Chapter 1. PREAMBLE

The objectives of the Southern Africa Transport and Communi­

cations Commission (SATCC) are included in the Convention on
the Establishment of the Commission of 1980. At the same time
priorities concerning capital investment projects were defined.

On that basis, during the first years o1 SATCC activities the

emphasis was on defining capital investment projects to be
included in the regional programme. Most of the present capital
investment projects were defined by the end of 1981.

From 1982 onwards strong efforts have been made to improve

operational co-ordination. Representatives of various modes of
transport and telecommunications have convened regularly to
discuss various studies or background documentation aimed at
improved operational co-ordination, and to make proposals for
regional action in tbis respect.

Training is one important aspect of SATCC activities. These

efforts have been co-ordinated with the Regional Training
Ccuncil in Swaziland.

Recently postal services and meteorology have been added to the

programme.

Tha number of completed capital investment projects is 17, and

24 projects are being implemented. Altogether 16 studies for
capital investment projects have been completed. The number of
completed general studies is 5 and ongoing studies 12.

Out of the 111 projects included in the programme, 28 are fully

financed, 30 partly financed and financing of 40 projects is
being discussed. For the remaining 13 financing is being
sought.

The planning process being used includes project identification

and analysis, identification of objectives, transport demand
and traffic flows, regional plan, and strategy for development
and implementation programme.

In the strategy adopted in the preparation of this five year

development plan the projects are scheduled in their order of
priority compared with each other and with the national de­
velopment plans using the available data for background in­
formation.
 -2-

In the future the following guide lines shall be followed:

(i) Before any projects are included in the SATCC Regional

Programme of Projects, approval of the relevant Govern­
ment Authorities and an overall national priority
ranking of such projects shall be sought;

(ii) Consideration shall be given to project management as

well aF operation, maintenance and management after the
comple~ion of the project;

(iii) FinancieLZ shall be approached to finance feasibility

and/or engineering studies only if they are prepared to
participate in the financing of the implementation or in
the mobilization of financing from other sources.

Operational co-ordination work by means of meetings of repre­

sentatives of various modes of transport has been going on for
about two years. Considerable progress towards harmonization of
transport nd communications activities has been achieved.
Especially important in this respect have been the efforts to
harmonize the provisions of the law affecting international
operations.

The strategy Lo be applied during the coming five years in

operational co-ordination aims at:

(i) elimination o institutional obstac2es to regional co­

operation and includes harmonization of rules and re­
gulations;

(ii) promotion of bilateral and multilateral agreements for

operations;

(iii) actions related to routing of traffic to regional ports

an,! co-operation between air lines; and

(iv) increasing utilization of regional resources and know

how.

Efforts have been made to improve the existing training fa­

cilities in Member States. The needs for regional surveys on
training for all modes of transport have been identified. A
Study on Port Stbff Training is going on. Other regional stu­
dies are expected to be initiated in 1985.

Since the progress in training activities has been slow, it has

been decided that meetings of representatives of the existing
training institutes shall be organized regularly to speed up
the development of training facilities and activities. A
training expert is being employed in the Technical Unit of
SATCC on a part time basis to assist in this development.

The above experiences and decisions have been used as guide

lines for the preparation of "SATCC Strategies for the Next
Five Years".
Chapter 2. SUMMARY
"SATCC Strategies for the Next Five Years" 1986-1990, will be
devoted towards implementation of programmes developed during
the first five year period of SATCC's existence.

2.1. Objectives and Policies

The basic objectives are listed in the Convention on the Es­
tablishment of the Southern Africa Transport and Communications
Commission (SATCC) of 1980 (see chapter 3, Objectives and
Policies). One of the key objectives is to reduce economic
dependency, particularly, but not only, on the Republic of
South Africa.

Of first priority towards that end is the rehabilitation and

upgrading of the existing facilities and provision of adequate
telecommunications and civil aviation services.
In addition to capital investment projects operational co­
ordination and training shall be included in the strategic
planning of future activities.

The programme is divided into three main activities:

(i) Operational Co-ordination;
(ii) Training; and
(iii) Capital Investment Projects.
Programmes have been prepared separately for surface transport
civil aviation and telecommunications.

2.2. Operational Co-ordination

The general objectives within the Operational Co-ordination

activity are:

(i) Improvement of intra-regional transport and co-operation

in operations through establishment of bilateral and
multilateral transport agreements and by joining in­
ternational conventions;
(ii) Promoting regional co-ordination and co-operation on
maintenance of infraestructure and equipment;
 -4­

(iii) Regional harmonization of standards and specifications;

(iv) Harmonization of rules, regulations and practices re­

lated to operations and maintenance of the infra­
structure and facilities for services.

Specific objectives and detailed programmes for implementation

have been prepared for each transport sector.

The implementation is carried out through meetings of repre­

sentatives of all transport and communications sectors. In
telecommunications these goals are achieved through SATA
(Southern African Telecommunications Administrations) Confe­
rences.

it is envisaged that these groups will be working through out

the coming five year period with the exception of the Wagon
Standardization and Spare Parts Task Group which is expected to
complete their work in 2-3 years.

The work programmes (see Chapters 4.2, 5.1, 6.2 and Annexes 1­
5) are aimed at such co-ordination of activities which make it
possible to reach SADCC policy goals.

Durinq 1985 it was decided that Meteorology and Postal Services

shall be included in the tasks of SATCC.

It is foreseen that meetings will be organized within these two

new sectors to deal with the regional opeLdtion and co­
ordination matters.

2.3. Training

The training projects of SATCC are closely co-ordinated with

the activities of the Regional Training Council for SADCC in
Swaziland.

The main objectives adopted for training are:

(i) Existing institutions shall be used and if necessary be

expanded to meet the total regional needs;

(ii) Training facilities shall be established throughout all

Member States;

(iii) Capital investment projects shall include training

programmes;

(iv) Possibilities Lor regional training facilities shall be

investigated and implemented when feasible.
 -5-

The training activities within SATCC are also dealt with by

sectoral meetings described in Chapter 2.2. above.

Action programmes have been prepared for each sector and

studies on training needs will be carried out on a regional
basis within the coming five years (see chapters 4.3, 5.2 and
6.3).

2.4. Capital Investment Projects

The implementation programme for the Capital Investment Pro­

jects (see chapters 4.4, 5.3 and 6.4) is mainly based on the
following principles, that highest priority shall be given to:

- Rehabilitation of existing facilities and

- Projects reducing economic dependence, and promoting regio­

nal trade.

The capital investment projects are divided into five main

groups:

- Surface Transport Systems

- Civil Aviation
- Telecommunications
- Meteorology
- Postal Services

In the preparation of the five year plan the technical. and

economic feasibilities of the projects have been assessed on
the basis of studies carried out within and outside SATCC and
on the Traffic Forecast prepared by SATCC.

The likelihood of attracting local and/or external resources

has also been considered.

Most of the Projects within the Port Transport Systems have

been scheduled for implementation or initiation of implemen­
tation during 1986-90. Other projects have been regarded as
less important for the fullfillment of the two main objectives
and thus been scheduled for the period 1991-95. Such projects
are mainly projects not included in the Port Systems or the
regional railways or trunk road network. See Tables 1-8.

Other projects are aiming at facilitating the planned export of

e.g. coal and minerals in the future. The projects have been
scheduled in accordance with the national plans in this res­
pect.
 -6-

A large number of projects included for implementation in the

five year plan are financed or financiers have shown firm
interest in giving support.

Within the Telecommunication sector a large number of projects

are currently being implemented. Projects proposed for im­
plementation during the five year period lacking financing are
the ITSC and Earth Station in Tanzania, a Troposcatter link
between Zambia and Angola and the second and third phase of the
National Telecommunications Development Projects in Mozambique
with connections to Neighbouring countries.

The international financing of the projects during 1.985 was in

the order of USD 250 million. Commitments and firm interests
shown indicate that at least the same amount will be available
for 1986 and 1987.

Assuming that financing of this level will be made available

also during the coming years the costs for the proposed five
year implementation programme will be almost fully covered for:

- Nacala Port Transport System

- Dar es Salaam Port Transport System
- Intra Regional Transport System
- Civil Aviation and
- Telecommunications

The most urgent rehabilitation works will also be possible to

carry out in Maputo, Beira and Lobito Port Transport Systems.
In order to cover all the Projects within these systems ad­
ditional funds in the order of USD 150 million p.a. will be
needed from 1987.

2.5. Meteorological Services

Meteorological Services have been added to the SATCC Programme

only in January, 1985. Details concerning the development
strategy are being prepared.
A survey of the existing conditions will be carried out in 1985
in co-operation with the World Meteorological Organization.

2.6. Postal Services

Postal Services were added to the SATCC Programme in January,

1985.

A programme of action for postal services is being prepared

(see chapter 8).
 -7­

2.7. Financing and Implementation

To facilitate the interpretation of the projects included in

the SATCC Programme of Projects Implementation Schedules for
Capital Investment Projects are given in Tables 1-8.

Detailed information on the status of financing and implemen­

tation of various projects with project descriptions are pre­
sented in the Transport and Communications Report for the SADCC
Harare Conference. (Status of SATCC projects).

Chapter 3 OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

In the Lusaka Declaration : "Southern Africa : Toward Econo­

mic Liberation", signed by the Heads of State and Government
of Independent States of Southern Africa at Lusaka, 1st
April 1980, it is stated that the Southern Africa Transport
and Communications Coimnission would be created to coordinate
the use of existing systems and the planning and financing
of additional regional facilities.

In the Convention on the Establishment of the Southern

Africa Transport and Communications Commission (SATCC) the
objectives are set out as follows :

- to reduce economic dependency, particularly, but not

only, on the Republic of South Africa;

- to forge links to create genuine and equitable regional

integration;

- to mobilize resources to promote the implementation of

national, interstate and regional policies;

- to make concerted actions to secure international co­

operation within the framework of Member States strategy
for economic liberation;

- to promote rational and integrated utilization of the

various systems existing in the region;

- to promote concrete development programmes and projects

and the modernization of existing systems;

- to seek participation of the independent states in the

region.

Since the establishment of SATCC in 1980 the Commission has

been working to achieve the above objectives.

At the Ministerial Meeting in Harare, September 1980,

priorities related to capital investment projects were
defined in the following way :

(i) Rehabilitation/upgrading of all existing facilities;

(ii) Establishment of telecommunications links and civil

aviation infrastructures;
(iii) New road, rail, air and lake transport systems where
feasibility studies have already been concluded;

(iv) Feasibility studies for further additions to the in­

frastructure of the region.
 -9­

Rehabilitation/upgrading, which is given the highest

priority, can only be a really efficient measure, if sub­
sequent maintenance and operational efficiency also are
improved, and if training is emphasized.

The policies of action approved by the SATCC Committee of

Ministers in January 1981 include specific recommendations
concerning bctter use of existing systems. It is stated
that: "Transport and Communications bodies of the Member
States shall establish among themselves specific operational
agreements at bilateral or multilateral levels, with a view
to achieving the objectives defined in the Lusaka Declara­
tion for the optimum use of existing systems and to reducing
dependence, particularly but not only, on the Republic of
South Africa".

In the SATCC Progress Report to the Summit in Harare in

July 1981 this policy was repeated in accordance with the
aim of cooroinating the use of existing systems.

It was also stated that among the activities of the Commis­

sion strategic emphasis should be given to matters to obtain
optimum utilization of the existing transport and communi­
cations facilities.

Thus in addition to the capital investment projects opera­

tional co-ordination and training must be ccnsidered and
given priority when outlining the strategic 1lanning of
future activities.

Consequently the SATCC Committee of Ministers has decided

that in order to achieve better co-ordination in operation,
training and implementation of projects, meetings of re­
presentatives of various modes of transport and communi­
cations shall be organized (see figure ). These meetings
report to the SATCC Co-ordinating Committee.

The Technical Unit of SATCC is responsible to the Chairman

of the Co-ordinating Committee.

The Technical Unit has since 1980 been manned by the Mo­
zambican representative and experts from the Nordic Coun­
tries and Italy.This manning of the Technical Unit is
planned to change gradually during the forthcoming five
years primarily due to recruitment of experts from the SADCC
Member States to substitute the expatriates. The objective
is that the Technical Unit be manned only by experts from
the Member States in the future.

Chapter 4 STRATEGIES AND PROGRAMMES FOR SURFACE TRANSPORT

4.1. Goods Traffic Forecast

4.1.1. Introduction

A Goods Traffic Forecast, a Mineral Transport Study and a

Coal Marketing and Transport Study have been prepared by
the SATCC Technical Unit. The aim of this work has been to
determine a common base for future detailed forecasting of
trade patterns of SADCC Member States and on future inter­
national traffic in regional ports and on regional roads
and railways.

4.1.2. Total Traffic Flows

The forecast includes the main traffic flows between the

Member States and the Regional Ports a.id the main findings
of the Coal Marketing an(. Transport Study

Of the total flow less than ten per cent .s estimated to be

transportec by road. ',,he routing of the t.rade flows thus
has been a matter of considering which ports and railways
will be used.

It has been assumed that there will be a gradual shift of

the regional overseas traffic from the South Atrican ports,
presently being used, to those routes, railways and ports in
the region, which offer the cheapest services in accor­
dance with the regional economic principles adopted by
SATCC. No major additions are needed to the regional tran­
sport system to handle the forecast commodity flow but the
existing infrastructure needs considerable rehabilitation
and upgrading.

It is assumed that the ports of Beira and Maputo/Matola will

be improved to allow for large scale exports of coal by the
end of the century.

Estimated future cargo traffic through the regional ports

is presented in the Table below.

4.1.3. Updating and Revision of the Goods Traffic Fore­

cast
The Goods Traffic Forecast Study was compiled on the basis
of the forecasts and information available in the Member
States in 1983, which means that the key figures and basic
socio-economic data are related to the late seventies or
the first years in the eighties.

In the Goods Traffic Forecast Study it has been assumed that

the SATCC plans for rehabilitation of ports and railways be
implemented generally before 1990 and not later than 1995
and especially that the capacity of the Ports of Beira and
Maputo/Matola would be increased to allow for large scale
exports of coal. The implementation of the original plans
has been more slow than anticipated. Therefore the forecasts
have to be amended accordingly.

In addition there is a need to co-ordinate the goods tra­

ffic forecast with the work being initiated in the other
sectors of importance to SADCC.

For these reasons an updating and revision of the original

SATCC Goods Traffic Forecast is needed and expected to be
carried out during 1986/87.

4.2. Operational Co-ordination

4.2.1. Road Infrastructure

The operational co-ordination related to road infrastruc­

ture aims at promoting regional co-ordination and co­
operation with a view to improving and rationalizing road
construction, rehabilitation and maintenance in the Member
States. It is thus intended to provide an essential support
for the performance of the roads sector in the Region in
general and for the implementation of the SATCC Regional
Programme of Projects in particular.

The specific main items dealt with are regional harmoniza­

tion of design standards and work specifications for roads
and bridges, improvement of efficiency of road maintenance
in the Member States by reviewing and rationalizing
criteria, guidelines and methods for planning, management
and execution of maintenance works, as well as follow-up
and review of the status and implementation of the Regional
Trunk Road Network.
The strategic importance of improving the efficiency in the
use of the limited resources, both funding and qualified
manpower, available in the roads sector in the Region, is
 -14­

shown by the fact that the major part of the road projects
in the SATCC Regional Programme consists of rehabilitation
works rendered necessary by deficiencies in road main­
tenance over an extended period in the past. Losses thus
incurred include not only the financial outlays for
habilitation but also the increased vehicle operating co./.s
due to poor road conditions.

