ProjectObjectives: The proposed project is principally aimed at strengthening MOPC's organization and promoting team-work at its highest level, thus, improving its capacity to deliver good roads and a well maintainednetwork. This objectivewould be accomplished through the financingof selectivetechnical assistanceand train- ing and of civil works. The latter would, in addition, ease the problems of rapid urbanization, and: (a) reduce environmental hazards and the nuisance caused by frequent floods along Asun- ci6n's ringroad; (b) expedite exports by facilitating the use of alternativeports, (c) lower the costs of trucking soybeanexports to the Brazilian border; (d) enhance DH highway design and roadworks planning capability, (e) improve environmentalas- sessment skills at the ministry; and (f) assist in establishinga National VehicleRegistry. The proposed project is framed within the Bank's country assis- tance strategy of addressingthe physical constraints and social pressures arising out of the rural-urban migration that results from the high rural populationgrowth of Paraguay and a declin- ing agriculturalfrontier. The strategy calls also for support to exports by upgrading the transport infrastructure. After a seven year lending gap in Paraguay, Bank activitiesmust also be cognizantof, and blend in with the activitiesof other do- nors. The proposed project would complementthe considerable assistance included in parallel IDB and OECF projects: these deal with improvingthe nationalhighway network and improving maintenance, and are based on developing stronger in-house capabilities at MOPC to carry them out (Annex 1). The tech- nical assistance in the project would move in a different direc- tion, however, namelyto help MOPC organize itself to contract with the private sector the maintenance,construction, planning, engineering services, and other tasks MOPC has to carry out. This approach would allow MOPC staff to coordinateand man- age the program rather than do it themselves. An initialstep in the new direction is to develop stronger internal team work and coordinationin the decision making and implementation,while at the same time ensuring that systems are in place that allow efficient and effective performance. - iv - Project Description: The proposed project would include: A.

These methodologies —the Methodology for the Evaluation of the Production Integration Potential of IIRSA’s Integration and Development Hubs [Pacheco, López, 2006], and the Methodology for the Promotion of the Development of Value Added Logistics Services (SLVAs) in IIRSA’s Hubs [ALG, Farromeque, 2006]— were partially applied to the Asunción-Paranaguá and Valparaíso-Buenos Aires Project Groups (GPs, in Spanish), in the case of the production integration methodology, and to the La Paz-Tacna-Lima Project Group, in the case of the methodology for the development of logistics services. The development of these two methodologies proved that it was necessary to approach the analysis of production integration and logistics issues from an integrated perspective. The integration of both methodologies and the complementation of aspects relevant for IIRSA, D partially covered by the instruments already mentioned, would enhance data collection and E consultation to different actors, creating significant potential for a structured dialogue.
