PROJECT SUMMARY

Project Overview

The Project to Support the Air Transport Sector in West and Central Africa (PASTA-CO) is in

line with the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy and corresponds to the thrusts of NEPAD’s PIDA,

especially the establishment of secured and efficient air spaces and airports for which the Bank

plays the role of catalyst of regional integration in Africa. It is also consistent with the Regional

Integration Strategy Paper (RISP) for Central Africa, whose Pillar II aims to build the

institutional and human capacities of RECs. Similarly, it is consistent with the West Africa

Regional Integration Strategy Paper whose Pillar II targets institutional capacity building and

support for regional initiatives and mechanisms that foster integration into the global economy.

Lastly, the project is aligned to the Bank Group’s Long-Term Strategy and consistent with its

sectoral focus on infrastructure with particular emphasis on regional integration. The project

outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in

the three Regional Economic Communities to improve air transport safety and the liberalization

of cross-border air transport services in these regions to support trade, tourism and investment.

The project’s general objective is to contribute to improving civil aviation safety and to offer

safe and efficient air navigation services in a unified airspace in order to support trade and

regional socio-economic integration within the West and Central Africa region. It will improve

air transport safety, security and effectiveness mostly by: (i) building the oversight capacity of

Regional Air Safety Agencies; (ii) building the capacity of key air transport stakeholders in

both regions; and (iii) supporting mechanisms for coordinating regional air transport policies.

Financing Arrangement:

The project cost of UA 10.996 million is financed by ADF for UA 8.00 million, through the

Regional Public Goods Window. The overall contribution of the three RECs stands is UA 2.996

million including respectively UA 1.799 million for ECCAS, UA 0.711 million for ECOWAS

and UA 0.486 million for WAEMU. The project’s implementation will span four years, from

2015 to 2019.

Needs Assessment

The continental dimensions of the ECCAS and ECOWAS areas, compounded by land transport

problems, make air transport the most popular mode of commercial exchange and movement

of people in Central and West Africa. Unfortunately, users are far from satisfied with the air

services offered today. The main characteristics of the sector in these sub-regions are: (i) the

poor level of air safety and security in the region; (ii) the insufficient air links in and between

Member States of ECOWAS and ECCAS; (iii) weak capacities of Government departments in

charge of civil aviation; (iv) a high rate of air accidents, which is four times the global average

although Africa represents only 4.1% of global air traffic; (v) lack of airport infrastructure and

air navigation equipment and services.

Despite commendable efforts made, much still remains to be done to ensure better connectivity,

economies of scale and sustainable development of air transport in these regions, to enable it to

effectively play its role in supporting economic production and regional integration.

Target Beneficiaries

The project’s main direct beneficiaries are: (i) the ECCAS General Secretariat; (ii) ECOWAS

Commission; (iii) WAEMU Commission, but also the various Regional Coordination units of

NEPAD, the national focal points of ECCAS and ECOWAS, civil aviation authorities and

Ministries responsible for transport, trade and regional integration in ECCAS and ECOWAS

member countries.

Improving air transport operating conditions (better safety and security, regular flights, increase

in flights between capitals, lower tariffs and also recognition of passengers’ rights) will lead to

an increase in human and commercial exchanges due to the accessibility of Member States and

better regional integration.

The indirect beneficiaries of the project are residents of these zones, particularly women and

youth who will operate in a more favourable environment and benefit from basic infrastructure.

In fact, airlines will be able to take advantage of opportunities for growing intra-community

exchanges.

Bank’s Comparative Advantage and Value Added

Since 1970, the Bank has been lending vital support to the air sector, especially by financing

49 operations including the construction/rehabilitation of airports, installation of navigation

equipment, training, procurement of aircrafts and project preparation studies in the sector. This

project will consolidate these achievements, especially by building air safety/security capacities

in the beneficiary regions.

Knowledge Building

This will mainly involve disseminating good practices in air transport programme management

in the 3 REC member countries and in the production of quality and internationally-complaint

statistics and data in the sector. Dissemination of these practices in Member States’ Government

departments will be via documents produced, procedures manuals and training sessions to be

organized under the project. Knowledge garnered and lessons learned will be disseminated

within the Bank and in beneficiary countries.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MANAGEMENT TO THE BOARD OF

DIRECTORS CONCERNING THE PROPOSED AWARD OF A GRANT OF UA 8.00

MILLION CORRESPONDING TO UA 3.042 MILLION TO THE ECOWAS COMMISSION,

UA 2.957 MILLION TO WAEMU COMMISSION AND UA 2.000 MILLION TO THE ECCAS

GENERAL SECRETARIAT, TO FINANCE THE PROJECT TO SUPPORT THE AIR

TRANSPORT SECTORS IN WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA (PASTA-CO)

This proposal, submitted for the Board’s approval, concerns the award of an ADF Grant of UA 8.00

million, under the terms set out in this report, consisting of UA 3.042 million to the ECOWAS

Commission, UA 2.957 million to the WAEMU Commission and UA 2.000 million to the ECCAS

General Secretariat, to contribute to the financing of the Project to Support the Air Transport Sector in

West and Central Africa (PASTA-CO). This institutional support, to be implemented from 2015-2019,

seeks to strengthen institutional capacity to oversee civil aviation safety and security and contribute to

the development and safety of air transport in West and Central Africa by putting in place common

institutional and regulatory frameworks in countries of the two sub-regions.

I. STRATEGIC THRUST AND RATIONALE

1.1. Project Linkages with the Country’s Strategy and Objectives

The global objective of the project is to contribute to improving civil aviation safety and to offer safe

and efficient air navigation services in a unified airspace in order to support trade and regional socio-

economic integration within the West and Central Africa region.

