In Madagascar, a muddy road with deep holes can paralyze cars for days. For years, the poor condition of the RN44, the main road to the Alaotra Mangoro Region, has kept citizens from getting the medical attention they need, and stunting the agricultural productivity and potential the region is known for. Stalled trucks were also the target of ambushes, making the trip as dangerous as it was arduous. A 40km section of the Route Nationale (RN44) is now completed resulting in reduced travel time between Marovoay and Vohidiala from eight hours to three hours. Farmers are already happy to see an increase in their prices now that they can easily reach Ambatondrazaka, the capital city of the region, where they can set better prices for their products.
