Foreword

This Booklet provides you with a comprehensive overview of the partnerships and coopera-tion opportunities with the African Development Bank. The Bank’s Medium-term Strategy (2008-12) urges us to “build more effective partnerships based on clearer and more specific agreements to deliver well-articulated results.”

Accordingly, the Bank has intensified its efforts to promote focused partnerships and coop-eration with a wide range of stakeholders. Today, our resource mobilization and partnerships building are well aligned with our core mandates, including Infrastructure, Governance, Pri-vate Sector Development and Higher Education. We are also paying particular attention to Regional Integration, Fragile States, Middle-Income Countries, Agriculture, Gender, Climate Change and Knowledge Management.

In the face of the global financial crisis, it is imperative for us all to work even more closely together. It is of utmost importance to ensure effective and efficient use of available financial resources and development expertise through better harmonization and aid coordination. This will maximize results and make a positive difference on the ground in the Bank’s 53 regional member countries in Africa.

The AfDB Partnerships Forum, which is held in March each year, aims to enhance concrete collaboration with our increasingly diversified development partners. We look forward to an open exchange at the upcoming Forum on 24-25 March 2010 in Tunis.

Executive Summary

PART I ‐ MULTI‐DONOR THEMATIC FUNDSThe Bank is proposing to establish new Thematic Funds to secure dedicated resources to address key development challenges in Climate Change, Sustainable Energy, Higher Education and Science and Technology, Knowledge Management, Regional Integration and South South/Triangular Cooperation. These new Funds are expected to complement the ADF/ADB financing.

Under the eight Multi-donor Thematic Funds which are being managed by relevant Technical De-partments, 62 proposals were approved in 2009, totaling UA61,282,175. These Funds are African Water Facility (AWF), Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), Multi-Donor Water Partnership Program (MWPP), NEPAD-Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (NEPAD-IPPF), the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA) and Congo Basin Forest Fund.

UA51,518,896 was newly mobilized in 2009 for Thematic Funds - UA29,784,543 to replenish AWF, RWSSI, MWPP, NEPAD-IPPF and FAPA and UA21,734,352 for newly established Microfinance Trust Fund and Migration and Development Fund. The second phase of Governance Trust Fund is expected to be approved by the Board in April 2010.

PART II ‐ BILATERAL TRUST FUNDSIn 2009, the Partnerships and Cooperation Unit implemented a rationalization plan of bilateral Trust Funds, whereby three options have been offered to tied Donors, namely: 1) untying the remaining bal-ance; 2) allocating the unused balance to untied Thematic Funds; and 3) returning the tied balance to Donors.

At the beginning of 2009, 12 out of 21 Bilateral Funds were completely or partially tied. While en-couraging the pooling of resources under Thematic Funds, the number of Bilateral Trust Funds will be reduced from 21 to 15, with only three tied Funds remaining this year. Since January 2007, all new resources mobilized for Bilateral Trust Funds, including the replenishment, are fully untied, as re-quired by the Trust Funds Reform Program. In August 2009, SAP-based Trust Funds Management System was launched to enhance the internal efficiency.

65 proposals were newly approved in 2009, totaling UA 12.185 million. As compared with 2007, the annual commitment of Bilateral Trust Funds has increased by 57% in volume. The trend in new ap-provals is shown in the Figure below, which demonstrates the considerable growth in the utilization of Bilateral Trust Funds over the past three years. Improvement in results reporting of Trust Funds op-erations remains a challenge.

PART III ‐ CO‐FINANCINGThe Bank has currently nine co-financing agreements signed with partners to jointly finance priority sector projects such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and human resources development. The main objective of co-financing is to pool investment resources and development expertise, enhance synergies, reduce transaction costs and share risks in financing large-scale projects.

From 2008 to 2009, partners’ co-financing with AfDB projects increased sharply. The total amount mobilized through co-financing in 2009 is higher than the sum of contributions in 2007- 2008, repre-senting 141% increase compared to 2008. The Bank is increasingly co-financing cross-border pro-jects, contributing to the regional integration in Africa.

PART IV ‐ TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND SECONDMENTSIn 2009, the Bank has benefited from the rapidly increasing interest from partners to provide technical experts and secondees, mainly to support the institutional capacity building of the Bank. A number of donors are providing experts and secondees in governance, water, climate change, infrastructure, pri-vate sector development, among others. At present, 16 secondees and 8 technical assistants are posted

Partnerships and Cooperation Opportunities v

in various organizational units of the Bank. Institutional arrangements for 24 new technical assistants and secondees are being formalized with various partners.

The Bank is finalizing a new policy governing donor-funded technical assistants and secondees to ensure its alignment with the ongoing human resources reform and the Bank’s Medium-Term Strat-egy.

PART V – INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPSThe Medium-Term Strategy (2008-2012) states that: “The Bank will build more effective partnerships based on clearer and more specific agreements to deliver well-articulated results.” The AfDB has partnered with a wide range of development actors in both public and private sectors to achieve greater coordination and complementarities in responding to the needs of Regional Member Countries (RMCs). The Bank’s partnerships are usually formalized through Cooperation Agreements and MOUs. The emergence of new donors and the renewed interest of traditional partners are reflected in the Bank’s recent partnerships development.

In 2009, the Partnerships and Cooperation Unit has conducted a comprehensive progress review of 65 existing Agreements/MOUs that have been signed with 56 partner institutions since the Bank’s estab-lishment. The Final Report will be released in the second quarter of 2010.

Background and ObjecEvesThe Making Finance Work for Africa (MFW4A) Partnership is a G8 initiative launched in October 2007 with the mission of establishing a common platform for the harmonization and facilitation of financial sector development and knowledge sharing in Africa. The Partnership works to bring to-gether donor partners, African governments, the private sector, and additional financial sector stake-holders to unleash the full potential of the financial sector to drive economic development and reduce poverty across the continent.

The MFW4A Partnership Secretariat was established at the AfDB in June 2008 and works to advance the overall objectives of the Partnership by: 1) centralising and disseminating financial sector knowl-edge; 2) convening partners and facilitating dialogue and exchange on financial sector themes and challenges; and 3) serving as a broker between supply and demand for financial sector assistance to help improve the coordination and efficiency of donor funding in the financial sector.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsFinancial sector development ranging from access to finance to domestic bond market development

Target BeneficiariesDonors through enhanced coordination and transparency of operationsPublic and Private sector entities (e.g. Ministries of finance, central banks, regulatory bodies, private banks and research centers, etc.) involved in financial sector development in Africa through enhanced knowledge sharing and access to donors.

Results and MilestonesDonor coordinationMFW4A/AU Workshop and joint paper on microfinance, Addis Ababa, September 2009• At the request of the AU, the MFW4A Partnership convened partners for a microfinance workshop

at AU’s headquarters. It resulted in an agreement by partners to jointly draft a document summariz-ing key challenges and opportunities for microfinance in Africa and minimum standard recommen-dations for good practice in microfinance. Advancing the African Microfinance Sector was finalized by the AU Department of Economic Affairs and endorsed by member states during the Conference of African Ministers of Economy and Finance (CAMEF) in December 2009.

Remittances Working Group Workshop, Tunis, October 2009• The MFW4A Partnership hosted the second meeting of the MFW4A Remittances Working Group

ahead of the IFAD/AfDB Global Forum on Remittances. The working group brought together do-nors active in the field to discuss shared priorities and objectives, take stock of ongoing activities, exchange information, and coordinate future interventions.

EventsAccess to Finance Financial Capability Forum, Accra, September 2009• The conference brought together over 200 policy makers, regulators and journalists as well as repre-

sentatives of private sector financial institutions, the education sector, consumer protection agen-cies, and development partners to highlight ongoing efforts to strengthen financial capability and consumer protection mechanisms as essential to improving financial inclusion and consumer confi-dence in Africa.

MFW4A Partnership Retreat on the Impact of the Financial Crisis, Bonn, October 2009• The MFW4A Partnership and BMZ hosted a 2-day retreat to discuss the impact of the global finan-

cial crisis on the financial sector in Africa, priorities for donor interventions, specific feedback and



lessons learned from donor cooperation at the country level, and a knowledge agenda for the next several years, including plans for a second edition of the Making Finance Work for Africa publica-tion. Findings from the Workshop report, endorsed by participants, discussed the financial crisis im-pact and future priorities for financial sector interventions.

Regional Financial Integration Workshop, Tunis, December 2009 • In collaboration with AfDB, the MFW4A Partnership organized a workshop to present and discuss

the outcomes of a study on Regional Financial Integration in the AMU, CEMAC and COMESA regions.

Dissemination of information: The MFW4A Web site (launch March/April 2010) is intended to serve as the knowledge hub for financial sector development in Africa, tying together the latest news, events and publications on the financial sector in Africa with country profiles, thematic pages, and blogs by leading experts from government, the donor community, civil society, and the private sector.

AdministraEon and Governance Structure• The Partnership Forum is composed of partners active in supporting the development of the fi-

nancial sector in Africa at national and regional levels. The Forum meets once a year to discuss fi-nancial sector development topics agreed upon in advance. The next Forum is planned for Q4 2010.

• The Supervisory Committee (SC) is composed of partners contributing a minimum of US$ 50,000 per year to the Partnership, either in cash or in kind. SC members oversee the Secretariat’s activi-ties.

• The Secretariat, composed of a core permanent team and supervised by the Partnership Coordina-tor, conducts the day-to-day activities of the Partnership, including the coordination of partner ac-tivities, development of website, and the hosting of events as per the demands of the partners and the Forum.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources Required• MFW4A web site (launch expected in March/April 2010)• MFW4A book: Planned for publication in early 2011. A joint World Bank/AfDB/GTZ team work-

ing under the umbrella of the MFW4A Partnership will conduct research in 2010.• Making Finance Work for Specific Countries: The Partnership is exploring a model of convening

partners to work closely in syndication with country authorities to address financial sector chal-lenges. A first effort is currently in development under the leadership of the government of Ethiopia and AfDB.

• MFW4A Forum and MFW4A Retreat• Additional resources needed: funding for the Partnership Forum and other events and research

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardSince its establishment, the main challenges have related primarily to providing transparency to donor interventions (e.g. analyzing supply of resources for financial sector development) and to establishing a mechanism for receiving and processing recipient needs (i.e. demand analysis). The next key chal-lenges for the Partnership will be to consolidate the Web site as a financial sector knowledge hub and improve transparency around recipient driven needs, as expressed by the recipient countries, and to ensure that they are addressed in coordination by the donor community.

