V- RATIONALE BEHIND THIS PROJECT
During the rainy season, inhabitants in Phneou Commune have limited ability in
transferring goods to the market due to the flood; to reach the market, people need
to travel by foot, and because of the lack of road leading into the commune, almost
no transportation ever reach the three village. The new road will provide people with
direct access to their destination within a short period of time and allow
transportation into the commune.
