How to invest?

Planning

SCT establishes medium and long term sectorial programs for road infrastructure development, based on the objectives and strategies defined by the National Development Plan and the National Infrastructure Program. The main objectives of the Communications and Transport Sectorial Program are to a) improve and upgrade rural and feeder roads, b) support a temporary job program, and c) modernize interstate roads.

Identification

SCT identifies road projects to be developed, in accordance with planning documents. Unsolicited proposals of PPP projects must be aligned to national and sectorial plans.

Structuring

The General Directors of Roads, Road Maintenance, and Road Development prepare those pre-investment studies and analysis necessary for the structuring and executions of the projects.

Registration

For those projects that require federal funds, SCT presents a registration application to the Investment Unit of the Ministry of Finance (whether funded with fiscal budget or by the National Infrastructure Fund or FONADIN).

Prioritization

The CIGFD will evaluate the projects that require the allocation of federal funds, and will decide its inclusion in the draft of the annual expenditure budget. Additionally, this commission will determine the prioritization of the projects based on a) socioeconomic profitability; b) its impact in extreme poverty reduction; c) regional development, and d) concurrence with other programs and investment projects.

Authorization

• Projects that require federal funds are authorized by the House of Representatives.
• Projects with funding from FONADIN are authorized by the Fund.
• The IU will issue an opinion of economic viability for those projects that do not require public resources.
