1.2. Humanitarian Background

1.2.1. Disasters, Conflicts and Migration History

Disasters, conflicts and migration (Yes/No) Comments / details

Natural Disasters

Drought No No droughts in this country

Earthquake Yes December 5th, 2005 – Lake Tanganyika earthquake with epicenter approx. 10 kms below surface of lake – about 55 km south-east of town of KALEMIE; Feb 3rd, 2008 – BUKAVU - South Kivu and Cyangugu regions

Epidemic Yes

Ongoing degrees of epidemic disease outbursts of different sources. Bacterial and Protozoal diarrhea, Cholera, Hepatitis A, Typhoid Fever, Cholera, Plague and African Trypanusomiasis (sleeping sickness), water contact disease and Ebola.

Extreme temperature No None

Flood Yes Congo River Floods (seasonal – during rainy/wet season)

Insect infestation Yes Mosquitoes/Malaria

Slides No Not Applicable to this country

Volcano Yes

Active volcanoes in the east, in Great Rift Valley; Nuamulagira, located 23km of North Kivu, and Africa’s most active volcano, erupted from November 2000 until reaching highest level of activity in February 2002. Threat of eruptions remains imminent.. Eruption of Nyiragongo volcano in January 2002.

Wave/Surge No Not Applicable to this country

Wild fires Yes Sporadic wild fires in the region of Shabunda

Wind storm No Not Applicable to this country

Other comments

Lake Kivu is one of three known exploding lakes; in Lake Kivu's case, methane and carbon dioxide dissolved in the water would become separated and represent a considerable risk due to volcanic activity. The risk from a possible Lake Kivu overturn would be catastrophic. Scientists hypothesize that sufficient volcanic interaction with the lake's bottom water that has high methane gas concentrations would heat water, force the methane out of the water, spark a methane explosion and trigger a simultaneous release of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide would then suffocate large numbers of people in the lake basin as the gases roll off the lake surface. It is also possible that the lake could spawn lake tsunamis as gas explodes out of it. If this were to occur the likely scenario would necessitate a total evacuation of peoples from Goma, Gisenyi, the Lake Kivu surrounds, Bukavu, Cyangugu and Kibuye.

Man-made

Civil strife Yes Ongoing in eastern provinces: BUNIA, GOMA

International conflict Yes Ongoing in Equator and Eastern Provinces. Check Historical Background on Government & Political Conditions above.

Displaced in country Yes Most IDP’s (Internally Displaced persons) are in Eastern Provinces; 1.4 million fighting between govt. forces and rebels since mid 1990’s.

Refugees in country Yes

Refugees from country Yes

Landmines casualties / year Yes Anti Tank Mines/UXO between Kabalo and Kongolo

Other comments Malnutrition rates were high due to wars and food security problems especially in Eastern Provinces where failed harvests also contributed to increase market prices.

1.2.2. Calamities and Seasonal Affects

Seasonal affects on transport (economic, social, climate…)

Transport Comments From <month> to <month>

Primary Road Transport

Due to lack of maintenance of roads, vastness of country, and lack of government funding most primary roads are in greaqt nned of rehabilitation at many points. Another factor is the nonexistence of axle road limitations; this affects roads especially during rainy seasons. Check Road Assessment and maps included for further details.

All year around due to lack of maintenance of roads and bridges. During the dry and wet seasons

Secondary Road Transport Same as above Same as above

Rail Transport Major lack of maintenance of locomotives and wagons and rails. Check also Rail Assessment in LCA for further details

All year around due to lack of maintenance, but especially during the wet season

Air Transport No N/A

Waterways Transport Yes During the wet season Seasons of the year:

• North of Equator: Wet season from April to October; dry season from December to February • South of Equator: Wet season from November to March; dry season from April to October

The seasonal effects on road transport:

• During the wet season, roads are extremely muddy and often not passable. Trips may take more time normal. • During the wet season there is usually a big increase of breakdowns in trucks and thus an increase on spare

parts are required. Furthermore, due to struggle to pass muddy roads, movement of cargo may increase and cause damage such as tear and/or leakage of goods.

• During the dry season, roads may become very sandy thus sometimes impassable, making heavy cargo loads difficult to be transported. Trucks are often stranded until piles of sand are cleared.

The seasonal effects on river transport:

• The draft of vessels may change and it is difficult to load barges to their full loading capacity. • The transport rates also increase during this period • Some of the rivers require special type of barges and at times are not navigable. The rainy season is the

difficult period for sending food to different sites.

1.2.3. Capacities to Respond to Emergencies

• There are no military assets currently available in DRC. The use of military and/or civil defense assets are not currently applied in ongoing relief operations.

A) Exemption Regular Regime (Non-Emergency Response):

Please check “Import Procedures for Relief Commodities” (Annex 4 of LCA) and “Guide des Importations en République Démocratique du Congo” (Annex 12 / In French) for further details and explanations.

National Customs Legislation and Regime

• UN agencies have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the government which exempts UN from taxes on all imports.

• The forwarding agent fills in the official tax exemption form (Fiche IE), and takes it to be registered at OFIDA (Office des Douanes et Assises), the official DRC customs authority.

• The form must be accompanied by a Bill of Lading, an Insurance Certificate, an Invoice, a gift certificate, a packing list, and a Certificate of Origin.

• Once OFIDA has approved and stamped the IE form, the forwarding agent gives all the documents back to WFP who then submits them to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a “Note Verbale”.

• The Ministry signs the tax exemption and the documents are then sent to the point of entry. • At the point of entry, the documents are then stamped successively by different OFIDA departments: the Receiver

(Receveur), the Controller (Vérificateur), and the Customs Police (Brigade Douanière). • All goods entering DRC are inspected by the state owned inspection company, OCC (Office Congolais de Contrôle). • The documents required by the OCC are: Bill of Lading or Waybill, Packing list and Certificate of Origin). • As part of the state inspection, samples are taken of food and medicines upon arrival. These samples are analysed

at a cost of US$30 per test. Once these steps are completed, including for shipments payment by the forwarding agent to ONATRA - the state handling agent, the cargo is then released by the customs brigade of OFID.

Transit Regime

There are 4 different transit regimes in DRC.

• Customs Declaration for goods paying duties and taxes • Customs declaration for goods partially or totally exempted of paying duties and taxes • Customs Declaration to transfer goods from ports, airports, international borders to bonded yard or warehouse • Transit Declaration to transfer goods from a border (port/ airport/ border) to another country (i.e. Matadi

Maritime Port – Kinshasa Dry Port – across the Congo River to Brazzaville (Rep. of Congo). Escorts are compulsory for all bonded goods transferred from borders, ports, airports to destination where goods will finally be custom’s cleared. Transporters (Trucking Companies/ Air transporters) entrusted to do such transfers, must have a special licence obtained from the Customs authorities called (TRD or Transport sous douane). Bonded warehouses can be either public (managed by customs authorities) or private (with a compulsory customs presence). In general largest freight forwarding companies own their private bonded warehouses and of bonded yards. Private Companies also have bonded warehouse to facilitate procedures for their own business (i.e. Automobile Dealers).

2. Logistics Infrastructure

2.1. Port Assessment

There are different types of ports in DRC:

• Maritime Ports (of Matadi, Boma and Moanda/Banana) • River Ports • Lake ports

2.1.1. Matadi Port

2.1.1.1. Port Overview

The Port of Matadi is the only major inter land deepwater sea port in the DRC. It is located on the Congo River estuary, at about 80 nautical miles from its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a very narrow strip of land that controls the lower Congo River and is the only outlet to South Atlantic Ocean. The Port of Matadi is being called by an average of 30 vessels per month of a medium capacity size and the draft limitation on approaching and during berthing should not exceed 22 feet Administratively, Matadi Port is located in the capital (chef de lieu) of the Bas Congo province. The districts of Bas Congo province are Bas Fleuve, Cataractes and Lukaya. The port is managed by ONATRA (Office of National Transport). ONATRA works under the authority of the Ministry of Transport and Communication. The maritime port’s department is the operational department of ONATRA in dealing with:

1) The exploitation and management of the 3 Congolese maritime ports that are Matadi, Boma and Banana. 2) The exploitation of the river traffic on the maritime river navigation (Matadi – Boma – Moanda/Banana).

Stevedoring is done by ONATRA and private stevedoring is not permitted except the 2 flour mills that handle their own cargo. However, the Port of Matadi is actually in an incredibly worn out condition in terms of facilities and port equipment. Almost all of the rail mounted shore cranes are not operational and the remaining few functional are in extreme fragile condition. Therefore, Vessels wishing to call the port should carry their own cargo gears. The port offers stevedoring in 3 shifts, 24 hours a day (from 6:30am to 2:30pm, from 2:30pm to 10:30pm, and from 10:30pm to 6:30am). Matadi port is the most important maritime port of DRC with 90% maritime traffic without including the oil – tanker. It has a potential capacity of handling 2,500,000 Metric tonnes of cargo per year. Matadi port is the most important port in terms of activities.

Matadi Port is currently under pressure to upgrade their installations according to ISPS code (i.e. separation of between public access area and berthing zone) in order to be kept by OMI among the Port classification.

The port is connected with Kinshasa by railroad. It was handling an average of 1.2 million tonnes of cargo a year in the late 1970’s and has now reached almost 2 million tonnes/cargo per year. Efforts to improve river transport apparently have not progressed further in the 1970’s.

Matadi port is the terminal of the railway Kinshasa – Matadi (CFMK – Chemin de Fer Matadi – Kinshasa) 366 kms in length that links the two towns.

