FOCUS
Kenya has a well-developed building and construction industry with quality engineering, building and
architectural design services being readily available. This industry is currently on an upward trend
following re-habilitation and reconstruction of roads and bridges under the Kenya Urban Transport
Infrastructure Program.
With increase in population, and growing demand for affordable housing, opportunities exist in the
construction of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, including prefabricated low-cost housing.
Investors can also manufacture and supply construction materials and components for the sector.
Kenya envisages a massive upgrading and extension of the country's infrastructure such as Road
construction and rehabilitation; Development of the Ksh 2 trillion Lamu Port and associated
infrastructure, Rehabilitation of airports; Construction of power generation plants, construction of the
proposed multi-billion shilling Konza ICT Park and construction of resort cities in Isiolo, Lamu, Diani, Kilifi
and Lokichoggio towns.
The country has highlighted a number of infrastructure projects that present significant opportunities for
investors in the coming years.

Redevelopment of the Northern Corridor

Development of a commuter railways system around Nairobi

Building of a standard gauge line to replace the current Kenya-Uganda railway

Design and Construction of a new terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport

Development of a new corridor from Lamu to South Sudan and Ethiopia (LAPSET)
Investments into these projects can either be through direct investments or through public private
partnerships.

Project Details:
Assignment Description: Turkey's hospital infrastructure sector, organised by the Ministry of Health
("MoH" or the "Client"), is in need of modernising its existing hospital infrastructure to bring it up to
international standards coupled with the expected need for more than 90,000 new hospital beds over the
next ten years to 2023, according to MoH’s analysis.
Public hospitals in Turkey operate poorly due to a lack of essential facilities. The government seeks to
address this issue by rolling out a large scale hospital PPP programme (the "Programme"). The
Programme has resulted in the launch of more than 16 tenders for the construction and provision of
22
Global Project Opportunities: December’2014
products and services for integrated hospital infrastructure projects under the Design-Build-FinanceLease-Transfer ("DBFLT") model. Under this model, the private sector is being called up to provide key
infrastructure (buildings and equipment) and facilities management (excluding clinical services) pursuant
to concession agreements with MoH.
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("EBRD" or the "Bank") intend to provide debt or
equity financing for the Hospital Facilities Management PPP Framework ("Project" or "Framework") for up
to 8 hospital facilities management projects, each with a different concessionaire and a range of
sponsors.
The Framework operation will support the MoH in preparing and delivering in accordance with best
international practice a large scale hospital facilities management PPP programme covering up to 60
facilities across Turkey for total investment costs of EUR 12 billion. This programme will be tendered in
phases, with Phase 1 including 16 hospitals and EUR 6 billion investments already awarded. The
Framework is expected to finance projects within this Phase 1 therefore constituting some 10 per cent of
Phase 1 capital needs.
The Client now intends to engage a consultancy firm (the "Consultant" to provide support to MoH to
develop and train a core group of MoH staff who will form the monitoring function (the "Assignment") .
While MoH has already begun assigning technical, financial and medical staff from other departments in
the ministry to work at the new monitoring function, including the hiring of a leading British hospital PPP
expert as an external consultant, the ministry has requested additional technical assistance from the
Bank.
The Assignment scope will ensure MoH receives appropriate advice on resourcing the monitoring function,
structuring and defining roles, determining the responsibilities of each staff member, developing together
procedures for monitoring to be agreed with the concessionaires and training the staff on key aspects of
monitoring.

tasks:
- Review design effectiveness of PPP Monitoring Units internationally and applications for Turkey;
- Set up the PPP Monitoring Unit Team;
- Contract Administration/Managing Service Performance;
- Systems for PPP Compliance Management;
- Presentation of Proposed PPP Unit Guidance Document to the MoH and Initial Feedback;

