Amend provided technical assistance to the World Bank in the development of a model for “people-centered” community engagement in the improvement of rural roads in Tanzania. In the past, roads have typically been built with consideration only for drivers of vehicles. However, through this new model, road safety and other social risks facing all road users and members of the roadside community — in particular pedestrians and vulnerable and marginalized groups — were considered from the outset.
Final project report pending.
