The main outputs of the PPTA will comprise: (i) a prioritization of state highways and major district roads to improve the national- and subregional-level connectivity of the NE Region in the context of the existing plans for National Highways roads and border roads on the one hand and rural roads under the Prime Minister's Rural Roads Development Program on the other hand; (ii) institutional development program to improve performance and accountability of the road sector institutions; and (iii) an investment project for selected roads that is economically viable, technically feasible, and socially and environmentally responsible.