Opta Sense wins $12mn rail contract
Published: 23 November 2014 - noon
By: Hannah Raven
Opta Sense, a Qineti Q company, has been awarded a five-year $12mn contract, with its
partner TAQQAT Global Co. - Abdulla Fouad Group, to provide security monitoring for two rail
lines from Dammam to Riyadh.
The contract, for the 1,000km rail line is the first phase in securing the entire rail infrastructure in Saudi
Arabia.
The contract, which is being primed by TAQQAT Global Co. - Abdulla Fouad Group, will see the installation
of a dedicated fibre monitoring network which will incorporate OptaSense’s Distributed Acoustic Sensing
(DAS) system.
The DAS technology will allow the Saudi Railways Organisation (SRO) to monitor encroachments and
unauthorised movements on both sides of the railway lines, by sensing vibrations on the fibre-optic
network.
Using laser and sonar technology developed by QinetiQ, the disturbances will be transmitted to
processing units to compare the type of vibrations and determine via a database whether it is a vehicle,
excavation, a person or an animal on the line, as well as ignoring the ordinary vibrations generated by
the trains.
The technology can also identify the site of any disturbance helping reduce the response times for
maintenance and security teams.

The Ethiopian government has set aside US$ 20bn for power generation in the country for the period
running 2015-2020. The project is part of the second generation of the Growth and Transformation Plan
(GTP).
These plans for the energy project were disclosed during the Powering Africa: Ethiopia event held at the
Radisson Blue Hotel last week. The main purpose of the event was to connect the government with local
and interested international power infrastructure developers and financiers.
The government hopes to raise the money internally for the projects supplemented by loans. With the
funds, it will build an additional 10-12 new power generating projects. The projects will utilize local
construction materials as their main source as their main input.
The government hopes to generate 10,000MW of electricity once these energy projects have been
completed.
It aims at increasing the energy generation capacity to 15,000MW during the second phase of the GDP
and also improve the electricity coverage within the country from the current 55% to 99%. This will be
done by developing renewable wind and geothermal sources.
The head of Strategy and Investment Division at the Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP), Mekuria Lemma

December 2, 2014 Last Updated at 00:43 IST
India and Bangladesh are looking at a comprehensive partnership in the energy sector even as the
neighbour is keen on joining the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India natural gas pipeline.
Also, Indian refineries are looking at possibilities of selling petroleum products to the South Asian
neighbour through a pipeline. “With the signing of the Saarc (South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation) framework for energy cooperation, it has become a reality. Besides, export from
Turkmenistan is attractive,” said Tawfiq-e-Elahi, advisor to Prime Minister, energy and mineral resources,
Bangladesh.
The product pipeline is being planned from BPCL’s Numaligarh refinery to Parbatipur in Bangladesh.
To begin with, diesel is likely to be transported through the pipeline. “A feasibility study for the pipeline is
currently underway,” a senior petroleum ministry official said. The pipeline is estimated to cost Rs 200
crore and would have a capacity of one million tonne. It could also be further extended into Myanmar.

Tripura to Bangladesh.
India already sells 500 MW to Bangladesh from Bhemara power plant of NTPC in West Bengal.
Bangladesh buys another 300 MW from the open market.
Tawfiq-e-Elahi said they were looking to buy another 500 MW from India by 2016.
Besides the movement of petroleum and petrochemical products, India and other SAARC countries are
looking at greater cooperation in the power sector through integration of the transmission grid.

India’s two power exchanges — Indian Energy Exchange(IEX) and Power Exchange India Ltd (PXIL) —
expect that the energy deal signed by the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) on
energy cooperation would be a big boost to the sector.
These exchanges engaged in day-ahead transactions hope that India will get more power, especially from
hydro power-rich Nepal and Bhutan. On the other hand, Pakistan can expect cheaper power from India

through exchanges as power is generated in the northwestern neighbouring country on costly fuel like oil
and Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS). According to the Saarc Framework Agreement for Energy
Cooperation, the members will — for the purpose of electricity trade — enable non-discriminatory access
to the their respective transmission grid as per the applicable laws, rules, regulations and
inter-
governmental bilateral trade agreements. The member states will facilitate buying and selling entities to
engage in crossborder electricity trading.
IEX director Rajesh Mediratta told the Business Standard, “IEX aspires to be a regional exchange
facilitating transactions across the Saarc countries. Inter connection with Bangladesh and Bhutan have
already been established and the same with Nepal it is expected to be in place in a year. We see
transactions happening through the exchange.”
PXIL said deal is a win-win situation for all eight countries. “PXIL welcomes the energy agreement which
is a forward-looking initiative. Transactions in power exchanges are done in the most transparent, neutral
and efficient manner. PXIL is prepared to facilitate such trading,” said PXIL managing director and CEO M

