Abstract:

Roads are essential for regional integration, economic growth, social development, effective public administration and security. The Court examined whether the EDF has contributed to the sustainability of the road network in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Court concludes that the Commission is partially effective in promoting the adoption and implementation by partner countries of the policy reforms that are required to address the existing obstacle to a sustainable road network.

The Court makes recommendations that aim at focusing EDF funding where it can have the greatest impact and improving the way the Commission uses conditionality, policy dialogue and technical cooperation.
