Proposed Development Objective(s) 16. The project development objective is to improve climate resilient road access to economic and human capital development facilities in targeted provinces. Key Results (From PCN) 17. The achievement of PDO may be measured through the following indicators: (a) Length of roads rehabilitated with improved climate resilient measures; (b) Number of markets with improved road access (access to economic facilities) (c) Number of people with improved access to high schools (access to HCD facilities) (d) Number of people with improved access to referral and emergency health facilities (access to HCD facilities) D. Concept Description Project concept 18. The design of the proposed project builds on a network-wide connectivity approach in targeted provinces to improve all-season road accessibility in rural areas, between rural areas and urban centers, and beyond. The project provinces include Kampong Cham, Kratie and Tboung Khmum with a total population of over 2.3 million people. The selection of provinces was determined considering several criteria including density of rural population, agricultural potential, vulnerability to floods, condition of roads and connectivity of provincial road networks. 19. To achieve an optimal level connectivity, the proposed scope of road improvement works includes two-level interventions. The first intervention is to improve critical sections of the primary and secondary roads, along the identified network/corridor, which connect the rural and provincial roads with the core road network and main economic centers in the country. These road sections are under the responsibility of MPWT. The second intervention is to improve rural road accessibility in the project area, which is under the responsibility of MRD, by focusing on critical rural roads to maximize the social and economic benefits and optimally use of limited resources. Prioritization of rural roads will be done through the rural accessibility and climate resilience analysis, which is being undertaken jointly by the World Bank team and MRD using a geospatial analysis tool. 20. Road works will support to improve climate resilience and safety of road infrastructure. The scope of works will include paving/sealing of the roads to all-weather standards; improving and reconstruction of road structures to adapt to the changing hydrology in the area. The road designs will include an improved drainage system with the construction of additional and larger culverts, appropriate inlet-outlet of culverts, side ditches, and canals to drain water out from the side ditches. Bio-engineering solutions will be used as much as possible for improved road slope protection, including grasses and tree planting. The technical design will ensure that the identified measures reduce transportation costs and flooding ris