It will help to improve air transport safety, security and effectiveness, mostly by: (i) building the

capacity of regional aerial safety oversight agencies; (ii) ensuring compliance with international

standards of the main airports in WCA (iii) building the capacity of key air transport stakeholders in

both regions; and (iv) providing support to air transport policy coordination mechanisms in both

regions.

In fact, the air transport sector continues to face major safety and security challenges evidenced by: (i)

the weak level of air safety and security in the region; (ii) insufficient air links within and between

Member States of ECOWAS and ECCAS; (iii) the weak capacity of Government departments in

charge of Civil Aviation; (iv) a high rate of air accidents, which is four times the global average

whereas Africa represents only 4.1% of global air traffic; (v) the dearth of airport infrastructure and

aerial navigation equipment and services. In order to address these challenges, Regional Economic

Communities designed action plans for safe and effective air transport in their regions. The PASTA-

CO Project is consistent with the ECOWAS 2020 Vision and ECCAS 2025 Agenda. Specifically, this

project is anchored on the air transport development action plans prepared by RECs and validated by

ICAO, especially:

- At ECCAS, the project is anchored on the “2010-2015 Action Plan for Improving Air

Transport in Central Africa”. This plan, which was adopted by ECCAS Heads of State

and Government by Decision No. 20/CEEAC/CCEG/XIV/09 of 24 October 2009,

sought to make air transport safe, regular and affordable in Central Africa.

- At ECOWAS, the project derives from the Air Transport Action Plan which was

adopted by Member States in 2003, amended successively in 2009, 2011 and 2013, and

Page 15: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

2

which aimed to develop a well-structured regional air transport system with safe,

reliable, effective and affordable air services for all of Africa and well integrated in the

global network, in accordance with the ECOWAS 2020 Vision.

- At WAEMU, the project hinges on the Member States’ “Common Air Transport

Programme” (PCTA) adopted by Decision No. 008/2002/CM/UEMOA of the Statutory

Council of Ministers on 27 June 2002 with two main sector objectives: (i) Develop a

reliable, orderly and effective air transport system within WAEMU area that complies

with ICAO standards; and (ii) Foster the effectiveness of the Civil Aviation

administration and the competitiveness of air transport enterprises and (iii) Render air

transport accessible and affordable to the population of the Union.

The PASTA-CO Project’s design is consistent with the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy and corresponds to

the thrusts of NEPAD’s PIDA, especially the establishment of secured and efficient air spaces and

airports. The Bank’s intervention via this project is in line with the Regional Integration Strategy Paper

(RISP) for Central African whose Pillar II aims to strengthen the institutional and human capacities of

RECs. It is also consistent with the Regional Integration Strategy Paper for West Africa whose Pillar

II targets institutional capacity-building and support for regional initiatives and mechanisms to

integrate the global economy. The project is aligned to the Bank Group’s Long-Term Strategy and

consistent with its sectoral focus on infrastructure with particular emphasis on regional integration.

The project outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air

transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to improve air transport safety and the

liberalization of cross-border air transport services in these regions to support trade, tourism and

investment

Key Development Issues

Several conferences of African Ministers in charge of air transport have been organized jointly by the

African Union and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) to lend fresh impetus to the air

transport sub-sector. These past few years, some improvements have been noted in the operation of

airlines. Many countries have complied with ICAO requirements by setting up autonomous civil

aviation authorities, and there has been a trend towards concession of airport management. Some

invested in improving air navigation services. Nevertheless, safety and security remain major

challenges to be addressed. Thus, ICAO reviews conducted in the WCA region in the form of USOAP

audits highlighted these countries’ deficiencies in the field of air safety and security.

Regarding airport infrastructure, only 4 out of the 69 airports covered by ICAO in the region are

certified as compliant with ICAO safety standards.

According to ACI’s 2014 classification of the 50 most frequented airports of Africa, 14 were from the

West and Central Africa region.

It was noticed in most major airports that: (i) runways and aircraft parking areas are not maintained,

resulting in a rundown pavement system; (ii) technical buildings are non-standard, with degraded

control towers (control block) that no longer offer the required 360° panoramic visibility; (iii) control

positions are unsuitable due to narrow lookouts and obsolete consoles; (iv) navigation equipment is no

longer compliant and is insufficient or non-existent for all platforms, making air navigation uncertain

across the entire air space.

It follows therefore that few airports have obtained the FAA Category 1 certification (Abidjan, Accra,

Lagos and Banjul, etc.) and some have lost it. Others need to meet regulatory standards for Annex 14

Page 16: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

3

(Aerodrome) compliance and subsequent certification. According to ICAO, only 40% of African

airports are compliant with safety standards, compared to 60% on a global average. To remedy this

situation, ICAO plans to certify all airports by 2019 and raise the percentage of compliant airports to

the global average by 2020.

With regard to air safety, although 2012 was the safest year in aviation history, the accident rate in the

Africa Region was higher comparatively, rising from 3.27 in 2011 to 3.71 in 2012 which remains the

highest rate globally.

The accident ratio for all types of aircraft more than doubled in the region (6.17 in 2011 to 12.44

accidents per million flights in 2012), with 13 accidents in 2012 against 8 in 2011. It is noteworthy

that air companies listed in the IOSA register had no accidents (39 companies registered to date

including 22 members of AFRAA).

