Fisheries is one of the major economic activities in Seychelles; it is presently the second pillar of Seychelles economy. Despite the threat of piracy, fishing activities have not been greatly affected as per the lead role Seychelles has taken in combating piracy threats and prosecuting pirates. There are great opportunities which exist such as long line fishing, opened for foreign owned vessels. Aquaculture is another economic activity that is being encouraged by Government. Similarly, value addition is being encouraged through fish processing and also the processing of bi-catch. There are presently two local fish processing factories, Sea Harvest and Oceana, and one major tuna canning factory, the Indian Ocean Tuna (IOT). The Government is presently planning to build a quay to accommodate the various fishing vessels operating in the Seychelles Exclusive Economic Zone which will enable faster unloading of fish and loading of stocks, materials and equipment so that the vessels can maximise their time at sea. With an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) which spreads over 1.4 million km2, there are various opportunities for fisheries further strengthened by being strategically located to ensure greater connectivity to the world. With the increase in the number of flights from some of the worlds major airlines, Seychelles is one of the most competitive fish exporters of the Indian Ocean. There will be active encouragement of joint ventures between local and foreign entrepreneurs in order to develop the national tuna harvesting capability and in other areas, (including aquaculture), with the capacity to gain significant social and economic benefits. There will continue to be active encouragement and facilitation of fisheries related investments provided these satisfy Governments objectives for fisheries development. The Government, through the relevant ministries and departments, will endeavour to create an enabling environment to further encourage and promote private investment in processing, value addition and commercialising of fisheries products.

Zambia
Description
Zambia has huge potential for fish production due to its abundant water bodies and available natural resources. However, Zambia has a 40,000 metric ton fish production deficit. The country has huge potential for the Tilapia (Bream) market in Europe but this remains an untapped opportunity as only around 8,000 metric tons of Tilapia is currently being produced. There are opportunities for Zambia to develop high potential zones given the fact that Kafue Fisheries off-loads 70 metric tons per week at one shop in Lusaka for example. Potential fishery zones include: Along Kafue River; Gwembe Valley Southern Province; New Lumwana Area North-Western Province; Zambezi Valley; Luapula Valley; Itezhi Tezhi. In the above-proposed zones, there will be the need to develop big fish farming blocks, while at the same time, to identify other potential areas for production on the Copper Belt, Luapula, Northern, North-Western Province including Eastern Province which is seriously fish stressed in terms of availability. The potential also lies in the fact that to produce 1 Kg of beef you need 7 Kg feed for beef animals, on the other hand to get 1Kg fish you need 1.5 Kg fish feed. This reference indicates how easy it might be to produce fish for nutrition in Zambia. Huge potential lies in the development of five fish farms in Zambia, especially that Lake Harvest of Zimbabwe are more than willing to start fish farming in Zambia. The current Lake Harvest fish farm operations are E.U. Standards compliant. Kafue fisheries is an example of earthen ponds which are integrated with livestock; Chalata-Mkushi Government fish farm with the main aim to produce fish finger lings for distribution to small scale fish farmers. Other Government fish farms operating on the same objectives are listed as follows: Kachele in Kalomo District Southern Province; Kaoma in Kaoma District Western Province; Chipata in Chipata District Eastern Province; Misamfu in Kasama District Northern Province; Fiyongoli in Mansa District Luapula Province.

There is huge potential and Government push for Zambia to be self-sufficient in the production of soya and wheat. Notably: The Cotton sector had been growing at 30 per cent per annum prior to the 2007-08 down turn; Sugar sector has recently expanded by another 100,000 tons; Other crops such as coffee, tea, paprika have huge growth potential; Zambia has over 60 varieties of rose flowers and 7 varieties of summer flowers grown in Zambia. Approximately 145 hectares of land, in the form of greenhouses, is dedicated to growing rose flowers whilst summer flowers are grown in expansive, open fields. Cut flowers, especially roses, are mostly (70%) exported to Holland for re-export to international markets and the remaining 30% is exported to South Africa. There is huge potential in product refinement, value adding to existing package and expanding distribution to new export markets, especially to the U.S. markets; Zambias horticulture sector comprises: baby corn, fine bean, sugar snaps, spring onion, patti pans, chilies, mange tout (snow peas), okra, baby carrots, green asparagus and courgettes.

