PROJECT SUMMARY
1. Project Overview
1.1. The Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea (CLSG) electricity networks
interconnection project involves the construction of a 1,357-km-long double circuit high
voltage (225 kV) line to connect the national networks of the four countries. The construction
of this line is part of the backbone of the Mano River Union countries and the priority projects
of the West African Power Pool (WAPP) Master Plan. The project will help establish a
dynamic electric power market in the West African sub-region and secure power supply for
participating countries which have a comparative advantage in importing power rather than
producing it at high costs using their national systems. The project, estimated at an overall
cost of UA 331.51 million, net of taxes, will be implemented over the 2014-2017 period. The
contribution of the Bank Group (ADF, FSF and NTF) amounts to UA 128.15 million (or
38.66% of the total cost).
1.2. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the residents of its impact area (24 million
inhabitants) who will have reliable electric power at competitive cost. The project will raise
the average electricity access rate in the four countries from 28% in 2012 to 33% by 2017.
The increased electricity access will generally contribute to improving the welfare of the
beneficiaries and lead to the development of social and income-generating activities. More
particularly, the project will electrify about 115 communities located along the power line and
supply electric power to 70 schools, 30 health centres, and approximately 1,500 small
handicrafts, commercial and industrial businesses, 25% of which are operated by women.
These achievements will help improve the performance of schools and health’s services, as
well as increase the incomes of the people. The project will have direct spin-offs on national
power corporations whose financial situation will improve as a result of the savings on
production costs and the increased income generated by exporting countries.
2. Needs Assessment: The socio-political crises in Liberia and Sierra Leone led to the
destruction of the public electric power infrastructure of these countries. Owing to the low
levels of investment in the sector in recent years, the power infrastructure has become
obsolete with the attendant outcome of extremely poor quality of service. The cost of electric
power production per kWh remains very high in these countries whose energy mix is
predominantly thermal (62% on average) and where the electricity access rate is among the
lowest in the world (2% in Liberia and Sierra Leone, 10% in Guinea). The unavailability of
electric power and its high cost are among the main obstacles to economic development and
poverty reduction in these countries. Of all the Mano River Union countries, Côte d’Ivoire
enjoys a more favourable situation with an electrification rate of 34% and a low-cost
production capacity. The CLSG project is a structuring project which, in its first phase, will
enable Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to import electricity from Côte d’Ivoire. The
construction of the power line will also foster development of the huge hydroelectric potential
of the sub-region (by the States and/or the private sector) by offering the possibility of electric
power trade between the countries within the WAPP larger market.
3. Bank’s Added Value: The Bank has a good knowledge of the electricity sector in
West Africa and rich experience in the definition and implementation of regional projects. On
account of its involvement right from the feasibility study stage, it was able to guide the
technical choices and take into account all aspects of the project, especially the environmental
and social aspects. Drawing on its experience, the Bank ensured all appropriate measures
would be taken for effective mitigation of the project’s environmental and social impacts.
vi
Indeed, the complexity of the project and the important basic legal documents necessary for
its success required the Bank’s involvement. In this regard, the Bank contributed to the
preparation of such important documents as the International Project Agreement, the Treaty
establishing the Project Company, and the Power Purchase Agreement. In addition, the
Bank’s intervention facilitated the mobilization of huge resources from other donors for the
financing of the project.
4. Knowledge Management: The preparation of the above documents and the
establishment of a Specific Purpose Company (SPC) for the construction and operation of the
interconnection are innovations in the appraisal and management of the regional project. The
experience gained during the project preparation and the assessment of the SPC performance
will be used for the design and improvement of the regional project management mechanism
at the Bank. The project will include a capacity building component to ensure the transfer of
knowledge to national structures so as to improve the management of future interconnections
in West Africa. This project will also provide an opportunity to improve knowledge in the
area of regional infrastructure, especially through joint project supervision missions by
donors, close monitoring by the Bank’s field offices, the consulting engineer responsible for
works control and project accounts auditors, all of whose reports will constitute sources of
information on the achievement of project objectives.

I. STRATEGIC THRUST AND OBJECTIVES
1.1 Project linkages with country strategies and objectives
1.1.1 This project is in line with the development strategies of the participating countries. Indeed, it
is consistent with: (i) the fifth pillar of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2012-2015 for Côte
d’Ivoire: Repositioning of Côte d'Ivoire on the regional scene; (ii) the second strategic pillar of
Liberia’s Agenda for Transformation 2012-2020: Improving infrastructure and basic services; (iii) the
first pillar of Sierra Leone’s Agenda for Prosperity (AfP) 2013-2017: Diversifying the economy to
promote inclusive growth; and (iv) the third and fourth pillars of Guinea’s PRSP 2013-2015, namely:
Development of infrastructure to support growth and Reinforced access to basic social services and
resilience of households.
1.1.2 At regional level, the project is consistent with the energy development strategy of the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) as reflected in the West African Power
Pool (WAPP)1. As such, the project is one of the five priority sub-programmes of the WAPP Master
Plan, and represents a segment of the backbone of Mano River Union countries.
