Transport and poverty reduction - integrating the poverty reduction focus into transport sector planning

Abstract

The main objective of the report is to provide recommendations on the ways in which the formulation of transport policy in Sub-Saharan Africa could be improved, as to better address the needs of poorer groups in society. Major themes are a review of the present practices in transport policy formulation and the way which presently the needs of such poorer people are addressed. Also the policy of the EU with respect to transport and poverty issues has been reviewed. In this report the lessons learned by other institutions are explicitly taken into account and the findings have been presented in a workshop.
This note summarises the background and objectives of the commissioned study, research findings, and main conclusions.