The operational co-ordination is mainly implemented through

the meetings of officials responsible for road infrastruc­
ture.

For detailed work programme see Annex 1.

4.2.2. Road Traffic and Road Transport

In this field, the operational co-ordination is basically

concerned with improvement of.efficiency and safety of road
traffic and transport, including in particular the fac­
ilitation of international -oad transport operations in the
Region.

The harmonization is expected to include all basic pro­

visions of the law and regulations related to road traffic,
road signs and signals, licensing of drivers and vehicles,
documents, third party insurance, speed limits, technical
requirements, dimensions, gross weight and axle loads of
vehicles, safety requirements concerning dangerous sub­
stances and special ttansport requiring escort, road user
charges, promotion of road safety and all related matters.

In addition common rules and procedures for intra-re~,ional

transport, road transport agreements, introduction of
common documentation and procedures and facilitation of
border formalities is to be promoted within the SADCC re­
gion. Non-discriminatory practices in the levying of
frontier tolls and in relation to transport routes and
treatment of operators shall be adopted.

These policies are implemented through meetings of offi­

cials responsible for road traffic and transport.

A detailed work programme is prese-nted in Annex 1.

4.2.3. Rail Transport

It is generally accepted that the railways are and shall be

maintained as the backbone of the transport system.

To facilitate the development in the future, the basic

bildteral agreements on operations already made shall be
expanded to cover all aspects of che internatio:nal opera­
tions. Additional agreements are to be concluded where
needed.
 -15-

Standardization of technical requirements and operating

rules as far as feasible will also give advantages in con­
nection with purchase, maintenance and operations. Stan­
dardization is especially important when possibilities for
regional production of items needed by railways are con­
sidered. To facilitate this development, a Study on Rail­
way Rolling Stock, P. 2.0.1, has been carried out and a
study on Regional Wagon Manufacture, P. 2.0.5, is in the
programme.

Main policy guidelines include also

- Adoption of common safety rules and regulations govern­
ing railway signs, signals, rolling stock and transport
of dangerous substances;
- harmonization of legal and administrative requirements
in order to eliminate barriers to flexible operations;

- simplification of documentation and procedures related

to packing, marking and loading of goods and wagons; and
- introduction of non-discriminatory rates, allocation of
storage space and railway rolling stock for emergency
operations on a non-discriminatory basis, and facilita­
tion of the transfer of railway wagons in inter-state
operations.

The railway administrations shall consult each other on

proposed measures that might affect the railway tra.sport
of other Member States, including routing of traffic to re­
gional ports.
These policies are implemented through the Meetings of
Railway Administrations. In addition a Spare Parts Task
Group is included in the Programme. A detailed work pro­
gramme is presented in Annex 2.

4.2.4. Ports and Water Transport

The regional ports are key links in the transport chains
conveying the overseas trade of the region. Thus the same
broad policies and objectives apply to ports and water
transport as to the surface transport system in general.
For the development of a specific port policy the guide­
lines include exchange of information cn port services,
port staff training, harmonization of port regulations and
procedures, simplification of documents related to port
operations, conformance of port statistics, development of
accounting practices, and introduction of cost based
tariffs under harmonized conditions.
 -li'-

Shipping policy guidelines deal with promotion of regional

shipping development and transit traffic flows through :

- establishment of port information centres in the port

organizations with essential telecommunication facili­
ties;

- efforts to make the maximum use of The opportunities

offered by the Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences as
adopted by the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development where it is advantageous to do so;

- advancemen. of shippers organization;

- evaluation of the development of interports; and

- other related matters aimed at speeding up the turnround

of cargo and rolling stock.
To promote concrete operational co-operationr two types of
meetings have been organized:

- Meetings of Port Administrations which will deal with

particular port matters; and

- Meetings on Shipping Development with representatives

of ports, shippers and forwarders as well as shipping
side in the region. This group will deal with subjects
under shipping development and transit traffic flows.

Co-operation on shipping among the Member States is re­

garded as means to achieve maritime services adapted to the
specific needs of the region. A Study on Regional Coope­
ration on Shipping has been initiated.

A detailed work programme is presented in Annex 3.

4.3. Training

4.3.1. Introduction

The main guidelines of the SATCC training activities are

- Training should take place inside the SADCC Region when

possible;

- Existing institutions should be used to the maximum

extent and if necessary expanded to meet needs;
 -17­

- Training of nationals as instructors in all priority

areas is a matter of urgency and should take place with­
out disrupting other essential training, which may have
to be undertaken for the time being in some fields,
using expatriate instructors;

- Training facilities should be spread as widely as poss­

ible throughout all member countries;

- Some training facilities can only be provided on a re­

gional level. The criterias for provision of such
facilities should be clearly defined;

- All capital investment projects should include asses­

ment of the manpower requirements needed to operate and
maintain the facilities and equipment being provided;

- Capital investment projects should include training

programmes for the staff appointed to operate and main­
tain the facilities being provided; and

- The training projects of SATCC should be co-ordinated

closely with the activities of the Regional Training
Council responsible for the overall manpower development
of SADCC.
Training has a high priority in the SATCC Regional Pro­
gramme of Projects.

Before actual training activities can be initiated on a

regional level it is necessary to analyse the training
needs and capacities of existing training institutions in
the different sectors. An inventory in this respect is
being made. Several studies on training have also been
included in the Programme.

The studies arid the implementation of the recommended

training activities will be carried out in close co­
operation with the existing training institutions in the
different sectors.
 -18­

4.3.2. Roads and Road Transport

The training strategies in roads and road transport include the

strengthening of existing training facilities and capabilities
serving the Region both at national and regional levels,
promotion of regional cooperation in training, and inclusion of
training components in capital investment and other projects
where feasible.

The action envisaged for the period 1985-1990 include:

(i) Study on Road Traffic and Transport Training. The study
will cover the following crucial functions serving road
traffic and transport:

- vehicle servicing and repair (workshop personnel)

- management and other functions within road transport

enterprises
- public services in charge of planning, management and
control of road traffic and transport.

It will assess the manpower needs and training capa­

cities in the above fields with the aim of arriving at
concrete proposals and programmes for improving the
existing manpower situation;

(ii) Preparation and implementation of road safety programmes

including education and training of road user- (see
Operational Coordination);

(iii) Formulation and implementation of training projects

based on the results of the Study on Road Traffic and
Transport Training and securing of financing;

(iv) Formulation and implementation of training projects in

the field of road infrastructure e.g. in support of
regional action on design standards, work specifications
arid road maintenance.
4.3.3. Railways and Rail Transport

The strategies and programmes for 1985-1990 include streng­

thening of the existing training facilities.
In addition to the efforts already being made an overall re­
gional review of manpower requirements and training is needed.
To that effect a Study on Railway Training Programmes, P.
2.0.2, is included in the SATCC Regional Programme of Projects.
The Study is being carried out and will give recommendations
on:
 -19­

(i) overall manpower requirements;

(ii) improvement of training facilities and courses with a
view of raising both quality and capacity;
(iii) introduction of new courses for new technologies and
procedures;
(iv) improvements to facilities, buildings, training mate­
rials, models etc.;
(v) training measures on bilateral and multilateral levels
including development of facilities;
(vi) formulation of national programmes on the same basis;
and
(vii) demand for technical assistance and possible training
abroad.

4.3.4. Ports and Water Transport

The overall goals of the training strategies in the ports and
water transport sector is to provide the ports of the region
with adequately trained personnel for all port functions and
levels, and - in the longer term perspective - to make the
region self sufficient as to training institutions and trai­
ners. In addition to the continuous on the job training which
takes place in all the regional ports, either as part of ca­
pital investments in new facilities and equipment or as part of
technical and/or management assistance projects, formal train­
ing is also in dire need of upgrading.
In order to define necessary actions to attain these goals
SATCC has initiated a regional study, P. 3.0.2, Port Staff
Training Programmes, on which work started in September 1983.
Inter alia the study includes:
(i) Inventory and assessment of existing traininq facili­
ties;
(ii) availability of qualified staff;
(iil) quantification of needs for qualified personnel on the
different levels;
(iv) recommendation on measures to be taken; and
(v) time schedules for implementation of proposed program­
mes.
 -20-

Tanzania has a port staff training institute, the Bandari

College. The College was built some years ago but is not
completed and needs already extensive upgrading. At present
mainly clerical courses on different levels are given.

Neither Angola nor Mozambique have any national training ins­

titute. However, in Mozambique there is some institutionalized
training for the middle management staff of the operations and
maintenance departments. The training takes place in provi­
sional localities.

Actions envisaged for the period 1985 - 1990 include:

(i) Rehabilitation, upgrading and staffing of Bandari Col­
lege (P. 3.7.2(10) );

(ii) Establishment of a Port Staff Training Institute for

Mozambique. A pre-project (P.3.5.5) to commence in 1985;

(iii) Establishment of a Port Staff Training Institute for

Angola. A pre-project will be started as soon as the
necessary output has been defined by the ongoing study;

(iv) Support to interim training facilities and staff in

provisional accomodations for use prior to permanent
school facilities can be provided in Mozambique and
Angola;

(v) Continuation of the on the job training activities in

all the ports. Where an expatriate expert is used to
fill the position the assessed time span, needed until
the local counterpart will be able to take over the job,
shall be defined; and

(vi) Training, either formalized or on the job, shall as far

as possible take place inside the region. It is however
envisaged that during the period in question the train­
ing of senior managers and specialists must be supple­
mented by training outside the region.

4.4. Capital Investment Projects

4.4.1. Introduction

This section outlines the strategies and implementation pro­

grammes for capital investment projects within the six surface
transport systems. These are the five port transport systems:
 -21­

- Maputo
- Beira
- Nacala
- Dar es Salaam
- Lobito (inclusive of Port of Luanda)

including regional ports, railways and roads converging on

them; and

- intra-regional surface transport projects which are not

included in the port transport systems.

To achieve the goals of SADCC, the basic strategy is to re­

habilitate and in part upgrade the existing infrastructure to
cope with the traffic demand. Main emphasis will be on the
rehabilitation of regional railways and ports.

The following criteria have been considered in order to es­

tablish priorities and in scheduling of the implementation of
projects:

(i) their contribution to the reduction of the dependence on

the Republic of South Africa;

(ii) the regional importance and impact of the projects,

especially for the land locked Member States;

(iii) the effect of the projects on reduction of transport

costs and improvement of services compared with the
expected traffic flows;
(iv) the national evaluation of the projects within the
framework of national development plans;

(v) relationship with other projects; and

(vi) promoting trade between Member States.

The implementation of infrastructure projects frequently covers

a fairly long period. Therefore the programmes are scheduled
for the periods 1985 - 1990 and 1991 - 1995 and to some extent
for the period beyond 1995.

The strategy takes into account that the development of re­

gional ports, railways and road network shall progress in a
harmonized manner to avoid bottlenecks in the future. Similarly
it has been realized that operational co-ordination and de­
velopment of manpower have to ba promoted at the same time.
 -22­

4.4.2. Maputo Port Transport System

General

The Maputo Port Transport System is serving Southern Mozam­

bique, Swaziland, Southern and Western Zimbabwe, and to some
extent Zambia and Botswana. The port is the main alternative to
South African Ports for overseas traffic. It is also a possible
alternative to South African Ports foi Lccotho traffic.

The projects included in the syst.m aim at improving the

services and reducing the transport costs. This is especially
valid for the port and railway projects.

The Lesotho road projects included in the system are all parts
of the Lesotho main road network. The projects are aiming at
promoting national integration and eliminating the need of
using South African roads for traffic from one place to another
within Lesotho.

It is foreseen that Maputo/Matola Port towards the end of the

centur, shall be the main coal and mineral port for the SADCC
countries, To meer this demand the entrance channel has to be
deepened and the mineral and coal handling capacities increased
considerably.

The transport system includes tnree port subprojects, 11

railway projects and 8 road projects. See Table 1.

Project implementation during the period 1985 - 1990

-------------------------------------------------
Within Maputo/Matola Port System two projects of high priority
are currently being implemented, rehabilitation of the coal
terminal (P. 3.5.1(2) ), and the construction of Container
Terminal including management assistance (P. 3.5.1(3) ).
Towards the end of the period additional handling capacity has
to be made available. Financing for the implementation of the
expansion of handling capacity is being sought.

A study on the dredging of the entrance channel to Maputo/

Matola will szart in 1985 and the implementation is foreseen to
commence in the end of the period (P. 3.5.1).

Within the railway sector high priority is given to emergency

repairs of the Maputo Chicualacuala railway line. Implemen­
tation is scheduled to start in 1985. The emergency repairs
have to be followed by i:ebabilitation of the rest of the line,
which should start in this period and continue in the second
five year period (P. 2.5.6).

Rehabilitation of the Machava - Swaziland Railway should start

in the end of the period. Study and design work is being
carried out in 1985/86 (P. 2.5.1). Within Swaziland Railway
modification of wagons and wagon maintenance is urgently needed
(P. 2.6.1). The same applies to the Mozambican Railways (CFM-
Sul) (P. 2.5.10). Financing for these projects .s being sought.

The Botswana Railways will be fully operated ' Botswana from

January 1987.

An agreement to construct a maintenance depot (P. 2.2.5) has

been signed with DANIDA. Regarding the main line a track re­
habilitation scheme has commenced on the section Gaborone -
Southern Border. The rehabilitation project is foreseen to be
fully implemented in 1995. Additional funds are needed. Re­
habilitation of railway telecommunications facilities (P.
2.2.2) and renewal of the train working system (P. 2.2.4) will
be implemented soon.

Within Lesotho a container terminal with customs facilities (P.

2.3.1) and expansion of oil storage facilities (P. 2.3.2) are
scheduled to be implemented.

In Zimbabwe there are no railway projects within the Maputo

Port System. The Zimbabwe National Transport Study proposes
electrification of the railway section Dabuka-Bulawayo. NRZ is
capable of handling all traffic routed to and from Maputo
without any major new investments.

A road project of high priority is the link between Maputo and

Swaziland (P. 1.5.4 and P. 1.6.1). This project is foreseen to
be implemented before 1990.

Regarding the main roads in Lesotho, upgrading projects are

cuxrently being implemented. In order to continue this work to
cover all projects additional financing is needed (Projects
1.3.1 through 1.3.5). The work is foreseen to continue also
during the 1991-95 period.

Project implementation during the period 1991-95 and beyond

--------------------------------------------------------
Within the railway sector rehabilitation work will continue on
the Maputo-Chicualacuala railway line and the main line in
Botswana.
 -25-

Additional projects to be implemented during this period in­

clude rehabilitation of bridges on railways in southern Mo­
zambique (P. 2.5.6(2) ). A study on this will be made during
the 1985 90 period. Reorganization of Maputo/Matola yards is
necessary in the long run. A study for this project has been
made (P. 2.5.7).
Financing of implementation is needed for all the above pro­
jects. The rehabilitation and upgrading of the main road net­
work in Lesotho will also continue during this period. Addi­
tion',l financing is needed.

4.4.3. Beira Port Transport System

General

Beira Port Transport System is serving Central Mozambique,

Northern Zimbabwe, Southern Malawi and to some extent Zambia.

