This pillar brief introduces the newly launched Resilient Road Asset Management (RRAM) thematic area, the fourth pillar of the SSATP's Fourth Development Plan (DP4, 2022-2026). RRAM aims to help African countries move from reactive maintenance to proactive, climate-resilient road asset management. Focusing on four priority areas—climate risk integration, rural accessibility, institutional strengthening, and digital innovation—RRAM supports governments in building transport systems that are more durable, inclusive, and responsive to future challenges. By promoting smarter investments and stronger institutions, RRAM is laying the groundwork for road networks that can sustain growth, safeguard communities, and adapt to a changing climate.
