Abstract

This project provides additional support to implement the uptake and embedment of the Rural Access Index (RAI). The RAI has also been adopted as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9.1.1. This report is concerned with providing policy guidance and a roadmap to achieving IAEG-SDG Tier 1 status by 2025. The report gives key reasons as to why RAI is an important part of wider rural development policies and programmes and summarises some of the other assistance being provided by the international community. The report includes a roadmap for RAI to achieve IAEG-SDGs Tier 1 Status by 2025, including a programme for implementation.

This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