For Northern Zimbabwe Beira Port is the nearest and cheapest

alternative for overseas traffic. This is also the case for
Zambian goods trapsported by road. For Malawi, Beira is an
alternative to Nacala Port.
The port projects aim primarily at improving the service of the
port, arid making it possible to accomodate larger cargo vessels
in order to increase the coal handling capacity. The use of
larger tank ships will also reduce the cost of mineral oil
products for Central Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The transport
system includes 16 port sub-projects, four railway projects and
four road projects. See Table 2.
A comprehensive 10-year plan is being prepared for the Beira
Port System. A technical co-ordination conference is scheduled
for 1986.

Project implementation during the period 1985 - 90

-----------------------------------------------

The port projects to be implemented during the period 1985-90

are those which primarily aim at increasing the bulk and unit
loads handling capacity.

On the railway side repairs on the Dondo-Zimbabwe Railway are

urgently needed and the rehabilitation of the line is of high
priority (P. 2.5.3).
It is as important to rehabilitate the Beira Malawi railway
line. Rehabilitation work is partly going on between Dondo and
Dona Ana. Financing is being sought. (P. 2.5.4(2) ).

Rehabilitation of the Beira-Dondo section, (P. 2.5.4(1) ) which

serves the needs of both Malawi and Zimbabwe traffic is also of
high priority.
Additional motive power is needed and conversion of Beira
Workshop to handle repair of diesel locomotives (P. 2.5.11) has
also to be made.
 -27-

Additional rolling stock is needed in Malawi (P. 2.4.2). The

project is partly financed. Additional funds are needed for the
remaining part.

The rehabilitation of the road Be-.ra - Chimoio - Zimbabwe

Border (P. 1.5.3) is essential in order to obtain an adequate
road connection between Beira, Northern Zimbabwe and Central
Zambia. A feasibility study for this project has been finalized
in 1985. Financing is being sought for the implementation
which should start soonest.

Project implementation during the period 1991-95 and beyond

---------------------------------------------------------

The improvement of Beira Port will continue during this period.

In the end of the century there will be a need of further
extension of the Coal Terminal to handle large volumes of coal
to be exported from Mozambique.

Further improvements of the railway line Dondo-Zimbabwe Border

are needed in order to reduce the ruling gradients and to
increase the minimum radius. This work should latest be carried
out during the perio 1990-95.

Upgrading of the Road Blantyre-Mulanje,'Milange--Mocuba (P.

1.4.2) is expected to be completed at the beginning of the
period.

The rehab. itation of the Tete-Cassacatiza Road in Mozambique

(P. 1.5.1) is proposed to be made within this period. Financing
for this will be needed.

4.4.4. Nacala Port Transport System

General

Nacala Port Transport System is serving Northern Mozambique,

Malawi and to some extent Zambia. Especially for Malawi the
port of Nacala is of vital importance.

The projects aim at providing modern container handling fa­

cilities at the port an] rehabilitation and upgrading of the
overland transport links serving the port. See Table 3.

Project implementation during the period 1985-90

----------------------------------------------
The container handling facilities of Nacala Port are currently
being implemented (P. 3.5.3). When this project is finalized
the port will have sufficient capacity for the envisaged
traffic needs during the next 10 to 15 years.
 -28-

Rehabilitation of the Nacala - Malawi border railway is cur­

rently being carried out on the section Nacala-Nampula. The
rehabilitation of the remaining section, Nampula-Malawi Border,
should start immediately after the first phase has been fi­
nalized. Additional funds are needed for the second phase (P.
2.5.5).
The Lusaka-Chipata Road connects Zambia with Nacala through the
14alawi railway system (P. 1.8.6). The road is in urgent need of
rehabilitation. Financing is needed.
One more route to the Port of Nacala may be provided by the
road link Karonga-Mbeya (P. 1.4.3).

ponde/Mandimba-Niitande is expected to be implemented during
this period. At present financing of a feasibility study is
being sought.
Reference is also made to the possibility of building a new
rail link Lusaka-Chipata to connect with the Malawi Railways
(P. 2.8.1).

4.4.5. Dar es Salaam Port Transport System

General

The Dar es Salaam Port transport System serves Tanzania and is

the principal outlet for Zambia. It also serves to some extent
Malawi through a road link Chilumba-Karonga-Mbeya.

Project implementation during the period 1985-90

--------------------------------------------
Considerable rehabilitation of Dar es Salaam Port is for.eseen
to take place during this period. It is expected that all
subprojects already financed will be implemented during this
period.

A 10 Year Development Plan on TAZARA Projects has been pre­

pared. It includes seven permanent way and construction pro­
jects (CE), six signolling 2,.d teloc .iu" taLion L", .CI. (ST),
seven motive power, Lolling stock and mechanical equipment
projects (ME) and two general management and training projects
(GM). The projects are priority ranked from 1 to 3.

All Priority 1 pro]ects are proposed to be implemented during

the period 1985-90 and implementation of Priority 2 Projects is
proposed to start during this period.

At a Technical Co-ordination Conference for financiers in

Arusha, Tanzania, on 11-12 April 1985, preliminary pledging was
made concerning 15 out of 22 TAZAAA subprojects. The financiers
will get organized and go straight ahead with preparations for
implementation. Additional financing is sought.

The TANZAM Highway is in urgent need of rehabilitation (P.

1.7.3 and 1.8.8). The work should commence during the 1985-90
period and is expected to continue also during the 1990-95
period. Financing is being sought. The road link Karonga-Mbeya
(P. 1.4.3) will make it possible for Malawi to use also the Dar
es Salaam transport system. Recently completed emergency re­
pairs enable a temporary use of the link while awaiting the
implementation of a permanent link, which should start in the
near future.

Project implementation during the perioC 1991-95 and beyond

--------------------------------------------------------

The rehabilitation and upgrading of Dar es Salaam Port will

continue during this period.

Financing is neeci( for all the sub-projects scheduled for

implementation.

Implementation of Priority 3 Projects within the TAZARA 10-Year

Development Plan will commence during this period. The reha­
bilitation of TANZAM highway is expected to continue.

4.4.6. Lobito Port Transport System

General

The Lobito Port Transport System serves Angola and normally

Zambia. The transport system includes both Lobito and
ports. Lobito port and Benguela Railway are important for Luanda
between Zambia and countries in the western hemisphere duetrade
to
shorter shipping distances than from east coast ports. See
Table 5.

Project implementation during the period 1985-90

Development work is in progress in the port of Luanda (P.

*l 3.1.2). Additional financing is needed in order to finalize the
implementation of the project.
Rehabilitation of the Benguela Railway (P. 2.1.1) was initiated
in 1981. The works have continued in a small scale.
Preparations for full scale rehabilitation to be carried out
during the 1987 - 1994 period are being made and financing for
implementation is being sought.

A Master Plan for Lobito Port (P. 3.1.1) is currently being

prepared.
It is envisaged that the plan will include proposals for im­
provement of the Port and that the implementation will mainly
be made during 1990 - 1995.

Rehabilitation of the Benguela Railway is expected to be com­

pleted during this period.
There are at present no regional roads of adequate standard
connecting Angola with other SADCC countries. The construction
of an all weather road between Kaoma in Zambia and Lumbala in
Angola (P. 1.8.1) is aimed at providing one such link. The
implementation of this project is foreseen to commence in the
1990's.
4.4.7. Intra-Regional Surface Transport System

General

The five transport systems described above aim at securing good

access to the regional ports serving all Member States.

The intra-regional surface transport system together with the

port transport systems form a transport network which serves
the trade within the region. The intra-regional system includes
also links with Namibia.
Inland waterways and coastal transport systems are also parts
of the intra-tegiorial system. See Table 6.
Project implementation during the period 1985-90
---------------------------------------------
Navigational Aids need to be installed along the Mozambique
Coast, (P. 3.5.4). Implementation is expected during this
period. A Buoy Handling and Maintenance Vessel is needed for
the same project (P. 3.5.4(l) ).
A study on development of navigation on Lake Malawi/Niassa is
proposed to be carried out by SATCC (F. 3.7.1). Financing is
however depending on the outcome of the ongoing study on the
Blantyre - Dar es Salaam, Northern Corridor, which to some
extent is expected to overlap the original scope of the SATCC
study.
Also the Study on the Navigability of the Zambezi and Shire
Rivers (P. 3.8.1) should be carried out during this period.

Within the railway sector a number of projects have been

identified in the Railway Rolling Stock Study (P. 2.0.1) and
are proposed to be implemented during the 1985-90 period.

The Ndola - Lusaka Road (P. 1.8.5) and Lusaka - Mongu Road (P.
1.8.7) in Zambia are in need of rehabilitation. Engineering
studies will be made within this period and rehabilitation work
should start towards the end of the period. Financing for the
ilplementation is being sought.

A feasibility study on the Trans-Kalahari Railway has been

completed. Further action depends on the development of the
exploitation of Botswana coal fields.

Within the roads sector the rehabilitation of the Zambian main

roads will continue during this period.

Implementation of the findings of the road studies made during

the preceding period is expected during this period.

Chapter 5 CIVIL AVIATION

5.1. Operational Co-ordination

The policies in civil aviation aim at improving the services
and operation of the national airlines and civil aviation
departments through an extended co-ordination between the
Member States.
On this basis the following principles have been accepted as
guidelines for the development of civil aviation operations
in the region:
(i) co-ordination and integration of the regional flight
schedules;
(ii) preferential treatment to each other in connection of
granting of air traffic rights and other facilities
with a view of increasing the efficiency and de­
creasing the dependence on outside sources;
(4ii) taking measures directed towards aircraft standar­
dization including co-operation in the pre )aration of
technical specifications for the type of aircraft to
be operated;
(iv) granting each other preferential treatment in the use
of maintenance and overhaul facilities and other
services for aircraft, ground equipment and other
facilities;
(v) co-ordination of the plans for rehabilitation and
maintenance of navigational, communication and me­
teorological facilities for the provision of safe air
navigation;
(vi) standardization of civil aviation rules and regula­
tions and fundamental improvement of airport faci­
litation through mutual information exchange.
The target for air traffic co-ordinaticn is a traffic system
that makes it possible to reach any capital within the region
in one day with a weekly frequency justified by actual
demand. With limited resources such a system cai be best
achieved by establishing a traffic hub where flights from all
capitals assemble at the same time.
For passenger convenience regional routes should be operated
by through-going aircraft from the origin to the turn-around
destination, and with full traffic rights on each leg.
 -35-

Regarding joint utilization of maintenance facilities co­

operation is justified only for same type of flight equip­
ment. Thus the maintenance co-operation is entirely dependent
on the flight equipment standardization schedule.
There are a number of reasonably standardized components,
e.g. engines and avionic equipment, suitable for overhaul
within the region- The strategy is to establish a development
plan expressed in maintenance manhours spent within the
region compared with manhours spent outside the region.

The responsibility for the implementation of these strategies

rests with the patLti c ipants to the regular civil aviation
c t i ,j s .
T.1.,

A etai led work " -_ i is presented in Annex 4.

5.2. Traininq Activities

The SATCC Regional Programme of Projects includes a Study on

Civil Aviation Manpower and '[raining Requirements (P. 4.0.6).
Financing is being sought- for the stud',

'Whi I w,ilting f-or Linancing of the study it has been decided

that s;ome preparatory work including up-datinq of manpower
req ui rements should be per formed by the reg 1onal civil
aviation and national a rlines personnel in co-operation with
SATCC Technical Unit and the ICAO OffLice in Nairobi.

The advise of the existing training institutions will be

sought in connection with the Study. Meetings of represen­
tatives of the existing institutions will be organized to
that effect.

Theze are various civil aviation training institutions in the

Region. The ZASTI Institute in Lusaka offers a comprehensive
programme of courses in civil aviation disciplines. A project
regarding an extension of the institute has been included in
the SATCC Regional Programme (P. 4.8.5),. Financing for the
project is beinq sought.

5.3. Capital Investment Projects

Capital investments in civil aviation are almost entirely

related to the building of new airports or rehabilitation of
old airports and airport facilities. See Table 7.

The new airports at Lilongwe and Gaborone have already been

completed.

The new airport at Maseru was opened on the 30th September

1985 and will be completed in 1986 (P. 4.3.1).
The development of the Matsapha airport in Swaziland will go
on until the end of 1987 (P. 4.6.1).
t Rehabilitation of airport lights and navigation, and approach
and landing aids at the airports of Maputo and Beira have
been completed in 1985 (P. 4.5.1/2).
The study on improvement of some Zambian airports (Living­
stone, Ndola and Southdowns) has not yet been financed (P.
4.8.1/2/3).
The new maintenance hangar in Lusaka (for wide-body aircraft)
has to be studied (P. 4.8.4). Financing of the study is being
sought.
A master plan study on the development of Harare airport will
be prepared in 1986. The outcome of this study will show if
there is a need of constructing a new terminal building or if
the reconstruction of the existing terminal will be suffici­
ent for the near ft-ure.
This project must be given high priority in the context of
the co-ordinated and integrated traffic system in the SATCC ­
region, as Harare will be the natural traffic hub. Therefore
it must have a high capacity of transit handling.
Rehabilitation of the Aeronautical Telecommunications and -
Radio Navigational Aids in Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania and
Zambia i's required.

Chapter 6 TELECOMMUNICATIONS

6.1. Policies
SATCC has adopted the following general guidelines to promote
and substantially improve the telecommunications in the
Region, to the benefit of joint economic development:
(i) restoration and improvement of basic telecommunication
services between the countries and areas experiencing
low grade of services;
(ii) complementing the improvement of transport services
with proper telecommunication services;
(iii) establishment of efficient communications between the
landlocked countries and the ports of the region;
(iv) introduction in a large scale of the International
Subscriber Dialling in the region and with the ma­
jority of the overseas countries;
(v) reinforcement of self reliance in respect of the
regional traffic by the completion of the terrestrial
link network, whenever possible, and with improvement
of the interconnectivity of the satellite earth
stations;
(vi) provision of transit facilities within the region so
that calls within the area need not to be routed via
distant transit centres;
(vii) improvement of the reliability and grade of services
to acceptable international level on all traffic
relations;
(viii) minimisation of investment through efficient use of
shared facilities by joint planning and by removal of
obstacles like unduly high transit charges.

This policy is mainly implemented through:

(i) investment projects aiming at the establishment of the

terrestrial PANAFTEL network, installation of satel­
lite earth stations and international switching
centers in all countries;
 -38­

(ii) operational co-ordination aiming at co-ordination of

operational matters, joint planning and common pre­
paration for the new services; and
(iii) training programmes aiming at self-sufficiency of the
Region in the various tlecommunication sectors on
planning, operation and maintenance.

6.2. Operational Co-ordination

Due to the very nature of the worldwide telecommunications
systems, extensive international co-operation is a pre-re­
quisite for efficient service.
Co-operation in operational matters aims at efficiency of the
present services and preparations for new services.

Tne main items for co-ordination are as follows:

- co-ordination and exchange of plans and studies;

- exchange of statistics and data on existing plant and

facilities;
- exchange of trafi.c forecasts;
- maintenance, routing and temporary restoration;

- radio frequency co-ordination; and

- regional training facilities.

Practical arrangements include bilateral contacts, working
groups, ad hoc meetings, regional and global conferences,
seminars and studies.
The implementation of the operational co-ordination policy of
SATCC is being undertaken under SATA (Southern Africa Tele­
communications Administrations) covering the entire SADCC
region.
For detailed work programme see Annex 5.

