Enhancing Road Network Resilience Through Road Maintenance
For many developing member countries (DMCs), a greater focus on road networks’ routine maintenance activities would likely deliver a higher return on investment than significant investment in new infrastructure. Many road networks are not resilient to today’s climatic conditions due to a lack of focus on essential management and maintenance activities.
This webinar discussed practical actions that can be implemented into road projects to enhance road networks' resilience, whether through force accounts or outsourced contract models. The speakers—with extensive international experience and co-authored technical guides on road management and maintenance and climate resilience and adaptation initiatives—will examine the issue from both the management and practitioner aspects in this session.