1.1.3 As regards the country strategies at the Bank, the project is consistent with: (i) Pillar 1 of
Côte d'Ivoire’s CSP 2013-2017 on support for revitalization of production; (ii ) Pillar 1 of Liberia's
CSP 2013-2017: “Promotion of inclusive economic growth through transformative infrastructure
investments”; (iii) Pillar 2 of Sierra Leone’s CSP 2013-2017: “Support for Transformational and
Sustainable Infrastructure Development”; (iv) Pillar 2 of Guinea’s RBCSP 2012-2016 relating to the
development of basic infrastructure. The project is consistent with the Bank’s Strategic and
Operational Framework for Regional Operations (SOFRO) which states that “The Bank Group will
continue to support the WAPP during the ADF 12 period by funding several interconnection projects
in the existing reserve.” Moreover, the project will also contribute to the implementation of the
priority infrastructure identified in the Bank’s Regional Integration Strategy Paper (RISP 2011-2015)
for West Africa and in the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA).
1.2 Rationale for Bank Involvement
1.2.1 The four Mano River Union countries are fragile and have just emerged from long socio-
political crises. The damage caused by these crises make this region one of the poorest in Africa. The
Bank Group, following the visit of Senior Management to the countries in 2012, intends to offer
1 WAPP: The West African Power Pool was established in 2006. It seeks to pool energy resources of the countries of the sub-region through the integration of national power grids for the creation of a unified regional electricity market.
2
assistance to Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea so as to boost regional cooperation in the
area of infrastructure, including electricity.
1.2.2 The electricity sector in the Mano River Union countries is facing major constraints, namely:
(i) low electricity access rate (28% on average in 2010 and 2% for Liberia); (ii) a structural deficit in
electric power supply which meets no more than 30% of demand that is growing at an average annual
rate of about 7%; (iii) predominance of thermal energy production (62%) in the sub-region’s energy
mix which, on account of the soaring oil prices, contributes substantially to the rising cost of
electricity and increases greenhouse gas emissions; and (iv) limited financial and institutional
capacities of national electricity corporations.
1.2.3 These countries have significant energy resources, located mainly in Guinea and Côte
d'Ivoire, both of which are endowed with water resources. The project will help put in place structural
infrastructure in the regional electricity sector and a regional electricity market through the gradual
integration of isolated and small-scale national grids into a unified interconnection system.
Furthermore, the infrastructure will promote the development of hydroelectric sites (clean and low-
cost electric power) along the route of the power lines by facilitating transmission of the energy
produced. By easing transmission, the project will help overcome the structural weaknesses caused by
the small size of national economies and create a favourable and attractive environment for the private
sector which would be able to invest in major electricity-producing infrastructure, thereby achieving
economies of scale.
1.2.4 The Bank's involvement is justified by: (i) the project's alignment with the Bank's long-term
strategy (LTS) for the 2013-2022 period, which advocates transformation towards an inclusive and
green growth, particularly through regional integration; (ii) the consistency of the project with the
Bank's energy policy which aims to support the efforts of regional member countries to provide their
entire populations and production sectors with access to modern, reliable and low-cost energy
infrastructure and services; (iii) the fact that the CLSG project is a segment of the backbone of the
Mano River Union countries and one of WAPP's priority sub-programmes, thus acting as a driving
force in the economic development of the Mano River Union and, by extension, of ECOWAS; (iv) the
leading role of the CLSG project in the implementation of the Action Plan of the Program on
Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA); and (v) the crucial experience that this project will
provide in the area of regional project implementation.
1.3 Donor Coordination
1.3.1 Table 1.3 below and Annex 3 provide a list of technical and financial partners, and their
respective amounts of financing for the beneficiary countries of this project. These interventions are
coordinated within thematic working groups, of which the Bank is a member, formed in Cote d'Ivoire,
Liberia and in Guinea. Such groups have not yet been set up in Sierra Leone. However, this project
was jointly prepared and appraised by the various donors involved, under WAPP coordination. In
addition, consultations were held to prepare the various legal documents.

solution adopted consists in constructing a line equipped with double circuit towers for the installation
of two power transmission circuits. However, in the first phase, a single circuit will be installed to
allow transit of 83 to 145 MW of power for the pool by the end of the project. The installation of the
second circuit provided for in a second phase will allow the network to operate at full capacity of 290
MW, which will be achieved after the commissioning of the new plants (including Yiben, Bikongor in
Sierra Leone, Kassa B in Guinea and Mano in Liberia). This phased installation of the transmission
network is a common practice in the electrical industry. It offers better supply security and optimizes
investment costs. The alternatives explored include: continuation of the development of national grids
without considering energy pooling possibilities and the immediate construction of a double circuit
transmission line and the construction of two single circuit transmission lines. The reasons for their
rejection are summarized in the table below.

2.4.2 The project will be financed by: (a) the Bank Group (ADF - national allocations of the four
countries, resources earmarked for regional operations, the FSF and NTF under the conditions
specified in the project information sheet on page iv that were negotiated and accepted by the
governments of the four countries [the exchange rates used are those on page i]; (b) the World Bank
and KfW in Liberia; (c) the EIB and the EU/Africa Trust Fund in Sierra Leone; and (d) the
governments of Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea as shown in Tables 2.4 and 2.5 below.
2.4.3 The Bank is engaged in parallel co-financing with the World Bank, the EIB and KfW, and
joint financing with the EU/Africa Trust Fund, all of which approved the project in 2012. The EIB
loans will be enhanced by additional funding from the EU/Africa Trust Fund to make them
concessional and, in particular, to settle the interests during the grace period of the repayment of the
principal.
