B. PROJECT CONTEXT

Summarize the rationale for Bank assistance. State:

- what development challenge the project addresses; - the Borrower's overall strategy for addressing it; - Bank activities in this country (ies) and sector over the past year and how they performed; and - ongoing Bank and other externally financed activities that complement, overlap with or relate to this project.

Please cite relevant sources. Comment on the strength and coherence of the rationale. 300 words maximum. Any additional narrative about the project's origins and history, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative

This project was designed within the overall context of the Transport Sector Programme 2 (PST 2) and particularly focused on the main objective of PST 2 in the road sub-sector, namely to improve the level of service of the road network and support production and service activities in order to revive economic growth. Indeed, it will help to significantly reduce vehicle operating costs (12% on paved roads and 22.5% on earth roads) and improve access by many inhabitants in the Project Area (PA) to basic social services such as schools, health centres, maternity hospitals and administrative services.

To overcome numerous impediments to economic development, the country adopted a strategy to create favourable conditions for reviving sustainable growth which should translate into significant improvement in the living conditions of the population, particularly those living below the poverty line. This vulnerable population accounts for 53.90% of the country's total population most of whom live in rural areas. The transport sector strategy implemented since 1999 by the Government with the support of donors seeks to reduce the gap in living standards by maintaining, rehabilitating and developing transport networks in agricultural production areas, as well as introducing targeted institutional reforms to ensure more efficient management of the sector using an integrated approach. The strategy aims to prioritize investments using economic and financial criteria, and takes into account infrastructure to open up production areas and rural transport, sub-regional integration and greater involvement of private operators in infrastructure financing and management.

C. PROJECT OBJECTIVE AND LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

1. State the Project Development Objective(s) (as set out in the Appraisal Report)

The sector goal of the project, which is part of PST 2, is to contribute to improving the overall operation of the transport system. Its specific objective is to improve the level of service of the roads concerned, reduce transport costs on these roads, and provide better access to basic social services.

2. Describe the major project components and indicate how each will contribute to achieving the Project Development Objectives.

The Project components are:

A. ROAD WORKS comprising: (i) periodic maintenance of 116 km of paved roads located in Kaolack and Kolda Regions; (ii) periodic maintenance of 338 km of earth roads in Diourbel, Fatick, Kaolack, Kolda, Saint Louis and Thiès Regions linking the agricultural and market gardening production areas; (iii) reinforcement of 28 km of paved road in Oussouye Division; (iv) rehabilitation of the Emile Badiane Bridge in Ziguinchor; and (v) road works control and supervision by consulting firms to be selected on the basis of shortlists. These works will help to improve the level of service of the roads concerned, reduce transport costs on these roads and provide better access to basic social services.

B. INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT concerning: (i) training of the staff of the Ministry of Infrastructure, particularly the Public Works Department and the AATR, and (ii) sensitization of the population in the project area on road safety, environmental protection and HIV/AIDS. This component will contribute to building the capacity of the Administration.

C. PROJECT MANAGEMENT comprising financial auditing to be conducted by an independent consulting firm to be selected on the basis of a shortlist. This component helps to enhance visibility on the use of project resources.

3. Provide a brief assessment (up to two sentences) of the project objectives along the following three dimensions. Insert a working score, using the scoring scale provided in Appendix 1.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES DIMENSIONS ASSESSMENT WORKING

SCORE

RELEVANT (a) Relevant to the country's

development priorities.

The project objective, which is to contribute to improving the overall operation of the transport system, is consistent with the objectives outlined in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). Indeed, an efficient system reduced transport costs and improves conditions of access to socio-economic infrastructure.

4

ACHIEVABLE

(b) Objectives could, in principle, be achieved with the project inputs and in the expected timeframe.

Infrastructure was built in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices following design changes. However, the execution of some lots was delayed due to the slow contract award process, the late start-up of works or the need to prepare a technical file before the start-up of works owing to BD inadequacies. The project to construct the Emile Badiane Bridge was revised.

3

CONSISTENT

(c) Consistent with the Bank's country or regional strategy.

The project is consistent with the Bank's objectives because it helps to enhance the transport system, develop trade and improve the living conditions of the population. Similarly, it helped to build the capacity of 20 senior staff of the Implementing Agency as well as 70 workers from various institutions involved in road management (CETUD, DTT, APIX, ADM, etc.).

