Developing Road Network
Growth, service delivery improvement and generation of productive employment are critical for poverty reduction. Road infrastructure is a catalyst for generating economic activity, employment, growth and providing better integration. It is thus an important element of the Government’s poverty reduction strategy.A number of actions have been initiated, which include the preparation of a new integrated transport policy and strategy.

7Developing Road NetworkClear development priorities have been articulated for the development of the National Highways Network. The development strategy is to :
Augment the highway networkModernize its maintenanceToll regimesustainable maintenance needs through Road Maintenance Account Enforce strict traffic laws and axle load limits to ensure smooth and safe movement of passengers and goods and preserve the highway infrastructure.Facilitate trade (local, national, regional and international) to ensure meaningful reduction in poverty.

Transport Sector in Pakistan
Pakistan has an area of 803,950 Sq-Km and a population of around 140 Million. Share of transport sector in the GDP is about 10%Transport sector employs 2 million people (5% of total employed persons).Over 90 % passengers and goods are carried by roads mode of transport.Only National Highways carry about 80 % of the country’s freight and passenger traffic

Role of Roads Development in Poverty Alleviation
It is well accepted that sustainable economic growth leads to alleviation of poverty. Development of Motorways and Improvement of National highways is a strategy to achieve sustained economic growth.Investment in the mega road projects generates income-earning opportunities for the poor by creating jobs for un-employed in construction and maintenance of roads.Under the Poverty Reduction Strategy of Pakistan, there is a need to conduct in-depth studies for assessing the Impact of Motorways, Highways and Roads on Poverty Alleviation in quantified terms.

Role of Roads Development in Poverty Alleviation
Increased accessibility at tertiary level leads to
increased well being through facilitating higher

Developing the National Highway Network
National Highway Authority (NHA) has been tasked to take up the role of a service provider and not just a road builder.
Till recently, it used to implement programs of construction, development and maintenance of federal roads.
The true impact of significant financial inputs being put in the road sector will be felt once the new role is completely adopted by NHA.

National Highways – Present Condition Present asset replacement value of National Highways exceeds Rs 600 Billion. This amount represents largest single asset investment in Pakistan.
With growth in traffic volume and Axle Load levels, modal shift from rail to road and inadequate maintenance, this precious asset investment is deteriorating at an alarming rate.
Pavement condition surveys show that 50% of the existing National Highway Network is in need of major rehabilitation or reconstruction.
Remaining 50% might be lost in the near future if adequate maintenance and rehabilitation actions are not taken in a timelyand effective manner.

Maintenance Needs
Rs 3 Billion per year needed to keep the network in
the present condition
Rs 35 Billion required over the next 5 years (Rs 7
Billion per year) to improve the network to
maintainable standards
This investment will results in Vehicle Operating
Cost (VOC) saving up to Rs 35 - 40 Billion per year
National Highway Improvement Program (NHIP)
Through World Bank’s assistance, it is planned to rehabilitate, resurface, upgrade and improve 2700 km of the road network
NHIP is aimed to achieve a sustainable delivery of a productive and efficient national highway system thereby lowering transportation and operating costs

23Dividends of Roads Sector The roads development strategy will significantly enhance the low density of roads in Pakistan.Given the strong agrarian base of Pakistan, an increased road density will open good earning opportunities for farmers by enabling them to fetch better prices for their produce.Continued expansion of roads and their due maintenance will provide employment opportunities which would also help in poverty reduction.Roads sector development plan, with good absorption capacity will enhance the overall development effort of the country and thus contribute significantly to sustained economic growth.
