I. THE OPENING CEREMONY AND WORK PROGRAMMING

The opening of the programme was chaired by Professor Bongoy, who used the occasion to stress the importance attached to the budget within the framework of the programme of the Second Development Decade for Transport and Communications. He recalled that one of the 10 global objectives for this Decade, namely objective 5, focuses exclusively on the problem of statistical data and reads as follows: "Establishment of information system for transport and communications, to serve as an analytical basis for improving planning and investment management".

Professor Bongoy's statement particularly made it apparent that the long-term objective of the second Transport and Communications Decade in terms of transport data is "to promote the setting up of information systems founded on market demand, traffic flow, operational data from transport enterprises and the costs and the conditions for the development of infrastructure

and equipment".

Afterwards, Mr. B. Chatelin informed participants of the project objectives and organization plan, particularly stressing the major objectives for the Seminar, namely:

1. To know and better understand the on-going regional, subregional, sectoral and national transport data

programmes;

2. To better understand the problems and difficulties encountered during design and implementation phases of the project;

3. To institute dialogue between countries and between countries and specialized agencies which have experience in transport statistics.

4. To seek consensus on the performance indicators prepared by the project;

5. To identify the transport modes which most lack statistics and to define an action programme aimed at remedying the deficiencies.

After these two opening statements, the Seminar continued according to the work programme presented in annex 11- This

programme was summarized as follows:

(6)

WB/001 Page 3

1. presentation of the Phase 1 report;

2. Presentation of the information systems for transport statistics from the pilot countries;

3. Presentation of the project for: setting up a regional

database at EGA?

4.. Presentation of other experiences:

Data relative to transport arid to economies in transition: experiences of Eastern and Central

Eu.ropeati countries and of Vietnam;

the'French experience.

5. Presentation of subregional projects:

- UAR (the railways databank project);

ClkEhOC (maritime project: trade and transport) . 6. Presentation of statistics on various transport modes

by international agencies (IACO, UNCTAD, World Bank).

7. presentation on performance indicators

For each of these points, the representatives of

institutions concerned and consultants presented their statements to the Seminar, copies of which had been sent to each

participant.

After indepth discussions of the salient aspects of these presentations, three working groups were formed to:

(a) Analyze the weaknesses described and propose ameliorative measures as envisaged;

(b) Select performance indicators for creating

spreadsheets for each subsector;

(c) Propose a programme for future project activities.

The reports of these working groups, which are presentedin

annex III, comprehensively show the outcome of the Seminar with

regard to the planned approach and to the conduct of activities

to be undertaken.

II. SUMMARY OF RESULTS.

The various contributions allowed participants to have fruitful exchanges of viewpoints and experiences and to have a better perception of approaches which the project intends to

develop.

(7)

WB/001 Page 4

The presentations of the pilot countries particularly emphasized the need for identification of the major weaknesses lit'their information mechanisms and for proposal of measures able to correct them. They especially pointed out that;

' 1." The highway, road transport and urban subsectors are generally the most deficient in data;

2- Activities in these three subsectors are dominated by artisanal enterprises which are generally reluctant to provide information;

3. Usually, no centralized system exists for collection, processing and analysis of the information. Creation of such systems is on-going in several countries, within the context of implementation of the World Bank's sectoral programmes;

4. The statistical units of various transport modes do not maintain regular, functional relations among themselves. There are no existing relations between them and the central organizations for national statistics;

5. The data are not essentially aimed for subsectoral managers and operators, and they are not exploited by other organizations and users. Moreover, with rare exception, they are not regularly published.

6. Existing systems are hardly utilised as efficient

management tools because:

(a) Spreadsheets do not usually exist and those which do exist are frequently incomplete through lack of operations statistics;

(b) Performance analyses are not done with a periodicity adapted to needs;

(c) Some management personnel show little interest in

such analyses.

