of the three schemes. Unfortunately, due to limited resources in the RDMU, the tenderdocument for this service contract could not be finalised in the reporting period.In the context of implementing the SCGA Grant Contract, the RDMU undertook a technicalaudit on all 43 individual smallholder cane growers. Some of their farms might berehabilitated through funds from the SCGA grant. In parallel, some other studies wereconducted and finalised: Assessment of primary seed cane, finalisation of the ratoon bulkinput procurement system and the outgrower energy generation study.The RDMU assisted the EU in the process of drawing up the final document of the MIP 2011-2013. The EU informed the NAS stakeholders in December that the final allocation forMIP2011-2013 will be € 54.267 million.Under “Result 2b: Implementation and financing of other NAS activities facilitated”, theRDMU continued to work on the Project Development Document (PDD) for the Ubombo fuelswitch and energy efficiency project. The PDD was finalised and submitted for validation.The RDMU continued to develop more PR material such as an RDMU newsletter and a radiospot and press coverage around the signing of the AAP 2009 Financing Agreement.Under Result 2c: A monitoring and evaluation system for the NAS established”, the RDMUrevised the NAS logframe and developed a Monitoring and Evaluation framework for theNAS. The M&E framework will be updated once a year in close cooperation with thestakeholders.Under Result 3: “Government and donor liaison facilitated”, no major activities can bereported. Being integrated into the ACMS of MEPD, the GFA TA team will assist in thedevelopment of an overall resource mobilisation strategy.Under “Result 4: Stakeholder liaison established and in operation”, the RDMU is continuingits coordination and liaison role with the stakeholders on a frequent basis. Numerous NASSC and NAS WG were organised in which important issues (MIP 2011-2013 and AAP 2010and AAP 2011) were thoroughly discussed.Capacity building activities were organised for the stakeholders on EU procedures andregulations (5-day seminar) and for irrigation technicians from SWADE, MoA and RDMU a 4-week training on irrigation designs was run. Two formal training sessions were organised forstakeholders including the MEPD, the NAS WG and the NAS SC. A highlight was conductinga study tour to Zambia where 15 stakeholders were capacitated in the area of Fairtrade.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 2

He was quicklyreplaced in September 2010. The RDMU Finance Manager gotseriously sick in October and has not been replaced in thereporting period. Request for a replacement were submitted tothe EU mid December 2010 and beginning of January 2011.Due to the sickness of the Finance Manager, the RDMU teamhas been staffed only with the team leader and the agriculturalistfrom mid October onwards. It is expected the new FinanceManager will not start working before mid March 2011.With the signing of the addendum for the extension, the EUrecommended to revise the existing logframe (logframe versionNo. 4) of the RDMU in such a way that it is more in line with thefirst (original) version. This means that the whole reportingstructure (Progress Reports, M&E of the GFA service contract)need to be changed.From January 2011 onwards, the GFA TA team will be embeddedin the Aid Coordination and Management Section (ACMS) of theMEPD housed in the Annex of the MEPD.

Fiches, the RDMU undertook for all proposed road projects anEcofin study. All projects are financially and economically viable(for details see last progress report).Financial analysis on selected smallholder cane growershareholding companies 2 : The cash flow calculations of thebusiness plans for the smallholder shareholding companies whichwere submitted for EU funding are generally not tailored inaccordance with each shareholding company. They do notinclude tender cost, no actual O&M, no replacement and do notoffer an option for Fairtrade and cane trash sales. Therefore, theRDMU developed improved cash flows and financial andeconomic analysis to make an assessment of the variouscompanies‟ viability. In a nutshell, small shareholding companiesare financially not viable whereas larger ones are. However,Fairtrade revenues and cane trash sales can make allshareholding companies financially viable and sustainable.Energy / Carbon Outgrower Study: This study assesses theviability of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant based onsugar cane trash jointly owned and operated by farmerassociations, millers and a private utility. The main idea behindthis proposal is to reduce electricity cost of smallholder canegrowers and to increase their income by selling electricityproduced on the basis of sugar cane trash. The concept isfinancially and economically viable, however, it needs the stronginvolvement of the millers who have decided to go their own way.Technical Audit of 43 individual smallholder cane growers: all 43individual smallholder cane growers‟ irrigation schemes werereviewed and cost estimates for rehabilitation derived. Theintention is that within the SCGA grant, some of these farmers willbe rehabilitated.Establishment of the Ratoon Management Input Procurementsystem: A simple concept was developed to assist smallholdercane growers in benefiting from reduced prices through bulkpurchases of farm inputs as well as from pre-finance by themillers and then deducted from the proceeds in agreement withthe financial institutions which lent significant amounts to thesmallholder cane growers. This assignment was the sugarindustry‟s response in respect of the (in their opinion) too complexratoon management fund. 3Mananga education Trust Business Plan: the financial viability ofthe Mananga College was assessed assuming several scenarios2 The expressions “farmer associations” and „smallholder shareholding companies” do have the same meaningin Swaziland. We usually use the expression farmer associations, however, in the correct legal, technical andinstitutional context, they are shareholding companies. The previous progress reports devoted attention on anassessment of the model.3 In fact, the concept of the RMF was not complicated and a similar concept has been successfully implementedin the Akwandze Finance scheme in Mpumalanga. However, the sugar industry in Swaziland consists ofvarious interest groups, particularly smallholder and medium-large scale growers. The RMF would havemainly benefitted small growers.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 15

