The Rural Access Program (RAP) was established in partnership between the Government of Yemen and the International Development Association (IDA) as a key strategic tool to support the government's Poverty Reduction Strategy. RAP was established by virtue of the decision of the Minister of Public Works and Highways no. 46 of 2001 and the Prime Minister's decree no. 84 of 2001 with the aim of breaking isolation, reducing the effects of poverty, improving the living conditions of the rural population, and working to establish a rural road network linked to the main road network to ensure all- weather access to basic services for the population of rural areas.
RAP works on: Strategic studies, detailed studies and designs, implementation and rehabilitation of rural roads, training and capacity building, and community awareness. RAP aims to contribute to achieving sustainable development through working to best practices and applying international standards for the implementation of rural road projects.
