MRD is the implementing agency for Component 2 of the Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds to finance goods, works, and consulting services to be procured under the Project. The PIT supports and facilitates executing teams at the provincial level through the Provincial Departments of Rural Development (PDRD) in their component implementation, and is responsible for project management and coordination, procurement and finance, reporting and communicating with the World Bank and key stakeholders.

The principal objective of the study is to identify the problems with rural mobility in the Cambodia that are hindering development and to develop a strategy or interventions that can be implemented by policymakers, task managers, program officers, community planners, NGOs, and the like to enhance the provision of transport services. The situation of the project area in provinces of Kratie, Kampong Cham, and Tboung Khmum should be outlined, a plan of actions described with a linkage to overall plans (if any), who is responsible, timeframe proposed, and pitfalls considered.

The study needs, in short, to survey what is going on in the field of rural mobility within and outside the specific region or country to draw lessons from other cases. The study should have an approach where different transport solutions are considered based on conditions and potentials where transport services and infrastructure are integrated, though the specific interventions should focus on the mobility. Due to various standards of roads and population density on a specific route, the study must also consider the linkages between motorized and nonmotorized transport. The study should succinctly summarize the rationale and justification for improving rural mobility, review its contribution to the objectives of increasing agricultural productivity and rural welfare and to facilitating access to economic and social services.
