Guyana: Transport Sector Study 1

1 Study Methodology

1.1 Work Plan

The study process will consist mainly of three main elements directed at: • data assessment and analysis,

• development of visions and targets; and

• formulation of measures and definition of steps for achievement.

These components correspond to the following three phases of the study: • phase 1 “assessment and information gathering”,

• phase 2 “definition of a sector strategy”; and

• phase 3 “implementation strategy”.

These phases will consecutively follow each other, thus enabling the Consultant to in regular intervals submit important interim results for discussion and approval by the Beneficiary. Consultation & dialogue will be sought through working meetings, workshops, distribu-tion/discussion of interim results and maintaining close working relationships with institu-tions and stakeholders. In all phases stakeholder workshops for different actors (e.g. trans-port operating sector, construction, institutions involved etc) will be held at national as well as regional levels. These workshops will also serve as venues for gathering of information, and will result in guidance for the orientation of subsequent study phases. Meetings and workshops will also be held to present the submitted study reports. The study process can be summarised as follows:



Figure 1-1: Work Approach

The analysis in Phase 1 will cover the task of compiling a reliable and detailed enough data base on the country’s transport sector. Even though it can be expected that much needed data will not be readily available, the analysis plays an important role not only in identifying pri-ority issues but also in the later evaluation of measures and options. The Consultant will fur-ther exercise the necessary diligence to develop the data base to the best possible level. Phase 2 “definition of sector strategy” will focus on the transformation of the general politi-cal objectives into transport sector specific goals and objectives and the scenario of interim steps leading to their accomplishment. The political guidance/approval will be crucial for the later acceptance of the entire study as will be its compatibility with the country’s socio-economic and geographic framework.

Phase 3 will be oriented towards implementation and necessary follow-up by defining pre-cise projects and programmes to step by step improve the transport sector in the intended ways. The task, that can be derived from this general approach have been grouped in task areas. Detailed descriptions of these task areas and individual tasks are provided in the next chap-ter. 1.2 Structure of Tasks and Workflow

The Consultant will perform all tasks and activities necessary to completely fulfil the objec-tives of the assignment. The “task areas” as understood and defined after careful consideration of the Terms of Ref-erence are summarised below. A diagrammatic representation of the workflow of the study is presented in the “Task Flow” on the following page of this sub-chapter.

1.3 Detailed Description of Tasks

1.3.1 Start-up

Task 0.1 Mobilisation/Inception

Following award of contract, briefing by the Task Manager in Brussels will be arranged as a telephone conference or a short meeting in Brussels, in which the Project Manager and the back-up team from GOPA HQ will participate. After the mobilisation phase the project office in Georgetown will be established by the Team Leader. The project office will consist of all facilities (computers and necessary software, printers, copiers, phones, fax, e-mail, other of-fice equipment) needed to efficiently carry out a study of this scope and due to the multidisci-plinary team it must have sufficient space to allow for several experts working at the same time (see also the chapter “study logistics). From the very beginning the Team Leader will liaise with the contracting and supervisory ministries to establish as quickly as possible working relationships. It is expected that in this early stage the Steering Committee will be appointed and will take over its role and be ready for discussion on the refinement of the working programme etc. within the first month of the assignment. Briefing of all international specialists and local team members is required in order for the Consultant team members to obtain a broad understanding of the project as a whole and the place of their specialisation within the project. Thereafter inputs of all specialists (national as well as international) will be carefully phased so as to permit the build-up of knowledge and understanding of the Guyana situation and development of the study outputs in a coherent manner with complete interconnection of the various tasks and issues. Proposals as to the approach to be applied (document review, interviews, questionnaire where necessary) and the work programme need to be agreed upon with all stakeholders. Alternatives and ways of carrying out the study will be formulated by the Team and then defined and fully discussed with the Guyana Authorities and the EC.

Task 0.2 Review of Documents and Data

All relevant reports, documents, maps and data as well as information from previous studies and evaluations will be reviewed by the Consultant in order to gain an overview of the Guy-ana transport sector but mainly to identify the most efficient starting point for his work, to avoid double efforts or to define possible gaps in the material that should be analysed in course of this study. It is expected that the documents are made available by the Guyanese authorities in an appropriate and timely manner. Part of this exercise will be the exchange with ongoing projects in the sector or other relevant sectors.



Task 0.3 Review of work plan

Based on the results of the review of available documents and data the Consultant can up-date and fine-tune his work plan which defines the way forward for achieving the necessary results and which will be subject to approval by the steering committee. 1.3.5 Phase 1: Assessment and Information Gathering

Task 1.1 Socio-economic Framework Conditions

The objective of this task is to obtain an overall assessment of the Guyanese economy and its socio-economic structure regarding actual socio-economic development status, policies, institutional set-up and reforms, privatisation, regulations, etc. including the expected future development in the short, medium and long term. The collected data and scenarios will be the basis for building up transport related scenarios in later phases of the study. The initial analysis of the overall framework will provide information as to: • geography, current land use • socio-economic characteristics (population, employment, economic indicators, etc.) • existing plans for regional/spatial development at national and regional level • state finance and monetary outlook • identification and assessment of existing plans for trans-national and regional devel-

opment and economic integration • PRSP • major actual and potential regional and international trade flows (including markets,

volumes, as well as general transportation and logistics requirements, etc.) • assessment of tourism potential and future expectations, tourism (master)plans • definition of economic and financial indicators to be used for prediction of future

transport demand and transport costs • role of international donors and support Information and data will be obtained and compiled based on existing documents, studies and statistical records. All data will be processed at an appropriate level of regional aggre-gation.



Task 1.2 Transport infrastructure

The task aims to assess constraints in passenger and/or freight traffic throughout the Guy-anese territory deriving from deficiencies in the transport infrastructure and related facili-ties/superstructure. All modes will be assessed: roads, maritime ports, (inland) waterways and ferry crossings as well as rail. The assessment will result in an inventory of what infra-structure elements exist. The infrastructure inventory will basically be a review and re-compilation of data in existing sector maps, development plans and available data in minis-tries and other relevant public or private organisations. It is assumed that infrastructure data, in general, are available without field inventories. Major transport infrastructure elements without existing up-to-date inventory data will be surveyed as far as possible within the given context, time frame and budget. The Consultant will also verify existing data through plausibility tests or sample-wise by in-situ observation. The assessment of infrastructure will encompass the descriptive key data, category indica-tors for transport capacity and category indicators for the physical condition of transport infrastructure. The latter is expected to be of major importance since maintenance standard of infrastructure is reportedly critical for some parts of the networks. The inventory of the current status in the infrastructure will be amended by all projects al-ready under construction or with a fixed starting date and defined financing for implementa-tion. The assessment will provide base-line input to the later identification of options for the Transport Sector Policy Strategy. The review will allow an assessment of networks, acces-sibility of regions, capacity and possibly existing constraints of present and planned facili-ties by mode. For existing constraints an assessment of underlying reasons will be given.

Task 1.3 Transport Demand

The objective of this task is to obtain an overall picture of transport demand on na-tional/regional level both for today and for the future (time horizon as for the entire study 10 to 12 years) and, where feasible, separately for passenger and freight traffic. The initial data collection will draw on as many sources as possible such as official statis-tics, historic and recent traffic counts or surveys, interviews with port and airport operators, service companies and freight forwarders, etc. and will try to build a data base: • on traffic loads per section/facility and • as far as possible, order of magnitude assessments on OD relations between regions Both together will allow an assessment of current transport demand overall and per mode (identification of the principal movements of goods and people, taking into account the po-tential for variation) and deliver a definition of a base situation for transport demand in Guyana.



It can be expected that due to the partially low demand relations/links in the country, par-tially because of lack of data only categorized data/indicators (e.g. low, middle, and high) on demand can be elaborated. Where survey data are not available estimates derived from sector relevant primary socio economic data might be used to surrogate demand data from surveys. The Consultant will aim at delivering a realistic picture of the current demand in as much detail as possible or needed for the purposes of this study. The analysis of today’s demand will form the basis for the prediction of future transport demand potential. The demand analysis will provide information on selected relations be-tween socio-economic parameters and observed transport in the present situation. These together with amending assessments to be made by the Consultant will allow development of scenarios and trends for future years e.g. 2010 and 2017. The scenarios take into consid-eration the elaborated socio-economic parameters and trends (see task 1.1) as well as the anticipated transport supply (see task 1.2 and 1.7). Scenarios for future development will consider: • national and regional economic growth • national and regional population growth • changes in rural and urban trends (distribution of population and economic activities) • development in agriculture, forestry, fishing, tourism and other sectors demanding

transport services • changes in industrial production and tourism requiring transport • regional and domestic trade • influence of improved infrastructure for transport between Guyana and neighbouring

countries • factors influencing inter-modal transport development • interdependency of demand and supply (quality, quantity).

Task 1.4 Policy, Regulatory and Legal Framework

The review of the policy and regulatory framework starts with a review of the past overall policy decision making process in relation to the different transport sub-sectors. The focus will be laid on the analysis of the existing regulatory framework for the sector in total and per sub-sector/mode. The analysis of the policy and regulatory framework will provide information as to: • existence/non existence of relevant policies and regulations, description of components

and effects • conformity of the current and proposed regulatory framework for the management of

the various transport modes with the transport sector policy objectives such as enhanc-ing cost- effectiveness in sector development and operations, country-wide develop-ment of transportation infrastructure and services etc.



• ability of the current regulatory framework to set policy objectives and define strate-gies

• impact of regulatory framework on fair competition and cost-effectiveness in transport operations and development

• missing intra-modal and inter-modal institutional links for a more cost effective inte-gration of the transport sector

• technical norms and standards for infrastructure facilities. The analysis of transport legislation in Guyana will focus on the main laws and issues of the sector. These will probably be the maritime and air transport laws, laws related to road transport, traffic and safety and possibly laws for public transport operations. The analysis will deliver an overview of existing legal framework defined through given laws and regula-tions. The CARICOM (Caribbean Community) Transport Policy and the framework it defines for the national policy of Guyana in the sector will also be an important subject of the analysis.

Task 1.5 Institutional Framework

The task will deliver an assessment of institutional issues under state responsibility in the transport sector, including the role of the government, impact from legislation and regula-tion, current asset management and operations, the financing of construction and mainte-nance, managerial and technical capacity, and -if applicable here- current private sector par-ticipation and capacity (see also task 1.7). This will include an assessment on the national level with respect to human, legal (norms) and supply resources vis-à-vis proper implemen-tation of transport projects and their operation in Guyana. The assessment will identify the capacities of institutions and evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the current institutional framework. Main aspects of the analysis will probably be : • description of administration units and structures in the sector (ministries and govern-

ment departments) • identification of areas of responsibilities and administrative processes • assessing job descriptions, staffing and qualifications • existing norms, standards and administrative procedures for infrastructure planning (

standard procedures for design and procurement) • demonstration of available resources/equipment • analysis of the status of state owned enterprises/operators in the sector • review the role of the private sector in today’s transport sector including the relevant

parts of the construction industry



Task 1.6 Regional Co-operation

The development of the transport sector has to be integrated in various ways into the re-gional context of economic cooperation, international agreements, support of transborder links and trade, technical harmonization in certain areas and completion of transport infra-structure projects with importance to international transport and trade. The analysis will therefore indicate possible areas of regional cooperation and trade and identify primarily related demand for transport infrastructure and services that this will gen-erate. At this point the task is closely related to task 1.2 and 1.3. The Consultant will elabo-rate on the specific trans-national aspects of possible projects and: • identify/describe possible infrastructure projects • assess potentials, effects and impacts for the entire project and for Guyana • compile envisaged implementation steps and time horizons • check necessities for regulatory and technical harmonization • assess sustainability of the respective project With respect to infrastructure projects, the commitments made or envisaged under the IRSA (Integration of Regional Infrastructure in South America) will be considered.