MicroOinance Multidonor Trust Fund (new)

Date of agreement: Bilateral Fund Approval, July 2009 (Multi-Donor Fund Approval in process)Current volume of the fund: Euro 15.1 million Financial contributors: Government of Spain (Euro 15 million), UNCDF (US$ 150,000)

Background and ObjecEvesTo support the implementation of the AfDB’s Private Sector Development Strategy by providing technical assistance and capacity building programs for microfinance institutions (MFI) and related industry sectors.

• Retail institutions (microlevel): create, broaden and deepen a diversified supply side of financial services to the poor. This will be a multifaceted activity that could involve training programs, capac-ity building/consultancy and knowledge sharing events.

• Market infrastructure related operators (mesolevel): promote the strengthening of the market infrastructure so that MFIs can rely upon high-quality, sustainable services. Areas of assistance in-clude: technical service providers (auditors, raters, consultants and trainers), financial infrastructure (credit bureaus and collateral registries), networks and professional associations, and wholesale lending institutions.

• Legal, regulatory and supervision framework (macrolevel): enacting legislation and regulations that support microfinance, enabling innovative delivery mechanisms, cultivating respect for the rule of law, particularly laws concerning the enforcement of loan contracts and collateral, eliminating interest rates caps, fostering savings mobilization while protecting the fiduciary interest of deposi-tors, training and financing supervision teams, support in reporting and information assessment.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐Sectors• Creating an enabling and transparent regulatory environment• Strengthening financial systems• Promoting the development of micro-small and medium-scale enterprises

Target Beneficiaries Please note the following on the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s): KPIs can help current donors make decisions about the further disbursement of money to the Fund, while other potential donors can use this information to decide if they are interested in disbursing grant money through the Fund. Indicators that demonstrate a positive track record could be a very persuasive in terms of encouraging other donors to participate. KPIs can be either output and/or out-come based, meaning they can measure the actions carried out by the Fund or its grantees (outputs), or the impact created by those actions (outcomes). KPIs should be available both on a cumulative ba-sis and per funding round. Some KPIs that the Fund could consider using are outlined below.• The number of applications received• Grant recipients by type (e.g., governments, Tier 2 MFIs, etc.)• Total funds disbursed• Number of projects funded• Countries where projects have been funded• Women that are forecast to be impacted through the business planning processes coupled with new

Migration and Development Trust Fund (new)

Date of agreement: October 23, 2009Current volume of the fund: Euro 6.14 million Financial contributors: France (Euro 6 million) and IFAD (US$ 0.2 million)

Background and ObjecEvesThe reduction of costs of remittances and their mobilization, in addition to other financing sources, is a topic of increased interest for the AfDB. In this context, the Bank has engaged with several partners, in particular with France, to explore the ways and means for mobilizing these funds and to promote the positive impacts of their use not only for beneficiaries, but also for the development of recipient countries. In this regard, the Bank established a multidonor fund with the objective of promoting and assisting local initiatives and those emerging from diasporas that aim to reduce transfer costs and bet-ter use transferred funds. The main components are:

Areas of Focus / Sub‐Sectors• Information and knowledge of migrant fund flows• Regulation of the operations of fund transfers• Products and financial intermediaries• Assistance in the creation of enterprises and local development

Target BeneficiariesMigrants, their beneficiaries, and communities in their country of origin.

Results and Milestones• Enhance the availability of information and assist different stakeholders working in the field

of fund transfers. This component will enhance knowledge in order to design targeted activities and promote competition through better information of the stakeholders. It entails: a) the mapping of fund transfers and b) the dissemination of information.

• Assist the reform of regulatory frameworks. By modernizing regulatory frameworks and opera-tors, this component aims to enhance financial markets for the benefit of migrants and beneficiaries.

• Development of new financial products. Developing and testing new financial products that re-spond better to the needs and capacities of migrants and beneficiaries can be considered risky and expensive for financial intermediaries, particularly MFIs. One main objective of this component will be to promote the financial intermediaries’ engagement through cofinancing or other forms of support for developing financial products.

• Promotion of productive investment. This component aims to assist migrants in the creation of SMEs and, promote the creation of private equity and investment funds for advancing innovative SME projects that involve migrants and local entrepreneurs.

• Promotion of local development. This component will promote projects that mutualize healthcare costs as well as cofinance infrastructure projects in the areas of education, health, small hydro scheme and renewable energy.

AdministraEon and Governance StructureThe governance and administrative structure is composed of a coordinator, a technical review com-mittee and an oversight committee.• Coordinator: he/she will be a Bank staff member. Responsible for receiving and screening financ-

African Financing Partnership

Background and ObjecEvesThe African Financing Partnership (AFP) is a collaborative, co-financing platform amongst Develop-ment Finance Institutions (DFIs) active in private sector project financing in Africa. The AFP is a component of the AfDB’s mission to help reduce poverty in Africa by mobilizing resources for private sector development on the continent. The objective of the AFP is to bring together DFI partners with a similar mission so that further results could be delivered through combined efforts.

The AFP is based on the partnership strategy set out in the Strategy Update for the Bank’s Private Sector Operations, approved by the AfDB Board of Directors in January 2008. There is evident need for partnerships, including with external development finance institutions, to enhance the effective-ness and efficiency of financing in Africa.

An AFP MOU is being signed between the core group of eight DFIs called the AFP Promoting Part-ners. The MOU endorses improvement in efficiency across multilateral and bilateral financing institu-tions, achieving best practices, reducing cost and “doing more with less.” The partners include:1. AfDB2. Deutsche Investitions-UND Entwicklungsgesellschaft MBH (DEG) 3. Development Bank of Southern Africa Ltd. (DBSA)4. European Investment Bank (EIB) 5. Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Ltd. (IDC) 6. International Finance Corporation (IFC)7. Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (FMO)8. Societe de Promotion et de Participation pour la Coopeartion Economique S. A. (PROPARCO)

Following the signing of the MOU, the AFP would expand to include other DFIs and commercial fi-nancial institutions partners as AFP Participating Partners. The AFP legal models would range from pure cofinancing structures, through the quasi-syndication phase of involving smaller DFIs and com-mercial partners along with syndication under a B-loan approach and to the potential establishment of AFP as a special purpose vehicle.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe two main areas of focus are:• Harmonization: creating common best practices and collaboration between DFIs operating in Af-

rica• Additionality: using DFI capital to leverage private capital for catalyzing greater investments in

development in AfricaThe three main sectors of operations under the AFP are:

(i) Infrastructure – Power, Transport, ICT and Water/Sanitation(ii) Industries – Extractive Industries, Agribusiness and Healthcare(iii)Financial Institutions – African DFIs, Banks, Microfinance, Guarantees

Target BeneficiariesThe AFP aims at the efficient mobilization of resources for investment in project financing in Africa. The beneficiaries would include infrastructure and industrial-related projects with large funding re-quirements. This would lead to the creation of jobs and socio-economic development on the continent.

Results and MilestonesIn 2009, the promoting partners collaborated on projects in debt and equity mobilizing over US$ 1bil-lion in financing in Africa, these include:

• Enfidha Airport, new airport; Tunisia (transport)• Main One Cable, submarine fiber optic cable from Portugal, Nigeria, and Ghana; Nigeria (telecom

cable)



• Helios Towers, mobile telecom towers company expansion; Nigeria (ICT)• Investment Fund for Health in Africa, PE fund in healthcare supply chain in Africa; Pan-African

(healthcare)• Equity Vehicle for Healthcare in Africa, PE fund for Africa’s private healthcare SMEs; Pan-African

(healthcare)

In 2009, the Joint IFI/DFI Action Plan in Response to the Financial Crisis was coordinated under the AFP platform. This combined effort mobilized up to US$ 15 billion in financing to combat the finan-cial crisis in Africa. The key initiatives under the Joint IFI/DFI Action Plan included: Bank Capitaliza-tion Fund (BCF), Global Trade Liquidity Program (GTLP), Microfinance Fund (REGMIFA and MEF), African SME Guarantee Fund (ASGF), Emergency Liquidity Facility (ELF), Infrastructure Crisis Facility (ICF), EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund, African Agriculture Fund (AAF).

AdministraEon and Governance StructureThe AFP Secretariat is established at AfDB, in the Private Sector Department (OPSM). The AFP has a steering committee composed of the heads of strategic business or private sector departments for Af-rica at the respective AFP Promoting Partners. This AFP Committee meets at least twice a year, in-cluding at the Annual Meetings of the AfDB. AFP focal points at each DFI will participate in monthly conference calls on the AFP projects pipeline and other coordination matters.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources RequiredThe AFP MOU is being signed in the first quarter of 2010. The AFP Operational Guidelines will be effective by end of the third quarter of 2010.

Several projects are in the pipeline for 2010, targeting mobilization of investment and capital for pro-jects in Africa. This year, the target for collaborative co-financing is manifold, including financing projects in countries such as Sierra Leone and Côte d’Ivoire. These projects are in sectors such as infrastructure, power, renewable energy, and agribusiness.

The AFP Operational Guidelines are in the process of being developed. These Operational Guidelines outline the process under which one promoting partner takes the lead in the project. The lead institu-tion arranges the total financing required for the project, coordinating the approaches from the other DFIs and commercial financial institutions.

The seed capital estimated for the AFP Secretariat is US$ 900,000. This budget will be used to fund the AFP Secretariat for the next three years at the AfDB. Initially this will be staffed by a senior pro-fessional to serve as a Coordinator. There is an anticipated need for a junior support staff. Total costs for each year are estimated to be US$ 300,000. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has provided initial funding for the AFP Secretariat.

DBSA, DEG, EIB, FMO, IDC, IFC and PROPARCO are committed partners on the investment side of the AFP, but core funding for the AFP Secretariat requires additional grant support.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways Forward With eight anticipated promoting partners taking the lead in two to three AFP projects per year, the partnership is estimated to finance 10 to 20 projects in Africa, which could reach well above US$10 billion in total financing. This institutional coordination and facilitation necessitates an AFP Secretar-iat to ensure the strengthening of relationships and partnerships amongst the participating DFIs.

