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 transport is the dominant mode of transport in sub-Saharan Africa, carrying close to 90 percent of the region's passenger and freight transport, and providing the only access to rural communities where over 70 percent of Africans live. Despite their importance, most of the region's nearly 2 million km of roads are poorly managed and badly maintained. By 1990, nearly a third of the $150 billion invested in roads had been eroded through lack of maintenance. To restore only those roads that are economically justified and prevent further deteriorations will require annual expenditures of at least $1.5 billion over the next ten years, or more than double the requirements of regular maintenance. To find sustainable solutions to these problems, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the World Bank launched the Road Maintenance Initiative (RMI) as part of the sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP). With support from a number of bilateral donors, the Initiative has spent the last six years working with African countries to identify the causes of poor road maintenance policies and to develop an agency for reforming them. The key concept to emerge from the debate on how to strengthen financing and management of roads is commercialiation: bring roads into the marketplace and put them on a fee for service basis. However, since roads are and will largely remain a public monopoly, commercialization requires complementary reforms.

This is a three volume book that reports on a series of six subregional policy seminars organized by the World Bank and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) under the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Program to address the problems and issues of road deterioration and maintenance. These policy seminars provided a forum in which policymakers from different countries, lending experts in development, and World Bank staff were able to share ideas and experience concerning development policies that relate to road transport and maintenance. These reports are a guide to defining future activities, programs, and initiatives for reforming road maintenance policies in Africa.

Recent research suggests that isolation from regional and international markets has contributed significantly to poverty in many Sub-Saharan African countries. Numerous empirical studies identify poor transport infrastructure and border restrictions as significant deterrents to trade expansion. In response, the African Development Bank has proposed an integrated network of functional roads for the subcontinent. Drawing on new econometric results, the authors quantify the trade-expansion potential and costs of such a network. They use spatial network analysis techniques to identify a network of primary roads connecting all Sub-Saharan capitals and other cities with populations over 500,000. The authors estimate current overland trade flows in the network using econometrically-estimated gravity model parameters, road transport quality indicators, actual road distances, and estimates of economic scale for cities in the network. Then they simulate the effect of feasible continental upgrading by setting network transport quality at a level that is functional, but less highly developed than existing roads in countries like South Africa and Botswana. The authors assess the costs of upgrading with econometric evidence from a large World Bank database of road project costs in Africa. Using a standard approach to forecast error estimation, they derive a range of potential benefits and costs. Their baseline results indicate that continental network upgrading would expand overland trade by about $250 billion over 15 years, with major direct and indirect benefits for the rural poor. Financing the program would require about $20 billion for initial upgrading and $1 billion annually for maintenance. The authors conclude with a discussion of supporting institutional arrangements and the potential cost of implementing them.
