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.

RED - Roads Economic Decision Model -- Software User Guide & Case StudiesThis manual presents the Roads Economic Decision Model (RED) developed to improve the decision-making process for the development and maintenance of low-volume rural roads. The model performs an economic evaluation of road investments options using the consumer surplus approach and is customized to the characteristics and needs of low-volume roads such as the high uncertainty of the assessment of the model inputs, particularly the traffic and condition of unpaved roads, the importance of vehicle speeds for model validation, the need for a comprehensive analysis of generated and induced traffic, and the need to clearly define all accrued benefits. RED computes benefits for normal, generated, induced, and diverted traffic, and takes into account changes in road length, condition, geometry, type, accidents, and days per year when the passage of vehicles is further disrupted by a highly deteriorated road condition (wet season). Users can add to the analysis other benefits, such as non-motorized traffic, social services and environmental impacts, if computed separately. The model is presented on a series of Excel 2000 workbooks that collect all user inputs, present the results on an efficient manner and performs sensitivity, switching values and risk analyses.
