horn of africa challenges for igad and the ec - world...

The EU regional political partnership for peace, security and development in the

Horn of Africa – challenges for IGAD and the EC

Main elements of the 2006 EC Communication1

In a response to the multiple and interconnected challenges in the Horn, the European

Commission adopted on 20 October 2006 an integrated regional response strategy

for the region titled “EU political partnership for peace, security and development

in the Horn of Africa”. The European Parliament adopted a related resolution on 10

May 2007, endorsing the Commission’s approach. The strategy links the concepts of

security and development and is a concrete geographical expression of the EU-Africa

Joint Strategy adopted at the Lisbon Summit in December 2007.

The aim of the Horn strategy is to have a coherent and overall EU approach to this

politically and economically important region. The strategy's political objective is to

engage the seven Horn countries in a process of dialogue and cooperation that

would ultimately facilitate peace and security in the region.

The partnership strategy responds to three underlying assessments:

a) there is a regional system of insecurity, conflicts in the region can not be

tackled independently of each other – a regional approach is needed;

b) root causes of conflicts in the horn include not only political disputes but also

underdevelopment, poor governance, cross-border problems and competition for

resources – a multi-dimensional approach is needed that integrates political

dialogue, peace and security, development and economic cooperation;

c) deep-rooted problems can not be solved through short term measures – a long

term approach is needed that goes beyond quick responses to violent conflicts

and humanitarian disasters.

Our regional strategy strives hence to address the root causes of instability in the

region and provides a political framework for concrete regional initiatives, by

focusing on three main areas of action:

1. regional political and economic cooperation and integration;

2. country-level strategic political issues;

3. regional cross-cutting and cross-border challenges.

Political will and ownership of the IGAD countries and the EU Members States

are essential to make the Regional Political Partnership work. Other international

partners could be closely associated to provide the necessary political and financial

weight. Besides the AU, UN and other regional organisations, these could include the

US, China, Canada, Norway, Golf countries, the League of Arab States, World Bank

and the European Investment Bank (EIB).

Implementation of Regional Political Partnership

The seven governments of the IGAD region and EC Commissioner Louis Michel and

jointly launched the implementation of the regional strategy for the Horn at a

meeting in April 2007, where it was decided to build a joint development

cooperation agenda for the Horn.

In subsequent meetings, including a Joint Assessment Mission Meeting (JAM) in

October 2007, the Horn initiative partners agreed on regional cooperation activities,

namely interconnectivity in the transport and energy sectors and the regional

management of water resources as an essential element for food security.

In the area of interconnectivity in transport, the experts proposed to initially focus

on transport and trade facilitation, including one-stop border posts and harmonised

procedures, as well as the development of a master plan, which will include roads and

railways.

Within the broader framework of existing NEPAD, COMESA and IGAD initiatives,

the experts agreed to a long term vision of linking the major ports and trading hubs of

the seven countries of the Horn through a “Ring Corridor” and related feeder links.

In the area of interconnectivity in energy the experts proposed the inclusion of all

seven Horn countries in the East Africa Power Pool (EAPP), the strengthening of

national utility companies, a market study to prepare future regional power sharing,

as well as increased power production using renewable energy sources with a long

term vision of interconnecting the Horn countries in the energy sector.

In the area of the regional management of water resources as an essential element

for food security, the experts proposed the establishment of a regional water

dialogue forum, and a series of priority actions to mitigate the effects of flooding,

droughts and water shortage. The programme envisaged will in time assess needs and

develop plans for joint investment in improved regional water management and

infrastructure related to food security.

The JAM cooperation proposals were validated by the EC and the Horn of Africa

countries through a consultation process of our Heads of Delegations with the

National Authorising Officers in the seven countries during Oct/Nov 07. The

proposals were also taken into account in the new regional strategy and indicative

programme (draft 10th

EDF RSP/RIP for Eastern and Southern Africa Region).

At the last IGAD Summit on 16 June 2008 the IGAD Heads of State recommitted

themselves to the EC's Horn of Africa initiative and endorsed the recommendations

made by the experts of the Joint Assessment Mission. It was furthermore agreed to

use the IGAD secretariat as central coordination body for the activities in the

framework of the initiative. To that end, leaders resolved to reform IGAD and jointly

with the Commission an initiative would be undertaken to strengthen the IGAD

3

secretariat. For Eritrea, a parallel mechanism would be found to allow Eritrea, who

has suspended her membership of IGAD to fully benefit from the Horn of Africa

initiative.

In September 2008, the new IGAD Executive Secretary Mahboub Maalim visited

Brussels and EC-IGAD relations were put on a new footing. Close collaboration

was agreed on the Horn of Africa Initiative in which IGAD will fully participate.

Since the visit COM has frequently liaised with IGAD on a variety of issues that are

of strategic and political importance for the Horn.