4

(d) Consistent with the Bank's corporate priorities.

The project is consistent with transport and regional integration infrastructure development objectives through both country and regional network interconnection.

4

4. Lay out the logical framework. If a logical framework does not exist, complete the table below, indicating the overall project development objective, the major components of the project, the major activities of each component and their expected outputs and outcomes, and indicators for measuring the achievement of outcomes. Add more rows for components, activities, outputs or outcomes, if needed.

Comment: Given the way the original project matrix was designed, there was a need to reformulate the logical framework in the form of the table below which includes elements of the Appraisal Report restructured by component to improve their consistency and facilitate their use.

2. Additional outcomes: Comment on the project's additional outcomes not captured in the logical framework, including cross-cutting issues (e.g. gender).

The use of local expertise was essential in project implementation. Consulting firms, control missions and key staff of contractors make up the local experts. The contractors employed local manpower in the localities linked up by road sections during the execution of works, thereby helping to reduce poverty in the areas through which the project road passes.

Concerning gender issues, campaigns carried out by contractors to sensitize the population on sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS particularly targeted women and school children. Some contractors supported immunization campaigns and the distribution of insecticide-treated bednets. The rehabilitation of two (2) schools in Kavil and Keur Socé will improve the primary school enrolment rate in Kaolack Department. Project impacts on commercial activities in the PA, including the development of weekly markets and retail trade, mainly affect women who are particularly involved in

Page 10: Road Maintenance Project (PER) - Project Completion Report ...

income-generating activities, such as truck farming and petty trade. Many youths, grouped in afforestation and bush fire control committees, participated in the implementation of environmental management plans through tree planting.

3. Risks to sustained achievement of outcomes. State the factors that affect, or could affect, the long-run or sustained achievement of project outcomes. Indicate if any new activity or institutional change is recommended to help sustain outcomes. The analysis should draw upon the sensitivity analysis in Annex 3, where appropriate.

Project sustainability depends on the quality of works carried out, the availability of adequate resources, as well as the rational programming and proper execution of maintenance works. In Senegal, the AATR is preparing a Three-year Rolling Programme (PTG) whose objective is to propose part of the classified (paved and unpaved) road network that will be the object of priority works for three (3) years based on the results of road network inspection, traffic data, and economic evaluation. Funds allocated for (periodic and routine) road maintenance increased from CFAF 3 billion before 1989 to CFAF 6 billion between 1989 and 1998, CFAF 9 billion in 1999, CFAF 13 billion in 2000, CFAF 15 billion between 2001 and 2006, CFAF 18 billion in 2007, and finally to CFAF 19.5 billion in 2008. Though all the funds earmarked between 1989 and 2008 were fully mobilized, only CFAF 9.6 billion out of the CFAF 19.5 billion provided in 2008 was obtained, representing a 49% mobilization rate. Since these budget allocations do not cover road maintenance needs, an Autonomous Road Maintenance Fund (FERA) was established in 2007. The Fund has a legal status and financial autonomy. Its resources are derived from a parafiscal tax and road user charges, as well as a budgetary allocation. When FERA became operational in 2009, the budgetary allocation was CFAF 37 billion, of which CFAF 32 billion was mobilized. In 2010, CFAF 45 billion was earmarked, including a budgetary allocation of CFAF 22.5 billion.

E. PROJECT DESIGN AND READINESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 1. State the extent to which the Bank and the Borrower ensured the project was commensurate with the Borrower’s

capacity to implement by designing the project appropriately and by putting in place the necessary implementation arrangements.

Consider all major design aspects, such as the extent to which project design took into account lessons learned from previous PCRs in the sector or the country (please cite key PCRs); whether the project was informed by robust analytical work (please cite key documents); how well Bank and Borrower assessed the capacity of the implementing agencies and/or Project Implementation Unit; scope of consultations and partnerships; economic rationale of the project; and provisions made for technical assistance.

