In the case of road maintenance microenterprises, a lot of capacity building and organisational strengthening is involved. First an analysis is made of existing regulations and processes, including the responsibility for the road network, procurement legislation, funding availability and use, and legislation related to the creation and operation of organizational modalities. Based on the existing regulatory context, a system is developed for the procurement, remuneration, supervision and inspection of the maintenance microenterprises. Where a suitable system cannot be developed due to regulatory obstacles, recommendations are made to amend the related
policies and legislation.
Generally guides for the contracting agencies as well as manuals for the small-scale contractors or community-based groups that implement the maintenance, are developed to clearly explain the new system. Training is provided regarding technical issues and general management of the system or microenterprise. Monitoring and further capacity building is provided during the initial implementation to avoid any bottlenecks.
