description:

TIM Works had to be operational within a very short period and only a short lead time was available to establish modalities, procedures and select and design the schemes. The decision of fully concentrating on the maintenance and rehabilitation of key rural roads links as these activities can be relatively quickly initiated and provide relative large numbers of employment opportunities and can be designed in a relatively short period. When more time and resources would have been available, it would have been worthwhile to adopt a broader and more diversified 'menu' of interventions that would reflect local communities' priorities. Examples of sub-sectors and activities with good potentials for labour absorption that could effective contribute to local economic development are small-holder irrigation development, flood control activities and water and soil conservation using labour-based or labour-intensive approaches.
