The Road Maintenance Project for Paraguay will establish a sustainable road management strategy that ensures the upgrading and maintenance of the road network through a rational and balanced use of scarce resources. The closing date for the project will be extended from June 30, 2012 to February 28, 2014. The extension is necessary to enable the completion of the Project activities, and to compensate for the initially slow start of the Project after Board Approval. The Borrower has shown strong interest in implementing and completing the Project carrying on with actions on all the major components (including road management system, road inventory, traffic counts system, road toll system, road rehabilitation and maintenance contracts; and assorted consultancy and non-consultancy services). The Borrower has an action plan in place to implement the Project; a timeframe has been set under the auspices of the Improved Governance Framework Action Plan (IGAP). The IGAP is currently being strengthened for the better risk and progress monitoring. The major ongoing procurement scheduling will ensure that there is sufficient time to implement the institutional strengthening and infrastructure interventions. This is the first extension of the Project for a total of 20 months.

ISO has published an International Standard addressing business continuity management to contribute making organizations in both public and private sectors more resilient.

ISO 22301:2012, Societal security – Business continuity management systems – Requirements, will help organizations, regardless of their size, location or activity, to be better prepared and more confident to handle disruption of any type.

Incidents can disrupt an organization at any time and applying ISO 22301 will ensure that organizations can respond and continue its operations. Incidents take many forms ranging from large scale natural disasters and acts of terror to technology-related accidents and environmental incidents. However, most incidents are small but can have a significant impact and that makes business continuity management relevant at all times.
