Many roads have been constructed within the last 15 years with funding from WFP and
others. These roads have contributed to livelihood improvements through increased
mobility of people and goods and subsequent markets that have developed. Entrepreneurs
have seized opportunities to set up businesses which have thrived in some cases.
Small, livelihood developments which were set up as auxiliary projects to the road
developments have been successful only in the short term, with insufficient support to ensure long term improvements.
Road maintenance is also an issue which needs addressing to ensure long term impacts are safeguarded.
Many sections of road not only link populations to markets and each other, but also link resources to them. For example enabling easy access of forest products to the road increases the potential viability of forest enterprises. Similarly, in some
places, micro projects were established along the roads to improve the livelihoods of targeted groups with the newly created market access.
