Description | The TA will help MPWT in refining the business process to effectively implement the Road law and managing the national and provincial road asset through optimizing the organization structure and strengthening staff capacity of the General Department of Public Works (GDPW), the General Department of Administration (GDA) and the NAOCC Secretariat which are involved in managing the road asset and controlling vehicle overloading. | ||||
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | In Cambodia, road transport is the dominant mode of transport. The core development problem in road sub-sector is incomplete legal and regulatory framework, lack of sustainability due to inadequate funding and overloading, and lack of private sector participation. With the assistance of ADB, JICA, and World Bank, the Government promulgated the Law on Road, commenced a program to control overloading, and initiated outsourcing of road maintenance to private sector. This momentum needs to be maintained. The earlier achievements need to be catalyzed through strengthening the legal and regulatory framework and developing national strategies for controlling overloading and engaging private sector in road maintenance to achieve the goal of delivering better road services to Cambodia, GMS and ASEAN road users. |
||||
Impact | The expected TA impact will be transport infrastructure contributing to the enhancement of national competitiveness and people's welfare developed. |

Implementation Progress | |
Description of Project Outputs | Institutional and regulatory frameworks strengthened. TA will help MPWT (i) draft required procedures, regulations, and guidelines for implementing the Road Law; (ii) prepare time bound action plan for approving such procedures, regulation and guidelines; (iii) determine road sector financing needs up to 2025 and preparing a policy note on road sector financing options for future direction; (iv) optimize organizational structure of GDPW, GDA and NAOCC, and (v) update the human resource development plan including strengthening institutional capacity for gender mainstreaming both through the Gender Mainstreaming Action Group and divisions. Strategic framework for engaging private sector in road maintenance established. The TA will help MPWT in (i) developing a strategy for engaging private sector in road maintenance that give overall direction to MPWT to further outsource road maintenance works in systematic way, (ii) preparing a roadmap for implementing the strategy with clear indicators and targets to monitor the change and performance, (iii) refining the business process of GDPW and GDA in managing outsourcing force account works, and (iv) strengthening the standard bidding documents for road maintenance and the manual for maintenance supervision. Axle overload control operations strengthened in Cambodia. The TA will help MPWT in (i) developing a strategy to combat vehicle overloading that give direction to MPWT in introducing implementable and step-wise approaches and cost effective technologies to achieving reduced vehicles overloading, (ii) preparing a roadmap for implementing the strategy with clear indicators and targets to monitor the change and performance, (iii) refining the business process of NAOCC Secretariat, and (iv) preparing procedure for internal calibrating of weigh scales being used in weigh stations and mobile team. |
