DEVELOPING APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT AND PROCUREMENT APPROACHES FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE

This paper is based on a study funded by the U.K.'s Department for International Development (DFID) to identify the different contract-based approaches adopted worldwide for increasing the use of the private sector for road maintenance, and identifies the steps necessary to successfully commercialize operations. The study aimed to provide a critical review that would be useful to those countries currently considering such initiatives, and complements DFID's overall goals to increase productive capacity and economic efficiency by creating a competitive environment and more employment opportunities for wider sections of the community. Several key recommendations are included.
