Organiser: IRU
Transport is just one of many sectors fighting for investment from public and private sources, from home and abroad.
• How can a country attract more investment, and make the most of the investment that it does attract?
• Why do some countries attract transport investment effortlessly while others struggle?
• Why does more money not necessarily lead to better transport outcomes?
The answers are rooted in how well a transport sector is governed, trained, certified, enforced, supported and managed. The World Bank and IRU recently released a comprehensive reform guide for governments and authorities, working with business and practitioners.
This session will explore the role of road transport sector reform in steering successful strategies that bring better investment returns for society, with perspectives from public and private sector actors.
