EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Overview
This project is the third phase of the North-South Corridor (Mugina-Bujumbura-Ruhwa-
Rusizi-Ntendezi-Rubavu/Goma) development works, covering 458 km (244 km in Burundi
and 214 km in Rwanda) and linking Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic
Republic of Congo (DRC). The total project cost, net of taxes and duties and including
physical contingencies and price escalation, stands at UA 81.79 million. The Bank's
contribution is estimated at UA 72.55 million. Specifically, the project works planned include
the construction and asphalting of 45 km of roads in Burundi (Lake Nyanza-Mabanda
Mugina) and a 47.9 km road in Rwanda (Rubavu-Gisiza). The project also includes ancillary
works for: (i) the construction of feeder roads, river quays and school fences; and (ii) the
rehabilitation of markets and health centres, and the installation of traffic lights on the road
section crossing Bujumbura City. It also comprises measures to facilitate transport, road
safety, studies, as well as a management support component.
The project’s sector objective is to contribute to economic growth of Burundi and Rwanda by
developing transport infrastructure, with a view to strengthening competitiveness and
sustaining the growth of their economies.
Needs Assessment
In Rwanda and Burundi, the Rubavu-Gisiza and Lake Nyanza-Mabanda-Mugina road
sections are the last missing links to be developed; they form an integral part of the Mugina-
Bujumbura-Ruhwa-Rusizi-Ntendezi-Rubavu/Goma multinational road connection which
plays an important role in the development and diversification of national and international
trade flows in the sub-region. The Tanzanian section of this corridor – a 65 km stretch linking
Mugina and Kigoma (a Port city in Tanzania) - is fully paved and in good condition, while
the Congolese part is being constructed with European Union funding. This corridor is among
the priority roads selected for the Economic Community of Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL)
and forms part of the transport strategy of the East African Community (EAC).
Bank’s Value Added
This new operation is a continuation of the following previous Bank funding for the corridor,
approved by the ADF Board of Directors: (i) a UA 13.5 million loan and a UA 1.5 million
grant approved in October 2003 to Rwanda for the rehabilitation of the Bugarama-Rusizi and
Bugarama-Ruhwa links (the World Bank funded a 30-km stretch of the Burundian section of
the corridor); and (ii ) a loan and a grant totalling UA 100 million provided in 2008 for the
second phase of the Burundi-Rwanda Multinational Road Project. This new operation will
enable the Bank to consolidate the gains of the previous phases of the project with a view to
achieving the set objectives of strategies pursued by the countries concerned as well as those
contained in the Bank's regional strategy.
Knowledge Building
The project will provide an opportunity for improving knowledge in regional infrastructure
priorities in line with Bank Group’s Regional Integration Strategy Paper (RISP 2011-2015).
It comprises studies aimed at defining: (i) specific and appropriate additional transport
facilitation measures that will take into account the physical specificities at the border
between the two countries; and (ii) steps to be taken to reduce transport cost along the
corridor.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF BANK GROUP MANAGEMENT
CONCERNING A PROPOSAL TO AWARD A GRANT TO BURUNDI AND TO
EXTEND A LOAN AND AWARD A GRANT TO RWANDA
Management hereby presents the following report and recommendation concerning a
proposal to award a UA 27.5 million ADF grant to the Republic of Burundi, and to award a
UA 4.525 million grant and extend a UA 40.525 million loan to the Republic of Rwanda.
1. STRATEGIC THRUST AND RATIONALE
1.1 Project Linkages with National Strategies and Objectives
1.1.1 Burundi and Rwanda are landlocked countries with high transport costs, particularly
on major road corridors used for trade. It is to reduce the cost of trade that both countries
have gradually undertaken development works on these major corridors. This project, which
focuses mainly on the development of the missing links along the North-South Corridor (45
km in Burundi and 47.9 km in Rwanda), is part of the national policies of both countries as
set out in: (i) Rwanda’s "Vision 2020" and Economic Development and Poverty Reduction
Strategy; and (ii) Burundi’s "Vision 2025" and 2012-2015 Second Growth and Poverty
Reduction Strategy Paper (GPRSP II).
1.1.2 The North-South Corridor is also among the priority projects adopted within the
Economic Community of Great Lakes Countries (CEPGL) and in the transport strategy of the
East African Community (EAC), currently at the approval phase. The development of
regional integration transport infrastructure is a priority for the EAC, which has made
laudable efforts to set up a common market. The Bank's intervention on this corridor is in line
with the strategies outlined in the 2012-2016 Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) for Burundi
and Rwanda, and is channelled through the infrastructure development pillars contained
therein.
1.2 Rationale for Bank’s Involvement
1.2.1 The Bank has a comparative advantage in financing regional integration
infrastructure in Africa, compared with other financial and technical partners. Thus, it was
designated by NEPAD to lead the implementation of its transport infrastructure programme.
1.2.2 The current Bank involvement is a continuation of its previous funding of this
corridor: (i) a UA 13.5 million loan and a UA 1.5 million grant approved in October 2003 for
Rwanda for the rehabilitation of 50 km of roads (the World Bank concurrently financed a 30-
km stretch of the corridor in Burundi); (ii) a loan and grant totalling UA 100 million were
extended in 2008 to Rwanda and Burundi under of the Burundi-Rwanda Multinational Road
Project Phase II, for the construction of 101 km of roads (the 51 km Nyamitanga-Ruhwa road
in Burundi and the 50 km Cyangugu-Ntendezi-Mwityazo road in Rwanda) and the Single
Border Post (PCUF) at Ruhwa.
