INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR

TRANSPORTATION SUB-SECTOR

The essential requirement for a network has always been a fundamental condition for growth. Connectivity plays a crucial role in both individual and community success stories, evident
in the efficient delivery of essential services. Both internal and external connections guarantee the flow of goods and services, maintaining a smoothly operating economy that supports job
opportunities and ensures food provision for the population. It is unquestionable that infrastructure facilities serve as a foundational element for an empowered citizenry, exerting a significant
impact on a community's prospective capacity, development, and overall growth.

Additionally, the susceptibility of facilities to hazards is assessed to guide decision-makers in determining the way forward. The results of the Climate Disaster Risk Assessment for lifeline
utilities are incorporated into each sectoral analysis matrix to identify adaptation and mitigation measures.

The analysis of sub-sectors utilizes a collaborative approach to formulate a comprehensive infrastructure sector analysis matrix. This consolidated matrix highlights the priorities set by the
municipal government for the entirety of the planning period.
