The general objective of this technical assistance was to support the CEMAC Commission in the coordination and monitoring of infrastructure projects financed through blending mechanisms under the Support Programme for the Governance of Regional and National Infrastructure in Central Africa (PAGIRN).
From a specific perspective, the technical assistance supported the specialized structures of the CEMAC and ECCAS Commissions in:

• The coordination and monitoring of infrastructure projects financed through blending mechanisms for the beneficiary states of PAGIRN in Central Africa;
• The search for financing for regional infrastructure projects using blending mechanisms and providing coaching on financial structuring for proposals deemed eligible by CEMAC/ECCAS Member States and Development Partners (including development financial institutions);
• Ensuring the ownership, by the specialized structures of the CEMAC and ECCAS Commissions, Member States, and the private sector, of the financing instrument through blending mechanisms.

The following results were to be achieved by the service provider:

• Financing proposals for priority infrastructure identified by Member States, with concrete interest from financial institutions, were prepared and negotiated;
• Staff from the two RECs were trained in the coordination and monitoring of infrastructure projects financed through blending mechanisms;
• Member States, as well as the private and financial sectors, were sensitized to the blending financing modality for infrastructure;
• The directory of regional infrastructure projects financed through blending mechanisms was consolidated to facilitate their monitoring;
• PAGIRN Steering Committee (COPIL) meetings were held (at least once a year);
• An operational coordination mechanism by the CEMAC Commission for regional infrastructure projects eligible for blending financing in Central Africa was established.
