| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The Government's poverty reduction strategy places considerable emphasis on the provision of infrastructure at the national level, and more directly, at the province, district, and commune levels. The ADB country strategy and program has also identified limitation in physical infrastructure as one of the main hindrances to acceletated, private-sector led and socially inclusive growth. | ||||||||||||||||

| Project Outcome | |
|---|---|
| Description of Outcome | Improved quality, greater coverage, and better integration of rural infrastructure in the Central Region with an increased awareness for the need for O&M. |
| Progress Toward Outcome | Key performance indicators targeted for achievement by 2014 are (i) vehicle operating costs on improved roads reduced by 50%, (ii) travel time on improved roads reduced by 50%, (iii) agriculture production in areas with improved irrigation, flood control and drainage facilities increased by the equivalent in value of 1 ton of rice per hectare, (iv) time spent collecting water reduced by an average of 2 hours per day, and (v) proportion of off-farm income in total household income increased by 20%. At present, it is still early to assess final results of the Project as many subprojects have only been completed and handed over to users within the last 12 to 18 months. However, according to report of the baseline survey consultants, two targets of vehicle operating costs and time spent collecting water have already been achieved, the target of travel time can be achieved, but it is difficult to achieve the remaining two targets of agriculture production and proportion of off-farm income. |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | 1. A significant amount of the rural and coastal infrastructure in the project provinces is rehabilitated, upgraded, and maintained. 2. Improved capacities of national and provincial staff in technical and safeguard matters. 3. Improved project management skills for infrastructure development. |
