	Financial resources

The program is financed by MGTC, the company that built and operates the pipeline. Its cost is therefore borne by MGTC shareholders in proportion to their working interests. A total of US$14.1 million was spent between 1995 and 2006, half between 1995 and 1998 because the initial years focused on the construction of infrastructure, roads, bridges, hospitals, health centers and schools. The budget for 2006 is US$1.4 million.

The SEP's impact is assessed using a battery of indicators that correlate the measures implemented and achievements in the areas of health, education and economic development.