GCC nations can invest in energy, housing and infrastructure
Abu Dhabi — The GCC nations can tap opportunities in Egypt’s renewable energy, housing, real estate,
agriculture, food and hydrocarbons. Other areas which have huge growth opportunities include IT and
telecommunications, transportation, infrastructure, and tourism sectors, a conference was told in Abu
Dhabi.
The past two years Egypt’s economy has received substantial financial support from Gulf countries, with
almost $20 billion in aid from the Gulf states invested in a variety of projects.
Egypt’s economy continues to demonstrate significantly positive growth following a market collapse in
2013, as the first half of 2014 saw $3.8 billion worth of projects awarded including the South Helwan
Power Plant, the Tahrir petrochemicals complex and the new bridges at the Alexandria port with over
$175 billion in un-awarded projects.
The New Development Strategy which is scheduled to run through till 2018/19 and its objectives and
delivery framework were discussed at length during the MEED Invest in Egypt Conference in the presence
of Dr Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of State of the UAE, Dr Mostafa Madbouly, the Egyptian
Minister of Housing Utilities and Urban Communities, and Ambassador Ayman El Kaffas, Deputy Minister
of Finance for International Affairs.
Al Jaber emphasised that the stability of Egypt was vital to the overall security of the region; highlighting
that helping Egypt achieve its economic and political goals will most assuredly translate into positive
returns for the region at large. He also emphasised that it is of importance that the business community
to support Egypt’s economic development by focusing on industries that create jobs and support the
overall social development of the country.
The Cairo New Development Strategy launched in mid-October sees the Ministry of Finance aiming to
induce growth to reach 3.5 per cent in 2014 –15 while reducing the deficit in budget 10.5 per cent from
12.6 per cent of the GDP for 2013-14. It also aims to reduce the government debt to 80-85 per cent of
the GDP over the next five years while increasing employment and export activity.
A number of reforms and updates to tax laws, investment laws, and business process laws are currently
under review including the introduction of VAT which is set to come into effect in the next few months
alongside an increase in income tax rates of five per cent for corporates and individuals earning more
than $140 million for a period of three years.

The Egyptian government has taken sole responsibility for the social housing project which is considered
to be the largest housing project in the world for low income people — 1 million units for low income
individuals with 230,000 units already under construction and 52,000 units of these completed and
announced to the public for application.
The minister said talks are underway with several partners from Gulf countries to develop partnerships
through which they will directly allocate the land for development to these partners as opposed to
engaging in a lengthy tender process.
He also confirmed that $22 billion investment is required to push forward with the social housing project
and this amount will come from the sale of land and the profit from the schemes for middle income
housing. haseeb@khaleejtimes.com

