Obtaining sufficient funding for road infrastructure construction and maintenance remain a key challenge for roads authorities globally. In addition, likely there will be an impact of new propulsion techniques on funding that should be considered. One of the aim of Technical Committee 1.3 "Finance and Procurement" is to analyze traditional funding and financing options and explore for developing innovative and hybrid solutions, addressing especially the needs and circumstances of LMIC’s.

Other Technical Committees aim is to develop fundamental criteria that will govern procurement practices internationally through the evaluation of current processes and techniques. These overarching principles would form the basis of procurement guidelines for agencies. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
