Market for Eastern and Southern Africa
(COMESA) has been promoting reforms to help regional
integration for effective transport services. The study
indicated the need for better traffic management, in
general, and, specifically, to face up to the growing
congestion problem in the capital cities. Roads in major
cities have been neglected, therefore each country must
include maintenance and management of urban roads in its
transport strategy. In many of the countries, improved
access was a major issue. A high percentage of the study
area's population lacks modern road transport.
Ethiopia, for example, has one of the lowest road densities
in the world. Only 20 percent of its area is within 10 km of
an all-weather road, and about 30 percent within the same
distance of any kind of rural road. Nearly 90 percent of the
population is rural and 85 percent employed in agriculture,
but nearly three-quarters of all farms are more than a
half-day's walk from an all-weather road. This dearth
of roads is clearly a major economic and social constraint. |
