Shaanxi Province is one of the least developed provinces with per capita GDP, per capita urban income and per capita rural income at about 36.9%,84.7% and 76.1% of the national averages in 2015, ranking in 16th, 16th and 25th respectively among the 31 administrative provinces and regions in PRC. Fifty of Shaanxi’s 107 counties have been officially designated national poverty counties. 2. The project is located in Ankang and Shangluo, two prefecture-level cities of southern Qinba Mountain of Shaanxi. Qinba Mountain is one of the 11 poorest regions targeted for concentrated interventions under the 2011−2020 poverty reduction strategy of PRC Government. The proposed project will have direct impact on three counties (Xunyang County, Hanbin District and Shangnan County), all of which have been designated as national poverty counties since the 1990s. The overall poverty incidence of Shaanxi is 10.7%, and county/district of Xunyang, Hanbin and Shangnan being 40%, 38.6% and 34.3% respectively. Lack of adequate transport accessibility and a poor quality of the road network are some of the major constraints for the social and economic development of the region. 3. The primary objectives of the road rehabilitation components are threefold: 1) to upgrade network capacity for an expanding transport volume in the area, 2) to provide all-weather access to the village and county roads that connect to the trunk roads, and 3) to improve the road safety condition of these rehabilitated roads and an additional 660 km of rural roads. 4. The Project will comprise four components. 5. (1) Component 1:
