Assessing the Impact of Transport & Energy Infrastructure on Poverty Reduction
This book presents the findings of the technical assistance. Above all, it shows how transport and energy infrastructure contributes to poverty reduction, and why these contributions are important. One new aspect that emerges is that, in addition to their impacts on income dimensions of poverty, transport and energy have significant impacts on nonincome dimensions such as health, education, personal security, and community participation. The book also recommends a series of policy and operational-level refinements for increasing the poverty reduction impact.
