| Summary: | The project, with an IDA credit of US$30
million, and a total of $60 million was implemented by the
government between 1998 and 2004. It was jointly financed by
KFW $7m; IFAD, $10; GoG $7.1m; District Assemblies $3.0m and
beneficiaries $2.9m. Its main objective was to support the
government's efforts to reduce poverty and enhance the
quality of life of the rural poor through the increased
transfer of technical and financial resources for the
development of basic village-level infrastructure that could
be maintained by the beneficiaries. It also supported the
capacity building of District Assemblies to better plan and
manage these investments. The project had 4 components: (i)
Rural water infrastructure; (ii) Rural transport
infrastructure; (iii) Rural post-harvest infrastructure; and
(iv) Institutional strengthening. |
