Lessons Learned from PPIAF Ongoing Activities: Core Strategic Transport for Eastern and Southern Africa
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Eastern and Southern Africa has a significant number of major transport corridors that provide trade and mobility for coastal and landlocked countries. In 2008 PPIAF funded the Definition and Investment Strategy for a Core Strategic Transport Network for Eastern and Southern Africa, which examines strategic core transportation networks in the region. The study‟s objective was to diagnose the present and potential future constraints for transport corridor operations, as well as assess the future trade and transport demands and patterns. The analysis prioritized transport corridor infrastructure development requirements, and identified and proposed options for public-private sector participation in the development of the core network. This note seeks to draw out key lessons from this PPIAF-funded study.
