Enhancing understanding on safe motorcycle and three-wheeler use for rural transport - Inception Report

Abstract

This Inception Report details progress during the first 12 weeks of the project ‘Enhancing understanding on safe motorcycle and three-wheeler use for rural transport and the implications for appropriate training and regulatory frameworks’. The main purpose of the Inception Phase is to build an understanding of the existing situation in the 4 project countries, and to use this understanding to develop the detailed research strategies and methodologies. The understanding of the existing situation has been developed through stakeholder mapping, stakeholder engagement and a literature review. A total of 83 stakeholders have been identified, and meetings held with those stakeholders deemed most likely to contribute to the project, to provide valuable information, or to have influence over use of the project’s findings and implementation of its recommendations. Over 110 documents have been reviewed through the literature review. A team planning meeting was held in Kenya from 4th and 5th December 2017, during which the activities for the research phase were identified. This project is funded by DFID under the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
