Draft Report for SSATP –MCLI Mozambique Transit Regime Project CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND 2.1 The SSATP Regional Integration Program The following is an extract from the SSATP terms of reference July 2011 The SSATP program has obtained a Trade Facilitation Facility (TFF) of US$4.1 million to finance a Corridor Facilitation Program over a period of two years starting June 2011. The TFF is a multi-donor trust fund administered by the World Bank, focusing on trade and transport facilitation activities in low income countries in Africa. Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and countries have embarked on a comprehensive program laying the foundation for efficient transport by strengthening the policy setting organizations for regional integration notably through the adoption of a proper institutional framework (corridor management authority) and the monitoring tools used (transport observatories). Performance indicators are critical for the design of trade facilitation interventions, and equally to measure the impact of current and future initiatives. In a dialogue with RECs and Corridor authorities facilitated through SSATP program during a meeting held in Kigali in February 2011, a strong consensus emerged on the need to obtain and share between all stakeholders reliable and adequate data on corridor efficiency. As a result, the SSATP Corridor Facilitation Program (the ―Program‖) has been designed jointly with the RECs and the corridor authorities in response to that need. The aim of the Program is to identify and prioritize interventions to reduce trade costs along key corridors in Sub-Saharan Africa. This will be achieved by pursuing two interrelated objectives: a) Develop systems to collect and manage data on the performance of key trade corridors and to assess the impact of trade facilitation initiatives by the private sector, governments and development agencies; and b) Promote mechanisms for the participation of all main stakeholders in the management of trade corridors, taking notably into account the specific needs of all the countries served through the corridor, coastal and landlocked. Activities to be conducted on the corridors are related to: a) Developing Corridor Transport Observatories to collect and manage data on the performance of key trade corridors and to assess the impact of trade facilitation initiatives by the private sector, governments and development agencies: P a g e | 14
