PART I SITUATION ANALYSIS AND STATUS

I 1 Overview of the current context

Cam bodia has long been considered a success-story in terms of t rade mainstreaming among least developed countr ies since it became a pilot country under the then integrated framework Increased Aid-for-Trade disbursement s foll owed the 2004 WTO accession and

the 2007 Trade Integration Strategy launched in 2007 Remain ing in t he forefront among LDCs Cambodia embarked on the development and implementation of an ambitious Trade Sect or Wide Approach (Trade SWAp) following the Ministry of Commerce restructuring in 2007 While t he SWAp implement at ion is supported in-country by several development partners the Minist ry of Commerce sought and ga ined access to the ElF Tier 1 funds to focus on key areas of capacity development not presently covered by other development

partners but in line wi th t he SWAP Pillar Road Maps

The ElF Tier 1 funds help Cam bodia to strengthen its in-country Nat ional Implement ation Arrangements for more and better t rade mainstreaming and better management of Aid-forshyTrade (AfT) flows This means ext ending know ledge of Cambod ias trade scene role of t rade into national developments for t his to happe n a robust NI U must be able to incorporate officia ls from other line ministries who woul d in turn promote the role of t rade in t heir respect ive areas

For this to happen and for the implementat ion of the SWAp implies procedures and systems for better management monitoring and implementation of th e countrys trade deve lopment agenda t o be put in place in the new formed Department of International Cooperation (D ICO) with the objective to make this department a focal point for all Trade Rel ated Tech nical Assistance (TRTA) in Cambodia DI CO was established in the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) by PRAKAS No 213 MOC SM 2007 dated September 18 2007on the Organ izat ion and Functi on ing of the Department of Internationa l Cooperation (DI CO) Neverthe less the staffing process gradually started in 2008 and the depart ment with the num ber of staff members reached its accept able operati onal capacity only in the 3rd quarter of 2008 D ICO is act ing as Trade SWAp Secretariat as t he Trade Development Support Programme (TDSP) Execut ing Agency and as the ElF National Implementation Unit (NIU)

At the start-up it is significantly stretching for a newly establ ished department with lim ited interna l expert ise and experiences in development activi ties to deliver the planned ou tputs

in order to achieve intended results of this project and program However lots of efforts have been made to meet the set objectives and harmonize pract ices From August 2011 till June 2012 all government offi cials in O ICO received salary supplement through the Government Priority Operati ng Costs (POC) mechanism wh ich has sign ifi cantly reduced absenteeism and boosted productivity In parallel a Performance Management System has been introduced and regular t raining organ ized for DleO officials Wh ile the POC scheme for DICO was fu nded by TOSP all government officials in D ICO are requested to provide support to all technica l assistance projects managed by DICO The termination of the poe

scheme in Cambodia as of June 30 2012 therefore increased the risk of a redu ction in the pace of implement ation of all Tra de- Rel ated Technical Ass istance projects managed by DleO For memory besides se rvi ng as an NIU for the El F o Ieo serves also as t he coordinat ing body of the assistance to sector development under the Trade SWAp (sectf

12 OvelView of the ElF ProcessPrograru

The El F Tier 1 project for Cambodia aims at strengthen ing th e in-country arrangements of t he ElF in order to increase t he Cambodias ow nership of TRTA and maxim izing t he benefi ts that the country in part icul ar the privat e sector can derive f rom the ElF

During the 1 stsemest er of the project s t hird year of operation act ivities w ere revised sl ight ly and were conducted undersix of the eightproject outputs proposed for the EI FTier 1 project Those eight outputs1 are as foll ows

i Output 1 NIU structure was finalized sta ffed and training ii Output 2 Support to creat ion of liaison office and awareness raising on ElF in line

tools vii Output 7 Promotion of Ca mbodias TRTA an d t rade mainstreaming experiences

with ot her LOCs increased exposure of NIU to AfT and VIII Output 8 Evaluati on and internat ional aud iti ng of ElF Tier 1 Program

M ost of the act ions contemplated for the first semester of the year have t aken place whereas leve l of activi ties has reached cruise speed by the end of last year Severa l

activities contem plated under the t wo other outpu ts have taken place but were sponsored by other projects

16 Risk Analysis

The low level of activi ties in year 1 has shown that some risks exist of seeing the ambitious ElF Tier 1 outcomes not materialize therefore jeopard izing the SWAp implementat ion For

