Rural infrastructure projects, including roads, electrification, and water supply systems, are key to employment generation and rural economic development. These projects repair the rift between urban and rural settings by improving service delivery and enhancing welfare for rural people. With positive rural infrastructure development, agricultural activities will be enhanced, since these rural infrastructures will provide water, seeds, and other raw materials required by the farmer concurrently to facilitate productivity and generate employment in agriculture. Strategic investments in rural infrastructure coupled with skills development also contribute to structural change in the rural economies and create more employment opportunities for unskilled workers.
