OSBP Sourcebook, 2nd Edition.pdf

Intra- African trade has lagged over time due to low levels of trade facilitation and industrialisation despite rapid growth in trade over recent decades. Studies have identified impediments to trade growth and competitiveness on the continent and found that while movement along major highways is relatively quick, processes and procedures at ports, borders, and checkpoints established along corridors is increasingly prohibitory. Central to facilitating intra-regional trade and the efficient and timely movement of people, goods and services to promote regional integration is the concept of One Stop Border Posts (OSBPs).