The port is 1,610 m long and equipped with 10 quays, this may allow “parking” of ten big ships at the same moment. Sub-divisions of the quays and lengths of each pier are as follows: a) Matadi Quay: Includes pier 1 to 4 for general cargo vessels. This section is no longer in use due to its critically

bad condition. There are talks of renovations underway, but nothing has been done since. • Pier 1: 149 meters • Pier 2: 161 meters • Pier 3: 155 meters • Pier 4: 158 meters b) Fuka Fuka Quay: Piers 5 to 7 for container vessels • Pier 5: 156 meters • Pier 6: 176 meters • Pier 7: 188 meters c) Kala Kala Quay: Includes pier 8 to 10 for mixed cargo vessels. Quay no. 9 is exclusively reserved for bulk

carriers. It is used by MIDEMA AND MINO-CONGO, the two major flour mills in DRC. • Pier 8: 149 meters • Pier 9: 167 meters • Pier 10: 143 meters

21

d) Venise quay or Kenge: 530 meters; upstream reserved to passengers traffic, but no longer in use. e) Ango Ango quay: 120 meters; located at seven kilometers downstream of the port. This special quay is built and

equipped for dangerous merchandise (guns and explosives). The surrounding terrain feature at Matadi has limited the draft of vessels. Permissible draft for navigating the Congo River varies from time to time ranging between 5.8 – 6.0 meters. There are times when the draft on the river Congo has been reduced to 5.8 meters and should be checked with the port authority in advance. During the rainy season the draft decreases and reaches from 5.8 – 6.0 meters. This reduction is due to the increase of sand in Mateba Island, which is on the way through Matadi port. The water reach between Matadi and Banana is under the control of “Regie des Voies Maritimes (RMV)” which ensure the maintenance and piloting of the ships in both sides. RVM is responsible for maintaining the river depths, which used to be up to 8.6m in the past and is also responsible for maintenance of navigational leading lights and tugging. However due to lack of fuel and spare parts for the dredgers, the draft on the river Congo could not be maintained. The leading lights also have been out of order for the last 10 years, thus only daylight navigation is allowed. Matadi Port has 3 working shifts which are as follows:

• From 06:30 am to 14:00 pm • From 14:30 pm to 22:30 pm • From 22:30 pm to 06:30 am • Port operates 24/24 hrs (including weekends and bank holidays)

Other useful information:

• Vessels up to 195 m can be accommodated • Vessel proceeding up the river must at least have a speed knot of 11 knots for Matadi • ONATRA usually advises vessels to use good mooring lines needed due to strong river current • Navigation by night is not allowed according to Congo river regulations • On dry season, the chief pilot of ONATRA usually advises to load vessels at 6.50m • Upon Arrival vessel may be required to proceed to anchor on arrival at the landfall buoy at river. • Entrance is Named “Stella Buoy” (Longitude 12degrees, 22” 53,97” East and Latitude 06’02’04,74 South)

IN April 2008 the DRC Government recently gave management of port to a company called PROGOSA. This Spanish company has for mission to audit ONATRA during a period of 24 months starting June 2008. This audit is aimed to improve the management skills of ONATRA, the information system/network flow, and prepare the restructuring of ONATRA. The mission is conducted in a joint venture with a French company called SISTRA (a branch of SNCF) and the Audit Company called PRICE WATERHOUSE. It is believed that the Port of Matadi will be privatized for better management in future years. For further information pleased refer to website: http://www.progosa.com

2.1.1.2. Port Performance

Matadi Port is the most important maritime port in DRC with more than 90% maritime traffic non inclusive of oil-tankers. It has a potential capacity of handling 2,500,000 Mt of cargo per year N.B.: Upon looking at vessels calls numbers one notices that it has remained more or less the same over the last 3 years. However, upon discussion with Clearing Agents/Shipping Line Agents, the information is, that the capacity of the vessels has increased in order to meet market requirements (Increase of imports and drafts specification/constraints of Port).

2.1.1.3. Discharge Rates1 (ONATRA)

See Annex and http://www.onatra.info Handling operations: Stevedoring and shore handling of containerized and general cargo is performed by the port authority called ONATRA. However, due to lack of handling equipment/on shore cranes (more than 3 Tonnes capacity), only geared vessels should call DRC ports. Cargo is handled compulsorily with shore equipment unless breakdown of port equipment has occurred. However again, the port’s shore cranes can only handle cargo charges below 3 Tonnes. Vessels are not authorized to use their own labour (Crew boys) for stowage or unstowage. However, according to port regulations, all cargo is discharged or loaded on ship’s own risk, and ONATRA (Stevedoring Company takes no responsibility whatsoever for accidents or damage caused to persons, ships, goods or any other object. Stevedoring (Transfer of cargos from vessel hatches to under ship’s tackle):

• Done by ONATRA - using vessel cranes or ONATRA’s shore cranes. • However, ONATRA’s shore cranes can only handle cargo charges below 3 Tonnes

Shore Handling (Transfer of cargos from under ships tackle to warehouse or container terminals):

• Done by ONATRA - using Trucks, forklifts and Reach Stackers • Due to lack of equipment private companies are obliged to use their own private equipment. • CMA-CGM DELMAS using SDV AGETRAF’s equipment; • MAERSK LINE using SOTRACO’s equipment, • BRIDGE LINES also using SOTRACO.

• The equipment of ONATRA is old and deficient and frequent breakdowns are common. As a result discharge

operations are slow. • Productivity: discharge rates depend on number and quality of cargo handling equipments and the productivity

of port Dockers (labor).

1 Sections 2.1.1.3 and 2.1.1.4. may help in measuring charges for charter vessels or consignments and dealing with F.F.

• The average of discharge rate of bagged and general cargo varies between 500 and 750 tonnes per day of 3 shifts.

• For containers the average is 50 to 100 containers per shift for imports. • For exports the average is rather low – 50 containers per shift. • Rates: It must be noted that the ports of DRC are known to be one of the most expensive ports in the world.

Official rate of DRC port are the following: Stevedoring: US$25 per Mt

• This rate is usually included in the sea freight charges. It is charged by ONATRA to the shipping lines - unless vessel is charted and Sea Freight has been negotiated free out (stevedoring charges not included).

• Vessels ETA must be confirmed 24 Hours before arrival in order to allow stevedores to arrange gangs. Shore Handling: US$ 35 per Mt

• ONATRA applies a minimum of 9.8 Tonnes per 20” containers (TEU), and 18.3 tonnes per 40” container (FEU). Shipments are stored in bonded warehouse and/or Terminal containers until customs cleared. Once customs clearance has been obtained, shipments are then loaded from these warehouses or container Terminals onto trucks or rail wagons.

• Direct delivery operation i.e. discharging of cargo from vessel onto truck or wagon is not encouraged by

ONATRA. The reason for such policy is due to the fact that it reduces the discharge productivity.

• The superintendent at Matadi is O.C.C. (Office Control Congo) which is also a Parastatal. They are in charge to do the verification of all import whether it is fit for humanitarian consumption or not. They do the inspection at port with OFIDA (Office de Douanes et Assises).

The Following certificates/documents are needed to be checked for a vessel to call all DRC maritime ports:

• Clearance of the last port • Registry Certificate • Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate • Cargo Ship Safety Radiographic Certificate • International Load Line Certificate • Derating exemption Certificate • Crew Roll

2.1.2.1 Port Overview

The Port of BOMA is located about 88 kilometers from the ocean, and it is the second largest maritime port in DRC after the Port of MATADI. The official draft is limited to 6.5m This factor limits access to small vessel fully loaded and big vessels partially loaded (5,000 to 8,500 TPL). The draft limitation affects both MATADI and BOMA ports. Quays Lengths:

• Quay 1: Length: 170 m, width 15 m • Quay 2: Length: 155 m, width 15 m • Quay 3: Length: 155 m, width 15 m

There is a fourth quay called “quai de batelage’ reserved for small boats, tugs and barges. This quay measures 238 m in length, 33 m of which is reserved to RVM (Regie des Voies Maritimes) for pilot boats. BOMA port’s total quay length is 718 m (480 m reserved for berthing).

• The Port of Boma has eventually an even greater extension capacity for both containers and vehicles in light of

the fact that the Railroad network for the Mayombe has been closed. This space located next to the diesel station is triangular shaped and has the following measurements.

2.1.2.10. Container Terminal

• Containers can be received but due to lack of handling equipment at Boma Port, containers are usually discharged directly from vessel to trucks. When the locomotive is operational, goods are also stocked directly on wagons.

Security and accessibility

• A fence measuring 1,850 m in length and 3 m high is under construction. This work is being done by the port personnel and the investment is completely auto financed by the port authority itself. The estimated cost is $50,000 for 1,500 m.

• This is quite surprising when at the same time in Matadi; the Port has evaluated the construction work needed

to rehabilitate its wall measuring 1,800 meters to 3 Million USD.

• The wall in the Port of BOMA is not comprised of antitheft wires or security cameras.

2.1.2.7 Stevedoring

• Stevedoring is the Transfer of cargos from vessel hatches to under ships tackle. • These operations are performed by ONATRA, using vessel cranes or ONATRA’s shore cranes. • However, ONATRA’s shore cranes can only handle cargo charges below 3 Tonnes.

