Manila, Philippines

Watch the re-play of the live webcast of the seminar

Despite several years of strong economic growth, many middle-income countries, including the Philippines continue to face significant challenges when it comes to eradicating extreme poverty, reducing inequality and building resilient institutions. This has raised important questions as to whether these recent gains can be sustained. The challenges are particularly pronounced in middle-income countries, more so, given the context of increasing urbanization.

The seminar, hosted jointly by the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank Group, will provide a platform to explore potential strategies and approaches for achieving sustainable transport development, drawing on recent evaluative insights from their respective evaluation units.

The seminar will provide participants with the opportunity to:

• Share insights on what works, when it comes to pursuing sustainable transport development – focusing on key issues such as inclusion, access, and institutional capacity.
• Explore emerging lessons and promote knowledge sharing among stakeholders.
• Highlight new opportunities, business models, policy interventions, and success stories from other parts of the world.