The European Parliament has adopted on 15 January 2009 by overwhelming

majority a resolution on the Horn of Africa, advocating for a regional approach of

the EU to the multiple, interlinked challenges of the Horn. It strongly supported

the EC's Horn of Africa Initiative and encouraged within this framework the EC's

functional cooperation activities with the seven Horn countries. The resolution also

called for the nomination of an EU special envoy for the Horn of Africa.

At the 3rd

EU-IGAD Ministerial Troika Meeting on 31st March 2009 in Brussels,

both sides decided to speed up the implementation of the EU-Horn of Africa

Initiative.

An EU-IGAD liaison official post will be created at IGAD headquarters shortly in

order to drive forward the Horn initiative and our collaboration with IGAD in general.

The post will be co-funded by the EC and the GTZ.

Latest state of play

The second joint experts experts meeting followed the first joint assessment

(JAM) mission on 12-15 June, 2009 in Mombasa, Kenya. IGAD was fully

involved in it. The meeting prepared a platform of priority projects for a possible

donors conference for the Horn of Africa Initiative. The meeting was a resounding

success. Following fours days of intense and constructive discussions and based on

the politically endorsed results of the first experts meeting, the experts agreed on

proposing four priority road corridors linking the ring corridor to seaports, four

energy interconnectivity links, and six projects in regional water resources

management as an essential element for food security.

Transport: Four priority road corridors linking the ring corridor to seaports are

proposed for a total of 1.267 MEURO: Sudan-Kenya (360 MEURO), Kenya-

Ethiopia (372 MEURO) Sudan-Uganda (385 MEURO), Berbera Corridor Somalia-

Ethiopia (150 MEURO). A trade and transport facilitation programme of 20-25

MEURO is completing the proposal. Two rail connections were proposed (Uganda-

Sudan and Djibouti-Ethiopia). For both links, management and concession issues

need to be resolved urgently; donors can support national authorities to take the

necessary political decisions on this issue.

Energy: Four energy interconnectivity links Eritrea-Sudan (87.5 MEURO),

Ethiopia-Kenya (797 MEURO), Ethiopia-Sudan (1.231 MEURO), Sudan-Uganda

(267 MEURO) and four regional renewable energy projects: Geothermal

development programme (up to 430 MEURO), regional wind power initiative (7

4

MEURO), small scale wind and solar pumps programme (5MEURO), solar

photovoltaics and solar water heaters (10 MEURO).

Water/Food Security: The group unanimously agreed on six projects amounting to

100.5 Million Euro: Water harvesting (17 MEURO), Regional dialogue forum (5

MEURO), groundwater assessment (8 MEURO), capacity building for water

planning institutions (5.5 MEURO), regional water trust fund (60 MEURO) and

rural water supply in Karamoja pastoral areas (5 MEURO).

Donors present at the meeting (ADB, EIB, WB) showed great interest in the

proposals, which are very much in line with a recent joint statement by the European

Commission, African Development Bank and the World Bank on coordinated and

stepped up support for infrastructure development in Africa during the current

financial crisis.

The Commission and IGAD will now work towards a political endorsement of the

results of the Mombasa meeting. Subsequently, feasibility studies will be prepared

with a view towards organising a donors conference in the future.

Meeting Summary

The European Commission, jointly with the countries of the Horn of

Africa and IGAD held a successful second technical experts meeting to

identify project proposals for regional cooperation in the areas of

interconnectivity in transport, energy and regional water resources

management as an essential element for food security.

Provincial Commissioner Ernest Munyi welcomed the participants on

behalf of the Government of Kenya and underlined the political

significance of reinforced cooperation between the countries of the Horn.

The European Commission’s Head of Delegation in Kenya, Ambassador

Eric Van der Linden and IGAD’s Executive Secretary, H.E. Eng.

Mahboub Maalim and representatives of the African Development Bank,

the World Bank, the European Development Bank, COMESA, IRCC,

ICPAC, East Africa Power Pool and the Northern Corridor Transport

Authority (TTCA) also participated.

The meeting was attended by 65 participants. A total of 16 experts from

the Horn countries (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and

Uganda), complemented by experts from the European Commission, the

IGAD Secretariat, COMESA and others. Sudan was represented by

IGAD experts and the Ambassador of Sudan in Kenya participated for the

last day of the meeting.

The technical experts from the Horn countries and the EC based their

discussions on the results of the first experts meeting, which developed a

bold vision for regional integration in the Horn of Africa, including a

Ring Corridor with feeder connections to major ports and regional centers

energy interconnectivity lines and joint water management.

The experts deliberated in three sectoral working groups (transport,

energy, water), each guided by an independent expert in the respective

field who acted as facilitator.

Plenary sessions ensured that all experts had an opportunity to contribute

and comment on the work done by the other groups. This was essential,

given that not all countries were represented in each working group.

