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,

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.
Inga 3, 2500 Mega Watts and Grand Inga, 39,000 Mega
Watts / COMESA Countries and beyond

42
Expected Results Generating the huge capacity of 2500 megawatts in Inga 3 and
about 390000 megawatts for Grand Inga would significantly
Increase the current install capacity of the COMESA region of ap-
proximately 38000 megawatts and would increase the capacity of
the region to meet its growing power demands and with potential
to export beyond the region
Total Amount The Inga 3 project is estimated to cost around USD 3.5 billion;
Feasibility studies for the Inga side which include Grand Inga esti-
mated to around USD 15 million project;
The indicative cost of Grand Inga is USD 55 billion.

carry out the feasibility study of the power plant from mid-2011 to
mid-2013. The construction will start in 2014;
Inga hydro site feasibility studies are yet to be completed;
The cost indicated above for Grand Inga is an indicative one; the
estimated cost shall be determined upon the completion of the
feasibility studies.

Objective To generate electrical power from renewable
sources to improve economic and social
development of Kenya and the region;
To contribute to energy security of Kenya and
the region;
To contribute to wealth creation and poverty
reduction in Kenya and the region;
To diversify the energy balance using more

Project Description Kenya has embarked on a generation expan-
sion plan to install additional 1,500 megawatts
and 4,000 megawatts of electric power from
geothermal sources by the year 2018 and
2030 respectively in order to adequately utilize
its huge geothermal potential which exceeds
7,000 megawatts. This requires on-going
appraisal drilling and mobilization of funds for
physical implementation for product drilling
and power plant development.
In this regards, the planned geothermal
development plans require more than 1,000
wells to be drilled and about 30 large power
stations of about 140 megawatts each to be
built
Expected Results The generating capacity of 1,500 to 4,000
megawatts would increase the current install
capacity of Kenya of 1,215 megawatts and
would increase the capacity of the country to
meet its growing power demands and hence
to offset import power bills and to also to gen-
erate excess power for export to COMESA
countries.

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 sec-
tor. In addition, these rather low rates are applied after one-year of
the inception of the project. By allowing investors to freely repatri-
ate 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.

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.

around 40km from Kigali city centre and with a number of attractive
attributes:
• A basic plateau running to river valleys located North, East and West of
the site;
• The river valleys are relatively deep (+30m);
• The border with Burundi is located approximately 23 km to the South;
• There are no large tracts of forest, no major standing water on the site
and no major cross wind problems;
• The airport will be built in three phases and will increase the country’s
capacity of passenger handling;
• From 400,000 per annum to 1.8 million by the end of phase one (2030);
• To 10-12 million by the end of phase 2; and
• To 50-60 million by the end of phase 3.
• Feasibility studies were completed in March 2007. Second phase
detailed technical studies are near completion by UK-based TPS con-
sultants (who worked on Heathrow Terminal 5). A transaction advisor
has been appointed and construction is expected to start in 2011.
Expected Results • Build access roads, runways, taxiways and airside facilities;
• Have modern energy efficient terminals, cargo facilities and control
tower as well as structures and facilities that ensure that the airport can
remain operational through extreme weather conditions, earthquakes
and power outages;
• Will serve the needs of Kigali and expand into a gateway airport linking
the Great Lakes region of Africa to the world, developing over time into
a Central African hub airport;
• Facilitate growth of external sectors such as high value agro exports
and service sectors through more frequent and lower cost air freight
and passenger services;
• Direct and indirect employment generation for skilled as well as un-
skilled workers.

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.

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;
planted with a total of 30,000 feddans;
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.

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.

• 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

started the cultivation of Hybrid Rice Seeds in Mauritius. The company
started operations in the 1st semester of 2009 and plans to produce
hybrid rice seeds and hybrid rice on 500 hectares of land – currently
170 ha of land are under cultivation;
• Vita Rice is commercially growing hybrid rice seed for export to Asia
and the wider Indian Ocean region;
• The company is in the process of leasing cold room facilities for stor-
age of the rice seeds;
• The company intends to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius
by mid-2011;
• Vita Rice, through its parent entity Vita Grain has also founded, in con-
junction with Agricultural Research Organizations, the Food Security
Development Centre which will progressively develop new and existing
Hybrid Rice varieties to suit numerous applications, including climatic
divergence, health and nutritional characteristics;
• The company has also acquired 30,000 hectares of land in Tanzania.

Rwanda
Project Descrip-
tion
• 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.

(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.

tion
• 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.

SwazilandSwaziland 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.
