Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) needs to invest 1.5-2.0 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on roads annually, over at least five years, which amounts to typically a threefold increase in spending. Otherwise the road network will continue to pose a major impediment to achieving the first goal of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): halving income poverty estimate of 1990 by the year 2015. However, transport is but one of the sectors yearning for increased public funding; there is competition from sectors like health and education. It is therefore imperative that the much needed finances are drawn from the private sector. This paper explores ways of capturing private finance, and management expertise, for road network management. The paper starts with an exposition of the relationship between roads and equitable economic growth in SSA. The state of the SSA road network is then discussed. It is observed that all-weather roads constitute only approximately one quarter of the network. The poor state of the network is attributed to the widespread notion that roads are a public good. It is argued that this is a delusion that must be dispelled. A change in attitude would make the heavily trafficked roads attractive to private finance; create fiscal space for low volume roads; and subsequently lead to a sustainable road network. The future of domestic equity and debt markets - key drivers of private infrastructure financing - is explored. Lessons on enhancing SSA domestic markets are drawn from Asia. The paper then presents emerging success stories in private road financing in Africa. Benefits of maturity in private infrastructure financing, based on the UK experience, are outlined. The paper concludes that road space should be treated as a private good, subject to market forces of demand and supply. Where demand is high, road space should be packaged and taken to the marketplace.

The Millennium Development Goals Technology Road Map highlights the role tech innovation has played in supporting the goals and the development framework in general. From giving e-readers to students, to subsistence farmers texting banking information on their mobiles, to using podcasts to bring more awareness to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, technology has certainly made an impact. However, there have also been many bumps along the way which have drawn much criticism in a variety of areas. The Millennium Development Goals Technology Road Map helps us better understand benchmarks and areas where there is still a need for improvement coming onto the deadline, as well as looking beyond 2015.

Transport is an essential service that must contribute to national development objectives in health, education, agriculture and other sectors in guiding sub-Saharan Africa out of poverty. Developing policies aimed at providing safe, reliable and affordable transport infrastructure and services can and will make a substantial and sustainable contribution to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, improving health care and reducing HIV/AIDS. Although transport is identified as a priority in poverty reduction strategies, it has not generally been adequately addressed. Global responses tend to focus on rural transport infrastructure—principally roads—with little attention given to sub-sectors such as rivers, lakes, and railroads; and important geographical and econological differences are ignored. The needs of the urban poor have been weakly addressed, as have the access and mobility needs of women, the disabled and other disadvantaged groups, while strategies for adapting transport to agricultural production/distribution or social services (e.g. health and education) have not been adequately developed. A systematic approach to the development of sound, comprehensive transport sector programs that provide clear guidance on what is to be done is much needed. This volume—the product of an expert workshop held at Cornell University’s Institute for African Development in May, 2007—provides accounts of an array of African operational spaces in which transport is relevant to the Millennium Development Goals. It addresses many heretofore ignored dimesions of transport—mobility issues of the urban poor, of women and children, and issues of access to employment, education and health services. It provides an alignment of transport with the MDGs in what proves to be fertile ground for research with important messages for policy makers and consequences for policy.
