The project comprises of two components. The first component, road civil works consists of the following three sub-components: (i) road rehabilitation and black spots improvement will finance the rehabilitation and spot improvements of an estimated 112 kilo meter (km) of national and regional roads as well as a pilot road safety black spot improvements program; (ii) technical audits will finance independent technical audits of civil works, which will be conducted about three times during the project implementation; and (iii) land slide remediation will build on the design activities currently ongoing under the Regional and Local Roads Program Support Project (RLRPSP) and will help PESR to implement the remediation activities on a selected number of land slide locations. The second component, institutional strengthening and project management aims at helping strengthening PESR's capabilities on issues related to road safety, climate resilience, and road asset management. It consists of following four sub-components: (i) project management and implementation, including audits; (ii) road safety technical assistance; (iii) road asset management equipment and data collection and preparation of a five-year strategic program; and (iv) technical assistance and impact analysis.