2.2 Airport Assessment

2.2.1. Civil Aviation

Due to the instability of DRC and the “post War” situation, the country’s airfield situation has remained the same since 2001. Almost no improvement or rehabilitation works have been accomplished other than MONUC’s. It must be noted that due to inadequate safety standards, almost all air carriers certified by the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been banned from operating at airports in the European Community by the European Commission. As of December 2008, Air Tropic was the only company holding adequate and all necessary insurance documents to fly within the DRC. (Unverified source)

2.1.3 Goma Airport

• Goma International airport is the main airfield for the Eastern Corridor of DRC. • It is situated 5 kms from closest town, Goma. • A volcanic eruption partially destroyed it in January 2002. Lava covers a big part of runway (approach and

threshold) and it has high terrain on all sides. • Only about 1,800 m remain. MONUC has repaired a section of runway and has constructed a new apron area. • Length reduction of runway of Goma airport enables aircraft such as Boeing 707 with only half of its payload. • Middle cargo aircraft can also be used in Goma such as B-727, B-737, MD-80, DC-9, and BAC-1-11, C-130,

An-12. The remaining private companies are operating with smaller aircraft. • There is no handling equipment at airport; Loading and Offloading is done manually. • Monuc provides Handling equipment to Humanitarian organizations on request if possible. • There are no storage facilities available at Goma Airport. • Cargo is either offloaded directly or when applicable (cargo) is transited between aircraft to cargo car and from

cargo car to aircraft. • A list of Airline Companies is included in Annex.

2. Road Assessment

2.3.1. Roads Overview

- Since colonial times and into the late 1970’s, the country’s roads have been subordinated as a transport means

to the river-railroad system and no comprehensive network of highways exists between the principal urban centers or administrative seats.

- In 1977, it was estimated that there were a total of 170,000 kms of which about half were considered to have

some importance nationally. The remaining 65,000 to 80,000 kms were of only local interest.

- Only about 2,250 kms were asphalted, the remaining roads had gravel or earth surfaces, and all were generally very poorly maintained. Congo’s extensive river network posed problems in many places for road transport.

- Roads in the areas of civil disturbances have deteriorated substantially. Rather widespread deterioration also

has occurred and no rehabilitation efforts have been made for a long time. Office des Routes was assigned national responsibility for road maintenance and construction since 1972, however this body of government is not functional due to major lack of funds.

- Road infrastructures are generally in bad condition. Many roads are impassable during the rainy season. In

addition during the dry season the roads become very sandy and trucks can get stuck.

- The domestic route having the greatest significance to the national economy is that between the major mining region in the southeast and the seaport of Matadi, comprising a rail link from Lubumbashi to Ilebo, river shipment from Ilebo to Kinshasa, and another rail link to Matadi. This was known as the National Way and its importance as a completely internal route acquired a further meaning in the mid 1970’s.

- Only about 1.3 % of roads in DRC are asphalted although some 7,200 kms of road rehabilitation projects are

underway. The Ministry of Planning is overseeing the road rehabilitation projects. The World Bank is financing some 3,500 kms of National roads.

- The European Union financed the road between Matadi and Kinshasa, and is financing about 2,000 kms of

other road projects from Kinshasa to Bandundu, Kenge and Mbandaka among others. They are also financing a project between Kisangani and Goma.

- DFID is financing 1,300 kms of road rehabilitation projects between Gemena and Kisangani.

- KFW is financing 280 kms of road projects in the North and South Kivu, and the Orientale province.

- African Development Bank is also financing 150 kms between Kinshasa and Kenge.

- Overall, most of the DRC’s road infrastructure is poor and WFP has enormous difficulties to get food or NFI to

food distribution forward bases.

2.3.2. Road Construction & Maintenance

- Roads in DRC are in a general bad condition. They are in great need of urgent interventiuons to allow even humanitarian workers to come and go in order to assist different scenario disaters. In many areas, humanitarian intervention to respond to the population’s needs in many areas is not possible because of inaccessibility by roads.

- Roads are often reduced to simple trails, often flooded due to drainage problems, leading to erosion in the

areas.

- Road rehabilitation allows humanitarian activities to saves lives often threatened by conflicts and other emergency situations. It also allows access and transport of IDP’s to the areas of return.

- Standard strategy of road rehab includes: drainage system rehabilitation, refilling with laterite in certain places,

land clearing and construction of concrete bridges.

- Reopening of certain roads further gives a bolster to the local economy by creating more favorable conditions for commercial exchanges. This will also help reduce vulnerability and poverty in isolated areas.

2.3.5. Road Security

- Road security is good on the Axe Matadi – Kinshasa (road has been rehabilitated in recent years). However it

should be noted that road is narrow and there are many movement of trucks to and from the ports which may create security issue depending on weather conditions (trucks overturn).

- The axe Boma – Kinshasa is in decline and some passages a quite difficult. - The Axe Moanda – Boma is almost impassable to trucks. Only 4x4 can access with difficulties. - In the rest of the country however most roads are in bad condition despite some efforts of improvement in areas

of major traffic due to weather conditions in rainy season. Some roads remain impassable. - There are also major issues of security in the eastern corridor due to the war.

SECURITY


2.3.6. Weighbridges

- There is one weighbridge located inside the Port of Matadi and managed by ONATRA. - All trucks leaving and entering the port are weighed in order to control their aim and therefore control possible

frauds on weight declared. - Possible fraud could impact on security of shore handling equipment (forklifts/cranes) and the income of

ONATRA (invoices are based on weight). - Axle load limitation is not reinforced in the DRC.

2.3.7. Axle Load Limits

- DRC: Axle load limits are based on a 10 tonnes standard axle, although legislation is not enforced at all. No

axle load limitations on secondary roads in DRC despite poor conditions of roads and bridges. However, due to numerous bridges in DRC, some of which are in bad condition, weight limitations on bridges is advised to be limited to 25 Tonnes.

- Burundi: There are no axle load limitations for Burundi.

- Rwanda: Axle load limitations in Rwanda are pending approval of the respective Government.

- Tanzania: The present legislations concerning maximum weight of vehicles is stipulated in the Highways

Ordinance CAP 167, sections 46 and 47, and section s 102 and 103 of the road traffic Act No. 30 of 1973 together with Regulations made under section 114 (1) (p) of the same act. Present regulations are contained in GN No. 54 of 1975, GN No. 1987 and GN No. 263 of 1993 and GN No. 30 of 2001. The axle load limits are based on a 10 Tonnes standard axle.

2.3.8. Bridges

Photos by WFP/Jean François MASSI/Dec 2008- Bridges in the Equator Region / National roads in area of BOENDE The Ministere des Infrastructures, Travaux Publics et reconstruction (MITPR) is in charge on bridge inventory in the DRC. However, many bridges need rehabilitation, some of which are on major road axis. It is therefore not possible to give an exact account of bridges in such vast country.

2.3.9. Transport Corridors

The strategy is to bring food and NFI’s as close as possible to the affected areas. Based on the assessment done in 2008, WFP is already looking at different options in order to maximize the use of the different corridors. WFP Logistics has a flexible strategy that allows use of different corridors and back-up options according to expected risks/constraints. In addition, WFP fleet will be utilized on axis with poor road condition but with MONUC escorts. An increase of current fleet capacity can be considered in case of an increased beneficiary caseload in area of difficult access.

Summary of Role and Services: Management Consortium

2.4.2. Railway Overview

- The railway and river crossings are run by a state company named SOCIETE DES CHEMINS DE FER

CONGOLAIS (SNCC). Over the years and with the wars, the railway has fallen into disrepair with railway tracks, wagons and locomotives needing to be rehabilitated and replaced. This situation makes it difficult to evaluate the capacity of the railway.

- There are two separate railway networks; One from Matadi to Kinshasa, and a much more extensive network

from Sakania in Zambia through Lubumbashi in DRC.

- In the East, the railway network is 3, 641 kms with 858 kms electrified between Lubumbashi and Kamina, and Tenke and Mutshaba.

- There are 10 engines for the electrified tracks in working order and another four that could be rehabilitated.

73

- One of SNCC’s major problems is that they do not have enough funds to do regular maintenance on their engines nor the funds to purchase the larger spare parts required.

- There are 28 diesel electric locomotives for the non-electrified lines (most of the eastern network), but only

about 18 are operational.

The allocation should be as follows: • 8 locomotives for Lubumbashi/Sakania, • locomotives for Kolwezi and the Dilolo line, • 16 locomotives for the rest of the network.

- However, as only 18 are operational, it seems that they are allocated on an ad hoc basis with the largest

number of locomotives being placed on the Lubumbashi – Mwene Ditu (Kassai Oriental) lines where there is a large amount of trade.

- For the Lubumbashi – Kolwezi (mining), Gecamines has leased two locomotives from South Africa and another

mining company named Cargo Management also leased two locomotives from RSZ (in Zambia). - SNCC has claimed to have approximately 4,000 wagons (including open wagons, closed wagons and container

carriers). However, it seems that about 50% of these wagons are beyond repair. SNCC estimates that they have about 1,500 wagons that are in working order but nearly all of them need maintenance. Given that each locomotive can pull 16 wagons at a time and that there are currently 26 locomotives, the total requirement of wagons at any one time is 416. It would seem therefore, that the priority is not with wagons at the present time.

Axes electric: T: True or F: False Rail traction network (including distances fro towns in kms) is as follows:

• From SAKANIA to LUBUMBASHI: Diesel traction 255kms

• From LUBUMBASHI to LIKASI: Electric traction 132 kms • From LIKASI to TENKE: Electric traction 105 kms

• From TENKE to KOLWESI: Electric traction 95 kms • From KOLWESI to MUTSHABA: Electric traction 157 kms

• From MUTSHABA to KASAJI: Diesel traction 130 kms • From KASAGI to DILOLO: Diesel Traction 140 kms • From DILOLO to KISENGE: Diesel traction 168 kms

• From TENKE to LUBUDI: Electric traction 103 kms • From LUBUDI to LUENA: Electric traction 81 kms • From LUENA to BUKAMA: Electric traction 34 kms • From BUKAMA to KAMINA: Electric traction 145 kms

• From KAMINA to KABONGO: Diesel traction 201 kms • From KABONGO to KABALO: Diesel traction 246 kms

• From KABALO to KONGOLO: Diesel Traction 86 kms • From KONGOLO to SAMBA: Diesel traction 127 kms • From SAMBA to KINDU: Diesel traction 228 kms

• From KINDU to UBUNDU: Navigable by barge 310 kms • From UBUNDU to KISANGANI: Diesel Traction 125 kms

2.4.3. Track Totals

• TBA

2.4.4. Railway Links to Adjacent Countries

There is only one currently functioning international link:

• ZAMBIA - yes - same gauge - 1067 mm, connects with railways of Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa. This link is not operating:

• ANGOLA - yes - same gauge - 1067 mm, but link to the port of Benguela has been unusable since the 1970s.

