Ineffective rural transport services are a major obstacle to economic and social development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Alleviating poverty requires improved access to social and economic facilities. And, in turn, improving access hinges on better transport infractructure, including roads, tracks, footpaths, and footbridges.
