The third and final evaluation report on the second united nations transport and communications decade in Africa(UNTACDA II), 1991-2000 : status of transport and communication in Africa

Abstract

Transport is a vital development factor. Indeed, being the principal means of physical access to employment, health, educational and other services, transport would seem to be essential to the welfare of rural and urban people alike. These were the considerations which compelled the international community, as a request of African States, to devote to this sector as well as that of communications two entire decades.
