SL-IDP Transp (FY06)

This buyer is a part of World Bank.
SL-IDP Transp (FY06) operates in Sierra Leone.
This paper is about the Infrastructure Development Project (IDP -Transport) for Sierra Leone. The additional financing is required to meet a cost overrun that will enable the project to meet its initial development objective of assisting the recipient to rehabilitate selected priority roads, port, and airport facilities; and to support the regulatory and institutional reform and effective management of the recipient's road, port, and airport sectors. The additional financing will also be used to meet the gap due to increase in International Development Association (IDA) financing to 100 percent (from 95 percent) for works and goods for the Sierra Leone road authority. During the period of civil unrest (1995-1999) Sierra Leone's transport infrastructure suffered from widespread destruction and lack of maintenance. Seriously degraded roads left whole sections of the country and isolated communities cut off from the rest of the country, while the Port of Freetown and Freetown International Airport underwent successive rounds of destruction, endangering the country's economic lifelines to the outside world. As the security situation stabilized in 2001, the Bank and other donor programs were reoriented toward emergency reconstruction and rehabilitation on the road network and restoration of port and airport operations. The 2004 Food Security Strategy for Sierra Leone identified poor road access as a "key factor inhibiting marketing of food". The country is still re-establishing connectivity and food security remains an issue. The draft poverty diagnostic dated March 2008 finds that health clinics are, on average, 73 minutes from where households are located (in rural areas, it takes 100 minutes or more to reach a clinic or hospital) and that distances to schools are an impediment to enrollment, particularly for poorer households. The accessibility indicator in rural areas remains low and is currently estimated at 33 percent.
