• Demanded by EC partners
• EC support in all regions
• 30% of ACP country
programmes of 9th EDF
• €2.2bn or ± €0.5bn p.a over
32 ACP countries – (27 SSA)
• NEPAD focal sector
• Increasing IFI support:
- World Bank IAP, AfDB...
• Essential service for reducing
poverty, supporting economic
growth, social development

2. Country Strategy Paper leads to
an EC transport response strategy
• Country analysis is a consultative process with government
involving EU MS, donors, IFIs and local stakeholders.... that
defines EC focal sectors
• Sectoral analysis reviews transport strategy, sector programme,
donor support...that shapes EC response strategy..... endorsed
by EU MS
• EC interventions determined by sector-wide approach to
produce a mix of policy, capacity building and investment
support
• EC strategy – annual operational review, Mid Term Review –
2004, End-of-Term review – end 2006

3. Coordination shapes & formulates EC country
transport strategy and interventions
Analysis based on a sector wide approach that promotes
safe, affordable and sustainable transport
• At macro-economic level - review of affordability of sector
programmes (TIP, RSDP)..involves sharing budgetary info, PER etc
• At sector level - review affordability of transport mode standards
– in road sector using tools such as HDM IV or similar
• Review capacity of transport budget to cover maintenance of
modal networks – Road Fund audits, government audits, share
donor studies
• Review institutional capacity of key sectoral institutions
These reviews demand extensive coordination with government
and between donors

4. Harmonised implementation maintains coordinated
government and donor strategies and interventions
Key aspects that strengthen impact of coordinated
analytical work
•
Financing mechanisms – project approach, pool funding and sectoral
budget support
•
Procurement procedures – works contract conditions, in particular
•
Reporting procedures – by government to donors and donors to
parliaments at home
•
Periodic review of sector programme and donor support strategies
based on common indicators
Mixed success on these key aspects but all progressing

5. EC Regional transport strategy
– a similar approach
• Consultative process focuses on dialogue with RECs, SROs, EU
MS and donors operating at regional level
• Sector analysis principally linked to inter- and intra regional, and
international trading patterns
• EC interventions again driven by a sectoral approach which
focuses on transport corridor development
• Mix of interventions supports transit transport strategy
development, REC capacity building and less physical
investments
Regional process less mature than at country level but improved
with stronger ownership of RECs in NEPAD and SSATP

6. A “continental” strategy – SSATP
- EC the major donor
•
Partners: UNECA, RECs, SROs, 32 SSA countries +12 donors and
partners –IL0, PMAESA...
•
Vision: Long term development plan 2004-07 of €25m financed by EC,
World Bank, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, France, Norway...
•
Regional Integration (T&T), Poverty Reduction & Transport - Road
Management & Financing, Affordable Transport Services – HIV/AIDS,
Gender, Safety & Security, Micro-enterprise, Environment
•
Analytical tools and products: RED model, Performance Assessment
Methodology, Railway concessioning toolkit, T&T Audit toolkit,
Transport-Poverty analysis; Road Funds and Agency strategies.....and
indicator development
SSATP utilises shared approaches, develops analytical processes and tools,
and thrives on strong coordination

7. Country and regional examples
Sectoral transport programmes in SSA countries
•
Approximately 14 SPs (SWAPs) currently in operation – Benin, Burkina
•
•
SPs predominantly in roads sector
All donors currently use project financing approach
•
EC piloting sectoral budget support in 4 countries – Benin, Malawi,
Mozambique and Zambia – targeting backlog of periodic maintenance
Faso, Cameroun, Ethiopia, Ghana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania,
RCA, Senegal, Uganda, Zambia
Regional transport programmes
•
SADC Protocol on Transport, Communications and Meteorology –
associated transport policy action and investment programme

8. What works - what still needs to be done
Good practice
• Shared policy between donors and with governments
• Dialogue at sectoral level in formulation of SPs
• Reporting of the implementation of SPs
Challenges
• Moving to sectoral budget support or pool funding
• Harmonisation of procurement – works contracts, particularly
• Systematic and rigorous periodic review of SPs, common
indicators
• Sustainability of SPs
