Financial Information - 2008

2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006

For fiscal year 2007-2008 (1 April 2007-31 March 2008) IFRTD continued to enjoy the support of two core donors: the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Early 2008, IFRTD signed a new 4-year agreement with SDC for annual core funds for 2008-2011 totaling 1.2 million CHF.  Unfortunately the support of the British Department for International Development through gTKP ended in 2007 with a last installment for IFRTD’s work as rural transport theme champion.

Additional project support was given for Mobility and Health from both SDC and Sida. Sida provided the last big installment for this 3-year initiative that will allow us to complete and disseminate the work.

Short term contracts were carried out in collaboration with TRL to help develop guidelines on community participation in transport projects for the World Bank Transport Anchor, while a three-year collaboration with the University of Durham on Children and Mobility resulted in a total income of £813,810.
