Motorable Local Roads Bridge Programme (MLRBP) – Phase I

01.10.2010 - 31.05.2016

Lack of access aggravated by absence of bridges and adequately maintained local roads is one of the primary reasons for high incidence of poverty in Nepal.

As part of Switzerland’s contribution to reconstruction, SDC will support the preparation of 100 additional bridges until the end of 2015.
