 PROGRAM RATIONALE

 
CEN-SAD aims at establishing a comprehensive Economic Union based on a strategy implement-ed in accordance with a developmental plan that would be integrated in the national development plans of the member States with focus on Regional security and Sustainable development.

Looking at countries memberships in other RECs, it is crucial for stakeholders to harmonize policies and legislation regarding the management, operation and maintenance of corridors, which is the building block of a successful integration.

The exploitation of road corridors should be based on the design and construction of appropriate climate-resilient infrastructure including gender aspects.

 CEN-SAD requested this capacity-building program to encourage foreign trade through drawing up and implementing an investment policy for member States; to enhance and improve land transportation above all among member States through the implementation of joint projects.
