PPP Owner: Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MoTI). Master Plan Study Team The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Study Team (JST), consisting of the following 16 experts, undertook the Master Plan study: Team Leader/ Development Planning; Logistics Plan; Infrastructure Development; Logistics Infrastructure 1; Logistics Infrastructure 2 (Railway); Freight Traffic Analysis and Demand Forecasting; Industrial Development and Investment Promotion; Public-Private Partnership; Mineral Resources and Energy; Power; Agriculture and Agri-Business; Urban Development/Land Use Specialist; Water; Economist (Socio Economic Analysis); Environmentalist (Social and Environmental Considerations); and Coordinator/Human Resource Development. Northern Economic Corridor The Northern Economic Corridor (NEC) is a multi-modal corridor, consisting of road, rail, pipeline, and inland waterways transport, and is recognized as a significant corridor for logistics in East Africa. The main road network runs from Mombasa Sea Port through Kenya and Uganda, to Rwanda and Burundi, and to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The road network also links Kenya and Uganda to Juba in South Soudan. There are some obstacles presently in the NEC that have led to an increase in transport costs and significant time delays within the NEC ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JST/MOTI I and have hindered the economic development of the region, specifically inland areas. These obstacles include: inadequate infrastructure; poor connectivity of modes; long delays of cargo at the port and border posts; and lack of goods to transport for the return trip from the inland area to Mombasa port. Based on these obstacles, the overall objective of the Master Plan is to improve logistics for the NEC as well as to provide an integrated regional development strategy consistent with sub-regional and national development plans. It is hoped that this will: spur regional economic development within Kenya, as well as Uganda, improve the development of the industrial, agricultural, mining, petroleum, manufacturing and tourism sectors, lead to transport and logistics infrastructure development, result in an efficient and integrated multi-modal transportation system, result in the diversification of financial sources for infrastructure through PPP arrangements and infrastructure bonds, and reduce the bottlenecks to efficient cargo transportation, such as road and port congestion, as well as cross border delays. Master Plan Development Vision and Strategies The development vision for the NEC is: ‘to be the leading economic corridor with integrated transport and logistics systems in Africa’. The Development Vision has four key words/phrases which make the NEC distinct from other corridors, and these are: leading, to be the leading, most efficient and reliable in Africa and the success can be applied to other corridors, integrated transportation system, which offers diversified and multi-modal options (road, rail, waterway, and pipeline) and facilitates regional integration in East Africa, integrated logistic hub, in which multi-modal options are available, and industrial areas connected and promoted by transport and logistic infrastructure, economic corridor, stimulate regional economic development in the area surrounding the corridor through development of ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JST/MOTI II transport infrastructure, logistic facilities and creating industries (JST, 2016). The proposed Development Vision will be attained through the implementation of 5 strategies, namely regional, industrial, and transport strategies, which will be strengthened by organizational and policy strategy as illustrated in Figure 0.1 below. Figure 0.1 Proposed Five Strategies for the NEC Source: JST, 2016 Master Plan Target Areas: The target area of the Master Plan study covers the following routes and surrounding areas (1): Main route o Mombasa – Nairobi – Tororo –Kampala – Katuna – Kigali (Rwanda) Sub-routes o Eldoret – Nadapal – Juba (South Sudan) o Tororo – Gulu – Elegu – Juba o Kampala – Gulu – Elegu – Juba o
