Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe received a grant from the World Bank for the Project “Central African Backbone – CAB 2”, and intends to apply part of the amount for the service of consultants. The Central African Backbone Program (CAB) is a World Bank Group regional instrument aimed at catalyzing private sector investment to improve connectivity in Central Africa. The cable has physically arrived in STP on November 15, 2011 and is expected to go into operation in late 2012. The current ACE cable does not include a landing station in the Príncipe island, as this would have required a very significant investment.  The two islands are connected by a 34 Mbps microwave link owned by CST. An options study to inform future investment decisions is needed to determine the best solution for Príncipe so as to obtain an appropriate, good quality and accessible solution.

The service is estimated to achieve 20 man / day during the month of March 2012 and is to support the Government to develop an options study on the connectivity solutions for the Príncipe island and namely (i) identify, analyze and evaluate the technical options available for Principe  to upgrade its international connection, (ii) provide support on the most appropriate management and structuring options for such investments, so as to achieve open and  affordable connectivity at the most accessible rates, and (iii) to perform a quick financial analysis of the various options available and to analyze the different sources of funding (current and future operators, public funding, other investors.