1 Revised work plan for 201 2 can be fou nd in Annex 1 81 Page

ElF TIER i-1sT SEM ESTER 2012 NARRATI VE REPORT

year 2 the leve l of activities has significantly im proved in particular duri ng the second sem ester Subsequently in year 3 the level of activities has also Si gnificantly improved

however there is slight delay in implementing some of t he planned capaci ty development activities in part due to the new requirement from the El F ES that all t ra ining activities must be thoroughly detailed and obta in prior approval f rom ElF ES and UNOPS

For th e forthcoming six months efforts wou ld need t o be deployed t o m itigate the risks stemming from the termination of the Government-led salary supplement mechanism (POC)

t o which the NIU was participating Increa sed capacity devel opm ent efforts would need to be susta ined in the short t erm so as to ensure that the NIU can retain the institutional and

individua l capaci t ies created over the past years While t he structure of t he NIU would probably need to be adjusted to the new circumstances the effects of the POC te rmination would need to be assessed at t he time of the next narrative report

Whi le t he project progress conSidering t he numerous roles O ICO in addi t ion to the ElF NIU one is playing and whi le the outlook is much better t han the project foundations are not yet susta inable and risks exist that not all intended objectives for the fi rst 3 years of

implem entation cou ld be reach ed (both in terms of activities and disbursement) The main const rai nts identified are

1 Li mited conceptualsubstant ive capacities and experiences on TRTA among OICO (NIU) and L O put t ing therefore a lot of emphasis on t raining an d awareness raising act iv iti es

2 Concurrent impleme ntation of TOSP and ElF by sa me officials in OI CO at a time where TOSP has increased its own disbursem ent targets

3 Terminat ion of the POC Scheme by end June 2012

4 Lengthy procurement procedures -3 months on average for consu ltant 4 months for goods- ser iously denting the project smooth implementation and

5 Focus on short t erm low impact activities rat her than on long-term initiat ives and vision for sector deve lopment

1J3 Capacity building

Capacit y bui lding on trade and t ra de related topics is at the core of the ElF Tier 1 project From the project inset the Ministry of Commerce has endeavored to use develop and strengthen nat ional capacities (offic ials and consultants) for all TRTA projects OICO acting as the project National Implementation Un it is responsible for the coord ination of all TRTA projects implemented by the Ministry of Com merce and in part icu lar of the Trade

Deve lopment Trust Fu nd

For that reason a lot of emphasis is m ade in the ElF Tier 1 implementation on the

strengthening of the institut ional and individual capaciti es of O ICO as well as the other key stakeholders wit hin Cambodias National Institutional Arrangements (NIA)

A t ent ative annual training plan (dom estic overseas) for OICO w as deve loped early 2012 as a spin-off of the POC Scheme development for OI CO which is ended by June 30 2012The t ra ining pla n is now implemented with joint support from TOSP Component 3 and ElF Tier 1 funds (u nder outcome 1) The annual training plan 2012 has approved by ElF ES dat ed in 4 th

114 Training Communication and Dissemination

Communication and dissem inat ion is a key component of Cambod ias Trade Sector Wide Approach an d t he El F Tier 1 is the main vehicle for this communication to reach the int ended beneficia ries Cambodia is asked on a regular basis to share its expe rience and success st ories w ith other LDCs devel oping promotion and communication materia ls is

therefore vita l for t he project Yet other local stakeholders need to be updates on achievements possib ilities and new initiatives t hat can be better rea ched t hrough awareness-raising act ivities

At t he domestic level awareness is m ost ly done though regional workshops fun ded by the TDSP or the ElF on Aid-far-Trade and t rade mainst reaming

At the internat ional level t he communication and dissemination has taken two different form s

~ Exchange programmes w ith other LDCs

o On program me- based approach and OTIS updat e with NI U Laos o On trade ma instreaming w ith NIU Bangladesh

)- Participation in regional and global trade-eve nts

o UNCTAD XIII April 2012 o Asia Pacific RTG meeting( May 2012) o WTO Workshop on LOC accession M ay 2012

