The aim of the project is to strengthen the planning and implementation capacity of the road sector entities: ANE (National Road Administration), FE (Road Fund) and MOPH (Ministry of Public Works and Housing) and other decentralised departments. The overall objective is to enable the road infrastructure sector to contribute to improved conditions for national economic growth and equitable poverty reduction, by enhancing road infrastructure, in line with the PARP 2011-2014 (Poverty Eradication Plan) and aligned with the vision of Agenda 2025 of Mozambique. The project supports, in line with PRISE (Programa Integrado Sector Estradas), the establishment of an appropriate, well managed, cost-effective and sustainable road network in Mozambique that will enhance accessibility to markets and social services for the country's population.

 

Support and advice covers four main thematic areas:

1)     Develop a result-based and quality management structure within road entities.

2)     Introduce financial and contractual management tools that are maintained in line with PAO 2012-2014 (Plano de Acção e Orçamento) and of the PFM vision 2010-2015.

3)     Introduce multidimensional assessment and decision making processes on road infrastructure with a perspective of live cycle management of road assets;

4)     Provide ad hoc short term advice related to implementation of the PRISE program.
