Fuel Levy What
Value it Adds to the Country's Road Network |
|
|
|
The NRFA was created
in 1994 following the resolutions of the Mulungushi Conference in
1993. That conference recognised that Zambia's roads (in
common with most of sub-Sahara Africa) were suffering the effects of years
of neglect of maintenance. A backlog of maintenance and
rehabilitation had grown up which would require a major programme of
investment to redress. It was clear that external financiers
were willing to assist, but only if the future maintenance of
rehabilitated roads was assured, to break out of the cycle of
rehabilitation followed by neglect. The Road Users too were willing
to pay - fuel levy..... |

National Road Fund Agency
- Planning, Implementation and Payment Processes |
|
|
|
The National Roads
Board, being merely a financing agency is normally involved towards the
end of each of the three process. All planning for works or
programming for works to be undertaken each year, the implementation of
approved works programmes and payment for works executed (usually through
contracts) are initiated by road agencies. The National Road Fund Agency
does not make unilateral changes to any of the above processes but advises
road agencies for changes where necessary to attain adequacy and
appropriateness in programmes, transparency, efficiency and quality in
implementation and accountability in payments to be made. This has
been the cornerstone and hallmark of the operations of the National Road Fund Agency as the custodian and representative of the roads-users since its
inception. |
