Single project pipeline- tool for concentrated economic development -

Pristina 25/03/2015

Why Single Project Pipeline

To avoid ad hoc approach to planning preparation and implementation of infrastructure projects

To meet the necessity for strong project prioritization (developed set of criteria reflecting EU and national strategy and policy goals focusing on economic development)

To enable systematic and timely planning of resources To provide reliable basis for defining proper sequencing of

the actions To help linking investments planning and program budgeting

2

Adopted by the Government (as an annex to the document National Priorities for international assistance to the Republic of Serbia for the period 2014 to 2017 with the projections up to 2020) Basis for the Single Project Pipeline. Covers energy, transport, environment and business related infrastructure. Based on two basic pillars:

• Strategic relevance of the project

• Project readiness/maturity for implementation

3

Methodology development process

Comprehensive consultative process involving all relevant stakeholders (line ministries, public utility companies and public and civil society organizations etc.)

Supportive approach by and active participation of the Delegation of the European union in Serbia and the European Commission (DG NEAR)

Consultations with the International Financial Institutions and bilateral donors

Sector Working Groups (SWGs) coordinated by Serbian European Integration Office (SEIO) as a main mechanism for consultations

4

1. 1. Collect existing infrastructure project ideas/proposals

2. Identify broad list of projects by completion of Project Identification Forms

3. Strategic Relevance Assessment (filtering step)

4. Short list of strategically relevant projects

5. Gap Assessment Analysis of strategically relevant projects

6. Final list of prioritized projects (to be included in ISDACON)

Project identification form (PIF)

Strategic Relevance Assessment criteria (based on PIF)

Gap Assessment Questionnaire /Gap Assessment Report

Scoring of transport sector projects

Two phases:1.Scoring (which is not final) based on Strategic relevance criteria:•Consistency with EU, national, transport policies/strategies•Demand/supply and origin/destination factors•Relation with other transport corridor/routes•Traffic safety and security of transport•Economy systems and sectors affected by the project

6

Scoring of transport sector projects

2. Final scoring based on GAP report; projects divided into 4 groups according to their degree of maturity:

Group 1 – Ready for tendering and investment realization:• Group 1a – projects with technical documentation prepared, ready

for tender preparation or tendering • Group 1b – projects with preparation of technical documentation

ongoing, and ready for tendering when it is finished Group 2 - Ready for preparation of technical documentation:• Group 2a – projects with spatial planning documentation completed

with preconditions for land acquisition in place • Group 2b – projects with gaps in spatial planning documentation with

preconditions for land acquisition still pending

Project Passport

Project Passports are prepared for all the projects from the single project pipelines on the basis of the inputs from the Gap Assessment Reports.

Project Passport is an overview of all the steps which should be done in the course of project preparation and implementation, projects’ tentative costs and the responsible institution.

Project passport ensures that all the steps are considered in a realistic time perspective.

National Investment Committee

Provides political support to operationalisation of the single project pipeline

Its recommendations and actions are based on the Single Project Pipeline.

Represents key platform for the discussion on critical issues and steps related to the specific projects from the single project pipeline.

Enables synergy between various sources of financing (budget, loans, and grant funds) with the aim to achieve substantial leverage effect.

Key considerations ahead:

Single project pipelines are updated annually

Joint Assistance to Member States and Candidate countries provided by European Commission/EIB/EBRD (JASPERS) and Project preparation facility (PPF) assistance is essential for quality project preparation and mirroring/practicing EU-ESI funds principles

Synergy between EU funds (IPA national, IPA regional-Western Balkans Investment Framework), International Financial Institutions and budget resources coordinated by NIPAC

Promotion of PPP as a modality of financing of infrastructure projects

Proper reflection of the Single project pipeline methodology in the Budget System Law
