 La
Lettre de l'Institut des Sciences et des Techniques de l'Equipement
et de l'Environnement pour le Développement.
Editorial
ISTED's road activities:
towards other horizons
Financing construction, operations and maintenance,
engineering structures, earthworks, roads or road facilities... French
road engineering is recognised worldwide. And right from the start it
has been ISTED's focus of attention. The Institute's road members from
both public and private sectors are eminent representatives of this sector.
This number of the Lettre presents the rich heritage of ISTED's road activities
through examples of projects conducted in Africa. A continent in which
France intends to continue and extend its develop aid initiatives, as
demonstrated by the recent visit of Jacques Chirac, the French president.
Africa thus remains the cornerstone of ISTED's activities. But in accordance
with the perspectives outlined at the last general assembly, the "Roads"
section is aiming to broaden its scope through projects conducted within
both PIARC (World Road Association) and Cesroute (Advanced Roads Study
Course).
Furthermore, ISTED's charter, revised in 1993, stipulates that the association's
mission focuses on all developing countries and those in transition.
A more wide-ranging field of activities dedicated to all those engaged
in the task of building - such is ISTED's goal.
Philippe Léger,
ISTED "Roads" Vice President
