| Summary: | The Common Market for Eastern and
Southern Africa (COMESA), Southern African Development
Community (SADC) and the Southern Africa Office of the
United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA)
working under the Regional Economic Communities Transport
Coordinating Committee (REC-TCC) established under the
leadership of the Sub- Saharan Africa Transport Policy
Program (SSATP) have identified vehicle overload control as
one of the priority areas. This paper is the third in a
series of three publications dedicated to the overwhelming
problem of overloaded vehicles damaging roads throughout
Africa. The first paper presented the overall problem and
related guidelines on developing sound and sustainable
control measures based on lessons learned. These lessons
learned captured in the second volume are from experiences
collected in Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and
Botswana, four countries where some good practices are
emerging that could serve as a platform for wider
replication in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region.
The selection of these countries to be used as case studies
was based on a previous survey carried out in some 18
countries representing four Regional Economic Communities
(SADC, COMESA, ECOWAS and CEMAC). |
