The third and final evaluation report on the second United Nations transport and communications decade in Africa (UNTACDA ll), 1991-2000 : assessment of progress made in the implementation of UNTACDA II programme projects

Abstract

Following the initial evaluation of the UNTACDA II programme, there were 708 projects (508 in transport sector and 200 in the communication sector) and 6 major themes which were SSATP, the Yamoussoukro Declaration on a new African airtransport policy, transport equipment manufacture, HRID, trans-african highways and the transport database. No new project submission has been accepted since then. From 1994, RMC which was responsible for accepting projects was transformed into the UNTACDA II programme promotion committee. Nevertheless, a review of the various reports received showed that some projects had been modified, particularly in their tabulation ; Some increased when the studies planned under the programme received financing upon completion (i) of work on the ground (ii) of the acquisition and/or installation of equipment and facilities. (b) Some decreased when (i) the initial financing required proved insufficient as a result of rising cost (ii) the resources to be mobilized were not forthcoming and (iii) certain project components became irrelevant and were abandoned.