African Guarantee Fund for Small and MediumSized Enterprises (new)

Background and ObjecEvesA general consensus has emerged around the key role that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can have in reducing poverty and achieving the MDGs in African countries. In order to make use of their potential, SMEs need increased access to bank credit. African SMEs historically lack access to fi-nance, and this is likely to be exacerbated by the effects of the financial and economic crisis on the continent.

There is a strong economic case for scaling up support for African SMEs. Development assistance for SMEs in Africa remains highly fragmented, with several donors and development finance institutions (DFIs) running a number of SME programs in an uncoordinated way. A regionalization of support and a pooling of resources are required to avoid duplications and inefficiencies, in the spirit of the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda for Action.

In particular, the provision of guarantees complemented by development of banks’ capacity to engage in SME lending and support for basic business management skills and access to business development services for SMEs, seems to be the most effective policy instrument for easing the problem of access to credit for SMEs. The Africa Commission has called for the establishment of an African Guarantee Fund (AGF) for SMEs. The AfDB, the Danish Government (Danida) and the IFC are currently im-plementing the initiative. The AGF will be the regional conduit for channeling guarantees and techni-cal assistance for both financial institutions and the SME sector.

The objective of the AGF as envisaged by the Africa Commission is to set up a regional conduit for channeling guarantees and technical assistance for both financial institutions and the SME sector which will permanently improve access to finance for SMEs. The aim is to achieve enhanced growth in the SME sector, thereby creating increased employment opportunities in the economy, particularly for the youth.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe AGF will provide financial support to the African SME sector and to the partner lending institu-tions (PLIs) through an appropriate and balanced mix of interventions. In doing so, the AGF will con-tribute to set the conditions for increasing employment, especially among the youth, and to the devel-opment of the financial sector, ultimately increasing income, productivity and competitiveness of African economies.

Target BeneficiariesThe AGF will ultimately target all African formal SMEs regardless of sector, industry, location, etc. An SME is defined as a private enterprise that falls within the relevant partner lending institution’s (PLI) definition of SMEs.

The intermediate target group will be PLIs.

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed AcEviEes and OutcomesAGF plans to begin its operations in the second half of 2010. In 2011, it is anticipated to significantly expand its resources. It is expected to reach full capacity within three years time.

The AGF will provide (i) loan portfolio guarantees to PLIs, (ii) financial guarantees to PLIs, (iii) ca-pacity development support for PLIs, and (iv) capacity development support for SMEs. Through the supply of these products and services, the AGF will help improve access to credit for SMEs as they start and grow their businesses. It will also contribute to address the issue of limited technical capacity of both PLIs and SMEs.



The AGF will mobilize substantial financial resources for African SMEs thus contributing to private sector development, job creation and ultimately poverty reduction. It will provide provide countercy-clical support to financial institutions through easing access to liquidity and strengthening their capac-ity to create credit. It will also provide capacity development support for both PLIs and SMEs thus increasing productivity and competitiveness. The AGF will finally contribute to increasing aid effec-tiveness in the context of shrinking development support for SMEs through channelling financial as-sistance into a regional conduit.

Proposed AdministraEon and Governance Structure The proposed initiative would be run either as a newly established entity or as a facility administered by the AfDB, with donors committing resources into dedicated trust funds. Other partners will include the private sector entities.

Resources RequiredThe exact size of the AGF will depend upon interest and consensus among donors. A first closing of US$ 40 million amongst the three founding partners is planned by July 2010 and a second closing of approximately US$ 140 million, open to other donors and DFIs, is anticipated in 2011.

Denmark and IFC have expressed an interest.

African Water Facility

Date of agreement: Special Fund, approved December 2009Current volume of the fund: Euro 110 million Financial contributors: Algeria, Austria, Canada, European Commission, Denmark, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Senegal, UK

Background and ObjecEvesThe African Water Facility (AWF) is an instrument designed to assist the successful implementation of the Africa Water Vision and the associated Framework for Action for 2025. The overall purpose of the Facility is to assist African countries to mobilize and apply resources for the water and sanitation sector in Africa.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsAWF provides support in the following areas:• Strengthening water governance by increasing African countries and regional organisations’ capac-

ity to govern their water resources based on IWRM principles and cooperative arrangements.• Meeting water needs through the preparation of programmes and projects that will attract follow-on

investments, and piloting innovative technologies and approaches that may lead to widespread adoption.

• Strengthening the financial base of African countries and regional organizations by attracting addi-tional funding to the sector and ensuring more effective use of available funding.

• Improving water knowledge by increasing the capacity for informed decisions making to guide wa-ter development planning and implementation.

• Instigating and promoting strategic initiatives in support of the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW) agenda.

Target BeneficiariesCentral Government/Ministry or Agencies; Local Government/Municipalities; NGOs/CSOs/CBOs; regional, sub-regional and sectoral organization; Lake and River Basin Organizations

Results and Milestones61 projects, at a total investment of about Euro 69 million have been approved since the Facility be-came operational in 2006. They are spread across more than 20 countries and cover these interven-tions:• 11 projects relate to the implementation of national IWRM• 8 projects focus on the implementation of trans-boundary water resources development initiatives

and programs in Africa• 18 projects concern preparation of water supply and sanitation programs/projects• 13 projects are small capital investment projects designed to attract additional resources or to intro-

duce innovative technologies• 11 projects support information and knowledge management

Since its inception, AWF has mobilized Euro 110 million, from the European Commission (25 mil-lion), Canada (13.3 million), France (12 million), Denmark (5.4 million), Sweden (12.3 million), Norway (10.6 million), Austria (0.4 million), Spain (12 million),Algeria (0.1 million),UK (16.5 mil-lion) and Senegal (0.2 million)

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways Forward• There is a large demand for AWF support and requests have been received from many types of re-

cipient organisations.• The flexibility the Facility provides by supporting facilitation as well as capital investments is ap-

preciated by beneficiaries.• The AWF has put in place functional and effective project processing systems. The Facility is con-

sidering using a programmatic approach, where practical, to optimise use of human resources and allow for long term support in areas like TWRM.

• Fast tracking the project processing has been achieved and has become a main characteristic.• Strong partnerships are critical for the Facility to mobilize resources for the sector and requires the

Facility to heighten visibility and become more of a knowledge based organisation.• Involving private sector entities is seen as essential in catalysing additional funding.

The key challenge facing the Facility is mobilising the Euro 139 million needed for the implementa-tion of the 2009-2011 Operational Program. Medium- to long-term financial commitments are re-quired for the Facility to reach a critical mass where it is able to make a tangible difference to the wa-ter and sanitation sector in Africa.

Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative

Date of agreement: 2006Current volume of the fund: Euro 90 millionFinancial contributors: France (Euro 40 million), Denmark (Euro 30 million), and the Netherlands (Euro 20 million)

Background and ObjecEvesThe AfDB strategy in water and sanitation sector is to increase its financing mainly for rural interven-tions where the poorest 65% of population live with maintaining support for peri-urban/ urban areas, water for irrigation and hydropower and trans-boundary water resources management. In 2003, the AfDB developed the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), which is a key initiative in the AfDB. The RWSSI Trust Fund (RWSSI TF) started operation in 2007.

The RWSSI objective is to reduce poverty through attainment of the MDGs by accelerating access to improved rural water supply and sanitation (WSS) facilities to 80% by year 2015 in a sustainable and environmentally manner. The RWSSI TF earmarks resources to the AfDB with a view to scale up the financing of its programs.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsFocus areas include water supply, sanitation, hygiene, sector policy and strategy, capacity building and funds mobilization for Rural Water and Sanitation sub-sector.

Target BeneficiariesAbout 280 million people living in rural Africa with access to and using new and rehabilitated water supply and sanitation (WSS) facilities.

Results and Milestones24 programs approved in 20 countries by the AfDB for total UA 1.52 billion The AfDB financing for these programs reached UA 593.62 million while the contribution from RWSSI TF amounted to 56.60 million, covering nine programs in: Niger, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, CAR, and Comoros. The 24 programs leveraged UA 869.78 from other donors and beneficiaries.

By 2010, the programs will provide access to WSS to more than 31 million people. As of June 2009, about 10.89 million people have access to drinking water and 9.97 million improved sanitation as a result of the initiative.

The implementation of these programs have to a large extent satisfied the Paris Declaration require-ments notably: (i) 11 programs are based on national programs that adopted SWAPs, (ii) 6 programs use country systems for national procurement and donor systems for international procurement, (iii) 2 programs use country systems only, (iv) 11 programs use national implementation arrangements, and (v) 8 programs have developed common monitoring systems and carry out annual sector reviews.

AdministraEon and Governance Structure• RWSSI TF Committee: Representatives from France, Denmark, and Netherlands, and OWAS De-

partment. The Committee convenes once a year to review progress and approve the annual work programme. The process is underway for Canada and Switzerland to join the Fund with contribu-tions of CAD 36.00 million and CHF 2.16 million respectively.

• RWSSI TF Focal Point: OWAS Department appraises and processes the programmes through the AfDB’s internal review process.

• Approval Process: RWSS programmes co-financed by RWSSI TF follow the AfDB’s approval process through AfDB Board of Directors.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardExperiences: Programmatic approach is experienced in 60% of the RWSSI interventions with less use of PIUs and quicker program development.

Challenges: Fast tracking program implementation and increase sector implementation capacity.

Way Forward: (i) mobilize more resources for RWSS, (ii) continue to advocate for more political sup-port for RWSSI at the highest political level, (iii) continue to strengthen collaboration and harmoniza-tion with development partners, (iv) more use of country systems for procurement and financial man-agement, (v) increase support for capacity building for long term sustainability including service pro-viders; enhance the collaboration with NGOs, and (vi) develop M&E systems with appropriate indica-tors at country level, start with simple systems and build them up.

MultiDonor Water Partnership Programme

Date of agreement: December 2, 2002Current volume of the fund: Equivalent to Euro 9.14 millionFinancial contributors: Netherlands, Canada and Denmark

Background and ObjecEvesThe Bank-Netherlands Water Partnership Program (BNWPP) was established in December 2002 be-tween AfDB and the Government of the Netherlands. The BNWPP was transformed into a Multi-Donor Water Partnership Program (MDWPP) with the participation of the Canadian and Danish gov-ernments in March 2006.

