assist the Government in implementing its poverty reduction strategy and the integrated PFM reform program. The current budget support operation should continue the reforms initiated under EGPR I and complemented by the institutional support project and the targeted technical assistance program. The EGRP II focuses on two components namely: (i) strengthening public expenditure management, and (ii) strengthening revenue governance in the mining and energy sectors. The expected outcomes of the program are improved fiscal discipline and efficiency/effectiveness of public expenditures, and improved revenue transparency and accountability in the mining and the energy sectors.  The program objective is to improve PFM transparency and accountability essential for inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. Specifically, EGRP II should contribute to improving the PFM system and building a strong fiduciary system to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of public resources.  The direct beneficiaries are Sierra Leonean key public institutions of PFM responsible for fiduciary control. The indirect beneficiaries are the population of Sierra Leone in general, who should benefit from better public financial management and improved fiscal space for pro-poor budgetary allocation for social services delivery, thus enhancing social benefits for the population.

Sierra Leone - Inclusive Economic Management Program – Phase I. The IEMP was designed as a three year programmatic budget support operation with the first year reform actions undertaken prior to Board approval. The programmatic operational design framework seeks to promote predictability in donor financing and prioritise reform measures by Government Agencies. The prior actions or conditions precedent to first disbursement were supported by the Government’s efforts in implementing budget closer to plan in 2014, enhanced donor predictability by financing the budget at the earlier part of the year and compelled government to take actions that ensured transparency in the extractive sector. The three year framework, aimed to provide a Bank-GoSL agreed medium term path of reforms, while providing the needed flexibility in a fragile policy environment by allowing for annual benchmarks to be revised regularly.

Tech Assistance for Mcc Ca Development. The project has two main objectives, namely: (i) provide technical backstopping to the MCC National Core Team to conduct Constraints Analysis and (ii) identify the core constraints and investment opportunities which are essential in stimulating economic growth and poverty reduction.

Sierra Leone - Rehabilitation and Extension of Bo-Kenema Distribution System Project. The Rehabilitation and Extension of Bo-Kenema's Distribution System Project aims at upgrading and extending the Bo and Kenema power distribution network. The project is identified as a key deliverable of the Government's Post Ebola Recovery Program (PERP), which is in line with Sierra Leone's Agenda for Prosperity (A4P) renewed focus. The project will increase  its power transfer capacity and increase reliability and availability of power supply in the the Bo-Kenema area, in Sierra Leone. More specifically, the project will focus on (i) upgrading and building a 70 kilometre (km) overhead 33 kilovolt (kV) line between Bo and Kenema along with the construction of two primary substations and rehabilitation of two city centres 33/11 kV substations in Bo and Kenema  (ii) extending medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) distribution network in both cities  (iii) implementing an end-user connection campaign with the objective to connect 37 000 additional households to the grid  (iv) providing services for preparation of designs and bid documents  (v) providing capacity building to Electricity Supply and Distribution Authority's (EDSA) relevant stakeholders  and vi) arranging for temporary power generation during construction. The total project cost is estimated at UA 38.08 million of which, the African Development Bank will contribute UA 9.309 million, the Department for International Development (DFID) UA 27.84 million, and the Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) UA 0.93 million.  The final development goal of the project is to ensure reliable power supply and access through a complete rehabilitation, improvement and extension of the distribution network enabling newly established communities who do not have access to electricity to be connected to the grid. The project should allow, more specifically, the construction of distribution lines, substations and an end-user connection campaign in Bo and Kenema.  The project’s direct beneficiaries are households, small businesses and manufacturing units located in the towns of Bo-Kenema and Blama. More than 500 000 persons in general, will benefit from better power supply in one way or another. The project seeks to enhance reliability of power supply for existing subscribers, which represents approximately 17,521 customers (10,509 in Bo, 6,762 in Kenema including 250 in Blama), and provide 37,000 additional connections to the grid. Other villages and communities along the project corridor including Baoma, Yamandu, Gerehun, Mano Junction and Panguma will be connected to the distribution line.

Sierra Leone - Mano River union rehabilitation of Bo-Bandajuma road project. The proposed project involves rehabilitation of the Bo-Bandajuma road at an estimated total cost of UA23.84 million. This is a critical link of national and regional importance linking the south eastern parts of Sierra Leone and regionally to neighboring Mano River Union (MRU) member states and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Nation-wide, the Bo-Bandajuma road provides access to the southern region district towns of Bo (second largest City after Freetown) and Pujehun. The road passes through one of the areas that was severely affected by the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Crisis and will aide in the post recovery period in delivery and provision of access to social-economic services. Given its advanced state of deterioration, its rehabilitation is necessary to maintain its status as a route of choice providing safe and efficient movement of freight and services. The project addresses key development objectives outlined in the country development agenda, the Agenda for Prosperity (A4P). The Bank’s intervention complements the planned upgrading of the Trans-African Highway (TAH) missing link between Bandajuma-Zimmi-MRU Bridge that is to be financed by the Commission of European Union (EU). The project involves the rehabilitation of 46km section of road between Bo (the country’s second largest town) to Bandajuma. It will also support the completion of three studies: pre-feasibility study for the rehabilitation of the Mano River Bridge, update of studies for the Kailahun Koindu Guinea Border road, study to identify trade and transport facilitation needs and assessment of joint Border operations within the MRU transport corridors. It will cover awareness campaigns on HIV/AIDS, malaria, Ebola, gender and road safety.  The overall goal of the project is to support Sierra Leone’s economic growth agenda through development of strategic transport infrastructure that significantly contribute to its poverty reduction strategy. The objectives are to provide efficient nation-wide road transport access to the southern districts of Bo and Pujehun and regionally to the Mano River Union Member States and ECOWAS as a whole. The Project is expected to improve the living conditions of the communities in the project’s zone of influence. The expected outcomes include: (a) reduced transport  costs and  travel  time   (b)  enhanced  potential  for  agriculture development thereby contributing  to  poverty  reduction  among communities along the  corridor   and  (c)  improved access to social –economic services including, local markets, schools and health facilities  and (d) improved road safety.  The beneficiaries include  the  local  communities  within the road zone  of  influence, which  is expected  to benefit from the  project  through  provision  of  reliable  access  to socio-economic facilities  including  schools,  markets  and  health  centers which in  turn should  boost  the  local economy  and  contribute  to  poverty alleviation.  The road will also serve international traffic within Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)/Mano River Union Region (Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone), and will thus contribute to regional integration.

Sierra Leone - Rice Agro Industrial Cluster (RAIC). The Sierra Leone Rice Agro-Industrial Cluster (SL RAIC) Project, in the rural floodplain areas of Pujehun and Bonthe Districts of Sierra Leone, will help advance GoSL’s renewed commitment to sustainably transform the agricultural sector, under its New Direction Agenda and the National Agricultural Transformation Program (NAT 2023). The SL RAIC project is needed to address a major and traditional production challenge of reliance on floating rice cultivation in one of SL’s major rice production areas by introducing solutions that allow for dry-season, modern cultivation and processing of quality rice. The key expected outputs of the Project include more than 3-fold per hectare, increase in Rice production figures (currently 1-5-2.0 tons/ha), commercialisation of rice production and increased wealth for rice producing communities. The SL RAIC Project will be implemented over five years at a total cost of UA 23.29 million.  The goal of the Rice Agro-Industrial Cluster Project (RAIC) is to contribute to rice self-sufficiency in Sierra Leone and improve the livelihoods of rural households. The specific objectives are to: (i) increase the productivity and production of rice by providing farmers access to quality inputs, land and water management, mechanization and extension services  (ii) improve the value chain through the processing of high-quality rice  (iii) promoting the consumption and marketing of locally processed rice.  The direct beneficiaries of the Project are the estimated 35,000 active smallholder farmers and other SME operators along the rice value chain in the Project area. It is expected that this Model project will be expanded into other SL rice production clusters, for a wider impact. Farmers will experience a demand-driven multiple increase in rice yields through input support via linkages to large scale operators, targeted and demand-driven skills development and entrepreneurship support, and the provision of enabling infrastructure and common user facilities. Rice processors will have access to modern processing facilities and methodologies. Arranged marketing channels are expected to guarantee overall wealth creation, food and nutrition security, poverty reduction, and improved livelihoods for the farming communities and their households. Women and youth are specifically targeted to increase their participation and benefits from the project especially through the sustainable creation of jobs.

Sierra Leone - Emergency Food Production Program. The proposed operation is a grant of UA One Million, Five Hundred Thousand to the Republic of Sierra Leone to finance the Emergency Food Production Programme. This amount is meant to come from the TSF unallocated reserves. It is a Sector Budget Support prepared under the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) and will be implemented from 2022 to 2024. The project is designed within the framework of the government’s Quick Action Food Security Response Plan (QA-FSRP) to the war-induced food security threat. The Programme is the Bank Group’s contribution to the QA-FSRP to deal with the rising food prices caused by the Ukraine war. It will focus on the production, harvesting and marketing of rice. The Ministry of Agriculture will provide smart subsidies to reduce the cost of certified rice seeds and fertilizers available to smallholder farmers, through the established e-wallet input distribution system over two cropping seasons. Bank resources will assist the government to give farmers access to certified seeds.  The principal objective of the programme is to raise food production in Sierra Leone to mitigate the impact of the war in Ukraine by supporting farmers and government with the necessary resources. The programme will contribute to achieving short-term food security at household and national level, and thereby contribute to supporting economic stability and social welfare. The specific objective is to assist the Government of Sierra Leone by contributing to increasing climate resilient food production, through direct smart subsidies to vulnerable farmers.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are 67,000 farmers who will be provided with smart subsidies, rice value chain actors and the government of Sierra Leone to support and improve the regulatory environment for climate-resilient agricultural development. The project will indirectly benefit the people of Sierra Leone by providing food and nutrition security.

Sierra Leone - Strenghtening efficiency in public debt management. The proposed operation concerns a loan of Seventy-Five Million United States Dollars (USD 75,000,000) from the resources of ADB, and a loan of Forty-Nine Million and Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD 49,400,000) from the resources of AGTF, to the Republic of Angola, to finance implementation of the Coastal Towns Inclusive Sanitation Project Phase 1. The project’s operation is part of the effort of the GoA to improve the water and sanitation service delivery in the country as enunciated in the NDP and Sector Investment Plan. It is expected to contribute to the betterment of the health and socioeconomic situation of the beneficiary towns’ populations. The project will consist of the following three components: (i) Development of Sanitation Infrastructure  (ii) Capacity building and institutional strengthening  and (iii) Project Management.  The development objective of the project is to improve access to climate-resilient and sustainable sanitation services in the Coastal Towns of Benguela, Baía Farta, Catumbela and Lobito. The achievement of the project development objective will require strengthening of the capacity of communities and the public and private service providers. It will provide the necessary sanitation infrastructure for ensuring effective treatment of wastewater and faecal sludge, collection and transportation, and improvement at household level. Schools and health facilities in the project area will receive assistance to acquire improved sanitation facilities.  The project area is located within the Benguela province of Angola and covers the coastal towns of Benguela [769,492], Baía Farta [71,122], Catumbela [126,653] and Lobito [476,358] with combined population size of 1.4 million. The proportion of women is estimated at 52.6% and close to 48% of the population is young 0-14 years old. The project interventions will benefit all the residents of the four towns directly and women will be the main beneficiaries due to their role, especially mothers of young children whose productivity is adversely affected when they have to take care of young children who suffer from frequent episodes of diarrhoea as well as the time spent seeking healthcare.

Senegal - Dakar-Diamniadio-AIBD Regional Express Train Project - Phase I: Dakar-Diamniadio Segment. The Regional Express Train (TER) project which will cover a total distance of 55 km, from the Dakar city centre to the Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD), via Diamniadio, is intended to transport 113,000 passengers per day and should form the public transport backbone of the Dakar metropolitan area. The project will be implemented in two phases, namely: Dakar-Diamniadio (36 km) and Diamniadio-AIBD (19 km). The expected project outcomes are: (i) a reduction in travel time  (ii) increased mobility  and (iii) reduced congestion through the consolidation of public transport dominance. Lastly, this project will support women’s and youth activities through: (i) the development of multipurpose sports complexes for the youth  (ii) the construction of women's centres and childcare centres  (iii) support for youth associations  (iv) support for women's organizations  (v) support to health structures  (vi) support for local economic initiatives (handicrafts, fishing, etc.)  (vii) construction of market infrastructure  and (viii) training in railroad professions to facilitate integration into this sector.  The project's development objective is to contribute to the restructuring of the urban transport system in the Dakar Region in order to achieve the expected level of GDP growth. Specifically, the project will: (i) significantly improve the railway service level between the city centre and suburbs of Dakar  (ii) improve the working conditions of women's groups and youth employability in the project area  and (iii) raise awareness on railway safety, environmental protection and the protection of public property.  The direct project beneficiaries are transport users of the PA who rely on motorized means of transport (20% of daily trips). Considering that the project will reduce congestion and pollution, the indirect beneficiaries are persons who go on foot (80% of daily trips).

Senegal - Project to rehabilitate National Road 2 (RN2) and open up access to Morphil Island. The Project to rehabilitate National Road 2 (RN2) and open up access to Morphil Island is an investment project for the rehabilitation of road infrastructure. The project includes the development and paving of roads on Morphil Island, which is an area with great agricultural potential and where the populations face enormous difficulties in their movements and trade with the rest of the country. The development of this area is constrained by its landlocked status and requires the construction of road infrastructure, to ensure permanent links between different localities. This road infrastructure development and paving programme in Morphil Island will link the populations concerned to National Road 2 and, therefore, ensure territorial continuity of the region with the rest of the country. The project will also contribute to the objectives of the National Rice Self-sufficiency Programme (PNAR). Project activities will be implemented from September 2015 to December 2018. The total cost of the entire project, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 283.98 million (EUR 361.15 million).  The sector goal of the project is to help reduce poverty and increase regional trade. Its specific objectives are to: (i) improve the service level on National Highway 2 (RN2)  (ii) open up Morphil Island  and (iii) improve the living conditions of the population in the project area.  The main project beneficiaries are the farmers, who face difficulties in obtaining inputs and marketing their products due to the poor state of the roads. The project will have a positive impact on women and young people by improving their access to socio-economic activities and creating new employment opportunities. Other project beneficiaries are the manufacturers, carriers and shippers, who will witness a significant reduction of their operating and logistic costs as a result of the rehabilitation of highways and development of rural roads.

Senegal - Emergency COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PUARC). The present intervention relates to award of a loan of EUR 88 million from African Development Bank (AfDB) resources to finance the Emergency COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PUARC) in Senegal. It is crisis response budget support as defined in the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). As of May 14th, 2020, the country had 2105 confirmed cases, of which 21 died and 782 were cured. The first case was reported on 2 March 2020 and since then the curve has been rising with the first death recorded on 31 March 2020. Given the current context of a growing epidemic in the country, and a world economy brought to a halt by the pandemic, Senegal has requested for Crisis Response Budget Support (CRBS). The operation aims to support social response and contribute to the mitigation of macroeconomic risks engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic. PUARC is aligned with the Economic and Social Response Plan (ESRP) deployed by the authorities to address the health, social and economic aspects of the crisis.  This operation has a dual objective, namely: (i) support the social response phase and (ii) contribute to the mitigation of macroeconomic risks. The project is based on two components, namely: (i) support for health response and community resilience and (ii) mitigating macro-economic risks.  The programme is expected to directly benefit one million households through food distribution kits. It will also benefit 975,000 households through the payment of electricity bills and 670,000 households through the payment of water bills. Ultimately, the most vulnerable Senegalese households are expected to experience income stabilisation. Meanwhile, the economic measures should safeguard jobs and enable businesses to quickly resume activities as soon as the crisis eases.

Senegal - Accelerated Industrialization, Competitiveness and Employment Support Programme (PAAICE). PAAICE will provide direct support to the Government’s Competitiveness and Employment Acceleration Programme (PACE) which is a flagship post-COVID-19 recovery and long-term development programme that is consistent with the Adjusted and Accelerated Priority Action Plan (PAP2A). The operation will help to accelerate the transfer of resources allocated to selected projects and reforms in order to ensure rapid and effective implementation thereby achieving development outcomes within a reasonable lapse of time. The programme will also make it possible to co-finance operations designed together with other development partners so as to contribute significantly to the Government’s agenda aimed at implementing the post-COVID-19 recovery plan and achieving the objectives of structural transformation set out in the PSE and promoted by PAP2A. The programme comprises four components defining the thrust areas that can help to achieve set objectives, namely:(1) a “Competitiveness” component that aims to strengthen priority value chains through better understanding of bottlenecks and the reforms to be implemented (2) a “Financing” component that seeks to improve access by MSMEs to financing and the formalization of economic actors  (3) an “Assistance and Technology” component aimed at supporting the private sector to own technologies and access markets  and (4) a “Private Investment” component that aims to attract new financing  and  develop transformative projects, particularly through the promotion of PPPs. The Programme total Cost is UA 90 million for Five years, covering the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 fiscal years.  PAAICE’s development goal is to support economic recovery, accelerated industrialization and job creation in Senegal by improving: (i) the competitiveness of value chains  (ii)productivity and adoption of hardware and organizational technologies  (iii) access to financing  and (iv) private sector development.  The programme will benefit project owners, MSMEs, self-employed entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs and the Senegalese people. Senegalese MSMEs will be the direct beneficiaries of the operation through the support provided by the FONGIP Guarantee Fund, the DER-FJ and FONSIS. The programme will also place particular emphasis on MSMEs operating in low-carbon value chains and with high potential to support green growth, in order to support Senegal’s march towards carbon neutrality. Lastly, the Senegalese people are expected to benefit from this programme, particularly through the jobs created in the enterprises supported. The programme also targets entrepreneurs in the informal sector, who represent more than 90% of the Senegalese economic fabric, and a large part of whom are young people and women. The latter will benefit from direct support for formalization, as part of the technical support activities carried out by the DER-FJ, and from enhanced access to financing, which is one of the main obstacles to productivity gains. The informal sector, whose unmet need for financing is estimated at nearly twice that of the volume currently granted.

Senegal - Project to Support and Enhance the Entrepreneurial Initiatives of Women and Young People (PAVIE). The Project to Support and Promote Women’s and Youth Entrepreneurial Initiatives (PAVIE I) is the first phase of a programme named “Entrepreneurial Initiatives Promotion Programme (PROVIE)”, which consists of two phases. It is thus in line with the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE) in that it will help Delegation for Rapid Entrepreneurship (DER) to build its capacity to finance youth and women's entrepreneurial initiatives in the priority sectors of the PSE. Indeed, the plan for the second phase (2019-2023) is to create the conditions for a very strong and dynamic private sector in order to push growth to very high levels through the establishment of economic poles. The three-year project designed based on a demand-driven approach and implemented in coordination with the private sector, in particular banks and microfinance institutions will help to finance women's and young people's entrepreneurial initiatives throughout Senegal while providing for trade-related and business management technical support. It is structured around three components based on the project’s areas of intervention as well as the positioning of AfDB and AFD, which are cofinancing the project. The first component, concerning the promotion of entrepreneurship in agricultural and artisanal value chains with high job-creating potential will be handled by AfDB. The second, concerning the development of MSMEs with high value- and job-creating potential in the other priority sectors of the PSE, will be handled by AFD. The third component, concerning programme management and capacity building for DER, will be handled by AfDB and AFD together, to ensure compliance with these two institutions. Its total cost is estimated at UA 90.55 million.  The overall objective of the project is to support job creation for young people and women by promoting entrepreneurship. Specifically, it will help to promote entrepreneurial initiatives among women and young people by providing (i) access to financing and (ii) trades-related and business management technical support for entrepreneurs, with a view to ensuring the viability and sustainability of their enterprises.  The project has national coverage and targets young people (aged 18 to 40), 50% of whom will be young girls and women, an estimated population of nearly 7 million. Employability enhancement measures will reach about 30,000 people, nearly half of whom will be women. These people will benefit from technical and business management training to improve their productivity, for those already in business, and to create sustainable businesses, for neo-entrepreneurs. They will also be offered technical support throughout the project implementation period through strategic partnerships established between DER and technical and business management training entities. The technical training will cover the value chains of all the sectors targeted by the project, namely: milk, rice, inputs, poultry, fruit, market gardening, oilseeds, livestock, beekeeping, fisheries, aquaculture, salt, hides and skins. At least 14,000 projects involving young people aged 18 to 40 and women will be funded. For each sector, an estimate of the number of jobs to be created was made on the basis of DER project pipeline. Thus, the project will help to create or consolidate 65,000 direct jobs, including nearly half for women. Indirect employment is estimated at about 100,0000.

Senegal - Programme to Open up Agricultural and Mining Areas – Phase 1 (PDZAM-1). The proposed intervention is an AfDB loan of EUR 117.62 million and an Africa Growing Together Fund (AGTF) loan of EUR 44.00 million to the Republic of Senegal to contribute to the financing of phase I of the Programme to Open Up Agricultural and Mining Areas (PDZAM). The programme, which involves 786.20 kilometres of roads of roads to be developed and/or rehabilitated, will be financed in several phases. Phase 1 will concern 482.94 kilometres of roads covering the Kidira-Bakel section (65 kilometres), the Boucle du Riz section (172.44 kilometres), the Louga-Keur Momar Sarr-Richard Toll section (116.27 kilometres), the Orofondé-Matam section in Dandé Mayo Nord (104.23 kilometres), and a 25-kilometre stretch of National Highway No. 2 – RN2 (Thiès-Kébémer). The implementation of this programme will contribute to developing and unlocking the economic potential of Senegal’s northern regions by reducing transport costs. This first phase will be implemented over a period of 4 years.  The programme’s strategic objective is to contribute to: (i) increasing rice production and achieving self-sufficiency in cereals  and (ii) increasing mining production, particularly for phosphates. More specifically, the programme will help to: (i) improve service quality on the Bakel-Kidira, Louga-Keur Momar Sarr-Richard Toll, Boucle du Riz, and Dandé Mayo roads and on RN2 between Thiès and Kébémer, while building the resilience of these facilities to the vagaries of climate  (ii) facilitate linkage between the mining production areas of Matam and the Dakar-Bamako railway line which will be rehabilitated  and (iii) improve road access and the living conditions of the population in the direct programme impact area (DPIA).  The roads targeted under the programme are located in the regions of Thiès, Tambacounda, Saint-Louis, Louga and Matam, especially in the counties of Thiès, Tivaouane, Louga, Saint-Louis, Dagana, Matam, Bakel, Kebemer and Kanel which make up the direct programme impact area (DPIA). However, some road sections are part of the Nouakchott-Dakar Trans-African road corridor and/or serve as national roads. The extended programme impact area (EPIA) covers the regions listed above as well as the region of Dakar in Senegal and Mauritania. The DPIA covers a surface area of 28,812 square kilometres, that is 14.64% of the country’s surface area and, in 2019, had an estimated population of 2,902,632 inhabitants, representing about 17.91% of the country’s population. Women represent 50.17% of the population in the DPIA. The proportion of the population living in rural areas is 57.74%.

