    • Oman’s MTCIT launches matrix for prioritizing road projects

    By on June 18, 2023

    Muscat: The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has launched a matrix for identifying and prioritizing road projects. The aim is to devise a methodology with clear-cut and approved standards for improving the governance system of road construction and road maintenance projects.

    This matrix will serve as a guide in prioritizing the implementation, construction and restoration of roads, said the ministry, noting that the algorithm will facilitate decision-making prior to submitting the projects to authorities entrusted with approving annual government plans and related budgets.

    The matrix seeks to ensure transparency and fairness in distributing road projects among governorates of Oman in a manner that also ensures the accomplishment of economic and social development objectives.

    The matrix comprises six main criteria that are applied to projects listed among the ministry’s priorities, namely the strategic criterion, the economic criterion, the social criterion, the technical or engineering criterion, the environmental criterion and the construction and maintenance cost criterion. This is in addition to sub-criteria attached to the objectives of each criterion.
