<p>The project road runs north from the district capital town of Karonga in northern Malawi for 45.9km to the Tanzanian border at Songwe. Road M1 is the main North-South arterial in Malawi. The Karonga-Songwe section links Malawi to the important port of Dar es Salaam and as such forms a vital link for importing of strategic goods. Zambia%u2019s Eastern Province especially makes use of this and other sections of the M1 road to obtain the shortest route to the port for import of agricultural inputs and export of agricultural produce. In future the town of Karonga will become a strategic junction town as the construction of the African Union promoted link road between Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi progresses. This road is currently under construction between Karonga and Chitipa on the Zambian border.</p>

Construction of Kaouara-Niangoloko One-Stop Border Post (Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso).

<p>The project road runs North from the turn-off to Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) to the North of Lilongwe to the turn-off to the district centre of Mzimba in Northern Malawi for approximately 234 km. The road starts at KIA junction and travels North via Kasungu and Jenda where it ends at the turn-off to Mzimba Boma. The section between the KIA turn-off to Jenda was constructed in the early 1980s and a portion of this section between Chatoloma and Jenda was resealed in 2005. The road is used by both motorised and non-motorised vehicles, in particular between Lilongwe and Kasungu where there are many trading centres and towns along the route. Between Lilongwe and the Kachinda turn-off to the S113 the road traverses mainly rolling to flat terrain with several river crossings including three high level bridges. It passes the following trading centres:</p>

<ul>
<li>Lumbadzi Trading Centre</li>
<li>Mponela Trading Centre</li>
<li>Madisi Trading Centre</li>
<li>Bua Trading Centre</li>
<li>Chinkhoma Trading Centre</li>
<li>Dwangwa Trading Centre</li>
<li>Phomwa Trading Centre</li>
<li>Bowe Trading Centre</li>
<li>Chatoloma Trading Centre</li>
<li>Nkhamenya Trading Centre</li>
<li>Jenda Trading Centre</li>
</ul>

<p>North of the Kachindamoto turn-off the terrain becomes hilly and the road passes through the Chimaliro Forest Reserve before reaching Jenda. North of Jenda there are a few trading centres and settlements but with far fewer people seen on the road than South of the Kachinda turn-off and in the vicinity of Jenda. The road passes through the Vipya forest reserve before reaching the turn-of to Mzimba.</p>

<p [removed]> Capacity improvement of the Kampala Kibuye Mpigi road  to an expressway road standard with limited access.</p>

<p>Rehabilitation of 75 km of existing Kampala-Jinja road to widen and strengthen the carriageway. The road forms a critical section of the Northern Corridor, linking landlocked East African countries with the Port of Mombasa.</p>

<p>Develop the Kampala Bombo Expressway to facilitate mobility and trade between Kampala and the major towns of Bombo,Masindi, Kigumba and Gulu, as well as to the neighbouring countries of Sudan and the DRC.</p>

<p>The KOB Project shall connect the following 10 locations/towns:<br />

<p>The governments of Kenya and Uganda and Rwanda have committed to the development of a standard gauge railway that links the landlocked countries of Rwanda and Uganda with Mombasa port in Kenya. This project entails the section from Kampala to Kasese in Uganda.</p>

<p>The proposed Kaléta dam project entails the construction of a gravity dam, with a 240 MW capacity. The Kaléta site is located in Guinea, 115 km northeast of Conakry and 130 km upstream of the mouth of the Konkouré River.</p>

<p>This project was previously part of the larger Gambia River Basin Development Organisation (OMVG) project involving the four countries, namely The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal. Guinea, however, decided to develop Kaléta as a stand-alone. Interconnection to other OMVG countries remains intended in future.</p>

<p>The project will have the following characteristics:</p>

<ul>
<li>Storage hydropower plant with 240 MW of hydropower capacity</li>
<li>Net average generation: 660 GWh/year</li>
<li>Gravity dam with maximum height: 22 m, crest length: 1060 m, reservoir storage: 23 million m3.</li>
</ul>
