Development Policies Clause Samples
The Development Policies clause sets out the rules and standards that must be followed during the planning, design, and construction phases of a project. It typically outlines requirements such as compliance with local regulations, adherence to environmental guidelines, and the use of approved materials or methods. By establishing clear expectations and procedures, this clause helps ensure that the development proceeds in a lawful, safe, and consistent manner, reducing the risk of disputes or non-compliance.

Development Policies for the Aviation Sector in Sri Lanka and the Priority of the Project The government of Sri Lanka has aspiration to make Sri Lanka an aviation hub in the South Asia by constructing airport terminals that employ the latest technologies. Sri Lanka's Tourism Development Strategy (2011-2016) aims to achieve four million annual tourists visits by 2020 (1.275 million in 2013) by expanding international air routes and inviting in new airline companies.

Development Policies for the Power Sector in Indonesia and the Priority of the Project With the issuance of Ministerial Regulation on National Energy Policy No.983/2004, the Government of Indonesia aimed to utilize coal as primary energy which is abundant in the country, instead of oil or other exportable energy. In addition, Presidential Regulation No.5 /2006 sets a target for an energy mix that coal will account for 33 percent by 2025. In addition, under the second “Crash Program” established in January 2010, approximately 10,000MW of power development was planned with the aim of increasing power supply, diversifying power resources and introducing renewable energy including geothermal. The Indramayu Coal Fired Power Plant Project (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) is mentioned in the said program and will supply power to Jakarta Metropolitan Area and West Java province, load center of Java-Bali system in order to stabilize the electricity supply. Making use of the abundant supplies of coal in the country effectively, the Project is consistent with the energy mix policies.
Development Policies for the Haor Area in Bangladesh and the Priority of the Project As the nation's top-ranked development strategy, the 6th Five-Year Plan (2011/2012–2015/2016) defines the Haor area as one requiring special consideration due to poor accessibility and vulnerability to natural disasters, including floods. On the other hand, the area is also identified as a promising one with lots of room for productivity improvements in terms of promoting agricultural and fishing activities. The area is thus targeted for advancement in these areas. The Bangladesh Haor and Wetland Development Board was established as a coordinating institution with the purpose of overcoming the vulnerabilities of the Haor area and promoting comprehensive regional development highlighting the area's potential. In April 2012, the Master Plan of Haor Areas was formulated as a comprehensive development plan for next two decades in the area. The Master Plan identifies flash flood measures, measures to combat wave erosion, drainage improvements, road and river navigation improvements, agricultural and fishery promotions as necessary and highly prioritized. The Haor Flood Management and Livelihood Improvement Project ("this project") will implement these measures as a part of the Master Plan.
