The Road Development Agency

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
