Key Changes to Processes as a Result of the Adoption of the
NEW Guidelines
New Projects
A major change from the current practice of appraising new projects, which the Guidelines introduce,
is a two-stage process.
Early-stage preparation (Stage 1) involves initial identification, research and discussion for the
preparation by budget entities of a relatively simple Screening Note to be evaluated by the Ministry to
determine if a detailed appraisal study (Stage 2) is warranted.
Guidelines 7 of the User Manual thoroughly explain the preparation of screening notes.
The screening notes need to be submitted at any time during the year to the Ministry for desk
evaluation and decision-making, based on weighted criteria for:
economic impact;
social impact;
environment, climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation and disaster resilience;
administrative/financial capacities; and
risk analysis and management plan.
The weighted criteria and scoring system will enable the Ministry to make more informed
recommendations on the medium-term allocation of PSIP resources.
Both the criteria and weightings may be varied over time according to the views of government
policymakers and to allow for undertaking sensitivity analysis.View entire presentation