7. The data are not generally harmonized to enable the drawing of comparisons between countries.

In order to remedy such weaknesses, the Seminar strongly recommended that statistical systems should be perceived as useful management tools which enable managers to measure periodically the progress realized in the different subsectors and organizations.

In this regard, the Seminar selected performance indicators for each subsector except for urban transport, in order to create the spreadsheets.

(8)

WB/001 Page 5

To ensure correct usage of. the spreadsheets, it was recommended that pilot countries should establish and/or compile their norms and communicate them to :,;;ECA for analysis. Such normative work comprises essential activity for phase II of the project, by making a net distinction between the normative indicators to be used in inter-country comparisons and those which should be used at the national' level.

The Seminar further recommended that efforts should focus over the following four to five months on the problems of subsectoral,indicators for highways and for road transport. In this regard/, the ECA and the World Bank should contact the donors which financed or are financing road projects in Africa, in order to gather all available information which they might have on such

subsectoral data and indicators.

In terms of the follow-up activities to the pilot phase in progress, the Seminar recommended their development within the context of a network defining the following principles and

actions:

1. The nucleus of the network will be the Economic Commission for Africa and other members:

(a) Pilot countries;

(b) The interested subregional cooperation organizations;

(c) The World Bank and the international agencies experienced with transport statistics (UNCTAD, ICAO);

In,' this regard, the ECA is responsible for ■ ; the centralization and dissemination of the statistical data which will be transmitted to it, after quality edit by UAR on behalf of the railways subsector, by UNCTAD on behalf of the maritime subsector, by IACO for the air subsector and the World Bank for the highways and road transport and urban subsector. Suitable information dissemination necessary for sound conduct of such activities should be carried out in accordance with a computerized circuit as annexed to the report of working group No. I.

2. On the basis of the performance indicators selected, the pilot country should:

(a) Establish spreadsheets for each of the subsectors and for each major level of responsibility within the organizations concerned;

(b) Calculate indicator values in order to propose for each, a normative tolerance threshold, over a sufficiently representative period;

(9)

WB/001 Page 6

(c) Compile the definitions in force for subsectoral highway, road transport and urban statistics, to

achieve the necessary harmonization with the most

current definitions transmitted to them by the project.

3. In view of the effective slowdown of network activities:

(a) Pilot countries should disseminate no later than 30/09/1993, the results of the activities laid out in point (ii) above as well as the methodology and the results of actions which were taken in the areas in which their efforts were concentrated.

(b) Each pilot country must report on the following:

All information and statistics concerning the EGA, the World Bank and subregional cooperation organization of which it is a member;

Information and statistics on various subsectors as follows:

Air transport: IACO

Rail transport: UAR and UNCTAD Maritime transport: UNCTAD

Highways, road and urban transport:

World Bank (IBRD).

These agencies will ensure quality edit of the data from the subsectors which concern them before transmitting them to EGA which is responsible for their storage and their dissemination.

(c) The Union of. African Railways had the task of defining subregional railway data. Nevertheless, for a transitional period of around two months, the definitions set out by UNCTAD for SIAM will be used.

In this regard, Mr. Hunter will transmit the document entitled "Rail Statistics: Statistical Rail-Transport Module" (1) to pilot countries and other members of the network;

IACO will transmit before 31 August 1993 the list of performance indicators used in this subsector as well as the data definitions necessary for calculations, for the use of all members of the network;

(10)

WB/001 7

(e) The head of the project will prepare a list of definitions for the road subsector, as well as a manual for the subsector before the end of October

1993.

In order facilitate such activities, the Seminar furthermore formulated the following recommendations:

1. The ECA and the chairmen of various subsectoral working groups should make contact with all African countries expressing an interest in transport

databases;

2. Efforts should be made to develop training activities in the area of transport statistics, in order to spread the experience gained from the project in progress. Subregional and national transport institutions as well as modal training centres should be encouraged to organize statistics seminars and

workshops;

3. Transport-sector statistical units should be members of the National Coordinating Committees for the second Transport and Communications Decade.

