Governance of Transport Corridors in OIC Member States:
Challenges, Cases and Policy Lessons
30
 Information exchange: exchange of information to facilitate corridor performance;
 Coordination: increased level of coordination;
 Cooperation : a coordinated approach, working closer together, joint systems;
 Integration: integration of systems and working arrangements.
These archetypes can be used to identify the governance development level of a transport corridor.
This can then be the basis for defining actions that best fit that level of governance development. In the
case studies reviewed, both at OIC and non-OIC level, we have placed the corridors in the four defined
development levels, for all seven governance domains. Through that exercise, it is clear that there is
no one-size-fits-all governance level. The most suitable level is situational and depends on a range of
factors, such as maturity of the corridor, political commitment and the presence of an international
organisation facilitating the corridor governance. This will be dealt with in more detail in Section 3.
