Objective
To improve safe, affordable and sustainable connectivity for rural and urban communities and strengthen the logistics that support trade and service delivery.
Practical interventions
- Rural access roads
- Bridges and transport links
- Logistics corridors
- Public transport infrastructure
- Safe routes to schools and hospitals
- Emergency transport systems
- Sustainable mobility
- Electric mobility where viable
- Agricultural logistics
- Supply chain infrastructure
- Transport infrastructure rehabilitation
- Accessible transport
- Regional connectivity
Challenges addressed
- Rural roads that become impassable in the rainy season
- Long and unsafe journeys to schools, clinics and markets
- High transport costs that reduce farm incomes
- Weak regional connectivity
- Limited emergency and patient transport
Implementation and sustainable operation
Implementation approach
AMAF focuses on links that unlock access to services and markets, especially last-mile roads and bridges. Projects follow national road standards and include labour-based construction to create local jobs.
Sustainable operation
Routine maintenance plans, community road committees and agreements with road authorities protect assets after completion.
