The International Forum for Rural Transport
and Development is a global network that aims to overcome the physical, economic and
social isolation of the rural poor in developing countries. The goal is to improve the
accessibility of rural communities by developing rural transport systems that respond to
their needs and potentials. IFRTD encourages an integrated approach that recognises the
importance of rural infrastructure and the potential for intermediate means of transport
that fill the gap between walking/carrying and expensive motor vehicles. IFRTD has an
international secretariat that encourages the formation of national networks (forum
groups). International Forum for Rural Transport and Development 113 Spitfire Studios, 63-71 Collier Street, London N1 9BE, UK Tel: + 44 (0) 20 7713 6699 Fax: + 44 (0) 20 7713 8290 E-mail: ifrtd@ifrtd.org Web page: http://www.ifrtd.org |
