DESCRIPTION

The overall objective of the project was to improve rural road infrastructure in El Salvador, to enable continuous traffic, giving priority to those areas that have potential for productive development in order to reverse the conditions that affect rural poverty and low economic activity in those areas. The project also strengthened the institutional capabilities of rural road management and was managed by AECID and IDB.