Task 1.7 Capacity Analysis of Transport Industry

The analysis of the infrastructure has to be followed by an assessment of the operators in the different modes (bus companies, truck companies or (regional) transport cooperation, ferry, ship, airline, rail operators) that are partly private and partly state-owned. In order to form a comprehensive and coherent strategy for the transport sector, the analysis of the users of the infrastructure is important additional information if the strategies to be prepared are to be realistic and meet the expectations of the operators and users. An analysis of technology used in the transport sector (such as e.g. hovercraft) will be in-cluded. Items to be covered are: • carrier structure and competition • means of transport used • market regulation and competition • company size and market organisation • transport agents • state involvement in transport industry • expectations of transport industry with regard to Government provision of infrastruc-

ture • operators’ willingness to pay for infrastructure (user charges, taxes, license fees, etc.)



Task 1.8 Environmental and Socio-cultural Issues

The environmental impact of the various transport modes plays an important role in the fu-ture development of the transport sector since the protection of the natural environment as well as of living conditions has to be integrated into regulations and standards for operation as well as in infrastructure project planning and implementation. This covers issues like land use policy on national level, protection of landscape and soil, water and air pollution as well as noise pollution. A specific area of risk is the environmental issue associated with Guy-ana’s unique natural heritage, especially the rainforest and related living conditions for the Amerindian part of the population. In-depth consultations are proposed to ensure that the environmental impact in these areas is also equally considered and possible negative im-pacts are identified early enough to develop counter measures. The work will identify environmental problems in the transport sector in general and per mode, it covers: • an assessment of the actual environmental policy and achievements, the role and work

of the EPA especially in the transport sector • an evaluation of procedures for project implementation and operation with respect to

environmental impact management, e.g. many access roads have already been opened in the interior of the country under mining and timber concessions, as well as the exist-ing privately managed roads such as that between Linden and Lethem.

• an outlook on applied measures for minimising negative impacts and related mitigation measures

• compilation of a listing of strengths and weaknesses to form a basis for an environ-mental management programme to be elaborated in phase 2

Needs for improvement/mitigation measures will be defined. A thorough check on Guyana legislation and regulatory framework, information of problem oriented publications as well as selected site investigations for the various transport modes will be necessary. Priority setting procedures for infrastructure measures will be reviewed, taking into account potential conflicts with environmental objectives. Technical standards will also be subject of the review, e.g. with a view to design infrastructure in a way that to its impact on natural drainage, land use patterns etc is minimised. Reference to European Commission manuals on environmental impact assessment (EIA) will be made in this context and the need for the de-velopment of environmental standards for transport infrastructure will be assessed. Similarly, possible existing socio-cultural issues and developments need to be identified and evaluated. The basis will be an analysis of current topics and issues in this field, especially with a view to possible conflicts, where projects in the transport sector interfere with (tradi-tional) life-styles or social objectives by causing re-settlement or new poverty.



Task 1.9 Identification of Key Issues

Phase 1 will be concluded by a synthesis of the above tasks and the results obtained will be translated into a comprehensive statement of the key issues to be addressed in the course of the study and in the sectoral policy and strategy. Phase 1 will also identify the specific issues to be studied in more detail in phase 2. These focussed studies will support the sectoral strategy and produce draft study ToR's for ap-proval by the project steering committee. At least four in-depth study subjects will be identi-fied for the next phase, based on the Consultant’s experience, the workshops or other means of identification. Besides priority infrastructure investments possible subjects of in depth studies may include for instance transport fiscal issues and revenues, national availability of transport services, particular institutional issues and problems, organisation of maintenance, combined transport (river-road), etc. 1.3.5 Phase 2: Definition of Sectoral Strategy

Task 2.1 Analysis of Priority Issues/In-depth Studies I

The Consultant’s approach to build on the results of the “assessment and information gath-ering” of the first phase will be twofold: at least four in-depth studies on the subjects de-cided upon at the end of phase 1 by the Steering Committee will be carried out and for the remaining issues out of the identified key issues further supplementary studies will be car-ried out. The deepened analysis and study will provide sufficient information for the formu-lation of a strategy, covering also human resources and capacity building requirements in the following tasks. The in-depth studies will be continued in phase 3 under task 3.2 “in-depth studies II”. In general, there will be subjects related to the sector in its entirety and issues related to single topics, e.g. per sub-sector/mode leading to a deepened assessment of sub-sectors and the entire sector and preparing successively components for the development of strategy options in the following task of this project phase. Results will be presented in form of issue papers and study papers to be discussed with the steering committee on road, road transport, sea port, inland waterway and urban transport. Depending on the findings of phase 1 the rail sub sector will also be addressed. These study papers - in line with the priorities agreed upon during phase 1 - will address subjects of: • investment strategies: existing and recommended investment strategies to ensure effec-

tive use of existing capacities to meet future demands (including BOT type arrange-ments/concessioning, availability of finance from the private sector)

• operating strategies: operating practices and management currently prevalent and practi-cal alternatives to have efficient use of resources



• maintenance strategies: existing procedures and improved maintenance planning and their impact on operations and financing

• technical issues and standards such as the adoption of standard procedures for design and procurement, axle load regulation and control, natural disaster resistance

• regulatory frameworks: regulations governing pricing, taxes, user fees, entry and capac-ity regulations, levels of service provisions, customs, trade documentation which provide the basis for efficient and financially sustainable operations nationally

• environmental, socio-cultural and safety issues • intermodal linkage between the transport sub-sectors to enhance the quality of service Typical issues, that have been found relevant in similar projects are included in the follow-ing table, which is to be regarded as a sample for a preliminary outlook:

Key Issues: Road Transport

Topic Issue Maintenance and Rehabilitation Continuing backlog of road maintenance

Shortage of funding for road maintenance Lack of maintenance monitoring

Operations Inefficiency of force account operations Inadequate enforcement of axle load limits Appropriate use of available labour resources Weak institutional organisation and management

International Traffic Inadequate access to landlocked and transit countries Physical and non-physical barriers to regional transport and trade

Rural Transport Services Poor condition of rural roads Poor operational efficiency and financial performance Lack of access to intermediate transport vehicles

Appropriate Technology Lack of appropriate design standards Appropriate use of local resources in road construction and maintenance

Road Safety High rate of road accidents



Key Issues: Air Transport

Topic Issue Aeronautical Policy Lack of coordination of aeronautical policy

Inappropriate aeronautical legislation “CARICOM open skies”

Human Resource Development Shortage or under-utilisation of training facilities and man-agement Lack of skilled management and technical manpower Over-staffing within airline-organisations

Regional Integration Lack of regional air transport cooperation Air Service Operations Lack of administrative organisation and management

Role of government in airline operations Safety

Aeronautical Infrastructure Inadequate infrastructure maintenance management Poor condition of aeronautical infrastructure and aircraft Lack of financing for maintenance and rehabilitation

Key Issues: Water Transport

Topic Issue Institutions Inappropriate institutional frameworks for maritime ad-

ministration Inadequate institutional support for multi-modal transport

Management Inefficient management of ports Lack of port security Lack of organisation and application of modern manage-ment practices by shippers

Human Resource Development Inadequate training and human resource management Hazardous working conditions on shore and at sea

Shipper Coordination Lack of shipper representation in port administration and management decision-making

Maintenance Inadequate shore-side and sea-side maintenance practices Shortage of skilled maintenance personnel

Regional Cooperation Lack of shipping policy coordination and cooperation Inland Waterway Lack of inland waterway facilities Multi-Modal Inappropriate regulation of multi-modal transport



The sub-sector assessments and the overall subjects will be clearly interrelated and interde-pendent. On the one hand, the transport sector subjects deal with the important general is-sues for the sector as a whole and provide the "framework" for the sub-sectors and on the other there will be a synthesis of the sub-sector assessments. Generic transport issue areas, which need to be addressed in accordance with their respec-tive importance in Guyana, include the following: • service supply and quality • land acquisition • operations and management • assets of infrastructure and equipment • maintenance • price, cost recovery and finance • investment planning • aspects of environmental protection and mitigation • safety issues • socio-cultural issues • interrelation between regulation and sectoral performance With regard to performance issues relating to strategies, the Consultant also will pay practi-cal attention to actions, which emphasise regional and national integration. These could include the following: • provision of dedicated transport services • pooling and rationalisation of maintenance • development of regional intermodal transfer facilities • rationalisation of trade documentation requirements • provision of incentives to the private sector activities • road maintenance and management reforms • standardise pricing policies and entry

Task 2.2 Development and Analyses of Options

Under this task the Consultant will start to elaborate components of the later policy and strategy which after a discussion and evaluation process (task 2.3) will be synthesised into a consistent overall transport sector policy and strategy (task 2.4). Under this task the Con-sultant will draft the outline of a sector policy and options per sub-sector, consistent with the country’s political and macro-economic environment, and address the economic and social demands for transport, both at the national and regional levels.



Based on the analysis results, results of discussions and workshops, policy statements of other sectors, etc. the task starts with the identification of a hierarchy of objectives and goals to be aimed at as well as their respective priorities. An objective of corresponding impor-tance in this hierarchy shall be e.g. the reduction of poverty, the creation of job opportuni-ties, the protection of important landscapes and biotopes or the improvement of regional integration. The options to be developed will be formed trying to follow the guideline de-fined through the hierarchy of goals and objectives. At this stage conflicting objectives and interests will materialize in different options with differing priorities. The development of options will be followed by an analysis of the economic, financial, in-stitutional, managerial, technical, environmental, socio-cultural, regulatory and operational feasibility and sustainability, resulting in an overall assessment of benefits to economic and social development and the results to be delivered to users and beneficiaries and finally to their confirmation or amendment. The sensitivity of solutions to fluctuations in international markets, trade and political stability will be taken into consideration by developing a range of scenarios. Wherever possible the development and analysis of options will also be based on an as-sessment of their economic effect. The assessment of the society’s benefit must be derived, as projects will certainly have repercussions on the entire transport system and conditions in the area. For this purpose the cost implications of the proposed policies and investment strategies have to be mapped. At this stage, however, the costs of investments can only be rough estimates, based on available national and international comparison data. The costing, however, should be accurate enough to provide sufficient input to an overall financing strat-egy for each type of investment and each mode of transport. Taxes, customs duties have to be deducted and subsidies have to be added. Possible positive or negative impacts on the other transport modes, either competing or complementary, will also be taken into account, where applicable and possible. Benefits may accrue from a variety of factors, among them: • VOC-savings • infrastructure maintenance cost savings • passenger time savings • accident cost and environmental savings • possible savings in physical extension costs for other transport modes, etc. • pollution reduction The streams of costs and benefits will be assessed over the project period and where sensi-ble economic and financial internal rates of return (IRR) (and other economic parameters) will be developed for priority ranking of projects. The results of the analysis of options will be fed into the evaluation process of the following task.



