Improving mobility can reduce rural poverty by facilitating women, men, and children to more readily access services (education, health, finance, markets), obtain goods and income, and participate in social, political and community activities.

This publication concentrates on the many and varied types of transport that provide that mobility such as bus services, freight trucks, bush taxis, transport animals, bicycles, or handcarts.
