Project Description

The project will rehabilitate about 729 kilometers (km) of rural roads in nine provinces (Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Pursat, Siem Reap, and Takeo) to paved condition. The rehabilitated roads will provide poor rural provinces with a safer, cost-effective rural road network with all-year access to markets and other social services. The project will also support a sustainable road maintenance regime in the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD), a community-based road safety program, an HIV/AIDS and human trafficking awareness and prevention program (HHTPP), and climate change adaptation measures.
