Every day, over 4000 trucks ply across the corridor moving different types of goods from humanitarian goods to agricultural inputs. Authorities and key players in both Ethiopia and Djibouti highlight the various barriers across the corridor such as unnecessary delays of trucks at the port of Djibouti, PK 12 and PK51, congestion at PK12, lack of coordination among logistics sector player, unharmonised legal framework in the transport sector and massive infrastructure gaps on the Djibouti side Subsequently, this results to high costs of trade in terms of money and time. For example, currently trucks on the corridor make an average of 2.5 trips per month against targeted six trips per month. What: Extensive stakeholder consultations point out that one way of addressing some of the above challenges would be putting up a corridor management and coordination framework; through establishment and operationalising of the Corridor Management Authority comprised of both Ethiopia and Djibouti stakeholders. The Authority will work closely with corridor stakeholders to coordinate operations on the corridor and will be critical in identifying bottlenecks that arise and leading in their resolution. For effective operations of the CMA, the partners will be supported to develop appropriate tools for measuring and evaluating performance of...

This project seeks to automate the processes by developing an online platform for application, approval and issuance of certificates of origin as well as develop a database for managing membership for the Djibouti Chamber of Commerce. How: The platform will have three main modules: Application of Certificate of Origin, Approval and issuance of Certificate of Origin and Customer Relations Module. The three main modules will be supported by the following other modules: Online Registration of Members, Online/Mobile Payment of Services and Reporting Module. This platform will facilitate a reduction in cost and time for application, approval, and issuance of Certificates of Origin to the members of the Chamber. It will also enhance information sharing between the National Chamber, its partner offices as well as its members who are the greatest asset of the Chamber.

Considered a high season, the increased volumes demand an additional 3,500 (approx.) trucks to be deployed as a complement to the 15000 trucks that already ply the route.   Yet, each year, there is a supply-demand disconnect that emerges from known cause effects; and resultantly multi-pronged challenges that delay delivery of goods. First, there is no fleet management system in existence, therefore, the government of Ethiopia is incapacitated to plan truck allocation that can inform the industry players on the gaps for supply. Lack of information to the industry results to shortage of trucks, the ensuing confusion and delays are far reaching, least of all for humanitarian cargo and critical agricultural inputs which in turn affect production in agriculture dependent Ethiopia. Industry players estimate that 4000 trucks ply the Djibouti Corridor daily, however there is no official government figure to confirm this number. Yet this is critical to inform potential investors in the logistics sector, as well as inform in coordination and supervision of truck on the corridor.  The ripple effect of this, is increased delays and increased costs...