Description
The project involves the resumption of full scale production at the CSC Canning Plant and the increase in production at the CSC owned Wetblue Industries (Pvt) Ltd tannery both in Bulawayo. There is also need to refurbish the by products plant at the CSC Bulawayo abattoir some of whose machinery has been corroded due to idleness for long periods. The plant produces tallow for the soap industry, blood meal and meat and bone meal for the stock feeds industry. The cannery is EU market approved, ISO certified and HACCP and Halaal accredited. The plant produces a wide range of canned beef and other beef based value added products for both the domestic and export market and the facilities can also be used to produce vegetable based canned products. It is currently operating at a very low level due lack of working capital to buy the raw materials. If there is capital injection the raw materials can be sourced from both the CSC abattoirs and Halaal certified abattoirs it has the capacity to produce 20 forty foot export containers a month. The tannery (Wetblue Industries) is the biggest tannery in the country and is export rated. It processes hides to wetblue stage for export but is currently operating at very low levels due to lack of adequate working capital. There is also opportunity to further process the wetblued hides to fine leather by installing the splitting and scrapping machine at the end of the production line. The hides for processing can be sourced from both the CSC abattoirs and private abattoirs and slaughter poles all that is needed is capital injection. It has the capacity to produce 5 export containers a week. In all these ventures the investor would go into joint venture with CSC who will provide the production facilities and skilled manpower while the investor injects capital.
Objectives
To value add the beef coming from the abattoirs into canned products and other value added meats like beef polony and also the can vegetables for both the domestic and export market. To produce beef by-products for the downstream industries. To value add hides coming from the abattoirs into wetblue and fine leather for export.

Objectives
The Butare Kitabi Ntendezi Road, which on the priority primary road network links the capital, Kigali, to the West and Southern provinces and serves the East Region of DR Congo.
Project Description
The Butare Kitabi (53.1 km) section is in a reasonable good condition with specific damaged areas which are earmarked for reinforcement with 5 cm of Bitumen. The Kitabi Ntendezi (61.7 km) section is in an advanced state of disrepair, exhibiting signs of structural fatigue and instability of the platform, thus requiring heavy engineering works including a layer of reinforcement with 5cm of Bitumen, reconstruction of a 1.75m 2m road reserve and elimination of blind/ danger spots and insecure areas on the winding road.
Expected Results
This project will contribute towards opening up rural areas. Specifically, the project will help to: reduce overall transport costs, improve access to basic social services and to production and marketing centres and increase opportunities for commercial activities.


This project is in line with national priorities.

Infrastructure
Objectives
Upgrade strategic road in densely populated area to Bitumen standards. Reduce journey times to DRC and Burundi
Project Description
The road will be upgraded to low bitumen standards with a service life of 15 years.
Expected Results
In addition to improving economic prospects across the densely populated route, it is believed that road upgrade to Bitumen Standards has strategic relevance as it would provide an alternative route to the Northern Corridor. Specifically this segment if upgraded would provide a shorter route to DR Congo and Burundi than the present route through Kigali and Gitarama. Moreover it will not pass through mountainous terrain encountered on the latter route, thereby shortening journey times considerably. The economic analysis conducted suggested that the road will attract an IRR of 12.7% (by passing Zara) and 13.8% (via Zaza).


The Government intends to realise the economic potential of Kibungo, Kigali, Ngari and Butare Provinces through upgrading this road to bitumen standards.

The Zimbabwe Power demand outstrips the supply. The country has a total installed capacity of 1,960 MW of which currently only about 1,200 MW being the dependable capacity available. The countrys power demand exceeds 2,000 MW therefore the shortfall exceeds 600 MW. Zimbabwes power supplies consist of power generated from local power stations and power imported from neighbouring countries in the Southern Power Pool (SAPP). The surplus capacity in the SAPP has been diminishing resulting in massive load shedding of up to 800 MW negatively affecting economic growth. The growth and recovery of the Zimbabwe economy requires addressing power supply issues as a matter of urgency in order to support the countrys economic turnaround.