In May 2012, IATA, ICAO and other organizations adopted a Strategic Action Plan for Improving

Safety in Africa which aimed to address safety weaknesses and strengthen safety oversight capacity in

the region by 2015. The plan, adopted in July 2012 by the African Union Ministerial Conference on

Safety and Security in Africa as an integral part of the Abuja Declaration, was approved at the African

Union General Assembly in January 2013.

1.2. Rationale for the Bank’s Involvement

The 25 WCA countries have a population of about 463 million, corresponding to nearly 35% of the

total population of Africa. These 25 States account for roughly 45% of the continent’s Gross Domestic

Product (GDP). WCA has a total area of 11.74 million km² and average population density of 39

people/km². The economic mainstay of WCA countries is agriculture, which employs close to 65% of

the labour force. The combined agricultural, mining, fishery potentials and human resources of WCA

countries should help in their significant development.

However, this prospect is blighted by air transport issues observed to varying degrees in these countries

including: high rates, insufficient inter-State links, dilapidated airport infrastructure, inadequate

assistance in air navigation, proliferation of airlines operating poorly maintained aircrafts and scarcity

of financial resources.

In order to help address these inadequacies, the Bank financed the Air Safety Oversight Capacity-

Building Programme in West and Central Africa (COSCAP) which made it possible to: (i) harmonize

the 3 RECs’ technical regulations with the training of regional inspectors to carry out inspections and

audits based on ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices; (ii) harmonize economic regulations

related to air transport in West and Central Africa; (iii) put in place regional air safety oversight

agencies in ECOWAS (Banjul Accord Group States), CEMAC and WAEMU; (iv) establish air

transport units within RECs; (v) support the implementation monitoring of some aspects of the

Yamoussoukro Decision related to air transport liberalization in each of the three RECs.

This project is a logical follow-up to COSCAP one of whose main goals was the setting up of regional

civil aviation safety oversight agencies in Central and West Africa so as to ensure that Member States

comply with ICAO standards, consolidate these achievements and thereby contribute to improving air

transport safety, security and efficiency. The aim will be to: (i) build the oversight capacity of Regional

Air Safety Agencies set up; (ii) contribute to airport safety and security improvement by support; (iii)

Page 17: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

build the capacity of key air transport stakeholders in the regions concerned; and (iv) provide support

to the air transport policy coordination mechanisms in the regions.

1.3. Aid Coordination

ECOWAS and WAEMU Commissions and the ECCAS Secretariat General currently receive support

from major donors, namely the Bank, the European Union, the French Development Agency and the

World Bank. This support is focussed mainly on areas such as governance, trade facilitation, regional

integration, peace and security, natural resources management and environment and the bulk of this

support targets capacity building.

The lack of an integrated multi-donor assistance framework remains one of the main weaknesses of

the current donor support for these communities. In the air transport sub-sector, aid coordination is

done through annual meetings of Joint Technical Committees (JTC) of projects, the Yamoussoukro

Decision Coordination and Monitoring Committee (CCSDY) and annual meeting of the Council of

Civil Aviation Ministers tasked with monitoring the implementation of this Decision. The last two

Bank operations aimed at building the capacities of the sector actors are the ECCAS (PARCI)

Institutional Capacity Building Project and COSCAP-WAEMU-CEMAC-ECOWAS. This

coordination effort will be stepped up during joint supervision missions of this project designed to

complement the Bank’s and other partners’ operations. The project being trans-regional in character

can guarantee that the Regional Economic Communities will work closely together.

2.1.4. The details of some key activities are given in Annex II.

2.2. Technical Solutions Adopted and Alternatives Explored

2.2.1 Although the causes of the human and financial resource constraints of ECCAS, ECOWAS

and WAEMU in the air transport sector are linked to inadequate management mechanisms, they are

also of a structural nature. Institutional reforms are necessary to address these difficulties. In parallel,

these institutions are in dire need of capacity reinforcement to advance the integration agenda in such

priority areas as air transport development and harmonization of sector policies including those linked

to transport facilitation. Thus, the approach adopted by the project consists in supporting the

implementation of action plans for air transport development in these regions and in providing

technical assistance via organizations such as ICAO and EASA capable of strengthening the existing

capacities of these institutions to enable them carry through the work programmes for key sectors

(infrastructure, transport, commerce, statistics, programming).

2.3. Project Type

2.3.1 PASTA-CO is an institutional support project which, by virtue of its regional dimension and

its objectives, contributes to the promotion of a Regional Public Good. Indeed, it fulfils the conditions

set out in the new Strategy and Policy approved by the Bank in 2014 and the eligibility criteria for

Regional Public Goods (cf. Annex I). The choice of institutional support as the form of intervention

stemmed from the nature of planned activities (technical assistance, studies and training) to be

implemented in several institutions. Through this institutional support, the Bank also intends to

strengthen synergy with the support of other TFPs working to build capacity in agencies tasked with

steering institutional reforms and the support of regional integration mechanisms targeted by this

project.

2.4. Project Cost and Financing Arrangement

The project cost estimates, net of taxes and customs duties, is UA 15.188 million (equivalent to CFAF

11.694 billion at the December 2014 exchange rate of UA 1 = CFAF 769.923). These cost estimates

were based on the unit costs of similar projects in the same area and sector. The summaries of cost estimates by project component and expenditure category are given respectively

2.5. Project Target Area and Beneficiaries

2.5.1 The Project Area (PA) covers the 25 member countries of ECOWAS and ECCAS and a

surface area of 11,740,600 km² (nearly 35% of the total area of Africa). The target population is about

463 million people. The project’s main direct beneficiaries are: (i) the ECCAS General Secretariat;

(ii) the ECOWAS Commission; (iii) the WAEMU Commission as well as NEPAD Regional

Coordination Offices, national focal points of ECCAS and ECOWAS, civil aviation administrations

and the Ministries responsible for Transport, Trade and Regional Integration in ECCAS and ECOWAS

Member States.

