EIF, East Africa Activities
The Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF): The First World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, held in 1996. recognized that the Least Developed countries (LDCs) faced difficulties integrating into the global economy. This led to the adoption of the WTO Plan of Action for LDCs, The following year, in October 1997, the WTO convened a High Level Meeting to discuss the specific needs of LDCs and to formulate a programme to strengthen their trade capacities, including supply-side and market access capacities. The Integrated Framework for Trade Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries (the “IF”) was the outcome of that meeting. Support was offered to the IF by six multilateral agencies (IMF, ITCP UNCTAD, UNDP, World Bank, and WTO). The achievements of the IF during the early years were modest and when the six agencies met in 2000 to review progress they adopted a number of recommendations and implemented institutional changes to improve the IFs effectiveness. Two main objectives were formulated for the revamped IF: To “mainstream” (integrate) trade into the national development plans and; To assist in the coordinated delivery of trade-related technical assistance The IF is built on the principles of country ownership, partnership and the “Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness”. By the end of February 2007, 43 LDCs were at different stages of the IF process. Despite progress a number of weaknesses still remained in the IF: evaluations pointed out an implementation gap and a weak country ownership due to various factors. To that end a Task Force was established by the IF Steering Committee which was welcomed at the Hong Kong Conference, December 2005, WTO Ministers as well as an agreement on the three elements which together would constitute an enhanced IF (thereafter EIF): (i) increased, additional, predictable financial resources to implement Action Matrices; (i) strengthened in-country capacities to manage, implement and monitor the IF process; and (ii) enhanced IF governance. The Accountability Framework builds on the principles and procedures that guide the EIF to facilitate: The effective use of trade as a development tool by the LDCs. LDCs ownership of the in-country programme and projects to be funded by the EIF Including the responsibility to identify their own trade development priorities and manage trade development activities. A partnership approach, through which, in accordance with the principles, of the “Paris Declaration” donors and international agencies coordinate their response to the needs of LDCs, manage for results, LDC leadership and accept mutual accountability. Building upon these principles, the objectives EIF programme are to provide for: Increased capacity building support to LDCs throughout the EIF process, including increased financial resources, support provided to National Implementation Units (the “NIU”s), and technical assistance, training and knowledge transfer to be provided by national, regional and international implementing bodies in project delivery; Stronger governance of the IF, including collective decision making through a reconfigured Board, a strengthened Executive Secretariat, clearly defined accountability, and rigorous monitoring and evaluation. UNOPS acts as Trust Fund Manager for EIF.

Construction of Proposed Nyara Bridge in West Nile, Uganda
Uganda is currently the largest host country in Africa with estimated 1.3 million refugees. The trend of refugees settling in Uganda has been increasing since 2009. For example, in 2009, the population of refugees was approximately 200,000 people and has sharply increased to over 1.3 million leading in to 2018. These acute changes in population size are due to various socio-political instabilities such as the continuous and increasing cycles of armed conflicts in surrounding countries. Particularly, the latest conflict in South Sudan since July 2016 which has largely contributed to continued influx of refugees in the West Nile regions of Uganda.
Within the list of priority projects in the Roads and Small Scale Bridges (RB) sector at the request of UNHCR Uganda, the Nyara Bridge is among the four small scale bridges identified that require to be constructed urgently. The proposed bridge will connect Ofua Zone in Rhino Camp Refugee Settlement to Omugo Zone in the Rhino Camp Extension Settlement.
For the long term, the proposed Nyara Bridge offers a variety of solutions to both refugees and host communities. For example, through government policy, refugees are given land to grow vegetation to provide self-sustenance while simultaneously enabling them to trade grown crops for profit. These profit crops attract Ugandan traders to the refugee settlements; thus, refugees have the ability to operate as functional and direct actors in the supply chain. Due to situations like this, the bridge would act as a sustainable entry point for both refugees and host communities to produce robust livelihoods and create holistic paths of local integration. The bridge would also enable the promotion of peaceful coexistence and integration by connecting people, goods and services.
