Cross Boarder Infrastructure
Mxolisi Notshulwana
29 July 2011
Presentation Outline…..
Three broad objectives that include:
i. Insights into the International Division’s activities in the SADC region;
ii. the context of regional integration, cross-border infrastructure in SADC; and,
iii. to provide some perspectives on the ID Strategy for financing regional infrastructure projects.
2
An integrated approach to sustainable infrastructure development
The updated International Division Regional Strategy, approved in February 2008 and still applicable presently, identified the below priority infrastructure and development finance sectors for the region as reflected in the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), and the Regional Indicative Sustainable Development Plan (RISDP).
The same priorities are reflected in the Government of South Africa’s Medium Term Strategic Plan for its International Relations and Cooperation in the region.
3
The engagement scope will focus on regional integration of infrastructure development on the continent
The International Division’s primary mandate supports regional infrastructure development on the African continent. Whether it is transport corridors, shared river basins, integrated power pools or inter-connecting ICT networks, infrastructure development in Africa by its very nature requires regional, multi-lateral solutions that extent beyond geographic and political boundaries.The engagement scope of the Division therefore extends beyond investments in single countries to include multi-country projects that cut across the continent in support of regional integration.
Through its operations the International Division will aim to:
• Co-deliver social and economic infrastructure;• Build human and institutional capacity;• Promote broad-based economic growth, job
creation, cooperation, integration and prosperity;• Serve as a centre of excellence for development
financing, effectiveness and good governance; • Engender sustainable development.
4
Refining the sector based engagement strategyThe International Division’s engagement in the region is segmented at the sector level as follows:
Sector based engagement
Priority regional infrastructure Power; Transport; Water; ICT
Priority economic development Food, Energy and Water Security; Agribusiness; Forestry & Fishing
Priority social infrastructure Health; Water; Sanitation; Housing
Other regional & domestic infrastructure Tourism; Construction; Mining
The Division has already been pro-actively sourcing projects in support of the refined strategy, particularly in the transport and energy sectors. Current examples include:Projects focusing on the development oftransport corridors
• Beitbridge – Chirundu toll road – Zimbabwe• Kasenga Bridge – DRC, Zambia• Kasumbalesa border post – Zambia• Beitbridge Border post – SA, Zimbabwe• Walvis Bay, Maputo and Dar es Salaam ports
Projects supporting an integrated energylandscape
•Kariba North Bank Hydro extension – Zambia• Ithezi-tezhi power station – Zambia• Zambia-Tanzania-Kenya interconnector - Regional
5
Refining the country based engagement strategy
The International Division’s engagement in the region is segmented at the country level as follows:
Country based engagement
Low-income and emerging out of conflict (Maximising strategic development)
Including Angola, DRC, Madagascar, Zimbabwe
Countries with strong bi-lateral & multi- country projects (Maximising regional integration & trade)
Including DRC, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia,Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe
Countries with acceleration opportunities (Minimize opportunity costs)
Including Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Zambia
6
What is regional infrastructure?• Three major issues to be considered:
– Cross border– Regional impact– Embraces the principles of NEPAD
• The objectives of such infrastructure are:– Trade facilitation, cooperation and integration– Economies of scale and scope– Empowerment/indiginization/localisation– Economic growth and poverty alleviation

The regional infrastructure gaps……• A recent survey (Africa Infrastructure Country
Diagnostic, 2009) has shown that the investment tag on Africa’s infrastructure agenda is on the order of about 93 billion USD per annum – that is about 15% of Africa’s GDP.
• It is a tall order, and clearly not financeable by fiscal spending and aid alone.
• This presents lots of opportunities for investment and business in Africa.
• In the past decade, many private companies, both domestic and international, have recognized the large investment and business opportunities presented by such gaps.

Investing in Infrastructure ……the results!What have others been doing in Infrastructure in theregion? A few examples;
• 2.5 billion USD has been invested in 34 independent power producers, providing some 3 000 MW of new capacity.
• 1.6 billion USD has been invested in 10 toll road concessions (mostly in South Africa).
• And another 1.3 billion USD has been invested in 26 container terminal concessions.
• 500 million USD has been invested in 14 railroad and 4 airport concessions.

• The International Division understands the need for a pro-active approach to project development and origination. In addition to the substantial efforts made by the Division to source additional project preparation opportunities, as already discussed, the Division is actively engaging in securing lead arranger mandates on strategic infrastructure projects:
• The Division has already secured the following lead arranger mandates:Rehabilitation of the N’Djili International Airport – Kinshasa, DRC ($85m)Metro Europa road development – Angola ($100m)Banco Bai credit line – Angola ($250m)Beitbridge – Harare toll road – Zimbabwe ($1bn)Road construction programme – Zambia ($400m)
• The Division is pursuing the mandate to lead arrange in the following projects:Lesotho Highlands Phase 2 development – Lesotho
• The Division anticipates to identify further investment opportunities at an early stage through its involvement in the following initiatives:
The Energy and Environment Partnership Programme – EUR8m initiative funded by the Government of Finland in support of the development of renewable energy projectsAfrican Agriculture Fund – equity investments in projects along the full agricultural value chain with opportunity for International Division to co-invest in leveraged debt of underlying transactions
Proactive approach in support of obtaining mandated lead arranger roles
24
Financing regional infrastructure: challenges • Non or little harmonization of standards, regulatory frameworks, policies,
etc.
• National vs regional priorities and policy contradictions.
• Absence of political and technical champions for key regional programmes.
• Although pockets of strength exist, a generally weak private sector within SADC.
• Generally weak and shallow financial and capital markets.
• Conservative (risk-averse) nature and operations of financiers.
• Financing and co-financing restrictions imposed by donors and financiers.
• Institutional capacity challenges at REC level that inhibit the facilitation of regional infrastructure projects/programmes.
