The Ministry of Rural Development has inked a deal with the World Bank to build 25 rural roads in six provinces through USD 60 million of funding from the World Bank.

The project is proceeding under the ‘Cambodia and South East Asia Disaster Risk Management Project’. With a total length of 279.78 kilometres, the 25 roads will be DBST constructed and will be built in six provinces including Siem Reap (6 roads), Kandal (7 roads), Tboung Khmum (4 roads), Kampong Cham (3 roads), Kratié (3 roads), and Stung Treng (2 roads).

“We decided to choose the six provinces as the target locations because we found that those provinces always face natural disasters especially flooding during the rainy season, which parallels to the concept of the disaster risk management project,” said H.E. Ouk Rabun, Minster of Rural Development.

According to the ministry’s report, the project will be implemented over a 5-year period from 2017 to 2022.
