As the same time, the proliferation of bilateral, trilateral, sub-regional facilitation agreements bring with it the prospect of overlapping obligations and the need to ensure consistency at the regional level. The Transport Facilitation and Logistics Section seeks to assist member countries to integrate all modes of transport, adopt effective multimodal and logistics solutions, overcome non-physical bottlenecks, harmonize legal regimes relating to facilitation and strengthen human resources and institutional capacities.