[250 words maximum. Any additional narrative about implementation should be included in Annex 6: Project Narrative]

The Bank and the Borrower ascertained the Borrower's capacity and proper project design and implementation as follows:

The conditions precedent to first disbursement of ADF loan resources fulfilled on 25 September 2006 were: (i) provide evidence of appointing, at the AATR, a project officer to coordinate the Project, whose qualifications and experience will be subject to prior approval by the Fund; (ii) provide the Fund with evidence of appointing officers to fill vacant positions at the AATR to ensure smooth operation of the entity, namely: Head of the Studies Division, two project officers, a technical assistant, an accountant and a computer specialist; and (iii) submit to the Fund a copy of the Order organizing the Public Works Department (DTP), the current Highways Department. The Project Executing Agency, namely AGEROUTE (former AATR), is thus well organized and has qualified staff. The communication and coordination problems noted during project start-up were corrected by placing the Coordinator and Station Managers under the Department of Road Network Maintenance Management (DGER), established after the restructuring of the AATR.

The project was re-designed, particularly regarding paved roads. In fact, due to a significant time lag between the end of engineering studies carried out in 2002 and then updated in 2005 by a cursory inspection which served as basis for issuing bidding documents (BDs) and the effective start-up of works in December 2007, the road way deteriorated further. The BDs provided for periodic road maintenance whose technical rationale hinged on the existence of more or less good road way systems; however, the existing road way distortions, numerous potholes, and washouts limited the size of the road way and made it almost impossible to apply basic solutions to the paved roads.

2. For each dimension of project design and readiness for implementation, provide a brief assessment (up to two sentences). Insert a working score, using the scoring scale provided in Appendix 1.

modernizing of the road network, as well as opening up of the southern part of the country, which is isolated and whose socio-economic activities need to be revived.

RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION

(b) Project design includes adequate risk analysis.

Risks concerning establishment of a second-generation road maintenance fund were identified during project design. Environmental risks were also considered during the implementation of environmental and social management plans (ESMP) and quality assurance plans of contractors.

3

USE OF COUNTRY SYSTEMS

(c) Project procurement, financial management, monitoring and/or other systems are based on those already in use by government and/or other partners.

The procurement procedures used for road works, as well as consultancy services, are those of the Bank. However, the Central Directorate of Public Procurement (DCMP) played a key role in the procurement process by approving files prior to transmission to the Bank. The financial management and monitoring systems were based on the efficient systems of the Implementing Agency.

CLARITY (d) Responsibilities for project implementation were clearly defined.

Concerning the Bank, the frequent change of project officers jeopardized continuous analysis and capitalization, though procurement files were processed within reasonable time limits. Regarding project coordination, the communication and coordination problems noted at project start-up were corrected by placing Station Managers under the restructured AATR which now has a Department of Road Network Maintenance Management (DGER).

2.5 3

PROCUREMENT READINESS

(e) Necessary implementation documents (e.g. specifications, design, procurement documents) were ready at appraisal

The Project benefitted from Bank standard documents for the procurement of goods, works and services. Unfortunately, the available versions of working designs and BDs were somewhat outdated, resulting in the relaunching of competitive bidding due to the use of an inappropriate version of DTAO and failure to publish the ICB in the UNDB.

They were implemented by works control and supervision missions, Bank supervision and completion missions, as well as Project and PST 2 financial audit missions. Control mission and weekly work site meeting reports were regularly prepared. In AGEROUTE, the DGER, which has a road data bank, also helps to provide a monitoring plan.

BASELINE DATA

(g) Baseline data were available or were collected during project design

Exact baseline data were not available. In fact, very long timeframes between project preparation, the compilation of technical files and start-up of works rendered part of the quantitative data

obsolete, resulting in the modification of work consistency. Traffic audits were carried out in 2007, and others are envisaged in 2010. The collection and processing of data will make it possible to observe their impacts and use them as new indicators.

F. IMPLEMENTATION

1. State the major characteristics of project implementation with reference to: adherence to schedules, quality of construction or other work, performance of consultants, effectiveness of Bank supervision, and effectiveness of Borrower oversight. Assess how well the Bank and the Borrower ensured compliance with safeguards.

[300 words maximum. [Any additional narrative about implementation should be included in Annex 6: Project

Narrative.]

