Construction Industry Development and the Road Sector - Effectiveness of National Construction CouncilsThe note reviews the objectives, programs, impact and lessons learned from the operations of the three National Construction Councils (NCCs) established to date - in Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. The Councils share the common feature of being an instrument of public-private partnership in the construction industry backed by legislation providing a governance structure and certain statutory powers and responsibilities. Whilst the business of the NCCs covers all aspects of the industry, there has been a strong focus on the road construction and maintenance given its importance for employment growth and new business development. With this in mind and focusing primarily on the role that NCCs have sought to play in the road sector, the note seeks to provide answers to three specific questions: (a) How effective have these particular structures been in achieving their goals? (b) Does experience suggest that this model might have wider applicability or not? and (c) Would these developments have likely occurred anyhow in the absence of a NCC?

Building Capacity in Management and Financing in the Road SectorThe road sector is going through a period of substantial change. Countries have to keep pace with expanding demand for road infrastructure as well as addressing the backlog of maintenance and its underlying causes. This situation has given rise to significant institutional reforms as countries have sought to improve road management sector. This note discusses issues related to the professional staff needs of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA); training for capacity building; institutional strengthening of road sector institutions in SSA countries; and, contribution of international and regional training. Further, the note identify and discusses five specific areas of challenges : ensure that the total offer of capacity building opportunities responds to demand, including that in languages other than English; involve regional associations in meeting demand and program design; sharpen the definition of the specific sub-markets within the overall demand and develop relevant offerings; promote wider involvement of training institutions including those in SSA; and develop and disseminate materials for communicating innovations, and on findings and recommendations for improved road management.
