Abstract

Abstract This report’s main aim is to propose a methodology for assessing state-budget-funded projects based on a rigorous selection model, including clear and effective prioritization criteria. This report first argues that project prioritization and selection should be optimized against four dimensions: absorption, impact, legitimacy, and capacity. Second, it provides a diagnostic of the National Program for Local Development (PNDL), managed by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration (MRDPA), as the most significant source of state-budget funding for local infrastructure projects. The PNDL’s current design and implementation leaves room for improvement, as reflected by the lack of strategic direction in allocating funds and the continued rise in the number of projects that get started without a feasible timeline for their completion. Further, this report makes recommendations for improvement of project evaluation and selection procedures for local infrastructure development projects, with a special focus on prioritization criteria and viable funding sources for each type of investment. The practical purpose is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of proposed investments, maximizing impact in the context of inherently limited available financial resources. A complementary focus is on opportunities for harmonizing and better coordinating investments across various sources of funding, in the context of nearly EUR 40 billion available to Romania from the EU for the 2014-2020 programming period.
改进道路基础设施项目优先排序标准
本报告的主要目的是提出一种评估国家预算资助项目的方法,该方法基于严格的选择模型,包括明确有效的优先级标准。本报告首先认为,项目的优先级和选择应该从四个方面进行优化:吸收、影响、合法性和能力。其次,它提供了由区域发展和公共管理部(MRDPA)管理的国家地方发展计划(PNDL)的诊断,作为地方基础设施项目的国家预算资金的最重要来源。PNDL目前的设计和实施仍有改进的余地,这反映在资金分配方面缺乏战略方向,以及在没有可行的完成时间表的情况下开始的项目数量不断增加。此外,本报告还就改进地方基础设施发展项目的项目评价和选择程序提出了建议,特别注重每一种投资的优先次序标准和可行的资金来源。实际目的是提高拟议投资的效率和效力,在现有财政资源本身有限的情况下最大限度地发挥影响。在2014-2020年规划期间,欧盟将向罗马尼亚提供近400亿欧元资金,在此背景下,补充重点是协调和更好地协调各种资金来源投资的机会。
