Prospects for a sustainable and climate-resilient African economy post-COVID-19

This study assesses the potential for establishing a sustainable and climate-resilient African economy, post-COVID-19, focusing on Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe. Utilising the United Nation's Climate-Positive Action Framework, document analysis, and a systematic literature review, it examines these nations' investment in climate action. Findings reveal a decrease in climate funding during the pandemic, with notable gaps in climate finance, including reallocations away from climate-related ministries and delays in project implementation. This decline in climate action poses risks to sustainability and climate resilience. To mitigate these risks, the study emphasizes the need for frameworks to mobilize external and domestic resources for climate action. Despite ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19, proactive measures are essential to maintain focus on climate action.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Prediction Method: Case Study

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) identify or predict any potential problems in the Environment at the planning stage of proposed development projects, and concerns are addressed as the Project progresses. It is in progress. The recommendations made by the EIA may lead to the redesign of specific project components, require additional studies, and suggest mitigation measures that will alter the socio-economic viability of the Project or cause delays in project implementation [1]. The EIA's main objective is to identify significant impacts early in the project cycle so that recommendations can be incorporated into the design and cost-benefit analysis without causing substantial delays. Increase or increase design costs [1]. The EIA will lead the appropriate environmental monitoring and management planning mechanism when implementation commences. In the case of this study, the EIA method is applied to evaluate different ecological components such as physical and chemical parameters and biological and socioeconomic parameters of the project “Construction of the office complex".

Optimasi Waktu dan Biaya dengan Metode Crashing pada Proyek Pembangunan Jalan Simp. 4 Kaliorang – Talisayan Kalimantan Timur

Delays in public investment projects

The returns from public investment, especially during periods of scaling up, are often lower than expected. To understand the mechanisms behind this regularity we exploit original information on investment projects obtained from World Bank project reports to document the extent and the drivers of time delays in project implementation. We find that almost 60 percent of investment projects are delayed by at least one year. Time overruns are common across sectors and countries. A sound planning and preparation matter for the timing of project execution. Country characteristics also play a role, as projects undertaken in countries with weaker institutions and in periods of public investment scaling up are completed with longer delays.

ANALISIS FAKTOR-FAKTOR PENYEBAB REWORK PADA PROYEK KONSTRUKSI GEDUNG DI KOTA PAYAKUMBUH

The key to project success depends on four factors, including the project running according to the contract schedule, getting profits because expenses are as planned, problems that occur in the project are small, and there are no work accidents. If the technique used is not good, it will have a negative impact on project performance and can cause losses in terms of cost, quality, and time. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that cause rework and what are the dominant factors that cause rework in the implementation of building construction projects in Payakumbuh City. The tests carried out include validity, reliability, and descriptive analysis based on mean values with the help of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) for Windows version 21.0 programme.This research identifies 10 factors that cause rework, the factor of lack of team work, the factor of wrong decision making, the factor of using tools that are not correct or not according to their function, the factor of the situation drawn with the field does not match. The factor of poor information flow from related parties, the factor of weak supervision of technical specs, the weather factor that causes delays in project implementation, the factor of incomplete contracts, the factor of acceleration due to owner requests, the factor of unexpected underground conditions. The results showed that the most dominant factor causing rework was the factor that the situation in the drawing did not match the field with a mean value of 3.90.

Analisis Pelaksanaan Pembangunan TPA Kabupaten Banyumas Akibat Kelongsoran dan Perubahan Desain Perencanaan

Project is something with constrains can affect the time or duration of the work, slope slides and building redesigns that have an impact on delays in project implementation. Delays that occur can result in the presence of less work and work items that cause work to experience delays and increase the total cost of implementing the project or it can be said that the project suffers a loss. In this case, good time and coast management needs, can be solved properly. This challenge of a project is main to achieve the goals project within the constraints which generally the scope, schedule and budget of the project. Many methods used in scheduling, for expected scheduling planning. This research to get a logical schedule by rescheduling in accordance that it is hoped no more delays. Analytic research need of data such as schedules and budgeting directly the required data to the relevant parts, evaluating the schedule, followed by a new schedules with Microsoft Excel, and finally perform cost calculations with a balanced budget system. The result of this research the rescheduling is 440 days with the total RAB after rescheduling is Rp. 41,286,988,000,-, equal to the total cost before rescheduling, because of the work added and less and carried out a balanced budget.