The objective of Water Partnership Programme (WPP) is to help operationalize the Bank's IWRM Policy, create awareness on and enhance commitment to IWRM among RMCs, and support the coor-dinating efforts of the Bank with respect to the various water initiatives.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐Sectors• IWRM outreach and knowledge sharing• Support to the Bank’s operations capacity• Water information and data management at AfDB• Support for transfer of best practice and experiences

Target Beneficiaries AfDB, RMCs, Regional and Sub-Regional Organizations

Results and MilestonesThe WPP is providing the Bank with an opportunity to enhance its knowledge and learning in the wa-ter sector, which has better enabled the Bank staff to play a key role in promoting dialogue with key regional actors on critical water sector issues such as water security, the MDGs, and sanitation deliv-ery. 57 activities have been funded, with 40 of them completed and 17 under implementation. Results achieved include:

• IWRM Outreach and Knowledge Sharing: A series of activities in North, Eastern and Southern Africa to promote IWRM planning and enhance knowledge sharing between countries and institu-tions on best practices supported in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership. The WPP has been instrumental in facilitating dialogue on key sector issues, as evidenced by support to the prepa-ration for the Heads of States Summit on water and sanitation in Sharm-El Sheikh, Egypt in 2008, the First and Second Africa Water Weeks, and the African Sanitation conference. The program has also supported activities of thematic networks such as the Rural Water Supply Network and pro-moted dialogue on key sector issues between the AfDB and international/regional bodies including the UN Secretary-General’s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation and the African Ministerial Council on Water (AMCOW).

• Enhanced Bank Operational Capacity: The program was instrumental in the establishment of three important special initiatives at the Bank: the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI), the African Water Facility (AWF), and the ClimDev Programme. They are mainstreaming IWRM and climate risk management processes in Bank operations and making significant contribu-tions to MDGs.

• Increased Awareness and Adoption of Best Practices: The program has supported the preparation of a number of key regional studies and reviews including an agricultural water use study, a water sector governance study, a joint review of the Sanitation and Hygiene Status in 32 countries carried out with the World Bank/WSP and the African Regional Documents for the Fourth and Fifth World Water Forums. It has also supported development of guidelines related to water user fees and cost recovery, rainwater harvesting, water and poverty, and management of wetlands, and sponsored ac-tivities aimed at increasing the knowledge of Bank staff on innovative water and sanitation tech-nologies, such as use of photovoltaic pumping in rural water systems.



• Strengthened Information and Data Management: The WWP has been supporting Bank efforts to manage water information effectively to enhance decision making and improve operational effec-tiveness. A situation analysis of the water information systems in the Bank has been undertaken, leading to the development of a framework for the implementation of a water information and data management (WIDM) system. A communication approach and dissemination plan has been devel-oped to strengthen sharing of water sector information and knowledge.

AdministraEon and Governance Structure• Steering Committee (Representatives of AfDB, Netherlands, Canada and Denmark): Approves the

overall program. • OIVP: Approves annual program and budget. • Director of OWAS: Approves individual detailed activities and budget, designates Program Coor-

dinator and oversees implementation of the program.• Technical Working Group (TWG): Reviews Annual Implementation Plan and Progress Reports

prior to submission to the Director of OWAS.• Programme Coordinator (PC): Coordination of activities of the program, including reporting • Task Managers (TM): Prepare detailed activity proposals and responsible for implementation of

approved activities

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources RequiredMajor Activities: Completion of 17 ongoing activities carried over from 2009 and commencement of 7 new activities in 2010, with a focus on scaling up water and sanitation services in fragile states, wa-ter for agriculture, enhancing PSP and the use of innovative financing mechanisms in water sector operations, and organization of second RWSSI conference.

Required Resources: Euro 9.8 million in additional funds for the implementation of the 2010-2012 WPP Medium-Term Strategy have to be mobilized from existing and new donor partners.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways Forward• Improving knowledge management: The WPP plays a key role in acting as a knowledge center

for AfDB water activities in support of the Bank’s role as a lead organization in the sector. The Pro-gram has put in place plans to increase its efforts to serve as an instrument for the Water Department to improve knowledge management on water issues. In particular, several important studies and guidelines that will add value to the Bank’s work will be widely disseminated within the Bank.

• Increasing visibility of the WPP: To effectively carry out its mandate, it is important that the WPP is well known and recognized both within the Bank and among its external stakeholders. In order to improve its visibility, the Program will give priority to implementing its newly developed commu-nications approach and widely disseminating outputs.

• Implementation of MDWPP Medium Term Strategy: A Medium Term Strategy is nearing com-pletion, which will provide strategic direction and enhance the effectiveness of the program over the next three to five years, in order to better address contemporary water challenges and Bank priori-ties for the water sector. However, inadequate staffing and funding constrains the effective imple-mentation of the Program.

Infrastructure Initiatives

NEPADInfrastructureProjectPreparationFacility


NEPAD Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility

Date of agreement: September 2004Current volume of the fund: US$ 45 million Financial contributors: Canada, Denmark, Norway, UK, Germany, and AfDB

Background and ObjecEvesThe NEPAD Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (NEPAD-IPFF) Special Fund aims to assist African countries, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), specialized agencies and related institu-tions by providing grant resources for: (i) preparing high quality and viable regional/continental infra-structure projects with a view to requesting financing from public and private sources; (ii) developing a consensus and partnership for project implementation; and (iii) promoting infrastructure projects and programs aimed at enhancing regional integration and trade. The IPPF directly contributes to the objectives of the MTS, Regional Integration Strategy which retained regional infrastructure as a stra-tegic priority sector. In addition, the regional focus of the NEPAD-IPPF makes it a key contributor to regional integration by interconnecting the infrastructure of countries and regions of Africa.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe NEPAD-IPPF supports regional infrastructure development projects in the following sectors: transport, energy, ICT, and water resources management. The activities eligible for financing under the Fund are: (i) prefeasibility studies; (ii) feasibility studies; (iii) project structuring; (iv) capacity building for infrastructure development; and (v) facilitation and creation of an enabling environment for regional infrastructure development.

Target BeneficiariesAll RMCs of the Bank Group, RECs and specialized regional/continental institutions for infrastruc-ture development are eligible for the NEPAD-IPPF Special Fund resources. The proposed activity must aim to support regional infrastructure development in the focus areas cited above.

Results and MilestonesThe Fund's overall performance has been strong in terms of number of projects approved, disburse-ments, implementation, resources mobilization, partnership, and visibility. To date, a total of 35 pro-jects have been approved for total commitments of US$ 23 million across regions. Disbursement has increased from 20% in 2007 to reach 45% of committed funds by the end of 2009, reflecting the im-plementation level on the ground. The preparation of 11 of the 35 projects have been completed and some of those are under physical implementation (an investment worth more than US$ 5 billion) as a result of NEPAD-IPPF support.

Key achievements include the: (i) Benin -Togo- Ghana Electricity Interconnection Project, (ii) Kenya-Uganda Oil Pipeline Project, (iii) Zambia-Tanzania-Kenya Power Interconnection Project, (iv) East African Submarine Cable (EASSy) Project, (v) OMVG Electricity Project, (vi) Ithezi-Thezi and Kar-iba North Bank (SAPP) securing financing through a PPP.

Due to this success, new donors have joined the Fund which now counts among its members Canada, Denmark, Norway, UK (DFID) and Germany in addition to AfDB. Total capital of the Fund has reached US$ 45 million. The challenge is now to increase the capital of the Fund to meet the growing needs for bankable projects.

AdministraEon and Governance Structure• The instrument establishing the NEPAD-IPPF sets the AfDB as a trustee to serve as legal owner and

holder in trust of the funds, assets and receipts constituting the fund’s resources and to manage and apply these according to the provisions of the instrument.

• The AfDB Board of Directors is assigned a decision-making role in the management of the Fund.



• The Oversight Committee (OC) of seven members was established. It is comprised of three repre-sentatives from the contributing donors (a member country of the Bank, or any country eligible to be a member country, as well as an organization acceptable to the Bank, may make contributions to the NEPAD-IPPF), two members representing the African Union and the NEPAD Secretariat, and two members representing the Bank. The OC provides general policy direction for NEPAD-IPPF activities. Its main function is to review the operational focus, the proposed areas of intervention and to ensure consistency with the Fund’s policy thrust. The OC also reviews the annual report of activities financed through the Fund to ensure consistency with the NEPAD mandate and regional integration.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources RequiredThe indicative rolling work program for 2010 is estimated at US$ 14 million. The current pipeline comprises 30 projects estimated at US$ 45 million in transport, energy, ICT, and transboundary water, capacity development and facilitation. However, current resources are insufficient to meet these needs. Additional resources of US$ 20 million would be required to meet the short term needs while US$ 40 million is required in the next 2-3 years.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardRegional Infrastructure projects preparation require huge resources. The balance of the NEPAD-IPPF is inadequate to meet existing demands. Thus, the key priority of the Fund is the mobilization of of additional resources from the donors that are interested in infrastructure development.

Multi‐DonorGovernanceTrustFundNew

Multidonor Governance Trust Fund (new)

Financial contributors: Norway: NOK 6,420,000 (approx. US$ 1 million), Switzerland: CHF 3,000,000 (approx. US$ 2.8 million)To be approved by the Board in March 2010.

Background and ObjecEvesThe AfDB has a long history of engagement in the field of governance through policy-based lending, institutional support projects, policy dialogue and economic and sector work. In recent years, this work has received increased support by donors, including the Nordic Trust Fund for Governance, which mobilized over US$5 million for about 40 governance activities between 2002 and 2007, tar-geting a variety of recipient organizations from regional networks of government officials to local civil society organizations.

Building on the experience of this and other related trust funds, the Multidonor Governance Trust Fund (MDGTF) will serve as an instrument to improve the Bank’s effectiveness in governance and as a complementary vehicle to implement the 2008-2012 Bank Governance Strategic Directions and Ac-tion Plan (GAP). It is aligned with the governance sector strategy in support to country governance reforms and the strengthening of country governance systems. It will complement existing Bank in-struments to improve operational effectiveness and quality at entry of Bank governance operations, including budget support, especially in fragile states.

