COLIN RELF AWARD  


Applications are invited by the Secretariat of the International   
Forum for Rural Transport and Development (IFRTD) for the Colin  Relf 
 Award for innovative work on rural transport.  In 1985, Colin  Relf  
initiated the idea for the Forum, he helped establish it and   
continued to support its work till his death last year. He was also a 
  pioneer in highlighting the fact that large-scale investments in   
transport infrastructure were not improving the lives of rural  
people.  This award celebrates Colin’s interest in rural transport  
and his  concern with promoting and motivating the people with whom  
he  worked.  


The award, worth 250 UK pounds (approximately 350 US dollars),  will  
be given to a student or young professional from a developing   
country whose study/project/proposal, the panel of judges  considers  
the most interesting and exciting in terms of furthering  the current 
 thinking on rural transport.  There is no standard  application
