Transport & Digital Development Nigeria Green Belt Corridors Development Program: The proposed Program Development Objective (PDO)of the Nigeria green belt corridors development program is to improve transport and trade connectivity and facilitate market inte- gration along Nigeria’s key economic corridors. This is a multi-sectoral complex and long-term undertaking that requires adopting a multiphase programmatic instru- ment/approach (MPA). The Government of Nigeria (GON) has requested financing for the improvement of critical road in- frastructure and logistics services along the economic corridors spread in the gateway states, south eastern region, north west- ern region and River Nile corridor. The request includes 23 road projects with a total length of about 2,400km. The investment requirement for the urban renewal is anticipated to be high. Private investment is required to operationalize the SEZs and establish commodity exchange centers. Therefore, the proposed program will be implemented in phases. This MPA will support an integrated approach to economic corridor development with a focus on: i) upgrading priority transport corridors at the national and sub-national levels; ii) improving logistics infrastructure and services; and iii) creating an enabling environment for private investment. Phase 1 will focus on improving priority transport corridors at the national and sub-national levels, whilst developing the interventions that will support the economic transformation by addressing key regulatory gaps along the economic corridors. July 2018 Africa PAGE 50 Phases 2 and 3 will expand the support for spatial transformation and regional economic integration through the development of economic development corridors and other complementary interventions with multi-sectoral interventions at national and sub-national levels.

Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa MDTF - Additional Financing: This is a request for an extension of and additional financing for the ongoing Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) (P1126840/TF071192). It is currently financed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), UK's Department for International Development (DfID); the European Commission (EC); and The Netherlands, and managed by the Agricul- ture, Rural Development and Irrigation unit (AFTA2). FARA has been operating on a 10-year Strategic Plan (2007-2016) de- veloped to add value to the support provided by the sub-regional organizations (SROs) to strengthen African National Agri- cultural Research Systems (NARS). The strategy was designed to be implemented in 2 five year phases with corresponding Medium Term Operational Plans (MTOPs) which detail implementation of the strategy. Due to delays in obtaining donor funding under the original MDTF, the Strategic Plan period was adjusted to cover the period 2009-2018. The FARA MDTF was established at the World Bank in 2009 to support the first phase of the strategic plan, MTOP I (2009-2013). It has been under implementation for the past three and a half years and implementation has been satisfactory. It is scheduled to close on December 31, 2013. Several of the MDTF participating donors are in favor of and have recommended a 5-year extension of the MDTF (in line with the Bank's revised guidelines on extension of closing dates, April 2013) to support a smooth transition to FARA's second MTOP (2014-2018). The associated proposed Additional Financing would support implementation of MTOP II. Initial confirmed funding to launch implementation has already been secured from one donor.

It is currently financed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), UK's Department for International Development (DfID); the Euro- pean Commission (EC); and United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and managed by the Agriculture, Rural Development and Irrigation unit (AFTAI). ASARECA, a sub-regional not-for-profit association has been operating based on a 10 year Strategic Plan (2008-2018) developed to support the sustainable competitiveness of Eastern and Central Africa agricultural research systems through support to prioritized areas of research for development. The strategy was designed to be implemented in 2 five year phases with corresponding Medium Term Operational Plans (MTOPs) which detail implemen- tation of the strategy. The ASARECA MDTF was established at the World Bank in 2008 to support the first phase of the stra- tegic plan, OPI (2008-2013). It has been under implementation for the past 4 and a half years and implementation has been satisfactory. It is scheduled to close on December 31, 2013. Donor support has been very strong for the OPI. Original donor pledges totaled $55 million. This target was not only met, but exceeded following an additional contribution of $5.6 million in the second half of 2012. Total contributions to date have passed $60 million. A number of the MDTF participating donors are in favor of and have recommended a 5 year extension of the MDTF to support a smooth transition to ASARECA' second MTOP (OPII) (2014-2018).

AFCC2/RI-Great Lakes Trade Facilitation - SOP2: The development objective is to enhance the capacity for commerce and improve processes and conditions for cross-border trade at targeted border locations in the GLR The "Capacity for commerce in the context of this project is defined as the capacity of core trade infrastructure, such as border markets, border facilities, and ports, to handle an increased flow of goods, services, and people, and the capacity of government agencies at the border to provide high quality and efficient services. Service providers include those individuals who directly support the immediate cross-border trade value chains, including, among others, market vendors in border markets, trans- porters, and government agents. The assumption is that improving the adequacy of trade infrastructure, simplifying and im- proving border processing procedures (including standards for treatment), and enhancing the knowledge and capacity of trad- ers and border officials would lead to reduced trade costs (be they material and immaterial, the latter related to harassment and waste of time) that the target-groups have to bear each time they cross the border. Taken together, and in the absence of any other factors of influence that are not under the control of the project (such as conflict, disaster, major political and/or economic crisis), these project outcomes would help increase the volume of goods traded through the respective border posts/crossing points and improve the livelihoods of those involved in the cross-border value chains in the sub-region.
