Step 10. Identification of Institutional and Training Requirements
Apart from the technical and economic feasibility, the feasibility study shall assess institutional
and training requirements. The following guidelines apply:
- The existing organisational structure, staffing, roles and responsibilities and O&M systems and budget of the owner of the completed works shall be assessed.
- The additional responsibility, O&M workload and budget requirement due to the proposed project shall be assessed.
- The requirement for additional staff, and their job responsibilities, to be employed either permanently for the operation of the new works, or temporarily for the duration of the project only shall be assessed.
- Training needs for existing staff and any additional staff shall be assessed.
- The availability of in-house, in-country or external sources to provide the necessary training shall be identified.
- The institutional strengthening and training component within the project shall be recommended.
- The cost of such training and institutional strengthening shall be estimated.
- A staffing plan during the project and for post-project O&M shall be recommended.
It is important that the timing of the institutional strengthening and training should match with the
implementation of the project to ensure that the training is fully utilised.