Senegal - Emergency Food Production Program (AEFPF). The proposed intervention is for an AfDB loan not exceeding Euro 100.798 million to the Republic of Senegal to finance the Emergency Food Production Programme. It is a sector budget support prepared in accordance the African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF). The budget support seeks to mitigate exogenous financial, economic, social and climatic shocks, as well as maintain the upward trend in cereal production observed in recent years, mainly by concentrating efforts on making the major inputs available to farmers (seeds and fertilizers). The programme is divided into three components: (i) Improving access to certified seeds and advisory support  (ii) Improving farmer access to fertilizers  (iii) Improving governance and implementation of public policies in the agricultural sector. It will be implemented over seventeen months, from July 2022 to December 2023.  The programme’s overall goal is to strengthen the country's food sovereignty by reducing dependence on imports of basic cereals and horticultural food products. Its specific objective is to reduce the country's dependence on food imports in the short and medium term by increasing the production and productivity of basic cereals (rice, maize, millet) and horticultural products.  The programme will directly benefit approximately 750.000 small farmers (35% women) who will have secure access to good quality seeds and fertilizers. It will also improve the food security and nutrition situation of about 4 million people (52% women).

Senegal - Centre Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project. The project “Centre Agro-Industrial Processing Zone” is designed to contribute to the reduction of food insecurity in rural areas, the reduction of food imports and export growth. The project will, in particular, target farmers and the private sector (including SMEs/SMIs) likely to invest in agricultural product processing and the provision of services. It will serve as a multi-subsector platform for the mainstreaming of technologies, equipment and services in favour of OPAs and SME/SMI based on a value chain approach and will create an attractive environment conducive to the growth of private investment, in particular, for agricultural product processing. The main expected outcomes of the PZTA-Centre project during Phase 1 (2023-2027) are as follows: a) The processing of at least 400,000 tonnes of groundnut, 100,000 tonnes of cereals and 50,000 tonnes of salt produced in the regions covered over five years  b) The creation/consolidation of 129,500 direct jobs and 208,800 indirect jobs, i.e. a total of 338,300 people, about 52% of whom will be women  c) Mobilisation of over CFAF 46 billion in private investment by the 37 projects structured during the development accelerator lab in key agro-industrial sub-sectors (groundnut, cereals, salt and others)  and d) The generation of at least CFAF 15.2 billion in tax revenue for the Senegalese government, a 3.3% increase in exports and 5.2% reduction in the trade balance.  The project’s overall objective is to ‘contribute to the reduction of food insecurity in rural areas, the reduction of food imports and export growth. The specific objectives are to: i) increase value-added on agricultural products through private investment to reduce agro-food imports and increase exports for products with a comparative advantage  and ii) sustainably increase productivity and output in priority (groundnut, cereals, salt) and complementary (animal products, horticulture, etc.) sub-sectors.  The project will directly benefit about 80,000 households, i.e. about 460,000 people (50% of whom will be women and 60% young people) whose incomes will rise by 30%, thus reducing the unemployment and under-employment rates to improve food and nutrition security. About 1.2 million people will be indirectly affected (51% women and 50% youth).

Senegal - Access to Water and Sanitation Services for Sustainable Resilience in Disadvantaged Areas Project. This intervention concerns the Access to Water and Sanitation Services for Sustainable Resilience in Disadvantaged Areas Project.  The project seeks primarily to: (i) establish safe and sustainable drinking water supply and sanitation services through new infrastructure operated in line with the policy of delegating public services to the private sector  (ii) implement a programme to prevent water-borne diseases and pandemics, including COVID-19  (iii) build resilience to climate change and improve governance by supporting the implementation of the IWRM programme and sector reforms  and (iv) support the implementation of a 9 th World Water Forum recommendation on resource mobilisation for projects. Concerning the rural water sub-sector, the project will contribute to improving the quality of the sector heritage to better secure the public water service entrusted to private operators within the framework of public service delegations. The project comprises four main components, including: A) secure access to sustainable water and sanitation services  B) health, nutrition and economic resilience  C) capacity building for climate change resilience and good governance of water, sanitation and hygiene services  and D) project coordination and management.  The overall project goal is to improve the quality of life of the population in disadvantaged peri-urban and rural areas in Senegal by providing them with sustainable access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services so as to achieve the SDGs and build resilience to water-borne diseases and pandemics (including COVID-19) and climate change. The various activities planned will be implemented in line with the spirit and orientations of the 9th World Water Forum held in March 2022, which was considered as a “Forum of Answers”. The specific project objectives are to reduce disparities in access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in rural and semi-urban areas, particularly by: (i) constructing water supply and sanitation infrastructure and equipment  (ii) promoting hygiene to build sustainable resilience to communicable diseases, including COVID-19, and agro-pastoral activities  (iii) building institutional and sector stakeholder capacity  (iv) contributing to achieving one of the 9th World Water Forum’s core objectives of promoting resource mobilisation to finance concrete projects.  The project will directly benefit about 1,450,000 people, 51% of them women.

Senegal - Project to Mitigate the Impact of COVID-19 on Food Security in the Louga, Matam and Kaffrine Regions. The Food Security Support Project in the Louga, Matam and Kaffrine Regions (PASA/LMK), which started in 2014, has achieved appreciable results in economic, environmental and social terms at its various intervention sites thanks to the hydro-agricultural infrastructure set up in close collaboration with the beneficiary rural communities. The project has facilitated access to diversified agricultural and pastoral infrastructure (2,450 ha of lowland rice fields, 320 ha of modern agricultural farms, 18 pastoral boreholes, etc.), as well as to adapted technologies, services and training for about 18,628 small producers, women and young people, and their organisations. It has also raised the hopes of the population faced with the problems of climate change. The grant awarded by the Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme (GAFSP) aims to consolidate the gains of PASA/LMK by providing specific and targeted support to more than 20,128 farmers and stockbreeders, 1,500 of whom are specifically targeted by infrastructure rehabilitation and training activities that would enable them to cope with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent negative fallout from the war in Ukraine.  The  activities  proposed  for  the  grant to  Senegal will  contribute  to  the overall development  objective  of PASA/LMK,  namely “contribute  to  food  security  and  increase  the income  of  small  producers  in  the  project impactareas”.  They will strengthen components  A and  B  of  the  current  project, devoted to  the  development and  enhancement  of  various  agro-pastoral infrastructure. The expected results of the C19 PASA/LMK project will help mitigate the  impacts  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic and  build climate  resilienceby (i) reducing climate risks  through water and  climate  resilient  seeds/inputs control  (ii) increasing agro-sylvo-pastoral  production  and  income  through support forthe development  of  value  chains  in  the targeted sectors  (iii) improving access to storage, conservation and processing infrastructure  (iv)  promoting employment  and  entrepreneurship  among  young  people  and  women  and  (v) building the  capacities  of  stakeholders  (central  and  decentralised  technical  services,  local authorities, farmers' organisations, private sector, etc.)  The project area is the same as that of PASA/LMK, which covers three administrative regions located in the Centre/North of Senegal (Louga, Matam and Kaffrine), representing one third of the national  territory  and  comprising  10  departments  and  83  communes. The area has  a population of approximately 1,960,000. This area was selected because of its poverty (incidence of between 45.2% and 63.8%) and recurrent food insecurity (global acute malnutrition rate of between 11 and 14% at end-2011). The priority targets of the project are small-scale producers (men and  women)  residing  in  the  three  programme  intervention  regions.  The project’s beneficiaries will  be  not  only  the  families  of  producers  and  breeders  directly  affected  by  the activities  promoted  to  increase  production,  but  also  the inhabitants of  neighbouring  villages whose living conditions will improve thanks to greater availability of food, the opening up of access  to the  area and  the  multiplication  of  drinking  water  supply  points. It  is  estimated  that 20,128  people  will benefit directly  from  the effects  of the  entire PASA/LMK programme, including  the supplementary funding, and  approximately 400,000  people  will  be  indirectly impacted,  of whom approximately  200,000  will  benefit  from  the  impact  of  the rural  road development component.

Senegal - Resources Mobilization and Reforms Effectiveness Support Program Phase III. PAMRER is a programme-based series of three (3) consecutive General Budget Support (GBS) operations initially covering the 2019, 2020 and 2021 fiscal years. The programme seeks to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation and strategic reform management to attract private investment to Senegal. Following the satisfactory implementation of the first phase in 2019, the second phase was approved in 2021, with a one-year delay, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank and the Government agreed to implement an Emergency COVID-19 Response Support Programme (PUARC) in 2020. Therefore, PAMRER II was implemented in 2021, after the satisfactory implementation of PUARC. Some adjustments have been made to the programme to better align it with the post-COVID recovery objectives set out in the Adjusted and Accelerated Priority Action Plan 2 (PAP2A 2019-2023) adopted by the Government in 2021 to support strong and inclusive growth driven by the private sector. The adjustments made to PAMRER focused on additional measures to support the country's industrialisation by promoting import substitution and public-private partnerships. The selected measures include the establishment of a governance framework for implementing an industrial policy, the signing of decrees on procedures for establishing pharmaceutical companies, and the adoption of a new PPP law. It should be noted that PAMRER implementation is also supported by the Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Investment Attractiveness Institutional Support Project (PAIMRAI).  PAMRER  III seeks to  consolidate  and build  on the  objectives  of  PAMRER  II,  namely strengthen  the domestic  resource mobilisation  and  promote  strategic  reforms  to improve  the attractiveness of investment. The components of PAMRER III will be the same as those of PAMRER II, namely: (i) Component 1: Domestic resource mobilisation and broadening of the tax base  (ii) Component 2: Support for recovery trough the implementation of strategic reforms and projects to improve the attractiveness of investments.  The  direct programme beneficiary  is  the Government  of Senegal.  However,  the entire programme  will  benefit  the whole population.  A  better-adapted  tax  policy  should  increase  the Government's  resources  and help  to finance  public  services,  thereby improving the  living conditions of the population. A more efficient tax administration should reduce transaction costs for taxpaying individuals  and  companies.  Finally,  the  implementation  of PSE/PAP2A strategic reforms  and  projects  should  help  to  attract  investments  and create jobs against  the  backdrop  of post-COVID  recovery. The measures to promote the  development  of  the private  sector and industry are in keeping with the renewal of Senegal's industrial policy.

Senegal - The Dakar-Tivaouane-Saint-Louis Highway Construction Project. The Dakar-Tivaouane-St. Louis Highway Project addresses the challenges of territorial connectivity and development of economic, mining, tourism and agricultural potential. This project appears in the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE)’s Adjusted and Accelerated Priority Action Plan (PAP 2A 2019-2023), the reference framework for the country's economic and social policy over the mid- and long-term and is also aligned with the operations of Senegal’s technical and financial partners. It will be implemented over five (5) years and is structured around the following three (3) components: (i) Highway construction, including road structures, (ii) Integrated Facilities and Measures, (iii) Project Institutional Support and Management. The total project cost, including physical and financial contingencies, is estimated at UA 904.25 million, i.e., EUR 1139.24 million.  The project’s strategic objective is to improve territorial connectivity, accessibility, road safety and security and living conditions in PDAI and contribute to economic and tourism development as well as the development of oil and gas resources available in the project area. It will also help to meet the population’s needs by expanding trade between Senegal, North Africa and ECOWAS. 14. More specifically, the project aims to (i) improve levels of service on road links between Dakar and Saint-Louis  (ii) facilitate access in the project’s direct area of influence  (iii) reduce road accidents in the project direct area of influence (PDAI)  and (iv) improve the living conditions of people living in the PDAI.  The main areas served which constitute the Project Direct Area of Influence (PDAI) are the regions of Dakar and Thiès, the Departments of Saint-Louis, Kébémer and Louga. The PDAI covers an area of 17,501 km2, i.e. 8.89% of the total area of Senegal and, according to estimates, had about 6,931,821 inhabitants in 2019, i.e. 42.76% of Senegal’s population. The proportion of women is 50.21%.

Senegal - Digital Technology Park - Additional Financing. The proposed operation is an AfDB loan of a EUR 5.01 million for the additional financing of the Digital Technologies Park (DTP) project in Diamniadio, on the outskirts of Dakar, Senegal. The DTP is a flagship operation of the Emerging Senegal Plan (ESP) that will provide the country with a world-class platform for the development of the digital economy. The additional funding is justified by the COVID-19 crisis that hit the country between 2020 and 2022, causing a delay in the construction of infrastructure (towers for digital businesses, digital services buildings and the data centre) and a price surge driven by a global inflation that raised the cost of construction materials and a disruption in the country’s supply chain. Public investments in the Park will include: a data centre  business-process outsourcing facilities  an information and communications technologies (ICT) business incubator  and training, research and audiovisual & content production centres.  The development objective of the project is to contribute to economic diversification and modernization, private sector development and the promotion of inclusive growth in Senegal through ICT sector development. Its specific objectives are to: (i) establish a world class infrastructure (digital technology park) that will transform Senegal into a hub for ICT sector investments and business process outsourcing  (ii) facilitate the creation of ICT sector jobs  and (iii) promote innovation in ICTs and applications that contribute to social and economic development in Senegal and West Africa.  The project site is in Diamniadio, a commune undergoing rapid urbanization and located approximately 35 km from Dakar. Since 2000, the Commune’s population has grown to approximately 1,414,711 inhabitants  of which 52% are male and 48% female. The project will therefore provide job opportunities to the rapidly growing population of the Commune. The immediate target populations are (i) communication services operators, (ii) Internet services providers, (iii) multinationals, and (iv) the 30,000 men and women currently operating in various ICT domains, including sales, networking, systems design as well as software and content development. Other expected beneficiaries are the youth, women and entrepreneurs in search of employment and better skills  as well as government agencies that will benefit from innovative solutions to improve public service delivery.

Senegal - National Integrated Livestock Development Programme - Phase 1 (PNDIES-P1). The National Integrated Livestock Development Programme in Senegal -Phase 1 (PNDIES-P1) catalyses other operations being implemented by the Bank (Agro-Industrial Processing Zones, PZTA/Agropoles, PROVALE CV) and other Technical and Financial Partners including World Bank (PRAPS project), IsDB (PDEPS-SN project) and IFAD (PADAER 2 Project). Specifically, the project will identify and implement the necessary synergies with projects in the agro-industrial processing zones, particularly the PZTA-North, whose livestock sector will be given priority. The operating strategy of PNDIES-P1 is based on increasing the numerical (quantitative) productivity and weight yields of herds and flocks which will be reflected in higher levels of production that will strengthen the targeted value chains including the processing of, and market access for animal products. PNDIES-P1 is organised around the following three components: (i) Productivity and animal production  (ii) processing, marketing of animal products and professionalisation of actors  and (iii) project coordination and management. The total project cost is estimated at EUR 78.60 million (XOF 51.56 billion), net of taxes and customs duties.  The PNDIES-P1 sector objective is to contribute to the development of competitive, climate-resilient and job-creating value chains for youth and women. This objective is broken down into 3 specific objectives: (i) Sustainably increase productivity and animal production  (ii) Improve animal product processing and marketing  and (iii) improve actors’ professionalisation.  The project areas of intervention are the Diourbel, Louga, Kaolack, Kolda, Dakar, Thiès, Fatick, Kaffrine, Sédhiou and Ziguinchor regions. The interventions will take into account the meat, milk and honey value chains. The project’s direct beneficiaries will be 32,000 value chain actors including 16,000 women and youth. There are approximately 950,000 indirect beneficiaries including 51% of women.The project’s main beneficiaries are (i) stock breeders in five subsectors: cattle, sheep, poultry and pig, (ii) meat wholesalers, (iii) professional livestock organisations, (iv) SMEs/SMIs in the livestock, processing and distribution sector, focused on those owned and managed by women as well as youth (female and male), and (v) public livestock services.

Senegal - North Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project - SAPZ-Nord Or Agropole-Nord. The operation for the Projet de Zone de Transformation Agro-industrielle du Nord (PZTA-Nord or Agropole-Nord) consists of a syndication in which the Bank's participation amounts to 86.89 million euros (30.7%) out of a total cost of 283.05 million euros. This intervention aims to develop and modernize the agricultural economy in the North zone by accelerating the industrial transformation of products from the main Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral and Halieutic (ASPH) value chains, which have real potential in terms of import substitution (rice, corn, farmed fish, milk, onions, tomatoes, meat, wheat) and export (gum arabic, onions, hides and skins, etc.), while occupying a significant number of households. By setting up an integrated ecosystem of infrastructures and services along the production, processing, and marketing chains for processed products, the Northern Agropolis will gradually ensure the capture of added value and the generation of additional income for households in the area.  The main objective of the project is to improve industrial processing capacities for agro-sylvo-pastoral and halieutic (ASPH) products and related services, and to sustainably increase household incomes and food security in the Northern Agropole. The specific objectives are: i) to encourage the processing of ASPH products by setting up agro-industrial parks and promoting private investment, and ii) to boost the production and productivity of agro-industrial sectors, wealth creation and community resilience in the face of climate change.  The project will target ASPH farmers and the private sector (including SMEs) likely to invest in logistics, agricultural product processing and services. It will directly generate around 129,500 direct jobs in the targeted ASPH sectors, and 208,800 indirect jobs in related services, which will see their incomes increase and their access to food and nutritional security improved.

SENEGAL - Resource Mobilisation and Industrial Development Support Programme, Phase I (PAMRDI-I). PAMRDI-I is the first phase of a series of two programme-based budget support operations, covering fiscal years 2023 and 2024, with an indicative overall financing package of EUR 149 million (equivalent to UA 120 million). It presents the programme's multi-annual framework, with a list of reforms considered to be the indicative triggers for the second phase (PAMRDI II). The programme will help to achieve the following objectives: (i) an increase in the number of economic operators in the informal sector with entrepreneur status (from 0 in 2022 to 30,000 in 2024, of whom 30% are women)  (ii) an increase in the share of the manufacturing sector in GDP (from 15.6% in 2021 to 17.6% in 2024)  and an increase in the share of the manufacturing sector in the added value of industry (88.7% in 2021 to 89.3% in 2024). PAMRDI is a programme-based general budget support operation in two phases. The programme has two complementary components: (i) Component 1 - Mobilise domestic resources and broaden the tax base  (ii) Component 2 - Support economic resilience by implementing reforms to speed up industrial development.  The overall objective of the programme is to consolidate and scale up the outcomes of the Bank's previous and current support, that is, to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation and promote strategic reforms to attract private investment with a view to industrial development in Senegal. The programme has five specific objectives that are to (i) broaden the tax base  (ii) improve efficiency in the control and collection of taxes  (iii) make the country more attractive to private investment  (iv) promote the private sector and its formalisation  (v) and strengthen industrial competitiveness.  The direct beneficiary of PAMRDI-I is the Government of Senegal, although it will benefit the entire Senegalese population. The programme will help to improve the country's macroeconomic and financial framework by increasing the mobilisation of domestic resources, which will rise from 17.9% of GDP in 2022 to 19.4% in 2024. In fact, a more efficient tax administration, thanks to digitisation, should reduce transaction costs for individuals and companies filing tax returns.

Senegal - Dakar stormwater management project. This operation concerns studies for the preparation of an investment operation within the framework of the second phase of the Rainwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project (PROGEP II) in Dakar. The operation is a contribution by the AfDB to support the Government of Senegal in financing programmes to combat flooding, adapt to climate change and improve sanitation in general. The project is consistent with the Bank Group's urban development and water resources management strategy. The PPF advance is the most appropriate financing instrument for the application, as it ensures good quality at the project's outset and ensures that the risks and impacts are well understood and that the mitigation measures to be implemented are identified and their cost assessed. The main deliverables for each zone are: (i) an APS report, including any additional modelling, and an APD report with plans and appendices  (ii) tender documents (DAO) for the works  (iii) specific ESIA, RAP and E&S audit tools if necessary for the investments selected  and for both zones (iv) an audit report. It is structured into two components. The first component is entitled Detailed technical, environmental and social studies. It includes: (i) detailed technical studies and (ii) environmental and social studies of the areas identified for the implementation of the Investment Project. The second component relates to institutional support and project management. It includes support for the operation of the executing agency through: (i) helping to pay for the Project Management Unit's staff and management costs  (ii) paying for document validation workshops and the organisation of the round table  and (iii) auditing the accounts.  The objective of the project is to reduce the risk of flooding in the peri-urban areas of Dakar and to improve the capacity for planning and implementing sustainable urban management practices, in particular resilience to climate change, in the selected towns in Senegal. The specific objectives are: (i) integrated urban planning and management that takes account of climate risks and sustainability  (ii) investment in the construction of works, drainage infrastructure and community projects  (iii) to strengthen climate resilience and ensure sustainable management by pumping and maintaining drainage works and infrastructure.  The operation will benefit the Government of Senegal and stakeholders in the sector.

Central African Republic - Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities - Phase 1. The present intervention concerns the Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities - Phase 1. This phase 1 of this programme mainly targets two of the country's 7 regions, notably regions n°7 (capital Bangui) and n°1 (Prefecture of Ombella Mpoko and Lobaye). PARCB-1 thus responds to the urgent needs of a population whose living conditions are precarious, torn apart by hatred and inter-community conflicts. The programme's activities consist in the rehabilitation and equipment of 06 schools, 10 health facilities, 12 vocational training centres, JPN Training and Self-Employment Learning Centres (SICA II and Nzila), the premises of the Central African Women Lawyers' Association, the establishment of 10 multifunctional platforms, the development of water and sanitation infrastructure on agricultural sites and schools and health facilities, the development of agricultural and market gardening sites, the training of farmers, the training and retraining of health and education personnel, and community awareness raising on social cohesion. The programme comprises three (3) main components, namely: (i) restoration of social services and social cohesion  (ii) support for the economic resilience of the affected communities and (iii) overall programme coordination.  The sector goal of the programme is to help reinforce the sustainable livelihoods of communities affected by the political and military crisis and to promote social cohesion. Specifically, the project seeks to: (i) consolidate school and health infrastructure and thereby build the capacity of social services  (ii) promote food security and the income-generating activities of vulnerable groups, as well as ensure the socio-economic reconversion/reintegration of youths  and (iii) contribute to the reinforcement of social cohesion.  The project will benefit at least 500,000 persons directly and 1,528,985 persons indirectly, representing 32% of the CAR population. It will promote the socio-economic reintegration of communities settled in the project area (PA), facilitate access to social services, and ensure the socioprofession reintegration of over 500,000 unemployed and out-of-school youths targeted by the activities of the High Commission for National Pioneer Youth. Approximately 15,000 youths in school (including 30% girls) will be able to get access to good quality vocational training and technical education under the programme. Furthermore, the programme will promote the empowerment of 600 female vegetable vendors, and approximately 3000 women involved in the conservation, processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products. The direct beneficiaries will be closely involved in the programme implementation through their direct contribution to certain works and will attend monitoring-evaluation meetings. The federation of CAR NGOs and representatives of women's associations are statutory members of the Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee.

