SSATP Second Development Plan (DP2) 2008-2011 • DP2 was launched at the SSATP Annual Meeting 2007 in Ouagadougou. • The SSATP Strategic Framework 2008-2011 provides a logical framework for SSATP activities identifying specific activities and indicators of progress. • SSATP activities are now structured within the three Themes defined by DP2, and each activity needs to fit into the Strategic Framework.

SSATP Second Development Plan (DP2) Theme 1 (Transport Strategy) Comprehensive pro-poor and pro-growth transport sector strategies Theme 2 (Transport Sector Management) Sustainable institutional and financial arrangements for road infrastructure and rural & urban transport services Theme 3 (Regional Integration) Improving transit transport along selected corridors SSATP Annual Meeting 2009 Lilongwe, Malawi
SSATP DP2 Cross-cutting issues: • Governance • Climate change • Road safety • Gender • HIV/AIDS • Data management SSATP Annual Meeting 2009 Lilongwe, Malawi
Funding • SSATP DP2 is currently financed by the European Commission (main donor), African Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and bi-lateral contributions from UK, Norway, Sweden and Austria. • Delays in mobilizing funding resulted in a slow start to DP2 activities, and no Annual Meeting in 2008. • Approximately 65% of the funding envisaged for DP2 is currently pledged by the SSATP Financing Partners, and funding is now available for 2010 activities.
