frica’s tremendous economic
growth over the past decade has
presented a unique opportunity for
the continent to use its competitive
advantage and attain real structural
transformation. New mineral disco-
veries, increased foreign direct
investments, increasing consumer base and a
growing demographic dividend among other factors
present tremendous opportunities for sustained
growth. At the same time a number of challenges are
constraining these gains and restricting the conti-
nent’s ability to competitively participate in continen-
tal and global trade.
The relevance of transport and ICT as enablers for
realizing Africa’s competitive edge need not be
overemphasized. Effective transport systems can
minimize transaction costs, times and uncertainties
and ensure a country’s participation in Agri-food and
manufacturing value chains, especially across smal-
ler integrated regional economies. In addition, they
improve access to social services, jobs and opportu-
nities for social inclusiveness. Investments in ICT are
essential to support smart solutions and spinoffs in
information access, skills and job creation and inno-
vation.
During the course of 2015, the Bank invested in a
total of 17 transport and ICT operations for a value of
US$ 2 billion. Lending was 50% above target mainly
due to increased access by ADF countries to the
ADB window and greater use of leveraging co-finan-
cing such as the Africa Growing Together Fund
(AGTF).
The Bank’s active transport and ICT projects portfo-
lio has reached USD11 billion for 114 projects under
implementation in 44 countries across Africa. Fourty
percent of the portfolio is for regional cross-border
road and highway corridors. The expected impacts
over the next few years in integrating Africa, boosting
agriculture and facilitating industrialization will be
tremendous.
The Bank stepped up efforts to diversify the portfolio
and steadily increased its involvement in aviation,
maritime, railways and urban transport which collec-
tively accounted for at least 30% of total lending. In
particular the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in
Tanzania signaled the Bank’s strong commitment to
addressing urban development challenges. In addi-
tion to completion of 12 knowledge products across
various transport thematic themes, the Bank
successfully hosted an inaugural transport forum
that provided a platform for transport experts from
across the globe to discuss development challenges
in Africa.
In 2016, the department looks forward to finalizing a
new Bank transport policy and strategy that will
assist shape its investments and refine business
processes. More effort will be made to diversify the
portfolio to include urban development, aviation, rail
and maritime whilst retaining key focus on develop-
ment of national and international road corridors.
These thematic areas are expected to have a
tremendous effect on the key areas of Bank empha-
sis in enhancing Agri-food and manufacturing value
chains, regional integration and improving the quality
life of people on the continent.
In making the end of remarkable year, the entire staff
of the department demonstrated professionalism,
dedication and hard work that cannot go without
much appreciation. The department also received
insurmountable support from various partner depart-
ments that made up and complemented the nume-
rous teams that delivered the projects.