Central African Republic - Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE). The present intervention is related to the Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE). It was conceived because for almost ten years, the Central African Republic (CAR) experienced recurring politico-military conflicts that had a devastating effect on the country's socio-economic situation and contributed to: (i) loss of life and displacement of populations  (ii) the destruction of social and economic infrastructures  and (iii) the deterioration of socio-economic indicators. The PARE aims to support the implementation of the reforms contained in the Framework Document for Economic and Social Policy (DCPES) and thus contribute to the Government's efforts to improve the governance and efficiency of the State, to revive the economy of the CAR and lay the foundation for sustained economic growth. It should also support the anti-poverty strategy. The program is structured around two components: (i) improving and strengthening public financial management and  ii) strengthening good governance.  The PARE aims to support the Government's efforts in implementing the measures contained in the Development Policy Letter and more particularly in the implementation of reforms aimed at increasing the efficiency of poverty alleviation expenditures, support for improving the business climate and developing the private sector and strengthening good governance.  The programme should benefit the entire Central African population.

Central African Republic - Grant to assist in the financing of the Second Phase of the Economic Reform Support Program (ERSP-II). The present intervention on the second phase of the Economic Reform Support Programme (PARE-II) is a balance of payments support to the Central African Republic (CAR). It's an extension of PARE I and proposes to reinforce his achievements. PARE II aims to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the CAR's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) in terms of growth and poverty reduction. In addition, the reforms supported by PARE II will contribute to consolidate growth, mitigate inflationary pressures, improve the mobilization of the State's own resources, and strengthen the deleveraging of CAR. In addition, the program is expected to help the country cope with the effects of the global food crisis. It has two components, namely: (i) contribute to the improvement of public finance management  and (ii) consolidate economic governance in the public sector.  The purpose of PARE II is to contribute to the achievement of CAR's PRSP objectives in terms of growth and poverty reduction. It specific objective is to support the Government's reform agenda in the areas of strengthening public financial management, and improving economic governance at the public sector level.  The program should benefit all Central African populations through its contribution to achieving the PRSP objectives in terms of growth and poverty reduction. The direct beneficiaries of the programme are the sectoral ministries (MEPCI, Ministry of Finance and Budget, Ministry of Mines and Energy, Ministry of Forest and Wildlife, etc.), the Ministry of Rural Development, agricultural producers, the structures responsible good governance and the fight against corruption, and the private sector.

Central African Republic - Project to Build Economic and Financial Management Capacity (PARCGEF). PARCGEF is an institution building project to build economic and financial management capacity in CAR.

Central African Republic - Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme (PUASCRE). The proposed operation concerns an ADF grant of UA 2.3 million and an FSF (Pillar I) Grant of UA 12.7 million to finance an Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme (PUASCRE). This is an emergency budget support operation in response to the urgent needs of the Central African population now faced with an unprecedented humanitarian crisis following the military coup perpetrated in March 2013 by an armed rebellion that overthrew the regime in power for ten years. It is in keeping with the joint effort announced by the international community at the Brussels Conference in February 2014 to help the new transitional authorities to restore the normal functioning of public administration, mitigate the socio-economic impact of the crisis on the population and foster economic recovery. The aim of the proposed programme is to support this inclusive dialogue initiated by the authorities by contributing to the return to normal functioning of institutions and the recovery of economic activities. The Programme is in keeping with the priorities of the Government’s Roadmap and the Bank’s Interim Assistance Paper for the 2014-2016 period. PUASCRE will also provide assistance for the redeployment of civil servants and rehabilitation of their working tools. Furthermore, it will help the authorities to lay the foundations for the recovery of economic activities by supporting the resumption of private sector/government dialogue as well as measures aimed at helping enterprises to renew their production tools destroyed by the crisis. The programme comprises two components: (i) restoration of the functioning of the financial administrations and basic social services  and (ii) creation of the conditions necessary to ensure economic recovery. PUASCRE will be implemented over a 15-month period. It is linked to the ongoing Economic and Financial Management Capacity Building Support Project (PARCGEF), which has been restructured accordingly.  The overall goal of PUASCRE is to contribute to the rebuilding of central government capacity to provide basic social services and to create the necessary conditions for the rapid recovery of economic activities. The programme’s main expected outcomes are: (i) a reduction in the number of vulnerable people  (ii) recovery of economic growth  (iii) the redeployment of at least 60% of civil servants following the resumption of regular salary payments  and (iv) a reduction in central government debt owed to suppliers in order to facilitate the recovery of private sector activities required for the reintegration of ex-combatants into active life.  In general, programme beneficiaries are the population of the Central African Republic as a whole, i.e. about 4.3 million inhabitants and, in particular, people displaced by the conflict. More specifically, these are people living in precarity due to the absence of basic public services in the affected areas and the congestion of public services in the reception areas. The main beneficiary structures comprise the school network, public health services and generally, the public administration which must resume normal functioning.

Central African Republic - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme. The Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme (PAREF) is an extension of the Emergency Support Programme for Emerging from the Crisis and Economic Recovery (PUASCRE). PUASCRE has supported the transitional government in restoring the capacities of the financial and social administrations. The PAREF will take the form of a Programmatic Support Operation (PSO) covering the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years. It incorporates more structuring measures to help relaunch the economy and improve public finance management. The Programme will have an impact on the country's economic growth and social situation. The programme will contribute to (i) improving tax collection  (ii) improving transparency and the budget execution rate, especially in the social sectors and  (iii) consolidating economic growth through an improvement of the business climate and governance in productive sectors (agriculture, forestry and mining). The programme will have two components, namely (1) Improvement of tax revenue mobilisation and public expenditure management and (2) Improvement of the business environment and governance in productive sectors. The two components are complementary and help revive economic growth in CAR. Tax revenue mobilisation and improved public finance management will enable government to gradually create the fiscal space to support economic recovery.  PAREF’s goal is to contribute to the improvement of public financial management and the revival of economic growth. It seeks to consolidate the improvement of public finance management and support the revival of productive sectors.  The final beneficiaries of the Program are the same as those of the previous Programme. They are the Central African populations as a whole, i.e. nearly 4.9 million inhabitants, and in particular the vulnerable populations. The programme will directly benefit the Government by helping to close the financing gap.

Central African Republic - Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme – Phase 2. The proposed operation concerns an ADF grant of UA 5.00 million and a TSF grant of UA 2.36 million to finance the second phase of the Emergency Post-Crisis and Economic Recovery Support Programme (PUASCRE-2). It involves supplementary financing of the emergency budget support operation that the Bank granted to the Central African Republic in June 2014, to help address the serious humanitarian crisis caused by the March 2013 military coup perpetrated by an armed rebellion that toppled the decade-old regime. This supplementary support is a follow-up to the international community’s joint effort to help the transition authorities mitigate the socio-economic impact of the crisis on the population, foster economic recovery and restore public institutions through peaceful, inclusive general elections. Like the previous support operation, PUASCRE-2 will mainly focus on short-term measures to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. However, some policy measures will be included in the programme to prepare the country for more structuring reforms once it exits the crisis. PUASCRE has two main components: (i) improvement of public finance management and supply of basic social services  and (ii) improvement of conditions for the revival of economic activities. These two complementary components contribute to the programme goal of restoring the normal functioning of government services and creating necessary conditions for economic recovery.  In continuation of the preceding programme, the general objective of PUASCRE-2 is to help restore the normal functioning of Government services and create necessary conditions for economic recovery. The programme objective is to consolidate the achievements of PUASCRE-1 and prepare the country for measures with a deeper impact on economic recovery and job creation at the end of the transition.  The programme’s end beneficiaries are the same as those of the previous programme. These are the population of the Central African Republic as a whole, or close to 4.3 million people and the vulnerable populations in particular. The programme will directly benefit the Government by helping to close the financing gap.

Central African Republic - First Sector Sub-Programme for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Bangui and Surrounding Rural Areas - Additional Project in Mambéré-Kadéï, Nana-Mambéré and Ouham Prefectures. The proposed Project is complementary to the first Sectoral Sub-Programme on Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation (PSEPA) of the Central African Republic, initially adopted in 2012, then restructured following the crisis that occurred in March 2013. The interventions concerned by this Additional Project are in continuity with the first sub-programme and go beyond the urban area. They are structured around three components: (i) Capacity building (logistics, training and consultants) of the ANEA, DGH, PSEPA and DGEES branches, as well as those of local actors and beneficiaries, particularly in training, awareness-raising and small trades  (ii) Development of drinking water and sanitation infrastructures  and (iii) Management of the additional project. The targeted areas are: Mambéré Kadéï, Nana Mambéré and Ouham, three prefectures with extreme poverty levels.  The objective of the project is to improve the Quality of Life of the rural populations of Mambéré-Kadéï, Nana-Mambéré and Ouham, through better access to drinking water, sanitation services and small businesses (craftsmen, repairers, quarry operators, rural trail planners, masons, etc.). Specifically, the implementation of the Additional Project will make it possible to: (i) from a current drinking water access rate of 12% to over 22.5% in Mambéré Kadéï  from 14% to 22.5% in Nana Mambéré  and from 36% to 51.5% in Ouham prefecture in 2019  and (ii) the very significant increase in the sanitation access rate from 1.7% in 2012 to 10% in 2019.  The beneficiaries of the intervention are: the rural populations of Mambéré-Kadéï, Nana-Mambéré and Ouham.

Central African Republic - Economic And Financial Reforms Support Programme (PAREF) - Phase II. The proposed operation is the second phase of the Economic and Financial Reform Support Program, Phase II (PAREF-II). It intervenes in a context of standardization of the country's institutions, with the adoption of a new constitution in December 2015 and the election of a new president in February 2016. The Program is part of the continuation of the measures supported by the two CARs that accompanied the Transitional Government in restoring the capacity of financial and social administrations. PAREF-II will include more structural measures to help revive the economy and improve public finance management. It is expected that the program's measures will be implemented: (i) an increase in tax revenues from 7.1% of GDP in 2015 to 8.7% of GDP in 2018  (ii) a reduction in direct contract procurement from 90% in 2015 to less than 50% in 2018  (iii) a reduction in the number of days for business creation, from an average of 22 days in 2015 to an average of less than 14 days in 2018  and (iv) lowering the cost of starting businesses from 204 percent of per capita income in 2015 to less than 150 percent of per capita income in 2018. The total cost of the program is estimated at UA 7 million for a planned execution period from December 22, 2017 to December 31, 2018. The Program has two components: (i) Component 1: Improved tax revenue mobilization and public expenditure management  (ii) Component 2: Improving the business environment and governance of the productive sectors. The two components are complementary. The mobilization of tax revenues and the improvement of public expenditure management will enable the Government to progressively release fiscal space to consolidate the recovery of the economy.  The goal of PAREF is to contribute to the improvement of the management of public finances and the revival of economic growth. The program aims to have a positive impact on the country's economic growth and social situation. It will contribute to: (i) improve tax revenue collection  (ii) improve transparency and the rate of budget execution, particularly in the social sectors  and (iii) consolidate economic growth by improving the business climate and governance in the productive sectors (agriculture, forestry and mining).  The direct beneficiaries of the Program are the public administrations and structures in charge of the reforms supported by the Program. The final beneficiaries are the Central African populations.

Central African Republic - Supplementary Grant to the Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities. The Supplementary Grant to the Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities, Phase 1 (PARCB-1) is a multi-sector and integrated investment financed by a 14-cycle TSF grant and an RWSSI grant. It contributes to the implementation of the National Peace Recovery and Consolidation Plan (RCPCA). The Support Programme for the Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities (PARCB) was designed for implementation in several phases and in various localities of the Central African Republic (CAR) as they became more accessible from the security standpoint. The approved Phase I (PARCB1) covers mainly Bangui and its environs. Pending completion of Phase II, it has become absolutely necessary to consolidate and strengthen Phase I, where possible. Accordingly, The supplementary project to PARCB-1, which forms the subject of this support, is indeed an extension of PARCB-1 to other localities. While the Phase1 focuses on Bangui and its environs, the new areas targeted by this extension are the centre of Bambari and its environs. This Supplementary phasis is based on the following components and subcomponents: (A) Support for the development of socio-economic infrastructure to support social inclusion  (B) Support for institutional capacity building in basic social sectors  and (C) Support for programme coordination and management. The programme’s completion is set for 31 December 2019.  The sector goal of the Supplementary Grant to PARCB-1 is to contribute to strengthening the sustainable livelihoods of the population affected by the political and military crisis and promoting social cohesion. Specifically, the programme seeks to: (i) consolidate PARCB-1’s achievements in Bangui and its environs, notably the operationalization of the Bogoura and Nzila youth entrepreneurship promotion centres and hemodialysis and scan centres, and the strengthening of food security by constructing a cattle market  (ii) ensure the socio-professional integration/reintegration of youths and women in Bambari by creating cooperative enterprises in the productive sectors that can contribute to food resilience, economic growth and social cohesion  and (iii) strengthen social infrastructure to improve the supply of basic social services in Bambari (health, education, water and sanitation).  The project will contribute to strengthening sustainable livelihoods and social cohesion for the direct benefit of a population of about 123,150 inhabitants in Bambari and its environs, including 52% of women and 61% of mostly unemployed and out-of-school youths. These efforts will supplement those already made by PARCB-1, which benefits 500,000 people directly and 1,528,985 people indirectly (representing 32% of the CAR population), including 500,000 unemployed and out-of-school youths in Bangui and its environs.

Central African Republic - The Bangui Mpoko Airport Modernisation Support Programme (PAMAB). The Bangui Mpoko Airport Modernisation Support Programme (PAMAB) is justified as a bid to support Central African Republic (CAR) by adopting a gradual approach for implementation of the air transport sector modernisation plan by: (i) upgrading air transport facilities and services at Bangui/Mpoko International Airport  (ii) improving airport security and safety and building the platform’s security/safety capacities. Indeed, Bangui Airport no longer meets the operational requirements of a modern international airport, particularly in terms of security, safety, available surface area, arrival capacity, passenger processing, baggage delivery times, facilitation, amenities offered to operators and congestion of the aircraft parking area. PAMAB is urgently needed by CAR in this context of non-compliance and shortcomings in airport security and safety as recalled above. Its implementation will contribute to a significant improvement in air transport subsector performance in CAR and enhancement of the country’s civil aviation image. It will also contribute to launching air cargo export activities that will expand with the development of high-potential, job-creating agricultural subsectors. The project will be implemented in two phases: (i) phase 1 consisting in the partial upgrading of the air terminal (ii) phase 2 concerning: i) the supply and installation of conveyance and safety equipment additional rehabilitation work on the terminal and ii) capacity building of the Civil Aviation Administration, as part of institutional support to the subsector. The estimated cost of Phase I, the subject of this project, is estimated at 1.118 million units of account. The Project, thus limited to Phase I of the operation, will be financed entirely by the Bank through a grant of one million Units of Account, from the resources of Pillar I of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) and an ADF grant of 0.118 million Units of Account from cancellations.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to the improvement of air transport security and safety in CAR. The project’s sector goal is to consolidate the role of air transport in serving CAR through secure, safe, efficient and high-quality airport services in compliance with international standards. PAMAB, under phase I, which is the subject of this Project, builds has two components bearing on: (i) airport facilitation and security and consisting in the refurbishment of the upper floor of the Bangui/Mpoko International Airport terminal building and (ii) project management and monitoring. Phase I of the Project is, therefore, limited to the refurbishment of the upper floor of the terminal building in the departure zone, as part of airport facilitation and security activities.  The project’s main beneficiaries are: (i) CAR’s population  (ii) airlines which will benefit from lower operating costs  (iii) air travellers who will benefit from new airline destinations, greater comfort, more regularity and enhanced flight security  (iv) the industrial, commercial and mining companies as well as services to which new opportunities will be provided at the airport  and (v) Agency for the Safety of Air Navigation in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) as the airport administrator and (vi) National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).

Central African Republic - Capacity Building Project for the Administration and Non-State Actors (PRECANE). This intervention is related to the Administration and Non-State Actors Capacity Building Project (PRECANE). It was designed by the Government of the Central African Republic with the support of the African Development Bank Group. The project is structured around three (3) components, namely (i) support for the strategic planning process  (ii) revitalization of non-state actors  (iii) coordination of CEP and monitoring and evaluation of project activities.  The PRECANE aims to: (i) provide various forms of support to certain administrative structures in the form of training, advisory support, workshops, seminars, and the development of work tools, etc. with a view to strengthening their capacities  (ii) support institutions that support the private sector by drawing on best practices adapted to the specific needs of companies  and (iii) technically and materially support and provide support to civil society organizations (CSOs), including peacebuilding structures, key actors working for grassroots development as well as those implementing peacebuilding and social cohesion actions at the community level.  The project will benefit the Administration and Non-State Actors.

Central African Republic - Bangui M’poko International Airport Modernisation Support Project – Phase II (PAMAB II). The proposed operation is a Transition Support Fund (TSF) grant of UA 8 million to the Central African Republic to finance the Bangui M’Poko Airport Modernisation Support Project – Phase II (PAMAB-II). Successive audits by International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), Agency for the Supervision of Air Safety in Central Africa (ASSA-AC), the French Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and Airports Council International (ACI) have shown that the Bangui M'Poko airport infrastructure no longer meets the operational needs of a modern international airport especially in terms of space availability, passenger handling, luggage delivery time, facilitation, operator facilities and aircraft parking aprons. The Bank's operation under the PAMAB programme is intended to contribute to developing and modernising aeronautical infrastructure in CAR by upgrading air transport facilities and services at the Bangui/M’Poko international airport. It will be recalled that due to lack of resources in 2019, the project was divided into two phases: (i) Phase 1 consisted in the partial development of the terminal with a UA 1.21 million TSF financing approved in November 2019  and (ii) Phase 2 to complement the first phase and the subject of this operation, structured around airport security, facilitation and signage activities. It will also involve developing an air transport policy paper for CAR. Phase 2 is estimated to cost UA 9.90 million. Implementing PAMAB over the 2020-2023 period will substantially improve the performance of CAR’s air transport sub-sector and the country's profile in civil aviation. Phase II of this project is structured around four (4) components: (i) airport safety and operations  (ii) airport facilitation, signage and security  (iii) support to the air transport sector  and (iv) project management and coordination. Its implementation will help to adjust the airport's capacity to the traffic level and user expectations. Specifically, in the freight zone, it will eventually lead to the inception of air export business that is expected to increase with the development of high-potential and job-generating agricultural sectors.  The project's overall objective is to contribute to the improvement of air transport safety and security in Central African Republic (CAR). Its sector objective is to consolidate the role of air transport in serving CAR through safe, secure, efficient and quality airport services in line with international standards. The Bank's intervention under PAMAB-II (supplementing PAMAB-I) aims to support CAR to (i) upgrade air transport facilities and services at Bangui/M’Poko International Airport to the required safety and security standards  and (ii) improve the airport platform’s service level.  The project's principal beneficiaries include (i) the people of Central African Republic (CAR)  (ii) airlines through reduced operating costs  (iii) air transport passengers who will benefit from new air services, greater comfort, regularity and enhanced flight safety  (iv) industrial, commercial and mining companies and services that will be offered new opportunities within the airport  (v) Agency for the Safety of Air Navigation in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) as the airport manager  and (vi) National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).

Central African Republic - Support project for the national civil aviation authority (ANAC). This intervention relates to the Support Project for the National Civil Aviation Authority. It was designed to remedy the dysfunctions and relaunch Central African air transport. The main expected results of this project are: (i) Regulations, procedure manuals and other indicative elements are available in safety and security  (ii) ANAC is organised in accordance with ICAO standards and recommended practices  (iii) ANAC-RCA technical staff are trained  (iv) Bangui International Airport is certified  (iv) the quality of Bangui/Mpoko airport services (passenger check-in, police, customs and sanitary controls) are improved. The intervention includes the following three components: (i) support for capacity building of ANAC-RCA, (ii) support for the improvement of airport service delivery capacities, (iii) coordination and monitoring-evaluation of project activities.  The main objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the competitiveness of the Central African economy through the development of air transport. Specifically, the project aims to (i) Strengthen the technical and administrative capacities of ANAC-RCA and (ii) Improve the quality and capacity of airport services related to passenger check-in, police and customs control and sanitary control.  The project benefits the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) - CAR, the Central African authorities and ultimately the passengers.

Central African Republic - Project to Interconnect Power Grids from the Boali Hydropower System Phase I: CAR Component- Supplementary Grant. The proposed operation is a supplementary grant of UA 2.51 million to finance the Central African Republic (CAR) component of the Project to Interconnect the Power Grids of CAR and DRC from the Boali Hydro-power System. In September 2012, the ADF approved a grant of UA 29.73 million to the Central African Republic (CAR) to finance the BOALI Phase I Project (interconnection of the CAR and DRC power grids from the Boali hydropower system). The goods procurement process -i) Rehabilitation and extension of Boali 2 plants  -ii) Rehabilitation of the transmission network  and -iii) Rehabilitation and extension of the distribution network) revealed that the cost of the winning bids exceeded the budget by UA 2.51 million. The reasons for this budgetary gap stem, on the one hand, from the bidders' perception of country risk and, on the other hand, from monetary inflation between the project approval date (September 2012) and the bid submission date (in 2018). Hence, following the Bank President's commitment to contribute to the financing of the crossborder project to electrify 9 provincial localities from the Mobayi power station (PETMobayi), it appeared necessary to finance the project update cost. The supplementary grant will provide additional resources to complete the infrastructure works and achieve most of the project's objectives. The project components are: (i) Rehabilitation and strengthening of generating units  (ii) Construction and strengthening of the transmission grid  (iii) Construction and strengthening of distribution grid  (iv) Project management. The total cost of the CAR component of the revised project, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 32.23 million.  The overall objective of the project is to rehabilitate and strengthen the generating units and the interconnected transmission and distribution networks to improve the power availability and access rate and reduce the extremely high cost of electricity in CAR and the DRC.  The main project beneficiaries are: (i) ENERCA and SNEL, whose generation costs will drop and whose income will increase as a result of new customers and enhanced reliability of the grid  (ii) ENERCA and SNEL’s customers, including the private sector, who will benefit from improved service quality  (iii) the inhabitants of the project area who will be employed on the project sites  and (iv) the two governments, which will collect additional tax revenue and benefit from increased productivity of the administration, thanks to improved working conditions.

