Asian Development Bank | November 2011
Abstract
This publication presents the results of a pilot project that sought to involve women and indigenous minorities in rural road maintenance projects, both to undertake badly needed improvements in rural roads, and to create employment opportunities for them. Women have been empowered as a result of the new opportunities and training.