Partnership
Location of project
The bridge is located in Manicaland, across the Save River, some 125 km from Mutare Masvingo Mutare Road which forms part of the RTRN.
Description
Existing bridge is a steel structure built in 1935. Some structural failures have been observed on the bridge, including shearing of rivets. A load restriction of 25 tonnes was imposed on all traffic using the bridge. This has resulted in problems for most goods carriers who now have to resort to longer routes. Remedial works recommended for the structure do not give a definite life span for the structure while they are also expensive. The Department has therefore thought to be a long lasting solution that there be designed and constructed a new bridge within the vicinity of the existing one.
Objectives
To design and construct a reinforced concrete structure 400m long across the Save River at Birchenough, some 30 m downstream of the existing structure. The project entails the design and construction of approximately 1.2 km of approach road on either side of the new bridge, which approaches should be of the same standard as the existing approaches to the existing bridge. The relocation or compensation for some infrastructure that is encountered within the project area is also part of the project.

Earth works of low risk portion of the project will be done by national contractor firms however the high risk earth works related to extra-large, large and medium size bridge and tunnel will require intervention; Railway engineering has not been well developed in Ethiopia as a result of continued failure of the existing railway company. Therefore, it is assumed that the development of railway system integration and the construction of permanent way require intervention; Signaling, communication equipment and railway electrification; Rolling stock; Goods and passenger station construction (partly from Ethiopia and Djibouti Government).
Remarks
The Addis Ababa Mieso Diredawa Djibouti Railway Project link has a number of potential advantages to Djibouti; The new standard gauge railway line from Djibouti port will move large amount of port based cargo swiftly in and out of Djibouti. This will de-congest the port making more space available for transshipment cargo; The line will also move passengers from Djibouti to Ethiopian hinterlands; 95 percent of road traffic entering Djibouti is from outside the country hence increase in railway transportation will reduce dependence on road transportation; A new vibrant railway system will generate increased employment opportunities as well as entrepreneurial opportunities.

Total cost: USD 2,500 million; Finance secured: USD 1,325 million; Finance unsecured: USD 1,150 million.

Objectives
The road is a priority to the government of Rwanda because it allows for the new possibility of servicing the international traffic in the Northern Corridor between Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and the DR Congo
Project Description
The total length of this road is 125 km divided into two lots namely; (i) Nyagatare - Byumba (85 km); and (ii) Byumba Base (40 km). Based on the proposed design, the principle works to be carried out on this road include deforestation and earthworks, laying of a base layer of thickness ranging from 15-20cm, construction of a new pavement of 7 m width made of bituminous concrete, shoulders of 1.5m width on both sides, construction of reinforced concrete drainage structures; culverts and box culvert type, construction of 2 new reinforced concrete bridges of PSIBA type, construction of cross roads and inter-town cross sections by creating rest-stops and pavements, horizontal and vertical signage and safety signs and various related facilities. Structure and geometry: Under the proposed design, the pavement of the road will be asphalt concrete over a stabilized or crushed stone base with a structural life equivalent to at least 80 million E80s over a 20 year life. The shoulders will either be subjected to double-sealing treatment or asphalt depending on budget. Special attention will be given to the stabilization and compaction of the road formation under the shoulders, since it will correspond to the widening of the road over non-stabilised soil. The cross section formation is intended to be as follows: Shoulders 1.5 m wide; 7 m wide road with two lanes each 3.5m wide.
Expected Results
Enhanced economic prospects of the region, notably giving better access to areas with cash crops (tea and coffee) and tourist attractions

Although the GoR has not put down its expectation from the Tripartite, it is envisioned that the Tripartite will among others motivate the following: Creation of a responsive PPP policy framework; Support where feasible the recruitment of PRGs and PRI; Budgetary support where feasible.

