Conditions of rural roads in developing countries are generally poor, severely limiting people's access to local markets and basic social services (e.g. education and health care). Government services and resources cannot adequately cover the rural areas, therefore it is important for the rural people to put their own efforts to maintain parts of their roads as they wait for government support. To make the peoples' effort efficient and to promote their own road maintenance, a simple new design and construction method for all-weather rural roads using Do-nou has been developed and its effectiveness tested in a previous study. Do-nou is a Japanese term for soil bag and a traditional geotextile. In this paper, technical transfer approaches for the expansion, extension and rootage of Do-nou technology among the rural communities in developing countries has been established; four approaches in four countries have been proposed.
