The ORA draws on and adapts previous work to develop methodologies to assess and suggest mitigation measures for fiduciary risks, as well as inherent risks linked with road and infrastructure construction and maintenance, administrative control risks, and risks associated with political influence. The Fiduciary and Operational Risk Management Improvement Plan (FORMIP) built on the first report to: (i) assess fiduciary and operational risks in LGED's management of projects, assets and other resources, and in LGD's oversight function, that are likely to be major factors in possible funds leakages, delays and undue interferences and overall inefficient use of public resources; (ii) prioritize options which are realistic and available to effectively minimize (and where possible, eliminate) the major operational risks identified; and (iii) identify options for mechanisms which (drawing on this ORA as a 'baseline') will facilitate efficient future monitoring of operational risks in LGED and the LGD. An important conclusion of the ORA is that most of the recommended actions are within LGED's authority to take, with support from development partners and routine budgetary spending and staffing authorizations from other agencies. However, the action plan proposed in the report will be greatly enhanced if supported by further development of the Government's, Bank's and development partners' programs to improve governance and reduce overall operational risk in Bangladesh. Individual sub-sector reports such as these ORA can only have a limited impact in the absence of wider and widely supported programs.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACCESS TO COMPUTERACCIDENT RESEARCHACCOUNTINGACTION PLANADOPTION OF ICTANTI-VIRUS SOFTWAREATTRIBUTESBACKBONEBACKUPBASICBIDDINGBRIDGEBROADBANDBUDGET ALLOCATIONCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCENTRAL SERVERSCLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURECLIENT-SERVER TECHNOLOGYCOLLABORATIONCOLLECTION OF DATACOMMUNICATION STRATEGYCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMPONENTSCOMPUTER EQUIPMENTCOMPUTER HARDWARECOMPUTER LITERACYCOMPUTER SKILLSCOMPUTER SYSTEMSCOMPUTERIZATIONCOMPUTERSCONNECTIVITYCONTRACTORSCONTROL SYSTEMSCULVERTSCUSTOMDATA ANALYSISDATA CENTERDATA COLLECTIONDATA CORRUPTIONDATA ENTRYDATA MININGDATABASE MANAGEMENTDATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSDECISION MAKINGDECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMDECISION SUPPORT TOOLDRAINAGEDRIVERSE-GOVERNANCEE-PROCUREMENTELECTRONIC CAPTUREELECTRONIC MEDIAEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENGINEERINGENGINEERING DESIGNENGINEERSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEQUIPMENTEXCHANGE RATEFATALITYFATALITY RATEFAXESFILE TRANSFERFILE TRANSFER PROTOCOLFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDFUNCTIONALITYGEOGRAPHICAL AREAHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESICTIMPLEMENTATION PLANINCOMEINCOME TAXINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINNOVATIONINSPECTIONINTEGRATED SYSTEMSINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVENTORYIT INFRASTRUCTUREJETTIESLAND USELOCAL AREA NETWORKMANAGEMENT AUTHORITYMANAGEMENT SOFTWAREMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMARKET PRICESMATERIALMONITORSNETWORKINGNEW TECHNOLOGIESORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREOUTPUTSOUTSOURCINGPARTNER ORGANIZATIONSPARTNER PROJECTSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHONEPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPOWER SUPPLIESPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPRODUCTIVITYPROFESSIONAL STAFFPROGRAMMINGPROGRAMSPROJECT MANAGEMENTRESETTLEMENTRESULTRESULTSROADROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROAD STANDARDSROAD USERSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTSANITATIONSATELLITESECURITY PROTOCOLSSERVERSERVERSSITESSKILLED MANPOWERSOFTWARE PACKAGESSOFTWARE SYSTEMSSPEEDSSPREADSHEETSSUPERVISIONSUPPORT STAFFTARGETSTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL STAFFTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNOLOGICAL OBSOLESCENCETERMINALSTOP MANAGEMENTTRAFFICTRAILSTRAINING ACTIVITIESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSETRAINING MANUALSTRAINING PROGRAMMESTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING REQUIREMENTSTRAINING WORKSHOPTRANSACTIONTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT IMPROVEMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT SAFETYTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION OFFICIALSTURNAROUND TIMEURBAN ROADSUSABILITYUSERUSESVEHICLESVERIFICATIONVIRUSVIRUSESWEBWEBSITEWORD PROCESSINGWORKSTATIONSWorld Bank10.1596/12368
