PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Second Integrated Road Investment Program for the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka will improve the accessibility of the road network in rural areas and thereby increase the involvement of the rural population in nationwide economic and social development.

Impact and outcome. The impact of the investment program will be improved connectivity between rural communities and socioeconomic centers in Sri Lanka to align with the government strategy. The outcome will be increased transport efficiency on project roads. Outputs. The outputs of the proposed time-slice multitranche financing facility (MFF) will be (i) improved road conditions of about 3,400 km rural roads and 340 km national roads between the selected rural communities and socioeconomic centers, and (ii) enhanced capacity of road agencies.
