The Lacking Issue: What is Missing from El Rama – Kukra Hill Highway Project

Laura Angulo and Raúl Godínez

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The improvement of road infrastructure in areas of low economic development is one of the mechanisms used to reduce poverty. However, the literature establishes that other conditions or complementary measures are necessary for a correct use of these projects. An example of poor use of road resources is Kukra Hill, where the unequal distribution of benefits originated from the El Rama - Kukra Hill Highway Project affects families with low purchasing power. The conclusions obtained from this research are applicable to the rural sector of other developing countries, making contributions to the study of development projects in favor of the most vulnerable sector of the population.