2.4.4 Given that the four countries are in principle eligible for Bank financing for the project up to
more than 90%, their counterpart funding for Bank-financed components was limited to payment of
compensations to project affected persons (PAPs) (see Technical Annex B.2 Table 2 for details) and
bank interests incurred during the power line construction.

2.5 Project Area and Beneficiaries
2.5.1 The interconnection line runs from Man in Côte d’Ivoire through Liberia and Sierra Leone to
Linsan and Nzérékoré in Guinea. However, considering its regional character, the extended impact
area covers large part of the ECOWAS region that extends from Guinea to Nigeria. The incidence of
poverty is fairly high in the project area (PA), with a prevalence rate of 23.8% in Côte d’Ivoire, 35.2%
in Liberia, and unknown for Guinea and Sierra Leone.
2.5.2 The project will benefit the populations, especially those living in the direct project impact
area and the various sectors of the economy of the four countries. These populations are estimated at
24 million and comprise mostly women (51%) and youths under 30 years of age (70%). These people
are severely affected by unemployment and under-employment. Thus, the project will have a
significant positive impact on the activities of the PA inhabitants in general, and on those of women
and young people in particular, in terms of new employment opportunities, increased business
activities, improved access to socio-economic infrastructure, reduced load-shedding times and the
lower electricity rates that it will engender. The most significant positive impacts expected are: (i)
7
increased productivity of socioeconomic development sectors, including school performance; (ii)
increased value added of national economies; (iii) increased incomes for young people and women
thanks to training and the creation of job opportunities; and (iv) sharp decline in poverty levels among
the populations.
2.6 Participatory approach for project identification, design and implementation, including
active participation of the private sector and civil society
2.6.1 The stakeholders held more than 30 meetings, including Ministerial meetings, during the
project appraisal and feasibility studies, and in the course of the environmental and social impact
assessment (ESIA). Consultations were also organized in Abidjan, Monrovia, Freetown, Conakry and
in the areas crossed by the power line, in an effort to address the needs and concerns of the project
beneficiaries. The meetings were held under the auspices of WAPP, the services of the Ministries and
agencies involved in the energy sector in the four countries, the local population, civil society, donors
and development partners involved in the sector and the Secretariat of the Mano River Union. All
these meetings made it possible to: (i) collect information and available data required to analyse the
situation in the sector; (ii) establish the project institutional framework and prepare the draft legal
documents; (iii) strengthen project ownership by the countries and donor coordination; (iii) define
project components on the basis of the needs, strategies and priorities expressed by key stakeholders,
including the local population; and (iv) share proposed solutions with the populations to address the
needs or avert the adverse impacts identified. During the project implementation phase, this
collaboration will continue and include the implementation of the Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP), the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), and the infrastructure component
prior to the establishment of the SPC.
2.7 Bank Group Experience and Lessons Reflected in Project Design
2.7.1 The project drew on the Bank's rich experience in the financing of multinational
infrastructure projects, including the Ghana, Togo and Benin interconnection project in West Africa,
the Senegal River Development Organization (OMVS) project and the NELSAP interconnection
project. The project design incorporated the lessons learned from these projects and detailed in
Technical Annex B1, the recommendations of the analysis of regional project completion reports
carried out by the Bank's Operations Evaluation Department (OPEV), and governance-related
recommendations expressed in the Outliers and Exceptions Report.
2.7.2 The main problems mainly concern: (i) the plethora of project stakeholders who usually have
different technical and operational capacities; (ii) lack of harmonization and coordination of project
activities in the various countries; (iii) inadequacies of the countries and national electricity
corporations in procurement, mobilization of financial compensation and performance monitoring;
(iv) inadequacy of the resources proposed in the project design and supervision, and significant delays
in the project completion; (v) delays in fulfilling the disbursement conditions due to long delays in the
preparation and signing of project agreements; (vi) delays in mobilizing government counterpart funds
which in turn delay the compensation of project-affected persons (PAPs)
2.7.3 To address these shortcomings, this project envisages: the establishment of an SPC to
coordinate project activities in the four countries; the development of a series of agreements, including
an international project agreement, an electric power purchase agreement and a transmission service
agreement; support for national public services and WAPP through the project's capacity building sub-
component; the inclusion of the detailed project design in the bidding documents to limit
contingencies during project implementation; budgeting of the project counterpart funds by the
countries for 2014; and donor and WAPP assistance in preparing the project and all documents
required for its smooth implementation.

2.8 Key Performance Indicators
2.8.1 The major expected outcomes and means of verification are detailed in the project matrix.
The impact measurement indicators are: (i) electricity access rate; and (ii) the number of direct and
indirect jobs created. The baseline for these indicators as defined in the logical framework will be
verified and an evaluation conducted at mid-term and at the end of the project by the relevant national
electricity corporations, namely CI-ÉNERGIES, LEC, NPA, EDG, and by the SPC.
2.8.2 Project implementation performance indicators will also be monitored. They were selected on
the basis of the Bank's institutional performance indicators. These mainly include: (i) the timeframe
for implementation and fulfilment of the conditions precedent to first the disbursement; (ii) the
procurement timeframes; and (iii) changes in the disbursement rate depending on expenditure
schedules. These indicators will be monitored during supervision missions and in the day-to-day
project management.
