D. Effectiveness of the Program: After completion of the sub-projects above mentioned, severa\ field trip inspections have been madE~ 11\ order to determine the effectiveness of the access roads built ur1der the Program. An engineering inspection was made in August 1974, to ev:luate in the fieid the present situation of the roads from the maintenance point of , I l . , , view as well as from the usage and economic standpoint. A brief .summary .. . .. ' of the sub-projects follows:.

The Governirent of Honduras is undertaking compiementary investment programs for highway construction and improvement in most of the areas of influence of the farm-to-market roads built under this AID Loan. It is expected that during the next five years the Farm-to-Market Access Road Program will start producing the benefits contemplated when this Loan was made.
