Objective The overall objective of the feasibility study is to enable the Government of Djibouti to make informed decisions on the use of natural gas as an alternative source of energy with the aim of low-ering prices and to diversify the sources of energy for the purpose of assuring a continuous and stable supply of energy in the local and regional market. The specific objective of the feasibility study is to undertake a detailed project which includes commercial, financial, technical, environmental, legal and institutional aspects of the project and the preparation of an Investor Information Memorandum for presenta-tion to potential investors.

The objective of the natural gas receiving terminal at the port of Doraleh is to enable Djibouti to secure its energy needs and reduce the cost of doing business through addressing the supply side constraint

Project Description The natural gas receiving terminal at the port of Doraleh will enable Djibouti to secure its energy needs and reduce the cost of doing business through addressing the supply side constraint. It is envis-aged that this receiving gas terminal would facilitate the provision of the fast expanding energy needs of the country. Currently, the energy needs of the country are mainly electricity for both domes-tic and industrial purposes and over the last five years these needs have grown remarkably due to increase in the economic activities of the country and improvement in the standard of livings of the population It is envisaged that this project will also contribute to secure the growing energy needs of countries beyond Djibouti, namely some COMESA Member States.

Expected Results • Enhancement of the intra-market and extra-market competi-tiveness of Djibouti;

• Ensuring that Djibouti can position itself as a Regional Hub;• Improvement in energy supply in Djibouti and the COMESA

region in general as well reduced cost of energy.

Objective • To generate electrical power to improve economic and social development of the COMESA region and beyond;

• To provide relatively cheap electrical power input for the region;

• To contribute to energy security of the region;• To increase the access to electric power; • To contribute to wealth creation and poverty reduction in the

Project Description The projects are designed to tap the natural renewable hydroelec-tric energy from the Congo River networks located on the West Coast of Southern Africa. SNEL, which is electricity utility of the Democratic Republic of Congo, had submitted Inga 3 power sta-tion site to generate 3500 megawatts for Western Power Corridor (WESTCOR) development. SNEL also owns and operates the two existing power stations, Inga 1 and Inga 2. Western Power Corridor (WESTCOR) was formed in February 2003 by the national utility companies South Africa’s Eskom, the DRC’s SNEL, Angola’s Empresa Nacional de Electricidade, Namibia’s NamPower and Botswana Power. In a later development, the DRC rejected the regional development programme offered by WESTCOR and planned to develop Inga 3 on its own. In this regard, BHP Billiton was selected through a bid-ding process in 2009 to develop the Inga 3 plant with a generating capacity of 2,500MW. BHP Billiton will now substitute WESTCOR in carrying out the project. The power produced by Inga 3 will be supplied to BHP’s proposed aluminium smelter which will require about 2000 megawatts. The rest of Inga 3 which is 500 megawatts will be supplied to the southern African power grid. Moreover, the size and constant flow rate of Congo River provides a huge hydroelectric potential particularly at the Inga site, which is assessed at 44000 megawatts. Four actions are on-going for Inga side development. They are rehabilitation of Inga 1 and Inga 2, feasibility studies of Inga 3 and physical implementation of Inga 3, Inga hydro feasibility studies and regional interconnection feasibility.

Remarks The country with its vast natural resources, reasonable infrastructure and marked political stability has promulgated an investment legisla-tion that offers a number of privileges and incentives. The business profit tax was reduced from 35% to 15% on the services sector, 10% on the industrial sector and 0% on the agricultural sector. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatriate their profits and import of capital goods free of custom duties, Sudan stands as an investment haven.

Industry / Sector Real Estate Devevlopment

Sub-Sector Building and Construction

Project Description The LBDA Headquarters Complex was conceived in 1982. Initially, the project was to be constructed at Kochiel Hill in West Kanyawegi, Kisumu. However, early in 1985, the site was changed to Kanyakwar, Kisumu along Kisumu/ Kakamega Road. This is within Kisumu Munici-pality in the Kisumu West Constituency.

The designs for the Kochiel Hill site were done up to scheme design level i.e. sketch designs. The change to the Kanyakwar site, resulted in changes in the scope of design requirements, as there was more land available for the development of the head quarter on a 9.3 Hectare plot and the housing unit on a 7.77 ha plot.

