Implementation Status and Key Decisions
Implementation rate is overall on track and there are no outstanding decisions. Rehabilitation of Lusaka - Kafue Road had been completed and
Mufuchani Bridge construction was advancing well, with the main structural elements (foundations, piers, and deck) in place. All the available funds
under the US$ 75 million credit had either been disbursed or committed. The period between now and the credit closing date (April 30, 2016) is
considered sufficient to complete the most of the outstanding activities. The two notable subcomponents under Capacity Building that continue to
experience delays are the Accident Information System under RTSA, and review of the Transport sector policy under the Ministry of Transport.

Comments
The indicator had previously been based on the condition of Lusaka- Chirundu Road. This has been corrected. Based on RDA's
2013 road condition survey, out of the 29,088 km of Trunk, Main, District, Urban and Primary Feeder roads assessed, 18,939 km or
65% of the surveyed length, were in Good and Fair condition. This proportion is adopted as a reasonable indicators of the
condition of the entire road network of 67,631 km. The indicator will be updated after RDA’s 2014 condition survey, but it is
unlikely to reach the 80% target. It is to be noted that the project did not directly support the improvement of the road network
condition.

The target has been exceeded i.e. the fatalities are lower than the target. The update of 802 road fatalities in Lusaka and
Copperbelt provinces is taken from the Zambia Police Service 2014 Annual Traffic Accident Report found at
http://zambianroadsafety.org/zambia-police-2014-annual-traffic-accidnet/. The report records fatalities in Lusaka as 447 and those
in Copperbelt as 355

At project restructuring in May 2014, the End Target was revised from 10 to 6 small bridges in view of the reduction of supported
districts from 5 to 3. The original five districts were Chibombo, Mpongwe, Zambezi, Kalabo and Sinazongwe. The last two are
funded by GRZ. The reduction in actual number reflects the work in the three districts of Chibombo, Mpongwe, and Zambezi. The
final numbers will be provided after receipt of the completion report. The wording of the indicator was also changed to reflect that
only three of the original five districts were being supported by the Bank.

Implementation of the school park was delayed by lack of an appropriate property in Lusaka. It has not yet commenced. RTSA was still
procuring the consultancy services. The plan is to complete the works by March 31, 2016. Furthermore, the credit would only fund a portion
of the school facility.

All the 12 actions listed in the Road Sector Governance Plan have been accomplished. Regarding the involvement of local communities in
the supervision of RDA projects, RDA chose to involved the local media instead. RDA's 2013 Annual Report states that "Thirteen media
tours were conducted during the year under review. Media institutions that took part in the media tours included Zambia National
Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC), Muvi Television, Prime Television, Radio Phoenix, Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail, The Post

RDA has a procurement department that prepares procurement plans and follows procedures and guidelines set in RDA legislation and
guidleines as well as ZPPA Act. This is confirmed in the 2013 Annual Report at http://www.rda.org.zm/index.php/reports/annual-reports

Comments
The project supported the design of two weighbridges but due to shortage of funds it will finance the construction of only one - Chongwe
Weighbridge in Eastern Province, as reflected in the Project Restricting Paper of May 16, 2014. RDA had undertaken to fund
the construction of the other weighbridge and therefore the target of 100,000 trucks was maintained. Work on Chongwe weighbridge is still
ongoing with the target completion date of January 31, 2016. RDA funded weighbridge is unlikely to be completed by project closing
date. After completion of Chongwe weighbridge, it expected that half of the initial axle load checks i.e. 50,000 trucks will be fully met.

The target has been exceeded. The "current" number of 31.00 deaths per 10,000 vehicles is derived from the Zambia Police
Service 2014 Annual Traffic Accident Report found at http://zambianroadsafety.org/zambia-police-2014-annual-traffic-accidnet/ .
The report provides the total number of registered vehicles in Zambia as 605,636 and the total fatalities for 2014 as 1,858.
