Rural infrastructure (RI) may be seen as
the complex of physical structures or networks within which
social and economic activities are carried out. These
structures are means to achieving the broader goals of
poverty reduction and economic growth. Rural infrastructure
contributes to these goals by providing essential services
such as water and sanitation; energy for cooking, heat and
light and employment generating commercial activities;
transmission and communication of knowledge and information.
The updating of the global rural development strategy
"From Vision to Action" provided an opportunity to
take stock of experiences, consolidate lessons learned and
synthesize emerging strategies for achieving sustainable RI
service delivery in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. To this end, a
participatory process was undertaken among RI practitioners
at the Bank to develop a "building block" paper,
which focused on four RI sectors: a) rural transport; b)
rural water supply and sanitation; c) rural energy; and d)
rural telecommunication and information. This paper
summarizes some of the main conclusions and recommendations
emerging from this exercise, with a focus on policy and
institutional models. |
