COVID-19 Response & Recovery Research: An Evidence Base for a Resilient Future

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for practical knowledge to support policymakers, public agencies and practitioners to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on the transport sector. There has been intense demand by practitioners and policy makers from LICs for a source of information that is comprehensive, authoritative and up to date with current practice. Where do we go for the correct information? The Global Transport Knowledge Portal (gTKP) has been upgraded to provide fast-track, easy access for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to up-todate learning resources and good practices on COVID-19 impacts and responses. The Global Transport Knowledge “Partnership” (gTKP) was originally set up by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO, formerly DFID). Managed by the International Road Federation (IRF) since 2009, it has provided access to knowledge and expertise around nine key transport areas through a dedicated web portal. Since 2017, the portal also hosts knowledge resources produced by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC). With the addition of a new section on Covid-19 and transport , gTKP provides a unique one-stop-shop for hands-on knowledge and expertise.
