Construction of Tema-Aflao Road in Ghana (2001)
Ghana, Africa
The Project entailed an extensive impact assessment of the 120-kilometer Tema-Aflao coastal Road crisscrossed by tributaries and bounded by the Savannah ecosystem present in Ghana. The key responsibilities executed were thorough impact analysis of the road project on the faunal and floral population, environmental scoping of hydrological and edaphic features of the area, and preparation of critical mitigating measures for minimizing overall adverse effects of construction efforts on the environment.
Rural Roads Development Policy Framework (2002 - 2003)
Various sites, Philippines
The technical assistance endorsed by the Dept. of Interior and Local Government formulated and prepared a rural road development policy framework that helped enable LGUs to effectively carry out their mandate for comprehensive local road development and management, as prescribed under the devolution of government functions. The framework promoted sustainable road development through improved decentralization principles, planning, programming, financing and road maintenance in order to support initiatives for national economic development. The Project, more specifically, conducted studies on the cost-efficiencies of the road program, local government capabilities, calculated expenses for rehabilitation, renovation, procurement, and identified options for government subsidies and other financial sources. Road and transport policies were also reviewed to assist in the formulation of credible and viable road network plans given governmental and territorial constraints.
