Project or Programme

National Drainage Programme (NDP)

The National Drainage Programme aims to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land in order to reduce water logging and consequent soil salinity, in addition to making more land available for cultivation. This is expected to result in higher crop yields in the target areas, higher farm incomes, and increased food security and poverty reduction in general. The project has three components; (I) Construction and Rehabilitation of Subsurface and Surface Drainage, (II) Strengthening EPADP Capacity for Operation and Maintenance, and (III) Project Management and Institutional Development Assistance. (Environmental category II)

tender Background

About the Funding Agency

The African Development Bank is a regional multilateral development finance institution, established in 1963, with a mandate to further economic development and social progress of African countries, individually and collectively. 80 member countries including all the 54 African countries and 26 non-African countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia own the Bank. 

The Bank's principal functions include:
  1. using its resources for the financing of investment projects and programs relating to the economic and social development of its Regional Member Countries (RMCs);
  2. the provision of technical assistance for the preparation and execution of development projects and programs;
  3. promoting investment in Africa of public and private capital for development purposes; and (iv) to respond to requests for assistance in coordinating development policies and plans of RMCs. In its operations, the Bank is also required to give special attention to projects and programs that promote regional integration.
The Bank began its operations from its headquarters, in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on July 1, 1966. For the purpose of its operations, the Bank also maintains Regional Resource Centers and Field Offices within RMCs.
 
For projects financed by the Bank resources, the charter requires suppliers for contracts for institutional activities and projects to be nationals of a member country. Only bidders from a member country of the Bank are eligible to participate in the procurement process. For goods to be eligible, they must originate from a member country.

Locations

Egypt

Egypt has undertaken one of its most ambitious infrastructure investment programs in history, with hundreds of billions of dollars allocated to transport networks, new urban developments, energy and water systems, and industrial zones that underpin economic diversification and regional integration. These investments - including extensive road and rail expansion, smart city initiatives, and major renewable and utility projects - have enhanced Egypt’s position as a logistics and production hub while supporting macroeconomic stability and private sector growth. Public service delivery indices rank the country highly in infrastructure quality among Africa’s economies, though reforms continue to improve the regulatory climate and attract foreign investment.
