<p>In this paper, the applicability of the technical transfer of locally available material-based road repair methods for international development projects is discussed through the review of the implemented projects by the NGO, Community Road Empowerment, where the authors belong. The NGO has implemented training on the locally available material-based road repair methods to the communities and youth in the classroom and onsite thus rural road accessibility has been improved. Not only is the trafficability improved, but also the community or youth self-reliance initiatives have been enhanced leading to the start of medium and small enterprises for sustainable employment.</p><p>After the review of the projects implemented by the authors' NGO, it is found that the types of resources of those projects are grouped into eight. The authors have initiated some projects, and others have been conducted upon request from other international cooperation organisations. The projects have been sourced through several ODA types, technical cooperation, grant aid, and allocation to international organisations, such as UN and Multilateral Development Banks. And it is also revealed that the technical transfer of road repair skills to the communities was conducted in the projects for the following four areas; Infrastructure development, Community development, Promoting social stability for shared prosperity, and Promoting structural economic transformation through economic diversification and industrialization.</p>
