Project Number: 32223-013
Project Name: Road Network Improvement and Maintenance Project
Report Date:
Lesson
The project experienced substantial implementation delays of about 54 months. Protracted recruitment of detailed design and construction supervision consultants, delayed procurement of the major civil works contracts, delayed land acquisition and resettlement, and most importantly, underperformance by a major civil works contractor compounded the delays. Delays in procurement of the civil works contracts were mostly due to government delays in procedures and decision making related to procurement, land acquisition, and resettlement.
