Technical Team Report

Summary points from last Board Meeting (May 26 th ) General improvement in management noted Acknowledged more rapid development of new activities, but spend is still too low. Further acceleration is required – Approved new and more streamlined activity review process Acknowledged better and more open working relationship between Technical Team and IndII – More frequent TT meetings /communications Too focussed on national level activities, more required at the sub-national level.

Review of Progress Strong progress reflected in 2 ways: 1.Rapid development of new activities Sharp increase in TT approved budgets and actual spend ‘Progressive engagement’ – focus now on small scoping activities leading to larger, better designed programs for next work-plan period 2.Development and enhancement of institutional relationships

Activity Development Sharp increase in TT and AusAID commitments since April As of end January – TT commitments: $A 18.2 million – AusAID approvals: $ A 15.0 million Average monthly expenditure: – Feb to Aug 2009: $142,300 – Sept 2009 to Jan 2010: $835,700

Activity Development...cont’d Spending low on a burn rate basis Rapid growth in recent months Opportunities for large increases in spending in coming work-plan periods – ‘Progressive engagement’

Activity Development...cont’d ‘Progressive engagement’ – IndII has pursued many small scoping (stage 1) activities using external experts. Use of more specialised skills/expertise allows better designed/planned follow-on activities Allows more opportunities for counterpart input, ensures program is demand driven Management flexibility. Stage 1 ‘stop/go’ point – Lays the foundation for larger activities Table 2: A$ 3 mill in current stage 1 activities potentially leads to $A million in follow on activities

Institutional Relationships Most notable is DGHS (Cipta Karya) – Key partner in 20 PDAM, WSI (Hibah, PAMSIMAS, Banjarmasin sewerage, Wastewater masterplans), Umbullan Springs, amongst others Also strong relationship developing with DGH (Bina Marga) – New activities in MTEF & Performance Budgeting, Procurement, Audit – Commitment to develop Road safety unit with IndII’s assistance

Institutional Relationships..cont’d Relationship with DGPT continues to strengthen – IndII Project manager embedded – New requests to assist with Telcom law New programs assisting weaker agencies – Rail and port national masterplans – Key facilitation role played by the TT – New programs to assist weak local governments (Papua, W.Papua, NTT, NTB)