Objectives
Objectives of the project include the following: To facilitate trade in power in order to reduce average energy production costs, to improve in the utilization of hydroelectric and thermal energy and more economic daily, weekly and seasonally load dispatch by optimizing differences in loading patterns; To offer improved reliability and security of power supply to both Southern and Eastern Africa; To Meet the immediate and future power demand in Eastern and Southern Africa by providing transmission capacity; To reduce investment due to improved energy utilization, reduce standby reserves and improve economies of scale; To contribute to poverty alleviation by offering rural communities along the project route access to electricity (for domestic as well as cottage and small scale industries).
Project Description
The initiative of the Zambia Tanzania Kenya (ZTK) power interconnection project started with bilateral discussions between Zambia and Tanzania in the late 1980s. The transmission line was to connect the Zambia and Tanzania electricity grids linking Serenje (Pensulo sub-station) in Zambia through to Kasama and on to Mbeya in Tanzanai. In 1997, a joint team representing Eskom of South Africa, TANESCO of Tanzania, and ZESCO of Zambia completed the technical and financial feasibility study. Following the completion of the feasibility study, a MOU was signed between the Governments of Tanzania and Zambia in 1998. The MOU provided the political commitment and authority for the projects development. In 20001, the Kenyan Government expressed interest in developing the interconnector and the MOU was amended to include Kenya. The sponsors have mandated the Zambias Office for Promoting Private Power Investment (OPPPI) to manage the day-to-day affairs of the project. The power transmission lines expected to be over 1,600 km to link the three countries. The project has three main components: Construction of a 700 km double circuit 330kV transmission line originating from the Pensulo sub-station near Serenje in Zambia and ending at Mwakibete sub-station, near Mbeya, in Tanzania; Reinforcement of the Tanzania transmission system by construction a single circuit 330kV line from Mbeya through Singinda to Arusha, to enable the transfer of the power to Kenya; and Construction of a 260 kilometres 330kV transmission line between Arusha in Tanzania and Nairobi in Kenya. The sponsors have, to date, agreed on the following: Power supply: the Kenyan Government was until recently reticent about the availability of power to transit along the interconnector. However, SAPP has now confirmed that at least 400
321
Infrastructure
Infrastructure
megawatts of power would be available from the pool for wheeling over he interconnector by the time the project is commissioned, thus assuaging Kenyas skepticism on the availability of power; Project structure: although the project was planned as a PPP , the sponsors decided to develop it as public sector project because of the differences in legislation on the ownership of the power line3s and high return expectations of the private sector, he current proposal is for the project to be implemented through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) owned by the Governments of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya; Project Management Unit (PMU): the sponsors have agreed to form and locate a PMU in Zambia to coordinate and manage the project implementation, once the required funds are mobilized. On the completion of the construction, operations and maintenance contracts will be signed between the project company and the three utilities (KENGEN/KPLC, TANESCO, and ZESCO) to operate and maintain the section of the interconnector traversing each of the three countries. Power Purchase Agreement (PPAs) would be signed between ZESCO and /SAPP and KPLC and TANESCO. These will be long-term term agreements that will commit to supply power to both TANESCO and KPLC. The three utilities will conclude wheeling agreement with the project company. These agreements will provide the security to lenders as wheeling proceeds net of recurrent expenses will be used by the project company to service and repay the loans.
Expected Results
Linking of the EAPP and SAPP and also allow power trading to take place between the regions; Facilitation of the wheeling of 400 megawatts of electric power from Zambia to Tanzania; Facilitation of wheeling at least 300 megawatts from Tanzania to Kenya; Trading of about 2,800 giga-watt hours per year along the interconnector; Reliability of electricity services as well as reduction of average energy production costs; Improvement in utilization of hydroelectric and thermal energy within the region; Reduction of investment cost due to improved energy utilization and improved economies of scale.
Total cost of the project

