Just to answer Walter Hook's question on ESCAP - the Secretariat hs 
a division on Transport, Communications and Tourism which is 
implementing   the New Delhi Action Plan on Infrastructure 
Development in Asia and the Pacific.  The Plan itself has some 64 
priotitised projects - but resource mobilisation for these projects 
depends on donor  and member country prioritisation.
