Results Framework for Pillar A - Integration, Connectivity and Cohesion Objective/Outcome Indicators Means of verification Risks and Mitigation Promote effective policy and strategy formulation and implementation for corridor development at country and regional levels Continental Free Trade Agreements (CFTA) indicators Risk: No downstream implementation of strategies Mitigation: partnership with development partners Intermediate outcome Indicators Means of Verification Risks and Mitigation Consensus on the strategic orientations for integrated corridor development Consensus built on strategic orientations for performance based corridor development plans One REC having adopted a holistic and multimodal approach in planning and executing integrated corridor development One REC having adopted strategies for performance-based corridor development RECs, Countries and Corridor decisions Risk: SSATP resources will be too limited to fund application of concept of integrated corridor development. Mitigation: Partnership with development partners; careful targeting of RECs/countries based on commitment and readiness Risk: Lack of inclusive policy dialogue on corridor performance Mitigation: Activities related to objective 2 Outputs Indicators Means of Verification and Mitigation Assessment of corridor development approaches in Africa/review of REC/corridor strategic development plans Preparation of technical on knowledge gaps, assessment and dissemination of experience and good practices and promotion of integrated corridor development and corridor development Program to promote integrated corridor development and performance-based corridor development Assessment of strategic plans in RECs and corridor authorities carried out Case study of integrated corridor development in Africa Review of international good practices Stakeholders’ meetings having taken place to advocate integrated corridor development and performance-based corridor development approaches SSATP Publications and progress reports
Promote efficient logistics services Decrease of total logistic cost on selected corridors Data collected by Transport Observatories Risk: Increase in costs may distort the results Mitigation: adjust with evolution of prices Intermediate outcome Indicators Means of verification Risks and Mitigation Regulatory framework in place per type of logistic service: Trucking services C&F Terminal operators Rural logistics Railways Inland waterways Control agencies (Customs) Single Windows Number of countries having adopted revised regulatory framework RECs / Countries gazettes Risk: Reluctance of operators / agencies to revise regulatory framework Mitigation: Political economy analysis assessing willingness / identifying champions to initiate reform Advocacy work on the cost of inaction Outputs Indicators Means of verification Risks and Mitigation For each type of logistics service, a case study: Analysis of the problems Preparation of reform scenarios and review of options Quantification of the cost of inaction Political Economy analysis Assessment of capacity development / training needs for operators Three case studies carried out. Each case study covers: Analysis of the problems Preparation of reform scenarios and review of options Quantification of the cost of inaction Political Economy analysis Assessment of capacity development/training needs for operators Decisions from RECs/countries
