This study of the Kenyan road sub-sector has its genesis in a meeting of the stakeholders and development partners in May 2002 in Nairobi. It was agreed that future investments in roads must be considered holistically, taking into account the needs of the entire transport sector. The stakeholders determined that policy and strategy for the road sector should be prepared and that the Kenya Roads Board should take on the responsibility.

Objective:
Under-investment and misallocation of recurrent expenditure has reduced the condition of road network and undermined the confidence of the road user.

The objective of the study was to provide the decision-makers in the Kenya Government and the development partners with sufficient information to justify the acceptance, modification or rejection of the proposed Transport Sector Policy and Road Sub-sector Policy and Strategy.

Implementation:
The study was carried out between June and December 2003 by UK consultants Scott Wilson.
The output from the study is described in three volumes namely, 1) a main report and annexes covering analysis and recommendations, 2) the proposed road policy and strategy and 3) a review of the transport sector transport demand and traffic forecasts, general transport sector policy proposals. Reporting in three volumes reflects their different readerships
A key requirement of the roads policy is that it should be holistic – recognising its context in the transport sector as a whole.
