AFCAP Workshops at the T2 Conference, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Descriptions

The Africa Community Access Programme (AFCAP), a DFID (UK) funded research initiative, is addressing the challenges of providing reliable access for poor communities. AFCAP provides advice and undertakes research to facilitate the delivery of safe and sustainable rural access. AFCAP is based around a portfolio of research, demonstration, advisory and training projects, which identify and support the uptake of low cost, proven solutions for rural access that maximise the use of local resources. The outputs from these projects are feeding directly into regional and national rural transport policies and strategies for poverty reduction. The 7th Africa Transportation Technology Transfer (T2) Conference will be held in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, from 11th to 14.5.2015. The objective of the conference is to provide a forum to share, exchange and debate experiences, best practices, and new technologies in the provision, maintenance and management of transport systems. It is also a forum for sharing and exchange of existing and new approaches on technology transfer that enable countries to develop safe, efficient, reliable and affordable transport. The conference format includes technical presentations, workshops, poster sessions, social events and product exhibitions. The Conference Theme is ‘Mobilising resources for transport infrastructure development and maintenance for poverty alleviation in Africa’. Cardno is now calling for proposals from regional and international practitioners to facilitate knowledge sharing workshops at the 7th Africa Transportation Technology Transfer (T2) Conference.Note: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at: http://www.myTenders.org/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=150151
