The Roads Fund Administration (RFA) of Malawi was established under the Roads Fund Administration Act of 2006 to ensure sustainable and efficient financing for road maintenance and development. RFA is tasked with collecting and managing road user charges, including fuel levies, toll fees, and transit charges, and disbursing funds to implementing agencies such as the Roads Authority. The goal is to create a dedicated funding stream that ensures timely maintenance and rehabilitation of Malawi’s road infrastructure.
RFA’s mission is to facilitate the provision of a safe, efficient, and sustainable road network by mobilizing and managing road maintenance resources effectively. By providing predictable financing, RFA helps reduce road deterioration, lowers vehicle operating costs, and supports economic development through improved connectivity. It also plays a critical role in promoting transparency and accountability in road sector financing.
