4.6.2. Political and Institutional Factors
The level / degree of cooperation among countries would appear to be high with an extensive
and far reaching multilateral agreement. The NCTTCA was established under the legal
framework of NCTTCA to coordinate implementation of the Agreement and to carry out
decisions and resolutions reached by policy organs of the Authority. The Agreement mandates
NCTTCA to promote co-operative transport policies and foster an efficient and cost-effective
transit transport system within the Corridor.
The Vision and Mission Statements are as follows:
Vision: NCTTCA's vision is to contribute to sustainable social and economic development of
the NTTC member States through an integrated transport system that promotes national,
regional and international trade.
Mission: NCTTCA's mission is to transform the Northern Corridor into an economic
development Corridor that offers internationally competitive transit transport services,
