This is the Projeet Completion Report (PCR) for the Bajo Rio BravolRio San Juan Irrigation Rehabilitation II Project (Loan 2100-ME). The loan was approved in March 1982, in the amount of US$180.0 million, reduced to US$65.0 million in January 1985, and closed in September 1986 after cancellation of US$56.0 milli'n. The project and Bank-financed participation has a long and repetitive history. In 1963, a first Bank Loan (336-ME) was made for the two districts (Bajo Rio Bravo Irrigation District 25 and Bajo Rio San Juan Irrigation District 26). A follow-on project, the Bajo Rio BravolRio San Juan Irrigation Rehabilitation I was approved in 1975 in the amount of US$150.0 million and closed in 1983 after cancellation of US$100.0 million. 2. The PCR was prepared by the Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Office based on a PCR prepared by the Borrower, on the President's Report (No. P-3215-ME, dated February 25, 1982), the Staff Appraisal Report (No. 3663-ME, dated February 19, 1982), internal Bank memoranda and other correspondence as contained in the official Bank files and on discussions with people in the Bank who were involved with the project during its implementation. No further evaluation was undertaken by OED of the project, as the PCR covers adequately the main reasons why the project did not meet its objectives. The draft PCR was sent to the Borrower on October 5, 1988 for their comments. 3. Comments from the Borrower were received on December 2, 1988 and are attached as Annex 6 to this report.  BAJ. mo 00WAVOBAA to sIoAM IU A3 It"t IO I41LITATIO P61CT It - (LO S,m.w i1" tiEn 0^1^ til~~FROCT IMPUIO 01 blulo" Ceti Ac. lzgml fe tt 4 otil 1t! all~ ~ ~ ~~~ M_ NOSCI 11 BAI PAIl Sl_Ed ETi_ P.jc go" (11 1111Millelo) 62S.4 It.9 9 16.4 as 21S iLo Amat (UN st 1111.*) Is6.6 11.12 6.6k U 143 0.1. of efetiess 6_/16162 0C1. of e..je cleas.IA.
