Community-Based Routine Maintenance of Roads by Women's Groups: Guide for Communications Bureaus
Asian Development Bank | July 2011
Abstract
This guide describes how to implement a system of community-based rural road maintenance involving groups of women, specifically in Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China.
It was written as part of a pilot project supported by the Gender and Development Cooperation Fund of the Asian Development Bank. This pilot project aims to show that women can effectively participate in the maintenance of rural roads, resulting in improved road conditions and better access for those who rely on roads, and in creating employment opportunities and incomes for women. It also serves to identify specific issues in the participation of women in rural road maintenance, while defining solutions that facilitate their involvement.
This guide is complemented by a manual that was developed under the same Gender and Development Cooperation Fund pilot project.
