Sustainable Road Financing & Investment
2007-07-04
Most developing countries depend on traditional sources of road financing and investment within which the funding for road construction and maintenance is usually inadequate and unsustainable. To address this challenge countries implement various initiatives such as the establishment of road funds and toll road systems, yet funding inefficiencies remain.
An International Seminar 'Sustainable Road Financing and Investment', held in Arusha Tanzania from 16-20 April 2007, aimed to facilitate the exchange of new approaches to:
187 participants from 36 countries included road sector policy and decision makers, development partners, practitioners, contractors, consultants, researchers and academia, students, road users and other interested parties.
The papers from the Seminar are now available online at: www.roadsfundtz.org/web/seminar.html
The Seminar organisers were:
The Ministry of Infrastructure Development of the United Republic of Tanzania
in collaboration with:
The World Road Association (PIARC) www.piarc.org
African Road Maintenance Funds Association (ARMFA) www.armfa.org
Association of African Road Managers and Partners (AGEPAR)
