Resumen
Descripción
Trade facilitation and logistics have
become an important policy area in development. Supply chain
constraints are now recognized as a major impediment to
export led growth. The Trade and Transport Facilitation
Assessment (TTFA) is a practical tool to identify the
obstacles to the fluidity of trade supply chains. Taking the
perspective of service delivery to traders, the TTFA
assessment is founded on facts and data collected through a
series of meetings and interviews with the main public and
private participants to these international supply chains.
They include customs and other border agencies, transport
regulators, freight forwarders, transport operators, ports,
and others. The toolkit helps design plans of action to
improve logistics performance among its three main
dimensions: infrastructure, services, and procedures and
processes. This new edition of the toolkit provides an
opportunity not only to reflect the changes in the trade
environment and the need for additional features in the
toolkit, but also to benefit from the experiences of the
assessments already undertaken based on the original
edition. In 2001, the Bank issued a first TTFA toolkit based
on an original concept developed by John Raven. This initial
concept was extensively revised to give the new toolkit an
increased operational focus. The semantic change from audit
to assessment also reflects the expansion in scope and the
emphasis on development of implementable actions beyond the
initial diagnosis.
