Economic Growth through Effective Road Asset Management, Final Report
The countries that participated in this project are Zambia, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and the Western Cape region of South Africa
Abstract
The Research for Community Access Partnership (ReCAP) has provided technical assistance and capacity building initiatives to foster sustainable improvements in asset management performance in selected rural road agencies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The countries that participated in the project are Zambia, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and the Western Cape region of South Africa. District road networks were selected in each country as a focus for the research project. Central to the research methodology was the development of a specification to enable road agencies to assess their performance in asset management as a basis for self-improvement. Simple tools were developed and piloted in the participating countries. As a result of undertaking the project, there is now an increased awareness of the importance of adopting a holistic approach to road asset management. This Final Report summarises the activities and outcomes over a three-year period from November 2015 to the end of 2018.
This work is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
