Results Framework Analysis Project Development Objectives (from Project Appraisal Document) The objective of the project was to provide more efficient and productive inland waterway transport (IWT) services which would be more competitive than the current services. This would be achieved through reduction of unit cost and transit time by (a) upgrading inland waterways infrastructure to allow navigation of larger vessels, (b) increasing shiplock capacity to reduce waiting time, and (c) increasing financial and organizational capacity of IWT agencies. The key indicators for monitoring and evaluating performance were (a) reduction in cost (per ton-km), (b) increase in average vessel size (dwt), (c) shiplock waiting time ii (hours/vessel), and (d) financial ratios that included working ratio, self-financing ratio and debt-service coverage ratio. Revised Project Development Objectives (as approved by original approving authority) The development objective remained unchanged throughout the implementation of the Project.
