Abstract
| |
| Ratings for the Caracas Slum-Upgrading Project in Venezuela were as follows: outcomes were moderately satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was moderate, the Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was moderately satisfactory. Some lessons learned included: 1) Social mobilization and community participation are keys to success in upgrading; 2) Women can serve as catalytic social agents in community infrastructure projects; 3) Land titling can have a broad positive impact in the context of upgrading programs; 4) Overcoming political and institutional instability is difficult - but patience can pay off; 5) Working with municipalities is critical, no matter how difficult; 6) Caution is required when planning for large, structural upgrading investments. Project design might have better anticipated the challenges of launching a complex and ambitious upgrading program with significant structural infrastructure investments in an environment of limited confidence in the public sector and the lack of proven investment programs of a similar nature in the country. |