LBDA stalled HQs is a prime area for collaboration and partneship. The stalled buildings was designed to be an ultramodern complex of the time, complete with an Office Tower Block (12,890 m2), Confer-ence centre (1,200 m2), 3. Laboratories (722 m2), Vehicle Maintenance Unit (339 m2), Guest House (401 m2) a Staff Clinic (262 m2) and a Warehouse

The commencement date was 1st November 1990. However the works stalled in 1992 due to delay in payments of various certificates

Expected Results • Accommodate the LBDA Staff in one building as opposed to rent-ing office space in several commercial buildings in Kisumu;

• Make savings on the recurrent office rental expenditure;• Generate, through rent, the much needed revenue able to sustain

some of the LBDA’s operations;• Be a regional conference centre, Kisumu being strategic in the

region and the East African countries integration into an eco-nomic block.

Expected Cost Kshs 10,000,000


• Acquisition of land title deed• Payment of accumulated land rent, rates and interest

Remarks The Lake Basin region suffers from inadequate power supply, especial-ly in rural areas, which would otherwise spur industrial development. Electricity demand has been growing at an average rate of 8% per an-num with demand sometimes exceeding supply during peak periods.

The rural electrification programme is an important element of the regional development policy as it stimulates industrial and agricultural development as well as promotion of general welfare of the people in the rural area.

Remarks The country with its vast natural resources, reasonable infrastruc-ture and marked political stability has promulgated an investment legislation that offers a number of privileges and incentives. The business profit tax was reduced from 35% to 15% on the services sector, 10% on the industrial sector and 0% on the agricultural sector. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatriate their profits and import of capital goods free of custom duties, Sudan stands as an investment haven.

Remarks The country with its vast natural resources, reasonable infrastructure and marked political stability has promulgated an investment legislation that offers a number of privileges and incentives. The business profit tax was reduced from 35% to 15% on the services sector, 10% on the industrial sector and 0% on the agricultural sector. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatriate their profits and import of capital goods free of custom duties, Sudan stands as an investment haven.

Sub-Sector Electricity Generation

Project Description • Private investment in hydro power en-ergy in 26 sites in 15 districts;

• The project aims at constructing micro Hydro Power dams and a number of Pico hydro power schemes to address the acute energy deficit in rural areas as well as unreliable grid power in small towns that are off-grid;

• Each micro hydro power dam will be an isolated community grid;

• Current installed hydro capacity does not meet Uganda’s electricity demand, there-fore having more hydro sites exploited will partly address deficit and promote rural electrification, thus contributing to the eradication of poverty.

MadagascarLocal Production of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Equipments


Company’s Nature of Business Manufacturing Sanitation products

Market Local

Whereas Madagascar itself is rich in raw materials required for producing sanitation products, the country is only import-ing them from other counties.

The imported products are very costly and beyond the pur-chasing capacity of almost 95% of the population. SANITEC, as a social enterprise and as well as a pioneer in water and sanitation intends to produce them locally and exclusively with local resources and make these basic need products affordable not only to the poor of Madagascar but also to those of the other African countries.

• We are selected finalists of World Bank’s Market Place twice for the years 2007 and 2008;

• We are ‘Energy Globe’ award winners for the year 2007;• Some of our innovative products are first time in the

world; • We shall be able to sell our superior quality products

cheaper at one third of the cost of the imported prod-ucts due to our in-novative production technologies.



Company’s Input • USD 105,000;• Expertise in the use of local raw materials (access to

resources).


Anticipated Partners’ Input Financial input: 300,000 USD (Loan)

SudanPaper Cellulose Project


Project Description A project aiming at cultivation of forest trees (silviculture) in the Gezira Scheme to produce paper cellulose

Project Site Gezira State and Sennar States stand as viable choices for the establishment of a Cellulose project. Gezira or Rahad Schemes provide feasible options. The project could be established in Hasaheisa, Wad Medani or Sennar.

Paper Industry Compo-nents

• The industry is based on availability of raw material (fibres from its different sources), potable water which is a basic component in addition to electricity, chemicals and good storage capacities for wooden logs, other primary wooden material and protection from damage and combustibility;

• Fibres are drawn from forestry resources that include Acacia Seyal and Camphor trees in addition to canes which are good sources of fiber;

• Fibres are also drawn from plant resources such as kennel, burden, cotton stems, bogases, tibin, cane or wicker;

• As potable water is an essential component, the country’s vast resources in artesian and surface water provide this resource.

