South Africa - Development of the Bokamoso Ba Rona agri-industrial park

The proposed Technical Assistance operation is to support the development of the Bokamoso Ba Rona Agri-Industrial Park Project (BBR) located in Merafong City Local Municipality of the West Rand District of Gauteng Province. This is a grant not exceeding Five Hundred Thousand Units of Account (UA 500,000) to the Republic of South Africa from the resources of the Middle-Income Country Technical Assistance Fund. The BBR project is one of the prioritized Agri Parks to be supported by the Bank. This is a proposed large-scale, agri-industrial development undertaking that will support commercial, emerging and small-scale farmers, as well as the community through a network of integrated agricultural and energy developments on 30,000 ha land area. The purpose of the project is to engage a firm as a Transaction adviser (TA) to assist the Gauteng Infrastructure Finance Agency (GIFA) and the BBR Founding Partners in providing critical technical, financial, legal and marketing support for the establishment of the Bokamoso Ba Rona Agripark project in Gauteng Province. The Technical Assistance will be implemented over a period of two years between August 2020 and July 2022 following approval by the Bank.
