  REDIs
• ECA Henry Kerali
• LAC Nicolas Peltier working with IDB to cover

12
action in the Regions

• Rural Access
• for IDA group
• Awareness of new measure for 30 countries Mar 04
• gain commitments for 20 further countries (Mar
  05)
• encourage client ownership of this indicator
• particularly in countries with rural transport
  priority
• ensure that access question is in future HH
  surveys
• about half of surveys so far have not included it
  
• add at least 10 update measures each year
• consider other key indicators (urban)
• extend to non-IDA countries

13
key challenge for the Sector

• Strengthen core transport data
• inadequate data to manage sector in many
  countries
• stimulate national ownership/demand
• push for key sector data outputs/impacts, costs,
  inclusion
• facilitate data quality, updating, analysis,
  publication
• strengthen national statistical capacity
• establish global data capacity
• essential for sustainability of indicators
