To assess the extent to which the Project has contributed to the objective of restoring the rural livelihoods of communities of the disaster affected populations in NAD and Nias – through improvements in access to main roads and socio-economic centers, and the creation of job opportunities – an assessment of the effect of the improved road access to the beneficiaries has been made through a study. This study was designed and implemented by the Project in the period May-June 2010 and covered 13 rehabilitated road links, or 50% of the total length of roads that has been rehabilitated by the Project.
