Emergency employment through rural road rehabilitation for decent jobs and livelihoods recovery (sub-objective 2).

The project combines rural road rehabilitation works with transferrable skills to enhance employability of beneficiaries. 350 such decent jobs with the duration of 90 workdays wil be created. The ILO will rehabilitate 48 km of rural feeder roads to create these jobs. The work will include the repair of potholes and cracks on roadways as well as concrete lining, culvert repair, and gabion erosion control on sideways that will also serve against climate change-induced flood risk mitigation. After the rural feeder road rehabilitation works, 10% of wiling beneficiaries (i.e. 35 workers) wil be selected and matched with local enterprises from the pool of 350 workers to further hone their employability and skills through work-based learning (WBL).
