South-Africa

Project involves the rehabilitation of nine road links along the North-South Corridor Aid for Trade Road Network, to bring them up to standard to facilitate the movement of goods and people across borders along eight countries in the region. IPPF would support preparation of NSC projects to a bankability stage, including detailed design, EIAs and preparation of bidding documents.   

The proposed L-BWT is a priority investment project selected for development under the Integrated Water Resources Management Plan of the Orange-Senqu River Basin. The project comprises the development of a dam and water storage reservoir in the Lesotho Lowlands, and a bulk water conveyance system from the reservoir, through South Africa to Botswana, over an estimated distance of 712Kms.

The objectives of the project are to prepare an optimised water resources development investment strategy and plan with the IWRM implementation roadmap for the Orange-Senqu River Basin and preparation of multipurpose project for implementation in the short term time frame. Climate resilience will be integrated in the planning and development of water infrastructure. Investment financing and resources mobilisation strategies will be developed in both cases. The project promotes capacity building and institutional development as part of the stakeholders’ consultation process.
