PROJECT SUMMARY

Project Overview

1. The Abidjan - Lagos Corridor is a subset of the longer Dakar-Lagos Corridor, which is

part of the Trans African Highway Network within the ECOWAS region, and its development

falls under the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). The Abidjan to

Lagos section is the eastern section of the latter and on an east-west coastal axis of the region

spanning five Participating Member Countries (PMCs), namely, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo,

Benin and Nigeria. It covers a distance of 1,028km and eight (8) border crossings. The

corridor’s current alignment traverses all major economic centres of the five PMCs starting

from “Place de la Republique” in Abidjan and finishes at Mile 2 (Eric Moore), in Lagos. It is

critical for socio-economic development of West Africa as it connects the most densely

populated and economically active parts of the sub-region and interconnects with a rail network

and major ports/airports. It also connects with other corridors on a north-south axis linking

landlocked countries as Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Chad.

2. The corridor currently supports approximately 75% of the trade activities of the sub-

region and considered as the spine for multi-modal trade logistics. However, deficiencies in the

functionality of the infrastructure compounded with cumbersome border management and

customs operations weakens its impact and contribution to the economic growth of the sub-

continent as a whole. The aspirations of the PMCs is therefore to extensively transform the

corridor to an extent that drastically and sustainably enhances its performance towards social

and economic development.

3. The objective of the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Study is to undertake all the

necessary studies on the hard and soft aspects necessary for the effective implementation,

operations, and economic development of the corridor, primarily between the two nodes i.e.

Abidjan and Lagos. The new highway will be a six-lane (3-lane dual) carriageway highway

and the study to be undertaken will be based on one main principle. It shall primarily follow a

new alignment, incorporating sections of the existing alignment, where necessary, to ensure

route optimization.

4. To ensure effective operations and impact of the new highway, other study activities

and output complementary to the technical design above comprise: i) an establishment of a new

supra-national semi-autonomous corridor authority, including the corresponding institutional,

legal, operations and management framework; ii) a spatial development framework and

masterplan for the corridor; and iii) trade, transport (multi-modal), transit and border

procedures.

5. The estimated cost of the study is UA11.08million (USD15.59million) with a funding

composition of: (i) ADF, UA9.0million (81.23%), comprising a grant of UA6.0million and a

loan of UA3.0million; (ii) IPPF, UA1.92million (17.33%), and; iii) ECOWAS Commission

counterpart contribution, UA0.16million (1.44%). The ADF grant of UA6.0million includes a

contribution of UA4.0million from Regional Public Goods (RPG) window and UA2.0million

from the country’s Performance-Based Allocation (PBA) window.

Needs Assessment

6. The expected outcome of the study is a comprehensive design model to enable the

PMCs, ECOWAS, Development Financial Institutions (DFIs), investors and other stakeholders

to, in aggregate, make strategic decisions on both hard and soft infrastructure investment and

implementation. The study will be based on enhancing the value-chain of the trade activities

on the corridor through increased road transport capacity, improve trade flow, create

employment and reduce poverty levels of the populations on the corridor’s axis. This requires

v

a holistic approach towards the corridor’s development and critical to sustainable development

and parameters to meet these objectives will therefore be determined.

Bank’s Added Value

7. The footprint of the Bank’s past interventions in the region is generally of national or

regional dimensions although meeting national needs has usually taken precedence over

regional. This is mainly because of the challenges associated with integrating economies in

varying phases of development. . This study, on the other hand, takes a corridor-wide approach

as the primary objective and the added value stems from its aggregated experiences and

knowledge in the respective countries. The Bank will leverage its competency gained from

developing other regional corridors on the continent such as the North-South, Northern, and

Central transport corridors to enhance the design output. The Bank’s relevance in the sector

and region will also attract development financial institutions as well as the private sector to

collaborate on projects in the subsequent investment phase. In line with the Bank’s Ten Year

Strategy (TYS), this intervention will also address one of the main barriers for infrastructure

investment, which is facilitating preparedness and readiness of projects for investment.

