Improved rural transport is needed to reduce poverty, improve livelihoods, increase economic growth and provide better access to health, education and other services. The work presented here is a methodology for the rapid assessment of rural transport services, and lessons from its pilot implementation in various provinces in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Tanzania and Zambia. The work was commissioned by the World Bank, which hosts the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Program (SSATP). The work was contracted to Practical Action Consulting (PAC) in collaboration with WSP. The implementing team comprised active members of the International Forum for Rural Transport and Development (IFRTD).
The rapid methodology developed and used in these studies was designed to provide, at relatively low cost, an overview of the key rural transport issues within an area that would allow informed debate and subsequent policy action. It is hoped that these reports will stimulate useful discussion on how rural transport services can be improved and made more sustainable.
The methodology was developed by a nine-person team that first met in Ethiopia in April 2005. The team comprised Paul Starkey (Team Leader, UK), Peter Njenga (IFRTD, Kenya), Stephen Newport (WSP, UK), Abdul Awadh (Tanzania), Gnanderman Sirp頨Burkina Faso), Guy Kemtsop (Cameroon), Henry Musonda (Zambia), Liz Tapper (PAC, UK) and Paul Murray (ORH, UK). Priyanthi Fernando, of CEPA, Sri Lanka, assisted with planning the methodology and appraising the results and conclusions.
The reports include overview of the methodology, prepared by the Team Leader and published as SSATP Working Paper 87A. There is also a summary of the many lessons learned, and their implications for rural transport policy and practice. This was also prepared by Paul Starkey and is published as SSATP Working Paper 87B. These overviews draw on the five detailed provincial reports, relating to Boucle du Mouhoun, Burkina Faso (prepared by Dr Gnanderman Sirp马 Southern Province, Cameroon (Guy Kemtsop), Iringa and Singida Regions of Tanzania (Abdul Awadh) and Luapula Province, Zambia (Henry Musonga).
