Transport in Africa: The African Development Bank's Intervention and Results for the Last Decade
Published by: Independent Development Evaluation, African Development Bank
The goal of this evaluation is to inform future policy, strategic, and operational directions for the Bank's assistance in the transport sector by: (i) identifying emerging trends in the sector; (ii) assessing how the Bank has responded to these trends; (iii) taking stock of the results of the Bank's assistance; and (iv) drawing lessons for future work. It combines the two objectives of evaluation: (i) accountability, through determining the extent to which the Bank's activities have contributed to the development of the transport sector in Regional Member Countries (RMCs); and (ii) learning, though the identification of best practices and lessons learned to be carried forward to future projects. In informing the renewal of the Transport Sector Policy, this evaluation sought to answer four main evaluation questions:
1) How relevant are the Bank's policies and activities in the transport sector to the needs of recipient countries and other clients ?
2) To what extent has the Banks assistance been delivered efficiently ?
3) To what extent has the Bank contributed to the development of the transport sector in RMCs ? and
4) To what extent are these results sustainable ?
