This paper explores institutional issues that frequently arise in rural roads projects or components. It is based upon a review of experience with some 50 World Bank-financed projects containing rural road components. Its objective is to provide guidance to project designers and program planners on factors which should be taken into account in establishing the institutional framework for rural roads planning, construction, and maintenance. It also addresses the institutional issues raised by rural roads projects under three broad headings. First, it considers the place of rural roads within the broader policy environment and the issues which may need to be addressed at this level. Secondly, the paper considers institutional issues that relate to the choice among organizational options for project execution. The third part of the paper deals in greater detail with the role of local participation in rural roads projects.
World Bank Technical Paper No. 409. In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.
Provides an analysis of rural road maintenance in the Asian region.
This book considers the problem of providing maximum access to transport services, and to roads for the rural population of the world's developing countries when limited funds are available. Access is a key factor in both social and economic development. It promotes social intercourse and opens up markets for both the rural and urban populations. Access connotes the ability to travel and to transport goods. The components of access include both the infrastructure and the transport modes or aids that use the infrastructure.
