The Master Plan in action
How do we work?
The Master Plan is a joint effort of the eight subnational territories, coordinated through the Executive Commission of the Forum of Subnational Territories, which brings together actors from the national and subnational public sectors, civil society organizations, academia, and the private sector.
The IDB acts as the Executing Unit of the Master Plan and Technical Secretariat of the Forum, providing technical assistance and financial resources to support the planning and management of the corridor.
How is the Master Plan organized?
The challenge of the Master Plan is to plan actions and projects that are coordinated under a common and integrated territorial vision, based on the concept of a “sustainable development corridor,” which incorporates a broader agenda of interventions beyond infrastructure.
That is why the Master Plan is organized into three complementary dimensions:
- Physical and digital infrastructure focused on value chains, to improve roads, border crossings, port connectivity, telecommunications networks, and energy supply.
- Trade facilitation and cross-border processes, to make the flow of people and goods more efficient through measures that simplify and harmonize procedures, reducing time and logistical costs. (See more)
- Local productive and commercial development, to strengthen productive sectors and regional value chains, attract investment, diversify local economies, and increase trade.
What are we doing?
The Master Plan is currently in the implementation phase, with technical studies, field visits, and workshops for each of the dimensions. These activities help diagnose needs, build consensus among public and private stakeholders, and define strategic projects.
One of the recent developments is the study on trade facilitation and cross-border processes, which identifies improvement opportunities and solutions in operational, infrastructure, human resources, regulatory, and institutional areas to streamline the movement of goods, people, and vehicles along the corridor.
