| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses the relationship between road transport infrastructure and regional
integration specifically, within the East African Community and how this relation enhances
economic growth and development in the region. The notion is that, improved road transport
infrastructure hugely contributes to regional integration and hence enhances economic growth
and development. Governments in the region should strive to ensure that integration works as a
means to achieve their development objectives. In so doing, this will facilitate movement of
goods and services across borders with subsequent related benefits. The study gives informed
recommendations that are aimed at addressing challenges facing road transport infrastructure.
The study looked into the theoretical aspects of road transport infrastructure in a regional
integration context. The recommendations illuminate the need to develop a common road
transport policy and an effective monitoring and evaluation system to accelerate regional
integration efforts | en_US |