Technical Operations • Abu Isherein canals would be prepared on the length of the projected area;

• Plants would be grown in nurseries and thereafter planted;• The plants would be watered thirteen-times annually;• Weeds would be removed during the 1st year of the life of

the tree;• For every feddan one-thousand plant are needed (800 for

plantation and 200 as substitutes);• 2,000,000 feddans would be planted annually i.e. 10,000 for

the 1st five-years;• From the 6th year to the 10th year, 4,000 feddans would be

planted with a total of 30.000 feddans;• From the 11th year to the 15th year, 6,000 feddans would be

planted with a total of 30,000 feddans;• From the 16th year to the 20th year, 8,000 feddans would be

planted with a total of 40,000 feddans.

Projected Returns • Production starts at the end of the 5th year of cultivation;• Current price for one-feddan return is 399 Sudanese pounds;• Projected return at the end of the 5th year 600 Sudanese

pounds;• Projected profitability at the 1st logging 388 Sudanese

pounds;• Returns would approximately reach 600 Sudanese pounds at

the start of production of 112,000 feddans.

SudanCement Industry


Project Site AlAbassia, Rashad and Miri

Characteristics • Short span of time;• Low cost and highly efficient management;• Guaranteed production and profitable;• Southern Kordofan State has rich reservoir of cement raw

material that could be excavated being close to the surface;• The State enjoys a vibrant socio-economic development;• The location of the proposed factory augurs well in terms of

success and available market taking into consideration the construction growth hitherto engulfing the country.

Grounds for Success • Availability of large quantities of limestone that ensures con-tinued supply of raw material;

• The AlAbassia asphalt road would facilitate transport using Medani-Khartoum road;

• The production could satisfy the local requirement as well as neighbouring market west and south of the Sudan.

Preliminary Results of the Feasibility Study

• The on-going construction activities in all sectors necessitat-ed an ever increasing demand to building material. Therefore, establishing a cement factory or factories meet the growing demand taking into consideration that local production of cement does not fulfil the requirements;

• In view of the availability of raw material, increasing demand, investment incentives and workforce, the cement industry would realize profitability as well as contributing in the socio-economic sustainable development.

Capital Requirements Working Capital: SDG 6 million covers the following aspects:• Cost of Preliminary feasibility studies and technical studies;• Cost of electro-mechanical equipment such as conveyors;• Cost of electrical power and water plants;• Cost of buildings and other facilities;• Cost of installation of equipment;• Cost of transport of equipment from ports of origin (Europe)

to the site via Port Sudan;• Insurance cost in respect to equipment, engineers and work-

force during installation and construction phase;• Administrative costs including preparatory phase, communi-

cation, travel and other related activities;• Capital costs and customer service;• Salaries and indemnities.

Remarks The country with its vast natural resources, reasonable infrastructure and marked political stability has promul-gated an investment legislation that offers a number of privileges and incentives. The business profit tax was reduced from 35% to 15% on the services sector, 10% on the industrial sector and 0% on the agricultural sec-tor. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatriate their profits and import of capital goods free of custom duties, Sudan stands as an investment haven.

ComorosCow Farm & Milk Collection Centre

Industry / Sector Livestock

Project Description • Establishment of three cow farms in each of the three islands of Comoros Union, each farm will concentrate its activities on collecting milk, cooling and hygienically storing before to diary plants or wholesalers;

• Investment cost amounts to USD 1.9 million for the three farms, with a payback period of 3 years and 9 months;

• Required financing: USD 1.9 million.

Value Proposition • The main revenues drivers are milk production and livestock slaughter;

• The discounted cash flow analysis was used, which provided an unleveraged IRR of 34% (100% equity financing) and a leveraged IRR of 46% (50% equity financing and 50% debt financing);

• The local milk production remains insufficient and doesn’t meet the demand;

• The country imports milk in powdered form as well as concen-trate.


Comoros

Salt Production Facility

Industry / Sector Agro-Processing

Project Description • Salt factory for extracting raw salt from brine and a process-ing and packaging unit that can produce washed iodized and bagged salt as well as refined salt;

• The Comorian government is providing long term lease of land at a low cost with attractive terms and conditions.

