The Transport Rehabilitation Project to be implemented over six years includes five main components including (a) road maintenance and rehabilitation; (b) railway rehabilitation; and (c) support to the transport sector. Further to this, the project includes (d) pilot programs to support the road transport industry and low cost rural transport; and (e) technical assistance to the National Planning Commission. The main project benefit will be a more efficient and cost effective transport system that permits a higher level of economic activity in the country and higher employment. The project will help remove some of the physical constraints in transport, reduce transport costs for goods and passengers, and will effectively improve exports, farm production, and the mobility of people.
