ECOWAS Heads of State and Government at the 37th Summit in Abuja on 22nd June, 2009 decided to create a fund for the development and financing of the transport and Energy Sectors expected to be fed from a levy on the key export resources within the region.
A consultant consortium was recruited, with funding from AfDB and EBID, to conduct a feasibility study for the establishment of the fund.
The Consultant’s assignment includes examining the effect on the economy (national and regional) of establishing the FODETE and propose mitigating measures. Specifically, to:
Conduct the economic, financial and legal feasibility analysis relating to the creation of the FODETEDefine the conditions for set up of the fundsDefine the modalities for resourcing the fundElaborate the governance and operational modalities
From preliminary analysis of 2012 data and the proposed taxation scheme for all products (agriculture, mining, oil, gas), an estimate of US$310million is expected from FODETE based on

“Closing Africa’s infrastructure financing gap is critical to the region’s prosperity” –
AICD study
• Africa's infrastructure services are twice as expensive as elsewhere –YET Infrastructure contributed over half of Africa's improved growth performance
• Project financing is scarce and in high demand – YET alarge share of Africa's infrastructure is domestically financed
• We have deficit Infrastructure BUT it can be increased by creating the right institutional, regulatory, and administrative environment for investment (public/private)

PPDU Operation and ManagementPPDU Operation and Management
A ‘Honest Broker’ unit supported by a Fund for project preparation to be split into two windows;
One to be used to stimulate private sector led Infrastructure initiatives (IDCF), whilst the other used to support public sector projects (AF)
A governance structure consisting of a Board (composed by ECOWAS, MS, Dev’t Partners and Private Sector representatives) and a Management team
In order to respond adequately to public and private sector demands/requirements.

CHALLENGESCHALLENGES
Political
• Political unrest in the region affected Air Carriers, damaged airport infrastructure, facilities & equipment and undermined the confidence of users.
• National protectionist attitudes affects the granting of air traffic rights contradicting the YD Liberalization
Economicand Social
• Market size: ECOWAS Member States are faced with economic and social crises (health, education, poverty, famine)
• High operating cost of airlines: airport taxes and fees, fuel, insurance, maintenance, training of personnel
• Lack of cooperation between ECOWAS Air carriers: flight schedules, interline agreements, join venture, alliances ....
• Inadequate skilled manpower and capacity• GDP Size and stable political climate facilitate hub development (LOS,ACC,DKR)
Legal
• Shortcomings of the Implementation of the YD: lack of Executing Agency, Rules of Competition, Settlement of Disputes, Consumer Rights protection