2.5.2. The project’s indirect beneficiaries are the population of these countries, women, youth and

the aviation sector that will benefit from a more favourable regulatory environment and basic

infrastructure. Indeed, airlines will benefit from growth opportunities for inter-community exchanges.

2.6. Participatory Approach in Project Identification, Design and Implementation

The participatory approach was respected at all stages of the project. The various stakeholders –

Directorates of Civil Aviation, airlines, officials of regional safety agencies as well as Government

departments responsible for steering the project – were consulted during the project preparation and

appraisal mission. Through their participation, pioneer agencies of the sector such as ICAO, EASA

and ASECNA lent assistance to the project design, especially for the choice of relevant activities in

line with the action plans for improving air transport in the regions concerned. This process will

continue during project implementation.

2.7. Bank Group Experience and Lessons Reflected in Project Design.

Since 1970, the Bank has lent significant support to the air sector, especially by financing 49 operations

including the construction/rehabilitation of airports, installation of navigation equipment, training,

procurement of aircraft and project preparation studies in the sector. This most recent operations

concern the rehabilitation of the Mohammed V airport in Rabat, Morocco, the Praia airport in Cape

Verde, the Air Transport Safety Project in DRC and lastly the COSCAP Project. In Central Africa, the

Bank financed the ECCAS Institutional Capacity-Building Support Project (PARCI) whose experts,

including the Administrative and Financial Officer, the Accountant and the Procurement Expert, will

be placed at this project’s disposal to ensure complementarity of Bank operations.

The design of this project was informed by lessons learned from Bank’s intervention as well as similar

ongoing experiences garnered during implementation of multinational projects.

Lessons learned: These relate to (i) Absence of procurement staff at the level of the RECs, accountant,

secretary, as well as project executing agency staff not trained in Bank rules and procedures; (ii) Weak

capacity of RECs to implement regional projects evidenced in the poor performance of the Bank’s

multinational portfolio; (iii) Absence of a coordination framework during projects involving several

RECs; (iv) Absence of implementation report drafted by ICAO which did not produce timely

supporting technical and financial reports on the use of funds received; (v) Failure to prepare audit

reports and final project implementation reports; and (vi) Noncommittal involvement of States.

Lessons reflected: The following actions were envisaged: (i) Strengthening of teams from the 3

economic communities with procurement and financial management experts coming from other Bank-

funded operations in these regions; (ii) Strengthening of coordination team through targeted support

in terms of short-term consultants and putting in place of technical assistance; (iii) Setting up of a joint

technical committee comprising experts from the three Regional Economic Communities; (iv)

Inclusion in works supervision agreements for some activities undertaken by ICAO and ESEA of a

clause requiring the production of implementation reports and the submission of same for the Bank’s

‘no objection’ before their signature; (v) Financial management modalities include the recruitment of

a single auditor for the three RECs for greater responsiveness regarding the production of reports; (vi)

Participation of country experts, via their civil aviation directorates, in the project design and

participation of these experts in the joint technical committee tasked with project coordination.

2.8. Key Performance Indicators

The key performance indicators and expected outcomes of the project are those stated in the logical

framework with deadlines. The Core Sector Indicators (CSI) on which emphasis will be placed are: (i)

volume of commercial exchanges in Central and West Africa; (ii) rate of non-compliance with ICAO

safety/security indicators in West and Central Africa; (iii) number of airports certified compliant with

ICAO safety and security standards; (v) number of safety and security audits and inspections; and (vi)

the number of local safety teams set up in airports.

For these to be achieved in a timely manner, implementation performance indicators were established

alongside these output indicators and aligned to the Bank’s institutional performance indicators. They

are mainly: (i) the effectiveness time frame; (ii) the deadline for fulfilment of conditions precedent to

first disbursement; (iii) procurement deadlines; (iv) the average implementation progress (IP)

indicator; (v) the disbursement rate versus expenditure schedule; and (vi) submission of quarterly

Page 22: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

9

progress reports as well as audit reports. These indicators will be monitored during supervision

missions and the day-to-day management of the project.

III. PROJECT FEASIBILITY

3.1. Economic Benefit

Although this project is an institutional support and economic and financial analysis does not apply to

it, its economic rationale rests mainly on the expected effects of reinforced air transport safety and

security. These effects will have an impact on commercial exchanges and knowledge/manpower

mobility. Further, by financing regional safety oversight agencies, PASTA-CO will help West and

Central African States to meet their obligations under the Chicago Convention (and Annexes) and the

Yamoussoukro Decision. Each will benefit from a strengthening of its own safety and security

oversight capacities (thanks to training of its technical staff). Operationalizing the three regional

agencies will allow for self-funding of activities (especially certification), which will generate new

revenue and contribute to sustaining air safety oversight in the region. Certification or audit agencies

of other continents (FAA, EASA), as participants in their operationalization, will facilitate mutual

acceptance of audits and certificates issued and help avoid arbitrary delays. Lastly, the improvement

of civil aviation safety and security is closely related to the decrease in transport costs. The poor

safety/security-related performances of WCA countries make local companies less competitive

compared to major international companies.

3.2. Environmental, Social and Gender Impact

3.2.1 Environmental Impact: The project is expected to contribute to positive impacts on the

environment, especially through: (i) a decrease in CO2 emissions due to the compliance of airport

infrastructure (phasing out of very old, high-fuel-consuming and very noisy aircrafts still in operation);

(ii) the reduction of noise pollution and better protection of residents through respect of aviation

paths; and (iii) support in communicable disease control in airport areas. The project will enhance air

transport effectiveness and efficiency in West and Central Africa, thereby helping to support green

growth in those regions.