Last but not least the NIU recruited an internation al communicati on advise r to update upgrade and start implementing the Trade SWAp Communication strategy which was carried out in the f irst quarte r of 2012 Unfort unately effort s to attract competent national comm unication consultants have been unsuccessful so far Discussions are on-going with in MaC t o recruit a consu lt ing firm rather than individuals to work with NIU until a communication unit can be created in NI U where capacit y development efforts could focus

115 Exil lrategy and sustajnability

Since the onset the project sustain abili ty has been a key concern for OIICO and MoC management In spit e of t he lim it ed absorpt ion capaci t ies in DICO it was decided to empower existing staff and limit the recrui tment of externa l consultants and advisers to t he minimum and on a need basi s For th is t o mate ria li ze efforts on st aff capacity bu ildi ng in M aC and relevant line minist ries shou ld always be at the foref ron t of the ElF strategy in t he country always in adherence to t he Paris Principles Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

It is therefore expected tha t by the end of t he project the ElF w ill be man aged in Cambod ia by officia ls on ly be them from the NI U or e xtended NIU The re levant structu res in DIC

In the meant ime emphasis wi ll be laid on a carefu l implementation and update of annual t raining plan t rai ning selection criteria and review of performance and impact of training All tra ining activities will be documented with a set of train ing materials Post tra ining act ions are developed together w ith t he t rain ing providers (firms or consultants) to ensure that t he newly acquired ski lls and knowledge are put to good use immediately afte r return ing from training

Fi nally it is expect ed that UNOPS in its role as TFM and the ElF ES will cont inue to moni tor th project implementa t ion and provide guidance and possibly benchmarks so that the project can be run in an effective and efficient manner leading to sustainability by the project comp letion In that regard meet ing t he proposed benchmarks wi ll be an important indicator of the progress towards more sustainability of the ElF project over t he long term

116 Review of lhe work plan

ConSidering the very slow level of implementation in the f irst year of the project (May 2010 - April 2011) a f irst ambitious work plan was prepared for t he year 2011 Yet the proposed work plan for 2011 could not be implemented in t otality As a result un-completed or notshystarted act ivit ies were ca rried over to the 2012 work plan and budget plan The ambi tious 2012 work plan submitted in December 2011 to the TFM and ElF ES reflected that

For the first 6 months of t he year 2012 it can be reasonable assessed that 50 of all planned act ivi ties have been conducted It can al so be expected t hat all act ivi t ies planned

for 2012 (original December 2011 work plan) wou ld take place in 2012 However as described below the decision to kick-start Cambodia OTIS update in 2012 would have conseq uences on the work and budget plan of the 2nd semester 2012

In a measure aimed t o further mai nstream trade align t he Aid -for-Trade and DP support planning process to the Government national development planning process t he MoC contracted an international consultant to undertake an independent review of the efficiency and effectiveness of t he Trade SWAp mechanism The results of the review will provide the found tions for the OTIS update 2012 as well as ways and means to bette r the implementation of t he SWAp The OTIS update wou ld t ake into consideration some of the priorities be ing discussed by the Royal Government of Cambod ia in terms of the next 5-year development strategy as well NSDP update (2013-2018)

ElF TIER I - 1sT SEMEST ER 2012 NARRATIVE RE PORT

Th is t ogether w ith the kick-off of CED EP I project and the form ulation of CEDEP II would have a bearing on the implementation of other ElF-sponsored activi ties However the possibility of sub-contra cting UNDP Cambodia to ta ke over the DTIS update fi duciary functions combi ned with the use of the extended NIU team could allow for an effect ive update process over a period of 6 to 9 months

117 Risk mitigation

The risks observed with in the first two years of impl ementat ion have been steadi ly

mitigated wh il e others risks have appeared in the last months of t he review period

Main r isk m it igation action taken

Work flows and procedures have been put in place in the NIU for all t rade-related

t echnica l assistance projects t hat enabled a sm oother implem entat ion of project activit ies Procu rement and HRM bottlenecks have been overcom e most ly by al igning procedures among projects

The adopt ion of t he SWAp Pillar Road Maps provi di ng a robust result mon itor ing framework has decreased potential and act ual duplicat ion am ong projects and w il l al low for a better align men t of individual project objectives (ElF Tier 1 and ind ividua l ElF Tier 2 projects w ith the overall SWAp goals The Pi llar Road Maps constitute excellent frameworks in w hich to monitor ElF Tier 1 results and progress in particu lar under the SWAp Pillar 3 on capacity deve lopment for trad e

