| description |
This publication forms part of the work
of the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP)
on identifying and promoting good policies and practices in
rural transport in Africa. It provides an overall framework
for identifying, planning, and prioritizing rural transport
infrastructure and services interventions. Inadequate rural
transport is a major factor contributing to the poverty of
the rural population of most developing countries. For large
parts of rural Africa, walking and headloading are by far
the most important means of transport, most of this effort
being undertaken by women. A key element is to encourage a
holistic understanding of rural transport. In the context of
this paper, the term covers both transport at the village
and farm levels, as well as the transport services and
infrastructure involved with the movement of people and
goods within the village area and between villages, rural
markets, and urban areas. First and foremost, though, the
role of planning and prioritization is emphasized; a process
based on reliable data is introduced, along with the
elements of clarity and transparency. The planning process
includes clearly identified objectives, relevant data,
resources and constraints, and alternative scenarios. The
intended audience for this paper comprises of officials,
planners, economists, and engineers who are concerned with
improving the livelihoods of the rural populations of
Africa. Since the majority of external funding goes into
initiatives for building rural roads, it is argued that much
greater attention needs to be given to the other components
of rural transport systems. The methods for planning and
prioritization of infrastructure and services are discussed,
and suggested further research is articulated. Two
appendices providing examples of road planning and district
planning procedures are included, along with ten figures
interspersed throughout the paper. |
