| Pipeline Transport |
Though the Northern Corridor pipeline is only up to Eldoret and Kisumu, it is evident that this reduces the trucking distance for transit countries if they pick the products from the nearest depots. There is need to fast track improvement of loading facilities to improve track turnaround and efficiency, and sensitising on the cost savings as a result of the expanded capacity of the pipeline to cushion on the unpredictability of the market

There should be identification of trucks on first weighing (certificate of identification on compliance) to avoid multiple stops at the weighbridges and a comprehensive sensitisation of truck drivers on weighing

| Cargo Monitoring |
There should be a common platform of ECTS in the region as this will ensure cargo integrity and seamless monitoring of transit goods from the origin to the final destination. Data from ECTS to collaborate the GPS survey initiative; Currently, only Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda are using the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System. All the Northern Corridor Member States should join this initiative as goods under RECTS take shorter transit and clearance time

There is reported higher OSBP crossing time at Malaba border. These delays reverse the gains made by OSBP and SCT initiatives calling for enhanced systems connectivity and provision of enough parking yards at the border to reduce congestion. Also, there is a need to do border audit to identify any other bottlenecks affecting the flow of traffic and if need be, review standard operating procedures and removal of duplicate procedures
