| Summary: | This report is the output of the
finalize toolkit phase (phase three) for the project
sustainability toolkit for transport projects. The overall
objective, as defined in the terms of reference, is 'to
make development projects more sustainable by reducing the
risk of failure of projects attaining their long-term
development goals and enhance the prospects for their
sustained impact on development ensuring that there is local
commitment to longer-term buy-in'. The main deliverable
of the project is a project sustainability toolkit, of which
this report outlines the final version. This toolkit helps
to gauge the potential for the project to be sustainable
into the long-term and provide advice to help overcome
common barriers to the successful development and
implementation of projects. The guidance covers the expected
opportunities and constraints related to sustainability. The
toolkit is intended to reduce the risk of project failure in
terms of sustainable development and enable recipient
country clients to incorporate core sustainability
principles into transport projects at every stage of project
planning, design and delivery. This will improve the
prospects for longer-term sustainability and will enhance
the long-term impacts of development projects. Task Team
Leaders (TTL's) will benefit from additional evidence
that supports investments intended to consolidate long-term
development, and borrowers will benefit from projects with
improved and demonstrable longer-term beneficial impact. The
toolkit provides general advice for transport sector
investments and is not modally specific. Information on the
sub-components of the key sustainability principles has not
been included since it was considered that this did not add
value or further understanding of the issues. |
