Resumen
Descripción
This paper describes the establishment
of the Rural Access Index, one of several Transport Headline
Indicators endorsed by the World Bank Transport Sector Board
in 2003. The index has been adopted for the Results
Measurement System (RMS)2 of the 14th round of the
International Development Association (IDA-14) which was
launched in July, 2005. The Index was developed in response
to the consensus led by borrowers that it identifies an
important priority for poverty reduction strategies in view
of the established links between physical isolation and
poverty. This provides stronger linkage to the Millennium
Development Goals (MDG) and better assesses the contribution
of IDA assistance to the sustainable development of the
beneficiary countries. The Rural Access Index provides a
consistent basis for estimating the proportion of the rural
population which has adequate access to the transport system.