Task 2.3 Evaluation of Options

The evaluation aims to create transparency in the selection of preferred options to be in-cluded in the sector policy. It will be based on the above analysis of options and their re-spective spectrum of effects and at the end will deliver recommendations for the selection of options. Principally, the mode of evaluation and resulting priority setting will be multi-criteria based, taking into account the defined goals and attributed priorities as well as subjects of (i) rele-vance, (ii) feasibility, (iii) pre-conditions and (iv) sustainability as per the ToR and part II of the “Guidelines Towards Sustainable Infrastructure”1. The hierarchy of goals developed under task 2.2 will also be used as evaluation criteria. Experience in policy studies suggests that the following elements are also essential to such a framework for evaluation: • All factors reasonably thought to be relevant must be included. This includes travel

benefits, environmental effects (on buildings and open spaces and on the people using them), the consequences for planning and land use, and the effects on trade, property, enterprise development, productive activity, and the labour market. Expertise is re-quired to prevent double counting of costs and benefits and to account correctly for transfers as taxes, subsidies, tolls, and revenues.

• Where impacts can be quantified, they should be, but the quantification of impacts is not an end in itself. Where quantification is inappropriate, a verbal description is suffi-cient.

Task 2.4 Draft Transport Sector Policy

Under the Draft Transport Sector Policy task the conclusions of the above tasks will be brought together and compiled in a coherent and integrated policy study as a draft version. This will be presented in accordance with the format of Appendix I to the Terms of Refer-ence of the study. It will contain the definitions of the sector policies that are to be adopted by the Government to facilitate the implementation of the strategy. The Transport Sector Policy will thus consist of two main parts: • policies for each sub-sector, and • the overall transport sector policy

1 Concerned are mainly the phases of the project cycle “programming” and “identification”.



1.3.5 Phase 3: Formulation of an Implementation Strategy

Task 3.1 Overall Strategy Approach

The implementation of the policy and strategies requires an integrated strategy for imple-mentation in order to: • establish a balanced development of the distinctive modes of transport taking into con-

sideration the respective advantages/disadvantages • appropriately transform the different objectives of the stakeholders into transport re-

lated measures and projects • ensure the development of sub-sectors in accordance with demand for transport • ensure the optimal allocation of scarce funding to maintenance, rehabilitation and con-

struction of transport infrastructure

Task 3.2 In-depth Studies II

It is proposed to break down the in-depth studies in two stages, in-depth studies I (see task 2.1) and in-depth studies II. This would allow to investigate and prepare draft ToR’s, etc in a more detailed fashion once the proposed draft transport sector policy is approved as a ba-sis for the elaboration of the strategy. In the first stage the studies will therefore consist of analytical tasks in the identified fields to be carried out to the degree of detail needed to de-cide on the transport sector policy. In the second stage (in-depth studies II), they will be fur-ther elaborated e.g. to provide more detailed project recommendations at pre-feasibility level as well as detailed draft ToR’s for later studies.

Task 3.3 Organisational Implementation Plan

Based on the results of the assessment and analysis phase the Consultant will recommend the optimal structural framework for the implementation of the sector strategy. Cognisance will be taken of what human resource capacity presently exists within the Ministry of Public Works and other concerned government authorities. It is important that the designated exe-cuting agencies continue to build up a sustainable foundation of transport planning capacity both of management and transport planners. Towards this goal the Consultant will identify: • tentative job descriptions for recommended positions • appropriate salary structures that reflect current government practice, levels of respon-

sibility, relevant experience and qualifications • systemic proposals to develop learning opportunities within the executing agency, fo-

cussing as much as possible on targeted on-the-job training, action learning, short seminars and workshops

• a combination of meaningful stakeholder-oriented performance indicators, which will contribute towards implementing the institutional arrangements



Task 3.4 Capacity Building Strategy

Analysis of the jobs, detailed duties and tasks will be identified and will serve as the basis for the assessment of training and capacity building requirements to support policy imple-mentation. A questionnaire for needs assessment will be developed for distribution. The questionnaire will ask the relevant agencies to supply information related to their educa-tional and professional background, main work tasks, preferred area of work and their pre-sent and future training needs. To obtain management’s views on the present and future training needs, and to support implementation of the transport sector policy, interviews with key management staff will be conducted. Proposed interventions will be carefully structured to determine operational procedures and activities, impact of changing technology, lines of communications, roles, responsibilities, description of perceived performance deficiencies, performance standards and the manage-ment’s view of where training is needed, and which training issues should be addressed / have priority. The next step will then be to translate the previously identified training needs into measur-able learning objectives that can guide subsequent capacity building initiatives and monitor-ing of training results.

Task 3.5 Infrastructure Improvement Programme

It can be expected that an important part of the sector policy will be to modernise the trans-port infrastructure networks and that during the study phase various projects of importance will be identified/proposed. These sets of projects will combine rehabilitation of existing infrastructure as well as the implementation of new projects. An indicative investment pro-gramme must therefore be developed. The programming will be based on an assessment of the various projects with respect to costs, benefits, negative impacts, urgency and funding opportunities. It is assumed that at this stage project assessments can only be tentative and will need more detailed specific and feasibility studies at the implementation stage of the sector policy.

Task 3.6 Funding Strategy

The Consultant will undertake studies to ascertain a realistic budget for the design life of the transport sector policy. Possible funding sources will involve examination of fiscal transfers from national and local government, levies from transport operators/users and possible short-term support from donor organisations. Achieving the required amount of funding, especially from local sources, will require confidence in and commitment to the implemen-tation of the plan, thus – the expectations of the stakeholders must be satisfied.



Task 3.7 Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy

The success of the Transport Sector Policy will depend on the appropriate use of an effec-tive monitoring and evaluation system. Those who plan and lead its implementation will be required to evaluate existing capacities and to define measures to close possible gaps. In addition, programme managers will need to periodically monitor their activities and evalu-ate results to improve their efforts and those of their team. With this in mind, the Consultant will recommend a detailed monitoring and evaluation model based on verifiable perform-ance indicators. Integrating these two activities (monitoring and evaluation) will provide an opportunity to assure achievement of results. The system will be designed to assess the impacts of the project components on: • performance: achievements of the transport sector policy implementation in relation to

its objectives • capacity: the resources, knowledge and skills of the executing agency and responsible

authorities • operational environment: the external environment in which the executing agency car-

ries out its activities and the policy is implemented • strong elements of transparency and accountability in reporting of results of activities

to the stakeholders • audits The essence will be presented in the form of a logical framework including indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of strategy implementation.



1.3.5 Overall Tasks

Task 4.1 Consultation & Dialog

The study represents an iterative approach to the final end of submitting a transport sector policy and strategy. It is equally important that the needs and views of all transport stake-holders including users, the private sector and beneficiaries are adequately taken into ac-count in the assessment and selection of options. As much as possible suggestions, propos-als and ideas have to be fed into this iterative process to be transparently analysed and evaluated thus enabling decision on whether to include them in the further planning process, or not. To encourage suggestions from stakeholders and support acceptance of decisions and the final study result, a continuous consultation and dialogue process will be pursued during the entire study phase. The team will work closely with main stakeholders, i.e. Ministry for Public Works, Agriculture and Home Affairs, the Government departments dealing with transport and finance issues and the relevant private sector representatives as well as repre-sentatives of civil society. The team will also ensure proper contact and liaison with the other donors active in the transport sector. A principal risk to the project would be the failure on the part of the major stakeholders to agree on key policy issues. This may occur at any stage, including implementation, if policy issues become politicised. The way this risk can be contained is for the Consultant to engage with the Government and civil society from the earliest stages of the project so that potential policy disagreements are resolved as early as possible. In this respect, periodic reference to the overall project goals, which do not favour one particular interest group or geographical area, will be important.

Task 4.2 Presentations and Workshop/Seminar Programme

Presentations and workshops/seminars will be a focussed manifestation of the study’s ac-tivities by the project’s Steering Committee and the consultation and dialogue with stake-holders. It is tentatively proposed that presentations should have duration of not more than a half day, while stakeholder workshops/seminars would have duration of one to two days maximum. Presentations and workshops/seminars will be conducted when reaching important milestones of study preparation. Presentations will always be conducted in Georgetown, while work-shops/seminars will be conducted in Georgetown and in selected regional capitals. Presentations In the inception period the Consultant will discuss his preliminary findings and identified pri-orities with steering committee members and major stakeholders in order to obtain their re-flections and expectations with regard to the formulation of the Inception Report. A “first presentation” to the steering committee will be conducted in week five of the project and will consist of a presentation of key issues and the detailed work plan for the establishment of



the study. Further “presentations to the steering committee” will then be held, after reach-ing study milestones and to seek the steering committee’s approval of the project’s outputs, i.e. Interim Study Report (ISR), Draft Sector Policy (DSP), and the Draft Final report (DFR). Additional working sessions will furthermore be arranged on request of relevant role-players or in order to address technical issues, that otherwise could not be adequately dealt with in larger forums. Stakeholder workshops and seminars The more public nature of “workshops and seminars” indicates that these will be high-profile and will be important in encouraging commitment to policy implementation, investment and momentum generation. “Workshops and seminars” will consist of presentation of major study findings and recommendations and will aim to stimulate feedback and discussion. The work-shop/seminar programme will also be designed to guarantee an adequate representation of regional stakeholders and interests in the study process. The execution of the workshops and seminars will be organised in such a way that “ownership” of outputs by the participants is maximised. For this reason it is proposed that summary documentation of relevant workshop and seminar discussions and results be prepared and distributed to participants. At the end of the project a “closing workshop” will be held to support the presentation and consensus-building on the main results and recommendations for implementation. The proposed presentation and stakeholder workshop/seminar programme is summa-rised in the table below: Key Subject of presentation Target audience P1 Inception Report Presentation to Steering Committee P2 Interim Study Report Presentation to Steering Committee P3 Draft Transport Sector

Policy Presentation to Steering Committee

P4 Draft Final Report Presentation to Steering Committee W1 Interim Study Report Presentation to Stakeholders (National / Regional

Workshops) W2 Draft Transport Sector

Policy Presentation to Stakeholders (National / Regional Workshops)

W3 Draft Final Report Presentation to Stakeholders (National / Regional Workshops)

CW Final Report Presentation to Stakeholders (National Workshop)



Task 4.3 Web-site

The ToR requires the maintenance of a website. The Consultant will prepare the website and keep up-to-date its content aiming to provide: • information on the study and its objectives • reports and issue papers • response directly from the site • build in links to other useful sites The technical provisions and the hosting of the website have to be clarified in the early pro-ject stages. It is assumed that the hosting will be provided by Guyanese authorities in order to place the website within an official web-environment.

