[Article: "Central Fund for Economic Cooperation: 632.5 Million French
Francs in Loans for the First Quari:er of 1982"]
[Zext] The Superviaory Council, the Committee on Loans to French Overseas
Territories, and the Comaaittee on Loans to Foreign Counrries, all under the
Central Fund for Economfc Cooperation [CCCE], during the montha of January,
February, and March 1982 approved loana totaling 632.5 million French francs,
~ broken down as follows (all l4ans are given in French franca):
Loans to Foreign Countries
Benin--Loan of 4.7 millio:t fr8~ics to cover partial financing of the trana-
formation into a hotel of installation~~ of tre village of the African-
Mauritian Cou~on Organization (OCAM) at Cotonou. It appearea that it would
� be sufficient to rebuild existing atructures to turn them into aii hotel.
Given the interest afforded by,the siti~ because of ita proximity to the beat
beach in Benin, the new establishment ahould have no difficulty i~ attract-
ing a large proportion of tha touriata visiting this country.
Cameroon--a) Loan to the Caaaeroon Development Corporation (CAMDEV) for 24 mil-
lion francs as part of an overall loan of 48 million francs cofinanced with
the BEI [European Investment Bsnk]. The purpose of this loan is to finance
the construction of a new palm oil pla~it at Idenau, with a treatment capacity
of 20 tons per hour, waich ahould make it possible to handle the growing pro-
duction of t;ie plantations at Idenau and Debundsha, as well as the evet~tual
surplus from the palm oil plant at Mondoni.
b) Loan to the Cameroon DeveloFment Bank (BCD) for 42 million francs and a
loan to the National Investment Company (SNI) for 5 million franca. These
two loans cover partial financing of the expansion of activitiea of the Swisa
Farm Palm Oil Company (SPFS). With a production of 80,000 tona of palm oil
and hearte of palm, Cameroon is the fourth largest African producer, after
Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Zaire. Since 1968 the Central Fund f~r Economic
Cooperation has aupported the palm oil plan. The new loana are for the main-
tenance and development of the plantatione.

c) Loan to the Cameroon Shipping Lines {CA.*~ISHIP) for 100 million francs. This
loan is for partial financing of the purchase of two cargo ships. An invita-
tion to bid was issued in 1981 for the acquisition of two new semicontainer
ships, and CAMSHIP chose Chantiers de 1'Atlantique [Atlantic Shipbuilding Com-
pany], despite heavy German competition.
- Ivory Coast--a) Loan to the Ivory Coast Electric Power Company (EECI) for
8 million francs. This loan is to finance preliminary engineering studies for
the construction of the Soubre hydroelectric dam. Situated below Buyo on the
Sassandra River, 115 km north of San-Pedro, the Soubre site was chosen Ly
Electricite de France [French Electric Power Company], which has been charged
with the preliminary studies for the initial draft of the project. Tlnis dam
will have a total length of 8 km and a total height of 28.5 m, and a wa�er-
retaining capacity of 1.0 billion m3. ~t invoiv~ss a water-pumping atation
with a maximum capacity of 6,500 m3 per second.
b) Three loans to Ivorian development banks totaling 30 million francs of 10
million francs each: Credit de la Cote d'Ivoire [Ivory Coast Credit Bank--
CREDICODI], Compagnie Financiere de la Cote d'Ivoire [Ivory Coast Finance Com-
pany--COFINCI], and the Banque Ivoirienne de Developpement Industriel [Ivorian
Bank for Industrial Development~-BIDI]. The opening of. lines of credit in
favor of these Ivorian banks appears to be an appropriate formula for the fi-
nancing of small and medium-size companies. The Central Fund for Economic
Cooperation has authorized two loana to each of the three banka under the fol-
lowing conditions: a~ointly financed public asaistance loan of 7 million
francs in the first stage; and a jointly financed loan of 3 million francs in
the second stage.
Gabon--a) 7~ao loans to the Banque Gabonaise de Developpement [Gabonese Devel-
- opment Bank] for 2.2 million francs and for 2.24 million francs on a~ointly
financed basis. These two loans are for the refinancing of a loan to the
~ Societe Plasti4ue-industrie [Plastics Industry Company] (in order to extend
the capacity of the plant), which manufactuiQS: reinforced polyester glass
products for septic tanke, refining and filtering ir~stallations, cisterns and
' water towers; and for the construction of canoes and boats, cold injected
' polyester products, furniture, and polystyrene foam products for packing and
insulation.
~ b) ~ao loana to the Societe d'energie et d'eau du Gabon [Gabon Power and Water
Company--SEEG], one for 3.48 million francs and the other on a~ointly fi-
nanced basis of 8.12 million francs. These two loans are for the partial
, financir~g of a program for expanding facilities for the distrib~ovidedfbelec-
tricity in Libreville. Thia project will expRnd the capacity p Y
the electrical installatione in the capital and will make it possible to re-
duce the use of the thern?al power station, resulting in substanCial savinga
in production costs.
Guinea-Bissau--A loan to the Societe d'economie mixte d'armement et de peche
de Cacheu [Mixed Statp and Private Shipping and Fishing Company of Cacheu--
SEMAPESCA] for 2 million francs. The loan is to finance a SEMAPESCA expan-

