| Summary: | The objectives of this study are: 1) to
identify weaknesses and challenges confronting the
sustainability of road maintenance and rehabilitation
management; 2) to determine to what extent these are linked
to particular institutional and financing arrangements; and
3) to assess how these factors can be resolved. The Study
makes a series of recommendations aimed at improving the
sustainability of the management and financing of the road
sector. First, the study provides an overview of the road
sector and the condition of the road network. Then it turns
to a review of road management and financing in Georgia. The
study reviews the current institutional and technical
arrangements, with regard to the ability to effectively
plan, design, construct, and maintain the road network. It
gives particular emphasis to the implementation arrangements
for the road sector, including: budgeting; management and
resources; technical standards in use; quality assurance and
education/training; and provision of maintenance for
different road classes. The findings of the study are
timely. It is hoped that they will inform a policy
discussion on the need to raise expenditures on the
maintenance of the road network, and provide a roadmap for
financing these needs in an efficient, cost-effective manner. |
