2015 - SSATP - Transport Policies Performance Review

This working paper summarizes the key findings of the African Transport Policy
Performance Review1, carried out by SSATP in selected Anglophone and Francophone
countries in 2013. It highlights the performance of transport policies focusing
on the main transportation modes, excluding maritime and aviation, and is
augmented by outcomes of related work carried out mainly by SSATP and the
World Bank. The key objective is to convey the salient messages, and to point out
the need for more transformational and pragmatic transport policy objectives and
strategies, in an effort to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the sector.
The paper addresses some fundamental policy issues, that affect transport performance
in Sub-Saharan African countries and is intended for transport sector policy
level decision-makers.