The road maintenance and rehabilitation works were carried out in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices. However, the project administrative and financial management encountered delays in the payment of State counterpart contributions and difficulties in refunding VAT and customs duties deducted by contractors' suppliers, resulting in delays in the execution of some lots. The periods between bid submission by contractors and notifications by the Executing Agency for the start-up of works were relatively long. Concerning the rehabilitation of the Kaolack-Nioro, Kaolack-Passy and Kavil-Keur Madiabel road sections in Kaolack Region, a final design was not submitted to the contractors together with BDs; they had to prepare, before the start-up of works, a final design whose approval took time between the control mission and the Executing Agency. The intensity of the rainy season in Ziguinchor Region in 2009 led to the suspension of works on the Oussouye - Elinkine - Djiromaït road. There were also delays in the implementation of Lot 1 (paved roads) in Kaolack and Fatick Regions because of the rainy season. The completion of project components scheduled for end-December 2009 had to be postponed to end-June 2010 to allow for the completion of works under good conditions by end-March 2010 at the latest. To date, all the lots, except Lot 1 (paved roads) in Kaolack Region where sign-posting and the construction of two (2) schools in Kavil Keur Madiabel financed entirely by the State are still to be completed, have been (provisionally or finally) received.

Although supervision missions were, on the whole, beneficial despite a skeleton staff (Task Manager, Principal Transport Engineer and Infrastructure Expert), it should be noted that the succession of four (4) project officers at the Bank penalized the diligent processing of files relating to requests for design change and a genuine capitalization in action. However, requests for no-objection opinion and disbursement were processed within reasonable time frames.

2. Comment on the role of other partners (e.g. donors, NGOs, contractors, etc.). Assess the effectiveness of co-financing arrangements and of donor coordination, if applicable.

Concerning aid coordination, it should be noted that the Bank is one of the key donors operating in the transport sector and one of the major donors of the Transport Sector Programme 2 (PST 2), which includes the PER. The other donors are the World Bank and the European Union, in particular. This helped the PST 2 to produce very satisfactory results and ensure coherence and complementarity of Bank operations in Senegal. In this connection, the European Union will, under the next EDF, finance the Passy - Sokone road section, which is an extension of the Kaolack - Passy section financed by the Bank. JICA/JBIC, with which the Bank is co-financing road sector projects, is examining the Ndoffane - Keur Ayib road rehabilitation project that it was requested to finance. For its part, MCA is planning, within three (3) years, to construct bridges [the Kolda and Ndioum Bridges on the Dabo - Diaobé and Podor - Guédé roads under Lot 1 (earth roads) in St. Louis Region] and rehabilitate roads [(Ziguinchor - Vélingara, excluding Dabo - Diaobé) under Lot 2 (paved roads)] in the project impact area.

3. Harmonization. State whether the Bank made explicit efforts to harmonize instruments, systems and/or approaches with other partners

On the whole, harmonization was satisfactory during the implementation of the Transport Sector Project 2 (PST 2). It should be noted that as the project is managed by the PST (PST 2) Coordination Unit, joint missions were regularly organized with the participation of the World Bank, lead donor, the European Union, the West African Development Bank (WADB), Norwegian funds, the Bank, etc. Thus, with the PER, the Bank took over the financing of road projects still remaining under the components financed by the European Union (earth roads) and the World Bank (paved roads) after funding the Diamniadio - Mbour road, still under PST 2. At present, the European Union, JICA/JBIC and MCA will continue the maintenance of roads financed under the PER, highlighting the harmonization and complementarity of donor operations in the road sector. This was crucial in the establishment and operationalization of FERA and, today, in the control of axle load on the road network.

Lastly, as part of the preparation of PST 3, the Government submitted a draft Transport Policy Letter to the Bank in March 2009 for its opinion. A joint donor (EU, World Bank and ADB) response to the letter was sent to the Government in early April 2009 in which they made remarks for consideration in its final version, which is still being awaited.

4. For each dimension of project implementation, assess the extent to which the project achieved the following objectives. Provide a brief assessment (up to two sentences) and insert a working score, using the scoring scale provided in Appendix 1.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION DIMENSIONS ASSESSMENT WORKING

6 months

BANK PERFORMANCE

(b) Bank complied with:

Environmental Safeguards

The environmental and social impacts generated by road works were assessed during project final design studies. Mitigation measures were recommended to reduce certain nuisances (dust, safety hazards, etc.) in implementing environmental and social management plans prepared by contractors and providing consultancy services relating to the sensitization of the population in the project area.