Comments and questionsraised by the Quality Support Group (QSG) were incorporated.The AAP 2011 will accomplish the following results:1. NAS coordination is improved and implementation of EUfunds under the AMSP is accelerated. The main activity willbe providing technical assistance (TA) to MEPD - thecontracting authority – and key sugar institutions.2. Transport infrastructure is improved leading to a reduction inthe cost of hauling sugar cane to the mills. Activities willsupport the finalisation of the four infrastructure projects thatwere designed under MIP 2007-2010.3. The productivity and efficiency of small and medium scalesugarcane growers is improved. Activities will increase thehectarage of cane under irrigation by small and mediumgrowers but also increase yields of existing growers. Inaddition, they will encourage a more efficient use of water,better harvest logistics and bulk input purchasing. Activitieswill include; i) preparing land and installing irrigation systemson an additional 2,000 hectares for new entrants; ii)establishing, managing and replanting sugar cane crop; iii)constructing and rehabilitating bulk irrigation structures; iv)improving logistics in the sector and; v) capacity building infarming techniques, business management and cross cuttingissues.4. The provision of social services in the sugar belt is improved.The project will support limited direct activities which willfocus on rehabilitating school facilities in the sugar belt.However it will also encourage innovative solutions for localdevelopment benefiting the wider community. For example,growers who receive EU grant funding could contribute partof their annual revenues into a community fund, which wouldthen be used to help the community achieve the MDGs.Result 1 will be implemented by service contracts; result 2 byworks contracts and service contracts for works supervision;while results 3 and 4 will be implemented under the EU SwaziSugar Facility (SFF), which will award grant contracts following aCall for Proposals.No problems encountered.The AAP 2011 includes a budget of € 20 million for the SwazilandSugar Facility (grant). The NAS stakeholders in Swaziland are notvery familiar with proposal writing and also not with themanagement of grant contracts. Significant training in both needsto be rendered by EU/MEPD supported by the NAS TA team(former RDMU).RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 18

Moreover, the RDMU spent considerable timeguiding, supervising and monitoring NOD. Over and above all,considerable time was devoted to reviewing timesheets, invoicesand auditor‟s reports.In parallel, the RDMU has started coordinating the process ofland acquisition for the North (identification, assessment ofcompensation and negotiation with the affected parties).Considerable discussion was devoted to the price revisionformula and it took 3 months to agree on the key parameters ofthe formula. The tender document has not been finalised yet andit is expected that the final EU approval of the tender documentwill be completed in April/May 2011.Continuation of the land acquisition process aiming to finalise theprocess by mid May 2011The intention is that the two infrastructure tenders (North andSouth contract 1) will be launched in two lots at the same time.Therefore, the tenders need to be launched latest July 2011 giventhe tight deadline with the expiry of the FA 2008. Therefore, allactivities centred around the land acquisition process need to befinalised and agreed in written form with the affected parties inMay or early June 2011.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 19

