The activity is ongoing and it is too early<br />
to tell if there are outcomes. PPIAF will<br />
continue to monitor the results to capture<br />
the outcomes and impacts of this activity.<br />
2. South Africa: Independent Power Producer Regulatory Framework ($440,000): this activity was<br />
approved on December 28, 2009. Note that the activity was approved in advance of the establishment of<br />
the Middle-Income Countries Non-Core Trust Fund, but the implementation of the activity only<br />
commenced after the non-core fund was launched. The activity will <strong>cover</strong>:<br />
� Review of the regulatory work products to date in the government's REFIT Programme, in<br />
particular the Amendments to the Electricity Regulation Act and the National Energy Regulator<br />
Act<br />
� Development of the regulatory environment for licensing<br />
� Review and recommend amendments to legislation relating to Independent Power Producers at<br />
the municipal level<br />
This is a recipient-executed activity by the PPP Unit in the National Treasury of South Africa. Its<br />
implementation was delayed until urgent issues within Eskom (South Africa's power utility) were resolved<br />
around the financing of an urgently needed major base-load power plant. This unavoidably meant a very<br />
slow start for the activity. The National Treasury finalized its evaluation of proposals and the selected<br />
consultant is mobilizing. This activity is ongoing and is expected to be completed by August 2012.<br />
3. Colombia: Support to Concession Agency (INCO) ($249,484): this activity was approved on<br />
February 28, 2011. The activity supported the government of Colombia to improve the planning,<br />
structuring, award process, implementation, management, and regulation of road infrastructure projects<br />
under the concession modality. The assistance concentrated on strengthening the capacity of the<br />
National Institute for Concessions (INCO) to deliver projects able to attract private investment. The activity<br />
recommended changes in the procedures from project preparation to contract management and the<br />
reforms are aimed to help the government to make investments more efficient and transparent. INCO is<br />
now embarked on an ambitious program to develop new projects mainly in roads, railroads, and airports.
