Collective action on investment is needed to raise the quality of the African road network. This was one of the recommendations at the official opening ceremony of the 21st General Assembly of the Association of African Road Maintenance Funds (AFERA) that took place Monday in Abidjan the Ivorian capital. The event with the theme “Towards sustainable financing of road funds for better maintenance of the African road network”, was presided over by the Ivorian Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé. ''It's to have a positioning that allows all African countries to have at least one road maintenance fund that meets the standards. With an investment of over 5 million dollars for a linear road network of 82,000 km, Ivory Coast was described as one of the African countries with a vast road network.
