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 -

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 project will reach approximately 10,000 direct beneficiaries, who reside mainly in marginal urban areas. The primary beneficiaries will be students, teachers and principals that are converted from existing Escuelas de Tiempo Completo (ETC), and the students and their families living in areas of high urbanization where new schools will be built. Adverse environmental effects of the Project, if any, will be minor and localized. The potential environmental impacts of the construction generally can be direct or indirect. While a direct impact may change the topography of the land for the implementation of a project, the indirect impacts are the changes that are induced into the environment, population, the use of land and environmental resources. Potential adverse impacts include: Air pollution, air emissions (eg. Dust, odors, toxic fumes) and increased noise; Soil contamination due to poor management of construction waste and effluents; Loss or alteration of soil chemical and physical characteristics, its use and generation of erosion of instability; Sedimentation of water surfaces; Contamination of water sources and surface. Mostrar menos -

The project has four components. (1) Investing in reliable water supply infrastructure component will finance the construction, expansion and rehabilitation of water facilities to increase the reliability of OSE's water systems and adapt to future climatic challenges. (2) Managing water and energy more efficiently component will finance water and energy conservation programs by optimizing OSE's current and future operational performance. (3) Preparing for the future: management, planning and risk component will finance management, planning and risk assessment activities to improve OSE's social reach, environmental management, and economic efficiency.

The development objective of the new project is to improve the sustainability of water services and sanitation of OSE: (i) increasing the reliability, efficiency and resilience of the water and sanitation and (ii) strengthening its management capacity. No major potentially adverse environmental impacts are anticipated with this project as works will be conducted on disturbed land where sensitive natural habitats and cultural resources have not been found. Impacts are considered site-specific and reversible in nature for which mitigating measures will be applied. Mostrar menos -
