Officials from Zimbabwe are among the delegates participating in a workshop focused on developing a monitoring and tracking framework for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport.
This workshop is part of the ongoing 88th session of the United Nations Inland Transport Committee (ITC) being held at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
It brings together experts, practitioners, and other stakeholders to collaboratively create a monitoring and tracking framework for the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport.
The 88th session of the United Nations Inland Transport Committee (ITC), running under the theme “Driving Innovation for the Future of Inland Transport,” commenced on Tuesday and will run until Friday.
Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona is leading the Zimbabwean delegation, which also includes the ministry’s legal advisor, Advocate Kingston Magaya; Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) board chairperson Mr Kura Sibanda; TSCZ managing director Mr Munesu Munodawafa; and other senior Government officials.
Zimbabwe’s participation signals its intent to strengthen transport policies, align with global standards, and deepen regional and international cooperation.
More than 20 ministers from around the world, along with senior government officials, heads of international organisations, and leaders from industry and civil society, are discussing strategic priorities and considering a wide range of policy, governance, and technical issues shaping the future of inland transport across road, rail, inland waterways, and intermodal systems.
The Inland Transport Committee serves as the UN platform for inland transport, aiming to effectively address global and regional needs in the sector.
This meeting is taking place amid significant transformations within the United Nations system and the global transport sector.
