tender Background
About the Funding Agency
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is Africa's largest regional economic bloc, uniting 21 member states for trade and development by replacing the Preferential Trade Area (PTA) in 1994, aiming to create a single market through free trade, customs unions, and infrastructure development to boost economic growth and integration across the region. It focuses on eliminating trade barriers, improving transport, harmonizing policies, and fostering a better environment for private sector growth, with significant achievements in liberalizing trade and digitalizing processes.
Established in December 1994, succeeding the PTA, COMESA's goal is to foster economic cooperation, create a large trading bloc, and build towards an African Economic Community, benefiting its over 600 million people.

Locations
Comoros
Comoros - a small island state with constrained resources and vulnerability to climate risks - continues to invest in basic infrastructure to support economic resilience, including improvements in transportation, energy and water services. Development partners and international finance institutions have been involved in projects to enhance connectivity and service delivery, but limited domestic fiscal capacity and high costs present ongoing challenges. Strengthening institutional frameworks and expanding private sector engagement are key to enhancing infrastructure’s development impact.

Madagascar
Madagascar continues to prioritise infrastructure investment to address persistent gaps in transport, energy and water systems that constrain growth and regional integration. Road rehabilitation, port upgrades and rural electrification projects - often supported by multilateral partners - aim to improve connectivity across the island and strengthen agricultural value chains. However, vulnerability to climate shocks and limited fiscal space challenge implementation. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving project governance and expanding private sector participation remain essential to translating infrastructure spending into sustained and inclusive economic development.
