39. The project is classified as a Category A project, due to the complexity of environmental
issues associated with waterways improvements and also the uncertainty (lack of details at
project preparation) for most of the sub-projects to be implemented in the widespread project
area. The policies on environment assessment (OP/BP 4.01), natural habitats (OP/BP 4.04) and
physical cultural resources (OP/BP 4.11) have been triggered for the proposed operation.
40. Applicable Environmental Category and Safeguard Polices. The proposed project will
finance road improvement and maintenance activities on the existing rural road network. No
significant and long-term environmental impact is expected from rural road improvement and
maintenance subcomponents. However, works on rural roads in general have impacts resulting
from erosion, dust and noise control, waste disposal during construction and increased access to
remote areas. Road improvements will ensure proper drainage and enhance soil stability, as well
as provide greater vehicular and pedestrian safety by improving road surfaces and embankments
and building bridges. Other impacts can be managed effectively with known mitigation
measures.
41. The construction of the fifty (50) growth center markets will also take place in the
existing market locations and no significant impact is expected from this subcomponent.
However, the project will support the dredging and maintenance of two existing waterways by

waterways, protection works at erosion-prone and vulnerable points along bank lines, enhancing
safety by installation of navigational aids, and provision of landing facilities. The rural