1.2.3 It is also consistent with the Bank’s 2011-2015 Regional Integration Strategy Paper
(RISP) for East Africa. The RISP aims to tackle one of the main challenges facing East
African integration, namely the poor regional transport infrastructure network that restricts
economic growth and trade expansion. The project is also consistent with: (i) the key thrusts
of the Bank’s Medium-Term Strategy (MTS 2008-2012), particularly with regard to
2
improving sea-access conditions for landlocked countries; and (ii) the Programme for
Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA).
1.3 Aid Coordination
1.3.1 In addition to the Bank, several other donors are involved in the transport sector in
both countries. These include the World Bank, the European Union, Arab Funds, JICA and
the China Exim Bank. As for USAID, it is primarily involved in financing rural roads in
Rwanda.
1.3.2 During project identification, preparation and appraisal missions, the Bank held
discussions with most of the development partners. Generally, as part of aid coordination, the
Bank and various development partners maintain sustained dialogue with the two
governments. In Burundi, meetings are held within the Partners’ Coordination Group (PCG).
In Rwanda, aid is coordinated through the Development Partners' Coordination Group
(GCPD). The two groups are broken down into sub-thematic groups responsible for sector-
based technical issues. The sub-thematic groups meet regularly.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Project Components
1.3.3 The project’s sector goal is to contribute to economic growth in Burundi and
Rwanda by developing transport infrastructure to enhance the competitiveness of their
economies. The specific objectives are: (i) reduce the general cost of transport on the North-
South corridor; (ii) reduce the border crossing time; and (iii) improve the living conditions of
the population within the project impact area (PIA) by facilitating access to basic services and
socio-economic infrastructure.

2.2 Technical Solutions Adopted and Alternatives Explored
2.2.1 In Rwanda, the development solution proposed involves building a 10 metre-wide
platform, comprising a 7 metre-wide floor and two shoulders of 1.5 m each. In built-up areas,
the shoulders will be 2 m wide. Typically, structure of the pavement will include: (i) a sub-
base course of selected natural materials, with an average thickness of 20 cm; (ii) a 20 cm-
thick base course of unsorted sand-gravel aggregate; and (iii) a 5 cm-thick surface course of
bituminous concrete. The shoulders will be double-coated.
2.2.2 In Burundi, the layout of the Mabanda-Mugina road section will comprise a platform
necessary for the reconstruction of a 7 metre-wide pavement and two shoulders of 1.5 metres
each. Typically, the structure of the pavement will include: (i) a sub-base course, 24 cm thick
on average, of lateritic gravel; (ii) an 18 cm-thick base course of crushed unsorted gravel
4
aggregate; and (iii) a 5 cm-thick surface course of bitumen-sand-gravel aggregate. The
shoulders will have two-layer surface coating. As for the Lake Nyanza-Mabanda section, the
solution is to scarify the existing pavement to transform it into a sub-base layer. A 15 cm-
thick course of crushed unsorted gravel will be built. The 5 cm-thick surface course will be of
bituminous concrete.
2.2.3 The proposed alternative technical solutions and the reasons for their rejection are
presented in Table 2.2 below:
Table 2.2
Proposed Alternative Solutions and Reasons for their Rejection
Alternative solution Brief description Reason for the rejection
Burundi:
- Construction of the Mugina-
Mabanda road section
involving the double-layer
coating of the pavement;
- Strengthening of the
Mabanda-Lake Nyanza road
section.
- - Sub-base course of laterite gravel
(20 cm); base course of cement-
enhanced laterite (cement floor),
with a double-coated wearing
course;
- Carry out only periodic
maintenance by replacing the
current degraded coating with a
double coating.
- Base course: difficult to
implement, non-
compliance with regional
standards (bituminous
concrete) for corridors;
- Due to the degradation of
the existing pavement, the
current base course cannot
be maintained.
Rwanda:
- Construction of the Rubavu-
Gisiza road section with a
double course.
- Sub-base course of lateritic gravel
and a base course of soil-cement
mixture, with a double-coated
surfacing.
Same reasons as stated above.
2.3 Project Type
The project is a standalone multinational operation that will be financed by a loan and two
grants from the ADF, through the lending facilities of the Bank's windows for performance-
based country allocations (PBA) and allocations for regional operations (RO).
2.4 Project Cost and Financing Arrangements
2.4.1 The total cost1 amounts to UA 81.79 million (USD 126.86 million). ADF
contribution stands at UA 72.55 million, corresponding to 89% of the total project cost. The
governments of Burundi and Rwanda will pour UA 3.07 million and UA 6.16 million into the
project, representing 10% and 12% of component costs in each country, respectively.
1 This estimate is based on detailed design studies, international standards and average unit costs of similar services and works
performed recently in both countries.

2.5 Project Area and Beneficiaries
2.5.1 In Burundi, the project impact area (PIA) covers the communes of Mabanda and
Lake Nyanza, within Makamba Province. In 2011, this Province had an estimated population
of 483 100, or almost 5.3% of Burundi's total population. The population of Mabanda
commune is estimated at 64,247, of whom 33,017 or 51.4% are women, while that of the
Lake Nyanza commune is estimated at 112,752, including 56,638 women, i.e. 50.23%. In
Rwanda, the PIA consists of two districts (Rubavu and Rutsiro) in Western Province. This
7
Province has a population of two million, or 24% of the total population. The population of
the project impact area was estimated in 2010 at 706,000.
