| description |
In Bangladesh, being a country with many
rivers, Inland Water Transport (IWT), is a major mode for
the transport o f goods and people. IWT is important for the
poor as well as for the competitiveness and growth o f the
economy as it is the cheapest mode of transport compared to
road or rail. Until recently, however, the sector had
received little attention from the Government of Bangladesh
with only limited resources allocated to its development.
The primary goals of this economic and sector work (ESW)
study are to: (i) to provide an overview and assessment of
IWT in Bangladesh, (ii) to identify and discuss the
sector's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats (SWOT analysis); (iii) to help the Government to
define a strategy agreed with stakeholders to bolster the
sector's contribution to shared growth and poverty
reduction; and (iv) to identify priorities for a possible
support from the Bank to the sector scheduled in FY09. The
scope of the report will be limited to transport issues and
will not propose a strategy for river management in relation
to water management. However, the report will help to better
integrate the IWT strategy and the water management
strategy. The report is structured into a number of sections
(3 to 14) which analyze the sector's situation and
issues, followed by an analysis of the sector's SWOT
(section 15). The report then concludes in section 16 with a
summary of the main strategic recommendations that might
constitute the foundations o f a new IWT strategy in
Bangladesh. Section 17 provides orientations for future
World Bank involvement in the sector. |