Support in the development of business plansfor the EU Round 4 Tender. As in the previous reporting periods,the RDMU was heavily involved in the checking and correction ofinterim payment certificates for the two contractors for the EURound1 tender. The RDMU assisted in the evaluation of the EURound 2 and 3 tenders. EU Tender 2 irrigation works waslaunched in January 2010 whereas EU tender 3 irrigation workswas launched in July 2010.EU Tender 1: all irrigation schemes at LUSIP (IRRICON) werecompleted and commissioned in August 2010 (398 ha) and thesugar cane planting process was finalised by the end of October2010. The final invoice has been tabled for the EU and MEPD toreview. Irricon might face a penalty due to late provisionalacceptance of some of the schemes.Ingcayizivele (SII) faced several problems partly with nonavailability of seed cane in conjunction with technical problems inthe irrigation installation. Planting started in November, howeverdid not finish. In parallel, the contractor is facing a penalty fordelays for which he is responsible.EU Tender 2 (861 ha): Contract was awarded at the end ofAugust to S&B and signed on the 22nd October 2010 for 861 ha.The first activities such as bush clearing will start end of January2011.EU Tender 3 (296 ha): The tender opening was on the 28thSeptember 2010, the contract will be awarded and signed withS&B before Christmas 2010 The RDMU assisted in theevaluation of the bids. It is expected that the first activities willstart in February 2011.As in the previous reporting period, the RDMU was heavilyinvolved in the checking and correction of interim paymentcertificates for the two contractors for the EU Round 1 tender.The RDMU undertook a state-of-the art financial analysis of someof the EU supported farmer associations of EU Round 1 and 2tailored for each specific situation catering for tender prices,actual electricity cost and ratoon replacement. The generalfindings indicated that smallholder cane cultivation is principallyfinancially not unviable. Sales of cane trash and participation inFairtrade sugar would significantly boost the viability of thesmallholder sugar cane growing and could lead towardssustainability of smallholder sugar cane growing organised inshareholding companies.The RDMU started to do more monitoring on the capacity buildingand training component of the SHIP contract. Training has beenconducted in several areas (see the SHIP progress report).However, the most promising training which has been rendered tothe farmer associations, particularly the agricultural (farm)managers of the FAs, is a training programme provided byRDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 20

This is on a 6 week basis where the basic andfundamental aspects of managing a sugar cane farm by trainingon the job has been provided. Since June 2010, about 25 farmmanagers from the farmer associations have been trained.Experience in sugar cane smallholder development in Swazilandhas shown that pursuing the current farm (SWADE) model, landconflicts in the shareholding companies have become verycommon. In our opinion, these land conflicts are mainly attributedto negligence in the mobilisation and demarcation process of theshareholding companies. A participatory land delineation anddemarcation where all irrigation blocks are demarcated in closecollaboration with the beneficiaries has never been undertaken.This, is however, essential for ensuring that right from thebeginning beneficiaries know the borders of their schemes. Thefrequency of the land conflicts might lead to the conclusion thatmany of the schemes are developed on the drawing board withminimal attention to the field situation.The development of sugar cane farms through EU assistance isexpensive and takes a long time as compared to the privatesector development. Ubombo, for instance, in 2010 developed500 ha of sugar cane within 4 months (1/3 of the time EUsupported associations require) with total development costamounting to less than 50,000 Emalangeni per ha which is lessthan 60 % of the land development cost of the EU supportedFAs 4 .SWADE which is principally responsible for the mobilisation anddemarcation of the schemes is very resistant towards acceptingadvisory services and capacity building. This need to beimproved.It has also now been realized that the monitoring system forsmallholder development needs significant improvement,particularly for the development of new entrants. The MEPDsupported by the NAS TAs will develop a monitoring andevaluation system to be discussed in the NAS WG.No urgent issues requiring attention.4 . 2 . 3 AAP 2 0 0 8 : T r a n s p o r t I n f r a s t r u c t u r eProgress achievedduring reporting period(01 Feb 2010-13 Dec 2010)The RDMU organised the preliminary design workshop and fieldtrip. The RDMU reviewed several reports submitted by Aureconand commented on them.The Tender Document on the upgrading of Siphofaneni-St.Phillips Road (Draft 2) was submitted in December 2010. Thisversion is currently under review.

