This target was not only met, but exceeded following an additional con tribution of $5.6 million in t h e second half of 2012. Total contributions to date have passed $60 million. A number of the MDTF participating donors are in favor of and have recommended a 5 year extension of the MDTF to support a sm ooth transition to ASARECA' second MTOP (OPII) (2014-2018).

M acroeconomics, Trade and Investment A FR RI-Great Lakes Trade Facilitation - SOP2: The development objective is to enhance the capacity for commerce and im prove processes and conditions for cross-border trade at targeted border locations in the GLR T h e "Capacity for commerce in the context of this project is defined as the capacity of core trade infrastructure, such as border m arkets, border facilities, and ports, to handle an increased flow of goods, services, and people, and the capacity of government a g encies at the border t o provide high quality and efficient services. Service providers include those individuals who directly su pport the immediate cross-border trade value chains, including, among others, market vendors in border markets, trans- por ters, and government agents. The a ssumption is that improving the a dequacy of trade infrastructure, simplifying and im- pr oving border processing procedures (including standards for treatment), and enhancing the knowledge and capacity of trad- er s and border officials would lead to reduced trade costs (be they material and immaterial, the latter related to harassment a n d waste of time) that the target-groups have to bear each t ime they cross the border. Taken together, and in the absence of a ny other factors of influence that are not under the control of the project (such as conflict, disaster, major political and/or economic crisis), these project outcomes w ould help increase t he volume of g oods traded through t he r espective border post s/crossing points and improve the livelihoods of those involved in the cross-border v alue chains in the sub-region.

Nigeria Energy and Extractives Nigeria Electricity and Gas Improvement Project Additional Financing: Additional financing t o the Nigeria Electricity and g a s improvement project t o cover additional PRGs for Gas supply to government owned power plants, in particular the Sapele, O lo- r unsogo and Alaoji plants held by the NIGER DELTA POWER HOLDING COMPANY. The NDPHC is scheduled to commission power g eneration units in three of the NIPP plants at Sapele, Olorunsogo and Alaoji. The units to be commissioned will have a combined in itial g eneration capacity of 575 MW. The 3 plants will have a final generation capacity of 1,974 MW upon completion. These plants u rgently r equire executed Gas Sales Supply Agreements (GSAs) with prospective gas suppliers and IOCs who have emphasized the need for a payment guarantees t o enter into long t erm supply agreements for the fuel deliveries. In accordance with World Bank PRG g uidelines, t h e Federal Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria is required to nominate parties with whom the World Ba nk Gan enter into negotiations on PRGs. Therefore, I am writing to request that the World Bank extends the coverage of NEGIP to in clude NDPHC's NIPP plants and to nominate the NDPHC as a party with whom the World Bank can enter into formal negotiations on t he potential provision of PRGs for the individual projects.
