closed

The Municipal Development Project in the State of Parana aims to improve the capacity of municipalities to effectively assume their increased responsibilities under Brazil's new constitution by enabling them to efficiently utilize their significantly increased fiscal resources. The project supports a state wide program (PEDU) in Parana which includes two components: (i) institutional and human resources development, consisting of technical assistance, training, and equipment, to municipalities to strengthen their financial management and overall administration; and (ii) infrastructure investments consisting of street paving and lighting, sanitation, drainage, community facilities, and other eligible subprojects, including pilot projects for low-income self help housing construction.
