| Project Detail |
The Project consists of developing urban mobility, sanitation and communication programs in various cities alongside the Trans-Amazonian highway in Pará state. The Project includes three main components:
i) Drainage and Road Paving program intends to pave 186 km of existing urban dirt roads (streets) and manage pluvial draining in 12 municipalities to improve the urban condition of the cities;
ii) Sanitation program intends to build 5 waste disposal sites serving 12 municipalities to improve waste management in the state of Pará allowing communities and cities to have adequate final destinations for solid waste, thereby improving sustainability;
iii) Telecommunications program intends to extend fiber optic internet connectivity to 29 municipalities (a total cable length of 1,000km) that currently do not have proper internet access.
NDB will finance the Project through a Project Loan with Sovereign Guarantee from the Federative Republic of Brazil of up to USD 50 million to the state of Pará to support the drainage and road paving program.
The Project is estimated to be implemented over 3 years between 2018 and 2021. The procurement for the Project will be conducted through a competitive and transparent bidding process. |
