Lessons of Corridor Performance Measurement

This paper presents the methodological lessons of several corridor performance measurements carried out in Africa. Based on current experience, the authors conclude that while road driver trip questionnaires may be useful, the core of monitoring activities should mostly rely on existing consolidated data (customs and port data) or limited surveys (freight forwarders, major trucking companies, truckers and transport unions) to benchmark corridor performance.
