Major activites undertaken by ECA related to the needs and problems of land-locked countries in Africa

Abstract

A study on assessment of implementation of international transit facilitation agreements along selected corridors was also undertaken by ECA in 1996 within the framework of the first objective of UNTACDA II. The immediate objective of the study was to assess the extent to which transit and land-locked countries have benefited from the various multinational and bilateral agreements which they have jointly negotiated and signed for the improvement of transit transport along their transit corridors since the inception of UNTACDAI in 1978. The study was undertaken to find out areas where land-locked and transit countries should collaborate to facilitate successful implementation of their existing transit agreements.