In 2015, the Bank continued to invest in Transport and ICT
sectors that aimed at developing efficient transport
logistics and telecommunications to stimulate
socio-economic activities and improve competitiveness.
Investments in transport will support Regional Member
Countries in minimizing transport and logistics costs,
journey times, and uncertainties to ensure their effective
participation in Agrifood and manufacturing value chains. 
In addition, they will improve access to social services,
jobs and opportunities for social inclusiveness. The ICT
projects financed by the Bank are expected to provide
smart spinoffs in information access, skills and job creation
and innovation. 
The Bank continued its broad approach to economic development by supporting
continent wide corridor development projects. Linking Africa’s large number of
landlocked countries and numerous small economies is expected to result in
creation of larger markets that can attract investments and open up the countries to
intra-African and global trade. This approach will ensure that the corridors become
backbones for global and regional value chains and increase the competiveness of
economies that they influence. In 2015, our investments in regional transport
projects were tailored towards provision of reliable physical links, improvement of
cross border facilities and addressing trade and logistics challenges. Investment’s in
major regional highways linking Brazzavile (Congo) and Yaoundé (Cameroon) and
Bamako (Mali) to the Ivorian Port of San Pedro in Côte d’Ivoire are typical examples
of the Bank’s commitment. Our portfolio also diversified to include major support to
regional aviation sector with the financing of an aviation safety project for Central and
West Africa. The regional ICT project will connect Central Africa with a 900km
optical cable network to the global network and reduce cost of telephony services
which in turn will spur entrepreneurship and support local economies.
Integrating Africa
The Bank projects are designed to improve the livelihoods of people through
facilitation of movement of goods and services, stimulation of economic
activities and provision of access to social services, jobs and opportunities for
social inclusiveness. In 2015, the majority of our projects included activities that
targeted to support local communities along project zones of influence with
provision of social and agricultural infrastructure as well as private sector
investments. As an example the Nacala Corridor Project traversing three
countries of Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia included major investments in
education, water, sanitation and energy systems and soft support to vulnerable
gender groupings across age and geographical spreads. With approval of the
first BRT project for Tanzania in 2015, the Bank reaffirmed its commitment to
development of sustainable cities. The project will not only reduce urban
congestion and increase mobility and accessibility for city dwellers but also
promote green growth and improved quality of health resulting from reduced
emissions. The Bank’s pipeline for 2016 includes a number of game changing
urban projects in Ghana and Cote I’dvoire that will consolidate its effort in
promoting sustainable urban development.
Improving people’s quality of life
African Development Bank7
Our investments in transport are expected to provide
the catalytic effect in unlocking Africa’s immense
agriculture potentials. Development of integrated
agricultural value chains and agribusiness is key to
advancing the benefits for the African farmer. This is
quite evident in recently closed operations in Nigeria
where for instance, the Bank’s transport investments in
the Cross River Rural Access and Mobility Project,
directly influenced agro-based cottage start-ups in
cassava and palm oil processing. Going forward such
investments will be scaled up to have the desirable
transformative effect and unlock the sector’s
competiveness across the continent.
Supporting agriculture
development
Faced with declining industrialization, Africa needs to add
value to its expanse of natural resources in order to increase
its share of global commodity based industrialization and
propel the continent to long term diversification and
competiveness. Without substantive industrialization, the
continent will find it increasingly difficult to participate in
global value chains. Investments in modern transport and
logistics systems have potential to catapult Africa’s
participation in manufacturing Global Values chains as they
would provide seamless connectivity between the various
levels of the chain. In 2016 and going forward, transport
investments targeted at improving specific value chains will
be scaled up to promote the competiveness of economies
on the continent.
Facilitating industrialization
of Africa
As the continent’s premier development finance institution, the Bank is
positioned to provide leadership in knowledge and experience in transport.
In fulfilling this role, the Bank successfully hosted an international transport
forum in 2015 that provided a platform for transport experts from across
the globe to discuss development challenges in Africa. The event brought
together 60 speakers and over 250 participants from member countries,
regional economic communities, academia, development partners,
specialized institutions and NGOs. It was a moment of exchange for the
Bank, an opportunity to listen to member countries, our clients, and better
understand the new challenges. The Bank used the occasion to launch
several sector publications on air safety in the Central and West Africa, on
rail transport concession financing options as well as the new AfDB Road
Safety Audit and Inspection Manuals for Africa. The AfDB Transport Forum,
or ATF, has come to fill an important demand from member countries and
partners to meet and exchange on a regular basis and going forward would
be hosted bi-annually.

In 2015, the Bank approved 17 transport & ICT
operations for a value of over USD 2 billion.
With 10 projects representing close to US$ 1.6
billion, roads and highways received the largest part
of the funding. The mix of operations re-affirmed the
Bank’s commitment in the core areas of emphasis
including integrating Africa, improving the quality of
life of people and supporting agriculture
development.
• integrate Africa, with major corridor projects in
South and East Africa (Zambia, Tanzania) and West
Africa (Mano River Union area, Mali – Côte d’Ivoire
corridor)
• improve quality of life of people ans support
agriculture through investments in transport and
social infrastructure aimed at improving livelihoods
of people living in disadvantaged rural communities
in countries including Sénégal, Tanzania & Tunisia.
Urban infrastructure investments in Benin and
Kenya will not only reduce traffic congestion but
improve mobility and make the cities vibrant and
livable.
The ten road projects approved will impact positively
on the life of 18 million people.
In Tanzania, the support to the Dar Es Salaam bus
rapid transit represented the first strong
commitment of the Bank for public transport in
urban areas.
Morocco made a major investment in Nador Port,
close to Gibraltar, a key location for shipping
activities. That integrated project will attract
industries and boost the development of northern
Morocco.
In Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, the building of a new
passenger terminal will double the capacity of the
airport and consolidate tourism as a firm pillar of the
Egyptian economy.
Air sector has also been targeted through the
PASTA-CO program, reinforcing aviation safety in
the 25 countries of the ECOWAS and ECCAS. The
number of airport certified compliant with ICAO
safety standard will jump from 3 to 20 airports by
2019.
The year has been marked by an increase of
investments in ICT. The Bank financed a major
optical fiber backbone project in Central Africa, and
an important data center in Senegal which will
stimulate the service sector and accelerate job
creation.

