Assistance to the Second Agricultural Research Project, Bangladesh

No results found.a) This report provides the final description of the design of the BFRS; and completes part 2 of the consultants assignment to the project. (b) A design is provided for the site selected at Paikgacha, Khulna district, comprising layouts of ponds, laboratory, administrative and service facilities, specifications for facilities, services, and installed equipment, and details of significant engineering requirements for successful development. In addition, a budget costing is provided for contract guidance and assisting in allocation of funds. A timetable of development is also included, defining the critical points in the completion of the project. (c) A draft tender notification is provided for local consultant engineers, together with terms of reference and a schedule of work, and a design/supervision timetable. (d) The main points to note are: The site is suitable for the requirements defined in the research programme, and meets the site selection criteria well. Additional si te area is required for provision of fill material for main walls, as the site is relatively low-lying. Final layouts may be affected by detailed results of soil bearing tests and of freshwater availability. Timing of development is particularly critical: unless clear and decisive executive control is exercised, it will be difficult to complete significant construction work within the 1986/87 dry season. The accompanying figure demonstrates the critical points in the early development of the project. At present (1986) price levels, the project development is estimated to cost around 100110% of specifically allocated funds. This cannot necessarily be guaranteed if long delays occur. As presently specified, the design fulfills the requirements of the main defined research objectives in a reasonably efficient and cost-effective manner. Project costs can be reduced, but only at the cost of compromising some of these objectives. -

Assistance to the Second Agricultural Research Project, Bangladesh
1986Also available in:
No results found.By Ordinance No XLV of 1984, entitled The Fisheries Research Institute Ordinance, 1984, the President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh created the Fisheries Research Institute on 11 July, 1984. Analysis of the present fisheries situation revealed that main emphasis should be given to research in riverine fisheries (to maintain present production levels), brackishwater aquaculture, and fisheries in ponds and other freshwater bodies (Chapter 2). Priority research projects have been iden tified and allocated to the research stations procedures for starting up research work have been developed. elated projects are combined to research programmes, of which a limited number are taken up in each station. This will strongly improve motivation of researchers, as well as efficiency of guidance. Sources of project funding have been identified, including the Contract Research scheme of the Agricultural Research II Project (Chapter 4.4). It is argumented that the original set-up of FR I (5 stations, HQ in Chandpur) hampers progress because of problems in management, research guidance, and in efficient use of available budgets. It is proposed to limit the number of stations to 3 (for freshwater, brackishwater and marine research) and to house the headquarters in one of them, preferably in Mymensingh (freshwater) (Chapter 4.1). Organogrammes and staffing lists are presented; concentration of facilities makes the organization smaller and better, and FRI can function with less personnel than originally foreseen (Chapter 4.2/3). Technical Assistance to FRI is available from different sources; for the various specialists responsabilities and their place in the organization have been specified (Chapter 4.5). Proposals for regular monitoring of research projects have been worked out in detail (Chapter 5.2/3). -
