Activities pertaining to the ESCWA regional transport network and efforts geared towards interregional and regional transport cooperation will be intensified, in response to the second phase of the Transport and Communications Decade in Western Asia (1992 1996).

They can also lead to regional transport and ICT infrastructures and networks.

Thirdly, political problems often overshadow the priorities of regional integration, efficient trade and potentially profitable transport corridors.

ECA organized the forum on transport infrastructure and regional integration for Central Africa in Yaoundé, Cameroon, from 15 to 18 December 2003 designed to adopt a subregional transport master plan that covered road, rail, air and inland water transport.

It firmly believed that the establishment of regional transport networks and the improvement of existing transport infrastructures strengthened trade cooperation among the countries of the region and promoted economic growth.

Where transport and communications are poor, a regional focus may be the only viable option, at least initially.

Furthermore, regional and subregional cooperative arrangements, backed by international support, could enhance the development of energy corridors, an efficient transit transport system and increased regional trade turnover.

Arrangements made with the regional authorities to collect the assistance goods directly from the UNHCR warehouse in Tbilisi and transport them to the respective regions accelerated the process and reduced transport costs.
