  1. Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic:a multi-stakeholder effort

  2. East Africa’s Infrastructure: A Regional Perspective

  3. Methodology and approach • Methodology • Data collection by local/international consultants and Bank staff based on standardized methodology • Baseline year for data is 2006, does not reflect subsequent evolution • Approach • Focus on benchmarking ECCAS’s infrastructure against other African RECs and benchmarking ECCAS member countries with each other

  4. Key Message #1 Infrastructure has contributed almost one percentage point in per capita growth in East Africa

  5. Infrastructure contributed almost one percentage point in East Africa’s recent growth spurt

  6. Catching-up on infrastructure could boost growth by almost six percentage points

  7. Key Message #2 East Africa consists of a number of midsized economies

  8. Both typical and unique features of East Africa’s economic geography • Typical African characteristics • 2 countries have economies <$10 billion • 2 countries have populations <10 million • 4 countries are landlocked • Transboundary river basins (e.g. Nile) • Unique geographic features • Number of mid-sized economies • Significant contiguous areas of wealth-generation • Economic activity away from the coast

  9. Topographical profile of East Africa

  10. Spatial distribution of economic activity

  11. Key Message #3 Northern corridor is by far most significant artery for the region

  12. A middling performer on prices and delays associated with road freight

  13. Main northern corridor corridors paved and in good condition, but elsewhere not so

  14. The key sea corridors not always in good condition

  15. Regional traffic largely concentrated on the northern corridor at present

  16. The key corridors vary hugely on traffic volumes

  17. Key Message #4 Regional roads more developed in EAC area, no real connectivity with broader East Africa

  18. Regional road network in EAC, generally in better condition than in the broader East Africa

  19. Marked absence of connectivity between EAC, and broader East Africa

  20. Relatively low traffic on regional roads

  21. Most traffic concentrated in EAC area

  22. Key Message #5 East Africa’s railways do not constitute a regional network and demand relatively low

  23. East Africa has one binational railway, but otherwise networks are not interconnected

  24. Rail productivity measures generally poor

  25. Traffic volumes on East African railways particularly low even by African standards

  26. Key Message #6 Performance and capacity at Mombasa and Dar Es Salaam drive the regional story

  27. Regional ports story is about relative roles of Mombasa and Dar Es Salaam

  28. East African ports are in the middle of the African range, well behind global best practice

  29. Performance relatively good in general, except for Port Sudan

  30. Capacity is a significant issue at both Mombasa and Dar Es Salaam (b) Containers (a) General Cargo

  31. Key Message #7 Vibrant internal air transport market across East Africa

  32. One area where connectivity is strong between EAC and broader East Africa

  33. A medium-sized market with strong levels of connectivity (thanks to Addis and Nairobi)

  34. East Africa features among Africa’s top 60 air transport routes

  35. Strong growth in intra-regional air transport capacity

  36. Strong connectivity with all countries having regular service to both hubs

  37. Dramatic modernization of aircraft fleet

  38. East Africa about half way along with respect to market liberalization

  39. Kenya and Ethiopia still dominant, shifting market shares among smaller players

  40. Air safety standards improving in East Africa

  41. Key Message #8 Regional power trading saves over 10 percent of costs and almost 4 million tons of CO2

  42. Interconnections limited as of today but ambitious plans exist for EAPP/NB

  43. Low access and limited availability of power, relatively good utility performance

  44. Demand for power mostly being met at power pool level but with country variation

  45. Regional power trade saves EAPP/NB US$1 billion a year Note: Numbers include Egypt

  46. Volume traded has potential to increase from 12 to 162 terra-watt hours a year Trade expansion Trade stagnation

  47. Many countries need to invest in cross-border interconnectors and a few in large hydro

  48. Most countries have higher immediate spending needs under power trade

  49. Two major exporters (Ethiopia, Sudan), and one major importer (Egypt)
