After seven years, the HVT (high volume transport) Applied Research Programme has closed, leaving a legacy of an extensive repository of new research supporting the development of transport in LMICs that is greener, safer and more accessible, affordable and inclusive.

The team has published a compendium highlighting the 188 research reports and policy documents from more than 100 projects that together form the HVT body of research across themes including climate change, data, inclusion, informal transport, active mobility, infrastructure and access, road safety, crisis response, policy change and capacity building.

The international development consultancy DT Global led hundreds of researchers to create this body of research, and Transport-links.com will continue to host the HVT and other transport related research. Any queries about the programme can be sent to DTGlobalUK@dt-global.com

Lessons from the frontier of AI in international development

Artificial intelligence is often presented as a new frontier for international development. But the Frontier Tech Hub’s 4-part newsletter series, On the Frontier of AI, tells a more grounded and useful story: AI is not new, not only about large language models, and not useful unless the right data, infrastructure, institutions and safeguards are in place.
