Border Integration Program of Costa Rica

implementation

The objective of the program is to strengthen Costa Rica¿s competitiveness by modernizing its border infrastructure, equipment, and systems, with a view to ensuring the efficient and effective coordination of the control activities performed by the border control agencies. The specific objectives are to: (i) implement a physical and regulatory system of effective control tools and processes; and (ii) provide Costa Rica¿s border crossings with the appropriate infrastructure and equipment to effectively implement control tools and processes for cargo and people. This objective is consistent with efforts under way by the countries of Central America to consolidate their regional integration process