Central African Republic - Covid-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Programme (PABRC). The COVID-19 Crisis Response Budget Support Program in Central African Republic (PABRC-RCA) aims to support the efforts made by the Government to control the pandemic and help to mitigate its negative economic and social impacts. PABRC-RCA is aligned with the Government’s Response Plan to combat the pandemic. It complements the Regional Program to Support Member States of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to fight the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) approved in June 2020. As at 13 July 2020, there were 4 259 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in CAR, 1 142 of which were declared ‘recovered’ and 53 deaths. The number of infections rose most rapidly in June with 2282 cases, i.e. an average of 87.8 infections per day for this month alone compared with 12.4 for the March to May period. Two thirds of the cases are due to local transmission but almost 85% of imported cases come from neighbouring Cameroon, causing tension that is affecting regional trade and integration. This situation represents a complex challenge since the Douala-Bangui corridor is vital for CAR’s trade because the country is completely landlocked. The proposed program will be financed from ADF resources allocated to the COVID-19 Rapid Response Facility (CRF). It was appraised in April 2020 following a request by the Government to the Bank in March 2020. It is an UA 4.5 million from ADF-15 and UA 6 million from TSF Pillar I budget support operation whose resources will be disbursed in a single tranche for each instrument. The measures retained under PABRC-RCA will be implemented over the 2020-2021 period and focused on the following two components: (i) protecting the labour force productivity against the outbreak threat by supporting the health response  and (ii) mitigation of the pandemic’s economic and social impacts.  The PABRC-RCA goal is to help to control the COVID-19 pandemic and contribute to the country’s economic and social recovery. Therefore, the PABRC is aligned with the strategic priorities of ADF-15 which aim to strengthen economic resilience and shock management, in particular Pillar II, which targets the improvement of the business climate, governance and human and institutional capacity. Thus, the PABRC, by protecting the RCA’s economy will contribute to ensuring the continuity of the reforms and progress noted in RCA in the various areas of engagement of ADF-15  as well as in resource mobilization and debt management.  PABRC-RCA will directly benefit infected people, households and businesses affected by COVID-19, for instance through food distribution kits and access to water supply. Overall, the program’s indirect beneficiaries will be the government of the Central African Republic through the ministries directly involved as well as Cameroonian citizens and businesses that will be protected from the rapid, continuing spread of COVID-19.

Central African Republic - Resilience, Food and Nutrition Security Support Project in Kemo and Ouaka Prefectures (PARSANKO). The Resilience, Food and Nutrition Security Support Project in the Prefectures of Kémo and Ouaka (PARSANKO) stems from the top priorities of the Central African Government’s National Recovery and Peace-building Plan (RCPCA) which seeks to revive the economy, increase rural incomes and improve the population’s food and nutrition security by enhancing agricultural and livestock production and rural productivity. The project, which is estimated to cost UA 21.38 million in total (USD 29.51 million), will be implemented over a five-year period from 2021jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Labour Office (ILO) which will respectively support agro-pastoral production and community initiatives. PARSANKO will, in synergy with the various ongoing projects financed by other TFPs, help to build on the lessons learned from an approach that promotes community initiatives to support inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector development. In this context, it will experiment, on a pilot basis: (a) new technologies for increasing productivity  (b) inclusive financing mechanisms  and (c) support for youth entrepreneurship in agricultural sub-sectors. PARSANKO comprises three components, namely: (i) Support for Agropastoral Production  (ii) Support for Community Initiatives  and (iii) Project Management. It will also contribute to mitigating the potential effects and impacts of COVID-19 in the target prefectures as well as enhancing women’s and youth empowerment. Therefore, project beneficiaries will be encouraged to widely adopt best agricultural practices through a significant increase in access to agricultural services. The intensification of beneficiaries’ agropastoral production will also be facilitated by developing or rehabilitating production infrastructure and easing access to factors of production.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to improving the living conditions and resilience of vulnerable rural populations. Its aim is to contribute to improving the food and nutrition security of rural populations in Kémo and Ouaka Prefectures. Its specific objective is to increase and diversify agro-pastoral production and improve access to basic services.  Regarding beneficiaries, the project will provide direct support to 500 women/youth enterprises and groups, particularly young, budding or established agricultural entrepreneurs. It will also provide assistance to 47 050 beneficiary households, representing 279 300 people (farmers/stockbreeders, youth/women agricultural and non-agricultural entrepreneurs) in Kémo and Ouaka Prefectures, particularly households facing a crisis and in dire need of assistance, including food (IPC3),households affected by COVID-19 through agricultural input kits and access to water, young people and women without land or livestock, families classified under IPC1&2, particularly those hosting displaced people in production basins. Indirect project beneficiaries are estimated at about 241 000 people.

Central African Republic - Project to support public-private dialogue in the Central African Republic. The proposed operation concerns a grant of UA 1 million to the Central African Republic (CAR), under Pillar III of the Transition Support Facility (TSF), for the implementation of the Public Private Dialogue Support Project (PADPP). Indeed, the country faces many challenges, including the mobilisation of sufficient resources to finance its National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan for the Central African Republic (RCPCA) and the development of the private sector to make it the main engine of the structural transformation of the economy. The justification for the PADPP also lies in the need to continue the support that the Bank has provided to CAR in the areas of governance and public finance management as well as in improving the business climate. The needs in terms of capacity building were assessed in a participatory manner with the various stakeholders and some Technical and Financial Partners (TFPs). Within the framework of the PADPP, the Bank intends to consolidate its commitment in CAR to strengthen governance in order to support increased mobilisation of domestic resources and promotion of the private sector. The PADPP is thus divided into three (3) components: (i) Capacity building for public-private dialogue  (ii) Strengthening the implementation of fiscal policy  and (iii) Project management. The project will contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the population by helping to improve the business climate (by reducing the time needed to pay taxes and increasing the formalisation of SMEs) while contributing to the efficiency of the tax policy (by reducing tax expenditure). The implementation period is thirty (30) months.  The overall objective of the intervention is to strengthen the public-private dialogue in order to improve the fiscal dimension of the business environment. This consists of contributing to the strengthening of economic resilience by enabling government structures to accompany and assist private enterprises on fiscal aspects, thus contributing to strengthening revenue mobilisation. More specifically, the project aims to support: (i) the reinforcement of skills in the area of taxation by producing specific studies on the interaction between the government and the private sector on tax issues such as the time needed to make declarations or access to public contracts  (ii) the reinforcement and facilitation of the framework for state-private sector dialogue on specific tax issues  (iii) support to tax policy on aspects such as the effectiveness of taxation of the informal sector and e-commerce, thus contributing to revenue mobilisation  (iv) an analysis of emerging financing opportunities, such as green and climate finance.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are: the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Cooperation and the Ministry of Finance. The project activities will indirectly benefit other structures such as the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, Handicrafts and the Informal Sector. Employers' structures, especially those involved in dialogue with the Government, will also be indirect beneficiaries of the project. The institutional capacities of the beneficiary structures will be strengthened, in particular through training and support, by making high-level expertise available and preparing studies and analytical work that contribute to the development of knowledge. The indirect beneficiaries of the project will be the citizens of the CAR, which should enable them to benefit from more opportunities to undertake and/or obtain employment as a result of the improved business climate.

Central African Republic - Emergency Food Production Project (PURPA). The UA 4 million Emergency Food Production Project (PURPA) in Central African Republic (CAR) is part of the Bank’s African Emergency Food Production Facility (AEFPF) in response to the food crisis and disruption of agricultural inputs resulting from the war in Ukraine. This war compounds the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the political and security situation. The project is in response to the Government's request to address the pressing needs of many vulnerable households in rural areas. It will provide them with seeds and fertilisers to boost production and improve their food security. The project will run for two years (from September 2022 to August 2024). It intends to build the capacity of the institutions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) in charge of the seed sector in CAR (Central African Institute for Agricultural Research (ICRA), Central African Agricultural Development Agency (ACDA) and National Seeds Authority (ONASEM)).  The project’s objective is to ramp up productivity and agricultural production of the corn, cassava and rice sectors. The main expected outcomes are: availability of pre-basic and basic seeds at ICRA research stations, improved access to seeds and fertilisers for 7,000 smallholders, increased yields and production, support to seed multiplier producer groups, organisation of fairs for better dissemination of improved seeds, capacity building of the key institutions involved in the seed sector (CRA, ACDA and ONASEM) and greater private sector involvement in the revival of agricultural production.  The project will have a positive impact on the food security of nearly 100,000 people with an expected production of 32,350 T in the first season from September 2022 to February 2023. It will contribute to households’ resilience and will increase incomes (up to an average of CFA 516,000 per smallholder in the target group. The project will also benefit to the institutions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) in charge of the seed sector in CAR (Central African Institute for Agricultural Research (ICRA), Central African Agricultural Development Agency (ACDA) and National Seeds Authority (ONASEM)).

Central African Republic - Project to support socio-economic inclusion, entrepreneurship and mobilization of the diaspora. This operation concerns a grant of UA1,000,000 to the Central African Republic from Pillar 3 resources of the Transition Support Facility (TSF) for the implementation of the Support Project for Socio-Economic Inclusion through Entrepreneurship and Mobilisation of the Diaspora (PAISEMD). Promoting private initiative and mobilising the diaspora are two critical levers that the Bank intends to support to boost and strengthen its impact in CAR. The Bank's support for the PAISEMD therefore lies in using these two assets to support the Central African Republic's reconstruction efforts, particularly in the areas of youth and women's entrepreneurship, the socio-economic integration of young people, improving the business climate, financial inclusion and human capital in CAR. The PAISEMD will prioritise actions aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, innovation (making the most of local initiatives in the beekeeping and dairy sectors) and digitalisation (digitising procedures for setting up businesses) and mobilising the diaspora in favour of internally displaced persons, host communities and communities of origin.  The development objective of the project is to contribute to the revival of the private sector in CAR by promoting entrepreneurship, innovation and the mobilisation of the diaspora in favour of internally displaced persons, host communities and communities of origin. The innovation dimension may involve new production techniques as well as the diversification of its by-products (use of honey in food, pharmacology and cosmetics and many other related products).  The project covers Bangui, Ouaka and Haute-Kotto. The beneficiaries are young people and women, IDPs, returnees, host communities in these areas and the diaspora. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the 200,000 inhabitants of the project areas, 48% of whom are women. In addition to these direct beneficiaries, there are indirect beneficiaries, including residents of neighbouring prefectures, local and national service providers and financial intermediaries.

Central African Republic - Support Program for the Reconstruction of Basic Communities, Phase 2 (PARCB-2). This intervention concerns the Support Program for the Reconstruction of Basic Communities, Phase 2 (PARCB-2). The programme is designed to follow up on the upstream demobilization and disarmament actions undertaken by the Government with a view to stabilizing the population, improving the incomes and living conditions of the populations affected by the politico-military crisis through the restoration of social cohesion and living together. The programme aims to strengthen the achievements of PARCB-1 and PARCB-1 Additional operations in the areas already covered and to extend it to the interior of the country on the one hand, and to promote employment and the development of entrepreneurship through agropastoral activities (poultry farming, fish farming, beekeeping, dairy production, etc.), artisanal mining and strengthening the community reintegration process on the other hand. PARCB-2 will be based on the following three (3) components: (i) Support the revival of resilient socio-economic activities, stabilisation and social cohesion  (ii) Build institutional and beneficiary capacity  and (iii) Programme management.  The sectoral objective of the second phase of the programme is to facilitate reintegration and increase access to basic socio-economic services for populations affected by the politico-military crisis.  The direct beneficiaries are the 880,000 inhabitants of the project area, 51% of whom are women. In addition to these direct beneficiaries, the indirect beneficiaries include the inhabitants of neighbouring prefectures, local and national service providers, financial intermediaries, etc. In addition to the potential beneficiaries for the social infrastructure to be upgraded as well as the direct and indirect jobs expected, the PARCB II will make it possible to train about 5000 unemployed young people aged 15 to 25 and to ensure their sustainable socio-professional reintegration.

Central African Republic - Project to support revenue mobilisation and transparency of development policies (PAMRET). The Project to support revenue mobilisation and transparency of development policies (PAMRET) is a continuation of the last institutional support programme - the Projet d'Appui au Renforcement des Capacités de Gestion Economique et Financière (PARCGEF). In addition to responding to the difficult economic situation, PAMRET targets the strengthening of institutional capacities and responds to the concerns of the Government, which is committed to pursuing macroeconomic and structural reforms, particularly in the area of public finance, in order to accelerate the country's emergence from a situation of fragility. The project is justified by the need to support the Government in its strategic planning efforts, in order to underpin the provision of basic services that can help strengthen social cohesion. The project will thus contribute to the development and consolidation of public finance management and reform steering capacities, focusing on human resources and the modernisation of working methods. The project will also lead to a more effective control framework that will contribute to an improvement in the quality of public spending, better public services and a strengthened monitoring framework for the export of natural resources, as well as increased mobilisation of tax revenue, better access to financing and additional budgetary leeway for essential public services. PAMRET has three components: (i) strengthening resource management and mobilisation  (ii) support for programming, transparency and monitoring of development policies  and (iii) project management.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to strengthening revenue mobilisation capacity and the transparent and effective management of public development policies. Its specific objectives are to: (i) improve resource mobilisation and management  and (ii) support programming, monitoring and transparency in the implementation of development policies.  The main direct beneficiaries of PAMRET are the government bodies responsible for tax revenue collection (DGI, Customs, DGTCP), debt management (DD), investment mobilisation (Ministry of Trade) and also for controlling and monitoring public policies, including corruption control (CA, High Authority for Good Governance) and illicit financial flows (ANIF, EITI). All beneficiary structures will be strengthened through the acquisition of methods suited to their missions, high-level technical assistance and delivery of targeted training programmes. As the project enhances PFM, it will ultimately benefit the entire CAR population. In addition, to bolster citizens’ participation in public policy development and monitoring, the project will address CSOs’ lack of capacity for budget analysis and monitoring, and create opportunities for discussing how to plan and execute public development.

Central African Republic - Economic and Social Reform Consolidation Support Programme Phase I (PACRES I). The Economic and Social Reform Consolidation Support Programme (PACRES) aims to enhance economic governance and mitigate the social crisis. It will help to improve budget execution for community health to preserve human capital, as well as improve budget execution for the delivery of basic social services to build community resilience (including climate risks). Hence, PACRES supports the Government's efforts under RCPCA (2017-2023) to create enabling conditions for strong and inclusive growth, as well as the well-being of the population. PACRES is a two-phase programme-based general budget support operation. The proposed programme is structured around two (2) components, namely (i) Component 1: Support for fiscal consolidation  (ii) Component 2: Improving public expenditure management for the delivery of basic social services. Increased domestic resources, managed more transparently, will enable CAR to allocate more funds to basic social services for the population and thereby preserve human capital.  The programme’s overall goal is to enhance economic governance and mitigate the social crisis by supporting public finance management reforms and helping to preserve human capital. More specifically, the programme aims to consolidate the budget by increasing tax revenue mobilisation and reinforcing budget transparency and citizen control.  The program will benefit the entire population of the Central African Republic. Improving tax efficiency to increase resource mobilization, coupled with greater transparency in public expenditure management, will free up budget space to increase allocations to social services that will improve the living conditions of the population, particularly women and girls.

Senegal - The South Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project (PZTA-Sud, or Agropole Sud). The South Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project (PZTA-Sud, or Agropole Sud) is among the flagship projects of Senegal’s Vision 2035 Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE). It raises the number of growth drivers from two (telecommunications and services) to six, the four new ones being agriculture and agribusiness, housing, mining and tourism. PZTA-Sud aims to create the conditions for increased private investment in targeted value chains, including agricultural processing, input supply and service provision. The expected outcomes concern improving the food and nutritional security of beneficiaries as well as their income through improved access to markets, agricultural inputs, and services. To this end, the project provides for (i) the increase in private investment thanks to the facilities provided (more favourable business ecosystem, construction of a central agro-industrial module (Adéane), three (3) regional modules (Bignona, Sédhiou and Kolda) and five (5) aggregation and service platforms  and (ii) capacity building of value chain actors in agro-industrial sectors (structuring/organisation of value chains, training, ease of access to finance, production by researching in-vitro mango, cashew, maize seedlings, etc.). The project consists of three (03) components, namely : (a) support for the establishment of a business ecosystem conducive to private investment in agro-industry  (b) sustainable improvement of the capacities of producers in the agro-industrial sector  (c) coordination, management and monitoring-evaluation.  The project goal is to contribute towards reducing rural poverty and increasing the share of agro-industry in the country’s economic growth.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the regions of Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sédhiou. The number of households that will be affected is estimated at 65,000, or about 365,000 people (of which 50% women and 60% youth). The number of people who will be indirectly affected corresponds to the population of the natural region of Casamance estimated at 2 million in 2018.

Senegal - Resource Mobilisation and Reform Effectiveness Support Programme – Phase I (PAMRER I). The Resource Mobilisation and Reform Effectiveness Support Programme (PAMRER I) is the first phase of a series of three programme-based budget support operations covering the 2019, 2020 and 2021 financial years, with an overall indicative financing package of EUR 62.5 million. It presents the programme’s multi-year framework and provides a list of reforms considered to be the indicative triggers for the second (PAMRER II) and third (PAMRER III) phases. The programme seeks to address two major issues, namely: (i) Increased mobilisation of domestic resources to finance PSE projects and reforms in the long term  (ii) Acceleration of the implementation of strategic reforms and projects geared towards enhancing investment attractiveness. It comprises therefore two complementary components, namely: (i) Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Broadening of the Tax Base  and (ii) Implementation of Strategic Reforms and Projects to Enhance Investment Attractiveness. The programme aims to meet the following outcomes:(i) improvement in tax administration by increasing the Doing Business score from 48.08 points in 2018 to 50 points in 2022 (ii) broadening of the tax base by increasing the tax burden from 15.3% of GDP in 2018 to 20% in 2023, as well as a Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes rating of “largely compliant” following the inclusion of new standards on beneficial ownership  and (iii) enhancement of the country’s attractiveness as an investment destination through an increase in foreign direct investments (FDIs) from 3% of GDP in 2018 to 6% in 2022.  The overall objective of the programme is to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation and promote strategic reforms to attract investments.  The direct programme beneficiary is the Government of Senegal. However, PAMRER I will benefit the entire population of Senegal. A better adapted fiscal policy should increase Government’s resources and help to finance public services, thus improving the living conditions of the population. A more efficient tax administration should lower transaction costs for taxpaying individuals and reporting companies. This will be a direct benefit to these entities and, at the same time, help to improve tax compliance as well as the business environment. Lastly, the effective implementation of PSE strategic reforms and projects should help to attract investments and create jobs.

Senegal - Program to Support Resource Mobilization and Reform effectiveness, Resource Mobilisation and Reform Effectiveness Support Programme - Phase II (PAMRER). The Resource Mobilisation and Reform Effectiveness Support Programme II (PAMRER II) is the first phase of a series of three programme-based budget support operations covering the 2019, 2020 and 2021 financial years. Phase I of PAMRER focused on the launching of reforms and establishment of the related analytical and coordination frameworks. Phase II of PAMRER in 2021 aims to consolidate the achievements of Phase I and bring to maturity the programme’s texts, actions and commitments. More specifically, it supports (i) the effective establishment of legal and operational frameworks for fiscal transparency and automatic exchange of information, (ii) a shift from pilot phases to significant taxpayer coverage through tax system digitisation, (iii) the improvement of fiscal transparency, (iv) establishment of a framework for the new Investment Code and the industrial policy, (v) effective Special Economic Zones (SEZ) operationalisation, (v) approval of a new PPP law and the crafting of the new private sector development strategy and, lastly (vi) strengthening of public debt-related risk management. The programme has two main components, namely (1) domestic resource mobilisation and broadening of the tax base and (2) support for recovery by implementing strategic reforms and projects to improve the attractiveness of investments.  The objective of the project is to strengthen domestic resource mobilisation and strategic reform management to improve the attractiveness of investments.  The direct programme beneficiary is the Government of Senegal. However, the entire programme will benefit the whole population. A better adapted fiscal policy should increase Government’s resources and help to finance public services, thus improving the living conditions of the population. A more efficient tax administration should lower transaction costs for taxpaying individuals and reporting companies. Lastly, the effective implementation of PSE strategic reforms and projects should help to increase investment attractiveness and create jobs against a backdrop of post-COVID recovery. For their part, the measures to promote the development of the private sector and industry are in keeping with the renewal of Senegal’s industrial policy.

Senegal - Resource Mobilisation and Investment Attractiveness Institutional Support Project (PAIMRAI). The Resource Mobilisation and Investment Attractiveness Support Project (PAIMRAI) is designed to assist Senegal in its efforts to foster strong, sustainable and job-creating economic growth. Specifically,  it  involves  building  resource mobilisation capacity to  promote  competitiveness in  the  direction set  out  in  the Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE). The project will focus on the effective implementation of reforms in special economic zones, the preparation of a new investment code as well as on industrial competitiveness policy. The dual fiscal challenge is to improve revenue while promoting investments. Hence, the project has three (3) complementary components:  (i) strengthen tax policy and administration of financial authorities for revenue mobilisation (ii) competitiveness and structuring of PSE strategic projects, and (iii) project management. Project activities will last 48 months, with an estimated total cost of UA 12.04 million, net of taxes and customs duties.  The project's overarching objective is to strengthen the capacity to mobilise domestic resources for Emerging Senegal Plan (PSE) financing, and to enhance investment competitiveness and attractiveness in key sectors.  The  project's  main  direct  beneficiaries  are  the State structures  that  will  be  provided with institutional capacity building, including Directorate General for Taxes and Lands (DGID), Planning and Economic Forecasting Department (DGPPE), General Directorate of Public Accounting and Treasury (DGCPT), Public Expenditure Authorisation Directorate (DODP), Operations Monitoring Office (BOS), National Agency for Investment and Major Works Promotion (APIX), the Senegalese Standards Association, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Economy. The indirect beneficiaries will be taxpayers, whose tax transaction costs will be reduced, and the Senegalese people through the jobs created by investments attracted.

