  • World Bank Document
    RP810 Provincial Roads Department Government of the Socialist Democratic Republic of Public Disclosure Authorized Sri Lanka Social Impact Management Framework For Improvement of Provincial Roads Public Disclosure Authorized Uva Province and Ampara District of Eastern Province April 2009 Public Disclosure Authorized Prepared by Dr. K. Karunathilake Social Development Specialist/Individual Consultant Public Disclosure Authorized EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Sri Lanka’s national road network is administered by the Road Development Authority while other roads are administering by the Provincial Councils and local government authorities. Almost all rural roads are under these Provincial Councils and local government authorities. However, the condition of this rural road network is very poor and as a result it does not provide sufficient road accessibility for the rural people in the country. Furthermore, the existing poor road condition has become a major cause for the poor livelihood condition of the people. Therefore, road infrastructure is one of the prioritized components for sustainable development of Sri Lanka. 2. The Government of Sri Lanka has requested financing from the World Bank to undertake a Provincial Project to upgrade and rehabilitate the dilapidated provincial road infrastructure. Provincial roads are the key connectors between the rural and the national networks. The proposed project for improvement of provincial roads in the Uva province and the Ampara district in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka is being prepared to provide road users with improved sustainable road transport by enhancing quality, durability, and efficiency, of the provincial road network, which would be the key to economic and social development in rural Sri Lanka. 3. Both provinces are predominantly rural and land is the main asset of the people.
