| Summary: | Air transport plays an important role
in fostering development, particularly in facilitating
economic integration, generating trade, promoting tourism,
and creating employment opportunities. It facilitates
integration into the global economy and provides vital
connectivity on a national, regional, and international
scale. However, in many countries, air transport equipment
and infrastructure, regulat ory frameworks, and safety and
security oversight systems are inefficient or inadequate. In
view of these challenges and to assist clients in
establishing a safe, secure, cost-efficient, accessible and
reliable air transport network, the Bank is mandated to
undertake the following major activities: (i) Operational work
through projects and technical assistance; (ii) Economic sector
work, research, and knowledge dissemination on air transport
related issues; (iii) External relations and collaboration with
partner organizations and (iv) External relations and
collaboration with partner organizations. This report
focuses on Air transport portfolio and project highlights
for the year 2021. |
