The project development objective (PDO) is to enhance all season road connectivity to agricultural market centers in selected districts. The total classified network of roads under the project that are in good and fair condition has increased from a baseline of 15 percent to 28 percent of (with an end target of 48 percent). This has resulted in an increase in the number of rural people with access to an all-season road from 15% to 40% (targeting 50 percent). To date, 33 agricultural market centers and 40 post-harvest facilities are now connected to an all-season road, with an ambitious goal of connecting 150 market centers/storage facilities by the end of the project. 374,000 people have benefited from the project activities to date. 8/1/2019 Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rwanda Feeder Roads Development Project (P126498) Implementation Progress. The length of rehabilitated roads achieved to date is 283 km (under the parent project financing), with 164 km under routine maintenance, and on track to meet the overall project target of 720 km (including the additional financing) before the project closing date. Since December 2018, implementation progress has regained momentum, with procurement of civil works in the additional financing (AF) six districts completed. Works contracts have been signed in four districts by end-June 2019 and the remaining two are expected to be finalized by end- July 2019. There are 3.5 years remaining in the project period, which is adequate to complete the 450 km of feeder roads under the AF. Indicators also reflect the positive outcomes related to jobs created along the roads, with a total of 4,616 people have been employed (out of a target of 5000 people for the project) during the feeder roads rehabilitation in Rwamagana, Gisagara, Nyamasheke and Karongi districts; 43% of those being women. 502 people are currently employed through off-farm jobs on routine maintenance of feeder roads in Rwamagana and Gisagara districts as Local Community Associations (LCAs), with 43 percent being women. Project Outcome. Moreover, new infrastructure development has emerged in the districts with completed rehabilitation works contracts, amongst others: (i) electrification program and clean water distribution is being integrated in the areas where feeder roads have been rehabilitated; (ii) construction of a Health Center in Rwamagana; (iii) construction of four (4) new storage facilities for agricultural produce in Gisagara (mostly for rice and maize); (iv) introduction of fish farming business near Lake Muhazi in Rwamagana; and (v) introduction of a passion fruit production business in Rwamagana district as a result of easy access to both inputs and markets. Going forward, RTDA needs to focus its efforts on engaging and completing key technical assistance packages (e.g. Feeder Road Master Plan, Monitoring and Evaluation, Climate Resilience/ Water Management System), as well as citizen engagement and sensitization activities.
