National Emergency Rural Access Project

Development Objective

The project development objective of the proposed project, derived from the overarching program objective of NRAP, is to provide year-round access to basic services and facilities in the rural areas of Afghanistan covered by the project. This will be achieved through rehabilitation and maintenance of rural access infrastructure by contracting with the private sector and, to a lesser extent, with the communities. The achievement of the PDO will enhance the well being of the population and promote equitable licit economic growth in the country.

This figure was obtained from preliminary analysis of the data of NRVA2007/08 and is notconsidered very accurate. Accurate reporting on this indicator will be possible after the data has been morethoroughly analyzed.	The figure needs updating and verification of data collected by NRVA during 2007/08. Traget will be set once the projectestablishes the total network in the country, which is not clear presently.	The end of project target value is yet to be decided