Senegal - Project for Support to Skills Development and Youth Entrepreneurship in Growth Sectors. The Support Project for Skills Development and Youth Entrepreneurship in Growth Sectors (PDCEJ) is based on the national priorities defined in the Emerging Senegal Plan (ESP) and the results of specific feasibility studies. The five-year project, designed and implemented in coordination with the private sector, will support the development of professional organizations in targeted sectors, with a view to improving competitiveness and productivity of firms in these sectors. It proposes a pragmatic approach based on the following three pillars: (i) the satisfaction of medium and long-term business needs in terms of technical skills, (ii) upgrading existing SMEs / SMIs  and (iii) the development of entrepreneurship or the self-employment of young people and women in growth sectors. The project includes two (2) essential components: (i) Support for skills development and enterprise competitiveness  (ii) Development of youth entrepreneurship. Its total cost, excluding taxes and customs-free, is estimated at UA 15.60 million.  The overall objective of the project is to contribute to growth and employment through the improvement of the quality of the workforce, the competitiveness of enterprises and youth entrepreneurship in the growth sectors of industry and agriculture.  Eventually, the project will: (i) assisting 250 companies in the hydrocarbon and gas sectors, solar energy, agro-industry and hides and skins  (ii) train at least 2,000 young people, 50% of whom are women in the oil related trades and who will be directly integrated into the companies that have expressed these needs  (iii) give vocational training to more than 40,000 young people and women over the duration of the project promoting the professional integration of at least 35,000 young people and women (direct and indirect jobs) and (iv) incubate more than 3,000 young people and women generating more than 700 Start ups providing at least 1,000 jobs. In total, the project provides support for 250 companies and 700 start-ups from incubation centers in growth sectors. And the direct beneficiaries for skills development are estimated at 40,000 young people, and women, generating 36,000 jobs.

Senegal - Emergency Community Development Programme Support Project  (PA-PUDC). The present Support Project for the Community Emergency Development Program (PA - PUDC) is perfectly in line with the Senegal Emergent Plan (PSE), particularly in axes (i) and (ii). The program aims to contribute to the improvement of the access of rural populations to basic social services through the establishment of socio-economic infrastructures and to promote the involvement of local actors in the economic and social development of their localities. Phase 1, in which the Bank contributed through budget support, was finalized in late December 2017. The present project is the Bank's support for the first PUDC Phase 2 operation to be financed in parallel with the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the Saudi Fund (FS) and the State of Senegal. It will improve the living conditions of the population, through substantial support for the development of agricultural value chains and better access to basic road and energy and socio-economic infrastructure. The project will be implemented over a period of four (4) years at a total cost of 162.03 million Euros. The intervention will place a strong emphasis on strengthening community development mechanisms by targeting the involvement of all actors in the implementation of the project. The main achievements expected are, among others (i) support for the establishment of 109 Rural Agricultural Societies (RAS) and 109 horticultural perimeters, including irrigation equipment (5-10 hectares)  (ii) the completion of 105 boreholes and drinking water supply infrastructure (iii) the acquisition of 799 processing equipment for women and young people  (iv) the construction of 710 km of rural roads and 76 solar power plants  (v) the laying of 1023 km of medium and low voltage networks and 190 H61 substations  (vi) the construction of 70 equipped health posts.  The objectives assigned to this first operation of Phase 2, are part of the main concerns of the Senegalese authorities to improve the living conditions of the populations, namely: (i) promote the development of economic activities in rural areas  (ii) improve people's access to basic socio-economic infrastructure and facilities  and (iii) promote the involvement and mobilization of all actors in community development.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are estimated at 1.5 million people, of whom 51% are women and live in the localities planned for carrying out the project activities, but also in the villages polarized by the said localities. The project will take into account the needs of women, men, youth, all age groups and social categories in all its components. Vulnerable populations in the project area will be favored, particularly with regard to access to drinking water, rural electrification and health infrastructure.

Senegal - Project to Improve Access to Electricity in Peri-Urban and Rural Areas. The present intervention is related to the improve access to electricity in peri-urban and rural areas Project (PAMACEL). It stems from Senelec’s comprehensive “Universal Electricity Access Programme” whose objective is to connect at least 600 000 new customers by 2025. The project seeks to rehabilitate and extend the low- and medium-voltage distribution networks in these areas in all regions of the country, and to improve Senelec’s business management and governance by training staff, replacing thousands of post-payment metres with prepayment ones and establishing a monitoring and evaluation unit. PAMACEL seeks to improve electricity distribution and increase the population’s access to quality power supply in many peri-urban and rural areas located within Senelec’s concession areas in all regions of Senegal outside Dakar, which is covered by other projects. Access by rural dwellers to basic services such as electricity is one of the means of improving inclusive economic growth in a country with a relatively wide disparity between urban and rural areas. The project will help to: (i) increase the national electricity access rate from 68% in 2017 to 75% in 2022 by connecting 75 000 new subscribers  (ii) reduce the rate of overall power losses from 23% to 15% in the localities concerned  and (iii) strengthen Senelec’s business management and governance. It comprises three components, namely: (i) Infrastructures  (ii) institutional support  and (iii) project management.  The project goal is to improve power distribution and the quality of life for the people by increasing their access to quality energy service. The specific project objectives are to: (i) connect 75 000 new subscribers to the distribution network in 786 localities  (ii) replace 25 000 post-payment metres with smart prepayment metres  (iii) reduce the overall rate of losses (technical and commercial) in the localities concerned from 23% to 15%  and (iv) strengthen Senelec’s business management and governance.  The direct project beneficiaries are Senelec, the 25 000 subscribers whose analogue electric metres will be replaced by new-generation prepayment metres, the 75 000 new subscribers who will be connected to the network under the project and the population living in one of the 786 localities located in the 13 regions covered who will benefit from better quality basic social and public services (health, education, etc.) and street lighting through improved power supply.

PPF_DEVELOPPEMENT ENTREPRENARIAT JEUNES AGRI&AGROALIMENTAIRE. The Project for the Development of Youth Entrepreneurship in Agriculture and Agri-Food in Senegal (PEJAS), which was the subject of a request for preparatory funds from the African Development Bank, aims to give a majority of young women and men living in rural or urban areas opportunities to access viable employment, increase their income and improve their food security through profitable enterprises, integrated into the promising agricultural sectors. The project comprises the following three components: (i) Development of youth entrepreneurship in the agricultural and agri-food value chains  (ii) Facilitation of access to finance for young project leaders  (iii) Project coordination and management. The objective of this preparation is to carry out preliminary studies in order to improve the quality at the entrance of the agricultural and agri-food entrepreneurship development project.

Senegal - Agricultural Modernization and
Intensification Project. The Agricultural Modernization and Intensification Project (PMIA) aims in particular to set up an appropriate credit system accessible to farmers and to create an environment conducive to investment. The Project is essentially based on the various policies adopted by the Government of Senegal, which had placed particular emphasis on adapting the granting of credit to the rural context. The aim is to facilitate the acquisition of inputs by producers, especially those who were not eligible for the traditional banking system (women and poor, unemployed youths), by providing them with the necessary financial resources. The project consists of five components: i) crop intensification on 34,000 ha of land (later revised to 15,000 ha), for cereals (sorghum, rice, millet and rice), legumes (groundnuts and cowpea)  ii) horticulture development on 300 ha of land and rehabilitation of 3 schemes for market produce and 350 ha for fruit crops  iii) replacement and modernization of agriculture equipment  iv) support for farm produce processing and marketing  v) and project management.  The main objectives are: a) increasing agricultural production by equipping farmers, the intensification of crops and livestock and increasing horticulture production  b) improving the standard of living of farmers by increasing their incomes. The project also aims at ensuring sustainable conservation of natural resources to support the national intensification effort.  The primary beneficiaries are economically challenged groups among the rural poor, women and youth. PMIA’s target beneficiaries are the rural population not usually catered for by the conventional banking systems. The project will provide financing for 2,800 sub-projects in total and benefited almost 170,000 women.

Senegal - Project to Support Local Small-scale Irrigation (PAPIL). The Project to Support Local Small-scale Irrigation  (PAPIL) aims to promote small-scale irrigation at the local level, through rural communities and producer groups. This project should bring about a substantial increase in agricultural production and contribute to poverty alleviation and improve food security. It's designed to produce over 13,000 tons of cereal and raise the farmers’ incomes by as much as 70%, which would allow for significant changes in the households. It should also help improve the balance of payments, as it notably make it possible to reduce rice imports, and thus secure foreign exchangesavings in the order of two billion CFA Francs. The project concerns eight (08) departments in the Fatick, Kolda and Tambacounda regions. Using a participatory approach, it should provide for 120 small structures and development works for the control of run-off water (small dams, weirs, overdeepening of ponds, bottomlands, small irrigated areas, etc), restore over 2,000 ha of deteriorated land, and improve the conditions of living of the populations of the 87 rural communities concerned. The project comprises three main components, namely: A) sustainable irrigation and pastoral development  B) capacity building  and C) project management.  The sector objective of the project is to contribute to food security by developing small-scale irrigation at the local level. The specific objective is to increase agricultural production on a sustainable basis.  The project beneficiaries are firstly, the 43 villages centering around the Médina Djikoye, Médina Namo and Vélingara Pakane valley development, giving an estimated population of over 18,000. The project implementation should also benefit some 4,000 families in the Fatick region, through the reclamation of saline land and some 400 stockbreeders whose herds should have improved watering conditions. In the Kolda region, the smal-scale water control structures should benefit about 600 familles. In Tambacounda, approximately one thousand women from Kédougou department will be enabled to engage in rice farming, 10 GIE should produce market garden cops and fruits along the Gambia River, and 800 livestockventures will derive benefit from storage structures. The farming activities under the project (primarily, rice and market gardening) are targeting women, who should thus be the prime beneficiaries of the intervention.

Senegal - Project to Support Local Small-Scale Irrigation (PAPIL). The proposed operation consists of additional financing of UA 8.4 million to the Government of the Republic of Senegal to enable the Small Local Irrigation Support Project (PAPIL) to reach and to exceed its initial objectives. PAPIL aims primarily at participatory planning to develop land from small runoff management works to ensure food security. After more than four years of implementation, PAPIL has achieved much appreciated results in the mobilization of water resources and regeneration of the natural environment, and has raised many hopes among the populations confronted with the acuity of the problems related to climate change. Unfortunately, the financial resources of the project, in particular because of the increase in raw material prices, the average fall of the CU, and technical options, which were revised upwards during the participatory process, proved to be insufficient to allow intervention on all planned sites. The additional loan will allow the project to cope with the financing gap, and thus be able to realize all the infrastructures and facilities already identified and studied. It will amplify the actions of salt control, will continue the actions undertaken in terms of reforestation and protection of CES / DRS, will lead with the populations of new activities relating to the regeneration of mangroves and the protection of the island environments, intensify the dissemination of cultural techniques adapted to new climate and soil constraints, develop the reflection on the occurrence of exceptional rainfall phenomena and its consideration in the design of water retention structures, etc. This operation will cover a period of 3 years (2011-2013) and will affect the same initial geographical area (4 regions): Fatick, Kolda, Tambacounda and Kédougou.  The PAPIL target under the supplementary funding will be reworded as follows: "The sector goal of the project is to contribute to the reduction of poverty and rural food security by promoting water control infrastructures and climate change adaptation measures ".  PAPIL's direct targets, distributed in the regions of Fatick, Tambacounda, Kédougou and Kolda: - 12,000 farms - about 96,000 farmers including 44,000 men and 52,000 women. In general, the beneficiaries are mainly rural populations, farmers, women, young people, groups, associations, rural economic operators, decentralized structures, rural councils, etc.

Senegal - The Anambe Basin Rural Development Project. The Anambe Basin Rural Development Support Project is in line with Government rural development and decentralization policy, and conforms with Bank Group strategy on Senegal. It aims at a sustainable increase in agricultural production and incomes through better agronomic performance, a higher capacity of the farmers to manage the large Anambe irrigated scheme and to unlock the production potential around it. The project meets the demand of farmer organisations grouped in unions and a federation and should provide support accordingly. The purpose is to make the rural communities and farmer organisations more autonomous technically and financially. Its implementation should permit the development of the Anambe scheme and enhance decentralized development throughout the Basin. The project should also increase the value added of developed land, irrigated and rain-fed crop output by making rural communities and vocational organizations accountable, even as it supports development through local credit - a key condition to sustainable development. The main project components are: A) Local government support  B) Produce development  C) Accommodating measures  and D) Project management.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to reducing poverty and boosting food security.  Its specific objective is a sustainable increase in agricultural production and incomes.  About 50% of the population in the project area estimated at 112,000 people is expected to benefit directly from rainfed irrigated areas. Thus, the project is expected to benefit about 11,000 farms in the Anambé basin, of which more than 1,740 are irrigated crops in large areas, about 1,000 are irrigated in small areas and about 2,200 are exclusively irrigated. The other beneficiaries of PADERBA are the deconcentrated services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, and the Ministry of Scientific Research and the project partner structures which should have their human, financial and logistical resources strengthened.

Eritrea - Dekemhare 30 MW Solar PV Project. The proposed project aims at development of a grid-connected solar PV power plant near Dekemhare Town (40 km southeast of Asmara), thereby increasing the availability of clean and affordable electricity. This would contribute to improving the quality of life of the population, promote business activities and job creation including for women and youth, thereby spurring the overall economic growth in the country. The project will also contribute to reducing GHG emissions from the sector. The project will result in social and economic benefits for the Eritrean people, and so contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the country’s development priorities. Some of the benefits are job opportunities  improvement in reliability of energy supply, and facilitation to increase access to electricity. Furthermore, the project will support GoSE’s efforts to reduce the cost of generating electricity through investment in a grid-connected solar PV power plant, thereby boosting productivity and value chain development (particularly in agriculture) and incentivizing private investment in the country. The resulting renewable energy will contribute to addressing system generation deficit, decrease energy production cost and increase electricity connectivity. The project comprises four main components, namely: (i) power generation  (ii) technical assistance and capacity building  (iii) project management  and (iv) implementation of the Environmental and Social Management Plan and Gender Action Plan.  The project development objective is to improve the energy supply which will contribute to the country's higher development objective of improving socio-economic development of the population. The specific objectives of the project are therefore to contribute to increased and diversified electricity supply through development of renewable energy sources (solar energy), and consequently reduce the cost of electricity, create employment opportunities and enhance business activities, and reduce GHG emissions from the energy sector.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the people of Dekemhare town as well as those of the entire Asmara region.

DIMENSIONS SOCIALES DE L'AJUSTEMENT. The Social Dimensions of Adjustment (SDA) project was designed to complement the social and in particular employment, measures already taken under the Programme. It’s an integral part of the Structural Adjustment Programme. Jobs and income should be created through innovative initiatives such as self-employment, the emergence of micro-enterprises, thus complementing more formal productive activities in the private or state sector. Women and grassroots communities should be able to participate more fully in the development process. The DSA project should help to assist vulnerable groups during the transitional phase of adjustment and subsequently increase their participation in the development process. The project was designed as a package consisting of the following seven modules: population  health  education  employment (FNE)  women and development  community development programme  planning capacities and information bases.  The project has three objectives: (i) promote the participation of vulnerable groups in the development process in the medium and long term  (ii) protect in the short term those groups most vulnerable to the negative effects of Cameroon's economic and financial crisis  and (iii) institutionalize concerns.  The project is expected to benefit micro-enterprises, private sector actors and young people.

Cameroon - Poverty Reduction and Actions in Favour of Women. The present intervention focuses on Poverty Reduction and Actions in Favour of Women in the Far North Province. The project is part of the Government's medium-term economic and social strategy as a pilot experiment.

PROGRAMME D'AJUSTEMENT STRUCTUREL II. Le PAS II permettra d'atteindre les objectifs suivants : a) maintenir l'économie sur la voie d'une croissance réelle soutenue, au taux de 5 % en moyenne au cours des trois prochaines années. b) réduire le taux d'inflation d'un niveau d'environ 4 % en 1995/96 à 2 % en 1999/2000   et c) stabiliser le déficit du compte courant extérieur au dessous de 2 % du , dans le but d'atteindre la viabilité de la balance des paiements d'ici la fin de la décennie. Afin de réaliser ces objectifs, la stratégie à moyen terme du Gouvernement  devra reposer sur trois axes majeurs. En premier lieu, les gains de compétitivité de l'économie seront consolidés par la poursuite d'une politique salariale prudente et efficace dans le secteur public. En deuxième lieu, l'effort d'ajustement des finances publiques visera à dégager des excédents de base de budget (hors investissement financier sur assistance extérieur) de l'ordre de 6 % du PIB. En outre, la politique budgétaire doit être appuyée par une politique monétaire suffisamment restrictive, qui éviterait les pressions sur la balance des paiements et sur l'inflation. En troisième lieu, des mesures structurelles viseront à réduire la taille du secteur public, à renforcer les incitations au développement du secteur privé, et ainsi à améliorer les perspectives de croissance de l'économie.

The National Governance Programme Support Project (NGPSP) is an ambitious program designed with the support of UNDP to reduce the negative impact of corruption on efforts to promote private investment and reduce poverty in Cameroon. The PAPNG is the concrete translation of the Bank's commitment to the Cameroonian authorities, in perfect synergy with other partners, to contribute to the sustainable development of the country and to poverty reduction through the transformation of the State into an efficient instrument of administration and regulation adapted to the requirements of a modern and democratic society. The three main components of the project are: (i) Support to the justice system  (ii) Support to the improvement of economic and financial management  (iii) Support to administrative reform. The main activities consist of: transfer of know-how by technical assistants to nationals and technology transfer  training of managers  purchase of computer and office equipment and construction of infrastructure. In addition, it will be necessary to ensure the monitoring-evaluation and annual audit of the special account as well as supervision.  The sectoral objectives can be summarised as the establishment of efficient and transparent management of the State on the one hand, and a modern justice system, accessible to all and guaranteeing the rule of law and the security of investments on the other. Specifically, the aim will be to: (i) modernise and increase the productivity of the justice system with a view to improving the legal environment for business and better access to judicial services  (ii) strengthen the capacity for effective management and control of economic projects, with a view to better execution of the public investment budget and a greater capacity to absorb external financing  (iii) strengthen the supreme control of the State with a view to making it more transparent and effective  and (iv) promote a more modern and efficient administration, which is accountable and oriented towards customer satisfaction.  The expected outputs of the project are as follows: i) strengthening and modernisation of the judicial system  ii) strengthening of the structures for programming and controlling the use of public resources  iii) capacity building of the Permanent Secretariat for Administrative Reform (SPRA)  iv) support for project coordination. The beneficiaries of the project are the structures in charge of justice, financial management, administrative governance, state control and coordination of the NGP.

Cameroon - Governance Reform Support Program (PARG). L'objectif global du PARG est de soutenir le Gouvernement camerounais dans ses efforts de lutte contre la pauvreté. Son objectif spécifique est de contribuer à la promotion de la bonne gouvernance. Le PARG comprend un volet "appui aux réformes" (appui à la balance des paiements) financé par des ressources du FAD pour un montant de 25 millions d'UC à décaisser en deux tranches équivalentes, et un volet "appui institutionnel", qui vise à renforcer les capacités des principales structures chefs de file des réformes du Programme national de gouvernance révisé (PNG-R).

Cameroon - Support Project for Modernization of Land Registration and Improvement of the Business Climate. This operation seeks to grant additional financing of UA 5 million to the Support Project for Modernization of Land Registration and Improvement of the Business Climate (PAMOCCA) in order to extend its activities to other regions of the country and strengthen the sustainability of outcomes. Indeed, PAMOCCA is a pilot project aimed at supporting the Government to strengthen governance in land registration and management through modernization of land registration in four towns, regional headquarters in the country (Yaounde, Douala, Maroua and Garoua) and to revise the land-related legislative, regulatory and institutional framework. This additional loan which will be disbursed over a period of four years (2014-2017), will be used to extend modernization of land registration to six other towns, which are regional headquarters in the country. The loan will also be used to finance a vast capacity building programme in land registration and management through continuing training, as well as create a specialized stream at the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM).  PAMOCCA objective is to develop Cameroon’s land capital and help consolidate sustainable growth and reduce poverty. Specifically, this project seeks to consolidate and extend the expected outcomes of PAMOCCA which are as follows: (i) improved access to reliable and secured land titles  (ii) higher tax revenue in towns with reliable and computerized land registration services  and (iii) improved business climate.  The project will benefit the tax administration and MINDAF, active urban communities (UCs), and the private sector in terms of capacity building, resource mobilization and improvement of the business climate, as well as the population in terms of security and improvement of the living environment. The Cameroonian population in general will benefit from the impact of the project through activities aimed at improving access to charges on land and information.

Cameroon - Support Project for Modernization of the Land Registration System and Business Climate (PAMOCCA). The Support Project for Modernization of the Land Registration System and Business Climate (PAMOCCA) falls under the implementation of the National Growth and Employment Strategy (DSCE) 2010-2020. This strategy presents the National Vision aimed at facilitating access by Cameroon to the status of emerging country by 2035, and considers efficient management of land as a factor for promoting the private sector and economic competitiveness. The project will contribute to building the capacities of the Government in its role as facilitator and regulator of socio-economic activity. It will also contribute to improving its strategic management capacity so as to consolidate its role in the delivery of quality public services, improvement of the business environment and, ultimately, its leadership in regional integration. In response to the urgent need to modernize land registration and tenure, the project will use the Rapid Results Approach (RRA), which helps to shorten the time needed for effectiveness of the loan agreement, and target tangible and developmental results. The total project cost is estimated at UA 8.22 million. It will concentrate on the 4 Cameroonian towns with extensive land reserves (Yaounde, Douala, Maroua and Garoua).  PAMOCCA objective is to develop Cameroon’s land capital and help consolidate sustainable growth and reduce poverty. Specifically, the objectives are as follows: (i) improved access to reliable and secured land titles  (ii) higher tax revenue in towns with reliable and computerized land registration services  and (iii) improved business climate.  The project will benefit the tax administration and Ministry of State Property and Land Tenure (MINDAF), active urban communities (UCs), and the private sector in terms of capacity building, resource mobilization and improvement of the business climate, as well as the population in terms of security and improvement of the living environment. The Cameroonian population in general will benefit from the impact of the project through activities aimed at improving access to charges on land and information.

