From Roadmap toImplementation Blueprint

Strategic thrusts of Roadmap 2007-2011 remainrelevant (MTR)

Focus on implementation, thus the need for an IB for2012-2016

IB concept, guiding principles, and criteria endorsed bySOM in Koh Samui in January 2011

The IB concept:

Operationalizes the APM of the MTR of the Roadmap

Has two stagesInclusion in the IB 2012-2016

Inclusion in the two-year Rolling Pipeline

(1st RP: 2012-2013)3

Guiding Principles

Connectivity (both hardware and software) should be the

overarching objective of the IB The 12 flagship programs shall anchor the other areas of

cooperation in the IB. To the extent possible, linkagesacross sectors should be defined to create greatersynergies.

There should be a balance in the mix of projects thatpromote economic and social objectives.

Projects in the IB should be subregional projects (i.e.,involving at least two countries); or national projects

with subregional implications, or that can benefit fromsubregional synergies.

The IB should serve to catalyze investments from theprivate sector, including from small and mediumenterprises.


6/15

Guidelines for Project Inclusion (1)

Projects to be included in the IB will be guided by aset of criteria at two levels --- the IB project pipelineand the two-year rolling plan:

For the IB, the following requirements must be

met: a well-prepared project concept/profile, indicating

the objectives, scope, intended outputs andoutcomes in relation to a program or sector-widestrategy;

estimated cost

identified sources of financing

identification of responsible implementingagenc(ies)


7/15

Guidelines for Project Inclusion (2)

For the IB Rolling Pipeline, the followingadditional requirements must be met:

A operational plan indicating the activities to be

implemented on a yearly basis until the projectcompletion year

Secured financing from domestic or externalsources

A results monitoring framework

For infrastructure projects, a pre-feasibility studyis required

Guide questions in reviewingprojects to be carried over to the IB

Project rationale:

Is the project responding to a development gap? Willa subregional response (as distinguished from a

national response) bring about greater synergy andimpact on the IMT-GT ?

Is the project part of a well-defined sector strategy?

Does the project have a well-sequenced andcoherent set of activities to realize its goals?

For investment projects, is there a pre-f/s or f/s?


10/15

Guide questions in reviewingprojects to be carried over to the IB (2)

Project implementation

What is the project duration (the number of years needed to

complete the project). Can the project be broken down into activities to be

implemented on a yearly basis

Can the WG identify the persons responsible for each

activity?


11/15

Guide questions in reviewingprojects to be carried over to the IB (3)

Financing

What is the estimated cost (or budget) of the project?

What are the expected source(s) of financing?

When can financing be secured?

Monitoring and evaluation

What are the concrete outputs of the project?

What measures will be used to indicate goalachievement? (outcomes)

Who will be responsible for compiling these indicatorsat the project level?


12/15

Factors to Consider in Selection of Projects

The relevance and impact of the projects on thesector strategies should be a key consideration.

The Action Plan Matrix has been rationalized/prioritized (MTR Special Consultation Meeting and

PSPM). The WG should start with the high priorityand selected medium priority projects identified.

If some elements in the sector strategy are not beingaddressed, the WG may wish to consider new

projects to address these gaps or missing links,although the development of new projects can beconsidered at a later stage (e.g. 2012)

Progress in Identification of Initial List ofCandidate Projects for the IB

Review and rationalisation of the Action Plan Matrix(APM) at the Post Summit Planning Meeting (PSPM) inJanuary 2011.

Review of the identification of initial list of candidate

projects for IB by the Working Groups convened afterPSPM: Progress: additional 4 profiles (totalling to 15

profiles) submitted by WGTI and process ofreviewing the profiles by the WGTI

Pending: no submission of project profiles by ITWGand WGHAPAS

WG Meetings on Agriculture, HRD and Tourismrecently scheduled


14/15

Timeframe for IB Formulation

WG members to submit draft project profiles and

operational plan (for RP candidate projects) to CIMTby mid-October for circulation to all WG members forreview;

National Consultations by the countries to be

organized by the NS in Nov 2011 : 14 (THA), 16(MAL), and 17 (INO)

Regional IB Workshop (24 Nov 2011, ADB, Manila)

18th SOM/MM in Medan, Indonesia (Dec 2011)

Endorsement of the draft IB by SOM and launchingby Ministers

6th IMT-GT Summit (April/May 2012) Endorsementof the IB and its implementation by IMT Leaders
