Abstract
Building upon the transport governance
filter developed by the Europe and Central Asia (ECA)
transport team, which identified several thematic principles
and actionable indicators on the governance of the transport
sector at large, this paper seeks to assess the overall
governance performance of the road sector as well as the
concrete issues that road administrations should address in
order to improve sector governance. A pilot survey was
conducted in Armenia and Kazakhstan, in which road sector
stakeholders were asked to evaluate more than seventy
questions structured along four governance dimensions: (i)
transparency, disclosure and accountability of the road
agency; (ii) transparent and accessible procurement
processes; (iii) financial management system; and (iv)
administrative procedures and anticorruption effort. This
report starts with an overview of the existing approaches to
governance and corruption with a particular focus on the
road sector. It then outlines the methodological framework
developed under the study to assess the governance
challenges facing the road sector, and report the governance
challenges in Armenia and Kazakhstan using the methodology
developed. The report will conclude with an assessment of
the strengths and weaknesses of the methodological approach
used and concrete suggestions to strengthen governance in
the road sector of Armenia and Kazakhstan.
