The visit helped facilitate the exchange of knowledge and fostered a deeper commitment to achieving the desired outcomes of the projects.
The project manager further explained that each staff member contributes significantly to the success of the projects. He highlighted that the visit was particularly beneficial in strengthening the team's sense of responsibility and commitment to their work, which directly impacts project success. This approach enables staff to be more engaged in their tasks and recognize the impact of their roles on the project's overall performance.
The 21-kilometer Enotofo Friendship PICOCC Rivers and Riverbank Development project incorporates various elements such as viewing platforms, water reservoirs, bridges, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, riverbank protection measures, cable cars, and parking facilities. These features were highlighted in different phases of the project, demonstrating the collaborative effort involved at each level of construction.
