Results Framework Analysis Project Development Objectives (from Project Appraisal Document) The objectives of the Project were: (a) to restore roads damaged by Hurricane Mitch, which struck Honduras in October 1998; (b) to improve trade corridors; and (c) to establish a sustainable and accountable financial and institutional set-up for the road sub- sector. The performance indicators to measure the achievement of the project#s objectives were: (i) verification that traffic volumes and vehicle operating costs on the upgraded roads meet those projected in the feasibility studies; (ii) implementation of the road ii maintenance pilot project through micro-enterprises; (iii) verification that the Road Fund is financing the maintenance of at least 70% of the national network by the end of the project (main, secondary and feeder roads); (iv) kilometers of main and rural roads and meters of bridges to be reconstructed / rehabilitated Revised Project Development Objectives (as approved by original approving authority) There were no revisions to the project development objectives (PDO). The project was restructured January 29, 2007 without changes in the PDO. Project key indicators were not revised with the following exception: As part of the first amendment to the credit agreement countersigned December 2005, GOH agreed to the following changes to the Implementation Letter: (A) (i) funds were to be allocated to the Road Fund sufficient to meet at least respectively of 40% in 2001, 55% in 2002, 65% in 2003 and 70% in 2004 of the maintenance needs on the national network; (ii) maintenance on the main road network will be prioritized to ensure 100% of the requirements are met from 2006 onwards; (iii) further actions will be taken to assure 100% of national road network requirements are met by 2010. (B) (i) number of micro-enterprises providing routine maintenance
