AICD will provide a baseline against which future improvements in infrastructure services can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results achieved from donor support. It should also provide a more solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in the infrastructure sectors in Africa. AICD will produce a series of reports (such as this one) that provide an overview of the status of public expenditure, investment needs, and sector performance in each of the main infrastructure sectors, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. The World Bank will publish a summary of AICD’s findings in spring 2008. The underlying data will be made available to the public, through an interactive Web site, allowing users to download customized data reports and perform simple simulation exercises. QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. The first phase of AICD focuses on 24 countries that together account for 85 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), population, and infrastructure aid flows of Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Chad, Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo), Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

  • Customs Report July 2016
    Customs report July 2016 July 2016 | Page 1 Preface The report brings a selection of customs seizures of different products in different ports and airports. The purpose of the document is to reflect the patterns and trends of smuggling and their sizes. Budget The approved customs budget for FY 2016/2017 is EGP 36.5 billion. Smuggling Cases Being a strategically located country in terms of trade, especially illicit forms, we can firmly say that Egypt’s customs authorities have seen it all. From drugs to dog food to sexual enhancers, customs authorities in Egypt’s numerous ports are constantly exposed to innovative smuggling attempts that they have gradually become experts in dealing with. The following section highlights the wide range of trends and sorts of smuggling attempts that customs authorities have had throughout Egypt’s ports in the month of July. Money trafficking June closed its smuggling inventory with numerous seizures of money trafficking. The trend of smuggling money out of Egypt witnessed its height just before the Small Feast season, with t he trend continuing until July. Among the money trafficking cases seized are the following: Luxor airport: Luxor Airport witnessed one case of a 57 year-old Egyptian female traveling to Qatar carrying EGP 97,000 with her. The case was classified as smuggling as she did not declare the amount of money to the customs officers. Also, On July 1st, Luxor authorities recorded 14 seizures cases: the actions were jointly operated by the customs and the tax intelligence. The raids were done in the local markets of Luxor, in the roads and on customs post clearing audits on documents.

Thus, we embarked on radical reforms towards bringing a turnaround of fortune. To lead the change of its network and fleet, the airline undertook a thorough evaluation to realize what would fit perfectly into our business and what would allow us to better serve our customers worldwide. As a key preliminary outcome of this process of evaluation, we have developed a restructuring plan of the network and fleet that was put into implementation phase to be ended by FY 2020/2021. As part of this plan, 50% of the short term phase was completed by receiving the fifth Boeing 737-800 NG contracted last year on a purchase sale / lease back with Boeing and DAE with last one to be delivered by December 2017. This short term deal will leave our fleet with 69 A/C and our fleet planning team is implementing a 5 year plan that will drive the biggest A/C order in the company’s history of 45 A/C of different sizes to replace number of the current units and increase the fleet size to 84 A/C by 2021, This plan aims to reduce our unit cost benefiting from the fuel efficient new technology A/C and enhancing our product to deliver better service to our customers.
