REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR SOUTH MUNTENIA RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT By: By: Liviu Gabriel Musat Elisabetta Capannelli Director Country Manager for Romania and Hungary Regional Develo ent Agenc outhWorld Bank Muntenia (A u Munteni Authorized Represe iv A orized Representative Date: OS (1 ,2 Date: Oc, 2015 Mirela Tache Economic Director Regional Development Agency South Muntenia (ADR Sud Muntenia) 9 SCHEDULE 1 Description of the Advisory Services Updating the Integrated Development Plan and Improving the Institutional Framework for the Ploie ti Growth Pole 1. Background In 2012, the World Bank signed five Advisory Services Agreements with the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration (MRDPA), including one on Romania's Growth Poles Policy and its potential improvements for the 2014-2020 programming period. The Growth Poles RAS had 3 components: 1) an analysis of the Growth Poles Policy; 2) TRACE Energy Efficiency studies for each of the 7 growth poles; and 3) an analysis of the Integrated Development Plans prepared by the growth poles for the 2007-2013 programming period.' The results were shared and discussed throughout the country. 4w The Office of the Growth Pole Coordinator (GPC) in Ploie ti, within the South Muntenia Regional Development Agency (RDA) and supported by a Project co-financed from the European Fund for Regional Development through the Operational Programme Technical Assistance 2007-2013, has reviewed the regional development technical assistance work provided under the aforementioned Advisory Services Program and expressed interest in developing it further. In particular, the Office of the GPC is interested to have the Bank help the Ploie ti Growth Pole implement the recommendations made through two key activities: 1) support for the updating of the growth pole's Integrated Development Plan for the 2014-2020 programming period; and 2) proposals for an improved institutional framework.. 2. Advisory Services a. Objective. The general objective of the Advisory Services is to assist the Recipient through technical assistance to update the Ploie ti Growth Pole Integrated Development Plan for the 2014-2020 Programming Period and to propose an improved institutional framework for coordinating the planning, implementation, and monitoring of projects corresponding to the growth pole Integrated Development Plan. (A Component 1: Support for the updating of the Ploiesti Growth Pole Integrated Development Plan For the first component, the Bank will provide advisory services for updating the Integrated Development Plan for the 2014-2020 Programming Period. To this end, the 2007-2013 Integrated Development Plan provides a good starting base, as it already provides a clear vision and objectives, and includes a list of well thought-out projects. Consequently, the Bank will look to build on current strengths and make proposals for addressing gaps. Activity 1-1: The Bank will support the Recipient in assessing key socio-economic indicators to determine recent trends and dynamics. The analysis will also include an overview of 1 The full Romania Regional Development Program also covered issues pertaining to the institutional framework of the Regional Operational Programme (ROP), project selection models, proposals on improved spatial planning, and recommendations for enhanced territorial and regional development. 10 development strategies (for the Ploieti Growth Pole constituent localities: 1 municipality, 3 towns, 10 communes and Prahova County) to ensure proper coordination and harmonization of proposals. These insights can form the basis for an updated list of objectives and new project proposals. Activity 1-2: The Bank will assist the Recipient in calculating prudent capital expenditure margins, proposing an operational budget that the Ploieti Growth Pole could allocate to new investments during the 2014-2022 programming and project implementation period. The methodology for determining prudent capital expenditure margins has been developed by the Bank and will be used for the prioritization of proposed projects within the Ploieti Growth Pole. Activity 1-3: The Bank will support the Recipient in selecting a list of priority projects for the Ploieti Growth Pole for the 2014-2020 programming period. These will reflect development needs identified upon review of socio-economic indicators and through consultations. Activity 1-4: The Bank will provide support to the Recipient in matching potential projects to 4W available funding sources, considering eligibility criteria for state-budget and 2014-2020 EU- funded investments. Activity 1-5. The Bank will provide assistance to the Recipient in engaging with local communities and vested stakeholders throughout the updating of the Integrated Development Plan, in collaboration with the GPC and local authorities, to ensure that their voices are reflected in the final document. Of particular importance will be the engagement of the poor and marginalized in Ploiesti to ensure that their needs can be addressed through targeted measures. Component 2: Proposals for improving the Ploiesti Growth Pole's institutional framework The second component aims to offer recommendations for an improved institutional framework for coordinating the planning, implementation and monitoring the Integrated Development Plan, offering solutions for how the Office of the GPC could perform its duties more efficiently and effectively given existing constraints. Of particular importance is to identify the ways in which working relationships can be enhanced between the GPC and the beneficiaries of financing - i.e., the local authorities that are the de facto implementers of proposed projects. Other important relationships include the GPC's collaboration with the members of "Ploieqti-Prahova Growth Pole" Intercommunity Agency, the RDA, the Managing Authorities of various EU-funded programs, other growth pole coordinators, and the residents of the growth pole area as the ultimate beneficiaries of Integrated Development Plan projects. Activity 2-1: The Bank will provide assistance to the Recipient to perform a full diagnostic of the current institutional system, focusing on key players (i.e., who does what) and the legal framework (i.e., what could be done given current constraints). The Bank will provide recommendations for addressing existing challenges. Activity 2-2: The Bank will provide support to assess the framework for establishing the strategic development directions for the Ploiesti Growth Pole, including a summary of main strategies and the actual process for developing these documents to determine the dejure and de 11 facto role of various actors (e.g., the GPC, the Ploiesti City Hall and authorities in neighboring localities, civil society, marginalized groups etc.). Activity 2-3: The Bank will assist in evaluating institutional challenges related to the project implementation and post-implementation phases (i.e., how the strategic directions are put into practice), including monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and knowledge sharing mechanisms. The assessment will address both formal and informal cooperation mechanisms, focusing on the current role of the GPC in relation to other stakeholders (e.g., local authorities, intermediate bodies and managing authorities of EU-funded programs, central-level bodies, etc.). The Bank will propose institutional solutions for enabling more effective project implementation and post- implementation. Activity 2-4: The Bank will help the Recipient to perform a quick analysis of experiences with territorial planning to offer examples of best practices - internal and external - that could be applied in Ploiesti Growth Pole. Activity 2-5: The Bank will support the Recipient in presenting findings and recommendations to key stakeholders involved and incorporate their feedback. b. Timetable. Except as the Recipient and the Bank may otherwise agree, the Bank shall endeavor to perform the Advisory Services in accordance with the following tentative timetable: Output Proposed Timing (from effective date) I Inception Report (both components) Summarizes the initial discussions with key counterparts on the scope of the analysis, methodology to be used, planning of activities, major concerns, 3 months time frames, counterpart team members, data availability, communication, etc. 2 Workshop presentation of intermediary results (both components) Support to the Recipient in organizing a workshop with key stakeholders to present, validate, and refine the findings and recommendations 7 months corresponding to intermediary reports under both components. 3 Workshop presentation of intermediary results (both components) Support to the Recipient in organizing a workshop with key stakeholders to 10 months present, validate, and refine the findings and recommendations corresponding to final reports under both components.