Optimalisasi Waktu dan Biaya dengan Metode Time Cost Trade Off Pada Proyek Konstruksi Jalan

During the implementation of project work, there are various kinds of problems that will hinder project performance, so that the project will not be completed as planned, whether it is not on time, quality, and the cost, which sometimes occurs swelling. The road widening project for Lubuk Alung - Kuraitaji Road, Padang Pariaman District experienced a delay in implementation in the 16th week with a deviation of -7.091%. For this reason, it is necessary to control project implementation using the earned value method. From the analysis, the total duration of the project is 170 days, while the contract time is 150 days. This indicates a delay in project implementation for 20 days. In order to keep the project duration in accordance with the contract duration, it is necessary to accelerate it using the Time Cost Trade Off method. Acceleration is done by comparing 2 alternatives, namely the addition of working hours (overtime) and additional work shifts. After the comparisons were made, the additional acceleration cost of overtime work hours was Rp. 1,676,510,600.23 and alternative work shifts of Rp. 307,721,835.6 for direct costs. So the alternative chosen is an alternative work shift, because it has a small incremental cost, and is more efficient than using an alternative working hour overtime, while the duration of the project completion has returned to the contract time. The additional cost that must be paid by the contractor if the acceleration is not carried out is IDR 1,013,632,840.6, it would be more appropriate if the acceleration was carried out to overcome the delays in the Lubuk Alung - Kuraitaji Road Section in Padang Pariaman Regency, with a loss of IDR 307,722,000

Time Cost Trade Off Analysis on the Trainning Center Project PT. X With Additional Working Hours

In the world of construction the most common problem is delays in project implementation. To overcome this problem, several alternatives for project acceleration are used, such as additional overtime hours, additional workforce, changes in working methods that are faster, use of materials with faster installation, and use of more productive heavy equipment. The object of this research is the PT. X. Acceleration is carried out using the time cost trade off method with the addition of overtime working hours on structural work that is on the critical path. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of increase in project costs due to overtime activity and time acceleration generated by using this method. The results of cost calculations by accelerating through additional working hours obtained the shortest project duration, namely for 112 days from the total project completion plan for 150 working days with an increase in costs of Rp. 53,967,111.00 so that the total cost becomes Rp. 8,813,167,113. Or 0.62% more expensive than the planned budget under normal conditions, namely Rp. 8,759,200,000.00. From the results of these studies, it can be concluded that the addition of overtime working hours can accelerate the project duration and increase the total project budget costs that must be spent. 62% more expensive than the planned budget under normal conditions, namely Rp. 8,759,200,000.00. From the results of these studies, it can be concluded that the addition of overtime working hours can accelerate the project duration and increase the total project budget costs that must be spent. 62% more expensive than the planned budget under normal conditions, namely Rp. 8,759,200,000.00. From the results of these studies, it can be concluded that the addition of overtime working hours can accelerate the project duration and increase the total project budget costs that must be spent.

Feasibility and Sustainability Challenges of the Süleyman’s Türbe Cultural-Tourism Centre Project in Szigetvár, Hungary

The Süleyman’s Türbe in Szigetvár (Hungary) is a historical monument with exceptional features; the aim of the study is to present the planned cultural-tourism centre investment goals, risks and externalities. Cultural and tourism specificities significantly influence the implementation of such unique, three nations concerning projects. One of the crucial conditions of the implementation is the integration into the existing cultural heritage plans and the proper management of the related uncertainties. The authors decided to handle the Türbe as an investment project; therefore, a tourism exploratory analysis, a risk analysis, and externalities identification are discussed in this paper. The project development was carried by nominal groups between June and December of 2019 using professional experts workshops, group decision and information gathering approaches. The paper is using a case-study-based investigation. The most significant risks and their mitigation strategies are the emergences of Turkish influence: Turkish–Hungarian consultation, intensive consultation with Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TCCA); problems related to expropriation: preventive communication, cultivating good relations; delay in project implementation: professional lobby, preparation of scenarios. This study aims to present the design model of this multifaceted, international-scale project. It is suggested that similar projects should be handled and considered as a whole to reach the maximum of their potential.