2.5.2 Both in Burundi and Rwanda, the economy of the project impact area (PIA) is
essentially based on subsistence agriculture and cash crops, mainly tea and coffee. Generally,
farms do not exceed one hectare and their management remains largely traditional. The lack
of farm-to-market transport infrastructure is one of the reasons for the high poverty rate
within the PIA. Completion of this project will have a definite impact on improving the living
conditions of the population of the area, including through job creation, income generation,
opening up of production areas, etc. These socio-economic impacts generated by the road
will be magnified by the ancillary works and the awareness-raising campaigns.
2.6 Participatory Approach for Project Identification, Design and Implementation
2.6.1 Various stakeholders (NGOs, local communities, associations, cooperatives, national
and local administrative and political authorities) were extensively consulted during the
project identification, preparation and appraisal missions in both Rwanda and Burundi. The
participatory sessions made it possible to have a better grasp of the complaints of the
inhabitants of the project impact area and to agree on the ancillary works to be financed as
part of the project.
2.6.2 In both countries, participatory consultation sessions were held with beneficiaries
during the ODA studies and the appraisal. About 1,000 persons were met, 45% of them
women. Plenary sessions were held with local communities and those affected by the
expropriations carried out as part of the project. In Burundi, the sessions held with persons
whose properties were likely to be expropriated offered an opportunity to take account of
other properties not listed in the consultant's study, particularly banana plantations. Thus, the
number of persons affected increased from 20 to 51. Studies on the Lake Nyanza-Mabanda
section did not mark any properties for expropriation.
2.7 Experience of the Bank Group, Lessons Learned from the Project Design
2.7.1 The project design took into account the Bank's experience in implementing
multinational infrastructure projects. The main difficulties facing the project relate to the
plethora of stakeholders and the inadequate involvement of regional economic communities.
This project drew from the gains of the institutional arrangements of the previous two
multinational projects, namely: (i) the establishment of implementation units that included
focal points in charge of project components other than works, such as transport facilitation;
(ii) the establishment of a sub-regional technical steering committee (CTP) under the aegis of
the CEPGL; and (iii) the drawing up of a bilateral agreement governing PCUF operation. The
project also factored in efforts made by the countries in mobilizing the counterpart financing,
particularly with regard to the procedure for funding Burundi's special account.
2.7.2 Furthermore, the staff of executing agencies have already received training in
management and project monitoring, while each country has been offered technical assistance
(road expert and transport economist). This has contributed to building capacity in both
countries. The consolidation of these two projects will improve the transport performance and
transport facilitation in Rwanda and Burundi, and ensure greater integration of Burundi and
Rwanda in the EAC.
8
2.8 Key Performance Indicators
2.8.1 The key performance indicators and expected outcomes upon project completion are
indicated in the results-based logical framework. They are: (i) the GDP growth rate; (ii) the
value of trade within the EAC; (iii) the general cost of transport; (iv) the border-crossing
time; (v) the increase in annual average daily traffic; (vi) the rural accessibility index; (vii)
the number of temporary jobs created; and (vii) the quantity of fruits produced locally. The
baseline for these indicators will be validated early in the project. An appraisal will be
conducted mid-term and at project completion by a consultant, in collaboration with the
RTDA in Rwanda and the Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of Burundi
(ISTEEBU).
2.8.2 In addition to these impact indicators, outcomes and outputs, it is also necessary to
consider the Bank’s institutional performance indicators linked to the project implementation.
These are mainly: (i) the implementation timeframe and fulfilment of conditions precedent to
first disbursement of funds; (ii) procurement delays; (iii) the average project progress
indicator (PI); and (iv) the trend of the disbursement rate in relation to the expenditure
schedule. These indicators will be monitored during supervision missions and in the daily
management of the project
3. PROJECT FEASIBILITY
3.1. Economic Performance
3.1.1. The economic analysis was made using the HDM-4 model, based on the cost-benefit
analysis between situations “without” and “with” the project over a 20-year-period starting
from the commissioning of the road. A discount rate of 12% and a residual value of 25% are
taken into account. The costs considered are: (i) investment costs2; (ii) maintenance costs of
road sections and vehicle operating costs. The benefits are related to the general reduction of
transport cost (time savings and vehicle operating costs) and gains in the road maintenance
cost throughout the corridor. The cost of ancillary works and the agricultural value added
were considered in the model as costs and exogenous benefits. The normal average traffic
volume recorded in 2011 was approximately 300 vehicles per day on the Burundian section
of the corridor and 142 vehicles per day on the Rwandan section. The volume of heavy
vehicles on the project road is 33% on average on Burundi’s section of the road and 52% on
Rwanda’s section.
3.1.2. The assessment of the investment cost (2011 prices) of building the road sections in
bituminous concrete shows a 19.2% economic internal rate of return (EIRR) for the entire
project. A sensitivity analysis based on a simultaneous increase in investment costs by 10%
and a 10% decrease in benefits (worst case scenario) shows a 16.3% EIRR for the entire
project. It is clear from the foregoing that the development level adopted for the project road
is economically justified.

3.2. Environmental and Social Impact
Environment
3.2.1. The project was classified under Category 1, given the nature of the works and the
combined number of persons affected. Environmental compliance certificates were issued in
July 2011 and February 2012 for the Rwandan and Burundian sections, respectively. The
summary of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and the Resettlement
and Compensation Plan were posted on the Bank's website on 8 February 2012, in
accordance with Bank rules and procedures.
3.2.2. The project’s main potential negative environmental impacts will be limited,
reversible and controllable through the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures.