Cameroon - Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme (PACCE). The proposed orperation concerns a EUR 180 million AfDB loan to the Republic of Cameroon to finance the Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme (PACCE). This is the first of three programme-based General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the 2017-2019 period for an indicative total financing of EUR 540 million. It is a response to the request submitted to the Bank in November 2016 by the Government of Cameroon amid the deterioration of the country’s public finance due to the drastic and continuous fall in oil prices. The design of this programme-based operation took into account the need for the Bank to contribute to addressing the above-mentioned challenges and to supporting reforms aimed at promoting accelerated, sustainable and inclusive growth in Cameroon. PACCE aims to contribute to laying the foundations for accelerated, resilient and inclusive economic growth by improving the public finance management (PFM) framework and strengthening the governance and competitiveness of productive sectors (transport, energy and agriculture). The reform package in this programme hinges on two interdependent and complementary components. Component 1 which aims to streamline the public finance management framework will help to reinforce macroeconomic stability, create fiscal space, prioritize public investment projects, and stimulate growth. The measures proposed in Component 2, focusing on the enhancement of governance and competitiveness of productive sectors, will contribute to reducing factor, transport and electricity access costs, attracting private investments, stimulating growth through the development of agro-industry and strengthening fiscal consolidation measures by increasing tax revenue derived from a more vibrant private sector. PACCE is a balanced programme that combines PFM, public investment, sector governance and economic competitiveness reforms.  PACCE seeks to support the implementation of Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (GESP) which strives to accelerate growth and reduce unemployment and the incidence of poverty. To that end, the proposed programme is aimed at: (i) strengthening the fiscal position of the State by streamlining public expenditure in order to create the fiscal space needed to finance priority investments  and (ii) creating favourable conditions for sustainable and inclusive growth by strengthening the governance and competitiveness of productive sectors through improvement of the efficiency and quality of road and energy infrastructure as well as the legal, regulatory and institutional framework.  The programme beneficiaries are the State of Cameroon, through the ministries and government services in charge of the economy and finance, agriculture and rural development, livestock and fisheries, public works and energy. Ultimately, the beneficiaries of the dividens of the economic growth accruing from sustainable job creation, particularly in the agro-pastoral sector, will be the citizens of Cameroon. The private sector, particularly SMEs, and especially those managed by women and youth in rural areas, are indirect PACCE beneficiaries. The programme measures dealing with the energy, transport and rural development sectors will enable the population to benefit, in the medium term, from greater access to electricity, better maintained roads, equitable access to public procurement and an environment that is conducive to the development of their activities.

Cameroon - Agricultural Value Chain Development Project. The Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (AVC-DP) is the mechanism for realizing the Cameroon’s vision of expanding its role as the agricultural locomotive of the Central African sub-region, embraced in 2009, which is outlined in the 2010-2020 Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (GESP) that focuses on three pillars, namely: (i) growth, (ii) employment, and (iii) governance and strategic management of the State. The project will help to create wealth and employment, especially for the youth, as well as to boost food and nutritional security by enhancing the competitiveness of the three agricultural value chains (oil palm, banana and pineapple). The components and expected outcomes of the project are: (i) rural infrastructure development: 1,000 km of rural roads, 30 warehouses, 15 rural markets, 30 km of electricity networks, 30 drinking water supply (DWS) systems, a quality control laboratory for agricultural products  (ii) crop sector development: support for the establishment of processing units, institution building for farmer organizations, technical guidance, facilitation of the interface with service providers, training, research support for the production of quality seeds and seedlings, establishment of a crop sector development fund to finance value chains (VC)  (iii) development of youth agricultural entrepreneurship: close to 600 businesses created in the agro-business sector for approximately 1,500 young graduates (40% being women) and ensuring access to credit  and (iv) project coordination and management. The net project cost is EUR 115.081 million (CFAF 75 488.829 million), jointly financed by the AfDB (77.6%), the Government (21.5%), and beneficiaries (0.9%). The total project duration is five years.  The project will contribute to the following sector development goals: create shared wealth  create jobs, especially for the youths  and ensure food and nutritional security. The specific objectives are to: (i) improve the competitiveness of the oil palm, plantain and pineapple value chains  (ii) create jobs, especially for the youths  and (iii) sustainably improve the incomes of targeted crop sector stakeholders.  The direct beneficiaries of the project are estimated at 242,000 people, with 50% women. These are stakeholders operating within organized structures (cooperatives and networks of farmer organizations) that engage in the targeted value chains, as well as young graduates attracted by agro-business. The indirect beneficiaries, composed of the rural communities in the project area, are estimated at one million persons.

Cameroon - Studies for the mobilisation and valorisation of rainwater through hillside reservoirs (PEMVEP). The project is part of the framework of poverty reduction and the fight against drought in a context of climate change. It consists mainly of conducting a : (i) preliminary technical studies of a maximum of 15 hill reservoir sites with associated irrigable land (FTE)  (ii) feasibility studies of preliminary design studies (PDS) of favourable sites (maximum 10) following the preliminary technical studies  (iii) detailed preliminary project feasibility studies (APD) on 5 hill dam sites and associated hydro-agricultural developments  (iv) an environmental and social impact study (ESIA) for each of the 5 hill dam sites and associated hydro-agricultural developments, together with an environmental and social management plan (ESMP)  and (v) an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for each of the 5 hill dam sites and associated hydro-agricultural developments, together with an environmental and social management plan (ESMP): (v) draw up tender documents (DAO) for the five hill retention sites and associated hydro-agricultural developments  and then (vi) organise a round table of donors with a view to financing the development of the five hill retention sites and associated hydro-agricultural perimeters. This project is planned for a total duration of 19 months from the signature of the grant agreement and will be implemented by the Ministry of Water and Energy (MINEE).  The sectoral objective is to improve the resilience of Cameroon's populations in the face of uncertainties related to climate change by ensuring the permanent availability of rainwater for uses related to drinking water supply, strengthening agricultural, pastoral and forestry activities through studies for the construction of hill dams.  The main beneficiaries are the populations of the northern region in general (about 50,000 people), and particularly farmers, stockbreeders, fishermen, the populations of the surrounding areas for domestic water uses, and the populations of ecotourism activities. Women constitute the majority of the beneficiaries (51.42% of the region's population). Young people will also benefit through the creation of jobs during the infrastructure works (hill reservoirs and hydro-agricultural developments) and above all through the development of production activities (agriculture, fishing, livestock farming) resulting from the development of the land adjacent to the hill reservoirs.

Cameroon - Project for Studies and Preparation of a Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Programme. The present project focuses on conducting studies for the preparation of an investment program for the construction of 300 mini-grids for drinking water supply in rural areas of Cameroon. This is a Government response to the difficulties that hinder the development of the rural water sub-component. The project aims to improve the efficiency of investments in the drinking water and sanitation sub-sector. This project will also mobilize the funds needed to finance the construction works of the mini-grids for which the studies are carried out. In the long term, the program resulting from these studies will contribute to improving the rate of access to drinking water in the localities selected and the sustainability, management, regularity of the water service and monitoring and evaluation of existing water supply works and to be built in rural areas. The main components of the project are: (i) studies  (ii) institutional support as well as (iii) project management and coordination.  The objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of investments in the drinking water and sanitation sub-sector through the activities of studies, capacity building and collection and storage of key information for the management of water and sanitation in Cameroon.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the populations covered by these studies which could reach more than 900,000 inhabitants. To these populations, the population of the 200 villages selected for the FDAL operation should be added to eradicate the practice of open defecation. In addition, through its capacity building activities, the project will benefit the Ministry of Water and Energy, Municipalities and Small and Medium Enterprises.

Cameroon - Transport Sector Support Programme Phase 2: Rehabilitation of the Yaounde-Bafoussam-Babadjou Road, Development of the Grand Zambi-Kribi Road and Development of the Maroua-Bogo-Pouss Road. The proposed operation should significantly contribute to the rehabilitation of one of the major axes of the country's structuring network, namely the Yaoundé - Bafoussam - Bamenda route. It is the natural extension of the Bamenda-Enugu road corridor that is nearing completion on multi-source financing under the Bank's leadership, and serves as a transit corridor for trade between Cameroon and Nigeria in particular and between the CEMAC/EECAC and ECOWAS zones in general. Considering the said programme’s scale of works, relative to available resources, it was agreed that Bank intervention should be in phases. The first phase, covering the Batschenga-Ntui-Yoko-Lena segment (248.60 km) and approved in November 2014. The second phase concerns: (i) the rehabilitation of the Yaoundé-Bafoussam-Babadjou road  (ii) the development of the Maroua-Bogo-Pouss and Grand Zambi-Kribi roads  and (iii) ancillary socio-economic activities. The implementation period of this phase of the programme is 4 years and its total cost is estimated at UA 361.890 million. At the level of sectoral governance, technical assistance is provided for the institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Public Works, the main contracting authority and the state engineer in the design and implementation of the implementation of major projects. Finally, the current project will assist the government in the implementation of a sustainable road heritage management system in Cameroon as well as technical assistance for the implementation of the GENIS level of service road maintenance method.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to opening up, developing agricultural potential and increasing trade between and within the country’s regions. The project’s specific objective is to improve the performance of the transport logistical chain between the cities Yaoundé-Bamenda, Maroua-Bogo-Pouss and Grand Zambi-Kribi, and thus improve the living conditions of the people in these areas.  The programme’s main beneficiaries are transport users and the economic operators active in the impact area. The 4 624 051 inhabitants of the area also benefit from better social and economic infrastructure, which improves their living environment as well as their living conditions.

Cameroon - Transport Sector Support Programme - Phase III : Construction of the Ring Road - 2nd Instalment of ADB Financing. This intervention concerns the Construction of the Ring Road as part of the third phase of the Transport Sector Support Programme. It aims to contribute to improving the movement of goods and people. This will strengthen the foundations for strong and sustainable growth by promoting trade at the national level and with neighbouring Nigeria. The Ring-Road has a total length of approximately 365 km. It forms a loop of Bamenda-BambuiNdop-Babessi-Kumbo-Nkambe-Misaje-Nyos-Wum-Bafut-Bamenda. It crosses five of the seven departments of the Northwest Region and includes several connections to the Nigerian border, notably from Misaje. The programme is structured around the four components, namely (i) road works  (ii) related facilities and support for women and youth  (iii) institutional support  and (iv) programme management and coordination.  The programme objective is to improve the level of service of the Ring Road and the living conditions of the population in the programme impact area.  The operation’s direct beneficiaries are the people living in the PIA and its main social groups. Other beneficiaries include various users of the Ring Road (carriers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, etc.), businesses and service providers who will be mobilised to ensure its implementation, as well as technical services and other administrative entities in the North-West Region.

Cameroon - Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme - Phase II (PACCE II). The proposed operation concerns a EUR 150 million AfDB loan to finance the second phase of the Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme (PACCE II) in Cameroon. PACCE is a multi-year programme-based operation that covers three years (2017, 2018 and 2019). PACCE I, which was approved in December 2017, provided a list of reform measures considered as indicative triggers for the second phase (PACCE-II). PACCE II is designed to complement PACCE I and consolidate past achievements. This is a programme-based support operation anchored in the Government's development strategy as defined in the interim Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (GESP) for 2010-2020. The Programme is structured around two (2) mutually interdependent and complementary components: (i) streamline the public finance management framework  and (ii) strengthen governance and competitiveness in productive sectors.  PACCE seeks to support the implementation of GESP and Three-Year Emergency Plan (PLANUT), which strive to accelerate growth and reduce unemployment and the incidence of poverty. To that end, the proposed programme aims at: (i) consolidating the State's fiscal position by streamlining public expenditure in order to build up fiscal buffers needed to finance priority investments  and (ii) creating favourable conditions for sustainable and inclusive growth by strengthening the governance and competitiveness of productive sectors through improvement of the efficiency and quality of road and energy infrastructure, as well as the legal, regulatory and institutional environment.  The programme beneficiaries remain the same as in PACCE I. The direct beneficiaries are the Government of Cameroon, through the Ministries and administrations in charge of the Economy, Finance, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Stockbreeding and Fisheries, Public Works and Energy. The effects of economic growth through the creation of sustainable jobs in the agro-pastoral sector, in particular, will ultimately benefit the Cameroonian population. The private sector, particularly SMEs of the troad sub-sector, notably those run by women and young people in rural areas, are indirect beneficiaries of PACCE.

Cameroon - Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme, Phase III (PACCE III). The proposed intervention concerns a EUR 80.4 million AfDB loan to finance the third phase of the Competitiveness and Economic Growth Support Programme (PACCE III). PACCE was approved in November 2017 as a multi-year programme-based operation that covers three years (2017, 2018, and 2019). PACCE III is designed to consolidate the achievements of PACCE I and II. This is the last operation of the three-year programmebased operations for a total amount of EUR 411 million. The programme is structured around two (2) mutually interdependent and complementary components: (i) streamlining of the public finance management framework  and (ii) strengthening of governance and competitiveness in productive sectors. PACCE III will complement the other operations financed by the African Development Bank Group in Cameroon. In particular, its implementation will enhance the impact of infrastructure and agricultural investment projects that were approved recently or are in the process of being approved, namely: (i) Road Programme 2: Yaounde-Bafoussam (UA 12.8 million)  (ii) Central African Backbone Project (UA 31.1 million), and (iii) PD-CVA Agricultural Value Chains Project (UA 79.4 million). The expected potential impact of these projects, coupled with that of the ongoing structural reforms, will unlock Cameroon's full potential for long-term development through macroeconomic stabilisation, effective public policy, improved competitiveness and economic diversification, and the creation of decent jobs.  PACCE seeks to support the implementation of GESP and PLANUT, which strive to accelerate growth and reduce unemployment and the incidence of poverty. To that end, the proposed programme aims at: (i) consolidating the State's budgetary position by streamlining public expenditure in order to build up buffers needed to finance priority investments  and (ii) creating favourable conditions for sustainable and inclusive growth by strengthening governance and competitiveness of productive sectors and improving the efficiency and quality of road and energy infrastructure, as well as the legal, regulatory and institutional environment.  The programme beneficiaries remain the same as in the two previous PACCE phases. The direct beneficiaries are the Government of Cameroon, through the Ministries and administrative services in charge of the Economy, Finance, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Stockbreeding and Fisheries, Public Works and Energy. Economic growth brought by the creation of sustainable jobs in the agropastoral sector, in particular, will ultimately benefit the Cameroonian population. The private sector, particularly road subsector SMEs run by women and young people in rural areas, will be the indirect PACCE beneficiaries. Programme measures for the energy, transport and rural development sectors will, in the medium term, provide better access to electricity, better maintained roads, and fair access to public procurement, as well as create an environment conducive to the development of their activities.

Cameroon - Yaoundé City Sustainable Enhanced Drainage and Sanitation Project (PCADY). The Yaoundé City Sustainable Enhanced Drainage and Sanitation Project (PCADY) is in line with the objectives of the previous Yaoundé City Sustainable Sanitation Project (PADY) Phases 1 and 2, while also making the necessary adjustments to increase the expected outcomes. The 17 km of canals built during the first and second phases of the project on the watercourses that drain Yaoundé City have significantly reduced the frequency and impacts of flooding in a part of the city. The project has improved the adaptation of Yaoundé to climate change. However, the exceptionally heavy rains of 2018 led to further flooding, prompting the identification of actions that should be taken to supplement achievements of Phases 1 and 2. A study carried out in the second phase of the project revealed the need to build new structures that would significantly reduce the frequency of flooding in the city in a climate change context. Furthermore, a number of relevant PADY2 activities could not be carried out due to procurement difficulties, and Covid-19. To avoid degrading the portfolio's performance, given that the project was becoming aged, the Bank opted to close phase 2 on 30 June 2021. The Bank is committed to responding to the Government's new request to implement additional activities such as waste treatment and management, construction of a flood retention basin, and improvement and maintenance of roads on the banks of the canals already built with a view to integrating these roads into the urban transport network and addressing the problem of pre collection and recovery of solid household waste, which is a serious constraint to the normal functioning of drainage canals.  The  objective  of  the project is  to sustainably improve  the quality  of  life  for  the  people by enhancing storm water management and hygiene and ensuring the harmonious integration of infrastructure.  The project area is the City of Yaoundé (the Urban Council and the 7 District Councils) with an estimated population of three million. The direct project beneficiaries are the people living in the vicinity of the works whose situation will be considerably improved by the reduction of the effects of floods. However, it should be noted that all the inhabitants of Yaoundé City stand to benefit from this project, notably thanks to (i) the improvement in the flow of urban traffic, (ii)  the  reduction  in  the  number  of  piles  of  household  refuse   and  (iii)  the  end  of  the  traffic interruptions that usually occur on Avenue Kennedy and the Central Post Office during heavy downpours.

Cameroon - Project to Develop Access Roads to the Industrial and Port Area of Kribi (Parzik) - Phase II. The proposed operation in an ADB loan of EUR 39.629 million in addition to the first phase of EUR 114.336 million, approved on 20 October 2021 to the Republic of Cameroon to finance the Project to develop access roads to the industrial and port area of Kribi (PARZIK). The first phase of Kribi’s port infrastructure comprises (i) a 350-metre-longcontainer terminal  and (ii) a 265-metre-longmultipurpose terminal. The following are currently being developed (a) the second phase which, from 2024, should provide an additional 700-metre quay bringing the container terminal capacity up to 1,000,000 x 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs)  and the (b) the industrial complex combined with a vast area for heavy, medium and light industry, a modern residential town with housing for up to 300,000 people by 2040, as well as new and improved transport infrastructure. The project is expected to be implemented over seven years (2021-2028). Given its macroeconomic context and within the limits consistent with the country's level of debt sustainability, the Government wished to commit the Bank's financing in two phases. The activities, financed by the first phase of the ADB loan, effectively started in November 2021. The second loan of UA 33.460 million, is the subject of this operation.  PARZIK’s sector goal is to help improve the transport system in Cameroon by optimising the operation of the Kribi Industrial Port Complex and promoting regional integration in Central Africa. This sector goal is broken down into three (3) specific objectives aimed at (i) establishing permanent road links to improve the accessibility and connectivity of the Kribi Industrial Port Complex, (ii) reducing travel time and overall transport costs at national and regional level, and (iii) improving the quality of life for people living in the project impact area.  The project’s direct impact area (PDIA) comprises the South and Littoral Regions of Cameroon as well as the Littoral Province of Equatorial Guinea. The indirect impact area covers the remainder of Cameroon and the entire continental region of Equatorial Guinea, including some regions of these two countries’ neighbouring countries (Chad, Congo, CAR and Gabon), thus amplifying the snowball effect of the Bank’s intervention in terms of regional integration. The project’s direct target beneficiaries are the people living in the area directly impacted by the project and its main social groups. Other beneficiaries include various users of the road sections concerned by the project (hauliers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, etc.), businesses and service providers who will be mobilised to ensure its implementation, as well as technical services and other administrative entities in the Littoral and South regions.

Cameroon - Agricultural Production Support Programme - AEFPF-CAM. The Agricultural Production Support Programme in Cameroon (PARPAC) is designed as a sector budget support (SBS) to provide resources to Cameroon. These resources will be used to rapidly procure necessary agricultural inputs and facilitate outreach to farmers, while amplifying the dynamics of reforms indispensable for improving sector governance. Hence, the operation will focus on the agricultural sector and will support the implementation of institutional policies and reforms recently deployed but still not operational or undergoing review. The PARPAC is articulated around two components, both of which aim to boost food production by (i) facilitating access to agricultural inputs and (ii) providing support for the agricultural extension system and food resilience. These two components are each accompanied by specific reforms and actions to be taken as part of the project's strategic measures.  PARPAC's main objective is to boost the production of Cameroon's main agricultural crops (rice, maize, sorghum/millet, soybeans, potatoes, oil palm, and market garden crops/tomato) in the short and medium term. This is to mitigate the impact of the food crisis by assisting farmers and the government with the necessary resources to supply agricultural inputs (quality seeds or seedlings, and fertilisers), as well as through support for agricultural extension and the implementation of food resilience measures, while minimising the carbon footprint and taking measures to limit the vulnerability of production systems to climate risks.  The programme's direct beneficiaries include (i) the Cameroonian State, through budget support to provide resources to sustain the demand for inputs and lighten the burden on farmers facing the soaring costs of inputs  (ii) farmers, who will benefit from a 30%reduction in input prices and better supervision on the ground, (iii) input importers and distributors whose demand for inputs will be maintained at the usual level, thanks to the support provided to farmers, (iii) the Cameroonian people, mainly women, since PARPAC will help to curb the increase in the price of agricultural commodities, and (iv) companies in the oilseed and cereal sectors.

Cameroon - Economic Recovery Support Programme in Cameroon (PARECAM Phase I). This intervention concerns the Economic Recovery Support Programme in Cameroon (PARECAM). It aims to foster the post-COVID recovery of the Cameroonian economy through fiscal consolidation, structural transformation and the revitalization of the private sector. The programme contributes to strengthening fiscal sustainability through increased tax revenue collection and greater transparency in public spending. It also contributes to improving the industrialisation framework and private sector development for inclusive and sustained growth. PARECAM will seek to create the conditions for a diversified production base through economic transformation that is driven by a dynamic private sector that is expected to play a crucial role in growth and sustainable job creation. The main components of the programme are: (1) Support for budgetary sustainability and (2) Support for the Business Climate and Economic Transformation.  The main objective of the proposed programme is to contribute to the revival of inclusive and sustainable economic growth by supporting the implementation of “second generation” reforms, under NDS30. More specifically, the programme targets: (i) budgetary consolidation by supporting the dematerialisation of the tax system and improving the quality of public spending  and (ii) the structural transformation of the economy, supported by an industrialisation process driven by a dynamic private sector.  Although the Cameroon Government is the direct programme beneficiary, PARECAM will also benefit the entire population of the country. Indeed, strengthening fiscal efficiency in order to increase revenue collection, coupled with a more transparent management of public funds, will likely free up budgetary savings. These will be used to increase public services to support improvement of the living conditions of the population.

