Tunisia: Prime Minister announces launch of unified digital platform to track public project progress
Tunis - Prime Minister Sarra Zaâfrani Zenzri announced during a Cabinet meeting held at the Government Palace in Kasbah Saturday the launch of a unified digital platform to monitor the real-time progress of public projects.
The platform will feature a dashboard to measure completion rates and establish a timeline to accelerate implementation.
During the meeting, dedicated to tracking the advancement of public projects across Tunisia's governorates, Zaâfrani emphasised a significant shift in the monitoring of infrastructure and public service projects.
She stated that this issue would become a core priority for the Prime Ministry, guided by a new, nationwide approach aimed at boosting public investment as a driver for private investment, increasing economic growth, and ensuring economic and social equity.
Zaâfrani also announced that, for the first time in Tunisia, the 2026–2030 national development plan would be developed using a bottom-up participatory approach.
Project proposals will originate from local councils, then move to regional, district councils and finally national levels.
According to a Prime Ministry statement, the meeting reviewed progress across multiple development sectors, including health, transport, education, infrastructure, ICT, agriculture, industry, mining, and energy with special focus on industrial zone development projects and establishment of solar power stations.
Additional sectors reviewed included integrated development, social, environmental, tourism, commercial affairs, vocational training, employment, higher education, scientific research, youth, sports, culture and others.
In response to delays affecting many development projects, the Prime Minister emphasised the need to streamline public administration in line with national policy.
Zenzri stressed the need for every official in the administration to fulfill their assigned role as required, to monitor daily on the ground all projects under their responsibility, and to take full accountability while working to resolve most issues promptly without any delay.
She emphasised that anyone who neglects their duty in serving citizens will be held accountable.
The PM urged the adoption of forward-looking and proactive approaches to handling key public service challenges, especially those impacting daily life, such as drinking water supply interruptions and power outages across several regions, particularly during holidays and other celebrations.
She also highlighted the critical role of governors, delegates and local officials in promptly resolving issues and removing obstacles in order to meet citizens' expectations.
She called on all government representatives to double their efforts and remain fully engaged in monitoring all matters related to public service delivery.

How New Regional Pipeline Deals are Driving Africa's Energy Future
Three significant developments in Africa's energy landscape made headlines this past month: the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) reached 60% completion, the Republic of Congo finalized a pipeline cooperation agreement with Russia, and Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea signed a deal to advance a joint natural gas pipeline. These milestones underscore increasing momentum behind transnational pipeline projects in Africa, which are not only critical to unlocking hydrocarbon value chains, but also pivotal to industrial growth, regional cooperation and efforts to end energy poverty. With African Energy Week (AEW) 2025: Invest in African Energies set to take place in Cape Town from September 29 to October 3, recent advances in the midstream sector underscore the growing role of large-scale infrastructure in securing Africa's energy future. AEW 2025 will provide a platform to unpack how strategic partnerships and regional integration can transform pipelines from isolated projects into engines of inclusive development. EACOP: Connecting Uganda to Global Markets The 1,443-km EACOP is set to link Uganda's oil fields in the Lake Albert region to the port of Tanga in Tanzania, facilitating the export of up to 246,000 barrels per day. With 60% of the project now completed – including land acquisition, environmental approvals and construction – EACOP is on track to become the longest heated crude oil pipeline in the world. More than just a logistical asset, EACOP represents a critical economic corridor. It is expected to generate thousands of jobs, stimulate local content and unlock ancillary infrastructure such as roads, storage facilities and power lines. By enabling Uganda to monetize its crude reserves, the pipeline also enhances fiscal revenues that can be reinvested into energy access, education and healthcare. At AEW 2025, stakeholders will explore how flagship projects like EACOP can be used as case studies for balancing investment, environmental responsibility and community development, while ensuring African nations retain sovereignty over their resources. Russia-Congo Deal: A New Axis in Pipeline Diplomacy Just days after the EACOP update, Russia ratified a bilateral agreement with the Republic of Congo for the construction of the Pointe-Noire-Loutete-Maloukou-Trechot oil pipeline. The agreement lays the groundwork for joint efforts in