Rural Access Index, Policy Brief

This Brief was based on the ReCAP supported research project to continue the improvement and uptake of the Rural RAI methodology

Abstract

This Policy Brief was developed based on the ReCAP supported research project to continue the improvement and uptake of the Rural Access Index (RAI) methodology. The RAI is indicator 9.1.1 for the Sustainable Development Goals. The project found that methodology developed in 2016 by the World Bank could be refined to be more accurate and sustainable, and supplemental guidelines have been developed. These guidelines provide a comprehensive overview of the measurement process and include all of the necessary steps and processes to measure and publish RAI.

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)
