42334-014 - Rural Roads Improvement Project II and Additional Financing

The project will rehabilitate about 1,200 kilometers (km) of rural roads in ten provinces (Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Pursat, Siem Reap, Takeo and Thbuong Khmum) 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.
