<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>

<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>

Expansion of Pointe Noire Port (Republic of Congo).

<p>The Ouesso-Bangui-Ndjamena road is a link in the Pointe Noire-Brazzaville / Kinshasa-Bangui-Ndjamena multimodal transport corridor. The road is also part of the network of the priority program of the consensual master plan of transport in Central Africa (PDCAT). The corridor connects the capitals of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Chad. It also provides the CAR and Chad with a second access to the sea.</p>

<p>A highway network of approximately 1310 km, which starts from Ouesso in North Congo to MbaA¯koro (near Moundou) in the South of Chad while passing through Bangui in Central African Republic. It comprises the following two sections: (i) the Ouesso-Bangui section in the equatorial forest to the South, which is about 640 km long and lies across Congo and the CAR; and (ii) the Bangui-MbaA¯koro section in the savannah woodland to the North, which is about 670 km long and lies in CAR and Chad territory;</p>

<p>S&atilde;o Tom&eacute; and Pr&iacute;ncipe has 12 automatic hydrometric stations, which require in-depth maintenance for their effective operation. Taking into account the climate change that has devastated the country, there is a need to adapt and mitigate the impacts that could cause flood and river overflow, and be resilient, through operationalization of hydrometric station for issuing alerts and management of watersheds.</p>

<p>The study of the Ntem River Bridge is part of the Kribi-Campo-Bata maritime route linking the port of Kribi to Cameroon and Bata in Equatorial Guinea. The inter-capital connections study will identify missing links and determine the technical and economic feasibility of the construction of a crossing structure and the development of a single border control post at the border of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. It will make technical, legal and financial recommendations for the management and operation of the Yaounde-Kribi-Bata-Libreville development and corridor.</p>
