The 2010 Annual Meeting of the Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) was held October 18-20 in Kampala, Uganda. This meeting was an opportunity to bring participants up to date on current transport topics and to discuss subjects relevant to the SSATP’s Second Development Plan 2008–2011 (DP2) work program.
Hosted by the Government of Mali in the capital city of Bamako, the main part of the 2005 Annual Meeting of Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) stakeholders took place from November 14th to 18th. As preliminary meeting activities commenced on November 10th, the 2005 event occupied nearly eight days.
For the period 2004-2007, SSATP's strategic objective was to anchor national transport strategies firmly in national goals and strategies for poverty reduction. To achieve this objective, a participatory process that enables country stakeholders to review and adapt their poverty reduction and transport strategies was progressively implemented in SSATP member countries. This report presents an overview of the progress made by November 2005 in implementing Poverty Reduction-Transport Strategy Reviews (PRTSR) in SSATP member countries.
The poverty reduction-transport review process (PRTSR) is part of efforts by SSATP and its national and regional partners in Sub-Saharan Africa to optimize the contribution of the transport sector to poverty reduction. The purpose of the review process is the creation of a common understanding by a broad range of influential people from the public sector, private sector and civil society in a country of how national policies and strategies should be improved, and implementation of a plan of action to make this happen.
Changes in the Board of SSATP and the Management Team in 2011 provide the opportunity to initiate a new phase in the Second Development Plan of SSATP in tune with the developments in the transport sector in Africa. The 2011 Annual Report sets the ground and provides strategic orientations for a more responsive and a better adapted Program and the preparation of a Third Development Plan.
