PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project, "Consultancy Service for the Preparation of National Productivity Norm for the Water Construction Sub-Sector," is a strategic partnership between the Construction Management Institute (CMI) and Arba Minch University aimed at establishing standardized performance benchmarks for manpower and machinery within Ethiopia's water infrastructure industry. By deploying a specialized technical team to conduct extensive field surveys and data analysis across various districts, the project seeks to replace inconsistent estimation methods with scientifically validated productivity constants. This framework will provide a legal and technical foundation for more accurate project planning, procurement, and cost management, ultimately reducing the delays and budget overruns currently affecting national irrigation, dam, and water supply systems
