    OVERVIEW OF THE WEEK\u2019S FOCUS<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The availability of infrastructure services to meet the demands of businesses, households and other users is a major driver of economic growth and development. A simple definition of infrastructure is the basic facilities and installations that help a government or community run[1]<\/a>. Physical infrastructure covers transportation, power, and communication while social infrastructure includes water supply, sanitation, sewage disposal, education and health. An example of infrastructure is the road network, water supply, and power lines for a new housing development.<\/p>\n

    Good infrastructure is vital for the mother and children who walk distances every day to collect water. Piped clean and safe water means they have time to do other things and that the children do not get sick; in some parts of the country, children miss school just because they have to collect water. Adequate and cheap electricity supply enables students to study when it gets dark without inhaling dangerous fumes from paraffin lamps. The time spent obtaining water and fuel or traveling to markets and service centers is often significant. Good all weather roads and reliable transportation enable farmers to get their goods to market. These all have a considerable impact on the economy.<\/p>\n
