Full-time
Position
PRIM is a A$25 million
results-based pilot program to incentivize better road maintenance in Nusa
Tenggara Barat (NTB) Province and ultimately encourage Indonesia to adopt
performance-based funding mechanisms.
The main objectives of PRIM are to:
• Strengthen the
institutional capacities and standards for better maintenance of the existing
road network within the provincial and local government, and
• Develop a
sustainable model for using conditional grants to incentivize better
governance, quality and value-for-money in maintaining local roads.
Performance is rewarded by 40%
grant disbursements upon verification by an independent technical team (TT) led
by Bina Marga (Directorate General Highways). A further 10% incentive grant is
given in return for a demonstrable strengthening of governance and public
engagement.
Given the nature of the fiscal decentralization model, where
local governments have little incentive structure to improve essential
infrastructure services, the output-based grant model in PRIM has shown that
provincial road maintenance can be improved on a cost-effective basis (compared
to other maintenance funding mechanisms); that road agencies can be taught and
encouraged to adopt improved procedures for assessing needs, prioritising
treatments, preparing evidence-based budgets and getting them approved;
preparing designs that address maintenance needs, and accepting external
scrutiny of performance.
AECOM has been engaged as the
Project Implementation Unit Consultant (PIUC) since 2015, providing support to
the implementing parties including support in preparing engineering designs and
bid documents, while carrying out training and institutional strengthening
activities and providing institutional support to the maintenance works program
