Volume 8 – Foreign Aided Project Management Manual<br />
Section 5 – Guidelines for Preparation of Foreign Aided Projects<br />
Each FAP shall record the physical location of its works on the Central Monitoring System<br />
(CMS). All proposed FAP <strong>project</strong> works should be inputted into the CMS and updated each<br />
year. With the addition of all FAP information, GoB <strong>project</strong>s, and the RHD Annual Road and<br />
Bridge Maintenance Plans and Programmes, the CMS will store an overall ADP Physical<br />
Development Plan for RHD works.<br />
With all current (ADP and PMP) works inputted into the RHD Central Monitoring System it<br />
should be possible to produce maps showing the exact location of all RHD works in each zone.<br />
Each new FAP should review the location of all planned works to identify any potential <strong>project</strong><br />
interface or overlap points. This should help improve planning coordination (e.g. ensure<br />
rehabilitation, reconstruction or widening works do not directly follow major periodic<br />
maintenance works such as overlay).<br />
With time, the RHD Central Monitoring System will show the history of different maintenance<br />
and development works on different RHD roads. The FAP should consider using this<br />
construction history to assess whether the proposed works are sufficient, appropriate and timely<br />
to maintain road condition on certain routes in the long-term (e.g. repeated re-surfacing failure<br />
on one route may highlight a need for complete road reconstruction).<br />
5.3.3 Project Appraisal<br />
The consultant shall prepare economic analysis, <strong>project</strong> feasibility studies and appraisal reports<br />
with inputs and approval by the Economics Circle. The overall appraisal of <strong>project</strong>s shall balance<br />
the economic, social development and environmental impacts of different <strong>project</strong>s, in<br />
accordance with Planning Commission guidelines contained in the DPP and the proposed<br />
Uniform Appraisal Framework (UAF). Consistent data shall be used to calculate the EIRR. This<br />
shall follow RHD Annual Road User Cost report data (updated as required) and shall be based<br />
on HDM-4 output from the RMMS. RHD economic working papers provide a basis for<br />
methodology for economic appraisal, to ensure consistency of approach between different<br />
<strong>project</strong>s.<br />
The same approach for DPP processing applies for both FAP and GoB <strong>project</strong>s.<br />
The Planning and Programming Circle and Economics Circle shall perform a check to ensure<br />
that <strong>project</strong> planning for GoB and <strong>foreign</strong> <strong>aided</strong> <strong>project</strong>s is coordinated. The location of each<br />
FAP shall be checked against all other <strong>project</strong>s in the ADP, PMP and maintenance plans to<br />
identify any overlaps or places where road or bridge <strong>project</strong>s are planned but where works have<br />
been recently completed.<br />
