Science and Technology ManpowerDevelopment Program

The number of overseas study program participants who hold higher education qualifications
remains virtually unchanged as compared with at ex-post evaluation, and returnees are activelyinvolved in research activities. A follow-up project (“Professional Human ResourceDevelopment Project”) is currently in progress.

Sattahip-Map Ta Phut Railway Project

Despite a 2.2-fold increase (925,000 ton/year) in freight shipments since the ex-post evaluation,
this is still only 23% of the target level. To increase shipments, the freight transportation
capacity of the sections to the north of this line (bound for Bangkok, etc.) needs to be improved,and plans for double-tracking are being planned.

Map Ta Phut-Sattahip Water Pipeline Project

Supply volumes have increased 3.3 fold (7.3 million tons/year) since the ex-post evaluation andthe effectiveness of the project is improving. The target (14 million tons/year) is expected to bereached within a few years of water supplies from the new filtration plant that is currently underconstruction.

Basin Bridge Gas Turbine Project

Energy production at the time of ex-post evaluation was 165GWh/year and this was almost asplanned, but soaring naphtha prices caused output to drop to 44GWh/year in 2004. The
operational characteristics of this plant (its ability to reach maximum output within 15 minutes ofstartup) mean that this project is crucial to meet the energy demand during peak hours. but inorder to increase its operating ratio, the plant needs to switch from naphtha to cheaper naturalgas. (* The government of India is currently planning the construction of a gas pipeline.)

Feedback Seminars
Feedback seminars conducted as part of mid-term reviews were held in Vietnam in Augustand in the Philippines in September of 2005. In Vietnam, increasing precedence is being
given to the use of evaluations performed by the planning agency and executing agencies,
and there was active discussion at the recent seminar as in which indicator should be taken
to measure the impact of bridge construction projects. In the Philippines, governmental
agencies have begun working on development result management, and discussions at theseminar focused on improvement of ex-post evaluations.
