Under the project to develop corridors and trade facilitation, which it finances, the African Development Bank (AfDB) included a trade facilitation component. In this connection, the National Trade Facilitation Committee (NTFC) of Madagascar was consulted in 2019 with regard to the component's strategic direction and identifying the activities of the NTFC road map to be included in it. The strategic priorities adopted include the establishment of a trade information portal.
The AfDB is therefore providing technical assistance for the recruitment of two consultancy firms to carry out the following missions:
