Road Funds Revisited: A Preliminary Appraisal of the Effectiveness of "Second Generation" Road Funds

This paper reviews empirical evidence regarding road funds in Africa. It notes that newer road funds have been instruments through which the administration of road financing has been somewhat improved, especially in terms of road condition and execution capability of funding. In addition, these road funds have not undermined fiscal flexibility, as others have previously thought they might.
