PROVINC DEV PROJ

closed

The project's objective is to provide financial support and incentives for provinces to undertake their own adjustment programs consistent with the national adjustment program. The project will finance a "time-slice" of eligible provincial expenditures, and its components are: (a) institutional development, including technical assistance, training and equipment to attain the project's objectives at both the central and provincial government levels; (b) project administration, for the recurrent costs of project implementation at the national and provincial levels; and (c) physical investments, encompassing public infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, drainage, water supply and sanitation) and facilities (e.g., schools, health posts, and bus terminals). These investments include maintenance programs, rehabilitation of existing works, completion of unfinished works, and new investments.
