Accessing additional professional and technical resources was helpful in contributing to the success of the TA. In particular, the involvement of technical experts from the WCO enhanced the provision of technical support and enabled the TA to develop methodologies (TRS, JCC). In addition, the use of Japanese resource persons enabled the TA to draw on country practices in customs modernization and visibility improvement. These lessons could be relevant to other JFPR-funded TA projects as well.
