Cumbersome transit and customs
procedures hinder trade and economic development. Ghana has
modified several features of its transit system as part of
efforts to improve road-based trade in West Africa. Since
2006 the country's transit reforms have cut the time to
process and transport goods crossing the country from five
to three days, significantly lowering transport costs.
Applying lessons from Ghana could catalyze broader transit
reforms in West Africa and other developing regions. |
