Local dev.through infrastructure & jobs (Nepal)

A major development challenge in Nepal is the lack of maintenance of rural roads, often leading to economic and social isolation of communities, especially during rainy season. To respond to this challenge, ILO with RBSA funding aims to develop a rural road maintenance pilot project using labour intensive approaches in three districts - Kasti, Rupendehi and Palpa. From the lesson of the pilot phase, the rural roads could be maintained in a low cost way, while at the same time providing decent jobs and income for the local communities.
