Brief Description
The project will strengthen the capacities of 5 countries (Georgia, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Paraguay and Jordan) to design and implement an evidence-based transport policy framework that fosters sustainable transport connectivity and the implementation of transport-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This will be done through the development of a set of Sustainable Inland Transport Connectivity Indicators (SITCIN) based on which countries will be able to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of their respective transport systems and the level of compliance of national administrative and legal frameworks with UN legal instruments in the field of transport. Once this initial set of indicators has been defined, a series of capacity building events on SITCIN will be organized in each of the beneficiary countries to present the proposed set of indicators, introduce and apply them in the national context, and use them as a basis for the development of new and innovative, evidence-based national inland transport policies.
Objective and Expected Outcomes
Objective
To enhance the national capacities of selected countries to design and implement an evidence-based transport policy framework, that fosters sustainable transport connectivity and the implementation of transport-related SDGs
Expected Outcome 1
Improved understanding of national transport stakeholders in identifying and assessing the most critical aspects of inland transport connectivity using a set of quantifiable and measurable Sustainable Inland Transport Indicators (SITCIN)
Expected Outcome 2
Enhanced national capacities for developing evidence-based policies on inland transport connectivity, (based on the results of the SITCIN benchmarking exercise) to achieve transport-related (SDGs)
