FOCUS
Dubai is now gearing up to host the World Expo 2020, a six-month event that is expected to bring in 25
million visitors. Studies show, a successful Expo 2020 bid could boost the emirate’s GDP by $23 billion, or
24.4 per cent, over 2015–21. Estimates show that $43 billion would be needed to prepare the city for the
Expo. Of the total planned investments, nearly 56 per cent would be allocated for the construction of
hotels and hotel rooms, followed by the creation of additional retail space (21 per cent), airport
expansion (18 per cent), and others (six per cent). Additionally, the developmental spend in the run-up
to the Expo 2020 would boost most of the relevant sectors, including wholesale trade, transport and
logistics, communications, and business services.
Dubai’s economy looks strong. Investors and businessmen who stalled investments and fled away five
years ago are making a return. Optimism and business confidence in the emirate is running high,
indicating that the city has successfully dampened the impact of the crisis. Yet, concerns still remain;
Dubai needs to be ever more vigilant not to repeat its past mistakes. The city’s debt problems have been
postponed in the interim but payments of $20 billion to Abu Dhabi and the UAE central bank will still need
to be made or rolled over next year. The current economic momentum for the emirate suggests we can
be very optimistic and forge ahead but remember our recent lessons learnt and remain realistic.

Executing Agency (Client): Izmir Metropolitan Municipality (Izmir Buyuksehir Belediyesi)
Assignment Description: The City of Izmir (the "City"), population approximately 4 million, is the third
largest city in Turkey. In common with most Turkish cities the population has been growing rapidly in
recent years, increasing the demand for public transport services.
The City received financing from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD" or the
"Bank") for procurement of three new car ferries and the construction of four wharves and a maintenance
facility (the "Project"). The City is the borrower of the EBRD loan and the municipal ferry operating
company ("Izdeniz" or the "Company"), wholly owned by the City, will operate the ferries.
The Project will enable Izdeniz to increase its car and passenger ferry business and make ferry operations
more efficient by bringing commercialisation to this municipal service. Given Izmir’s layout around a large
bay, a commercial, efficient, clean and safe ferry system is an essential element of the City’s ability to
meet its future mobility needs as defined within its broader urban transport strategy.
The new car and passenger vessels will be compliant with IMO certification and will be faster, more fuel
efficient and environmentally friendly, and more accessible and comfortable for the elderly and the
disabled. The rehabilitation of the existing wharves for the fifteen foot passenger ferries and the
construction of four new floating wharves for the two new vehicle ferries will make it easier and safer for
passengers to embark and disembark. To ensure reliability and efficiency, a repair and maintenance dock
is included in the Project.
The City of Izmir has established a Project Implementation Unit ("PIU") to manage, coordinate and
monitor the project’s implementation and construction. Tender process for procurement of 3 car ferries
was completed and successful bidder was awarded in February 2014. Ferries are under construction.
Construction of new wharves and maintenance facility are to be tendered. An independent consultant
(the "Consultant") is required to assist the PIU with monitoring the implementation of the assets and the
City’s compliance with the loan covenants.
The City's procurement department is experienced and fully verse in carrying out procurements under the
Turkish Public Procurement Law, including large and complex contracts. They recently placed a contract
26
Global Project Opportunities: October’2014
for 15 passenger’s ferries. However, they have very minor experience in following IFI procurement
regulations and using internationally recognised conditions of contracts in English language. The City's
procurement department will be in charge of the management of the procurement process for all the
contracts, funded by the Bank, and included in the procurement plan. The transport department drafted
the technical requirements and will be responsible for all the aspects of technical nature, during
evaluation and more importantly the contracts implementation. In order to mitigate the project's risks
during implementation it is crucial providing assistance ensuring the implementation arrangements are
understood, and followed adequately, and the Loan Agreement requirements timely met. It is considered
an advantage that the Consultant will directly support existing Client's department and its personnel as
this will ensure knowledge transfer being retained.