Contract 2 comprises the rest of the St.Phillips road plus Siphofaneni Bridge and Mhlatuzane Bridge.The final report on the environmental and social impactassessment of the Siphofaneni- St. Phillips road was submitted inSeptember 2010. Comments from the Swaziland EnvironmentalAuthority are now due.The RDMU together with the major stakeholders has started theprocess of land acquisition by developing an indicative landacquisition plan and initiating major stakeholder consultation. It isexpected that by end of May 2011, the land acquisition andcompensation process will be agreed upon and finalised.The RDMU assisted Aurecon in the whole process of developingthe contract addendum for splitting the tender documents and toinclude the final design of the Mhlatuzane Bridge. The contractaddendum was signed in August 2010 and the total amount of thecontract is € 685,325 (as compared to € 570,803). The contractperiod was extended to 36 months.The current government budget does not allow compensation atthe moment. Therefore, it is proposed to agree with the affectedparties to postpone compensation for a later period.Finalisation of the land acquisition plan and launch of the workstender (contract 1).The preliminary design report on the proposed Mhlatuzane Bridgewill be submitted in January 2011. The RDMU will assist MEPDand MoPW&T to review the documents.Since the contract with the successful bidder for the workscontract (contract 1) needs to be signed prior to Christmas 2011,the tender must be launched latest mid July 2011. The tender,however, can only be launched if all affected parties and GoShave agreed on the compensation. This in turns makes itnecessary that the land acquisition process has to be finalisedlatest by the end of May 2011 which will be difficult to accomplish.This will be aggravated by the fact that GoS currently does nothave any means of making compensation payments due to thecurrent fiscal crisis.4 . 2 . 4 AAP 2 0 0 9 : S u p p o r t t o s m a l l h o l d e r c a n e g r o w e r s ,a g r i c u l t u r a l d i v e r s i f i c a t i o n a n d N A Sc o o r d i n a t i o nProgress achievedduring reporting period(01 Feb 2010-13 Dec 2010)SCGA GrantAssisted by an STE, the RDMU developed: the grant contractproposal for the SCGA; eligibility criteria; a manual onprocedures; and application documents for those who wish to getsupport from the SCGA grant.The RDMU long-term staff members finalised the analysis of thediversification survey and the report on the diversification surveyin December 2010.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 22

In several meetings between SCGA, EU, MEPD and RDMU, theproposal for the grant contract was amended and sent to EU F&CLesotho for review and approval. As of the end of the reportingperiod, the SCGA grant contract had not been signed.Bulk IrrigationRDMU drew up supporting documentation for the three proposedbulk irrigation schemes, including detailed financial and economicanalysis, which are earmarked for being funded by AAP 2009. Allproposed projects are financially and economically viable.The RDMU started elaborating the tender document for a servicetender for the final design and supervision of the bulk waterirrigation schemes. Unfortunately, due to limited resources, theRDMU could not finalise the tender document as anticipated (theEU template for design and supervision contracts also changed inNovember 2010 and the whole tender document had to bedeveloped anew).Carbon-related activitiesThe finalized PDD has been submitted for validation. Because ofUbombo specific project features, the PDD had to besupplemented by 2 “Requests for Deviation”. The validation hasstarted and the PDD has been published on the UNFCCCwebsite. The on-site validation could be in March / April 2011.NAS CoordinationThe day the RDMU service contract expired (13 th December2010), the new addendum with an additional contract value of €950,000 was signed between the EU and the consortiumGFA/ULG/Harewelle. The contract period was extended to 59months, until 13 December 2012. The RDMU team will be fullyintegrated into the MEPD/ACMS and will have a pure technicalassistance role for the implementation of the NAS.Bulk input procurement systemInteresting to note is that while the sugar industry was busycommenting on the above report prepared by Richard Bates,Ubombo established a memorandum of understanding betweenUbombo and Swazibank to implement the bulk input procurementsystem where Swazibank agreed that Ubombo is allowed todeduct the input cost from the farmers proceeds prior to thecession (loan repayment) to which Swazibank is entitled.FairtradeA pre-audit on a number of farmer associations was conducted byFlow-Cert at the beginning of December. The pre-audit wasfunded by Cadbury and transport was provided by the RDMU.The latter identified non conformities (governance model,prohibited materials, labour conditions, gender and HIV-tests) inthe current operations. With the exception of those individualmembers and associations which do not adhere to the FLOdefinition of small producers, none of the findings representinsurmountable barriers to achieve Fairtrade certification.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 23

