The RDA was established through an Act of Parlia-
ment, Public Roads Act No. 12 of 2002 to be re-
sponsible for the care, maintenance and construc-
tion of public roads in Zambia. The establishment of
the RDA was aimed at removing the fragmentation
and duplication in the planning and implementation
of road projects. A 16–member Board of directors
drawn from both the public and private sector man-
ages the RDA.
The Agency has seven Departments: Planning and
Design, Construction and Maintenance, Techni-
cal and Commercial Services, Corporate Services,
Finance, Audit and Procurement. The Agency also
maintains Regional Offices with on-sight engineers
in all of the nine provinces of Zambia.
Their strategic mission is to provide a core road net-
work and to ensure its maintenance in good condi-
tion as an integral piece of infrastructure required
for socio-economic growth in Zambia. Some of the
objectives of the Road Development Agency are to
carry out routine and emergency maintenance of
public roads through its employees or independent
contractors and review design standards and clas-
sification of road and traffic signs. They are also
charged with the responsibility of making recom-
mendations to the Minister of Works and Supply re-
garding the appointment of any person or institution
as a road authority, funding for development of new
roads, and in relation to the placement of buildings
on roads-sides.
“We want to see Zambia as a regional transporta-
tion hub. 8 countries surround us and we want all the
road connections to be established so that Zambia
can gain increased access to new markets.”

The Government of Zambia, through the RDA, has
begun the process of rehabilitating the road network
in the country that covers 38,763 km. A five and ten
year Sector Investment Programme, estimated at
US$411.9 million and US$860.3 million respectively,
has continued to generate interest and an impres-
sive support from the World Bank. The programme
ends in 2013 and outlines all of the objectives that
must be met in order to achieve a fully developed
core roads network. Many investment opportunities
exist within the Roads sector and the RDA acts as a
liaison between investors and road construction and
maintenance sector.
“My aspiration is that we have a functioning road
system that is well maintained and as a result con-
tributes very directly to the growth and development
of the economy. I strive to make sure that the RDA
is an institution that is efficient and effective with re-
gards to achieving its goals.”
