Development Plan

PHASE 1 (Months 0–6)

Technical Foundation & Concept Validation

Month 1

• Finalize baseline design parameters (river dike, canal dike, solar zones).

• Freeze technical assumptions to prevent scope drift.

• Structure detailed outline for Preliminary Technical Note.

Month 2

• Prepare 20–30 page Preliminary Technical Note covering:

  • Flood logic

  • Twin-bank hydraulic concept

  • Canal integration

  • Solar corridor integration

  • Preliminary cost ranges

  • Initial risk register

Month 3

• Produce engineering cross-sections and schematic layouts.

• Develop 1 km demonstration segment (concept-level).

• Engage 1–2 independent technical reviewers.

Month 4

• Refine earthwork volume estimates (1 km basis).

• Develop preliminary geotextile quantity assessment.

• Expand structured risk register.

Month 5

• Consolidate outputs into Institutional Technical Brief (Version 1).

• Prepare 1 km Demonstration Pack for consultation.

Month 6

• Initiate informal technical consultations with basin-level technocrats.

• Document consultation log and feedback.

Outcome of Phase 1:
Concept becomes technically defensible and reviewable.

PHASE 2 (Months 6–12)

Institutional Consultation & Structured Development Framing

Month 7

• Conduct structured technical consultation meetings (non-political).

• Record institutional feedback.

Month 8

• Develop basin risk mapping and historical flood data summary.

• Produce simplified hydraulic flow logic diagrams.

Month 9

• Initiate technical dialogue with Dutch engineering or geosynthetics experts.

• Explore knowledge integration potential (non-financial stage).

Month 10

• Draft Development Capital Concept Note (5–7 pages).

• Define development-phase budget categories.

Month 11

• Develop structured risk allocation matrix.

• Re-engage institutions with refined documentation.

Month 12

• Compile Phase 2 Dossier:

  • Technical brief

  • Consultation record

  • Risk framework

  • Basin mapping

  • Development capital logic

Outcome of Phase 2:
Project transitions from concept to structured pre-development initiative.

PHASE 3 (Months 12–18)

Pre-Feasibility & Governance Structuring

Month 13

• Prepare Institutional Development Brief (40–50 pages).

• Consolidate technical and capital frameworks.

Month 14

• Commission focused hydraulic screening study (3–5 km zone).

• Conduct preliminary geotechnical screening.

Month 15

• Develop structured capital stack framework:

  • Development capital

  • Core flood infrastructure

  • Solar layer

  • Tourism layer

  • Offtaker zones

Month 16

• Draft governance and concession framework concepts.

• Refine risk allocation matrix.

Month 17

• Update institutional stakeholders with pre-feasibility findings.

• Seek acknowledgement of continued technical dialogue.

Month 18

• Prepare 15-page DFI Exploratory Dialogue Brief.
  
  

Outcome of Phase 3:
Project reaches structured pre-development status with screening-level validation.

PHASE 4 (Months 18–24)

Pilot Definition & Development Capital Structuring

Month 19

• Define fixed Pilot Segment (1–3 km).

• Lock pilot technical scope and deliverables.

Month 20

• Commission formal hydraulic pre-feasibility for pilot zone.

• Conduct environmental and social screening assessment.

Month 21

• Finalize detailed development-phase budget.

• Define development capital structure (instrument options).

Month 22

• Prepare formal Development Dialogue Package.

• Initiate structured exploratory discussions with aligned institutions.

Month 23

• Refine governance, risk-sharing, and concession concepts.

• Develop milestone-based development capital deployment plan.

Month 24

• Present Pilot-Ready Infrastructure Package.

• Decision gate: proceed to detailed feasibility phase.

Outcome of Phase 4:
Pilot-ready climate-resilient river infrastructure initiative prepared for structured development capital engagement.
