Transforming Railway Infrastructure in Ghana through Public Private Partnersh...jhmensah
The Ghana railway infrastructure is obsolete and dilapidated. There is the need to redevelop and advance railway infrastructure to service the demand for goods and passenger transport, which when done will encourage export, facilitate trade, generate productivity and ensure economic growth and development. Government however lacks the planning, management, maintenance, investment capacity required to do so. There is a business case, there are political champions and some stakeholder interest and support. As a solution therefore, the Government of Ghana can initiate, prepare, procure and implement PPP to engage the private sector to redevelop and advance the railway infrastructure in Ghana.

Aligning Transportation and Economic Development Plans and Measuring ProgressRPO America
During the National Regional Transportation Conference, Justin Fazzari shared the Economic Development Administration's approach to aligning economic development plans with transportation or other regional planning efforts to ensure consistency.
Planning as a discipline pays inadequate attention to evaluating its success and failures. As a result, planning “successes” often get defined by others, usually as a lack of success. John Landis, Crossways Professor and Department Chair of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, will provide insight and case studies on planning success stories, as well as provide
advice on how to institutionalize success into our efforts. Professor Landis teaches courses in urban economics, property development, land use planning, and green development, among
others. His research interests span a variety of urban development topics including growth management, infill housing, and the geography of urban growth. Professor Landis is currently
completing a National Science Foundation–funded project to model, forecast, and develop alternative spatial scenarios of U.S. population and employment patterns and their impacts on
travel demand, habitat loss, and water use through 2050.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Maximising the social impact of infrastructure by moving from transport to development corridors
1. Maximising the Social
Impact of Infrastructure by
Moving From Transport to
Development Corridors
Dr Martin Johnston
Private Sector Development Adviser
DFID Mozambique
4 February 2016
2. OVERVIEW
1. What’s the difference between development corridors, transport
corridors, economic corridors and spatial development
initiatives?
2. Selection criteria for development corridors
3. Development corridor stakeholders
4. Increasing development corridor benefits to the poor
5. Primary factors for successful development corridors
N.B. all these issues will use the Maputo Development Corridor
(MDC) as the main point of reference
3. • Development Corridors are transport routes that evolve to facilitate an
increasing range of social and economic development activities
• They may evolve to an extent that enhances only the flow of goods and people (a
transport corridor), or to an extent that supports trade (a trade corridor), or
development of a particular sector of the economy (e.g. an agricultural
corridor)
• They might evolve to an extent that supports wider social development and
economic growth of a subnational region or cross-border region (i.e. a fully-
fledged economic corridor)
• DCs are complex; because they evolve, there is rarely a clear demarcation to
determine that a corridor has progressed from one stage of evolution to the next
• There is no universal terminology for development corridors
• In the Topic Guide, the term “development corridor” is used in the general
sense to refer to a corridor at any stage of evolution from a basic transport
route through to an economic corridor
• There has been a good deal of academic time spent on trying to differentiate
between transport, development and economic corridors; some practitioners
would say there has possibly been too much overlap in these to make any
differentiation meaningful
WHAT ARE DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS (DCs)?
4. • Despite the long history of corridors, there
is still a lack of coherent guidance on how
to plan, design, and analyse the likely
impact of corridor projects
• Part of the difficulty is that there are
several types of development corridor
and often no clear distinction between
each type of corridor
• Figure 1 illustrates the different names
typically assigned to corridors as they
evolve from simple transport routes
through to fully-fledged economic
corridors
• Not all corridors are intended to
become economic corridors, but
intermediate corridors (trade, freight,
industrial, agricultural, etc.) also
contribute to increased economic activity
5. • World Bank (WB) states that “transport
corridor” lacks a precise definition though
it has both a physical and functional
dimensions (Figure 2)
• In terms of physical components, a
corridor includes one or more transport
routes that connect centres of economic
activity with common transfer points and
connected to the same end nodes which,
in turn, are gateways that allow traffic
with sources or destinations outside the
corridor
• WB generally does not use the term
economic corridor. Instead, it refers to
transport and trade corridors, sometimes
freight corridors, all of which contribute
toward economic development
• Other donors define economic corridors
as a further stage of corridor evolution
compared to transport or freight corridors.
