The World Bank Group’s Transport Strategy “Safe, Clean, and Affordable…Transport for Development”, The World Bank Group’s Transport Business Strategy for 2008-2012 • The objective of the business strategy, consistent with Sustainable Transport and aligned with the principle of country ownership, remains: to help partner countries to establish the governance, strategies, policies and services that will deliver transport for development in a way that is economically, financially, environmentally and socially sustainable. • In both national and regional programs we will encourage client countries to adopt corridor approaches to investing in transport infrastructure and improving transport services, especially along multicountry regional routes. • The Bank Group will pursue a broader agenda in the roads subsector to meet principles of environmental and social sustainability, in ways that give increasing attention to four main issues including the performance, affordability, and inclusivity of transport services that use road infrastructure and that deliver the ultimate benefits of roads to people and goods. • Good freight transport services integrate developing countries into longer, more complex, and more demanding supply chains that facilitate trade.
Climate Change – the questions Transport and Climate Change: Some BIG Questions Event: Copenhagen CC summit= agreement that developed countries should raise funds to help developing countries adapt to CC and “green” their economies What future use of energy and what GHG emissions? What impact of CC on the infrastructure? How can developing countries afford a clean transport? What is the total long-term cost of a transport mode use?
Affordability (focus on food prices) Economic distance to markets Goods prices Logistical cost Administration costs, documentation, procedures etc Handling costs Packing, palletizing, labeling Profit, occasional payments, informal etc. Inventory (incl. warehouse) Direct costs
A changing Trade and Transport Facilitation approach New agenda • Cross-cutting issues: • Making transit work • Collaborative border management • Quality and efficiency of service providers • Customs brokers • Road transport operators • Freight forwarders • Trade Related infrastructure • Roads • Ports • Railways • Customs reform and modernization • Fiscal focus • IT orientation Old agenda Both the old and new agendas needed
Key policy issues • Expanding the traditional reform agenda beyond customs reform and infrastructure development • Improving the quality of logistics services and increase border agency coordination • Embarking on comprehensive reform—processes, services, and infrastructure—with broad public and private support • Transit corridors: regional coordination and cooperation is vital for landlocked developing countries • Infrastructure: high on the agenda • Tailoring reform to each country’s circumstances