Knowledge Management

8. The Bank’s intervention in the subsector and in the region has largely been at country

levels and a corridor-wide approach by this study expands and complements the Bank’s

knowledge in the region. The study will reveal investment options, private sector opportunities,

trade facilitation solutions, corridor operational modalities, and leveraging national and

institutional knowledge to design appropriate interventions in various sectors. The study will

deliver a useful spatial development map of all existing projects along the corridor ensuring

coherence of multi-sector investments. It will develop models to combine for spatial

development corridor and resilience to food insecurity, market intelligence platforms across

the region and along the corridor.

1. STRATEGIC THRUST & RATIONALE

Project linkages with countries strategies and objectives

The development strategies and objectives of the Economic Community of West

African States (ECOWAS) 2010-2015 Strategic Plan and the Vision 2020 has been articulated

in the spirit of the objectives of the respective strategies of Members States, namely, Cote

D’Ivoire: National Development (PND) 2012-2015; Ghana: Shared Growth and Development

Agenda II (GSGDA) 2014-2017; Togo: Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion

Strategy (2013 – 2017); Benin: Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy III 2011-2015, and;

Nigeria: Vision 2020. The linkages of this intervention with respective country priorities are

described below and presented in the context of the project as a whole.

Cote d’Ivoire: The PND objective is to guide the path to robust, sustained and inclusive

growth towards an emerging country by 2020. The strategy has five outcomes, of which

repositioning Cote d’Ivoire as a key regional player is identified as a key objective in addition

to meeting the social objectives. Improved connectivity with its neighbours and integrating its

economy through improved infrastructure is seen as one of the prerequisites in achieving its

regional significance.

Ghana: The GSGDA strategic direction is to lay the foundation for the structural

transformation of the economy within the decade ending 2020, through industrialization

especially manufacturing, based on modernized agriculture and sustainable exploitation of

Ghana’s natural resources. The direction is underpinned by rapid infrastructure and human

development with expenditure prioritized on policies, programmes and projects in agriculture,

infrastructure (including transport, energy, oil and gas), water and sanitation, health and

education (including ICT, science, technology and innovation).

Togo: The Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion (SCAPE,

2013-2017) aims to accelerate growth to reduce poverty and inequality and create jobs, with

multiplier effects on income levels and quality of life. In addition, it aims also to accelerate the

achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). To achieve these objectives,

economic policy focuses on consolidating and instituting the foundation for growth, identifying

the following as priorities for investment: i) reduction of regional disparities; ii) strengthening

governance; (iii) employment and inclusion; and (iv) promoting grassroots development.

Benin: The Growth Strategy for Poverty Reduction (GPRS 2011-2015) is structured

primarily to improve the living conditions of the population at the end of its implementation. It

is to achieve MDGs in the areas of water, basic sanitation, primary education and accomplish

significant progress in other MDGs. GPRS covers five priority areas, namely: i) sustainable

2

acceleration of growth and transformation of economy, ii) infrastructure development, iii)

strengthening of human capital, iv) improving the quality of good governance and v) balanced

and sustainable development at national level.

Nigeria: Nigeria has embarked on a long-term development agenda outlined in the

Vision 20:2020 in which the currently drawn Transformation Agenda (TA) is pinned. This

Vision is synonymous with an aspiration to be among the World’s top 20 economies by the

year 2020. The primary objectives are to: (i) create an enabling environment for sustainable

economic growth; (ii) diversify the Nigerian economy; (iii) create employment opportunities;

and (iv) reduce poverty.

To achieve the above objectives collectively, the ECOWAS Vision 2020 and Article 32

of the ECOWAS revised Treaty (1993), which embodies the requirements of Member States,

stipulates deepening regional integration. A subset of this strategy is to systematically

transform the road infrastructure on the corridor. This facilitated the decision taken in

Yamoussoukro (February 2013), by the leaders of the PMCs to collaborate for the construction

of a six-lane highway from Abidjan to Lagos. The Lagos-Abidjan Corridor Highway

Development Project was consequently conceived and a Treaty facilitating the design,

implementation, and operations was signed in March 2014. It is expected that the development

of the western section of the Dakar-Lagos Corridor, i.e. the Dakar to Abidjan section, which

will maximize the competitiveness of the region will be a sequel to this project.