The Consultant is expected to provide support mainly to the Procurement and Transport Departments of
the City and Izdeniz with the procurement and implementation of investments to be financed by the
EBRD, as well as advice on specific technical issues. The Consultant shall provide assistance in
procurement of the contracts to ensure compliance with the Bank’s Procurement Policies and Rules
(“PP&R”) provisions, and pursuant to all other agreements stipulated in the Loan Agreement signed
between the Company and the Bank. The Consultant shall ensure that the Company seeks and obtains
the Bank’s No Objection for each contract and/or as deemed necessary during the implementation,
pursuant PP&R provisions.
The overall objective of the Consultant is to facilitate the timely and effective implementation of the
Project by:
- Providing project management support to the Company's Procurement Department to co-ordinate,
administer, manage, monitor and evaluate all aspects of the Project, including project implementation,
contract and financial administration;
- Advising the City and the Company in the implementation of the Project's component for the
procurement of works for wharves and a maintenance facility, including procurement, evaluation,
contract administration and disbursement;
- Advising the City and the Company in the implementation of the Project's component for the
procurement of ferries, including contract administration and disbursement;
- Assisting the Company in the preparation of the technical specifications, providing draft tender
documents, including draft contract provisions for the wharves and maintenance facilities;
- After validation of the cost estimates, preparing the required design and technical specifications for the
wharves and the maintenance facility in detail sufficient for inclusion in tender documents pursuant the
PP&R provisions;
- Assisting the Company in conducting the procurement process, in a timely and efficient manner,
including the tenders’ evaluation, the report drafting and contract preparation, for the wharves and
maintenance facilities;
- Providing timely recommendations and reporting to the City and Company in the contract
administration process;
- Assisting with the administration of the contracts and advising the City and Company with respect to all
aspects which, in the Consultant's professional judgement, support the Project’s successful
implementation and prevent any action that might constitute a violation of the contract conditions;
- Providing support by ensuring compliance with finance documents and other agreements, including
conditions precedent, disbursement requirements, reporting in accordance with the finance documents,
environmental and social matters and other required covenants as per the loan agreement;
- Assisting the City in monitoring and reporting the construction progress for the ferries, wharves and
maintenance facilities by performing a regular technical and contractual assessment during the
construction phase;
- Ensuring that all reports required by the EBRD for implementation of the project and the loan are
submitted on schedule;
- Ensuring that the project’s risks mitigating measures are duly implemented;
If requested, the Consultant will assist the City and Company to provide the Bank with data, advice and
information in relation to the contracts which shall be impartial and take due regard of the best industry
practices.

RIA airport in Liberia to be renovated into a state-of-the-art airport
Sep 29, 2014
Liberia Airport Authority (LAA) has, from last week, invited eligible international firms to express
their interest in the expansion and renovation of the current Roberts International Airport (RIA),
into a state-of-the-art airport facility. This will help handle the number of passengers at the airport,
expected to grow to at least 450, 000 in coming years, as projected by LAA.
Renovations into a state-of-the-art airport facility will offer advantage to Liberia by becoming a key
hub for air transport in West Africa region. The construction works will entail setting up of cargo
handling facility, cargo storage and processing facilities.
The state-of-the-art airport will also have fuel supply terminals and parking garages. The LAA
expects that the contractor will set up facilities that meet relevant ICAO Standards. Other facilities
to be included in the design include modern hotel/conference center/complex and a “free zone”
manufacturing complex. No date for completion has been set since the qualifying firm is supposed
to submit proposals for timeline, as well as source funds for the project.
Roberts International Airport (RIA) is the country’s principal international airport and hosts
international carriers on a 11, 000 ft (3, 353m) runway and other facilities. The airport is also used
by United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), both for maintenance operations, landing and takeoff. LAA has also expressed possibility of increased passenger numbers and carriers as investments
in the country soar, especially with discovery of oil in the country.
