Regional: BIMSTEC Transport Infrastructure and Logistics Study (BTILS)

This technical assistance project enhanced interregional integration by increasing trade and travel among BIMSTEC countries. Through identification of the main transport and logistics constraints, the study will help the development of policies and strategies to address barriers to effective and efficient trade. BTILS was endorsed by all member countries and provided the basis for a pipeline of regional projects.