The project primary aim is to reduce the time, and cost of transport along the North – South
corridor, which links the port of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania to the Copper-belt in Southern
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Northern Zambia. The country being landlocked is
further constrained by high costs of transport, which are estimated to add up to 40% of the cost
of the final product.
The improvement to transport infrastructure shall enhance both national and intra-regional trade,
and also the evacuation of agricultural commodities which further supports inclusive growth
through trade and further supports this.

The project is a critical link of national and regional importance linking the south eastern parts
of the country and regionally to neighboring MRU member states and ECOWAS. The road
passes through one of the areas that was severely affected by the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)
Crisis and will aide in the post recovery period in delivery and provision of access to
social-economic services. As a fragile state in transition Sierra Leone still requires the much
needed support to finance infrastructure to boost its post conflict recovery efforts.

Active Projects
PortfolioAs at end of 2015, the portfolio of Transport and ICT
included 114 operations valued at over USD 11
billion. The portfolio footprint covers the entire
continent with regions East, North and South having
the largest share followed by West, East and Central.
It is estimated that the resulting projects are positively
impacting the lives on nearly 100 million people.
Of the 114 projects at least 40% are multinational,
demonstrating the Bank‘s strong emphasis on
investing in mega transitional national projects. The
form of investments include provision of hard and soft
infrastructures and interventions in trade and
transport facilitation. With the creation of the ICT
division in 2012 the Bank has successfully invested in
three (3) major regional backbones in West and
Central Africa.
With a portfolio largely dominated by highways, the
Bank has stepped up efforts to diversify the portfolio
and has steadily increased its involvement in urban
transport, aviation, maritime and railways which
collectively accounted for at least 30% of total
operations. The bank has invested close to USD 0.62
Billion in urban transport in Lagos, Dar es Salaam,
Dakar and Nairobi potential impacting nearly 28
million people. The Bank investment in aviation is
nearly USD 0.62 billion with financing of new terminal
facilities in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt and
reinforcing aviation safety in the Democratic Republic
of Congo. In the ports sector the Bank contributed to
reinforcing shipping capacities and performance in at
least four (4) ports on the continent with the
expansion of the Port of Walvis representing a
flagship commitment of at least USD 336 million. In
rail sector, Morocco received the major part of the
investments, aimed to address the growing transport
demand on the Tangier – Casablanca – Marrakesh
corridor.

Annual Report 2015 30
The Transport and ICT Department is active in
knowledge production and dissemination by
conducting sector research and carrying out
diagnostics studies. At national or regional levels,
sector diagnostics give a precise panorama of the
issues faced by transport stockholders, while
contributing to fix national priorities and build
efficient investment plans.
At a regional and continental level, specific sector
thematic studies are contributing to new policy
direction and reforms. In 2015, an important study
concerning rail infrastructure financing policy
options was published, integrating benchmarks and
comparting the different business models, including
novel models, for investments in the railway industry
in Africa.
The Bank is also promoting best practices trough
manuals targeting governmental transport agencies.
This year, the department published a series of
manuals dedicated to road safety auditing, on new
and existing road projects, making the Bank road
safety audit tool kit one of the most up-to-date
reference document on the subject. The manuals
are now being mainstreamed in the department
operations and imbedded inside national road
agencies.
All the documents are available for free in Bank’s
website. The Transport and ICT departments also
works on their dissemination through meetings and
seminars. The first Bank’s Transport forum,
organised in November 2015, was an important
moment for networking and knowledge sharing.
“Road Safety manuals for Africa -
Existing Roads: Proactive Approaches”The study provides an overall assessment of road safety at
a regional level and points to the need for a review to
identify gaps of priority and intervention mechanisms at
country level. The study gives a basis for strengthening the
Bank’s road safety support to regional member countries
in line with the Bank group Ten Year Strategy (2013-2022)
and the sector policy. More importantly, it underlined the
Bank’s advisory role to enhance governments’
commitment and draw effective strategy towards
instituting comprehensive road safety action
plan/programme including the introduction of safe system
approach for far reaching goal.
“Road Safety in Africa Assesement of
Progresses and Challenges in Road
Safety”
The manuals have been developed based on best practice
from a number of countries worldwide, including current
practices in Africa. They adopt a ‘Safe System’ approach
throughout which is concerned with engineering the road
environment so that only low severity crashes are possible
when users make mistakes.
“Road Safety manuals for Africa –
Existing Roads: Reactive Approaches”
The two manuals (‘New Roads and Schemes – Road
Safety Audit’ and ‘Existing Roads – Proactive Approaches’)
describe methods that can be considered ‘proactive’ in
that they aim to identify safety deficits before crashes begin
to accumulate.