3

Fiduciary Requirements

ADF loan resources were mobilized regularly, based on the progress of project activities. In total, 139 payment requests were processed by the Bank. Delays in processing requests at project completion were due to the revision of the list of goods and services requested by the Government to cover amounts pending payment.

3

Project Covenants Overall, the Bank honoured all its commitments as stipulated in the Loan Agreement.

3

Bank provided quality supervision in the form of skills mix and practicality of solutions

Despite frequent changes of Task Managers, the monitoring of project implementation by the Bank through regular supervision missions was relatively satisfactory. Although the missions comprised few experts, they had an overall positive impact on the implementation of activities.

2.5

Bank provided quality management oversight

The 2008 audit report concluded that financial statements were reliable and made no major remarks on the reliability of accounts. The 2009 audit will be conducted in May 2010. However, to avoid waiting for the end of the project to conduct all the audits, it is recommended that the project should first conduct the 2009 audit and then an additional audit at the end of the project.

3

BORROWER PERFORMANCE

(c) Borrower complied with:

Environmental Safeguards

Mitigation measures were identified during the preparation of BDs. During the project implementation phase, many environmental actions (particularly tree planting and borrow pit restoration) were carried out. The Borrower should play a more active role.

3

Fiduciary Requirements

The project administrative and financial management encountered delays in the payment of State counterpart contributions and difficulties in reimbursing VAT and customs duties deducted

by contractors' suppliers, resulting in delays in the execution of some lots. The global financial crisis impacted on the timely payment of counterpart contributions. However, overall, the State honoured its commitments.

Project Covenants

The Borrower honoured almost all commitments as set out in the Loan Agreement, thus fulfilling effectiveness and first disbursement conditions. With the conduct of traffic audit campaigns in 2007 and 2010 and the operationalization of the Autonomous Road Maintenance Fund (FERA), almost all the other conditions have been fulfilled.

3

Borrower was responsive to Bank supervision findings and recommendations.

The Borrower has always attached importance to the recommendations made by supervision missions by ensuring their implementation.

3

Borrower collected and used monitoring information for decision making.

The monitoring of various procurements and contracts helped to progressively remove bottlenecks, and cancel some project components.

Briefly describe the PCR process. Describe the Borrower’s and co-financiers’ involvement in producing the document. Highlight any major differences of opinion concerning the assessments made in this PCR. Describe the team composition and confirm whether a site visit was undertaken. Mention any major collaboration from other development partners. State the extent of field office involvement in producing the report. Indicate whether comments from Peer Reviewers were received on time (Provide names and positions of Peer Reviewer). [150 words maximum]

The completion mission included a Civil Engineer, an Infrastructure Specialist from SNFO, a Disbursement Expert from SNFO and a Consultant, Transport Economist. These profiles are consistent with most project activities. The AGEROUTE team gave full assistance to the Project Coordinator regarding clerical work and the field mission. The field visit and discussions held with the local authorities, beneficiaries, contractors, consultants and technical and financial partners on the ground helped to better understand realities and outputs. The discussions highlighted the strong interest in the project because of the rehabilitation of paved and earth roads, as well as the need to look for other road materials owing to the increasing scarcity of lateritic materials, and to find solutions to earth roads in the villages crossed. The PCR is therefore the outcome of participatory work involving all beneficiaries. It takes into account lessons drawn from the frank discussions held with various stakeholders, particularly local actors and the population concerned.

H. LESSONS LEARNED

Summarize key lessons for the Bank and the Borrower suggested by the project’s outcomes.

[300 words maximum. Any additional narrative about lessons learned, if needed, must be placed in Annex 6: Project Narrative]

From the implementation of the project, a number of lessons can be learned in terms of design, implementation and monitoring, in particular:

Ensure proper conduct of studies, particularly the final design so as to guarantee quality of project at entry. The Committee set up by AGEROUTE General Manager to validate studies and projects, in conjunction with CEREEQ, could significantly improve the quality of studies.

Ensure compliance with timelines between submission of bids by contractors and notification for the start-up of works in order to avoid updating design studies and revising base prices before or at start-up of works.

