Annex 2: Transportation Checklist

Based on needs assessment

Transportation Assessment Checklist

√ Is there an inventory of vehicles assigned to the NHRI? Does it conform to the original acquisitions list that was based on the needs assessment?

√ Are types of vehicles appropriate? (It is not usually necessary to have 4-wheel drive to deliver correspondence locally, for example.)

√ Are there vehicles assigned to Commissioners, senior officials and investigators and other staff required to undertake work in the field?

√ Is necessary field work given priority?

√ Are travel and fuel purchase logs handed in to the controller or finance officer for vehicle usage by drivers at the end of each day?

√ Flexibility of usage: Can vehicles destined for commissioners be used by staff for investigations or emergency situation when required?

√ Is there a budget for routine maintenance and is routine maintenance actually carried out?