3.2.2 Social Impact: The improvement of aerial safety will facilitate the free movement of goods

and people. The expected positive effects are: (i) improvement of air transport safety conditions and

increase in air travel by the population; (ii) increase in agricultural revenues since perishable products

(fruits and vegetables, tropical flowers, meat and fish) will be exported by air freight and tourism

development (hotels, means of land transport, natural and cultural sites, handicrafts); and (iii) optimum

accessibility of Member States, and increase in South-South and North-South commercial exchanges.

3.2.3 Impact on Gender: The three Regional Economic Communities each have a gender policy.

Concerning institutional support, supported activities concern: (i) the drafting of the action plan of the

WCA gender policy in the transport sector; and (ii) training on gender issues in regional transport

projects. The project’s training component will reach out to 40% of women. To tackle the challenge

of the near-absence of gender-disaggregated data in the air transport sector, a diagnostic study of the

gender situation in air transport in West and Central Africa will be conducted.

3.2.4 Forced resettlement: The project will not lead to population displacement.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION

4.1. Implementation Arrangements

4.1.1. The project executing agencies are: (i) the ECCAS General Secretariat, through the

Department of Physical, Economic and Monetary Integration for components concerning the ECCAS

zone; (ii) the ECOWAS Commission, through the Directorate of Transport for components dealing

with Banjul Accord Group and Yamoussoukro Decision implementation support; and (iii) the

WAEMU Commission through the Directorate of Air Transport of the Department of Community

Territorial Development and Transport for project components concerning WAEMU and Mauritania.

4.1.2. During implementation of COSCAP, separate air transport units were created within the

ECOWAS and WAEMU Commissions. These will be the project management units. These units will

be reinforced by administrative and financial officers and procurement experts involved in other Bank

operations in these regions in a spirit of complementarity. As concerns the specific case of ECCAS, a

civil aviation engineer will be recruited in accordance with Bank procedures.

4.1.3. A Joint Technical Committee (JTC) will be set up bringing together designated experts from

the three Regional Economic Communities as well as representatives of beneficiary States through the

civil aviation departments. This JTC will be a regional framework of project coordination but also a

forum of exchange among the various Regional Economic Communities. The terms of reference of

this Committee feature in the technical annex of this report.

The involvement of RECs is based on the following principles:

NEPAD, which advocates the building of infrastructure as part of a regional development

vision;

The Yamoussoukro Decision on the liberalization of the air transport market in Africa

(1999) that binds AU Member States, the implementation of which at the level of each

region of Africa falls under RECs;

The need for Member States to pool their resources and work together to build on the

development of international air transport towards liberalization and globalization;

Recourse to RECs helps to make up for African States’ low income and to optimize the

gain expected from expenditure in the area of Air Transport through the pooling of

resources at community level.

4.1.4. As part of implementation of activities for the operationalization of regional air transport

safety oversight agencies, training of national inspectors in air safety, safety audits and APEX reviews

linked to airport certification, in addition to the agencies which will be directly involved, technical

assistance will be sought from ICAO as well as EASA which will be entrusted with the role of project

manager for these aspects. These interventions will be effected through technical assistance

agreements to be signed with the RECs. ICAO is indeed the specialized United Nations agency that

determines Standards and Recommended Practices (SARP) applicable worldwide by all Contracting

States and which covers all key aspects of international aviation. ICAO has extensive experience in

civil aviation development projects in Africa and the Indian Ocean. ICAO’s Directorate of Technical

Cooperation (TCB) has unique capacity to impartially administer complex organizational and

Page 24: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

11

infrastructural development projects in the sector. The European Civil Aviation Agency (ESASA) is

currently implementing a similar project in Central Africa with European Union funding to which this

operation will be complementary.

4.1.5. Procurement Method

In light of the multi-regional character of this initiative which involves three Regional Economic

Communities (RECs) – ECCAS, ECOWAS and WAEMU – and to ensure overall coherence in project

implementation, especially for subsequent control and audits, all procurement will be in accordance

with the Bank’s Procurement Rules and Procedures.

Besides, the air transport agencies of the three RECs will be responsible for procurement activities,

relying on the organization in place in each of the RECs for that. These are: (i) the ECCAS Directorate

of Infrastructure; (ii) the ECOWAS Air Transport Unit; and (iii) WAEMU Directorate of Air

Transport. It is noteworthy that ASSAC and BAGASOO procurements will be handled via existing

mechanisms of ECCAS and ECOWAS respectively. ICAO and EASA will be retained based on

agreements, to carry out specific activities within their respective mandates and spheres of competence.

To allow for a seamless implementation of the project, RECs have committed to keep up the agreed

procurement capacity, ensuring especially the existence of a procurement specialist and a formal

organization that defines the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the procurement process.

Lastly, detailed arrangements, including mechanisms for Bank consideration (prior or ex-post) are set

out in the technical annex on procurements and agreed upon through the procurement plan.

4.1.6 Financial Management and Disbursements

Based on project implementation modalities, each of the three RECs (ECCAS, WAEMU and

ECOWAS) will be responsible for the financial management of project activities in its region. Project

activities will be implemented by staff in service placed under the authority of the Administrative and

Financial Officer, for the ECCAS Financial Pool; the Head of the External Funds Management Unit,

for the ECOWAS Finance Department; and the Head of the Settlements and Budget Implementation

Monitoring Division, for the WAEMU Commission Department of Administrative and Financial

Services.

