Impact monitoring report - first year end-line survey, October 2015

The report shows that already significant positive changes in the rural people’s livelihood situation occurred a few months after the completion of the rehabilitation works. These changes include an increase in the availability and use of motorized transport, a decrease in people’s travel times, an increase in the number of local businesses and improved access to socio economic facilities and services.

Impact Studies are undertaken to assess changes in people’s livelihoods after the completion of R4D rehabilitation and maintenance works. The impact studies collect information on different socioeconomic dimensions to assess the overall impact of R4D towards its development objective. The survey tools that were used are Community Snapshots, Local Business Activity Surveys and Transport Surveys.
