Interactions between improved rural access infrastructure and transport services provision, Report of Nepal Surveys
This project examines how investments in low-volume rural road construction and maintenance affect rural transport services
Abstract
The ‘Interactions: Maintenance-Provision of Access for Rural Transport Services (IMPARTS)’ project examines how investments in low-volume rural road (LVRR) construction (provision) and maintenance (preservation) affect rural transport services (RTS). Two roads in Nepal and six roads in Tanzania were selected for IMPARTS Phase 2 surveys, because of good transport services data from previous studies. New surveys of traffic, users and operators on these roads started in October 2019. This report contains qualitative and quantitative data from the Nepal roads.
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)
