## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF  THE LOK  SABHA  STARRED  QUESTION  NO.  260  REGARDING  'INDIAAFRICA SUMMIT' FOR ANSWER ON 11.05.2016

Under  the  IAFS,  India  has  so  far  offered  Lines  of  Credit  worth  US$  7.512 billion. Out of this US$ 2.916 billion have been approved and allocated. This includes a  total  of  120  projects  in  39  countries.  A  total  of  US$  1.996  billion  has  been disbursed. 23 projects have been completed successfully. A list showing the amount of aid/assistance given to each African country since IAFS-I is enclosed at Annexure.

The Government of India had also announced grant worth US$ 500 million, US$  700  million  and  US$  600  million  during  IAFS-I,  IAFS-II  and  IAFS-III respectively for setting-up of various training centres and providing various training to Africans. Projects undertaken  utilising the grants are at various stages of implementation.

The  extension  of  IDEA  Scheme  for  African  countries  is  an  important component of India's diplomatic strategy and has been useful in generating goodwill and building long term partnerships. The positive image developed by  India assists the Indian industry in projecting itself as viable and technologically sound partners of developing countries. The IDEA Scheme also helps to boost Indian exports of goods and services to hitherto untapped markets and successfully showcase India's expertise in project planning and implementation in diverse sectors.

Several changes have been made in the operational guidelines such as making a  Detailed  Project  Report  or  Feasibility  Study essential for project  proposals, strengthening  of  monitoring  system,  pre-qualification  of  competent  companies  and requirement  of  regular  reports  by  the  borrowing  governments.  In  addition,  regular monitoring is also being carried out by borrowing Governments, Project Management Consultants  (PMCs),  implementing  agency  and  Indian  Missions  abroad  to  ensure projects  are  executed  in  a  timely  manner.  The  commitments  made  under  IAFS-III have been duly communicated to the respective implementing Ministries/organisations  for  ensuring  timely  implementation  of  various  projects  and programmes.

The  revised  IDEA  Scheme  and  revised  guidelines  on  economic  assistance include provisions to provide better terms of credit, which will be attractive to many developing  countries,  who  are  now  seeking  alternative  means  of  finance.  These changes are expected to improve the implementation of projects undertaken through these Lines of Credit under the revised IDEA Scheme, thereby helping to achieve the India's objectives.
