| Summary of Environmental and Social Issues |
| Social Aspects |
The Project will create significant jobs for skilled and unskilled labor during implementation. Unskilled labor will be employed directly in road construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance; and indirectly in providing materials and services for contractors. The Project will generate employment in areas where no other job opportunities exist. The Project will have the impact on poverty reduction by encouraging contractors to engage local workers in project areas and providing priority to the poor and disadvantaged during construction. The Project will contribute to better living standards for the poor, generate off-farm employment opportunities, reduce commuting times, and provide improved access to services.
The project roads will improve marketing of agricultural produce and peoples access to social services in the project areas, while contributing to regional trade.
The Project will benefit women by providing them with easier access to markets, better delivery of services, and improved access to better quality health care facilities and higher education.