The main positive and negative environmental impacts that the project could generate as well
as the proposed mitigation/improvement measures are described in Technical Annex E. The
estimated cost of ESMP measures stands at BIF 68,000,000 million and FRW 415,400,000
for Burundi and Rwanda, respectively.
Climate Change
3.2.3. Key Issues: Analysis of historical climate data shows that the effects of climate
change are already apparent in Burundi and Rwanda. They are related to the increase in mean
annual temperature and especially rainfall, which increases the risk of flooding and damage
of infrastructure, farmland, etc.
3.2.4. Adaptation measures: Adaptation options included in the project are: (i) appropriate
sizing of hydraulic structures, taking into account the rainfall and peak flow return periods;
(ii) weatherproofing of the road, especially in the valleys and plateaux; and (iii) planting of
trees and building of protective structures (retaining walls, riprap brickwork, gabions, etc.) in
slope areas.
3.2.5. Mitigation measures: Although there is no baseline data on greenhouse gas
emissions in the project area, a slight increase in the emission of gases is expected, compared
with the situation without the project, due mainly to increased traffic. Mitigation measures
under this project include: (i) the fluidity of traffic and speed control that may reduce CO2
emissions by 15% along this road; (ii) the planting of alignment trees over a distance of 150
m on either side of the road at the entrance and exit of each village crossed, which will help
to sequester some of the carbon emitted as a result of the road; and (iii) the raising of
environmental protection awareness, including by addressing topics related to water and soil
conservation techniques (WSC), deforestation control, etc.
Gender
3.2.6. In both countries, women are the key players in the agricultural sector, accounting
for 52.3%, compared to 38.8% for men. In the two districts covered by the project impact
area (PIA) in Rwanda, women make up about 53% of the total population. They occupy two-
thirds of informal sector jobs, account for roughly 90% of the area's staple food production
and are particularly active in food production activities and livestock, post-harvest operations,
handicraft and marketing. The PIA has several women's self-help groups. The advent of this
project may lead to time savings and a reduction in transport costs, thereby improving
women's access to various basic services. The monitoring and evaluation mechanism that will
10
be put in place under this project will allow for a more accurate assessment of the benefits
that women may derive from the project in terms of improved living conditions. During the
assessment of the impact on beneficiaries, these women will have an opportunity to indicate
their perception of the impacts of the project and the level to which it would have achieved its
objectives.
3.2.7. The road construction will have a positive impact on the situation of women in
Burundi and Rwanda, notably through: (i) the development of two health centres; and (ii) the
rehabilitation of two rural markets, mainly used by women. Moreover, women’s associations
in Burundi will receive support in the form of small agro-processing equipment such as
presses, grinders and mixers.
Social
3.2.8. In Burundi, about 30% of the population of the PIA is affected by poverty, which is
above the national average of 25%. In Rwanda, approximately 62% of the population in the
project area live below the poverty line, having as main sources of income agriculture,
livestock and fisheries. In both countries, the economy of the PIA is mainly based on
agriculture, followed by livestock and fisheries. Completion of this project will have a
definite impact in terms of improving the living conditions of residents of the project impact
area, especially by creating jobs through the labour-intensive approach to be used on 5
kilometres of feeder roads (pilot project), and also by generating income or opening up
production areas. These socio-economic impacts of the road will be magnified by the
execution of ancillary works and the conduct of awareness campaigns.
Road Safety
3.2.9. The road safety component consists essentially in conducting an audit during the
project execution. The audit involves validating the road safety aspects of the project design
prior to works start-up. This assessment will be based, among others factors, on identification
of accident-prone areas, using historical information available on the incidence of such
accidents. The audit will propose appropriate mitigation measures such as speed bumps and
speed restriction signs. The monitoring and control aspects of road safety will subsequently
be conducted during the works implementation phase. In parallel, road safety awareness
campaigns will be launched, with residents of the project area and road users as target.
Creating groups in villages to raise awareness among other villagers will be explored. An
audit will be conducted at the end of works to ascertain the proper implementation of project
measures. It is also advisable to document, in report form, the lessons derived from various
stages of implementation of the measures. These activities will complement the road safety
efforts of both governments detailed in Annex. It is worth noting that Rwanda is already
applying the SADC standards concerning horizontal and vertical signage.
Involuntary Resettlement
3.2.10. In Burundi, 51 persons, including 8 women (representing 13% of the project-
affected persons (PAPs)), are owners of restaurants, shops, residential buildings and banana
farms that will be affected during construction. The amount of compensation was estimated at
BIF 41,267,000 or approximately UA 0.02 million, payable by the Government of Burundi
prior to the start of works. A Summary Resettlement Plan (SRP) has been produced for this
road section, in accordance with Bank rules and procedures. Preparation and presentation of
the SRP as well as effective payment of compensation to PAPs are project conditions.
11
3.2.11. In Rwanda, 207 persons, including 62 women (representing 30% of the PAPs), are
owners of 136 residential buildings, 67 commercial buildings, two offices and a fence
(belonging to an agricultural cooperative) that the works will directly affect. Since a
household in the project area has an average of 5 to 10 members, the number of persons
affected by the 136 residential buildings stands at 1,042. Therefore, the total of number of
those who will be affected is estimated at 1,109 persons. The cost of compensation, flanking
measures and relocation is estimated at RWF 1,959,080,000, or about UA 2.41 million. This
amount will be paid by the Government of Rwanda, under the RAP provisions. A
comprehensive resettlement plan has been produced for this road section, in accordance with
Bank rules and procedures. Preparation and presentation of the SRP as well as effective
payment of compensation to PAPs are project conditions.
