- Description
-
The Government's strategy in the road sector includes separation of the road sector management to an autonomous and efficient road authority (RA). This agency would be focused on direct accountability and management efficiency. Transformation from the current road management as a public sector function funded from budget appropriation and administered under the public services guidelines needs to be carefully planned and account for upgrading technical capacity, absorption of a significant change in corporate culture and personnel management, and assumption of contract management-based works delivery mechanism with focus on quality control and client relations. The TA will prepare a timebound, milestone-based transitional plan for transforming the current road agency into a road authority.
