Road Sector Reform: A Tale of Two Countriea,Part 1 Ghana- Serendipity of Foresight?

This note is the first of a series intended to share information about issues raised in various Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) reports. It discusses the road sector reform process in Ghana, which is still challenged by political, economic, and social forces. It also examines the sustainable Ghana Roads Fund, which is financed mainly by a fuel levy, and the contracting process, where all three agencies (the Ghana Highways Authority, Department of Feeder Roads, and the Department of Urban Roads) contract up to ninety percent of periodic road maintenance to the private sector.
