The next
meeting of the Association’s Council will take place in Dakar, Senegal, the
week of 7 November. This will be the first in-person Council meeting in
three years: Yes, we are beginning to see the end of the two-year tunnel of
endless online meetings, and are starting to resume face-to-face discussions, which
are so much more fruitful.
In order to
prepare for that important event, Mr Mamoudou Alassane Camara, First Delegate for
Senegal and Member of the Executive Committee, had invited me to come and visit
facilities and discuss plans. Coincidentally, ARMFA, the association of African
road funds managers was holding its general assembly in Dakar at the same time

17 May,
Leipzig (Germany) PIARC met
with partners both in person and online to discuss emerging issues within the
road transport sector as well as the latest news at each PIARC partner organisation. These discussions were very
insightful and will feed into the preparational work of the upcoming Strategic Plan 2024-2027. This time we were honoured to discuss with AfDB, CAF, CEDR, CHTS, EIB, HVT, iRAP, IRF, POLIS Network,
REAAA, TRB, UITP, UNECE and the World Bank. The
Advisory Group meets twice a year, and it is designed to provide an opportunity
for PIARC and its partners to discuss strategic issues, share news and identify
opportunities for collaborations with other organisations that are active
within the road transport sector. >> How to Partner with PIARC

In partnership with the Transformative Urban Mobility
Initiative (TUMI). Caroline Evans, Chair of PIARC TC 1.4 "Climate Change and Resilience of Road Networks" contributed to the established Project Advisory Group. Additionally, President Nazir Alli participated to the foreword. This policy guide provides background and context on the
problem and practical steps to develop, prepare and implement adaptation plans
for transport resilience to climate change. Its information is based on
findings in a recent State of Knowledge report on Adaptation for Transport
Resilience in Low-Income Countries in Africa and South Asia, and as such, it is
targeted at policymakers in these regions. Nevertheless, this guidance should
be useful for all those involved in transport resilience. >> Read the policy guide here
