The credit fee and inspection and supervision fee will be established periodically by the Board of Executive Directors as part of its review of the Banks
lending charges, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Banks policy on lending rate methodology for Ordinary Capital loans. In no case
will the credit fee exceed 0.75% or the inspection and supervision fee exceed, in a given six-month period, the amount that would result from applying
1% to the loan amount divided by the number of six-month periods included in the original disbursement period.
I. DESCRIPTION AND RESULTS MONITORING
A. Background, problems to be addressed, and rationale
1.1 Background. Argentina is one of the most highly urbanized countries in Latin
America. UN Habitat estimates that more than 90% of Argentina's 40 million
people were living in towns with more than 2,000 inhabitants in 2010. The urban
population is growing at an estimated 1.02%, consistent with a slowing trend in the
national population growth rate (estimated at 0.88%).
1.2 The country has a total of 17 metropolitan areasurbanized areas that extend over
the territory of more than one subnational entityincluding greater Buenos Aires,
which, with 13 million inhabitants, is one of the 10 biggest cities in the world.
There are also large metropolitan areas in some of the provinces, which have
emerged as large cities (Crdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, and Tucumn) spread out into
the surrounding municipios. Together with Buenos Aires, these urban
agglomerations account for 50% of the country's urban population.
1.3 A characteristic feature of urban development in Argentina, as in other countries of
Latin America and the Caribbean, is the growing sociospatial fragmentation of
cities, with increasingly polarized income distribution. The resulting residential
segregation is generally accompanied by uneven delivery of basic services such as
sanitation, health, transportation, and education, which further deepens sociospatial
divides. Despite their serious social problems, however, urban areas also offer
greater opportunities to boost productivity and economic competitiveness, and to
deliver public services efficiently. Delivery of these services is unquestionably
more complicated in metropolitan areas, where inhabitants and their economic
activities occupy territory belonging to multiple local jurisdictions, creating systems
with marked functional interdependence. As a result, service delivery and urban
development planning cannot be approached independently within each
jurisdiction, but require solutions that encompass the entire territory and that will
promote efficiency and equity in the functioning of the entire metropolitan area.
1.4 There are basically three types of metropolitan area in Argentina: (i) monocentric
areas that have emerged as one city spread into adjacent municipios; (ii) polycentric
areas, where a number of neighboring cities within a province have grown together;
and (iii) polycentric areas that extend across the territory of two provinces or into
neighboring countries. The current legal framework in most of the provinces does
not provide for formal entities to coordinate the action of neighboring or contiguous
municipios. Consequently, action is needed on the part of higher levels of
government, to allow for intermunicipal or interprovincial territorial planning and
project implementation for a single urban agglomeration.
1.5 Problems to be addressed. It is a more complicated matter to organize services
and distribute their costs fairly when they need to be delivered across several
jurisdictions. For example, the coordination of public transit services requires the
cooperation of several municipios, which are responsible for regulating private
transportation services at the local level; the provincial government, which is

1.9 Experience and lessons learned. The Bank's experience supporting metropolitan
development issues began only recently, but its pioneering effort was undertaken in
Argentina, with the Integrated Development Program for Large Urban Areas in the
Argentine Interior (loan 1068/OC-AR) and support for preparation of strategic
guidelines for Metropolitan Buenos Aires (AR-T1010). The outcomes of the big
cities program suggest that in Argentina, over the short and medium term, it will
not be possible to reach comprehensive metropolitan development agreements
among the various territorial jurisdictions responsible for service delivery. That
conclusion is consistent with the findings of the evaluation of international
experience that was part of the metropolitan governance study summarized in the
Bank-published book entitled Governing the Metropolis.1 That study
demonstrated the technical and political difficulty of establishing a one-tier
metropolitan government responsible for providing all services, or two-tier
arrangements where a metropolitan authority and local governments share service
delivery. With politically fragmented federal systems such as Argentinas,
experience shows that it is better to establish metropolitan agencies specializing in
the delivery of one or just a few common services, as a first step toward more
ambitious schemes. Experience with urban issues in Argentina has also been
derived from the Barrio Improvement Program (PROMEBA) I and the conditional
credit line for investment projects (CCLIP) for PROMEBA II (loan 1842/OC-AR),
as well as the Rosario Habitat program (loan 1307/OC-AR), and reinforced with
institutional strengthening of local governments supported through the Program to
Improve Municipal Management (loan 1855/OC-AR). Specifically with regard to
metropolitan issues, the lessons learned from these operations point to the need to
include coordination mechanisms and incentives for interagency cooperation and to
engage the interest of local governments via the shared benefits associated with the
investments, and they also highlight the key role of the provinces in balancing out
basic differences between municipios with common interests and problems by
cofinancing the local contribution. All these considerations were factored into this
operation.
1.10 Rationale. Addressing metropolitan problems in a comprehensive manner is a
public management strategy that can generate economic and social returns. A
number of studies on public transit, solid waste management, sanitation, and other
sectors have demonstrated the efficiency and equity gains from integrated service
delivery in metropolitan areas. For example, coordination of public transportation
services affects the efficiency of labor markets by increasing the number of jobs
available within a given commuting time (as well as the size and diversity of the
workforce available to businesses).2 Sanitary solid waste disposal is made more

