PUEBLA-PANAMA PLAN COUNTRIES DISCUSS FINANCING FOR ROAD INTEGRATION PROJECTS

At a meeting organized by the IDB in Washington DC, with multilateral lending institutions and cooperation agencies

The Puebla Panama Plan, which was launched last year to promote economic and social development and regional integration, includes an initiative to create a Mesoamerican network of highways known as RICAM. The network, which is largely based on existing roads, comprises two main corridors on the Atlantic and the Pacific and a series of complementary routes.
