Despite the initial delays (of 12 months) in the Program implementation due to an eighteen-month leadership vacuum (due to sudden passing of then SAPP CC manager) and long start-up time typical in regional projects coupled with challenges of fully staffing the PAU, all three components have advanced considerably and satisfactorily. SAPP has established a functioning PAU with significant progress made to advance preparation of 4 priority regional projects. The SAPP Pool Plan was completed, endorsed by SAPP and member utilities, adopted by the SADC Ministerial Meeting, and successfully disseminated on November 2018. A regional social and environmental safeguards framework (ESMF) is developed, consulted, endorsed and disclosed. SAPP/EAPP Interconnection Study is successfully completed, forming the basis for developing and preparing the Zambia-Tanzania Interconnector.
