Kenya is spearheading the implementation of the LAPSSET Corridor Project. Completion of the LAPSSET Corridor Project will strengthen the position of the East African region as a gateway and transport – logistical hub. LAPSSET Corridor Project comprises of two (2) key elements: a. an infrastructure corridor of about 500 m wide, where the road, railway, pipelines, power transmission and other projects, including, proposed Lamu Port with thirty-two (32) Deep Sea Berths at Manda Bay; b. an economic corridor of about 50 km on either side of the infrastructure corridor where the industrial investments shall be situated; The LAPSSET Corridor Project is a regional project with enormous economic viability, and upon its completion, the Project will facilitate trade, promote regional economic integration and interconnectivity, among other benefits. With good understanding of LAPSSET Corridor Project’s regional impact, a comprehensive assessment of the entire Project was carried out. Based on this assessment, Lamu Port Development specifically, the transaction advisory services and technical assistance were identified as components required for the successful realisation of the entire LAPSSET Corridor Project. The key objectives of developing Lamu Port at Manda Bay include, providing the much needed Sea Port and transport link to serve the ‘ever-increasing’ import and export cargo base from Ethiopia, Kenya and South-Sudan, among other countries. Within its strategic framework, the LAPSSET Corridor Development Authority (LCDA – the Executing Agency) plans to operate and finance the development of Lamu Port through private sector investment/concession. In particular, the proposed thirty-two (32) Berths at Lamu Port shall be secured, operated and maintained as follows: a. the first three (3) Berths shall be secured by concession to the private sector for operation; b. the reminder twenty-nine (29) Berths shall be procured either by concession or other financial structure principally, for construction and operation; Following LCDA’s strategy and in line with Lamu Port Development, transaction advisory services and technical assistance remain key requirements. The Transaction Advisory Services shall help setup the ‘much needed’ and viable Transaction Plan for the development of Lamu Port. It is essential that the resultant Transaction Plan feasibly maps out all the key factors of the proposed Project, defines the transaction structure along with the scope and volume of the project in addition to defining the Project Parties and their contributions, among others. The Technical Assistance (TA) is targeted for specific activities/tasks including, stakeholder engagement and consultation, as part of ESIA, inter alia. A NEPAD – IPPF Grant not exceeding USD 1,936,560 (i.e. One million, nine hundred and thirty-six thousand, five hundred and sixty, United States Dollars only), equivalent to 90% of the total project cost. A total of USD 205,030 (10%) shall be secured from the government of Kenya. With good consideration of the capacity of executing agency (LCDA) and the project, it is recommended that the Bank approves the Grant as part of the preparation measures essential for the development of Lamu Port at Manda Bay.