Problems encounteredand possible solutionsRecommendations &activities for comingreporting periodIssues requiring urgentattentionTherefore, it was suggested that most of the non conformities canbe addressed prior to the audit within a relatively short time.SCGA GrantThe recruitment process for the SCGA grant project managerstarted in October 2010. Unfortunately, no appropriate candidatehad been found at the end of the reporting period. It is suggestedthat the vacancy advertisement be published in the major SouthAfrican newspapers.Smallholder Irrigation New EntrantsSeveral land conflicts, less availability of suitable land,inadequate capacity of SWADE in developing designs andbusiness plans and upcoming changes of the composition of theSHIP personnel contributed to significant delays. At the end of thereporting period, neither business plans nor any design has beendeveloped for EU Round 4.GRM International (consultant implementing the SHIP) wasrequested by the EU to replace the team leader. It is anticipatedthat towards the end of the second quarter of 2011, a replacementwill take over the job. Just before the end of the reportingperiod, the business management expert of SHIP resigned forhealth reasons. Despite this change of personnel, we do notexpect major bottlenecks with the tasks undertaken by SHIP.Detailed allocation of AAP 2009Several NAS WG and NAS SC were organised to agree on thefinal allocation of the AAP 2009 funds. There was a bias amongthe various members of the sugar industry in the allocationsbetween new entrants and existing growers.It is envisaged that the SCGA grant contract will be finalised andsigned in the first quarter of 2011. The recruitment process for thetwo positions (finance / procurement person and the projectmanager) needs to be finalised before the end of April 2011. TheSCGA grant contract contains a condition that the two positionsneed to be filled prior to the first disbursement.Developing business plans and designs for EU Tender 4 in Apriland May 2011 to make sure that, at least for the major activitiesduring works implementation, SHIP will be in a position to act assupervisor (the SHIP contract expires in May 2012).The service tender document for the design and supervision ofthe bulk irrigation infrastructure should be finalised in the firstquarter allowing us to launch the restricted tender in the secondquarter of 2011.See under recommendations.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 24

Details of the carbon-related activities1. The finalized PDD (Project Development Document) has been submitted for validation.Because of Ubombo specific project features, the PDD had to be supplemented by 2“Requests for Deviation”. A “Request for Deviation” is a CDM-specific procedure thatseeks the approval by the CDM Executive Board to deviate from the CDM baseline andthe monitoring methodology applied in the PDD.2. One Request for Deviation is to ask for the approval of a different definition of the term“historic”. Usually historic describes the most recent three years before the project starts.For Ubombo this makes no sense since during the most recent three years they had atrial phase on cane trash and the baseline situation, i.e. the situation without introducingcane trash as a new source of renewable biomass, would be biased.3. One Request for Deviation is to ask for the approval of a parallel execution of demandsideand supply-side implementation of energy efficiency measures. This is usually notallowed by the CDM-methodologies due to impossible, parallel monitoring of bothmeasures.4. The validation is started by the DOE (Designated Operational Entity) (in our case TÜVSüd from Germany) by publishing the PDD for a 4-week-long Global StakeholderProcess (GSP). In this context the PDD has been published on the UNFCCC homepage:http://cdm.unfccc.int/Projects/Validation/index.html Search engine criteria “Title:” type in“Ubombo”.5. Simultaneously to the GSP, the PDD will be reviewed by the DOE and clarificationrequests, if any, will have to be answered by us.6. The on-site validation could be March/April.7. Once validated, the PDD and the validation report will be submitted to the national DNAs(Designated National Authority) of Swaziland and South Africa seeking national approvalin the form of a LoA (Letter of Approval). The DNAs were already informed by us aboutthe plans to ask for national approval.8. The annual average emission reduction has been calculated to be 113,883 tons of CO 2with an approximate equivalent of 1,140,000 Euro per annum.4 . 2 . 5 AAP 2 0 1 0 : T r a n s p o r t I n f r a s t r u c t u r eSee details under AAP 2006 (NOD), page 19 (Infrastructure North).RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 25

No progress on the economic diversification studyin Swaziland to be funded by the AfDB.Apart from AMSP funded projects, there are no other bankableprojects in the pipeline. It has to be noted that the AMSPcomprises activities amounting to approximately € 120 million.Given the limited resources of the RDMU in conjunction with lackof suitable EU procedures for the large number of proposedprojects, it is of utmost importance to develop projects which canbe relatively easily funded by the EU without endangering furtherreductions of the allocation for Swaziland.As highlighted in the previous reports, Swaziland does not belongto the poorest 50 countries, and therefore, support frominternational donors is very limited, particularly for grant funding. Inparallel, many donors have so called focal countries in which theywork. These are usually more needy countries with bettergovernance systems.RDMU Progress Report No. 6 - Third Annual Report (01 Feb – 13 Dec 2010) Page 27
