Implementation Status and Key Decisions
The closing date of the project was extended to May 31, 2015. During the last 6 months the implementing agency focused its attention towards the
implementation of remaining institutional strengthening measures and completion of civil works, under the strong leadership of the Minister in INSEP.
Key results achieved through this project include: (i) the acceptance of Honduras in the CoST initiative - a targeted initiative to improve the value for
money spent on public infrastructure by increasing transparency in the delivery of construction projects; (ii) several activities promoted by the Multi
Stakeholder Group created under the CoST umbrella (with representatives from civil society, private sector and Government) to implement the initiative
and allow the participation of civil society on the verification of works implemented in the road sector; (ii) the official launch of a Contract Management
System and a Complaints Handling Mechanism System that will help improve transparency in the road sector (iii) the official launch of the so-called
"Caminos para una Vida Mejor" program, which based on the successful Microenterprises experience implemented through the project in the unpaved
network, has been scaled up to cover also the paved network and will contribute to improve the cost-efficiency in the preservation and management of
the national road assets. Under this program 32 Microenterprises have been created (16 financed with project funds) to maintain some 1,300 km of
roads, generating 254 direct emplyments (30% for women); (iv) the improvement of 127 km of roads (double surface treatment); (v) the reconstruction
of five bridges (vi) adressing emergency repairs caused by flooding in one road section (geologic faults contract) and achieving 80% progress in the
remaining faults contract still under execution; (v) the procurement of key equipment to modernize INSEP's information technology; (vi) improved staff
capacity in areas related to safeguards management, bridges, planning, project design through training provided and goods procured; (vii) the
implementation of technical audits carried out for the three main roads work contracts; (viii) and the implementation of HIV/AIDs clauses on the three
main road works contracts.

La Esperanza-Camasca) plus some 5 km addition foreseen under the emergency improvement works foreseen to address the effects of
tropical storm 16. The main shorcomings in terms of the targets was related to the upgrading of the road section La Esperanza-Camasca, a
contract financed by BCIE which only managed to complete 22 km out of the 61 originally envisioned, because the previous administration
decided to change the original design from a DST to a concrete pavement and widen the capacity, which requires additional US$20 million,
yet to be obtained. However, some 23 additional km or roads where improved under the emergency recovery works from those originally
envisioned in the AF and this contributed to reduce the gap left from the BCIE segment.

Comments
It is not clear what the baseline and end target values that appear in the PAD's results framework represent or where have they been taken
from. They do not coincide with the numbers that appear in Table 9.4 or 9.5 in pages 69 and 70 of the PAD. For this reason we propose:
(i) to use the values in Tables 9.4 and 9.5 of the PAD to estimate the expected percentage reduction in VOCs (average for the 6 vehicle
categories) for the two roads supported by the project: El Porvenir -Marale and San Lorenzo -Olanchito and measure the impact of this
component through the two additional indicators included below.
