2 CAREC Results Framework Accelerated Economic Growth & Poverty Reduction Level 1: CAREC Countries Development Outcomes Level 2: CAREC Priority Sector Outputs Level 3: Operational and Organizational Effectiveness Aggregated data for Macro level indicators in: Poverty Reduction GDP, Trade, and Business Aggregated data for Sectoral level indicators in: Transport Sector Trade Facilitation Sector Trade Policy Sector Energy Sector Aggregated data for Input level indicators in: Operations Growth Finance Mobilization Knowledge Management

3 CAREC Development Effectiveness Review Proposed New Actions Level 1: Improve sourcing of poverty data Level 2: Capture a fuller picture of CAREC s performance Address DEfR Actions in sector coordinating committee meetings Consider implications of CAREC 2020 and the MTPP Level 3: Complete upgrading of CAREC website Identify priority publication needs Expand media monitoring activities

4 CAREC 6 Priority Corridors

5 Joint Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy Three overarching goals: establish competitive corridors across the CAREC region; facilitate efficient movement of people and goods through CAREC corridors and across borders; and develop sustainable, safe, user-friendly transport and trade networks. TF component required adoption of results-based approach to monitor time and cost savings as key indicators

6 Customs Cooperation Committee (CCC) Composed of heads of customs agencies in 10 CAREC countries Five priority areas: Simplification and harmonization of customs procedures and documentation; ICT customs modernization and data exchange; Risk management and post-entry audit; Joint customs control; and Regional transit development Annual meetings review each country s progress on 5 priority areas

7 Corridors Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM) Objectives 1. To compare relative performance of cargo transport over different CAREC corridors; 2. To identify border crossing points (BCPs) that are difficult to cross; 3. To determine causes of long delays at BCPs; and 4. To understand movement of cargo in Central Asia.

8 CPMM Methods UNESCAP Time Cost Distance (TCD) Method Driver s Form TCD Template Time Release Study

9 CAREC Federation of Carrier and Forwarder Associations (

10 Institutional Arrangement MOUs with 14 national partner associations (freight forwarders and road carriers) operating in the CAREC countries Average 30 TCDs/partner association/month Should cover the routes in the agreed on CAREC priority corridors but may include data from non-carec corridors for analytical purposes; Route should involve crossing at least one international border

11 Partner Associations Country Official Names Abbreviated Names 1 AFG Association of Afghanistan Freight Forwarders Companies AAFFCO 2 AZE Azerbaijan International Road Carriers Association ABADA 3 KAZ Union of International Road Carriers of the Republic of Kazakhstan KAZATO 4 KAZ Kazakhstan Freight Forwarders Association KFFA 5 KGZ Kyrgyz Freight Operators Association of FOA 6 KGZ Association of International Road Carriers of the Kyrgyz Republic ASMAP 7 MON Mongolia National Chamber of Commerce and Industry MNCCI 8 MON National Road Transport Association of Mongolia NRTAM 9 PRC China International Freight Forwarders Association CIFA 10 PRC Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Logistics Association IMAR 11 PRC Xinjiang Uighur Logistics Association People s Republic of China 12 TAJ Association of International Automobile Carriers of the Republic of Tajikistan XULA ABBAT 13 UZB Business Logistics Development Association ADBL 14 UZB Association of International Road Carriers of Uzbekistan AIRCUZ

12 Analysis and Reporting Data and statistical analyses are performed in ADB Quarterly reports are posted on CFCFA website ( and annual report is presented at CAREC Ministerial Conference Partner associations are being trained to perform data analysis

13 1st Qtr 2011 Findings 1,110 samples collected from 14 participating freight forwarder associations

14 1 st Qtr 2011 Findings Trade Facilitation Indicators (Road) TF 1: Time taken to clear a BCP (hr) Mean : 5.0 Median : 3.0 TF 2: Costs incurred at border crossing clearance (US$) Mean : Median : 89.0 TF 3: Cost incurred to travel a corridor section (US$) Per 500km, for a 20-ton truck or a TEU Container Mean : 1,136.2 Median : TF 4: Speed to travel on CAREC corridors (kph) SWOD : 43.6 Median : 28.9

15 1st Qtr 2011 Findings BCPs are major bottlenecks Major delays at BCPs due to waiting time in queue (average of 5.6 hrs) loading and unloading of goods and cargo (average of 5.7 hrs) customs clearance (average of 1.9 hrs) Major contributors to total cost in clearing BCPs: loading and unloading fees (average of $105) custom clearance (average of $91) repair/tire replacement (average of $76) detours (average of $19)