Task 4.4 Reporting

The Consultant will submit the stipulated reports as follows: • Inception report (four weeks after start of the project) • Interim study report (at the end of phase 1, ten weeks after the start of the project) • Draft transport sector policy (at the end of phase 2, five months after the start of the

project) • Draft final study report (3 weeks before the end of phase 3, before the end of month 9

of the project) • Final study report (at the latest 3 weeks after receipt of comments on the draft final

report, at the end of month 10 of the project) Underlying in-depth studies and issue papers will be annexed to the reports. Reports will be submitted to the Steering Committee for approval. Furthermore, summary documentation of relevant workshop discussions and results will be prepared and distributed to workshop participants after each workshop. Where possible, work-shop documentation will be annexed to the above mentioned reports. All reports will be prepared in English language and will contain an executive summary. With regard to the formats of reports and the phasing of report submission, the Consultant is committed to the requirements set out in the ToR. The Team Leader will be responsible for the co-ordination of the inputs of all team mem-bers into consistent and comprehensive reports and for the compilation, preparation, and delivery of these reports. GOPA will quality-check the reports in accordance with quality assurance procedures ISO 9001.

General Introduction The meeting started with Mr. Kenneth Jordan giving a brief introduction on what the duties of the Steering Committee were. Mr. Ismo Ulvila then remarked that the study will last for a period of ten (10) months, financed through the European Commission (EC).He remarked that the study would bring about the necessary recommendations for the improvement and further development of Guyana’s Transport Services. Mrs. Barbara Cole highlighted that the Ministries of Guyana will be involved so as to make the Transport Study a success. Mr. David Shelley gave a synopsis of the study approach and programme. He remarked that the Study will cover three phases – a detailed assessment of the sector and its linkages; a definition of the options to develop the sector and a formulation and implementation of strategy over the short, medium and long term. Brief specialist presentations were then given by Dr Rod Baldwin, Mr. John Clifton, Mr Alex McDonald and Dr. Edward Boehm on the Transport Sub-Sectors. RB presented key issues on the Air Transport Sub- Sector, i.e. the Organisational and Institutional issues, International commitments, Economic development and the effect of Caricom agreements. AMacD then spoke on behalf of Mr. Manfred Morisse about the Ports, Shipping and River Transport i.e. the modal importance, Initial Review, identification of Strengths and Weaknesses, Proposals for Water Transport Improvements, Evaluation of Proposed Changes and Recommendation. JC then stressed his view on Road Transport, i.e. the importance of Roads, Impacts, The Network- connectivity, level of service, Funding and Sector Management. The Socio-Economic Background, i.e. the long term outlook of the level of economic activities and the current economic outcomes and the reform potential was presented by EB. AMacD then spoke on Institutional Issues, i.e. the purpose of Institutional Review, Evaluation of existing situation, Identification of strength and weaknesses, Proposal for restructuring or reorganization, Evaluation of proposed institutional changes, recommendations and monitoring and evaluation. DS then thanked everyone for listening and attending the meeting. The floor was then given to anyone who had questions to ask concerning the Guyana Transport Sector Study and brief answers were provided by Experts. Finally KJ thanked everyone for taking time off to attend the Steering Committee meeting. The Press was then invited in, to interview Experts on the purpose of the Guyana Transport Sector Study. A Press Release was issued.

General Introduction DS welcome and introduced the team of experts to the committee. He then explained what the study is about and how Guyana can benefit from it in the coming years. EB remarked on the Barriers to Economic growth, Potentials and how Public sectors should invest in main commodities e.g. sugar can benefit the country. AMcD spoke that institutional set-up as service provider to transport services will help many individual sectors to satisfy transport needs as effective as possible. He also added that it would enable integration and inter-modal balance road, sea and air. JC remarked on the Road Network, Road Prioritization, and Issues in the roads sector. MM then explained that three Major Project were identified: Creation of NPA, New deep-Water Harbour, Regular dredging and new canal between Demerara and Essequibo. JFB Spoke on the Transport Services: Ferry Transport, Road Public Transport and Waterway Transport. DS remarked the identification, Analysis and Evaluation of work programme elements. He then concluded by thanking everyone for their kind attention. The floor was then open to anyone who had questions to ask. Questions Mr. John Lewis (a) Do we know the ultimate origin and destination for air passengers and cargo? (b) What happens if conflicts arise between national policies and international agreements

(e.g. Caricom)? (c) How can we address the possible establishment of a regional airline?

These questions were answered by Dr. Rod Baldwin. Mr. Ismo Ulvila (a) Mr. Ulvila observed that it was necessary to consider the roles of different players. For

instance would we consider the position of large companies such as Guysuco or the Linden Bauxite Mining Company?

(b) Mr. MacDonald replied that the roles of such important pillars of the economy would be considered in terms both of their needs and of their contribution to infrastructure and services.

(c) Mr. Ulvila commented that many functions were concentrated within the organizational chart of MPWC. He suggested that it would be sensible to set up providers of specialized services as autonomous companies – for instance Demerara Harbour Bridge.

Mr. Ivor English replied that the bridge company has already been formed as a self-financing corporation.



Mr. Ulvila then mentioned that bridge fees were very low in relation to costs. He stated that after an EU monitoring exercise it was recommended that the bridge fees should be tripled, but that this had not yet been done. Comments Mr. Colin Lord observed that in June, Guyana will host the Caribbean Conference on sugar and rice. He suggested that the team should meet with participants at the conference. Mrs. Barbara Cole informed the meeting that two new staff had recently been recruited to her Transport Planning Unit. She suggested that her new staff could contribute positively to the study. Mr. Ivor English expressed the hope that the team would pay due attention to development in remote areas such as Pomeroon River since such areas were very fertile.




Place: EC Delegation, Georgetown, on May 16, 2005 at 2.00 pm Chairman: Mr. Balraj Balram, Permanent Secretary, MPWC Present: About 15 persons, including Consultant’s team The Consultant’s presentation, illustrated by 45 slides, lasted from 1415 to 1505. The discussion then started immediately, as some SC members had to go elsewhere. Mr. John Lewis (Aviation Sector/ Caricom) offered a number of comments: • There should be a map of population distribution, including the location of communities

in the interior. There should also be some indication of the location of natural resources;

• The study should address the obligations of Caricom member states under the Treaty of Chaguaramos, which envisages the eventual removal of all restrictions in all sectors. He mentioned the multi-lateral air services agreement as an example;

• He sees nothing on subsidies (presumably in relation to Caricom and the air sector);

• He sees nothing on bilateral agreements with states outside Caricom;

• He believes there is indeed a role for government involvement in national carriers. He mentioned that LIAT is a government-owned national carrier, being 73 % government owned by several states);

• What are the long-term implications of the restricted runway length at Timehri – especially now that international regulations have increased the standard overrun?

David Shelley replied that our legal expert is working on the Caricom treaty. Dr. Rod Baldwin answered several of the points. He agreed that privatisation will not solve all problems, but also commented that public ownership seems to create them! He agreed that the air services agreement needs to be ‘closed up’. Mr. William Joseph (Transport and Harbours Dept) made several comments: • We should be looking at both ferries and terminals, and should we not also be

considering new vessels and new stellings?

• Privatisation – if the north-west services were abandoned, how could the social obligation to provide accessibility be met?

• We are about to acquire a new steeling at Supenaam – should others also be considered?

• Aggressive dredging should be pursued.

David Shelley commented that the ferry expert will come in September.



Alex MacDonald responded in relation to subsidies that we are indeed aware of most of the points raised by Mr. Joseph. Mr. Ismo Ulvila (EU) stated that he had many small and a few large points to make: • He appreciates that the availability of statistics in Guyana is poor;

• There is a need to demonstrate what could be achieved by some of the proposals made. For instance, what could be the effect of introducing weighbridges for trucks?

• Cost-effectiveness should be stressed in any investment studies;

• In respect of the in-depth studies, he would combine Nos 2 and 4. Why are they separate?

• He has always considered the Canawaima ferry as a loss-making enterprise. Have depreciation costs been taken into account? (Note: The ferry was surely provided at no cost to the governments of Guyana and Suriname through an EU grant);

• He understands that the Brazilian private sector would be willing to fund the Lethem road (Is this correct?).

Mr. Ivor English (MARAD) made two major comments: 1. Canawaima Ferry: All expenses have been met by the Guyana and Suriname

governments to date, including three dry dockings, the last of which cost USD 150,000. He mentioned also that GD 4 billion (USD 20 million – check?) was earmarked for the Suriname access road, but that the whole EU programme (for four projects costing € 60 million) had been frozen, due to a three-year impasse over conditionality related to the Suriname road maintenance regime.

2. Cabotage: Provision for cabotage is included in most of the Caricom legislation. This is straightforward for the majority of Anglophone Caribbean countries, but has not yet been achieved for Suriname, due to the different legal system.

The Chairman asked why In-Depth Studies 2 and 4 had been separately specified. David Shelley replied that this was for two reasons: 1. to control the total size of each study; 2. To allow prioritised focus on the problems of the Essequibo River.

Mr. Rickford Lowe (WSG) apologised that he had not yet studied the report, having returned to the country only the previous evening, but made two points: 1. WSG have already submitted a draft TOR to IDB for a weight control study. (Mr.

Persuad of IDB stated that GOPA should have a look at them);

2. WSG have also just prepared a draft TOR for submission to IDB for a long-term study of the Demerara Harbour Bridge.



Mr. Ismo Ulvila raised some queries on the special studies. He asked whether he understood correctly that the Georgetown urban transport study would be simply preparation of a TOR, while other studies would lead to some conclusions, even if not in great detail. David Shelley replied that Studies 4 and 5 were both intended to lead to conclusions and recommendations, while the purpose of Studies 1, 2 and 3 would be to define more detailed follow-up work. Mr. Lowe noted that there were constraints on the development of port facilities at Georgetown. ‘He knew for a fact’ that the Government is interested in developing facilities on the Berbice river. David Shelley confirmed that the shipping expert is looking at this. However, he questioned whether a deep-water port was really needed, since container traffic does not need large vessels on feeder routes. The shipping expert will review this in his report due in mid-June. Mr. Lowe also noted that a private sector group had expressed interest in the Brazil road – and had indeed discussed this with IDB in Washington. Mr. English expressed disagreement with the apparent assertion from the presentation that the vessel registration legislation was unsatisfactory. He stated that workable legislation had indeed existed since the Act of 1998. If the present system is allowed to work, it can perform quite well. He said that for the moment the main need was for a new regulatory body. However, there was no need for a split of MARAD (into port and shipping components) in the short term (at an earlier meeting in MARAD office it had appeared that he was advocating this!). Under the new legislation all new wharves will come under MARAD – however, THD is already established as operator of some of the existing government facilities. He pleaded for MARAD to be given a chance to prove that a public sector institution need not necessarily be unprofitable. Mr. William Joseph commented that accidents and safety should be a matter of concern to all sectors, not just the maritime sector. Mr. English noted that under the 1998 Act MARAD had responsibility for dealing with oil spills. The Chairman wished to set out the next steps for the study. He proposed that a meeting be held on June 15 to decide on the four in-depth studies. A date for a meeting at MPWC premises was pencilled into diaries. The Chairman then brought the meeting to a close at 1605.