The MDGTF’s ultimate development objective is to assist the Bank’s RMCs to build capable and re-sponsive states by strengthening transparency and accountability in the management of public re-sources through improved management of public finances and an enabling environment for the devel-opment of the private section. Specifically, the MDGTF aims to:• Become a catalyst for funding and a platform for knowledge, where diverse development partners

are encouraged to harmonize efforts to promote good economic and financial governance across the continent.

• Transform the way development assistance has traditionally been provided by stretching the frontier of knowledge and testing, as well as documenting, innovative approaches in the area of economic and financial governance.

• Serve as a vehicle to incorporate new development actors, and stimulate the search for innovative solutions to the problem of weak governance at both country and regional levels.

• Enhance and upgrade the Bank’s own capacity to deliver assistance and provide advice to RMCs in economic and financial governance through upstream analytical work, including governance as-sessments and fiduciary risk reviews, knowledge products (AGO), and complementary initiatives, as well as support to field offices to engage in country policy dialogue in governance, in particular in multi-donor-budget support groups (including support to the Bank chairmanship of those)

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsFunded activities shall focus on one or more of the areas below: • Support to enhanced knowledge and special initiatives to strengthen country governance systems

through improved capacity to analyze, measure and improve governance and reduce corruption, including enhanced accountability mechanisms and oversight institutions

• Support good financial management, including revenue governance and domestic taxation, public budgeting, public procurement, and debt management, government auditing and external oversight

• Support to investment climate and the business environment • Support to sector governance, particularly in high-risk areas such as infrastructure and extractive

industries, as well as participatory development and civil society engagement

Target BeneficiariesThe ultimate target beneficiaries are the citizens of Africa who would benefit from improved govern-ance in their country as a result of the fund’s initiatives.



The intermediate beneficiaries (i.e. the implementing agencies eligible for grants) are:• AfDB organizational units (Bank-executed): these include Bank’s sector departments, regional de-

partments and field offices• Public institutions and their collective representations (recipient-executed): local, provincial and

central government institutions; oversight bodies and accountability institutions; parliaments; insti-tutions that are the result of regional integration agreements (APRM); African networks of govern-ment officials and technical networks (e.g. CABRI, ATAF, AFROSAI); chapters of international African networks of government officials; and regional organizations

• Civil society organizations (recipient-executed): national and regional peer networks and communi-ties of practice, women’s associations, NGOs, media, policy think tanks, etc.

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed AcEviEes and OutcomesExpected launch: April 2010 Duration: 2010-2013

Within the priority areas outlined above, MDGTF-financed activities will fall under one or more of the following levels of interventions of the Bank’s Governance Strategic Directions and Action Plan: • At the country level, activities may include: country governance diagnostics and local knowledge

(PSIA, PEFA, PEMFAR, PER, PETS, FSAP); support to special initiatives in the area of economic governance and public financial management; capacity building projects; outreach, training, infor-mation and civil education programs; participatory and gender budgeting

• At the sector level, activities in this area may include: sector governance reviews including risk mapping, cost benchmarking, sector governance guidelines, stakeholder consultations, sector public expenditure tracking surveys and technical assistance to sector ministries; support to EITI and EI governance activities

• At the regional level, activities may include: cross-country governance diagnostics and benchmark-ing; best practice compendia; support to regional networks of senior budget officers, accountant-generals and auditor-generals; regional training and lesson-sharing events.

Through the calls for proposals and the development of specific operational guidelines, a more de-tailed set of activities will be defined. The proposed interventions will have to demonstrate the poten-tial to achieve concrete results.

Proposed AdministraEon and Governance StructureThe MDGTF will be governed by the interaction of two main bodies: (a) an oversight committee; and (b) a technical committee. Both bodies will be assisted by a pivotal role played by the trust fund coor-dinator (a Bank staff). The Technical Review Committee will be composed by relevant Bank staff. The technical committee will be responsible for approving all operations submitted for amounts under US$500 000. Oversight Committee (OC): composed by a Bank representative and representatives of the financing partners. The OC will be responsible for approving the operational guidelines of the Fund as well as verifying the conformity of the use of resources in accordance with the objectives of the Fund. The OC will approve operations with budgets between US$500 000 and US$ 1 million equivalent. Operations that cost more than US$ 1 million equivalent will be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. To ensure effective linkages with Bank operations, the management of the trust fund will be located in the relevant sector department.

Resources RequiredNorway and Switzerland have committed approx. US$ 3.8 million. The MDGTF aims to mobilize a total of US$ 30 million.

AfricanFertilizerFinancingMechanismCongoBasinForestFund

African Fertilizer Financing Mechanism

Date of agreement: December 4, 2007Current volume of the fund: AfDB Grant of UA 5 million, US$ 150,000.00 (IFAD partial payment of pledge)Financial contributors (pledges made): Nigeria; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; Rockefeller Foun-dation; IFAD (pledge received)

Background and ObjecEvesThe call for the establishment of the Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM) was one of the major declarations of the June 2006 African Fertilizer Summit in Abuja. At the end of the summit, African Heads of State and some eminent persons resolved that it was necessary to establish an AFFM for the purpose of enhancing agricultural productivity by promoting regional production of fertilizers and use.

The overall goal of the AFFM is to create an enabling environment for the investments needed in Af-rica to ensure that fertilizers reach farm gates timely, as required by farmers, and at affordable prices. The AfDB was given the mandate to establish and host the AFFM. On December 4, 2007, the Bank’s Board of Directors endorsed the legal instrument and the framework for the establishment of the AFFM. The AFFM Secretariat has been operational at the Bank with Bank support.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe AFFM’s aim is to support the African agricultural sector. Key areas of intervention and support are:.• Facilitation activities including policy formulation, technical assistance, information dissemination,

law reform, and project preparation.• Development of Africa’s fertilizer manufacturing capacity.• Provision of credit guarantees for fertilizer importers and distributors.• Support for the establishment of regional fertilizer procurement and distribution facilities.• Development of financing mechanisms in support of fertilizer production, distribution, and agricul-

ture generally.

Target BeneficiariesAfrican small- and large-scale farmers and the African fertilizer industrial sub-sector. Agricultural research institutions and the private sector involved in agro-inputs trade.

Results and MilestonesMain achievements to date are as follows: • Establishing the AFFM Secretariat in March 2007, with support from AfDB.• Initiating the establishment of the AFFM Governing Council (GC).• Organizing GC’s inaugural meeting in Tunis, November 2009.• Defining administrative arrangements, including implementation roles, budgeting and the opening

of the AFFM account.• Developing communication tools, including a brochure and a logo. • Preparing the following operational documents, which were endorsed by GC: AFFM operational

strategy, three-year indicative operational program (2009-2011), AFFM operational manual on rules of procedure.

• Developing a draft terms of reference for feasibility study on the EAC regional fertilizer production plant.

• Developing a proposal for establishing EAC regional fertilizer procurement facilities.• Developing a draft resource mobilization and advocacy plan.• Liaison with member states, the GC and the African Union Commission (AUC).


Agriculture and Natural Resources Initiative

AdministraEon and Governance Structure• The Bank’s Board of Directors is overseeing the general operations of the mechanism and approves

all financing. The Board also approves the mechanism’s annual budget and financial statements. • In order to ensure broad donor and stakeholder participation, the AFFM relies on its governing

council. The governing council is composed of representatives of donors and stakeholders, includ-ing representatives of African Ministers of Agriculture. It is responsible for determining the mecha-nism’s strategic direction.

• At the Bank, the day-to-day management of the activities of the AFFM is supervised by an Officer-in-Charge who reports to the Director of the Agriculture and Agro-Industry Department.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources Required• Assessing policy and enforcement barriers, formulating policy options and facilitating RMCs’ trans-

boundary policy harmonization (US$ 15.5 million).• Agricultural research, soil testing and mapping, and extension products, services and facilities (US$

145 million).• Agricultural information and technology transfer (US$ 129.5 million).• Assessing blending and manufacturing enterprises and providing advisory services to RMCs (US$

1.5 million).• Technical feasibility studies (US$ 10 million).• Investments in blending and manufacturing projects (US$ 257.5 million).• Credit guarantee and activities (US$ 381.8 million).• Development of regional fertilizer procurement facilities (US$ 103 million).• Operational management and support, coordination, linkages and strategic initiatives (US$ 26.2

million).

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardWhile field activities are yet to start, much has been achieved in terms of preparation of documents, as well as mobilization of support for the mechanism through consultation with stakeholders. The mechanism enjoys strong support from the African political leadership. However, to become fully effective the Mechanism has yet to receive contributions from African governments and donors of a consolidated amount of US$ 10 million, as required in the legal document establishing the Fund.

Congo Basin Forest Fund

Date of establishment: September 30, 2008 Initial volume of fund commitments: GBP 50 million and NOK 500 million Volume of the fund committed to projects: Euro 15 million Financial contributors: UK and Norway

Background and ObjecEvesIn February 2008, the AfDB, in partnership with the Central Africa Forests Commission (COMIFAC) and the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), held an international conference in Tunis on Funding for Sustainable Management of the Congo Basin Forests Ecosystems. Participants agreed to reinforce their coordination and dialogue efforts through the Congo Basin For-est Partnership (CBFP) and to support COMIFAC and its sub-regional partner institutions by estab-lishing the Congo Basin Forest Fund (CBFF) to mobilize resources to finance activities and projects aimed at promoting the equitable and sustainable use, conservation and management of the Congo Basin forests and ecosystems for poverty alleviation, sustainable social-economic development, re-gional cooperation and environmental conservation.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe areas of intervention for CBFF grant funding will mainly be those that slow the rate of deforesta-tion, reduce poverty amongst forest dwellers, and contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emis-sions while maximizing the storage of carbon. Within the context of its objectives, the CBFF has iden-tified a number of key thematic areas, namely:• Forest management and sustainable practice• Livelihoods and economic development• Monitoring, assessment and verification• Benefits from carbon markets and payment for ecosystem services • Capacity building in REDD; in monitoring, assessment and verification; and in sustainable forest

management

Target BeneficiariesAround 80 million inhabitants of the Congo Basin, and in particular vulnerable groups (women, In-digenous Peoples’ groups) are the main beneficiaries of the fund. The CBFF will also benefit eligible institutions, including RMCs of the Bank, their central and local government institutions or agencies thereof, as well as regional agencies or institutions concerned with Congo Basin forest conservation and management issues. Eligibility is also extended to non-governmental organizations at the country or regional level; civil society organizations; community-based organizations; research and training institutions; regional, sub-regional and sectoral organizations; and private sector institutions.