Boat links to rail lines in these neighboring countries: • REPUBLIC OF CONGO - no direct link, but ordinary ferries across the Congo River from Kinshasa to

Brazzaville can take passengers and freight to the CONGO –Ocean Railway (same gauge 1067 mm) which runs from Brazzaville to the Atlantic port of POINTE-NOIRE.

• TANZANIA no direct link but boats take freight between Kalemie and KIGOMA from where Tanzania's Central Line runs to the seaport of Dar es Salaam; there once was a train ferry from Kalemie built in 1917; break of gauge 1067 mm/1000 mm.

These neighboring countries have rail systems, but there are no links from the Congo:

• SUDAN - no - same gauge 1067 mm • UGANDA- no - break of gauge1067 mm/1000 mm.

These neighboring countries have no rail systems: • CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC • RWANDA • BURUNDI

2.4.5. Proposed Rail Projects

In September 2007 it was reported that China would provide US$5 billion for new infrastructure projects including rehabilitation and construction of new sections to link Sakania and Lubumbashi to Matadi (3200 km), to be completed in 3 years. A line from Uganda to Kasese was proposed in 2005.

2.4.6. Stations & Dry Ports

There are several dry ports in Kinshasa. The major one is TCPK Due to incapacity to really evaluate railway network, it is quite impossible to determine ETD and ETA. In Province of Katanga, contacts were made with SNCC authorities and weekly meetings have been set up in order to better follow up tracking of wagons and locomotives. WFP should consider appointing a logistics officer in strategic town (KAMINA) to give daily/weekly reports on movement of wagons thus cargo. SNCC has an updated list of tariffs dated June 20, 2007. Please check in Annex list of tariffs.

2.5. Waterways Assessment

2.5.1. Waterways Overview

There is 15,000 kilometers of navigable waterways in DRC. Main ports and port terminals:

- BANANA (BAS CONGO) - BOMA (BAS CONGO) - MATADI (BAS CONGO)

75

- KINSHASA (dry port/Capital) - BUKAVU (SOUTH KIVU) - BUMBA, GOMA (NORTH KIVU) - KALEMIE (north of KATANGA) - KINDU (MANIEMA) - KISANGANI (PROVINCE ORIENTALE) - MBANDAKA (EQUATEUR).

• The Congo River system is composed of three distinct sections - the upper, middle and lower Congo. • The Lualaba River and Luvua River join together and then continue on to the Boyoma (Stanley) Falls • Navigation is possible in the upper Congo by large vessels with low tonnage • Kisangani is situated downstream from the Boyoma Falls and is at the beginning of where the Congo River

becomes navigable… for 1,600 kms the river flows towards Kinshasa. • At first the river is narrow but soon widens as it enters the alluvial plain. • From the point where the river widens, strings of islands occur which divide the river into different arms.

• The width of the Congo River can vary from 5 km to 12 kms at the mouth of the Mongala River. • Along the banks of the river are natural levees which have been formed by deposits of silt. • When the river floods these levees are washed away and the river boundaries are increased. • The middle Congo is characterized by the narrowing of the river.

• The banks are a half-mile to a mile apart, the river is much deeper and its current is faster. • This section of the river is referred to as the Chenal (Channel) or Couloir (Corridor). • It is along this stretch of the river that its principal tributaries flow into the Congo. • They include the Ubangi River, Sangha River and the Kwa River.

• From the middle Congo (Chenal) the river divides into two, one branch forms Malebo Pool, which is 24 kms by

30 kms in size. This is the end of the middle Congo. • Downstream are the first of 30 waterfalls as the river continues to flow towards Matadi. • At Matadi, the Congo's estuary begins in a narrow channel only about 1 km wide. • Eventually it widens below Boma but islands are once again a factor, dividing the river into several arms. The

Congo now flows freely into the Atlantic Ocean.

• Due to the fact that the Congo has many tributaries, the Congo River is the biggest transportation source in Central Africa.

• The Ubangi River is a major tributary, along with the Aruwimi, Kasai, and Lomami Rivers. • The Congo River and all the streams that contribute to it together account for over 15,000 kms of navigable

routes across Central Africa.

• Barges carrying loads of 800 to 1,100 tonnes are able to navigate at least 1,000 kms of the Congo throughout the year. These barges carry fuel, wood, minerals and agricultural produce and are a communication and transportation resource for those areas that are not served by roads.

• There are three main transportation routes, which come together downstream at Kinshasa on the Malebo Pool. • These three routes have their origins in three places: Kisangani, Ilebo (on the Kasai River), and Bangui (on the

Ubangi River). • These routes have continued to aid economic development in those areas that are further inland and do not

have access to the coast for shipping, etc. • To facilitate transportation, railway systems have been built to complete the routes inland to the coastal regions

along the Atlantic Ocean. However, the river system in some areas is a drawback.

• There are only a few bridges that cross the river and its tributaries at present time, some are in urgent need of rehabilitation.

• This problem can only be solved in the future with cooperation and funds provided by the countries through which the river flows.

• The Congo River's flow and water levels are affected by the rains year round. This is due to the effects of

rainfall throughout the regions whose rivers and tributaries contribute to the Congo River that influence the fluctuations in the flow of the river.

• However, because the Congo basin is an immense area, the weather pattern in one particular region will not have much effect on the river's overall levels (for example, heavy rainfall in the northern areas that contribute to the Ubangi River may cause flooding in the region itself, but generally do not lead to a drought in a southern portion of the Congo basin). Because of the vastness of the area, by the time the river's waters join together, very little effect will be seen.

• This allows the river's flow to balance out and not change too drastically during the year.

76

• Patterns have been established in the past and the river can be expected to have higher levels in December and May due to the rainy season.

• Levels are expected to be low in March and April and even lower in July in response to the dry season. • If some of the weather patterns change drastically, resulting in floodwaters arriving at the same or different

times, then the anticipated water levels will be affected accordingly. • The flow has been recorded as high as 90,000 m³ per second during the flood of 1962. Its lowest level was

recorded in 1905 at 25,000 m³ second.

• The DRC has more navigable rivers and moves more passengers and goods by boat and ferry than any other country in Africa. Kinshasa, with 7 km of river frontage occupied by wharfs and jetties is the largest inland waterways port on the continent. However, much of the infrastructure — vessels and port handling facilities — has, like the railways, suffered from poor maintenance and internal conflict.

• The total length of waterways is estimated at 15,000 km including the Congo River, its tributaries, and

unconnected lakes. • The 1,000 km Kinshasa-Kisangani route on the Congo River is the longest and best-known. • It is operated by river tugs pushing several barges lashed together, and for the hundreds of passengers and

traders these function like small floating towns. • Rather than mooring at riverside communities along the route, traders come out by canoe and small boat

alongside the river barges and transfer goods on the move. • Most waterway routes do not operate to regular schedules. • It is common for an operator to moor a barge at a riverside town and collect freight and passengers over a

period of weeks before hiring a river tug to tow or push the barge to its destination. 2.5.1.1. International Links via Inland Waterways

• Kinshasa is linked to Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, by regular boat and ferry services 3.5 kms across the Congo River.

• Kinshasa and other river ports via the Ubangui River to Bangui (Central African Republic). • Goma and Bukavu on Lake Kivu to Gisenyi, Kibuye and Cyangugu in Rwanda. • Kalemie, Kulundu-Uvira and Moba on Lake Tanganyika to Kigoma (Tanzania), Bujumbura (Burundi) and

Mpulungu (Zambia). • Kasenga and Pweto on the Luapula River-Lake Mweru system to Nchelenge, Kashikishi and Kashiba in

Zambia. • Lake Albert: two small ports on the DRC side, Kisenye near Bunia and Mahadi-Port in the north can link to

Ugandan ports at Butiabo and Pakwach (served by Uganda Railways) on the Albert Nile, which is navigable as far as Nimule in southern Sudan. Water transport is conducted principally in small craft, and commercial water transport is relatively absent.

• Lake Edward: located within national parks, settlements are small, water transport is conducted principally in small craft, and commercial water transport is absent.

2.5.1.2. Domestic Links via Inland Waterways The middle Congo River and its tributaries from the east are the principal domestic waterways in the DRC. The two principal river routes are:

• Kinshasa to Mbandaka and Kisangani on the River Congo • Kinshasa to Ilebo on the Kasai River

The most-used domestic lake waterways are:

• Kalemie to Kalundu-Uvira on Lake Tanganyika • Bukavu to Goma on Lake Kivu • Fimi River to Inongo on Lake Mai-Ndombe • Irebu on the Congo to Bikoro on Lake Tumba • Kasenga to Pweto on the Luapula-Mweru system • Kisenye to Mahadi-Port on Lake Albert.

