本文提请注意乔斯高原，尼日利亚的越野社区所面临的具体问题。它认为，许多非公路社区的成员变得更加孤立，更加不平等，至少部分原因是他们所在地区的公路建设，1986年至1994年实行的结构调整方案加剧了他们的问题。经济、社会福利和政治问题将依次得到审查。就如何以有限的费用协助越野社区提出了建议。然而，研究报告的结论是，在充分满足非公路社区的需要之前，必须对以扶贫为重点的发展作出更大的政治承诺。
This article draws attention to the specific problems faced by off-road communities on the Jos Plateau, Nigeria. It contends that many members of off-road communities have become more isolated, more unequal, at least in part because of road construction in their region, and that the structural adjustment programme in place between 1986 and 1994 has exacerbated their problems. Economic, social welfare and political issues are examined in turn. Suggestions are made regarding ways off-road communities could be assisted at limited cost. However, the study concludes that there will have to be much greater political commitment to poverty-focused development before the needs of off-road communities are adequately addressed.
