Consultative Workshop with African Stakeholders
Hartbeespoort, South Africa, June 12 to 14, 2006

The South African Department of Transport (DOT) presented their results work of "Household Transport Survey" in 2003, master plan and indicators. In addition, experience of developing transport policy in Kenya and Tanzania, as well as gender mainstreaming in Uganda drew attention from the participants for practical activities.

Based on the South African national household survey experience, it was recommended that countries wishing to collect national transport data should look at their own data needs and policy priorities to develop their own survey questionnaire. Also, countries should begin collecting data through a small-scale survey of 3,000-5,000 households that can be expanded over time if further data collection is needed. Transport household survey data collection should be undertaken in cooperation with national governments through line ministries and national statistics offices as much as possible in order to ensure ownership of the methodology and results as well as continuity of knowledge and building up of technical capacity within countries.