• Sustainability
• Regional Integration and International
Connectivity
• Urban Transport
• Road Safety
These topics have been discussed in the course
of five plenary panel discussions and nine
parallel sessions.

A SEMINAR TO DISCUSS THE FINANCING
OF URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
In June 2015, in Abidjan, the Bank invited key stockholders for an exchange of information over land value
capture (land based financing) as a mechanism for funding urban infrastructure. Title “Urban infrastructure in
Sub-Saharan Africa – harnessing land values, housing and transport”. The primary content of the meeting has
been to relate and discuss the research work done in this topic by the African Centre for Cities for Department
for International Development of United Kingdom (DFID).
The meeting also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the broader issues associated with
infrastructure finance in Sub-Saharan African cities in order to allow information to be shared by development
agencies and development finance institutions based on their experience and programme work.
"This forum addresses a crucial
need for strategic thinking"
Hamadou Hachim Koumare,
Ministre de l’Équipement, du Transports
et du Désenclavement - Mali

  • 4. frica’s tremendous economic growth over the past decade has presented a unique opportunity for the continent to use its competitive advantage and attain real structural transformation. New mineral disco- veries, increased foreign direct investments, increasing consumer base and a growing demographic dividend among other factors present tremendous opportunities for sustained growth. At the same time a number of challenges are constraining these gains and restricting the conti- nent’s ability to competitively participate in continen- tal and global trade. The relevance of transport and ICT as enablers for realizing Africa’s competitive edge need not be overemphasized. Effective transport systems can minimize transaction costs, times and uncertainties and ensure a country’s participation in Agri-food and manufacturing value chains, especially across smal- ler integrated regional economies. In addition, they improve access to social services, jobs and opportu- nities for social inclusiveness. Investments in ICT are essential to support smart solutions and spinoffs in information access, skills and job creation and inno- vation. During the course of 2015, the Bank invested in a total of 17 transport and ICT operations for a value of US$ 2 billion. Lending was 50% above target mainly due to increased access by ADF countries to the ADB window and greater use of leveraging co-finan- cing such as the Africa Growing Together Fund (AGTF). The Bank’s active transport and ICT projects portfo- lio has reached USD11 billion for 114 projects under implementation in 44 countries across Africa. Fourty percent of the portfolio is for regional cross-border road and highway corridors. The expected impacts over the next few years in integrating Africa, boosting agriculture and facilitating industrialization will be tremendous. The Bank stepped up efforts to diversify the portfolio and steadily increased its involvement in aviation, maritime, railways and urban transport which collec- tively accounted for at least 30% of total lending. In particular the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Tanzania signaled the Bank’s strong commitment to addressing urban development challenges. In addi- tion to completion of 12 knowledge products across various transport thematic themes, the Bank successfully hosted an inaugural transport forum that provided a platform for transport experts from across the globe to discuss development challenges in Africa. In 2016, the department looks forward to finalizing a new Bank transport policy and strategy that will assist shape its investments and refine business processes. More effort will be made to diversify the portfolio to include urban development, aviation, rail and maritime whilst retaining key focus on develop- ment of national and international road corridors. These thematic areas are expected to have a tremendous effect on the key areas of Bank empha- sis in enhancing Agri-food and manufacturing value chains, regional integration and improving the quality life of people on the continent. In making the end of remarkable year, the entire staff of the department demonstrated professionalism, dedication and hard work that cannot go without much appreciation. The department also received insurmountable support from various partner depart- ments that made up and complemented the nume- rous teams that delivered the projects.

