The Public Service Commission recognizes that a functional public road infrastructure system remains a key enabler to unlocking economic growth potential, increase competitiveness and productivity, whist equipping public services to meet demand. Furthermore, road infrastructure is considered a key component of the investment climate that reduces the cost of doing business and enabling people to engage in socio-economic activities.

Investment in public infrastructure has positive downstream multiplier effects on the rest of the economy, such that a dollar of investment in road infrastructure has a potential to generate increase in short-term employment and economic activity.
Beyond the short term, productivity gams to the overall economy are also going to be realized through utilization of local content in the construction of projects and increased participation of previously disadvantaged communities in the mainstream economy.
