- comments:
- By conducting an increased rehabilitation program, and works to mitigate future floods, communities will benefit through (a) roads not being damaged by floods and thus normal travel being maintained, (b) funds entering poor communities when and if EIIP approaches are used
- challenges:
- Several factors tend to see machine-based rehabilitation taking place (a) existing funds for such work is limited, (b) perception that EIIP requires additional funds and work periods are extended.
The social and economic benefits to poor communities are not well recognized, which leads to business as useful approaches (machine-based rehabilitation).
- success:
- There are very significant positive benefits to local communities, both social and economic: injection of funds into local economy bolstered by ‘multiplier factors which should provide strong justification for EIIP where ever local government aims to increase work opportunities in rural areas.
- context:
- Limited budgets are available annually for Districts and communes to carryout infrastructure works, with business as useful - being for contractors to be hired to make repairs using machine-based methods
- description:
- The Project in the process of conducting EIIP work, has been able to show that communal roads, essential means of transport for economic and social needs of poor communities, are in far greater need of rehabilitation than has been generally recognised.
These are now subjected to increased threat of damage through floods (climate change induced). Specific actions can be taken to mitigate this (raised height, increased capacity of culverts) which can be carried out using EIIP approaches and thus injects funds into poor communities
- administrative_issues:
- The project has ended and so these lessons are likely to be lost to the local partners.