Meeting Held at Ministers Office MPW&C Matters discussed by the Committee • Minister wants Cabinet involvement at an early stage.

• The Next steps are to launch 4 in-depth (special) studies (with total c. 6mm input), Schedules for preparation of these studies? GOPA to draw up profiles asap for distribution to the Project Supervisor.

• 1. Urban Transport Study No.1 – output will be a TOR for later detailed Study but one which will refer to all previous studies including, for instance, the Southern Approach Roads Study, the Demerara Bridge Study, and Georgetown traffic Studies.

• 2. Multi-sectoral Study No.2– Rivers, Ports and Roads – issues include navigation aids, safety, dredging, bauxite exploitation

• 3. Rural Transport Study No. 3– still considering how to approach this subject but WSG has been thinking of two-stage approach i.e. the first stage for the coastal areas– transport as stand-alone issue e.g. farm access roads, secondary roads; and a second stage for the hinterland – maybe an integrated rural development programme, with transport component. In case, population and poverty issues must be addressed.

• 4. Multi-sectoral Study No. 4 – Ferries, Shipping and Roads – the new Berbice Bridge would potentially release 2 ferries to be placed elsewhere (possibly at the Essequibo River. Need to study the mouth of the Pomeroon River and the improvement of cargo/ferry services to the NW). The road link to Venezuela would pass to the south of these services

• 5. Multi-sectoral Study No. 5 – HRD and the general Transport Sector



• The Minister proposed Studies 1-4, which was accepted by the Steering Committee.

• Mr. Joseph mentioned that for the Ferry operations – the Study should integrate the upgrading of stellings with vessel and ferry services, but there are no plans to get new ferries at present or to introduce RORO services within the short term.

• The EU wanted the Services to be customer orientated and the Studies selected to respond to GOG intentions

• IADB was keen on the UTS (SS No. 1) and a review of the issues in (SS No.2). (SS1) and (SS2) should be carried out in parallel

• Colin Lord: Comments on the Interim Report to be made within 60 days (i.e. 60 days after 16/05). Minister – why not 7 or 14 days? (Note: comments had been elaborated by the Members of the Steering Committee at the SC3 held at the EU Delegation Office on May 16 and these comments have been recorded and forwarded to Barbara Cole, Project Supervisor on June 17 2005, for general dissemination purposes).

• Mr. Joseph Ferry specialist due to come in August/ September 2005 should concentrate on operations and not look per se at vessel condition.

• Mr. Lewis CARICOM Reference to plans for lengthening of the runway at Timehri airport. Minister mentioned that an internal Study was underway.

• The Minster was happy with overall progress in the air transport sub-sector and saw no reason for inclusion of this sub-sector in the Special Studies. This was echoed by the SC.

AOB • EU – the PRSP draft progress report is to be published shortly. The EU proposes that the

GOPA study should feed into PRSP report and address access issues in the PRSP. The previous PRSP report had very little coverage of transport issues. The Minister replied that he had only received a draft last week.

• Budget support (~€20 million) – conditionality issues i.e. GOG to promote donor coordination and all thematic groups to be functional – suggestion that Steering Group should be used as a thematic group.

MPWC would now issue a formal letter confirming the decision to go ahead with these Special Studies, whereupon GOPA would go ahead with detailed preparations and inform NAO of any new Team Experts to be mobilised in this regard.

General Introduction The meeting commenced with BC welcoming everyone to the Fifth Steering Committee Meeting and handing the floor over to DS, who gave a brief synopsis of the working papers in progress. Immediately after presentations were made by A MacD (2), JC and DS. A MacD spoke about the necessity of having Traffic data, key points being the relationship between demand and system capacity and assessing future investments to meet demand increases He remarked on little or no evidence available on past traffic growth in the areas of Roads, Air, Ports, Container. Also the fact growth will increase but at a slow capacity over the next ten years. JC presented data obtained from a public transport minibus survey during the hours of 6am to 9pm on given days to project the overloading and route patronage. A MacD presented some slides on shipping analyses (prepared by Mr Andrew Elcock, in absentia).



DS presented some slides on population and poverty analyses (prepared by Dr .Mark Bynoe, in absentia). [A peer review of the WP 16 was undertaken by Ms. Janette Bulkan of the University of Yale]. At the end of the presentation, just after at 3.0 p.m., Barbara Cole (BC) opened the floor to questions. Questions & Comments Mr. Rickford Lowe RL: Lethem Count in WP 13. Source of Lethem count. (Traffic was normally higher?) AMcD responded that it was a GOPA Moving Car Observer count. RL also expressed concern at an apparent recommendation to remove minibuses from some routes in favour of large buses. JC stated that we were not advocating the complete removal of minibuses. Mr Per Eklund PE asked what potential contribution Port Investment would make to the Poverty Reduction Strategy. A McD responded that usually new Post investments yielded ‘knock- on’ positive economic growth effects, etc. Mr Per Eklund PE asked how yachting and cruise ships would be incorporated in the Sector Strategy? He also asked whether we had considered Guyana as a refuge for vessels threatened by hurricanes, given that they seemed to be moving south to cover previously ‘safe’ islands (e.g. Grenada). DS remarked that he had coincidently received a letter from the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana on June 29th 2005, asking how these two particular aspects could be incorporated in the transport sector strategy. DS remarked that the need for Navigation Aids would be incorporated within the SS No. 2 (River Transport) and that the matter of berth requirements for cruise ships at Georgetown would be investigated by the Ports Expert and reported later. Christopher Persaud CP IDB asked about Route 40, the fact that minibuses pick up passengers elsewhere on this route. JFC replied that a formal route plan should be developed to avoid such congestion in the central areas. Mr Joseph: Dredging needs seem important? How would this be addressed in the Study? He noted that port charges seemed high compared to other Caribbean hubs. DS replied that this matter would be investigated. AM also commented that port charges comment was interesting and will receive further investigation. [After the meeting DS mentioned to Mr Joseph that a Ferry Roundtable would be held in August 2005]. Barbara Cole (BC) closed the Meeting at around 3.40 and noted that the next Steering Committee Meeting would be tentatively planned for end August 2005.

GUYANA SECTOR TRANSPORT STUDY

WORKSHOP - MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2005- 2015 25 April 2205

Comments on the Workshop In the context of the presentation, the discussion was focused on the following topics: 1. Should the government be involved in developing new sources of growth? The participants argued that there is no general answer. The constraints that have been identified with regard to the Information and Communication Technology are within the area of state responsibility, as they demand an appropriate legal framework and a sector friendly policy. With regard to new crops, the state support should address above all the research institutions. The state should help in promoting contacts to institutions which are leading in the agriculture technology. Incentives to national producer of crops should have clear defined objectives and a firm limit in time. 2. Which is the major development constraint from your perspective? 1. Lack of access to credit for small businesses? 2. Emigration of skilled labour? 3. Insufficient transport facilities? 4. Ineffective administration? 5. High import tariffs? The overwhelming majority voted for the answer 4 (ineffective administration) – 8 votes; on the second place was insufficient transport -4 votes. The aspect of credit and emigration has got only 3 votes each. Nobody has seen the import tariff as a constraint. These votes reflect above all the problems of the daily life, since everybody has to deal in one or another way with the administration. From the economic point of view, the aspect 1) and 2) are at least as important as aspect 4). 3. The road to Brazil There was a consensus that the road is important for opening up the enclaves in the interior of the country. The potential of the Amazon region has been seen as argument in favour of the road.

Venue – Office of the Prime Minister Attendance List: Mr. S. Hinds Prime Minister Mr. T. Balgobin Div. Head PCMD MoF Mr. Sergio Varas Olea IDB Resident Representative Mr. K. Hogan Projects Adviser to the President Mr. P Eklund EU Ambassador Mr. I Ulvila EU Technical Counsellor Mrs. Barbara Cole Project Supervisor Mr. Balraj Balram PS WPW&C Mr. D. Shelley GOPA Project Manager Mr. G. Fletcher GOPA Public Transport Expert Mr. J. Holder E&A Engineering Expert Mr. A. Dharry MD E & A Consultants

13.30- 15.00 Prime Ministers Office, Georgetown. Summary Meeting enabled follow up discussion of First Presidential Meeting held on August 5. Main comments were received from the two Presidential advisors. Members of the Steering Committee, EU Delegation Ambassador and Technical Staff were in attendance.

The Prime Minister opened the meeting. The Prime Minister asked Mr. Balgobin and Mr. Kevin Hogan to provide details of the missing reports in advance of a follow-up meeting planned at the same location on Wednesday 17 August 2005. The Team delivered a list of some 300 documents consulted to date to the Prime Minister on August 10.



The main comments from Mt. Balgobin Presidential Advisor were: Mr. Balgobin: Senior Presidential Advisor 1. Study and SC need a problem solving mode. Questioned whether the Consultants ToR needed to be changed. Need to look also at some specific areas. There was a need to address the issue of regional integration, inter-regional and intra- regional integration. For instance, the role of Ogle Airport should e expounded. 2. There was a need to look at communications and linkages. Existing 2,500 km road network is very little for a country the size of Guyana. Examine the role of critical road links, such as the Guyana Brazil Road, the Venezuela road. 3. Tourism: examine the role of the Tourism Masterplan for land, air and sea modes. 4. Industrial Development and Growth. Policies are already formulated. A Freeport at Lethem is proposed. This needs to be considered, as well as the Rupununi development. 5. There is a project for markets development near ferries near the Guyana -Suriname borders. 6. Agriculture output and expansion plans should be examined together with the river transport on the Berbice River. Need to examine reintroducing the ferry services on the Berbice River. Need to consider farmers plans, can the farmer move his goods to market? There is a need to examine the LEAP Programme, developments at Bartica and the Lethem Rupununi Programme Development. Some agriculture development plans exists. There was a plan for upgrade of New Amsterdam port into a deep water port. 7. Riverine Access for passenger transport was also mentioned. 8. There is an Industrial Authority Commission, so Trade and Industrial Development need to be mentioned. The main comments from Mr. Kevin Hogan, Presidential Advisor were: Mr. Kevin Hogan 1. The Steering Committee needs to be expanded. 2. The consultant needs to reference some specific World Bank Studies1. 3. The Study needs to provide ‘value for money’ 4. Why do the three ToR’s2 need to be developed? 5. Is there missing information out there?

1 An important recent report (on Caribbean Air Transport and Ports, June 2005), received on August 12 from the World Bank, is currently being referenced. 2 Agreed by the Minister of Transport in June 2005.



The main comments from Mr. Per Eklund EU Ambassador and from Mr. Ismo Ulvila EU Senior Technical Counselor were: EU Ambassador Mr. Per Eklund 1. Ambassador Per Eklund noted that the ToR agreed by Government prior to the Tender.

EU Technical Counselor Mr. Ismo Ulvila 2. Mr. Ismo Ulvila defended the Consultants work Programme and Interim Report, noting

that the Report had been issued in May 2005 some three months earlier and that only minor comments had been received by the Steering Committee.

