Rapid Impact Assessment in the Highway Sector
Most road networks around the world are impacted by natural and man-made hazards. Natural hazards are mostly climate- and geologically-induced, and landslides, debris flows, inland and coastal floods, earthquakes and drifting snow are among the most common. Man-made hazards include collisions and sabotage, for example, while forest fires can be sparked by extreme heat and careless or intentional ignition by the general public. The more severe of these hazards can impact large areas for long durations, [...]

Well-Prepared Projects in Low- and Middle-Income Countries - A PIARC Technical Report
The issue of good preparation of road projects was already dealt with by PIARC Taskforce 1.1 in 2020 and 2021.