6.3. Training
Training still remains one of the basic needs of the region
for a correct operation and maintenance of telecommunications
facilities.
 -39-

On the national level training centres are operating in every

country.
The need of fellowships for the training centres continues to
be an important problem. Also the possibility of joint uti­
lization of regional training facilities requires scholarship
assistance.
Self sufficiency in planning and design of telecommunications
plant is one of the basic needs of the region. To contribute
to the solution of this problem a Training Course in National
Telecommunication Network Planning (P.0.0.3(4) ) has been
defined. The programme comprises a course in general planning,
to be arranged in Europe and courses in the design of the
various sectors of telecommunications plant to be arranged in
one of the training centres of the region.

6.4. Capital Investment Projects

The projects in the Regional Programme of SATCC fall mainly
into the following categories:
- regional microwave radio relay system;

- satellite earth stations; and

- international telephone switching centres and telex
exchdnges.
It is to be noted, however, that successful implementation of
the regional programme is not possible without upgrading and
rehabilitation of certain existing systems. This applies to
the establishment of the international subscriber dialling,
and especially to the Mozambique National Telecommunication
Development Project (P. 5.5.3), which is not technically
viable without extensive rehabilitation of the present tro­
poscatter links, switching equipment and to some extent even
local plant.

The implementation schedule for the telecommunication projects

is shown in Table 8.

6.4.1. Regional Microwave Radio Relay System

The establishmer.- of the PANAFTEL terrestrial network in the
SADCC region is progressing satisfactorily. A terrestrial
large capacity microwave system is now operational from
Gaborone to Dar es Salaam, and connecting the SADCC Countries
with the East African Countries. A substantial improvement in
the number of circuits that will be possible to set up via
terrestrial system will take place in 1986/1990 with the
completion of the projects which are ongoing.

During the period after 1990, implementation of the microwave

backbone system of Mozambique (P. 5.5.3), including the link
to Katet (Zambia), will drastically reduce the difficulties in
telecommunications with the ports.

6.4.2. Satellite Earth Stations

The satellite earth station programme extends at present only

up tz
4 1987. The programme has been progressing well during the
last years. The station in Zimbabwe (P. 5.9.2) is expected to
be commissioned by mid 1985, and the National/Regional Sa­
tellite Communication System of Mozambique, (P. 5.5.1) part I,
early in 1986.
 -41-

In Angola the project on expansion of the international tele­

communication services (P. 5.1.2) will increase the number of
circuits on the existing Standard A Antenna and will provide
equipment for the Standard B Antenna already installed. This
project will be completed in 1987, and will permit also the
establishment of regional connections with Tanzania, Zambia
and Zimbabwe in addition to the already established circuits
with Mozambique.

It is also important to note the expansion of the satellite

communications in Zambia (P. 5.8.2). The system will provide
an important transit centre for the region, in accordance with
the routing plan of Africa, to avoid traffic through transit
points outside the region and even Europe.

Tanzania has planned a new Standard A Antenna (P. 5.7.3), for

which the 'i'
plementation schedule has to be co-ordinated with
the international switching centre (P. 5.7.2).

In or:'er to achieve improved interconnectivity amongst the

different types of stations, the extensions should be care­
fully harmonized and shared use of the existing stations
examined. In the field of satellite communications the new
development in the space segments has to be carefully con­
sidered. Because of the complexity of the problem SATCC has
initiated a study (P. 5.0.2) the first phase of which is now
being implemented.

6.4.3. International telephone switching centres and telex

exchanges

International switching centres or facilities are available in

all Member States.

New digital centres are now operating in Lesotho, Zambia and

Malawi. The ITSC in Zimbabwe will be operational shortly. In
the first part ct the period 86/90 new centres will be im­
plemented in Angola, Botswana, Mozambique and Swaziland.

The provision of these facilities opens a comprehensive in­

ternational subscriber dialling system at least between the
capital cities by 86/87 and at large scale in the region and
with overseas cou-Lries by the end of the eighties. The im­
plementation of ISu requires co-ordination. For this purpose,
a study is proposed with the aim to individualize the systems
and to remove obstacles.

Telex is mostly operating in automatic mode already. A new

telex centre will be implemented in Angola as a part of P.
5.1.2. In Mozambique a feasibility study on a New Telex Ex­
change in Beira is ongoing and it is expected that the Federal
Republic of Germany will financing the implementation. P.
5.5.3(2).

Chapter 7 METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES

Meteorology was included in the activities of SATCC in

January, 1985.

Meteorology is well suited for region.± co-operation, part­

icularly in respect of equipment for data collection, exchange
of meteorolujical data, analyses and forecasts.

Meteorological services are of vital importance for civil

aviation and navigation and also essential for agriculture.

At present SADCC Member States are heavily dependant on the

Republic of South Africa on meteorological information and
communications. Establishment of SADCC regional co-operation
on meteorological services will reduce this dependency.

SATCC has been approached by international co-operating

partners who have shown interest in financing regional
meteorological projects. Inclusion of such projects in SATCC
Regional Programme of Projects has been proposed.

On the above grounds a programme of action is being prepared

including project ideas concerning meteorological services
related to all branches of meteorology and covering tele­
communications and training aspects as well.

The overall objectives of the planned regional co-operation on

meteorological services shall be in accordance with the
policies and objectives indicated in Chapter 3, Overall SATCC
Objectives and Policies, above.

In respect of meteorology it is worthwhile to note that the

international co-operation in this field is already well
advanced. This co-operation is mainly carried out within the
World Meteorological Organization (WMO). In addition co­
operation is promoted by various United Nations and other
organizations.

Contacts are maintained also on a country-to-country basis.

Defi ciencies in this respect exist in the SADCC Region. There­
fore co-operation should be promoted and adequate facilities
provided for regional and national meteorological services.

A survey on the existing conditions in the region will be

carried out in 1985 in co-operation with WMO. Based on the
survey a programme for co-operative actions, training and
project identification will be launched in 1986 for imple­
mentation in the period up to 1990. A Regional Centre for
meteorological services and rehabilitation and upgrading of
Nationai Meteorological Centres are foreseen to be included in
the programme.
 -43-

Chapter 8 POSTAL SERVICES

Postal Services was included in the SATCC Programme in Ja­

nuary, 1985.
Postal services are a natural sector for regional co-opera­
tion. Proper functioning of the kegional postal services is
essential for the SADCC work in all sectors.
Postal services are closely related to the other sectors of
transport and communications and thus it has been decided to
consider postal services as a new sector within SATCC.

The overall objectives and policies for the regional co-ope­

ration on postal services corresponds closely to the general
policies of SATCC as presented above in Chapter 3, Overall
SATCC Objectives and Policies.
In pc.ticular the need of an efficient regional postal. system
as a measure to implement a close regional co-operation in the
SADCC Region is emphasized.
International co-operation on postal services takes place
within the Universal Postal Union. The regional co-operation
on postal services among the SADCC Member States is carried
out within this international co-operation combined with
specific agreements among the SADCC Member States.

A programme of action on regional co-operation in postal

services is needed and preparations for such a programme has
been initiated in June 1985.
Short term experts have been recruited to prepare such a pro­
gramme. The objectives of the work are:
- identification and evaluation of the existing postal ser­
vices and of the most promising areas for co-operation
among the SADCC Member States; and
- recommendations for projects, procedures and policies
aiming at improvements in the postal services in the SADCC
Region.
 Section Two:

STATUS OF PROJECTS
PREFACE

The Southern Africa Transport and Communications Commission

(SATCC) was established shortly after the historic Summit Meet­
ing in Lusaka 1 April 1980, where the Member States of SADCC
committed themselves to pursue policies aimed at the economic
liberation and integrated development of the national econom­
ies.
A reliable and efficient transport and communications system is
a prerequisite for an intensified and concerted development of
the region. Due to this the regional co-operation within tran­
sport dnd communications3 was attended to immediately after the
Lusaka Summit and the dev-lopment of the sector has been given
the highest priority by the Member States. The -egional co­
operation within SADCC has also been well received by the
international community. Substantial pledges were made at the
SADCC Maputo Conference in November 1980 for financing of tran­
spor and communications projects and new pledges were made at
the following SADCC Conferences.
Thi. report has been prepared for the SADCC Harare Conference.
It gives an up-to-date picture of all projects included in the
regional programme inclusive of financial status.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

SATCC is now for the sixth time presenting a comprehensive

report on project financing and implementation giving status in
September 1985.

The SATCC Strategies for the Next Five Years are presented in a
separate document. A summary of the Strategies is included in
this report as Chapter 2. A summary of Project costs and
financing is presented in Chapter 3 the Implementation Status
in Chapter 4 and the Financial Status in Chapter 5. Tables
showing the project costs and status of financing and implemen­
tation for each project is presented in Annex 1 and Project
briefs in Annex 2.

Chapter 2. SUMMARY OF SATCC STRATEGIES FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS

"SATCC Strategies for the Next Five Years" 1986-1990, will be

devoted towards implementation of programmes developed during
the first five year period of SATCC's existence.

2.1. Objectives and Policies

The basic objectives are listed in the Convention on the Esta­

blishment of the Southern Africa Transport and Communications
Commission (SATCC) of 1980. One of the key objectives is to
reduce economic dependency, particularly, but not only, on the
Republic of South Africa.

Of first priority towards that end is the rehabilitation and

upgrading of the existing facilities and provision of adequate
telecommunications and civil aviation services.

In addition to capital investment projects operational co­

ordination and training shall be included in the strategic
planning of future activities.

The programme is divided into three main activities:

(i) Operational Co-ordination;

(ii) Training; and
(iii) Capital Investment Projects.

Programmes have been prepared separately for surface transport

civil aviation and telecommunications.
 2.2. Operational Co-ordination

The general objectives within tie Operational Co-ordination

activity are :

(i) Improvement of intra-regional transport and co-operation

in operations through establishment of bilateral and
multilateral transport agreements and by joining inter­
national conventions;
(ii) Promoting regional cu-ordination and co-operation on
maintenance of infrastructure and equipment;

(iii) Regional harmonization of standards and specifications;

(iv) Harmonization of rules, regulations and practices re­

lated to operations and maintenance of the infrastruc­
ture and facilities for services.

Specific objectives and detailed programmes for implementation

have been prepared for each transport sector.

The implementation is carried out through meetings of represen­

tatives of all transport and communications sectors. In tele­
communications these goals are achieved through SATA (Southern
African Telecommunications Administrations) Conferences.

It is envisaged that these groups will be working through out

the coming five year period with the exception of the Wagon
Standardization and Spare Parts Task Group which is expected to
complete their work in 2-3 years.

During 1985 it was decided that Meteorology and Postal Services

shall be included in the tasks of SATCC.

It is foreseen that meetings will be organized within these two

new sectors to deal with the regional operation and co-ordina­
tion matters.

2.3. Training

The training projects of SATCC are closely co-ordinated with

the activities of the Regional Training Council for SADCC in
Swaziland.
The main objectives adopted for training are

(i) Existing institutions shall be used and if necessary be

expanded to meet the total regional needs;

(1i) Training facilities shall be established throughout all

Member States;
 -4­

(iii) Capital investment projects shall include training pro­

grammes;

(iv) Possibilities for regional training facilities shall be

investigated and implemented when feasible.

The training activities within SATCC are also dealt with by

sectoral meetings described in Chapter 2.2. above.

Action programmes have been prepared for each sector and stud­
ies on training needs will be carried out on a regional basis
within the coming years.

2.4. Capital Investment Projects

The implementation programme for the Capital Investment Pro­

jects is mainly based on the following principles, that highest
priority shall be given to :

- Rehabilitation of existing facilities and

- Projects reducing economic dependence, and promoting re­

gional trade.

The capital investment projects are divided into five main

groups :
- Surface Transport Systems
- Civil Aviation
- Telecommunications
- Meteorology
- Postal Services

In the preparation of the five year plan the technical and

economic feasibilities of the projects have been assessed on
the basis of studies carried out within and outside SATCC and
on the Traffic Forecast prepared by SATCC.

The likelihood of attracting local and/or external resources

has also been considered.

Most of the Projects within the Port Transport Systems have

been scheduled for implementation or initiation of implementa­
tion during 1986-90. Other projects have been regarded as less
important for the fullfillment of the two main objectives and
thus been scheduled for the period 1991-95. Such projects are
mainly projects not incluled in the Port Systems or the re­
gional railways or trunk Load network.

Other projects are aiming at facilitating the planned export of

e.g. coal and minerals in the future. The projects have been
scheduled in accordance with the national plaiis in this re­
spect.

A large number of projects inciuded for implementation in the

five year plan are financed or financiers have been shown firm
interest in giving support.

Within the Telcommunication sector a large number of projects

are currently being implemented. Projects proposed for imple­
mentatiun during the five year period lacking financing are the
ITSC and Earth Station in Tanzania, a Troposcatter link between
Zambia and Angola and the second and thir phase of the
National Telecommunications Development Projects in Mozambique
with connections to Neighbouring countries.

The international financing of the projects during 1985 was in

the order of USD 250 million. Conmmitments and firm interests
shown indicated that at least the same amount will be available
for 1986 and lI87.

Assuming that financing of this level will be made available

also during the coming years the costs for the proposed five
year implementation programme will be almost fully covered for:

- Nacala Port Transport System

- Dar es Salaam Port Transport System
- Intra Regional Transport System
- Civil Aviation and
- Telecommunications

The most urgent rehabilitation works will also be possible to

carry out in Maputo, Beira and Lobito Port Transport Systems.
in order to cover all the Projects within these systems add­
itional funds in the order of USD 150 million p.a. will be
needed from 1987.

2.5. Meteorological Services

Meteorological Services have been added to the SATCC Programme

only in January, 19o5. Details concerning zhe development
strategy are being prepared.

A survey of the existing conditions will be carried out in 1985

in co-operation with the World Meteorological Organization.

2.6. Postal Services

Postal Services were added to the SATCC Programme in January,

1985.
Chapter 3. COSTS AND FINANCING

The financial status of the projects included in the regional

programme I-s been updated to August 1985. As a rule the imple­
mentation costs for capital investment projects are recorded
only when feasibility st-Aldies or similar studies are available
as background docurnentatior for approachinl a financier for
funding the implementatioiz works.

The total costs of the I1 projects are at present estimated to

US dollars 2742 million. Financing is fully secured for 28
projects and partly secured for 30 projects. This financing
amounts to US dollars 720 million or 26 per cent of total costs
for Lll the projects of the regional programme. Discussions
with financiers are in progress regarding 40 projects. The
financing being discussed amounts to US dollars 662 million or
24 per cent of total costs.

Compared with the situation just before the SADCC Mbabane Con­
ference the number of projects being fully financed has changed
from 33 to 28 and the amount secured has changed from 749
million to 662 million mainly due to changes to cost estimates
ana completion of projects.

The number of projects now being discussed with financ.ers has

changed from 44 projects to 40 and the amount being discussed
from US dollars 642 million to 662 million.

Summaries of estimated implementation costs and the financial

status of the transport systems are given in Table 1 and in
Anpex 1.

Operational coordination and training projects are financed to

50%.
The Maputo port transport system is financed to 24 percent
the total costs. of
The financing of the track renewal for
Botswana railway is being discussed with Canada. The financing
of the Maputo port transport system under discussion amounts
present to 31% of the total costs (see Annex 1 - Table 2). at

The Beira port transport system is financed to 13 per cent

of
total costs. Additional funds have been made available
by
Netherlands for Beira Port (see Annex 1 - Table 3).
The Nacala port transport system is financed to 37 per cent
of
total cost. This financing covers Nacala Port and the first
phase of the rehabilitation of Nacala - Malawi Border railway
(see Annex 1 - Table 4).
 -8-

The Dar es Salaam port transport system is financed to 21 per

cent. Financing has during the last year been secured for the
major parts of the Dar es Salaam port projects. Financing is
being discussed for another 25 percent of the total costs. A
Donors Conference on TAZARA projects was held in Arusha in
April 1985. Preliminary pledges were made for 15 out of 22
TAZARA subprojects.

