The study discusses the current rural transport situation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by examining transport gaps, road networks, and access to transport services and vehicles. The paper suggests ways to improve rural travel and transport in which intermediate means of transport (IMTs) play a major role. The authors examine three themes: How poor roads and expensive transport means and services constrain economic and social development in rural areas; How IMTs-ranging from wheelbarrows to motorcycles-improve women's lives, save time, and increase productivity; How efficient IMTs, combined with low-cost rural infrastructure, encourage more private use of IMTs.
