Resumen
Descripción
In rural areas of the developing world,
where the majority of the poor live, good transport
connectivity through road infrastructure and transport
services is an essential part of the enabling environment
for sustainable growth. A lack of detailed nationwide data
has limited previous efforts to develop measures of access
to roads in rural areas that would guide policy and
investment. The World Bank, with support from DFID, has been
piloting a methodology that exploits advances in digital
technology to assess population distribution and
infrastructure location and quality. The resulting Rural
Access Index (RAI) may serve as a useful and cost effective
tool for governments planning their rural transport programs
and as an indicator of progress towards the achievement of
several of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets.
