IFRTD - Governance

IFRTD Chairman

In May 2006 IFRTD welcomed a new Chairman - Dr Danang Parikesit from Indonesia.

"I strongly believe that advocacy for rural transport and rural development issues is best undertaken by
strengthening a civil society network and establishing policy dialogues among relevant stakeholders.

By chairing the IFRTD, I hope that we – as a network – can enhance our capacity in policy advocacy and dialogue processes. I hope the Forum can continue to progressively pursue a global effort in mobilising
knowledge and experiences to develop sustainable development.

The Forum is able to assist decision makers in determining rural transport policies and investments that will empower the rural poor and disadvantaged as well as serving larger development objectives"
Dr Danang Parikesit May 2006