Cameroon - Public Finance Governance Support Project (PAGFIP). The Public Finance Governance Support Project (PAGFIP) stems from an in-depth diagnosis of the institutional capacity of various beneficiary structures and responds to concerns expressed by Government, which is committed to pursuing macroeconomic and structural reforms, particularly in the area of public finance, in order to establish the conditions for inclusive growth. The project is justified by the need to support Government’s efforts to tackle the challenges before the country and ensure the satisfactory implementation of NDS30. In this regard, the Bank, through this project, is focusing on building institutional and human resource capacity to provide beneficiary structures with the necessary means to carry out their respective missions. It will support the implementation of Government's comprehensive public finance reform plan by strengthening skills and putting in place coherent and effective working tools and procedures to promote increased mobilization of tax resources and efficient public spending. It will also support the Government's efforts to fight corruption, which is a major challenge for the country. The total project cost, net of taxes and customs duties, is estimated at UA 13.80 million, or CFAF 11.37 billion.  The project’s overall objective is to strengthen the institutional and organisational environment of public finance management through increased collection of tax revenue and promotion of public expenditure efficiency. The specific objectives are to: (i) improve the collection and protection of tax revenue  (ii) limit budgetary risks through the control and management of budget implementation  (iii) systematize internal and external audit and verification practices  and (iv) fight against corruption and illicit financial flows. In doing so, the project will contribute to further strengthening and consolidating national capacity in public finance management, as well as reform management and communication, focusing on human resource development and the modernisation and upgrading of working tools.  The PAGFIP project area is the entire national territory of Cameroon. The project was prepared and evaluated using a participatory approach that involved consultations with various officials of sector ministries and technical departments, as well as civil society, to best meet their needs. The main direct beneficiaries of PAGFIP are the State structures in charge of tax revenue collection, public expenditure control and the fight against corruption and illicit financial flows. The project will also benefit the civil society platform involved in the monitoring and control of public expenditure. All beneficiary structures will emerge stronger due to the procurement of appropriate working tools for their missions, high-level technical assistance and the delivery of targeted training programmes. Overall, the project will benefit the entire Cameroonian population, through the development of an institutional environment conducive to enhancing efficiency in the mobilization of tax revenue and improving programming and monitoring evaluation of public expenditure.

Cameroon - Project to Promote Entrepreneurship and Develop Skills for industrialisation (PEAC). The proposed operation concerns a EUR 63 090 000 loan to the Republic of Cameroon to finance the Project to Promote Entrepreneurship and Develop Skills for Industrialisation (PEAC). The Project is in keeping with Cameroon’s National Development Strategy 2020-2030 (SND30). Specifically, it will support the implementation of SND30’s second and third pillars which seek to (i) develop human capital and well-being  and (ii) promote employment and economic integration. Bank financing is justified by the need to support Cameroon’s strategic orientations to reduce the shortage of skilled labour in priority sectors. This financing is also and above all justified by transformative measures that help to leverage human resource investment and sustain the resulting gains. This project will be implemented in synergy with other Bank-funded operations in Cameroon. It is structured around three components: (i) Building the capacity of the national vocational training system  (ii) Promote entrepreneurship and business competitiveness  (iii) Project Coordination and Management.  The overall project objective is to develop the skills required to meet the needs of the economy and promote entrepreneurship and employment in promising sectors (construction, transport, energy, agro-industry, green trades, ICT, etc.). The project will contribute to the endogenous transformation of the Cameroonian economy by increasing workforce productivity and improving the competitiveness of the enterprises that employ the workforce. PEAC will seek to (i) build the capacity of the national vocational training system by providing material and training engineering support, as well as improving private-sector involvement in the management of beneficiary training centres, thereby improving the quality of learning and making it more market-relevant  (ii) promote entrepreneurship and productive self-employment among young people, as well as professional integration, especially in targeted growth sectors  (iii) boost business competitiveness  and (iv) build the institutional capacity of modernised technical and vocational actors. Improving the skills and employability of trained young people and women in niche jobs will help to increase their income.  The project will cover five (5) regions of Cameroon, namely the Centre, Littoral, South, South-West and Far North20 Regions. It mainly targets young people and women who are enrolled in vocational training centres or pursuing vocational education courses and looking for decent jobs or wish to start their businesses. The project is expected to benefit 7 350 young people and women undergoing vocational training/education, whose courses will be upgraded to meet market needs, and 1 225 young entrepreneurs or project owners in the five regions, who will have the opportunity to follow an incubation programme until they are ready to start their own business. Girls and women will represent 30% to 40% of project beneficiaries. Intermediate beneficiaries will be training centres (public or run by some private companies) and project incubators, as well as 400 trained or retrained vocational training actors (trainers, centre supervisors, pedagogic inspectors, etc.). The project will directly strengthen 12 training centres and 9 business support units (incubators) in the public and private sectors About 6000 general secondary, technical and higher education students will benefit from entrepreneurship awareness campaigns on a pilot basis. 400 highly vulnerable women and young people will be implemented with the help of committed partners and institutions to improve their access to agro-processing jobs.

Cameroon - Territorial Development and Private Sector promotion Project in the Far North Region. This operation concerns the Territorial Development and Private Sector promotion Project in the Far North Region. The aim of this operation is to help improve transport services in the Lake Chad Basin in general and the Far-North Region of Cameroon in particular. The rehabilitation of the Moutourwa - Maroua and Magada - Yagoua road sections, as well as the urban roads of Maroua and the other localities crossed, should lead to smoother, safer traffic and, consequently, a substantial increase in trade between Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad, particularly by linking the towns of Garoua and Maroua to the town of Bongor in southern Chad via Yagoua, using the bridge over the River Logone currently being constructed with co-financing from the Bank and the European Union. This project will thus help to resolve the problem of mobility, one of the main constraints to the development of the high potential of its impact area, particularly in the agricultural sector, and ultimately to improve the living conditions of the local population. It should help (i) promoting trade between these countries  (ii) improving traffic flow on the regional corridors between Cameroon and Chad  (iii) reducing travel times and transport costs, and improving road safety  (iv) creating conditions conducive to the optimal exploitation of the production areas identified in the region  (vi) reducing poverty and improving living conditions for the people of the region  (v) improving regional and national integration through efficient road infrastructure on the sections of these accessibility-enhancing corridors  and (vi) improving the people’s resilience to security and climatic shocks. The main components of the project are: (1) development of resilient infrastructures, (2) promotion of the private sector, (3) activities to support resilience and vulnerability and (4) project management and coordination.  The overall project objective is to contribute to regional planning, improve the transport system and promote the private sector with a view to fostering the emergence of an integrated and sustainable development hub in the FarNorth Region of Cameroon. Its sector objective is to improve the level of service on the regional corridors between Cameroon, Nigeria and Chad in order to increase trans-African trade.  The project will directly benefit the entire population of the Far-North Region of Cameroon and, more specifically, producer groups and other private sector players. Indirect beneficiaries of the project are the populations of the Lake Region (in Chad) and those of the border areas with Nigeria and Chad. The Far-North of Cameroon comprises six Divisions: Diamare, Logone-et-Chari, Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo-Sava and Mayo-Tsanaga. The region covers a total area of 34,246 km2 and forms a buffer zone between Nigeria and Chad. Its chief town is the university town of Maroua. The region has an estimated population of 4.1 million and a population density of over 90/km2, with high concentrations in the southern part of the region, including the highlands of the Mandara Mountains.

Cameroon - Project for the Construction of Oil Rig Repair Facilities in Limbe. The proposed project is part of Cameroon's industrial development policy. It aims to provide the Cameroon Shipyard and Industrial Shipyard (C.N.I.C.) with a deepwater site for the repair of oil platforms and associated vessels. Indeed, the CNIC site (based at the port of Douala) limits the arrival of ships due to the draught reduced in places to -5/-6 m. This extremely strong constraint is no longer compatible with the characteristics of many ships and has led the CNIC to look for a new site to accommodate ships and platforms wishing to carry out naval repairs. The Project includes the construction of onshore and offshore facilities for the repair of platforms and ships related to oil activities at the Cap Limboh site west of the City of Limbe, as well as the acquisition of materials and equipment. The work is planned over 30 months.  The sectoral objective of the project is to increase the share of the industrial sector in Cameroon's GDP. Its specific objective is to enable CNIC to capture a significant share of the oil platform repair market in the Gulf of Guinea area.  The CNIC as a company will be the first beneficiary of the project by significantly increasing its turnover and improving its working conditions. The other beneficiaries of the project are craft, industrial or semi-industrial enterprises already established in the region, or those to be set up whose activities will be directly or indirectly linked to those of CNIC. Further downstream and at the macroeconomic level, the other beneficiaries of the operation will be the State, whose tax revenue will eventually increase and the balance of payments will improve, on the one hand, and the people who will benefit from the employment opportunities and whose incomes will thus increase, leading to a clear improvement in their living conditions, on the other.

Cameroon - Transport Sector Support Programme Phase 1: Development of the Batchenga-Ntui-Yoko-Lena Road. This project is part of a Transport Sector Support Programme. Phase I of this road programme comprises the Batschenga-Ntui-Yoko-Lena road, which is approximately 248.6 km long. This road is a segment of national highways NH15 (Batschenga-Tibati) and NH6 (Tibati-Mambal), and provincial highway 15A (Mambal-Lewa). It runs through the Centre and Adamaoua Regions, specifically straddling the Mbam et Kim (Ntui) and Djérem (Tibati) Divisions. The development of this road is part of the Government’s efforts to channel produce from the Mbam-Sanaga agricultural basin to the main consumption centres of the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), through the Yaoundé-Ndjamena-Bangui, Yaoundé-Libreville-Bata and Yaoundé-Ouesso-Brazzaville road corridors. Apart from serving as a national road, the project road is a strategic alternative route for national and/or international traffic between the northern and southern regions of Cameroon and to Chad. Upgrading this road segment and reducing its length should therefore help to boost the competitiveness of the road, as compared to other corridors, and consolidate the status of the project area as a transit point. The works scheduled include related activities such as the development of rural roads, the rehabilitation of socioeconomic infrastructure and the promotion of business activities for women. The project also addresses the institutional support needs of the transport and urban development sectors with a view to ensuring complementarity and diversification of the Bank's operations in Cameroon. The duration of project implementation is 4 years and the total project cost is estimated at UA 333.031 million.  The project’s overall objective is to contribute to the expansion and modernization of Cameroon's road network with a view to supporting economic diversification. The project’s specific objectives are: (i) to improve conditions for transport and movement of goods and persons between Batchenga-Ntui-Yoko-Lena with a view to developing and enhancing the potential of the major Mbam-Sanaga agricultural basin  and (ii) to strengthen transport sector governance.  The main beneficiaries of the project are the 4,400,000 inhabitants of the Centre and Adamaoua Regions of Cameroon. It will also indirectly benefit comunities located in the western part of Chad, given the regional character of the project.

Congo - Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme (PAREF). The Economic and Financial Reform Support Programme (PAREF) follows ongoing dialogue with the Government and the main development partners active in Congo, including the IMF, since April 2016 against a backdrop marked by a deterioration in the country’s fiscal situation as a result of the steady decline in oil prices. The operation meets the Republic of Congo’s need to reinforce the foundations for diversified and sustainable growth. This is the first phase of a programme-based series of two General Budget Support (GBS) operations covering the 2019 and 2021 period as scheduled in the CSP to support the implementation of reforms aimed at consolidating public finance and the structural transformation of the economy. The proposed operation will also provide the Authorities with the necessary resources to cushion the financial shock caused by the recent fall in revenue following the decline in international oil prices. It will also help to facilitate the smooth execution of the national budget. The Programme is designed around three complementary components to address the following two major constraints: (I) reinforce fiscal consolidation and improve public finance management in order to restore macroeconomic stability  and (II) support economic recovery. Implementation of some reforms planned under the programme will also be supported by the Bank’s Institutional Support Project (PAGFIP) and will contribute to the deepening of reforms aimed at improving public finance governance.  PAREF’s goal is to support implementation of the Government’s Development Programme in order to create the conditions for accelerated economic growth through fiscal consolidation and economic recovery. Its specific objectives are to: (i) improve debt and fiscal risk management  (ii) improve revenue collection and make the oil sector less risky  (iii) speed up economic recovery by improving the investment climate, ensuring access to financing and diversifying growth sources through SEZ development.  PAREF will benefit the Congolese population on the whole by providing a higher level of public resources and by streamlining expenditure and specific reforms aimed at supporting strong, diversified and job-creating growth. It will benefit the following groups: (i) vulnerable communities that will benefit from improved infrastructure and high quality social services because of the fiscal headroom that will be created by the PAREF-backed reforms, (ii) Congolese entrepreneurs and foreign investors wishing to start a business or invest in the context of the arrears clearance process and a more attractive business climate.

Congo - Governance and Economic Diversification Support Programme (PAGDE) - Phase I. The Governance and Economic Diversification Support Programme (PAGDE) is a project that will support Congo's efforts to stabilise the macro-economic and budget framework with a view to building its resilience to shocks and diversifying the economy in preparation for the post-oil era. Hence, it will support the Government in laying the foundation for inclusive and sustainable growth, while limiting any negative impact on climate. Accordingly, it intends to support measures that help to improve governance and efficiency in the management of public resources, create enabling conditions for the development of private investment, and support the "sustainable" exploitation of natural resources (gas and forestry sectors) such that they become a vector for inclusive growth and the development of productive sectors. PAGDE has two (2) components: (i) Improving economic and budgetary governance  and (ii) Economic diversification and “sustainable” valuation of natural resources (gas, forests, etc.). The Programme will focus on establishing an economic and regulatory framework conducive to private investment by: (i) stabilizing the macroeconomic framework  (ii) maintaining fiscal sustainability  and (iii) enhancing governance and reinforcing anti-corruption measures. The programme will also support economic diversification and efforts towards combating climate change by: (i) developing the forestry sector  (ii) establishing a regulatory framework for the gas sector  and (iii) reforming the energy sector.  The programme aims to build the resilience of Congo’s economy and reduce its vulnerability to oil revenue fluctuations by enhancing economic governance, diversifying sources of growth, and strengthening competitiveness. In other words, the project aims to maintain a stable macroeconomic framework, strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of Congo’s economy, and reduce its vulnerability to external shocks, including climatic ones. The first component seeks to enhance economic management by focusing on public investment efficiency and modernising the governance of public enterprises, while the second aims to promote the diversification of Congo’s economy and productive sectors by strengthening competitiveness factors and developing hitherto under-exploited natural resources.  The direct beneficiaries of Governance and Economic Diversification Support Programme (PAGDE) are the ministries in charge of economic and energy issues, which will be supported in implementing their reforms. The private sector will also benefit from an improved business environment and better energy supply. PAGDE will indirectly benefit all the citizens of Congo, who will have more opportunities to create businesses, better access to energy and increased social measures thanks to the rationalization and better targeting of spending. Health and quality of life should also improve as GHG emissions fall.

Congo - The Agriculture Sector Study (ASS). The Agriculture Sector Study (ASS) was designed because of the lack of reliable information on the potential and constraints suffering from the Congolese agricultural and rural sector, making it difficult to properly formulate a coherent, medium- and long term agricultural development plan, as well as strategies to achieve it. The proposed study should update the basic data of the different sub-sectors, and prepare agricultural land use capability maps to allow for rational planning of future interventions based on reliable information. It should deepen the strategic analyses made during preparation of previous planning documents. The study should also help to clarify previous medium and long-term priority interventions in the agricultural and rural sector, as well as identify and assess the feasibility of priority development actions that will be presented according to theme. Based on the results of the surveys, existing documentation and strategic analysis of the sector, an Agricultural Sector Development Master Plan (ASDMP), including annexes for agriculture, livestock, fisheries, aquaculture and the environment, and a National Priority Agricultural Sector Rehabilitation and Development Program (NASRDP) will be prepared.  The sector goal of the study is to contribute to the improvement of food security in the country. Specifically, the study aims at preparing a medium and long-term Agriculture Sector Development Master Plan (ASDMP) and a National Agricultural Sector Rehabilitation and Development Program (NASRDP) comprising priority actions to be implemented by sub-sector
and by Department to boost financing of the sector with the support of donors.  The beneficiaries of the project are the Congolese State and the populations of the twelve departments covered by the project.

Congo - Multi-Resource Forest Inventory for Preparation of a Land Allocation Plan. The Multi-Resource Forest Inventory for Preparation of a Land Allocation Plan aims to provide the State with necessary information to sustainably manage its forest heritage and incorporate it in national economic planning. It's initiated because despite the size of Congo’s forestry sector (forest cover estimated at 22.5 million hectares, approximately 2/3 of the total area), no exhaustive forest resource inventory has been conducted to date. The existing data is incomplete, unreliable, fragmented, and dispersed among various players and national institutions. This situation impedes strategic planning of the forestry sector and an assessment of its economic, social and environmental impact. Environmentally, it will allow for a thorough assessment of forest resources, land occupation and use. Therefore, it offers an opportunity to reformulate the national forestry policy and its related strategies to guarantee sustainable forest management and conservation. The project is scheduled to take thirty months (or two and a half years) for a total cost evaluated at EUR 2,915,880. The project comprises four components, namely: (i) forest management and sustainable practice  (ii) ecological and socio-economic monitoring and baseline data  (iii) Carbon market benefits and ecosystem service payments  and (iv) project management.  The general objective of the project is to contribute to the sustainable management and use of Congo’s forest ecosystems and improved well-being of the local population. Specifically, the project will help to: (i) build knowledge on the national forestry resource  and (ii) better protect and allocate land to boost agricultural productivity.  The project’s direct beneficiaries are mainly forest resource information users and actors, natural resource managing sectors, the local population, associations, NGOs, the private sector and international partners. Other direct beneficiaries comprise categories of persons who will supply temporary labour, namely: 100 Geographic Information System (GIS) operators  200 technicians/team leaders and 4,500 inventory takers. Congo’s entire population estimated at 3.8 million (2007 census) will be the final project beneficiaries, thanks to good forestry sector planning, rational and sustainable use. The project will indirectly benefit the Central African region and the entire planet due to the role played by Congo Basin forests in curbing climate change.

The Brazzaville and Pointe Noire Sanitation Project addresses a major concern aimed at strengthening access to sanitation and promoting hygiene and Government’s intention to ensure sustainable and equitable human development, and enhance the people’s living condition. It stems from the Brazzaville and Pointe Noire Drinking Water and Sanitation Rehabilitation Study financed in 2007 by the African Water Facility (AWF). The project should contribute to the development of sanitation infrastructure and an overhaul of the sanitation sector and strengthen Government and donors’ action in the water supply sub-sector. The project should help: (i) improve sustainable access to sanitation  (ii) improve health conditions and hygiene-related behaviour  and (iii) protect the environment from pollution. The project is estimated to cost UA 21 million, net of taxes, including physical and financial contingencies. The project comprises four (4) components: (A) sanitation infrastructure development  (B) development of IEC programmes, studies and works monitoring, and supervision  (C) institution building  and (D) support to the Project Implementation Unit.  The project's goal is to ensure sustainable access to water and sanitation to improve the socioeconomic and health conditions of Congo’s population. Its objective is to contribute to increasing sanitation infrastructure and improving hygiene in Brazzaville and Pointe Noire.  The project cover the cities of Brazzaville and Pointe Noire. About 100,000 additional persons should be served by family latrines in the two cities and 700,000 should benefit from stormwater drainage facilities in Pointe Noire. The combined 1.9 million population of both cities should benefit from IEC campaigns, public latrines and excreta treatment plants.

Congo - Reinforcement of Brazzaville's drinking water supply. Augmentation de la capacité d'adduction de Brazzaville par la création de nouvelles installations de captage, de transport de stockage et de distribution d'eau à partir de la rivière DJIRI et permettre la couverture des besoins à l'horizon 1990.

Congo - Studies for the development of drinking water supply and sanitation systems in 5 semi-urban centers, and for strengthening the operational capacities of the water sector development fund (EDSAEPA/RC-FDSE). The present studies consist of the preparation of drinking water supply and sanitation system feasibility files (SAEPA) in five semi-urban centers (CSU) and the development of tools for strengthening the operational capacities of the Water Sector Development Fund (FDSE) to provide a sustainable funding tool for achievements in the RWSS sector. These five CSUs are Bouansa, Makabana, Boundji, Mouyondzi and Kidamba. This project was initiated in view of the low rate of access of the population to drinking water and sanitation services, health and environmental problems that are acute in these centers, from the constraint of the lack of feasibility files and the classification of Congo in a fragile African country. In addition, these studies should contribute to green growth in Congo by preparing feasibility projects for the construction of sustainable infrastructure, better management of natural resources and strengthening the resilience of households and economic activities in the face of climate shocks. They should be executed, over a period of 24 months, in three consecutive phases: i) establishment of the strategic plans for RWSS  ii) drafting of preliminary designs and feasibility study  and iii) detailed pre-project studies.  The long-term goal of the project is to contribute to the provision of sustainable drinking water and sanitation services in five CSUs by 2025, with the intermediate objective of achieving the MDGs for water and sanitation by 2015. The objective of the study is to provide the Government with the corresponding project preparation documents, developed at the detailed design level.  The immediate final beneficiaries are the Government and the municipalities of the five Center Semi-Urbain (CSU) and potentially, the populations of the 5 CSUs (estimated at more than 35 000) that are selected for this project.

Burundi - The Watershed Management Project (PABV). The Watershed Management Project (PABV) is the result of the analysis of forest and environmental problems with populations, exacerbated by the drought which has hit the North-eastern part of the country for some time. It was designed based on lessons learned from the implementation of previous projects financed by the Bank (Bukirasazi reforestation project and Bututsi agro-pastoral project) and other partners such as FAO, IFAD, German Cooperation and Belgian Cooperation. These projects aims at developing the strategic options of sustainable use of land and rational management of community-based resources to decrease the phenomenon of erosion, reduce pressure on the resources and make the population benefit from the incomes which it could draw from the implementation of the activities. It implementation will help build national capacities in sustainable management of forest and pastoral resources through the training of 2,000 smallholders in agroforestry and erosion control, study trips for 50 smallholders, the sensitization and supervision of 46,800 smallholders in agroforestry activities, development of fodder species and diversification of production in their holdings. The project focuses on four components, namely: capacity building, conservation and improvement of resources, improvement of agro-silvo-pastoral production and the management of the project.  The sector goal of the project is to contribute to food security by restoring the soil, which is the productive capital. More specifically, the project aims at protecting the watersheds, increasing forestry and agro-livestock production and increasing rural incomes in the project area.  The project beneficiaries are the rural dwellers, in particular women in the provinces covered, generally made up of producer groups and associations working in State and community plantations or individual smallholders working on their farms. The population that would be directly affected by the activities of the project is approximately 150,000 households. However, the actions of the project will indirectly affect almost the entire population of the project area, in particular through the protection of bare hillsides, the various plantations, the opening and maintenance of tracks and fire-breaks, the restoration of the pastures, the intensification of agriculture by diversifying production, the promotion of agro-forestry, market-gardening and bee-keeping.

