In Mongolia, a large amount of work on repair and maintenance of roads are implemented every day for the funds from the state budget

and the Roads Investment Fund of Mongolia.

Ministry of Roads and Transport of Mongolia as a Client signs a contract with executing agencies, responsible for the roads, for repair and maintenance at the expense of

The Road Fund for a period of one year on the repair and maintenance of roads based on the outputs.

11

-Effective use of funds

-Increasing the liability of the executors

-Timely planning

-Timely implementation of the maintenance works

12

Lack of funds to do the all volume of works on repair

Works on repair of roads are not completed within

the required standard period

Too many steps to get financing and it requires a

long time to go through

13

Issues Actual works on road maintenance are not

included into the planning

Works on repair of roads are not completed within the required standard period

The introduction of modern internationally used technologies and techniques are very slow.

Measures Establishment of research centers and

road inspection institutions will allow to improve planning on the basis of surveys.

International projects should be set as priority direction with findings on infrastructure and which would lead to the annual increase of budgets for roads maintenance.

The development of our mining ore industry would attract more foreign investors .

The establishment of roads companies and organizations responsible for every 100-150km would be responsible for the road maintenance as well.