The addition to the NIU t eam of an administrative assistant has all owed other EIF shy

contract ed consulta nts and NIU staff to better focus on their ow n job descript ion and assigned dut ies and redu cing the adm inist rative burden w ith the t eam

Adhering t o recommendations from ElF ES and TF M the NIU has increased the

partic ipation and invo lvement of ElF Li aison Offi cers into t he da ily work of t he NIU This was made easier th rough the purch ase of basic office equipment t o each LO as well as by sett ing up mont hly meetings of NI U with LID The NIU is planning t o add two more LO t o t he team considering the areas covered by the two CEDE P projects under formu lation

coordinator that helped increase unde rstanding from all sides and led t o a successful outcome The experience will be repeated with CEDE P 2

New risks observed in the first semester 2012 and possible mitigation actions

This has trad it ionally been an area of weakness in MoC-run projects and TDSP and ElF

are no except ion While the creat ion of an MampE un it in DICO provides an institutional anchor its capacities are still weak especially considering t he complex SWAp and ElF result fra mework matrices To address this TDSP is su pport the MampE unit with a short term international consultant and a full tim e national consultan t t o

help develop MampE gu idelines and t emplates for the TDSP as wel l as help the un it monitor ind ividual project progress and report on t hem CE DEP I project in clu des as well a omponent on MampE and out reach support ing the units w ith inputs f rom consul tan t s in particul ar to be able t o mon itor implementation of the ElF programme in Cambodia and provide inputs to the globa l ElF resu lt f ramework

The terminati on of the Governm ent-sanctioned Priority Operation Cost (POC) may have long-term consequences for the NIU as its entire staff was receiving t his monthly salary supplement The absence of salary supplement considering ex isting government off icial pay rates might increase t he absenteeism in NIU and therefore sl ow down the pace of project implementation Better human resources management through targeted t ra ining for staff could help mitigate t his r isk

The reSignation of the director of DICO (NIU and TDSP Director) has led to t he appointment of an acting director from wit hin MoC ranks until a more permanent solution is found Wh ile all DI CO units have an annual work plan and minor disturbance is expected t he delay in f inding a new director could lead t o some additi ona l delays in project im plementat ion

UNDP Cambodia has acted as an ElF Donor Facil ita or for t he past 10 years MoC has decided to partner with UNDP Cambod ia for the implementat ion of an El F Tier 2 project component on cassava export currently be ing form ulated If th is were to

material ize UN DP has indicated t hat it wou ld st ep down and relinquish t he posit ion of ElF Donor Facilitator to avoid any potent ia l confli ct of interest between the two functions MoC has therefore initiated con text with several bi lateral development partners in Cambodia t o become alternate DF for t he time being with a view to

become main OF once the confi rm at ion of UN DP as an ElF Tier 2 MI E becomes effectives Wh ile efforts are on-going t o seek an alternate DF the absence of a DF might consti tute a risk as f rom Q42012

Simi larly recent staff changes and new procedures at t he ElF ES has meant t hat

communication between NI U and ElF ES has been rather slow leading to repeated delays in im plementation While th is does not seem to be specific to Cambod ia the persistence of this issue cou ld lead t o additional and unwa nted delays On a similar note during t he fjrst semester 2012 discrepancies in communication appeared in

ElF TIER 1 - 1ST SEMESTER 2012 NA RAT IVE REPORT

2012 with t he ElF ES in particu lar on budgetary and fiduciary aspects It is import ant to keep a clea r distinction bet wee n the types of com munication exchanged between NIU and El F ES on one hand and between NIU and UNOPS on the other hand so as to avoid confusion and duplica t ion

The regular number of delegations wishing to visit Cambodia has made the NIU and MoC in general very proud and willing to share experiences either t hrough visits to

Ca mbodia of fore ign delegations or t hrough excha nge program me such as t he one organized in Laos in January 2012 However each mission occupies the NIU for at least a full week (preparations authori zati ons and meetings) In pa ral lel not all de legation prepares themselves for t he challenges of a packed agenda and often re quest visit at t oo short notice Finally the exchanges can prove costly As a possible mitigation it could be possible to eith er organized regional or sub-regional workshops with t he support of the ElF ES at which several NIU or other part s of the

