| 摘要： | In September 1999, USAID/Africa Bureau's Africa Trade and Investment Policy (ATRIP) Program provided USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service/International Cooperation and Development with funding to conduct a series of interrelated activities for the East Africa Subregion (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania). The activities, proposed in accordance with ATRIP's objective of helping African private and public sector partners design and implement policy reforms that will make their countries attractive to international trade and investment, are intended to assist policy makers in improving regional transportation management and developing a common set of agricultural standards. The very poor state of transportation infrastructure and the dearth of harmonized standards in the region are two of the largest constraints restricting faster East African economic growth, U.S.-East African bilateral trade, and East Africa interregional trade. This report focuses on the transportation aspects of that initiative. To most accurately assess the status quo of the transportation and agricultural standards sectors and most appropriately design technical assistance activities, a transport sector assessment was conducted in March 2000. The objectives of the assessment were threefold: To better identify the predominant transportation constraints in the region said to be inhibiting trade; To propose appropriate technical assistance activities that would assist the region in overcoming constraints. Specifically, to design U.S.-based training activities for summer 2000; To identify key players in the transportation sectors and recommend potential participants. |