The Lobito port transport system projects are financed to 14

per cent of the total costs. The development of the Luanda port
is in progress financed by local funds.

The costs of the rehabilitation of the Benguela railway are

estimated to about US dollars 182 million. Only minor parts of
the project (US dollars 14 million) have been implemented. The
African Development Bank has been approached for financing (see
Annex 1 - Table 6).

The intra-regional surface transport system projects are

financed to about 22 per cent of the total costs. The majority
of these are road rehabilitation projects. Six projects are
fully financed four projects are partly financed and financing
for seven projects is under discussion (see Annex 1 and Table
7).

The implementation costs for civil aviation and telecommunica­

tion projects are comparatively well covered by funds, 82 per
cent and 51 per cent respectively (see Annex 1, Tables 8 and
9).

previous planning periods.

b) Wagon Standardization and Spare Parts Task Group

The Task Group has been established in 1985 based on re­
commendations included in the Final Report of Railway
Rolling Stock Study (P. 2.0.1).

The Task Group is expected to convene twice a year in

connection with the Meetings of Railway Administrations to
consider the following.
(i) To find ways and means to overcome difficulties in
maintaining adequate quantities of spare parts to
keep the rolling stock operational and explora:ion
of alternative ways by which spare parts might be
exchanged. Initially consideration will be given to
standardization of wagon components;
(ii) The identification of those components requiring
replacement at frequent intervals, resulting in the
stabling of wagons for safety reasons and for lack
of spares;
(iii) Study of the specifications of the various compon­
ents identified above, with particular reference to
any inadequacy noted therein. The negotiation and
agreement on behalf of Railway Administrations of
the type and specifications for each component which
is to be recommended for adoption as a "Regional
Standard";
 ANNEX 2
-4­

(iv) Study on the manufacturing capability and capacity

within the SATCC Region for the manufacture of such
componenets;
(v) The promotion of the supply of components from
sources within the Region, with a view to moderating
the foreign exchange burden of member states, while
propagating trade between one another;
(vi) The consolidation of demands for items which have of
necessity to be imported by Member States from
sources outside the Region, with the resulted reduc­
tion in the foreign exchange element when seeking
donor aid participation;
(vii) The review of existing agreements which cover the
holding of spare parts to maintain "foreign wagons",
and to establish appropriate stock levels in rela­
tions to current consumption rates;
(viii) Relating all activities to SADCC operations and
resolutions;
(xi) To identify and liaise the Consultants on areas
requiring in depth study.

INTRODUCTION

This annex is a complete review of the Regional Programme

of Projects. The review is based on information supplied by
the Member States and updated for August 1985.

A standard "project brief" has been prepared for all

projects approved by SATCC and included in the Regional
Programme.
The projects are numbered in a three digit system described
below.

The first digit defines the sector:

0 - Multimodal

I - Roads
2 - Railways

3 - Ports and Water Transport

4 - Civil Aviation

5 - Telecommunications

The second digit indicates the country

0 - Regional

1 - Angola

2 - Botswana

3 - Lesotho

4 - Malawi

5 - Mozambique

6 - Swaziland

7 - Tanzania

8 - Zambia

9 - Zimbabwe
 Annex 2

The third digit is a serial number for each sector and

country.
The project briefs are standardized and presented in a
uniform manner, starting with the prcject number and title.
Below follows a map indicating the location of the project
and key information such as

- Estimated costs

- Financing

Executing agency

- Start (of project)

- Duration (of implementation)

The main text of the project briefs is standardized under

the following four headings

- Scope

- Contents

- Status

- Action
The project briefs have been limited to one page. This is
obviously not enough to give a comprehensive description of
the projects. Additional information can, however, be

USD 4.0 million (1984 prices)
USD 4.0 million (current prices)

Financing:
Secureo : USD 1.1 million
Requested : USD 2.9 million
Foreign currency part : 100%

Executing Agency:
Southern Africa Transport and
Communications Commlssion

Start:
1983

Duration:
/ Until 1990

Scope Promotion of regional operational co-ordination within all sectors.

The programme encompasses nine separate activities aiming at
harmonization, standardization or more general co-operation between
various organizations in the Member States.

Conterts : Operational co-ordination has high priority. The Technical Unit of

SATCC is directly involved in the initiation of these activities.
There is, however, a need for supplementary technical assistance
and assistance concerning preparation of meetings and seminars in
order to secure the implementation of all act,vities soonest poss­
ible. Due to this outside financing is needed for each activity.

Nine separate activities have been icentified so fai

(1) Road Infrastructure

(2) Road Traffic and Transport
(3) Railway Administration
(4) Wagon Standaraizatlon and Spare Parts (Railways)
(5) Civil Aviation
(6) National Airlines
(7) Port Administration
(8) Shipping development
(9) Telecommunications.

It is expecteu that operational co-ordination ot postal services

and meteorology will be initiated in 1986.

Status In 1982-1983 the work was initiated and meetings were convened for
the first six activities. In 1984 operational co-ordination of por­
administrations was initiated. Australia has financed operational
co-ordination related to civil aviation and national airlines, up
to June, 1985. DANIDA provides technical assistance to activities
related to railways and road infrastructure and NORAD to road
traffic and transport and port administration.

Action : Additional tunds are sought to finance operational co-ordination

after 1985 up to 1990.

USD 0.35 million (current prices)

Financing:
Requested : USD 0.35 million
Foreign currency part : 100%

Executing Agency:
Southern Africa Transport and
Communications Commission

Start:
1984

Duration:
2 years

Scope : To promote the development ot training within the transport and

communications sector in the Member States. The project includes
three separate regional training activities.

Contents : The project includes those training activities which at this stage
are considered urgently needed and which nct yet have been defined
as separate projects. Training has high priority and the Technical
Unit of SATCC will be closely involved in the initiation and
development of the said activities. There is, however, a need for
supplementary technical assistance and outside financing.

Three separate activities have been identities of which one has

been completed. The activities i"cluded in the project are listed
below. Preliminary cost estimates are indicated in brackets:

(1) Road traffic ai.n ttanspot t tLaining (US dollars 200 000)
(2) Prepaat ion ,i a telucomisunications training project for
Mozambique . (mpl e ted)
(3) Training course in national telecommunications network planning
(US dollars 150 000)

The first activity includes an assessment of the needs tot training

within road traffic and transport. Based on an analysis of the
needs, proposals on future training programmes and their regional
organisation will be prepared. Due consideration will be given to
increased regional use of present training institutions within this
field. The last activity covers planning and implementation of
training courses.

Status : Terms ot Reference have been prepared for (I) and (3). The World
Bank, Italy and Sweden have been approached for financing.

Action : Conclusion of financial agreements for both outstanding activities.

0.0.3(5) SATELLITE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY COURSE FOR SATA MEMBER COUNTRIES

Estimated Costs:
USD 0.15 million
S " Financing:
Requested : USD 0.15 million
Foreign currency part : 100%
Executing Agency:
/ Malawi Post and Telecommunication
Corporation in Cooperation with
SATCC

Start:
1985
Duration:
3 months

Scope To provide detailed and complete understanding of communication by

satellite technology to operation and maintenance staff presently
working or intending to work at the satellite Earth Stations in SATA
Member Countries.

Contents : Satellite Earth facilities are present in all SAICC Countries anu an
important plan of expanwson will be implemented in the second part of
the eighties. In two years time frame, the Eastern, Central and South­
ern Countries will establish a network of direct satellite links
besides other international links. Lack of competent local operation
and maintenance personnel is one of the major problems of concern
affecting operation of Satellite Earth Stations in SATA Member Count­
ries. Hence, this type of training is initiated in order to eventually
ensure total localization and therefore minimizing operational costs,
without degradating performance efficiency.
The course will he attended by two trainees from each of the nine
Member Countries.

Status The sillaby of the Coulrse has been prepared by the Telecommunication
Administration of Malawi in the name of SATA.

Action : To submit the project to the financer.

Contents : The existing road between N'zeto and Soyo is a poor earth road with
difficulties of passage and maintenance.
The construction of a new road of adequate standard is a high
priorty for the Government. This is justified by the economic
importance of the area of influence of the road, including existing
oil storage and loading facilities, ongoing off-shore oil explo­
ration and the imminent start of exploitation of the phosphate
deposits in the area, as well as projects for agricultural deve­
lopment.

Status The project is included in the programme of the United Nations

Transport and Communicatior,s Decade for Africa 1978-1988. Terms of
Reference for the studies have been drafted. The African Deve­

Scope To reconstruct the existing track to classified bitumen road

standard, 118 km.

Contents : The aim of the project is to connect the eastern part of the
country with the district headquarters at Thaba Tseka and with the
road to Maseru. A priority project for the Government.
Planned standard is bitumen surfacing with mainly 8 m wide forma­
tion (6m carriageway and 2 x 1 m shoulders), except 7.2 m on rocky
sections.
The forecasted traffic volumes for 1985 are 160 vehicles per day
between Taung and Mokhotlong and 75 between Mokhotlong and Sani
Pass.
During the last year some spot improvement works have been carried
out on the road section Thabang-Sani Pass in order to upgrade the
road to all weather standard. These works have been financed by
the World Bank under the Third Highway Project. As a result the
traffic on this road section has increased from about 10 to 50
vehicles per day.

Status Despite of the above mentioned spot improvements the roao section
needs more extensive upgrading. A feasibility study and engineer­
ing designs have been completed with financing by UK.

Action : Financing of the upgrading and reconstruction works to be sought.

Contents The project is part of a scheme to reduce the dependence on the

South African transport system. This section is part of a
north-south connection in the eastern Le.sotho. Extensive
agricultural projocts ace in progress in Thaba - Tseka area with
support from the 1i ish Aid and CIDA. The road is Important for
this .cheme.

The exiSLting roau is a simple track in bad condition. A low-level

bridge is not passable during the rainy season. Stream crossings
and drainage have to be reconstrucied. Planned stcndaro is Gravel
3, which means 6.0 m formaton.

Status The feasibility study, financed by CIDA, shows a low viability of

the pro3ect. However, the Government of Lesotho considers the road
to be important and proposes the implementation in two stages:

I. T,mporary improvement to be carried out soonest, cost estimate

11.5 million USD (1985 prices)

2. F1nal upgrading works to be implemented starting 1993, cost

e ;t iaLe 19 million USD (1985 pr ices).

The cost of engiree-ring design is estimated at 530.000 USD.

Scope Feasibility Study on the upgrading to bitumen standard with some

realignments of 51 km of the main roan $13 in Malawi and of
51 km of
the EN8 in Mozambique.

Contents : Objectives of this project is to open up a link from the central

part of Malawi to Mozambique and the nearest ports, Pemba and
Naca la.
The road link is also expected to serve as a through-pass between
various provinces of Mozambique, i.e. Niassa east of Malawi and
Tete west of Malawi. The road will be o! importance in accelerating
agricultural development in the area.

The existing road has been realigned and improved on one section
near Mangoche and one section above the escarpment to Namwera.
The
section up to the escarpment has a very low standaro with narrow
hairpin bends, damaged surface and oangerous bridges. The section
between Namwera and Chiponde is an earth road in a bad
conditon.
The pass across the border is a track usable only by four wheel
drive vehicles.
The route in Mozambique is an earth rod which is expensive to
maintain. The topography traverses easy .ently undulating
terrain.
The average daily traffic in 1977 was 119 vehicles at a point
below
the escarpment in Malawi. This might by 1980 have reached
about 150
vehicles. According to the records kept by the customs, the border
was in 1979 and 1986 passed by 3-13 vehicles per month. The con­
struction cost is estimatea to tJSD 29.5 million in 1983 prices.

Scope Feasibility and engineering stuoles on the rehabilitation and up­

grading of the existing road connection to bituminized standard.
The total length of the road is 270 - 290 km depending on route in
Malawi. The Mozambican section is 185 kip.

Contents : The aim of the project is to provide an all weather road connection
between Malawi anu Mozambique constructed to class 1 bitumen stand­
ard. The road link will serve the trade between two countries and
provide a link between Malawi and the ports of Mozambique,
especially Beira. The road passes in both countries through rich
agricultural areas which are under development for local consump­
tion and export. The road is also of touristi, interest.

The existing roao in Malawi (103 km) is on most of the section

bituminized to a single lane width which is not sufficient for the
existing traffic. The load bearing capacity is insufficient, the
drainage cannot cope with the heavy rainfalls and the alignment is
poor. Thus, the maintenance costs ere high. An alternative routing
in Malawi is along an existing gravl road which is 87 km long.

In Mozambique the existing roal is a 6 m road of mainly earth

standard, the alignment generally following the terrain. Existing
condition is poor.

The traffic density on the Malawi section varies from more than 600
to less than 50 vehicles per dal.

In Mozamoique the traffic flow 1983 has been estimated not to

exceed 100 vehicles per day. k traffic count in 1979 shows an aver­
agc daily traffic of 30 tr,,'.s per day.

The border was in 1979 passed by an average traffic of 3.6 vehicles

per day. This figure is expected to increase rapidly due to the
expected development of foreign trade and regional co-operation ana
to improved road conditions. The construction costs are roughly
estimated at USD 70 million.

Status Terms of reference have been preparea for tea..ibility ano engineer­
ing studies. Engineering designs exist for about 100 km of the
Mozambique section.

Scope To study the feasibility of a road link connecting Maputo area to

Chicuajacuala at the Mozambique/Zimbabwe border (approximately 500
km), including improvement of its continuation in Zimbabwe, Sango -
Rutenga.

Contents : The project includes a feasibility study on a new road which should
serve the following purposes :

(1) Provide a road link between the Maputo area ano Zimbabwe;

(2) Provide a ro.d link between Swaziland and Zimbabwe;

(3) Open up new areas for developaeOL;

(4) Link together a number of towns, villages and rural areas.

In Zimbabwe, a teasibility study has r,.cently been made concerning

the improvement of the road link between Sango and Rutenga. This
road is a direct continuation of the proposed road in Mozambique,
linking Chicualacuala to the main road Harare - Beit Bridge. The
study, financed by the Italian Government, shows low viability of
this project on its own. However, this road is a part o' the even­
tual connection Zimbabwe - Maputo, and should thLs he r ,,ieweo in
this context.

Contents : The project is a part of a systematic improvemeAt scheme for the

main road network in Swaziland. It will improve Swaziland's roao
connections to the port of Maputo (see Project 1.5.4). Section I
has the first prioi ity for the Governnicnt at present.

The improvement of the two Loan sections is also very important for
the ongoing agricultural schemes in the eastern parts of Swaziland,
sugar production, irrigation projects, small scale farming, cattle
ranching and agro-indistry. Most of the existing and potential
production is export orientated with Maputo as its natural sea
outlet. Much of these export products is dependent on road tran­
sportation.

The existing road sections ate ot gravel standard. The desigo o1

the upgrading includes widening to 6.7 m asphalted carriageway on a
10.3 m formation.

The road section Lomahasha - Siteki has traffic volumes between 175
and 700 vehicles per day. A feasibility study has shown internal
rates tc return between 10 and 29% for different sections of the
road. However, the development of the Mozambique - bound traffic
seems to be underestimated in this study.

