Abstract

These guidelines are provided to assist rural road authorities and the agencies with responsibility for rural roads to collaborate with the departments charged with regulating transport services and local authorities in order to provide and maintain roads fit-for-purpose for the prevailing transport services. The guidelines derive from the ‘Interactions: Maintenance-Provision of Access for Rural Transport Services (IMPARTS)’ project funded by UK Aid, which examined how investments in low-volume rural road (LVRR) construction (provision) and maintenance (preservation) affect rural transport services (RTS).

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)
