FEEDER ROADS ALTERNATIVE AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

The overarching goal of the Feeder Roads Alternative and Maintenance Program (FRAMP) is to support the government of Liberia to develop, operationalize and implement sustainable routine maintenance systems, while piloting innovative, alternative low volume sealed road construction techniques through research and development. The roads constructed under the program will be continually maintained with the buy-in and participation of local communities who will benefit from them.  Under the program, residents of communities served by the roads will also be trained in how to perform routine road maintenance.

Current Activities

  • Ongoing rehabilitation of feeder/farm to market roads in several Liberia rural counties, including, Bong, Nimba, and Lofa Counties.
  • Training residents of communties served by the road in how to perform routine road maintenance work.

Planned Outcomes

  • Develop and operate road maintenance systems through county-level systems under national government technical and managerial oversight;
  • Provide construction oversight for 450 km of farm-to-market roads;
  • Pilot road maintenance activities on selected roads in the four targeted counties;
  • Construct alternative low volume road seals on 50 km of selected roads in the targeted counties.
