Effective transport and logistics planning require a multi-stakeholder approach, particularly in a central hub and trade location such as Urumqi. Therefore, capacity building and knowledge sharing needed to bridge across multiple departments and agencies outside of UCTRC and Urumqi city that usually do not work together or share plans and data. The use of participatory, multi-stakeholder workshops and training sessions enabled the consultants to gain stakeholder feedback and understand the priorities from government departments outside of UCTRC. These workshops also enabled effective knowledge sharing between government departments that usually operate and conduct strategic planning in isolation of one another. This approach has resulted in effective capacity and institutional strengthening related to the importance of collaboration and information sharing.
