Against the Regional Integration background, the Program is focusing on raising awareness among national and regional policymakers about the need to bring transport costs down in Sub-Saharan Africa, and how effective policies can be worked out to address this issue. This will be achieved through design and implementation of systematic regional/corridor data collection and management systems, making it possible to produce and disseminate reliable statistics on cost-efficiency of transport services along major regional corridors and for main traded commodities. Identification of recurrent bottlenecks, be it administrative, regulatory, informal or due to infrastructure shortcomings, will then lead to the elaboration of corresponding action plans that the Program will help implement in the following stages.
