The RIS spells four key areas of strategic focus namely, (i) regional infrastructure; (ii) institutional capacity building; (iii) partnerships and cross-cutting issues. Regional infrastructure focuses on: (i) formulation and review of strategic frameworks; (ii) support to development corridors; (iii) project preparation; and (iv) Investments. Institutional capacity building focuses: (i) rationalization of RECs; (ii) strengthening of regional and national institutions; and (iii) trade facilitation and capacity building. Partnerships and Cross-cutting issues focus on (i) aid for trade; and (ii) regional financial integration. The instruments available at the Bank for financing trade-related activities generally fall under three main categories: (i) African Development Fund (ADF); (ii) African Development Bank (ADB); and (iii)Thematic Trust Funds. The section below gives a brief overview of the three. The African Development Fund (ADF) Within ADF, most of the incentives to support trade facilitation focus on filling regional infrastructural gaps. Under ADF, the following financing instruments are mostly used: Project and Program Loans and Grants: These instruments comprise project and program loans and grants (where debt is unsustainable), including multinational projects, sector investments, lines of credit, and sovereign equity participation in public-private partnerships. Project investments through loans and grants are the primary vehicle for Fund support in ADF including for trade- related regional operations; Policy-Based Operations: PBOs serve as an important instrument for channeling ADF resources to governance operations that help countries implement reform programs, build capacity, strengthen institutions, and increase spending on poverty reduction priorities. However, PBOs are rarely used to finance traditional trade facilitation projects. They generally come in the form of national budget support interventions; Partial Risk Guarantees: PRGs were introduced in ADF-12 with a view to leveraging private sector financing and incentivizing governments to undertake the policy and fiscal reforms necessary to mitigate performance-related risks. Countries generally use their Performance Based Allocation (PBA) resources to finance their participation in PRGs. It is important to note that ADF is the Banks concessional window and that resources are generally channeled to Low Income Countries (LICs). Country eligibility is determined by assessing gross national income per capita, creditworthiness, and performance. Annual Debt Sustainability Analyses is used to determine the risk of debt distress of each beneficiary country and set appropriate financing terms. For more information on instruments available in the ADF window, please contact Jean-Guy Afrika, Trade Policy Analyst at  HYPERLINK "mailto:j.afrika@afdb.org" j.afrika@afdb.org African Development Bank The ADB window mainly caters for projects in Middle Income Countries but also private sector projects. Standard financial products consist of loans, guarantees, equity and quasi equity, risk management products and technical assistance. Other products include a Trade Finance Initiative that was launched as part of the Bank s response to the financial crisis. For more information on the main features, basic terms and conditions of ADB financial instruments, please peruse the attached brochure on financial products offered at the ADB. Thematic Trust Funds To complement its Regional Operations, the Bank leverages its thematic trust funds to provide technical assistance and conduct economic and sector work. At the Bank, technical trust funds usually focus on (i) project preparation; (ii) the development and implementation of institutional, policy and regulatory frameworks; (iii) climate change adaption and clean development mechanisms; (iii) road safety and overloading control; and (iv) a broad range of water sector issues. Technical and thematic partnerships such as the Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility, the Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa and the Water Partnership Program are critical in guiding the policy dialogue and the planning and programming of regional and national infrastructure operations. Annex I: Example of an upcoming Thematic Trust Fund The Africa Trade Fund Background To promote Africas efforts to integrate into regional and global trading system, the Bank through the NEPAD, Regional Integration and Trade Department (ONRI) recently established the Africa Trade Fund (AfTra). AfTra is established as a responsive technical assistance facility for Regional Member Countries (RMCs) and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) to participate in and benefit from regional and international market opportunities. Canada provided CAD 15 million in seed capital to kick start the Fund. Objective of AfTra The goal of the Fund is to achieve more sustainable economic growth, increased poverty reduction and progress towards the MDGs by RMCs through enhanced integration into regional and global trading systems. AfTra is established in the context of the World Trade Organizations (ϲʹ) Aid for Trade (AfT) Initiative, which aims to assist low income countries to develop trade-related skills, regulatory regimes and infrastructure in order to enhance their trade performance and competitiveness. AfTra is expected to complement the Banks existing resources and instruments to deliver AfT in RMCs. Strategic focus Operationally, AfTra will focus on four key strategic areas, namely: improving trade