River/Lake Port Assessment River transport is the most important way of transporting in a country where there are few passable roads. It is also significantly cheaper than road/rail transport. It is equally important for the passenger traffic. There are 15,000 kms of navigable waterways in DRC, consisting chiefly of the Congo and Kasai rivers and their tributaries, which reach out into almost all sections of the country. Except North East, the river transport forms the primary transport network in DRC. The importance of movement of cargo via river transport would likely increase even in the future River transport was under the control of the Office National des Transport du Zaire, which in the mid - 1970’s operated a fleet of over 700 barges, more than 100 tugboats, and some twenty-five to thirty motor vessels of other types. The fleet was in fairly in good condition but operational efficiency was relatively low. In 1977 Mobutu announced that the ONATRA monopoly on river transport was to end and declared that anyone who had the means could build river boats and operate cargo and passenger services freely. The movement of cargo via river transport is two ways. One is the transporting of cargo to the different provinces from Kinshasa which is related mainly to the imported cargo through Matadi Port and cement. The second one is the transportation of especially agricultural products from the different parts of the country into Kinshasa. 2.5.2.1. Kinshasa Ports There are River and Dry ports in Kinshasa.

• River Ports: One is managed by ONATRA (TCPK), and the others are managed by private companies (TFCE, NOCAFEX, and MPAKASA).

• Dry Ports: Most of them are managed private companies (generally managed by freight forwarding agents) except for one called TCPK which is managed by ONATRA.

2.5.2.1.1. Kinshasa River Ports TCPK:

• TCPK is the largest river port. • This company is an extension of the port of Matadi • The length of the quay is 1,560 m for a maximum capacity of 20 barges. • The bonded yard/storage area measures 107,532 m² (asphalt surface) • 82,500 m² for containers storage (more or less 4000 TEU’s) • 25,032 m² for break bulk cargo and timber logs • 60,500 m² of storage facilities

2.5.2.7. Kalemie Port

• Description

• Kalemie, formerly Albertville, is a town on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika in the DRC. • The town is next to the exit of the Lukuga River flowing out from Lake Tanganyika to the Lualaba River, to the

west of KIGOMA in TANZANIA. It is the main entry point from Tanzania to DRC. • The port at Kalemie was built to connect the Great Lakes rail line (from the Kabalo junction on the Lualaba

River) to the Tanzanian lake port and railhead at KIGOMA, from where the Tanzanian Central Railway Line runs to the seaport of DAR ES SALAAM.

• The port was built with a 130 m wharf and 3 mobile cranes, giving it a capacity of 500 Mt per day with two shifts. Kalemie Port is operated by the railway company SNCC which also operates the railways in DRC (except for the Matadi-Kinshasa line) as well as boat services on the eastern waterways in the country.

• The cranes are non functional, and vessels cannot reach the wharf due to silting up of the lake next to it. • The railway line for 100 km west of Kalemie is 'much degraded' and not fully operational. • Kalemie Port is also used by boat services to the northern Lake Tanganyika ports of Kalundu-Uvira and

BUJUMBURA in BURUNDI and southwards to Moba and MPULUNGU in ZAMBIA. • SNCC has a fleet of 4 barges (one of which is dedicated to coal) but there are at least 30 private barges that

operate on the lake. • SNCC is currently rehabilitating an additional barge to satisfy increased demand for barge transport. • The barges have a capacity of between 500 to 1,000 Mt but the lake has not been dredged for many years. • During the dry season from May to December only barges of 200 Mt capacity can enter the port.

The port and the railway station are adjacent to each other.

• In Kinshasa, WFP has warehouses with capacity of 3,000 Mt. • Storage is located in container yard and warehousing complex of Congo Containers. • It is rented from SDV Agetraf/Congo Containers. • SDV Agetraf provides laborers, security guards, and is also responsible for regular fumigation. • Warehouse has a rail siding and is secure • There are no storage facilities in Matadi although this corridor is an important one in terms of cargo tonnage. • ONATRA does not have storage facilities to rent.

GOMA

• WFP has 5 warehouses at present time. • Three of the buildings are situated within and next to office compound. • One is located next to office recently rented from OFIDA authorities. • One is at the port used free of charge from SNCC. • SPS is the labor company used at TMK Warehouse and AMAPOG at SNCC warehouse. • There are no private pest control companies in GOMA. • Pest control is a problem at the port warehouse as adjacent warehouse run by SNCC is not clean.

BUKAVU

• Warehouse space used/rented by WFP in Bukavu is owned by the OFFICE NATIONAL DE CAFÉ. • Warehouse space is also rented by ICRC. Visited during LCA, warehouse appears in good shape. • Building is suitable, goods are protected (put on palettes), warehouse in adequately ventilated and secured by

guards.

93

• As warehouse is located on land next to Lake Kivu, construction work is underway to have direct access to lake by the means on a pontoon. This will facilitate transport of goods to different sites.

• WFP warehouses are available in Bukavu. ACF and UNHCR have small warehouses. • There are no pest control companies in Bukavu.

BUNIA

• WFP rents a warehouse from TABACONGO. Most of WFP’s implementing partners also have warehouses in Bunia.

• There are other warehouses available for renting. • There should be a greater demand from the commercial sector fro warehouse space once N2 road from

Kisangani to Bunia is completed. • WFP has a contract with ETABLISSEMENT 2M who employs 30 handlers and additional laborers can be added

if necessary. Finding labour is not a problem in Bunia. • There are no pest control companies in Bunia.

KALEMIE

• WFP has two concrete warehouses. One has a capacity of 800 Mt and the other of 200 Mt. • These warehouses are situated within the office compound. • The 800 Mt building is rented out to FHI (Food for Hungry International) due to the cost of the complex and in

order to assist FHI as part of the logistics cluster. • The problem with warehouses within the office complex is that they are situated about 7 kms from the port and

the main rail station. As the majority of the commodities are to be transported by rail, this means a doubling of costs trucking commodities back to railway station, adjacent to port.

• WFP has therefore identified a large warehouse at the railway station which SNCC is prepared to rent to WFP. • Storage capacity is approximately 1,000 Mt and is situated next to a rail siding. • There are no private pest control companies in Kalemie.

UVIRA

• WFP’S warehouse is located in the port of Kalundu, 10 kms from town of Uvira. • There are no pest control companies in Uvira.

2.6.1. Commercial Storage

• Not available 2.6.2. Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations

• Storage space capacity has been made available through ILS (Inter Agency Logistics Services). • Requests should be directed to WFP/ILS. • WFP has storage facilities in 17 different locations countrywide in DRC. • This storage may be provided in LKinshasa, Goma, Kalemie, Mbandaka, and Lubumbashi. • More than 15 users are already using ILS storage service throughout the DRC which in terms of numbers

represents 25 requests – 4,000 m³ – 1,400 m³ of humanitaqrian NFI’s managed and stored with ILS support.

3 Logistics Related Services 3.1. Fuel 3.1.1. Fuel Overview Fuel in the DRC is handled by SEP (Service des Entreprises Petrolieres Congolaises), a semi-public company. The main shareholders are COHYDRO (36,6%), ARISTEA GROUP (TOTAL/ENGEN) (36,6%), SHELL OVERSEAS HOLDING (13%), COBIL (7,8%) and SCP-ELF (6%). SEP is responsible for Receipt, storage, handling, transport and quality control of refined oil products from the entry point in the country to the delivery/consumption point. As a consequence, the company is in charge of countrywide maintenance, security and development of fuels infrastructure and equipment in compliance with technical and security standards. SEP-CONGO is also the exclusive customs agent for the customs clearance of oil products. SEP has 25 inland depots, 10 depots at the airports, and 3 pumping stations. SEP imports approximately 450,000 m³/year and has storage capacity for 155,000 m³. Diesel is the main fuel consumed in the DRC. Purchase of fuel is done through the operating fuel companies: SHELL, FINA, ENGEN, COHYDRO (National Company), Congo Oil (a local company) and COBIL (exonmobil). In Kinshasa, there is a common UN fuel depot for all UN agencies excluding MONUC. The fuel is supplied from SHELL and a coupon system operates. WFP has a shortlist for the purchase of fuel for its sub offices in Matadi, Kisangani, Lubumbashi, and Mbandaka. In Eastern DRC, fuel is purchased from smaller private companies. The supply of fuel to most operational WFP areas by road and rail areas is non existent due to broken down infrastructure or non existent roads and bridges and lack of locomotives. Only limited capacity of fuel barge tankers exists on Lake Tanganyika.

Summary of Role and Services: 3.1.2. Fuel Supply & Storage SEP-CONGO operates with 1,500 staff members in the following locations:

• 38 depots and bases owned or rented by SEP-CONGO all over the country. • The overall storage capacity is 232,275 m³ (25 inland depots, 10 depots at airports and 3 pumping stations)

• A pipeline network with a length of 719 km and a pumping capacity of 800,000 m³ per year. • The pipeline transports the following liquid refined hydrocarbons: Petrol, Jet A1 and diesel.

The network of pipelines consists of:

• Pipes of 15cm diameter on the Matadi-Kinshasa axis (666 km) • 1 pipe of 15cm diameter on the Massina-HRS N’Djili axis (11 km) • Pipes of 15cm and one of 25cm on the Massina-Kinshasa axis (42km) • A fleet (5 pushers/barges), • A rolling stock (115 units comprising 113 rail fuel cars and 2 locomotives), • Road transport (35 trailers, 32 prime mover tractors, 31 semi-trailers, 22 fuel road tankers and 5 fuel trailers). • The general condition of the listed equipment may be assessed as “functional but not good,” mainly due to the

factional fighting and internal conflicts over the past years. The current operational storage capacity is approximately 155,000 m³, which accounts for roughly 2/3 of the total storage capacity. The reasons for this low amount are as follows:

• General deterioration of the economy, particularly in the manufacturing and transport sector. As consequence, the main activity is now concentrated in Kinshasa.

