Transport

A Practical Action community road building project in Sri Lanka, working in partnership with community members and Plan International. The women are spreading a fine gravel as the surface layer - this will be rolled in later.Our work in the transport sector focuses on projects which address the problems of access and mobility for rural and urban poor people. We advocate approaches that strengthen the capacity of communities to control, manage and influence transport systems.

We work with rural and urban communities, transport service providers and local and national authorities in order to analyse their needs and explore the options that could help them.
