Agenda
• Introduction• Roles of IDB • Drivers of change in the road
transport sector• The way forward
3Islamic Development Bank
Introduction (i) Roads lead to prosperity Roads are expected to spur economic
growth through three main channels
More infrastructure capital leads to more production
Better infrastructure improves the productivity of
other factors
Quality infrastructure attracts investments
4Islamic Development Bank
Introduction (ii) but not all roads lead to prosperity • Need to understand demand patterns and better prioritize
road investments (from accessibility paradigm to mobility paradigm)
• Need to systematically complement physical investments by trade and transport facilitation activities to tackle non-physical barriers especially at border crossings
• Need to adapt the evaluation of road projects to better assess the spatial impacts, network effects and indirect economic benefits (understand the economic geography of transport)
5Islamic Development Bank
Roles of IDB (i) IDB at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and
LAS regions
• 22 countries in 1975 → 56 countries in 2009• 22 countries in 1975 → 56 countries in 2009
• A Unique Model of South-South Cooperation• 56 members spreading over 4 continents
Africa: 27
Asia: 26Europe: 2
Latin America: 1

Roles of IDB (ii)
Infrastructure financing by IDB Group in US$ Mn
• funding priority road projects
– More than $4bn of financing for the road transport sector since inception
– Significant scale-up since IDB Group reform
– Scale-up with other development banks and private sector participation through PPPs
– Identification of 107 priority transport corridors in Asia, League of Arab States and Sub-Saharan Africa (Study on Transport Corridors in OIC Member Countries, 2011)
Infrastructure for Growth & Sustainable Development,
2nd pillar of IDB Group new Mid-term business strategy
7Islamic Development Bank
Roles of IDB (iii)•facilitating regional integration
– Funding of priority regional corridors in Africa, Asia and LAS, such as the CAREC corridors in Central Asia, the Trans-Saharan route in Africa, etc.
– Intra-OIC trade promotion and Trade and Transport facilitation activities
– Development of cross-border infrastructure and SEZs

Roles of IDB (iv)• generating knowledge
Knowledge products financed in part by IDB in 2011-12 in road transport sector–ECO Priority Road and Rail Routes and Infrastructure Projects Study–Road Transport and border crossing facilitation in the LAS region–League of Arab States Truck Accident Causation Feasibility Study–Program for Infrastructure Development in Africa–Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program…
• promoting cooperation
Landmark developments in 2012-Creation of the Cooperation and Capacity Development Vice-Presidency-Expert Group Meeting on inter-regional cooperation to enhance trade-Scale-up of the reverse linkages activities

Drivers of change in the road transport sector (ii) Some drivers of change in OIC countries- Huge demographic pressure 1.51 billion total (22.8% of global
population), growing 5 times faster than OECD (2% AGR)- Fast-paced urbanization (42.3% in 2000, 47.4% in 2010)- Increasing reliance on imports (6.1% of total world imports in
1999, 9.2% in 2008)- Sustained economic growth (5.3% in 2010)- Fast-growing car ownership rates- Slow adoption and harmonization of transport regulations
(e.g. only 19 MCs ratified TIR convention and 18 ratified Convention on Road Signs and Signals)
- Low participation of private sector in road financing and O&M
- Slow professionalization of the freight transport sector and slow development of modern logistics (with some exceptions)
Growing demand
Policy challenges
11Islamic Development Bank
Drivers of change in the road transport sector (iii)but change with the same fundamentals
- With around 80% of passenger-km and over 50% of freight-ton km. roads will remain the backbone of the transport sector in OIC regions
- Road transport remains capital-intensive sector with long-term financing needs
- Closing the infrastructure gap and sustaining quality and safety of roads is still the main challenge for most developing countries
► Need to scale-up and adapt
12Islamic Development Bank
The way forward (i)
Scale-up investment in the road sector
• Network expansionRoad density in OIC MCs is much lower
than global averages. Investment don’t keep pace with demand growth
• Network upgrading and maintenanceOut of a total road network length of
3.6 million km, only 43% is paved. Financing road Maintenance is a major challenge
• Network interconnectionOIC MCs take advantage of their geography
to develop air and maritime transport hubsbut they are poorly connected to their hinterland

The way forward (ii)Adapt to changing context(i) adapt to socio-economic priorities
*with a view on enhancing human capital productivity and innovation capacity
Employment Generation
Sustainability & Inclusiveness
Enhancing “Software”* for Economic Growth

(ii) adapt to changing patterns of global trade
Focus on projects and activities to improve logistics performance of member countriesand integrate global supply chains

15Islamic Development Bank
The way forward (iv)(iii) adapt to local challenges using international best practices and experience of other member countriesEx1: Bus Rapid Transit

Istanbul, Turkey (2007)
?
Ex2: Trade and transport facilitation
• Experience of Turkey in the management of modern border posts• Experience of Malaysia and Senegal in Single-Windows
Curitiba, Brazil (1974)

The way forward (v)(iv) Integrate !!
► integration within and between different modes of transport for optimal efficiency
port-hinterland connections and rail-road intermodal transport
► integration with the environment for optimal sustainability green transport and land-use planning
► integration with industrial/trade strategies for optimal impactnational logistics strategies
► integration between all stakeholders for optimal synergiesrole of the private sector in financing roads and providing
trucking and logistics services, role of regional and international institutions

The way forward (v)Insights on IDB strategy
Effective delivery
Knowledge generation and Innovation
Connectivity
Scale-up
Sustainability
• Growth of activities at 10-15% p.a.• Scale-up financing through partnerships and
resource mobilization (e.g. from private sector)
• Operational excellence and results-based management
• Development of a new IDB transport policy
• Mainstreaming of innovation in IDB activities• Development of knowledge-based services• Strengthening of partnerships with expert
institutions and global initiatives (e.g. road safety)
• Institutionalization of Capacity Development and Reverse Linkages
• Enhanced dialogue with regional institutions and promotion of inter-regional cooperation
• Strategic focus on sustainability issues

ConclusionThe two-way road-Roads spur production, increase productivity and attract investments
-But roads also kill, pollute and crowd-out resources
-Successfully developing and maintaining road infrastructure is a major socioeconomic development challenge that requires sound strategic planning and economic evaluation, efficient resource mobilization, effective delivery and adaptation to international best practices and changing context.
IDB at the service of its member countries to face together these challenges
