The analysis done in the period 2018-2019 contributes to the UK response to improving transport in the low-income countries in Africa and South Asia. As a result, key priorities have been identified for applied research in 2020 to make road, rail and urban transport more efficient and affordable, and all transport greener, safer and more inclusive for all users. This applied research is a vital link in making transport a sustainable lifeline for people in low-income countries, because transport gives farmers and manufacturers access to domestic and international markets and people in rural and urban areas access to schools and health services.Research & information: generalbicssccapability planlow-income countriesrailwaysrailway technical strategySouth AsiaSub-Saharan Africasustainabilitylow-carbon transportsustainable mobilityclimate change strategiestransport policyParis Agreementgendertransportaccessibilitysmart citysmart mobilitylow- and middle-income countriestransport corridortransport infrastructuretransport development impactswider economic benefitscorridor managementtransport costspassenger and freightroad and railwayLow Income Countriesroadmaterialsrecyclingnon-conventionalriskdesignpartneringageingdisabilitymobilityolder peoplepovertyurbanchildrenAfricaAsiayouth voiceschoolworkroad safetyunder-reportingbest practicesvulnerable groupsinjury severityroad crash costingcrash datacapacity buildingpeople with disabilitiesinclusive transporthigh volume transportaccessible transportaccessible road and rail infrastructureefficient transport servicestransport corridorsgreen transportlow carbon transportdisability and mobilitygender disparityResearch & information: generalBurrow Michaeledt1327831Ghataora GurmeledtThompson BruceedtObika BernardedtBurrow MichaelothGhataora GurmelothThompson BruceothObika BernardothBOOK9910557680503321Sustainable High Volume Road and Rail Transport in Low Income Countries3038156UNINA
