Evaluates project to increase road accessibility to drought-affected areas of Southern Ethiopia. Special PES covers the period 3/76-3/79 and is based on document review, site visits, and interviews with project officials. The project is nearing completion. Approximately 245 km of 6m wide RR 50 standard roads serving 500,000 inhabitants of the Gamo Gofa region have been completed except for some drainage work and some repair of damaged sections. Recent progress is attributed to the priority assigned to the project by the Ethiopian Road Administration (ERA) and to the excellent use made of A.I.D.-financed dozers and graders (dump trucks, however, proved virtually useless). Resourceful consultant field management helped overcome delays caused by heavy rains in the Arba-Minch section, fuel and cement shortages, lack of dump truck spare parts, and labor relations problems. The project's purpose and goal were realized as early as late 1977 when road construction reached the Konso area; impact increased as the road progressed toward Jinka and included significant economic benefits as well as improved relief and rehabilitation assistance. These achievements have not been without cost.