Funds will be disbursed at the Bank by the special account method (mainly for operating costs) and

the direct payment method (for procurement of goods and services and other relatively high

expenses...).

The existing fiduciary arrangements in the three RECs have been deemed acceptable in light of the

Bank’s minimum requirements as defined in the Policy on “Financial Management of Projects

financed the African Development Bank”, adopted in February 2014.

The fiduciary risk evaluated for the project’s financial management is substantial for all RECs. When

the mitigation measures and action plan found in the annex are implemented, the financial management

arrangement designed for this project will furnish with reasonable assurance financial information that

is reliable and compliant with the relevant Bank minimum requirements.

4.1.7 Audit Arrangements

Page 25: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

12

Audits will be performed annually by an independent external audit firm, which will be recruited on a

competitive basis pursuant to standard Bank terms of reference. The WAEMU Commission will recruit

the project’s external auditor for the other entities; thus, a single auditor will be recruited and within

six (6) months following project effectiveness, in close consultation with the other project executing

agencies and pursuant to Bank procedures. The terms of reference of the project external auditor will

be harmonized to factor in each executing agency’s specificities and approved during negotiations for

the recruitment of an independent firm with experience in auditing Bank-funded projects. Each entity

will design TOR applicable to its structure. Audits will comply with ISA/ISSAI standards. National

auditing standards that are mainly compliant with ISA or ISSAI standards will also be accepted. Audit

costs will be borne by the project. Financial statements audited by the independent firm will be

forwarded to the Bank within six (6) months following the closing of the relevant fiscal year by each

entity (see detail in technical annex B6).

4.2. Monitoring and Evaluation

4.2.1 The implementation of the project components will be monitored by air transport units. Joint

supervision missions (donors and RECs) and inter-donor coordination meetings will also allow for

reporting on the project’s performance in terms of physical and financial outputs.

4.2.2 Project monitoring by the Bank will be through sustained dialogue with the authorities,

especially through its Field Offices and during supervision missions. The project’s physical

implementation is expected to span a period of 48 months from June 2015 to June 2019. This

implementation schedule is deemed reasonable given the nature of reinforcement activities to be put

in place, the action plan and the time needed to set up related systems in the three Regional Economic

Communities. The tentative key milestones are presented in the following table:

4.3. Governance

4.3.1 The project’s governance risks are linked with procurement decisions, the use of project assets

and the selection of persons to be trained abroad or to benefit from capacity-building. These risks will

be mitigated through preparation of a detailed procurement plan, strict selection of participants and

enforcement of standard Bank rules and guidelines with the assistance of ICAO. More advanced

training will be offered to project staff members so that they are fully informed of requirements and

regulations. Compliance with these control arrangements will be reviewed during supervision

missions.

4.3.2 With regard to financial governance, project executing agencies will keep separate accounts

for the project using appropriate accounting software allowing for cost accounting and the production

of reports that indicate expenditure by component, by category and by source of financing. Project

accounts will be audited annually by an audit firm recruited for that purpose. Financial monitoring

reports (FMR) and annual audit reports will be forwarded to ADF within forty-five (45) and six (6)

days respectively, following the closing of the accounting period.

4.4 Sustainability

If implemented, the project will contribute to enhancing the institutional effectiveness of the

ECCAS General Secretariat, WAEMU Commission and ECOWAS Commission. This will be

reflected in net improvements in the design and monitoring of regional infrastructural development

projects – key aspects of the integration agenda, considering the expected impact on the movement of

people and goods – as well as in communication quality and cost. The project will also allow for better

reflecting in these programmes Member State Governments’ concerns about capacity-building for all

stakeholders in the monitoring-evaluation process and policy harmonization. Emphasis will be placed

on harmonizing the action of CEMAC and ECCAS, and WAEMU and ECOWAS in order to forge

greater cooperation and synergy among them and thus move towards the common goal of creating a

common market of Central and West Africa, as a prelude to the African Common Market – the AU’s

Minimum Integration Programme (MIP) target for 2020.

Lastly, project sustainability depends on the funding mechanisms of new agencies. Indeed, if these

new regional agencies have equity resources (from airport fees), they will be more sustainable. Using

the standard fees and charges, these agencies will help to ensure the improvement of airport services

and the sustainability of investments. In addition, the delegation of works supervision to ICAO and

EASA will contribute to the availability of proven skills (initial and continuing training), to guarantee

a high level of service that better takes users’ expectations into consideration. This technical assistance

will boost the likelihood of sustaining project outputs.

4.5 Risk Management

4.5.1 The following table summarizes residual risks (other than those related to governance and

sustainability) as well as mitigation measures.

14

4.5.2 The above analysis reveals that project risks are relatively high. Nevertheless, the outputs

achieved by ECCAS, WAEMU and ECOWAS and the regional context argue in favour of Bank

support to the project, in light of the expected significant progress in terms of institutional effectiveness

and REC ownership of this operation and ongoing NEPAD projects and considering the Bank’s

commitment to see the mutation of these RECs through as part of its mandate and regional integration

strategy.

4.6. Knowledge Building

The project design has benefited from the assistance of ICAO, ASECNA and EASA. This will mainly

entail the dissemination of good practices in air transport programme management in Member States

of the three RECs and in the production of quality internationally-compliant statistics and data in the

sector. These practices will be disseminated in Government departments of member countries through

distribution of documents produced, procedure manuals as well as training sessions that will be

organized during the project. This knowledge and the lessons learned will be disseminated within the

Bank and in beneficiary countries.

