Available international cross-country TTF indicators not sufficiently detailed and reliable Some TTF studies have been carried out in developing countries, but often One-off / Ad hoc assessment studies; Overlapping and not coordinated; No uniform method & approach Lack of ownership of results, with no follow-up Need for an integrated and sustainable mechanism: (1) To provide adequate data & information to support decision making and to monitor implementation and impact of these decisions on TTF (2) To reduce unnecessary duplication of efforts & ensure recommendations are implemented Training Workshop on TTFMM, Nepal, 15-17 April 2014 Old Chinese Wisdom Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime Training Workshop on TTFMM, Nepal, 15-17 April 2014 8 Integrated and Sustainable Trade & Transport Facilitation Monitoring Mechanism (TTFMM) Baseline study (BPA+ study) Formulate, update and prioritize recommendations for advancing trade facilitation Trade facilitation reform Implementation Measure, monitor and assess progress in trade facilitation Institutional arrangement (The executive body such as NTTFC) National Human Capacity Integrated Methodology: BPA+ Training Workshop on TTFMM, Nepal, 15-17 April 2014 A Business Process Analysis Day 20 Time-Procedure Chart 4 days 16 15 1 day 14 3 days 13 12 10 1 day 1 day 11 2 days 6 7 8 9 10 3 days 4 5 5 2 days 3 2 days 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Process 1.
