Trans-African Highways Network Routes Annex I TRANS-AFRICAN HIGHWAYS NETWORK ROUTES I. INTRODUCTION Ten routes have been identified for the Trans-African Highways Network. The numbers begin with “TAH” which stands for “Trans-African Highway”. This is followed by digits 1 to 10. II. ROUTE NUMBERS AND ROUTES Table AI-1 provides the route designations (TAH route number), descriptions and approximate lengths. The designation of TAH routes could be combined with other regional route designations (e.g. TAH 4 and N1 in East Africa). The TAH routes are shown in Figure AI-1.

  • Evaluating Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Gaborone Dam Catchment, Botswana, from 1984–2015 Using GIS and Remote Sensing

Kenabatho 1 , Bhagabat P. Parida 2 and Joyce G. Maphanyane 1 1 Department of Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, University of Botswana, P/Bag UB 00704 Gaborone, Botswana; [email protected] (P.K.K.); [email protected] (J.G.M.) 2 Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Botswana, P/Bag UB 0061 Gaborone, Botswana; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +267-355-5475 Received: 31 May 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 20 September 2019 Abstract: Land use land cover (LULC) change is one of the major driving forces of global environmental change in many developing countries. In this study, LULC changes were evaluated in the Gaborone dam catchment in Botswana between 1984 and 2015. The catchment is a major source of water supply to Gaborone city and its surrounding areas. The study employed Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) using Landsat imagery of 1984, 1995, 2005 and 2015. Image classification for each of these imageries was done through supervised classification using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier. Six major LULC categories, cropland, bare land, shrub land, built-up area, tree savanna and water bodies, were identified in the catchment. It was observed that shrub land and tree savanna were the major LULC categories between 1984 and 2005 while shrub land and cropland dominated the catchment area in 2015. The rates of change were generally faster in the 1995–2005 and 2005–2015 periods.

  • The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA)
    The Dakar Agenda for Action (DAA) Moving Forward Financing for Africa’s Infrastructure I. Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships for infrastructure transformation 1. We, African Heads of State and Government, Ministers and representatives of African countries, Regional Economic Communities, leading business, investment and private sector organizations, development finance institutions as well as development partner institutions, met in Dakar, Senegal on 15 June 2014 at the Financing Summit for Africa’s Infrastructure, to build and strengthen innovative synergies between the public and private sectors towards mobilizing pan-African and global financial investments for infrastructure development in the continent. 2. The Dakar Financing Summit was held under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency Macky SALL, President of the Republic of Senegal and Chairperson of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). The Summit was preceded by a Preparatory Forum on 14 June. 3. Noting that infrastructure development remains a key driver and a critical enabler for sustainable growth in Africa, we reaffirm that the current favourable economic landscape in the continent provides unique opportunity to collectively address the infrastructure deficit by financing critical national and regional high impact projects. Addressing Africa’s infrastructure gaps will help in creating the economic pre-conditions needed for longer-term growth enshrined in the goals of African Union and NEPAD. 4. Acknowledging Africa’s steady growth in the past decade, its much improved macro-economic performance and public finance management which helped in withstanding the impact of the global economic crisis, we re-emphasize the paramount need for the growth impact to be geared towards social inclusiveness and competitiveness through infrastructure modernization.