4. IMPLEMENTATION
4.1. Implementation Arrangements
4.1.1 Executing Agencies: In the two countries, the project components will be
implemented by their respective road authorities. In Rwanda, the executing agency will be
the Ministry of Infrastructure, through the “Rwanda Transport Development Agency”
(RTDA), and in Burundi, the same role will be played by the Ministry of Transport, Public
Works and Equipment through the Roads Authority (OdR). In Rwanda, the RTDA will
appoint a project coordinator (PC) to manage and coordinate all project activities. In Burundi,
the OdR will work with an existing team (the management unit set up under the Nyamitanga -
Ruhwa Project on the North-South Corridor) to ensure continuity and proper coordination of
activities on this corridor. The said unit will be backed up by a civil engineer and technical
assistance financed by the Bank under the NH5 (Nyamitanga-Ruhwa) and Gitega-Ngozi
Rehabilitation Projects Phases I & II. During execution, the project coordinators will use the
existing management systems in the areas of finance, procurement and the environment.
4.1.2 A performance contract will be signed between the Directors-General of the
executing agencies and task managers for an annual evaluation of their performance. For
better monitoring of the transport facilitation component, a focal point from the Ministries in
charge of Transport will be appointed. Before appointing the future project coordinators, their
CVs will be approved by the Bank.
4.1.3 Institutional Arrangements: As part of their services, control missions will train the
counterparts of the two governments and will provide them support (IT equipment, training in
developing price structures, archiving and using accounting software). Furthermore, the
entire project implementation will be coordinated by the Technical Steering Committee
(CTP) established under the previous project on the corridor (the project is on-going). The
CTP will coordinate the project activities related to the transport facilitation component. At
the end of the on-going project on the corridor, the operating costs of the CTP will be borne
by the counterpart funds.
Procurement
4.1.4 All goods, works and consulting services financed from Bank resources will be
procured according to Bank Rules and Procedures for the Procurement of Goods and Works
or Rules and Procedures for the Use of Consultancy Services (May 2008 edition), whichever
applies, using standard Bank competitive bidding documents. The OdR and RTDA will be
12
responsible for the procurement of goods, works and services (as appropriate) as described in
detail in Annex B.
Financial Management and Disbursement Arrangements
4.1.5 In Rwanda, financial and accounting management will be provided by the RTDA
unit in charge of Finance, which has the IT tools (management software) and needed capacity
for the analytical and accounting management of projects. In Burundi, financial and
accounting management will be the responsibility of the OdR. To strengthen the effectiveness
level of the OdR, provision has been made to: (i) support staff training and re-training
programmes; (ii) review the existing manual of administrative and financial procedures; (iii)
improve the performance of the accounting software; and (iv) identify and codify fixed assets
for better control. Details of the financial management of each executing agency are provided
in Annex B.
4.1.6 The direct disbursement method will be used for goods, works and consultancy
services financed from the ADF grants and loan. The authorities will forward to the Bank,
after verification and certification, invoices and statements from suppliers, contractors and
consultants for settlement. In Burundi, the Government has chosen to open a special account
bearing the project’s name at a local bank acceptable to the ADF to keep the counterpart
funds. This account will be funded annually, according to the annual schedule of expenditure.
Evidence of opening of the account and regular payment into it by the Donee is a project
condition.
4.2. Monitoring
4.2.1. Project implementation will be monitored at several levels. First, there is close
monitoring to be provided by the Bank’s offices in Rwanda and Burundi. Qualified
consultants will be hired to control and monitor the quality and progress of work on a daily
basis. The executing agencies are responsible for coordinating all project activities in each
country and will produce quarterly progress reports, including the implementation status of
ESMP measures.
4.2.2. Environmental and social impact monitoring will be conducted by the executing
agencies directly responsible for implementing the ESMP and RAP. The executing agencies
are expected to submit quarterly progress reports to the Bank, detailing the implementation
status of the ESMP measures. The consultant responsible for works supervision will ensure
full compliance with the mitigation measures contained in the ESMP and RAP. The RTDA
and OdR will also be responsible for monitoring the ESMP and RAP.
4.2.3. Financial management and auditing will be monitored through the accounting and
reporting procedures. The executing agencies provide for a mid-term review of the project as
well as the preparation of the project completion report by the end of the project.
4.2.4. The monitoring and evaluation (M & E) mechanism that will be operational from
project start to finish will monitor the project’s impacts in Burundi and Rwanda through the
logical framework indicators. This mechanism will: (i) specify the project indicators and set a
baseline for project impact monitoring requirements; (ii) collect and manage information on
the level of implementation of various project components through a relational database; and
(iii) conduct impact assessments at mid-term and at project completion, based on the same
method as that used to define the baseline situation.

4.3. Governance
4.3.1 In Burundi, strengthening governance and the fight against corruption remain major
challenges. The “Transparency International” indicator ranked the country 172nd
in 2011. In
addition, the Mo Ibrahim Governance Index shows that it maintained the overall score of
45/100 between 2009 and 2010, ranking 33rd
out of 53 African countries. Nevertheless, an
improvement of the situation is noted since the establishment of the Ombudsman Office in
late 2010 to fight corruption. Concerning economic governance, Burundi has made some
progress in improving its business climate with the adoption of the new Investment Code in
2008. The Code contains additional incentives for investors, particularly with regard to
warranty, freedom to transfer capital and dividends, and a streamlined approval process. In
addition, the country has agreed to accede to the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative
(COST)3. This project will help the country to put in place the first instruments required for
accession. A detailed note on COST is presented in the Technical Annexes.