Prime Minister asked the Consultant to say a few words: The main comments from GOPA were: 1. Five Steering Committee Meetings have taken place since March 2005, plus some one

hundred one-on-one interviews/discussions, inside and outside Guyana, with private and public sector bodies involved in the Transport Sector development.

2. Some five regional cooperation visits had also been implemented, to date to Suriname, Brazil and Trinidad.

Prime Minister suggested to chair a Follow-up Meeting next Week (August 17 was programmed). The Prime Minister then closed the meeting at 15.00 hours.

Mr. Joe Holder Roads/ Bridges Specialist, E & A Consultants Inc. Venue -Office of the Prime Minister Time -10:20 a.m. 1) Periodic Maintenance of Core Road Network Average funding over next ten (10) years: E 8M per annum. Total for ten (10) years E 80M. 2) IIRSA Group 2 - Road from Suriname to Brazil Roads exist from Linden to Lethem. Part construction by Paranapanema. Some dangerous sections. Need for the public to appreciate the cost of roads and road maintenance. Use of Acrow panel components to build bridges. Mabura to Kurupukari. Road alignment and reserve to be declared. Research project done on soil stabilise laterite. Blending of laterite and sand. Study done in 1970’s. Publication “Laterite and Lateritic Soils and other problem soils in Tropics”. Published by USAID. Mr. Philip Allsopp participated in the study. Stabilised laterite should be able to produce a cheaper road. The Prime Minister supports the idea. Use of appropriate equipment to construct roads to minimise maintenance. Scrubbing board effect on laterite roads. This has been studied for years. Effect due to loss of fines. Fines need to be replaced. Stabilisation leads to reduction of loss of fines. Laterite deposit South of Orealla on the Corentyne River Sand available in the Corentyne River. The use of these materials for road construction was recommended to Guysuco by Mr. Philip Allsopp. Stabilised laterite may be used for the style construction of paved roads.



3) Road to Venezuela Aricheng airstrip is near Kurupung.

Fuel transported from the coast to Kurupung mouth by boats travelling via to Essequibo and Mazaruni Rivers. Surveyor Daniels looked for a trail from Kurupung to Kamarang and has prepared a report – PM.

ETK Mining Co. has improved the Oko Road and extended it to Towaparu. There is a trail from there to Macapa. Ask Barama about a forest trail connection to Macapa and about its road connection to the Waini area.

There is increased activity in the Aurora Mine area on the Cuyuni River.

4) Construction of a canal between the Essequibo and Demerara Rivers to move

construction and other materials – Mr. Philip Allsopp. 5) Rural Road/ Transport Study Expert arriving today. 140 Amerindian communities, 75 have title to land.

Road to connect Baramita to the rest of its forest road network developed by Barama. This road enables road travel to Matthews Ridge and Port Kaituma.

6) Roads for Security Purposes There is need for an East-West road in the middle of the country. Barama has been advised not to take its forest road network too near to the Venezuela border.

Case – Unamco has a trail which goes 110 km East to Christmas Falls.

GDF should be consulted.

Road from Millie’s Hideout to Kimbia may be developed.

7) Development of Access Roads in Development Areas. 8) Access Roads in Core Areas (Farm to market roads). 9) Other Links This is a “catch all” category.

Wismar – Mackenzie Bridge to be transferred from Linmine to MPWC after bauxite on West Bank is mined out in five (5) years.

The traffic lights in Georgetown were installed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and not Ministry of Works and Transport in 1970’s as stated by the Commissioner of Police to GOPA representatives.



5.4 Record of Comments Meeting Notes at Prime Minister’s Office September 30,

Dharry E & A Consultants Mr. Joe Holder E & A Consultants David Shelley Project Leader, GOPA Manfred Morisse GOPA Heinrich Anders GOPA Alex MacDonald GOPA

Date: Friday, September 30, 2005 at 1400 in Prime Minister’s Office The Prime Minister opened the meeting with a brief welcome, during which he observed that he had recently travelled the Linden-Lethem road (traversed in 11 hours driving), and mentioned the importance of the Waini river in the north-west region (Region 1). He then invited the Consultants to report on latest progress. David Shelley (DS) introduced a hand-out he had distributed to the meeting. He highlighted a note and map on Road Categorisation, and told us that Mr. Joe Holder (JH) would present key points. He also showed the meeting a satellite map for general reference. He mentioned that the development of international road links will require the reaching of consensus with neighbours, and said that we would focus on two alignments for the proposed road to Venezuela.



Roads JH now gave a long presentation on the road sector, interspersed with several detailed comments from the Prime Minister. Main issues raised included the following: Venezuela road • In international discussions, each neighbour had the right to nominate one border link.

Guyana chose Brazil; Venezuela chose Guyana; • At least one existing trail (near Cuyuni river) goes to 7 km from the border; • JH will meet a Mr. Daniels next week concerning an alignment through Kurupung/

Kamang; • Maj-Gen Singh is a supporter of one particular alignment; • The proposed lines of route largely follow trails developed by others; • JH noted there were often disparities between forestry and mining interests; • A northern route could give impetus to the development of Supenaam port.

Other Issues • All national roads should be paved (except Linden-Lethem – not presently declared); • PM – should regional roads come under the authority of the region? • PM – how does the national/ regional/ local/ municipal classification suggested by the

Consultants compare with the existing categorisation? • PM – in developing bauxite deposits in the Pakaraima mountains, they are thinking of a

pipeline, rather than a railway, to the Berbice (if that is the location for the deep-water port). Access trails will, however, also be needed;

• Orinduik (Region 8) has been proposed as an official entry point to Guyana (from Brazil);

• The PM asked whether farm access roads should fall under NDC’s; • There was discussion on the road east from Lethem; • The LEAP programme is considering improvement of linkages in Region 10, and also

considering potential for using local materials – JH plans to discuss these issues with the LEAP manager;

• The PM mentioned possible revival of a Bartica-Demerara link as shown on some maps. Concerning roads Mr. Varas raised an institutional issue. He asked for definitions and standards for different types of road, and a definition of maintenance responsibility. JH replied that road numbering should be introduced, and DS stated that John Clifton (JC – due on Monday 3/10/05) would work with WSG on standards. Mr. Varas also stated that any economic justification of network maintenance must include the key element of sustainability.



Ferries The Prime Minister now called for discussion of ferries. DS explained that the ferry expert had now departed, but had developed a working paper with an investment schedule, following discussions with THD. The initial investment would be limited, focusing especially on the cross-Essequibo services. Any new vessels should be Ro-Ro, and not side-loaders. The PM asked whether the same stellings can service both Ro-Ro and side-loader vessels. MM stated that he was not the expert on this, but thought there were sites where Ro-Ro and side-loading facilities could be placed very close to each other. MM also stated that, in the long run, passenger and cargo transport services should be separately provided. In response to the PM’s question on why, he stated this would reduce the risk of accident. DS quoted the ferry expert (AH) as saying the ferry operating costs were very high, so it might therefore be a good idea to change vessels now. He observed there is a glut on the market of vessels with 60-80 passenger capacity, and prices can therefore be competitive. The PM observed that Transport and Harbours Department (THD) are said to lose money, and said that ferries have traditionally come with highly subsidised prices. He thought that speedboats should be upgrading to covered rather than open vessels, and said passengers should have the option of a ‘shed boat’. He would not be inclined to have THD running passenger-only services. Concerning public-private partnership (PPP) the Prime Minister remarked that the private sector can indeed often do a good job, but that it may not always be developed enough to ‘institutionally’ perform better than the public sector. The PM also mentioned that there are private speedboats going through internal routes to Charity. JH said he had observed that the ‘Malali’ was very crowded. Mr. Varas stated that the consultants should identify the best PPP model – in consultation of course with Government. The PM stated that the Morawhanna service ran only once every two weeks, but may be needed every week, or even twice a week. This may indicate the need for smaller vessels. DS suggested we could calculate a route subsidy specifically for that route. The PS also suggested that Morawhanna might be an entry point for Trinidad and the Caribbean. It has been used in the past. Currently there is a trader exporting coconut oil through the Pomeroon river and Charity to a Caribbean destination (believed to be Dominica).



Draft Investment and Maintenance Programme DS now mentioned that we had produced a Draft Investment and Maintenance Programme, and asked Alex MacDonald (AMacD) to present this briefly. An early draft of a working paper was incorporated in the hand-out given round at the beginning of the meeting. AMacD described the main features of the proposed ten-year programme, divided into short-term (2006-10) and medium-term (2011-15) components. It contained only items which were expected to require funding partly or wholly from the public purse, or from donor finance. It included a substantial component for periodic road maintenance, over and above annual needs for routine maintenance. Total required expenditure was provisionally assessed as € 361 million, including € 118 million for 2006-10 and € 243 million for 2011-15. Of the latter figure, € 180 million referred to three projects, namely the Brazil and Venezuela roads and the Georgetown container port, none of which had yet been subjected to the detailed feasibility analysis which would be required before any decision could be made to proceed. The question of the need for prioritisation of projects clearly emerged from the first part of the paper. AM stressed the need for prioritisation processes to be instituted in MPW, and gave a simple example from the working paper of a process which might serve for initial project screening. Finally AMacD presented an outline definition of needs and expected costs for short-term technical assistance to the various transport agencies. The anticipated cost of items already costed was given as € 705,000, but there were other items still to be added. Mr. Varas observed that maintenance of roads was an item of great importance. Mr. M. Williams of Ministry of Finance (MOF) mentioned that discussions on the funding capacities of government and of donors in relation to the unconstrained programme should be held with his ministry. He mentioned three names of particular relevance (Mr. Balgobin, Mr. Rupchang and Mr. Ashley Singh) and promised to attempt to expedite an early meeting. Further arrangements were made with AMacD at the end of the meeting. Mr. Ismo Ulvila (EC Delegation) said that EDF have just invested € 2 million on sea defences. Sophisticated software has been installed for coastal planning. It is a matter of concern that there is now only one person left who can use the software. If HDM-4 is to be used for road maintenance planning, can the capacity to operate it be maintained? Mr. Ulvila continued that, with discussions die to start in early 2006 on a possible 10th EDF, the Delegation has major concerns on lack of maintenance, especially since previous commitments for sea defences have not been met. He stated that EDF does not have resources to match those of IDB, and suggested that the whole EDF grant for EDF 10 might be about € 45 million. He further elaborated that EDF is not part of the EU budget, but a special fund financed by the 15 pre-2004 EU members. EC is only one part of the EU, one of whose functions is disbursement of EDF funds. Mr. Ulvila also stated that no early funding



should be expected from EC, since all EDF 9 funds are already tied. The earliest that any feasibility studies could be funded by EC would be 2007, and no investment funds could be available before 2008 at the earliest. Mr. Varas stated that IDB are also ‘not that fast’ in dispersion of funds. He asked can he have a table with breakdown of projects, and with numbers. It would be important to define the role of the private sector, though he conceded that a strong public sector role was probably also necessary. Other Matters The Prime Minister observed that, though Mr. Philip Allsopp was not present at this meeting, he has identified ideas on road surface mixes which will give improved stabilisation of roads. The PM also mentioned the issue of developing private sector contracting capability in Guyana. A relevant factor in Guyana may be the size of jobs which can be contracted to the private sector. When JH commented that there have been complaints that IDB jobs have been too small, the Prime Minister replied that, in order to maintain a wide enough range of expertise, there should probably be a minimum of 50 jobs each year for contractors. The PM mentioned success in getting operators at Ogle airport to develop scheduled as well as chartered flights. This can help them develop as regional carriers. Finally the Prime Minister likened the development of a transport system and transport planning capability to the growth of an embryo. In the same way as we don’t create a human being straight away, achievement of desired goals is constrained by having to develop in stages. It is only possible to move forward in steps. Closure of Meeting After the long discussion the Prime Minister moved to close the meeting. In response to his query about the Presidential meeting scheduled for October 20, DS clarified that His Excellency the President had requested postponement from the original date of October 6. Mr. Varas said that it would be useful to have a copy of the Draft Report one week before October 20. DS informed him that the target was to deliver the report on Friday, October 14.



