Lima Metropolitan Development Project - P007985
Project dates: 1984-1991
Bank Team Lead:
This project was among the first Bank financed operations for metropolitan development in the Latin American and the Caribbean region. The primary objectives of the project supported the progressive transfer of urban administration from the Central Government to the Municipality of Metropolitan Lima (MLM) as mandated in the 1979 constitutional amendment; develop land-use, transport and investment planning capability within MLM and to assist it in developing greater autonomy in tax administration and in increasing its revenue base to gradually assume new responsibilities; strengthen the institutional capacity of MLM in the urban transport, solid waster and wholesale markets sectors, and in metropolitan management. Overall the project performed poorly that was explained by various reasons that include project design- the multi-sectoral approach of the project imposed a complex and difficult institutional burden. Therefore, a more selective and closely focused operation could have yielded better results. Back to top SOUTH ASIA
