This is the first trimester report of the MHLR project since contract signing (29th October 2018) between DFID and IMC Worldwide Ltd for RAP3- Mugu Humla Link Road Project. The report covers the period of 1st November 2018 to 28th February 2019. The report summarises the information presented in the project’s monthly reports from the trimester, in particular the key achievements, results and issues experienced. It also provides additional information and data on the project that was not relevant for inclusion in the monthly reports, or which it is too onerous to collect on a monthly basis.
Whilst the project contract end date is 31st May 2020 (with provision for a one-year extension), the project work plan continues through to 31st October 2020. For time measurement purposes we are using the work plan end date, i.e. a project duration of 24 months, rather than the contract date with a project duration of only 19 months and during which it is not possible to complete the works.
The baseline plan for physical and financial results is taken from the forecast summary finalised on 14th January 2019.