III. PROJECT FEASIBILITY
3.1 Economic and Financial Performance
The following are the key financial and economic performance indicators of the project:
Table 3.1
Key financial and economic performance indicators of the project
Baseline scenario FIRR: 12.0% NPV: UA 55.47 million
ERR: 26.5% Eco NPV: UA 697.51 million
NB: Detailed assumptions and calculations are presented in Technical Annex B.7
3.1.1 Financial Performance
3.1.1.1 The financial internal rate of return (FIRR) and the net present value (NPV) were calculated
on the basis of the cost-benefit method for the implementation and commissioning of the project. The
financial benefits taken into account consist of revenue from the transit of energy through the line and
the share, attributable to the line, of profits accruing from the sale of imported energy by the
participating countries. These are project costs, excluding the provision for price escalation, and the
costs of management, operation and maintenance of the structures. The analysis covers a period of 30
years, comprising 4 years of project implementation and 26 years of operation of project structures,
covering the medium-term repayment of the SPC’s financial commitments (see Technical Annex
B.7.1).
3.1.1.2 The tariffs for energy transit through the line will be set at levels that cover the operating
expenses of the SPC and ensures its capacity to repay debts with an average coverage ratio of 1.5 per
annum, while remaining accessible to the importer who will always have an interest in using the line.
Furthermore, the present average cost of energy production in importing countries (Liberia, Sierra
Leone and Guinea) during the first year of operation of the power line will still be higher than the cost
of imported energy from Côte d’Ivoire (purchase cost and transit fees), which shows the advantage of
constructing the power line.
3.1.2 Economic and Financial Performance
3.1.2.1 The economic costs used to calculate the economic rate of return (ERR) and the economic
net present value (ENPV) are project costs net of taxes and net of provision for price escalation,
adjusted for appropriate conversion factors for equipment, works, services and labour. Maintenance
costs and other operating expenses are subject to the same process. The economic benefits derived
from the project comprise, in addition to the rights to use the line, savings realized on the cost of
production by the energy-importing countries, compared to a situation without project where they
9
would generate their own electricity at a higher cost. The project will reduce CO₂ emission by 5.6
million tons, compared to a situation without project. The value of this carbon reduction by
hydroelectric power-importing countries would further enhance the project's economic performance
(see Technical Annex Table B.7.2).
3.2 Environmental and Social Impacts
Environment
3.2.1 The project is classified in Category 1 based on the scope of works and especially the adverse
environmental and social impacts identified. The detailed Environmental and Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA), the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and the Resettlement
Action Plan (RAP) were completed in 2011 and updated in 2013. The respective summaries of the
ESIA and RAP were posted on the Bank's website and distributed to the Board of Directors on 3 July
2013. Considering that the project is classified in Category 1, summaries will be posted for 120 days
prior to the date of the Board meeting.
3.2.2 The main negative environmental impacts of the project were clearly identified in the ESIA.
These impacts will be mitigated by implementing the appropriate measures contained in the ESMP.
For more details, see the ESIA summary published on the Bank's website. Furthermore, the main
constraints on implementing the ESMP in the four countries have been assessed, and appropriate
measures incorporated into the project framework (see Annex B.8.1 for more details). The main
positive impact concerns the reduction of emission of greenhouse gases such as CO₂. The total cost of
ESMP implementation (excluding the RAP cost) is estimated at USD 3,263,234 comprising: (i) USD
874,561 for Côte d'Ivoire; (ii) USD 1,060,000 for Liberia; (iii) USD 892,160 for Sierra Leone; and
(iv) USD 436,513 for Guinea. A portion of these costs will be financed by ADF, particularly those
related to capacity building and monitoring of ESMP implementation and the rest will be borne by the
countries. In addition, the electrification of communities along the power line constitutes an
enhancement measure for the populations.
Climate Change
3.2.3 Climate-related risks and vulnerabilities identified in the project area are: (i) increased
frequency and intensity of floods and storms; (ii) rising sea levels, which could lead to coastal erosion;
and (iii) prolonged flooding and high exposure to corrosion, specifically for Liberia where a segment
of the power grid runs close to the coast between the Monrovia and Mano sub-stations. The
transmission line will be designed and constructed according to the best international engineering
standards to ensure physical resistance to the major climate risks identified. This will entail taking into
account such factors as: (i) the speed of high winds/wind storms; (ii) water levels; (iii) geotechnical
conditions; and (iv) corrosion safeguards. The project will contribute to the mitigation of climate
change by avoiding the emission of approximately 5.6 million tons of CO2 when the countries resort
to hydroelectric energy imports.
Gender
3.2.4 The project beneficiaries are diverse and include young people and women. The project will
have impacts on gender issues in its impact area. By allowing household access to electricity services,
improved livelihoods and better social services, the project will improve the lives of children,
adolescents, youths, men and women, in particular. The project will help reduce electricity
expenditure for households that already have electricity access, thus enabling them to save and
reallocate the saved resources to other priority needs such as food, health and education, or use them
to meet the needs of children, the elderly and people with disabilities. Social and economic
vulnerability prevails throughout the project area. In addition, the project will reduce the time spent in
search of energy sources, especially for girls and women who may use the time saved for productive,
10
educational or recreational activities. Rural electrification will help to: (i) strengthen existing activities
carried out by women, particularly in the processing and marketing of agro-pastoral products; (ii)
create new income-generating activities for women; and (iii) improve safety for women and children.
