The World Bank released in January a report-book about Africa's infrastructure: Africa's Transport Infrastructure Mainstreaming Maintenance and Management.One of the most important conclusions that the report identifies is the existence of three important inefficiencies in the financing arrangements, which, if addressed, could reduce the funding deficit. These are:

• the undercollection of fees from users,
• the underexecution of allocated investment funding, and
• the underallocation of resources to routine and periodic maintenance
