As an important element of transit transport regimes, attention would be paid to ensuring an enabling environment for multimodal transport and logistics services.

Although transportation practices and patterns have changed accordingly, the international legal framework governing multimodal transportation is lagging behind.

The development of multimodal transport and accelerated delivery services would also represent an important contribution for LDCs.

It has also undertaken gender mainstreaming activities within its capacity building programme on multimodal transport.

SUBPROGRAMME 5. SHIPPING, PORTS AND MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT

There are currently no uniform international conventions to support international multimodal transportation and it is therefore important for international and regional efforts to be made to develop a new legal instrument to govern transportation.

The least developed countries faced a worrying situation with regard to the development of multimodal transport, and challenges included the limited availability of transport equipment, precarious infrastructure, and complex and onerous administrative procedures.