6 Presidential Meetings

6.1 Presidential Meeting No.1

Guyana Transport Sector Study Project Nº 9ACP GUA004 Record of Meeting Minutes Date – August 05th 2005 Venue – Office of the President Time – 16.00hrs ________________ ______________________________________________________ Meeting enabled shortened presentation of slide show that summarised Study activities and findings to date and to enable VIPs and Steering Committee to comment and provide mid-Study feedback and direction. Not all slides were presented. Senior Ministers, IDP, EU and other donor community VIPs were in attendance also.

The Main comments from HE the President were: 1) No real examples of solutions – re-iteration of known issues.

2) There is no need for new studies such as on minibus terminals and axle load regulations since these are existing study and solutions were already known.

3) Use of Large buses have been tried several times and had failed.

4) Transfers of ferries from China have already been decided so there is no need for study.

5) NDS is not yet a national strategy.

6) Solutions that are found by the Study should reflect:

(a). The Guyana Context (b). The Poverty Reduction Strategy principles. (c). Cultural alliance and Traditions of the Caribbean Region [such as use of minibuses] (d). Sustainability (e). Support of safe working – operating practices.

7) New institutions not favoured but rather strengthening of current institutions.

(a). Need for skilled specialist staff. (b). Limited resources available. (c). ‘Big City’ solutions not needed in Georgetown.



8) Is full use being made of the results of previous studies? Need to address development plans for Guyana - reports available. How will a transport network support the development strategy, for example? Rice shipping problems - reports available.

9) Sustainability of policy

10) Safety measures linked

11) Assess use of relatively inexpensive local materials in road construction and repair, for roads need to consider

(a) Width of shoulders (b) Plans for lighting, etc.

12) Finite taxation capacity to fund changes. Fuel tax: high cost of fuel imports

13) Proposals needed to be classified - prioritised into short-term, medium term or long-term timeframes.

14) Show opportunities to include the private sector.

The Main comments from Mr. Balgobin, MoF Advisor were:

15) What were the socio-economic benefits of the Brazil road?

16) Was it feasible to develop a rail freight line for agro-industrial transport?

17) Comments on interior connections can be assisted.

18) Would Ogle Airport be sustainable as a regional hub?

The Main comments by the Inter – Development Bank (IDB) were:

19) Links with neighbouring countries not mentioned especially – Guyana Brazil road.

20) Water transport more emphasis.

21) Funds available for urban transport study. Minibus logic difficult to change.

General Introduction H.E. The Honourable President Bharat Jagdeo welcomed and thanked everyone for attending. Mr. David Shelley (Project Manager) opened the floor at 11:26 welcoming everyone and thanked the President for the opportunity to make the presentation of the Study Draft Final Report. Mr. Shelley mentioned some key issues and the indicative investment programme arising from the Teams work, and also the: TOR for Urban Transport Study TOR for River Transport Study TOR Pilot Study in the Hinterland (Rural Transport) The TSS has been developed through a participative approach, the technical Workshops, Steering Committee meetings, Coordination meetings chaired by the Prime Minister, development of the Project Website, www. GuyanaTransportStudy.com Presentation by Mr. John Clifton (Road Transport) made presentations on the development of balanced transport system. He made mention of the annual expenditures and the need for periodic maintenance IIRSA corridors development – incremental, needs 44 bridges A Needs driven approach – Guyana/ Brazil Guyana – Venezuela road – feasibility study TOR for study No.1 Georgetown traffic study TOR for rural transport study No.3 Presentation by Dr. Rodney Baldwin (Air Transport) Three themes discussed by RB were: Keep improving Ogle & Cheddi Jagan International Airports Hinterland hubs and spikes improvements CJIA to be become fully privatised Study for extension of runway Need for better navigational aids Mgt study: upgrade, operate & Mabaruma, Kamarang, Mahdia, Lethem, need subsidy Presentation of Manfred Morisse (Maritime Transport) River Transport Policy Development through institutions and infrastructures Vital link to Northwest (improvements based on the Canawaima Ferry Service which is a good model for future ferry service) MM noted that equipment can be used for dredging but the channel dredged will only silt up again if not maintained and should only be done on a sustained basis. Urgent need for safety equipment for TDH ferries No port authority Difficulty for MARAD is to attract professional staff Multipurpose (deep) water port: staged development as traffic builds. Development plan for Port of Georgetown and the waterfront.



Presentation by Alex. Mc Donald (Institutional Specialist) Reintroduction of heavy railways - should comment on use for timber and quarries The activation of the Road fund. Likely to be a strong opposition. GOG should be commended. Financial funding is already critical. With regards to fares, public sectors fares are regulated within the Ministry Subsidy to Region 1 ferry service For G/Town: in future heavy rail may not be appropriate Road sector: Road maintenance fund Investment and maintenance program David Shelley (DS) remarked:- Some Key generic problems: • Maritime sector • PPP capability • Approach to IIRSA connectivity • Continued support for air transport.

Final Report due to be finalised by mid/end December. Closing presentation should take place by mid January/February 2006 Question & Answers President Jagdeo commented After the GOPA presentation the President said that he had a sense of dejá vu, and that he had heard all these comments before from previous consultants. While there was no doubt much good detail in the report, he felt that it lacked a deep strategic dimension. • In particular he saw no link to the economic development strategies, as expressed in the

National Development Strategy (NDS) and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP).

• Air Transport – six years ago GOG was discussing with IADB most of the issues raised in the presentation.

• Monitoring and implementation limited by costs – full privatization • Consultant’s fee is 30% of project costs. • Treasury does not have enough money to facilitate operation costs and maintenance is

high • Chinese’s new ferry vessel grant funding • Transport plan has to follow where the country needs to go and also a National plan

does exist. • Discussions with Brazil and Lethem road corridor. Need for transport in intermediate

savannahs: development should be looked at. • The Transport Sector Strategy is regarded as a planning framework for concepts:

redefinition of (any) transport agency would be implemented by other consultants later through the GoG

• GOG not happy with IDB conditions on regular maintenance before proceeding with roads works



David Shelley referred to the layout of Mr. Heinrich Anders WP 25 on Regional Development in relation to regional Planning in Guyana such as Intermediate Savannahs Project. Referred to Working Papers and plan to illuminate the linkages between the NDS/PRSP/ Government strategy and the TSS. Mr. Tarachand Balgobin Disappointed that railways have not been emphasized for development in Transport of sand and timber. Mr. Kevin Hogan Economy will grow at 1- 2% with growth in exports other than sugar & bauxite. Growth in the Tourism industry will spur economy. Thought Consultants vision of economic growth3 in the central scenario is pessimistic Dr. Lucie Hamner Comment on a balanced transport system: if transport is to support economic development then the transport system may be unbalanced. Strategic transport strategy should be illuminated. IADB IADB will provide written comments on the DFR in due course The Draft Final Report had much good material, but would like to see more on the linkages between transport and economic and on the classifications of roads. Saw little on legal matters4 (note: Teams legal expert was not present at the meeting). Noted that growth in the transport sector would liberate funds for the development of the road systems. Mr. John Clifton responded that Consultants were trying, with the maintenance programme, to liberate funds which previously were always spent on the premature reconstruction of the primary road network Closing Remarks The President expressed his wish that the transport sector plan should fit seamlessly into the National Development Strategy. He hoped that this particular area could be further illuminated over the coming two months. He thanked all Meeting participants.

1 EU Road infrastructure and enforcement of weights: the traffic police used in Northern European countries movable in-site weighting units (to be located under the wheels of the truck) that can be fitted into the trunk of a police vehicle. This very cost-effective truck load-enforcement technique could be one solution in a vast thinly inhabited country.

Updated text in WP No 1

2 EU The issue of (road) maintenance and the cycle behind it should be more stressed in the report. It is, for example, mentioned as one key sector issue, but one feels that the depreciation of the assets should merit a chapter of its own. Perhaps the obvious issues in direct need of attention could be highlighted in thematic "boxes" within the body of the report to further stress them?

Insertion of Annex 3 in WP No 1 and insertion of thematic box in the Main Report

3 EU The same applies to sustainability, which could be treated as a transversal issue involved in each proposal, i.e. issues affecting sustainability Sustainability is clearly a key issue. Besides Chapter 5 of the Main Report Factors Ensuring Sustainability , some examples of transversal issues, such as the Maintenance of Roads, Road User Charges and PPP arrangements have been high-lighted, as thematic boxes.

4 EU Possible boxes could e.g. include maintenance, PPP, institutional set-up, traffic safety and air transport Insertion of thematic boxes in the Main Report 5 EU I'm afraid that the issue of Road maintenance funding could have been dealt with deeper with this study. Would it be it be possible e.g. analyse the

consequences of a higher fuel tax? (p.10).Insertion of Section 3.4 in WP6 and cross - reference to WP 1

6 EU Further on maintenance, how much lessons learned from the WB African Road Maintenance Initiative (RMI) could be applied to Guyana , where most problems seem to be much alike?

Insertion of Annex 4 in WP 1

7 EU The way on how to create the Road Authority is falling short from the institutional point of view. If the legislation can be drafted, how about the other elements such as e.g. required institution strengthening and specific mandate and funding? As it is mentioned in the report, the GoG policy drawn from the PRSP is to strengthen the capacity of Road Administration, but how?

Insertion of Section in WP8 and insertion of text in the Main Report

8 EU Given the unreliability of the traffic volumes I suggest a sensitivity analysis to be undertaken for the increase of road traffic, since many recommendations of the report depend on it.

Low and High traffic forecasts have been specified for all modes in WP 13, for instance in 5.3. Insertion of text box in the Main Report

9 EU Could the report give any recommendations or figures for the Public Service Obligations? Insertion of text in the Main Report and in WP610 EU Guyana badly needs a road safety programme given the sad statistics (p.13). Could that be suggested to the action plan, focusing to education,

enforcement, engineering and cost-benefits ?Insertion of thematic box in the Main Report, Insertion of Annex 2 in WP 1, and inclusion within Implementation Plan (Ref. 14)

11 EU What is a realistic time-frame for the institutional reforms (especially regarding road authority, rivers and inland waterways and air traffic organisational arrangements) ?

