Sound technical and economic safeguard procedures are required to support NTP (National Transport Plan) implementation. All such procedures are essential for translation of the NTP into worthwhile and fully supported investments on the ground. Appropriate engagement and communication with stakeholders is essential to ensure these processes are fully understood as well as the reasons for particular technical decisions. A stronger country safeguards system, including guidelines on obtaining land for transport projects, is essential. ADB is assisting the government to strengthen its safeguards system in the transport sector, including developing guidelines on environment and land acquisition, and building capacity within MID (Ministry of Infrastructure Development), Ministry of Lands, Housing and Survey, and Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology.
