Southern Province Rural Economic Advancement Project

The project was particularly effective in meeting the needs of the government. The project responded very effectively by repairing the damaged rural gravel roads and pedestrian bridges after the May 2003 floods. As requested by the government, the project also responded positively by changing its scope from gravel roads to paved surface roads. The responsiveness and flexibility demonstrated by the project was laudable, and the project provided a worthy example for the design and management of future projects.
