| dc.description | Before independence Baringo was a closed district with lagging
development. During the 1980s, the pace of development increased tremendously
due, perhaps, to the opening-up of the district by way of investments in road.
Road projects are an integral part of Kenya's regional development
policy. Investment in roads is considered to have potential and desirable
impact on standards of living. However, any type of infrastructure investment
invariably results in social, economic political and environmental changes
that were Initially neither exacted nor desired.
The proposed study is an attempt to assess the social and economic
impacts of rural roads on different, household , in the district. The analysis
will focus ori the processes of social and economic changes which have
accompanied or resulted from investments on road networks in Baringc District
over the last ten vears. | |
