APPENDIX 8: REACTION TO THE COMMENTS FROM MINECOFIN
1) Ensure the link between the different outcomes/development objectives and the seven
strategic areas: for instance we have 6DO-R while there are 7 strategic areas, are there
some areas that are not concerned by the Transport Sector?
ANSWER 1: YES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE WORLD BANK AND THE
EUROPEAN UNION ACCORDING TO WHICH THE COMPONENT OF INCREASING THE VOLUME OF
INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THE SAME PRIORITY AS THE COMPONENT OF
MAINTENANCE. NEITHER WAS THE COMPONENT OF ACCESSIBILITY PUT FORWARD. BUT
COSTING WAS.
An attempt to bring together (a simple analysis, to confirm if yes or not it is correct) DO-
R and the MININFRA strategic objectives may provide orientation on adjustments and
complements):
- DO1-R1 –Ensure legal and regulatory institutional framework
- DO2-R2 –Can it be made closer to: “increase the volume of infrastructure and/or
increase accessibility”?
ANSWER 2: (THIS OUTPUT WHICH IS RELATED TO THE FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE STRATEGY –COMPONENT 1 – COULD BE RENUMBERED AS DO1-R1B); BECAUSE IT IS
LINKED TO CAPACITY BUILDING. BUT THE DISTORTION IN THE NUMBERING APPEARS LATER
WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS NEW ASPECT FOLLOWING THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE
WORLD BANK. COMPONENT 2 RELATING TO INCREASING THE VOLUME HAS DISAPPEARED.
- DO3-R3-Increase the volume of infrastructure and/or Ensure the sustainability of
infrastructure?
ANSWER 3 : THIS OUTPUT CONCERNS MAINTENANCE (COMPONENT 6). THERE IS A PROBLEM
OF A DISCREPANCY IN NUMBERING (FOLLOWING ANSWER 2), WHICH WE PREFER TO KEEP AS
SUCH.
- DO4-R4-Ensure quality services?
ANSWER 4 : THIS OUTPUT CONCERNS SECURITY (COMPONENT 7). THERE IS A PROBLEM OF A
DISCREPANCY IN NUMBERING (FOLLOWING ANSWER 2), WHICH WE PREFER TO KEEP AS SUCH
- DO5-R5-Reduce and control the cost …OK
- DO6-R6-in relation with cross-cutting issues… OK
2) DO6-R6: is not well formulated and does not clearly reflect the contribution of the
transport sector to HIV/AIDS prevention, environment protection and gender equality.
ANSWER 5: THERE HAS BEEN A REFORMULATION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE
INDICATOR.
3) For R11: OVI « 4 analytical systems established within MININFRA” is not clear. Which
sort of system is it?
ANSWER 6 : THERE HAS BEEN A REFORMULATION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE
INDICATOR BY SPECIFYING THE AREAS OF CONCERN FOR THE WORLD BANK WHICH IS THE
INITIATOR OF THE REFORMULATION OF THIS OUTPUT, NOTABLY POLICY FORMULATION ;
STATISTICS ANALYSIS ; PLANNING AND M&E.
4) For R12, which, apparently, concerns only studies, some OVI related to it go beyond the
studies and cover the period after EDPRS; aren’t they integrated in the third PRSP
generation? (Example: extension of the railroad from Isaka to Kigali built and operational
from the year 2014, Akagera river made navigable by 2015, etc).
ANSWER 7: THERE HAS BEEN A REFORMULATION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE
INDICATOR BY SPECIFYING THAT THIS IS PREPARATORY WORK; “PREPARATORY WORK IN
