| Summary: | The project ($ 15 million plus another
$18 million - 1999-2003 ) had four objectives: (i) improved
access of poor rural populations to social and economic
infrastructure; (ii) on a pilot basis, empowerment of poor
rural communities and/or communes to identify, organize,
manage funds and implement sub-projects responsive to
community needs; (iii) employment creation; and (iv)
increased capacity of the private sector, local small
contractors, artisans, skilled labor, and NGOs. Madagascar
was struck by a series of cyclones that damaged basic
infrastructure over the first three months of 2000. As part
of the multi-pronged approach to assist the country in its
rehabilitation efforts, in July 2000, the World Bank's
Board approved a Supplemental Credit of $18 million - there
was no change, however, in the project's original objectives. |
