“Extreme seasonal weather such as floods and droughts as well as frequent use
by heavy goods vehicles in these areas mean that roads need to be properly
maintained. The improved roads have made it easier for children to attend school,
for people to reach hospitals in cases of emergency and for both local farmers
and consumers to reach markets. The average travel times have significantly
reduced.”