Burundi - Bukirasasazi Forest Project. The Bukirasasazi Reforestation Project is part of the Government's strategy to meet the food and energy needs of the population. It aims to satisfy the growing demand for wood, protect the environment and produce wood on site, thus saving the currency used to import this good. The project should allow the integration of multi-use trees and shrubs into the family farm. In addition, it should contribute to the protection and improvement of natural pastures through the creation of paddock hedges in rangelands. The project has several components, namely: (i) State and communal development  (ii) rural forestry and agroforestry  (iii) equipment and materials  (iv) buildings and tracks  (v) technical assistance  (vi) local staff  (vii) training and (viii) operations.  The project aims to improve the national level of self-sufficiency in forest products, which are the country's main source of energy, and to meet the local needs of the population for timber, fuelwood and service wood  and to contribute to the protection of the environment and the conservation of natural resources in water and soil, which are essential for the country's agricultural development.  The project should benefit not only the populations of the Bukirasasazi commune in Gitega province but also the entire Burundian population.

Multinational - The Bugesera Integrated Rural Development Project (A PPF to Burundi). Considérée hier comme grenier des deux pays en denrées alimentaires (haricot,
sorgho, maïs…) et comme grande zone d’élevage, la région du Bugesera connait depuis
quelques années, un problème d’insécurité alimentaire notoire. Suite à une démographie
galopante et aux besoins croissants en terres arables les forêts naturelles ont été
systématiquement détruites laissant libre court à des érosions intenses. Les terres des collines
emportées par les eaux de ruissellement se déversent dans les lacs et provoquent leur
envasement. Ces trois éléments (déforestation, érosion et envasement des lacs), auxquels
s’ajoutent l’irrégularité et l’insuffisance des pluies, concourent à la diminution des
productions aussi bien agricoles, animales qu’halieutiques. Des famines chroniques et se sont
déclarées dans le Bugesera et le niveau de vie des populations s’est fortement dégradé.
Aujourd’hui 60% de la population dans la zone vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté. Cette
situation peut s’aggraver de manière irréversible si des mesures d’aménagement et de
protection des sols ne sont pas prises rapidement.  L’objectif sectoriel du Projet est la réduction de la pauvreté dans la région du Bugesera.
L’objectif spécifique du Projet est l’augmentation durable de la production agricole et
l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations de la région du Bugesera.  Population de Bugesera

Serbia Public Expenditure and Public Utilities DPL 1. The objective of this two-operation programmatic DPL is to support the government of Serbia's fiscal consolidation program through structural reforms aimed at public utilities and the public sector more generally.Serbia's growing public debt poses a threat to macroeconomic stability. The debt has grown rapidly principally due to high fiscal deficits (which have grown from 2.6 percent of GDP at the start of the economic crisis to around 6.7 percent of GDP in 2014) but also due to high state support to public utilities and SOEs. There is an urgent need to put public finances on a sustainable footing via, among others, tackling the structural issues - in particular reducing the ineffective direct state subsidies and guarantees - that have often been called -- for public utilities operating in energy (EPS), roads and railways. A sustainable reduction of the subsidies and state guarantees to these SOEs in turn requires reforms to make them financially viable and operationally effective.The government recognizes the need to tackle these structural issues. Fiscal consolidation and improved expenditure management are at the core of both the Fiscal Strategy and the National Economic Reform Program, which include the stabilization of the debt-to-GDP ratio by the end of 2017, the completion of privatization and a stop to the issuance of guarantees for liquidity purposes to the remaining SOEs.

Gambia Emergency DPO. Project Development Objective (Note: will be disclosed in the MOS)The Gambia is in a precarious economic and political situation. The change of political leadership following the swearing-in of President Barrow constitutes an unprecedented opportunity for the people of Gambia, and for its policymakers to embark on a reform process to restore fiscal and external sustainability and lay the groundwork for a robust economic recovery. This first transfer of power through a democratic process since independence is predicted to yield noticeable political and economic dividends especially as diplomatic isolation has been lifted.  The new authorities face a number of challenges. In addition to the need to assure rapid reconciliation among political and ethnic groups, the new government must confront severe legacy economic problems â with a fiscal deficit for 2017 predicted to be 10%, 112% of debt to GDP, debt service absorbing half of all revenues, and less than one month of reserves â the economic situation is dire.  The ability of the new administration to deliver and show results is critical to ensuring a smooth transition and the World Bank can play a critical role.

President-elect Barrow called for a close collaboration with donors, especially the WBG, and asked for the Bank assistance in shaping the economic recovery program of his administration. During a subsequent mission, the Minister of Finance confirmed the new governmentâs request for an emergency DPO that could both provide urgent relief, support critical fiscal consolidation, while protecting the poor and vulnerable and laying the groundwork for a robust economic recovery.  
The overall objective of the emergency Development Policy Financing is to support a return to macroeconomic stability, boost economic recovery and mitigate social impacts of the crisis.

First Development Policy Loan. This is the first in a proposed series of two development policy loans supporting Poland's goal of strengthening public finances. The proposed DPL program is central to the Bank's engagement in the country in the area of public finance reform, as described in theCountry Partnership Strategy Progress Report (CPSPR) presented to the Board on June 7, 2011. The CPSPR highlights that the DPL program is expected to support Poland's fiscal consolidation agenda, while strengthening fiscal institutions and improving the efficiency and sustainability of social spending. 
The programmatic DPL is structured around three pillars with the following development objectives: (i) consolidating public finances to ensure a steady decline of the fiscal deficit to stabilize and over the medium-term reduce public debt to maintain favorable access to financial markets  (ii) strengthening fiscal institutions through the introduction of fiscal rules to ingrain a prudent fiscal stance over the medium term  and (iii) advancing long-term fiscal reforms to secure the sustainability of social spending in view of Poland's demographic challenge. The measures proposed to be supported under each pillarare as follows:  
Pillar 1 Consolidating Public Finances: Sizable fiscal consolidation is a key policy priority for 2012.  Buildingon the progress made in 2011, a further reduction in the fiscal deficit is crucial to adhere to Poland's commitment under the Excessive Deficit Procedure, to stay clear of the 55 percent of GDP national public debt limit, and to protect priority spending.
Pillar 2 Strengthening Fiscal Institutions: Through the introduction of fiscal rules, the Government aims to ensure that once the fiscal deficit has come down after the initial consolidation process, it remains at prudent levels over the business cycle. The Government plans to introduce controls on local government finances in the form of an annual aggregate deficit ceiling. In addition, a new national level fiscal rule would limit the growth of national government expenditures to a rate not exceeding the trend growth rate of GDP. These rules would safeguard against the re-emergence of excessive structural budget deficits in the medium and long term.
Pillar 3Advancing Long-Term Fiscal Reforms: Strengthening public finances also requires Poland to initiate structural reforms across various sectors. These reforms are focused on helping to secure the sustainability of pension transfers and public health care services, while improving the coverage and generosity of social assistance for the most vulnerable. In addition, introducing a regular income accounting for farmers will enable moving to a system of regular taxation of the agriculture sector based on income, including for the payment all social insurance contributions over the medium term.  
These policies aim to enhance Poland's economic resilience in the face of adverse times. These policies also aim at protecting fiscal space for key growth-enhancing investments.

First Tranche of the Umbrella Carbon Facility. TO PROVIDE THE VEHICLE FOR THE WORLD BANK TO ACT AS A TRUSTEE FOR of new funds within this new Umbrella Carbon Facility dedicated for the purchase of emission reductions from large projects (with emission reduction purchase exceeding 10 million TCO2 with value exceeding $ 50 million). Most existing World Bank carbon funds have limitation of size of projects or have portfolio limits on country and sectoral exposure. These restrict the ability to undertake large Clean Development Mechan ism (CDM) and Joint implementation (JI) of the Kyoto Protocol projects within the existing fund structure. And even in cases where the buy orders from the individual World Bank carbon funds can be aggregated to purchase all the emission reductions, it appears desirable to aggregate the purchase and write on ERPA (emission reductions purchase agreement) rather than individual ERPAs with the project for each carbonfund. Implementing large project wouldbe simplified by a fund aggregating instrument which would aggregate multiple buy-orders to purchase emission reductions from single large projects or programs.

Client-executed project preparation activities were also supplemented by GEF and NBTF-financed grants to ENTRO for watershed management and other IDEN activities.   Some projects, such as the Power Trade studies, where supported bilaterally by other Partners (i.e., AfDB). The IDEN Facilitation supported Bank staff (Bank, co-term, etc) and consultants, and related expenses (travel, workshops, technical consultancies, etc), required to facilitate dialogue and build consensus among the EN countries, assist in institutional development of ENTRO, and to support and review project preparation activities.  An integrated approach was required in the early years, the historic tensions among these countries, the need to build harmonized project preparation approaches for this new entity, and riparian preference. 2.    Why the code was closed As ENTRO matured and project preparation activities advanced, a decision was made to 'spin -off' IDEN 'subprojects' as individual projects, with individual preparation and/or lending codes.  As projects were ready and alternative funding mechanisms were put in place, all IDEN projects were 'spun off.' This included separate codes for investment oriented projects (and associated project preparation related activities), as well as for institutional strengthening (and associated 'facilitation' and institutional strengthening activities).  The IDEN Facilitation code was last used in FY05.

Multi Donor Trust Fund for Africa Catalytic Growth. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ACGF ARE TO ADDRESS THREE TYPES OF SITUATION
 
 (a) Opportunities to support programs in high performing countries to enable them to break growth constraints, for example, by entry into new export activities. In the presence of such constraints, the returns on investment may well increase with a large but temporary increase in aid. These returns would not be achieved with aid at a smaller, sustained level.
 
 (b) Support for transformation countries, where there is recent demonstrable, sustained commitment to decisive reform based in parton strong political leadership, but critical limitations in the capacity and available resources to implement it. In such situations, timely financial and/or technical assistance can have very high payoffs.
 
 (c) Supporting regional integration initiatives that represent a clear opportunity to supply multi-country public goods. The factthat Africa is divided into far more countries than other regions in the world makes the under-provision of regional public goods uniquely severe.
 
 Each of these uses of aid is expected to generate high payoffs. But they also require a rapid and concentrated injection of development finance beyond that provided by IDA's PBA system. The ACGF would address such opportunities, while maintaining coun try ownership. In short, the ACGF would be a complement to and not a substitute for IDA.

Second Tranche of the Umbrella Carbon Facility. The Umbrella Carbon Facility (UCF) is a flexible instrument used to  aggregate the purchase of carbon offsets for a group of buyers. The  proposed second tranche of the Umbrella Carbon Facility (UCF T2) is  intended to purchase emission reductions (ERs) produced after 2012  from a bundle of projects that have existing purchase agreements  with  a group of Kyoto-based Carbon Funds (CF), including the Spanish CF,  the Danish CF, the Netherlands Clean Development Mechanism Facility,  the Italian CF, the Carbon Fund for Europe, the Community Development  CF and the Prototype CF. It is expected that the UCF T2 will  complement the Bank-managed Kyoto Carbon Funds in two ways. Some  project entities are hesitant to sign an ERPA with the existing Carbon  Funds because the volume that can be purchased under the existing  funds may not be sufficiently high enough.  For many of these  projects, a longer term revenue stream would be necessary to make them  viable. In some cases, project entities that already entered into  ERPAs with the existing Carbon Funds have been unable to generate the  expected pre-2013 ERs due to delays in the UN registration process.   The existing Carbon Funds are in the process of reducing down the  ERPA commitments with these project entities.  Post-2012 purchases  from the UCF T2 will help address concerns raised by project entities  resulting from the reduction in the amount of ERs committed to be  purchased as a result of such delays.

Cities Alliance Italian NonCore Grant for the Brazil: Bahia Poor Urban Areas Technical and Methodological Assistance Project (PAT). The general objective of the proposed Project is to contribute through technical and methodological support to the State Governmentof Bahia to the successful implementation of the Viver Melhor II Program, which aims to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner, and ensure the replication of the area- based, integrated and participatory methodology developed in the Ribeira Azul Program. An IBRD loan for the Viver Melhor/BIRD project will be part of the Viver Melhor II Program, which aims to upgrade slums through the state.
 
 As regards its specific objectives, the TA project aims to:
 Specific objective 1. To support the Government of the State of Bahia in strategic aspects for the implementation of the Viver Melhor/BIRD Project, in the project areas of Ribeira Azul/Cobre and Pitua?u in Salvador, and Malhado, in the Municipality of Ilh?us.
 Specific Objective 2. To support the Government of the State of Bahia in the definition and adoption of public policy with respect to urban and housing development and poverty reduction, based on principles of inter-sectoral integration and community participation.  

CA Brazil- Bahia Urban Dev Program-PAT. The strategy of intervention of PAT to achieve the proposed objective is based on the experience of the technical assistance given to the Ribeira Azul Program. This previous experience has represented a laboratory of operational procedures and approaches to meet the growing social and economic demands of the urban poor, guiding the preparation of a large scale intervention such as the Viver Melhor / BIRD Program.  It is the government's intention to replicate, through PAT, the integrated, participatory and area-based methodology applied in the Ribeira Azul Program. PAT consists of Technical Assistance to SEDUR and CONDER for the implementation of Viver Melhor / BIRD. The institutional arrangement utilized by the Ribeira Azul Technical and Social Assistance Project (PATS) contributed to strengthening the relationship between the Government of Bahia, the Italian Government, the World Bank and the Cities Alliance. Moreover, it influenced the Italian Government's decision to support the State of Bahia in the implementation of a large scale program, Viver Melhor/BIRD. The Ribeira Azul TA project also influenced the institutional design of the new project and enabled the formation of a group of professionals with experience and skills in planning, coordinating and executing physical and social actions, which will be able to provide technical and methodological assistance for scaling up slum upgrading under Viver Melhor/BIRD. In the framework of the Viver Melhor/BIRD Program that was prepared by the state government, a new institutional arrangement is being proposed. In order to implement a multi-sector Program, the proposed arrangement details the organization of SEDUR and CONDER and the functions of each institution involved in the implementation of the Program. The arrangement covers three organizational levels: i) the strategic level  ii) the executive and operational coordination level  and, iii) the local coordination and execution level. Figure 1 shows how the technical assistance project (PAT) will relate to the proposed institutional arrangement for the overall program. As in the Ribeira Azul PATS, the Italian NGO AVSI will assume technical and administrative responsibility for the funds and will be co-responsible, together with SEDUR/CONDER, for the methodology and administration of the Technical and Methodological Assistance Project (PAT). The interventions to benefit from the support of this Technical Assistance Project will be in project areas in the cities of Salvador (Ribeira Azul/Cobre and PituaÃ§u) and IlhÃ©us (Malhado). In each project area at least one field office will be set up to be a visible reference point for support and dialogue with the residents of the intervention area. The office, housed in a facility called "Casa do Viver Melhor",  will serve as the coordination facility for the program and daily contact with the residents will facilitate continuous dialogue. The technicians in the office will be well-placed to familiarize themselves with the problems faced by the community, gathering information about the doubts and difficulties related to the Viver Melhor/BIRD Program and the availability and quality of other public services. To manage actions in the Ribeira Azul/Cobre project area, CONDER and AVSI will continue the successful experience of the PRA, with the co-management based on joint technical and methodological responsibility for the implementation and management of the development actions to be financed by Viver Melhor/BIRD. In the PituaÃ§u and Malhado project areas, CONDER will be responsible for management and will contract consulting companies for the planning and implementation of the work. The technical assistance project will provide support to CONDER throughout the project cycle. Regarding the social actions, executing agencies will be contracted (NGOs and/or companies selected competitively), with their work supervised with the support of AVSI. The requirements identified in each field office will be presented to the Executive and the Steering Committees - comprising project agencies and departments of the state government and the municipalities. The field office will become a key communication link between the community and the government and, as such, will contribute to the development of the particular project area. However, to ensure effective participation, information concerning the project needs to be made available so that resident groups and families can familiarize themselves with the project being implemented and be in a better position to discuss with the participating agencies. The urban and housing designs and plans, social plans and reports therefore will be made available for public consultation at the field office. As in the case of Ribeira Azul, the Viver Melhor/BIRD Program will institutionalize community representation channels. The plan for Viver Melhor/BIRD is to increase the level of participation through a Local Development Forum consisting of representatives from the Steering Committee (SEDUR, CONDER, DGCS, Cities Alliance), the World Bank, the municipalities, AVSI, the managing agency for the social programs, together with local residents and CBO's. At least one Forum will be set up in each project area, in which the actions related to the planning and implementation of the project will be discussed on a regular basis. The Forum will thus provide an ideal venue for dialogue between the Project's coordinators and the beneficiaries. In addition to the Project activities in Bahia described above, the World Bank/ Cities Alliance task teams will manage two further activities: an independent monitoring & evaluation of the Project and the preparation and dissemination of information about the Project. It is envisaged that these activities will be financed separately through a $250,000 contribution that is sought from the Cities Alliance Core Fund. The independent monitoring & evaluation activities will continue and complement the work undertaken in the Ribeira Azul Program and during the preparation of VM/BIRD by the World Bank project team and a team from the University of Trento, Italy. This will include input from the World Bank in ensuring the technical rigor of the monitoring and evaluation under the project. The project includes a comprehensive M&E scheme that includes a framework for monitoring and evaluation, detailed outline of institutional arrangements, costs, indicators, and data collection instruments.  Monitoring will be carried out on a regular basis, with longer-term impacts to be evaluated for a sample of communities at three points in time following Project implementation.  The M&E system is designed to focus on capturing direct benefits in the selected communities. This plan is linked to a broader World Bank initiative - Development Impact Evaluation (DIME), aimed at increasing the number of Bank projects with impact evaluation components in particular strategic areas and themes, including urban upgrading.  Through the link with DIME, the methodological approaches and innovations from carrying out impact evaluations in the Bahia Integrated Urban Development Project as well as similar projects in other countries will be shared, along with the lessons learned on the longer term impacts of integrated urban upgrading on poverty reduction. The knowledge dissemination activities will be used to help enable the national government and state and local governments in Brazil and elsewhere to promote integrated social and physical interventions for the reduction of urban poverty.

Procurement of pyrolysis equipment to improve air quality in Penebel Village, Bali. Penebel Village is a rural municipality in the province of Bali, which launched a municipal solid waste processing plant in 2020. This currently disposes of most of its waste through open burning, which has a significant impact on local air quality and does not allow for further recycling of the incinerated materials. 

The procurement of pyrolysis equipment should make it possible to convert a large part of the waste, which is currently still burned openly, into gasoline. On the one hand, this should considerably improve the air quality on site, and on the other hand, the resulting gasoline should be used to create a reserve for the community in order to provide the villagers with the possibility of cooking, heating and similar activities even during the frequent power and gas outages, and to enable the controlled combustion of the waste that cannot be otherwise recycled without the need to purchase additional fuel. Due to a lack of expertise in the field of pyrolysis, GIZ Jakarta was consulted, which confirmed the suitability of the equipment to be procured for the project objective.

Election coverage Lebanon. Well informed via Messenger. The parliamentary elections scheduled for May 2022 give the people of Lebanon hope for profound change and an end to the most severe political and economic crisis since the end of the civil war.

Thus, voters cannot make an election decision based on solid information. The project starts with independent, local digital media. It qualifies their staff to provide reliable election coverage via messenger services that have a high reach among media users.

Multisectoral protection measures for children and adolescents in the central Sahel against violence, acute malnutrition and poverty. The humanitarian measures of this project aim to strengthen the protection and food security of children and adolescents at risk as well as vulnerable households in the three countries of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger in the central Sahel zone. Child protection is to be strengthened through improved access to emergency services for children at risk and / or affected by child protection violations including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). At the same time, an improvement in the capacities and functionality of the emergency services and community-based protective structures is the result of this project. Access to the emergency services is improved in particular through the establishment of mobile units that operate at the community level and can thus also reach remote villages. The mobile units are supported by child protection structures established, revitalized and trained by the project, for example through awareness-raising campaigns on the subject of child protection and SGBV. In addition, existing local emergency services are being strengthened, and child protection zones as well as children's and youth clubs are being set up and equipped. Parents and legal guardians of children and adolescents at risk are involved in the project activities through self-help groups and made aware of child protection and SGBV. In addition, unaccompanied and separated children (USK) are transferred to temporary foster families and reunification with their biological parents is supported. Furthermore, religious / traditional authorities are mobilized, sensitized and actively involved in the activities. In order to improve the nutritional situation of children under 5 years of age (<5 years) who suffer from severe and moderate acute malnutrition, on the one hand access to emergency services is facilitated by the mobile units. On the other hand, the capacities of the municipalities and emergency services that offer treatments for acutely undernourished children <5 years will be strengthened. In order to sustainably improve the nutritional situation of the identified children, households at risk are supported by cash transfers and special foods, as well as by income-generating measures that have a direct impact on livelihood. The aim of this is to give vulnerable households the means they need to independently improve their immediate nutritional situation. In both areas, community structures are also being revitalized, established and trained to ensure the prevention, identification and appropriate referral of child protection and malnutrition cases. They also have the task of making communities aware of child protection and malnutrition. In addition, the staff of the local health facilities are trained and equipped for the prevention and treatment of child protection and malnutrition cases: for example, in child-friendly and trustworthy handling of SGBV cases, good nutritional practices for infants and young children in emergency situations or the quality of breastfeeding advice for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers (including adolescent mothers). This improves the interaction between the two sectors through positive interactions and improves the cooperation between community structures and emergency services. The humanitarian measures described are supplemented by structure-building, development-oriented and peace-building measures through a linked project of the “Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung” (BMZ). The project thus contributes to the operationalization of the Humanitarian Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus in the central Sahel zone. The aim is to address the complex challenges and needs of the population groups in the central Sahel region particularly affected by the crisis at various levels

Completion and Maintenance of Facilities at Marol Academy. The Marol Academy is an activist organization that debates and advocates for improved educational policy and for increased budget to make education equitable for all social groups in South Sudan. It is also an educational institution with two schools under it, one at Marol village that has been running for 15 years, and the other, a much newer one at Pinydit, that only open its doors as a secondary school in 2021. Both schools are in Warrab state in the center of the country. Both have emphasis on girls’ education, as an effort to both bridge the gender gap in access to quality education that has persisted since the founding of the new state of South Sudan  and to make the case for the role of education in nation-building. We see girls’ education as both a matter of equity and empowerment for girls and women, but also a major vehicle for pushing the nation ahead in terms of unity, collective belonging, development in the field health, hygiene, poverty reduction and political visibility for women on a national stage. Both schools have the motto “a girls’ school that also takes boy,” to drive home that they have emphasis on the project of ensuring that girls stay in school and develop their skills, at least up to high school, but also to encourage them to attend university and technical colleges. The current application is to solicit funding for completion of a new facility and to maintain the existing structures. This application is only for the Marol School. At Marol, there are 9 buildings, 3 of them were built in 2008 and require a bit of maintenance and furniture.