health and education infrastructure, and minor infrastructure for sports and
recreation.
1.19 Subcomponent 2.2. Investments (US$37.1 million) will finance specific
investments for a set of three to six demonstration metropolitan regions, in areas
that require coordinated action by more than two territorial jurisdictions. Eligible
investments will be located in urbanized areas that extend across municipal
boundaries or involve two provinces, and where the total population exceeds
100,000. As conditions for eligibility, works will have to be a necessary
metropolitan priority and be technically, economically, and environmentally
feasible, and there must be a minimum level of institutional development for
purposes of coordinating operations. As a condition precedent to the financing of
investments, there must be an agreement between the jurisdictions for coordinated
management of investments and service delivery.
1.20 Preference will be given to the following sectors: (i) metropolitan mobility, road
safety, coordination and improvement of public transportation services, and
introduction of dedicated public transit lanes, bicycle paths, and pedestrian
walkways; (ii) integrated solid waste management; (iii) coordination of municipal
service delivery in the metropolitan area and its sustainable financing, in particular
for health and education (technical and vocational) services in support of
sustainable metropolitan management and development; (iv) implementation of
metropolitan networks of parks and recreation areas; (v) integrated maintenance
systems for roads and public spaces; (vi) coordination of measures to promote local
economic development (harmonization, rationalization, and reform of municipal tax
codes and licensing procedures for production activities); (vii) planning for the
siting of industrial zones and fairgrounds; (viii) wholesale markets; and
(ix) promotion of new urban centers. Investments have already been preidentified in
the areas of integrated solid waste management, road safety, and construction of
bicycle paths in three representative metropolitan areas, as described in paragraphs
2.9 and 2.10.
1.21 Component 3. Administration and management (US$2.6 million). In addition to
the above components, the program will finance consulting services and equipment
for program supervision, audits, monitoring and evaluation, communication and
dissemination, management, and administration. The amount of US$100,000 has
been earmarked for program evaluation.

A. Financing instruments
2.1 Program resources and disbursement schedule. The total cost of the program is
US$50 million; 80% of this will be financed by the Bank from its Ordinary Capital,
and the remaining 20% will constitute the counterpart contribution. The execution
period will be five years running from the effective date of the loan contract. The
disbursement schedule is presented below:

consultants financed by the IDB (document GN-2350-7), both of July 2006, and
with the specifications in the loan contract and the document on fiduciary
arrangements and requirements. Those documents will also identify the review
modalities for the procurement of goods and nonconsulting services and the
contracting of works and consulting services financed by the Bank.
2.7 Advance procurement and retroactive financing. It is expected that consulting
services will be contracted and goods will be procured for the program prior to
program eligibility. Retroactive financing for such expenditures will be provided
for up to 3% of the loan (US$1.2 million) and 3% of the local counterpart
contribution (US$0.3 million). These expenditures are associated with completion
of the preinvestment studies, development of final designs for works, and
continuation of land-use planning activities in the city of Mendoza. Consistent with
the Banks policy for the recognition of expenditures, retroactive financing, and
advance procurement (operational policy OP-504), these are expenditures that the
borrower incurs from the date of approval by the Board of Executive Directors until
project eligibility, though not prior to the date the project profile was approved by
Bank Management (4 August 2010).
D. Other special considerations and risks
2.8 Program risks. During the risk identification and analysis process, a total of
14 risks were identified, nine of which were assessed as being of low severity, four
of medium severity, and one of high severity. The analysis is described in detail in
Appendix I to this document; the most severe risk identified is summarized here,
with the corresponding mitigation measures. That risk relates to the sustainability of
the proposed management arrangements, and has to do with the difficulty of
coordinating among players for the purpose of collective activities. To mitigate this
risk, the following measures have been included: (i) for each metropolitan area
there will be a detailed analysis of the players involved and their particular interests
and motivations; (ii) meetings will be held with key stakeholders; and
(iii) communication plans will be implemented to position the issue and
demonstrate the effectiveness of addressing metropolitan issues in an articulated
manner.
2.9 Technical issues. During program preparation, the country's main types of urban
agglomeration were identified, and three representative areas where coordinated
management mechanisms are already operating were selected: (i) Greater Salta, a
unicentric agglomeration located within a single province, where the city of Salta
dominates the smaller municipios surrounding it; (ii) Greater Mendoza, a
polycentric agglomeration within a single province, where several important
municipios make up the greater metropolitan area; and (iii) Neuqun-Cipolletti, a
bicentric agglomeration spanning two different provincial jurisdictions (Neuqun
and Rio Negro).7

