World Bank NRIMP-1 and
ADB Sixth Road Project
Before 2004
Paper based or standalone planning systems
Almost impossible to select projects objectively
Limited transparency
After 2004
Central database of road and bridge assets with WAN access to
all Regions (and recently extended to Districts)
Planning Applications for Road and Bridge Maintenance
Programming
Increased management focus on network preservation
Online GIS provides external and internal stakeholder access
Institutionalization Never Stops
After more than 10 years many
improvements continue to made
Value of the systems only now
being truly realized

How to identify needs
Where to start?
at the end .. because.
designing a system with 20/20 hindsight
is a great way to do it!

Identifying Needs
Making asset information available
Graphical / summarized information
Information that supports decisions
Information that drives policies
Fast analysis and feedback on policies
and strategies
Making Asset
Information Available
All stakeholders need to have a visual
appreciation of the road network
GIS Online Applications are the most
effective and powerful way to communicate
to internal and external audiences

Identifying Needs
Needs grow as systems mature and
technology changes
At the startup phase of system
development focus must be on
organizational arrangements to support
applications
