| Summary: | This document has been produced by the
World Bank to support the Government of Guatemala as it
improves its transport and logistics sector management in
pursuit of enhanced country competitiveness. It identifies
and defines elements of a National Transport and Logistics
Strategy (NTLS) through the development of a methodology
which analyzes bottlenecks and related costs along the main
logistics corridors. It does so with a view to (a)
mobilizing support in the trading community (essentially
private sector) for logistic service improvements, (b)
identifying the need for broader public-sector reforms in
transport which indirectly impact logistics performance, and
(c) helping the Government to set sector priorities and
hence to prioritize public investment. At the same time, it
points out where improved data and monitoring of performance
are needed in order to better quantify economic costs,
diagnose key logistics issues, and track improved
performance. It thereby proposes, as part of the set of
recommended activities, to build the Government of
Guatemala s capacity to measure performance and take action.
While the document is based on sound analysis of some
aspects of the country s logistics system, it must be
considered primarily a starting point which is subject to
broad country dissemination and debate by public and private stakeholders. |
