PROJECT: INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES FOR THE AFRICAN UNION
In recent years, the African Union has dedicated a lot of resources towards creating more transparency in all policy and regulatory actions in an effort to develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels. For the African Union, NTU helped create the Transport Policy Paper and provided the basis for the transport regulatory system and the framework for regulations in the transport sector. NTU also provided institutional strengthening by building and helping promote the cooperation between the Regional Economic Communities – REC (AMU, CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD and SADC) through the organiza- tion of high-level validation committees. These commit- tees were also tasked with reviewing and agreeing on the provision of the transport policy.
NTU’s support helped strengthening border liaison between AUC countries; and developing and implement- ing the first smart corridor pilot in Africa. It contributed to the standardization and harmonization of processes and procedures along the selected corridors. Recommen- dations were made for a legal framework in all the corridor countries which allows the conversion of all borders along these corridors into OSBPs – One Stop Border Posts.