Tender submissions for expansion of the airport into a new state-of-the-art airport are expected by
end of 30th this month at the LAA Office, James Spriggs Payne Airfield in Sinkor. More details on
the tender can be found at http://www.emansion.gov.lr/doc/Airport.pdf

Namibia to construct US$ 1.2bn gas-fired power plantSouthern Africa
Sep 26, 2014
Shanghai Electric from China has been chosen by the Namibian Government as the preferred
company to build a new USD $1.2bn gas-fired power plant in the country.
Upon completion of the power plant, it is expected that there will be a production capacity of up to
1050MW and it will be connected to the South African and Namibian electricity grid for use in the
region and locally.
The project which is in Kudu, South Western Namibia will pump gas from the Kudu field a distance
of 170km offshore. The new gas-fired power plant is a combined cycle type.
According to the MD of NamPower in Namibia Paulinus Shalimba, turbines and generators to the
project will be supplied by the German Company Siemens AG.
The company had also reserved places for Posco Energy and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems
Sumitomo, just in case negotiations with Shanghai Electric, in relation to the new gas-fired power
plant, failed.
Being one of the world’s top producers of Uranium, the Namibian government has been working on
different projects to help boost supply of electricity in the country. The current supply capacity of
electricity is 507MW, yet the demand is 534MW. By 2018, demand in the country is expected to go
up by 800MW.
NFPDCL to help build 50,000 new housing units in NigeriaWest Africa
Sep 26, 2014
Nigeria federal Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, will, in a public-private
partnership (PPP) with the Messrs New FESTAC Property Development Company Limited
(NFPDCL), build 50,000 new housing units in the country. The two have signed a deal to this
effect. This will be undertaken in the Phase II of developing FESTAC Town in Lagos
Construction of the units will also go hand –in-hand with development of related infrastructure and
land reclamation in the largely swampy area. The new 50,000 housing units, which are expected to
be set up during development of 1,126 hectares of land, will help federal government earn in 30
years. The plots will be served by the necessary standard infrastructure and all essential services.
Ownership of the new 50,000 new housing units and related property will be transferred to the
Federal Housing Authority after 30 years in which it will be run by the concession.
Although some property development experts have termed it a good move, others claim it is not.
One developer said it would be hijacked by money bags adding that the land should have been used
for affordable housing project through the Nigeria Mortgage Refinance Company.
Nigeria minister of Housing and Urban Development, Mrs. Akon Eyakenyi, has, however, assured
that the money will be used to generate money and that there would be no infrastructure breakdown.

EU grants US$ 2.55bn for sustainable energy development in five Africa countriesEnergy
Sep 25, 2014
Five African heads of states have jointly signed a grant with the European Union President, Jose
Manuel Barroso, in New York, a grant that will seek to woo private investors into sustainable
energy development. The beneficiaries include Rwanda, Cape Verde, Cote D ‘voire, Liberia and
Togo.
The grant portions to the five states will be managed by their respective ministries of finance, and
will only be awarded to private investors with worthwhile sustainable energy development projects.
According to Prudence Uwabakurikiza, the information officer at the EU Delegation to Rwanda, the
grant aims at attracting more investments into the countries. The local or foreign investors seeking
to invest in sustainable energy will present their projects to the ministry of finance of a specific
country they wish to invest in, after which they will be assessed before approval to receive a
percentage of these funds.
The five beneficiaries of the grant will consume the largest portion of EU’s total grant of about
US$4.2m dedicated to sustainable energy worldwide between 2014 and 2020.
To Rwanda, this comes only a fortnight after the country and the EU signed a deal worth around
US$ 255 million to support its energy generation bid to help rural and urban households reduce
dependency on diesel and biomass.
“Sustainable energy is essential for fueling growth and development. Two years ago, at the EU
Sustainable Energy for All Summit in Brussels, I proposed the ambitious target of helping
developing countries to provide access to sustainable energy services to 500 million people by
2030,” President Barroso said before the signing.

Fifty of The World island owners 'looking to build'
By Courtney Trenwith
Monday, 1 September 2014
The owners of about 50 manmade islands at Dubai’s The World are looking for joint venture
partners to begin construction immediately, the developer of The Heart of Europe has revealed
to Arabian Business.
