Executive Summary
As per Terms of Reference the primary objectives of the Project Management Consultant (PMC) are 1) to provide project management services to PMU and 2) build capacity within the Government of Aceh (GoA) for the Project Management Unit (PMU) to operate effectively in terms of selection, evaluation and supervision of sub-projects. In respect of providing management services to PMU and as detailed in the various chapters of this report, PMC works hand in hand with PMU/Bappeda staff and involves the latter in all activities of EDFF that are the responsibility of PMU. The provision of these services does also act as hands-on capacity building of PMU/Bappeda staff. In addition formal trainings have also been done and are planned in line with the PMU capacity building plan.
According to the Contract for Consultancy Services PMC should prepare the inception report in two stages. The 1st one should be submitted after one month of the start of PMC and the 2nd one after another month. This was not accomplished because the GoA/Bappeda and the World Bank (WB) requested the Consultant to concentrate on the (still ongoing) selection process first. Hence only one inception report is prepared and it is this one.
