| Summary: | The objectives of the project - a credit
of US$ 28.5 million equivalent over the period 2001-05 -
were to: (i) improve decentralized local government and
capacity; (ii) establish participatory and decentralized
mechanisms for selecting, funding and implementing rural
community investment programs; (iii) strengthen national
institutions supporting decentralization; and (iv) implement
basic infrastructure in a selected number of rural
communities. The project was designed as an Adaptable
Program of Lending (APL) to support a three-phase program
over a 12-year period. The first 4-year period would be used
to test and establish mechanisms for sustainable
decentralized infrastructure planning and implementation,
strengthen the capacity of rural communities to operate and
maintain investments and reinforce national institutions
responsible for decentralization. The first phase was also
to include a program to improve intra-rural community roads
and to test maintenance strategies. |
