Abstract
This note presents a number of policy
options to improve basic access and promote the mobility of
Pakistan's rural population in support of the
Government's Poverty Reduction Strategy. This is
achieved through more focused and community driven
interventions to meet the direct needs of the rural
population. The current state of rural accessibility and
mobility are examined together with their effect on both the
social and economic dimensions of rural poverty. Key
challenges and constraints to reform are identified. The
note contributes to the current debate within Pakistan with
regard to the better targeting of interventions to assist
the rural poor. It should also be of interest to policy
makers in other countries concerned with how rural transport
policy may be developed to meet the Millennium Development Goals.
