4.7 Capacity building: technical assistance and studies
Capacity building and specifically technical assistance and studies are in general not seen as key
elements of corridor governance, as reflected by the survey response:
 Technical assistance is only in 14% provided to support the governance and management of the
transport corridor;
 42%of respondents indicate that studies are carried out to support the functioning of the transport
corridor.
Literate review reveals that notably development partners play an active role in capacity building in
corridor management and governance, or transport corridor development in general. This is especially
the case if the topic is stretched to also covering trade facilitation and logistics. In Egypt, for example.
A variety of donors has been involved, including the World Bank, EIB, ADB, EU, and USAID.