REPORT OF WORKING GROUP I:

AIR, MARITIME AND RAILWAYS SUBSECTORS

H.B.: The working group was chaired by B. Chatelin, and

(23)

WB/001 Annex Ilia Page 2

The first working group for the seminar reviewed the indicators to be developed at country level in the fields of ports and railways. Indicators for the evaluation of UNTACDA XI were reviewed in the plenary session of the seminar and it was agreed that the various subsectoral working groups of UNTACDA II should finalise the indicators for circulation to pilot member countries and IGOs.The indicators for UNTACDA II were, therefore, not reviewed by the group.

The working group agreed that the performance indicators to be included in the purposed ECA transport data base would be provided on the basis of the current month and cummulative year to date but some less frequently i.e. financial indicators.

Regarding the format of presentation the working group agreed that statistical indicators could be supplemented by graphical presentation. The group concluded that the actual format for the presentation of data base indicators would be determined at a later date.

1. Railway indicators

The group agreed that all railway indicators definitions was the responsibility of the Union of African Railways (UAR). It was also agreed that during the interim period of about two months, while UAR was refining a number of definitions, the UNCTAD definition on railways relating to the Advance Cargo Information System (ACIS) programme would be used. The representative of UNCTAD would circulate "Rail Statistics: the Statistical Module of Railtracke" to the pilot countries and interested parties but UAR revisions would take precedence. The indicators agreed upon covered the following areas of railways activities:

General information on railways;

Line locomotive utilization and availability;

Wagon utilization and availability;

Coach utilization and availability Traffic;

Staff productivity; and Financial indicators

Details of initial indicators agreed upon by the group under each of the subworkings above is given in section one of annex IIIc to the report.

2. Ports indicators

The group agreed that the basis for the production of port indictors was to be the same as for railways indicators viz monthly and cumulative year to date, with a possibility for supplementation with a graphical presentation. It was also agreed that data and indicators

(24)

WB/001 Annex Ilia 3

are to relate to individual ports rather than to the entire system of ports in a country. The group decided that only ports with an annual handling of import and exports of at least 500,000 tons are to be considered.

The indicators in the field of ports discussed and agreed upon at the group meeting covered the following areas of port activities:

-■" ■ Traffic;

Port operations performances; and Financial indicator.

Details of initial indicators agreed upon at the meeting are given in session II of the annex Hid to the report.

3. Air transport indictors

The meeting agreed that the representative of ICAO at the meeting would consult with his organization and prepare air transport indicators along the same line as those for railways and ports, and submit the indicators to all interested parties. The deadline for submission of air transport indicators was set as 31 August 1994. ECA would incorporate the indicators into the final report of the meeting.

4. Oata flow

The working group recognized the lead role of EGA and agreed on the flow of data/indicators during the pilot stage. This covers roads, railways, ports and air transport despite the fact that roads were discussed in the second group and air transport not discussed at all at the meeting. The flow of information was agreed upon as follows:

(a) Each pilot country would compile the required data/indicators and send these to ECA with copies to all other pilot countries and to any subregional organizations of which the originating pilot country was a member. Copies of roads data/indicators would be sent to IBRD, air indicators to ICAO, ports indicators to UNCTAD, and railways indicators to UAR and CEA.

(b) All organizations identified in (a) above will indicate to ECA the focal point in their organization.

(c). The quality edit of the data/indicators will be carried out by IBRD in roads, ICAO for air, UNCTAD. for ports; and by ECA or possibly UAR in the future for railways.

(25)

WB/001 Annex Ilia Page 4

(d) ECA will be the repository for the edited data and will be responsible for their dissemination. .

A diagrammatical sketch of the plan of the flow of data is showed as diagram I of the

report.

