The Ministry of Local Government under NOSP is going to construct 2,500km of Community Access Roads (CARS) in the selected 81 districts with high production of Oilseeds.
The Identification and selection of Community Access Roads that require intervention and prioritization will be done through a consultative and participatory process at the District, Sub- County and Multi-stakeholder Platform levels in accordance with the Local Government Planning Framework
This is to improve Local Level Public Transportation Infrastructure to facilitate Commercialization of the Oilseed Sector by reducing transaction costs and increase farmers income through improved Community Access Roads network in the districts. While in Omoro District, Mr. Yasin Ssendaula the Project Coordinator said, the project will benefit subsistence smallholder farmers, 60% women, 40% men and youth growing oilseeds. He added that they expect the districts to select CARS requiring intervention with their estimated length of 30 km in two Sub -Counties with potential in Oilseeds production.
