| description |
Border-crossing times in East Africa
have been identified as a major constraint for smooth trade
flows, both for regional trade and for international
transit. Delays at borders disrupt efficient trade
logistics, impacting on the transport costs and prices, and
ultimately on trade competitiveness. In order to improve the
efficiency of border crossings in East Africa, the East
Africa Community (EAC) has resolved to convert the main
border crossings into a Stop Border Post (OSBP), in which
all border agencies from the two sides of the border
coordinate their interventions, thus reducing documentation
processing time. This program is supported by several
multilateral and bilateral donors as component of their
assistance to regional integration in the EAC. The paper is
divided into four sections. The first section provides
background information on the Northern Corridor. The second
section presents the conclusions that can be drawn from the
survey, presented in the Northern Corridor context with the
key issues that will require further discussion among
stakeholders and further action. From a wider perspective,
this section also emphasizes the shift of relative
importance that should be attributed to the hard and the
soft agendas of border crossings based on the analysis of
the impact of the changes at the Malaba border post. |
