3A-WAPP APL 1 (CTB Phase 2) Project operates in Africa.
The objective of the Second Phase West Africa Power Pool Program (WAPP) - Coastal Transmission Backbone Project (APL 1) for Benin is to assure more stable and reliable exchange of electricity between the national power systems of the WAPP zone A coastal states. The changes include: (i) extend the closing date by two and half years, to enable the Borrower to complete the activities of the project, specifically the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Energy Management System (SCADA/EMS, component two), which has been delayed by over two years; (ii) change the disbursements category to include expenses related to works and (iii) revise the result framework. This restructuring will not affect project outcomes, the project development objectives or the environmental and social safeguards category. The project's scope and output will also remain unchanged.