I

Annex I

Selection Indicators Remarks

A. Absence of rivalry:

One party can enjoy benefits without these

benefits being (much) less available for the

other parties

The project outcomes are: Outcome 1 : Improvement of the level of air transport safety in West and Central

Africa zone

Outcome 2 : Improvement of air transport services

Outcome 3 : Modernization of airport infrastructure and compliance with ICAO operational standards

None of these outcomes is so rare as to trigger rivalry and they will

benefit users but without impacting quality and quantity

B. Absence of exclusion :

It is hard or too costly to keep the others out

It is impossible to prevent non-participating

countries/communities from enjoying benefits generated by the

project. In fact, the improvement of air transport services in WCA

countries will also benefit other countries/communities they have

air links with

C. Public interest and ownership

-great public interest and a huge advantage

-there is proof of ownership by beneficiary

countries/regions

Huge benefits and strong ownership; the project will be

coordinated by the three RECs. Airport safety in each country

involved will be managed by a dedicated regional agency as well

as national safety/security oversight bodies and the market

regulation function

D. Regional dimension:

-Must involve at least two countries The project involving the 25 countries of WCA region requires the

involvement of all countries for its optimum implementation

-Can only be effectively implemented if each

country involved participates and supports its

production

E. Strategic alignment:

BPR must be in line with the Bank’s strategic

guidelines

The project is fully consistent with the Bank’s integration strategy

targeting better quality regional transport as a driver of integration.

The project was also selected by PIDA to develop the intra-African

transport market through implementation of the Yamoussoukro

Decision on air transport market liberalization and improvement

of air transport safety and security

F. Upstream and catalysing role:

The Bank support aims to correct the deterrent

effects that impede BPR or progress towards it,

due especially to the lack of coordination, the

fear of risk and the problem of fare-dodgers

The Bank’s support aims to remedy weaknesses observed in safety

and effectiveness currently impeding the development of the air

transport market

Rationale for the Operation’s Eligibility for Regional Public Goods

II

G. Benefits flowing gradually from

cooperation:

The impact in terms of expected development

of cooperation among countries is clearly

higher than the net positive benefits each

country can obtain acting individually

The project’s benefits are higher (greater effectiveness) than those

that each country can obtain acting alone without cooperating with

other countries, particularly in terms of the harmonization and

implementation of safety and security regulations

H. Effects on development:

- Strengthening of governance

(adoption of health financial

practices; Harmonization of

governance practices;

abolition of trade barriers;

Creation of jobs)

- Knowledge building

(Optimization of data

collection; Dissemination of

best practices; brain drain)

- Environmental sustainability

and climate change

(Sustainable livelihoods;

capacity-building ; Adaptation

to climate change and

resistance to climate variations)

- Protection of human health

(study of homes; Limitation of

contagious diseases;

development of new treatments

or vaccines)

- Regional integration

(Promotion of trade;

Strengthening of safety;

Development of the private

sector)

The project will have a considerable impact on development, both

directly, by protecting human life (e.g. travellers), and by

strengthening sector governance. The participation of regional

communities and establishment of dedicated regional oversight

bodies will facilitate the collection of information on air transport

safety/security levels in the WCA space.

In addition, by ensuring safer and more affordable air transport, the

project will contribute to the promotion of intra-African trade and

greater safety. Market development will in turn attract private

investments in this sub-sector

Annex II

Detailed Description of Key Activities

Component A: Capacity-building and support for Regional Aerial Safety Agencies

1. ASSAC – ECCAS and ACSAC-WAEMU

This support consists in the formulation of rules and related guides, the training of senior staff and

regional inspectors for agencies, the installation of technical management tools and the

establishment of a regional database on air safety. This will involve operationalizing the new

agencies through organizational support and staff training.

Specific activities planned

Technical activities are planned for the following aspects:

a) Institutional support to agencies

Institutional support concerns:

- Support for putting in place steering organs and tools;

- Equipment (high level IT equipment, software, office automation, furniture…);

It will also be necessary to ensure effective coordination between Member States and the agency

which should lead these States to delegate at least some of their operational regulatory, certification

and oversight activities.

b) Regulation

This will involve the assessment of instruments prepared at the level of the Regional Economic

Communities, especially the Community Aviation Rules covering ICAO Annexes 1, 6, 8 and 14.

Works will mainly concern aviation personnel licensing (PEL), technical aircraft operation (OPS),

air navigability (AIR) and airports and ground assistance (AGA) and will have a two-fold focus:

regulatory instruments and related inspector manuals. Without these two components, it will be

impossible for national and regional inspectors to successfully discharge their obligation of

overseeing aviation activity in the region. Should RACs be adopted before the project becomes

effective, the first phase of works will centre on inspector manuals.

c) Safety data

This will involve installing an IT tool for safety data monitoring, a tool that integrates the regional

dimension. The tool will be deployed as technical prerequisites are in place, in particular IT

equipment or internet connection.

The use of the SOFIA software at the country and regional levels will allow for the harmonization

of practices at regional level as well as the follow-up of the resolution of safety problems mainly

in the areas of PEL, OPS and AIR.

Page 32: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

IV

Alongside deploying SOFIA, assistance will be provided to implement ECCAIRS and establish

the database.

Training

During ICAO’s USOAP audits, it emerged that staff training was the weak link for many Member

States. Other critical elements (often the most affected also) include certification, oversight and the

follow-up of disparities in the areas of PEL, OPS, AIR and AGA. It is also noteworthy that these

are particular areas that agencies will cover.

Since human resources are crucial to the effective establishment of a regional safety agency,

training is a key element of this project.