Rationale for Bank’s involvement

This intervention was commissioned by the Bank, following the request and

commitment demonstrated by the PMCs, and the rationale for Bank’s intervention is based on

the linkages of the project objectives with the Bank’s developmental strategies. The project is

in line with two of the five pillars of the Bank’s 2013-2022 Ten Year Strategy (TYS), which is

to support regional integration and infrastructure development. This is also reflected in the West

Africa Regional Integration Strategy Paper (RISP) by two pillars: (i) linking regional markets

and; (ii) building capacity for effective implementation of the regional integration agenda. The

study will ensure seamless cross-border transport infrastructure and operations, aligned with

infrastructure-related pillars of the respective CSPs. As the major corridor in West Africa, its

development continues to be key to the regional integration agenda hence retained in the current

mid-term review report of the RISP.

The development impact of the corridor is recognised in PIDA, given its linkages with

the continental corridor network, and among the sixteen (16) priority continental infrastructure

projects identified for priority financing as pilot to accelerate the implementation of PIDA by

the NEPAD Dakar Agenda for Action (June 2014). Similarly, Development Partners, such as

the European Union (EU), acknowledge the corridor importance in the current 11th European

Development Fund (EDF) Regional Indicative Programme for West Africa.

The Bank has wealth of experience in preparing and implementing regional projects

and will leverage the knowledge in addressing one of the major challenges of infrastructure

development, that is, project development. The Bank would consequently leverage its

partnership with multiple DFIs and sovereign stakeholders in securing funding for investment,

leading the process towards achieving development objectives.

3

Donors coordination

To complement the Bank efforts, a number of Development Partners (DP) have

interventions along the corridor, all with a common goal of improving the efficiency of the

transport infrastructure system by addressing soft (social, policy, trade, etc.) as well as hard

components. DPs operating on the corridor include the World Bank, EU, AFD, Islamic

Development Bank, Millennium Challenge Account (MCA), West African Development Bank

(BOAD), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and DANIDA. Interventions by the

DPs are listed in Appendix III.

Coordination at regional level is led by the ECOWAS Commission and this is

conducted through a number of platforms. The formal platform is the Infrastructure Thematic

Group (ITG), established in 2013, whose mandate is “coordinating technical and financial

resources for infrastructure development towards realisation of ECOWAS 2020 Vision”. The

platform, which is chaired by the Commission (Commissioner for Infrastructure), operates on

the principles of engaging with DPs on a regional level through a set of rules, procedures and

a roadmap. The Commission shares the chairmanship with the Bank.

Others coordination mechanisms include: i) the PIDA platform through which the

strategy for the implementation PIDA is examined. The Bank promoted and funded an initiative

for flagship projects allowing ECOWAS and sub-regional institutions to prioritise PIDA

projects for Bank support. This intervention of the Bank constitutes a key component of the

initiative; ii) The Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Organisation (ALCO), a World Bank and UNAIDS

jointly-funded corridor agency. It operates a data-collection platform that focuses on corridor

performance indicators and the health control of communicable diseases such as

STI/HIV/AIDS and Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in corridor’s communities; iii) The AU,

through partnership with GIZ, is sponsoring other services, such as capacity building, in support

of the corridor’s operations; iv) Borderless Alliance, which operated advocacy platforms to

eliminate trade barriers in West Africa.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Development Objectives

The development objective of the project, when implemented, will generate social and

economic activities, promote cross-border trade and integrate the economies within the

ECOWAS Community. This will contribute to reducing the poverty levels of the population

that depend on the transport modes of the corridor for livelihood. An outcome of this study is

therefore to provide stakeholders with the tools and capability to make informed decisions on

investment interventions and operating the corridor to meet the above development objectives.

Project Description and Components

The tasks of the study is to define the inputs necessary for implementation and

operations of a new highway in order to meet the development objective. It comprises studies

on the hard and soft aspects of the new highway infrastructure system, including social

infrastructure. The highway will be a six-lane (3-lane dual) carriageway highway and the study

will be based on one main principle. It shall primarily follow a new alignment, incorporating

sections of the existing alignment, where necessary, for route optimization.

