o Coordinated operating strategy, marketing and development vision by all the project partners/shareholders/stakeholders. o There is executive control – management must be able to take immediate action when stakeholder performance fails, or to react to unforeseen circumstances.

Title: Sustainable Asset Management System in the Context of the Namibian Road Sector Reform - A Model for Africa & Beyond Author & Presenter: Sophia - Belete Tekie (pictured), RMS Manager, Roads Authority of Namibia This paper looked at how the Road Management System (RMS) of Namibia Roads Authority was developed and is being used in contributing to the management of the road network in the context of the Road Sector reform. It also covers some experiences gained from the World Bank programme HDM-4 in the strategic output. The presenter states that a well developed RMS can assist Road Fund institutions and Road Agencies/ Authorities to make the right decisions when it comes to determining the level of funding and the various projects that needs to be attended to by flagging potential projects. Highlights of the presentation: • Use of an RMS is a requirement stipulated in legislation that established the Namibia Roads Authority. • The RMS integrates various sub-systems such as Pavement Management Systems, Bridge Management Systems etc. It has one database, which avoids duplication of efforts and money to get data under stand-alone systems. • By having different funding scenarios, the system can project into the future, effects on road condition, backlog maintenance, and remaining structural life of roads. This is very useful information for decision makers.
