Corridors fail before assets fail.
Global trade disruptions are often explained through congestion, capacity limits, or infrastructure gaps. The source argument is sharper: corridors often fail earlier, at the level of confidence, interpretation, and trust.
This Practice Note series frames corridor performance as a question of institutional clarity as much as physical infrastructure. Roads, ports, and border posts matter, but so do the signals, rules, expectations, and decision systems that make corridor actors trust the route.
Africa Intelligent Corridors 2030
Developed under the Africa Intelligent Corridors 2030 programme and circulated by CILT Mauritius, the series invites professional reflection on how corridors can become more intelligent, trusted, and resilient.
The four downloadable notes should be read as one sequence: diagnosing the invisible failures of corridor systems before they harden into visible disruption.
