1. Transport Results:Indicators for Performance and Impact - overview Peter Roberts Lead Specialist World Bank April, 2005

2. state of Transport statistics • There is no International Agency with specific interest in transport for development • eg UNICEF - water and sanitation; UN Habitat - urban • Deteriorating global databases • World Road Statistics (IRF) in serious decline; Transport Results - overview

3. IRF coverage: in decline Transport Results - overview

4. There is no International Agency with specific interest in transport for development eg UNICEF - water and sanitation; UN Habitat - urban Deteriorating global databases World Road Statistics (IRF) in serious decline; Road accident stats dropped from WDI since ’02 WB Railway database 1999: sustainable? Much data commercially sensitive or fragmented state of Transport statistics Transport Results - overview

Much data commercially sensitive or fragmented No partnership to address policy / capacity issues: eg on the lines of WSP, ESMAP or Cities Alliance state of Transport statistics Transport Results - overview

6. Transport Results framework Measures and Indicators consistent between three levels: • diagnostic frameworkat sectoral level: • promoted by WBInfrastructure Action Plan: • headline indicators for national / global level: • first established measure: Rural Access • new headlines are being developed • core measures: transport sub-sectors • sound basis for all diagnostic and headline indicators Working with regional, national and international partners Transport Results - overview

7. diagnostics + core measures • Diagnostic sets: based on REDI framework and responding to Clients needs Transport Results - overview

8. sector diagnostic framework Initial sets of indicators have been proposed within the following framework: • Accessibility } • Affordability } initial focus • Quality: technical } • : perceived } • Efficiency: economic • Finance • Governance and Institutions • Environment and social } added for Transport …. broadly adopted by each of the regions and being tested in several countries …. Transport Results - overview

9. diagnostics + core measures • Diagnostic sets: based on REDI framework and responding to Clients needs • Core measures and definitions underpin all indicators Transport Results - overview

10. Core measures: example Transport Results - overview

11. diagnostics + core measures • Diagnostic sets: based on REDI framework and responding to Clients needs • Core measures and definitions under-pin all indicators • Reflect contributions of all transport modes Transport Results - overview

12. Measures and indicators: summary all sub-sectors: (passenger & freight) are being covered: • Road transport • Railways • Air: inland & international • Water: inland & coastal • Seaports • Trade logistics • Urban transport • Social & Environmental measures indicators review testing final Transport Results - overview

13. diagnostics + core measures • Diagnostic sets: based on REDI framework and responding to Clients needs • Core measures and definitions under-pin all indicators • Reflect contributions of all transport modes • Also address over-arching issues: eg Social, Environmental, Safety Transport Results - overview

14. diagnostics + core measures • Diagnostic sets: based on REDI framework and responding to Clients needs • Core measures and definitions under-pin all indicators • Reflect contributions of all transport modes • Also address over-arching issues: eg Social, Environmental, Safety • Coordination between country teams and sectoral specialists to pilot and apply the measures and diagnostics Transport Results - overview

15. Regions: current activity number of countries Transport Results - overview

16. Cooperation and consultation Broad consultation is very important to: • share findings and activity of different stakeholders • encourage wide ownership for efficient and sustainable delivery and use of reliable data two workshops held in June ‘04 to share experience and to guide the programme for 2005-06: workshops in Asia and Africa planned for 2005: • Colombo, Sri Lanka: 22-24 April; • Dakar, Senegal: June Transport Results - overview

17. Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed: Transport Results - overview

18. Transport headline indicators ‘Rural Access’ is established and adopted for IDA-14 Transport Results - overview

19. Transport Results - overview

20. Transport in household surveys • Access – basic challenges 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 Transport Results - overview

21. schedule of activity (outline) monitor 30 countries 50 countries & updates indicators pilot x 30 snapshot x 60 full x 50 core data & def’ns global stats compilation reg & nat ownership improve M & E Transport Results - overview

22. key challenges for the Sector • core measures and indicators – country level: • help to raise Client awareness and capacity to collect and use data • gain feedback on interpreting statistics, benchmarking etc • strengthen measures of costs, impact and poverty reduction • strengthen transport links with National Statistical capacity • encourage user surveys – LSMS household and similar instruments • raise awareness of ‘headlines’ • highlight key transport issues for decision takers outside the sector • contribute to establishing and maintaining the ‘headlines’ • strengthen global coordination • raise ‘ownership’ of data sets by International Agencies • foster Client contributions and quality control Transport Results - overview
