| Summary: | Yemen, the fastest urbanizing country in
the Middle East and North Africa region, has a very limited
natural resource base and the efficiency of its cities is
therefore essential for its future economic growth. However,
this efficiency is increasingly handicapped by the poor
performance of urban transport, especially in the capital
Sana'a. This report presents the main findings of this
review and makes key recommendations to improve the
efficiency of urban transport in Sana'a. It contains
the following chapters: a first chapter presents the general
context of the study, characterized by fast demographic and
spatial growth in Sana'a, causing major difficulties in
terms of urban transport management; a second chapter
analyses and describes the main underlying issues affecting
the performance and efficiency of Sana'a transport
system; a third chapter presents institutional, technical
and financing recommendations to improve the performance of
Sana'a transport system; and a fourth chapter presents
a tentative three-year action plan for implementation of the recommendations. |
