Project Administration Manual Purpose and Process 1. The project administration manual (PAM) describes the essential administrative and management requirements to implement the project on time, within budget, and in accordance with Government and Asian Development Bank (ADB) policies and procedures. The PAM should include references to all available templates and instructions either through linkages to relevant URLs or directly incorporated in the PAM. 2. The Ministry of Rural Development is the wholly responsible for the implementation of ADB financed projects, as agreed jointly between the borrower and ADB, and in accordance with Government and ADB’s policies and procedures. ADB staff is responsible to support implementation including compliance by MRD of their obligations and responsibilities for project implementation in accordance with ADB’s policies and procedures. 3. At Loan Negotiations, the borrower and ADB shall agree to the PAM and ensure consistency with the Loan agreement. Such agreement shall be reflected in the minutes of the Loan Negotiations. In the event of any discrepancy or contradiction between the PAM and the Loan Agreement, the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall prevail. 4. After ADB Board approval of the project's report and recommendations of the President (RRP), changes in implementation arrangements are subject to agreement and approval pursuant to relevant Government and ADB administrative procedures (including the Project Administration Instructions) and upon such approval, they will be subsequently incorporated in the PAM.

I. PROJ JECT DESC CRIPTION 1. The T project will w rehabilita ate about 72 29 kilometerrs (km) of rrural roads in nine provvinces (Banteayy Meanchey y, Battamba ang, Kampo ong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong S Speu, Kampong g Thom, Purrsat, Siem Reap, R and Taakeo) to pavved condition n. The rehabbilitated road ds will provide poor p rural prrovinces with a safer, coost-effective e rural road network with h all-year acccess to marke ets and oth her social services. The T project will also ssupport a ssustainable road maintenaance regime e in the Minnistry of Rural Develop pment (MRD D), a commu unity-based road safety prrogram, HIV//AIDS and human h traffic cking aware eness and prrevention prrogram (HHT TPP), and clim mate change adaptation measures. The feasib bility study o of the propoosed projectt was completeed through the Rural Ro oads Improv vement Proje ect1, and a pproject prep paratory techhnical 2 assistancce. 2. mpact and Outcome. The Im T impact of the proje ect is improvved access to markets, jobs, and social services in nine proje ect province es. This imp pact is consiistent with the sector re esults framework of the Cambodia C Transport T Seector Assesssment, Stra ategy, and Roadmap.3 The outcome of the project is a saffe, climate-rresilient, andd cost effecctive rural ro oad networkk that provides all-year ac ccess in thee agricultural areas of tthe nine pro oject provinces. These nine provinces s are popula ated by a large proportio on of Cambo odia’s rural p poor. 3. Outputs. O The ect: (i) rural road improvvements; (ii) rural ere are five key outputs in this proje road ass set managemment; (iii) rurral road safe ety and com mmunity awa areness proggram; (iv) prroject managemment supporrt; and (v) co onnectivity im mprovementts for Mekon ng River Islan nds. 4. Rural R Roads s Improvem ments. The first f output iss improveme ent of aboutt 729 km off rural roads to climate res d condition. Out of the twelve civill works contracts under this silient paved output, one o will be a pilot perfo ormance-bas sed contractt over a 5.55-year durattion.4 This ooutput also inclu udes green planting p and d design and implementa ation supervvision consullting servicess. 5. Rural R Road Asset Man nagement. The T second output of th he project w will improve rural road ass set managem ment in a suustainable manner m throu ugh a strong g capacity-b building proggram. This prog gram will co ontinue the interventionss initiated in n Loan 2670 0,5 including g the overloa ading preventioon program for f rural roads to efficien ntly manage e the road asssets.6 This output continues its focus on improvem ment the ove erall constru uction indust ry for rural rroad maintennance as inittiated during Loan L 2670,, including capacity developmen d t of provin ncial deparrtments of rural developm ment (PDRD D) who impleement road maintenance m e works and d capacity buuilding trainiing of local ma aintenance contractors. Further, the output will also introduce ccapacity building approach hes for gradual reduction of force acccount by P PDRDs throu ugh lessons learned from m the ongoing similar intervention in the Ministry y of Public Works and Transport.7 The outpu ut will provide hands h on capacity buildding PDRD staff in the e implementtation of performance-b based 1 ADB. 20 010.

The third output will increase the awaren ness and appplication of road r safety and safegua ards by (i) ffurther expannding the pilot community--based road d safety awareness pro ogram initiatted in Loan n 2670, inclu uding education program forf schools, drivers, roa ad users, annd the comm munity that a also incorpoorates road safeety provision ns in road design; d (ii) further f stren ngthening the capacity o of the socia al and environmment office in MRD established e in 2012; (iiii) impleme enting an H HHTPP and d (iv) conductinng a sex disaggregated baseline socioeconomicc survey of p project bene eficiaries.8 7. Project P Mana agement Suupport. The e fourth outpput is to stre engthen the capacity of MRD to provide efficient project management sup pport for proj ect implemeentation. Thee project will also promote substantial positive emp ployment an nd gender im mpacts in thee rural commmunities undder all outputs. The Genderr Action Plan n (GAP) will incorporate e all the labo or and gende er mainstrea aming in all 5 project outp puts. Throug gh lessons learned from m ongoing Loan 2670, the projecct will strengtheen MRD’s focus f more on all outp puts equally as the ten ndency has been some ewhat inclined towards t road d improveme ent activities s. This will b e achieved tthrough incrreased MRD D staff resourcees in social, gender, g and safeguards areas. 8. Connectivity C y Improvem ments for Me ekong Rive er Islands. T The fifth output has two o sub- outputs: (i) to rehabilitate roads and jetties within a 5-i sland clusteer in the Meekong River (Koh Mitt, Koh h Pir, Koh Samrong, S Ko oh Soutin, annd Koh Thm mei) in orderr to improve e climate ressilient access and a connecctivity. The civil works contract fo or rehabilitaating roads and jetties also includes provisions for small-sc cale levees and water management interventions to minimize flooding; and (ii) too develop a climate change c adaaptation fram mework and d its assocciated investmeents of mino or activities of multisecttor nature ( agriculture, renewable energy, tou urism, water supply, etc.) th hat will be deesigned and implemente ed during the e proposed project, incluude a community-based em mergency management m system.

The T MRD and PMU have e implementted road pro ojects financced by ADB,, and the PM MU is staffed with w experien nced accoun ntants. Sincee the accou nting staff in n the PMU iis experiencced in financial manageme ent practice es for proje ects funded d by ADB, the financial manage ement arrangemment for prroject implementation is generallyy considered d acceptable. Nonethe eless, financial management risks are high in som me areas pa rticularly in internal con ntrol and fina ancial managem ment capacity/ training need n for stafff. Implemen ntation of miitigation mea asures desccribed in the GR RARMP will reduce the risk r to low. B. Disburseme D nt 14. The T Loan prroceeds, inc cluding ADB B administe ered co-finan ncier funds (grant from m the Governmment of Austtralia, and NDF N grant), will be disb bursed in accordance w with ADB’s Loan Disburse ement Handbbook (2012,, as amende ed from timee to time),111 and detaile ed arrangem ments agreed upon u betweeen the Gove ernment and ADB.
