== Abstract ==

​

This study is part of the ongoing             dialogue on reforming trade logistics, and facilitating             trade and transportation in Central and South Asian             countries. It presents key findings from several rounds of             first-hand observations and interviews conducted with             multiple stakeholders to measure the performance of key road             transport corridors across the region, including Kazakhstan,             Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and to some extent, Pakistan             and Afghanistan. The study identifies obstacles that hinder             efficient movement of goods along transport corridors, and             offers recommendations for short- and medium-term reforms             for participating country governments with particular             emphasis on the performance of border crossings. The overall             objective of this study is to provide basic information on             transport corridor performance so that national policy             makers and private sectors have a basis to open discussions             on how they might cooperate to facilitate international             trade and transport by addressing infrastructure and             operational bottlenecks in the region.
