Project Details

Description

The Impact Evaluation Specialist will use newly available Household Income and Expenditure Survey data, as well as new geo-referencing and space imaging (luminosity) techniques to update an earlier study by Gibson and Rozelle (2003) that provided measures of how access to transport infrastructure, specifically rural feeder roads, impacted poverty in rural Papua New Guinea with a focus on the Highlands region.
The assessment will cover the entire highlands region with a focus on rural areas, where approximately 85% of the populations live. The results of this study will be used to estimate the overall impact of ADB and Government road sector investments on poverty and welfare in the Highlands region, and provide a benchmarking tool for the design of future investments into the region.