4.3.2 Rwanda has adopted a firm position in principle on good governance, characterized
by zero-tolerance of corruption, aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in
managing public funds. Rwanda ranks 49th
out of 180 countries (Transparency International
2011) in terms of corruption, which is a significant improvement compared to 2009 (89th
out
of 180), and occupies a better position compared to its neighbours in the rankings and on the
basis of the Mo Ibrahim Governance Index in Africa. The Bank’s CPIA also shows an
improvement in overall rating from 3.25 in 2005 to 4.27 in 2009. At sector level, Rwanda has
a reputation as a country with a low incidence of corruption and a comparative regional
advantage in the regulatory system, judicial and institutional governance, and macroeconomic
stability. It is currently introducing a financial management system and decentralized
procurement, including the following: (i) establishment of a financial and accounting section;
(ii) establishment of a Public Procurement Board; and (iii) finalization of financial
management and procurement manuals.
3 COST is an international initiative supported by DFID and the World Bank to foster greater transparency and accountability in the
construction sector. In this regard, the initiative recommends the publication of information on the various stages of a project cycle,
such as the project content, its cost, the agencies and contractors involved, contract awards and any changes to the initially agreed terms.
Such transparency would help to boost efficiency and win the trust of domestic and foreign investors.
14
4.4. Sustainability
4.4.1 The project's sustainability hinges on the quality of works, the operating and
maintenance of infrastructure in place. It is in this light that extensive technical studies were
conducted for the project and the roads designed to comply with acceptable norms.
Furthermore, the trunk road and ancillary works will be procured through international
competitive bidding, thus guaranteeing the quality of the contractors selected. Regarding
infrastructure maintenance, the country has dedicated structures.
4.4.2 In Rwanda, the national road network is maintained by the Road Maintenance Fund
(FER) whose resources are derived mainly (70%) from road user charges4, at the rate of a
fixed amount of RWF 62.39 (USD 0.104) per litre, and toll revenue5 (about 30%). The Road
Fund is able to carry out routine maintenance on the classified network. For periodic
maintenance, given the accumulated deficit, the government continues to rely on financial
support from development partners. The resources allocated annually to the maintenance of
paved and earth roads of the national classified network increased from RWF 7 billion in
2007 to RWF 15.30 billion in 2011. Moreover, to combat the overloading of heavy vehicles,
there are plans to establish a system of penalties whose application is scheduled for end- 2014
following the installation of axle-load scales on the road network. The maintenance of feeder
roads and ancillary works will devolve upon village communities organized to that end.
4.4.3 In Burundi, road maintenance is financed by the National Road Fund (FRN), 80% of
whose resources are derived from the fuel tax. The routine road maintenance needs currently
estimated at BIF 15 billion per year will be increased to BIF 17 billion in 2014. Over the past
five years, road maintenance funds have increased from BIF 1.5 billion to 9.75 billion,
covering 65% of needs, and these efforts will be pursued by an increase in fuel tax from BIF
80/litre to BIF 120/litre from 2013. This will help to cover the recurrent maintenance needs.
Given the large proportion of heavy vehicles on the Corridor and to offset road degradation, a
programme to install axle-scales will be put in place with funding from the EU at the border
and Bujumbura Port, thus ensuring more effective control of the axle load both upstream (the
border) and downstream (the port). Regarding the organization of road maintenance,
technical assistance has been put in place as part of an on-going project to improve road
maintenance programming and management. OdR entrusts feeder road maintenance to the
Community Development Associations (ACD). Rural market maintenance is the
responsibility of the management committees of such markets. For their part, health centres,
will revert to the Ministry of Health once rehabilitation is completed. Yearly transmission to
the Bank of resources mobilized for road maintenance is a project condition.
4.4.4 At the institutional level, it is worth noting that there is a need for an efficient road
network management system. A Road Data Bank (BDR) charged with collecting, processing
and managing road data exists within the OdR, but is no longer functional since 2010 due to
lack of technical staff. The assignment of appropriate staff to BDR by mid-2013 is a
project condition.

4.5. Risk Management
4.5.1 The main risk likely to hinder the achievement of the project's impact is (i) political
instability in the East African region. The key risks identified in the results are: (ii)
discontinuation of the regional integration policy; (iii) insufficient resources of the road
funds; and (iv) non-operability of PCUF. Regarding outcomes, the main risk identified is: (v)
works cost overrun.
4.5.2 These risks are mitigated by the following measures and actions: (i) continuation of
efforts to pacify the region, under the auspices of the EAC to which both countries belong;
(ii) the commitment of Rwanda and Burundi to regional integration initiatives of the EAC
and the drafting of a protocol for a common market in the sub-region; (iii) Burundi’s
commitment to increase the fuel tax base from 2013; (iv) the appointment of a PCUF
manager and the extension of the application of the agreement signed by both countries for
the Nemba border post to this post; and (v) updating the project studies immediately prior to
project appraisal along with the launching of an international competitive bidding
procedure.
4.6. Knowledge Building
4.6.1 The project affords an opportunity to improve knowledge on priority regional
infrastructure in accordance with Bank Group’s RISP (2011-2015). The project includes
studies that will define: (i) additional specific and appropriate transport facilitation measures
that will take into account the physical specificities of the borders of both countries; and (ii)
the actions to be implemented to reduce transport cost on the corridor.
