Summary of findings and draft recommendations concerning the establishment of a regional transport data base at ECA

Abstract

This document presents a summary of findings and recommendations from a paper produced in the framework of the analysis of existing means and the proposed implementation of a transport data base at United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) Transport, Communication and Tourism Division (TCTD). It is intended to provide the participants of the launching seminar with background information on the anticipated implemention of this data base and invites them to make comments and suggestions in order to gain the most appropriate set up at TCTD. The full report is scheduled for the end of June 1993 and will be distributed to all parties concerned. As the recommendations contain as well the suggestion of a distribution scheme of TCTD's transport data base to ECA member States, the national and institutional focal points in the region will be invited to comment on this report.
