Publisher Description: Better transport is essential to Myanmar's development. After decades of underinvestment, Myanmar's transport infrastructure lags behind other regional countries. Sixty percent of trunk highways and most of the railways need maintenance or rehabilitation. River infrastructure does not exist, while 20 million people lack basic road access. Can the transport sector deliver the master plan's objectives? What is needed to improve the quality of the infrastructure and services for the industry? How can basic transport services be provided to all? How can Myanmar reduce the economic and social cost of transport? The MyanmarTransport Sector Policy Note is composed of a series of 9 reports. |
