Introduction to MISP Objectives

MISP Components

The Component 2

The SLAP 2.0 System

The Value of MISP for Municipalities

3

MISP Core Value for Serbian Municipalities:

“Access to Expertise for Infrastructure Project

Development and Financing”

4

Key Stakeholders of MISP:

Ministries and National

Agencies

European Commission

IFIs and Banks

Municipalities and RDAs

MISP Timeframe(with underlying EC Funding Programme for

Infrastructure Investment)

• Time frame: two years starting from January 2008

• From January 2008 – January 2010 (EC CARDS Programme)

• After January 2010 (EC IPA Programme)

5

MISP Three Main Components

1) Policy Dialogue and PUC Transformation

2) Programming and Project Preparation

3) Project Implementation

6

(2) Programming and Project Preparation

Review of policies on municipal investment planning, procurement and budgeting

Prioritise and prepare suitable municipal projects for (IPA) funding (SLAP)

Feasibility studies of prioritised municipal infrastructure projects and updated Design and Tender Documents.

Introduction to the new SLAP 2.0 Infrastructure Projects

Information System

Different Signification for Different Users:Government Ministries: System for Local Authority investment PipelineMunicipalities: Short List of Assisted ProjectsDecision Makers: Strategic List for the Approval of Projects‘

’SLAP’’ in Serbian language means cascade and here the symbol for a continuous stream of project toward higher maturity for investment

9

Three Kinds of Municipal Infrastructure

Economic Environmental Social

10

Economic Infrastructureoffering services of general economic interest

clearly lacking and crucial to economic growth Transport Energy Communication Shared Business Services (Business

Estates, Incubators, etc.) Research, Technology and Innovation Higher Education Tourism

11

Environmental Infrastructurenecessary for efficient environmental municipal

services and to ensure long term environmental sustainability

Air quality (including District Heating) Water supply Wastewater Solid waste Noise

12

Social Infrastructurenecessary for the fair equitable redistribution of the fruits

of economic success among all segments of the community especially the more vulnerable like the older, disabled, diseased or less able.

Affordable housing Health care Sport, culture, and heritage protection Childcare centers Vocational schools Residential care facilities (elderies,

disabled, etc.)13

SLAP 2.0 Core Values• Quality: Accurate project data supplied by

interested municipalities and validated by experts

• Flexibility: Web enabled data entry and multiple “user- adapted” reporting

• Transparency: Objective scoring based on published quantitative scoring protocols

• Value adding: for project planning, programming and decision making for financing

14

SLAP 2.0 Key Actors Project owners: Municipal parties inputting their

project data in the SLAP data base to win access to expertise and finance for implementation.

SLAP manager: (SCTM) Orchestrator of the SLAP database and operator of its functions to ensure continuing high value addition to users.

SLAP users: Stakeholders of municipal infrastructure projects using SLAP to advance them toward successful implementation.

Key Functions of SLAP 2.0 Project Data Entry: Web enabled project data entry

by a project owner Projects Scoring: Methodology, set of criteria,

indicators and routines applied to rank projects Projects Evaluation: Methodology, set of criteria,

indicators and routines applied to evaluate project pipeline(s)

Projects Reports: User defined project profile report format for project validation, presentation, ranking and evaluation by various stakeholders

18

Project Data Entry Web-enabled: Data entry through web-link out of

project owner office

Project Profile Version: Report representing a project development status at a given point of time

Project Profile Certification: Printed project profile version signed and stamped by project owner

Projects Profile Validation: Official acceptance of a certified project profile version as precondition for ranking for support by decision makers

19

Project Reports Project Profile for Validation: Report that

comprises i) standard project data form and ii) a scoring summary

Project Profile for Reporting: “User defined” project reports created by the SLAP manager; (formats to include EU project fiche, logframe , project data sheets required by various funding agencies and ministries, etc.) to document and disseminate project profiles

20

Other Reports

Projects Scoring Reports: Project reports presenting the scores of different projects to decision makers and stakeholders.

Project Pipeline(s) Evaluation Reports: Project pipeline evaluation report presenting the status of groups of projects from the perspective of a sectoral project pipeline.

21

Three Levels of Project ScoringScoring for Eligibility into Sectoral

Project Pipeline

Scoring for Project Preparation Support (finance for feasibility study)

Scoring for Project Financing for Implementation (finance for construction)

22

Scoring for Project Preparation Support Based on a limited scoring protocol Specific to each MISP sector Geared to:

1. Prioritize promising projects that need support for full fledged feasibility study

2. Stimulate the commitment of government agencies, donors, EU programme, IFIs and banks that may sponsor part of the investment process

25

Scoring for Project Financing for Implementation

Based on full scoring protocol

Specific to each MISP sector

Geared to mobilize government agencies, financiers, EU Programme, banks, IFIs, donors that can

1. decide on projects to be implemented and

2. help secure the financing gap for project investment and implementation.
