The 2018 Annual Report is a detailed review of the third year of implementation of the Africa Transport Policy Program’s (SSATP) Third Development Plan (DP3). The purpose of this report is to keep member countries, donor partners and SSATP Executive Committee members up-to-date on the progress of the Program. In accordance with the Program’s reporting requirements, the report covers all the activities and deliverables produced by SSATP from January – December 2018.

The central theme of the Africa Transport Policy Program’s 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) was “Positioning Africa for a Sustainable Post-2020 Road Safety Agenda.” This report captures the main conclusions and recommendations coming out of the discussions held at the AGM and its associated events on November 25-29, 2019 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. In accordance with the reporting requirements, at the meeting, the Program Management Team presented its annual report covering the January–December 2018 period.

The annual general meeting (AGM) of the Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) is a legal requirement set forth in the governance structure of the pro-gram. The central theme of the 2018 AGM was “Africa’s rapid urbanization and the response to urban mobility in the digital era.” This report captures the main conclusions and recommendations coming out of the discussions held at the AGM and its associated events on July 2–6, 2018 in Abuja, Nigeria.

This document summarizes the proceedings of SSATP's Africa Transport Policy Forum and the General Assembly held in Dakar, Senegal on December 10-12, 2013. The Ministry of Infrastructure, Land Transport and Access of the Government of Senegal hosted the two events jointly with the SSATP.

During the 1999 reporting period, the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) continued to deal with two broad areas: policy reform at the national level, and the development of analytical tools to identify and disseminate policy reform. Demand from countries for the services of the program continued to be strong. Decentralization of the Program is continuing, and a new operational hub was opened in Abidjan in late 1999

During the 1998 reporting period, emphasis in the work of SSATP continued to move towards policy reform and implementation strategy work at the country level. A core of the approach of the program is that reforms have to be tailored to the particular needs and circumstances of the local scene, which in most cases means the national level, but in some cases can mean the regional level within a country. Demand from countries for the services of the program continued to increase.

The present progress report provides an update on the status of the Program, and captures the experience in running the Program since the restructuring of the Africa Region of the World Bank in mid-1996, when the administrative home of the Program, the Environmentally Sustainable Development Division, was dissolved and the staff working on the SSATP was distributed over three new groupings, Transport Groups 1 and 2, and Water, Urban and Sanitation Group 2.

This statement commits SSATP member countries to adherence to a number of policy principles, and likewise commits member regional economic communities to promotion of the policy principles amongst member states. SSATP members recognize the processes proposed in the SSATP Long Term Development Plan as the framework within which policy development will be promoted, and that the program is a transport policy development instrument of the African Union (AU), and will play its part in the initiatives of the AU's NEPAD.

The SSATP Business Meeting held in Washington, D.C. on May 31-June 1, 2000 resolved to define a new framework for continuing SSATP's work program. The present note - which takes into account decisions made by the Initial General Assembly on November 2000 in Copenhagen and the Constituent Assembly held on June 2003 - elaborates this resolution and proposes further details on the organizational structure, funding arrangements and operational practices of the program for the years to come.

This annex document to the LTDP 2004-2007 provides an overview of (i) the plan's logical results framework; (ii) cost estimate; (iii) the composition of SSATP's core management team and related TORs; and (iv) a risk analysis.