Social
3.2.5 The project will have positive and negative social impacts. The main positive impacts are
related to rural electrification of over 115 communities, 70 schools, 30 health centres, 50 carpenters’
workshop and mills, and the creation of income-generating activities in the villages concerned,
development of small and micro-enterprises, and the creation of 5,000 direct jobs and 2,000 indirect
jobs, during the implementation phase, and 450 permanent jobs at the end of the project. Finally, the
project will improve the living conditions and well-being of the populations. The negative social
impacts include the loss of land, crops and incomes related thereto, and the destruction of residential
structures and buildings; land ownership problems; conflicts related to land use; spread of
communicable diseases such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS due to the high
number of temporary jobs, risks of electrocution and falling of pylons. These negative impacts will be
mitigated by appropriate ESMP measures such as provision of personal protection gear during
construction, carrying out STI/HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns targeted at workers and communities,
educating the public about the risks of wildfire and encouraging contractors to recruit local labour.
Forced Resettlement
3.2.6 The project will cause the physical displacement and/or economic displacement of a total of
5,267 people in the four countries, comprising 112 in Guinea, 3,312 in Sierra Leone, 1,151 in Liberia,
and 692 in Côte d'Ivoire. The project will result in loss of business, the total or partial loss of crops
and farmland, loss of access to community infrastructure, and loss of residential structures.
3.2.7 Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) have been prepared for each country. These plans have
identified the project-affected persons (PAPs), the affected property and its value, as well as measures
to compensate and/or assist PAPs and restore livelihoods. Resettlement costs will be funded by the
four governments. The resettlement process is scheduled to last a year. The RAP and ESMP will be
implemented by the four governments in collaboration with the SPC. Monitoring and evaluation of
PAPs and the communities will be conducted through concrete mechanisms in the four countries,
including qualitative and quantitative indicators and with the participation of civil society.
3.2.8 The total cost of the RAPs stands at USD 15,579,647, broken down as follows: (i) 1,680 138
for Côte d'Ivoire; (ii) 9,108,286 for Liberia; (iii) 2,924,854.80 for Sierra Leone; and (iv) 1,866,368 for
Guinea. Each country must, in accordance with the RAP, provide evidence of having compensated the
PAPs prior to the start-up of works. That will be a condition precedent to the first disbursement of the
Bank’s financial assistance.
IV. IMPLEMENTATION
4.1 Implementation Arrangements
Executing Agency
4.1.1 The project implementation will be entrusted to the Special Purpose Company (SPC) and that
related activities associated with the project will be carried out by the five executing agencies, namely
WAPP and the four National Power Corporations.
4.1.2 Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have agreed, jointly and severally, to
establish, by treaty, a supranational SPC for the financing, construction, operation, development and
ownership of the electric interconnection line (CLSG). The share capital will be owned equally by the
national power corporations of the four countries. Pending the establishment of the SPC, expected by
11
end-2013, preliminary procurement and recruitment operations will be implemented by the Joint
Implementation Committee referred to as WAPP-JIC2, established in 2008 and comprising WAPP
Secretary-General and country representatives. The Treaty, By-laws and Shareholders' Agreement
have been drawn up by the four governments with the assistance of donors' lawyers. An International
Project Agreement is being finalized. Evidence of the establishment of the SPC is a condition
precedent to first disbursement of Bank financing.
4.1.3 The SPC will comprise a Project Manager, a Financial Officer, an Accounting Officer, a
Technical Coordinator, an Environmental and Social Management Coordinator, a Procurement
Expert, an Internal Auditor, a Legal Counsel and heads of the three project implementation units. It
will be assisted and controlled by three supervisory bodies, namely the Management Committee, the
Steering Committee, and the Treaty Secretariat.
4.1.4 Given that the related activity - capacity building - is one that transcends individual States, it
will be carried out by WAPP. The four countries have agreed to transfer the allocations for this
component to WAPP.
4.1.5 The related activity titled “Rural Electrification” will be performed by national entities on
behalf of each State. The four countries have agreed to delegate the overall coordination of this
component to WAPP. The project envisages supply of equipment and operating resources to national
project implementation units and the payment of monthly allowances to unit staff.
4.5.1.1 In Côte d’Ivoire, the executing agency is the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The
executing agency tasked with implementing the “Rural Electrification” component will be located
within the CI-Energy Corporation (CI-ÉNERGIES). A unit will be established under the responsibility
of the Project Coordinator, consisting of two engineers, an environmental expert, an administrative
and financial officer, an accountant, a procurement expert, an assistant and a driver.
4.5.1.2 In Liberia, the executing agency is the Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy. The executing
agency of the “Rural Electrification” component will be located within the Liberia Electricity
Corporation (LEC). A unit will be established under the responsibility of the Deputy Director-General
of Planning and will consist of two Engineers, an Environmental Expert, an Administrative and
Financial Officer, an Accounting Officer, a Procurement Expert, an Assistant and two drivers. The
project will also support the unit through technical assistance consisting of a Procurement Expert who
will, in the course of the activities, transfer skills and build capacities, and an expert who will handle
the organization of the procurement unit.
4.5.1.3 In Sierra Leone, the executing agency is the Ministry of Energy. The executing agency will
be located within the National Power Authority (NPA). The current project implementation unit will
be strengthened by an Engineer, an Environmental Expert, an Accounting Officer, an Assistant and
two drivers. Due to the limited capacity of NPA’s procurement unit, the project will also support the
unit by way of technical assistance consisting of a Procurement Expert who will, as the activities
unfold, transfer skills and build capacities.