The road section Siteki - Big Bend has traffic volumes between 150
and 300 vehicles per day. Internal rates of return for this section
are rather low.

Status The financing is secured by ADB, Sweden and Swaziland for construc­
tion of the section Lomahasha - Lonhlupenko, and work was started
in February 1984. Estimated completion date for this section is
February 1986.

The main importance ol the aod will be to serve the r ich agricul­
tural zone in the :;noth and south-6est of Tanzania.

The roaa.: aection Mtwara - Masasi, 200 kin, has been upgraued to
bitumen Itandarrr in 1978. Th(: existing road Masasi - Tunduru -
Songea, 444 kin, is partly earth, partly engineered gravel standaro,
6.5 - 7 m wide, in a poor condition. The terrain is genera]lQ
rolling *o hilly.

The existing road Songea - Mbamba Bay, 169 kin, is gravelled on nalf
of the length and the rest is earth. It is in poor condition due to
low construction stamclards, e.g. lack ol idequate drainage and
unsafe wooden bridges across rivers. The terrain is rolling to
hilly and includes a mountainous stretch at the escarpment to the
lake shore plain. As a trunk road, it should be upgraded to at.
least surface dressed standard (6.5 m + 2 x 1.5 nrC. After realign­
ment tho road length will be reduced to 160 km.

The trafiic volumes were in 197;, between 30 and 63 vehicles per Cray
on the Masasi - Songea section and between 20 and 100 on the Songea
- Mbamba Bay section. Earlier cost estimate for works on the whole
road Masnar - MhLamLa Bay was USD 250 million.

Status : Detailed design an tender aocumnts for the whole project were
prepared in 1975. A review of the design and cost estimate is
required.

Repair works on the road section Songea - Masasm have been cone
with financial support from the World Bank. The Government of UK is
financing the ongoing construction of the road Mkambaho Songea, due
to be completed by the end of 1985. This road will link the pro­
posed road to the Tanzam Highway. A 3 month pre-investment study
for section Songea - Mbamba Bay was completed in July 1965.

Action : Financing to be sought for :

1. Review study on section Masasi - Songea, USb I million.

2. Works on section Songea - Mbamba Bay according to recommenda­

Contents : The Tanzania section (925 kin) of the Tanzam Highway connects the
port of Dar es Salaam with Tunduma at Tanzania/Zambia border via
Morogoro, Iringa and Mbeya. The road was built to two lane paved
standards with 6.7 m wide carriageway in 1972. Apart from the flat
terrain in the section between Dar es Salaam and Mikumi, the roao
traverses mostly rolling terrain.

This road carries considerable heavy national and regional traffic.

The section between Dar es Salaam and Morogoro carries also traffic
for Rwanda and Burundi. The traffic volume varies from about 900
vehicles per day between Dar es Salaam and Chalinze to 400 vehicles
per day between Mbeya and Tunduma. About 70 per cent of this
traffic consists of commercial vehicles.

The road pavemcnt within certain sections has snown sions at dis­
tress in the torn, of potholes, surface cracks and surface deforma­
tLion. At certain places, especially between Dar es Salaam-Mikumi
(289 kin) and Iyayi - Mbeya - Tunduma (228 km), the road has failed
completely, with the pavement destroyed.

Status : A feasibility study for rehabilitation of the sections Zambia

border - lyayi and Dar es Salaam ­ Mikumi has been completed in
June 1983. Detailed documents for the reconstruction works have
been completed in Uctober 1983. The World Bank has appraised the
project in May/June 1985 and has noted the need for co-financing.

mission in 1983 financed by Norway concluded that the bridge would
not be feasible and consequently there would be no nied to under­
take a comprehensive feasibi ity study. However, the Zambian
Government has expres;sed ILs continued interest in tLe bridge, and
ADB has Indicatei its support to have a full feasibility study
carried out. A provisional allocation of USD 0.2 million from UNDP

Contents The road Lusaka - Kazungula (532 km) is in need of rehabilitation.

Upgrading work has commenced in 1982 on the section Zimba-Living­

stone (42 ki), with completion of the section due in 1985. This
road section is being upgraded from a 3.5 m wide surface to a 6.1 m
bitumen surface with 2 m shoulders (US dollars 5 million). The
remaining sections are of varying standards and show signs of
deterioration. The normal recurrent maintenance funds are not
sufficient for the necessary works.

Contents : The Ndola - Lusaka road is comprised of the Lusaka -

Kabwe T2
section of some 138 km and the Kabwe - Ndola section, T3, which is
183 km.
This road was built more than 15 years ago and carries a heavy
volume of traffic. The average daily traffic in 1977 was 3051
vehicles per day with 50 per cent heavy vehicles. Recent counts
show the flows to be above 2900 vehicles per day with 45 per cent
heavy vehicles. There is evidence of damage to the road due to
overloading.
Rehabilitation works have been carried out over selected sections
in the past including reconstruction, surface dressing and
premix
overlay. However, due to the lack of funds it has not been possible
to keep up with the deterioration and it is now imperative to
take
urgent action.

Contents : The Lusaka - Mongu road, M9, is 583 km in length. The section
between Lusaka and Kafue Hook Bridge was completed by a Chineese
team in 1973, together with the bridge. The section from the bridge
to Mongu was finished by private contractors in the mid-1960's.

Traffic flows are approximately 200 vehicles per day with over 60
per cent heavy vehicles. Due to poor soil conditions, long sections
of the road are showing signs of distress and already several kilo­
meters have had to be reconstructed. Some surface dressing works
have been made.
In order to avoid further deterioration, rehabilitation works of a
large scale are considered essential. Investigations of the road
pavement are needed to determine correct treatment.

(1) Gaborone - Southern border (1220 kin),

(2) Francistown - Northern Border (85 kin), and
(3) Gaborone - Francistown (435 kin)

Contents : The railways in BUtswana consist of a 640 km main line and two
branch lines Serule - Selebi Pikwe (57 kin) and Palapye - Morupule
(15 kin), in total 714 km. The railway system is owned and operated
by the National Railways of Zimbabwe for the time being. However,
the Governmenlt of Botswana is in a process of taking ovei the
system liOM the 1st January 1987.

All rails and sleepevs with a tew exceptions,were second-hand when

laid in Botswana since L961 from the Zimbabwe border southwards.
After the track was constructed only normal maintenance has been
carried out but no systematic renewal of the track has been in­
itiated. The track, especially some deteriorated secticns, is now
fast approaching a state where severe restrictions of speed and
axle loads will have to be applied. Therefore the renewal of the
track oi imnrovements of some bad section is urgently needed i.
the following ofder of priority : (1) Gaborone - Southern Border
(120 kin), (2) Francistown - Northern Border (85 kin) and (3)
Gaborone - .rancistown. Rehabilitation of sections (2) and (3)
might consist of spot improvements.

The new track will consist of 50 kg/im longwelded raili onimonobloc

concrete sleepers with fist-fastenings.

Status : An agreement has been 7igned between the People's Rtpublic of

China and Botswana for P. 17.0 million to finance the acquisition
of rails and equipment and for technical assistance. To begin with
the costs of sleepers, ballast and works will be financed by the
Government of Botswana. On that basis financing has been secured
for the rehabilitation of the 120 km stretch Gaborone - Southern
Border (120 kin) and partly of the stretch Francistown - Northern
Border (85 km). The works are in progress on section (1).

CIDA has shown interest in the project. An appraisal mission to

Botswana has been made by CIDA. A more through study is expected
to be financed by CIDA in the near future concerning sections (2)
and (3).

Action : Additional financing is being sought.

Scope : Renewal of the train working system.

Contents : The present system of train working in Botswana is by facsimile

machine which is a simple repeater machine transcribing an order
written out at station A to station B. A copy of this order is
handed to the driver of the train and the guard. This system is
susceptible to human error and requires a very high level of
experience and competence. These machines are now life expired and
the system will be replaced.

To facilitate train working in a reliable manner introduction of a

new system for the whole line from the Southern to the Northern
Border is being studied, from the Southern to the Norther Border.
The rehabilitated overhead telecommunication lines (P. 2.2.2) will
be used also for signalling purposes. The points will remain man­
ually operated.
This project might be combined with P. 2.2.2 if the design speci­
fications for that project are adequate also for train working.

Status : Detailed plans are being prepared. SIDA will finance th! project.

Scope : To provide facilities and equipment for basic maintenance of loci­

motives and wagons.

Contents Botswana is in the process of building up its rolling stock fleet.

Altogether 12 diesel electric locomotives, 47 high sided wagons and
13 water tanks have been acquired by now. Probably 15 (in addition
to the 12 already purchased) new main line locomotives for the old
line will be acquired by 1987. Ten more units are needed for the
planned eastern link. Altogether 450 new wagons are needed for the
old line and 1 100 - 1 200 coal wagons for the eastern link. No
passenger coaches are included in the plans.
It is intended to do basic maintenance of these assets within
Botswana to suit operational convenience. The proposed facility
will be located at Mahalapye. The project will consist of a depot
building, office block, garage and equipment required to make it
fully operational plus housing for the staff. In addition the
smaller wagon repair track at Palapye shall be provided with
buildings and hardstanding.
The break-down of the costs at current prices is as follows:

- Depot building USD 1.2 million

- Office and amenity block USD 0.2 million
- Civil engineering works USD 1.9 million
- Equipment for Depot USD 1.0 million
- Break-down train and equipment USD 0.6 million
- Improvements to Pelapye repair
track USD 0.1 million

Status : A project description with cost estimates has been prepared by

Transmark Consultants. Recommendations concerning wagon repairs
and maintenance are included also in the Final Report of the Study
of Railway Rolling Stock, Project No. 2.0.1, by Kampsax-Swederail.

Scope : Establishment of a container terminal in Maseru with customs fac­

ilities.

Contents : Lesotho is connected to the Couth African railway system by a

single track line which teri&inates at Maseru station, 2 km inside
the country. Goods traffic handled at Maseru station has averaged
some 160 000 tonnes' p.a. and has been estimated Ly consultants to
increase to about 42U 000 tonnes p.a. by the year 2000.

At present, overseas containers must be opened, regrouped arid

cleared at South African ports, usually in Durban, due to the
absence of a customs terminal and the lack of adequate clearance
procedures and handling facilities in Maseru. This results in de­
lays and additional costs compared with possible through shipments
to and from Maseru. Containerization is growing rapidly also within
the Southern Africa Customs Union ,rea of which Lesotho is a
member. It, the absence of adcquate facilities Lesotho can only
marginally gain 'n this respect.
On these grounds a project plan has been prepared for a container
terminal with customs facilities in Maseru including the following:
a rail spur, stuffing/stripping sheds (1000 m2), administration
building for the cperator and customs, paving of the port area, a
gatehoui ,nd security fencing plus a gantry crane and a forklift.

Status : A study on the feasibility of the project has been made by a German
consultant financea by EEC in 1984.

Action : It is expected that EEC will finance the implementation of the

project.

Contents : Lesotho is at present entirely dependent on South Africa for its

supplies of fuel. To lessen that dependence the project originally
included acquisition of 84 tank wagons to transport oil products
from Maputo and increase of oil storage capacity in Maseru. The
plan to purchase tank wagons has now been abandoned since for the
haulage of the wagons South African motive power would have been
needed.
At present only about two weeks supplies of oil products can be
stored in Maseru. In case of interruptions in deliveries the coun­
try would have serious problems. Therefore additionil storage
capacity to provide for 3 months strategic reserve is bae y needed.

Status : SIDA has been approached for funding of the preparation of designs
with costing. Report has been completed.

Action : The Government is considering which priority ranking should be

assigned to this project.

Scope Rehabilitation and upgrading of the 469 km section between Salira

and the Mozambique border to bring it up to a stanuard which can
ensure sate and uninterrupted train operations, and building of a
repair track at Nayuci, border station on Nacala line.

Contents : The Balaka-Southern border section was oz iginally built to very low
standaras. Since 1973 improvements have been maue largely with
British aid so that most of this section is now in good condition.
Rerailing and resleepering is needed however, here and there.

The stretch from Balaka (km 313) to Salima (km 469) is in poor con­
ditLion. Renewal of ballast, rails and sleepers art: in the programme.
Some rehabilitation works are also to be carried out between Balaka
and Southern border.

The rest of the Malawi Railway lines are in gooo shape equipped with
40 kg longwelded rails on concrete sleepers.

Related to the renabilltation the plan concrete sleeper factory at

Salima has been reopened. The factory was closed tn 1980 when the
new line between Salima and Mchinji was completed.

To produce sleepers; for the above rehabilitation and for normal

replacements a production of about 150 000 units in three years is
planned. The repail track at Nayuci will serve the international
traftic to and from The Port of Nacala (USD 0.1 million).

Status : A study on Malawi Railways has been completed by Coopers ano

Lybranu, British Consultants, financed by ODA. in this report a 2­
phase programme for rehabilitation has been proposed. For the Ist
phase UK has already ccimitted K 3.0 million. British consultants
will make an evaluation mission to Malawi to eva)uate tLe needs for
the 2nd phase of the programme. Building oi a repair track of Nayuci
is recommended in the Final Report of the hailway Rolling Stock
Study, Project No. 2.0. 1, by Kampsax-Swederail.

Scope : Acquisit:on of 180 freight wagons.

Contents : The aim of the project is to provide adequate transport capacity

for the transportation of Malawi's exports and imports to and from
Mozambique ports.
From March 1976, when the Mozambique-Zimbabwe border closed until
October 1980 Malawi Railways had the use of 272 goodz wagons owned
by the National Railways of Zimbabwe, wagons which were returned to
Zimbabwe when the border was opened. In spite of enforced with­
drawal of wagons from service because of obsolescence there are
still nearly 300 wagons out of the total 769 which are over 20
years old.
The bulk of Malawi's exports and imports is now carried in con­
tainers. Container wagons are needed to meet the demand.

The project includes the purchase of 180 additional wagons for the
ubove purposes. The cost estimate at current prices is USD 9.0
million based on the assumption that the wagons can be bought from
the Southern African Region.

Status : The Federal Republic of Germany financed a rolling stock study in

Malawi in 1982. Coopers and Lybrand, British Consultants, have also
made a study on Malawi Railways financed by ODA. Based on
studies it has been concluded that 180 new wagons are needed. these

The Federal Republic of Germany has earmarked DM 13.0 million for

Malawi projects. One third of this amount will be. used for road
haulage equipment and the rest for railways. In the firzt place 30
wagons are being acquired from the Federal Republic of Germany. The
second phase is planned to include the purchase of 30 more wagons.
At the same time possible further needs will be evaluated.
The African Development Bank has also been approached by the
Government of Malawi.

Action : Additional wagons shoulo be bought within the SATCC region where
the costs will be less than elsewhere and the standards the same as
those already used.
Additional iunding is needed.

Scope Study on the rehabilitation of the 213 km railway between Machava

in Mozambique and Matsapha in Swaziland.

Contents T:he present track has 45 K/m and 40 kg/m rails on timber sleepers
in Mozambique and Swaziland respectively. Due to steep gradients
(up to 25 o/oo) and shat- curves speed restrictions are frequent on
the entire line, and the line has deteriorated.

The main objective of the rehabilitation plan is to enable the two

railways to provide adequate facilities in a safe and efficient way
to meet the growing demand for imports and exports to and from
Swaziland and the internal demard in Mozambique. The traffic demano
is expected to grow from 0.8 million tonnes in 1980 to 1.9 million
in 1990 ano 3.1 million in the year of 2000.

