.. :r .. - 1 l INTRODUCTION
On 7 September the Irrigation Department of Myanmar (formerly Burma) requested Euroconsult to prepare a training and visit programme for 6 (later increased to 8) senior engineers of the Department:
3 mechanical engineers - S irrigation engineers
In this proposal we present a tentative programme, which will be finalized as soon as the Irrigation Department has agreed (confirmation by telex is sufficient). Final arrangements can only be made with the organisations involved after this agreement has been received. Suggestions and required modifications will be taken into consideration as far as possible.
To realise the requested programme two departments from the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Public Works have been contacted: "Rijkswaterstaat" (Public Works Department) and "Landinrichtingsdienst" (Department of Land Consolidation) have been found available to assist. These departments are responsible for all the large sluices, navigation locks, dikes, major structures and waterways as well for land consolidatibn and reclamation in the Netherlands . This also includes operation, , maintenance and management. The full cooperation from these departments has been obtained.
Available time
The duration of the programme is planned to be at least seveh' weeks or-- 49 calendar days,~-.... including a travel time---· of 4 days and two days in Bangkok, so an effective time of 43 days is available . These 43 calendar days should be spent for 40 % on training and lectures (equals 17 days) and for 60 % on excursions ~(equals 26 days). Holidays consist of the normal weekends (Saturday and Sunday). During the weekends small excursions can be organised.
For technical reasons the group might be split temporarily in two, so the programme for the mechanical engineers can be focuse.d on the 2 mechanical aspects and for the irrigation engineers on the design, operation, management and maintenance aspects. The groups will follow the same programme during the visits. The adapted programme for the mechanical engineers is not yet specified in the proposed programme given here, since the detailed planning is to ·be made as soon as approval.has been obtained from the Irrigation Departm�nt.
Language -- / It is expected th�t this group of senior engineers at Project Director (PD) and Executive 'Engineer (EE) level has good knowledge of the English language; all lectures, papers and explanations will be in English.
Documents required
Each participant should have:
- a valid passport - a valid health certificate of the World-Health Organization - a valid ticket to and from the Netherlands - a valid visa for the Netherlands, which has to be obtained at the consulate of the Netherlands at Yangon - valid visas for Western Germany and Belgium should be obtained at the embassies in Yangon. If no embassy is available for Belgium this will be arranged in the Netherlands. - insurance for health and travel will be organised by Euroconsult for the training period of 49 days.
Time period
It is proposed to start the programme later than the requested 1 January, since Christmas ho�idays in the Netherlands end around 8 January and the reduced air fares are available from 16 January. The period proposed is therefore from 19 January till 9 March 1990.
Accommodation
In principle hotel accommodation will be provided. It is proposed that two persons share a room to reduce the cost. It might be possible to - . � . -- - 3 ~ - -
make cheaper arrangements , but these have to be inspected first and can only be reserved well before the programme starts. On the other hand the group will shift several times to other locations, and hotels are then most convenient.
Reservations
To enable us to make all necessary reservations the appro~al should be given at least two months in advance.
Financial aspects
For this programme the World Bank has made available to the Irrigation Department an amount of US$ 100 000, which equals Dfl 220 000 (Dutch Guilders). To realize the proposed programme the amount of ) Dfl 220 000 should be guaranteed by the Irrigation Department, independent of the fluctuations of the US dollar.
Restrictions
The proposed programme is made for the total time available and the total amount is sufficient for a group of seven engin~ers. This is also the most convenient nwnber, as a group of seven engineers will fit . in a microbus together with driver and guiding staff. With eight engineers additional cars would be required.