6. • Asian (ADB) and African Development Banks (AfDB) define an economic corridor as
connecting economic agents along a defined geography (Figure 3)
• As a corridor evolves, it increasingly supports social and economic development; a
basic transport corridor will typically impact only the immediate area adjacent to the
corridor
• As the facilities, border crossings, industrial areas and urban areas develop along and
adjacent to the corridor, and extend out from the corridor, so the impact of the corridor
widens
• Social development and economic growth are best fostered if the corridor links areas of
economic potential called economic "end nodes“
7. • Development of a corridor is driven by economics and the economic
potential of a basic transport route is confirmed via feasibility studies and
the hard infrastructures of one or more transport modes is developed into
a transport corridor
• As more freight and people move along the corridor, the soft
infrastructure (logistics and institutions) also needs to improve in
order to maintain, or increase, efficiency
• Efficient corridor operations encourage further economic activity that
leads to further investment and, ultimately, the corridor evolves into an
economic corridor” (summarised in Figure 4)
8. Spatial Development Initiative (SDI)
• An SDI brings together spatial
planning and development projects
to include areas of unrealised
economic potential, thereby
enhancing the development
potential of the corridor (Figure 5)
• The aim of an SDI is to achieve
balanced development with the
inclusion of communities and
smaller businesses (cluster
projects) alongside larger
investments (anchor projects)
• In order for the corridor to also serve
smaller, isolated communities there
would be a need to build (or
possibly upgrade existing) feeder
roads; similarly to connect
agricultural areas or industrial
developments to the corridor
9. Thomas identified the following key principles of SDIs:
• there must be real economic potential
• as far as possible private sector resources should be mobilised
scarce public sector resources should be applied where
they will have the most impact
• the benefits of economic growth should be shared with
previously excluded groups
The primary features of a SDI include:
• crowding-in of and coordination of both public and private
sector investments
• ensuring political support, commitment and buy-in from the
highest levels of government in order to facilitate fast and
focused planning
• the use of well-planned and publicised opportunities to promote
the SDI
• project opportunities must be well identified and packaged, and
bankable
10. Stages of Corridor Development Based on SDIs
I. Physical development - This stage comprises the development of initial hard infrastructure for
a transport corridor and the multimodal corridor stages of development
II. Logistics development - The right logistics can help harmonize corridor policies, regulations
and institutions.
III. Economic and social development - This stage promotes investments in areas such as
agro-industry and manufacturing, natural resource-based enterprises, small-scale
industries, trade (including planned roadside shops), tourism (rest houses and hotels),
schooling, and health facilities, all located near the corridor. Other interventions might
include the promotion of innovative trade techniques such as fair trade products and
investment forums, again close to the corridor. The economic and social development
stage might also market business opportunities in key industries; establish special
economic zones where appropriate; publicise investment policies, rules and regulations;
offer micro-financing; implant special measures for approving business licences
efficiently and effectively; and address other infrastructure deficiencies, such as
inadequate water and power.
IV. IV. Integration of crosscutting issues - This stage addresses environmental and institutional
capacity concerns and other social development issues. Social issues that affect corridor
development are public awareness, trans-boundary diseases, social development
programmes, and traffic safety.
11. Maputo Development Corridor (MDC) – An SDI Approach
Main objective: Generating economic growth in areas of unrealised potential. The MDC’s
objectives extend beyond transport and trade. It is defined as a fully-fledged economic corridor.
The development was launched in 1996 using a new investment strategy devised by the
South African Government, which became known as the strategic development initiative.
The MDC was promoted with four key development objectives:
• rehabilitation of primary infrastructure along the corridor (road, rail, port, border posts);
• maximisation of investment in inherent corridor potential with facilitated global capital,
regional markets and regional economic integration;
• maximisation of social development, employment opportunities and increased participation of
the historically disadvantaged communities; and
• ensure sustainability by developing policy, strategies and frameworks that ensured a
holistic, participatory and environmentally sustainable approach to development.
Rogerson states the formal objectives of the MDC also include:
• improvements to basic infrastructure (such as roads, water, electricity, and
telecommunications) in the region;
• promotion of investment from the private sector;
• environmental sustainability; and
• the empowerment of previously disadvantaged social groups and entrepreneurs.
13. The SDI Approach continued….
• Following on from the general success of the MDC, there has been widespread promotion of the
SDI approach across Africa for the planning of development corridors including by NEPAD
and that other SDI projects can easily replicate the success of the MDC
• Thomas identified that while the SDI approach makes sense from several standpoints,
there are several concerns that need to be addressed: i) apart from the MDC, few other
cross-border SDIs had made any real progress; ii) SDI preparation is supported by detailed
assessments of economic potential, but actual implementation is often strongly transaction
driven and not sufficiently focused on developing the links between infrastructure and
planning, and spatial development; and iii) often the anchor projects have occurred without
firstly developing the local linkages
• Jourdan and Rogerson share Thomas’ view and both have noted that the MDC SDI focused
attention on a certain part of South Africa that had strong potential for economic growth
• Their separate researches, and those of others, have identified that the MDC did not initially
give sufficient attention to communities and small enterprises; attention was refocused later in
order to deliberately bring benefits to these smaller stakeholders
• Rogerson concludes that the success of SDIs cannot be measured simply in terms of their
effects for changing the geographical patterns of economic activities; of central importance
is the move away from a protected and isolated approach to economic development towards
one in which competitiveness, regional cooperation and a more diversified ownership base
is paramount
14. Selection Criteria for Development Corridors (DCs)
The Topic Guide provides a list of 10 different criteria for DCs: support of heads of state;
sound regulatory framework; one or more suitable economic anchor projects;
alternatives (or supplements) to anchor projects; financially viable upgrades of transport
routes; non-transport infrastructure, such as power and telecommunications; formal
trade liberalisation agreements; conducive political economy for soft infrastructure;
minimisation or elimination of informal institutions; and satisfactory outcome from risk
analyses.
In 2009, the ADB introduced this additional criterion: whether the essential role of grass
roots businesses and community organisations has been fully considered in bringing a
corridor to life.
