Governance Excellence

Three pillars supporting organizational integrity and strategic direction

Board Leadership

The Board is the main governing body of the Roads Authority (RA). It sets the organisation’s long-term strategy, oversees finances, and ensures the RA follows laws and policies. The Board is appointed by the Minister of Works and Transport and consists of seven independent non-executive directors, including the Chairperson.

Committees

The Roads Authority (RA) has a governance structure made up of the Board of Directors and three sub-committees: the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, the Human Capital Committee, and the Roads Network Strategy and Projects Committee. These committees support the Board in its work. Each committee usually meets four times a year and follows its Terms of Reference, which are reviewed annually.
