  1. Transport Joint Budget Support Review April 2008 Vincent Gatwabuyege SG, Ministry of Infrastructure

  2. Contents • Sector overview • Budget Execution 2007 • Progress • New Developments • Progress against Critical Actions from September 2007 • Decentralization

  3. Sector Overview • Transport costs: more than 40% of the total value of imported or exported goods (between 6.5% and 11% in developed countries) • High transport costs: strong negative impact on economic growth and development • The rolling terrain and heavy rainfall raises the cost of road construction and maintenance to amongst the highest in Africa

  4. Sector Overview Transport: • Road transport: total network of about 14,000 km of which 2,860km classified as national roads, 1,835km as district roads • Air transport consists of two international airports and six aerodromes spread across the country • Lake transport limited mainly to Lake Kivu • No rail transport system

  5. Sector Overview • Road transportation is expensive: GoR considering alternatives • Studies currently underway or planned for large scale regional projects to lower costs: • Isaka-Kigali railway • Oil pipeline between Kigali and Kampala • Lake and river transport on Lake Victoria and Akagera River • New international airport at Bugesera

  6. Key EDPRS Indicators • 31% of Classified Road network rehabilitated and maintained in good condition • 15% reduction in road traffic accidents • 10% reduction in cost of transport for passengers and goods nationally and internationally

  7. 2007 BUDGET EXECUTION • Development Budget: 105% • Recurrent Budget: 108.4%

  12. DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE (Recurrent Budget)

  13. IMPROVEMENT OF TRANSPORT SERVICES (OB, Million RWF )

  14. Progress: Paved road network On going/completed works

  15. Progress: Paved road networkPipeline

  16. Progress: Rural Gravel Road networkOn going maintenance contracts

  17. Progress: Urban Roads • Kigali City • Nyarutarama-Kibagabaga-Remera Road completed • 20Kms paved roads under PIGU • Extension of stone paved roads (RMF, ADB, Community participation) • 36 km road rehabilitation project (Exim Bank). • Other urban entities • Huye: 2 kms of new paved roads ( PIGU) • Rehabilitation of paved roads in Butare Ville, Muhanga, Musanze, Rubavu and Rusizi (GoR, pre-financing arrangements negotiated with SNCPC and STRABAG)

  18. Progress: Rural Gravel Road NetworkTechnical studies on going • Kazabe-Gashubi (54km) • Byimana-Buhanda-Kitabi (98 km) • Cyakabiri-Nyabikenke-Ndusu (75 km) • Gashirabwoba-Nyamirundi (30 km) • Ngorolero-Vunga-Nyakinama (45 km) • Muhazi Lake Ring-Road (98 km)

  19. Progress:Other Activities on the Road Network • Routine maintenance of the national 1135 km paved road network • Multi-year maintenance contracts (renewal on performance basis) to be signed with local contractors: tenders issued May 08 • Bridges • Gashora II and III Bridges under reconstruction • Rusizi Bridges (2): rehabilitation study to be launched within CEPGL context • Rusumo Bridge: maintenance works taking place in 2008

  20. Regional Transport Projects • Feasibility study of Isaka-Kigali Railway: Contract signed, study on going scheduled for completion August 08 • Feasibility study of Isaka Dry Port: Contract to be signed in May 2008

  21. TRANSPORT INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK - Transport Policy finalized, - Routine Maintenance Guidelines (kinyarwanda), to guide rural roads routine maintenance in districts • Capacity Building: • TA to MININFRA:2 GoR, 1 EU, 2 WB • TA to RMF financed by EU • Recruitment of additional staff (7 young Engineers & 1 Economist recruited) additional 5 to be recruited in May 08 • MoU to be signed with NUR

  22. New Developments • Training programmes involving MININFRA and District technical staff • Transport economy, planning, regulations, …) • Specialized training courses in different fields (Road design, construction, maintenance and management )

  23. New Developments • Transport facilitation (simplified border crossing procedures through the One Stop Border Post Programme) • Utilization of modern and efficient equipment to facilitate transit transport: Cargo scanners, electronic cargo tracking system along transport corridors • Regional Integration Programmes (TTCA, TTFA, EAC, CEPGL)

  24. Critical Actions Critical Action 1 • Share the feasibility study of the Bugesera Airport project: Study available on request, info. Shared in DPCG. - PHASE 1COST ESTIMATE FOR : $ USD 177 Million (includes One Terminal, one runway, taxiways) construction period: 36 to 42 months. -PHASE 2 : EXTENSION BUILDING, APRON AND OTHER FACILITIES Cost estimate: $ USD 162,4 Million) -LONGTERM VISION: Ultimate phase: Construction of a second runway and terminal complex (Cost estimate: $ USD 628 Million) -Detailed design to follow: approx 10 months - Prefered funding model: PPP, concession, BOOT • Critical Action 2 • Consider decentralizing budget for feeder roads to districts • Specific budget line for feeder roads in districts in the 2008 budget

  25. Decentralizing budget for feeder roads • District allocations criterias: • Volume of agricultural activities • District size • Population size • Topography • Tourism activities • Existence of other road projects • Minimum allocation: 50 Million RWF • Maximum allocation: 125 Million RWF

  26. Critical Actions 3 • Critical Action 3 • Assessment of the state of the feeder roads network • Assessment carried out by district staff (infrastructure department) completed: Kms 8,000 to be verified and confirmed within the framework of the MOU with the NUR

  27. Critical Action 4 Critical Action 4 • Share information on the functioning of the Road Maintenance Fund (approved action plan, minutes of board meeting, report on implementation of action plan, audited financial statement) • All required information made available • RMF management improved through TA(GTZ and SGI) TA Report available

  28. Critical Action 5 Critical Action 5 • Clarify classified network and responsibilities (Central Gov, districts, MVK urban) • Road network reclassification Presidential order completed, validation workshop held in December 07, to be adopted by Cabinet by end of June. Critical Action 6 • Develop a realistic MTEF 2008-2010 respecting budget constraints and maintenance sustainability • MTEF already developed, in coherence with EDPRS and 2008 Budget allocation

  29. Critical Action 7 • Clarify the criteria for investment choices (develop a strategy based on detailed investment appraisal rules especially for large infrastructure projects in transport and energy)

  30. Criteria's used by Infrastructure sector in line with National Investment Guidelines • Reference documents • Vision 2020 • National Investment Strategy 2002 – Minecofin/CEPEX • Long Term Investment Framework 2006-2020 • Concept Note for Public Investment Policy • EDPRS document • MTEF, etc

  31. Criteria's used by Infrastructure sector in line with National Investment Guidelines (cntnd) • Key guiding principles • Selectivity • Promote Private and Public Private Partnership (PPP) • Decentralization • Program Approach / SWAP • Macro economic equilibrium • Clarity (distinction /identify recurrent costs and investment components)

  32. Decentralization • RWF 3.5 billion allocated to Districts in 2008 Budget • Lack of capacity at district level • MINECOFIN has already disbursed to 27 out of 30 Districts • First EDPRS quarterly report is expected by end of April 2008 • Progressive process based on 2008 experience

  33. EDPRS 2008 - 2012 TWO STAGE FLOW OF FUNDS – 1st STAGE Action Plan and Request of funds
