As a first assessment of the proposed IMT-GT economic connectivity corridors, the
study's findings rely on a robust examination of existing literature and field realities,
supplemented by extensive consultations with government officials at the national and subnational
levels, as well as representatives of donor agencies. The study also incorporates
findings from a field study that included travel of more than 2,500 kms along the four economic
connectivity corridors over a period of three weeks, which included detailed physical inspection
of existing infrastructure assets. Needless to say, not each transport mode in terms of port,
airport and road could be visited due to the limitations of time.
