Quality systems can be tailored to suit the place of a road agency in the restructuring of the road sector. Systems need not be onerous.

Efficient allocation of financial and budgetary resources Techniques are being developed constantly across the world to secure an adequate supply of funds for the road sector and improve the value achieved from them.

These issues are as important in developing countries as in developed countries. Studies should include consideration of their particular circumstances.