The 300 manmade islands project, about 4 kilometres off the coast of Dubai, was launched by
Dubai developer Nakheel at the height of the emirate’s property boom and celebrities, business
people and developers worldwide invested in the company’s ambitious vision.
But work on the islands stalled during the real estate crash in 2008-09.
Kleindeinst Group is the first to launch plans for a permanent resort at The World, with its project
to cover six islands.
CEO Josef Kleindienst said momentum had “definitely, definitely” been lost but interest among
non-developer owners was rising again.
“There are approximately 50 islands [where] if they could find the right joint venture partner they
would go ahead [with construction] now,” he told Arabian Business in an exclusive interview.
Kleindienst said while real estate development had come back to life in the emirate, firms were
preferring to stick to the mainland.
“We are in discussion with most of the island owners and we understand their position: most of
them if they’re in the real estate business then they are quite busy with projects in Dubai, which
means that The World, which has another level of complication if you want to develop out there, is
not their focus,” he said.
“It’s the same [for] Nakheel; it’s quite busy with a lot of other master developments, so the focus is
not there yet.”
However, Kleindienst is confident all of the islands will eventually be developed.
“These 300 island will be completed sooner or later,” he said.
“If I was the master developer I would not be bothered if this is sooner or later because this project
has its location, its quality, its vision and it doesn’t go away, which means it’s 300 islands sitting
out here and clients will come.

Global Project Opportunities: October’2014
“If you look at time, the Palm Jumeirah started construction somewhere in 2004, so that means 10
years later it’s still not completed, so let it take 20 years to complete The World.”
Nakheel is believed to be working on plans to build a road link to the islands, which could help
speed up interest in development.

Dubai’s vibrant hotel industry set to increase capacity to 160,000 by 2020
Issac John (Associate Business Editor) (issacjohn@khaleejtimes.com) / 23 September 2014
Since 1999, following the opening of the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah’s Group’s iconic property that
ensured Dubai’s place on the world’s luxury stage, an average of 17 new hotels were being
launched each year in Dubai.
Dubai: The thriving hospitality industry of Dubai, recording consistently high occupancy rates and
sustained expansion, is on track to boost capacity to 160,000 by 2020.
Since 1999, Dubai’s vibrant hotel industry has been on a phenomenal growth. From 378 properties
comprising 254 hotels and 124 hotel apartments, offering a total of 25,188 room keys, Dubai’s hotel
has expanded to include a further 256 properties to reach a total of 634 establishments and 88,888
room keys — an increase of over 350 per cent, according to data released by the organisers of the
Hotel Show Dubai 2014.
Issam Abdul Rahim Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing,
who will be making the keynote address at the show opening on September 28, said the event plays
a key role for Dubai and the hospitality sector, helping to attract new investment, showcase Dubai
and contribute to ultimately make the emirate one of the world’s most visited cities.
“As we work towards Dubai’s Tourism Vision including attracting 20 million annual visitors by
2020, a key focus is ensuring a consistent growth of the emirate’s hotel inventory to ensure we cater
for current and future demand. The Hotel Show is an important step towards achieving our
ambitious targets,” said Kazim.
Since 1999, following the opening of the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah’s Group’s iconic property that
ensured Dubai’s place on the world’s luxury stage, an average of 17 new hotels were being
launched each year in Dubai.
Christine Davidson, Event Director of the Hotel Show, said the event would continue to attract
decision-making hotel, hospitality and leisure professionals. “In addition, future mega events to be
held in the region such as Dubai’s Expo 2020 are creating a wealth of new opportunities in
hospitality for the city.”
In the first half of 2014, Dubai welcomed more than 5.8 million tourists — the highest number of
visitors ever achieved in the first six months of the year. As Dubai aims to become one of the top
10 sustainable cities in the world, The Hotel Show Dubai is a platform for those influencing the
evolution of the global hospitality and leisure industry; design and architecture trends and green
legislation are just two of the event’s areas of focus, said Davidson.
