PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS The country has also made noceable progress in their compliance with ICAO safety and secu-‐ rity standards through an update of their regu-‐ latory framework, and training of their tech-‐ nical staff. The APL1’s closing date has just been extended from end December 2011 to end June, 2013, to allow the full compleon of on-going and a few scheduled acvies, to en-‐ sure that the project’s implementaon is fully sasfactory. Nigeria, as the only country in the region, has received a US Federal Aviaon Administraon (FAA) Internaonal Aviaon Safety Assess-ments (IASA) Category 1 rang in August 2010. This means that the Nigerian Civil Aviaon Au-thority, is capable of enforcing internaonal air safety standards set by ICAO for aircras oper-aon and maintenance, and that the country has the laws and regulaons necessary to oversee air carriers in accordance with mini-mum internaonal standards. As a result, Ni-geria’s registered carriers, such as Arik Air, can now offer direct flights to the USA for the first me in nearly 30 years. Despite improvements in safety and security oversight of the aviaon sector however, cri-‐ cal reforms are sll needed regarding the over-all instuonal arrangements and governance in the sector. An in-depth study on instuon-al reform is in its last version providing some insight into the development of a beer over-all strategy and financial management. A roadmap and a discussion of the study’s rec-ommendaons will be presented at a work-shop organized by the Ministry of Aviaon next year. The recerficaon process of Nigeri-an air carriers has been sasfactorily estab-lished, and contributed to air transport safety improvement by strengthening NCAA’s tech-nical staff capacity. Some airlines sll remain to be re-cerfied in line with the new revised guidelines, include Dana Air that has been in-volved in a fatal accident last year in Lagos. Despite slower comparave progress, Benin has also shown some significant achievements in the last year. Compliance with ICAO safety standards has increased from 19.2% 2007 to 42.9% in 2012. Senegal’s audit is sll outstand-ing but the internal audit carried out by the CAA concluded that compliance with ICAO's standards is 85% and 89% for safety and secu-rity respecvely.

In support of the Transport Sector Investment Program (TSIP), the project’s goal is the rehabilitaon and preparaon of designs for part of the paved naonal road network, and the rehabili-taon and/or upgrading of regional airports. The three works contracts, namely; (i) the paving and rehabilitaon of the runway at Kig-oma airport (ii) the rehabilitaon of the main runway at Tabora airport, as well as (iii) the extension, rehabilitaon and paving of the run-way and the replacement of the apron, termi-nal and car parking at Bukoba airport, were signed in FY12. The project received addional funding (AF) of US$59 million on 30 of June 2011. This prompt-ed the revision of the project development ob-jecves and the expansion of the scope of the aviaon component. As menoned above the AF will finance the works and the associated supervision services to rehabilitate, expand and/or extend the exisng taxiways and apron of Zanzibar Airport. The Revoluonary Govern-ment of Zanzibar (GoZ) has also secured a loan from the China Exim Bank to finance a new ter-minal building. Contact person is Negede Lewi at nlewi@worldbank.org 13
