ADB - TransportationADB - Transportation
According to Asian Development Bank (ADB), Asia and the Pacific will need $2.5 trillion investment in the transport sector for the period 2010 through 2020. In support, ADB has provided the Sustainable Transport Initiative (https://www.adb.org/documents/sustainable-transport-initiative-operational-plan) which focuses on safe, accessible, affordable, environment-friendly transport systems in the region. Additionally, ADB intends to allocate around $17 billion for the period 2018 through 2020, mostly in South Asia (i.e., Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India); Southeast Asia (i.e., Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam); and Central West Asia (i.e., Afghanistan, Georgia, Kyrgyz, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). Mongolia, China, and Pacific Islands countries will also receive ADB assistance. Contractors will usually find opportunities in the construction of roads, highways, bridges, and railways, while consultants will find business in project management, engineering, and planning. Opportunities also exit in urban smart transport systems and intelligent transport systems.
