| Description | The impact of the JFPR project will be improvement in the quality of life in remote rural areas (soum centers) in the western region of Mongolia. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The ADB-assisted Western Regional Road Corridor will improve and pave the existing north-south road passing through the aimags of Hovd and Bayan-Olgiy, including the aimag centers of Hovd and Olgiy. A main benefit from the proposed Western Regional Road Corridor is increased cross-border trade among Mongolia, the PRC, and Russian Federation, which will contribute to regional cooperation and integration under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program. The proposed JFPR project will establish a sustainable and cost-effective community-based road maintenance system, and it will upgrade local-access/soum-center roads along the ADB-financed main road. | ||||

Representatives of the local government; environmental, infrastructure, and inspection organizations; nongovernment organizations such as WWF and Altai-Sayan Eco-region project; and representatives of universities attended the Hovd and Olgiy workshops. Topics raised during workshop discussions related to socioeconomic benefits of the road, access roads, environmental impacts and their mitigation, and archeological and historical sites. |
