Cost/Benefit Analysis of SEACAP Trials in Vietnam - Inception Report
SEACAP is the South East Asia Community Access Programme
Abstract
The overall aim of this project is to undertake an independent economic analysis of the rural road surfacing and paving options investigated in the Rural Road Surfacing Trial programme in Vietnam for comparison with a similar cost/benefit study undertaken at 2013/2014.
A separate South East Asia Community Access Programme (SEACAP) initiative carried out a performance study of gravel roads constructed under the Government of Vietnam-World Bank rural transport RT1 and RT2 projects. This research produced recommendations on the limitations of Low (traffic) Volume Road (LVR) gravel surfacing in Vietnam, and is important reference documentation for the current Cost/Benefit investigations.
This Inception report describes the activities of the initial phase of the study, which principally reviews the background and desk study of relevant literature, and sets out proposals for the Cost Benefit assessment approach of the SEACAP surfacing and paving research.
This output is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
