GMS - Cambodia Northwest Provincial Road Improvement Project

Timely Implementation of Resettlement Compensation. The timely implementation of resettlement (including at the CBF) was a risk identified at project appraisal. The project encountered delays in resettlement compensation due to slow disbursement of counterpart funds. Since delays in resettlement affect civil works implementation, measures to supplement counterpart funds, including the use of ADB loan proceeds for resettlement compensation, should be considered. Alternatively, future projects may opt to avoid the need for resettlement by rehabilitating the roads within existing road widths only.
