WASHINGTON, January 11, 2017 – The World Bank Board of Directors approved a US$ 230 million loan today to finance the paving of the highway between San Ignacio de Velasco and San José de Chiquitos. This project will improve accessibility and connectivity and reduce transport times and costs for nearly 125,000 inhabitants of the region and other users of the route. This section of the road forms part of the Chile-Bolivia-Brazil Bi-Oceanic Corridor. The Project for the Highway Corridor to Connect Santa Cruz will improve access conditions of four municipalities in the short term: San José, San Rafael, San Miguel and San Ignacio, where most of the population – 61 percent – identify themselves as belonging to the Chiquitano indigenous community, and a smaller percentage to the Ayoreo indigenous community. These communities’ main economic activities are agriculture, livestock production and forestry. Highway improvements will provide direct benefits to these populations, including lower transportation costs, which will be reflected in better prices for their products and improved access to goods and services. “The effort Bolivia is making to improve its transportation structure is crucial for providing efficient, reliable access to markets for farmers and to services and employment opportunities for the general population,” said Alberto Rodríguez, World Bank Director for Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. “The benefits of this project are for all users of the route, but especially for the inhabitants of the remote rural areas of this eastern region of the country.” The project has strategic importance for economic development and poverty reduction in an area with one of the highest concentrations of production in the country, including agriculture, processing of sugar, oils, soy and dairy products; and manufacturing of construction materials, furniture and leather goods. Additionally, it will complement the “Mission Circuit,” which UNESCO selected as a World Heritage Site and which promotes tourism in the region. The project will also facilitate travel to Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, a natural reserve located in northeastern Santa Cruz Department. In the long term, as a key section of the Bi-Oceanic Corridor, the highway will contribute to the diversification and expansion of production, trade and services, which are critical factors for job creation, and consequently, for increasing income of Bolivian families. “Under the Current Country Partnership Framework, the World Bank is providing resources to Bolivia, mainly to finance projects in rural development, irrigation, water and sanitation, urban development and basic services, which will directly and indirectly benefit an estimated 4.5 million Bolivians, most of them low-income,” said Nicola Pontara, World Bank Representative in Bolivia. Financing will total US$ 230 million, of which US$ 200 million correspond to a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), with a maturity period of 16 years and a grace period of 13.5 years. The remaining US$ 30 million are a loan from the International Development Fund (IDF), which has a maturity period of 24 years and a grace period of five years. The IBRD and IDF are entities of the World Bank Group that provide financing to governments of their member countries. Learn more about the work of the World Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean: www.worldbank.org/lac  Visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbankBe updated via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/BancoMundialLAC  For our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/BancoMundialLAC  

  WASHINGTON, 11 de enero de 2017 – El Directorio Ejecutivo del Banco Mundial aprobó hoy un préstamo de US$ 230 millones para financiar la pavimentación de la carretera entre San Ignacio de Velasco y San José de Chiquitos, la cual mejorará la accesibilidad y la conectividad, y reducirá el tiempo y costo de transporte para cerca de 125.000 habitantes de la región y otros usuarios de la ruta. El tramo forma parte del corredor bioceánico Chile – Bolivia – Brasil. Se espera que el Proyecto del Corredor Carretero de Conexión de Santa Cruz mejore, en el corto plazo, las condiciones de acceso de cuatro municipios: San José, San Rafael, San Miguel y San Ignacio, donde la mayoría de la población – 61 por ciento – se auto identifica como parte del pueblo indígena chiquitano y en menor porcentaje del pueblo indígena ayoreo. Las principales actividades económicas de dichas comunidades son la agricultura, ganadería y silvicultura y las mejoras en la carretera les brindarán beneficios directos como la reducción del costo de transporte que se reflejará en mejores precios para sus productos y mayor acceso a bienes y servicios. “Es muy importante el esfuerzo que está haciendo Bolivia para mejorar su infraestructura de transporte, esencial para dar acceso eficiente y confiable a mercados para los productores y a servicios y oportunidades de empleo para la población en general”, señaló Alberto Rodríguez, Director del Banco Mundial para  Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela. “Los beneficios de este proyecto son para todos los usuarios de la ruta pero, sobre todo, para los habitantes de zonas rurales remotas de la región oriental del país”. El proyecto tiene importancia estratégica para el desarrollo económico y la reducción de la pobreza en una zona en la que se encuentra una de las mayores concentraciones productivas del país con actividades como la agricultura, producción de azúcar, aceites, soya y derivados de la leche; y la fabricación de materiales de construcción, muebles y productos de cuero. Adicionalmente, completará el “Circuito Misional”, designado por Unesco como Patrimonio Histórico de la Humanidad, que genera un importante movimiento turístico en la región y el tránsito hacia el Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado, reserva natural ubicada en el noreste del departamento de Santa Cruz. En el largo plazo, como parte fundamental del corredor bioceánico, la carretera contribuirá a la diversificación y expansión de la producción, comercio y servicios que son factores críticos en la generación de empleo y, por tanto, en el incremento de los ingresos de las familias bolivianas. “Bajo el Marco de Alianza con el País (MAP) vigente, el Banco Mundial proporciona recursos a Bolivia principalmente para financiar proyectos en las áreas de desarrollo rural, riego, agua y saneamiento, desarrollo urbano y servicios básicos con los que se estima beneficiar directa e indirectamente más de 4,5 millones de bolivianos, en su mayoría de escasos recursos”, afirmó Nicola Pontara, Representante del Banco Mundial en Bolivia. El financiamiento asciende a un total de US$ 230 millones, de los cuales US$ 200 millones corresponden a un préstamo del Banco Internacional de Reconstrucción y Fomento (BIRF) con un plazo de vencimiento de 16 años y un periodo de gracia de 13 años y medio. Los restantes US$30 millones provienen de un crédito de la Asociación Internacional de Fomento (AIF), cuyo plazo de vencimiento es de 24 años con un periodo de gracia de cinco años. El BIRF y la AIF son entidades del Grupo Banco Mundial que otorgan financiamiento a los gobiernos de sus países miembros.
