The evaluation report on multimodal transport sub-sector: the third and final evaluation report on the second United Nations Transport and Communication Decade in Africa (UNTACDA II) 1991-2000

Abstract

The UNTACDA II sub-sectoral evaluation report in the field of Multimodal Transport (MT) has been prepared according to the revised terms of reference for preparation of modal reports. The content of various chapters are based on information received from countries RECs, United Nations agencies and other activities carried out by ECA under the regular work programme. Reports received from countries have treated multimodal transport as concept, therefore issues which they have reported on depend very much on their activities which they carried out in implementing substantive UNTACDA II programme under the various modes. It is emphasized that while developing the MT countries should bare in mind the need for simplification of relationships between transport providers and users coupled with seeking all opportunities for acquiring the latest transport technologies applicable to the subsector and broadening the expertise necessary for the management of the sub-sector.