Poverty reduction is not always identified in the literature as a specific criterion.
However, poverty alleviation is often subsumed within the broader planning criteria such as
reduction in transport costs and enhancement of trade. Governments must play their part in
ensuring that the benefits from corridors reach the poor. Equally, governments must protect
the vulnerable with programmes such as those aimed at minimising the risks associated
with increased traffic facilitated by a corridor (i.e. where long–distance truck drivers
increase the risk of transmitting HIV/AIDs and other diseases, or where weak border
checks fail to discourage human trafficking).
15. Maputo Development Corridor (MDC) – Turning Plans into Actions
The MDC was developed by taking into consideration the unrealised economic potential of
the region. The stakeholders, objectives and decision criteria were brought together by
using an approach that became known as the Spatial Development Initiative (SDI). The
MDC is generally considered a major success in terms of economic corridor development,
having generated a number of notable achievements. These successes did not happen by
chance and are linked to the extensive work that was undertaken:
• scoping of the development corridor and achieving stakeholder consensus;
• the identification and profiling (project packaging) of viable resource anchor project/s
and associated infrastructure (SDI trunk infrastructure);
• an intensive appraisal of existing economic activity on a sectoral basis;
• a scan for other viable investment opportunities and the identification and profiling of
requisite feeder (densification);
• the packaging of the major investment projects to maximise the backward and forward
linkages (local supplier industries and beneficiation/Value Addition);
• the identification and removal of infrastructural, policy and regulatory, bureaucratic, or
institutional constraints to investment as well as those steps required to overcome them
(“de-bottlenecking”); carrying out of project appraisals to develop a portfolio of
investments; and
• engagement with and mobilisation of private sector interest through the development of
concession (PPP) documents and appropriate investment marketing strategies
16. Development Corridor Stakeholders
Corridor development encompasses a broad spectrum of activities and stakeholders may include
non-investment sponsors, such as regional trade bodies, and primary investors, through to
special interest groups. Stakeholders include national and regional governments, development
partners (donors), private sector investors, corridor development agencies and operational
management companies, community groups, NGO’s and the populations and businesses that will
be affected positively and negatively during evolution of the corridor. Community benefits can
be extremely diverse and probably most realistically available to communities 50 km on either
side of the corridor and along its length.
The coordination of stakeholders remains a major weakness for the planning, design and
management of corridors. While MCLI continues to bring together stakeholders from within its
sub-region, there remains no adequate overarching forum for sharing experiences and for
lesson-learning on a continental or global basis.
In relation to the N4 Toll Road, Söderbaum and Taylor (2008) said “There is a strong emphasis on
commercial viability but very few concrete measures for a people-centred development path”.
Söderbaum refers to the high degree of social and economic informal trading networks along the
corridor, and the complex interplay between these informal processes and the formal
arrangements in place. Some of the informal traders (primarily women) tried to set up shop
along the N4 toll road, but were prevented from doing so. According to Söderbaum and Taylor, the
“MDC project is geared towards strengthening ties between state and a small number of big
business actors, with the result that the informal economy is seen as a problem”.
17. Increasing Corridor Benefits to the Poor (aka Inclusive Growth)
The SDI approach can be used to develop a corridor that suitably incorporates small
communities and small businesses alongside the larger corridor investors and, where
applicable, the anchor project(s). The Beira Agricultural Growth Corridor BAGC) is a good
example of this. The BAGC has three pillars in addition to the implicit strengthening and
expansion of the Beira Transport Corridor:
• The first pillar deals with institutional strengthening and corridor governance;
• The second pillar supports agri-business with inclusive business models to invest in
prioritised clusters of high agricultural potential with good existing backbone
infrastructure. This facilitates commercial opportunities for national firms, but also for
global companies that can catalyse the upgrade of agricultural supply chains in the
corridor. The intention is that once a critical mass of agri-investors and efficient supply
chain has been achieved that this will encourage further agri-investors to expand leading
to local business opportunities and jobs that will benefit the poor; and
• The third pillar encompasses promotion of policy dialogue and improvements to the
business environment.
The BAGC corresponds to an agro-based cluster form of SDI that typically could benefit the
poor through the creation of jobs at farms. The glossary also makes mention of agro-
industrial parks as another form of SDI. These are usually located closer to urban areas
and would provide job opportunities for the urban poor.
18. Primary Factors for Successful Development Corridors
The EI Source Book notes the major characteristics needed for a successful corridor:
Primary Lessons:
• Promotion and marketing of the corridor depends upon the attractiveness of the
packaged projects
• The DC anchor projects are large-scale, which would require deliberate action to create
opportunities for SMEs
• Cross-border CDs are initiated based on bilateral (or multilateral) agreements
• There has to be a long-term commitment to the success of a DC
Conclusions:
• The Maputo DC has been the most successful initiative
• The role of government is seminal in facilitating Development Corridors
• The role of competent project manager (and subordinate managers) is pivotal
• Early involvement of SOEs, private sector, NGOs, CBOs in DC is crucial for its success
• Perpetual ‘Political Will’ is paramount
