DESCRIPTION
The overall objective of the project was to improve rural road infrastructure in El Salvador, to enable continuous traffic, giving priority to those areas that have potential for productive development in order to reverse the conditions that affect rural poverty and low economic activity in those areas. The project aimed to strengthen the institutional capabilities of rural road management.
RESULTS
- Identification and assessment of vulnerable impact areas;
- Development of internal competence to deal with climate change and establishing inter-agency partnerships;
- Execution of works/mitigation measures that minimize the risks of local populations in vulnerable areas, as a result of increased natural disasters due to climate change;
- Better drainage systems, better rolling surfaces at critical points