Value Proposition • Salt has a very high purity of 99.3% in chloride of sodium;• With a population of 650 thousand, the total addressable mar-

ket is equal to 5200 tones, the assumption is that the markets share in year one is 25% growing to 50% in the third year, and reaching 80% by the sixth year;

• Growing regional market with insufficient local supply com-pared to demand levels, and regional need for high quality salt with purity over 99.3%;

• No local competition, all salt products are imported from India and Madagascar;

• Significant infrastructure improvements and sustained political stability;

• For the export market, an assessment of the salt market in East Africa shows that the potential countries for Comorian salt exports are: Seychelles, Mauritius, Mayotte and Tanzania.

ComorosGreenhouse and Vegetable Market

Industry / Sector Agriculture

Project Description • The development of 3 vegetable farms in each of the Comoros Union Islands. Considers establishing at least 25 greenhouses producing tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce;

• Each farm should include a vegetable market with 50 outlets.

Value Proposition • A discounted cash flow analysis was used which provided an unleveraged IRR of 29.8% (100% equity financing) with a payback period of 3.6 years, and a leveraged IRR of 42.4% (50% equity financing and 50% debt financing) with payback period of 2.7 years;

• Comoros agriculture sector has been constantly growing at an average growth rate of 3% per year;

• The expected increase in tourism and investments in the coun-try will increase demand for variety of vegetables and produce by foreign visitors, expats as well as locals; The moderate Comoros climate is ideal for growing planta-tions. The high level of rainfall makes water abundant and inexpensive;

• Most farm work is still manual and production techniques are for the most part still not capital intensive. This form of produc-tion is reflected in poor yields, below the potential of the plants and soil available. With abundant and cheap labour force, greenhouse plantation offers important opportunities for high margin profit.

Project Description The Rice mill complex has been in existence for nearly more than a de-cade now. In its time, the complex was the ultra-modern showcase of the region and in many respects it still is. However, even though it has not been subjected to intensive usage, some of its components will need to be repaired or upgraded to enable it cope with a commercial-ized operating environment and the rapidity of technological advances. Such upgrading will involve but not limited to the following:• Relocation and improvement of the intake-hopper;• Extension of the husk-line blower to lead the husk to a processing

unit for chipboards;• Purchase and installation of an integrated packing unit for 2, 5

and 10 kg packs;• Rehabilitation of the critical functions of the milling plant and

stockpile consumable spares e.g. rubber rollers and screens Spares for the color sorter;

• Redesign the storm drains and undertake major civil work repairs in go-downs and administration block;

• Rehabilitation of the weigh bridge;• Major repairs of the go-downs leaking roofs;• Water proofing of leaking elevators to avoid water seepage;• Repair of 50kva diesel generator.

Expected Results • Increased milling capacity utilization to over 30% from the current 6%;

• Refurbished, restructured and improved operations of the Mill to make a 10% return to capital employed;

• Support to farmers growing both rain-fed and irrigated rice through purchasing and milling of over 10,000 tons of paddy per year.

Rwanda



• More than 68% of Rwanda is in hillsides with a slope >16%;• Mission is to support model land-husbandry, innovative water-har-

vesting in valley dams and gravity irrigation in hillsides;• This project will demonstrate improved land-husbandry and produc-

tivity on 35,800 ha lands in 34 pilot watersheds and irrigated agricul-ture on 12,000 ha distributed in 34 locations;

• The hillside-irrigation program is focused on highly economical hor-ticultural crops such as mangoes, avocado, cooking banana, plum, peaches and pineapple but also on coffee and tea;

• Detailed survey and design works are completed for 8 of the project sites and 16 more are under detailed design.

Expected Results • Develop a park to support model land-husbandry, innovative water-harvesting and hillside irrigation;

• Currently there is very limited irrigation - only on 0.6% of croplands which means the majority of smallholder producers continue to rely on rain-fed agriculture;

• Irrigation is critical to reducing agriculture’s vulnerability to climatic variation, thereby reducing production volatility, and to aligning the sector to the national crop intensification program;

• Irrigation systems can reduce the amount of soil erosion caused by rainwater, thus conserving the soil nutrients, which will help improving productivity;

• Irrigation will increase the productivity of hillside agriculture in Rwanda but more importantly to engage in commercial agriculture so as to diversify revenue sources.




