Project rationale
The Kobero/Kabanga border crossing is currently characterized by outdated infrastructure, uncoordinated procedures by multiple border agencies working in isolation and low border agency capacity. Low levels of understanding of import and export procedures by traders and border staff results in delays. Delays increase transportation costs for traders.
A one stop border post is being constructed at Kobero/Kabanga border points.
Implementation strategy
TMA is providing funding for the construction of the OSBP and is supporting the lead agencies to implement the project on time and ensure quality.