planning, financing, construction and operation of the pipeline, set to be completed in three years. The move strengthens energy ties between the two countries and opens the door for Russian investment in Congo's midstream sector, potentially accelerating the development of critical infrastructure needed to monetize and export the country's hydrocarbon resources. It also signals a shift in Africa's external energy partnerships, with Congo turning to non-Western allies to build out its infrastructure and secure long-term offtake agreements. It reinforces the idea that diversified geopolitical engagement can help African nations close the infrastructure gap faster, provided partnerships are structured transparently and with shared development objectives. As African countries look to strengthen global cooperation, AEW 2025 will offer a space to evaluate new alliances, discuss risk-sharing mechanisms and align infrastructure development with continental priorities under the African Union's Agenda 2063. Nigeria-Equatorial Guinea: A Boost for West African Gas Integration A recent agreement between Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, signed on June 18, aims to fast-track the development of a joint natural gas pipeline, designed to increase cross-border gas trade and support export capacity. This project is expected to deepen energy cooperation between the two countries, facilitate access to cleaner fuels and contribute to the diversification of energy sources in the region. It also exemplifies how collaborative infrastructure development can unlock new economic opportunities, stimulate investments and enhance regional energy security. Midstream infrastructure companies are also stepping up efforts to improve regional gas trade and distribution. The West African Gas Pipeline Company, backed by Chevron among other shareholders, operates a vital pipeline that transports Nigerian gas to Benin, Togo and Ghana. This pipeline supports power generation and industrial use across multiple West African countries and plays a key role in diversifying the regional energy mix and promoting cross-border gas trade. Meanwhile, the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Company, which manages the Mozambique-South Africa Gas Pipeline, recently opened a new office in Maputo, aiming to strengthen regional gas connectivity and market integration. Pipelines and the Fight Against Energy Poverty While Africa accounts for 17% of the global population, it accounts for just 3.3% of global power generation. Energy poverty remains a major constraint on industrialization, education, healthcare and entrepreneurship. Pipelines, by moving fuel to where it is needed most – across borders and into domestic markets – can help address this imbalance. 'In addition to exporting crude, new pipelines have the potential to deliver LPG and natural gas to underserved regions, reducing dependence on biomass and accelerating the shift toward cleaner household and industrial energy,' says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber, adding that coordinated planning between countries can ensure pipelines are multi-purpose and scalable, with clear economic multipliers for local populations. 'AEW 2025 will shine a light on the role of pipelines in achieving universal energy access, examining regulatory frameworks, project finance models and technology solutions that can make these developments more inclusive and efficient,' he notes.

AEW: Invest in African Energies AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy.

Uganda: The end of the runway? Kabalega airport fabled finish line
Uganda's Kabalega International Airport (KIA) has featured in several budget and State of the Nation addresses, but it has remained at 95 percent completion, and the government now says that the facility will begin operations within the next financial year. While presenting the budget for the 2025/26 financial year, Finance Minister Matia Kasaija reported that the 'operationalisation of Kabalega International Airport' is one of the 'priority interventions' but did not provide more details. Mr Kasaija echoed President Yoweri Museveni's statement during the State of the Nation Address on June 5 that the airport is near completion, as part of the requisite infrastructure that the Ugandan government has invested in to support commercial oil production. But the project has been stuck 'at 95 percent completion' for over two years, lacking an air traffic control tower and other infrastructure, partly due to modifications in the design for a mobile air traffic control tower, which was dropped midway. The switch to a fixed tower required a redesign of this aspect, which sent the project contractor back to the drawing board, causing delays, according to Amos Muriisa, the contractor's spokesperson. In the next financial year, the government has allocated Ush6.92 trillion ($1.91 billion) for integrated transport infrastructure, namely roads, bridges, railways, water transport, and air transport, to undertake interventions that include completion of the airport. Two years ago, the contractor, SBC Uganda Ltd, a joint venture of Israeli-British firms, Shikun and Binui International-SBI, and Colas Ltd, sought to avoid delays and proposed handing over the project to the government, with a plan for the airport's air traffic control to be handled by Entebbe International