  1. Headline Transport indicatorsRural Access, Urban Mobility etc Transport Results Initiative Asia: Consultation Workshop 22-24 April 2005

  2. Rural Access indicator A short history: • Apr ’03: IDA group requests Infrastructure indicators • Sep ’03: Rural Access indicator agreed in principle • proportion of the rural population within 2 km of an all-season road • Apr ‘04: Rural Access measured for 30 IDA countries • representing more than 80% of IDA rural population • Jul ’04: pilot ‘time/distance’ survey completed • Oct ’04: Rural Access indicator adopted for IDA-14 Challenge is to extend the measure to further countries and to establish routine inclusion in household survey

  3. Rural Access:established Indicator has been adopted by IDA Group: proportion of the rural populationwithin 2 km of an all-season road Lowest income countries: 43% (23 countries – mainly Africa) IDA-eligible countries: 64% (32 countries –incl. above) Middle income countries: 94% (8 countries) Most results are from nationally representative, multi-topic household surveys – this is recommended approach.

  4. Transport in household surveys • Access – basic questions for IDA-14 • ‘time’ / ‘distance’ perceptions and relationships • initial measures in more IDA countries • establish in-country ‘ownership’ • link to access to affordable transport service • Transport module – complement LSMS etc • ‘time budget’ data in addition to ‘expenditure’ • Integrated module for infrastructure services

  5. Azerbaijan 67% Bangladesh 37 Cambodia 87 India 69 Indonesia 94 Laos PDR 59 Mongolia 36 Nepal 25% Papua New Guinea 68 Tajikistan 38 Uzbekistan 57 Vietnam 73 Yemen, Rep. 21 - all subject to confirmation Rural Access indicatorhas been measured for the following countries in Asia: • wish to work with partners to sustain / update this indicator. • are ready to discuss how the indicator can be established for countries which do not yet have it

  6. Benin 32% Burkina Faso 19 Burundi 19 Cameroon 20 Chad 5 Ethiopia 27 Ghana 44 Kenya 44 Madagascar 25% Malawi 38 Mali 51 Niger 52 Nigeria(8 States)47 Tanzania 38 Zambia 51 - all subject to confirmation Rural Access indicatorhas been measured for the following countries in Africa: • wish to work with partners to sustain / update this indicator. • are ready to discuss how the indicator can be established for countries which do not yet have it

  7. MDG Targets MDG 1 Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger Access to inputs and markets, and generation of employment opportunities, improved by halving the proportion of rural population living beyond 2 km of an all-season road The difference in average transport cost between Africa and Asia narrowed down by 50% MDG 2 + 3 Univ primary education & gender equality Rural access and urban mobility improved to eliminate constraints on the time which all children have to participate in education and to enable effective education to be delivered and reached safely MDG 4 + 5 Child Health and Maternal Mortality Rural access and urban mobility improved for reliable supply of inputs to health facilities, to provide affordable access for all households and to enable cost effective outreach health activities Transport Targets for MDGs Source: Transport and the Millennium Development Goals: Feb 2005

  8. National policy - access • Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy: • Reduction of rural transport constraints is a key National objective requiring some Provinces to act • Vietnam Living Standards Survey: • Rural Access Indicator can be updated biennially • State grants on the basis of need for Provinces to contribute to CPRGS • Allocations considered on the basis of Poverty Rate, Population and lack of Rural Access

  9. Provincial allocation – rural access alloc = b + fn (poverty rate) . (population) . (lack of access)

  10. Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed to complement ‘Rural Access’

  11. Urban Mobility • Time-based: as a more relevant cost • Integrated with other key indicators for urban development • Short-term opportunity to update UN Habitat data set (1998) for ‘duration of journey to work’

  12. Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed to complement ‘Rural Access’

  13. Road Network Condition • Proxy for management of the road network • Somewhat subjective measure but widely used • Related to IRF process for reviving the World Road Statistics

  14. Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed to complement ‘Rural Access’
