To address these issues, the African Road Maintenance Fund Association (ARMFA) held its 20^th General Assembly on 3-6 April 2023 in Maputo, Mozambique under the theme “Aligning Sustainable Financing to the Needs of the Road Sector in Africa”. The meeting was opened by Mozambique’s President, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, IRF Director General, Susanna Zammataro and other members representing the association’s 35 African country member states as well as international guests.

The meeting provided an exchange space to discuss the current challenges road fund entities and the sector are facing and called for innovative thinking in order to develop new measures that will help look at the future with more confidence and effectiveness in the field of funding. A key message that was brought up throughout the meeting was the importance of increasing collaboration between the government, public and private entities and other development partners.
