OVERVIEW OF HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE / 3 Unsolicited proposals The description of the activities under each of the project development phases, have been set out below with the assumption that a public sector sponsor has initiated the development of the in- frastructure project. Government ministries will, however, re- ceive, without prior request, many “unsolic- ited proposals� for the construction, operation, maintenance, and / or �nancing of infrastruc- ture projects, that are developed independently by private citizens or companies. Often, unsolicited proposals request conces- sion rights in sectors with limited, or no inter- nal market competition (e.g. water distribu- tion, toll roads, airports, etc.), as opposed to projects that must compete in licensed markets (e.g. merchant power plants, cellular telecom service, etc.). These proposals require particu- larly careful review. The point in a project development process at which an unsolicited project is presented to a government will vary considerably. Some might be at the initial feasibility stage, others may have developed a �nancing structure, and just need to �nalise agreements with �nance providers. Of�cials who receive these unso- licited proposals will need to evaluate and determine whether they provide an appropri- ate opportunity to improve the delivery of a particular infrastructure service. Of�cials may not, however, have the resources or the know how to do this, and therefore may require sup- port from project preparation facilities. 4 / OVERVIEW OF HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE STEP 1 Identify the relevant phase of project development that you need help for, and the type of support that might be available. • Designing regulatory approaches – approaches Step 1: Overview / methodologies to regulating infrastructure in- The �rst task is to review the six broad phases of dustries may need to be developed, or reviewed, project development, to assess the type of support and possibly changed, if they appear to be de- you need. �cient in supporting sustainable infrastructure development.

Case study 1 NAME OF RECIPIENT Government of Eritrea GEOGRAPHY Eritrea SECTOR Multisector – Economic policy analysis and management TYPE OF SUPPORT Grant AMOUNT OF SUPPORT US$900,000 DURATION OF SUPPORT October 2005 – Ongoing BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES The goal of the Economic Policy Analysis and Management (EPAM) project is to improve the performance and efficiency of the public sector in the management of the economy of Eritrea. The two main components of the project are institutional strengthening and human capacity development. The institutional strengthening component is to facilitate the acquisition of equip- ment and materials that will contribute to improving the productivity and working conditions and environment of professionals responsible for economic and development management in the country; and to improve the learning and teaching environment of the College of Business and Economics of the University of Asmara, particularly the postgraduate Master’s Degree program. The human capacity development component involves addressing the need of the absence of skilled human resources. This component will address this need by providing training in economic policy analysis and development management. This component will also facilitate in-country Master’s Degree training of professionals and managers. 22 / STEP 3: AFRICAN CAPACITY BUILDING FOUNDATION Case study 2 NAME OF RECIPIENT Government of Namibia GEOGRAPHY Namibia SECTOR Multisector – Public service delivery TYPE OF SUPPORT Grant AMOUNT OF SUPPORT US$1,580,096 DURATION OF SUPPORT August 2005 – Ongoing BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES ACBF and the Government of Namibia have signed a Grant Agreement that will provide US$1,580,096 towards the development of an integrated, comprehensive and result-oriented Performance Management System (PMS), which aims to strengthen and enhance the efficiency of the public sector in Namibia through well-institutionalized performance standard frameworks.

The fund provides support in three categories: • High-performing countries that can achieve higher growth rates and become regional “star players�. • Transforming countries that can demonstrate that recent and sustained commitment to reforms, but where success may be limited by lack of resources to implement critical reforms. • Regional integration initiatives that can increase the supply of multi-country public goods or deliver growth opportunities. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND EXCLUSIONS Recipients of ACGF funding are mainly governments, but can also be regional economic bodies. Eligibility criteria include: • Evidence of a credible national strategy for shared growth. • Evidence of a constraint to growth, the alleviation of which will yield a sharp increase in growth. • Evidence that aid is being well-utilized in the country, as reflected in the judgment of the donor community in the country. • Evidence of government commitment and demonstrated improvement in economic governance, supported by political leadership to follow-through with the transformation. • Where funds are to be allocated to a regional institution, evidence that, with accompanying technical assistance, it can effectively manage the program and be held accountable for its outcomes. The application process STEP 1: FILLING THE APPLICATION FORM Relevant application forms can be found on ACGF’s website www.worldbank.org/afr/acgf/ These should be discussed with the World Bank Staff in the respective country. STEP 2: PREPARING REQUIRED DOCUMENTS The application form lists the information required to make an application.

Examples of work The Fund has been only recently launched and as such there are no speci�c case studies. The following are, however, the possible types of projects that the Fund might support: ENERGY FOR A HIGH PERFORMING COUNTRY The country is regionally important and has shown good growth performance over the past sever- al years. Additional growth is constrained by poor reliability of electricity and inadequate coverage (especially in rural areas). Today, the country is poised at a cross-road, where it could make a quantum leap in electricity access. This would require levelling the playing �eld among multiple providers and options. The ACGF would be used to accelerate this shift through both initial capitalization for strate- gic investments and institutional strengthening. The results would also help Government implement a new commercially-oriented and sustainable framework for increased access to affordable, reliable and adequate electricity. As a consequence of ACGF support, it will also be possible to use this as part of an approach to scaling up aid. ACCELERATED CHILD SURVIVAL IN A TRANSFORMING COUNTRY The country has just emerged from decade long internal conflict. Since the end of the conflict, the conduct of macro policy has been conducive to sustained medium-term growth. The Government has a credible strategy for sustained reform which outlines the critical need to address shared growth and key health outcomes. The ACGF project would support the implementation of an Accelerated Child Sur- vival and Development Program in order to reduce the level of under-�ve child mortality. The proposal seeks to scale up the interventions that already exist in family and community-based care, population and outreach services, and individually oriented clinical care, focusing on under �ve mortality and child survival. The project would complement an on-going Health Reconstruction and Development Project (HRSDP) and would leverage additional funding from UNICEF, both at the central and country level. It would additionally help to harmonize activities by different donors in the health sector, and across sectors in the country. BETTER GOVERNANCE AT A REGIONAL LEVEL ACGF would support the Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) by addressing timely funding needs and assistance mobilizing technical expertise. ACGF would supplement the funds available for the tech- nical work underpinning the peer review process and to implement programs to address the problems identi�ed by the reviews. IDA cannot fund this effort, and to date other donors have not come forward, in part because of the initially slow pace of implementation by NEPAD. ACGF funding offers an op- portunity to break this “vicious cycle� of limited implementation due to lack of resources and accelerate the pace of the APRM, thereby attracting additional support from the development community.

