BO Road Sector Capacity Development Project

The objectives of the Road Sector Capacity Development Project for Bolivia are to enhance Bolivia's national road sector management and improve the condition of the country's primary paved road network targeted under the Project. There are two components to the project, the first component being capacity development. The additional activities listed below will be financed but through transactional-based disbursement (US$5 million): implementation of an integrated FM information system, strengthening ABC’s environmental and social management capacity concerning road works (US$1.0 million), and development of a rehabilitation planning strategy for the paved primary road network (US$1.5 million). The second component is the road contracting for paved primary network. Under this subcomponent, bidding documents for the rehabilitation and maintenance works contracts to be financed under part B.2 below will be prepared through, inter alia: (a) the provision of transactional advice and validation of design and costs for said works; and (b) the carrying out of awareness campaigns of the potential effects of using performance-based contracts.