  • 8. Key Messages OITC Annual Report 2015 6 In 2015, the Bank continued to invest in Transport and ICT sectors that aimed at developing efficient transport logistics and telecommunications to stimulate socio-economic activities and improve competitiveness. Investments in transport will support Regional Member Countries in minimizing transport and logistics costs, journey times, and uncertainties to ensure their effective participation in Agrifood and manufacturing value chains.  In addition, they will improve access to social services, jobs and opportunities for social inclusiveness. The ICT projects financed by the Bank are expected to provide smart spinoffs in information access, skills and job creation and innovation. 
  • 9. The Bank continued its broad approach to economic development by supporting continent wide corridor development projects. Linking Africa’s large number of landlocked countries and numerous small economies is expected to result in creation of larger markets that can attract investments and open up the countries to intra-African and global trade. This approach will ensure that the corridors become backbones for global and regional value chains and increase the competiveness of economies that they influence. In 2015, our investments in regional transport projects were tailored towards provision of reliable physical links, improvement of cross border facilities and addressing trade and logistics challenges. Investment’s in major regional highways linking Brazzavile (Congo) and Yaoundé (Cameroon) and Bamako (Mali) to the Ivorian Port of San Pedro in Côte d’Ivoire are typical examples of the Bank’s commitment. Our portfolio also diversified to include major support to regional aviation sector with the financing of an aviation safety project for Central and West Africa. The regional ICT project will connect Central Africa with a 900km optical cable network to the global network and reduce cost of telephony services which in turn will spur entrepreneurship and support local economies. Integrating Africa The Bank projects are designed to improve the livelihoods of people through facilitation of movement of goods and services, stimulation of economic activities and provision of access to social services, jobs and opportunities for social inclusiveness. In 2015, the majority of our projects included activities that targeted to support local communities along project zones of influence with provision of social and agricultural infrastructure as well as private sector investments. As an example the Nacala Corridor Project traversing three countries of Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia included major investments in education, water, sanitation and energy systems and soft support to vulnerable gender groupings across age and geographical spreads. With approval of the first BRT project for Tanzania in 2015, the Bank reaffirmed its commitment to development of sustainable cities. The project will not only reduce urban congestion and increase mobility and accessibility for city dwellers but also promote green growth and improved quality of health resulting from reduced emissions. The Bank’s pipeline for 2016 includes a number of game changing urban projects in Ghana and Cote I’dvoire that will consolidate its effort in promoting sustainable urban development. Improving people’s quality of life African Development Bank7
  • 10. Our investments in transport are expected to provide the catalytic effect in unlocking Africa’s immense agriculture potentials. Development of integrated agricultural value chains and agribusiness is key to advancing the benefits for the African farmer. This is quite evident in recently closed operations in Nigeria where for instance, the Bank’s transport investments in the Cross River Rural Access and Mobility Project, directly influenced agro-based cottage start-ups in cassava and palm oil processing. Going forward such investments will be scaled up to have the desirable transformative effect and unlock the sector’s competiveness across the continent. Supporting agriculture development Faced with declining industrialization, Africa needs to add value to its expanse of natural resources in order to increase its share of global commodity based industrialization and propel the continent to long term diversification and competiveness. Without substantive industrialization, the continent will find it increasingly difficult to participate in global value chains. Investments in modern transport and logistics systems have potential to catapult Africa’s participation in manufacturing Global Values chains as they would provide seamless connectivity between the various levels of the chain. In 2016 and going forward, transport investments targeted at improving specific value chains will be scaled up to promote the competiveness of economies on the continent. Facilitating industrialization of Africa As the continent’s premier development finance institution, the Bank is positioned to provide leadership in knowledge and experience in transport. In fulfilling this role, the Bank successfully hosted an international transport forum in 2015 that provided a platform for transport experts from across the globe to discuss development challenges in Africa. The event brought together 60 speakers and over 250 participants from member countries, regional economic communities, academia, development partners, specialized institutions and NGOs. It was a moment of exchange for the Bank, an opportunity to listen to member countries, our clients, and better understand the new challenges. The Bank used the occasion to launch several sector publications on air safety in the Central and West Africa, on rail transport concession financing options as well as the new AfDB Road Safety Audit and Inspection Manuals for Africa. The AfDB Transport Forum, or ATF, has come to fill an important demand from member countries and partners to meet and exchange on a regular basis and going forward would be hosted bi-annually.

