Trade and Transport Facilitation Study on the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Development Project The core of the study, committed to TRT and IdeaConsult, is the analysis of the current process of border crossing by both passengers and freight within Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. This analysis aims to identify any bottlenecks, whether they are legal, regulatory, or related to physical infrastructure, that complicate the crossing. The study then will propose measures at both national and regional levels that would significantly improve the current crossing systems in terms of both time and cost for passengers and goods crossing one or more borders along the corridor. TRT team will provide its expertise for tasks related to ICT, logistics, and transportation, through the involvement of selected key experts. The work includes organising on-site meetings, collecting data for the reconstruction of the state of the art in the fields of ICT, logistics, and transportation in the corridor and in the countries concerned. TRT team is responsible for drafting reports on ICT, logistics, and transportation themes and for presenting the results and content of the reports.

Ivory Coast – Elaboration of the National Logistics Plan The aim of the project is the elaboration of the National Logistics Plan of the Ivory Coast with the identification of strategies for the development of logistics in the country, the drafting of an action plan and the training on the simulation model realised. The work is characterised by the performance of the following activities: collection of data and information through field interviews and desk research with reference to freight transport and logistics in Ivory Coast; processing of the data and information collected in order to provide an overview of the current state of logistics in the country, both in terms of supply and demand for freight transport; analysis of the institutional, organisational and regulatory framework of the freight transport sector in the Ivory Coast; study of the country’s freight transport and logistics development programmes for the future years; elaboration of the National Logistics Plan of the Ivory Coast.   In support of the plan, TRT is also responsible for the construction of a simulation model of the demand and supply of freight transport in the country, capable of providing a forecast of demand, also in relation to the constant growth of the national GDP and the planned infrastructural interventions both on the transport network and on the main nodes (such as, for example, distribution centres and port terminals).   [tw_button icon=”” link=”http://www.trt.it/en/projects/” size=”small” rounded=”false” style=”flat” hover=”default” color=”#223468″ target=”_self”]Projects[/tw_button]
