The Ceara Regional Economic Development Project has been effective since March 2010. After a slow start, Project implementation has progressed steadily over the last two years owing to a concerted effort by the Government and the Bank team. The restructuring helped simplify and refocus the projects and improve implementation. Disbursements have followed planned amounts and reached 95 percent by the end of October 2016, and the most recent implementation support mission, carried out in August 2016, observed continued progress and quality construction of civil works. Implementation Progress. Since the last ISR, urban upgrading works have been nearly completed in the Bairro Seminario area in Crato, including lighting, sewer network connections, and a series of plazas and public spaces that are often seen bustling with families. Local residents, nearly all of which are low income, broadly praised the works, which have markedly improved quality of life in the community. Similarly, improvements to drainage and stabilization of the slope on which the community rests have reduced vulnerability to the flooding and landslides that had been regular occurrences before the works. The revitalization of the Bairro Seminario can serve as a model for Brazil and beyond. Construction of the first of three sections of the Juazeiro do Norte Ring Road has been completed and the other two sections are progressing well. The Ring Road will alleviate congestion in the city center and its proximity to the existing Cariri Metro line, coupled with effective zoning measures, can promote further investment in the area. The State of Ceara and Bank teams continue to work closely to finalize all pending resettlement activities and works before the close of the Project. Overall, the project has made several investments to improve infrastructure and community facilities in historic areas and neighborhoods in different cities of the region, the project improved access and quality of facilities in the Geological Park of Araripe that will help boost tourism in the region, critical investments in ring roads will help ease traffic, improve access and foster economic development in the Cariri Region. Project Closing. The final Project closing date is November 30, 2016 and the Government and Bank are ensuring that all pending resettlement activities and civil works are completed according to plan. The Bank team will continue supervision of the resettlement activities and ensure the completion of all works after completion if necessary, preparations are underway for the ICR, which will summarize the overall impacts of the project in the region.
