Standard priority

Every Bridging Africa site is assessed on the same four measures, by the same team, so this number can be compared directly against any other project on this site.

66
/ 100
Life-safety & flood risk3/5 · counts 35%

How dangerous the crossing is today: flood frequency, water speed and recorded incidents.

Population impact3/5 · counts 30%

How many people depend on this crossing, and how often they have to make it.

Access criticality3/5 · counts 20%

What sits on the other side: schools, clinics, work, and whether any alternative route exists.

Cost-efficiency5/5 · counts 15%

People served per Rand of build cost. It sets the order we build in, never whether we build.
