RURAL LIVELIHOODS AND ECONOMIC ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME (RLEEP) Due to the innovative nature of the Programme and the need to test and demonstrate new approaches to rural poverty reduction through commercial instruments and PPPs, RLEEP will be implemented through a pilot phase of three years followed by an expansion phase lasting a further five years. There will be a detailed review towards the end of the pilot phase so that lessons learned can be employed to perform adjustments to the design of the
expansion phase. The Programme was initially designed with three components, however, a fourth component (Infrastructure) was introduced at a later stage to ensure that the Programme fully realize its goal. The programme consists of the following components: 1) Value chain and mobilisaiton and organisation; 2) Agricultural productivity enhancement and commercialisation; 3) Programme facilitation and management; and 4) Infrastructure.
Bogue Road Improvement Project PROJECT AREA/LOCATION
The Bogue Road is the major entrance point to Montego Bay. The city, with a population estimated at 120.000 people (4% of the total), is often referred to as the country's touristic capital, and is part of the Saint James Parish which is located along the north western coast of Jamaica. Saint James is one of the fastest growing parishes in the island with large credits going to Montego Bay. The city has an international airport (the Donald Sangster International Airport) as well as sea port facilities (cruise ship and cargo ship pier). Major economic activity includes tourism, manufacturing and agriculture.  As a major tourist center in Jamaica, Montego Bay employs one in four persons in tourism.  Over 500,000 tourists visit annually, and this accounts for one-third of the revenue generated by tourism island-wide. 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The general objectives of this project are: i) to enhance productivity by reducing the economic loss the country has to sustain when people are left stranded in traffic congestion, ii) to reduce the high fuel consumption due to this congestion, iii) to reduce vehicle operating cost (VOC) due to the poor quality of the road, and iv) to improve road safety through the installation of traffic signs and street lighting. The specific objective is to improve 6 km of road from the existing two lane highway to a four lane divided highway with improved intersection designs, a new bridge, a rehabilitated bridge and drainage facilities.

The general objectives of the Develi project are to increase agricultural production and incomes, expand rural employment opportunities and contribute to long-term irrigation and energy development in Turkey. The specific objective of this project is to divert 114 hm� of water from the Zamant  River to Develi closed basin to irrigate a total area of 9,721 ha , and to secure the Protection of Sultansazl and Yay lakes ecosystem.


PROJECT COMPONENTS:

a- Tunnel works: The most important part of the project is the 10700 m Tunnel. The Tunnel has a 3.5 m diameter and is made of reinforced concrete with horse-shoe cross section. Zamant? tunnel is constructed by drill and blast excavation methods and support techniques commonly used in the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (

b- The Weir is a water intake concrete structure for the diversion of around 114 hm3 and guide to the Approach channel
c- The Approach channel is a 1100m long concrete channel which leads and connects to the tunnel .At the outlet of the tunnel there is a 5,345 m concrete conveyance channel 
d- The Chute structure is a last part of the conveyance channel that feeds the future hydro-electric power station 
e-The main irrigation channel is the central part of the new irrigation scheme for 2,010 ha.
f- Haulage works: due to the huge amount of excavation and rocks volume that need to be transported away from the site, and the transport of large amounts of material to the site. This item was identified as a separate component for costing purposes.
g- Miscellaneous Works includes an access road, electricity and communication lines, temporary operation buildings and engineering and administration expenses. 
h- Expropriation costs will be needed for land acquisition required for some works of the project and would be the responsibility of the Turkish authorities.
