In accordance with the Roads Authority Act (Act 17 of
199) the Roads Authority was given the mandate to de-
velop and preserve the national road network with a view
to attaining a safe and efficient roads sub-sector. The
purpose is to support the national, social and economic
development agenda. Road transport is the dominant
mode of transport for goods and people and the condi-
tion of roads, affect all sectors of the economy and every
inhabitant of this vast country. Constructing new roads
for providing access and for enabling trade and other
economic activities, upgrading existing roads to higher
standards to reduce transport costs, travel times and ac-
cidents and improve the competitiveness of Namibia’s
economy are activities that all require large financial re-
sources.
Over the past years, the RA has implemented important
road development programmes as part of the Harambee
Prosperity Plan. Progress on most of these projects has
been affected by timely flow of funding to these projects
which will delay completion.
The RA must maintain all sections of some 43,000 km
of the road network to the required standards with the
view to preserving the asset and in so doing minimising
the cost of road transport to the economy. The financial
resources allocated to the RA for achieving this objec-
tive have been below requirements in the past years. It is
anticipated that this will improve in the coming five-year
period.

This Business and Financial Plan for the five-year period
2019 to 2024 is the result of a long and tedious process
and I acknowledge the excellent work from all those in-
volved within the RA and the support received from the
Road Fund Administration, the Ministry of Works and
Transport and the Ministry of Finance. By the nature of
the RA mandate, our achievements are critically depen-
dent on the financial resources that we receive and this
reflects on most of our key performance indicators of our
Strategic Plan.
Considering the overall economic environment of the
country, we have to recognise that the resources allocat-
ed in this budget reflects Government continued support
to the development of the roads sub-sector and the RA
mandate. We shall therefore endeavour to make the best
use of these resources through innovative approaches
and implement all projects and programmes funded in
this Business and Financing Plan.

Chapter 1: Roads Authority Business Plan
1.1 MandateThe Roads Authority was established as a juristic person according to the Roads Authority Act (Act 17 of 1999),
with the statutory objective: “To manage the national road network of Namibia and to provide for matters incidental
thereto.”
The Roads Authority Act (Act 17 of 1999) assigns the RA with the responsibility of managing the national road net-
work with a view of attaining a safe and efficient roads sub-sector in Namibia. The mandate requires sufficient finan-
cial resources for undertaking the various activities needed for the development and preservation of the road network
including preparing master plans and feasibility studies, operating road management systems, implementing road
construction and rehabilitation projects, carrying out routine and periodic maintenance of all paved and unpaved
roads. The Authority must also control the movement of heavy vehicles for preventing the damage of roads and
bridges due to excessive loads and manage the Namibia traffic information system as assigned by the Ministry of
Works and Transport. The latter is also mandated with the collection of certain road user charges that include Vehicle
Registration and Licensing Fees on behalf of the Road Fund Administration (RFA) as legislated in the RFA Act ,1999
(Act 18 of 1999).
The RA manages a road network of 48,327.53 kilometres, comprising paved bitumen roads, gravel roads, salt roads,
earth graded roads and earth tracks.
1.2 Corporate VisionA sustainable road sector which is ahead of national and regional socio-economic needs in pursuit of Namibia’s Vision
2030.
1.3 Mission Statement

employees, at all levels of the organisation, to uphold ethical principles and shall be held
accountable for their decisions and actions.
DedicationWe are committed to work together as a team in our quest to deliver on our mandate,
irrespective of the many obstacles we might face. We will always support one another
and never give up.

Chapter 2: Financial Plan
2.1 Introduction
This five-year Roads Authority Budget covering the financial years 2019/20 to 2023/24 is presented to the Road Fund
Administration (RFA) in accordance with subsections 20(1) and 20(2) of the Road Fund Administration Act, 1999 (Act
18 of 1999). The budget has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Roads Authority and the Board of Direc-
tors of the Road Fund Administration (see Appendix A) in terms of the provision of the Roads Authority Act, Act 17
of 1999 and by Government through the Ministry of Finance.
The preparation of the budget was guided by the following key planning documents: The Roads Authority Strategic
Plan 2018/19 – 2022/23 and the Medium to Long Term Road Master Plan (MLTRMP) (2012 revision). The Strategic
Plan defines targets to be achieved against the Authority’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as set by the Ministry
of Works and Transport and which are aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP5).
The preparation of the budget was further guided by the amount of funding that the RFA could allocate to the Au-
thority (See Appendix B) together with resources anticipated from Government and Development Partners. The
amount of funding allocated for the administration and operations of the Authority impacts on the achievements
against most of the indicators of the Strategic Plan.
2.2 Analysis Of Budget2.2.1 The Current Budget Cycle 2019/20 to 2023/24
The five-year budget of the Roads Authority is a rolling budget reviewed and updated annually. Budget commitment
and approval is limited to the current financial year 2019/20 while budgets for the ensuing financial years are indica-
tive pending future review and approval. Table 1 presents the five-year budget cycle for financial years 2019/20 to
2023/24 and the total for the 5 years. Table 2 and Figure 1 compare the total budget per financial year in the current
budget cycle to the previous cycle which covered the financial years 2018/19 to 2022/23. The comparison shows that
the 2019/20 budget is at 83.5% of the amount that was anticipated in the previous cycle. For the ensuing years, the
2020/21 is at 98.5, the 2021/22 exceeds the anticipated level at 105.4% while the 2022/23 is lower at 88.6% of the
budget anticipated in the previous cycle. The five-year total for the current cycle is N$19,189 million comparable to the
N$19,875 million of the previous cycle (96.6%).