Expert speakers will be profiled and dedicated features revealed to inspire and educate its visitors in
these and other key areas of focus for the region’s hospitality industry, organisers said.
The UAE is already among the top five countries in the world for new hotel openings over the past
five years. The UAE also has the longest pipeline of rooms under construction with an additional
44
Global Project Opportunities: October’2014
32,107 rooms in the offing while the Middle East/Africa hotel development pipeline comprises 483
hotels totaling 117,450 rooms.
Massive-scale expansion of international airports in the UAE, including what promises to be
world’s largest — Al Maktoum International with a capacity for 160 million annual passengers —
and the fast pace of growth being recorded by the country’s three industry-leading airlines have
already been driving a relentless surge in the number of international visitors and holidaymakers to
the UAE.
As a result, almost all hotels across the UAE have been reporting impressive occupancy rate as well
as steady growth in average daily rate, or ADR.
Standard and Chartered has estimated that the Expo 2020 would have positive implications on three
key parts of the economy: housing, infrastructure and hospitality.
On the hospitality front, the authorities estimate that 25 million people are likely to visit the Expo,
of which 70 per cent will come from outside the UAE.
“We see the hotel sector as one of the main beneficiaries of growth generated by the event. To
accommodate the significant inflow of tourists, the hotel stock will have to expand. Since 70 per
cent of the 25 million visitors are expected to come from outside the UAE, Dubai will need to
accommodate 17.5 million tourists in the months around the Expo,” it said.
Dubai will require around $43 billion to significantly upgrade its infrastructure for Expo 2020 that
may generate additional revenues in the range of $25-35 billion, studies show.

The world became acquainted with Dubai only a few decades ago, and its success story is highly
admirable. It has undergone a profound transformation from a desert city known as a modest
refuelling stop for ships into a global hotspot for trade and business whilst offering a world-class
standard of living. Last year, Dubai’s total trade value reached an impressive $362 billion, up nearly
three times that in 2005. Dubai’s world-class infrastructure and high standard of living has attracted
more than a million people from other countries. Expats account for more than 90 per cent of the
emirate’s population of two million.
Signs of recovery in Dubai’s economy started to become more apparent in the last two years. This is
well reflected by the Dubai Department of Economic Development’s (DED) recent release, which
estimates the emirate to grow at 4.7 per cent and five per cent in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Despite the expectations for a strong economic performance, Dubai’s total government and
government-related entity debt stands at $142 billion, equivalent to 102 per cent of its GDP and
something that still needs to be managed carefully.
Reviving Dubai’s economy has been a 360-degree effort, with major contribution coming from a
surging hospitality industry, ceaseless infrastructure and real estate development, and increasing
trade activity.
45
Global Project Opportunities: October’2014
Dubai’s hospitality industry witnessed a double-digit growth over the last three years on an influx
of tourists. The emirate drew in around 11 million tourists last year. Tourism was followed by the
manufacturing sector, which grew eight per cent year-on-year. Social and personal services rose
almost seven per cent, while transport, storage, and communication grew more than 5.5 per cent.
However, a rebound in the economy has led to a surge in property prices, which in turn has become
a concern for authorities. Dubai has already received a word of caution from the IMF, the UAE
Central Bank, and Moody’s that the city’s real estate market is becoming expensive. The 2008–09
property decline wiped as much as 60 per cent off values. Nevertheless, measures like the
introduction of mortgage caps by the UAE Central Bank and the doubling of the property
registration fees should prevent boom-and-bust cycle in the Dubai real estate market.
Besides tourism and real estate, trade is a vital part of Dubai’s economic growth. The emirate’s total
trade increased at a CAGR of 14.2 per cent over 2005–13 to $362 billion. State-of-the art
infrastructure, world-class business environment, and a favourable tax regime have prompted
several global companies to shift their base to Dubai. The growing economic momentum is also
evident from the rising number of licenses being issued by the DED. During the first quarter of
2014, the DED issued 5,391 licences, up 16 per cent year-on-year. The total number of Intilaq
licences (issued to local entrepreneurs) soared 100 per cent by end-Q1 2014 compared to the same
period last year.