To ensure effective operations and impact of the new highway, other study activities

and output complementary of the technical design include: i) an establishment of a new supra-

national corridor authority, and its framework for operations; ii) a spatial development

framework and masterplan; and iii) trade, transport, transit and border procedures. The

components are described in table 2.1 below.

Technical solution retained and other alternatives explored

The principles of maintain the existing alignment as the primary alignment was

considered. The optimum solution will be evaluated by the study, though the aspirations of the

PMCs for a six-lane (3-lane dual) carriageway forms the basis for the design and will be

determined by factors such as economy, value for money, sustainability, and social and

environmental impact. The principles are considered adequate to guide the study and to enable

5

informed investment decisions to be made by PMC, ECOWAS, the Bank and other

stakeholders.

Long term financing of operational expenditure of ALCoMA will ultimately be the

responsibility of the PMCs and excluding it from this intervention was explored. However, the

Bank recognises the significance and start-up challenges in setting up a supra-national agencies

to drive corridor-wide investment and funding structures. It has therefore been considered that

there is added value in providing some start-up support to the authority. This allows the PMCs

to learn and better prepare for the long-term operations of the authority. It is expected and

understood by the Bank that the PMCs, through ECOWAS, will take full responsibility for

long-term financing of ALCoMA operations from other sources, such as the Seed Fund, when

the Bank’s support expires after the first year.

The need for new border posts was explored. At present, a region-wide development

programme exists for the implementation and operations of OSBPs in the ECOWAS region.

Therefore the design studies of new border posts has been excluded. It is intended that a

proposed new alignment will be designed such that it merges with existing border sites and will

be complemented with new trade and transport facilitation measures being developed by the

study.

Project type

The proposed study is a standalone operation and falls under the Bank’s mandate of

transport infrastructure development and regional integration. It will be financed by both grant

and loan facilities of the Bank and form the most appropriate instruments for project

development.

Project cost and financing arrangements

The estimated cost of the study, net of taxes including contingencies, is UA11.08million

Project’s Target area and Beneficiaries

The corridor is on coastal axis of the region and traverses the economic hubs and most

densely populated cities of the sub-region. The population along its axis is approximately

70million and will be the direct beneficiaries when the project is implemented. The corridor

interconnects with other transport corridors on a north-south axis linking landlocked countries

such as Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, and to the immediate west with Liberia and Sierra

Leone. Interconnectivity with rail network and major ports (e.g. Abidjan, Tema, Lomé,

Cotonou, Tin Can), airports, industrial and agricultural centres, markets and support services

expands the trade zone influenced by the corridor. The above target areas and beneficiaries of

the project will be identified by the study.

Participatory process for project design and implementation

The study activities will involve consultations with broad spectrum of stakeholders

within the project area of influence, including but not limited to DPs, local communities (urban

& rural), agriculture communities and industries, markets traders, enterprises, border and

customs agencies, transport and logistics operators, infrastructure owners (ports, rail), corridor-

based organisations and Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), Regional entities such as

WAEMU, and counterpart Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Consultation on the

environmental impact of the surrounding coastal landscape and livelihood will be carried out.

Bank Group experience, lessons reflected in project design

The Bank’s total commitments in the PMCs to date is UA 8,441.7 million. This is

equivalent to 60% of the Bank’s investments in West Africa with the transport sector having

the largest share of UA 1,769 million. The current transport portfolio in the PMCs, as of August

2015, has fourteen (14) active projects totaling UA 645.4 million, and includes two (2) projects

on the corridor. They are: i) Benin - Pahou-Ouidah-Hillacondji road upgrade and construction

of Joint Border Post at Hillacondji/ Sanvee Condji; ii) Ghana - Akatsi-Aflao road

reconstruction and upgrade of border facilities.