• Due to fighting, areas that were previously commercial no longer are, except in those areas where MONUC is present.

• Emergence of large smuggling operations capitalizing on the illegal importation of fuels in the South (e.g. - Lubumbashi, Kananga)

• There is a pipeline network from MATADI to Kinshasa which transports petrol, JET A1 and diesel. • In addition, SEP has a fleet of 5 barges and 5 pushers, 113 rail fuel cars, and 2 locomotives, and 120 road

vehicles. However, much of the logistics infrastructure is not in good working order.

100

Some 27,000 barrels a day of oil are produced from both on and off-shore locations in DRC. There are currently no operating refineries in the DRC although the Government is reportedly seeking partners to build a new refinery with a capacity of 750,000 MT/year. It appears also that there are no strategic stocks of fuel held by SEP. All fuel requirements for Katanga region are either imported from South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, or Kenya.

• South Africa: directly by road and rail to Lubumbashi and Mpulungu in Zambia for DRC; • Tanzania: via Dar Es Salaam to Lubumbashi and via Kigoma to Kalemie, Moba and Uvira in DRC; via Zambia

by road to Lubumbashi; • Zambia: by road and rail to Lubumbashi or from Mpulungu by barge/ tanker to Moba/Kalemie/Uvira (under

assessment); • Kenya: via Rwanda, Burundi by road through Bujumbura to Uvira in RDC for Kalemie and Moba by barge.

The main bulk storage in DRC is handled by state owned SEP Congo who is affiliated with FINA, COBIL, CONGO OIL, ELF, and SHELL. The Humanitarian community and UN agencies have expressed interest during logistics cluster meetings to maintain a common approach in supplying fuel especially to remote hubs. With WFP’s interagency fleet now spread out in Katanga province and with approval of Interagency garage in Kalemie, there is a critical need to establish a storage facility and have a consistent supply of fuel maintained in Katanga Region. This should keep fuel prices stable, even under momentary fuel crisis. WFP/Interagency Fleet: With the main WFP operational areas being Moba, Kilwa, and Kalemie, the current supply requirement of 20,000 Liters/month is being maintained from Lubumbashi and is trucked in 200 litre drums using interagency fleet. During the rainy season from November to May, the roads are often impassable with trucks stuck for up to 2 weeks or more. 3.1.3. Fuel Marketing & Local Distribution Oil Companies. The major oil companies working in the DRC are:

• Shell: A major oil company.

• Fina: A relatively new to the DRC market

• Total: A strong company that owns Elf. Total Operates in the DRC as part of the Group Aristea.

• Engen: A company with its base in South Africa, owned by Petronas of Malaysia. Engen operates as part of the Group Aristea with Total.

• Cohydro: The National Oil Company. It is a company that urgently requires investment

• Congo Oil: A local company mainly found in the Kinshasa area.

• Cobil: The remnants of the Mobil Group now Exxon Mobile. Operates where SEP have storage; With

previous/regular increase in fuel prices The sources of fuel in DRC arrive via importation from the following corridors:

• Western Corridor: Carries approximately 85% of domestic fuel and is fed by tankers arriving in the Ports of Banana and Matadi in the Bas Congo Province. The unloading is at the Matadi and Ango–Ango terminal where 50 m tankers can be accepted.

• Southern Corridor: Fed from Tanzania by road and South Africa by fuel rail wagons at Kasumbalesa. This

route is plagued with problems such as insufficient funding for such basic commodities as diesel to run the locomotives.

• Eastern Corridor: Fed from Kenya/Uganda in the North and Tanzania in the South. This corridor has for some time been affected by the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) and its problems of under capacity.

• MONUC gets its JET A1 from Tanzania. In eastern DRC, fuel is purchased from local companies. • Fuel supply in Goma is provided by JUMBO SAFARI, AFRICOM, MUNSAD, PETROLCONGO,

SUPERSTATION, STATION SSS, STATION IBB, and GRACE A GLOIRE. All these fuel stations import fuel from Kenya, and it is inspected by SEP Congo. However, in the east, SEP does not control the supply except for JET A1 which sells directly to customers.

• In Bukavu, fuel arrives by road from Kenya via Rwanda. Local distributors include: GINKI, OLIVE, and MOBIL.

101

• In Uvira, fuel comes from Tanzania. GINKI is the sole distributor in Uvira.

• Fuel supply from Zambia: In the last few years there have been no problems of supply for diesel and petrol, but

JET A1 is a problem. Commercial suppliers in Kalemie and Moba:

• ABS Mamry: declined to respond to last RFQ to supply bulk fuel from Tanzania due to price fluctuations and is not interested in selling tax free. Furthermore, they do not have storage facility and presently rent SEP Congo storage through FINA. They are planning to install their own fuel station in the near future.

• ECO Prop: Normally, they buy their fuel from Kenya via Uvira in drums however they do not have a storage

facility and are not consistent.

• SEP Congo in Kalemie: Has bulk fuel storage (duty free) in Kalemie to handle Gas oil, Petrol and Jet A-1, with a strategic rail link from Kalemie Port.

• SNCC Kalemie: Has only one tanker called KALONDA with a capacity of 120m3 in working condition, but not

self propelled.

• Supply from Lubumbashi: Congo Oil has expressed interest in supplying fuel using/SEP Congo fuel tankers by rail to both Kalemie and Kindu.

3.2. Transporters 3.2.1. Transport Market Overview Ground transport in DRC has always been difficult. On the other hand, the DRC has thousands of kilometers of navigable waterways, and traditionally water transport has been the dominant means of moving around approximately two-thirds of the country. As an illustration of transport difficulties in the DRC, even before wars damaged the infrastructure, the so-called "national" route, used to get supplies to Bukavu from the seaport of Matadi, consisted of the following:

• Matadi to Kinshasa - Rail • Kinshasa to Kisangani - River boat • Kisangani to Ubundu - Rail • Ubundu to Kindu - River boat • Kindu to Kalemie - Rail • Kalemie to Kalundu (the lake port at Uvira) - Boat on Lake Tanganyika • Kalundu to Bukavu - Road

Air transport is the only effective means of moving between many places within the country. The Congolese government, the United Nations, aid organizations and large companies use air rather than ground transport to move personnel and freight. The UN operates a large fleet of aircraft and helicopters, and compared to other African countries the DRC has a large number of small domestic airlines and air charter companies. Links through neighboring countries are generally more important for the east and south-east of the country, and are more heavily used, than surface links to the capital. 3.2.2. Ground Transportation & Trucking Companies There are no specific rates or tariffs (despite Union Agreement), although most major trucking companies in DRC generally tend to apply through their union the same basic rates for similar axes. Rates applied are usually based upon requests of quotation. Due to size of the country, the conditions of the roads, there is not one company capable to offer its services all over DRC. The following are just a few Transport companies contacted for details, a shortlist Logistics providers, is provided in Annex for different areas of operations.

3.7. Electricity / Power

• The Congo River has an average flow of over 40,000 m³/sec, which is an exceptional source of energy. It is estimated that this river represents around 13% of the world’s hydroelectric potential. Its force alone could satisfy the electricity requirements of the entire African Continent.

• In May 2006, Mage-Energy (Canada) began overseeing the refurbishment and rehabilitation work on the INGA dam, which is operating at 40% of its capacity. The repairs should allow the two INGA generating units to work at full capacity (1,774 MW) by 2010.

• Unfortunately, in many rural areas of the country, petrol generators are still the only source of electricity. Main Producer, Distributor & Address Contact Names & Email Telephone Website

4 Scenario’s & Contingencies The following sub-chapters attempt to map the potential scenarii as outlined in own or inter-agency contingency planning exercises, assess the impact and expected response.

• Since late August 2008, heavy fighting between Government forces (FADRC) and rebel leader Laurent Nkunda’s Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP) in North Kivu has jeopardized the January 2008 ceasefire agreement and displaced more than 100,000 people.

• Further, the Ugandan rebel group Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has attacked villages in Ituri, displacing up to

100,000 people. The UN Mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (UN MONUC) has more than 17,000 peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with a mandate to forcibly implement the ceasefire agreement.

PIPELINE SITUATION

• As of October 24, the total projected shortfall for DRC PRRO 10608.0 from November 2008 through April 2009 is more than 21,000 metric tonnes, equivalent to US$28.5 million.

• The PRRO has outstanding financial advances totaling to US$8.5 million, bringing the total project funding

needs to nearly US$37 million over the next six months.

• Without significant efforts to avert a crisis, the situation in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is on the verge of a war that could engulf the entire region.

(Source: WFP REGIONAL ALERT article “Crisis in Eastern DRC, dated October 30th, 2008).

4.1 Refugees & IDP’s

Logistics Considerations (e.g. existing capacities / augmentation vis a vis scenario)

General There is limited commercial storage this area and generally in fighting areas. Additional temporary storage capacity, staff and resources will be required. Securing additional transport is another requirement

Storage Limited commercial storage in this area so extensive use of Wiik Halls would be required to accommodate needs

Transport Securing additional transport is a crucial requirement. 4.2 Food Security Locally procured food within DRC normally comes from the North Kivu area. Therefore, in worst case scenario, this option could not be pursued. It is likely that raw materials will remain blocked in villages given the highly insecurity of road travel/transport. The areas most affected will be GOMA and BUNIA which will most likely be completely cut off. Logistics Considerations (e.g. existing capacities / augmentation vis a vis scenario) General Chronic food insecurity can result from intense fighting in area, changing rainfall patterns and/or

119

a decrease in food production due to reasons above, leading to massive movements of IDP’s. Abrupt changes in market prices of staple foods and prohibitively high market prices, massive population movements

Storage

Additional storage will be needed in locations/at point of distribution. Total capacity requirements would depend on further scenario development and contingency planning; however there is limited commercial storage in this area so the use of Wiik Halls would be required to accommodate WFP and NGO’s needs.

