HO-L1198 : HONDURAS TRANSPORTATION AND FREIGHT LOGISTICS SECTOR REFORM Program

The program's objective is to support improvements in Honduras's logistics performance through regulatory, institutional, planning, and trade facilitation reforms in the sector, with a view to boosting competitiveness and regional integration. The specific objectives are to: (i) develop a regulatory framework with specific rules aimed at improving freight logistics services as part of a long-term vision; (ii) strengthen the institutional framework for the logistics sector by creating the National Logistics Council and a technical entity; (iii) improve integrated planning in the sector and delivery of the associated services; and (iv) modernize and simplify trade facilitation processes and technological systems.This loan is the first in a series of three operations that are technically linked but financed separately as programmatic policy-based loan operations (document CS-3633-2).
