| Summary: | The study focuses on the organizational,
technical, and management issues associated with the
restructuring, and commercialization of Road Agencies in
seven countries: Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana,
Namibia, Tanzania, and South Africa. The overall aim of this
work is to deepen the understanding of good practice in
order to provide Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program
(SSATP) partner countries with the guidance they need to set
up or restructure Road Authorities in Sub-Saharan Africa. To
this end, the main objectives are to: (1) identify some key
issues and constraints surrounding the operation and
management of Road Authorities, and (2) put forward some
basic guidelines for increasing the managerial effectiveness
and efficiency of Road Authorities. The remainder of this
report is structured as follows. Chapter two provides an
international perspective on restructuring road agencies in
terms of best practice approaches. Chapter three highlights
the fundamental principles that should be adopted for
achieving sound road management practices within a Road
Authority. Chapter four then reviews country-specific
experiences pertaining to the progress made in the
commercialization of the road management practices of road
agencies. Finally, chapter five presents the main findings,
conclusions, and recommendations of the study. Appendixes A
and B are devoted to an evaluation framework and performance
indicators, respectively. |
