Private Solutions for Infrastructure in Honduras

The purpose of this study is to promote the development of infrastructure services in Honduras. Its central argument is that competitiveness, economic growth and poverty reduction could all be advanced through increased private sector participation and more competitive markets for the supply of infrastructure services, subject to an appropriate legal and regulatory framework. The study was financed by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), which identifies options for private investment in infrastructure. The study reviews the infrastructure sectors, identifying the main problems and suggesting strategies for their solution. It puts forward general principles for the effective provision of services and also recommends specific policies for each sector. The scope of the study includes: transportation, water and sanitation, electricity and telecommunications. The Main Report has three main sections. Part 1 presents a general overview of infrastructure development and the role of private sector participation. Part 2 presents a detailed diagnosis of each of the four sectors covered in the study.
Part 3 lays out the study's policy recommendations (both cross-sector and sector-specific).
