Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa

<p>The proposed project road is one of the six (6) international trunk routes connecting Zimbabwe with the neighbouring countries of Botswana and South Africa Overall, it is intended that the proposed intervention will reduce travel costs for road users as well as maintenance costs for the Government. A major objective is to help improve road safety conditions for international and regional traffic and for local residents</p>

<p>The project road starts from the Bulawayo Main Post Office and ends at the intersection* with the Masvingo road about 4 km north of the international border area. The approximate limits of the subject Project road are indicated in Map.</p>

<p>The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD ) formerly known as the Millennium Dam and sometimes referred to as Hidase Dam, is a gravity dam on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia currently under construction. It is in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia, about 40 km east of the border with Sudan. At 6,000 MW, the dam will be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa when completed, as well as the 8th largest in the world. The reservoir at 72&Acirc; billion cubic meters will be one of the continent's largest. According to the Ethiopian government, as of June&Acirc; &Acirc; 2017, the Dam is 60% complete.</p>

<p>Construction of a transmission line (580 km / 500 kV) that connects the power networks of Ethiopia and Sudan to facilitate trading in electricity and promote power systems stability. The interconnector will have a transmission capacity of 3000 MW.</p>
<p>The Project also includes two new, 500kV capacitated substations at Rabak and Jebel Aulia (both in Sudan), and power line bay&Acirc; extensions at the following existing substations: Grand Renaissance (500kV Ethiopia), Rabak&Acirc; (220kV, Sudan) and Jebel Aulia (220kV, Sudan).&Acirc; </p>
<p>Construction of a 500kV transmission line and the associated substations that connects the power networks of Ethiopia and Sudan to facilitate trading in electricity and promote power systems stability. The line will be 580 km in total, 564 km in Sudan, terminating in Khartoum, 16 km in Ethiopia, terminating at the Grand Renaissance Dam. The Project also includes two new, 500 kV capacitated substations at Rabak and Jebel Aulia (both in Sudan), and power line bay extensions at the following existing substations: Grand Renaissance (500kV Ethiopia), Rabak (220kV, Sudan) and Jebel Aulia (220kV, Sudan).</p>
<p>It is expected that the project would assist the two partners to obtain the following specific benefits: to promote power system stability in the countries concerned; to promote energy connectivity among the countries by assisting them to integrate their respective networks and thereby develop ability for building larger power projects to meet larger regional markets; to develop ability to negotiate better terms for procurement of power equipment and technical assistance; to reduce the cost of power in both countries; in the long term, complete integration of the power systems in Egypt and Sudan; and to create productive employment and economic development across the borders. The main objectives of the project include provision of transmission capacity to cater for grid interconnection between Egypt and Sudan, provision of transmission infrastructure to cater for future grid interconnections to other countries, promotion of regional cooperation through sharing of power generation resources and facilitation of rural electrification and improve the standard of living for the population in project areas</p>

<p>The AXIS Project aims to facilitate the development of an African internet infrastructure through policy and regulatory reform, capacity building and technical assistance. Development of an African internet infrastructure refers to the establishment of regional internet exchange points (IXPs) and internet carriers.</p>

Development of an African internet infrastructure refers to the establishment of regional internet exchange points (IXPs) and internet carriers.</p>

<p>The AXIS Project is being implemented through two phases. Phase I consists of capacity building to support the establishment of national IXPs through providing a series of two workshops for stakeholders and the Internet Service Provider Association (ISPA) on  I) best practice and benefits of IXP and II) technical assistance through workshops which will cover the technical and administrative skills needed to set up, operate, and administer an IXP.</p>

<p>Phase II focuses on supporting establishment of Regional IXP and Regional Internet Carrier through provisioning Capacity building workshops on best practice and benefits of setting up RIXP/IC and providing technical assistance.</p>

<p>The AXIS Project is a flagship project of the African Regional Action Plan on Knowledge Economy (ARAPKE) endorsed by the African Union Executive Council. </p>

VICMED Project is a multimodal transport project to link Lake Victoria and the Mediterranean Sea. The project aims to connect countries via an environmentally friendly, relatively low-cost transport route that is safe, secure, and energy efficient. It supports trade, tourism, and regional integration while providing access to international seas and boosting economic development. The project was launched by the Egyptian Government and NEPAD Agency in 2013. Phases include Pre-Feasibility, Feasibility Study 1 (2019), and upcoming Phase 2 studies.
