Description
Description | The Inland Waterways Project will: (a) improve Inland Waterways (IWW) management and introduce organizational and financial reforms in line with a market economy; (b) expand IWW capacity by widening and deepening channels to improve navigation, which requires constructing dams to increase the water level; (c) improve connections between IWW and land transport services by appropriately equipping IWW ports; (d) generate hydroelectric power by utilizing the indifferential heads at the dams; and (e) enhance the capabilities of the IWW entities. Two of the project provinces - Hunan and Guangxi - are relatively poor, and project investments are expected to promote economic development there by helping to create new jobs, increase incomes and reduce poverty. The project's multisectoral strategy is consistent with the financial goals of the Government's IWW reforms policies, and addresses the lack of intersectoral coordination that reduced the IWW network in the past. |