The cost of the project has two elements as follows: Part 1: establishment of Project Management Unit (PMU). The three utilities have agreed to establish a PMU that will transform itself into a SVP to implement the project. The costs of the PMU, over three years, are estimated to be USD 4.2 million. This money has been secured through the COMESA Contribution Agreement and financed through the 10th European Development Fund; Part 2: Construction of the ZTZ interconnector. The total costs of construction are estimated to be between USD 650 million and USD 800 million depending on the configuration and implementation. This will be finalized by PMU.
Financing for part 1, the funding of the PMU for 3 years has been secured through the COMESA Contribution Agreement and financed through the 10th European Development Fund. Financing for part 2, the construction phase, the sponsoring governments intend to approach multilateral and bilateral funding institutions concessional funding windows as well as commercial banks and agencies to secure the resources required to implement the project. Current indications suggest that the greater proportion of the funds will be in the form of concessionary funds, mainly low cost loans with long repayments periods and grants. The three governments are expected to
322
provide support in mitigating some of the project risks in the form of undertakings and/or guarantees. The sponsors will inject equity into the company and the company will obtain debt or loan finance (secured by wheeling agreements) from lenders to fund implementation.

Many electric power interconnectors will be operational between 2013, 2015 like: Uganda-Rwanda commissioning 2013; Rwanda-Burundi commissioning 2013; Burundi-DRC commissioning 2013; Ethiopia-Kenya commissioning 2016. These interconnectors will complement Zambia/Tanzania/Kenya power grid interconnection in linking the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP) with the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP).
Action Required or Implementation Arrangement

The project shall be developed by public sector in the three countries (Zambia/Tanzania/Kenya). This is partly to facilitate mobilization of concessionary funding and also to minimize the impact of private sector driven return requirements on the project cost and eventual tariffs to customers. A Project Management Unit (PMU) owned jointly by Zambia/Tanzania/Kenya Governments will be set up to manage the project during implementation and thereafter handover to a legal entity jointly owned by Zambia/ Tanzania/ Kenya Governments to coordinate the Project during commercial operation. The COMESA Secretariat is facilitating resource mobilization for the project.

The project falls within the national plans of the three countries
Period of implementation
3 years
Status
Transaction advisor has been engaged to provide financial, technical, and legal advisory services. Project Information Memorandum (PIM) has been approved by the 3 countries. To effectively manage the project Government of Tanzania, Kenya and Zambia have agreed to form a Project Management Unit (PMU). The technical, financial, economic and environmental studies have been completed.
Financing Required for which Intervention

Financing is required for the construction of the ZTZ interconnector. The total costs of construction are estimated to be between USD 650 million and USD 800 million depending on the configuration and implementation. This will be finalized by PMU.
Remarks
The risks are that the utilities may not be able to agree on a tariff. The suggested tariff at present is USD 0.006 per kilowatt/hour nut Kenya believes that this is too high which is delaying the roll-out of the project, including the establishment of the PMU. Another risk is that the project will not be able to attract sufficient concessionary financing to enable it to be implemented. However, if the tariff is agreed, this risk is considered to be low.

Development of Commercial Marinas

Type
Opportunity
Mauritius
Sub-Sector Hospitality Description

In the National Budget 2012, the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development, the Hon. Xavier Luc-Duval announced the launching of the marina industry as a new economic sector for Mauritius. The time is right for Mauritius to further diversify its tourism offerings with new product, sailing tourism, in the context of a marina industry. Strategically located within the Indian Ocean and having a beautiful coastline, a number of small islands near the shore as well as other islands further away (Rodrigues, Agalega & St Brandon), the country enjoys an expanding tourist and luxury real estate industry, a buoyant hotel industry and a sizeable number of boats. A marina industry would boost the value add of the existing offering to tourists, investors, luxury real state buyers including IRS/RES villa holders and the local people. The existence of world-class marina for both local use and nautical tourism in Seychelles, Madagascar, Reunion and SouthAfrica supports the business case for a marina industry in Mauritius. Mauritius offers thrilling opportunities for marina development such as small marinas integrated with IRS projects, marinas in main touristic locations and marina development with hinterland mixed-use projects.
Expected Results
The creation of a marina industry in Mauritius that would position Mauritius on the map of nautical tourism, upgrade the marine infrastructure of the country, generate jobs and broaden the base of leisure activities in Mauritius.
Actions Required
Devise a regulatory framework for the development and operation of marinas in Mauritius; identify suitable sites for marina development, and the organisation of an International marina conference to gather interest from local and international investors for the development of Marina in Mauritius; Bring together local landowners and investors, international promoters and developers, professionals as well as public sector decision makers in order to kick-start the industry development.
