Achieving sustainability requires a consistent and long term approach. The sustainability of project outcomes is greatly dependent on an ongoing commitment by the government to road maintenance, rehabilitation and asset management. Significant steps have been taken to harmonize donor assistance to the transport sector in support of a sector-wide approach. The ongoing Transport Sector Development Project and its support to MID (Ministry of Infrastructure Development) provides a predictable medium-term source of financing through NTF (National Transport Fund). CPIU (Central project implementation unit) already uses government systems, 'topped up' as required, for procurement and other technical and safeguard procedures, and policies for planning, implementing, and maintaining transport assets within the framework of the NTP (National Transport Plan).
