Economic Growth through Effective Road Asset Management (GEM) 16th ARMFA Annual General Assembly - February 2018. "PRESERVING OUR ROAD ASSET FOR REALIZING AGENDA 2063" Nkululeko V Leta and Robert N Geddes

Outline of Presentation Road Maintenance in Africa Purpose and Objectives of GEM Indicators of Asset Management Performance Constraints to achieving the objectives Vision and role of ARMFA.

Road Maintenance in Africa The road network is the biggest single asset in most countries with a replacement cost in billions of dollars. More attention still given to construction of roads than to maintenance. Maintenance systems focus more on preparing and implementing annual work programmes than long term strategic plans. Examples of good practice tend to be on donor-funded programmes with high levels of TA, but tend to flounder when donor support is withdrawn.

Road Maintenance in Africa There is now more funding for maintenance (e.g. from tolls); and Increasing capacity of the private sector. But: Road funds are still not ring-fenced for maintenance; Funds for maintenance are inadequate, especially for rural roads; and Delays in the disbursement of funds to road agencies are common.

Introduction to Project Economic Growth through Effective Road Asset Management (GEM) Research project on improving performance in road asset management Focus is on rural road networks managed by sub-national road agencies First significant attempt by ReCAP to address maintenance of rural roads on a large scale Research project – process is as important as the outcomes.

GEM Approach Encourage greater accountability of road agencies to road users and other stakeholders. Focus more on improved performance in road asset management than on any specific or pre-conceived road asset management system. Provide opportunities for the participating road agencies and their stakeholders to improve their own performance. Build capacity of road agencies to effectively carry out the activities independently and on a sustainable basis. Support to the process through demand-led technical assistance.

GEM Integration of development process

Roads agencies Role of GEM GEM aims to strengthen links between roads agencies, policy makers, road users and communities. Roads agencies IRIM2017 20-22 November 2017

Participating roads agencies Tonkolili District (Sierra Leone) Chongwe District (Zambia) Uganda National Roads Authority Kamuli District (Uganda) Western Cape (South Africa) The Western Cape provides an example of good practice in road asset management All local costs for data collection are met by the participating agencies.

Road Asset Management Performance in Road Asset Management must consider all of the inter-related components/building blocks. The Pyramid forms the basis for all GEM activities.

Questions are asked under each Building Block. Technical Assistance A Questionnaire has been developed to assess asset management performance in accordance with the Pyramid. Questions are asked under each Building Block. From the assessment using the questionnaire the roads agencies can prepare Action Plans to address weak areas in Asset Management. ReCAP is providing technical assistance through CDS for this process. IRIM2017 20-22 November 2017

Rural Roads Asset Management Indices The scoring of the Questionnaire results in the calculation of an Index of road agency performance - Road Sector Sustainability Index GEM is also monitoring Road Condition and Road Network Asset Value as indicators of Performance. Using these indicators the performance of roads agencies can be compared within a country and between countries.

External Building Block The External Building Block is the most difficult to control at road agency level. It includes: Policies for roads Government funding for road maintenance.

Social and Economic Data Collection GEM is collecting social and economic data in local communities which indicate the importance of reliable access and mobility. Mr. Nelson ‘Rolex Maker’ (Uganda) Before improvement to the road he would earn 4 bags of wheat flour a day but now he earns 6 bags a day, and 8-10 bags on market days.

Maintenance Funding for GEM project roads No maintenance was possible on GEM project roads in the 3 district road agencies in 2017 due to no funding allocation. Lack of maintenance works threatens the success of the project.

External Communications Component GEM has introduced a new component to influence policy towards rural roads. The importance of roads and consequences of no maintenance will be made known to policy makers through different media. Availability of transport Cost of transport Case studies Road condition Political decision makers Increased support for rural roads

Vision and the Way Forward Roll Out Repeat the process adding more countries and study areas. Added Value Improved performance in rural road asset management in the project areas is expected to lead to a demand for improved performance in other areas within the same country.

Vision – A role for ARMFA? Given that: The GEM project will demonstrate the benefits of improved management and maintenance of rural roads. The GEM project will provide a mechanism to achieve improved performance in roads agencies. The GEM approach can be rolled out in more countries. Could ARMFA be involved in: Encouraging road funds to make allocations for road maintenance to GEM participating road agencies Facilitating entry of new countries to GEM? Coordination of the annual project coordination meetings? Ensuring that all its members participate and benefit from the improved management and maintenance of rural roads in a sustainable manner?

Vision – A role for ARMFA post-ReCAP? Given that under ReCAP: The profile of research in participating countries has been raised through implementation of demand-driven road research projects. Capacity within existing and new road and transport research centres to conduct and manage research activities has been enhanced. Uptake and embedment of research outcomes for cost-effective provision and preservation of rural roads has been a success. Could ARMFA be involved in: Encouraging its members to provide sustainable funding for road research and development, and support road research centres? Establishing partnership with ReCAP to advance principle research targets of Provision, Preservation and Effective Use of Rural Access Supporting the sustainability of the Africa Road and Transport Research Forum established with ReCAP support?
