INTRODUCTION

1. This report contains the list of external loans signed in 1976 (Annex A),a list of projects for which external finance will be sought during the period1977-79 (Annexes B, C, and D), a list of projects deleted from the previousProject Lists (Annex E), and individual project descriptions (Annex F). Eachlist contains the name of the project, the executing agency, the expectedlender(s), the total cost, the external financing required, and the status ofreadiness of the project. The individual descriptions contain additionalinformation which would be of interest to potential lenders.

2. Data for these Project Lists, which will be presented at the meetingof the Consultative Group scheduled for June 27, 28 and 29, 1977, were compiledby the Colombian Government. It is to be expected, however, that loans for someprojects will not be signed during the year shown, because the project could beeither cancelled or postponed. Based on past experience this slippage may besubstantial, although it is not possible to identify the individual projects.

3. The report "Economic Position and Prospects of Colombia" dated May 10,1977, indicated that in order to provide adequate external support to Colombia'sdevelopment effort, annual commitments required from external borrowers forproject financing would need to amount to US$550 million in 1977, US$615 millionin 1978 and US$665 million in 1979. The difference between these requirementsand the amounts indicated in the Project List reflects the anticipated projectslippage, but, more significantly, reflects the fact that project list totalindicate the year in which the loan would be signed while actual loan disburse-ments are likely to take place over several years following loan signing.

4. The Project List reflects the fact that the Colombian Government hasdeveloped a broad strategy for improving the quality of life for the poorest50 percent of Colombia's population, whilst stimulating output in industry andagriculture, particularly in export-oriented production, and dealing with thecrucial problem of energy by increasing non-thermal generating capacity, andincreasing petroleum production.

5. The following table summarizes by sector and year the amount ofexternal financing which would be required to finance the projects presented inthe Project List. It also indicates the percentage of total financing whichwould be accounted for each sector.

/ As in the past, Project List figures refer to final contracted amounts, i.e., afterall clearances have been obtained in Bogot6a and disbursement may legally begin. Inthe World Bank's economic reports external assistance commitments are defined asExecutive Board approvals in the case of the Washington lending agencies and as signedcontracts for others. Since some agency loans may be approved in one year but notfully contracted until the following year, the two sets of figures may differ.

I. NAME OF PROJECT: Development Plan for Buenaventura

II. EXECUTING AGENCY: CVC




VI. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION: The purpose of this project is to partial-ly restructure the economy of the city through the promotion of industrialactivities for which the city offers attractive conditions in terms of theavailability of natural resources, as a consequence of its geographicallocation, or in light of the pre-existing development of small and medium-scale industrv. These activities are aimed at generating new employmentand ensuring general increases in family income. In addition, some of theprincipal problems of the city (public services, education, health, etc.)will be resolved and its physical evolution will be modified.

Among Colombia medium-sized cities Buena-ventura is perhaps the most disadvantaged from the economic, physical,social and administrative points of view. Through this project it ishoped to bring about a substantial improvement in its conditions and inparticular to provide the city with an economic base for sustained deve-lopment once the plan is executed. About 7,000 additional jobs are ex-pected to be generated and the growth rate of the city's economy isexpected to increase from 2.6% to 6,2% a year.

The Pacific region in which Buenaventurais located can substantially increase the food supply and foreing exchangeearnings of the country if its fishing and forestry resources are properlyexploited. The purpose of the plan is to provide the economic means andservice infrastructure for the city that will enable it to become theeconomic center for the area.

The executing agency for the project willbe the CVC. The sub-executing agencies will be national agencies providingspecific services which will be directed and coordinated by the CVC.


Costs The total cost is estimated at US$68.9million of which US$8.5 million are direc: foreign costs, US$13.1 areindirect foreign costs and the remander local costs.
