Comparative economic analysis of the potential impact of a rural roads programme on agricultural development in county clusters

Description of the project and Services provided:

The overall objective of this assignment is to assist the EU Delegation in deciding in which county cluster to implement a rural roads programme in support of its agricultural and livestock development in the ASAL. The decision would be guided by the county cluster with the highest agricultural potential that would be unlocked through investments in road infrastructure with climate proofed specifications.

The results of the project are:

• The consultant opinion on the agricultural potential areas those are still untapped because of various constraints including accessibility constraints. The findings per county and cluster of counties are to be presented in form of a narrative text and comparative table.
• Thematic maps indicating areas of potential in each county with a narrative description.
• A specific analysis rating the importance of inadequate rural road infrastructure versus others constraints.

The services provided are:

• Budget preparation
• Project/programme feasibility studies