Jordan officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan ( al-Mamlakah al-Urdunīyah al-Hāshimīyah), is
an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi
Arabia to the south and east, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, and Israel and Palestine to the
west.
After the post-World War I division of West Asia by Britain and France, the Emirate of Transjordan was
officially recognized by the Council of the League of Nations in 1922. In 1946, Jordan became an
independent sovereign state officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. After capturing
the West Bank during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Abdullah I took the title King of Jordan. The name of
the state was changed to The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 1 December 1948.
Although Jordan is a constitutional monarchy, the king holds wide executive and legislative powers.
Jordan is classified as a country of "high human development"[8] by the 2014 Human Development
Report, and an emerging market with the third freest economy in West Asia and North Africa (32nd freest
worldwide). Jordan has an "upper middle income" economy.[ Jordan has enjoyed "advanced status" with
the European Union since December 2010, and it is a member of the Euro-Mediterranean free trade area.
It is also a founding member of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Transportation Sector
Transportation infrastructure along road, rail and air links is well developed. Various plans to achieve
these improvements are at an advanced stage.
The transportation sector accounts for more than 10% of Jordan’s GDP. It is growing at an annual rate of
6%.The government developed a national transport strategy to upgrade the country’s infrastructure, and
enable Jordan to capitalize on its natural geographical advantages.
Airports
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) is undergoing a 550 million USD rebuild project in 2008.A
build-operate-transfer (BOT) contract was awarded to an international consortium led by “Aéroports de
Paris” management. After the completion of the project, the capacity of the airport will expand from 3
million passengers to 9 million. Whereas, the cargo capacity will be greatly increased.
King Hussein International Airport (Aqaba): The National Air Services of Kuwait won a tender to
equip, operate, and transfer the airport for 15 years. 15 million USD have been invested in upgrades. The
cargo terminal serves as a sea-air linkage into Iraq and the rest of the region. KHIA has an Open Sky
policy.
The Royal Jordanian (RJ) Airlines serves 55 direct destinations and 700 others are served by alliance
airlines. It has modern aircrafts. Also, RJ became a member in the One World Alliance in April, 2007. RJ
has been privatized in 2007.
RJ recently made a multi-million USD investment in the upgrade of the cargo terminal at QAIA.
Roads and Highways
Jordan has excellent road connections all over the country, connecting Jordan with all its neighboring
country. It has around 80,000 km2 of paved roads and highways.
Since 2002, the Ministry of Public works and Housing started implementation of its 25 year plan which
aims to complete an extensive road network around the kingdom. This includes building ring roads
around major cities and development areas such as Amman, Salt and Irbid. Investments on road

improvement and development are expected to reach more than 1.8 billion USD within the coming 25
years.
Railway
The Jordanian government prepared a railway master plan to build an entirely new standard-gauge
railway network.
The existing railway network in Jordan consists of 620 km of narrow-gauge tracks, operated by:
Jordan Hejaz Railway: 217 km of operational lines, and 111 km of abandoned lines. It runs 2
passenger trains per week between Amman and Damascus, and freight trains upon request.
Aqaba Railway Corporation: 293 km of operational lines, transporting around (2.5 – 3) MN tons of
phosphate from the mines to Aqaba Port.
A Light Railway BOT project has been awarded to a Kuwaiti-Spanish consortium in 2008 which will
connect Amman to Zarqa, around 26 km. The project is estimated to cost 330 million USD. The electricpowered double track railway will be operational in 2011. The line will establish an effective daily
passenger transport between Amman and Zarqa catering to 90,000 passengers daily commuters with
prompt, frequent trips with reliability and safely.
Real Estate Sector
The landscape of real estate in Jordan evolved transforming the face of major cities across the Kingdom.
Rapid change during the five years has witnessed copious architectural structures and large development
projects ranging from residential, commercial, tourism and industrial estates.
There are fundamental dynamics that fuelled demand for real estate in the Jordanian market. First of
which is the vibrant growth of the Jordanian economy shaped the market for a more diversified real
estates to satisfy high income tastes and middle to low income needs. Second, Gulf countries and
investors with excess liquidity resulting from rising oil revenues opted for profitable opportunities in the
Jordanian market. Third, political unrest in neighbouring countries from Iraq and Lebanon led to an influx
of affluent populations into Jordan who increased the demand for housing and many services. Finally, the
vast young population provide a ‘Natural Demand’ for housing, sustained by flexibility of credit facilities.
The real estate industry is expected to benefit from more than 13 billion JD worth of investments. In
addition to the fore mentioned forecast, infrastructure and projects set along the large development
projects and estates is expected to reach another 15 billion JD. According to the Department of Land and
Surveys the value traded in 2006 reached 4.9 billion which represents a 40% increase from the previous
year and is expected to reach 6.0 billion by the end of 2007, and 7.0 billion in the year 2007. The Central
Bank of Jordan recently announced that the value of real estate in 2007 amounted to 4.028 billion JD.
The real estate sector has a positive impact on the Jordanian economy, contribution of the sector to the
GDP amounts to 1.183 billion JD in 2007 marking a 4.1% growth from the previous year. Whereas the
construction sub-sector also grow by 9.8% in 2007 reaching 445.6 million JD. Both real estate and the

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
72
Global Project Opportunities: December’2014
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,
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.