The project plan includes the rehabilitation and upgrading of the

line to a standard of 48 kg/m rails in Swaziland and new or re­
paired 45 kg/m longwelded rails on concrete sleepers and with
sufficient stone ballast in Mozambique to allow 20 t axle loads
right through up to Matsapha, 150 km from the border in Swaziland.
For a detailed rehabilitation programme a study will have to be
carr ied out.

The 315 km (Beira) Dondo - Machipanda (Zimbabwe Border) railway has

40 kg/m rails on timber sleepers, except on the 88 km section next
to the Border where 30 kg/m rails on timber and steel sleepers are
used. This section is in a poor condition and needs immediate
rehabilitation. There are some steep gradients, up Io 25 %o, on tne
line and some sharp curves (100 m) affecting |operations and
maintenance. By spot regradings and realignments al.uling gradient
of 15 %o can be reached and the sharpest curves eli Tinated.
On the above grounds an emergency programme has been presented
above to improve the worst length of 88 km and a study suggested
for further improvements in the remaining length to cope with the
anticipated traffic in the future.

Status A study which covers the above 88 km section and spot realignments
and regradings was carried out in 1982 by Mott, Hay and Andersson

Scope : Rehabilitation, upgzading, signalling (and doubling at a later

stage) of the Beira - Dondo section of the Beira - Malawi (Zim­
babwe) railway.

Contents : The project consist of the following parts

(i) study and eng ineer ing tor the complete renewal and sign­
alling of the existing track and doubling of the track at a
later stage (USD 0.5 million);

(ii) total rehabilitation and provision of locally controlled

signalling of the existing track and provision of under­
ground cable link for telecommunications; and

(iii) doubling of th: track in the future, when the traffic demand
justities it.

The 28 km stretch Beira - Donoo is common for the Malawi and

Zimbabwe lines. The track has 12 m long, fishplated 40 kg/m rails
on main lines and 30 kg/m rails on loops and sidings in the yards
fastened with coach screws to timber sleepers in stone ballast.
There is no signalling system at present.

The track needs total rehabilitation to be able to cope with the

anticipated traffic in the future. It has been estimated, taking
into account the planned dense commuter traffic, that about 40
pairs of trains will- be operated on this section in 1990'ies.

UIC 54 kg/m longwelded rails on monobloc concrete sleepers with

Pandrol fastenings will be used. Baltast will be produced at the
quarry at Chilulu. New quarry equipment is already at the site
which will have to be organized for operations. A concrete sleeper
factory, financed by Italy, is being built for the rehabilitation
of the Moatize (Malawi) line. This factory can provide sleepers
also for the Beira - bondo section. Accessories, like shoulders,
HTS wires and all tastenings, should be provided by this project.

The plan includes a complete renewal of the existing line, loops

and turnouts, installation of a signalling system using inter­
locked panels. Signalling equipment (in part) already stored in
Beira, and Maputo will be examined for part utilization in ins­
tallation of signalling and telecommunications.

Status The Belgian Government has allocated USD 0.3 million for a study.

Contents : The 615 km Nacala - Entre Lagos (Malawi border) railway has 30 kg/m
:ails on timber sleepers in stone ballast. The condition of the track
with exception of the stretch Cuamba - Entre Lagos (77 km), is very
poor. Sections with badly worn out and bent rails, \oose fastenings
and low joints are common. Most of the sleepers are completely per­
ished and the ballast is inadequate. Track is deteriorating and
getting unsafe.
The project aims at total replacement of the track between Nac !a
and Cuamba by long welded BS BOA rails on bi-block concrete sleep­
ers with adequate ballast. Between Cuamba and Entre Lagos only
minor improvements are proposed.
The project includes also improvements to the communications system
and implementation of a training programme.
The project will be implemented in two stages the first phase being
the upgrading of the Nacala - Nampula section (200 km) by the end
of 1985. The whole project is planned to be completed by the end of
1987. The cost estimate in 1984 prices for the first phase is 95
million and for the whole project 195 million US dollars.

Status Financing agreements with Canada, Fix.nce and Portugal and with the
Bank of Mozambique for the local component have been signed. The
Canadian part is USD 13.0 million, French 43.0 million, Portuguese
25.4 million and the local part USD 10.5 million. These funds will

maining 3 700 wagons with plain bearings, 2 000 have been found to
be suitable for conversion to roller bearings.

With plain bearings the trains have to be stopped after a certain

number of Kms at special insp!ction stations to check for possible
"hot boxes". Even then the plain bearing- frequently fail causing
derailments and other damage.

The modern roller bearLng box needs no inspection on the line and
needs no maintenance between the general overhauls, i.e. in 8-10
years. :ts estimated life time is 25-30 years. Additional savings
will be gained through increased availability of wagons and higher
axle loods aid speeds. Less locomotive traction is needed,
specially when starting. Thus longer trains can be operated with
roller bearings.

At the same time other repairs should he curried out to make the
wagons suitab]e for internatLional traffic.

Status This project has been brought up as follow-up action based on the
regional study on Railway Rolling Stock, Project No. 2.0.1. A
separate study his been carried our by Swederall concluding that the
investment can accept a capital cost of 11 per cent. An appraisal
survey financed by SIDA has also been made.

Action : The project has been submitted to SIDA for consideration.

Scope : Rehabilitation of the existing fleet of steam and diesel loco­

motives operated by CFM (Centro) and conversion of the steam
workshop at Beira to serve both steam and diesel locomotives.

Contents : The project consists of three parts :

(i) studies on actions needed to rehabilitate

(a) the existing steam locumotives;
(b) about 10 diesel electric locomotives;
(ii) study on the conversion of the existing Beira Workshop to
serve both steam and diesel locomotives; and
(iii) implementation of the recommenQations of the above studies
(costs to be established based on the studies).

Only seven units of the total fleet of 55 steam locomotives of

CFM(C) were operational in August 1985.. The other units were under
repairs or waiting for repairs. The run down conditions in the
maintenance of steam locomotives are considered having been caused
by shortage of materials, spares, hand tools, equipment and skilled
manpower. Urgent action is needed to rehabilitate adequate numbers
of steam units until long term solutinns have been found for motive
power problems.
A study of the damaged diesel locomotives of CFM(C) and CFM(N)
needs to be carried out to identify those which are considered to
be economically viable to repair. Those repairable (identified at
about 10 locos) should be evaluated for repairs and a programme for
their rehabilitation prepared together with a maintenance ryrogramme
for all the diesel units.
At present CFM(C) depends on CFM(S) for heavy diesel repairs. Since
the diesel fleet of CFM(C) will increase in the future, adequate
repair and maintenance facilities should be provided at the Beira
workshop to carry out such work.

The project is expected to be extended to cover also CFM(S) and

CFM(N).

Status Project descriptions have been prepared by DNPCF. US AID is in­

itiating a pilot project in 1985 (USD 4.1 million).

Action : Additional funds will be needed based on studies to be made during

the pilot project.

Contents : The project consists of the following parts

(i) conversion of 130 iron ore wagons (USD 325 000);

(ii) conversion of workshop building (USD 200 000); and
(iii) acquisition and installation of equipment (USD 563 000) at
the workshop.
Iron ore wagons became redundant in 1980/81 when the Kadake Mine
was closed. Since that time 127 wagons have been successfully
converted to high sided bogie wagons to carry sugar, coal and
other bulk commodities for which there is a great demand in the
common pool operated to and from Maputo. There are still 130
wagons to be modified. The project is of high priority and should
be implemented in 1986-87.

At present there is only a small shelter at Sidvokodvo for wagon

repairs. A new combined wagon workshop and repair track is needed
by expanding the existing facilities. The building of the workshop
is scheduled for 1988.

Status The above projects are based on the recommendations included in

the Final Report of the Railway Rolling Stock Study, Project No.

Scope : Feasibility study for possible new connections to the sea for
Zambia's foreign trade.

Contents : Originally the project included a link from TAZARA to the Port of
Mpulungu on Lake Tanganyika, a link via Caprivi Strip to Namibia
and a link by-passing Zaire to the Port of Lobito, Angola. The
Mpulungu link study is presented now under TAZARA projects, P.
2.7.1. The links to Namibia and Lobito are not considered realis­
tic at the moment.
On the above grounds the proposal for a study includes the
following links,
(i) from Chipata to Lusaka - Zambia Railway system or Serenje,
TAZARA;
(ii) from the Livingstone Lusaka line at Kafue to Zawi to
connect with the National Railways of Zimbabwe (approxi­
mately 300 km); and
(iii) from link (i) at Katate to Moatize to connect with the
Mozambique railway system (approximately 300 km).
Development plans made in Zambia and in the neighbouring countr­
ies are expected to increase trade and demand for transport.
Therefore a new study, taking into account the development plans
for Nacala, Beira and Maputo corrioors, is considered necessary
although the Zambia Coastal Link Study was finalized as recently
as in June 1980.

Scope : To prepare an intermediate and long te- evelopment plan for the port
of Lobito. The work has been carried . in two consecutive phases,
viz a "Preliminary Study" and a "Development Plan".

Contents : The aim of the project is to create a plan for the timely development
of the port to enable it to meet rhe demands of future maritime
traffic. The planning work comprises two parts - the preliminary study
and the development plan.

The preliminary study includes

- Analyses of the present and planned economic activities in the port
hinterland regarding their future contribution to the traffic flows
through the port;
- Foreuasts of the commodity flows with regard to volume, origin and
destination, modes of transport, etc;
- Analyses of the capacity demands on port facilities, related in­
stallation and equipment as well as on connections with overland
transportation systems;
- Assignment of specific areas for all logical port and port related
activities and their intermediate term expansion needs; and
- Analyses of the impact of the capacity of the recommended solution
on the master development plan of the city of Lobito.
The results of the preliminary study has been summed up in the report
to the Govern.nent. The results has given the input data for the
development plan.
The development planning includes all necessary technical and socio­
economic studies to realise the requirements indicated in the pre­
liminary study report. The plan considers all the undertakings
anticipated concerning the port of Lobito and is presented in four
stages viz:
a) for the use of the existing wharfs during the next three-year
period;
b) for the use of the 995 m wharf under construction;
c) for the medium term period until 1990; and
d) for the long term perspective.
The development plan also includes the organisation of a department
for coordination of operations, port planning and control, training of
staff etc.

Status The project is financed by DANIDA. A preliminary study report has been
approved by the Government. The final report will be submitted Sep­
tember 1985.

Scope : Feasibility study on means to achieve a co-ordinated Transportation
System on the Lake.

Contents : The project objective is to achieve a co-ordinated transportation

system for goods and passengers for the three countries bordering on
the Lake, thus widening the regional markets as well as providing
access to the international markets through alternative out-lets. It
aims not only at studying the conditions necessary for co-ordinated
shipping services on the lake, but also at establishing the required
type and location of terminal facilities considering the physical,
meteorological and hydrological characteristics on the Lake.

The study shall account for the following points :

1) Traffic focecasts paying particular attention to the development
of new cargo flows such as pulp from the Vipya mill, possible coal
traffic from the northern coal field and to prospect for cross­
lake traffic;
2) Operating aspects as regards

- type and structure of terminal facilities, taking into account

changes in water level (extent, cause, facilities, means of
control), meteorological characteristics, soil condition etc,

- location of terminal and -epair and maintenance facilities;

connections to existing rail .nd road systems,

- navigation aids and co-ordination of communications,

- capacity and suitability of existing vessels ard requirements

for new vessels;
3) Economic and financial analyses; and

4) Development of personnel training programme and facilities to meet

also regional m3ritime training needs.

Status : Since 1935 a lake transport service has operated as a branch of Malawi
Railways. The service includes only Mialawi ports. There are repair and
maintenance facilities at Monkey Day. Tanzania operates a service
between Mbamba Bay and Itungi with one 80 passenger boat and one cargo
vessel of 150 DWT. A Marine Training Centre at Monkey Bay on Lake
Malawi is to be established. The UN are supporting the school through
IMCO.

The project will be financed by DANIDA. Consultants have been short­

listed, but the tendering process has been held up due to possible
over-lapping with the World Bank financed study on a northern tran­
sport route from Blantyre/Lilongwe to Dar es Salaam.

Action : Terms of Reference will be revised accordingly as soon as the Study

Report is made available to the TU. D'

Scope Expansion of the Tanelec Flight Calibration Unit, Arusha, for the
provision of complete Flight Calibration Services requirements of
the SADCC States, including training. Each state is responsible
for the regular ground flight calibration (testing) of its radio
navigation, approach and landing aids to ensure that they confirm
to all performance standards specified by ICAO. These aids are
required for the safe and reliable guidance of aircraft flying
from one point to another.

Contents : This project is a continuation and a second phase of the studies

conducted by Australian consultants and which are now completed on
Project 4.0.1, Regional Co-operation in flight testing of naviga­
tional aids, and its Addendum, Operational evaluation of the
Tanelec Flight Calibration Services, Arusha.

Status Background document&t ion in support of funding assistance has been

prepared by the Mini cy of Communications and Works of Tanzania.
At present Tanelec's primary calibration aircraft is a Piper
Navaio fitted with a single console Sierra Flight Inspection
System. This set up is technically capable to carry out limited
flight calibrtion of navaids in all SADCC States except Angola.
However for it to be able to meet the full requirements for flight
testing and calibration of navaids and also cope with the heavy
work load needed to cover the whole of the SADCC region, it would
require a larger and higher performance type of aircraft.
The Tanelec Flight Calibration Services has now been transfered to
the Ministry of Communications and Works of Tanzania which has
made a Turbo Commander available for the calibration unit.
Thus the cost will be reduced to a total of USD 2.6 million (in
foreign currency) to cover the following :­
1. Installation of calibration equipment in the Turbo Commander.

2.. calibration equipment

3. Fault rectification equipment
4. Training equipment
5. Additional Personnel (expatriate and local)

Action The Tanzanian Government has now presented a request to Norway for
funding from other than bilateral sources and to be made available
through international agencies like UNDP. The ADB has also been
approached for similar assistance.

ance, overheu). and repair of airframes, engines and componeh-s
for the airLiines registered in the SATCC states, bearing in
mind exisLing and plannei facilities and fleet development over
a 20 year period,
- to assess present facilities and to determine the manpower
requirements and the training prograin'es and facilities re­
quired to meet current and future needs, and to chart the
prescnt custom procedures nd traffic,
- to indicate the magnitude of investments by location and to
estimate the operating costs,
- to recopmend a system alming at distributior, of gains and work
load aming the participating members,
- to prepare a cost/benefit analysis showing Lh economic
improvements which thf recommended system will achieve compared
to current maintenance and overhaul practices.

Status : ReviLed Terms of Reference have been prepared.

Action : The stliiy should be based on the ADB financed continental study
including the ongoing amendment for turbo-prop aircraft and
experience gained in bilateral co-operation between SATCC air­
lines. Thus it should not start until such experience has reached
an accep-able basis for further multilateral co-operation.

legislation and philophies inherited from previous administra­
tions. This basic legislation was in many cases suited to a
colonial type of administration and had its origin during a period
when many of the new universally acceptad ICAO standards were in
formative stages. It is unsuited to autonomous development.

The work will include :

- preparation of an inventory from each State of copies oi the
existing Civil Navigation Act, Air Navigation Orders and Air
Navigation Regulations;
- a review of these dozuments to ascertain differences in con­
struction and app) ication and whether modifications can be made
to facilitate a greater degree of co-ordination. Proposal for
change will use ICAO standards as a basis and will need to be
discussid with each Civil Aviation Authority concerned to
ascertain the practicability and acceptability;
- preparation of a report in detail on recommended changes to
application of acts, orders and regulations for Regular Pass­
enger Transport and General Aviation, with particular reference
to :
personnel licensing
aircraft certification, aintenanre and servicing
aerodrome standands for international operations.

