Assessment of Development Objective and Design, and of Quality at Entry 3.1 Original Objective: 3.1.1 Preamble Mali began its adjustment effort in 1988 and has since implemented a wide range of economic reforms aiming at liberalization of the regulatory framework and increased competition in the transport industry. To bring the transport sector in line with the Government's macro-economic adjustment reforms, the then Ministry of Equipment and Housing (Ministère de l'Equipement et de l'Habitat) decided in early 1991 to set up a Transport Sector Committee (TSC) which brought together all the sector's operators, public and private, in a first-ever attempt to bring a participatory approach in identifying key sectoral problems and developing solutions. The TSC prepared a draft Declaration of General Transport Sector Policy (DGTSP). DGTSP was fully discussed with IDA and formally adopted by Government on November 2, 1993. The Policy introduced fundamental changes in the sector objectives in five major areas. It pledged the Government’s commitment (a) to encourage competitiveness and give a bigger role to the private sector in the transport and public works industries; (b) to restructure public enterprises, particularly the public railways (Régie des Chemins de Fer du Mali, RCFM) and to replace force account works in the highway sector, including for road maintenance, with works by contract; (c) to use economic criteria in transport investment choices; (d) to give infrastructure maintenance the highest priority in resource allocation; and (e) to take more responsibility for rural roads, in particular, and the environment, in general. The new strategy was discussed fully in the Mali Transport Sector Memorandum (Report No. 12095-MLI, green cover issued in October, 1993). DGTSP next translated these general objectives into a series of more detailed sub-objectives, all geared towards a smooth operation of the sector and boosting its efficiency at all levels and over all sub-sectors: (a) raising the efficiency of the transport sector administration by redefining its functions and reorganizing and modernizing its services; (b) improving the efficiency of international transport corridors; (c) stepping up competition between land freight modes (rail and road); (d) absorbing the surplus capacity of the trucking industry; (e) restructuring public enterprises to upgrade their performance by making them fully commercially viable; (f) upgrading road maintenance by reorganizing its agencies and work methods and allocating adequate resources; (g) improving infrastructure cost recovery; (h) substantially increasing attention to rural transport; and (i) enhancing transport safety, particularly in passenger transport. To achieve these sub-objectives, DGTSP proposed a series of institutional, organizational, regulatory and financial measures and restructuring of public enterprises. All these measures were agreed upon by the Government and IDA. Thus, the Government approach in the transport sector was designed along the following lines: (a) Design of a transport sector program which places transport development in a policy-based, sector-wide framework developed by the Government and supported by all donors: Government and IDA cooperated closely in carrying out joint economic and sector work to analyze issues and devise action plans to restore sector efficiency. The Government then called a meeting of donors to discuss the strategy and solicit donors’ support to implement it over the next five-year period. (b) The necessity of implementing policy reforms through a coordinated investment Program: This kept the focus on the broad sectoral and development objectives, particularly where economic and financial ministries