4.5.1.4 In Guinea, the executing agency is the Ministry of State for Energy. It was decided that the
Guinea Electricity Corporation (Electricité de Guinée - EDG) should be the executing agency acting
as the Coordination Unit for ADB projects within the EDG Directorate of Studies and Planning.
Under the responsibility of the Project Coordinator, the unit will be strengthened by two Engineers, an
Accounting Officer, a Procurement Expert and two drivers.
4.1.6 Implementation of the CLSG project will cover the 2014-2017 period, and the power line is
expected to begin operating in 2017.

Procurement Arrangements
4.1.7 The procurement of goods, works and services financed by the ADF and the EU/Africa Trust
Fund under this project, will be in accordance with the Bank’s Rules and Procedures for the
Procurement of Goods and Services or, as appropriate, the Rules and Procedures for the Use of
Consultants (May 2008 Edition, revised in 2012), using appropriate standard bidding documents of
the Bank.
4.1.8 Works on the construction of power lines and Regional Control Centres (SCADA) and goods
(IT equipment and vehicles) for the SPC will be procured by the SPC and WAPP. The latter will act on
behalf of the SPC or on behalf of the project's Steering Committee pending the effective setting up of the
SPC.
4.1.9 Procurement relating to capacity building for WAPP and the countries, as well as the purchase
of goods (IT equipment and vehicles) for capacity building purposes will be undertaken by WAPP.
4.1.10 Procurement activities in respect of the rural electrification component of the project will be
undertaken by CI-Energy Corporation (CI-ÉNERGIES) in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia Electricity Corporation
(LEC) in Liberia, the National Power Authority (NPA) in Sierra Leone and the Guinea Electricity
Corporation (Électricité de Guinée - EDG) for Guinea.
4.1.11 Apart from funding from ADF resources, the Republic of Sierra Leone has access to financing
from the resources of the Nigeria Trust Fund (NTF) for high voltage infrastructure and the EU-Africa
Infrastructure Trust Fund for the rural electrification component. In compliance with the Bank's
procurement rules and procedures, the proceeds of any loan, investment or other financing undertaken as
part of the NTF operations will be used for procurement of goods and works, including the related
services, provided by bidders from eligible member countries. As such, and considering that this project
is funded almost entirely from ADF resources for which the rule of eligibility and origin has been
cancelled, a waiver for non-application of the Bank’s criteria of eligibility and origin is requested
from the Board of Directors, in accordance with Article 4.1 of the Agreement establishing the NTF. Regarding operations of the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust under which the rural electrification
component is being financed, pursuant to Board of Directors Resolution No. B/BD/2010/15 of
20/07/2010, the Bank agreed to extend procurement eligibility for operations financed from the
resources of the EU-Africa Trust Fund to: (i) members of the European Union that are not members of
the Bank; and (ii) member States of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Community (ACP) which are
not members of the Bank. Accordingly, under this extension and considering that the rule of origin
was waived with regard to ADF funding, the same treatment will be applied to procurement financed
by NTF and the EU-Africa Fund.
4.1.12 Following assessment of the procurement systems of the four countries, the use of national
procedures is recommended for national competitive bidding initiated by the project implementation
unit for the case of Côte d'Ivoire, subject to addressing the disparities that were identified and
summarized in the overall Action Plan presented in Annex B5. However, given that the use of national
procedures is not recommended for Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the ADF rules and procedures
will be used in the national competitive bidding process initiated by the respective project
implementation units of these countries.
Disbursement
4.1.13 With regard to the SPC, which will be known as the CLSG Regional Electricity Transmission
Company (TRANSCO), the four methods of disbursement recommended in the Bank's Disbursement
Handbook may be used for withdrawals. For the funding of each CSLG Member State, this company
will open, where applicable, a special account with the Central Bank and an advance account with a
commercial bank. These accounts, which will revert to the Company, must be managed separately,
13
according to the Bank's disbursement rules and procedures and, where appropriate, in collaboration
with the structures in charge of the debt of the borrower/grantee Member States and in accordance
with the disbursement rules and procedures.
4.1.14 Concerning the other executing agencies, the direct payment and special account methods
will be used for withdrawals. For the funding of CSLG Member States, the executing agencies will
also open, where applicable, a special account with the Central Bank and an imprest account with a
commercial bank. These accounts, which will revert to the executing agencies, will be managed
separately, according to the Bank's disbursement rules and procedures and, where appropriate, in
collaboration with the structures in charge of the debt of borrower/grantee Member States.
Financial Management
4.1.15 The financial management of CLSG Interconnection Project will be conducted within the six
executing agencies: (i) the CLSG Regional Electricity Transmission Company, as concerns the
Transmission Infrastructure; (ii) the four National Power Corporations (NPCs) of the CSLG Member
States, as concerns the Rural Electrification and Studies component; and (iii) WAPP, as concerns the
management of capacity building activities.
4.1.16 The funding allocated by the Bank to this project will be on-lent to each executing agency by
the beneficiary governments under the same terms and conditions as specified in the project

4.1.17 Each executing agency will adopt an automated and integrated information system. The
system should be able to ensure accruals-based private accounting, distinct from the account of the
executing agency and enabling the recording of project operations by source of funding, by
component, and by expenditure category.
4.1.18 For the CLSG Regional Electricity Transmission Company, the project provides for an Audit
Committee for the Management Committee and an Internal Auditor. They will supervise the project’s
internal controls.
