Economic and Financial Data iii LOAN AND PROJECT SUMMARY Borrower Bangladesh Classification Targeting classification: General Intervention Sector: Transport and communication Subsectors: Ports, waterways, and shipping; and roads and highways Theme: Sustainable economic growth Subthemes: Fostering physical infrastructure development; and addressing information and communication technology issues Environment Category B Assessment An initial environmental examination was undertaken and a summary is provided in Appendix 5. Project Description The proposed Project comprises three main components; Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) component, Customs House of Chittagong (CHC) component and Roads and Highways Department (RHD) component. The CPA component comprises installation of a computerized container terminal management system (CTMS), measures to improve port area water quality, and improvements to the intra-port roads and bridges. The CHC component comprises activation of ASYCUDA++ (an automated system for customs data management) with connections to the CTMS, and installation of container scanners needed to meet new security initiatives. The RHD component is construction of an access-controlled link (connector road) from Chittagong port access road to the two container terminals at the port of Chittagong. Rationale Unless immediate measures are taken to lower the country’s shipping and port costs, which are twice as high as those in some neighboring country ports, the trade competitiveness of Bangladesh will rapidly diminish. A fundamental source of high costs at the port of Chittagong is container yard congestion, due partly to paper-based terminal management and document processing, and limited road access. Additionally, the customs clearance process requires documents to be manually moved through several stages requiring 48 endorsements, thereby lowering port capacity and encouraging corruption. Accidental spillages of oil and wastewater containing oil from ships occur frequently in the port area. Management of such incidents according to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) requires an immediate investment in spill cleanup equipment and an oil-waste treatment facility. Likewise, the port needs to meet national and iv international security standards, which require the installation of container scanners. Objective The Project will increase the capacity of the container terminal at the port of Chittagong and enable international port security and environmental standards to be met. In the medium term, the Project will lead to lower shipping and port charges, which will foster more international trade. Cost Estimates The total cost of the Project is estimated at $41.3 million equivalent. This figure includes value-added tax, cost of consulting services, physical and price contingencies on all base costs, capitalized interest, and commitment fees charged by Asian Development Bank (ADB) during implementation. Financing Plan Foreign Local Source/ Total Percent of Exchange Currency Component Cost Project Cost ($ million) ($ million) ADB 30.6 0.0 30.6 74.1 Government CPA Component 0.0 2.7 2.7 6.5 CHC Component 0.0 0.6 0.6 1.5 RHD Component 0.0 7.4 7.4 17.9 Total 30.6 10.7 41.3 100.0 ADB - Asian Development Bank; CHC - Customs House of Chittagong; CPA - Chittagong Port Authority; RHD – Roads and Highways Department Note: CHC and RHD components will be financed through government budgetary allocations. CPA component will be financed out of its own funds. Source: ADB estimates. Loan Amount and A loan of 30,600,000 from ADB’s ordinary capital resources will Terms be provided under ADB’s LIBOR-based lending facility. The loan will have a 25-year term, including a grace period of 5 years, an interest rate determined in accordance with ADB’s London interbank offered rate (LIBOR)-based lending facility, a commitment charge of 0.75% per annum, and such other terms and conditions set forth in the draft Loan Agreement. Accordingly, ADB will finance all foreign exchange costs, amounting to 74.1% of the total project cost. The Government will finance all local currency costs, which amount to 25.9% of the total project cost. ADB loan proceeds will be made available by the Government to RHD and CHC through budgetary allocations. Amounts allocated to CPA will be subject to repayment to the Government under a subsidiary loan agreement with terms and conditions acceptable to ADB. Period of Utilization 1 July 2005 to 1 January 2009 Estimated Project 1 July 2008 Completion Date v Executing Agency CPA, CHC, and RHD will serve as the executing agencies (EAs) for the respective components of the Project. Implementation Each EA will establish a project implementation unit to administer Arrangements the component under its jurisdiction. A project coordination committee chaired by the chairperson, CPA, comprising commissioner, CHC and additional chief engineer, RHD, will serve as a channel of communication among the three EAs. The committee will meet every 3 months, or more often if necessary, to review progress and resolve outstanding issues pertaining to the Project. Procurement All procurement to be financed under the ADB loan will be carried out in accordance with ADB’s Guidelines for Procurement. Contracts valued in excess of $500,000 for goods and $2.0 million for civil works will be procured through international competitive bidding (ICB). Procurement of civil works in the RHD component, and the supply of goods for computerization, environmental protection, and security will follow ICB procedures

According to a media research carried out by nonprofit EnGIO, the coverage of Sundarban by the mainstream media in Bangladesh, India and across the world is dominated by issues related to the Royal Bengal Tiger (16%) and impact of storm events such as cyclones (21%). In comparison there has been much less media focus on critical issues related to climate change vulnerability and climate adaptation vis-à-vis human development in the area. Moreover there has also been hardly any media effort to highlight the importance of undertaking collaborative transboundary action to ensure survival of Sundarban. Most importantly the survival of about 13 million people in and around Sundarban also rarely comes under media scanner at a benchmark to the likes ofBISRCI Phillipines, Maldives, or Caribbean islands though the potential impact, especially in terms of population vulnerability, is many times greater in Sundarban.

