North-West Frontier Province Road Development Sector and Subregional Connectivity Project

Project Implementation in an Area with Security Challenges. The security conditions in the project area deteriorated during implementation. ADB needs to consider special arrangements for such projects. For example, direct contracting or lump-sum contracts may be considered for civil works contracts, rather than competitive bidding, in particular, international competitive bidding (ICB). Project management could be outsourced, as ADB missions were not able to visit sites.