NIA cou ld partici pate exchange in a more neut ral environment for everyone to benefit Considering t he central location that Bangkok represents in addition to being t he HQ of UNOPS ROAP offi ce capacity bui ld ing act ivities could take place there

involving severa l Asian countries

PART III STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTNERS PERSPECTIVES

III 1 Stallteholders perspective

The main SWAP TDSP and ElF stakehol ders have acknowledged in several occasions the

efforts deployed by D ICO in 2012 to speed up implementation of all TRTA The NIU has been able to increase the knowledge on w hat is the contribut ion of t rade to national developments as is exemplified by t he quali ty of the subst antive discussions happening during the regular IC meetings and IA meetings

The intensive participation of line ministries in the SWAp implementation committee the regu lar SWAp Pillar Worki ng Groups and in supporti ng the devel opment of CEDEP I bode we ll for t he future of t he program me in the short t erm but also for t he fu ture full ownership of the Trade SWAp The adm inistrati ve mechanisms re levant to the organization of meetings (invitati on agenda speeches supporting docu ments minutes and sharing of minutes) is a we ll-oil ed process allowing everyone to focus on subst ance rather t han on operations As a consequence the quality of the SSCTDTRI meet ings has increased as well

The decision to include projects form ulated by li ne minist r ies of accessi ng more fl exible fund ing t hrough ElF Tier 2 modalities have increased t he interest of a few line min istr ies and

privat e sector representations

One area that deserves more attention in particular bearing in mi nd th e forthcom ing ElF Tier 2 project implement ation is t he need to better and further engage private sector be it at the nationa l or sub-nationa l leve l It will be im portant to t arget them in awareness-raising

workshops and outreach act ivit ies organized by NI U in 2012 2013 Wh ile some t imid

I 23 I P age

ElF TIER 1 - 1ST SEM ESTER 2012 NARRATI VE REPORT

initiatives are taken place un der the TOS P the immense and diverse needs of the private

sector as discussed during thematic technical working groups deserve better atten t ion by

ElF and t he NIU t eam in particular

III 2 Partners perspective

The NIU has cont inued engaging local development partners in 2012 in part icular through t he ElF Tier 2 project formul ation act ivities the Trade and Oevelopment Update meetings and the Sub St eering Committee meetings

In pa ral lel efforts have been made to promote Cambodias Aid-for-Trade strategy and showcase resul ts using the Asian Regional Round Table M eetings the UNCTAD XIII as well as the WTO LDC workshop

The relationsh ip with t he W orld Bank and TOSP donors has im proved tremendously owing to t he fact that the NIU has multiplied t ransparency and coord ination efforts in order to ensure th at no duplicat ion happens

1113 Future perspective

The 2012 work plan combining act ions not com pleted in 2011 and a set of new act ivities aimed to acce lerate implementation of the SWAp can be considered over-am bitious

The Sen ior Min ister Min ister of Com merce decision ta ken in February 2012 t o start t he update of t he OTIS in the 2nd semester 2012 has meant a revisit ing of the ElF Tier 1 work plan and budget plan as well as of division of labor within O ICO A concept note is being prepared and a new budget revision has been comp leted to take into consideration t he extra fi nancia l needs Both wi ll be shared locally with development part ners and stakeholders bef ore it is officially communicated to the ElF ES and UNOPS

The OTIS update process wil l take into consideration the lessons learnt during the previous update in 2007 will vow to keep the existing SWAp structure and to update the result framework Best practices observed in Bhutan and Laos OTIS update will also be used

It is hoped that the OTIS update w ill lead to the better mai nst reaming of trade into t he next

NSDP and Government rectangular strategy

The NIU is putt ing addi t iona l efforts in spite of still lim it ed conceptual capacities to reach

ou t to stakeholders and deve lopment partners to share opportun ities under Cambodias Aid-Far-Trade agenda as wel l as by developi ng usefu l t ools for accrued ownership by line ministries

NIU is placing great hope on the possibil ity of develop ing mUlti-yea r programmes to support the implementation of the OTIS update act ion matrix and therefore m aintain ing trade

y 24 I P a g ~


mainst reaming into national developm ent strategies to its current level in particular but not exclusively using Tier 2 funding For this to happen a more predict able fram ework is

needed w hich would allow insti t utional and ind ividual capaci ties in key li ne m inistri es to develop and flou rish