Ensure, during bid evaluation, that contractors have adequate equipment for proper work execution within the specified timeframes and that the staff indicated in bids is available.

Take into account the rainy season, particularly in regions with heavy rainfall, for better work programming.

Ensure that the construction of earth roads is followed by programming of routine maintenance works, including surface reshaping to ensure the sustainability of investments.

Ensure the increased involvement of the population in the implementation of environmental management plans (creation of afforestation sites, planting of trees, bush fire control, plan control, and restoration of quarries) which should be the subject of protocols with forestry authorities; and in the mounting of rain gates on earth roads and the establishment of management committees to ensure sustainability of these facilities.

Ensure that the “environment and sensitization” component is implemented in three phases: before, during and after the execution of works to ensure greater project impact.

Obtain, prior to the start-up of works, better knowledge of the baseline situation in project impact areas (including data on traffic on the roads to be improved and information on economic, social and administrative infrastructure) to facilitate assessment of project impacts.

Make an inventory of all accident black spots existing on the road sections improved so as to implement the necessary corrective measures to ensure greater user safety.

Annex 6 Project Description – Determining Factors

Key factors that were not included in the general scoring scale affected project design and implementation. These positive and negative factors could include climate and weather conditions, political changes, contractual or personal issues, technical issues, procurement process and interactions with other partners. If any of these factors is sufficiently significant to affect evaluation scores, it should be indicated in the scale and referenced in this Annex.

The project faced difficulties without which it should have been completed within the set deadline and some of the design changes could have been avoided. The main difficulties include:

Problems of procedure: The re-issuance of all calls for bids, whereas the Bank had given its "no-objection" opinion on the BDs and RFPs. In fact, initially, the Executing Agency had issued calls for bids which were opened on 18 December 2006. Unfortunately, because the calls were not published in international newspapers and the UNDB and the statutory period between the date of issuance of calls for bids and the date of opening of bids was not respected, the Bank could not follow up the rest of the procedure. Finally, the bid call procedure was cancelled and the Bank ordered the re-issuance of calls during the project launching mission in October 2006.

The calls for bids were issued again in May 2007, leading to a nearly 12 month slippage on project implementation. This partly explains the difficulties faced in completing the project in December 2009.

Slowdown in execution of works due to bad weather: The 2009 rainy season started very early, lasted for a long time and was very wet in Kaolack and Ziguinchor Regions, like in other countries in the sub-region (particularly Burkina Faso and Senegal) which suffered a lot from floods, triggering a chain of international solidarity in which the Bank participated, and the Contingency Plan in Senegal. This situation resulted in a systematic work stoppage for almost three and a half months (from 15 June to 31 September 2009). Given that the situation was beyond the control of contractors, the Executing Agency was obliged to take it into account and consider the possibility of extending the deadline for contractors working in the two regions.

Concerning Emile Badiane Bridge, two competitive bid calls were unsuccessful as the project's consistency had been changed (reconstruction instead of rehabilitation) and the State had decided to entirely finance it. This led to a delay in the start-up of works.

Changes in project design: The project was re-designed regarding Lots 1 and 2 (paved roads). In fact, due to a significant time lag between the end of engineering studies carried out in 2002 and then updated in 2005 by a cursory inspection which served as basis for issuing bidding documents (BDs) and the effective start-up of works in December 2007, the road areas further deteriorated. The BDs provided for periodic road maintenance, whose technical rationale hinged on the existence of more or less good pavement systems. However, existing pavement distortions, numerous potholes and washouts limiting the pavement size made it almost impossible to apply basic solutions to paved roads. Given this situation and also the level of fatigue of road ways most of which had reached the end of the expected economic life of a flexible sinuous cement-stabilized pavement road (more than 20 years of operation), AATR ordered the conduct of complementary studies. To this end, the Experimental Equipment Research and Study Centre (CEREEQ) which is a soil analysis laboratory, was requested to examine the geotechnical structure of the road area and make recommendations, in conjunction with control offices. The surveys carried out by CEREEQ confirmed a very advanced state of road area degradation (particularly deflections obtained using the Benkelman Beam were high (50 to 64), thus excluding, de facto, the application of basic solutions.

