  • Terms of Reference for Consultants
    Railway Master Plan (KSTA SRI 51108-001) TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANTS I. Introduction and Background 1. Background. The Government of Sri Lanka requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on February 2017 to support the preparation of a master plan for Sri Lanka’s railway sector development under a technical assistance (TA) grant. In response, ADB is processing a knowledge and support TA (with policy advice as nature of activity) for $1.5 million, for preparing the Railway Master Plan to be provided in Colombo. These terms of reference describe the services to be provided by the Consultants under the TA. Consultant recruitment is carried out as advance procurement action prior to approval of the TA. The consulting contract will be signed after effectiveness of the TA. 2. Country context. Sri Lanka has been successful in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth. Gross domestic product growth averaged 6% per year over the past decade. The incidence of poverty has declined, and the country has achieved most of the Millennium Development Goals. With Sri Lanka on the path to becoming an upper middle-income country, the main challenges to consolidate and advance this status are to (i) promote rapid, inclusive, and sustainable growth to reduce poverty and inequality; (ii) shift from a development model driven by debt-financed public spending to greater reliance on private investment, foreign direct investment, and exports; (iii) develop export capacity for future growth as the limited size of the domestic market (and demand) is a constraint; and (iv) diversify production and increase productivity across sectors to expand exports, participate in global value chains, and create productive jobs.

  • Economic and Financial Analysis
    Railway Efficiency Improvement Project (RRP SRI 49111-005) ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS A. Introduction 1. Economic rationale. Sri Lanka experienced a strong post-war recovery period with an average annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of 8.5% during 2009–2012. Growth moderated to 4.1% during 2013–2018, and GDP per capita reached $4,065 in 2017, putting Sri Lanka on the path to upper-middle income status. However, inadequate transport infrastructure and services delivery hinder the development of industry and services, which account for 91.8% of GDP, and prevent Sri Lanka from leveraging its geographical position to increase its competitiveness and promote inclusive economic growth. At its peak, the railway network carried more than 35% of passenger and 80% of freight traffic. Continuous underinvestment, weak operating and financial performance, and increasing motorization rates reduced the market share to 6% of passenger traffic in suburban Colombo and 1% of freight traffic in 2017. By 2020, the government aims to increase the passenger market share to 10% and freight to 5% of demand.1 2. Railway network. In 2017, Sri Lanka’s railway network consisted of 1,568 kilometers (km) of broad-gauge tracks, 91% of which is single track, connecting 343 stations across the country.2 Sri Lanka Railways (SLR) faces several challenges, including (i) operational inefficiencies, with low average speeds, frequent delays, insufficient frequencies, and trains running over capacity in peak hours; (ii) insufficient maintenance capacity and a large maintenance backlog; (iii) a poor safety record, including high encroachment and frequent accidents at level crossings; and (iv) an inadequately trained workforce with low productivity and limited knowledge of new technologies.3 3.
