Constructions Overview
Narrative Description of Project:
The Eastern Indonesia Region (EIR) encompasses most of Indonesia except for the large islands of Sumatra and Java, and comprises some 160 Kabupaten (rural local governments, some very recently formed) and 26 Kota (municipalities) in 16 Provinces. Much of the region’s population is poor and is provided with limited infrastructure, although some parts are richly endowed with natural resources and have high Gross Regional Domestic Products.
The Ongoing first Eastern Indonesia Region Transport project (EIRTP-1) is designed to help promote economic growth and reform and to support regional autonomy through improving access and reducing transport costs, and through strengthening the institutions responsible for transport asset management. The major part of the loan is allocated for rehabilitation and betterment works on arterial and other strategic links in primary road networks that are the responsibility of central government.
The Second Eastern Indonesia Region Transport project (EIRTP-2) is designed to support the same overall development objectives as its predecessor, but will finance primarily rehabilitation and betterment works on the lower level components of the primary road network that are the responsibility of regional governments (Provinces and Kabupaten). The project will also provide for a number of major projects on National roads that were identified and prepared under EIRTP-1, as well as providing support the rehabilitation and betterment works on urban National roads in selected cities.
Description of Actual Services Provided in the Assignment:
The Regional Design and Supervision Consultants (RDSCs) will play a major role in supporting EIRTP-2 project management and implementation. A significant focus of the project will be an increased emphasis on achieving acceptable standards of construction quality for all civil works and a strengthened stance against corruption. The RDCSs will be in the “front line” of the attack on these major problems, and will have increased authority and responsibility, commensurate with strengthened role.
