Yemen - Road Sector Strategy : Upgrading Public Expenditure, Improving Institutions and Reducing Inefficiencies
Yemen should be credited for achieving an ambitious road building program over the last 25 years, and establishing a large primary road network given its level of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population size. With the condition of 60 percent of...

| description |
Yemen should be credited for achieving
an ambitious road building program over the last 25 years,
and establishing a large primary road network given its
level of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population size.
With the condition of 60 percent of the paved network rated
good or very good, Yemen's road network appears better
than in most comparator countries. This positive feature
allows the country to satisfy economically its relatively
high demand for road transport evidenced by its substantial
vehicle fleet and traffic volumes on the arterial network.
Yet, the country's inhabitable deserts, mountainous
terrain, and population location patterns still give rise to
high transport costs and leave many small communities
isolated on mountain ridges or in remote valleys. The poor
access to markets, employment, and services in many areas
pose a serious challenge to economic and social development.
The full road sector strategy note takes stock of recent
developments in the sector and focuses on performance. It
takes into account studies prepared for the Government and
the rich dialogue between Government officials and Bank
missions over the past few years. Based on this, key issues
are identified and recommendations are made on a sector
wide, short to medium term, agenda for reform which, if
implemented, will further strengthen the performance of the
road sector, thereby increasing its contribution to the
national economy and the alleviation of poverty. |