In addition to these design changes with respect to the spirit of periodic road maintenance as provided for in the contract, there are high additional costs caused by the omission of the quantities and unit prices of steel and formworks in the original contract.

Annex 7

Economic Analysis (ERR) and Financial Analysis

Recalculate the economic rate of return based on costs and benefits at completion and compare them with estimates made at appraisal. Break it down by component, where necessary. Analyze ERR sensitivity to key assumptions. Present a financial analysis of entities benefiting from the project.

At project appraisal, benefits accruing from the estimated economic viability of the 338 km of earth roads and the 116 km of paved roads were based on: (i) impacts on transport, and (ii) improved incomes of the population in the PA due to an increase in economic activities in the agricultural, fishery and handicraft sectors. Traffic was expected to increase significantly. Regarding transport benefits, the project is expected to bring about a 12% decrease in vehicle operating costs on paved roads and 22.5% on earth roads, as well as a reduction in road maintenance cost by about 20%.

The weighted average traffic by distance in 2003, considered as the base year, was estimated at 1 602 vehicles/day on paved roads and 104 vehicles/day on earth roads. Light-duty vehicles accounted for 86% of total traffic as against 14% for heavy vehicles. Traffic forecasts calculated on the basis of historical growth rates using traffic audits and origin-destination surveys carried out for feasibility study purposes were 3% for paved roads and 3.5% for earth roads. The estimation of these two rates was based on forecasts regarding the tapping of the economic potential of the PA.

The project was also expected to have a significant social impact on: (i) income-generating opportunities, particularly for women who account for 51% of the workforce, through improved access to production areas and trade (market gardening areas in the river valley, weekly markets in Thiès, Kaolack and Kolda Departments fishing pier in Elinkine rural community, etc.); (ii) access to health services with skilled personnel (health centres and hospitals) and which are inaccessible to the rural populations due to bad roads; and (iii) reduction in transport costs, particularly in areas with inadequate infrastructure and few vehicles (including intermediate means of transport in rural areas).

The sensitization of the population on health issues (HIV/AIDS and malaria), environmental protection and road safety is a key project component. The project was expected to contribute to: (i) improving travel safety by reducing traffic accidents estimated at 1 035 in the PA in 2003, by 10%, and (ii) enhancing knowledge of methods of control and protection against malaria and HIV/AIDS by the population along the project roads and groups at risk (truck drivers, apprentices, etc.). The project was expected to contribute to reducing the prevalence of these diseases, among the population aged 15 to 49 years considered as sexually active, estimated at 1.4% in 2001.

The project was also expected to help reduce poverty, one of the main causes of which is chronic unemployment among youths. The execution of works was expected to be an opportunity to employ the local workforce and distribute incomes locally, as well as to set up small income-generating activities (restaurants for workers and site employees, fruit trade, etc.). At completion of works, it is expected that site facilities, chosen in agreement with local authorities, will serve as social infrastructure for the benefit of the population (particularly schools and health centres).

The economic rate of return (ERR) calculated using the HDM-IV model was 32% for paved roads and 22% for earth roads. All sections had positive updated values and ERRs of more than 12% which are the criteria used to assess the profitability of PST 2 projects. Sensitivity analysis showed that the project remained profitable even under unfavourable assumptions. In fact, a 10% increase in investment cost resulted in a 30% drop in ERR for paved roads and 19% for earth roads, and a 10% decrease in benefits led to a 20 % drop in ERR for paved roads and 19% for earth roads.

At project completion, project impacts and effects are significant, to the satisfaction of the population and local authorities. Discussions with the population and administrative authorities revealed that access to social and administrative infrastructure has improved and that there are undisputed economic impacts in the PIA (reduction in transport costs and increase in incomes, particularly of producer groups, traders, shopkeepers, hotel operators and caterers). The free movement of people and goods between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau in the Kolda border area has improved.

