Lesson
The institutional structures of both RTAD and DOH are still weak in addressing identified road safety and maintenance issues. It is recommended that RTAD should establish a road safety section to strengthen its leadership, and DOH should establish RAMS unit to act as [an] engine room to enhance the planning process. To attract interest of private contractors to participate in maintenance works, together with providing capacity building trainings for the contractors, MOC should advocate [for a] strategy of road maintenance based on appropriate investment plan.

Lesson
Much bigger and more systematic safety issues need to be tackled, including safety technologies in vehicles, legal and compliance systems, some of which is under other agencies. Road safety needs its own investment focus through a multi-sectoral governance system. It is recommended that policy dialogues of needed institutional arrangements across the government stakeholders will continue during the implementation of ADB-financed projects.

Lesson
Road safety agenda was not highly prioritized in DOH and understanding of road safety engineering was limited. To enhance efficiency of the developed training program, further strengthening of road safety engineering section and investment prioritization on road safety program are required. Road maintenance program also does not have high profile in DOH, and capacity of potential contractors is limited. Continuous training support is recommended under ADB financed projects, to ensure the sustainability of the TA results.

Strong demand from CAREC for similar TA projects is confirmed in annual TSCC meetings and there is also potential demand from South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) countries and other DMCs for similar TA projects which are being discussed in road safety workshops and conferences. The coordination of activities of this TA with relevantinternational development agencies, agencies in CAREC member countries, civil society and other stakeholders to avoid overlapping and to maximize the effectiveness of the project can be replicated in other TA projects.

Road safety know-how in different countries are at different levels, and it isimportant to have regular meetings with government counterparts to ensure that the TA remains relevant to their needs, and to fine tune if their needs change. It is also important to build close relationships with other non-government stakeholders and determine if they have activities in the road safety sector to avoid duplication. The follow-up TA includes more regional, and national capacity development activities to support CAREC DMCs.

Lesson
Road safety requires a multi-disciplinary approach so actions on road safety needs to be taken at country level considering different approaches. Accordingly, the follow up TA (TA 9754: Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation: Knowledge Sharing and Services in Transport and Transport Facilitation Phase 2) includes more national capacity development events to support DMCs was established and became an integral block of this program.

Lesson
The training focusing on road safety engineering was aligned to ADB’s operations which led integration of road safety evaluation tools into CAREC road projects and consideration of road safety in the projects. The workshops featured practical trainings in blackspot investigation and road safety audit which was designed to assist road agencies in CAREC countries in providing safer roads.

The TA covers a variety of components regarding expressway development and operations, many of which can also be applied to the general road sectors, e.g., performance_x005F_x0002_based maintenance and construction technology. Some results produced by this TA are preliminary in nature. More detailed analysis should be performed with additional financial support to develop the systematic guidelines and specifications to be used by the RDA staff and contractors.

The implementation of the TA’s outputs is largely dependent on the successful policy reform which requires strong commitment from the government. It is suggested to continue the dialogue with the government to sustain the outputs developed by this TA.

Lesson
As outputs 1 and 2 targeted expressway development across the whole country and mainly focused on capacity building, they can be designed as part of knowledge and support technical assistance to better facilitate the nationwide initiatives and provide relatively long-term training support. For similar studies involving highly political decisions, necessary governance and institutional arrangements should be in place from the onset to improve the chance of sustaining TA outputs.
