Pakistan’s 265;000 km road network consists of 12;500 km of national highways; motorways; and strategic roads; and 95;000 km of provincial roads; with the remainder classified as either district or urban roads. The national highway network; which is less than 5 percent of the total road network; caters to 80 percent of the country’s commercial traffic. These agencies need to be transformed into corporatized entities; enabling them to secure funding; improve planning; institutionalize asset management; increase implementation capacity; and access capital markets. While some of the building blocks for this transformation have been achieved by these agencies through prior assistance from other donor agencies; considerable gaps remain in institutionalizing road asset management systems in all provinces. The National Highway Authority (NHA) is responsible for national highways; including access-controlled motorways and expressways. At the same time; respective provinces have their road agencies; which are responsible for district; inter- and intra-provincial roads. The World Bank’s Transport team under its Program “Resilient Transport in Pakistan” aims to assist road agencies in moving towards sustainability and improve their capacity for road maintenance through institutional reforms; financial sustainability; improving planning; implementation capacity; and road safety. The program is primarily funded by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and other resources
