2- Strategic Policy and Planning for Transport Sector

  1. 1- Abbas K. A. (2004) Assessment of National Transport Sector in Egypt: A Basis for Developing a Skeleton Strategic Plan. In Proceedings of 10th World Conference on Transport Research WCTR2004, Session H1: Public Sector Performance. Istanbul, Turkey

Abstract:

This paper starts by presenting a discussion describing current status of the national transport sector in Egypt including the institutional development of governmental bodies responsible for the sector. It goes on towards pursuing its objective of assessing the national transport sector in Egypt. In this context, a system analysis of the transport industry is conducted. Such analysis is meant to show the main interactions between components of the system as well as to identify the non-existence of some important interactions and the weaknesses encountered in existing ones. In pursuing a more comprehensive evaluation, a semantic assessment; using 31 factors, of the four main transport sub-sectors in Egypt, namely road, rail, river and air transport; was also conducted. Based on these assessments, a diagnostic identification of problems and main causes for the current performance of national transport sector is reached. The above reviews, analysis and assessment acted as the basis for developing a skeleton strategic plan for the national transport sector in Egypt. Such plan involves deciding on acceptable values, determining the vision, mission statement and goals of the Egyptian ministry of transport and finally identifying a continuum of necessary strategies, policies and measures that can be followed to attain the preset strategic goals.
