The World Bank has identified as one of its goals improved decision making and pro-poor resource allocation in transport and rural utilities, and through its TRISP programme aims to strengthen the demand for, and improve access to relevant knowledge. DFID is working with the Bank on the TRISP project, and as an initial contribution has proposed a knowledge demand assessment to review what is already known about knowledge demand and the role of information in livelihoods and policy processes, the demand for information and knowledge by different stakeholders, and map the knowledge and learning environments in the World Bank and DFID and their transport information products with intended audiences, circulation and evidence of impact. ODI was contracted to undertake a rapid, internet-based literature review to launch this process.