The main lessons from Bank-funded transport operations are generally: (i) delays on

project start-ups; (ii) longer than expected implementation period; and, (iii) the lack of

institutional capacity of the Borrower. These are compounded on multinational operations by

the: i) lack of ownership by the countries involved; ii) inadequate capacity of REC to fully

discharge its coordination role; and iii) differences of organizational structures in implementing

agencies of PMCs. The signing of the Treaty on the Lagos-Abidjan corridor highway

development project by the concerned Heads of State exemplifies project ownership and

commitment, which will assure the execution of the Study. However, weak capacity is

addressed by the provision of adequate resources to enhance project management capability of

the Executing Agency.

Key performance indicators

The performance indicators for the study are provided in the Results Based Logical

Framework (RBLF). The study outcome is the availability of design model and the output being

the study deliverables. Data collection will form part of the scope of the study and will reflect

both regional and national objectives. The main areas for which data will be collected and

analysed include, but not limited to, trade (flow and volume), transport (traffic density,

transport cost, vehicle operating cost, travel and transit times, road safety, etc.), environment

and socio-economic characteristics (employment, gender, compensations, health, etc.); border

operations (customs, transit times, etc.).

3. PROJECT FEASIBILITY

Economic and Financial performance

This is a project preparatory activity and does not in itself have direct economic impact.

Therefore, no economic performance will be determined. However, a multi-dimensional

economic analyses that encompasses national, regional and spatial dimensions will be

undertaken. The expected financial performance on the potential investment proposal will be

identified as part of the study.

8

Environmental and Social impacts

Environment

This intervention has no environmental impact and no assessment is therefore required

beyond categorization. Accordingly, it was assigned a level 3 category in October 2014 by the

Bank. A full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) will form part of the scope

of the study, which will ensure that downstream implementation activities comply with the

Bank’s and PMCs national environmental safeguard requirements.

Climate change

The footprint of the 1028km long road is large and exposed to varying geophysical

conditions and climate change scenarios. The design of infrastructure will take into account the

sustainability of the environment and develop economic climate-change mitigation and

adaptation solutions. Some of the scenarios to be considered include vulnerability of coastal

areas to, say, rising sea levels and impact on the livelihood. Consequently, food security is

compromised by the adverse and unforeseeable climate changes. The study will conduct the

necessary studies that will take into account national and international procedures as well as

the Bank’s climate change policy and screening tools. The use of the Bank’s climate change

specialized funds to support the engineering design was considered. This is relevant where

designing adaptation measures over and above the standard design is necessary. This is,

however, premature as potential climate change adaptation measures will only be apparent

when the design concept has been identified.

Gender, Social and Involuntary Resettlement.

The ESIA, as part of the study, will undertake detailed analysis on the impact of the

project on social and health attributes associated with the multi-cultural environment and the

corresponding cost for the mitigation and management measures. The study will include the

design of socio-economic infrastructure. All affected communities, people and businesses will

be identified to evaluate the scope, cost and modalities for any involuntary settlement in

accordance with the Bank’s requirements and that of respective countries. The ESIA study will

be guided by regional and national policies including the Bank’s and international

requirements. The study will analyse the adverse impact of the change of a corridor alignment

on the existing socio-economic landscape including how the risk of social exclusion must be

mitigated.

Safety

The safety of the corridor to all road users will be studied through a detailed road safety

audit procured independently and integrated in the trade and transport facilitation and detailed

design components. The deliverables of the audit and any implementation measures will form

part of the operational documentations and responsibilities of the ALCoMA.

4. IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation Arrangements

The ECOWAS Commission will be the Executing Agency (EA). In accordance with

the project Treaty, a Steering Committee (SC) composed of representatives of the line sector

Ministries from each member of the PMC will have an oversight role. Article 22 of the Treaty

requires ALCoMA to assume the functions and powers held by the SC once the former is

instituted and operational. ECOWAS will be represented at the SC by the Commissioner for

Infrastructure and will coordinate with the PMC at ministerial level through the SC.

