CAPACITY BUILDING FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE METHODOLOGY TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE IN CLV COUNTRIES

Cambodia relies heavily on its road network for transportation and distribution, making road infrastructure improvement critical to sustainable social and economic development. Roads provide access to essential services and connect the country regionally and globally. Although Cambodia has over 61,000 km of roads, the majority are rural, and only about 6,200 km are paved. Significant efforts in road construction, widening, and rehabilitation are ongoing. Early repair of road damage is essential to extending pavement lifespan. Therefore, improving road maintenance knowledge and skills among relevant officials and construction workers is key to ensuring the long-term durability and quality of road infrastructure.  Read more...

Objectives

Objectives

  • 1. To raise public awareness about the importance of road infrastructure maintenance through workshops and media outreach.
  • 2. To conduct and analyze a Training Needs Assessment (TNA) to inform project implementation.
  • 3. To develop and pilot a curriculum on road maintenance, along with Learning Management System (LMS) software.
  • 4. To deliver effective and efficient training courses on road maintenance for the target audience.
  • 5. To design a standardized monitoring mechanism and evaluation strategies to assess training impact.

Activities

Public Awareness: Raise awareness through workshops and promote it through media networks.

TNA: Identify training needs and trainee backgrounds, perform gap analysis, assess alternatives, report results, and recommend training plans.

Curriculum Development: Form a team, find consultants, define outcomes, develop syllabus and content, design activities, and develop LMS software.

Training Implementation: Produce materials, pilot and revise the curriculum, recruit and train facilitators, and implement training (physical/virtual formats, including lectures, workshops, webinars, discussions, site visits, practicums, and assignments).

Monitoring and Evaluation: Design M&E mechanisms and strategies for formative and summative assessment, and suggest procedures for collecting reliable and valid information and reporting.

[Expected] Results

The project established the CLV Logistics Database website for data, lessons learned, and knowledge sharing among CLV countries to support logistics sector development in each country and across the region.

The project facilitated and promoted regional cooperation and collaboration, particularly through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to be signed between the General Department of Logistics (GDL) under Cambodia’s MPWT and the Transport Development and Strategy Institute (TDSI) under Viet Nam’s MOT.

To enhance public awareness, the importance of road maintenance was widely disseminated through project kick-off meetings, TNA consultation seminars, and media outreach, drawing strong public attention with the participation of numerous stakeholders.

Outcome

Success Factors/Strategies

  • The project team flexibly adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic by adopting a hybrid online and offline training model to ensure the smooth implementation of the training plan.
Outcome

Future Strategies and Sustainability Plans

  • Strengthen cooperation among CLV national participants in the road sector by organizing regular exchange activities and sharing experiences and technologies in road maintenance.
