Project Description

The pre-implementation phase has secured ownership at political leadership levels, and technical levels. The project has been designed with necessary scoping and target setting. The project will be delivered in two phases. Phase-1 will focus on simplifying trade logistics procedures at the Wagah border and improving public private dialogue (PPD). Once this is accomplished and there is appetite for further reforms, Phase-2 will support deeper border agency coordination at Wagah, strengthening of public private dialogue, and review current regulatory framework for the transit regime and assess possible improvements.
