e national road infrastructure and
enhanced public sector capacity to plan, regulate and
monitor transport and logistics services. The funding level
of the Program is not sufficient to improve, in absolute
terms, the road network condition on the National Road
Network as a whole. In this context, the Program is expected
to ensure that the condition of the National Road Network
remains a given threshold, as reflected in the key results.
Such results are deemed to be the best achievable outcome at
network level when compared not only to the past declining
trend shown but also to counterfactual situation prevailing
in the absence of support to the Program. The Program will
be implemented by: (a) the Road Department of the ministry
of transport and public works, and (b) the Uruguay Road
Corporation. The CVU (Corporacion Vial del Uruguay - Uruguay
Road Corporation) is linked to the MTOP (Ministerio de
Transporte y Obras Publicas - Ministry of Transport and
Public Works) through: (a) a concession agreement, making
CVU responsible for managing part of Uruguay's main
road network, including highway maintenance, rehabilitation,
and, as needed, development; and (b) a technical assistance
agreement, through which DNV provides technical and
administrative support to CVU. The Program is implemented
through contracts to the private sector (road and bridge
rehabilitation, performance-based rehabilitation,
maintenance or performance-based maintenance) or through
routine maintenance works executed by DNV (Direccion
Nacional de Vialidad - Road DepartmenT) directly. Usually,
except for bridge rehabilitation and reconstruction
(design-build contracts), design and supervision functions
required by Program-related activities are carried out by
DNV staff. Mostrar menos -

entation of policies aimed at strengthening
resilience to external shocks and improving growth
opportunities, with a focus on poor and vulnerable groups.
This DPL for US$260 million is to be implemented as a single
operation with a Deferred Drawdown Option (DDO). Uruguay
recorded a strong macro economic performance over the past
nine years. Real gross domestic product (GDP) growth
averaged more than 5 percent per year in the period the 2002
debt crisis. The year 2011 was the ninth consecutive year of
GDP growth, marking one of the longest growth periods in the
country's history. Prudent macroeconomic policies,
improvements in structural areas and favorable external
economic conditions, such as buoyant demand for its main
export products and a booming regional economy, have
contributed to the strong economic performance of Uruguay
and helped protect the economy during the 2008/2009 crisis.
Private consumption continues to be the main driver of the
economy. As in previous years, with the exception of 2009,
when GDP growth was driven by the external sector, private
consumption was the main driver of economic growth. Private
consumption grew by 7.6 percent in real terms in 2011,
accounting for 6.1 percentage points of total growth. Gross
domestic investment, fueled by still high levels of foreign
direct investment (FDI) inflows (4.7 percent of GDP in
2011), grew by 7 percent and explained 1.4 percentage points
of GDP growth. Similar to previous years, the contribution
from the external sector was negative, reducing GDP growth
by 2.1 percentage points. Mostrar menos -

e national road infrastructure and
enhanced public sector capacity to plan, regulate and
monitor transport and logistics services. Road maintenance
and rehabilitation works are expected to improve road
quality and to decrease road users' transport costs.
The project would also include institutional strengthening
activities, aimed at supporting the Ministry of Transport
and Public Works (Ministerio de Transporte y obras Publicas,
MTOP) in its planning and regulatory duties. It is
considered that the potential environmental and social
impact of the program is low. The rehabilitation and
maintenance works were carried out in rural areas and the
main impacts will occur during established periods, that is,
rehabilitation (under 2 years) and maintenance (over 2
years). In both cases the presence of contractors and
machinery can extend for several years in the same sector as
after the rehabilitation contract, they can hire the same
company or another for a maintenance contract. The main
social and environmental impacts associated with the program
are works related to rehabilitation works of roads and
bridges, operation of camps, asphalt plants and lending
sites (quarries), the generation of hazardous wastes (oils,
lubricants, fuels) and inconvenience to the residents
(noise, dust, risk of accidents, social relationships with contractors). Mostrar menos -

the expansion of the full time school
model. There are three components to the project, the first
component being expansion and rehabilitation of school
infrastructure. This component consists of the following: i)
expansion of the full-time school model through: (a) the
construction, transformation and/or rehabilitation of
approximately forty (40) schools located primarily in
disadvantaged locations and selected in accordance with the
criteria set forth in the operational manual; and (b) the
acquisition of equipment and education materials for the
full-time schools mentioned in (a) herein; and ii) carrying
out of preventive and corrective maintenance activities in
full-time schools. The second component is the strengthening
of learning systems. This component will help achieve the
Project Development Objective (PDO) through strengthening
systems for improved learning and instruction, in the
classroom and beyond. The establishment of a new entity
within Preschool and Primary Education Council (CEIP) to
provide systematic and permanent in-service teacher training
to the entire teaching body in preschool and primary grades,
as well as school directors and inspectors, will lead to a
more efficient operation of teacher training by National
Administration for Public Education (ANEP). Finally, the
third component is the monitoring, evaluation and project management. Mostrar menos -

For projects requiring the displacement of population, there
is a close relationship between technical stages of the work
and the formulation and implementation of the Resettlement
Plan. This will ensure the availability of land and
resolution of the damages that do not involve acquisition of
property at the time of starting the construction works and
give the time necessary to implement the resettlement plan.
The following describes the relationship between
construction phases and activities of the Plan: potential
impacts will be identified in order to determine the social
feasibility of the work and the main problems faced; the
Plan shall assess the involvement of land and population to
