Comparative costs and benefits of the local resource-based approach to rural road development: synopsis of findings from Aceh

To learn from the experiences in Aceh and Nias, the ILO commissioned a study that was to give insight into the effectiveness and relevance of the Local Resource-Based approach. One of the most interesting innovations to be taken from this study is associated with the successful and effective integration of capacity building, reconstruction of infrastructure and the creation of jobs – all of which contribute to poverty reduction.