Each facilitator prepared and presented in plenary an issues paper based

on the results of the first technical meeting to kick-off discussions.

7

The meeting was held in a constructive and open atmosphere and the

transparent and fruitful discussions allowed great convergence of view on

all topics. In all the three areas, priority proposals were agreed upon and

discussed with the donor representatives present for a first feedback. The

selection of proposals by the experts was made on the basis of a common

set of criteria agreed in plenary.

The proposals will shortly be presented to the Governments of the Horn

of Africa and the European Commission for political endorsement and

subsequently to a donors’ conference on the Horn of Africa Initiative for

financing.

The EC’s Horn of Africa Initiative advances mutual understanding and

facilitates relations between the countries of the Horn of Africa and the

European Commission through joint regional development cooperation to

advance peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.

SECOND TECHNICAL EXPERTS MEETING EC-HORN OF AFRICA INITIATIVE,

MOMBASA, KENYA, 12-15 MAY 2009

HORN OF AFRICA INITIATIVE INTERCONNECTIVITY IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR

The transport working group was composed of delegates from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. The group meeting was also attended by

representatives of EC, IGAD, COMESA, ADB and TTCA (Transit Transport Corridor Authority). The bulk of the work of the group consisted of a review of issues directly concerning:

Transport facilitation

Coordination committee for the implementation of the programme; and

Sub-sectoral projects on roads and railways.

The deliberations were centered on the importance of these issues to the development of the Horn of Africa (HOA) region with emphasis on

connectivity as based on the RING Corridor concept as agreed upon by the HOA countries based on JAM I. The group considered also the feeder road system that connects to the Corridor. Special emphasis was given to trade

and transport facilitation issues associated with the roads and their feeder system.

Four priority road corridors linking the ring corridor to seaports are proposed for a total of 1.267 MEURO: Sudan-Kenya (360 MEURO), Kenya-Ethiopia (372

MEURO) Sudan-Uganda (385 MEURO), Berbera Corridor Somalia-Ethiopia (150 MEURO). A trade and transport facilitation programme (20-25 MEURO) was also considered.

In the field of railways and rail transport, the Malaba-Gulu-Juba-Wau railway

link (822 MEURO) and Djibouti-Addis Ababa Railway link (106 MEURO) were also presented, however subject to prior evolution of management issues.

In the deliberations that followed in the plenary after the presentation of projects profiles, H.E. the Ambassador of Sudan reported that they strongly

support the Juba-Kapoeta-Lokochotio-Lodwar Corridor (Sudan-Kenya), that connects Sudan and Kenya. This is mainly because the people living on both sides of the border are pastoralists who are often engaged in cattle rustling

conflicts. It is expected therefore that the existence of the road would help in minimizing the conflict.

17

With regards to Isiolo-Moyale-Hagremariam Road (Ethiopia-Kenya), the representative of ADB reported that the approval of feasibility study is

completed and the project is now with the ADB Board for approval. He confirmed that both Ethiopia and Kenya sides of the road are under

consideration for approval with high probability of success.

On Malaba-Gulu-Wau Railway link (Sudan-Uganda-Kenya), H.E. the Ambassador of Sudan appealed donors that they sympathize with the project mainly because it connects 3 countries namely: Sudan, Kenya and Uganda.

The representative of Djibouti informed the meeting of the importance of

Djibouti-Ethiopia Railway and pleaded with Donors to considerate it positively because it provides access to the sea for landlocked Ethiopia. The representative of EC informed the meeting that the EC is financing an ongoing

50 Million Euros project aiming to the maintenance of the railway. The continuation of this project depends on the Ethiopia and Djibouti agreement

decisions on the concession of this very important railway line. 150 Million Euros has been spent on the Djibouti-Ethiopia Railway and there will be difficulties to allocate more fund to the project till further clarifications are

made.

The Chairman appealed that further information on various projects should be completed by the countries concerned in order to finalise project preparation.

The table showing all the projects is attached as an annex.

Report of the Technical Experts on Water

Summary

JAM II was organised by IGAD in Mombasa, 12-15 May, 2009. In the context of

this four-day workshop, three working groups have been created to identify

bankable regional projects for transport, water and energy infrastructure.

In the water working group, four countries participated i.e. Djibouti, Ethiopia,

Kenya and Somalia. Taking into consideration the results of the working group

JAM I of October 2007, the feasibility study for regional dialogue in the Horn of

Africa, the proposals on Regional Management of Water Resources of Prof. George

Krhoda and the proposals of the four member states.

After discussion of 17 proposals, the group unanimously agreed on six projects

amounting to 100.5 million Euros. These projects are annexed and presented to the

Report of the Technical Experts on Energy

Summary:

The energy working group composed of experts from Djibouti, Eritrea,

Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda and participants from European

Commission (EC), Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP), IGAD and COMESA.

