The Transport Recovery Project has four main objectives: (1) to preserve or restore surface access to large portions of the country by road and rail, restore port operations to support economic activities; (2) to promote transport sector employment, particularly by training small contractors in labor-intensive road maintenance; (3) to strengthen sectoral institutions, especially to manage contracts for road works, and operate the Luanda Railway and the port of Lobito; and (4) support sectoral policy implementation. The project will have the following components: (a) a road and bridge component to facilitate the early reopening of the primary road network, aiming at the urgent rehabilitation and preservation of the paved-highway network; (b) a port component consisting of technical assistance, and emergency repair and provision of spare parts and equipment for the port of Lobito to improve port operations and provide adequate port services for a region with high potential in agriculture; (c) a rail component including institutional and financial assistance to satisfy current demand and improve operational performance and services; and (d) an institutional development component including transport studies, project coordination, and assistance for the implementation of action plans to improve the performance of the commercial agencies benefiting from the project.