The group made the following observations on the work to be carried out on the indicator:

(i) Concentration should be made on problems of roads indicators in the coming 4-5 months. In this connection ECA and the World Bank should contact donors which have been or are financing road projects in Africa to obtain from them any information they may have on road transport statistics/indicators.

(ii) ECA and Chairmen of the various subsectoral working groups should contact other African countries which have shown interest in transport data base and statistics/indicators.

(iii) The group agreed that having indicators alone is not enough as there is need also to have the norms to be applied to the indicators. It was therefore resolved that pilot countries should send to ECA any norms they have and ECA would analyze the information received from the countries. In this regard it was also agreed that work on norms will constitute an important part of phase II of the project. It was noted that a clear distinction should be made between the norms to be .; compared between countries and those to be used at national level.

(iv) The group agreed that efforts should be made to have training activities in transport statistics as one way of disseminating what would be achieved by the on going data-base project, In this connection the group proposed that sub-regional and national training institutions in transport- including national modal training centers should be encouraged to introduce workshops and seminars in transport statistics for the various categories of staff who can benefit from such training.

(26)

Annex Ilia Page 5

(v) Regai'ding the links between statistical Units and UNTACDA II at national levels the meeting proposed that the existing national statisticals Units dealing with transport should have membership representation at the UNTACDA II National Coordinating Committees

(NCCs).

(vi) The meeting concluded that ECA is to be the repository of the data/indicators exercise and its relationship with all the concerned parties should be linked as shown in diagram I.

Annex Ilia Page 7

The working groups were led by, the following persons: ...

Chairman: Mr. Sekou Maiga, Chief, Regional Unit Rapporteur: Mr. Babaly Deme, ECA Expert

The sessions went according to the agenda as follows:

1. General discussion of issues pending;

2. Review of performance indicators;

3. Recommendations for the programme of action I. General discussion

The aim of this agenda item was to allow the delegations to examine certain issues which had not been previously raised before the Plenary session.

Opportunity was therefore given to delegations to deal with such questions and to trade experiences with follow-up steps for setting up data banks.

The following major issues were raised during the discussions:

(a) Data collection on the activities of small-scale.transport enterprises: whether or not regulatory measures are needed for facilitating data collection, collection tools which may be used, for example, an opinion survey, to provide information services;

(b) Professional transport associations: their future usefulness for data collection and the limits to their collaboration;

(c) The sustainability of information systems: to examine and find timely solutions to institutional, human-resource and financial issues in order to guarantee continuity after the projects end;

(d) The distinction to be made between road data banks and road transport data banks. In most cases establishment of road data banks is already very advanced;

(e) The need to collect maximum information on existing data banks for wide dissemination and with the aim of trading experiences.

II. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The working groups examined the lists of performance indicators proposed by the World Bank for roads and road transport and selected the indicators in the list attached. In terms of urban transport, taking into considerations the deficiencies in this area, the group recommended that the pilot countries should analyze the proposed indicators and verify the availability of the data necessary for their calculations, in preparation for the next seminar.

Moreover, the group recommended that pilot countries should classify the data collected to facilitate comparisons and harmonizations later on.

(30)

Annex Ilia Page 8

III. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A PROGRAMME OF ACTION

The working group identified activities to be undertaken within the framework of the project:

(a) Data collection methods on the activities of small-scale road transport enterprises;

(b) Data collection on urban transport;

(c) Data definition and collection on facilitation of international traffic;

(d) Continued sustainability of information systems after the projects end;

(e) The issue of harmonizing the definitions of certain data collection and processing methods.

For immediate action, the group recommended that pilot countries should examine the selected indicators in greater detail in order to ensure their pertinence, and the availability of the data necessary for their calculations.

WB/001 Annex IIIc Page 2

The Group three, in charge of designing future activities met on Friday, June 18, 1993 from 9 am to 12 am. The group was chaired by Mr. Chatelin. As the Group two had not finished its work the day before, it was comprised of the members of group one.