These operators have brought clear efficiency gains to the sector. However, the challenge for the Government of Uganda is to scale up ser- vice delivery in small towns and expand into rural growth centres in order to meet its poverty reduction targets. GPOBA will be working with the Government to design OBA schemes in small towns and ru- ral growth centres that will provide targeted subsidies to the poor for access to piped water supply, while allowing private operators to expand their role providing much needed �nancing and expertise. GPOBA’s role: GPOBA has approved funding for technical assistance to support the design of the OBA scheme. Activity Type: project design and development. 62 / STEP 3: GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR OUTPUT BASED AIR (GPOBA) ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK (IDB) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FACILITY HOSTED BY FORMAT IDB TA Facility CONTRIBUTORS: IDB GOAL: To assist in the preparation or implementation of projects or policies and to help in the development of institutions or human resources.

STEP 3: IFC ADVISORY SERVICE / 69 Case study 1 NAME OF RECIPIENT Government of Cameroon GEOGRAPHY Cameroon SECTOR Energy TYPE OF SUPPORT Paid for advisory services AMOUNT OF SUPPORT n/a DURATION OF SUPPORT 1998 – 2001 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES In 1998, the Government of Cameroon hired IFC as lead advisor for the reform of the electricity sector and the privatization of the national power utility, SONEL. At the time, SONEL was on the verge of bankruptcy. The government wanted to foster competition and promote the development of electric- ity services at affordable prices throughout the country. IFC assisted the government in preparing a new law establishing the introduction of competition in a phased manner. An independent regulatory agency was established as part of CAS efforts. In addition, CAS helped set up an agency to promote rural electri�cation through technical assistance services and identi�cation of donor funding. In July 2001, AES acquired 56 percent of SONEL’s equity through a competitive bidding process, and committed to sell 5 percent of its shares to SONEL’s employees within two years. This transaction valued the company at over US$225,000,000. SONEL is the �rst Cameroonian utility to be priva- tized; the event is a milestone in Cameroon’s economic reform program. The number of connections is expected to increase four-fold over the next two decades. 70 / STEP 3: IFC ADVISORY SERVICE IFC MUNICIPAL FUND HOSTED BY FORMAT IFC Sun-national �nancial facility CONTRIBUTORS: The World Bank and the IFC.

Case study 1 NAME OF RECIPIENT Government of Madagascar (GoM) GEOGRAPHY Madagascar SECTOR Transportation (ports) Grants for Technical Assistance and Capacity TYPE OF SUPPORT Building AMOUNT OF SUPPORT US$315,790 through DevCo DURATION OF SUPPORT 2 years BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES TAF contributed US$315,790 to assist the Government of Madagascar to establish a port authority (SPAT) responsible for regulation of all operations and activities of the Port of Toamasina. Under a com- petitive bidding process, an international consulting company specializing in the port sector was selected to provide technical assistance to the Government in setting up SPAT, a necessary prelude to concession to the private sector of port operations. This technical assistance was a key element in helping implement port sector reforms which the GoM, with assistance of the World Bank, had undertaken with the issuance of a new port sector law. In addition, the establishment of a credible, effective port authority was an im- portant element in attracting world class investors / operators to Madagascar. The knowledge transfer and training component of this technical assistance has improved the probable sustainability of the concession by transferring technical know-how and world class port management skills to SPAT.

Assistance is provided in developing pro-poor strategies for each town, and major activities support- ed are: • Training of municipal staff and small independent operators. • Development of operational manuals and guidelines for community-driven development of sanitation. • Development of Municipal WSS MDG Strategies and Action Plans (including capacity assessments, resource mobilization and monitoring and evaluation systems). • Support to community-driven development implementation. 114 / STEP 3: WATER AND SANITATION PROGRAM – AFRICA (WSP) STEP 4 CONTACT RELEVANT INDIVIDUALS Contact List CONTACTS FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSORTIUM FOR AFRICA CONTACT NAME CONTACT DETAILS Secretariat to the Infrastructure Consortium African Development Bank for Africa ATR building BP 323 - 1002 Tunis Belvédère Tunisia Fax: +1 216 71 10 3788 CONTACTS FOR THE PROJECT PREPARATION FACILITIES FACILITY NAME CONTACT NAME CONTACT DETAILS ACP-EC Energy Howard Barton E-mail: europeAid-energy-facility@cec.eu.int Facility Programme Manager Website: www.energyfacility.info Energy Facility Tel: +32(0)229.92792 African Capacity George Kararach Website: www.acbf-pact.org Building Foundation Programme Of�cer Tel: +236-4-700208, 700209, 700210 ext. 226 Knowledge Manage- Fax: +(263 - 4) 702915, 738520 ment and Programme Address: 7th & 15th Floors, Intermarket Support Department Life Towers, Cnr.
