About Us
Our Business Model
(2024 - 2029)
Strategic Overview
The RFA’s business model is designed to ensure the safety, sustainability, and economic efficiency of Namibia’s road network, valued at more than N$151 billion. The model is anchored in the effective collection and management of national Road User Charges (RUCs), which are allocated to the Roads Authority (RA) and other Approved Authorities (AAs) for road development, rehabilitation, upgrading, and maintenance.
This value-driven framework ensures that infrastructure investments are transparent, performance-based, and aligned with national development priorities, while contributing to environmental stewardship, social inclusivity, and sound governance principles.
Both contributors to RUCs and beneficiaries of infrastructure investment are integral to sustaining a resilient, world-class road network that supports economic growth and regional competitiveness.