Opening up of regions: Localities are now accessible throughout the year, thus improving the evacuation of agricultural produce, as well as trade in local produce, manufactured goods, staples and building materials (cement and iron); the localities that have been linked up by road are: Guédé in Saint-Louis Region; Baba Garage, Dinguiraye, Keur Samba Kane and Khombole in Thiès Region; Salikéniè, Linkéring, Saré Ndigel, Sinthian Diara, Djiérédji and Medina Yoro Foula in Kolda Region; Mlomp, Djiromaït and Elinkine in Ziguinchor Region. Two SAED warehouses on the Podor - Guédé road, the Dinguiraye Community and Microcredit Centre, the Elinkine fishing pier, a 120-room hotel in Djoromaït (which is being rehabilitated following the commissioning of the road) and weekly markets (Guédé, Baba Garage, Dinguiray, etc.) are now also accessible all year round. The rehabilitation of the Bogo - Diaobé road section and National Road No. 6 has contributed to developing trade on the Diaobo international border market where people from Senegal, Guinea Conakry and Guinea-Bissau meet to buy and sell agricultural products, local produce, fruits and livestock. Irrigation: The construction of water drainage works (culverts and box drains) on the Podor – Guédé earth road in the Senegal River Valley contributes to improving the distribution of water resources in farmlands developed for rice farming and market gardening.

Travel conditions: Travel time between Podor and Guédé (24.6 km) has been reduced by 20 minutes, between Baba Garage and Dinguiraye (40 km) by about 50 minutes, between Kolda and Salékenie (30 km) on the border with Guinea-Bissau by about one hour, on the paved road sections of Kavil - Keur Madiabel (25 km) and Oussouye - Mlomp - Elinkine (21 km) by 30 minutes, and on the Dabo - Diaobé road (30 km) by about 40 minutes. Though, generally, road improvements have not led to reduction in public transport fares administered by the State, transport costs, which are often negotiated, have dropped from 700 to 200 francs on the Oussouye - Mlomp road section, the rehabilitation of which has also contributed to improving safety in Oussouye Department. However, the closure of National Road No. 6 to trucks and public passenger transport vehicles between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. for safety reasons has reduced the economic impact of the rehabilitation of the Dabo - Diaobé road section in Kolda Region. The poor state of the Kolda - Salékenie road extension into Guinea-Bissau reduces the profitability of the road section regarding trade between Senegal and its neighbour most of whose imports and exports transit through the Dakar Port.

Access to basic infrastructure: Access to basic infrastructure (schools, health posts and centres, etc.) has improved. Communication between administrative officials (especially teachers and health workers), the possibility of building school infrastructure (there are plans to build a college in Dinguiraye) and the organization of immunization campaigns by health posts established in areas that have been linked up by roads have now been facilitated.

Local job opportunities: Many jobs were created during the execution of major works: up to 250 people were recruited during the rehabilitation of roads in Kaolack Region. Contractors supported borehole management committees in villages along the project road sections, including the Kaolack - Kavil - Keur Madiabel and the Mékhé - Baba Garage - Dinguiray sections. They also financed and supported forestry services, within the framework of environmental management plan protocols, in planting trees along road sections and training the population in tree protection and maintenance; 4 440 eucalyptus and cashew trees were planted along the Bogo - Diaoubé road. The contractor that carried out the maintenance of the Mékhé - Baba Garage road took part in the HIV/AIDS and STD screening campaign and the free distribution of insecticide-treated bednets organized by health posts established along the road.

The project internal rate of return (IRR) calculated using the HDM-IV model at completion was 14.7% for paved roads and 39.4% for earth roads. A sensitivity analysis based on a 10% increase in investment costs reduced the internal rate of return (IRR) to 13.4% for paved roads and 31.8% for earth roads.

The rates of return calculated for paved roads are lower than those calculated at project appraisal while those for earth roads are slightly higher than those calculated at project appraisal. These rates are presented in the table below. The reduction in the rate of return of the paved road network is certainly due to changes in the consistency of works from periodic maintenance, which generally results in high rates of return based on relatively low costs, to rehabilitation.

Though the paved road network has lower profitability rates compared to those of earth roads, the economic benefits to transport users are, in contrast, higher; in fact, the benefits regarding vehicle operating costs stand at CFAF 21.6 billion for the paved road network, for a 116 km-long road, as against CFAF 17.8 billion for the earth road network which is 338 km long. In contrast, the net present values are CFAF 11.6 billion for the earth road network and CFAF 3.6 billion for the paved road network, thus indicating the importance of earth roads to the local economy, over and above unquantifiable benefits like improved access to basic socio-economic infrastructure in rural areas.
