SECTION B: Project report and reflection
Briefly answer each of the questions below. Section B should be a maximum of 2-3 pages, inclusive of the questions and tables provided.
1. Project description: In 3-4 sentences, describe the project and its main objectives.
The proposed project seeks to address issues in Chokepoints 1, 4 and 6 identified in APEC Supply Chain Connectivity Framework (Nov2009). These issues are transparent and effective collaboration of business and government bodies inside each APEC Member economy as well as “across the border”. The project objective is to determine APEC principles of transborder logistics services optimization, covering government and industry transactions. These principles could be a driver to launch government and business programs and projects, which will facilitate seamless transport flows in APEC region as well as provide vital information to increase their quality and decrease the risks. The full scope of regulatory issues affecting logistics as well as matching of government border control and transport flows is to be thoroughly examined.
2. Meeting your objectives: Describe how the project went, with reference to the objectives laid out in your project proposal. Include any major changes to your project as proposed and any problems or obstacles that you encountered and how you overcame them.
The key project objectives are:
· to hold the APEC Workshop to discuss the ways of regular information / best practices exchange on transport infrastructure development and modal connectivity in APEC region;
· to develop Workshop conclusions including regular information of best practices in physical infrastructure development and intermodal connectivity in APEC region as well as possible ways of coordination within APEC of transport infrastructure development national plans.
The project aims at collecting the best examples of intermodal cargo transportation to bring it to discussion and collection for member economies. Technical and organizational solutions can be shared for dramatic increase in efficiency of supply chains – it is especially important for developing economies in order not to duplicate the existing work in this field.
3. Project evaluation: Describe how you evaluated the project and provide some details on the results of the evaluation (e.g. participant evaluation, peer review of publication, measurement of indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.).
The Workshop gave an opportunity for APEC economies to network and exchange practices of transport physical infrastructure development as well as seamless intermodal cargo movement among APEC economies and across the Asia-Pacific region more broadly. Forty-two participants from the APEC Secretariat, eight APEC Member economies (Canada, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Thailand, the United States and Viet Nam), including the Lead Shepherd of the APEC Transportation Working Group (TPTWG), Ms. Arlene Turner, and an invited guest from the International Road Transport Union (IRU) attended the Workshop. The delegates represented governmental bodies, as well as private businesses, academia and non-governmental organizations. Participants agreed that the Workshop made substantial progress in advancing and understanding of the issues of seamless intermodal cargo movement. The Workshop increased the participants’ knowledge and understanding of successful activities in the area of transport-related physical infrastructure development in many APEC economies. It was noted that the Workshop and its outcomes will help to ensure the successful implementation of the project ‘Sharing Best Practices for Seamless Intermodal Cargo Movement. Phase 1: Physical Infrastructure’.
4. Key findings: Describe one or two examples of important findings arising from the project (e.g. results from surveys or case studies, insights provided by participants or experts, policy recommendations, roadblocks to progress on an issue etc.).
Workshop speakers and presenters offered participants a variety of lessons learned, plans, prospects and ideas based on their multi-faceted experiences. The Workshop was successful in promoting the identification of relevant best practices as well as an exchange of understanding and awareness by APEC economies with regard to regional coordination within APEC.
Workshop participants:
· were informed of current activities and national plans for transport-related physical infrastructure development in APEC economies,
· shared experiences and best practices on issues of intermodal cargo movement as well as physical infrastructure development, and
· discussed further steps and coordination mechanisms to improve regional connectivity, including activities of the TPTWG, APEC member economies and the private sector.
5. Next steps: Describe any follow-up steps or projects that you recommend. Have you already planned or begun these? What role could APEC play in any follow-up?
Key follow-up of the project is the using of the Workshop’s outcomes at the 36th Transportation Working Group meeting and Special APEC Transportation Ministerial Meeting of 2012.
For example Ministers recognized that reliable supply chains are crucial for maintaining sustainable development and providing economic, energy, food and environmental security in the region and in the world, acknowledge the ongoing activities of the APEC Transportation Working Group (TPTWG) to study and enhance supply chains, and its role in the implementation of the Supply Chain Connectivity Action Plan and they agree to jointly explore, with industry and relevant stakeholders, opportunities for the diversification of supply chain routes across all modes, the improvement of supply chain connectivity, and the establishment of a logistics information service network in order to yield significant economic benefits in terms of cutting transportation and transaction costs, increasing supply chain efficiency and security, creating, thus, better transit environment for global trade
The topic of Supply Chain Connectivity Framework is in focus of Transportation Working Group activities till now and the project contributed their implementation.
6. Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have any suggestions for more effective management of projects in the future? Any assessment of consultants, experts or participants that you would like to share? (The Secretariat collates and examines feedback to identify trends for ongoing evaluation of our project management and/or communications systems.)
