Nanjing Qinhuai River Environmental Improvement Project

Implementation Arrangements. The project management office serves a critical coordinating function in executing projects that involve several implementing agencies. The NPMO's (Nanjing project management office's) strong leadership and good communication skills proved to be crucial for the efficient implementation of the project. In addition, the establishment of databases and monitoring mechanisms by each implementing agency during the early stages of the project was very useful. Assurance of a good partnership among implementing and oversight agencies is essential.
