The current study builds on the earlier 2008 DTIS by identifying the major factors holding back the increase of agricultural exports and economic diversification. The report identifies a package of measures that will support Sudan to more effectively realize its economic potential. The DTIS Update presents an updated action matrix that summarizes the recommended policy reforms. This matrix was validated with a wide variety of stakeholders in Khartoum in September 2014. Together, the action points will contribute to reducing trade costs, thereby enabling Sudanese enterprises and farmers to compete more successfully in regional and global markets and realize the GOS objectives of expanding and diversifying exports for increased economic growth. The recommendations accept that any changes in tariff schedules should be ‘revenue neutral,’ given the existing challenging fiscal situation.application/pdftext/plainCC BY 3.0 IGOhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/World BankDOMESTIC FLIGHTSMODAL SPLITTRANSPORT SECTORPROFIT MARGINSEXCISE TAXESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONTRANSPORT SERVICERAIL NETWORKAIRPORTPASSENGERSCROSSINGSTRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURERUNWAYSROAD IMPROVEMENTSALTERNATIVE ROUTESRUNWAYFERRIESTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT CORRIDORSVEHICLESTRANSPORTATION COSTSROUND TRIPTRANSPORT MODEELASTICITY OF DEMANDTRAFFIC FLOWQUALITY OF TRANSPORTTRENDELASTICITYINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTJOURNEYINLAND WATERWAYSBORDER CROSSINGSTOLLLORRIESRAILWAY LINESFLEET SIZECARRIERSTRAFFICROAD INFRASTRUCTURERAILWAY STATIONSMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTPEAK DEMANDTAXROUTESAIRPORTSINCOME TAXVOLUME OF TRAFFICGROSS VEHICLE WEIGHTWEALTHAIRUNDERGROUNDTRANSPORT SERVICESTRAVELERSTUNNELINTERNATIONAL TRANSITTRANSPORT ACCESSTRAFFIC VOLUMEDRIVERSLOCAL TRANSPORTTRANSPORT MODESVEHICLESIGNAGETRANSPORT INVESTMENTSROADEXCISE DUTIESTOLLSAIRPORT OPERATIONSCOSTSTRANSPORT OPERATORSAIR TRAVELTRAININGROAD NETWORKELECTRONIC SYSTEMSTRANSPORTRAIL LINKSRAILWAY SYSTEMREBATESEXCISE DUTYPORT OF ENTRYFIXED COSTSMODE OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYRAILWAY LINEEXTERNALITIESHIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTSTRIPSMODES OF TRANSPORTTRUEPORTS OF ENTRYTRANSPORT FACILITIESRAIL ACCESSCOMMERCIAL TRANSPORTTRANSPORT EQUIPMENTROUTELOCOMOTIVETRANSPORT INDUSTRYFUELSAIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURESUBSIDIESINFRASTRUCTURETAXESPROFIT MARGININFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTTRANSPORT NETWORKINITIATIVESDRIVINGCONGESTIONNATIONAL PARKSTRAVELTRANSPORTATIONINSPECTIONTRANSITTRAMWAYAIR SAFETYPOLICIESTRANSPARENCYHEAVY TRUCKSTRUCKSINTERNATIONAL FLIGHTSPOLICECARSLAND TRANSPORTRAIL SYSTEMMEANS OF TRANSPORTPORT SERVICESTRAINSACCESSIBILITYNATIONAL TRANSPORTPRICE CHANGESQUALITY OF TRANSPORT SERVICESROLLING STOCKRAILWAYARCHAEOLOGICAL SITESHIGHWAYSNATIONAL HIGHWAYSAIRCRAFTPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRIP PLANNINGBRIDGEMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTTRAFFIC VOLUMESTAX REVENUEROADSENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONSCARPORT FACILITIESCROSSINGFLEETSHIGHWAY AUTHORITYTRANSPORTATION FACILITIESHIGHWAYRAILWAYSAIR TRANSPORTECONOMIES OF SCALEBORDER MANAGEMENTFUEL PRICEINLAND TRANSPORTTRUCK RESTRICTIONSRAILFUELAIR CONDITIONERSPEAK DEMAND PERIODSTRIPTRANSPORT SYSTEMINLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORTFREE ZONESINVESTMENTSVEHICLE REGISTRATIONSAIRWAYSMODE SPLITPETROLEUM PRODUCTSTRANSPORT COSTSROAD TRANSPORTSAFETYRAILWAY NETWORKSINLAND WATERWAYTRANSPORTATION SERVICESFREIGHTTRANSPORT OPERATIONSBOTTLENECKSReport
