NIGER STATE RURAL ACCESS AND MOBILITY PROJECT Page 1

1.0 Executive Summary

Nigeria Agriculture Transformation Agenda (NATA) is designed by the Federal

Government to modernize agricultural sector by partly focusing on increasing the

infrastructure stock in rural areas with high Agricultural potential and ensuring

connectivity between production areas and markets which would be addressed through

improving the conditions of selected rural roads. Also, in line with the Niger State

Governments’ desire to develop rural areas, keyed into the Second Rural Access and

Mobility Project with the objective to improve transport conditions and bring sustained

access to the rural populace through rehabilitation and maintaining key rural transport

infrastructure in a sustainable manner in some selected Nigerian states. Project activities

are concentrated in the areas of higher agricultural production.

The project components include:

Component 1: Upgrading and Rehabilitation of Rural Transport Infrastructure which

includes design studies, upgrading and/or rehabilitation, and related engineering

supervision activities for an estimated 500km of existing rural roads in Niger State as

well as design studies, safeguard assessments, upgrading and/or rehabilitation, and

related supervision activities for approximately 20 river crossings on rural roads in Niger.

Component 2: Community-based road maintenance and annual mechanized

maintenance. This includes the maintenance of the roads rehabilitated under Component

1.

Component 3: Project Management and Strengthening of State & Federal Road Sector

Institutional, Policy and Regulatory Framework. This aims at addressing institutional

capacity gaps at the sub-national level regarding rural road assets’ management, and at

developing and implementing sound rural transport policies.

This report highlights the progress made and challenges faced by the project in the

period under review.

The implementation of the project is being carried out by the State Project

Implementation Unit (SPIU) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The oversight of the SPIU is undertaken by the State Project Monitoring Committee

(SPMC), which comprises representatives of Ministries of Finance, Planning Commission,

Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Justice, Works, Agriculture and Rural

Development.

The project is currently being implemented in seven (7) Local Government Areas of the

State. The List of roads currently being rehabilitated and contract details is shown in the

Consult Nigeria Limited was

aired on NTA Minna.

Covered and aired the World

Bank and French Development

Agency Mission visit to the

State.

Result Observed (New Values, Norms Behaviours): People are becoming more

aware of RAMP-2 activities in the State.

6.0 Progress on Infrastructure

Activities of the infrastructure engineers in the period under review include supervision of

community based maintenance group of the pilot road and oversight function over the

Supervising Consultant for the 176km rural road. Other activities include the assessment

of Rafinyashi – Shata pilot road for the second annual mechanized maintenance.

7.0 Progress on Environmental and Social Safeguards

Environmental Safeguards

The project has been assigned an Environmental Screen Category “B”. This rating is

based on the scope of the project, which indicates limited adverse environmental and

social impacts.

Social Safeguards

The project triggers two social safeguards policies: the Physical and Cultural Resources

(OP/BP 4.11) and Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12), the field visits during projects

preparation indicate that there are likely to be major significant negative impacts during

project implementation, especially as the project does not contemplate building new

roads and will essentially remain within the existing right-of-way.

Comments: The information required based on the implementation/enforcement of

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) was cleared on 3rd June 2015 from

World Bank, its enforcement/implementation by the Contractor/Supervisory Consultant

would begin by the first week of July, 2015.

8.0 Progress on Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and Evaluation activities include; monthly, quarterly, mid-year and annual

reports production on the project activities and progress.

Monitoring of work progress on the 176km rural roads on-going in the 3 Lots in 7

Review of Workplan and Budget.



The 2015 workplan and budget and the 2015 procurement plan have been reviewed to

differ the activities that cannot be achieved in the year and introduce some that are very

necessary in the event of current realities. The reviewed workplan and budget have been

sent to the World Bank for clearance.

10.0 Performance Evaluation

The project has attained some progress with the 176km rural roads rehabilitation on-

going in the State and nearing completion.

The routine maintenance along the only 8.1km Rafinyashi – Shata pilot road by RASHA

ROAD MAINTENANCE COOPERATIVE SOCIETY consisting of 7 male and 3 female

members is impacting as the road has been kept motorable for about 2 years now,

lessons learnt are being documented and archived for future references. The first annual

mechanized maintenance is instrumental to the motorable condition along the road.

Prioritization of the 330km rural roads and river crossings has reached advanced stage

and the procurement process will soon commence. So far in the period under review,

based on the planned and available trainings, only the drivers have been trained to

improve their driving skills, road safety and precaution.

The World Bank and AFD visited the State in a joint implementation support mission

from 22nd-25th June, 2015 to evaluate the project implementation progress in the state.

The mission visited Lots 1 and 2 of the ongoing 176km rural roads construction under

the first phase of the project implementation in the state. The project implementation in

the state is rated satisfactory by the Mission.

Hence, the project implementation in the State is Satisfactory.

11.0 Challenges