facilitation in RMCs and RECs (40% of resources); product and market development, with a focus on agricultural producers (30% of resources); strengthening capacity of national and regional African institutions to effectively support trade facilitation and market access(15% of resources); increasing the Banks ability to effectively support increased trade competitiveness and performance among RMCs (15% of resources). Given the scale and complexity of the challenges of trade development AfTra will prioritize its interventions. Priority will be given to Fragile States, existing corridors and promotion of women participation in market and product development. Additional critical success factors will also include alignment with RMCs and RECs programs of action. The selection and prioritization of pipeline of projects/programs to be supported by AfTra will be guided by the principles for aid effectiveness (selectivity, country ownership, results focused, private sector development and gender focus) and relevant lessons from the Banks experience in managing thematic funds. Timeframe and start of activities The Fund has a lifeline of five years. The Bank is currently finalizing the necessary documents such as the strategic business plan and operations manual in order to kick-start the Fund. /CHIJV|dT78hW hc5B*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH ph!! tH hD5B*PJmH phsH /hchq56B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH ,hqh6B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH ,hqh 6B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH ,hqhC6B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH &hq5B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH &h11U5B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH ,h3uhD5B*CJ PJaJ mH phsH  HIJWX ` a { | $ & Fd7$8$H$a$gdc (pp]^p`gd $da$gdc $da$gdc$ & Fda$gdc$ (pp]^p`a$gdC VWX  $ 7 ; _ ƫuuuuu`I`4`)hW hB*CJKHOJQJaJph-hW h B*CJKHOJPJQJaJph)hW h B*CJKHOJQJaJph5hW h~B*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH phtH 5hW h B*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH phtH 5hW hB*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH phtH 8hW hc5B*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH ph!! tH 8hW h 5B*CJKHOJPJQJaJnH ph!! tH _ a  & , B z { | ѸџццѸnS:1hW h~B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW hc5B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH /hW hc56B*OJPJQJmH phsH 1hW hwsB*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 1hW hB*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 1hW h~B*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 1hW hcB*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH )hW hcB*CJKHOJQJaJph   ( K N P u _ʹʹ̀ʹʹeʹ̀J4hW hc>*B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW h 6B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW h 5B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW hCB*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW hcB*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW h B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW hwsB*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH  P ~45NOrtl$d7$8$H$a$gdq$d7$8$H$a$gdws$ & Fd7$8$H$a$gdws$d7$8$H$a$gd $a$gdq$ & F d7$8$H$a$gd $d7$8$H$a$gd '@3AJXlʱ}}}jWjJ=JhW hCOJQJ^JhW hOJQJ^J$hW h~OJPJQJ^JnH tH $hW hcOJPJQJ^JnH tH 1hW hB*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW h 5B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW h B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW hc>*B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 4hW h >*B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH ls } 12345O^dj{ÿïˌwaL7L7(hW h~CJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW hwsCJOJPJQJaJnH tH +hW hws5CJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW hcCJOJPJQJaJnH tH hW hC6OJQJ^J(jhW h@0J6OJQJU^JhW h0J6OJQJ^Jh@jh@UhW h6OJQJ^JhW hOJQJ^JhW hCOJQJ^JhW hOJQJ^J{pt09jkmܼܭ}gQ<(hW h CJOJPJQJaJnH tH +hW hws5CJOJPJQJaJnH tH +hW hws6CJOJPJQJaJnH tH hW hq6CJOJQJaJhW h6CJOJQJaJhW hC6CJOJQJaJhW hCJOJQJaJ hW hCCJOJQJ^JaJhW hqCJOJQJaJhW hCCJOJQJaJ(hW hwsCJOJPJQJaJnH tH lmbc$ (pp]^p`a$gdC  (pp]^p`gd $d7$8$H$a$gd $d7$8$H$a$gdws$ & Fd7$8$H$a$gdws$d7$8$H$a$gdws,5;2{hX="4hW hws5B*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 4hW hC5B*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH hws5B*PJmH phsH $h~hws5B*PJmH phsH 'hW h 56B*OJPJQJph1hW hwsB*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH 1hW h B*CJOJPJQJaJnH phtH (hW h CJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW hqCJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW hCJOJPJQJaJnH tH  ~$hd^ha$gd~$d^a$gdq $da$gdq  & Fdgd~ (pp]^p`gdC  (pp]^p`gdws$ (pp]^p`a$gdC ̱y]A(1hW hC B*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 7hW hFB56B*CJ OJPJQJaJ mH phsH 7hW hC 56B*CJ OJPJQJaJ mH phsH 7hW hv56B*CJ OJPJQJaJ mH phsH 7hW h 56B*CJ OJPJQJaJ mH phsH 4hW hws5B*CJ OJPJQJaJ mH phsH 1hW hwsB*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 4hW hra5B*CJOJPJQJaJmH phsH 8xxxhVD"hW hws5CJOJQJaJh"hW hc5CJOJQJaJhhW hcCJOJQJaJhhW hb`CJOJQJaJhhW h#tCJOJQJaJh'hW hqCJOJQJaJhmH sH 'hW hb`CJOJQJaJhmH sH 'hW h#tCJOJQJaJhmH sH *hW hq5>*CJOJQJaJmH sH *hW h#t5>*CJOJQJaJmH sH i j z { !`!!z"##$ & Fdxa$gd?C$dx^a$gdq$ & Fdxa$gd~$d^a$gd?C$d^a$gdq$d^a$gd~$ & Fda$gd~(*EO\  g h i j 絜nYnYnYnDnD(hW hCJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW h?CCJOJPJQJaJnH tH (hW hFBCJOJPJQJaJnH tH 0hW hCJOJPJQJaJmH nH sH tH 0hW hFBCJOJPJQJaJmH nH sH tH 0hW h?CCJOJPJQJaJmH nH sH tH 0hW hb`CJOJPJQJaJmH nH sH tH 0hW hcCJOJPJQJaJmH nH sH tH j z { !!!!J!O!\!]!_!`!!!!!!!"
