Instead of asphalt, the government has decided to replace flood-prone community roads with concrete. As such, it has provided contracts to residents of those communities, in a process aimed at not only helping them generate funds, but build capacity to bid on other projects, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill has said.
The Ministry of Public Works has rolled out the programme, which will be the guide for residents who bid to build concrete roads and other labour-intensive projects, to assist communities and build capacity for the expanding construction and infrastructure sector.