9

The day-to-day management of the study will be undertaken by a Study Delivery Team

(SDT), which will report to the Commissioner for Infrastructure. SDT will maintain a

functional relationship with the sector ministries or agencies of the respective countries. SDT

will have a team composition commensurate of the tasks and will be led by a Project

Coordinator (PC) appointed by the Commissioner for Infrastructure, and working closely with

a team of Technical Assistance (TA) consultants. The PC role will be on a full time basis

supported on a part-time basis by representatives nominated by the respective sector agencies

of each of the five PMC, which make up the SDT. The TA resources will comprise experts in

key areas including, but not limited to, general project management, procurement, contracts

management, engineering, trade, etc. The PMC representatives on the SDT may have similar

competency mix to ensure working synergies. It is critical that the EA forms the SDT as soon

as possible to mitigate delays to the execution of the study.

Procurement

The Bank has assessed the procurement capacity of ECOWAS and its capability to

effectively undertake the procurement task. The Department of Infrastructure, under the

Commissioner for Infrastructure, has experience in the procurement and implementation of

AfDB funded projects. ECOWAS also has a Procurement Unit under the Commissioner for

Administration that operates at a corporate level and has no experience with Bank funded

projects. The Head of Procurement, however, has had some experience with World Bank

financed projects prior to joining ECOWAS. The Unit currently has a staff structure comprising

a Head of Procurement, three Procurement Officers, two Assistant Procurement Officers and

one Administrative Officer. Within the infrastructure department, the procurement tasks are

conducted by a technical team primarily comprising of Engineers and headed by a Sector

Director.

In assessing the procurement capacity, the Bank has taken a holistic approach by

evaluating the potential complementarities of the two department/unit towards enhancing

internal capacity. Leveraging the experiences and expert knowledge on procurement, the two

department/unit will collaborate in performing the procurement tasks. The procurement expert

on the technical assistance contract will be an addition to the team to further impart the relevant

capacity and promote ownership and coordination within ECOWAS.

Procurement of Consultancy services for the study will be carried out in accordance

with the Bank’s Rules and Procedures: ‘Rules and Procedures for the Use of Consultants’, dated

May 2008 Edition, (revised July 2012 or as may be revised), using the relevant Bank Standard

Bidding Documents, and the provisions stipulated in the Financing Agreement. Consultancy

services for Feasibility Studies, Detailed Design and ESIA will be selected by Quality-Based

Selection (QBS) method through an international short-listing of qualified consulting firms.

External financial audit services will be procured through national shortlists from Bank

accredited Auditors using Least Cost Selection (LCS) method. All remaining consultancy

services for other components will be selected on the basis of Quality and Cost Based Selection

(QCBS) method.

To obtain expressions of interest, EA shall include a list of expected consulting

assignments in the General Procurement Notice, and shall advertise a Specific Procurement

Notice requesting for expressions of interest for each contract for consulting firms in at least

one newspaper of national circulation in each PMC. The EA may also publish these notices in

the official gazette or an electronic portal with free access. In addition, contracts expected to

cost more than UA 200,000 shall be advertised in UNDB online and in the Bank’s Internet

Website. The EA may also advertise requests for expressions of interest in an international

newspaper or a technical magazine.

10

ECOWAS has experience in the use of the Bank rules and procedures although capacity

constraints has hampered past procurement processes. The task of technical assistance

consultant will include procurement and contract management support to ECOWAS as part of

the project management role to help expedite the procurement process.

Technical Annex A9 contains the details of procurement arrangements for the study.

There is no umbrella procurement law common to the Member Countries though ECOWAS

aspires to develop one in future. In addition, there is no known public procurement assessments

conducted for ECOWAS and regional level by Development Partners, which would generate

such reports as Regional Procurement Assessment Report (RPAR) or National Competitive

Bidding (NCB) Assessment Reports (NCB Report).

For each contract to be financed by the loan/grant, the different procurement methods

or consultant selection methods, estimated costs, prior-review requirements, and time-frame as

agreed between the Borrower and the Bank will be provided in the Procurement Plan. The

procurement arrangements for the project are summarized in table 4.1 below.

Financial Management and Disbursement

Financial statements for the loans and grants shall be prepared on completion of all

activities and shall be audited by an independent private audit firm selected in accordance with

the Terms of Reference (ToRs) approved by the Bank. The audit fee is included in the design

of the study. The audited financial statements shall be submitted to the Bank no later than six

months after the completion of the study.

