BAKU URBAN TRANSPORT The objective is to improve traffic access and safety within the Baku metropolitan area through implementation of traffic management measures and improvement of parking.  The traffic congestion situation in Baku is rapidly deteriorating. The intensity of traffic flows sharply increases during morning and evening peak hours,as well during noon time. Traffic congestion is gradually spreading over new transport arteries and is lasting longer periods of time. As traffic volumes increase and the carrying capacity of the roads under present conditions close to their maximum, congestion will increase at disproportionately higher rate, unless urgent counter measures are undertaken. The main project development objective is to reduce transportation time and improve traffic access and safety within the Baku metropolitan area, through implementation of traffic management measures, improvement of parking conditions, improvement of the concessioning of passenger transport services and  establishment of an institution responsible for development and implementation of traffic management measures  in Baku. 10-7-10 TTL changed from Mohammed Dalil Essakali to Jung Eun Oh.

First Programmatic Reform Loan for Environmental Sustainability Project Development Objective (Note: will be disclosed in the MOS)  The overall major objective of the SAL in Brazil wi ll be to mainstream it within the government's broader political and economic agendas.  In other words, the e nvironment would be considered upstream in sector policy decisions, particularly by Finance and Planning, and be handled under a more integrated approach, as opposed to a more antagonistic and adversarial one.  It is p erhaps only through a SAL operation that this can realistically be  achieved, and conversely a SAL operation s eems very appropriate to achieve such an objective.  The loan can  potentially also help bridge administration s, ensuring continuity and sustained environmental activities, helping  prevent the classic 18 month letdown t ypically faced during such periods.  In the wake of the project, we  believe many steps forward will be achieved by the environment sector in Brazil.  Board Schedule Comments

Poverty Reduction Support Credit (PRSC) This is a FY02 operation that should proceed with processing towards the end of this fiscal year ONLY if significant progress is made in moving to redundancy payments to surplus civil servants.  It would be a single tranche operation, with conditionality building on civil service reform (particularly reduction in size of civil service), enhancements to the government's accounting and financial management system, and public expenditure rationalization.  The first two areas are supported under the Civil Service Modernization Credit, and successful implementation of this operation would "prepare" this part of the project.  The third area should build on recommendations in the recent Public Expenditure Report. In my view, existing budgetary allocations for this operation (at least in large part and completely with regard to the associated supervision budget), should be relocated largely to the substantially under-funded supervision budget for the Civil Service Modernization Project.  Keeping the allocation as it is now makes it "ripe" for those looking to squeeze budget, and it makes sense to at least do a gross realignment of resources at this point to protect the overall allocation for the Yemen budget. There will need to be very careful crafting of the rational for the operation around one-time fiscal costs of adjustment (severance payments), because the medium term macro framework projects a budget surplus for the next several years. It should be noted that in FY00, the previous country economist charged over $50,000 towards this operation.  As a result, the operation will always come up with a "flag" of expenditures prior to the PCD of over the regional guidelines.
