Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to ADB website, ADB is helping Cambodia rehabilitate about 1,000 kilometers of rural roads in nine provinces. The project will provide all-year road access in Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, Kampong Thom, Pursat, Siem Reap, and Takeo. It will also include road maintenance, a community-based road safety program, and climate change adaption measures.

The expected outcome of the project is safe, cost effective, all-year road access provided in remote agricultural areas of the aforementioned seven provinces, which has a large proportion of Cambodia’s rural poor. This project is associated with several closed projects: ADB-42334-012, ADB-42334-013 and ADB-42334-016.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
