Building Engineering Capacity for the Rural Transport Sector in Africa

This report highlights the challenges and practical measures needed to develop professional engineering capacity in the rural road sector in Africa. It discusses topics such as manpower constraints, effectiveness of current approaches, corruption, professionalism, and building research capacity. The report also proposes an action plan to address these concerns, including maintaining dialogue on capacity development, interacting with national capacity assessment processes, disseminating information on successful case studies, and re-energizing research and higher education networks in sub-Saharan Africa.

  2. Workshop Aims & Objectives • A discussion on the issues facing the development of professional engineering capacity in the rural road sector in Africa. • The workshop will agree practical measures that should be taken address these concerns.

  3. Workshop Aims & Objectives The workshop discussion will be held under four broad topics • Assessment of current manpower capacity constraints in the sector • Review of the effectiveness of current approaches and models used to develop engineering capacity and professionalism, • Corruption, professionalism and the Engineer • Building of research capacity in Africa for rural transport and rural road engineering.

  4. Questions for Discussion • Do we have an assessment of capacity? • Where are the capacity gaps? • What lessons should we take from previous efforts and initiatives to develop capacity? • What are the challenges for developing capacity in the future?

  5. Action Plan • Develop and maintain dialogue on capacity development in rural transport. • Interact with ongoing national capacity assessment processes across Africa. • Disseminate information on case studies of successful capacity development. • Re-energise research and higher education networks in sub-Saharan Africa
