Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program
(SSATP) working paper series;no. 86 |
| description |
Corridor efficiency is important to the
competitiveness of most of the African economies, especially
those that are landlocked. Corridors can be defined as a
collection of routes linking several economic centers,
countries and ports. While some are only road transport
corridors, most of them include more than one mode of
transport. The Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program
(SSATP) places emphasis on the facilitation of inter-state
trade along corridors. It particularly focuses on
identifying impediments to the efficient movement of traffic
and seeks to promote appropriate strategies for minimizing
hurdles to such movement. This objective is also consistent
with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Almaty
Plan of Action. This concept paper reviews the legal and
institutional options for establishing corridor management
groups and proposes a framework for establishing such groups
along all major transport corridors. Some of the lessons
have emerged from the existing corridor management
arrangements: (i) corridor groups interventions are problem
solving and the operational procedures should encourage this
objective and retain flexibility necessary to be responsive;
(ii) working groups can be formed on an ad hoc basis to
address specific issues and disbanded once the objective
met; and (iii) the group organization should ensure
public-private interaction at all levels. A three-tier
corridor management institution is proposed for regional
transport corridors without any arrangement. The
institutional hierarchy would comprise a stakeholders group,
a core group and a secretariat. Funding arrangements for
existing corridor groups include membership fees,
contributions by governments, traffic-based usage fees, or
donor support. Generally, the funding mechanism of a
corridor group would be influenced by its legal instrument.
Once established, the group would be able to develop an
action plan and deliver some results making it possible to
introduce a usage-based funding mechanism such as a tonnage levy. |
