“Quality of road infrastructure and development in Africa”
In 2024, the Inaugural Conference focuses on the crucial importance of high-quality road networks in Africa to promote the economic, social and sustainable development of the continent. In Africa, road infrastructure plays a vital role in connecting regions, facilitating internal and international trade, improving access to essential services such as health and education, and driving economic growth.
The quality of road infrastructure in Africa is often a determining factor in economic competitiveness, poverty reduction and improving the quality of life of citizens. Well-built, maintained, and durable roads have the potential to boost industrialization, encourage foreign investment, create jobs, and strengthen regional integration.
However, Africa faces various challenges related to the quality of road infrastructure, such as lack of adequate financing, poor management, environmental and climatic constraints…, as well as issues related to sustainability and resilience. To achieve its full development potential, Africa must address these challenges by investing in quality road construction and renovation projects, promoting sustainable practices, and fostering technological innovation.
The central theme thus presented is broken down into several sub-themes which are as follows.
Technology and Innovation
2. The use of technology to monitor and improve road quality.
3. The integration of connectivity and communication into road infrastructure.
4. The deployment of Intelligent Transport systems
