Given such complexities, constructing transport infrastructure as well as properly maintaining it is certainly a key challenge for the Congo Basin countries. Recent studies indicate that investment required per kilometer of new roads is substantially higher than in other regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the same applies for maintenance. The physical capital of transport infrastructure is deteriorated in the Congo Basin. The ratio of classify roads in good and fair conditions range from 25 percent in Republic of Congo to 68 percent in the Central African Republic, which is globally lower than the average for low-income countries (LICs) and resource-rich countries. Other transportation assets (railways and river system) are also limited: the railway network is essentially a legacy of the colonial era and mainly used for mineral transportation, while the river system is basically only marginal.Le bassin du Congo pâtit d’une infrastructure de transport d’une extrêmement mauvaise qualité qui entrave la croissance économique. Tant les pays que les entités régionales se sont fortement engagés à combler ce déficit d’infrastructures et les impacts induits liés aux infrastructures risquent de générer d’importantes pressions sur les forêts. Afin de permettre un développement responsable, les investissements futurs devront se focaliser sur les approches suivantes : 1) Améliorer la planification du transport aux niveaux local, national et régional ; 2) Encourager les réseaux de transport multimodal. 3) Évaluer correctement les impacts des investissements dans le transport avant qu’ils ne se manifestent. Ce Document de travail nº 3 consacré aux infrastructures de transport est l’un des résultats de l’étude globale « Dynamiques de déforestation dans le bassin du Congo : Réconcilier la croissance économique et la protection de la forêt » Il se structure de la façon suivante : Le chapitre 1 traite des infrastructures de transport : un réseau insuffisant et détérioré ; le chapitre 2 décrit comment le mauvais état de l’infrastructure de transport a « protégé » les forêts et propose une typologie des impacts des infrastructures de transport sur les forêts ; Le chapitre 3 tâche de répondre à l ;a question suivante : Le développement futur du transport représente-t-il une menace pour les forêts du bassin du Congo ?en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO FORESTACTION PLANADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSADVERSE IMPACTSAERIAL PHOTOGRAPHSAESTHETIC VALUESAFFORESTATIONAFRICAN FORESTAGRICULTUREAGROFORESTRYAMAZON BASINBASE CAMPBASIN FORESTBASIN FORESTSBASINSBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOMASSBIOMASS CARBONBRAZILIAN AMAZONCANOPYCARBON CONTENTCARBON DENSITYCARBON RETENTIONCARBON STOCKCARBON STOCK DENSITYCERTIFIED FORESTSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOASTAL AREASCOMMERCIAL FORESTRYCOMMERCIAL LOGGINGCOMMERCIAL LOGGING OPERATIONSCOMMERCIAL SPECIESCOMMUNITY FORESTCOMMUNITY FOREST MANAGEMENTCOMMUNITY FORESTRYCONCESSIONCONCESSION AREACONSERVATION PRINCIPLESCONSERVATION VALUECONVERSION OF FORESTDEFORESTATIONDEGRADATIONDEGRADATION RATESDEGRADED FORESTDEGRADED FORESTSDEMAND FOR TIMBERDENSE FORESTDIVERSITY OF SPECIESDOMESTIC TIMBER PRODUCTIONDRIVERS OF DEFORESTATIONECOLOGICAL IMPACTECOLOGICAL IMPACTSECOLOGICAL SERVICESECOSYSTEMEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTEQUILIBRIUMEROSIONEXPANSION OF PLANTATIONSEXTRACTION RATESFIELD STUDIESFIREWOODFLOODSFOOD SECURITYFORESTFOREST AREAFOREST AREASFOREST CARBONFOREST CARBON STOCKFOREST CARBON STOCKSFOREST CERTIFICATIONFOREST CLASSESFOREST CONCESSIONSFOREST CONSERVATIONFOREST COVERFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST DYNAMICSFOREST ECOLOGYFOREST ECOSYSTEMSFOREST ENTERPRISESFOREST ESTATEFOREST FLOORFOREST GOVERNANCEFOREST INDUSTRIESFOREST INDUSTRYFOREST INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTFOREST LANDFOREST LANDSFOREST LAWFOREST LAW ENFORCEMENTFOREST LAWSFOREST LOSSFOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNINGFOREST OPERATIONSFOREST PATCHESFOREST PRESERVATIONFOREST PRODUCTIONFOREST PROTECTIONFOREST REGENERATIONFOREST RESEARCHFOREST RESOURCESFOREST SECTORFOREST SERVICEFOREST STEWARDSHIPFOREST TENUREFOREST TYPEFOREST ZONESFORESTRY LAWFORESTRY MANAGEMENTFORESTRY RESEARCHFORESTRY SECTORGHGGLOBAL FORESTGLOBAL FOREST RESOURCESGLOBAL FOREST RESOURCES ASSESSMENTGRASSLANDGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESGREENHOUSE GASES EMISSIONSHUMAN INTERVENTIONHUNTINGHUNTING PRESSUREHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEILLEGAL LOGGINGILLEGAL TIMBERIMPACTS ON BIODIVERSITYINDUSTRIAL LOGGINGINTERNATIONAL FORESTRY RESEARCHISSUESLAKESLAND AREALAND COVERLAND USELAND-COVERLAND-COVER TYPESLANDSCAPELARGE TREESLIVELIHOODSLOG PRODUCTIONLOGGINGLOGGING COMPANIESLOGGING CONCESSIONSLOGGING ROADSLOGSLOWLAND TROPICAL FORESTSMANAGED FORESTSMANGROVE FORESTMETALSMONTANE FORESTNATURAL DISTURBANCESNATURAL FOREST RESOURCESNATURAL FORESTSNATURAL RESOURCESNATUREOIL PRODUCTIONOPEN ACCESSPARTICIPATORY FORESTRYPHPLANTPLANT SPECIESPLATINUMPOPULATION DENSITYPPPRIMARY FORESTPRIMARY FORESTSRAINFALLRAINFORESTREFORESTATIONREGENERATIONRESTAURANTSROAD NETWORKSROADSSAVANNASET ASIDESOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSPECIES COMPOSITIONSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE LOGGINGSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTIMBERTIMBER COMPANIESTIMBER DEMANDTIMBER HARVESTTIMBER IMPORTSTIMBER MANAGEMENTTIMBER PROCESSINGTIMBER PRODUCTIONTIMBER PRODUCTSTIMBER RESOURCESTIMBER SALESTIMBER SPECIESTIMBER SUPPLYTIMBER TRADETIMBER VALUETIMBER-PROCESSING INDUSTRYTREETREE SPECIESTREESTROPICAL DRY FORESTTROPICAL FORESTTROPICAL FOREST MANAGEMENTTROPICAL FOREST REGIONSTROPICAL FORESTSTROPICAL RAINFORESTTROPICAL REGIONSUNDISTURBED FORESTURBAN CENTERSURBAN POPULATIONSVEGETATIONWOODWOOD EXTRACTIONWOOD PROCESSINGWOOD PRODUCTIONWOOD PRODUCTSWOOD WASTEWOODLANDWOODLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/16951