PART IV PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION

IV 1 Staff

The risks highl ighted above in chapter 117 underli ne t he recurrent prob l ms o f attracting and maintaining government offi cia ls and managers to work in a high-paced and busy

environment such as NIU

Efforts have been made in 2012 t herefore to improve individual work plan and performance appraisal through t he introduct ion of dedica t ed templates and proced ures and regular staff meeting In add it ion the chances being offe red to staff to increase t heir ski ll s and knowledge in IT English or report writ ing has m eant that the capacit ies to perform has

steadily increased This effort needs to be sustai ned t hough as several positions have become vacant in NIU after departure from staff (either on promot ion latera l t ransfer or for overseas study) The use of national and internat iona l consultants cannot be a long term

solution even though all consultants are requ ired to provide training as part of t heir activit ies in Cambodia

IV2 Management

The appointment of a new Director in DICO in 2011 assuming the funct ions of TDSP Director and NIU Director considerably changed the pace quantit y and qualit y of activities un dertaken under all TRTA projects The appoi ntment of an Under Secretary of State to provide oversight to the department act ions has also meant a bet t er understan ding and ownersh ip of ElF activities by the Senior Management

The recent resignation of t he director and the appoin tment of a new under-secret ary of

state to follow both TDSP and ElF projects has created some uncertainty t hat were to be expected It is hoped that a new NIU director will be appointed very soon so as to reach the int ended objectives for 201 2

Addit ionally the recruitm nt of a dedicated full-time ElF project manager has contributed to in creasing the vis ibility of t he programme both in D ICO and outside with line m inist ries and development partners The support of a national finan ce consultant coached by the Finance Unit Chief and t he internat iona l finance adviser sponsored by the TDSP has

improved the timeliness and qual ity of f inancial management and fi nancial reporting t o DPs Finally the project coul d also count on t he in pu ts of an experience int ernational El F adviser w ho among other t hings contributed to the increased alignment of gove rnm ent priorities and DP funding as well as on the MoCs Ai d-for-Trade resource mobilization strategy

EI FTIER I-1ST SEMESTER 2012 NARRATIVE REPORT

Finally the project keeps benefiting tremendously from the wise gu idance of the Secretary of State appointed as EI F Donor Facil itator who has not spared efforts to promote

Ca mbodias Aid-for-Trade experience domestically and intern ation ally

This section wi ll not be complete if the political leadership of the Senior M inister Minister of Comm erce w as not mentioned Through regular reporting f rom D ICO and his Chai rmanship of t he SSCTDTR I the Senior Minister has been able to carefully monitor t he progress made in t he implementati on of t he program and to provide his tim ely advice and

instructi ons

IV 3 Budget

Considering t he very low level of activities in 2010 and 2011 under the ElF Tier 1 project t he budget for 2012 has been consi derab ly increased as it includes activities carried forward

from 2011 The draft ElF Tier 1 budget and work plan for 2012was com mun icated t o UNOPS in December 2011 It is incl uded as an annex to th is report

It is to be noted tha t DI CO plans to reduce the num ber of unforeseen ch anges brought to t il e work plan and budget plan duri ng the year as it has increased its plann ing skills and has been able to better differentiate ElF and TDSP support Part of th is can also be attributed to

the improved com munication with the ElF ES and the am bitious work plan for 2012

Consideri ng the project end date of May 2013 the current balance avai lable for activities has been divided in two a budget plan for 2012 and indicative budget for t he period running from January 1 ti ll t he scheduled end of the project

The t ab les below show the budget fo r year 2012 and the actua l disbursements for years 2010 and 2011 and t he disbursements for the period under review The amount of US$ 144800 disbursed in the f irst ha lf of year 2012is approximat ely 28 of the approved budget amounting t o US$518065 This demonstrates that compa red to the disbursements amount ing to US$192991 in t he previous year the NIU was able t o disbu rse 75 of the previous years disburse ment within six months of 2012

Having impl emented the El F Tier 1 activit ies for the first half of year 2012 t he NIU management foresees t hat some of the activities plan ned for 2012 may not materia lize and some new activi t ies may need to be undertaken in the second hal f of year 2012 Considering this and the pla nned OTIS update in the last quarter of 2012 the NIU management is currently undert aking reviews and discussions on how best t he operat ional and budget plan can be revised NIU management expects to submit a revi sed operational pl an and budget plan before the end of September 30 2012