Transport

Inter-agency intervention will be required. Further scenario development and contingency planning is needed to determine potential needs, however it is clear that existing logistics systems would be insufficient to cope with such and increase in requirements. WFP fleet would be insufficient to handle the increased requirement so trucking would be the most logical solution in this event.

4.3 Natural Disaster Large scale volcanic eruption or methane explosion in Lake Kivu Natural disasters have been taken into account in the scenario but not in the strategic response plan, given the unpredictability of this type of event. In case of a natural disaster affecting an area of the DRC (flood, volcano eruption, earthquake, etc...) a Flash Appeal could be made in consultation with authorities and humanitarian partners. A coordination group will be set up should such a disaster occur.

OPERATIONAL PLAN WORSE CASE SCENARIO EASTERN DRC Rationale This document is meant to:

1) Briefly review current contingency planning assumptions for the Kivus and Orientale Province; update/convert them into an operational plan for the worse case scenario;

2) Highlight/suggest alternative operational options (their gaps and constraints) based on the level of humanitarian access.

Review

The 2008 planning assumptions are still valid with the 2008 worst case scenario increasing its relative likelihood over time. The continued failure to implement the various agreements and failure to resolve key issues in eastern DRC, led to a resumption of conflict on August 28, 2008 between Government forces (FADRC) and rebel leader Laurent Nkunda’s Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple (CNDP) with major humanitarian consequences in North Kivu, South Kivu and Orientale Province.

A cease-fire has been agreed between the CNDP leader L. Nkunda and SG Special Envoy Olusegun Obasanjo on November 16 in Jomba (Rutshusu territory). Key points of the agreement were: (1) implementation of a sustainable ceasefire; (2) set- up of a tripartite verification mechanism comprising the FARDC, the CNDP and a third party accepted by all parties; (3) the opening and respect of humanitarian corridors to allow access to relief aid for IDPs and the recognition of SGSE as mediator.

Although the current situation is less tense, an increasing level of conflict of a more protracted nature is still expected, involving the CNDP and the FARDC/MONUC, FDLR and/or Mai-Mai militias with potential cross border support for various factions.

EW Indicators: The Security Situation continues very unstable tense and volatile in the Eastern DRC with absent of positive indicators at all levels for the resolution of the Conflict.

• Recent attempts by Kabila's government to co-opt Nkunda and his forces have backfired, strengthening Nkunda’s forces and strengthening hardliners in the Presidential circle who prefer a military solution. CNDP

120

continued to expand the zone under its control gaining the entire territory of Rutshuru, posing a direct threat to Kanyabayonga. CNDP currently controls Rwindi (30 Km south of Kanyabayonga) and the area of North Kikuku (20 Km south of Kanyabayonga on the Nyanzale- Kanyabayonga axis).

• The capability of FARDC to defend Kanyabayonga is questionable due to internal mutiny and the semi-collapse of its command and control structures. Given the systemic weakness of the Congolese army, the DRC government has allied itself with the FDLR for military operations against Nkunda.

• Moreover on the eve of the disengagement process within the framework of Amani, remark divergences are emerging among the Mayi-Mayi groups which might derail the entire process. Main potential threats FDLR– FRF and Banyamulenge Armed Groups – PARECO – CNDP – RASTA– FNL– Mayi-Mayi – Demobilized soldiers – Non-brassaged soldiers – FARDC– GR – Demonstrators. � The potential increases for Rwanda to be drawn back into Congo -- as in the two previous wars. � Potential for Burundi to be destabilized given the current political trends; The Burundi army has is officially on a war footing at the end of November. Most of the army are Tutsis. Tension is increasing between the Burundian army and Hutu rebels.

In particular:

• ORIENTALE PROVINCE -The FRPI / FPJC Militias threat in Irumu territory persists in spite of the on going joint FARDC / MONUC military operations. � Dungu Territory likely to deteriorate (after 29 November) should Kony (LRA Militia leader) refuse once more to sign the Final Peace Agreement as scheduled. As a consequence, the FARDC/MONUC operations, supported by are likely to resume after 29 November which will trigger renewed LRA Militias attacks against villages. The LRA leadership considers the FARDC deployment as a provocation and has resorted to attack civilians as a result. Main potential threats: Splinter factions of Armed Groups – FARDC – UPDF – Demobilized groups - escaped prisoners – ethnic tensions.

• GRAND NORD is worsening. A large number of cases of lootings, extortions, and ambushes attributed to the deserting FARDC and the Mayi-Mayi continue to be reported on the Kanyabayonga /Butembo axis. In Beni where the FARDC are being reorganized. About 4000 combatants are expected to arrive in that area which is likely to generate important protection issues for civilians. In addition, the concentration of ADF/NALU elements in Kisima (25 km of Beni) could be an aggravating factor.

• NORTH KIVU: CNDP’s strategic withdrawal into the Petit Nord and subsequent regained control of axe Kiwanja –Ishasa will allow the politico-military movement to consolidate its military and administrative domination in that area. Likely Nkunda’s next target step will be Masisi territory and possibly Kalehe (Minova )Nof South Kivu.

� CNDP continues to recruit, especially in the Kiwanja and the Kiringi area as well training of their cadres Main potential threats: Nkunda loyalists – Mayi-Mayi – PARECO – FDLR – FARDC - Ethnic violence – Anti-MONUC sentiments and hysterical mobs– ADF/NALU - GR.

• SOUTH KIVU: The overall situation though potentially volatile is likely to deteriorate in the near future notably in the Kalehe territory and in the Hauts Plateaux (increased activities of Banyamulenge insurgents are reportedly concentrated in a location situated 3 km of Minembwe. Meanwhile, Maj Mazuri (a Munyamulenge, ex-111 FARDC Brigade demobilized officer and a close ally of Nkunda) who was in Burundi, infiltrated the Hauts Plateaux, along with 12 elements, and is now recruiting. Under these conditions, it cannot be excluded that the FRF or a faction thereof (Banyamulenge insurgents with direct links to CNDP) launch coordinated operations to destabilize South Kivu). Meanwhile Mayi-Mayi groups are reorganizing themselves in order to face further attacks of the “enemies”.

Worse Case Scenario

Large scale fighting breaks out throughout the province of North Kivu with significant human rights abuses from all sides and major inter-ethnic clashes forcing humanitarian actors to work in a very hostile and difficult environment.

In South Kivu, should the FARDC/MONUC actively pursue the FDLR, clashes are likely to intensify as there are FDLR strongholds in the province. The potential for subsequent localized armed conflict remains high and a further deterioration in North Kivu could fuel the conflict in South Kivu. As the general situation deteriorates, security declines with increased displacement and ethnic clashes – both of which remain a significant concern.

Significant displacement occurs within North Kivu and South Kivu (800,000 each territory) and spreads beyond the province, as well as to neighbouring Rwanda (refugees of Tutsi ethnic origin), Uganda (refugees of non-Tutsi origin) and Burundi.

Conflict could also erupt within Goma, with significant repercussions. Displacement spreads further to the neighbouring Ituri District (240,000) which, coupled with its own tensions in the Lake Albert border region with Uganda (due to clashes between the two armies over resource-rich islands), also puts this area in particular risk.

A Congolese alliance with the FDLR could draw Rwanda back into eastern Congo, and a full-scale war could again engulf the Great Lakes region.

121

Conflict patterns: As highlighted in the operational plan for North Kivu Province – the political situation is very fluid with recurrent breaches of peace (mainly resulting from the non-implementation of peace agreements) and subsequent short-term ceasefires. Although the worse case scenario is considered the most likely one -and is the basis of this operational plan- there is still a possibility of a de-escalation of violence, with the current security situation de-evolving into another temporary stalemate. However, this is considered as a less likely scenario. The main patterns of the less likely scenario are (1) continuous but limited criminality and violence throughout the Kivus; (2) lack of disarmament and repatriation of FDLR, resulting in (3) recurrent sporadic clashes among CNDP, Mai-Mai, FDLR and other actors, leading to recurrent and temporary displacement of civilians. Current response

Initial response in the North Kivu area as follow: camps in urban areas are receiving three month full ration. In the rural areas, three different scenarios according to location have been programmed: one time distribution (Rutshuru east); two month distribution (Kitchanga area); three month distribution (Rutshuru west/Nyanzale). All initial assistance will then be followed by already planned assessment. A potential increase in targeted assistance through FFW and seeds protection activities is expected. TOTAL FOOD: Projected and actual operational figures:

South Kivu 2,700 2,940 2,380 2,140

Orientale 4,828 4,828 4,828 4,086

TOTAL FOOD 13,838 16,198 15,398 14,336

� It is likely that the security situation remains the major variable to the effective delivery of relief in the short and

medium term, therefore different operational options for humanitarian access are being considered. � Stragegy for the worst case scenario would be that of prepositioning food commodities in strategic locations

outside DRC and as close as possible to the expected affected areas. Those locations are Kampala- Kigoma – Kigali /Isaka and Gisenyi.

Worse case scenario - Response to population in need and resources required:

Displacement - Main planning assumptions are the following: • The conflict is likely to unfold in historical areas of confrontation – with hotspots mainly concentrated around

traditional mining areas; • IDPs are likely to move following habitual routes mainly according to (1) their ethnicity; (2) camps locations; and (3)

road conditions. • Historically the nature of displacement in eastern DRC is temporary with beneficiaries hosted by families likely to be

displaced for a shorter term (3 to 6 months); and IDPs located in camps likely to be assisted for longer term (6 months to 1 year).

