I have some questions about the roads in rural africa.
As I have gathered, a big hindrance in the way of economic development is the inability to transport goods to your cities, ports, etc.
Africa is a BIG place so building asfalted roads would take alot of time.
What I wonder is how much effort is spent on other types of roads, like gravel roads. Is the government only fixating on paved roads or are they thinking about the alternatives also?
And how much does the rural populace themselves do? This seems to bee an imortant question aswell. What I can take from my limited experience of such maters here in Sweden; a country with little population density in the rural areas. The famers seem to create alot of their own infrastructure that they link to Swedens main roads.
Best regards Dennis.