The Direct Payment Method of disbursement shall be used in payment for services

rendered by the selected firm shall be done directly by the Bank based upon a request by the

Commission and will follow the procedures outlined in the Bank’s disbursement handbook.

The disbursement method for the funding of one-year operations of ALCoMA will be through

a revolving special account in a commercial bank opened by ECOWAS and acceptable to the

Bank. The responsibility for the preparation of the Financial Statements (FS) lies with

ECOWAS and will be responsible for the selection of accounting policies and prepare the FS

in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The

Commission will engage a full time Project Accountant from the TA budget to undertake all

project accountings tasks.

11

Monitoring

Monitoring of the study by the Bank will be on the project management performance

of ECOWAS and the quality of services of all the consultancies including the TA. The Bank

will monitor adherence to key schedule milestones, quality of deliverables and outputs through

periodic supervisions, mid-term reviews and quarterly reporting. The Bank will monitor closely

the activities on the ESIA to ensure compliance with the requirements and also to mitigate any

re-work of the ESIA during the appraisal for investment. The Bank’s regional office (ORNG)

located in Nigeria in collaboration with sector department (OITC), regional integration

department (ONRI), and the field offices in Ghana (GHFO) and Togo/Benin (TGFO) will be

on hand to monitor the project. The project implementation and monitoring schedule is

provided below in Table 4.2.

Governance

The ECOWAS Commission is committed to execute the study using adequate

safeguards on public expenditure. It is a well-established Regional Economic Community,

managing several donor interventions including the Bank and benefits from various support to

strengthen its capacity.

The governance issue may arise from procurement decisions and in the modalities of

establishing ALCoMA and the latter may be in the form of conflicting roles between ECOWAS

and ALCoMA. Fiduciary risks will be mitigated through the systematic use of Bank’s rules and

periodic financial audits to provide feedback and early warning. The establishment of

ALCoMA will follow the recommendations of the study and will require extensive consultation

among PMCs prior to instituting the authority.

Sustainability

The study will evaluate economically sustainable maintenance solutions taking into

consideration private sector participation, performance-based contract methodology and the

maintenance systems in the respective countries, which will guarantee sustained performance

of the road. The corridor-wide operational and maintenance framework to be executed by

ALCoMA will be formulated by this study (Component 5).

Risk management

The potential risks and outcome indicators are:

Outcome Risks

Delays in the adoption and implementation of the study recommendations would

adversely impact investment prospects and stifle corridor’s performance. The study will entail

comprehensive consultations with DPs and PMCs with investment roadshows to ensure buy-in

and implementable and realistic strategies are agreed upon.

12

Output Risks

Procurement Delays: Delays in the procurement of consultant may affect the schedule

of study completion. To mitigate, the detailed Terms of Reference (ToR) for all the components

are being developed. ECOWAS has completed the process of engaging the PMCs to collaborate

in finalizing the ToR. A final review will be conducted upon approval of funds for this study.

Study Coordination: Lack of proper coordination and efficient monitoring of the

consultant. This risk will be mitigated by appointing the Project Coordinator to manage daily

project activities and the engagement of a fully resourced TA team. Other mitigation measures

include timely interventions of the respective Bank Task Managers in each country to liaise

and facilitate communication with sector agencies at an early stage to ensure coherent approach.

Quality of Study Output: Some deliverables may not meet the required quality. This

may be due to inadequate ToR, inadequate scrutiny of the performance of service providers,

and general project and contract management inadequacies of ECOWAS, TA and SDT. The

preparation of the ToR will have the input of the Bank. The review and validation processes of

deliverables will be thorough and a well-resourced TA support to ECOWAS will strengthen

the project management capabilities.

Knowledge Building

This intervention significantly enhances the Bank’s knowledge on corridor

development leading to a broader impact. It presents further opportunity for Bank-wide

collaboration between departments and strengthen knowledge base. The study will test some

of the regional integration strategies of the Bank and provide opportunities to evaluate, refine

and build sustainable strategies. The multi-dimensional nature of the study will reveal the

complexities of the corridor to better inform future and effective interventions. The Bank will

leverage the experience of this intervention to help develop the Dakar-Abidjan section.
