Critical condition of all transport modesCritical condition of all transport modes

Road– Only 19% is paved (against 27% in lat Am & 43% in South Asia)– 4% of registered vehicles, 10% of total deaths– Accidents cost 3% of GDP every year in Egypt

Rail– 3.5% of developing countries passenger flows, but 20% of GDP

& population

Air– <2% of developing countries passenger and freight flows– Few airports with international standard– 4.5% of traffic, 25% of accidents

Ports– Most ports are under equipped and have reached maximum

capacity– Inefficient: ZAF (17 c.u/h), Dar es Salam (21) ≠ Brazil (42)

Money is not enoughMoney is not enough

Strong regulation– Strong commitment / negotiation skills– Autonomous regulatory body (ex. Zambia)

Better planning (ex. Master Plan for Greater Cairo)– Selection of projects (between the different transport means,

trade-off between developing rural road networks and investing in corridors serving established higher density routes)

– Integration in poverty reduction strategy & medium-term expenditure framework

Community participation– Maximising employment generation and easing maintenance– Involving women

Regional cooperation– Benefiting from economies of scale– Partnering with NEPAD & regional unions