Airport. Construction of Uganda's second international airport began in April 2018 and was expected to be completed in 48 months as part of the support infrastructure for oil and gas in the Lake Albert region. Its completion was planned to coincide with the surge in oil and gas logistics, as oil companies were preparing to ship in heavy equipment ahead of launching field development works at the upstream oil and gas projects Tilenga and Kingfisher, as well as midstream operations of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop). But, as the airport fell behind the timelines, the oil majors shipped all equipment, including four drilling rigs and pipes, by road from Mombasa to the drilling sites in the Albertine Graben. China National Offshore Oil Corporation launched well spudding at its Kingfisher oilfield on January 24, 2023, while TotalEnergies began drilling six months later at two of the three drilling sites of the Tilenga project. Funded to the tune of €264 million ($309 million) through loans from the UK Export Finance and Standard Chartered Bank, officials also blame the airport's slow progress on funding shortfalls, as the government delayed disbursing additional funds for the project. Mr Muriisa said that Covid-19 restrictions disrupted the pace of construction, as the contractor was compelled to halve the workforce, per Ministry of Health directives. The airport was intended to support Uganda's oil and gas upstream and midstream operations by facilitating the transportation of heavy equipment to the oil-rich Lake Albert region, but it is now far behind the oilfield developments it was expected to service. Industry executives argue that Kabalega remains a critical project for the sector. The airport has a 3.5km runway, 45-metre shoulders, a cargo terminal, and an apron that can hold four large Antonov-sized aircraft simultaneously, but the critical air traffic control tower remains the missing link. Other infrastructure to support commercial oil production includes 700 kilometres of tarmac roads that have been constructed in the Albertine region, and the export pipeline, currently at 58 percent. © Copyright 2022 Nation Media Group.

Public Works Entities Must Create Income-Generating Initiatives and Not Rely on Government Funding
The Portfolio Committee on Public Works and Infrastructure has called on entities within the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure portfolio to explore innovative solutions to improve their financial sustainability, rather than relying solely on the parent department for funding and bailouts. The committee today received a briefing from four public works entities on their 2025/26 annual performance plans and budget allocations. The entities include the Independent Development Trust (IDT), Agrément South Africa (ASA), the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), and the Council for the Built Environment (CBE). The committee expressed concerns over the absence of both the Minister and Deputy Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure from the meeting. Members of the committee were not pleased with the Minister's backlog in oral and written questions. In addition, the committee also raised alarm over the continued lack of transparency regarding the costs associated with the Minister's overseas travel, which remain undisclosed. Regarding the IDT, the committee raised serious concerns about the entity's continued financial dependence on the department. Members of the committee questioned whether the entity has any concrete plans to improve its revenue-generating capacity and reduce its reliance on bailouts. The committee also urged the entity to promote inclusivity for categories of previously disadvantaged people, women, youth, and the people with disabilities. The committee further expressed concern over the high legal costs incurred by the IDT and recommended that the entity strengthens its internal capacity to mitigate litigation risks, especially during ongoing projects. The committee called on ASA to identify alternative revenue streams, as continued dependence on government funding is unsustainable. It criticised the weak transformation and job creation targets presented and called for bolder, measurable commitments. ASA's ICT systems were also flagged and the committee encouraged the entity to work collaboratively with departments such as Human Settlements to broaden its impact. T The committee further urged ASA to establish testing sites and laboratories to ensure compliance with technical standards, noting that current operations do not adequately support this function. Committee Chairperson, Ms Caril Phiri, expressed concern over irregularities in contractor grading by the CIDB. She highlighted reports of contractors receiving higher grades without completing corresponding project scopes and urged CIDB to address and dispel public perceptions that grading statuses are being bought. The committee also raised alarm over the CIDB's claim that contractors involved in the recent collapsed building in George were not registered with them, but rather with the National Home Builders Registration Council. The committee called for greater regulatory alignment and oversight between these entities, the national and provincial departments of human settlements, and all municipal councils to prevent such tragedies.