    Bangladesh Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan “Rupsha Bridge Construction Project” External Evaluator: Nobuyuki Kobayashi, OPMAC Corporation 0. Summary The project has been relevant to the development plans of Bangladesh and has been meaningful in terms of the country’s development needs. Difficult construction works required longer time than the plan due to the treatment of soft soil were but changes in the technical specifications and construction methods limited the delay to a short period only. In tandem with the reduction of cargo handling at Mongla port, traffic demand grew less than it had been forecasted. For this reason, the traffic volume at the time of the ex-post evaluation remained at almost 50% of the forecast. Serious damage which could negatively affect the incidence of the project effect was not observed in the site survey. However, in long run, the tight maintenance budget of the executing agency and insufficient experience in the supervision of the maintenance works for long bridges are issues for sustainability. In light of the above, this project is evaluated to be partially satisfactory. 1. Project Description Project Location The Rupsha Bridge 1.1 Background Bangladesh is located in a delta region facing the Bay of Bengal in South Asia and its territory is divided by many rivers. Ferry crossings on the trunk roads linking major cities prevented the smooth flow of traffic. The Bangladesh government has made efforts to construct bridges for the elimination of ferry crossings on major corridors. At the beginning of the 2000s, the Meghna Bridge and the Meghna-Gumti Bridge on the Dhaka-Chittagong Corridor and the Jamuna Bridge on the Dhaka-Northwest Corridor were completed and the Paksey Bridge on the Northwest- Khulna Corridor was under construction.

  • Regional Connectivity: Opportunities for Bangladesh to Be a Transport Hub
    Journal of Bangladesh Institute of Planners ISSN 2075-9363 Vol. 2, December 2009, pp. 13-29, Bangladesh Institute of Planners Regional Connectivity: Opportunities for Bangladesh to be a Transport Hub Dr. M. Rahmatullah * Abstract In a globalized economy, transport cost being a significant determinant of competitiveness, it makes integrated and efficient transport network an essential element of the enabling environment. The integrated transport infrastructure, which South Asia inherited from the British, got fractured initially by the partition of India, and subsequently by its political aftermath and now needs to be rebuilt within the context of greater political harmony in South Asia. Such integration is especially crucial to countries such as Nepal and Bhutan and the regions such as North East India, as this could serve to end their landlocked or semi-isolated status and provide shorter transport and transit access to sea ports. To establish a case for regional transport connectivity in South Asia, an analysis was made of the impact of non- cooperation in transport. An assessment was also made of the unique geographical location of Bangladesh having two landlocked countries, such as Nepal and Bhutan and one semi- landlocked territory, North East India at the hinterland, and the opportunities this situation provides to Bangladesh. Based on SAARC Regional Multimodal Transport Study (SRMTS) findings, an attempt was made to identify a few strategic routes which could be pursued to provide transport connectivities among the countries of North East Sub-region of South Asia. An indication is made in this paper on the possible benefits that Bangladesh and the other neighboring countries could derive from the regional transport connectivities when established, to show that it would be a win-win situation for all.

  • The Sundarbans: a Riparian Commons in Search of Management
    THE SUNDARBANS: A RIPARIAN COMMONS IN SEARCH OF MANAGEMENT Introduction: The Framework The "tragedy of the commons" has come to symbolize the problems between the survival of nature and the extractive tendencies of humans interacting with nature in order to ensure subsistence as well as profit. The use of the very term ' natural resources' to signify nature as is the wont of development institutions and bureaucracies worldwide is tantamount to subordinating it to human use and modification. The term "tragedy of the commons” connotes the destruction of grazing resources on the commons on account of a local societal failure to control individual maximizing tendencies. What is often not well understood is that when a tragedy of the commons type situation is averted with cooperation on profit maximizing activities by groups of resource users, it often poses a real threat to the survival of the nature itself. Often this term is also used both historically and contemporaneously to clamp down on individual and or social/community based systems of resource use and extraction, by the intermediary role of the state. However, the typical use of monetary controls to regulate extraction by the state leads both to subterfuge by the users who are no longer responsible, as well as widespread rent seeking behaviour by officials, both of which defy any regulatory attempts by the state. At the outset it must be understood that while the existence of common property systems with regard to the Sundarbans is referred to in passing in historical sources, there are traditions and folk religious elements that provide subtle hints about the evolution of a belief system that would have necessarily impacted upon patterns of resource use.
