description:

The labour-based development model for constructing and maintaining roads has the following key positive attributes: a) It has a high degree of efficacy and is undoubtedly a viable development approach-especially from the point of view of cost effectiveness, income and employment generation, overall poverty reduction and overall economic growth; b) It is win-win approach –from the point of view of cost-savings on the part of the Government, employment and income generation on the part contractors and local communities; c) It has great potential to deliver results quickly; and d) It has potential for significant multiplier effects-which according to the ILO-EIA study (July 2011) is in the order of 1:3.2