(Attached: List of participants) met and discussed the issues paper on regional

power interconnectivity and renewable energy development in the Horn of

Africa. The working group worked on the basis of the results and

recommendations from JAM 1 which had identified power interconnectivity

and development of renewable energy sources in the Horn of Africa as

priority.

Within this framework, the energy experts reaffirmed that interconnectivity in

power and increased power production using renewable energy sources were

priority key action areas for consideration for regional development and

integration. The proposed actions would facilitate regional integration while

enhancing the capacity in the sector in the region by strengthening a regional

energy network and eventually facilitating power sharing between the seven

countries of the region. All six countries agreed accordingly to mandate

IGAD/EC to define an agreeable modality that would enable seven Horn of

Africa countries including the ones which have currently suspended IGAD

membership to participate in these programmes. The participating energy

experts agreed on energy clusters programmes proposal as follows:

Power connectivity projects proposals

Renewable energy projects proposals


Ethiopia-Kenya (797 MEURO), Ethiopia-Sudan (1.231 MEURO), Sudan-

Uganda (267 MEURO) and four regional renewable energy projects:

Geothermal development programme (up to 430 MEURO), regional wind

power initiative (7 MEURO), small scale wind and solar pumps programme

(5MEURO), solar photovoltaics and solar water heaters (10 MEURO).

29

Report of the Technical Experts on Energy

Power Connectivity projects:

The proposed actions will facilitate regional integration by strengthening a

regional energy network and eventually facilitating power sharing between the

seven countries of the region.

With regards to power interconnectivity it was agreed by all participants that

EAPP and IGAD should play a lead role in facilitating the interconnectivity.

Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) will play a leading role in coordinating the

different actions and ensuring their overall coherence throughout the region. The

EAPP will assist the Horn of Africa countries in capacity building as well as

development of master plans for energy to facilitate power connectivity.

Unfortunately only three of the seven Horn of Africa countries (Ethiopia, Kenya

and Sudan) are presently members of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP); the

other four (Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia and Uganda) expressed their interest in

joining them as soon as possible. The EAPP’s mission is to make affordable,

sustainable and reliable electricity available to the Eastern African region by

pooling electrical energy resources in a coordinated and optimised manner in

order to increase access to electricity. Although investments in power generation

would be ultimately under the responsibility of the individual countries the group

felt that it should not be ignored as power generation influenced the potential for

inter-connectivity.

The Energy group of experts considered the on-going power interconnectivity

proposals and the levels of their development to determine the prioritisation

appropriate for presentation to the donors as follows:

Those proposals agreed by countries and whose level of development was

advanced and required only funding

The long term development proposals that are important but with

inadequate information with the special case of connectivity programmes of

Somalia.

Those proposals agreed by countries and whose level of development was

advanced and required only funding

Eritrea-Sudan: Feasibility study not yet prepared

Ethiopia - Kenya: Feasibility study completed

Ethiopia-Sudan: Egypt- Full Feasibility study completed

Sudan-Uganda: Feasibility study not yet prepared.

30

The long term development proposals which are important but are faced by

problems of inadequate information with the special case of connectivity

programmes of Somalia

Djibouti-Ethiopia-Somalia: Feasibility study to be prepared

Kenya-Somalia: Feasibility study to be prepared

Renewable energy projects:

With regard to renewable energy development, the expert group considered many

aspects of energy including rising oil prices, fear of future resource shortages

combined with a greater awareness of climate change and the need to diversify

energy sources. The group noted that while the countries of the Horn of Africa were

lagging behind in terms of energy access compared to other regions of Africa, the

sheer distances to be covered by traditional grid, insecurity, vulnerability to climate-

related phenomena contributed significantly. Consideration on decentralised power

delivery systems and development of renewable energy resources could improve the

situation. On the positive side it was noted that some of the Horn of Africa countries

particularly Uganda and Sudan might join the club of oil and gas producing countries

a development that will have significant impact on power generation, inter-

connectivity and energy exchange.

The group considered and reviewed the existing efforts and projects in the region and

in member countries. It was agreed that while these could be implemented through

investment by private sector and governments, they could benefit significantly from

specific support from the sub-regional level projects. This was in respect to enabling

them to leverage more funds at country level. For example the regional geothermal

development facility would focus on four catalytic outputs at a cost of Euro 10

million but would leverage Euro 323 - 430 million for implementation in the Horn

of Africa. In this regards the Sub-regional support projects would add value in:

Capacity building

Research and development

Policy and standards development,

Exchange of best practices and

Pilot and demonstration.

31

After discussing the regional renewable energy projects, the energy group proposed

a first priority group of four priority projects as follows:

Regional Project Budget Estimated Investment

Geothermal development program

for the Horn Africa – to promote

clean sustainable geothermal power

generation in the Horn Africa

Euro 6.0million Euro 323 -430 million
