Low levels of understanding of import and export procedures by traders and border staff results in delays. Delays increase transportation costs for traders. What: A one stop border post is being constructed at Kobero/Kabanga border points. How: 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.  This project is linked to other TMA supported projects that will provide: • Improved IT infrastructure;  • Harmonised working procedures on both sides of the border; and • Training for border agency staff, freight forwarders and traders.  The project is implemented in coordination with other ongoing initiatives of the World Bank, JICA, USAID, the African Development Bank and the European Union.
