The development objective of the Integrated Transport Project for Botswana is to enhance the efficiency of the transport system by building modern business management capacity, and improving the strategic planning aspects of inter-regional transport and critical transport infrastructure. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is capacity building, institutional strengthening, and training. This component comprises provision of technical advisory services to undertake; (i) a number of pre-investment activities; and (ii) a capacity-building, knowledge transfer, and institutional strengthening and training program. It aims to introduce strategic planning and transport integration, modem methods of management and contracting, technology improvement, knowledge development, and sharing. The second component of the project is road sector investment. This component introduces a pilot long term output and performance based road contracting (OPRC) method for a road asset management program covering some 800km of rural and semi-urban road in Kanye road depot, as well as the provision of technical advisory services to monitor the progress and quality of works. The work cycle will include all required activities in order to reach the designed level of service on the specific road network from engineering to the final users' satisfaction point of view. The third component of the project is urban roads infrastructure investment. This component comprises the implementation of an urban traffic improvement program in Greater Gaborone city and technical advisory services to supervise construction of the improvement works under this component. The investment aims to solve the urgent urban congestions along the major city roads/streets and intersections introducing modem and advanced planning, design and implementation techniques.
