| description |
The objective of this paper is to serve
as an input into the on-going discussions concerning
sectoral and cross-sectoral aspects of the strategy.
Following this introduction, the second chapter provides a
brief background on the region, its people, economy and the
transport system. This is needed given that some readers on
the Bank side will not be familiar with Colombo. The third
chapter reviews the performance of the regional transport
system from the point of view of its various users, and
attempts to explain the findings in terms of underlying
problems and issues. The fourth chapter presents, in summary
form, the strategic proposals currently on the table. The
fifth chapter provides a critical review of the proposals.
The sixth and final chapter reviews the past involvement of
the Bank in this sector, then identifies and discusses
options that could be considered for future assistance, if
the sector emerges as a joint CAS priority. An attempt has
been made to shed a stronger light on people concerns, in
addition to a traditional focus on transport regulation,
infrastructure investments and traffic management. As an
explicit sign of this, boxes with real-life travel stories
of persons from the CMR have been sprinkled throughout the text. |
