It follows a study on transport costs and prices along the main international trade corridors (Teravaninthorn and Raballand 2008). One of the principal findings of the research on international corridors in Africa was that trucking market structure and regulation differ widely among sub-regions in Sub-Saharan Africa; therefore, transport prices (but not necessarily transport costs)1 differ greatly among sub-regions and corridors. The trucking environment and market structure in West and Central Africa are characterized by cartels offering low transport quality, whereas in East Africa, the trucking environment is more competitive and the market is more mature. Much of the transport price burden along African corridors seems to depend on the political economy of freight logistics.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS ROADSACCESS TO MARKETSACCESSIBILITYAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL VALUEAID EFFECTIVENESSANIMAL-DRAWN CARTSBETTER ROADBICYCLEBICYCLE PATHBICYCLESBIKESBITUMENBRIDGEBRIDGESBUFFER ZONECARCARGOCARSCASH CROPSCATCHMENTCATCHMENT AREACOMMERCIAL FARMERSCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCOSTS OF TRANSPORTCROP PRODUCTIONCROP YIELDSCULVERTSDISABILITIESDISTRICT ROADSDITCHESDRAINAGEECONOMIES OF SCALEELDERLY PEOPLEEXTERNALITIESFARM SIZEFARMERSFEEDER ROADFEEDER ROADSFINANCIAL BURDENFLEET EFFICIENCYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD CROPSFOOD PRICEFOOTBRIDGESFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONGPSGRAVELGRAVEL ROADGRAVEL ROADSHIGH POPULATION DENSITYHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSIMPACT OF TRANSPORTIMTINCOMEINCOME GAPINCOME GROWTHINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINTERMEDIATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATIONINVESTMENT IN ROADSJOURNEYLACK OF INFRASTRUCTURELANDSLIDESLOCAL AUTHORITIESMAIN ROADMAIN ROADSMEANS OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTORCYCLEMOTORCYCLESMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNATIONAL ROADSNATIONAL TRANSPORTOVERLAYPASSENGERPATHSPAVEMENTPEDESTRIANSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPERIODIC MAINTENANCEPIARCPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOORPOOR PEOPLEPOOR ROADPOOR ROAD INFRASTRUCTUREPOPULATION DENSITYPORTSPOTHOLESPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPROFIT MARGINPUBLIC ROADSPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPUBLIC WORKSRAINRECONSTRUCTIONREGIONAL ROADSREMOTE COMMUNITIESREPAVINGRESURFACINGROADROAD ACCESSROAD ACCESSIBILITYROAD ACCIDENTSROAD ALIGNMENTROAD CHARACTERISTICSROAD CONDITIONSROAD DETERIORATIONROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD IMPROVEMENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD INVESTMENTROAD INVESTMENTSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD PLANNINGROAD PROJECTSROAD QUALITYROAD ROUGHNESSROAD SECTORROAD SYSTEMROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT SERVICESROAD TYPEROAD TYPESROAD-USERROUGHNESS PREDICTIONSROUTINE MAINTENANCERURALRURAL ACCESSRURAL ACCESS ROADSRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL CONSUMERSRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL GROWTHRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL MOBILITYRURAL PEOPLERURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL POVERTYRURAL PRICESRURAL ROADRURAL ROAD DENSITYRURAL ROAD INFRASTRUCTURERURAL ROAD INVESTMENTRURAL ROAD INVESTMENTSRURAL ROAD PROJECTSRURAL ROAD REHABILITATIONRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTRURAL TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURESAFETYSECONDARY ROADSSMALL FARMSSPANTAXISTERRAINTERTIARY ROAD NETWORKTRACKSTRAFFICTRAFFIC GENERATIONTRAFFIC GROWTHTRAFFIC LEVELSTRAILTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACCESSTRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITYTRANSPORT BURDENTRANSPORT COSTTRANSPORT COST SAVINGSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PRICETRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT QUALITYTRANSPORT REQUIREMENTSTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT SERVICE PROVIDERSTRANSPORT TARIFFSTRANSPORT TIMETRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION FACILITYTRAVEL TIMETRIPTRUCK TRANSPORTTRUCKINGTRUCKSTRUETUNNELSTYPE OF TRANSPORTTYPES OF ROADSUNPAVED ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTUSER COSTSVALUE OF TIMEVEHICLEVEHICLE MAINTENANCEVEHICLE OPERATINGVEHICLE OPERATING COSTVEHICLE OPERATING COSTSVEHICLE OPERATIONVEHICLE SPEEDVEHICLE TRAFFICVEHICLE TYPESVEHICLESVERGEWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWALKING TIMEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8214-1
