Forum News 15.2: Health and Transport: a pioneering partnership

 Although the impact of transport interventions on livelihoods has been acknowledged and used as a means to achieve rural development, the relationship between transport and health has been neglected until recently. Consequently, our understanding of the dynamics of health and mobility in low-income settings has lagged behind and there is a lack of synergy between the health and transport sectors. In this issue of Forum News we share the key findings of IFRTD’s pioneering Mobility and Health Networked Research Programme, highlighting the breadth of the studies, the innovative research approach, ways in which the research is already being used to leverage change and how you can join the community.