Status : A report has been prepared by a short term expert within SATCC/TU
and oistributed to Directors of Civil Aviation ano lenior Execu­
tives of National Airlines for comments.

Action : The Report will be discussed at the joint DCA/Airlines neeting In

Tanzania November 1985.

Scope A total study of the policy, regulations and operations of General

Aviation taking into account its role in development, including
charter, aerial work and aerial medical services.

Contents : There are at present approximately 800 General Aviation aircraft

and well over 1000 aerodromes and landing strips in the nine SADCC
States. The most commonly used regular passenger transport air­
craft In regional operation, the Boeing 737, can land on only 36
of them.
From the discussions in the meeting of Directors of Civil Aviation
and airline executives in Maputo In July 1982, it was evident that
they are looking to a study for guidance or, a considerable range
of matters, including :
- the establishment and implementation of mutually acceptable
policies and regulations which will permit General Aviation
operations - particularly commuter and charter typa operations
- to be developed and integrated with Regular Passenger Tran­
sport operations. It is essential to reconcile the separtate
development of both and to ensure their separate economic
survival by minimising conflict and optimising their distinc­
tive roles ;
- the regulations of procedures and frequency of movement for
General Aviation aircraft operting between adjoining states;
- the practicability and methods of achieving greater commonality
of aircraft types and development of approved regional organi­
zations for aircraft, engines and accessories overhaul;
- the development an application of common standards of air­
worthiness in certification, maintenance and servicing of air­
craft together with development of standards for licensed
maintenance personnel;
- the inclusion of General Aviation services in individual State
planning as part of the National Transport Development;
- the practicability of development of aerial work activities in
such fields as environmental survey, agricultural spraying,
pest control, and top dressing,
- the practicability of establishing an aerial medical coverage
which would be a great benefit to the communities of their
States.

Scope : Updating of the various manpower and training studies which have
been carried out under ICAO/UNDP programmes.

Contents : A "Civil Aviation Mnapower and Training Requirements Survey,

Africa" was carried out in 1974/75 under UNDP/ICAO Project RAF/
72/006,
The objectives of the surzey, as established by ICAO, were
- Long range objectives : to meet the manning and training re­
quirements in various fields of civil aviation;
- Immediate objectives:
1. to determine the immediate manning and training needs of each
country and establish programmes to meet these needs;
2. to establish an integrated training programme covering all
countries;
3. to determine the number ot additional training places which
would be requ:red yearly in each field of specialization and
develop a programme of action for provision of these places.

The recommendations of this survey were accepted at a Plenary

Session of the African Civil Aviation Commission in August 1975
but the recommendcd programme was never implemented.

Due to the rapid development within the civil aviation sector,

there is now an urgent need for updating with regard to the SADCC
States with the following objectives :
1. to make a survey and analysis of the existing staff establish­
ments of the civil aviation authorities and national airlines;
2. to consider, in the light of the expected civil aviation
activity, the adequacy ot these staff establishments to meet
the long range and immediate objectives as laid down in the
original 1974/75 survey;
3. to prepare a Training Programme geired to filling the esta­
blishments necessary to meet both the long range and immediate
objectives for all categories of staff.

field.

Contents : AIP's are charts providing the pilots with all tne details
necessary for safe performance of a flight such as information
about airways, compulsory ieporting points, ccntrol zones, naviga­
tional aids, flight levels, aerodromes etc. The design, drafting
and amendment of this aeronautical information required is a very
specialized task performed by experienced and well trained staff.
Extensive investments are needed in equipment for production of
AIP's and also a well organized administration for collection of
data and network .or distribution.
It is mandatory for each ICAO contracting State to provide an
aeronritical information service.

Scope Construction of a new airport about 15 km south of Maseru, the

capital of Lesotho.

Contents : The existing 1 300 m zunway at Maseru can only accept aircraft up
to HS 748/F-27 size and the airport cannot be upgraded for safe
operations with larger aircraft. The Government has decided to
build a new airport some 15 km south of Maseru and adjacent to
the
main road to Mohale's Hoek.

Based on the results of a feasibility study carried out by Con­

sultants in 1974, the project includes:

- construction of a 3 200 m runway with taxiway and apron capable

to accepting the Boeing 727 and with possible future extensions
to 4 200 m;
- teuminal buildings, including control tower, administrative
block fire and rescue services, etc.;

- navigational aids and communications;

- airport lighting, net. equipment, power supply, vehicles etc.

The new airport will make possible the expansions of direct ser­
vices to other countries in the region with jet aircraft, thus
reducing the country's dependence on South Africa for external
transport.

Consultants were engaged in February 1981 to undertake detailed

design work and the supervision of construction. Previous traffic
forecasts have also been up-dated and it is now expected that
with
increased capacity and more regular and reliable services, the
number of passengers at Maseru will increase from 40 000 in 1980
to about 115 000 in 1990.

The project was earlier estimated to cost about 60 million US

dollars at 1979 prices, but the current review of design criteria
and postponement of minor parts of the project have resulted in
savings sufficient offset subsequent price rises.

Status Formal inauguration of the airport took place in June 1985. The
operation of the airport is successively implemented during the
later part of 1985.

handling of medium range aircraft (e.g. B-737) with full payload.
Use of B-373 a/c with full belly compartment capacity for cargo
and with out Lime restrictions at the airport will improve Royal
Swazi's Air operating result.
The forecast for 1990 is 145 000 passengers in 2000 scheduled
operations while non-scheduled movements are expected to grow from
7 500 in 1978 to 24 000 in 1990, and freight and mail to expand
from 200 to 800 tonnes.
Timing and duration of the elements in the project are as follows:

- new terminal building (for peak
hour traffic of 300 passengers) 1986 - 89 3 years
- cargo building 1986 - 88 2 years

Status : The construction of a new runway, 2 600 m long and 45 m wide,

taxiway and apron and installation of airfield lighting at an
estimated cost of USD 23 million has b n completed with local
funds in May 1984.

The control tower, operations building and remote transmitter

station, a training component and a small telecommunications com­
ponent at a cost of USD 2.0 million are financed by EEC. A loan
from France of FF 20 million for financing of navigation aids,
communications and landing equipment, as well as training and

Scope : Study on improvement of Livingstone Airport.

Contents : Operations at Livingstone airport are presently restricted due to

limited runway strength, especially during the wet season, with
Boeing 737 being limited to one flight per week under speacial
dispenE'itions. The project aims at upgrading the existing
airport, including a runway reinforcement to permit regular
operations with the Boeing 737 (LCN 45). This Development enables
increase of both regional air services and tourism in Zambia.

The project consists of :

- strengthening of the runway - estimated cost USD 5.0 million
(1983)
- construction of new control building and re-alignement of
certain roads - estimated cost USD 4.0 million (1983)
- re3cue/fire building - estimated cost USD 0.3 million (1983)

Scope : Study on improvement of Ndola Airport.

Contents : Ndola is the second busiest airport in Zambia, handling 103,000

passengers and nearly 632 tonnes of freight and mail in 1982. It
is the base for domestic services to the Northern Province and
handles cargo flights to/from Europe and the Middle East.
The existing terminal huilding is old and inadequate in size and
urgently needs to be replaced by a new terminal.
A recent re-appraisal of the earlier design for the building has
been prepared and the costs are estimated to be USD 10.0 million
(1983). Should the Government policy be changed towards establish­
ing Ndola airport as a regular international airport, extensions
of the runway in the order of 40 per cent of the present length
will be required. Additional airfield lighting in conjunction with
the extensions as well as new taxi-ways will also be needed.
Estimated costs for this work are USD 6.0 million (1983).

Further impiovement of navigation equipment and also design and

construction of a new cargo terminal will be needed at a later
stage.

Scope : Study on improvement of Southdowns Airport.

Contents Southdowns (Kitwe) centrally located in the copperbelt, is a rural

airport served by Zambian domestic routes. In 1982 44.500 pass­
engers were handled. The objective of the project is to improve
and upgrade the airport so as to permit operations by medium range
jet aircraft such as the Boeing 737, rather than the smaller
turboprop HS 748's which are used at present. Existing runway
requires a total re-surfacing to bring it to an acceptable
standard for at least B-737.
Apart from rehabilitation of the runway essentially everything is
lacking. Construction of new taxiways and re-locati3n and enlarge­
ment of parking apron have to be made. Installation of airfield
lighting to admit after dark operations is needed. Provisions of
both passenger terminal and air traffic control tower buildings
have to be made together with other infrastructire zuch as car­
parking areas and re-alignment of access road etc. (In this con­
text, the implication of development of both Ndola and Southdowns
Airports, only 65 km apart, will need to be considered carefully).
A feasibility study is now needed.

the wide bodied aircraft which Zambia Airways intends to purchase
in the future as part of its modernization and development pro­
gramme.

Contents : The aim of the project is construcjtion of a new hanger at Lusaka

Airport which has the capacity to perform maintenance and overhaul
of the present fleet and future widebody aircraft.

This will entail the building of

- a widebody hanger and workshop
- a power plant over-haul building and offices
- a component overhaul facility
The present hangar is of a size that only minor maintenance checks
can be carried out. Therefore the project is considered essential
for the further planned development of the facilities in Lusaka as
there has been a steady progress towards complete self-reliance in
this field.
Construction costs are preliminary estimated to US dollars 17.5
million.

Scope Extension of the ZASTI-institute to enable an increased intake of

students from all SADCC Member States.

Contents : In order to increase the intake of students at the institute,

additional equipment, enlarged accomodation and student facilities
are needed.
The additional equipment consists mainly of two single engine and
one twin engine aircraft, various engineering workshop equipment,
fire service, telecommunications and avionics equipment.
An increase of the student and office accomodations and improve­
ments of the existing dining and kitchen facilities will also be
needed.
It is expected that the additional running costs caused by the
increased intake of students will be covered by student fees.

Status : The project was presented to donors in November 1981 at the SADCC
Conference in Blantyre. It has not yet been possible to finance
the project.
The Regional Training Council (RTC) of SADCC, Mbabane, has pro­
posed that a mission be fielded to appraise and, if necessary, to
update the original project document in the light of the current
situation at ZASTI and of the latest information concerning the
Region's air services training needs.

Action : Field mission and updated project description to be prepared in

collaboration with RTC, Zambia and SATCC.

inadequate. Implementation costs are according to a pre-feasibi­
lity study estimated to US dollars 100 million.

Status A master plan study on the development of Harare airport will

start in 1985. The outcome of this study will show if there is a
need of constructing a new terminal building or if the recon­
struction of the existing terminal will be sufficient for the
near future.

Action This project must be given high priority in the context of the
co-ordinated and integrated traffic system in the SATCC region,
as Harare will be the natural traffic hub. Therefore it must have
a high capacity of transit handling.

Scope : Stidy of high quality telecommunication services to isolated rural

communities in African countries.

Contents Some SADCC countries namely Botswana, Angola and Mozambique have
expressed interest in establishment of dedicated satellite systems
mainly aiming at national rural applications. Within the framework
of the African Domestic Satellite project Botswana is proposing
participation of SATCC in the studies at a cost of US dollars 1
million to cover suitable aspects of the wide field of required
studies.

Status The Conference ct African Ministers of Transport, Communication and

Planning decided in Cairo March 8 to 11 1983 to integrate the on­
going studies in African Dome-,tic Satellite Communications with the
Inter-Agency Co-ordinating Committee (IACC), under the leading role
of ITU (RASCOM ;rogramme). Late 83 ITU initiated missions to esta­
blish Feasibility Phase participations at a Country level.

However, the french speaking countries of Africa are carrying out

an independent feasibility study with UAPT as a leading agency.
Within a short period, practical experiments are planned in order
to demonstrate the possibilities of the domestic satellite system.
In this context, the Terms of Reference for Project 5.0.1 have been
prepared and approved by the Co-ordinating Committee of SATCC.
Canada and Italy have expressel their interest. Considering that a
second regional project regarding the Regional Satellite System is
being implemented (P. 5.0.2), it was decided to wait for the out­
come of this study before taking any concrete action.

Action : To wait for the outcome of Project 5.0.2, possible review of the

scope and the time schedules of the various activities leading to
implementation from about the end of 1986 or beginning of 1987. The
project also include training fellowships for technicians.

Contents : The microwave backbooe has been installeo and commissioned by July
1985 to provide telephone services to the listrict centers. But some
scattered rural villages aLe left out and due to the mountainous
nature of the terrain it is very expensive to construct open wire
carrier routes to these reral areas.

The rural system which is expected to te implemented consists of

- central stations located at the main exchange of the districts

- repeater stations capable to handle from 10 to 60 subscribers and

connected to the central station with small capacity radio links (2
to 10 channels)

- remote stations located at the subscribers in remote areas where

there is no commercial power and in some case!. difficult to reach

Scope : Provision of a Standard A Satellite Station facing the Atlantic

Ocean Region.

Contents : Tanzania has a Standard B Earth Station facing the Indian Ocean
Region. This Station is inadequate to meet the international
traffic because of limited capacity and because a substantial
amount of traffic is with countries having antennas operating in
the Atlantic Ocean Region. For this reasons the above traffic is
routed via NaiLobi and London.
This project is strictly related to the extension of the Inter­
national Transit Switching Centres (ITSC) in Dar es Salaam. There­
fore the project must be scheduled so as to match the commission­
ing of the projecL.

Scope : Provision of a microwave radio relay system between Zambia and

Angola.

Contents : Installation of a microwave link with a capacity of 960 telephone

channels from Zambezi to Luene, Angola, across the border to give
Angola a direct access to the terrestrial PANAFTE' network.
Since the section east of Lliene presents logistical problems, a
troposcatter system will be installed between Luene and GAZOMBO as
the first phase, and the new cross border link will link up with
this system at Gazombo until such time that a multi-hop microwave
system can be installed all the way through.

Status : Angola is in a process of expanding the national network with

microwave and troposcatter radio relay systems up to Luene in the
east, but the timing of works cannot be fixed with any accuracy.
On the Zambian side the network expansion programme in the north
western areas will provide high capacity route by mid-1985 funded
by Norad. SATCC has requested Norad to finance the project. ITU
has offered to undertake a route survey and Norad has expressed
interest in financing the same.

Action : A meeting with Angola and Zambia has to be convened in order to

formulate a project to present to Norad.

Scope : Provision of microwave system Zambia and Zimbabwe, linking

directly Harare and Lusaka, having also capacity for the future
terrestrial traffic Mozambique - Zambia.

Contents : The installation of a microwave link, 960 channels, from Lusaka

to Siavonga and across the Zambian - Zimbabwean border to Kariba.

The existing backbone microwave link i.e. Lusaka - Livingstone

which carries traffic to Zimbabwe, Botswana and other parts of
Southern Africa is congested with the international traffic in
the subregion. In order to meet the traffic demand and at the
same time provide diversity, it is necessary to provide this
tervestrial link.
Currently there is 3 120 Channel UHF radio link operating between
Lusaka and Siavonoa and no civil works are involved. A 300
Channel system has been installed between Kariba and Harare at
the Zimbabwean end.
The cost of the Zambian part of the project is estimated at USD
1.15 million whereas Zimbabwe would need a terminal at Kariba.

Status : Planning has been completed and requirements identified.

Action : Funds for the implementation of the project are being sought.
