Involvement in SUMA
As a SUMA partner, GTZ-SUTP contributes to knowledge management, capacity building, and networking. They will establish a network of sustainable urban transport (SUT) training institutes and experts; develop documents and training courses on general SUT and special topics such as mass rapid transit options, non-motorized transportation, travel demand management and fiscal measures; and deliver SUMA’s "train-the-trainers" activities as part of an initial course, to be followed up in subsequent opportunities. The training courses are primarily held in People’s Republic of China and India.
