The project consisted of several components implemented or administered by various agencies. Xi'an Municipal Urban and Rural Construction Commission (XMURCC), Xi'an Third Ring Road Construction and Development Company (XTRRCDC), and the government offices concerned made enormous efforts in coordinating and harmonizing project implementation activities, particularly in obtaining necessary government clearances during procurement and operation. A streamlined institutional arrangement will ensure a solid foundation for smooth project implementation. Further, complicated domestic processing requirements related to equipment procurement it took a long time to obtain domestic clearances from the agencies involved before submission to ADB for review and approval caused delays. The government needs to simplify cumbersome domestic procedures to speed up project implementation.
