Albania has made considerable progress
since transition in overcoming the legacy of nearly forty
years of autarky. But despite significant progress and some
of the fastest rates of gross domestic product (GDP) growth
in South East Europe, it remains one of the impoverished
countries in Europe, with the majority of the population,
and the majority of the poor, living in rural areas. These
areas, despite the acknowledged links between infrastructure
provision and poverty reduction, are currently poorly served
by infrastructure, with the majority of the secondary and
local road network in poor condition, and often impassable
in inclement weather. Accordingly, in 2006, the Prime
Minister established a task force to prepare a program to
improve a significant proportion of the secondary and local
network and requested the assistance of the World Bank to
prepare, and contribute to the financing, of such a program.
This transport note summarizes the experience of the World
Bank and details the key factors underpinning what has
became a very successful program, together with the main
lessons learned. |
