SSATP
This report claims that SSATP has reached a turning point in its record of service to its partners. Demands on the SSATP as the single most tried and tested transport policy development program in SSA are being heard from a wider than ever range of institutions and stakeholders. These stakeholders clearly recognize the crucial role of efficient transport in Africa's development. This development plan is predicated on two linked approaches, conceptual and organizational: 1) Conceptually there needs to be a re-appraisal of the relationship between "transport" and other sectors so as to ensure understanding of transport as an essential service, contributing to the objectives of national development aspirations and to those sectors (social, productive, and economic) leading countries out of poverty; and 2) organizationally the plan proposes management and funding arrangements which will address constraints both in SSATP program management and in partner institutions. It does this through proposing an expansion of program management arrangements in Africa, and by strengthening regional economic community (REC) ownership. The paper hopes that by 2007 the program's target is that the 32 countries which participated in the 2002 Annual Conference and resolved on the long-term strategic goal should all have in place integrated transport sector strategies that are responsive to national development objectives and plans, and that each country will also have a national transport sector development priority action plan that fits within available resource envelopes. This Long-term Development Plan (LTDP), 2004 - 2007 seeks commitments from donors to maintain engagement with the program for four years so as to allow the SSATP to implement a strategy to achieve the goals set out in its mission statement and endorsed by its partners and stakeholders.
