The CAREC Institute Performance Assessment Review (CIPAR) serves as an interim assessment for the purpose of eliciting guidance on the design of the Institute’s subsequent activities and programs. This exercise was conducted given the need to: (i) offer considerations for the Institute work plan for 2012–2014 and, (ii) complement the review of the overall CAREC Program’s strategic directions, as sought in the CAREC 10-year Commemorative Study.

This study presents a consolidated picture of development projects on the transport and trade facilitation sectors in the CAREC region between 2000 and 2008. It focuses on actions funded by development agencies active in the region, providing an opportunity for all parties to share information and experience about their work in the region, seek more effective ways of coordination, and explore options for further collaboration.
