D. Strategic Goal 3: Improving Social Services and Infrastructure
16. The programs to improve delivery of utility, infrastructure and social services is reflected in the SPPRED. The PRSC together with our sector projects support the implementation in the following areas: (i) improving utility services for electricity, gas and water by developing tariff policies, a modern regulatory framework, and enforcing payment discipline; (ii) improving telecom and transport services through restructuring and enhanced competition; and, (iii) improving social services. The IDPs are supported by the World Bank’s social fund type project and other donor activities. The Oil Fund is the Government’s main financing source for IDP assistance, with US$47 million allocated in 2004 for housing and settlement projects for IDPs.
