preparation

This Technical Cooperation will combine infrastructure planning with institutional and regulatory measures to accelerate regional integration in South America. It will focus on three complementary dimensions: (i) Physical infrastructure planning and knowledge generation, including the completion and expansion of the Infrastructure Observatory as a regional platform for planning and coordination, as well as the refinement of project prioritization methodologies; (ii) Soft infrastructure and policy convergence, through studies and technical assistance aimed at trade facilitation, customs modernization, harmonization of regulatory frameworks, and digital interoperability, as well as governance arrangements applicable to logistics corridors; (iii) Communication and knowledge dissemination, by promoting a shared South American identity and showcasing emblematic integration projects supported by the IDB, CAF, and FONPLATA, thereby strengthening stakeholder engagement and collaborative action.
