  3. Background & Objectives • The NCTTCA’s mission is to contribute to sustainable social and economic development of it’s member states. • It aims to achieve this through an integrated transport system that promotes national, regional and international trade. • Defining and tracking a set of indicators measuring the corridor performance is therefore a critical component.

  4. Background & Objectives • Indicators help to: • Identify areas for improvement in relation to benchmarks • Provide tools for diagnosing problems/bottlenecks on the corridor • Measure the evolution of situations and leads to the measurement of performance of programs designed to address bottlenecks on the corridor • Hence, the Transport Observatory Project.

  5. Overview of Indicators Identified • General indicators for the Northern Corridor: • Transit Time, Traffic flows from Mombasa • Daily flows out of the port gates • Monthly traffic flows to landlocked countries (inbound and outbound) • Weighbridge crossing time: • Transport tariffs, Annual distance per truck • Country specific indicators: • Border crossing time, Dwell time of cargo in the port of Mombasa (local cargo, transit cargo) • Traffic flows (daily crossings at the Northern Corridor borders) • Transit time (through transit, transit between entry point and destination)

  6. Overview of Data Collection Methodology • Road Surveys and Stakeholder Reports • IT Systems: Major stakeholders to donate data were identified as: • Customs and Ports • Inland Ports / ICDs / CFS Stations • Weighbridge and Customs TMU data • Customs at Border Stations • Focal points were established within each stakeholder to obtain the required data easily on the agreed frequencies.

  7. Process and Activities So Far • The 2004/2005 Baseline Survey on Key Non-Physical Barriers (Road Survey) • Total 507 data forms to 16 transporters handed out, 230 filled. • Development and Implementation of the Transport Observatory Database: • Phase 1, undertaken in 2005/2006 • Phase 2, undertaken in 2008/2009 (included a Road Survey)

  8. Process and Activities So Far • As a result, the observatory database was developed and the data analyzed to produce indicators. • The database included data for 2005/2006 from computerized sources from major stakeholders as well as data from a road survey. • Indicators generated were compiled in a report and the results were discussed in a workshop and disseminated widely.

  9. Process and Activities So Far • However, in the last quarter of 2008 and early 2009, further computerized information was collected for analysis for the periods 2007/2008/2009 • KPA Data collected in 2009: • SAP/ERP Data for Jan-July 2008, Dwell times only • Waterfront System Data for Aug-Dec 2008 • Waterfront data for Jan-Aug 2009 • KRA Data collected in 2009: • Manifest and Transit Declarations Data for 2007 and 2008 • URA Data Collected in 2009: • 2007 and 2008 transit declarations. • RRA Data collected in 2009: • 2007 and 2008 transit declarations.

  10. Process and Activities So Far • A road survey was also undertaken in August-September 2009. • Observatory databases were enhanced to be web-based. • Filters were added to the main reports to enable the generation of ad-hoc reports based on the core data. • Indicators for 2007/2008 and early 2009 were produced

  15. Constraints • Data collection and donation from stakeholders was envisioned to be continuous, but had constraints. • E.g. In-house changes and ongoing computerization initiatives to enhance operations at the stakeholders disrupted data flow, such as: • implementation of the waterfront system at Mombasa Port • activities around the implementation of the Simba 2005 system at the KRA. • Previously agreed to schedules and formats of data collection and submission to NCTTCA were not adhered to. • Performance benchmarking • Funding Constraints

  16. Way Forward • Road Survey data to be undertaken at least once a year. • Computerized data to be collected from stakeholders on agreed frequencies and analyzed. • Indicators to be disseminated widely via the web platform, email and a quarterly report to be produced by NCTTCA. • Funding support needs to be looked for further activities • Focal points system of data collection needs to be strengthened and formal data exchange agreements undertaken with key stakeholders.

  17. Conclusion • The Corridor Performance Monitoring cannot be useful tools without • Effective and Integrity Data Collection • Critical analysis • Wide distribution of the report generated • On regular basis, need to update the benchmark in order to cope with the Corridor Performance Situation 17
