Transportation: Making the connections – reaching the opportunities

This work was carried out under the Infrastructure and Cities for Economic Development (ICED) facility.

ICED supported DFID country offices, central teams and ODA-spending Other Government Departments to deliver DFID’s Economic Development Strategy by scaling up programming and investment in infrastructure and cities. It operated between February 2016 and July 2019.

This note highlights linkages between improved transport services and development. It summarises how these are essential to individual access to opportunities, business and industrial connectivity, and economic growth at local, national and regional levels. It also considers areas of comparative advantage for DFID and the UK more widely, and concludes with potential areas of ICED support.
