In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.

World Bank Technical Paper No. 275.This paper summarizes the experience gained from nine countries participating in the Africa Road Maintenance Initiative (RMI)--Cameroon, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The author concludes that commercialization is the key to road maintenance reform: bring roads into the marketplace, put them on a fee-for-service basis, and manage them like a business instead of a bureaucracy.Commercialization requires four complementary reforms: - Ownership--involve road users in management to win public support for more road spending- Financing--secure an adequate and stable flow of funds - Responsibility--identify all those involved in the operation and clarify the responsibilities of each - Management--introduce sound business practices and strengthen managerial accountability.The RMI, launched by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the World Bank, has spent the past six years working with African countries to identify the underlying causes of poor road maintenance policies and develop an agenda for reforming them. The initiative attempts to put the management and financing of roads on a sustainable long-term basis.

Road Management during the colonial period which lasted up till 1961 was undertaken mainly by Force Account. The system that was installed, like in all other colonies, was based on the British model of the Public Works Department. As the economy of the country was in a buoyant state road development and maintenance was undertaken without recourse to borrowings or loans. The economy of the country continued to be buoyant during the first decade after independence. The Public Works Department was then transformed to the Ministry of Works with the functions remaining almost the same. In the course of the 1970s a sharp decline in mining, large increase in oil prices, rapid inflation and fluctuating prices for agricultural products in the world market adversely affected the economy. This situation gradually eroded the base of the nations transportation infrastructure. Until the late sixties the railway was the most important means of transporting both passengers and goods but about this time the gradually improving road system, with its attendant flexibility of movement, ensured the diversion of goods from railway wagons to road trucks. Thus, with a decreasing volume of freight to move, the railway became uneconomical to operate. The railway was phased out by 1973. The World Bank financed the First Highway Project which started in 1972, and was designed to expand and improve the road network as rail service was being discontinued. While road construction and rehabilitation produced significant short-term improvements, maintenance failed to become institutionalised. The Second Highway Project which followed in 1982 provided for the re-establishment of routine maintenance of the network. However, limited success was achieved. Analysis conducted in conjunction with the First Highway Project and the subsequent Second Highway Project indicated that in addition to monetary and fiscal issues there were institutional and management issues which needed to be resolved before effective maintenance of the road network could be assured. A study commissioned by the Government in 1988 to examine the organisation of the road sector, recommended the establishment of a semi-autonomous agency with responsibilities for managing the road system, with funding provided from a Road Fund of road-user charges dedicated to road maintenance. The Sierra Leone Roads Authority was thus established in 1993 to manage the national road system. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.

Singling out roads as an important factor in economic development, this report presents the findings of a regional technical assistance inquiry carried out to examine the problem of road funding in Asia with the aim of proposing case-specific solutions. Particular attention is paid to the data collected during road assessments performed in the Kyrgyz Republic, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. Also discussed are a number of possible strategies for combating road-maintenance neglect across Asia.

A well-maintained road network that provides the level of service required by road-users is an important element of Azerbaijan's development strategy to accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty. As part of this strategy, the Government of Azerbaijan (Government) has undertaken major capital improvements on the major arterial road network. However, the secondary and local roads continue to be underfunded, and a large rehabilitation backlog has been accumulating in recent years. Deferred maintenance leads to a future burden of more expensive rehabilitation and road reconstruction: for every US$1 in deferred maintenance, there is an associated US$4 cost to road-users. To avoid such a scenario, the Government needs: (i) to devise an institutional and financing framework that provides adequate funding for maintenance and rehabilitation; and (ii) to finance capital improvements on key priority roads. The objectives of this study are: (i) to identify the weaknesses and challenges confronting the sustainability of road maintenance and rehabilitation; (ii) to determine to what extent these factors are linked to particular institutional and financing arrangements; and (iii) to assess how these factors can be resolved. The study makes a series of recommendations aimed at improving the management and financing of the road sector in Azerbaijan.
