volume 8 foreign aided project management manual contents

FOREWORD
RHD MANAGEMENT PLAN
The RHD Management Plan has been developed as part of the commitment, as stated in the National
Land Transport Policy, to ensure the effective planning, management and maintenance of the National
Road Network.
The Management Plan has been prepared by RHD officers working through the Management
Committees and MPITs, assisted by consultants from IDC3, SRNDP and RRMP3. The Plan covers all
aspects of the Department operations and extends to all support services including human resources,
financial, administration, information technology and health and safety. Care has been taken to build on
existing systems and procedures.
The Management Plan is applied through the documented strategy papers, operational plans, job
descriptions and procedures contained in eight volumes as follows:
Volume 1 - RHD Management Manual
Volume 2 - Management Services Wing Management Manual
Volume 3 - Planning and Maintenance Wing Management Manual
Volume 4 - Technical Services Wing Management Manual
Volume 5 - Bridge Management Wing Management Manual
Volume 6 - Mechanical Zone Management Manual
Volume 7 - Zonal Operations Management Manual
Volume 8 - Foreign Aided Project Management Manual
Volume 1 contains the core documentation including the RHD strategy, general job descriptions,
general procedures and a schedule of relevant GoB rules and regulations.
In Volumes 2 to 7, operational plans define the objectives, outputs and activities of each Wing and
Circle and establish the necessary operational budgets and resource requirements. Operational
procedures and specific job descriptions provide a systematic record of current practice and a
framework for the further development of the management of the whole Department.
This Volume 8 defines the management plan and specific job descriptions for foreign aided projects.
The RHD Management Plan is intended to be a live document, and will be maintained on the RHD
Intranet. The implementation and future improvements of the documents will be conducted through
MPITs under the overall directions of the ACE of Management Services Wing.
I wish to thank and commend all of the officers of RHD who have devoted their time and energy to the
preparation of this important document. I also extend my appreciation to the development partners who
have actively supported this work particularly DFID, ADB and WB.
