Progress report on transport data base programme

Abstract

Implementation for the second part of phase I of the transport data base project has progressed according to the programme agreed upon between the World Bank (Executing Agency for Phase I) and ECA after the ninth Intergovernmental Meeting of African Experts of Transport and Communications held in March, 1993 in Addis Ababa. The project has developed performance indicators for all modes of transport and has also designed methodologies for collecting field data. A network has been created among pilot countries and participating institutions for maintaining progress through exchange of experience. Various technical publications and documents have been prepared on the basis of studies conducted in preparations for phase II of the project. Two seminars have been conducted mainly for the exchange of experience and for the review of the various publications prepared by the project.