The planned training concerns two staff categories:

- technical staff of agencies, and

- inspectors of civil aviation authorities in WCA States.

The project start-up phase will aim at specifying the type of training to be offered and the profile

of staff to be trained. Trainings offered in French will mainly be in the fields of PEL, OPS, AIR

and AGA, and will be supplemented by more targeted trainings in related fields. The objective will

be to upgrade the skills of regional and national inspectors to enable them to efficiently oversee air

transporters, maintenance agencies, training centres and airport operators.

2. BAGASSO (Regional Aerial Safety Oversight Agency of the Banjul Accord Group States):

Support for the implementation of the Agency’s Strategic Development Plan

Activity 1: Resolution of serious safety problems

The goal of this support is to enable the BAG States, namely, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia

which are currently on the ICAO list of States having serious safety concerns (SSC), to build their

capacity in certification and oversight. This should ultimately enable these States to get off the list.

Specific actions:

- Drafting of an appraisal report on the current state of safety oversight capacities of

States;

- Putting in place of a certification process compliant with ICAO standards;

- Design of technical guidelines for conducting certification pursuant to ICAO

standards;

- Publication and dissemination of guidance materials for relevant sections ;

- Putting together of the inspector’s toolkit containing procedures, control lists and

CEA (Airworthiness Certificate) forms for national inspectors;

Page 33: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

V

- Training of national inspectors in the 5 phases of the certification process.

A. Activity 2:

The objective of this support is to strengthen the safety oversight capacity of BAG Member States

through delivery of effective ICT services, including aviation software packages, an aviation

tracking system and regional aviation register allowing for the real-time tracking of aviation

activities.

Specific actions:

1. Regional monitoring software

a. Aircraft safety assessment;

b. Putting in place of the register of air operators and approved maintenance agencies.

2. Dissemination of information

a. Establishment of a computerized training platform (CBT).

b. Opening of a technical library.

A. Component B: Studies and institutional support for air transport programme

monitoring and coordination. Adoption of technical safety rules and related procedures

This involves pursuing activities aimed at preparing and adopting civil aviation safety rules to

ensure that areas outlined in ICAO’s 19 Annexes are covered by community rules.

Activities to be undertaken mainly concern workshops to prepare, consider and validate rules to be

enforced within the community space.

B. Capacity-building for civil aviation administrations

This involves assisting Member States to implement new concepts and programmes designed by

ICAO. Identified actions include: (i) Training in community civil aviation safety regulations; (ii)

Support for the activities of USOAP ongoing surveillance method; (iii) Support to put in place

national safety programmes (NSP); (iv) establishment of regional expertise on dangerous goods;

(v) Assistance in the delivery of operators’ SMS; (vi) creation of a databank on safety.

Page 34: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

VI

C. Strengthening of capacities to investigate aviation accidents and incidents

This activity will comprise actions undertaken to build Member States’ capacities to investigate

accidents through seminars and workshops organized in cooperation with ICAO and renowned

investigation bureaus and to re-update the ACIP/ICAO study undertaken in 2010.

The following activities are envisaged: (i) Sensitization and training seminars on accident

investigation; (ii) Update of the 2010 ACIP/ICAO study on the creation of a regional accidents

investigation agency; and (iii) Study validation workshop.

The Search and Rescue (SAR) arrangement will also be reinforced and a regional SAR cooperation

and coordination mechanism put in place.

D. Support for implementation of the CAPSCA programme

Pursuant to Article 14 of the Chicago Convention on civil aviation, ICAO Member States

committed to take effective measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases through air

travel including Ebola fever.

CAPSCA (Cooperative Arrangement for the Prevention of the Spread of Communicable Disease

through Air Travel) Programme is already in force in the 191 Member States of ICAO and gives

rise to meetings, training workshops and seminars.

Issues related to diseases spread through air travellers will be included in the ICAO Audits

agreement as from 2013. This project, formulated as the Ebola epidemic, continues, will support

RECs in accompanying their Member States through implementation of the following activities:

- Training of CAPSCA technical advisers;

- Sensitization seminars in Member States;

- Conduct of inspection and assistance missions in Member States;

Component C: Support for the certification and compliance of ECCAS and ECOWAS

Member States’ international airports

This involves the compliance of the main airports of ECOWAS and ECCAS Member States.

Twenty (20) airports of the region were identified in collaboration with the RECs and ICAO to

benefit from this assistance.

Four (4) major actions were identified:

- APEX safety and security review and conduct of a compliance study of the

region’s airport and aviation infrastructure with a view to defining a programme to

upgrade airport and aviation infrastructure/installations and aerial navigation

services:

consultancy service to conduct a diagnostic study, assess needs and prepare a

Page 35: e MULTINATIONAL-WAEMU-ECOWAS-ECCAS · outcomes will contribute to the objective of action plans for the development of air transport in the three Regional Economic Communities to

VII

compliance programme/plan;

study feedback workshop and validation of the compliance programme;

prospecting for financing (organization of roundtables, preparation missions

targeting Technical and Financial Partners).

E. Member States’ Audit and Inspections Programme

The safety audit and inspection programme was listed among the priority actions of the Common

Air Transport Programme in West and Central Africa in order to address inadequacies observed

during ICAO safety audits and bring on board new measures adopted by ICAO to bolster aviation

safety. It aims at developing a common civil aviation safety policy in Member States, enabling

them to comply with international standards. Envisaged activities will hinge on:

- harmonizing the implementation of security measures. This will involve:

compliance control of the implementation of security measures;

technical assistance and support missions in Member States;

- strengthening the oversight capacities of Member States;
