Economic Development Project for the Southern Regions (PADES) PADES�general objective is to alleviate poverty in the rural communitites of
Tombali, Quinara and Bolama-Bijagos by enhancing rice production and facilitating
the participation of young adults and women in the processing and marketing of crop
and livestock production. Upon completion, PADES is expected to boost agricultural
production thereby improving food security and increasing income in the
aforementioned regions.
Support to the Development of Agricultural Production Areas (PDZP/PNDL) The objective is to contribute to increased productivity in agricultural production zones through improving accessibility and the development of production infrastructure and value chains.
The Project will (i) rehabilitate or build some infrastructure (feeder roads, multipurpose platforms, storage facilities, markets, irrigated areas, etc.); (ii) develop agricultural value chains with high employment potential; (iii) improve access to basic socioeconomic services; and (iv) build the capacity of local stakeholders (local authorities, regional development agencies, central and decentralized technical services).
Heightening of the Roseires Dam Rehabilitation Project a) The main objective of the project is heightening the dam by 10 m in order to increase the normal water level in the reservoir from the level 482 m to 492 m above sea level. The project aims at improving the water management of the Blue Nile River through increasing the storage capacity of the Roseires Dam by about 4.4 billion m3. Further, this project will generate an estimated additional 566 GWH of hydro-electrical power. It will also improve the socio economic conditions of the farmers in the project area and will contribute to the development of the agriculture sector in Sudan. And will allow the creation of new job opportunities.

b) The project consists of the following components: Civil works, Electrical and Hydro mechanical Works, Consultancy services, Expropriation and Resettlement, and Project Management Unit (PMU).

c) The total cost of the proposed project, inclusive of physical and price contingencies and exclusive of taxes and import duties, is estimated at US$ 476.51 million. The cost estimates are based on current prices, obtained from offers for similar works and from ongoing works, projected over the planned implementation period. The Physical and Price contingencies have been conservatively estimated at around 1.5% of the base cost. The estimate is considered realistic due to the fact that the final cost estimate of the project was updated in January 2008 and the engineering cost estimates were comprehensive. In addition, the initial stages of the project started already, and major purchases of equipment are expected to be in the first year of implementation, which minimizes the expected variation in prices.
Multipurpose Poverty Reduction Project Although agriculture plays a key role in Vietnam's economy, rural poverty is high, due in part to a irregular water supplies. This situation is especially prevalent in the Ninh Hai district, situated in the Ninh Thuan Province. The project will carry out the following works:

- construction of some 55-km of irrigation canals; 
-  relocation of about 370 householdsto a new community equipped with social amenities; 
- provision of agricultural extension services; 
- upgrading and repair of the irrigation network.  

The project will benefit numerous farming communities who will be able to enjoy increased food production and higher incomes, as well a safe supply of drinking water.
Rehabilitation & Construction of Nouakchott-Akjoujt Road Project The project aims at the rehabilitation of Nouakchott - Akjoujt Road (km 0 - km 254.0) starting from the capital Nouakchott in the direction North East until it reaches the city of Akjoujt (see the map in the attached Annex 1).

In some places total reconstruction would be needed, in others partial reconstruction would suffice and, as minimum treatment for most  of the road's length, scarifying and recompaction to a depth of 
100 mm would be necessary.
B) Supervision
A consulting firm for the supervision and control of construction and rehabilitation works would be employed.
C) Equipment for Road Maintenance
Some machines and spare parts will be acquired for the future maintenance of the road.

Acoyapa-Costa Rican Border Road Integration Project Project Description
The project seeks to complement investments currently being undertaken in Nicaragua's Road infrastructure through the construction of a road artery in the south-central region of the country. The road would drastically improve the integration of the area between Acopaya and the Costa Rican border, mainly through the paving of the current gravel road and the upgrading of bridges along the corridor. 
The upgraded roadway will be supplemented by the construction of the 230-meter Santa Fe Bridge (currently non-existent) over the San Juan River near the border with Costa Rica, which is to be financed by the Government of Japan through JBIC. The Santa Fe Bridge, which will require an investment estimated at US$ 5.4 million, is to replace the private ferry service now available only to users authorized by the current service provider. The proposed project will also be complemented by a rehabilitation project for 87.3 kms of feeder roads , to be financed by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), which will further enhance the proposed project's positive economic impacts
Singrobo-Yamoussoukro Road Project ( Additional Loan ) The Singrobo-Yamoussoukro road, which constitutes part of the 650 km-long Abidjan-Ouangolo route, is a key north-south link and the sole transport corridor to landlocked Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. The road can no longer handle increasing traffic loads and has worn to a point where some sections are made impassable during the rainy season. The project will therefore entail: 1) construction of a new 86 km-long highway between the southern districts of Taabo and Toumodi; 2) construction of bridges; 3) installation of drainage structures and culverts to prevent flooding; and 4) carrying out of erosion protection measures. The new highway will have the potential for future expansion, and will provide the population with efficient, cost-effective and reliable transportation.
