12 Lessons from CAREC and GMS Trade Facilitation programs Trade facilitation attract most interests in sub-regional cooperation programs Stakeholders own interests International best practices Regional public goods Peer pressure Border crossing point (BCP) is the major bottleneck More then three quarters of waiting time and two thirds of costs occur at the BCPs While modernizing BCPs and streamlining procedures at BCPs will have the most efficiency gains, there are limits on what can be achieved at BCP and how they are addressed need to look at coordinated border management in the broader sense Beyond border measures are also important
13 Lessons from CAREC and GMS Trade Facilitation programs Cont. Transport and Economic Corridors Development of corridors become Raison d'être for institutional building and prioritization of work programs Transport facilitation and trade facilitation issues need be addressed together to maximize synergies CBTA formally codifies transport facilitation and trade facilitation arrangements Non-CBTA works are also important Top-down and bottom-up approaches will end up at the same place formal arrangements such as customs unions, cross-border transport agreements, and regional transit schemes need a flexible set of trade facilitation measures to implement; informal arrangements that are project focused, tangible, and pragmatic, need to be formally institutionalized
14 Lessons from CAREC and GMS Trade Facilitation programs Cont. Effective institutions and institutional structure are necessary conditions for success Need to bring in all stakeholders, particularly the private sector Need to be mindful of specific interests, incentives, territories, and capabilities of different groups Need to be patient and yet engaging Effective donor coordination Result oriented Results measurements are important to decide reliability and replicability of specific trade facilitation initiatives Cumulative results measures from the trade facilitation programs tend to be used to solicit more political support for sub-regional cooperation programs
15 Lessons from CAREC and GMS Trade Facilitation programs Cont. Key successful factors Ownership of stakeholders Over the implementation of strategies and action plans at the regional level, and over the formulation of national master plans Coordination Among various functional agencies at the national level, among regional groupings of trade facilitation, transport, trade policy, customs, and other regional cooperation mechanisms, and donors and development partners Implementation Of concrete and deliverable projects to build trust among stakeholders involved and deliver results to win confidence of policy makers
