Indicators for Performance and Impact

1. Indicators for Performance and Impact Overview Peter Roberts Lead Specialist World Bank Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria June, 2006

2. driven by Borrower demand • Major Borrowers expressed concern that World Bank had shifted its attention too much away from the Infrastructure Sectors • In response the Bank launched the Infrastructure Action Plan – at the start of FY 2004 • The IAP included significant objectives to help countries to strengthen their capacity collect and analyse data to plan, manage, monitor and evaluate performance and impacts of infrastructure interventions • Transport Results Initiative is the sector’s contribution to the IAP – coordinated by WB central Transport Unit (TUDTR) Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

4. World Road Statistics (IRF)were in decline…. Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

5. World Road Statistics (IRF)were in decline….now reviving Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

6. soGlobal data sets for transport are improving in coverage and quality ……. Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

7. World Development Indicatorsnow include many Transport data sets Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

8. Global data sets: sustainability • WDI data sets are assembled by specialist organisations: • World Health Organisation: accidents • UN Habitat: urban transport • International Road Federation: roads + traffic • GTZ: fuel prices • Union International des Chemins de Fer: rail • International Civil Aviation Organisation: air transport • Data sets are based on primary information obtained from those countries which are responsive. • Challenge is to sustain these data sets: • update data regularly, • extend coverage (particularly to low income countries) • improve quality Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

9. Framework of core measures and diagnostic indicators Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

10. 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 Index • complementary ‘headlines’ are being developed • core measures: transport sub-sectors • sound and consistent basis for all diagnostic and headline indicators Working with regional, national and international partners Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

11. sector diagnostic framework Initial sets of indicators have been proposed within the following framework (under Recent Economic Developments in Infrastructure): • 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 about 50 countries ….

18. Environmental impact indicators examples: • Climate:Greenhouse Gases • System efficiency; power efficiency; fuel type • Energy security: • System efficiency; power efficiency; fuel type • Atmospheric pollution: gas and particulate emissions • Urban transit provision and use; car ownership and activity • Land use: • Urban sprawl; land use for transport networks; impact on adjacent land Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria

19. Governance indicators Institutions and Processes • Regulation • Public Service Obligation • Tariffs and cost recovery • Service quality and safety • Security • Service delivery • Passenger / freight • Formal – public / private • Informal / Own account • Infrastructure management • Ownership • Operation and maintenance Transport Indicators Workshop, Pretoria