Insertion of Sections 3.6.1 in WP8 and insertion of text in the Main Report

12 EU The mention that "Guyana lacks the technical capacity for carrying out or even evaluating EIA studies"(p.42 and somewhere else) is hard to or even evaluating EIA studies"(p.42 and somewhere else) is hard to believe. Is this really so?

Comments and recommendations are the result of the discussions with the EPA. To elaborate a national law like the “Environmental Protection Act” (Act No.11, of 1996) or to sign International Conventions is one thing, the implementation and control of the Act is another. There are not enough educated staff members or technical support, especially in the EPA, and other institutions.

13 EU Does the consultant have any concrete proposals how to organise the work of the Public Utilities Commission to cover minibus fares, Demerara harbour bridge etc. For example, how much more staffing and other resources would that need ? Or, if the PUC is to become the watchdog for these additional areas, what else will be needed ? (since no new legislation is required)

Attempts were made in December 05 to discuss these aspects with the PUC Chairman, who was, however, unable to meet the team at a time when at least one relevant minister was out of the country. The Team was advised to simply present our proposal, and leave it to Government to evaluate its merits.

14 EU It is understood that …China would provide ferries… (p. 46). Can this be confirmed ? There was no firm news at mid December 2005.


Comments of IDB


1 IDB Missing Areas: Border Crossings and driving direction. (Both of these issues are related to regional integration.

The required investments in improvements at Border crossings are important but are not directly part of the TSS. Refer additional text in WP 1 in respect of driving direction.

2 IDB No mention of the RMMS which was already implemented and in operation. There is a recommendation towards the full implementation of a road fund and a road authority, but no analysis is provided on the appropriateness, efficiency and efficacy of the RMMS, that could be used as a justification to recommend such a change. It should be noted that a road fund is one way (not the only way) to finance road works, and that the technical activities involved in road maintenance are the same regardless of how these works are being financed.

Refer additional text in WP 1

3 IDB Maintenance Resources: There is a reference to US$4.5 million needed per year to cover maintenance needs, but it does not state the scope of the activities involved (i.e. whether this is for routine, periodic, etc.) that could be considered as a justification for such amount.

Refer additional text in WP 1

4 IDB The economic background and projections should be developed with more details The base macroeconomic scenario is based on the IMF/ World Bank's Debt Sustainability Scenario. Refer to updated WP5.

5 IDB The size of the investments that are recommended should be related to the size of the economy of the country, and its expected growth. Also the investments should be analyzed within the HIPC program, and debt sustainability should be taken into consideration.

The base macroeconomic scenario is based on the IMF/ World Bank's Debt Sustainability Scenario. Refer to updated WP5.

6 IDB There is no link in the Report between the economic growth for the country (or different growth scenarios) and the investment plans developed. Different plans should take into consideration the different expected growth as well as the limitations imposed by the HIPC programme.

A link between the economic growth for two different growth scenarios and two different (constrained) indicative investment and maintenance plans is shown in updated WP 28. The latter are based on two different constrained scenarios of 'available' sector funds. It is stressed that there are so many factors determining the values of 'available' funds, that this is an illustrative and potentially misleading exercise.

Comments of PMO



MOLG& RD Review of Vol III, Section 3.3, highlights the responsibilities of the MOLG and RDC's and various NDC's as well as Municipalities as it relates to Maintenance of feeder and Secondary Roads within the Regions. Your statement posits in a very general/vague manner about lack of maintenance.

Misleading statement corrected

1 MOLG& RD Firstly "who" (Agency) determines which feeder or secondary roads will be approved for maintenance after submission by the MOLG and RDC's in their yearly budget estimates?

Insertion of clarification in Section 3.3 of WP8

2 MOLG& RD Secondly, a review of the MPW&C Budget would reveal that "within the process" responsibility for maintenance of certain Hinterland feeder/secondary are shared with the MOLG and RDC's. i.e. contract awarded to Mekedeci Mining Company for a "stretch" of the Lethem Road was facilitated through the MPW&C.

Reference Material


Comments of MOA


1 MOA Page 1 of the Executive Summary 0.1.1: Economic outlook states that "in Guyana these sources are seen in the development of new high value-added crops", as relates to the growth in the non -traditional sectors. There are other non-traditional sectors that should be considered as new sources of growth in agriculture. In particular the aquaculture, beef and poultry sectors.

Statement corrected in Main Report and further described in WP 30.

2 MOA Executive Summary Pg 2, 0.1.2 Traffic Prospects states that "exports of agriculture products are unlikely to increase substantially". It should be noted that this is not the position of the Ministry of Agriculture. The non-traditional crops sector has experienced very good growth in recent years, with an average growth in exports of 12.05% in recent years. The necessary animal health systems infrastructure is currently being developed to facilitate the exports of beef and poultry and potential markets in the Caribbean region have been identified. The MOA is also proactively promoting the development of the aquaculture industry in Guyana with the view to becoming a competitive exporter of this product. Therefore it is the position of the MOA that it is incorrect to assert that "exports of agricultural products are unlikely to increase substantially.

Statement corrected in Main Report and further described in WP 30.

3 MOA Page 35, 1.4.2 Transport Investment Demand of the main body of the report speaks to Rural Transport Interventions. The issue of developing reliable farm to market access roads is vital. Not only for farmers to transport their produce to market but also for the transport of inputs and heavy machinery necessary in agriculture production to the farms. The position of the MOA is that issue is of vital importance particularly for diversification into products that do not have well established transportation links.

The TSS recognizes this as an important issue and it is a component of the Investment Programmes.

4 MOA The study does not make any mention of the potential for the construction of a deep water harbour. The establishment of a deep water harbour would greatly reduce the costs of agriculture production destined for export through the cost savings that would be achieved through economies of scale. This holds particular relevance for the traditional agriculture sectors sugar and rice.

The TSS recognizes this potential and recommends further study in the proposed Water Transport Study (see WP 23 ToR No. 2).

5 MOA While Guyana cannot influence world market prices the study does not make any mention of possible interventions that could reduce the price of fuel that can be purchased in Guyana. This is of particular concern for the fishing industry of which many operators had to suspend operations recently due to the high fuel prices.

The price of fuel is an important issues but is not directly part of the TSS.

1 GCAA Air Transport Management

Main Report: INDEPENDENT AIR TRANSPORT SAFETY AUTHORITY: which states "although the CAA takes responsibility for regulation and enforcement , there needs to be an assessment of whether the regulatory authority is sufficiently independent to monitor, check and enforce all aviation safety and security requirements". Comments: This was already done by the UKCAA when the business plan was completed resulting in the current structure of the GCAA

WP 2 states "Even so, it would be advantageous to practically enhance the role of safety” The last sentence remains valid, since a Deputy Director would have more time than a Director of the GCAA to pro-actively provide a high level of supervision of air safety matters.


Main Report: GOVERNMENT AVIATION POLICY- states " Government policy has been to gradually move towards liberalization in aviation. CAA appears reluctant to consider the policy of allowing effective competition in regional flights. Comments: GCAA works in accordance with Government policy and also recommends policy direction to the Government.

Accepted.


TA 2, POLICY, REGULATORY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK: Recommendation 1 " it is recommended that a date is set for when the above three sets of regulations will be formally in place". Comments : Some of the mentioned regulations are already in place.

Accepted; a timetable could be established for the remaining regulations.


TA 2 AIR TRANSPORT SAFETY REGULATION: Recommendation 2 " that the Government consider advantages and disadvantages of implementing an independent "Air Transport Safety Authority". Comment: No advantages/disadvantages were stated so this would require another study.

Accepted.


TA 2 AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES (ANS): Recommendation 3 states "whilst the Minister should be aware of the advantages/disadvantages of ANS being a separate organization it is difficult to see what serious advantages would be obtained. The regulatorproblem would be solved if the GCAA appoints a Deputy Director General with special responsibility for co-ordinating all safety enforcement aspects of the GCAA organization. Comments: Again no advantages/disadvantages were stated. The responsibilities envisaged for the Deputy Director General are already being affected by the Director Air Safety Regulation

The GCAA do not recognise a possibly flawed organizational structure, whereby an Head of ANS can also be an acting Director GCAA (which did occur in 2005) [and who thereby supervised safety regulation of the ANS].

The CJIAC management were always available and helpful. There remained some areas where, in the time available, it was not possible to identify about how allocations are made, e.g. who receives the overflight revenues (GCAA or CJIAC). A reason for suggesting a three year period for CJIAC to be fully corporatised is that all suhc matters could then be fully clarified.

1 WSG Roads Table 0-1- Draft Investment and Capital Maintenance: Serious consideration is being given by the IDB towards funding an Alternative Southern Entrance to Georgetown and feasibility studies are presently being conducted. This is due for submission by 10th December. The present 4-lane highway will not remove traffic bottlenecks especially at the intersection with the Demerara Harbour Bridge

This important project is envisaged to tie in with the Urban Feasibility Study within WP No. 22 Urban Transport. A provisional sum was inserted under Urban Roads

2 WSG Roads Feasibility studies for a new Demerara River Bridge is expected to commence in first quarter 2006. It is anticipated that this construction will be executed under a PPP or concessionary arrangement similar to the Berbice Bridge.

This important project is envisaged under Feasibility Study within WP No. 22 Urban Transport. PPP funding is planned.

3 WSG Roads The Berbice Bridge Project is committed under a PPP arrangement. Government's investments include the approach roads construction (IDB funding) and various studies and re-settlement issues under GOG funding.

For this important committed project PPP funding is planned.

4 WSG Roads Provision of important information on new Berbice River Bridge The important comment is noted. WP's 17,18 and 23 modified accordingly.

5 WSG CTPU Reference is made to the point on discrepancies in vehicle statistics. Wouldn't it be advisable to include GRA for TA?

TA is recommended for the BS and the CTPU

6 WSG CTPU A map highlighting the main activity centres (existing & proposed) should be included in the Final Report.

7 WSG CTPU In the report there was no mention of the relevance of a ferry service or an altenative means otransportation for the Vreed-en-hoop to Georgetown route especially during periods where the Demerara Harbour Bridge closes to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Even though there are many speed boat opreators. It is the perception of many that they do not provide a safe means of transportation as the fery would.

Comments of THD


1 THD Investigation of Transportation Accidents and Incidents: It is my view that this matter be given some attention possibly by the setting up of a National Body with experts drawn from all Modes. The operational pattern could be drawn from what exist presently in other countries, i.e. in the United States of America there is the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) which is mandated to investigate accidents (all modes) using certain standards operating procedures. This is also the case with countries in Europe. It is my view that such a body be established in Guyana and conditions and procedures be developed as to its operationalisation.

Placing for instance (Air) Inspectors in the context, and physical location (i.e. an office) with other Transport sectors makes a lot of sense. There will be many common areas, such as procedures, processes, training etc. and besides a formal exchange of information and views a co-located group of Inspectors can maintain that valuable requirement for informal contacts with colleagues. It is suggested that such a group be established to investigate accidents above a certain minimum cost/extent level.
