The obstacles to implementation of the
entire package of reforms required by the Road Management
Institute (RMI) are not only due to governments
unwillingness to share management of resources and works
with the private sector stakeholders. Of importance also is
government uncertainty about: how the RMI concept may work
in practice in Africa since no best practice examples are
available from countries at similar levels of development.
(New Zealand may be in a different league) how government
may exercise its overall governance responsibilities by the
ministry responsible for roads; and how to fund and manage
the institutional reform process, including adequate
capacity building at all levels as a solution to public
sector redundancy problems. There is thus need for
implementation plans that are more comprehensive than those
available at this date, with strategies and budgets that
clearly address the indicated obstacles and other relevant
issues. The RMI- which has greatly contributed to the reform
achievements so far-could also be a useful instrument to
facilitate the drafting and implementation of such plans
and, as a multi-donor supported initiative, help to
coordinate donor support to the reform activities. This
role, however, require strengthening of RMI's capacity
and resources commensurate with the desired extent and level
of activities, and perhaps a review of its current
organization to ensure its effectiveness in relation to the
character and focus of the mission. |
