DFID provides assistance in the formulation and implementation of transport policies and programmes. Its work is focused on land based movement with particular emphasis on road travel, whether it be by foot, by intermediate means of transport or by motorised transport, mainly in the poorest countries of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Throughout the Engineer Knowledge and Research Programme (KaR), DFID addresses the generation, dissemination, adoption and impact of knowledge. For the transport sector, this information is consolidated in the Transport Newsletter commissioned to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). These newsletters give details of KaR transport projects, report on progress and summarise the final results achieved. They are issued on a six-monthly basis and can be obtained from TRL's web site. Additionally, DFID is currently developing a web site for the dissemination of DFID transport research (www.transport-links.org). DFID's general web site is mainly a source of institutional information about this Government department. Therefore, this web site is addressed to anyone who is interested in its activities.
