Liberian-Swedish Access Driven Rural Development Programme (LISA) Tillgänglighetsdriven landsbygdsutveckling i Liberia (LISA) Access to transport is essential for agrarian development in isolated rural areas. Access driven rural development focusing on upgrading of rural footpaths to motorcycle taxi-accessible tracks promotes market integration, improves access to education and health facilities, and creates jobs for rural youth, with few negative consequences. The track concept is focusing on socio-economic development and providing basic accessibility with more immediate benefits to the rural poor.

Since most motorized transport in deep rural areas takes place by motorcycle taxi, track construction can complement or serve as an alternative to more costly feeder road rehabilitation or construction. 

Physical infrastructure only one part of the solution. Roads and tracks are not a goal in itself, only a means to an end. Social infrastructure (CBOs, VSLA groups, etc.) including post-construction development will create sustainability and economic and social development in rural areas. Tillgång till transporter är avgörande för jordbrukets utveckling i isolerade landsbygdsområden. En tillgänglighetsdriven landsbygdsutveckling med fokus på att uppgradera gångvägar på landsbygden till spår som är tillgängliga med motorcykeltaxi främjar marknadsintegration, förbättrar tillgången till utbildning och hälso- och sjukvårdsinrättningar och skapar arbetstillfällen för ungdomar på landsbygden, med få negativa konsekvenser. Spårkonceptet fokuserar på socioekonomisk utveckling och att ge grundläggande tillgänglighet med mer omedelbara fördelar för de fattiga på landsbygden.
Eftersom de flesta motoriserade transporter i djupa landsbygdsområden sker med motorcykeltaxi kan spårbyggen komplettera eller fungera som ett alternativ till mer kostsamma upprustning eller byggande av matarvägar.
Fysisk infrastruktur är bara en del av lösningen. Vägar och spår är inte ett mål, bara ett medel för att nå ett mål. Social infrastruktur (CBO:er, VSLA-grupper, etc.) inklusive utveckling efter konstruktion kommer att skapa hållbarhet och ekonomisk och social utveckling på landsbygden. The overall objectives are to:
Improve village access to reduce absolute poverty levels; facilitate year-round access to and delivery of agricultural, health, educational and social services; create new village enterprises thus creating income earning opportunities for women, men, young women and young men in rural areas; change how individuals think about decision making at local and community levels, in favor of transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness; change the citizens sense of personal efficacy and confidence that they can affect community decision making; create community cohesion and enhance the participating communities ability to act collectively, and increase the capabilities of local authorities and communities to sustain road and village access roads.

The following outcomes are anticipated by the end of the project:
Improved access to markets and sales, particularly for small-scale women and men farmers living in poverty; increased utilization of clinics and school attendance in target areas; reduction in transport charges as due to increased traffic along feeder and village access roads; increase in small-scale business opportunities; generation of employment opportunities linked to transportation and road maintenance services, including those linked to motorcycle taxis businesses.