However, a lot more effort is needed to take these activities to pre-crisis level. Dubai ranked 15th on
PwC’s Cities of Opportunity Index, trailing cities such as London, New York, and Singapore; this
suggests that Dubai still has to achieve a lot in terms of intellectual capital and innovation,
technology, sustainability, and ease of doing business.
Besides attracting companies, Dubai has remained at the forefront in terms of drawing talent.
Professionals looking to expand their practice or explore new markets find excellent career
opportunities in the emirate. A recent study by LinkedIn quoted the UAE as first in attracting
foreign talents in 2013. India, the UK, and the US were the top international source markets for
talent coming into the UAE. Total new professional licenses issued in Dubai expanded at a CAGR
of 16 per cent during 2008–13.
Alongside significant investments, government support remains strong. Dubai government is
paying close attention to the development of the social sector, including healthcare, education,
housing, and community development, which together account for 35 per cent of government
spending. Moreover, the government realises the importance of small and medium enterprises
(SMEs), which contribute nearly 40 per cent to GDP. The government formed the Dubai SME, as
an agency in the DED, to achieve the same. Due to the government’s efforts to boost
entrepreneurship as an alternative career choice among residents, the UAE is now ranked 23 rd in the
World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index for 2014, up from 54 in 2008.

UAE nationals are showing a renewed interest in the booming Turkish real estate market, with
several Gulf nationals investing in ongoing housing developments.
Ideal Sapanca, a UAE-Turkish entrepreneurial company, recently announced that its FCC Serenity
Villa project in the Sapanca Lake region in Turkey received a very favourable response from UAE
investors. UAE nationals made up to 26 per cent of the buyers and have already invested Dh18.4
million to get their hands on the exquisite villas at the project.
The company, mandated to market iconic real estate projects by the Turkey-based FCC
Construction and Development Company, also pointed out that the FCC Serenity Villa project is
almost 60 per cent complete and is scheduled to be handed over in the beginning of 2015, nearly six
months ahead of the scheduled handover date.
The FCC Serenity Villa project is being built on 55,000sqm of land in Sapanca — one of the best
vacation destinations in Turkey with picturesque views of the world-famous Sapanca Lake — one
of the drinking water sources in the region. Given its ideal location and natural surroundings, the
project has drawn an enthusiastic response from GCC nationals.Nasser Abdulla Al Ali, UAE
partner for Ideal Sapanca, said: “We are thrilled with the response to the FCC Serenity Villas
project that we received from UAE nationals, which is a testimony to the world-class standards and
amazing location on offer in the project. FCC has been in the industry for over 45 years, and
understands the needs and preferences of our target customers in the UAE. FCC Serenity Villas fits
perfectly in this category of an iconic project by a world-class developer.” The FCC Serenity Villa
project encompasses 51 luxury villas and offers 5-star facilities in a stunning natural environment.
With its proximity to Istanbul and Izmit, the city offers both scenic beauty and stunning landscape.
The project offers two villa options: 3+1 plans on 185sqm, and 4+1 plans on 245sqm across two
floors and a private garden each. The project is 95km (a 45 minute drive) away from the Sabiha
Gokcen Airport.
Speaking ahead of the company’s participation at Cityscape Global 2014, Nasser Abdulla Al Ali
added: “As a company, we made a mark in the construction sector over the last four and a half
decades. We have a huge potential for growth in the GCC, with investors eyeing projects in Turkey
and other parts of the GCC. With this in mind, we launched Ideal Sapanca in the UAE to tap into
this opportunity. We were always looking for an opportunity to offer investors and buyers in the
UAE and the GCC the chance to invest in a robust real estate market such as Turkey.”
