The main achievement of the Rural Roads
Project with regard to gender issues was the improvement of
the bridle paths. This was not simply a result of female
representation on the Rural Road Committees, which were the
road rehabilitation crews, but also because during the
participatory process of prioritizing roads to be improved,
women, being the most frequent users of this type of road,
enthusiastically expressed themselves and described how the
lack of accessibility and transport services had impeded
them in their daily lives. In addition, their basic needs
were taken into consideration.
