| Summary: | Explosive growth in demand for passenger
and freight transport in the South Asia region, driven by
high economic growth, has put the spotlight squarely on
ensuring enhanced delivery of infrastructure and services.
The objective of the study is to help governments and policy
makers in identifying reforms that are required to modernize
and strengthen the capacity and performance of their road
agencies to deliver large investment programs through
performance monitoring as a tool. A review of the highway
agencies in the region has been undertaken to suggest: a)
indicators to assess their capacities and performance; and
b) a roadmap to improve performance in key functional areas
of the agencies. The scope of study included a review of a
sample of highway agencies from Bangladesh, India, Nepal,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This sample included national and
provincial level highway agencies as well as road
corporations. In India, the focus was on the state-level
highway agencies. This study also incorporates findings from
earlier studies commissioned by the World Bank. |
