SSATP Working Paper No. 63
The Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) was launched fifteen years ago as a joint initiative of the World Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) to improve transport sector performance by promoting policy reforms and institutional changes. The basic premises of the Program are that policy reform is essential in order to improve transport services; and that countries and their development partners need to col-laborate in the sector within a common framework of policies. The Program has evolved over the last thirteen years into a flexible means for developing and promoting such a framework. An International Advisory Committee which first met in 1987 (chaired by UNECA) initially coordinated the Program.s activities. The principles and the coverage of the SSATP were laid down at a meeting of the International Advisory Committee in Oslo in 1988. By 1992, policy reform had emerged as the prime area needing attention. To emphasize this, the name of the Program was changed to Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program. The SSATP is implemented through five components: The Road Management Initiative (RMI); The Rural Travel and Transport Program (RTTP); Urban Mobility (UM); Trade and Transport (T&T); Railway Restructuring (RR). Each of these components collaborates with development agencies and African institutions.
