| Summary: | This study is part of the ongoing
dialogue on reforming trade logistics, and facilitating
trade and transportation in Central and South Asian
countries. It presents key findings from several rounds of
first-hand observations and interviews conducted with
multiple stakeholders to measure the performance of key road
transport corridors across the region, including Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and to some extent, Pakistan
and Afghanistan. The study identifies obstacles that hinder
efficient movement of goods along transport corridors, and
offers recommendations for short- and medium-term reforms
for participating country governments with particular
emphasis on the performance of border crossings. The overall
objective of this study is to provide basic information on
transport corridor performance so that national policy
makers and private sectors have a basis to open discussions
on how they might cooperate to facilitate international
trade and transport by addressing infrastructure and
operational bottlenecks in the region. |