Results and Milestones• The legal instrument and framework document was endorsed by the Board of Governors on Sep-

tember 30, 2008.• The operational procedures manual was endorsed by the Board of Governors in October 2009.• The CBFF Governing Council is meeting three times per year to oversee the fund operations.• Awareness raising side event organized during UNFCCC Conference in Copenhagen in December

2009.• The first request for proposals was issued in June 2008; 188 concepts were received. Upon review,

94 were invited to submit a detailed project proposal and 15 proposals have been considered for funding, for a total amount of about Euro 15 million.

• The second request for proposals was launched in December 2009. More than 80 concept notes are expected to be received by CBFF.

• Sensitization seminars and capacity building activities were organized in four countries of the Congo Basin Forest and more than 100 participants from various NGOs attended.

• Six CBFF staff members have been recruited and resumed work as of December 2009.



AdministraEon and Governance StructureCBFF consists of a governing council, which provides strategic direction and oversight of the Fund, and ensure broad donor and stakeholder participation and a secretariat headed by a coordinator, to manage the Fund. A reference Group will act as a forum for consultations around the operation of the CBFF. The governing council is co-chaired by the Rt. Hon. Paul Martin (former Canadian Prime Min-ister) and Prof. Wangari Maathai (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate). Other members include the President of COMIFAC, the Secretary-General of the Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC), a civil society representative and a donor representative and a senior AfDB official (VP). The Secretariat is based at AfDB Headquarters, with technical staff located at AfDB regional offices in Yaoundé and Kinshasa.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources Required• Issuance of grant agreements to successful first request for proposals.• Processing of proposals received following the second request for proposals. • CBFF to assist national governments to submit proposals.• CBFF to provide support to Congo Basin countries to inform and influence future UNFCCC discus-

sions and negotiations on REDD+.• Completion of the procurement process to identity a fund management agent to manage small civil

society projects on behalf of CBFF.• Successful fundraising efforts leading to additional funding for the period 2011 and onwards. Addi-

tional funding will be needed to help COMIFAC member countries, prepare, experiment and im-plement their individual national REDD + plans.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardThe CBFF is an innovative funding mechanism for the Congo Basin and the AFDB. The interest and commitment by all partners has contributed to a relatively fast start-up of the CBFF following its launch in June 2008. A challenge has been to set up the Fund systems while also managing the first call for proposals. The secretariat established at the end of 2009 prepared the second call for proposals as it handled the results from the first request of proposals. The adoption of competitive grant cycles and proposed use of a Fund Management Agent to manage small civil society projects on behalf of the Bank offers potential wider benefits and lessons learned for the Bank.

Climate for Development in Africa Programme Special Fund (new)

Date of agreement: December 2, 2009Current volume of the fund: US$ 136 million for 2009-2012Financial contributors: UK (DfID), Denmark, Norway and Sweden (to be confirmed)

Background and ObjecEvesThe Climate for Development in African Programme (ClimDev-Africa) is a joint initiative of the African Union Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the AfDB. The ClimDev-Africa programme has been under development since April 2006. The programme responds to the urgent challenge that climate change poses to the achievement of Africa’s development objectives. It seeks to overcome the lack of necessary information, analysis, and options required by policy and decision makers at all levels.

In supporting the implementation of the program, the Bank has recently taken two main initiatives, the first one is the approval of a project support to four climate regional centers in Africa which are ACMAD, ICPAC and DMC, the second initiative is the establishment of the ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF).

The objective of the Fund is to contribute to an overall sustainable development and poverty reduction in Africa. The Fund will implement programs that strengthen national and subregional institutional capacities to overcome the lack of necessary climate information, analysis and options required by policy and decision makers at all levels within the context of threats of climate change.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe ClimDev-Africa Programme Special Fund (CDSF) will support operations in the following three main areas: • Generation and wide dissemination of reliable and high quality information on climatic situation in

Africa.• Capacity enhancement of policy makers and policy support institutions to integrate information on

climate change into development programs.• Implementation of pilot adaptation practices that demonstrate the value of mainstreaming climate

information into development.

Target BeneficiariesRMCs and national and regional climate institutions in Africa.

Results and MilestonesThe Fund is not yet operational

AdministraEon and Governance StructureClimDev-Africa Programme CDSF will be administered and governed, according to Bank’s proce-dures, in partnership with the African Union and the UNECA. Even though, the Fund is approved by the Board of Directors, it is subject to the ratification of the Board of Governors, upon which a Gov-erning Council shall be created to provide technical oversight of the CDSF. The CDSF will be con-tinually replenished to support long-term adaptation to climate change.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐11 / AddiEonal Resources RequiredFormulated to be implemented in two phases, the first phase has an indicative budget of about US$ 136 million for 2009-2012 while activities for the second phase until 2020 are estimated to cost about US$ 800 million. CDSF will involve the mobilisation and sensitisation of development partners and donors, as well as Regional Members Countries. DFID has already pledged £10 million to support



ClimDev-Africa Fund. Other AfDB bilateral donor countries, including Denmark, Norway and Swe-den, have also expressed interest in financially assisting the CDSF.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardThe CDSF will benefit from the experience of existing funds within the Bank, such as Some of the Africa Water Facility (AWF), the NEPAD Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility, the Special Fund for the Reconstruction and Development of the Great Lakes Region, the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Initiative (RWSSI) and the Congo Basin Forests Fund (CBFF) which also contribute to sustainable growth in Africa.

The CDSF constitutes an important opportunity to accelerate investments on climate resilience in Af-rica, and to develop the capacity of our Regional Member Countries on mainstreaming climate infor-mation in decision-making processes.

Knowledge Management Trust Fund (new)

Background and ObjecEvesThe proposed Knowledge Management Trust Fund (KMTF) arises from the need to finance key com-ponents of the Bank’s Knowledge Management and Development Strategy (KMDS) 2008-2012, to promote synergy among operations complexes and the Chief Economist complex on knowledge-related activities.

The overall objective of KMTF is to mobilize, pool, and leverage intellectual and financial resources for strengthening knowledge management and research capacity of the Bank and for expanding its research program through collaboration with research institutions in the RMCs and to facilitate a wider dissemination and utilization of knowledge products. The KMTF will finance the KMDS activi-ties beyond those covered by the administrative budget, including activities under the KMDS’s Stra-tegic Pillar 2 on leveraging knowledge through partnerships, such as collaborative research with shared costs, visiting scholar programs, and wider leveraging on knowledge generated elsewhere for use at the Bank and in RMCs.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe KMTF resources will support the AfDB’s involvement in:• The 4 strategic pillars focusing on the 3 thematic areas in the KMDS. • Results measurement and statistical capacity building.• Internal capacity building and networking.• External capacity building and networking.• Knowledge dissemination and exchange

Regional Integration Trust Fund (new)

Background and ObjecEvesThe Regional Integration Trust Fund (RITF) is based on the need to leverage resources to implement the priorities set out in the Bank Group Regional Integration Strategy adopted in March 2009. Re-gional Integration is one of the pillars of the Bank Group Medium-Term Strategy 2008-2012.

Even though additional resources are expected to be pledged within the framework of ADF-12, and given that the focus of NEPAD-Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (IPPF) is on infrastructure development, the proposed Facility, which will mobilize resources for the AfDB from bilateral and multilateral sources specifically for regional integration activities, will make it possible to fast-track the preparation and implementation of the softer side of regional integration operations. There is a consensus that funding for this aspect of the Bank’s work needs to be stepped up to promote regional initiatives which are increasing in volume as a result of the intensification of the Bank’s focus on re-gional integration operations.

Learning from best practices elsewhere (e.g. Asian Development Bank’s Regional Cooperation and Integration Facility), the Fund will support technical assistance, grant components of investment pro-jects, and other regional integration activities. It will ensure strong governance frameworks for re-gional institutions, i.e. independence, accountability and transparency as well as adequate capacities at regional institutions, enhanced coordination and increased availability of knowledge products which facilitate decision-making. In addition, the fund will provide support to the harmonization of regula-tions and policies at regional level, integration of trade in national development and elimination of Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs).

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThis Facility will focus on the two pillars, regional infrastructure and institutional capacity-building. as well as on cross-cutting issues, Aid for Trade, Regional Financial Integration, Regional Public Goods, gender, and climate change. It will be used primarily to finance upstream project preparation, studies and validation workshops. Its key focus will be on the following areas:• Regional integration agenda• Regional financial integration and macroeconomic convergence• Trade• Trade facilitation• Capacity-building• Partnerships• Generation of knowledge products

Target BeneficiariesRegional integration operators are numerous and their requirements are considerable which will re-quire selectivity with respect to the beneficiaries and operations to be financed under this Fund. In this initial phase of the Facility, the focus will be on the AfDB traditional regional integration partners such as: • AUC / NEPAD (NEPAD Planning and Coordination Agency - NPCA)• Regional Economic Communities (RECs)• Specialized regional organizations and institutions• Power pools• River Basin Organizations (RBOs)• Regional Member Countries (RMCs)

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed OutcomesIn view of the resource requirements and considering that the number of projects and programs to be implemented under the RITF are ready, the funds could be utilized as of the second half of 2010.



The NEPAD, Regional Integration and Trade Department (ONRI)’s focus is currently on knowledge generation and policy formulation in a revitalized regional integration framework. Activities will in-clude: • Studies and consultancies• High level meetings/workshops/consultations to build consensus and political support• Upstream preparation of projects/programs for the Bank’s lending program• Capacity-building for the RECs and RMCs• Developing Aid for Trade directories • Development of regional and continental depositories• Joint development of regional trade policies • Trade facilitation trainings and development of hard and soft facilitation tools• Support efforts to mitigate against non-tariff barriers.

These activities will seek to:• Produce the Assessment of Regional Integration in Africa – ARIA and other flagship publications to

increase knowledge for decision-makers.• Establish the Joint Secretariat Support Office (JSSO) for enhanced coordination between the AfDB,

AUC, and UNECA.• Produce regional integration indicators to facilitate monitoring and evaluation of integration

achievements.• Update the African Action Plan (updating project pipeline and data) and ensure the continued exis-

tence of a pipeline of bankable projects capable of attracting donor funding.• Strengthen the regional and continental financial integration including financial sector regulation

and supervision (to promote strong risk management and good governance of financial institutions, implementations of international standards and codes, etc.), financial system infrastructure (regional payment and securities settlement systems, regional bond and securities markets, regional informa-tion infrastructure, etc.).