4.1.19 Each executing agency will also have an administrative, financial and accounting procedures
manual describing the main features of the financial management system, and applicable financial
policies and procedures. The terms of reference for preparing the procedures manual will be subject to
Bank approval.
External Audit
4.1.20 Project accounts will be audited separately by executing agency. The audit will cover all the
activities assigned to the executing agency concerned.
14
4.1.21 The CLSG Regional Electricity Transmission Company will be audited by a world-class
accounting audit firm on the basis of standard terms of reference for the audit of Bank-financed
projects and following an international competitive bidding consistent with international best
practices. The other executing agencies will be audited by firms selected through a request for
expression of interest from external and independent audit firms. The terms of reference for the audit
will be prepared based on the template provided by the Bank and subject to the latter’s no-objection.
4.1.22 The audit reports of each executing agency will be submitted to the Bank within six months
following the end of each fiscal year. Four audits are envisaged for this project, covering the years
2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
4.2. Monitoring
4.2.1 Monitoring will be conducted by the executing agencies using project resources. The
Consulting Engineer in charge of works supervision and control will participate in establishing and
strengthening monitoring capacities within the SPC in charge of the physical implementation of the
project. WAPP will be responsible for monitoring the electrification component in the four countries.
A mechanism will also be set up to monitor and evaluate the socio-economic impact of the project in
each country.
4.2.2 The Bank will assist these authorities by providing institutional support to strengthen their
capacities so as to improve the management and monitoring of environmental and social aspects.
4.2.3 The project monitoring will comprise internal and external aspects, launching missions, Bank
supervision missions with resources from the Bank’s Offices in the CLSG countries and the
Headquarters, a mid-term review (scheduled to be conducted within 24 months following project start-
up) and a final evaluation, including the completion report of the executing agencies. Monthly and
quarterly works execution reports will be prepared by the Consulting Engineer. The executing
agencies will submit a project implementation report to the Bank on a quarterly basis. A completion
report will be submitted to the Bank by each executing agency within six months following project
completion.
4.2.4 Monitoring of the project impacts will help identify and analyse the indicators impact
attributable to the project and contributing to the achievement of expected outcomes. The donors
financing the project have agreed to conduct joint supervision and mid-term review missions.

4.3. Governance
4.3.1 It is generally acknowledged that poor governance practices, compounded by fraud and
corruption, are the main causes of the current crisis in the electricity sub-sector in Côte d'Ivoire,
Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. However, in these four countries, Bank-financed projects to
improve governance and strengthen capacities are currently being implemented.
15
4.3.2 In addition to these challenges to good governance in the energy sector, the project also
carries fiduciary risks such as timeliness and transparency in procurement, transparency in financial
management, and possible political interference by the four governments. The institutional framework
for effective implementation of the CLSG Interconnection Project provides for supervisory bodies,
each with a specific role in the financial management of the project, and for the use of the Bank's rules
and procedures. The supervisory bodies are three in number: (i) The Management Committee, which
is the highest body of the Treaty. It considers the Steering Committee's progress report on the
implementation of the Shareholders’ Agreement and approves the budget of the Steering Committee
and the Treaty Secretariat. Its budget is borne proportionally by Member States; (ii) the
implementation Committee, which is the body charged with overseeing the project development and
implementation. It submits to the Management Committee a report on the activities of the Steering
Committee and the Treaty Secretariat, and the estimated operating budget for the following 24
months; (iii) The Treaty Secretariat, which assists the Management Committee and the Steering
Committee in their duties. During the project preparation phase, this role will be performed by WAPP.
4.3.3 The project provides for an audit committee for the Management Committee, an internal
auditor, a legal counsel, technical assistance in procurement, and prior review and approval by the
Bank of all procurement activities. In addition, the project provides for independent external auditors
to carry out financial and technical audits of the project. The legal documents prepared on the project,
such as the International Project Agreement, took into consideration the lessons learned from similar
projects and the provisions on fraud and corruption. The project design also includes the application of
procedures manuals and specific measures for mitigating governance risk so as to ensure that
resources are used efficiently and for their intended purpose.
4.4 Sustainability
4.4.1 The project is technically, economically and financially sustainable.
4.4.2 Country commitment, ownership and policies: The Energy Ministers of Energy of Côte
d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea issued a release relating to the adoption of the Treaty
establishing the SPC on 5 March 2012. The Treaty was signed by the Heads of State of the four
countries, is currently being ratified by the respective parliaments and is expected to be completed by
end-2013.
4.4.3 Pooling of resources: The project will help to remedy the small size of national markets, and
thereby create a favourable and attractive environment for the private sector to construct major
electricity infrastructures that may be pooled for the benefit of the countries of the Mano River Union
and the sub-region.
4.4.4 Strengthening of national networks: In Sierra Leone and Liberia, the transmission
infrastructure to be constructed under this project will form the backbone of the national transmission
system.
4.4.5 Capacity to construct, operate and maintain the interconnection: The main infrastructure of
the project, particularly the 225-kV power line and associated stations, will be constructed under the
responsibility of the SPC by competent contractors recruited following an international invitation for
bids. The SPC will be supported by a consulting firm in the monitoring and control of the works to
ensure compliance with the specifications and quality of the works to be built. To ensure proper
operation and maintenance of the power line, the CVs of the SCP staff will be subject to the Bank’s
no-objection opinion. The “strengthening of country capacities” component will enable the Energy
Ministries and National Power Corporations (NPCs) to monitor the project implementation. As
regards the infrastructure proposed for the “rural electrification” component, it will be built by
qualified contractors selected on the basis of an international competitive bidding supervised by the
16
relevant national structures with the skills and experience required for the operation and maintenance
of this type of facilities.