  • 12. Lending Achievements OITC Annual Report 2015 10 2015 In 2015, the Bank approved 17 transport & ICT operations for a value of over USD 2 billion. With 10 projects representing close to US$ 1.6 billion, roads and highways received the largest part of the funding. The mix of operations re-affirmed the Bank’s commitment in the core areas of emphasis including integrating Africa, improving the quality of life of people and supporting agriculture development. • integrate Africa, with major corridor projects in South and East Africa (Zambia, Tanzania) and West Africa (Mano River Union area, Mali – Côte d’Ivoire corridor) • improve quality of life of people ans support agriculture through investments in transport and social infrastructure aimed at improving livelihoods of people living in disadvantaged rural communities in countries including Sénégal, Tanzania & Tunisia. Urban infrastructure investments in Benin and Kenya will not only reduce traffic congestion but improve mobility and make the cities vibrant and livable. The ten road projects approved will impact positively on the life of 18 million people. In Tanzania, the support to the Dar Es Salaam bus rapid transit represented the first strong commitment of the Bank for public transport in urban areas. Morocco made a major investment in Nador Port, close to Gibraltar, a key location for shipping activities. That integrated project will attract industries and boost the development of northern Morocco. In Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, the building of a new passenger terminal will double the capacity of the airport and consolidate tourism as a firm pillar of the Egyptian economy. Air sector has also been targeted through the PASTA-CO program, reinforcing aviation safety in the 25 countries of the ECOWAS and ECCAS. The number of airport certified compliant with ICAO safety standard will jump from 3 to 20 airports by 2019. The year has been marked by an increase of investments in ICT. The Bank financed a major optical fiber backbone project in Central Africa, and an important data center in Senegal which will stimulate the service sector and accelerate job creation.

The portfolio footprint covers the entire continent with regions East, North and South having the largest share followed by West, East and Central. It is estimated that the resulting projects are positively impacting the lives on nearly 100 million people. Of the 114 projects at least 40% are multinational, demonstrating the Bank‘s strong emphasis on investing in mega transitional national projects. The form of investments include provision of hard and soft infrastructures and interventions in trade and transport facilitation. With the creation of the ICT division in 2012 the Bank has successfully invested in three (3) major regional backbones in West and Central Africa. With a portfolio largely dominated by highways, the Bank has stepped up efforts to diversify the portfolio and has steadily increased its involvement in urban transport, aviation, maritime and railways which collectively accounted for at least 30% of total operations. The bank has invested close to USD 0.62 Billion in urban transport in Lagos, Dar es Salaam, Dakar and Nairobi potential impacting nearly 28 million people. The Bank investment in aviation is nearly USD 0.62 billion with financing of new terminal facilities in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt and reinforcing aviation safety in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the ports sector the Bank contributed to reinforcing shipping capacities and performance in at least four (4) ports on the continent with the expansion of the Port of Walvis representing a flagship commitment of at least USD 336 million.

  • 32. Knowledge Production & Dissemination OITC Annual Report 2015 30 The Transport and ICT Department is active in knowledge production and dissemination by conducting sector research and carrying out diagnostics studies. At national or regional levels, sector diagnostics give a precise panorama of the issues faced by transport stockholders, while contributing to fix national priorities and build efficient investment plans. At a regional and continental level, specific sector thematic studies are contributing to new policy direction and reforms. In 2015, an important study concerning rail infrastructure financing policy options was published, integrating benchmarks and comparting the different business models, including novel models, for investments in the railway industry in Africa. The Bank is also promoting best practices trough manuals targeting governmental transport agencies. This year, the department published a series of manuals dedicated to road safety auditing, on new and existing road projects, making the Bank road safety audit tool kit one of the most up-to-date reference document on the subject. The manuals are now being mainstreamed in the department operations and imbedded inside national road agencies. All the documents are available for free in Bank’s website. The Transport and ICT departments also works on their dissemination through meetings and seminars. The first Bank’s Transport forum, organised in November 2015, was an important moment for networking and knowledge sharing.
  • 33. “Road Safety manuals for Africa - Existing Roads: Proactive Approaches”The study provides an overall assessment of road safety at a regional level and points to the need for a review to identify gaps of priority and intervention mechanisms at country level. The study gives a basis for strengthening the Bank’s road safety support to regional member countries in line with the Bank group Ten Year Strategy (2013-2022) and the sector policy. More importantly, it underlined the Bank’s advisory role to enhance governments’ commitment and draw effective strategy towards instituting comprehensive road safety action plan/programme including the introduction of safe system approach for far reaching goal. “Road Safety in Africa Assesement of Progresses and Challenges in Road Safety” The manuals have been developed based on best practice from a number of countries worldwide, including current practices in Africa. They adopt a ‘Safe System’ approach throughout which is concerned with engineering the road environment so that only low severity crashes are possible when users make mistakes. “Road Safety manuals for Africa – Existing Roads: Reactive Approaches” The two manuals (‘New Roads and Schemes – Road Safety Audit’ and ‘Existing Roads – Proactive Approaches’) describe methods that can be considered ‘proactive’ in that they aim to identify safety deficits before crashes begin to accumulate. “Road Safety manuals for Africa - New Roads and Schemes: Road Safety Audit” A SERIES OF 4 PUBLICATIONS ON ROAD SAFETY, AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH LANGUAGES.
