The main goal of TTi is the Development of projects and program to improve training for transport in Developing Countries. Members are invited to contribute by writing a Concept Note containing the main ideas of their proposals. You may download the form here.

The following project proposals have been developed:

• Training course on sustainable transport in Developing Countries
  Sustainable transport is an important component of a sound development process in the South. Within this project a training course is developed that focuses on sustainable transport. The course is divided in 10 modules that may be used flexible, as part of a larger curriculum or as standalone courses.
• Training on rural transport and logistics planning
  This is a three day training course for regional planners and local government officials initially targeted at five African countries. The course aims at providing innovative tools and approaches for integrating rural transport and logistics into traditional rural regional planning approaches
• Masters (Ma) course in infrastructure and transport
  The Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Nairobi intends to establish a Masters course in infrastructure and transport. Support will be given in curriculum development and training of lecturers and initial sponsorship of students .
  
• Training to reduce maternal death in Africa through improving rural access
  This project will develop a short collaborative training course on Transport & Maternal Health for practitioners in the health and transport sectors that will raise awareness of the impact that poor rural access plays in maternal mortality, map the practical and policy measures and solutions available and develop a collaborative training experience to promote the development of multi-sectoral practical actions to overcome the challenge of reducing maternal death.
• Development and implementation of incentive and revenue models for community-based data collection centres
  The main goal of the project is to develop training tools and also provide training to community organised bodies in order to setup data collection structures and systems that would manage incentive schemes for community surveys, including charge rates, sample selection techniques, communication and marketing.
• Training course on large transport investments in Sub-Saharan Africa
  The course shall enable local decision makers and planners to adequately plan and implement large scale transport investment programs initially in Sub-Saharan Africa and thus secure sustainability. The course shall timely accompany each stage of the project and provide general as well as specific information on the present step. The course shall be developed in a manner that future replication for other projects is possible.
• Road safety resource management for local government
  The main goal of the project is to develop training tools and provide training to municipalities in order to systematically manage resources required to improve road safety problems, including budgeting.
• Maintenance training for railways
  Railway systems in Developing Countries are often in a poor condition due to inadequate maintenance. The network needs proper maintenance to improve operations, enhance safety and reduce transport cost. For this purpose, training modules for rail maintenance are developed.
