Resource information
This is the second edition of the 2003
paper entitled "Facilitation of transport and trade in
Sub-Saharan Africa : a review of international legal
instruments - Treaties, conventions, protocols, decisions,
directives." Three major reasons motivated this update
and an expansion of its scope. First, African countries are
increasingly cooperating, especially in the area of
corridors, to achieve full connectivity, mobility and
accessibility. To that end, they are concluding new
agreements and conventions. Second, this new edition has
been extended to the whole of the African continent,
including the Maghreb, which was not in the previous
inventory. Third, air transport and associated agreements
and conventions were added at the request of countries.
Indeed, the future of air transport in Africa is bright. It
is likely that it becomes an affordable mode of transport to
reach remote areas.