4.6.2 The project impact assessment conducted in each country by permanent structures is
designed especially to meet the need for knowledge building and ownership by national
authorities. Establishing the baseline before project start-up will provide a basis for
comparison to realistically assess the level of achievement of the project’s development
objectives. Comparison data will come from the results of the project impact assessment upon
completion of works.

Procurement
B.1.1: Procurement in Burundi
Procurement Methods
All goods, works and consultancy services financed from Bank resources shall be procured
according to Bank Rules and Procedures for the Procurement of Goods and Works or Rules
and Procedures for the Use of Consultants (May 2008 Edition), whichever applies, using the
Bank’s standard competitive bidding documents. The OdR will be responsible for the
procurement of goods/works/service contracts, consultancy services, and others (as
appropriate).
Works
The road works to rehabilitate 25 km of road between Lake Nyanza and Mabanda, estimated
at UA 13.74 million, the construction of a 20 km road between Mabanda and Mugina,
estimated at UA 13.19 million, and the supply and installation of traffic lights and road signs
throughout the crossing of Bujumbura city, estimated at UA 0.16 million, will be procured
according to international competitive bidding (ICB) procedures, in one indivisible lot.
The ancillary works, including: (i) the construction of 20 km of feeder roads; (ii) the building
of the Musenyi rural market; and (iii) the rehabilitation of the Musenyi health centre - a total
of UA 1.02 million, will be procured in a single lot, according to international competitive
bidding (ICB) procedures. It was agreed to construct 5 km of feeder roads using the labour-
intensive approach, due to the inaccessibility of the area by machines and the abundance of
local labour. The said works, estimated at UA 0.1 million, will be procured through local
shopping, due mainly to the low amount involved and the existence of firms capable of
performing this type of works.
Goods
The procurement of ICT equipment, as part of the transport facilitation activities at the PCUF
(section in Burundi only) for an estimated of UA 0.11 million, will be by local competitive
bidding (LCB). LCB was recommended in view of the low amount involved and the
existence of domestic firms capable of providing such facilities.
Consultancy services
The procurement of the following services: (i) inspection and monitoring of road works and
ancillary works, including training of counterparts, estimated at UA 1.48 million; (ii)
sensitization on STDs, other pandemics, environmental protection and road safety for an
estimated UA 0.16 million; (iii) Bujumbura City bypass study estimated at UA 0.22 million;
and (iv) transport facilitation study on the Burundian section of the corridor, estimated at UA
0.17 million, will be based on shortlists. The method used will be the quality and cost based
selection (QCBS) as defined in the Rules and Procedures for the Use of Consultants, May
2008 Edition.
Consultancy services for the financial audit of project accounts, estimated at UA 0.06 million,
will be based on a short list. The “least cost selection” (LCS) method will be used.
Procurement of individual consultancy services for: (i) technical audit (expert panel) of UA
Annex B1
Page 2/7
0.06 million, the road safety audit of UA 0.06 million and support to the Government as part
of Burundi's accession to the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (COST), totalling
UA 0.06 million and which will each take less than 6 months, will be in accordance with
Bank rules in this regard.
The contract for monitoring and evaluating the project’s socio-economic in Burundi,
estimated at UA 0.21 million, will be awarded by direct negotiation, to the Burundi Institute
of Statistics and Economic Studies (ISTEEBU). This structure is the only one in Burundi that
monitors the country’s statistical data. Its personnel are trained for that purpose. Entrusting
the monitoring and evaluation to this state structure enables the country to own project
achievements and keep the data permanently. The choice of ISTEEBU is also due to the
desire to build national capacity for monitoring and evaluating the socio-economic impact of
road projects in Burundi. A “memorandum of understanding” satisfactory to the Bank shall
be signed between the OdR and ISTEEBU.
Publication: (i) the ICB and the results shall be published in United Nations Development
Business (UNDB); (ii) for the provision of services estimated at UA 200,000 or above UA
200,000 for consulting firms, and UA 50,000 for individual consultants, an advertisement
shall be published in the United Nations Development Business, on the Bank’s website and in
national newspapers; (iii) for contracts estimated at less than UA 200,000 awarded to
consulting firms, and UA 50,000 awarded to individual consultants, the Borrower may limit
the publication of the notice for expression of interest to national and regional newspapers.
However, any eligible consultant, whether regional or not, wishing to provide the services
requested, may express their desire to be put on the shortlist.
General Procurement Notice (GPN)
The text of the General Procurement Notice will be agreed upon with the OdR and issued for
publication on the Bank’s website and in UNDB online, as well as in a widely-circulated
local newspaper, upon approval of the grant proposal by the Board of Directors.
Review Procedures
The following documents are subject to Bank review and approval before publication: (i)
General Procurement Notice; (ii) Specific Procurement Notices; (iii) Notices for Expression
of Interest; (iv) Bidding Documents or Requests for Proposals from Consultants; (v) Reports
on Evaluation of Consultants' Technical Proposals; (vi) Reports on Evaluation of Consultants'
Financial Proposals, including contract award recommendations, minutes of negotiations and
duly initialled draft contract; (vii) Bid Appraisal Reports (bids from contractors/suppliers),
including contract award recommendations (goods and works); and (viii) draft contracts
(works) if these have been amended and differ from the drafts included in the bidding
documents.
