Forum News 11.2: Transport - The Missing Link?

'Making Services Work for Poor People' is the title of the World Bank's 2004 World Development report (WDR). This edition of Forum News is an unofficial supplement to the report, highlighting the cross-cutting issue of access as a key component of effective service provision for the poor.

The IFRTD Secretariat and a team of network members were involved in the extensive consultation process undertaken by the Bank in preparation for the publication of the WDR. Here we profile the issues that the team raised during the consultations and fill the gaps that we felt remain in the published report.
