(iii) Strengthening evidence on the merits of market based instruments, facilitating improved dialogue and supporting public-private partnerships for investment in transport and communication infrastructure to reduce transport costs and improve access to information, strengthening regulatory frameworks to promote competitiveness, and developing the capacity of involved stakeholders to advocate for policy interventions conducive to market and intra-regional trade development, are imperative.
