Maputo Corridor Performance Assessment: A Transport Logistics Diagnostic Tool Study

摘要

This report is the second technical report under the Transport Logistics Diagnostic Tool (TLDT) implementation activity. It presents the results of a corridor performance assessment conducted using the TLDT audit methodology and software. To assist USAID, other donors, governments, and the private sector in developing countries in identifying and addressing transport logistics problems, the TLDT measures the performance of transport logistics chains in terms of time, price, and reliability, and identifies bottlenecks and assesses their impact on transport systems that constrain the objective of seamless freight flow. The TLDT process is designed to help USAID and developing country stakeholders and policymakers prioritize problems and communicate with each other about port and logistics chain inefficiencies and potential solutions. The TLDTs screening system (1) assesses and quantifies the relative importance of a problem in a logistics chain, and (2) helps users prioritize improvements credibly and transparently so that all parties can participate in the analysis to arrive at a mutually acceptable result. The tool also evaluates possible interventions to resolve these problems.
