Feeder Roads Alternative and Maintenance Program

Added: Jan 05, 2015 10:43 am Access to markets and basic social services is a key determinant of poverty. Without physical access, rural communities face far greater obstacles in obtaining wealth, health, education, and other social services. In addition, their ability to take advantage of surplus crop production and of employment opportunities is severely constrained. The permanent or seasonal absence of road access in most parts of rural Liberia is a constraining factor in terms of providing rural communities with essential services such as education, primary health care, water supply, local markets and economic opportunities. The availability of such services and opportunities are difficult to sustain without a good quality and well-maintained rural road network.
