The Loan became effective on October 9th, 2018. Disbursement to date amounts to US$27.75 million, executed under Component 1 (Road Infrastructure) corresponding to the signed contracts for Group 1 civil works (total of US$130 million). Social management of the project remains satisfactory including the implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Plan that has a strong gender perspective, while Environmental management has been moderately satisfactory. One of the Project's objectives is to incorporate resilience into the planning of transport. In this regard, all culverts and river crossings included in the ongoing and future civil works have been checked for its climate resilience design. In addition, the Borrower has been collaborating with the Bank and a group of experts that is undertaking a study to model the risks and vulnerabilities to flooding of the multimodal transport network of Argentina. The group of experts is currently finalizing the study and the final outcome of the collaboration, a visualization tool that allows to prioritize investments is currently being installed both in the National Roads Directorate (DNV) and in the Ministry of Transport. Following the review of the terms of reference by Bank's experts on logistics, the Borrower is ready to bid a series of logistics studies that will look for solutions to increase efficiency in the logistics sector of Argentina.