• Enhance coordination with AUC, UNECA, RECs and other regional organizations/institutions with respect to regional integration issues .

• Remove NTBs to facilitate trade.

Proposed AdministraEon and Governance StructureThe RITF Management Committee will be comprised of management and staff from ONRI, the AU, UNECA, and representatives of donors to ensure that projects and programs reflect continental priori-ties and are evenly distributed throughout the continent. It will meet at least once a year. It will be chaired by the Director of the NEPAD, Regional Integration and Trade department (ONRI) and a do-nor representative.

Resources RequiredAn estimated US$ 3 million per year is required for the development of knowledge products. Valida-tion workshops, high-level meetings for consensus-building/ownership, capacity-building and coordi-nation activities at the continental level will require an estimated US$ 1 million per annum. The fund-ing of joint ADB-AUC-UNECA programs, as well as, other trade facilitating activities will require an estimated US$ 2 million per year. Management of the RITF will involve no staff costs as its operation will be entrusted to the Bank’s NEPAD, Regional Integration and Trade department (ONRI).

SouthSouth Cooperation Trust Fund (new)

Background and ObjecEvesOver the years, experiences in the international development community have shown that sharing de-velopment knowledge and expertise is crucial to finding relevant, effective and efficient solutions to common development challenges. Developing countries have accumulated effective development knowledge and experiences, and an increasing number of developing countries have demonstrated strong achievements in various domains, which are of great use to support other countries’ develop-ment efforts. There remains enormous potential and urgency in further exploring and harnessing the opportunities for South-South cooperation, especially in Africa. Among the current impediments to greater South-South cooperation are limited institutional capacity, lack of financial resources and a disconnection between supply and demand.

Enhancing regional cooperation in Africa is one of the AfDB’s key strategic priorities under the Me-dium Term Strategy for 2008-2012, as is developing intra- and inter-regional cooperation among mid-dle income countries (MICs) and least developed countries (LDCs). At the MICs conference co-organized by the AfDB and the World Bank in March 2008 in Cairo, African MICs have requested that the AfDB take a more proactive role in promoting partnerships and knowledge-sharing opportuni-ties within the region and with other regions, such as Asia and Latin America.

The objective of the South-South Cooperation Trust Fund is to support African countries in mobiliz-ing and taking advantage of development solutions and technical expertise available in the South. The Fund will also seek to promote South-South partnerships and knowledge sharing among MICs and between MICs and LDCs in Africa.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐Sectors• South-South cooperation, including Intra-Africa, Africa-Asia and Africa-Latin America • Regional integration • Development knowledge sharing• Institutional capacity building in the SouthThe fund will focus on key development sectors as specified in the Bank’s Medium Term Strategy, including infrastructure; private sector development; governance; higher education; science and tech-nology; agriculture; water; and environment.

Target BeneficiariesRegional member countries of the AfDB

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed OutcomesThe fund will be launched by the Q3 of 2010.

The fund will be used to finance South-South cooperation initiatives and activities to benefit the Bank’s RMCs. The fund will be utilized to facilitate South-South knowledge sharing, learning from best practices, know-how and approaches developed, applied and proven useful by countries in the South. These activities can range from facilitating relatively small-scale knowledge exchange projects within the South (e.g. South-South cooperation database and publications, technical exchange pro-grams, field trips, South-South knowledge sharing seminars, etc.) to supporting the identification and elaboration of South-South cooperation opportunities and the implementation of more extensive co-operation programs, involving two or more countries of the South, aimed at addressing key develop-ment issues.

Proposed AdministraEon and Governance StructureAfDB’s Partnerships and Cooperation Unit will be responsible for managing the fund. The unit will issue a call for proposals for annual programming. An inter-departmental technical review committee , chaired by the head of the unit, will assess the technical and financial viability of all proposals. An



oversight committee, consisting of representatives of contributing donors, partners and the AfDB, will ensure the strategic orientation and overall policy governing the use of the fund through its annual meetings. Proposals requiring a budget of US$ 500,000 or less will be approved by the technical re-view committee. Annual financial and progress reports will be submitted to the oversight committee.

Resources RequiredUS$ 6 million in 2010.

The Bank seeks financial contributions by traditional and emerging donors, as well as by MICs in Af-rica.

Fragile States Facility

Date of agreement: March 2008 Current volume of the fund: UA 647.80 millionVolume of the fund disbursed: UA 346.35 millionFinancial contributors: ADF-11 Allocation (UA 408.43 million), Post Conflict Country Facility (PCCF) Carry-Over (UA 165.64 million), and UA 13.72 million net income on PCCF funds

Background and ObjecEvesThe three-pillared Fragile States Facility (FSF) was established as an operationally autonomous spe-cial purpose entity within the Bank. The objective of the FSF is to provide eligible fragile states with: i) supplemental grant resources to support their recovery efforts; ii) clear arrears of some eligible countries; and iii) provide technical assistance; support service delivery through non-sovereigns, in-cluding private sector companies; and enhance knowledge building and management.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe Fragile States Facility is structured into three pillars and resources for each pillar are carefully segregated. • Pillar I provides supplementary support for funding recovery operations, infrastructure develop-

ment, building state capacity and accountability, and financing regional projects.• Pillar II provides arrears clearance for eligible countries.• Pillar III provides targeted support resources through the secondment mode of capacity building,

interventions through non-sovereigns (e.g., NGOs, UN agencies), and knowledge building (e.g. economic and sector work).

Target BeneficiariesThe FSF is designed to assist fragile states, in their efforts to consolidate peace, stabilize their econo-mies, and lay the foundation for sustainable poverty reduction and long-term economic growth. The Bank has identified 17 states that fall into the fragile states criteria. Nine are considered “core” fragile states while 8 are considered “moderated” fragile states.• Core fragile states: Burundi, Central African Republic, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo,

Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Togo.• Moderated fragile states: Chad, Congo, Djibouti, Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe, Somalia, Su-

dan, Zimbabwe.

Results and MilestonesThe FSF has proven effective in providing integrated financing, institutional capacity building, and policy supports for eligible fragile states. Through the FSF, a rapid response mechanism, the Fragile States Unit (OSFU) has (i) channeled additional financial resources to nine fragile states, (ii) cleared the arrears of Togo and Côte d’ Ivoire; (iii) and provided targeted technical assistance and institutional capacity building operations to some fifteen fragile or conflict-affected countries .

In 2009, the resource envelope of the FSF amounted to UA 647.80 million, from UA 511.4 million in 2008. At end December 2009, UA 544.74 million or 84.1% of the total Facility resources had been committed or disbursed to support operations. For example, FSF is financing an infrastructure project (port) in Sierra Leone (UA 26.026 million), poverty reduction programs in Liberia (UA 9 million), economic governance reforms in Burundi (UA 12 million), a community development project in CAR (UA 8 million)), and health a project in Guinea Bissau (UA 6 million).

OSFU cleared arrears, under FSF Pillar II, for Togo and Côte d’Ivoire. The total costs of the two op-erations amounted to UA 255.58 million.



AdministraEon and Governance StructureUnder Pillar I, fragile states are considered to be “en route” to stability and economic recovery. At this stage, the unit coordinates, with sectoral and regional programming departments the generation of a combination of capacity building and socio-economic infrastructure rehabilitation and construction that straddles political recovery, economic recovery, social recovery and security.

Under Pillar II, the unit liaises closely with the Bank’s finance complex and other partners to initiate and monitor the arrears clearance processes in the relevant countries. Together with partners, the unit initiates policy dialogue and develops road maps for arrears clearance.

Under Pillar III, the unit focuses targeted support to all countries moving from fragility and to those already recovering from conflict or crisis.

Major AcEviEes in 2010‐2011 / AddiEonal Resources RequiredIn 2010, the OSFU will undertake an assessment of the performance of beneficiary countries. Based on the assessment, a country report will determine: i) the FSF-beneficiaries that are potentially eligi-ble for graduation from the Bank’s list of fragile and conflict-affected regional member states; and ii) countries that meet the criteria for second cycle of support under ADF 12 cycle, 2011-13. The exercise will be expanded to include an assessment of potential new entrants into the FSF.

In 2010, the OSFU will finalize four major economic and sector works (ESW). The studies include: i) operational strategies to improve service delivery in fragile and conflict affected countries, ii) youth unemployment and conflicts in Africa, iii) Strategies for mobilizing African Diaspora to support the recovery and development process in fragile and conflict-affected countries, and (iv) the drivers of conflicts and fragility in Africa. These ESW are expected to support the design and implementations of additional and innovative programs and projects in fragile states.

Experiences, Challenges, and Ways ForwardMoving forward, the OSFU faced at least four serious challenges: • The lack of resources for countries under AFD 11 cycle that are potentially eligible for support from

the FSF, but not included for Pillars I and II. The issue will be discussed with the Deputies during the ADF 12 replenishment negotiations in 2010.

• The OSFU has prepared an operational guidelines paper for the approval process for its pillar III operations. The paper is scheduled for presentation to CODE in February 2010.

• The weak implementation capacity in beneficiary countries tends to slowdown the utilization of Pillar III resources. The OSFU is working closely with the beneficiaries to ensure that the resources are committed in carefully selected operations and will yield the expected development outcomes and results.

To improve performance it is proposed to have 3 supervisions per project in fragile states with no field presence.

