Framing and Conducting Research to Ensure Implementation

摘要

Jose Viegas described the history of the International Transport Forum (ITF) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental organization whose core goal is to help the ministers of transportation of its member countries make good policy decisions. ITF's focus is on information, and it advises its members on the importance of good transportation policy. ITF has 54 member countries, of which 21 are not OECD members, even though ITF is housed within the OECD. The organization's presidency rotates annually. The map of ITF member countries that Viegas showed illustrated good participation from countries across the northern hemisphere but some gaps in the southern hemisphere.