According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the Turkish commercial real estate sector increased by 4.3 per
cent in Q1 of 2014, with Turkey now ranked in the top third of the Global Real Estate Transparency
Index among 102 other markets. With 42 per cent of Turkey’s real estate purchases made by foreign
investors in the first half of the year, Turkey’s Finance Ministry reported that the GCC’s
contribution to the Turkish property industry grew by $1.26 billion in Q1 of 2014.
As well as residential property investment, tourism to Turkey from the Middle East is also
experiencing growth. According to official statistics released by the Turkish Ministry and Culture of
Tourism, in February 2013 the numbers of tourists from the UAE increased by 65.7 per cent.

COUNTRY PROFILE:UGANDA
Uganda (/officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered to the
east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to
the southwest by Rwanda, and to the south by Tanzania. Uganda is the second most populous
landlocked country. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria,
shared with Kenya and Tanzania, situating the country in the African Great Lakes region. Uganda also
lies within the Nile basin, and has a varied but generally equatorial climate.
Geography
The country is located on the East African plateau, lying mostly between latitudes 4°N and 2°S (a small
area is north of 4°), and longitudes 29° and 35°E. It averages about 1,100 metres (3,609 ft) above sea
level, and this slopes very steadily downwards to theSudanese Plain to the north. However, much of the
south is poorly drained, while the centre is dominated by Lake Kyoga, which is also surrounded by
extensive marshy areas.
Uganda lies almost completely within the Nile basin. The Victoria Nile drains from Lake Victoria into
Lake Kyoga and thence into Lake Albert on the Congolese border. It then runs northwards into South
Sudan. One small area on the eastern edge of Uganda is drained by the Turkwel River, part of the
internal drainage basin of Lake Turkana.
Although generally equatorial, the climate is not uniform as large variations in the altitude modify the
climate. Southern Uganda is wetter with rain generally spread throughout the year. At Entebbe on the
northern shore of Lake Victoria, most rain falls from March to June and in the November/December
period. Further to the north a dry season gradually emerges; at Gulu about 120 km (75 mi) from the
South Sudanese border, November to February is much drier than the rest of the year.
The northeastern Karamoja region has the driest climate and is prone to droughts in some
years. Rwenzori, a snowy peaked mountainous region on the southwest border with Congo (DRC),
receives heavy rain all year.
The south of the country is heavily influenced by one of the world's biggest lakes, Lake Victoria, which
contains many islands. It prevents temperatures from varying significantly and increases cloudiness
and rainfall. Most important cities are located in the south, near Lake Victoria, including the
capital Kampala and the nearby city of Entebbe.
Although landlocked, Uganda contains many large lakes; besides Lake Victoria and Lake Kyoga, there
are Lake Albert, Lake Edward and the smaller Lake George
Economy and Infrastructure
57
Global Project Opportunities: October’2014
Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizeable mineral
deposits of copper and cobalt. The country has largely untapped reserves of both crude oil and natural
gas.
Uganda traditionally depends on Kenya for access to the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa. Recently,
efforts have intensified to establish a second access route to the sea via the lakeside ports of Bukasa in
Uganda and Musoma in Tanzania, connected by railway to Arusha in the Tanzanian interior and to the
port of Tanga on the Indian Ocean.Uganda is a member of the East African Community and a potential
member of the planned East African Federation.
Transport
Uganda's transport infrastructure includes four railway lines, developed by the Uganda Railways
Corporation. There are also four airports with paved runways, and 22 unpaved runways. Most roads are
paved in the south, but the farther north and farther away from the main cities, (Kampala and
Entebbe)the less paved roads you will see.

UPDATE
P. E.P.C.
PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:
Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
Civil construction projects Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of
utility equipment and include projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and
bridges, apartments, office complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
73

erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training
are categorised as consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project
implementation services, management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration,
charter hire of rigs and locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software
exports, finance and accounting systems.
Supply contracts Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial
manufactures. Typical examples of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome
manufacturing equipments, diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