• Hosting families usually receive a caseload estimated at 40% of the total IDPs. • Although the number of returnees in the worse case scenario equals zero in each location, a 5% increase of

temporary returnees should be considered if the pattern of the worse case scenario allows for multiple ceasefires following the resumption of war.

Expected Population Movements: • Orientale: Moving at the border with North Kivu and toward the Eastern part of the province with some of the

population ready to cross to Uganda. • North Kivu: Toward Province Orientale; upward North (toward Bunia) as well as toward South Kivu; • South Kivu: Toward Maniema and Southern part of South Kivu, some people expected to cross to Rwanda. • Maniema: Expected to receive IDPs from South Kivu. Estimated outflow – regional implications: To: Uganda: 100,000 to 150,000; Burundi: 75,000; Rwanda: 45,000 Main cities - Planning assumptions based on historical trends: Urban population is more likely to move toward urban areas than rural areas. • Goma: if Goma is attacked before Bukavu, population movements will be expected toward Bukavu either by road or

by boat. If the road is open, a minority of people could continue and try to enter Rwanda. Population movements are also expected toward Sake and Minova. Gama’s Tutsi minority is likely to go to Gisenyi by road.

122

• Bukavu: given the strong anti-Rwanda attitude, the population is expected to remain in the city with only few displaced crossing to Rwanda. Population is expected to group in public buildings (caseload: 50,000 max)

• Bunia: population expected to divide itself according to ethnic polarization (there is not a defined minority creating a sort of balance of power) and expected to group in public places or in camps within their own town (caseload: 150,000 max).

Findings: The total IDPs caseload for eastern DRC is 1, 910,000 people for the worse case scenario. Given both security and logistic constraints, a realistic operational assumption is that -out of the total caseload- WFP will be able to reach 1,415,000 IDPs for a total of 23,560 Mt/month.

Risk analysis of main supply routes

There are currently two main historical supply routes for eastern DRC: 1. The northern corridor with commodities dispatched Ex-Mombasa through Kampala and on to Goma or Bunia or Beni; 2. The second corridor is: Ex- Dar-es-Salaam onwards � To Kigoma and then up to Uvira then Bukavu then Goma; Two main operational options for humanitarian access inside DRC have been considered: Worst Case (increasing likelihood over time)

� Option 1: Sub-regional war in which neighboring countries are involved. Main supply roads are likely to be destabilized.

� Use of current logistic set-up not affected by conflict; � Establish additional forward bases (transshipment points). � Increase use of air assets for life saving humanitarian operation.

Most likely � Option 2: Limited to DRC only -worsening of the security situation with a concurrent temporary reduction in

road access. While these two options are listed as separate they are linked each other and it is important to consider them and their relative likelihood. While it is considered at the moment that the second option is still the more likely, the risk of a worst case scenario is increasing over time. This operational plan will consider the worst case scenario. Less likely/best case scenario: Although tension is likely to remain high, humanitarian corridors -inside DRC- are likely to progressively open if the security situation improves. WFP is prepared to respond progressively using secure windows for distributions based on accessibility to the beneficiaries.

Logistics: Main Priorities: � Pre-positioning up to 10000 MT in strategic locations that are outside DRC. � Coordinate road rehabilitation projects along main axis inside DRC. � Increase of storage capacity in main hubs and field locations.

Program: Main Priorities:

� Diversification of program activities: moving beyond general distribution activities and invest more in multifaceted programs.

� Testing new tools (e.g. cash and food programs) in the areas in which food availability is not the main problem.

Additional/Alternative supply routes likely to be opened in order to increase through-put capacity:

� Kigoma/Mpulungu – Bujumbura (by barge) – Uvira, Bukavu, Goma (by road) Additional port capacity and barge operators in Bujumbura available to be used in case of congestion in Uvira Current corridor Mpulungu/Kigoma – Uvira (by road) – Bukavu (by barge) - Goma � Dar es Salam - Isaka - Kigali – Goma (by road) – newly opened on Nov 7

th.

This is an additional corridor to Goma. It is important since maize in grain can be milled either in Isaka or in Kigali. �� Dar es Salam – Isaka – Bukavu (by road) to be activated in case of increased needs.

� Mombasa – Kampala /Tororo – Beni already active – [Butembo alternative] Maize grains to be milled in Kampala.

124

ENTRY POINTS: the increased requirements can be covered by using the above mentioned traditional corridor and by compliment them with the following options:

� From Beira – Lusaka – Mpulungu � From Durban -- Lusaka- Mpulungu

Main Assumptions: Supply roads via Rwanda and Burundi that are being opened to support the increased caseload are also exposed to risk of closure if there is a sub-regional war in which these neighboring countries are involved. In this case, a regionalization of the conflict at the border with Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi is expected with main supply routes likely to be destabilized.

Therefore:

• All supply routes from Rwanda and Uganda and Burundi are at risk of closure under this scenario. Increase reliance on air operations – air drops.

Strategy is to bring the food as close as possible to the affected areas.

� Some 15-20,000 MT of food will be positioned in Kampala, Kigoma and Kigali (if it is not possible to reach Kigali, second best alternative will be Isaka.

� Depending on the evolution of the conflict, mobile storage facilities are likely to be opened to reach some of the IDP’s that are moving out of the conflict zones.

� Other beneficiaries are likely to remain trapped in the conflict areas. These beneficiaries are likely to be served mainly through air drops.

In the worst case scenario the requirement of 23,560 Mt/month can be achieve by using the following corridor

allocation: � ex Kampala: 8,400 Mt/Month � ex Dar (direct): 8,000 Mt/Month � ex Kigoma: 5,500 Mt/Month � ex Mpulungu: 1,500 Mt/Month option to be activated to cover beneficiaries in the Maniema � ex Lubumbashi 500 Mt/Month � ex Kisangani 300 Mt/Month

� Within this logistic structure is still possible to increase the corridor capacity to cover increased needs – if needed.

125

Worst case scenario requirements per corridor distributed as follows:

126

AIR OPERATIONS:

Major airport facilities inside DRC: GOMA

• Airstrip limited (short) due to last volcano eruption – • Limited to C130 and An-12.

DUNGU

There are 2 airstrips in Dungu: One airstrip has a limited capacity and it is mainly used by humanitarian air transporters that are small, not for major operations. The second airstrip has been rehabilitated by MONUC and it is suitable for C130 type of aircraft.

• Payload limitation for aircraft landing at the Dungu MONUC air strip (in compacted soil) is 11 MT. Air operators contracted by humanitarian organisations have to rely on MONUC for refuelling in Dungu and/or Bunia.

• Local storage capacities in Dungu are limited. Mobile storage required to meet humanitarian demands. BUNIA: airstrip suitable for C130. BUKAVU: airstrip 2000 Mt length, suitable for C130 and B727. KISANGANI: airstrip suitable for C130 and IL72. KINDU: KALEMIE: Majority of field strips available for caravan, helicopters and LET-410. If there is a conflict inside DRC, major airport facilities are likely to remain closed. Major airports outside DRC relevant to the operation are:

� Entebbe Airport � Depending on the security situation Kigali and Bujumbura can also be used.

127

Procurement and Pipeline:

Current situation: The Budget Revision that has been endorsed by the ED indicates an increase of 55,900 MT of food in North Kivu, South Kivu and Orientale Provinces. Total projected shortfall for the coming 6 months (Nov 08-April 09) is 32,600 MT. Total projected shortfall for the coming 12 months (Nov 08-Oct 09) is 90,700 MT. Procurement Options – Major Constraints:

Locally procured food within DRC normally comes from the North Kivu area. Therefore, in the worst case scenario this option cannot be pursued. It is likely that raw materials will remain blocked in villages given the highly insecurity on roads. Especially the area Goma/Bunia will be cut off – since all contracts likely to be defaulted or cancelled. It is likely that -even if there are multiple ceasefires- contractors will not be able to move locally procured food in the worse case scenario.

� Actions: Conduct more in-depth pipeline analysis taking into account, CO level pipeline, operational constraints/likely caseloads to be reached, forecasted contributions of major donors.

128

Milling Capacity: Milling capacity for additional needs is a major constrain. The table below shows actual milling capacity in the region.

Goma 1,000 x 3 Kenya Milling:

� Kenya has approximately 25 mills across the country 18 of which are large scale (150 Mt plus per day) however the majority of these mills are wither in poor operating order; already full operational to capacity or have below acceptable HACCP standards for hygiene.

� Mills are located across the country – Mombasa, Nairobi, Eldoret, Kitale & Kisumu - being the major sites, therefore there are options no matter which entry point is used i.e. there is talk of bring from Tanzania into Kenya via overland and obviously through the port.

� The latest evaluation of mills was carried out in Sept/Oct 2008 based on the visits carried out - summarized observations as follows:

� Unga (Nairobi & Eldoret) are cleared, and two other millers had minor issues - TSS Millers (Mombasa) and Maize Milling (Eldoret), but remain options.

� Each of these mills is capable of producing over 150 Mt per 24hrs (900 per 6 day week) = 4 mills producing in total 3,600 Mt per week.

Actions: � Investigate possibility and cost of additional capacity in Kampala. Having a milling centre in Kampala is

logistically efficient – however the costs can be high. � Inquire how much is the excess capacity of Kenyan mills. � Assess the possibility of increasing the milling capacity in Goma

Internal Transport:

Commercial transport can be used inside DRC, but with MONUC escorts. Main constraints are:

1) The insufficient provision of MONUC escorts and 2) The extended delivery period.
