Road safety and road asset management components should be included in all future projects since they are keys to project sustainability and effectiveness. Since road safety involves various agencies, design and implementation arrangements for this component should be based on discussions with all related agencies and policy dialogue held with high-level government. Similarly, a comprehensive road asset management plan should be developed during project design in consultation with the agencies responsible for road assets development, operation and maintenance, overall financial allocation and releases, and auditing and accounts. Prior to approval of loans, it should be ensured that sufficient funds and proper management are available for the project roads after project completion.
