Description

The program is consistent with the Bank's strategy (GN-2327-1, GN-2570 and the Country Strategy), defined by four areas: (i) productivity and infrastructure; (ii) Social and Productive Inclusion; (iii) Institutional Strengthening and Modernization of the State, with emphasis on subnational governments. The program contributes to the strategy by (a) improving access to productive regions; (b) improving the conditions of productivity and exports; (c) reduces the number and severity of road accidents; and (d) improve institutional capacity in the State highway administration. The program is consistent with two of the pillars of the new corporate strategy of the Bank (AB-2764): (i) reducing poverty and increasing equity by reducing transportation costs and easier access to employment opportunities , education and social services; and (ii) contribution to regional integration by providing better access from the productive areas of the country to export ports.
