| Abstract | The development of socio-economic infrastructure plays a very important role in the country developing strategy, which is a key factor for developing countries to reduce poverty. The fund for development of infrastructure can come from many sources such as private investors, Government, mixed credit. One of the most useful capital sources is financing from International Donor through providing ODA loans.
