Consultation Workshop on Transport Sector Performance Indicators
2005-07-14
Marawila, Sri Lanka, 22-24 April 2005
This workshop is part of an initiative of the Transport and Urban division (TUDTR) of the World Bank to develop a comprehensive draft set of ‘transport performance and impact indicators’. Their aim is to:
1) facilitate the management of various sub sectors to enable them to deliver transport services cost effectively and appropriately.
2) Help in the monitoring of the sectors’ performance with respect to its contribution to the implementation of agreed national policies.
3) Provide better insights into regional and global perspectives of transport activity and trends.
As part of ongoing consultations for this initiative, the workshop aims to raise awareness of the initiative among key stakeholders and invite contributions to the process to ensure that it accounts for national priorities and long term sustainability. The workshop will enable stakeholders drawn from a variety countries, institutions and transport disciplines to consult on their main sources of transport sector data and the capacity and constraint they currently encounter in collecting, analyzing, storing and using high quality data.
Workshop outputs will include raised awareness of the initiative, a country responsive matrix to fill the gaps in transport sector data, a country specific action plan for implementation of comprehensive transport data collection and feedback that will strengthen the purpose, form & sustainability of the initiative.
The workshop, sponsored by the World Bank, is hosted by the Lanka Forum on Rural Transport Development in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport, Sri Lanka and the IFRTD. Facilitating this dialogue enables the IFRTD to bring the perspectives of developing country transport sector professionals to the drawing board and provide the World Bank’s TUDTR with a ‘reality check’. We hope this will contribute to synergies between expectations of countries and the Bank, and to the formation of long-term, sustainable partnerships.