2.2.2 The Budget for FY 2019/20 Compared to FY 2018/19
Table 3 compares the current financial year budget to the budget of the just completed 2018/19 financial year. The
analysis considers the two main budgetary allocations: the operations budget and the administration budget. The
operations budget provides for expenditure on activities performed for the management of the road network and
assigned functions. The administration budget covers for the functioning of the Authority as an organisation and as
such, the budget amount is not directly related to the scope of work performed for the management of the road net-
work and assigned functions.
The comparison shows an improvement with a slight increase of the total budget by 2.6% as compared to the previ-
ous financial year total budget. The operations budget increases by 5.8% while the administration budget reduces
by 14%. The 5.8% increase in the operations budget is driven by the construction and rehabilitation while other areas
record changes equal or below 5% with NP&C registering a budget reduction of 4%.

2.2.3 Distribution of the 2019/20 Operations Budget
Table 4 and Figure 2 present the distribution of the 2019/20 operations budget to the six operations areas in terms of
the management of the road network and implementation of assigned functions. The allocation for Maintenance ab-
sorbs 38.57% of the operations budget while Construction and Rehabilitation is allocated 57.78% of the budget. These
two largest recipients represent together 96.34% of the RA operations budget. The remaining is shared by Network
Planning and Consultation: 0.87%, Road Management Systems: 0.92%, Transport Information and Agents: 1.52% and
Road Transport Inspection Services: 0.34%.

2.2.4 Sources of Funds for the Budget
Funding for the Roads Authority budget is sourced from the road user charging system (RUCS) managed by the
Road Fund Administration and from the Government through the state revenue fund and loans and grants sourced by
Government from cooperating partners. For FY 2019/20 the RFA will contribute 56.9% of funds against 42.8% from
Government. However, for the total of the 5 years’ budget cycle the Government contribution reduces to 21.4%. This
is shown in Table 5.

3.1 The Budget and the MLTRM Targets
The Medium to Long Term Roads Master Plan (MLTRMP) of 2012 defines funding targets for the management of the
road network for the period 2016 – 2030 which can be used to benchmark the current budget. The assessment pre-
sented in Table 7 indicates the following:
• The 2019/20 budget allocation for road maintenance activities including routine, reseal and gravelling is at 84.2%
of the level recommended by the MLTRMP as compared to 89% for the 2018/19 budget.
• The budget allocation for the rehabilitation of paved roads stands at 59% of the MLTRMP target indicating less
emphasis on preservation.
• For the rehabilitation of bridges, the budget is at 119% of the target. However, the budget does not include any al-
location for the maintenance and repair of bridges despite the recommended MLTRMP minimum of N$10 million.
• The 2019/20 budget allocation for the upgrading to paved roads standards excluding the Windhoek-Okahandja
road largely exceeds the target of the Master Plan at 1,046%. This is mostly due to the implementation of the large
projects under the Harambee Prosperity Plan.
• The 2019/20 budget allocation for the construction of new gravel roads is at 31% of the MLTRMP target.
Overall, the 2019/20 operations budget exceeds by 43% the MLTRMP target. In this comparison there is need to stress
that the MLTRMP targets date from 2012 and have not yet been updated to reflect changes in the road network and
the cost of undertaking preservation and development works. It should be recognized in particular that although rou-
tine maintenance has a slightly high achievement, the significant road development programmes of upgrading gravel
roads to bitumen standard that have been implemented in recent years will impact on the need for preservation and
therefore on target budgets for maintenance.

Preservation Versus Development Table 8 compares the 2018/19 budget to the MLTRMP targets in terms of road pres-
ervation and road development. The comparison shows that the budget for development is N$1,474 million against
N$1,401.6 million for preservation. The amount for preservation is basically similar to that of the master plan however
there is greater emphasis on road development. This reflects the national strategy of developing the transport infra-
structure to improve the competitiveness of Namibia in the southern Africa region.

3.2 The Budget and the Strategic Plan Indicators and Targets
The Roads Authority’s Strategic Plan includes key performance indicators and targets that the Authority must achieve.
The amount of funding has a direct impact on some of the key performance indicators adopted in the strategic plan.
Table 9 indicates those indicators and the targets assigned by the Strategic Plan.
Table 9: RA Strategic Plan Key Performance Indicators and Targets

% Surfaced roads in unacceptable condition 7% 10%
% Gravel roads in unacceptable condition 46% 40%

3.3 Estimated Impact of the 2019/20 Budget
The above indicators are measurable physical achievements which will be evaluated at the end of the financial year.
For estimating the impact of the 2019/20 budget allocations, reference is made to the achievements of the previous
financial year 2018/19. Comparing the respective budgets provides an assessment of the likely impact on the achieve-
ment of the Strategic Plan target for 2019/20.
It is understood that besides the budget, the annual physical output can be influenced by other factors such as the
intensity and period of rainfall, the tendering process and response of the contractors and the actual performance of
contractors and suppliers of the construction industry on awarded contracts. Furthermore, the timeframe for imple-
mentation of road projects generally exceeds one year. Therefore, achievements of the year depend to a certain ex-
tent on the achievements of the previous years.

Table 10 presents the results of the assessment for the key performance indicators by identifying the associated bud-
get items and comparing budget amounts for 2018/19 and 2019/20 and achievements reported for 2018/19.

Overall based on the budget allocations it is anticipated that the achievements of 2019/20 financial year will be similar
to those of the previous financial year 2018/19. Below target achievements can be expected for indicators measuring
the condition of unpaved and paved roads as the budgets for maintenance have not increased significantly over the
years and the 2019/20 budget allocation remaining in the same order of magnitude.
