57231 STATUS OF PROJECTS IN EXECUTION FY10 SOPE LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN REGION Guatemala Operations Policy and Country Services OCTOBER 03, 2010 Introduction The Status of Projects in Execution (SOPE) Report for FY10 provides information on all IBRD, IDA, and trust funded projects that were active as of June 30, 2010. The World Bank has issued a SOPE Report every year as an internal communication to the Board of Executive Directors. In accordance with the Bank's revised disclosure policy, since FY02, the SOPE Report is available to the public. The report is intended to bridge the gap in information available to the public between the Project Appraisal Document or Program Document, disclosed after the Bank approves a project, and the Implementation Completion Report, disclosed after the project closes. In addition to the project progress description, the FY10 SOPE report1 contains project level comparisons of disbursement estimates and actual disbursements, and a table showing the loan/credit/grant amount and disbursements to date. 1 Notes: Amounts and Graphs for loans/credits/grants in currencies other than U.S. dollars may not match exactly due to exchange rate fluctuations over the life of the project. Disbursement graphs are not included for Development Policy Operations, which provide quick-disbursing financing to support policy and institutional reforms. For these operations, funds are disbursed in one or more stages (tranches), released when the borrower complies with agreed prior actions. Projects which are not yet effective may not have a planned disbursement schedule and thus will not include a graph. Guatemala Project Name (ID): GT SECOND RURAL AND MAIN ROADS PROJ. (P055085) Country: Guatemala Board Approval Date: 05/06/2003 Midterm Review Date: 04/27/2007 Closing Date: 06/30/2011 Loan/Credit/Grant Number: IBRD-71690, TF-26766 Sector (s): Roads and highways (90%), Sub-national government administration (10%) Theme (s): Rural services and infrastructure (67%), Participation and civic engagement (33%) Project Development Objectives: The objectives are to: (a) improve rural access on a sustainable basis; (b) develop institutional capacity at the local and central levels; and (c) generate employment in rural areas. The project was restructured, or received Additional Financing during FY 10 Two restructurings took place: the first was to increase the financing percentage on works carried out by the National Municipal Development Institute (INFOM) from 75% to 85%; and the second was to reallocate previously unallocated funds between works carried out by INFOM and works carried out by the General Highway Directorate. Progress toward achieving development objective(s): The closing date of the loan was extended to June 30, 2011 at the end of FY09. This increases the probability that the project development objectives could be substantially realized. However, it is unlikely that the full extent of the planned road improvements and associated access improvements will be completed because of past implementation delays and cost increases. The restructurings carried out in FY10 do however help increase resources of the loan to contribute towards realizing this objective. Action is now in hand to strengthen municipal road management and maintenance necessary for the institutional development and employment generation objectives to be realized.

Enhanced tools to support both financial management functions (SICOIN-GL) and revenue administration (SERVICIOS-GL) at the municipal level have been developed and tested and are being implemented. Actions to fully absorb responsibilities over the operation of these systems by the Ministry of Finance were accelerated through its restructuring and creation of specialized units to perform needed normative and administrative functions to make SIAF and GUATECOMPRAS sustainable over time.
