procurement
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS KEY CHALLENGES
Project Progress
• Project disbursement at 30% • 75 percent of the IBRD funds have now been committed
compared to about 50 percent in January 2014 – 4 years into the project
Challenges … BRT are complex projects involving many aspects i.e.
infrastructure, buses, BRT service operations, ITS, and requiring agility to deal with changes
Land acquisition and resettlement poses serious challenges in urban environment
Fragmented institutional arrangements and need for continuous stakeholder coordination at the city level i.e. municipal corporation(s), development authority, bus company
Frequent changes in key officials – issues of ownership and commitment
Assignment of dedicated resources / staff
Key Lessons … Success Factors A nodal organisation, SPV, mandated with project implementation and
operation, with committed funding and dedicated resources
Investment of time and resources in project preparation Complete DPR with all elements of the Project properly studied and designed
Robust designs with analysis of alternatives to minimise impacts & optimise benefits
Procurement packages identified and implementation schedule in place (including service
elements)
Land acquisition and resettlement – proper planning and consultation,
streamlined implementation with support of NGO’s, consultants
BRT Expert to support through design and implementation phase Early consultation and project communication Project champion