Africa Commission’s Sustainable Energy Initiative Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (new)

Date of agreement: Pending (est. July 2010)Current volume of the fund: DKK 60 million (approx US$ 12 million) expected on establishmentVolume of funds committed: DKK 300 million (approx US$ 58 million) indicative commitment for five yearsFinancial contributors: Government of Denmark

Background and ObjecEvesThe Sustainable Energy Initiative / Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (tentatively named) (SEI/SEFA) aims to support the implementation of the AfDB’s Private Sector Development (PSD) Strategy by providing untied grants and equity support. It is aimed at exploiting the potential of the emerging “clean energy” market in Africa as a source of growth and innovation for SMEs as producers, dis-tributors, suppliers, and consumers of climate-friendly energy. In the greater context of the Africa Commission, this initiative and associated fund are seen as a means to achieve higher employment and induce competitive job creation throughout Africa.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsThe thematic area covered by SEI/SEFA is the promotion of clean, low-carbon energy production and use. This includes the following sub-themes: • Enhancing the SME value chain for the provision of energy efficiency products and services• Increasing investment in energy production, especially in agro-industry• Increasing rural electrification access to productive clean electricity• Create employment and improve the quality of life in rural remote areas/ communities• Providing technical assistance and preparation costs (feasibility studies) to bring sustainable/

renewable energy projects to bankability

Target Beneficiaries• Rural and peri-urban communities currently with inconsistent or no access to energy• Sustainable energy production projects and PPPs that are currently unbankable• African sustainable energy/energy efficiency SMEs and entrepreneurs

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed OutcomesFinancing Objectives• US$ 300 million leveraged (through external investments) in sustainable energy

Development Objectives• Measurable increase in direct and indirect employment because of SEI/SEFA-funded projects and

programs.• Increased access to secure, sustainable, and productive energy in rural and per-urban African com-

munities.• Commercially sustainable SMEs develop and market sustainable energy/energy efficiency products

and services to households and businesses.• Increased productivity in SMEs through energy efficiency and lower costs of production and higher

Higher Education, Science and Technology Trust Fund (new)

Background and ObjecEvesThe goal of the ASTIF is to contribute to the economic and social advancement of the regional mem-ber countries by providing scientific research and innovation products which can enhance national capacities to meet the technological, industrial, health and agricultural development challenges facing them.

The Bank’s strategy for Higher Education, Science and Technology (HEST) provides justification for it to be among the leading promoters of science, technology, and innovation in the continent’s higher education and research institutions, research networks and centers of excellence. It is premised on the fact that a robust science and technology base is a prerequisite for sustained economic growth and that higher education, scientific research, and technological innovation are required to tackle many social , human, and economic development challenges.

Areas of Focus / Sub‐SectorsWithin the framework of HEST , the following key areas have been identified: • Biotechnology for its potential to impact on the health and agricultural sectors and to alleviate pov-

erty• Engineering, particularly manufacturing, to help add value to African natural resources and raw ma-

terials and contribute to economic growth.

Proposed activities are:• Promoting research and innovation activities • Targeting support for African universities and other institutions of higher education to enhance their

work in in science, technology and engineering education • Promoting regional as well as south-south and north-south cooperation in science and technology • Supporting centers of excellence through increased funding of priority programs in science, tech-

nology, and innovation; • Creating a regional Science and Technology Research Catalogue of major research findings of po-

tential interest to industry

Target BeneficiariesPractitioners in health, science and technology at higher education institutions and centers of excel-lence, science and innovation networks on the continent, policy makers and government institutions, productive agricultural and industrial sectors

IndicaEve Timeframe and Proposed OutcomesIt is proposed that the Fund operates for an initial period of 7 years.

The Fund will seek to facilitate the following:• Stimulate and support research, innovation and development activities of African scientific commu-

nities and networks which have a direct bearing on human and economic development • Facilitate the strengthening of the scientific research and innovation work being carried out at se-

lected regional African centers of excellence• Provide support to university science faculties in the conduct, publication and dissemination of spe-

cific applied research projects.

Proposed AdministraEon and Governance Structure

Proposed structure:• It would be administered and managed by the relevant Bank department



• It would not require the physical hosting of any partnering organization;• Possibility of ring-fencing some constituent funds, if required by donors or organizations • It would include core funding that would be available for funding research and innovation proposals

submitted by relevant higher education institutions. The contribution of the Bank would be primar-ily meant for such purposes

• It is expected that the existence of the fund at the Bank, its objectives and expected outcomes would encourage bi-laterals, private sector organizations and development partners to make funding con-tributions

• The management of the fund would allow for existing networks (like ANDI and AAVP) to also continue to use their administrative mechanisms for channeling funding to participating institutions.

AddiEonal Resources RequiredThe Bank’s initial contribution to the fund would be UA 30 million.

Multi-donor Thematic Fund Resources

PART II BILATERAL TRUST FUNDS

In 2009, the Partnerships and Cooperation Unit implemented a rationalization plan of bilateral Trust Funds, whereby three options have been offered to tied Donors, namely: 1) untying the remaining bal-ance; 2) allocating the unused balance to untied Thematic Funds; and 3) returning the tied balance to Donors.

At the beginning of 2009, 12 out of 21 Bilateral Funds were completely or partially tied. While en-couraging the pooling of resources under Thematic Funds, the number of Bilateral Trust Funds will be reduced from 21 to 15, with only three tied Funds remaining this year. Since January 2007, all new resources mobilized for Bilateral Trust Funds, including the replenishment, are fully untied, as re-quired by the Trust Funds Reform Program. In August 2009, SAP-based Trust Funds Management System was launched to enhance the internal efficiency.

65 proposals were newly approved in 2009, totaling UA 12.185 million. As compared with 2007, the annual commitment of Bilateral Trust Funds has increased by 57% in volume. The trend in new ap-provals is shown in the Figure below, which demonstrates the considerable growth in the utilization of Bilateral Trust Funds over the past three years. Improvement in results reporting of Trust Funds op-erations remains a challenge.

PART III COFINANCING ACTIVITIESIntroducEonAfDB has currently nine co-financing agreements signed with partners to jointly finance priority sec-tors such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture and human resources development. The main objective of co-financing is to pool investment resources and development expertise, enhance synergies, reduce transaction costs and share risks for the financing of large scale projects.

Since 2007, the AfDB co-financing projects represents about 50% of the total yearly approval by the Board. Co-financing is a significant means of mobilizing additional resources for the development of the African continent and collaborating with partners who share the same vision of poverty reduction.

Background informaEon Starting with a single project in 1967 in Kenya, AfDB participation in co-financing operations has increased substantially over the years. Between 2000 and 2008, the Bank attracted at least US$ 3.51 billion a year from external partners.

Co-financing activities are carried out in cooperation with bilateral partners, multilateral partners and increasingly with private partners.

Since 2007, the Bank has given increased priority to building innovative partnerships, particularly with emerging donors and the private sector to help the Bank maximize the development impact and reach the Millenium Development Goals.

ObjecEve of co‐financing resource mobilizaEonThe main objective for the Bank in co-financing is to provide donors with a cost-effective way of scaling up their assistance and mitigate investment risks for the public and private sectors. Through co-financing, the Bank aims to:• Fill a financing gap for a specific project or program• Coordinate the financing for RMCs’ development programs• Facilitate for the borrowing countries the access to international capital markets • Collaborate with donors that wish to link their own aid program with the Bank’s capacity to support

the identification, appraisal and the implementation of projects• Catalyze private sector financing

Co‐financing in the last three yearsThe graph below shows a rapid increase in co-financing over the years. There was a particularly strong increase in 2009. The preferred sectors were energy (41.03%); multisectoral (28.48%); transport (10%); industry, mining and quarrying (8.67%); social development (6.23%); water supply and sanitation (2.58%); agriculture and rural development (1.73%); communication (0.94%); envi-ronment (0.22%); and finance (0.12%).


Co-Financing Activities

Sources: ORRU (DARMS)

From 2008 to 2009, partners’ co-financing with AfDB projects increased sharply, the total amount mobilized in 2009 is higher than sum of contributions from 2007 to 2008, representing 141% increase compared to 2008. The total amount mobilized remains high since the Bank is increasingly investing in larger projects and cross-border contributing to the regional integration.



ExisEng co‐financing agreements• AfDB and Austria (OEKB) signed a co-financing agreement in October 2005.• AfDB and Austria (OeEB) signed a co-financing agreement in June 2006.• AfDB and Germany signed the first intention of memorandum of understanding in June 2007 in

environment, water and sanitation, good governance. • AfDB and Eximbank India signed a memorandum of understanding on co-financing in 1999 to

finance private sector. • AfDB and Korea signed a memorandum of understanding in October 2008 to finance public sector. • AfDB and Libya signed a memorandum of understanding in June 2008 to share information on co-

financed transactions. • AfDB and Japan signed a guideline for the implementation of the Accelerated Co-financing Facil-

ity for Africa (ACFA) in January 2006 for private sector development. • AfDB and Nordic Development Fund (NDF) signed a co-financing agreement in December 1995. • AfDB (African Financing Partnership) and 7 Development financing institutions (DFIs) signed an

agreement in January 2010 to promote co-financing of private sector investment. • China Eximbank and the Bank signed a MOU in May 2008 to cofinance Guarantee or Loan in

public sector and possibly private sector.• China Development Bank (CDB) signed a MOU in September 2008 to implement parallel financ-

ing on sectors mutually agreed.

PART IV TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND SECONDMENTS

In 2008-2009, AfDB has benefited from the rapidly in-creasing interest from partners to provide technical ex-perts and secondees, mainly to support the institutional capacity building of the Bank.

In particular, a number of donors are providing experts and secondees in governance, water, climate change, infrastructure, private sector development, among oth-ers. At present, 16 secondees and 8 technical assistants are posted in various organizational units of the Bank. Institutional arrangements for 24 new technical assis-tants and secondees are being finalized with various partners.

The Bank is finalizing its new policy governing donor-funded technical assistants and secondees to ensure its alignment with the ongoing human resources reform and the Bank’s Medium-Term Strategy.

The current status regarding this matter is summarized in this section.

PART V – INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

The AfDB’s Medium-Term Strategy (2008-2012) places high demands on partnerships building stat-ing that: “The Bank will build more effective partnerships based on clearer and more specific agree-ments to deliver well-articulate results.” Through the creation of strategic partnerships, the AfDB car-ries out activities in key areas of the Bank’s work.

The AfDB has partnered with a wide range of development actors in both public and private sectors to ensure greater coordination and complementarities to better respond to the needs of its Regional Member Countries (RMCs). The Bank has signed 67 agreements with various institutions, including bilateral agencies, multilateral banks, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), universities and pri-vate institutions. The emergence of new donors and the renewed interest of traditional partners are also reflected in the partnership choices of the AfDB.

The Partnerships and Cooperation Unit has conducted a progress review of all the institutional part-nerships agreements in 2009. The Final Report will be released in the second quarter of 2010.
