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 AIR CARGOAIR SERVICEAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT REGULATIONAIRLINEAIRPORTSAIRPORTS AUTHORITYAIRWAYSBLACK SPOTBLACK SPOTSBRIDGEBUSBUS SERVICESBUSESCARSCIVIL AVIATIONCOMMERCIAL FREIGHTCONCESSION FEESCONCESSIONAIRECONCESSIONSCONGESTIONCONSTRUCTIONCONTAINER TERMINALCORRIDORDAILY TRAFFICDEATHSDISTRICT ROADSDOMESTIC AIR SERVICESDRIVER LICENSESEARTH ROADSENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONSEROSIONFATALITIESFOOTPATHSFOREIGN AIRLINESFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFREIGHT TRAFFICFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL LEVYFUEL LEVY FUNDINGGARAGESGRAVELGRAVEL ROADSHEAVY VEHICLESHIGHWAYSINJURIESLOCAL AUTHORITIESMAIN ROADSMAINTENANCE RESOURCESMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNATIONAL ROADSPASSENGERPASSENGER SERVICEPASSENGERSPEDESTRIANSPERIODIC MAINTENANCEPOLICEPOTHOLESPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONRAIL TRANSPORTRAILWAYSRANGEREGIONAL AIRLINESRESTRICTIONSROAD ACCIDENTSROAD ACCIDENTSROAD AGENCIESROAD CONDITIONSROAD DAMAGEROAD DEATHSROAD FINANCINGROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MANAGEMENTROAD MARKINGROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD REHABILITATIONROAD SAFETYROAD SECTORROAD TOLLSROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT INDUSTRYROAD USERSROADSROADSROADWORKROUTEROUTINE MAINTENANCERURAL ROADSSAFETY AGENCYSAFETY AUDITSSAFETY PROGRAMSERVICESMART CARDSSPEEDSTRUCTURESTOLLSTOWNSTRAFFICTRAFFIC DISTRIBUTIONTRAFFIC EDUCATIONTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC LAWSTRAFFIC REGULATIONSTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAINSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT SECTORTRUCKSUNPAVED ROADSURBAN AREASURBAN NETWORKURBAN PASSENGERURBAN ROADURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTUSER COSTSVEHICLEVEHICLE INSPECTIONVEHICLE OPERATING COSTSVEHICLESWorld Bank10.1596/14627