Status Some development partners have already provided grants for the project but a significant gap of CAD 120 million still exists

• The necessary land has been acquired and a specific feasibility study together with an architectural design are expected to be conducted by end 2010;

• It is estimated that Rwanda is consuming about 3,077,660 MT of FFVs (Fresh Fruits and Vegetables) annually;

• Consumption figures per annum for Kigali City are estimated as follows:• Current: 363,144 MT of FFVs and 36,621 MT of livestock-related products;• Projected by 2020: 581,000 MT of FFVs (60% increase) and 60,000 MT of

livestock-related (39% increase).• The main sources of revenue and their expected contribution in total rev-

enues include:• Produce entry market fees (38%);• Rental fees from trading stalls (21%);• Supermarket, cold-room, loading user charges (19%);• Banking and administration halls and other (22%);• Business transactions are planned to be based on a card system while the

revenue model will be based on a rental method.

Expected Results • Development of a wholesale market complex including trading stalls, cold storage facilities, a banana ripening centre, shopping mall, premium produce mall, meat and milk trading block and admin halls;

• The food market is expected to serve the domestic market as well as tap regional and international export markets (there is only one wholesale food market in East Africa);

• Trigger local farmers’ incentives towards increased productivity, improved quality and marketing beyond the local areas; thereby increasing farm incomes.




Status • Total revenues in the 6 years until break-even is expected to be USD 175 million;

• Funding for the initial feasibility study has been provided by the Uganda based Kilimo Trust;

• Collaborators in the project are Ministry of Agriculture, RDB, PSF (Private Sector Federation) and Kigali City Council.

• A 200 ha land has been identified in the Eastern Province for the development of a flower park;

• The zone is close to a lake, on intermediate altitude;• GoR intends to follow the example of Ethiopia which is generating +$250M an-

nually through its flower industry;• A local company called Rwanda Roses LTD has already completed a feasibility

study and a business plan to start a 50 ha rose farm in the park;• The project is expected to produce over 95 million stems every year starting

with 60 million stems per year in Phase I;• Production will be under green, computerized irrigation, with fertilizer and pesti-

cide application. These high production techniques will ensure that 95% of the products are of export quality.

Expected Results • Development of a 200 ha flower park including costs related to:• Land expropriation;

- Studies (social study, environmental impact assessment, specific feasibility study);

- Topographic and architectural design; - Infrastructure.

• The project will provide employment opportunity for 1500 people in and around the project area, contribute revenue to the government in the form of taxes as well as bring in more foreign exchange currency to the country;

• The project is adopting a new technology for the flower industry of Rwanda to produce cut rose flowers which could serve as a model for the whole country and the region;

• The development of a flower park is expected to attract cargo flights into the country hence lowering air flight costs. This will in turn attract more investors into horticulture industry supporting value addition to fruits and vegetables for export.

Expected Cost €14 million/ USD 21 million• Phase I: € 9 million/ USD 13.5 million;• Phase II: € 5 million/ USD 7.5 million.



Status • The project is expected to generate and sell over 95 million stems annually both through auction (80%) and direct sales (20%). The Dutch auction which alone sells between 3.3 – 4 billion roses per year will be targeted;

• The expected net farm return price is € 0.10 with total revenues of € 9.5 million.

The business profit tax was reduced from 35% to 15% on the services sec-tor, 10% on the industrial sector and 0% on the agricultural sector. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatriate their profits and import of capital goods free of custom duties, Sudan stands as an investment haven.

Swaziland Swaziland Meat Industries


Project Description Swaziland has an EU approved beef abattoir and cutting plant (approval no. SG1, operated by Swaziland Meat Industries Limited, SMI – a public company registered in Swaziland). It operates to a Halaal standard and is certified by the South Africa National Halaal Authority.

Value Proposition • This plant exports about 1300 metric ton of beef to Mozam-bique, England, Norway, Switzerland and the French Indian Ocean islands of Mayotte and Reunion. Further to this another 7000 metric ton of beef and other meat products are supplied by SMI into the Swazi marketplace;

• SMI’s European sales are limited solely by the supply of Swazi origin cattle and the plant could handle a twofold increase in export volumes without significant investment being required;

• In an International context Swaziland is not a low cost pro-ducer of beef thus it bases its success on adding value by supplying high quality products packed specifically to each customer’s requirements;

• The chance to export beef to a completely new market is very welcome and gives Swaziland the opportunity to grow and develop its beef and cattle industries further.
