The index has been adopted for the Results Measurement System (RMS)2 of the 14th round of the International Development Association (IDA-14) which was launched in July, 2005. The Index was developed in response to the consensus led by borrowers that it identifies an important priority for poverty reduction strategies in view of the established links between physical isolation and poverty. This provides stronger linkage to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and better assesses the contribution of IDA assistance to the sustainable development of the beneficiary countries. The Rural Access Index provides a consistent basis for estimating the proportion of the rural population which has adequate access to the transport system. 2014-03-26T21:23:44Z 2014-03-26T21:23:44Z 2006-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2006/01/6762898/rural-access-index-key-develpment-indicator http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17414 English en_US Transport paper series;no.