2.10 In the three selected regions, the program will help to strengthen coordination and
management mechanisms between the metropolitan municipios. For Greater Salta
and Neuqun-Cipolletti, the program will finance the preparation of mobility and
transportation master plans and integrated management plans for the disposal of
solid wastetwo major issues for metropolitan management for which sector
diagnostic assessments and terms of reference are available. Also for these two
regions, the program will finance environmental remediation activities for the open
garbage dumps with the most harmful impact on health and the environment. These
projects have conceptual designs that will be reviewed during program startup, to
look at alternative solutions and select the least-cost option. The two systems will
not require new landfills for final disposal, and improved management of sanitary
landfills in the municipio of Salta and in Neuqun will be included as part of the
program. For Greater Salta, funding will also be provided for a metropolitan road
safety program, with participation by the Metropolitan Transport Agency.
2.11 For Greater Mendoza, the program will support preparation of the land use plan for
the metropolitan area and its strategic environmental assessment. A strategy will
also be prepared to promote cycling as an urban transportation alternative and as an
experiment in good metropolitan management practice. An investment project will
be financed involving preparation of final designs and implementation of bicycle
paths in the municipios of the metropolitan area, as part of its traffic separation
strategy. Future projects will be selected based on demand, in the order in which
they are submitted, after verification that they meet the corresponding eligibility
and feasibility criteria. For investments in health, education, transportation, water
supply, basic sanitation, drainage, and solid waste, work will be coordinated with
the respective sector divisions.
2.12 Economic appraisal. The economic appraisal of this operation is based on other
similar metropolitan projects. The mechanisms for cooperation and coordination
among subnational entities belonging to an urban agglomeration have many
advantages, the most important being the economic benefits of optimizing the use
of available infrastructure and achieving economies of scale. The specific benefits
relate to the delivery of public services (primarily water and sanitation, trash
collection, and coordination of transportation). These include economies of scale,
enhanced bargaining power with suppliers of goods and services, avoidance of
redundancies, greater propensity to innovation, access to advanced technologies,
and lower costs related to congestion and pollution.
2.13 The conceptual economic appraisal (optional link 2) presents the results of several
appraisal exercises conducted for metropolitan projects. These results suggest that
this program will achieve satisfactory rates of return. In the case of waste
management, existing studies8 show that regional management of final disposal
sites produces economies of scale on the order of 20% to 30% over decentralized

