Hihwa to Reional Trade Route 9, which runs between Savannakhet Province in the eastern Lao People’s Democratic Republic

(Lao PDR) and Viet Nam, was once a potholed impediment to trade. But a new all-weather road project,

conanced by ADB and the Government o the Lao PDR, has reduced travel time to 3 hours rom 9 hours,

bringing a ood o investment to Savannakhet and beneting local businesses. The newly paved Route 9

is providing opportunities beyond agriculture in the orm o restaurants, guesthouses, hotels, and shops

on an increasingly busy conduit or regional trade.

generatin Jobs, Developin Vale chainsAn ADB project to help small agribusinesses in Mongolia to produce premium-value products has

provided $14.72 million in grant and $2 million in technical assistance. As a result o this support,

agro-processing enterprises and herder cooperatives in six western provinces have been able to develop

their inrastructure and value chains, allowing them to produce high-value products or selected niche

markets in an environmentally riendly way. The project has generated about 800 jobs.

sh stocks by reducing destructive shing practices. The project has carried out awareness campaigns

about the impacts o destructive shing on ecosystems, and involved local shermen in identiying

protection areas and action plans. Today, many shermen—who once used bombs and cyanide

to catch sh—are at the oreront o eorts to protect and monitor the rees. As a result, live coral

Boost or Wind Power in India In 2008, ADB approved a loan o up to $113 million to Gujarat Paguthan Energy Corporation (GPEC), now

known as CLP India (CIPL). The nancing was or two wind power projects—100.8 megawatts at Samana,

Gujarat, and 82.4 megawatts at Saundatti, Karnataka. ADB assessments in 2012 show both projects have

been reliable, with an availability ratio in excess o 95%, and CIPL has scaled up its wind power operations

in India to include seven other wind arms.

Solar SessIn Thailand, one o the world’s largest solar arms is not only reducing the kingdom’s reliance on ossil uels

but beneting neighboring communities. The 73-megawatt Lopburi solar plant operated by Natural Energy

Development in Khok Samrong District in central Thailand runs silently, emits no pollutants, and has

brought job opportunities to the area. The plant’s development was helped by an ADB long-term loan

o $70 million equivalent in Thai baht—28% o the total project cost o $250 million.
