The Road Development Agency

The Road Development Agency is a statutory Institution created through the Public Roads Act No. 12 of 2002 to provide for the care, maintenance and construction of public roads in Zambia.

The RDA became fully functional in 2006 and is governed by a 16 member Board of Directors drawn from various stakeholder organisations such as the National Council for Construction, Zambia National Farmers Union, Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics and Government Ministries. Other than the Road Development Agency, there are two other road sector agencies namely, National Road Fund Agency and Road Transport and Safety Agency. The National Road Fund Agency is responsible for managing and administering the road fund. The Road Transport and Safety Agency on the other hand is responsible for the Road Safety aspect and licensing.

Some of the objectives of the Road Development Agency are to:

  • Carry out routine and emergency maintenance of
    public roads through its employees or independent
    contractors.

  • Recommend to the Minister of Works and Supply
    the appointment of any person or institution as a
    road authority.

  • In consultation with the Road Fund Agency,
    recommend to the Minister funding for development
    of new roads.

  • In consultation with the Road Fund Agency,
    recommend to the Minister funding for development
    of new roads.

  • Review design standards and classification of road
    and traffic signs.

  • Make recommendations in relation to the sitting of
    buildings on roads-sides.
