The total rehabilitation cost for the construction of the 15km road is 497,400.00 USD that will be undertaken in two months. In accordance with the Environment and Social Framework (ESF) compliance commitment agreement and in alignment with the project's Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), all proposed subprojects must undergo an environmental and social screening process. This process is aimed at assessing the environmental and social risks associated with the proposed subprojects and determining the appropriate risk management strategies to be implemented. Further environmental and social monitoring plan has been established to monitor implementation of the activities in the ESIA.

    In recent years, local governments have increasingly focused on food security and sustainability due to the recognized unsustainability of current food systems. Support from city networks, academics, and international organizations has led to numerous projects and initiatives aimed at raising awareness and promoting concrete actions. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for resilient food systems, prompting more cities to develop response strategies.This study investigates how food system actors perceive recent shocks, identifies collective actions and public policies, and offers insights for enhancing food system resilience. It presents findings on shocks and impacts, public policies, and recommended next steps, concluding with key questions and hypotheses for future research on resilient city region food systems.

    The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and FAO's Global Soil Partnership collaborated with experts from across Asia and other regions to produce the first-ever Soil Atlas of Asia. The aim of the Atlas is to raise awareness about the significance of soil to life in Asia among a wide range of audiences, including the general public, decision makers, politicians, teachers, and scientists from other disciplines. The Atlas comprises a series of annotated maps that demonstrate the diversity of soil characteristics across Asia in an easy-to-understand manner. It also explains how soils are formed, the key factors that shape soil characteristics, and why these vary across the continent. Moreover, the Atlas emphasizes the role of soils in shaping our daily lives and highlights the growing pressures on soils resulting from urban expansion, inappropriate land management, pollution, increased demand for food, and climate change. The Atlas encourages people to understand how their actions can help protect and restore soils while reducing degradation processes.
