Unless these two objectives are achieved, the prospects for substantial and continuing social and economic development in Kenya are limired. Large segments of Kenya's population will remain isolated in the rural areas, and the economy will continue as a producer of primary commodities and basic manufactues for domestic and perhaps regional consumption. The report states as the first and most important action to reverse the deterioration in the transport sector, a very major change in the philosophic approach of politicians to the sector is needed. They have to start to treat infrastructure as integral to the economic rather than the political process. Beyond this overarching change in approach, the following should also be considered as needed steps for implementing the strategy: increase private sector investment and management in the ports, airports, railways, and roads systems; reduce the role of the public sector in day-to-day management while retaining core functions for all modes of transportation and increasing public funding; and in terms of financing, rely on performance contracting under either maintenance concessions or long-term performance-based contracts.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICYROAD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSRAIL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSPORT MANAGEMENTAIR TRANSPORTPRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC ENTERPRISESPRIVATIZATION OF SERVICESROAD MAINTENANCE & REPAIRROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD FINANCEBUS TRANSPORTATIONPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONCONCESSIONROAD & HIGHWAY NETWORKSTRANSPORTATION SAFETYEXPORT PROMOTIONCOMPETITIVENESSROAD REHABILITATIONREGULATORY FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORKRESOURCES MOBILIZATION ACCESS ROADSACCOUNT MAINTENANCEACCOUNTABILITYAIR SAFETYAIR TRAFFICAIR TRAFFIC CONTROLAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT SECTORAIRLINESAIRPORTS AUTHORITYAIRSTRIPSAIRWAYSARTERIAL ROADSAUTHORITIESAVIATIONAXLESBUS COMPANIESBUS COMPANYBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICESCARGOCARRIAGEWAYSCARRIERSCEMENTCIVIL AVIATIONCIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITYCIVIL AVIATION INFRASTRUCTURECONCESSIONSCONGESTIONCONSTRUCTION WORKSCONTAINER HANDLINGCONTAINER TERMINALCONTAINER VESSELSCORRIDORCRANESDEBTDEREGULATIONDIRECT FLIGHTSDISTRICT ROADSDOMESTIC AIRPORTSDRAINAGEDRAINAGE STRUCTURESECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRICITYEMPLOYMENTEXPORTFINANCIAL STRUCTUREFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFREIGHT FORWARDERSFREIGHT FORWARDINGFREIGHT SERVICESFREIGHT TRAFFICFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELFUEL LEVYHANDLERSHANDLINGHUBINCOMEINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADELANDLORD PORTLIQUIDATIONLOCALLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CONTRACTORSMOBILITYNAVIGATIONNETWORKOPERATING SURPLUSPASSENGERPASSENGER SERVICEPASSENGER TERMINALPASSENGER TERMINALSPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGERSPAVEMENTPAVINGPENALTIESPORTSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE TOLL ROADSPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC OWNERSHIPPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC WORKSRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYSRANGERESOURCE MOBILIZATIONROADROAD ACCESSROAD CONDITIONSROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD FINANCINGROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD SECTORROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT INDUSTRYROAD USERSROADSROADWORKROUTEROUTESROUTINE ROAD MAINTENANCERUNWAYRURAL ROADSSAFETYSAFETY REGULATIONSSAFETY STANDARDSSECONDARY ROADSSECURITY OVERSIGHTSOCIAL SERVICESSPEEDSPREADINGSTRUCTURESSURCHARGESTERMINAL MANAGEMENTTRAFFICTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAINSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT NETWORKSTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT SYSTEMUNPAVED ROADSURBAN BUSURBAN ROADURBAN ROAD NETWORKURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLESWorld Bank10.1596/14626
