Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
An estimated one billion people in low-income countries lack access to an all-weather road. High mobility costs cut into the disposable income of the poor, who often lack reliable and affordable public transportation and cannot easily access schools, jobs and markets.
In countries and communities impacted by fragility, conflict and violence (FCV), these challenges are compounded even further. The absence of safe and affordable roads and transport systems also impedes people’s access to security, humanitarian assistance, and basic services. This lack of connectivity greatly impedes economic growth, long-term development and stability.
By 2030, up to half of the people living in extreme poverty will be in fragile and conflict-affected settings. While extreme poverty is going down around the globe, it is increasing in countries impacted by fragility and conflict. Transport can play an important role in conflict mitigation and securing peace by connecting at-risk populations, and rebuilding social cohesion by better integrating marginalized communities. This makes it imperative to design projects that respond to the underlying drivers of fragility and to connect communities by providing safe and affordable transportation that supports social and economic integration in fragile areas.
