Investing in Paraguay’s Roads","More, Better or Different? Investing in Paraguay’s Roads examines road-sector investment in Paraguay, focusing on road network characteristics, transport-sector context, and how resources are planned and managed. The report compares road expenditures with rehabilitation and maintenance needs, reviews funding sources, and evaluates government practices in budgeting, procurement, and execution. It presents findings and recommendations to improve budget management and governance, strengthen data and capacity, expand rural access, and identify sustainable revenue sources for the sector.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nMore, Better or Different?  \nInvesting in Paraguay’s Roads  \nLATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN REGION  \n© 2019 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/ The World Bank 1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433  \nTelephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