ANALISIS PERCEPATAN PELAKSANAAN PROYEK UNIT LAYANAN KANKER TERPADU RSUD BALI MANDARA DENGAN METODE FAST TRACK

Unit Layanan Kanker Terpadu RSUD Bali Mandara construction project has a building area of 4.272,74 m2. Projects with a contract value of Rp52.364.056.071 began work on May 6, 2019, and planned to finish on December 1, 2019. At the time of the study, the project progress report up to the 12th week showed a 3,76% delay in project implementation. This affects the project completion time and the contractor may be subject to penalty for the delay. This study’s purpose to design a schedule to get the acceleration of construction time using the fast track method and compare the results obtained by the conditions of project implementation experiencing delays. Secondary data used include time schedules, budget plans (RAB), weekly reports of supervisory consultants, analysis of contractor unit prices, and project drawings. The value of the implementation budget plan (RAP) is Rp45.917.529.226,76 calculated based on the RAB of the contractor without taxes and profits. The results of the analysis using the fast track method show that the project can be accelerated so that it can be finished according to the planned schedule by accelerating by 59 days (22,7%) from the duration of project implementation in a late condition (without acceleration). In terms of cost, project implementation in a late condition incurs more costs than the project implementation using the fast track method. The magnitude of the additional costs of implementing the project with a late condition of Rp2.656.202.803,55 or 5,468% more than the application of the fast track method. The application of the fast track method results in changes in the number of workers and material procurement needs at a time caused by the time shifts in activities implemented out in parallel.

Forming of integrated understanding of project terms: Faulk’s algorithm as one of the formalized approaches

The success of the project implementation depends not only on the highly qualified professional project team. Success also depends on a clear (integrated) understanding of all project processes by all stakeholders. Integrated understanding is based on a clear understanding of project terms and concepts. Such terms and concepts are captured in conventional project management methodologies, methods, and approaches. However, they need to be understood not only by industry experts, but also by some stakeholders. Lack of an integrated understanding of terms and concepts leads to misunderstanding of project actions and, therefore, delays in project implementation, which is determined by the time of integrated understanding formation. The necessary terminological volume for stakeholders can be determined by applying a frequency dictionary approach, which allow all terms and concepts to be ranked according to their appearance and use at different stages of the project life cycle. The purpose of the article is to present a formalized approach to implementing a consistent presentation to capture project terms and concepts by stakeholders. To this end, it is proposed to use the Faulk’s algorithm to construct an effective acquisition sequence. If there is a certain set of terms, each of which must be appropriately mastered, and between these terms there are certain dependencies (sequence of mastering), then the problem of constructing the best path to mastering can be solved by applying a Faulk’s algorithm based on a graph theory approach.

Key Success Factor of t he Timeliness o f t he Regional Housing Project i n Cibubur Indonesia

A construction project is a form of activity that takes place within a limited period of time, with certain resources to achieve the results of a certain form of building or infrastructure. The success of a project is assessed by the suitability of the schedule, cost and quality planned in the contract. In the implementation of construction projects there are often delays caused by the parties involved or from influencing factors. This study discusses material analysis, labor, and project management on the timeliness of housing projects in the Cibubur Indonesia. Delay in project implementation has an influence on planned budget changes. This research aims to find the dominant factor causing delays in housing projects in the Cibubur Indonesia. This research is a survey research which is a study that takes a sample from a population using questionnaires and interviews as a data collection tool that is distributed to respondents, where the number of respondents is 31 (thirty one) in the Cibubur area housing project. This study concludes that the dominant factors causing delays are as follows: (1) Late delivery of materials, (2) Limited number of workers, (3) Poor project land conditions, (4) Weak project management and implementation by contractors. The cause of the delay can be controlled by using anticipatory and preventive measures. The action was taken to overcome the impact due to the dominant factor that could cause the delay. This research is expected to be beneficial for contractor service business providers and project owners as the housing developer, so that the project can be anticipated and the next project can run according to the planned times.

Local government and public–private partnerships: experiencing multilevel governance issues in Indonesian water supply provision

ABSTRACTThis article examines experiences with the adoption and implementation of two Indonesian water supply public–private partnerships (PPPs). It focuses on how various tiers of governments can share competencies to develop a more successful national PPP programme. The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews and reference to primary documents. We find that effective sharing of roles between governmental tiers contributes to the success of both projects in terms of bankability and marketability. However, coordination problems between government tiers contributes to significant delays in project implementation. This delay is costly given the public health issues associated with lack of access to clean drinking water.

Identification and prioritization of factors influencing organization risk tolerance level

PurposeIdentifying and prioritizing the risks are considered as critical issues in risk management; otherwise, non-considering the risks will lead to the problems such as delays in project implementation, increased costs, loss of reputation, loss of clients, reduced revenue and liquidity and even bankruptcy. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the factors influencing the organization risk tolerance level were identified. Then, the factors increasing and decreasing the risk tolerance level were determined by a decision-making model. Finally, a comprehensive model was considered for risk measuring and preparing a risk failure structure chart, in order to determine the factors influencing it as well as the measurement criteria and then they were ranked using the taxonomy method. In this study, the size of the statistical population was 130 (six small and medium manufacturer and service provider companies). Based on Cochran’s sample size formula, 97 questionnaires containing 30 questions were randomly distributed among the population. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed. The data were analyzed by SPSS 22.FindingsGiven the hypotheses of this study, the first hypothesis was rejected and the other hypotheses were accepted.

