Synopsis Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries by : Jasper Cook
Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries provides a comprehensive coverage of the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of rural roads in developing countries and emerging nations. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in the developing world, focusing on rural roads which provide important links from villages and farms to markets and offer the public access to health, education, and other services essential for sustainable development. Most textbooks on road engineering are based on experience in industrialised countries with temperate climates or deal only with specific issues, with many aspects of the design and construction of roads in developing regions stemming from inappropriate research undertaken in Europe and the USA. These approaches are frequently unsuitable and unsustainable for rural road network environments, particularly in low to middle income countries. This book takes on board a more recent research and application focus on rural roads, integrating it for a broad range of readers to access current information on good practice for sustainable road engineering in developing countries. The book particularly suits transportation engineers, development professionals, and graduate students in civil engineering.

Synopsis Road Engineering for Development by : Richard Robinson
Developing countries in the tropics have different natural conditions and different institutional and financial situations to industrialized countries. However, most textbooks on highway engineering are based on experience from industrialized countries with temperate climates, and deal only with specific problems. Road Engineering for Development (published as Highway and Traffic Engineering in Developing Countries in its first edition) provides a comprehensive description of the planning, design, construction and maintenance of roads in developing countries. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in this area. The technical content of the book has been fully updated and current development issues are focused on. Designed as a fundamental text for civil engineering students this book also offers a broad, practical view of the subject for practising engineers. It has been written with the assistance of a number of world-renowned specialist professional engineers with many years experience in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Central America.

Synopsis Choosing Rural Road Investments to Help Reduce Poverty by : Dominique Van de Walle
A change in the transport sector's current approach to selecting rural road investments is warranted. A proposed approach builds on some of the poverty-focused "hybrid" methods found in recent rural road appraisals, recognizing that an important share of the benefits to the poor from rural roads cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Synopsis Institutional Considerations in Rural Roads Projects by : Cynthia C. Cook
This paper explores institutional issues that frequently arise in rural roads projects or components. It is based upon a review of experience with some 50 World Bank-financed projects containing rural road components. Its objective is to provide guidance to project designers and program planners on factors which should be taken into account in establishing the institutional framework for rural roads planning, construction, and maintenance. It also addresses the institutional issues raised by rural roads projects under three broad headings. First, it considers the place of rural roads within the broader policy environment and the issues which may need to be addressed at this level. Secondly, the paper considers institutional issues that relate to the choice among organizational options for project execution. The third part of the paper deals in greater detail with the role of local participation in rural roads projects.