The Group recommended the following work program:

(i) Establishing of a network of information

The pilot countries (Burkina Faso, Burundi, Lesotho, Mali, Mozambique, Senegal, Uganda and Zimbabwe), the sub-regional organizations (SATCC and the Northern Corridor), the specialized agencies (ICAO, UAR and UNCTAD) as well as the World Bank and the ECA will all be part of a network of information. The communications will, initially, be done by fax.

The flow of information is summarized in the chart attached.

Within three months (end of September, beginning of October) each pilot country will prepare a first set of performance indicators. These rough drafts will be sent to each other pilot countries for advise and comments. All the available data will also be sent to the World Bank and ECA. They will also be sent to the appropriate sub-regional organizations (Burundi and Uganda to the Northern Corridor for example). The modal data will be sent to the specialised agencies (rail data to UAR, port data to UNCTAD etc.)*

The specialized agencies will review and comments on the data in an effort to achieve harmonization and coherence. The revised data from the specialized agencies will, at their turn, be distributed to the other nodes of the network.

During the next preparatory phase of three months, each partner in the network should be free to contact any other partner to get additional information or explanations. It is expected that when the system become more mature, each node will receive feed back from the project unit.

(ii) Finalizing the performance indicators

Each specialized agencies (UAR, UNCTAD and ICAO) as well as the project unit for the road mode, will, for each of the performance indicators selected, propose clear definition of the

input necessary to compute these indicators.

ICAO will prepare a set of ten to twelve key indicators and sent them to the members of the networks by mid August, 1993,

The project unit will clean-up the proposed performance

indicators (as agreed by group I and II) and send a final list to

the members of the network by end of July, 1993.

(50)

Annex II.Xg Page 3

(iii) Monitoring studies'on the data missing links.

The report of the consultants highlighted some key missing links in the data available for the transport sector (essentially data on road transport, on urban transport and on vehicle fleets)- Some pilot countries either have been able to successfully solve these issues or are embarking in a comprehensive research programs to bring solutions.

Uganda, which has a good vehicle fleet control system, has agreed to prepare a small note on their way of collecting data on vehicle fleet. This note will be distributed for review and comments through the network.

.Senegal and Burkina, Faso have just started a comprehensive exercise to collect data . on road transport (traffic counts, origin.destination surveys etc.)* These two countries will prepare small notes.on the methodology they are using for. traffic count and for origin/destihation surveys and send them through .the network.

These countries will also keep the partners regularly inform of their results and of the problems encountered.

(iv) Preparing a draft manual on road transport data.

The project unit, with the assistance of Senegal and of Mr.

Raynaud (from INRETS, France) will prepare a first draft of a manual on road transport data. This draft will be based on available information at ECA and on all data on the subject that will be sent to the project unit by the pilot countries.

(v) Preparing a draft on norms

The working group has discussed the need to establish, for each performance indicators the norm within which the indicators should fit (if a performance indicator is out-side its norm, this would, more likely indicate, that either the numerators or the denominators of the equation is wrong and that the transport services are not as efficient as they should be and that corrective

measures are more likely to be taken).

Each pilot country has agreed to propose minimum and maximum (norms) for each of the proposed performance indicators. This information should be sent through the network to the project unit which will prepare a draft report on norms by October, 1993.

(51)

WB/001

Annexe Ilie Page 4

(vi) Preparing a project document for phase II.

The project unit will assist EGA in the preparation of the project document for phase II. This project document will focus,

i.a., on the following activities. ; -

establishment of a transport data base at ECA;

elaboration of methodologies for the collection of data in the informal sectors, as well as for the urban transport and for the international road transport;

better definition of norms; .

with the assistance of the specialised agencies, preparation of proposed remedies when the performance indicators get out of the norms;

preparation of a training program for the statisticians responsible for transport data collection;

preparation of training/sensitization program for the decision makers;

dissemination of the results resulting from the pilot countries through sub-regional seminars.
