| Summary: | Sustaining an adequate level of
resources for road maintenance has been a continuous issue
worldwide, including in South Asia. Since the late 1990s
South Asia has developed different models of Road Funds
(RFs), at the national level, or in the case of India at the
state and local level, to improve sources of financing for
road maintenance and development. The World Bank South Asia
transport team has carried out a review of RFs in the region
to draw lessons learned from the past experience. The review
provides the analytical underpinning for advising
governments on how to improve the performance of existing
RFs or how to establish new RFs for road maintenance, and
for providing guidance to the World Bank for revising its
transport sector strategy in relation to road policy reforms
in the South Asia region. |
