closed

The objective of the Abidjan-Lagos Trade and Transport Facilitation Project (ALTTFP) is to reduce trade and transport barriers in the ports and on the roads along the Abidjan-Lagos corridor in Ghana, Togo, and Benin. There are four components to the project, the first component being trade facilitation. This component will include the following sub-components: facilitation of collection and sharing of relevant information and data among customs agencies along the corridor; establishment of an adequate internal reporting system aimed at improving management control of customs agencies' operations; and strengthening of the operational capacity of the recipients' national road transport and transit facilitation committees. The second component is the improvement of the road corridor's infrastructure. The third component is the project management and coordination. This component will include provision of technical advisory services and logistical support (including office equipment, materials, supplies, and vehicles) required to sustain management and coordination of project implementation activities including monitoring and evaluation of progress achieved in the execution of the project. Finally, the fourth component is the HIV/AIDS programs and corridor performance monitoring.
