Interactions between improved rural access infrastructure and transport services provision, Report of Tanzania Surveys
This report summarises research findings following surveys of 6 roads in Tanzania that had received investments in the past decade
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). This report summarises research findings following surveys of six roads in Tanzania that had received investments in the past decade, including five investments to remove ‘bottlenecks’ that had restricted all-season access. Historic traffic data sets available from before and after the investments were supplemented by 2019 data collected by this project. This report contains qualitative and quantitative data from the Tanzania 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)
