The Government of Albania intends to apply for financing in the amount of

The Project Development Objective is to improve access to essential

the resident population in the hinterland of the project roads. The
project proposes to achieve this objective through the (i) the improvement
of priority sections of the secondary (regional) road network across
Albania; (ii) the improvement of priority sections of the local road
network across Albania; (iii) the introduction of the private sector in
the maintenance of the secondary and local road network; and (iv)
strengthening of the management of the secondary and local road network.
The project will include the following components:
Component 1 - The civil works associated with the improvement of priority
sections of the regional and commune road network. The interventions under
this component are expected to be either rehabilitation or reconstruction.
Under reconstruction, the whole pavement will be rebuilt with new asphalt
and the necessary sub-layers. For rehabilitation, the works will
constitute the construction of a new base and the provision of a new
asphalt surface, where necessary road safety infrastructure will be
included as well. Works are to be packaged in a range of sizes to be
determined.
Component 2 - Implementation and Institutional Support. The component will
finance consultants to provide: (i) detailed design of the road works;
(ii) technical assistance to ADF; and other technical and management
services to be identified.
