Development of a Rural Roads Planning and Prioritisation Model for the Punjab Province of Pakistan, Final Report
The Planning Department of Government of the Punjab encounter a daunting task of prioritisation of rural roads at the start of each financial year
Abstract
The Planning and Development Department and other local government entities of the Government of the Punjab encounter a daunting task of prioritisation of rural roads at the start of each financial year. The underlying study aims to facilitate the planning and prioritisation of rural roads in Punjab through the adoption of a robust methodology encompassing various modes of analysis. Two modules of the model are being proposed based on Multi- Criteria Analysis; one for the planning and prioritisation of new rural roads and second for rehabilitation/ improvement of existing rural roads. Indicators are recommended on the basis of global practices and stakeholder’s feedback. The prioritisation model will replace the prevailing informal ways of rural roads prioritisation in the province; thus, contributing towards sustainable socio-economic development of the rural areas.
