State of the Knowledge Study on Age, Disability and High Volume Transport in Developing Countries

The objective of this research is to understand how high volume transport can negatively affect or exclude women, girls and other vulnerable groups

Abstract

The main objective of this research theme is to understand how high volume road and rail transport situations in urban areas and along long distance transport corridors can negatively affect or exclude women, girls and other vulnerable groups. The contractors in this theme are delivering these objectives through a series of focused pieces of work related to specific areas and gaps in knowledge in the area of inclusion and transport. The contractors will also engage in communication and collaboration with other contractors across the other 3 HVT Themes in order to minimise overlap in effort and also to support the mainstreaming and integration of Inclusion into all areas of HVT.

This is an output of the High Volume Transport Applied Research Programme
