Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to improving the productivity of the economy in the southern region of Bolivia through the provision of adequate road infrastructure. The specific objective is to improve the quality of the RVF service and user road safety.

El objetivo específico de la Operación es de ampliar de 2 a 4 carriles el tramo de carretera que
extiende 7,4 km en la Ruta Nacional R09 de la Red Vial Federal entre Campo Pajoso (en la
intersección con la Ruta Nacional 29) como inicio, y el acceso al aeropuerto de Yacuiba. La operación se desarrolla sobre un corredor más amplio desde Villamontes hasta
Yacuiba que podrá ser sujeto de mejoras viales a futuro, pero el cual es independiente de la operación propuesta. Para el desarrollo del proyecto, se financiarán actividades de construcción de las vías,puentes, pasos a desnivel, pasarelas y rotondas. 

El tramo identificado se ubica en el corredor vial Norte - Sur y tiene una longitud de 11,04 km. Comprende el tramo que se ubica en la Ruta Nacional R09 de la RVF entre Campo Pajoso y la rotonda de acceso aYacuiba, en el Departamento de Tarija, provincia del Gran Chaco. Se desarrolla sobre un tramo de 89,89 km desde Villamontes hasta Yacuiba, que forma parte del Corredor Vial Norte – Sur, e integra a Bolivia en el límite Sur con Argentina en el paso internacional de Yacuiba – Salvador Mazza.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

Las obras viales no afectarán hábitats naturales ya que el DDV y las cruces de cuerpos de agua se encuentran previamente intervenidos.
Finalmente, hay un área protegida, el Parque Nacional y Área Natural de Manejo Integrado (PNANMI) Aguaragüe, en la sierra al oeste del área de influencia del proyecto, aunque el DDV se encuentra parcialmente a un área delimitada como área con demanda territorial indígena en 2005,
no se ha titulado tierras indígenas en la zona del proyecto (ver mapa) y no existe evidencia de
conflictos de uso. En cuanto a desastres naturales, el proyecto toma lugar en una región seca y
expuesta tanto a sequía como a ocasionales lluvias fuertes, por lo cual se analizará la relación entre
el proyecto y estos desastres naturales, por ejemplo el efecto de barrera y la aceptabilidad de las
obras de drenaje para prevenirlo.

People Affected By This Project
People Affected By This Project refers to the communities of people likely to be affected positively or negatively by a project.

El proyecto posee licencia ambiental
para obras y mantenimiento. Los estudios ambientales y sociales realizados
indican que no serán necesarios desplazamientos físicos de viviendas, sin
embargo, se realizará una actualización del Plan de Reasentamiento Involuntario
para verificación, y de ser el caso, se evitarán afectaciones a viviendas.
Complementariamente, se realizarán los traslados de servicios de agua,
electricidad y gas, y compensaciones por desplazamiento económico temporal, las
cuales estarán detalladas en el censo de afectaciones que son parte de los
documentos que comprende el Estudio de Impacto Ambiental y Social, que serán
divulgados en el sitio web del Banco

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB

The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