4.4.6 Financial Balance: The Protocol Agreements to be signed between the governments of the
four countries involved in the project will make it possible to set the price of electricity transit at a
minimum level that guarantees the financial stability of the SPC and enables it to meet its financial
commitments (loan repayment) as well as proper operation, maintenance and renewal of
infrastructure. These agreements must be signed no later than December 2013.
4.4.7 Sector Regulation: The ECOWAS Energy Protocol has established a regulatory framework
for the development of the sector, one of whose objectives is to set up the deregulated and competitive
energy market. The ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) is currently
harmonizing the policies and commercial framework of the sector. These developments will help
regulate the electricity market, including this project.
4.5 Risk Management
4.5.1 The main risks that could hamper implementation of the project and the expected outcomes
are: (i) delays by the governments in ratifying the treaty establishing the SPC; (ii) long timeframes and
delays in the procurement process; (iii) difficulties and/or delays in mobilizing national counterpart
funding which could delay payment of compensation for release of the right-of-way; (iv) poor
performance of the SPC; (v) inadequate national networks from sub-stations for effective consumption
of the traded energy; (vi) inadequate availability of power in Côte d’Ivoire for the country to meet its
own consumption needs and export some to other countries in the short term; (vii) inability of national
electricity corporations to settle their SPC bills; (viii) the plethora of bodies involved in the project
management, particularly the four governments, the four Energy Ministries, and the four National
Power Corporations; (ix) the political risk of the project; (x) the commercial risk related to non-
recovery of transmission bills by the SPC; and (xi) the risk associated with the fragile state of the four
countries.
4.5.2 The first risk is mitigated by the fact that WAPP and the project’s Joint Implementation
Committee are striving to adhere to the project preparation and implementation schedule. The second
risk is mitigated by the fact that the executing agency will be supported by a procurement expert, and
WAPP has requested the Bank to initiate advance procurement action. As for the third risk, it is
mitigated by the relatively small size of the countries’ counterpart funding, which accounts for less
than 10% of the project cost. Furthermore, the Finance Ministries of the four countries were informed
well in advance to take appropriate steps for the budgeting, and they have confirmed their readiness to
secure the resources required to compensate the project-affected persons (PAPs) prior to the start-up
of works. The capacity of national institutions in charge of the implementation of the compensation
plan will also speed up the process for compensation and release of right-of-way. Finally, the
establishment of the Grievance Committee will substantially mitigate this risk in each country. The
fourth risk is mitigated by: (a) the establishment of the Management Committee and the Steering
Committee to monitor the performance of the SPC; and (b) the recruitment of an internal auditor. The
fifth risk is mitigated by the distribution networks rehabilitation and expansion projects in the pipeline
or currently underway in the countries involved, and also by the project’s rural electrification
component. The sixth risk is mitigated by the fact that Côte d’Ivoire has initiated an ongoing program
to boost its production capacity so as to meet domestic demand as well as export to neighbouring
countries, especially CLSG countries; the program comprises the construction of the Ciprel IV, Azito
III and Soubre power plants (see Technical Annex A.1.2). To mitigate the seventh risk, a repayment
accounts will be opened into which some major and reliable customers of National Power
Corporations will pay their bills directly and from which the SPC will be paid for its services. The
eighth risk is mitigated by the fact that the SPC will have ownership of high-voltage power structures
to avoid any interference by the governments in the management of the network. The ninth risk is
mitigated by the collective interests of the various countries in pooling their resources and
17
infrastructure. The commercial risk is mitigated by the ongoing reforms and measures to improve
recovery in most CLSG countries. Finally, the risk of fragility is mitigated by the intensification of
regional dialogue. The Mano River Union Members States have taken concrete steps that could
contribute to the consolidation of peace at their borders.
4.6 Knowledge Building
4.6.1 By virtue of the special character of the project, stemming from the fact that it will be
implemented in four fragile countries, the Bank will derive practical knowledge from the assessment
of the legal and operational framework established for the project implementation. The legal
documents developed during the project preparation phase will provide the Bank with valuable
information that may be used in the design and implementation of future projects. In addition, the
knowledge learned from the project implementation will focus on best practices on the management of
power transmission projects and the conduct of monitoring and evaluation in a regional context. The
best practices will be disseminated among the stakeholders through regular meetings and briefing
notes issued by the Management Committee. The focus on building the capacities of the entities
involved in the project aims particularly to meet knowledge development needs. Indeed, providing
training and equipment to WAPP and electricity corporations will help ensure the transfer of
knowledge on project management, and especially of similar technologies that may be used for other
projects in the near future.
4.6.2 Establishing the baseline situation before the start of project activities will provide a basis for
comparison and obtaining a realistic assessment of project impacts. Comparison data will be derived
from the project outcome assessment conducted at project completion. The main knowledge and
lessons learned will be managed from a relational database at the SPC. This database will effectively
facilitate the management of accumulated knowledge on the activities, outputs, major outcomes and
lessons learned from this project. Abstracts will be posted on the Bank's website.
