GLI Manchester has announced a new publication. The Dakar Bus Rapid Transit: Labour Impact Assessment Research Report <\/a>is now available to view and download in both English<\/a> and French. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the provisional report of research commissioned by the ITF<\/a> and undertaken in partnership with the Laboratoire de G\u00e9ographie Humaine at the University of Dakar (UCAD), and Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing & Organizing (WIEGO)<\/a>. It is a contribution to the ITF\u2019s Our Public Transport (OPT) programme.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It considers the potential impact of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the \nlivelihoods and working conditions of those dependent on Dakar\u2019s urban \ntransport industry, particularly those employed in the informal economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report is based on desk research, survey questionnaires,  focus \ngroup discussions and in-depth interviews with workers. The research \naimed to capture data on the workforce in the context of the development\n of BRT in Dakar, build a profile of workforce demographics; \noccupations; work experience and qualifications; employment terms and \nrelationships; working hours and conditions; earnings; and major issues \nexperienced at work. It also aimed to determine the level of workers\u2019 \nawareness of BRT, ideas for improvements and reform, and attitudes \ntowards the introduction of BRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is the second BRT Labour Impact Assessment undertaken on behalf of the ITF. The first, completed in January 2019, was carried out in Nairobi by GLI in partnership with the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi. This report is available here.<\/a> \u2190 Kampala Bus Rapid Transit Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
