Vietnam's economic emergence is perhaps best experienced along its rural roads: over 175,000 kilometers of pavement, rubble, and dirt track extend to two-thirds of the country's population, including nearly all of the poorest people, who...

Vietnam's economic emergence is
perhaps best experienced along its rural roads: over 175,000
kilometers of pavement, rubble, and dirt track extend to
two-thirds of the country's population, including
nearly all of the poorest people, who live among its
productive farms, lush forests, and meandering river
valleys. In recent years, road investments in Vietnam's
rural areas have improved socioeconomic development and have
promoted gender equity, social participation, improved
school attendance, and more inclusive health services to
impoverished regions. However, all but a few hundred
communes remain off-grid, and infrastructural roadblocks and
bureaucratic potholes have delayed the goal of a fully
integrated road system. The World Bank's Third Rural
Transport Project (RTP3) supported a win-win solution:
employing ethnic minority women to sustainably manage road
maintenance through an innovative participatory approach to
local development. This smart lesson describes the
experience of improving the roads and women's lives in
rural Vietnam. |