Moreover, the TOPSIS method was used for ranking to compare the results.Originality/valueIn this research, the identification and ranking of these factors have taken place in several small- and medium-sized organizations; in addition, the rankings are conducted using the taxonomy decision-making method.

External Factors Affecting Budget Utilization in Ethiopian Public Universities

Inefficient higher education budget utilization has been adversely affecting the implementation of government policies, programs and project implementation in Ethiopia. This study sought to investigate external factors that affect proper budget utilization in public universities of Ethiopia in 2017. A total of 178 respondents were randomly selected from Dilla, Wolaita Sodo, and Bule Hora Universities. Primary data were collected using closed and open questionnaires. To supplement the survey result secondary data were collected from a federal general auditor. The data were analyzed using various descriptive statistics. The findings indicated a significant improvement in budget allocation to public universities from time to time. However, imposition of the federal agencies to implement unplanned activities by Universities, delay in project implementation, low financial and technical capacity of the contractors in terms of financial and technical matter that cause project implementation delay’s particularly for construction projects had adversely affected the budget utilization of the study Universities. This study recommended that the potential of the contractor both technical and financial capacity and their past performance should be properly evaluated before coming to an agreement. The result also suggested that there should be a need timely and continuous follow up the progress of the project and take corrective action before the end of the fiscal budget year.

PENGGUNAAN METODE HOUSE OF RISK UNTUK ANALISIS FAKTOR KETERLAMBATAN DAN PENYUSUNAN STRATEGI PENANGANAN: STUDI KASUS PEMBANGUNAN MALL

In the work plan there are often operational problems that hinder the completion of a project such as lack of resources, improper resource allocation, delays in project implementation and other issues beyond the schedule in the work plan. The same happened to the mall development project experiencing operational problems. Project delays may come from service providers as well as from users of services or other parties. Therefore this thesis aims to analyze the factors causing the delay in completion of the mall development project. The method used in analyzing the problem in this project is house of delay which serves to analyze data of cause of delay. From the result of 5 delay events, 13 delay agents are then searched aggregate delay potential (ADP) value to determine 3 main problems causing delays in this project. Based on the analysis using the HOR method, found that the three main causes of the delay of mall development is the image changes, lack of coordination by the owner, and the addition of the scope of work. These 3 problems can be minimized by making good communication and coordination with the owner, creating procedures for making and changing pictures, creating a comprehensive check list.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Flood Defense Projects and Productivity Potential Issues

Flood defense (FD) projects are often evaluated from an engineering perspective in terms of flood frequency/flood risk assessment overlooking the productivity potential of the projects from an economic perspective. This is a limitation of the conventional assessment of flood defense projects that productivity potentials are not considered when they are evaluated. Although it is an established fact, FD projects affect the productivity of the production units/farms with them. Modified hydrological conditions of the production environments under the FD projects primarily bring about the changes in farm productivity. Hence, evaluation of FD projects without considering their productivity potential would provide a ‘partial assessment’ and it leaves room for polarization among stakeholders. This paper, however, addresses this limitation by evaluating FD projects form an economic perspective where productivity potentials of the FD schemes are taken into consideration. Two distinct indicators of productivity e.g., ‘technical efficiency’ and ‘yield-gap’ are used here. Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) is engaged to estimate technical efficiency while a standard formula (developed by a synthesis between the ideas of ‘efficiency gap’ and ‘potential yield’) is used to measure yield-gap. This empirical study considers two contrasting FD projects, namely, the traditional flood defense (TFD) and the natural flood defense (NFD), implemented in the Southwest coastal zone of Bangladesh. These projects are evaluated with respect to rice production and the study results reveal that mean scores of technical efficiency for the TFD and NFD projects are respectively 0.78 and 0.76 while average yield-gaps are 719.18 and 807.33 in order. Again, ‘yield-gap ratio’ and the difference between the ‘potential yield increments’ are 1.12 and 2.84 respectively. These findings indicate that TFD project outperforms the NFD project marginally with respect to their productivity potentials. However, assessment of FD projects from engineering and economic perspectives provides a comprehensive evaluation which can resolve or at least attenuate the debate (if any) over the appropriateness of alternative projects and thereby prevents unnecessary delay in project implementation which has economic and policy implications.