National Laws and Regulations
In recent years, the Government of the Republic of Burundi has undertaken, with the support
of technical and financial partners (TFP), a programme of reforms to improve the public
procurement system. This has led to the revamping of Legislative Decree No. 1/015 of
19/05/1990 on the organic provisions on public procurement and Decree No. 100/120,
18/08/1990 on general specifications.
Annex B1
Page 3/7
Against this backdrop, the Public Procurement Code [Law No. 1/01 of 04/02/2008 on public
procurement and public service delegations] was adopted on 4 February 2008 and
implemented with effect from 4 October 2008. The new system is generally open to
competition and accepted good practices in line with international standards and principles
that ensure the transparency of procedures.
Simultaneous with the adoption of the 2008 Code, the institutions in charge of regulation
(Public Contracts Regulatory Authority (ARMP) - Decree No. 100/119 of 7 July 2008) and
monitoring the performance of public contracts (National Directorate of Public Procurement
Control (DNCMP) - Decree No. 100/120 of 8 July 2008) were put in place and are
functioning. Such is also the case of public procurement management units (CGMP) - Decree
100/123 of 11/07/2008) that were set up within the contracting authorities (ministries).
The evaluation of the use of the 2008 legal and regulatory framework by COMESA
consultants (October 2011) with the stakeholders and operators concerned, highlighted
inconsistencies and weaknesses, as well as fiduciary differences requiring the initiation of
dialogue with the country party for amendment/revision and adaptation of that framework.
The inconsistencies identified relate, for instance, to the application of certain provisions on
the thresholds according to the technical competence and qualification of stakeholders,
sanctions policies, control mechanisms, equivalence aspects and the need for harmonization
with TFPs with respect to Article 4 of the Code regarding procurement from external
funding.
It is also worth noting that the Bank recently initiated an evaluation of Burundi’s national
procurement procedures with a view to using the country’s standard competitive bidding
documents. The results of this study, which are not yet available, will be used to establish a
general plan of action with respect to the fiduciary differences with the national system.
Pending the results of this study, the goods, works and services financed by the Bank under
this project will be procured in accordance with Bank rules and procedures, using the Bank’s
appropriate standard competitive bidding documents [the World Bank, UNDP and European
Union do not use the code either].
In light of the foregoing, it was agreed with the Burundian party to use the Bank Rules and
Procedures for the Procurement of Goods, Works and Services under this project.
Executing Agencies
The OdR will be responsible for the procurement of goods, works and consulting services.
OdR’s resources, capacity, expertise and experience were analysed and deemed adequate to
undertake the procurement activities required under the project.
OdR staff have the expertise and proven experience in implementing projects financed by the
Bank and other donors. It has satisfactorily carried out the monitoring and management of
similar operations financed by the Bank, notably: (i) the Gitega-Ngozi Road Project; (ii) the
Nyamitanga-Ruhwa-Ntendezi-Mwityazo Multinational Project; and (iii) the Kicukiro-
Kirundo Project. In addition, executing agency staff have already received training in project
management and monitoring as well as technical assistance financed by the Bank under the
Nyamitanga-Ruhwa-Ntendezi-Mwwityazo Project, thus contributing to capacity building.
However, to harmonize and improve the procurement management function, a procurement
specialist will be recruited (approved beforehand by the Bank).
Annex B1
Page 4/7
Procurement plan
The Bank will review the procurement measures taken by the Borrower under the
procurement plan to ensure compliance with the loan agreement and its procurement rules.
The original procurement plan will cover the project period. The Borrower will update the
plan every year or as and when necessary, but always every 18 months during the project
implementation period. Any proposal to revise the procurement plan will be submitted to the
Bank for approval.

National Laws and Regulations
The Government of Rwanda enacted the law on public procurement in 2007 and adopted the
regulations relating thereto in 2008. This Act applies to the procurement of goods, works and
consultancy or other services provided by entities using public funds. The law defines the
competitive bidding procedure as the default method for the procurement of goods, works
and services, and provides detailed procedures to be used in local and international
competitive bidding (the law also looks at other procurement methods).
Rwandan law on public procurement is based on standard documents to be used by entities
initiating bids for the procurement of goods and works, as well as calls for expression of
interest for consultancy services. Such standard documents form the basis of a sound public
procurement system, enabling the country to award good quality public contracts in a non-
discriminatory manner. However, some elements, such as provisions for incidental expenses,
spare parts and the prohibition to contact the buyer during bid appraisal do not feature in the
standard local competitive bidding documents for goods. Furthermore, the provisions relating
to the implementation schedule, the contract type, fraud and corruption, staff and work rules,
case of force majeure, the various options for the method of bid submission, the treatment of
confidential information, joint liability and qualification tables, are omitted in the standard
competitive bidding documents for minor works.
The internal control of the Rwandan procurement system is working satisfactorily. The 2007
law established procurement committees, units in charge of procurement as well as
independent panels at national and district level to deal with complaints and appeals from
bidders. In addition, the 2007 law on the procurement system provided for the establishment
and assignment of authority and responsibility to the RPPA6, which went operational
following the 2008 Act, with dual responsibility for a period of three years, to oversee
procurement activities and regulate them.
Since February 2011, the RPPA is no longer in charge of procurement activities. It now
devotes itself to regulation and supervision. It conducts periodic audits, in compliance with
the control and audit manual published in 2010. In addition, the Bank conducted a study in
2011 on ICB procedures in Rwanda and found them to be generally satisfactory. However, it
noted some discrepancies between those procedures and rules of the Bank in this regard.
In light of the foregoing, notably the discrepancies identified above, it was decided not to use
national procurement procedures under this project.
