Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring: Methodology Workshop

The CAREC Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM) Methodology Workshop will be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan on 29–30 October 2024. Interested participants may also join online via Zoom. Please register here.

The CAREC Integrated Trade Agenda 2030 framework supports enhancing the measurement of at-the-border and behind-the-border procedures to promote lower trade costs and more effective trade facilitation in the region. In line with this, the workshop discussion will revolve around the improvements of the CPMM methodology and recommended practices in data collection.

The CAREC Program initiated a review of the CPMM with a view to enhancing its effectiveness in fostering the development of the CAREC Corridors. This workshop will introduce to the CPMM stakeholders, specifically its private-sector freight forwarder association partners, the focus shifts in data collection, validation, and dissemination. It will also discuss the issues encountered during the pilot implementation of the revised CPMM methodology and how to address them.

In addition, the workshop will provide an opportunity to map out the partnership between ADB and CAREC Institute in the implementation of CPMM and efficient promotion of its outputs among the stakeholders.