works, goods, and services; (vi) monitoring of works supervision and inspections;
(vii) coordination and supervision of social and environmental aspects;
(viii) accounting and record-keeping controls, submittal of disbursement requests,
and rendering of accounts; (ix) oversight and coordination of compliance with the
clauses of the loan contract; (x) monitoring and evaluation of outcomes and of the
targets and indicators in the Results Matrix; (xi) preparation and monitoring of
annual work plans; (xii) preparation and supervision of the terms of reference for
contracting individual consultants and consulting firms; (xiii) preparation of all
technical and administrative documentation relating to bidding and contracting
processes; and (xiv) preparation of such other reports as the Bank may require.
3.4 In the metropolitan areas, project management will fall to the provincial executing
units (PEUs) or to other designated metropolitan management entities, provided
that they have the institutional and technical capacity, the CEU has assessed the
merits of the arrangement, and the Bank has expressed its agreement. It is important
to note that the PEUs or management entities may be strengthened using program
resources. Before transfer of the funds (which will be nonreimbursable), the
executing agency will sign a framework participation agreement with the
coexecuting agency. Entry into force of the framework participation agreement
between the executing and subexecuting agency, under the terms agreed with
the Bank, will be a condition precedent to the first transfer of resources to
each subexecuting agency.
3.5 Audits. During program execution the CEU will present annual audited financial
statements for the program, in accordance with Bank policies. It has been agreed
that the executing agency will contract an external audit firm. The audited financial
statements will be presented within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. The
programs closing audit report will be presented within 120 days after the last
disbursement.
B. Summary of monitoring and evaluation arrangements
3.6 Monitoring system. The CEU has developed a system for monitoring and tracking
operations under its responsibility. That system produces detailed reports on outputs
by project as well as general summaries. The system makes it possible to define
project-specific output and outcome indicators, with the associated targets for each
period. To date, the system only monitors physical targets, but work is under way to
integrate it with the UEPEX system so that it can track financial execution of
projects. For monitoring fiduciary matters, the CEU will continue to use the country
systems already in place, which are satisfactory to the Bank. All project transactions
will be conducted through the computerized system established for UEPEX. The
required financial reports will include: (i) a financial execution plan for 180 days
following the request for advances; (ii) annual audited financial statements; and
(iii) such other reports as the fiduciary specialists may require. Procurement will be
monitored on the basis of the Procurement Plan Execution System (SEPA) already
in place.
- 13 -
3.7 The program monitoring system comprises the multiyear work plan, annual work
plans, progress reports, and the field supervision plan. This will be supplemented
with periodic updates to the risk mitigation matrix. The CEU will load the output
and outcome indicators into its monitoring system. The program includes funds to
improve that system, which will be made available to the subexecuting units, along
with training for responsible staff.
3.8 The midterm and final reviews will be key milestones in the monitoring system.
The CEU will prepare a midterm evaluation report and deliver it to the Bank
90 days after 50% of the loan proceeds have been disbursed, or 30 months into the
execution period, whichever comes first. It will also submit to the Bank a final
evaluation report, which will serve as input for the project completion report,
90 days after 90% of the loan proceeds have been disbursed. These reports will
include: (i) financial execution results by component; (ii) achievement of output
and outcome targets and progress toward expected impacts, based on the indicators
in the Results Matrix; (iii) compliance with the environmental requirements for
works, as established in the program environmental assessment, as well as
operation and maintenance of the completed works; (iv) compliance with
contractual commitments; (v) a summary of the findings of all audits conducted
during program execution; and (vi) a summary of the principal lessons learned.
Once accepted by the Bank, these two reports will be made publicly available on
the Ministry of the Interior website. The two evaluations will be carried out by
consulting firms, which will be contracted by the CEU using the loan proceeds.
3.9 Evaluation. The program's impact will be evaluated using the before and after
method. The expected outcomes are described in the Results Matrix (Annex II), the
main indicators for which were agreed during preparation, along with the methods
and means of verification. Funds have been specifically earmarked for evaluation,
separate from the funds for the monitoring system.
3.10 Given the nature of the program, with projects not all identified in advance, the
planned evaluation is based on the most viable projects. The program's impact will
be expressed in terms of efficiency gains from the joint implementation of services
by the municipalities in the targeted metropolitan areas. The impact assessment will
compare current costs with post-project costs for the delivery of three categories of
services (solid waste disposal, public transit, and environmental control), including
the negative costs (losses) generated by externalities and inefficiencies in the
service. The services and the metropolitan areas to be evaluated will be selected
based on the feasibility of formalizing the respective agreements. Thus, the ex ante
study of each service will be done after its economic, financial, and institutional
feasibility has been determined. The impact will be measured after the collaborative
schemes or services have been implemented, at the end of the program.
3.11 Evaluation work will be performed by consultants qualified in development project
impact assessment, with a specifically earmarked budget of US$100,000.

I. Strategic Relevance: This is an investment project in Argentina, an A country in South America. The project aims to
improve the operation of basic services, through innovative management systems for project execution and service
provision that require coordination of several territorial jurisdictions. The operation includes activities for institutional
strengthening, as well as concrete investment actions in pre-selected demonstrative areas. The project is aligned with the
Banks Country Strategy, regarding inter-jurisdictional governance, urban development and improvement of quality of life
in cities, and it also aligned to the Banks corporate initiative in infrastructure.
II. Evaluability: The document presents a solid diagnostic of the problem and the proposed solutions. The projects main
activities are logically related to the objectives and problems identified. The project has adequate indicators to track
outputs, results and the ultimate impacts. The baselines for impact inidcators are needed, and will be developed during
the process of defining the policies supported by the Program. Risks have been adequately identified, as well as their
mitigation measures and corresponding indicators. The project includes arrangements for monitoring and evaluation. An
economic analysis of some of the urban agglomerations has been carried out and budget has been devoted for a reflexive
evaluation at the end of the project.
III. Additionality: While there are no technical assistance resources directly linked to this operation, several
consultancies on environmental, economic and management issues have been carried out. A workshop to expose the
international experience on management systems for metropolitan areas has also taken place. The project has
encouraged the decision to adopt the UEPEX system in the executing and sub-executing agencies.
