RAP summary Project Title: Rehabilitation of Bujumbura – Rumonge Road Section Country: Burundi Department: RDGE Division: RDGE 3 Project Category: 1 1. INTRODUCTION The Rumonge - Bujumbura road section is one of the EAC roads under the Multi-National Tanzania/Burundi: Nyakanazi-Kasulu-Manyovu/Rumonge-Rutunga-Bujumbura Road Project. The Project objective is to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing Rumonge–Bujumbura road (78km) section to bituminous that conform to East African Community standards with the aim of enhancing trade, transport and tourism in the East African Region as well as improving socioeconomic conditions for the population along Lake Tanganyika. The project is being implemented by EAC through Burundian Office of Roads (Office des Routes – OdR). OdR, under the Ministry of Transport, Public Works, and Equipment is the roads authority of Burundi. The importance of the project road lays on the fact that apart from linking Burundi with Tanzania, the road provides transportation route for agricultural and mining produce to and from the Great Lakes countries in particular the eastern DRC. The project shall ultimately improve life for the population along Lake Tanganyika, this road being a driver of the economy of the Great Lakes countries and Burundi in particular, along the Central Trade Corridor.

CEGA Working Paper Series No. AfD-0909. Center of Evaluation for Global Action. University of California, Berkeley. Transaction Costs and Smallholder Farmers’ Participation in Banana Markets in the Great Lakes Region John Jagwe1, 2, Emily Ouma2, Charles Machethe1 1Department of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development, University of Pretoria (LEVLO, 002, Pretoria, South Africa); 2International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Burundi, c/o IRAZ, B.P. 91 Gitega Keywords: smallholder farmers, market participation, transaction costs, bananas Abstract. This article analyses the determinants of the discrete decision of a household on whether to participate in banana markets using the FIML bivariate probit method. The continuous decision on how much to sell or buy is analyzed by establishing the supply and demand functions while accounting for the selectivity bias. Results indicate that buying and selling decisions are not statistically independent and the random disturbances in the buying and selling decisions are affected in opposite directions by random shocks.

  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.