saltwater lagoons. This promiaing new kind of activity will uae existing
insta~lations. The company will also process and sell fish landed by Sene-
_ galese ships from Dakar which are licensed to fish in Guinean waters. Repair
of company ships is also provided for, with a view to chartering them to a
French st.ipping company or aelling them.
Upper Volta--a) A loan to the Republic of Upper Volta for 70 million francs
for the modern{zation and expansion of the telecommunicatione aystem. With
6,400 telephones in service, or 1 line for every 1,000 inhabitants, the tele-
phone network of Upper Volta ie one of the smallest in the world. In order
to satisfy requests for extensiona of telephones already installed and those
over the next few years, the Poatal and Telecommunications Office (OPT) has
developed a program for the expansion of the Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso
networka, as well as for the conetructior. of new switching installations in
six provincial centers.
b) A loan on an exceptional basis of 50 million francs for improving the fi-
nancial situation of varioua public and semipublic bodies, supplementary fi-
nancing of investment pro~ects under construction, and financing of state
part~cipation in the capital expansion program of multinational companies.
c) A loan of 14 miLlion francs to finance a hydroelectric and agricultural
dam at Toussiana, on the Yannon River. The difficulties encountered by the
Societe sucriere de Haute-Volta [Upper Volta Sugar Company--SOSUHV] in its
efforts to provide satisfactory supplies of water in ita sugarcane fields
have lEd the Upper Voltan authoritiea to apply to the Central Fund for Eco-
nomic Cooperation to finance conatruction of this dam, which will regularize
the flow of water in the Yannon River.
d) 1~ao loana, one for 11 million francs and the other for 3 million franca,
for partial financing of the pro~ect for modernization of agriculture in West
Volta, using mediuarsize tractors. The first trial use of inedium-size trac-
tors in Upper Volta took place during the growing season of 1971-1978. Some
18 tractora and related implemente were put to work. The tractor used was a
simplified model developed by a French f irm (Bouyer).
Madagascar--a) A lean of 8.9 million francs to finance the reconstruction of
the irrigation network in the rice-growing area around Lake Alaotra.
b) A loan of 11.6 million francs to finance the reconstruction of the irriga-
, tion network in the rice-growing area around Atananarivo.
c) A loan of 9.55 million francs to finance the reconstruction of. the road
- between Moramanga and Ambatondrazaka. The transportation of agricultural sur-
plusea from the region around Lake Alaotra is poasible as far as Moramanga
over a road network 140 km in length and, from Moramanga, by the railroad be-
tween Antananarivo and Toamasina. The use of the road has become very diffi-
cult at present, uwing to the damage caused by the raine over the past few
months. This reconatruction effort will complement the redevelopment of the
rice-growing area around Lake Alaotra.

d) A loan to the Jiro sy Rano Malagasy Company (JIRAMA) for 2.3 million francs.
This loan is for the partial financing of the small-scale hydroelectric proj-
ect at Bezaha. The problem of the electrificatlon of small, isolated urban
centers has not yet been resolved in countries with a low population density,
like Madagascar. The small consumption of electricity in such countries doea
not justify connecting isolated areas to the distribstion network of the large
cities over what are frequently long distances. That explains why these iso-
lated urban centers are being provided with self-sufficient means of praduc-
tion of electricity, such as small-scale hydroelectric generating facilities.
Mali--A loan to the Banque nationale de developpement agricole [National Agri-
cultural Development Bank] of Mali for 8 million francs. This loan, whose
ultimate beneficiary is the Societe des Grands M~ulins du Mali [Mali Large
Mills Company], is for the partial financing of construction of a flour mill.
higer--a) A loan for 19.6 million francs. This loan, which is accompanied
by a loan from the World Bank and a grant from the FAC [the French Govern-
ment's Aid and Cooperation Fund], in a pro~ect with an overall value of 71.6
million francs, is for the financing of a forestry project in Niger. The
pro~ect involves the plantin~ and maintenance of 3,855 ha of forests for the
production of =irewood and related service activity, the protection and de-
velopment of 6,000 ha of natural forests, as well as activity involving forest
protection, soil restoration, and water conaervatian.
b) Ttao loans to the Banque de developpement de la F~publique du Niger [Devel-
opment Bank of the Republic of Niger] for 4 milliot. snd 2 million francs,
respectively. These two loans, whose ultimate beneficisry is the Societe na-
tionale des transports du Niger [Niger National Transportation Company],
take into account the importance of highway transportation in Niger. The
loans are for the partial refinancing of a vehicle maintenance center at
Parakou.
c) Loan of 60 million francs for financing the repaving of wornout rural roads
and tracks, a forestry pro~ect, and additional work on the Hotel Gaweye.
d) A loati to the Societe des mines de 1'Air (SOMAIR) [Air Region Mining Com-
pany] for 12.6 million francs. The loan is for the financing of the remainder
of the participation of SOMAIR in the cap~tal stock of SONICHAR [expansion
unknown]. SOMAIR has contributed the bulk of its assigned share out of its
own resources. However, given the uncertain financial prospects as they re-
flect the present state of the uranium nnarket, SOMAIR has asked the Central
Fund for Economic Cooperation to refinance the balance of its subscription.
Senegal--A loan of 4.7 million francs for the partial financing of a pro~ect
for the development of truck garden farming in the Gandiolais area in Senegal,
in order to improve the supply of agricultural input (seed, seedlinga, fer-
tilizer, and amall tools). Implementation of the pro~ect will bring together
the local trade of the Gandiolais region and the people of surrounding vil-
lages (120 wells, 50 vegetable canning atorea, and a warehouse for the cen-
tralization of sales).
