Book excerpt: The principal ratings for the Argentina National Highways Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project are as follows: the outcome was moderately satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was moderate, the Bank performance was satisfactory, and the borrower performance was moderately satisfactory. Some of the lessons learned from the project include the following: performance-based contracts for road maintenance, such as the CREMA contracts, are an efficient tool of maintenance management, and likely to be useful to other countries looking for ways to increase the effectiveness of their road maintenance management systems; A road maintenance strategy should include a menu of management options with maintenance carried out by the private sector, thus improving efficiency and reducing the extent of maintenance carried out by government personnel; and project components which are fully locally-financed are useful parts of a project as they provide a more complete perspective of the sector assisted by a project, yet they are difficult to monitor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing country governments and the development aid community are acutely aware of the need to find more effective ways to improve basic living conditions for the poor, as traditional approaches of delivering public support have not always led to the results intended. Results-based financing (RBF) instruments, which tie the disbursement of public funding to the achievement of pre-agreed results, are now recognized as one important piece of the aid delivery puzzle. The aim of these instruments is to enhance the effectiveness of public funding. 'Output-Based Aid: Lessons Learned and Best Practices' provides a practical understanding of the experience with output-based aid (OBA), a results-based instrument that is being used to deliver basic infrastructure and social services to the poor, including through public-private partnerships. OBA has been used in the World Bank Group since 2002, including more recently through the Global Partnership on Output-Based Aid, which has a mandate to design and test OBA approaches. The authors of this book analyze nearly 200 OBA projects in water and sanitation, energy, health, roads, telecommunications, and education. The piloting phase of OBA has in general been a success and OBA has demonstrated clear advantages over traditional approaches in terms of efficiently targeting subsidies and mobilizing the private sector to serve poor households that would otherwise go without an improved service. OBA has also demonstrated that monitoring for results is possible if appropriate systems are put in place. As the first comprehensive review of OBA in eight years, this book will be an essential reference for infrastructure and social services sector experts and OBA practitioners around the world including staff of international financial institutions, public and private service providers, and NGOs as well as for donors and governments who are interested in piloting or scaling up and mainstreaming OBA approaches. As the first comprehensive review of OBA in eight years, this book will be an essential reference for infrastructure and social services sector experts and OBA practitioners around the world, including staff of international financial institutions, public and private service providers, and NGOs; and for donors and governments who are interested in piloting or scaling-up and mainstreaming OBA approaches.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the Provincial Roads Project are to: a) develop and implement efficient provincial road programs (PRP) based on appropriate design and maintenance standard, with a view to improving the efficiency of resources use in the provinces' road sectors and the serviceability of the provincial road networks; b) reorganize DPVs' (Direccion Provincial de Vialidad / Provincial Road Department) operations, gradually transferring maintenance execution to private contractors or to local road consortia, strengthening DVPs' technical and management capabilities and establishing clear goals and accountability for implementing their road programs, including decentralized responsibilities for the national road network; and c) strengthen DPVs' environmental management capabilities. The project, of a sector type will consist of similar subprojects in participating provinces. Each subproject will include: a) a policy and institutional development component; b) a rehabilitation and maintenance component; c) an upgrading and new construction component; d) a studies component; and e) a project management component.
Download or read book Megaprojects and Risk written by Bent Flyvbjerg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megaprojects and Risk provides the first detailed examination of the phenomenon of megaprojects. It is a fascinating account of how the promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order to get projects approved and built. It shows, in unusual depth, how the formula for approval is an unhealthy cocktail of underestimated costs, overestimated revenues, undervalued environmental impacts and overvalued economic development effects. This results in projects that are extremely risky, but where the risk is concealed from MPs, taxpayers and investors. The authors not only explore the problems but also suggest practical solutions drawing on theory, experience and hard, scientific evidence from the several hundred projects in twenty nations and five continents that illustrate the book. Accessibly written, it will be the standard reference for students, scholars, planners, economists, auditors, politicians and interested citizens for many years to come.

Book excerpt: Road asset management is one of the top priorities of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020. The implementation of performance-based road maintenance contracts (PBCs)—an essential element of road asset management—promotes effective and efficient maintenance of road networks. Well-designed PBCs keep roads in predefined good condition at relatively low cost. This guide aims to help policy makers in CAREC member countries understand and implement PBCs. After a brief history of the development of PBCs, it discusses the various types of PBCs and their relative advantages and disadvantages. It highlights PBC implementation in selected developed, developing, and transitional countries, including CAREC member countries, to illustrate best practices.

In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.
