2 The World Bank LAC region in partnership with the Global Environmental Facility recently created the Regional Sustainable Transport and Air Quality Project (the STAQ Program), which objective is to reduce the rate of growth of greenhouse emissions from this sector at a Latin American and Caribbean level. The STAQ Program is structured into four projects: b) three Country Specific Projects involving a core group of 11 cities of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico and b) the Regional Project focused at Latin American level, which is being executed by the Clean Air Institute. While the country project support sustainable transport interventions in eleven selected cities, the regional project is responsible for an overall integration of the STAQ program. The regional project supports development of methodologies to assess the environmental co-benefits of transport intervention, provision of technical assistance and training, country projects monitoring and evaluation and, furthermore, policy dialogue and other key activities at the Latin American and Caribbean level to mainstream climate change and air quality considerations into the transport planning and implementation. The STAQ Program was designed to support governments# efforts to promote sustainable development; and demonstrates cost-effectiveness of different measures to reduce GHG emissions associated with transport and to establish a network of local and national government stakeholders, international organizations and private sector entities to promote policies and actions leading towards more energy efficient and cleaner urban transport systems in Latin American cities. Fund leverage is an integral part of the STAQ Program. The Argentina Project was declared effective in August 2010 and is expected to close in December During 2011 the project has moved forward various initiatives in Tucuman, Posadas, Cordoba and Rosario, and progress continues to be considered Moderately Satisfactory.
